Australian Mountaineer Lincoln Hall Dies at 56
Transcript by www.newsy.com BY MICHAEL COLLINS ANCHOR ANA COMPAIN-ROMERO Lincoln Hall, one of Australia’s most eminent mountaineers, passed away on Tuesday. The climber suffered from an extremely rare and aggressive asbestos-related cancer, mesothelioma. In 1984, Hall was a part of the first Australian team to climb Mt. Everest, although he was unable to summit the peak due to altitude sickness. But in 2006, he tried again. World News Australia reports … “It was his second attempt in 2006, which made international headlines — this time he made it. On the way down, Lincoln Hall was again hit by altitude sickness, and his team left him there.” According to Sydney Morning Herald… “He was left for dead on the mountain at 8700 metres when he broke down while descending from the 8848-metre summit. Those with him could not move him after he became delirious, a sign of oedema, or fluid on the brain.” The world-renowned climber had a career that spanned 30 years, and included expeditions across the Himalayas, Andes and Antarctica. According to Australia’s Channel 7 News … “Mr Hall died peacefully at Sydney’s Royal Prince Alfred Hospital on Tuesday after a year-long battle with mesothelioma … the climber and author was diagnosed with the rare cancer last year, the result of being exposed to asbestos while building cubby houses as a child.” Hall is survived by his wife Barbara Scanlan and two sons.

Lincoln Hall, mountaineer left on Everest, dies
SYDNEY (AP) — Mountaineer Lincoln Hall, who was rescued a day after being given up for dead near the summit of Everest in 2006, died Wednesday of cancer in Australia. He was 56. Hall reached the peak of the world’s highest mountain but became gravely ill from oxygen deprivation during the descent. His guides helped him initially then left to save their own lives. American guide Daniel Mazur, his two clients and a Sherpa guide were just two hours from the 29035-foot peak on the morning of May 26 when they came across Hall, who had been left alone a day earlier. “I was shocked to see a guy without gloves, hat, oxygen bottles or sleeping bag at sunrise at 28200 feet height, just sitting up there,” Mazur told The Associated Press days after the rescue. Mazur said Hall’s first words to him were: “I imagine you are surprised to see me here.” Mazur’s team pulled Hall away from the slopes, gave him oxygen, food and liquids and radioed the base camp to tell Hall’s surprised team he was alive. After he was helped down the mountain, he was taken to a clinic in Nepal’s capital for treatment of a chest infection, fluid on his brain and frostbitten fingers. He expressed no resentment about being left on the mountain, friend and spokesman Simon Balderstone said in Katmandu at the time. “We shared a joke or two, which is always a good sign,” he said. Balderstone was among those who confirmed his death at a Sydney hospital, a year after Hall had been diagnosed with mesothelioma. A …

Dr. James Hogg Canadian Medical Hall of Fame Laureate 2010
Born in Winnipeg, Dr. James Hoggs brilliant career and uniquely-blended background in pathology, pulmonary physiology and molecular biology has leveraged over 40 years of seminal contributions to the world’s understanding of lung disease. An outstanding researcher, teacher, lecturer and colleague, Dr. Hogg has arguably had a greater influence on the medical community’s knowledge of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Asthma than any other individual worldwide. During his Ph.D. program at McGill University in the 1960s, Dr. Hogg was thoroughly trained in lung morphometry, stereology, respiratory physiology and pathophysiology. He later expanded his experimental toolkit by learning the principles of molecular biology and high resolution lung imaging giving him an unrivaled set of skills and a remarkable ability to understand the relationship between lung structure and function. Throughout his career, Dr. Hoggs research has remained focused on the mechanisms and anatomical sites of obstructive lung disease. His first publication in 1968 presented a revolutionary idea that the focus in COPD should not be on the large airways but rather on the smaller ones. Numerous groundbreaking studies followed both his and those of other investigators that verified the accuracy of Dr. Hoggs original hypothesis and advanced our knowledge of how the lung works in health and disease, including the pathophysiology of asthma and the harmful effects of smoking and pollution. In 1977 …

Linda Hall Leukemia Survivor Story
Linda is a person who never sits still. Halfway up the volcano, she had to stop. She was sweating. Her heart was racing. That’s when, she says, “I knew something was very wrong.” When she returned home, Linda immediately went to her doctor. “First they thought it was the flu. Then they thought malaria,” she says. “But I wasn’t getting any better.” Finally, Linda was properly diagnosed. It was leukemia. That’s when she insisted on going to MD Anderson. Once at MD Anderson, Linda received treatment customized for her and her specific type of leukemia. Linda’s doctor, Stefan Faderl, says, “I wanted to give Linda the best shot of therapy that was available.” At Dr. Faderl’s suggestion, Linda agreed to participate in a clinical trial. “It allowed me to enhance proven treatments with new experimental drugs,” he says.

Walking Down The Hall of Your Memories
Walking Down The Hall of Your Memories
Article by Brian Gosur
Ah…Walking down memory lane. I don’t think there is one single individual on the face of this earth that hasn’t done that. Looking back and remembering the way things were. The smiles, laughter, tears, hopes and dreams; it is something that never grows old, even though we do.
Memories are things that just happen as we live life. As we pave a path for ourselves in this world, there are people, places, and things that occur, happen or take place in our lives that will go into the annals of our minds as memories. Some things we are happy to share, and other things we try to keep locked up to only ourselves or a very trusted close friend.
It’s funny how memories work. Sometimes it’s a song or a place that can just, out of the blue, throw us back down to remembering when. These memories are powerful. They can trigger tears, laughter and even fear from out of the depths of nowhere. Ever have those moments when you stop and wonder, “Where did that feeling or emotion come from?”
We all make our own memories. I remember my Dad always saying, “It’s your bed. You make it and you have to sleep in it.” He meant the kind of lifestyle that I was choosing to live was going to be the kind of memories I would have. I made some, not so good decisions, when I was younger, and some of the memories that I have are not very fun go back and walk through, but they are mine none the less. Your memories belong to you.
Memories are good. It’s good to walk down memory lane and think about those fun times with a very special person. Even bad times maybe good to go back and remember, so that you can heal from something that has happened, but it’s when we park in those memory halls, that we can get in trouble. Not just trouble for us, but for anyone around or near to us.
People who are haunted by an ugly or tragic past can be scared and maimed for the rest of their lives. It will affect every single aspect of their futures. Marriage, children, career, our very mental and physical condition can be thwarted out of control because of relentless memories from the past that continue to chase and pursue us.
I have a very close and dear friend who has a past that she has had a difficult time dealing with. She has been to counselors, talked with members of the clergy, and very good friends, but nothing has given her any relief.
There have been some very tragic events that have happened over the past five years, that have brought some of these ugly memories to the surface. They have over flowed into her marriage, children and friends. All these relationships have been affected by these memories.Her mother suffered with pancreatic cancer for eighteen months, before she finally succumbed to very horrible decease. It was not an easy time for her or her family and it left some very negative memories in the halls of her mind.
Next her father, who was totally lost without his wife of fifty-five years, was constantly leaning on her for his very existence. He would call her sometimes fifteen or twenty times a day. This put a lot of stress and burden on her marriage. With some help from her husband, she carried the bulk of this load all by herself.
After about fifteen months from her mother’s death, her father had a massive heart attack and died, but her terrible ordeal was not yet over.She had another friend who died of cancer and a niece who also contracted cancer, but she is on the recovering side. She is in her early thirties and is winning her battle with this dreadful decease. Next a very close friend who has cancer and is not winning her battle. This is someone who she has known since she was in kindergarten. They grew up together and shared all of life together. They are not just friends, they are like sisters, and this one is going to really hurt. She is not expected to survive the week as I write this article.
I don’t know how many of you have been effected by cancer in your families, but to those who have, you know exactly what I’m talking about. I hate cancer. I wish I had a magic wand and could just go around and touch everyone with a cure for this decease that is from the pit of hell. My father died of lung cancer.
She really has not a a time to process all these ugly events in her life. She is a kind and giving person, who hates to see her family and friends suffer from anything, especially cancer, and I know it just is killing her inside, to see this entire thing take place, when all you can do is just try to make them as comfortable as possible.
My closing point in all this is the very thin line that we walk, when we stroll down those halls of our memory. It is so tempting to get lost in the good ones and try to erase the bad ones. It is so easy to pull up a chair and decide to park myself right there and forget the present that I’m living in. I can get very selfish when I stroll down that hall. It’s all about me and my memories. They belong to me.
Some people even talk and wish that they could go back to the past. They speak of how good things were back then. They carry pictures and constantly dream and look back at those times as if they were still there….to the determent of their spouse, children and people who love them right now. You see, these people were not a part of that past and by you always looking back… you never move forward with them. You hurt your relationship with them. You might as well be carrying a sign that says, “I don’t care about anyone here. I just wish I was back there.”
Memories are good and it is good to go walking down the hall of your memories, but be very careful. They can sometimes overwhelm you and start affecting your relationships with people here and now. The past is the past. There is no guarantee of the future. The present is exactly that. It is a gift from God. Enjoy it and embrace it.

Groundbreaking Celebrates the Rebuilding of Fiterman Hall
On September 11, 2001, Borough of Manhattan Community College earned the unfortunate distinction of being the only community college in the nation to suffer the loss of a building—Fiterman Hall—due to a terrorist attack. When World Trade 7 collapsed on 9/11, it fell against adjacent Fiterman Hall, located at 30 West Broadway between Barclay and Park Place, leaving a huge gash in the buildings southern and eastern facades. The site was coated in white ash, the building irreparably damaged, and the fast-growing colleges instructional space cut by one third. Ironically, that month in 2001, The City University of New York (CUNY) and the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York (DASNY) had just reached the end of a total rehabilitation of the building, including extensive asbestos abatement. We were more than 90% complete, in a gut renovation of Fiterman Hall, when tragedy struck, said Paul Williams, DASNYs Executive Director, who spoke at the groundbreaking ceremony. Fiterman Hall: The latest milestone in Lower Manhattans comeback from 9/11 What followed was years of planning for a safe and efficient decontamination, deconstruction and rebuilding of Fiterman Hall, made possible with funding from New York State and City budgets, the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, the September 11th Fund, a property insurance settlement, and a community effort led in large part by New York State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver. This is a long-awaited day in the reconstruction of …
