I was sad to learn that things are not looking to good about Farrah's health. Long time partner Ryan O'Neill. Ryan tells People Magazine "The treatment has pretty much ended," that the cancer has pretty much spread throughout her body and "She stays in bed now," O'Neal said. "The doctors see that she is comfortable. Farrah is on IVs, but some of that is for nourishment." Farrah also lost her all of her golden hair. While O'Neal is trying to stay hopeful, he is also dealing with the possibility of living without Fawcett. O'Neal's candid interview comes just as Fawcett prepares to talk about her illness in "Farrah's Story."
The two-hour documentary, shot by Fawcett and good friend Alana Stewart, airs next Friday, May 15.
"It was never meant to be a documentary," said Stewart. "Farrah just took her little hand-held camera to the doctor one day."

Anne White was an American tennis player whose peak ranking on the WTA tour was 19th. Since she never got past the fourth round of a Grand Slam event, she is most famous for her first-round match at Wimbledon versus Pam Shriver in 1985 in which she wore a tight-fitting white body suit. The photographers had a field day with "White's whites." White did not figure she had done anything wrong as she had adhered to Wimbledon's all-white dress code. Nevertheless, when her match was suspended due to darkness, tournament referee Alan Mills told White to wear something more traditional the following day. Opponent Pam Shriver described White's outfit as "bizarre."

Questions surrounding the birthplace of an American president are not new. It first happened more than a century ago with Chester Alan Arthur. Elected as vice-president in 1880, Arthur ascended to the White House in 1881 after James Garfield was assassinated. Arthur served as president until 1885. His administration is generally underrated by historians. Arthur was the son of Irish-born preacher William Arthur and Vermont-born Malvina Stone. Most official references list him as having been born in Fairfield in Franklin County, Vermont on October 5, 1829, but Arthur sometimes claimed to have born in 1830. (That is the year inscribed on his crypt. It also appears in some reference works.) Arthur's father had initially migrated to Dunham, Québec, Canada, where he and his wife owned a farm about 80 miles north of the American border. There has long been speculation that the future president was actually born on that Canadian farm and that his family moved to Fairfield afterward. If this is true, Arthur would have been constitutionally ineligible to serve as vice-president or president. Given the lack of official documentation and the seeming confusion about the year of Arthur's birth, historians have been unable to rule this possibility out. Although some of Arthur's political opponents circulated the Canadian-birthplace rumor during the 1880 election campaign, they could not prove it. No ironclad proof has emerged since.

You can't make this stuff up... From July 2008: A judge in New Zealand, fed up with parents bestowing bizarre names on their offspring, has given a girl named Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii the chance to change hers.
Judge Rob Murfitt has ruled that the girl, 9, become a ward of the court so her name can be changed. The girl was involved in a custody battle between her separated parents.
In his ruling made public Thursday, Murfitt expressed concern at the 'very poor judgment' shown by the parents in selecting the moniker.
'It makes a fool of the child and sets her up with a social disability and handicap, unnecessarily,' said Murfitt.
The court heard that the girl was so embarrassed by her name that she never even told her friends.
Instead, she told people to call her K, her lawyer told the family court in the port city of New Plymouth, located on the west coast of the North Island.
The ruling was made in February 2008, but became public five months later when it was published in law reports. The girl's new name will not be made public in order to protect her identity.
In his ruling, Murfitt cited a list of strange names given to children in New Zealand.
He said names blocked by registration officials included Yeah Detroit, Keenan Got Lucy, Twisty Poi, Fish and Chips, and Sex Fruit. However, Number 16 Bus Shelter and Violence were allowed.
New Zealand law does not allow names that would cause offence to a reasonable person, among other conditions, said Brian Clarke, the registrar general of births, deaths and marriages.
Clarke said officials usually talk to parents who propose unusual names to convince them of the potential embarrassment for the child.
