A FRENCH woman badly disfigured by facial tumours caused by a rare and incurable disease has appealed to President Nicolas Sarkozy to allow her to die by euthanasia.
Top 10: Best names in hockey
10. Clayton Stoner, Houston (AHL)
Sounds like he’s been hanging out with T.J. Kemp, Barnabas Birkeland and Brandon Dubinsky a lot.
9. John Vigilante, Milwaukee (AHL)
You know what kind of justice this cowboy is after.
8. Cal Clutterbuck, Houston (AHL)
Hey, if the NHL doesn’t work out, there’s always the Professional Bull Riders tour to fall back on.
7. Mike Cammalleri, Los Angeles (NHL)
My esteemed and humorous colleague, Brian Costello, never tires of the calamari jokes, i.e. “Boy, if they ever put him between a lemon wedge and some tartar sauce he’d be unstoppable!â€
6. Frantisek Kaberle, Carolina (NHL)
Sounds like a monster whose nerves are shot from driving a taxi.
5. Bear Trapp, Sacred Heart (NCAA)
Name alone entitles him to a job with Claude Julien’s Bruins. Too bad none of the Hunters ever named one of their kids ‘Deer.’
4. Ben Blood, Indiana (USHL)
Guess what he’s out for.
3. Ville-Vesa Vainiola, Lukko Rauma (Finnish League)
The real ‘Flying V.’
2. Kamil Kreps, Florida (NHL)
It’s a lay-up this guy goes into the restaurant biz after he’s done playing. All he needs to do is add an apostrophe and ‘S’ to his first name, then hire a French pastry chef.
1. Bobby Bolt, Augusta (ECHL)
At last, a name more explosive than Dirk Diggler! And best of all, from the you-can’t-make-this-stuff-up file, young Mr. Bolt is from Thunder Bay.
The 12 Most Powerful Christians in Hollywood
Hollywood may have a well-deserved reputation for being a spiritual wasteland, but faith is hardly absent from Tinseltown. The following 12 Hollywood powerhouses are at the top of their game in movies or TV and are unabashed about proclaiming their Christian beliefs. And they’re far from the exception. We chose them from dozens of candidates, in consultation with insiders and observers who are part of the Christian-Hollywood scene. Those who made the Beliefnet Power Dozen are here because they have the clout to choose their career direction, while keeping their faith and even injecting it into their work in subtle or not-so-subtle ways.
I think some of you will be surprised at some who made the list.
