Senator Edward Brooke Biography

Edward William Brooke, III was born on October 26, 1919 in Washington D.C. He attended public schools in D.C. He graduated from Howard University in D.C. in 1941. He was a Captain in the United States Army with the 366th Infantry Regiment in Italy. He served for five years until the end of World War II. He then graduated from Boston University Law School in 1948.

Brooke began his career as a prosecutor in Boston. He ran for public office several times without success while continuing to command a reputation in Boston as a fierce prosecutor. He became known as a crime fighter, vigorously prosecuting organized crime and corruption. He also worked with local police departments on the Boston Strangler case. Edward Brooke held several offices for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts including as Chairman of the Finance Commission for the City of Boston (1961 - 1962) and then as the first African American in the United States to be elected as a state’s Attorney General. He served as Attorney General for the Commonwealth in 1962 and again in 1964. He was then elected to the United States Senate in 1966 and served two terms. He was unsuccessful in his third re-election bid which ended his Senate career in January 1979. Many attribute his loss to a very public and ugly divorce he was going through at the time.

Senator Edward Brooke was the first African American elected to the Senate by popular vote. He remains the last Republican elected to the Senate from Massachusetts. On June 23, 2004 he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President George W. Bush.

Former Senator Brooke is currently living in Miami, Florida with his second wife, Amy. He is the father of two daughters and a son.

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, originally written by Washington Irving in the 1800’s, is still a popular story amongst society. With Irving’s companion piece “Rip Van Winkle”, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” is among the earliest examples of American fiction still read today.

You can download legend of sleepy hollow at ZML. “Headless Horseman” is, obviously, based on the legend of Sleepy Hollow and the Headless Horseman, however this film sets the record straight. According to this, the Washington Irving story was a little ‘white-washed’ and the events that take place here are the real deal.

John Kanzius is from Erie, Pennsylvania. He owned Jet Broadcasting until he retired about a year ago. He also is an inventor. He believed that he could use radio frequency to cure cancer without the horrible side effects associated with other cancer treatments. His cancer fighting machine is called Kanzius RF therapy and was featured on 60 Minutes.

Six years ago Kanzius was diagnosed with terminal leukemia. He has been subjected with 36 rounds of chemotherapy in the years since his diagnosis. He is very humble about his invention. He emphasizes that he doesn’t want to give people false hope and that he’s not a ‘cancer expert’. Even so, his invention is being recognized by the most respected experts in the field of cancer research as the ‘most exciting cancer therapy’ to have come on the scene in over twenty years.

When Kanzius first started working on his machine his wife thought he had lost his mind. She reminded him that doctors haven’t found a cure for cancer so it was unlikely he could. He has said that sometimes it takes someone on the outside with a different perspective to see something those on the inside aren’t seeing. He said it wasn’t his own cancer that motivated him, but the eyes of the children on the cancer wards he saw when he went to get his own treatment.

In spite of all the odds, it seems that his machine is working, at least with some forms of cancer. Trials of the RF treatment have shown that the machine kills 100 percent of malignant cells in humans and animals without harming surrounding healthy tissue.

This week, Kanzius was awarded the 2008 Louis J. Tullio Community Service Award by the Erie Regional Chamber and Growth Partnership. He accepted the award via a pre-recorded video (you can view the video below the jump) from his home in Florida. Kanzius has formed a company, Therm Med LLC, to promote the commercial development of his cancer-killing machine.

DirecTV’s special deal to show the Masters on five different channels does for golf fans what NFL Sunday Ticket does for football fans, and I don’t think I’m overstating things when I call it a great step forward for sports on television.

The satellite provider is showing the regular ESPN Masters feed in high definition on Channel 707, highlights from today’s earlier rounds in high definition on Channel 708, Amen Corner in high definition on Channel 709 and Holes 15 and 16 in high definition on Channel 710.

And then there’s what you see above, which is a picture I just took of my own TV screen. That’s Channel 706, the Masters Mix Channel, which constantly shows the leaderboard on the left and the other four Masters channels in smaller boxes in the right and center of the screen, meaning you can monitor everything. Bonus: The four channels show their commercials at different times, so you can easily scroll around with your remote and avoid them. The Masters Mix is absolutely incredible.

DirecTV will keep this in place through all four days of the Masters. Kudos to DirecTV, CBS, ESPN and Augusta National for making this happen.

The 2008 Masters Golf tournament took place in the Augusta National golf club which is located in Augusta, Georgia, USA between April 7 and April 13, 2008. This tournament is one of the official PGA Tour golf tournaments.

The winner of the 2008 Masters Golf Tournament was Tiger Woods the super American golf player who had lost the master golf tournament to Zach Johnson and Phil Mickelson for the last two years and got it back in 2008.

American Idol results were coming in over the next hour and Gambling911.com is here live with who got voted off and who is safe for another week.  Carrie Stroup has the night off.  This is Jordan Bach reporting.

Heading into Thursday night’s results show it appeared as if Syesha Mercado and Carly Smithson were the most likely to be going home after preliminary numbers.  Also likely to appear in the bottom three: David Cook or Michael Johns.

Surprisingly, despite a somewhat lackluster performance, and one that none of us here at Gambling911.com can even remember - Brooke White did not appear to have the lowest vote count nor did it seem she would be among the bottom three.  But anything is possible.

The only safe Idols for sure seemed to be David Archuleta - with the most votes, Jason Castro and Kristy Lee Cook, who had her best performance of the season this week. 

This week’s Results Show was coming a day later as a result of Idol Gives Back being broadcast Wednesday night.  Over $60 million was raised heading into Thursday night’s Results Show and money was still being raised.

Refresh this page during the hour to get all the latest American Idol results.  Find out who’s safe, who’s in the bottom three and ultimately, who got voted off.

Brooke White was safe.

David Cook was safe.

David Archuleta was safe.

Jason Castro safe.

The Speedo LZR racer swimsuit has become the champion swimsuit yet again Thursday.

Jessica Hardy, who wore the Speedo LZR, set a record in the women’s 50-meter breaststroke at the short-course swimming world championships on Thursday.

Hardy, 21, finished in 29.58 seconds to shave 0.32 off the record, garnering yet another record by a person who wore the high-tech suit.

The Speedo LZR racer swimsuit has been worn in 22 of the 23 records that have been broken since its release in February.

The Speedo LZR is built with a girdle meant to hold a swimmer’s body in the best position as he or she moves through the water.

The governing body of swimming decided last weekend not to ban the new Speedo LZR racer swimsuit, despite claims of buoyancy and “technological doping” by several critics.

The Speedo LZR racer swimsuits, which is said to have been designed by NASA, cost $500 in retail price.

I am a even bigger fan of the Survivor series than that other person. I have wrote regarding the entire season schedule a great many times.

Jeff discussed the conference call that was all related to the Survivor Ponderosa which is to be announced on CBS.

Their is more confirmed events on the internet that Jeff Probst will not be returning to the long time program and will be replaced by Jason Taylor. I can’t wait to see Jeff gone from Survivor Ponderosa, since he is the Survivor Series weakest link.

Baby, when I met you there was peace unknown
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb
I was soft inside, there was somethin going on
You do something to me that I cant explain
Hold me closer and I feel no pain
Every beat of my heart
We got somethin goin on
Tender love is blind
It requires a dedication
All this love we feel
Needs no conversation
We ride it together, ah-ah
Makin love with each other, ah-ah

Chorus:

Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in-between
How can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ah
From one lover to another, ah-ah

I cant live without you if the love was gone
Everything is nothin if you got no one
And you did walk in tonight
Slowly loosen sight of the real thing

But that wont happen to us and we got no doubt
Too deep in love and we got no way out
And the message is clear
This could be the year for the real thing

No more will you cry
Baby, I will hurt you never
We start and end as one, in love forever
We can ride it together, ah-ah
Makin love with each other, ah-ah
