Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, the liberal lion of the Senate and haunted bearer of the Camelot torch after two of his brothers fell to assassins' bullets, died late Tuesday after battling a brain tumor. He was 77. For nearly a half-century in the Senate, Kennedy was a steadfast champion of the working class and the poor, a powerful voice on health care, civil rights, and war and peace. To the American public, though, he was best known as the last surviving son of America's most glamorous political family, the eulogist of a clan shattered again and again by tragedy. His family announced his death in a brief statement released early Wednesday.

There is a bright light at the end of the tunnel because there are products that are so easy and universal that you cannot possibly go wrong this time around. Digital gadgets and electronics are in abundance, and it's time to utilize these products to your advantage. Whatever the occasion is, you will find something for that special someone regardless of their lifestyle.
The majority of people in this world love music. Even people who do not have a favorite musician or group can still appreciate music. One of the hottest gifts in the last few years has been Apple's iPod product line. Featuring innovative control and a simple but sleek appearance, the iPod has been pretty much dominating the market since it was first introduced. MP3s can be downloaded off of iTunes for a mere 99 cents per track or, in most cases, $9.99 to $13.99 per album, which is definitely less expensive than what you would normally pay for the soon-to-be-obsolete compact disc. Of course, any MP3 player is good, too.
What about a gift for Grandma's birthday? Well, she might not find an MP3 player or a Blu-Ray player very useful, but she will no doubt appreciate and love a digital photo frame. These photo frames show slides of pictures that you upload with a memory stick or an SD card, and some models even allow you to upload MP3s so that songs will play as the frame cycles through each photo.

She and Neeson, who was nominated for a best actor Oscar in 1994 for his role in Schindler's List, have two children.
When asked by a journalist what his version of heaven would be, Neeson said it was being with his boys, adding that he was "kind of living it at the moment".
