When the Canadian national team beat Puerto Rico for the bronze medal in the 2001 Tournament of the Americas, Nash scored 22 points. After the game, Nash told his agent, Bill Duffy, that he was driven to win by Puerto Rico's Carmelo Travieso, the former star UMass point guard.

For 37 years, Frances Ivey returned home from work each day at the Del Monte cannery, her rubber apron splattered with pear peelings. Then she'd start canning her own fruits and vegetables.

Ricketts is like a cult figure," says environmental historian Joseph Taylor. Scientists at the University of Victoria on Vancouver Island have erected a small shrine to Ricketts, a glass-enclosed cabinet crammed with pickled seashore specimens collected by him along with his portrait.

Joseph Campbell, renowned mythologist and a close friend of Ricketts, once toyed with the idea of writing a novel based on Ricketts as the "hero" archetype.
"I've been an admirer of Ricketts for a long time," says Dr. John Pearse, professor emeritus, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of California, Santa Cruz. "Ed Ricketts was way ahead of people. It wasn't until the 1980s that s...

The machines and bed dwarfed the 73-year-old, 5-foot-2-inch Mesecher, who had lost weight as a result of pancreatic cancer. She had just spent approximately six hours in surgery where doctors worked to treat the Vancouver woman's cancer by removing a portion of her pancreas.
