A Hero's Burial

Liviu Librescu was laid to rest in Israel.

RAANANA, Israel (AP) -- A Holocaust survivor gunned down trying to save his students from the Virginia Tech shooting rampage was buried in Israel Friday to the sobs of his grieving family.

Engineering Professor Liviu Librescu's body was wrapped in a prayer shawl according to Jewish tradition, and his two sons intoned the Kaddish, the Hebrew prayer for the dead.

A representative of the Romanian government posthumously awarded the Romanian-born Librescu the country's highest medal for his scientific accomplishments and heroism. Romanian officials laid a wreath at the grave.

"I walked through the streets today with my head held high because I have such a father," his elder son, Joe, said.

Man. That last quote gets you.

I can think of no more fitting tribute than that some future Hall at VT be named for Librescu. I hope this is OK with his family, and that it gains momentum.
There is no "thanks" that can approach the gift he has given some of his students.

Well, I guess I'm not linking right away, as our server seems to have crashed again.

Server quirks aside, this man is truly a hero.

God grant him rest, and peace to his family and friends.

olá amigos, provavelmente enviar um torpedo grátis está cada vez mais difícil devido ao bloqueio das operadoras de celular. Há ainda os websites que prometem entregar meu torpedo mas quase nunca chegam ao usuário final. Alguns como o Mundo oi e o Oi Torpedo funcionam mas e para as outras operadoras? E os que dizem que enviam e nada chega. Para onde está indo as meus torpedos? E para a Tim, Vivo? Alguma Idéia? Ou significa ter de pagar?. Foi mal, realmente está difícil achar bons sites para enviar SMS grátis.

Boa noite pessoal, realmente disparar um torpedo web grátis está cada vez mais custoso devido falta de opções das operadoras de telefone. Há ainda serviços de terceiros (sites) que prometem entregar meu torpedo mas quase nunca chegam recepiente final. Alguns como o Mundo oi e o Oi Torpedo funcionam mas e para as outras operadoras? E os que prometem que mandam e nada chega. Para onde está indo as meus SMS? E para a Tim, Vivo? Alguma Idéia? Ou significa ter de pagar?. Foi mal, realmente está difícil achar bons sites para mandar torpedos gratuito.

olá galera, realmente manter um veículo é custoso devido ao encarecimento de algumas empresas como as de leasing. Estas nem dão valor ao contrato firmado ou tem embutidas em letras microscópicas deveres que dão prejuízo ao comprador do veículo. O Código do Consumidor muitas vezes não protege todas as clausúlas do comprador. Estava lendo umas dicas no http://www.carrousado.org sobre todos os passos para a aquisição sem ter dor de cabeça depois. Desculpem, realmente está difícil fazer boas aquisições.

Bom dia amigos, realmente ter um automóvel é custoso devido ao encarecimento de algumas empresas como as de vendas de usados. Estas nem sempre cumprem ao contrato feito ou tem embutidas em letras ilegíveis deveres que dão prejuízo ao consumidor do carro. O Código do Consumidor muitas vezes não comtempla todas as deveres do comprador.

Boa tarde companheiros, com certeza ter um veículo é oneroso devido ao encarecimento de algumas empresas como as de leasing. Estas nem dão valor ao contrato assinado ou tem escondidas em letras ilegíveis regras que dão prejuízo ao adquirinte do automóvel. O Código do Consumidor muitas vezes não comtempla todas as artimanhas do consumidor. Estava lendo umas experiências no http://www.carrousado.org sobre todos os passos para a compra sem ter dor de cabeça no final. Desculpem, realmente está difícil fazer boas aquisições.

Boa noite galera, verdadeiramente ter um carro é custoso devido ao altos custos de algumas empresas como as de financiamento. Estas nem sempre cumprem ao contrato assinado ou tem embutidas em letras microscópicas regras que não beneficiam ao consumidor do carro. O Código do Consumidor muitas vezes não comtempla todas as deveres do consumidor. Estava lendo umas experiências no http://www.carrousado.org sobre todos os cuidados para a compra sem ter dor de cabeça mais tarde. Foi mal, realmente está difícil fazer bons negócios.
