One more highlight video after the jump along with analysis from commentators Kenny Florian and Jon Anik.
The victory provided Jung with two bonuses for Fight of the Night and Submission of the night, netting him a total of $80,000. Here's more on the fight from our play-by-play of the event:
Chan Sung Jung vs. Dustin Poirier - Round 1 - Leg kick by Jung and Poirier lands a left hand. Jung catches a kick and gets a takedown, Poirier turns and looks for his own takedown as they stand up. Body shot by Poirier. Jung gets the fight to the ground again and he's on top. Poirier turns away from the cage. Jung with some good elbows. Poirier bleeding from the forehead already. Poirier with a nice reversal and he's on top now. Jung 10-9 round.
Round 2 - Poirier throws a kick but is slow with it and Jung takes him down with ease. Jung on top landing very nice shots again. Big left by Jung lands. They get to the feet and Jung lands a flying knee. He's pouring on the big shots, Poirier witha big takedown but Jung sweeps right through into the mount. He's on top firing away. Poirier ends up sweeping and spending time on top. I didn't type much that round because I was amazed with how great it was. Great, great fight. 10-9 Jung.
Round 3 - Poirier lands a bit, Jung firing back hard. Poirier looking to land haymakers now, not really setting up his shots. Jung traps him against the cage and flurries hard. Poirier was doing well in the stand-up for a bit before a huge takedown by Jung, but Poirier gets up quickly. Poirier using a good jab. Knee by Jung and some punches, Poirier comes back hard with shots of his own. Good left hand by Poirier. Good body kick by Jung and now he flurries hard coming forward and a big knee to the body. Big left by Poirier again. 10-9 Jung.
Round 4 - Poirier landing some good shots early, Jung with a knee to the body. They're exchanging and Jung lands a hard uppercut and Poirier stumbles backward. He's hurt! Poirier looking for a desperation takedown and he gets caught in a deep choke and Poirier has to submit. What a tremendous performance by Chan Sung Jung! Chan Sung Jung wins by submission (d'arce choke), 1:07 of round 4.

Here is an interesting bit of news. I know some of you are aware that GBP has fights on HBO Latin America, Daniel Ponce De Leon as the most recent example but now they are comitting themselves to a new boxing series on Versus.
Golden Boy Promotions is launching a new monthly boxing series that will be televised on the VERSUS cable network and streamed live on the internet, beginning on June 11, the Los Angeles-based promotional company announced with series partner AEG on Friday.
The series, called "Fight Night Club", will take place at Club Nokia at LA LIVE across the street from STAPLES Center in downtown Los Angeles and will feature up-and-coming prospects in an upscale and intimate club setting.
The monthly club show will not only be televised nationally on VERSUS (9:00 p.m. ET / 6:00 p.m. PT) but it will be streamed live (and archived) on RingTV.com and Yahoo! Boxing, and thus be available to fight fans worldwide in an on-demand basis.
"'Fight Night Club' will focus on the future stars of this game and will show everyone just how champions are made," said Oscar de la Hoya, President of Golden Boy Promotions. "Some of the best fights I've ever seen have taken place at small club shows and now we have the opportunity to bring those fights to the world."

RICHMOND, R.I. - The Rhode Island State Police are sending members of their force to assist law enforcement agencies in New Jersey.
At 5 p.m. Saturday, 19 troopers will mount up and head to New Jersey, where they will assist New Jersey law enforcement, which has been inundated with the consequences and aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
According to state police, the troopers will help with road closures, calls for routine service, curfew enforcement, and fighting crime.
The Rhode Island troopers will be sworn in by the New Jersey Attorney General, meaning they will have full arrest powers.
Police say the troopers' deployment to New Jersey is part of a wider campaign of states pulling together to assist in the recovery of areas most damaged by Hurricane Sandy.

Cabrera Brothers
CYPHER is a sexy, violent, neo-noir adventure told through text, clever puzzles, and beautiful art
What if I told you there's a game that was inspired by films like Robocop, Blade Runner, Total Recall, and Johnny Mnemonic? Would you be interested? What if I told you it was created with Unity, the graphics engine that powers Slender and Guns of Icarus Online? What if one of that game's creators had previously worked as a concept artist not just on video games such as Aliens: Colonial Marines, but in the movie industry as well, with Black Swan? You'd be excited, right?
Now what if I told you that game was an old-school text adventure? CYPHER is the project of brother Javier and Carlos Cabrera, two brothers from Buenos Aires. CYPHER is the duo's first step into the dream of becoming full-time game developers. The brothers told me their spoken English wasn't so good, but even in their writing, it's easy to get a sense of what they're like.
When I asked what it was like having a brother as a business partner, Javier wrote back, "It is very hard, especially when he tries to kill you at least twice a week. There can be only one Cabrera and in the end, there WILL be only one. Sooner or later, one will kill the other. It is written. We set traps, we hire assassins, we poison each other's food. Anything goes."
De-CYPHER-ing the code
The story of CYPHER is a cyberpunk noir thriller. It opens with you, a low-life smuggler named Dogeron Kenon, holding onto a mysterious briefcase after a deal gone bad. To say anything more of the plot would spoil it, as the revelations of who's who, what caused this, and why things are the way they are start flying almost immediately. The briefcase is only the first step into the much, much larger world of NeoSushi.
The Cabrera brothers clearly have a firm grasp on what makes a good story, and their inspirations are as varied as they are influential. "Kojima is one of the biggest. We want to take a blood sample of that man to clone him to make sure his talent endures forever. Team ICO and their amazing Shadow of the Colossus game (masterpiece) is something we still play on weekends. Valve is a big influence for us too, especially the Left 4 Dead series and Half-Life," Carlos wrote. "Zork and Lurking Horror are two of the most amazing works of art ever created by man."
As for film: "We have a strong addiction to sci-fi now, I saw Javier smoke two Blade Runner director's cut dvds in a row and I wake up in the middle of the night yelling 'Kanedaaaa!'"
It was surprising then, that after listing no fewer than a dozen movies and half a dozen games for inspiration, the quote the brothers lives by comes from a martial arts legend. "There is a Bruce Lee quote that says, 'If you always put limits on what you can do, physical or anything else, it'll spread over into the rest of your life. It'll spread into your work, into your morality, into your entire being. There are no limits. There are plateaus, but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you. A man must constantly exceed his level,'" Javier wrote.
"We are just two guys from Buenos Aires. If we had limited ourselves in what we did in the past, none of this would have happened. This is an important lesson for indies out there: don't do your best, do the impossible."
Making the impossible real, making the real accessible
CYPHER feels less like a video game and more like an interactive book. There are beautiful illustrations – all hand-crafted by Carlos – on every "page" of interaction that advances the story. You won't see any "cutscenes" per se, but it's hard not to feel like you're really walking down futuristic streets incognito when the art shows a busy pedestrian walkway.
The art can also help keep you on track of your progress. At the beginning of the game, you're told that there are several objects around you. One of them is a blue keycard that will unlock the mysterious briefcase Dogeron has in his possession. Type "take blue keycard" and it'll appear to the right. The keycard has been sitting under a glass however, and scotch is smeared across the magnetic stripe. If you type "unlock briefcase with blue keycard," it won't work. First you have to clean it.
This is only an example of the kind of puzzles you can find in CYPHER, and there are many more throughout the game, all of them much more interesting than cleaning a keycard. I don't want to spoil them for you, but I'll tell you that you'll be doing things like hacking memories and escaping firefights, all the while uncovering vast conspiracies. It's a seamless blend of text and visual aid, brought to life with your imagination.
"2D is a lost art nowadays, everyone is making 3D games and we felt it was the perfect opportunity to give people something 'new' to try; even when there has been text adventures for years in the indie scene there hasn't be one like CYPHER before," Javier wrote. "For years, Infocom masterminds taught us that the best graphics you can possibly have in a game are made out of the player's own imagination. That's a fact."
"The level of immersion you can achieve with a text adventure is far more powerful than any high definition graphic you can create since it is your mind the one building colors, smells, voices, the whole world around you and it happens all real time." Some players, however, can't be brought into CYPHER's world; not because they don't want to, but because a disability prevents access.
"We got an email on the second or third week after the launch that kicked us hard in the soul: a blind player wrote us asking if he could still play CYPHER with a screen reader. We talked about this before launching the game a lot, but sadly, the engine the game is made on, Unity3D, doesn't supports screen readers," Javier told the Penny Arcade Report. "Are we just going to say 'no' to these players and move on? Damn if we do. We are planning (and the pre-production has already started) a special version of CYPHER for the vision impaired in collaboration with some of these guys, so they too can have an amazing time playing as Dogeron Kenan on NeoSushi."
"Again, if you limit yourself, it spreads to the rest of your life."
At the end of the day, the brothers Cabrera are just that: brothers. They don't see any glory or fame in going independent, but it's what they want most and they're going to stand by each other through the journey. "Maybe it is because we grew on a time where multiplayer meant playing sitting next to each other on the floor while smashing buttons (Battletoads!) instead of being miles away playing through the Internet. Teamwork was different back then; if one died during the game, it just wasn't fun to play anymore," Javier wrote.
That co-op gamer attitude and spirit of teamwork has stuck with them, and made the pair inseparable. "We split all decisions 50-50: money, power, pizza, everything. And in the future if one of us need an extra kidney or a blood transfusion, we know we can count on each other." Here's hoping it doesn't come to that. We could use some more games like CYPHER.
More visions of the future:

In addition to colour genetics, breeders should have an understanding of medical genetics; both Mendelian and Polygenic and performance traits. Aspects of genetic descriptions of breeds, along with parentage testing and pedigrees will also be investigated.

In this course you will research and explore areas of anatomy you are interested in whether it is the hoof, gut, skin, nervous system or any of the other systems based on research and evidence. This course is not currently part of the Equine Science Certificate program but will be of interest to independent self-motivated learners interested in further exploring equine anatomy.
Detailed Course Description
Advanced Equine Health through Nutrition - Next Offering Winter 2015
All of the equine courses have a focus on helping you make good decisions for the health and welfare of your horse by looking at current research and evidence based practice. This advanced nutrition course will explore new research findings as they relate to functional foods for health through nutrition. You will look at the role of diets such as high fibre low starch diets and learn how to correct nutritional deficiencies that may lead to diseased states. Assessment, evaluation and development of feeding programs for specialized populations will also be covered.
Advanced Equine Behaviour - Next Offering September 2014
Advanced Equine Behaviour will take an in-depth look at the behaviour research process as you learn to apply evidence-based knowledge to improve the welfare of the horse. Understanding abnormal behaviour of horses and the management decisions which contribute to them will be a part of assessing and evaluating current management practices. You will have an opportunity to research a current or special topic in equine behaviour research as part of your work in this course. Pre-requisite requirement of Equine Behaviour. Equine Behaviour is offeredin the Summer 2012 semester.
Equine Welfare - TBA
This course will be one of the required courses in our new Equine Welfare Certificate. Equine Welfare introduces the concepts in animal welfare and how it is defined. Students will discuss how to recognize negative emotional states, how welfare can be objectively assessed in the horse, and specific practices which may compromise horse welfare.
Global Perspectives in Equine Welfare - January 2014 - Next Offering TBA
This course takes students through the highly emotional issues of equine welfare exploring different practices across the globe while focusing on the horses perspective. Students will study equine welfare by examining current issues of wild horse management, working horses in developing countries, racing and sport horse practises, slaughter legislation, horses in research, unwanted horses and equine rescue facilities and a comparison of the different equine management practices used around the world. Current advances and key persons in equine research will be discussed, as well as policy development and the legislation covering equines in different countries. Students will be able to knowledgeably discuss equine welfare in any situation and be part of a world-wide move toward encouraging and supporting positive states of equine welfare.

REDWOOD SHORES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/17/12 -- Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL)
News Facts
- Empowering organizations to capitalize on the opportunity of big data to help transform their businesses, Oracle today announced new releases of Oracle Big Data Appliance and Oracle Big Data Connectors.
- Oracle Big Data Appliance X3-2 is a cost-effective, engineered system of hardware and software that has been upgraded to include Intel's new processors and the latest release of Cloudera's Distribution including Apache Hadoop (CDH) and Cloudera Manager, as well as the new Oracle Enterprise Manager plug-in for Big Data Appliance.
- Oracle Big Data Connectors have been enhanced to enable greater SQL access to Hadoop from Oracle Database and to enable more transparent access to Hadoop from R.
- When used in conjunction with Oracle Exadata Database Machine and Oracle Exalytics, Oracle Big Data Appliance with Oracle Big Data Connectors provides a full set of engineered systems to acquire, organize, and analyze big data. The latest releases provide more processing power, memory capacity, enhanced integration and management capabilities.
- Recently, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Funded Frederick National Library won the 2012 Government Big Data Solution Award for its work using the Oracle Big Data Appliance with the Cloudera Distribution of Apache Hadoop (CDH) to build an infrastructure capable of cross-referencing the relationships between 17,000 genes and five major cancer subtypes across 20 million biomedical publication abstracts.
Engineered System Simplifies Big Data for the Enterprise
- Oracle Big Data Appliance X3-2 hardware features the latest 8-core Intel® Xeon E5-2600 series of processors, and compared with previous generation, the 18 compute and storage servers with 648 TB raw storage now offer:
- 33 percent more processing power with 288 CPU cores;
- 33 percent more memory per node with 1.1 TB of main memory;
- and up to a 30 percent reduction in power and cooling
- Oracle Big Data Appliance X3-2 further simplifies implementation and management of big data by integrating all the hardware and software required to acquire, organize and analyze big data. It includes:
- Support for CDH4.1 including software upgrades developed collaboratively with Cloudera to simplify NameNode High Availability in Hadoop, eliminating the single point of failure in a Hadoop cluster;
- Oracle NoSQL Database Community Edition 2.0, the latest version that brings better Hadoop integration, elastic scaling and new APIs, including JSON and C support;
- The Oracle Enterprise Manager plug-in for Big Data Appliance that complements Cloudera Manager to enable users to more easily manage a Hadoop cluster;
- Updated distributions of Oracle Linux and Oracle Java Development Kit;
- An updated distribution of open source R, optimized to work with high performance multi-threaded math libraries
Connectors Integrate Hadoop with Oracle Big Data Ecosystem
- Oracle Big Data Connectors is a suite of software built by Oracle to integrate Apache Hadoop with Oracle Database, Oracle Data Integrator, and Oracle R Distribution.
- Enhancements to Oracle Big Data Connectors extend these data integration capabilities. With updates to every connector, this release includes:
- Oracle SQL Connector for Hadoop Distributed File System, for high performance SQL queries on Hadoop data from Oracle Database, enhanced with increased automation and querying of Hive tables and now supported within the Oracle Data Integrator Application Adapter for Hadoop;
- Transparent access to the Hive Query language from R and introduction of new analytic techniques executing natively in Hadoop, enabling R developers to be more productive by increasing access to Hadoop in the R environment.
Supporting Quotes
- "An influx of raw datasets are flooding every enterprise. However, before businesses can take advantage of the potential opportunity, they face a significant challenge in organizing these diverse data sources," said Cetin Ozbutun, vice president, Data Warehousing and Big Data Technologies, Oracle. "The latest updates further improve the abilities of our customers to optimize big data workloads and integrate them with their data warehouses to easily analyze all data throughout the enterprise."
- "Organizations are increasingly looking for mature, reliable enterprise-ready tools to support their big data initiatives," said Mike Olson, CEO of Cloudera. "Optimized for Hadoop, Oracle Big Data Appliance with Cloudera delivers an easy-to-manage Hadoop platform, designed to meet the Big Data needs of today's enterprise."

"Jack the Giant Slayer" (2013)
The Plot: "Jack the Giant Slayer" tells the story of an ancient war that is reignited when a young farmhand unwittingly opens a gateway between our world and a fearsome race of giants. Unleashed on the Earth for the first time in centuries, the giants strive to reclaim the land they once lost, forcing the young man, Jack (Hoult) into the battle of his life to stop them. Fighting for a kingdom, its people, and the love of a brave princess, he comes face to face with the unstoppable warriors he thought only existed in legend—and gets the chance to become a legend himself.
Movie Review

Jones, Essex Hemphill, Angela Davis and bell hooks, as well as ordinary African Americans, movingly recall their own struggles to discover a more inclusive definition of "blackness." Threading the film together, is Riggs' own deeply personal quest for meaning and self-affirmation as his health deteriorates.

Keith breaks down a range of contemporary media forms, zeroing in on movies and music videos that glamorize womanizing; pornography that trades in the brutalization of women; comedians who make fun of sexual assault; and a groundswell of men's magazines and cable TV shows that revel in old-school myths of American manhood. The message Keith uncovers in virtually every corner of our entertainment culture is clear: it's not only normal – but cool – for boys and men to control and humiliate women. In the end, The Bro Code challenges young people to question this dangerously sexist ideal of masculinity. (50 minutes, 2011, DVD)

A hundred years ago, most people accepted without question what their priest or rabbi or imam taught them about God, but many people today, educated to think for themselves, find that the concepts of God taught by the world's major religions either insult or contradict their intelligence. At the same time they find that having no faith has left a yawning spiritual void in their lives. In Would You Believe?, Tom Harpur deals with the tough questions raised today by real people, such as how to reconcile the presence of evil, pain and suffering with belief in a loving God.
The challenge we face, Harpur writes, is not to find a substitute but to rediscover God under the encrustation of ritual and doctrine that the various faiths have built up. We can go beyond all narrow-minded claims of being the only true religion, the only correct interpreter of God, he says, when we understand that all faiths are simply routes towards God that humans have been inspired to create. We can use our intelligence to believe in God, rather than deny it in order to swallow notions devised for a different people and a different time.
From the Hardcover edition.
"Brilliantly conceived and intellectually challenging."
–Toronto Star
"A reasoned, faith-full, searching examination of basic questions about religious belief today."
–Ann Copeland, Ottawa Citizen
"With the intelligence [Harpur] brings to bear in thinking about God, one is more tempted to believe."
–London Free Press
"Harpur speaks to the growing number of people who have drifted away from the religion of their parents and who now face a spiritual vacuum."
–Southam News
From the Hardcover edition.
A former Rhodes scholar and professor of New Testament studies at Wycliffe College, Toronto, Tom Harpur is also an Anglican priest. He resigned from parish work in 1979 to write full-time in the mass media, in the process extending his "parish" to the whole of Canada. His work in newspapers, television, and his books, notably For Christ's Sake and Life After Death, have consolidated his reputation as one of Canada's pre-eminent religious voices and as a sound spiritual guide for modern times.

"I have no experience with incest," he told TheWrap in an interview on Sunday. "We started thinking about that. We had heard a few stories where brothers and sisters were completely, absolutely in love with one another. You know what? This whole movie is about judgment, and lack of it, and doing what you want. "Who gives a xxxx if people judge you?" he continued. "I'm not saying this is an absolute but in a way, if you're not having kids – who gives a xxxx? Love who you want. Isn't that what we say? Gay marriage – love who you want? If it's your brother or sister it's super-weird, but if you look at it, you're not hurting anybody except every single person who freaks out because you're in love with one another." -The Wrap
Three person marriages. Kids with three parents. Incest. Who cares, so long as you're really in love, right?

Props: Tri-Costa (via Bloody Elbow)
"So, I've decided to give this one more shot. But, the pride I once had for fighting 'Zombie Style' has been shattered. I'm going to change. It's okay if you take away my Korean Zombie title. It's okay if everyone boos me. It's okay if no one in the world ever cheers for me again. For everyone who has supported me thus far, that I have let down... I make this promise to you that I will never fight with the same style, ever again."
In a blog post after WEC 51, exciting featherweight Chan Sung Jung has vowed to change his rock 'em, sock 'em ways. The "Korean Zombie" rose to fame in the U.S. after his legendary three round war with Leonard Garcia on the Spike televised portion of the WEC's one and only pay per view, WEC 48: "Aldo vs Faber." Sung Jung went shot for shot with the "Bad Boy" and refused to back down. Despite coming up on the short end of a split decision, he gained a huge following for his heart and willingness to stand and trade. In his next fight, at WEC 51 against George Roop, he never looked for a takedown and was brutally knocked out with a head kick in the second round. That seems to have been enough for him to ditch the "Zombie Style" in favor of fresh tactics. Do you support Sung Jung in his decision? Have at it, Maniacs.

Not Bad Mileage For Running In 5th Gear
Posted 06 December 2012 - 08:28 PM
I am wondering if anyone else has noticed this happening on their coach. This is a 2003 Bounder 38N 300HP Cummins with Allison 6spd. The more I drive this coach the more I am learning, I almost have a 1000 miles on it since I bought it. By the way I like my Kroger fuel points my price for diesel was $3.296 lots better than it has been.

Running slower in 5th could yield better mileage than faster in 6th gear. If you use a Road Relay or similar reader you can adjust your driving on the fly for maximum mileage.

What you will find is that HP demand goes up rapidly as speed goes up. Yes, you could actually be getting better MPG at lower speed in a lower gear.

Charlie Sheen got me thinking, when he let everyone know that "duh, every day i am winning!" Usually people that have to say that are losing, they just don't know it yet. Charlie has the one problem that always turns you into a loser: CRACK. Usually you end up in the morgue or first you lose all your money then you end up in the morgue. It can be a slow process, especially if you are rich, but unless you can admit you are currently losing (and get real help) the outcome is inevitable. Charlie, in the end, may end up being one of the biggest losers of all time.
Lebron recently said "my haters still have the same problems and i have a great life." He has to be very insecure just like Charlie to say that. "The Decision" was a real loser act, there is no disagreement there. Lebron is very money motivated and wants to be the first billionaire athlete, without at least 3 rings it won't happen. Couple the Decision with no rings and Lebron is not a top winner either!
These two jokers motivated me to post the most successful athletes and entertainers, obviously it is highly subjective. I would consider the Chief to be one of the most successful because he turned $2,500, passion and perseverance into the one of (or the most if you only go by SB rings) the most successful football franchises. But this is a list of athletes and entertainers, not business owners.
Oprah is definitely the most successful
woman entertainer, not only is she beloved but her net worth is approaching $3 billion, unbelievable! but since i am male, my post will focus on the male athletes and entertainers who are truly winning.
Ok, this kills me but Tom Brady has to be on top or near the top. He has this princess, giselle who is the most successful model in the world. she is a rock star in brazil and has established joint ventures to market lines of sandals (sold 25mm pair last year), makeup and intimates. it's no wonder that she and tom were recently seen at Carnaval, it just increases her popularity and sales of her sandals and panties (although i think a lot of women in brazil wear only thongs or nothing at all:)). the economy in brazil is booming, currently she is making between $50-100mm/yr and already has a roughly $250-350 net worth. she is very likely to become a billionaire because of her ownership in these ventures vs. licensing that most celebrities do. so tom is a kept man, with a net worth of maybe $50-100mm it is no wonder they put him on the NFL lawsuit. he has no need for $, even in a divorce he will probably be better off than he is now. that is crazy! say what you want but tom is definitely not playing for the money, in fact he is probably the best off current NFL player.
i guess he's not a bad looking guy either at least in this pic. He and giselle are building a new $20mm 22,000 sq. ft.castle and he backs it up with three SB rings. His only downside is he really can't dance (dances like a white man as they say), plus i think he may have taken the metrosexual thing a little too far. But even us haters have to recognize he is definitely winning.
but think about other super famous entertainers and athletes. all the ones i list are worth in the $500mm (except billy joel who got ripped off so he is only worth $160mm (only?) and paul mccartney is a real billionaire) range so money should never be a problem. but many of them have real kinks in their armour.
magic johson - very successful businessman and 5 NBA rings but has the AIDS. if he has any sense he should never divorce cookie b/c the dating pool is tiny (even for rich superstars) if you have the AIDS. i take that back, there is a big dating pool amongs crack and meth addicts, not necessarily a good pool just a big pool:)
tiger woods - 14 majors but went thru a big infidelity scandal and now his health is in question. not to mention there is this guy Rory who will stop tiger from beating jack's records. maybe i am putting the nail in tiger's coffin too soon but it sure doesn't look good. i don't think tiger will be happy unless he gets 19 major wins, from the beginning it has always been his life's goal.
michael jordan - owns NBA team and is partners in the Air Jordan Nike line. he is divorced and it is rumored he has a gambling problem and i don't doubt it at all. he just has so much money he can cover it up, not like barkley who was outed by a vegas lawsuit. but jordan is the probably the best competitor of our time, he would just not allow his team to lose. maybe the only athlete on par or above brady. it's a toss up, bobcats and air jordan vs. giselle, too close to call. although the right answer might be that pretty soon giselle could buy air jordan and the bobcats.
jay-z - married to beyonce which puts him right there with brady. owns the 40/40 club and a piece of the nj nets and has constantly re-invented himself to stay relevant. brilliant at collaboration with artists like alicia keys and mr. hudson. his only recent controversy is that in 2004 he dumped his original partner in Rock-a-Fella, Damon Dash. it was probably a great decision, dash has the biggest individual tax liens in NY & NJ totalling almost $25mm but for a rapper, disbanding your crew is worse than divorce.
howard stern - what can you say, has to be the biggest overachiever in the history of entertainment. did get divorced from his college sweetheart, Alison, and is now married to this native pittsburgh beauty 20 years his junior, beth ofstrosky:
talk about beauty and the beast, it's amazing how stern made something of nothing, what else can you say, he is winning for sure.
paul mccartney - along with lennon wrote many of the greatest songs of our time. even at 70 looks pretty good and appears to have his voice and health. lost his true north when linda died and he married that one-legged girl, Heather Mills, huge mistake, apparently she is a real psycho. Now Paul is engaged to this rich, super successful 51 year old beauty, Nancy Shevell, appears to be a very good move as everyone, including his kids, only have nice things to say about her.
i end with Billy Joel b/c I think he is the greatest American storyteller of our era (although smokey and springsteen are prolific writers, no one has the diversity and lyrical style of joel). Two of Billy's songs were recently in Hangover II (Downeaster Alexa and Allentown). But Joel truly gets no respect, in Rolling Stones 500 Best Songs of All Time, Joel is only on there once at 421 with Piano Man (that has to be the biggest screw job ever). Billy Joel's personal life has also been a mess, he had a drinking problem and suffered from severe depression, once attempting suicide by drinking furniture polish, ouch! Back in the 70's his first manager, his ex brother-in-law, stole all his dough. Probably be worth a billion if he had the advisors Paul McCartney did. Lucky to own his song catalogue (bought back and gifted to him by CBS Producer Walter Yetnikoff) because that is probably the bulk of his $160mm net worth.
But Joel is truly a paradox, wrote some of the most unbelievable love songs but is divorced 3X. His life has always been about extremes (and that's the title to one of his songs). After his first divorce, he met Christie Brinkley, Elle MacPherson (a.k.a "the body") and Whitney Houston in the Caribbean b/c he wa messing around on a piano in a lobby. It just goes to show the power of song, he dated both Elle (he was 34 and she was 19) and Christie at the same time. Would have had Whitney too but she was only 16 at the time. i guess there is no bigger turn-on for a woman than to be serenaded by love songs written for her. NONE! you could have 10 SB rings and brad pitt looks BUT fat bald joel age 62 could get any girl with his pen and piano, not even a real challenge!
In the end, winning is a state of mind and all the money and fame can't buy it. If you are truly insecure all the talent and money in the world can't cover it up. It's not a comparison game either, you will never be happy if you try to use money, athletic performance or fame as a yardstick. Life is a lot like golf, you are really not competing with everyone else, you are competing with yourself. Like golf, life is a hard game, and you rarely break par no matter how hard you try.
This post was for fun but it is more evidence that we really need FA to begin:)
