LONDON (AP) — Britain's unemployment rate is falling sharply as the economy continues to strengthen, but wage growth continues to lag, official figures showed Wednesday.
The Office for National Statistics said the jobless rate dropped to 6.6 percent in the three months ending in April from 7.2 percent in the period ending in January.
Some 72.9 percent of the population aged 16 to 64 was working, still just slightly less than before the 2008-2009 economic downturn brought on by the global financial crisis. There were 780,000 more people working than a year earlier.
Pay including bonuses inched up by just 0.7 percent from a year earlier — well below the inflation rate of 1.8 percent. Chris Williamson, the chief economist of Markit, says the weak growth and the "'cost of living crisis' remains the Achilles Heel of the economic recovery."
He expects wage growth to accelerate as the labor market tightens. How long that will take is likely to affect how early interest rates rise.
Economist Samuel Tombs of Capital Economics says the drop in the unemployment rate theoretically brings the prospect of an interest rate rise by the Bank of England closer, since the rate is below the bank's forecast of 6.7 percent.
But he says there's still "considerable slack" in the market.

AC Milan midfielder Sulley Muntari is eagerly anticipating his comeback after spending the majority of the 2012-13 campaign so far on the sidelines because of injuries.
The 28-year-old missed the opening months of the season due to a knee problem, and picked up calf and thigh injuries after resuming match action in December.
But the Ghana international is now raring to play again, and is determined to help Milan climb in the table.
"I cannot wait to come back. I have been out of action for a long time, just watching my team-mates and now it is time for me to join the first team again, to help out and do well," the Ghanaian midfielder told Milan Channel.
"I came back quickly from the knee injury but then had problems with my calf and thigh.
"I was a little angry with myself but I know my time will come and when it does hopefully I will keep my place and I really hope to help the team."
Muntari has made just two Serie A appearances this season.

Mansfield is getting another big box retailer. Sam's Club plans to open a Mansfield location by the end of the year, creating approximately 175 jobs.
The building will occupy approximately 128,000 square feet at the southeast corner of U.S. Highway 287 and FM 157 in an existing shopping center and near a Lowe's. Within a few hundred yards is the standard Target SuperCenter, Home Depot and Best Buy commonly found in suburban areas.
"We've experienced some growth and the market is right for it," said Richard Nevins, Mansfield Economic Development Corp. spokesman. "We've had a lot of retail come into the market. Mansfield is just the right place to be."
Sam's Club spokesman Mark Scott said in a news release that the company has listened to its members and determined "this is an excellent location."
Mansfield Sam's Club will be the 22nd in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Sam's, headquartered in Bentonville, Ark., currently has 75 locations in Texas.
Sam's also plans to open locations in La Marque, Harker Heights, Houston, Abilene, and Corpus Christi this year. La Marque will open March 21, Scott said.

When the Mumford & Sons show was held two weeks ago at the West Side Tennis Club, many park visitors said traffic patterns along Burns Street shut down walking routes for neighbors, many of whom are seniors.
They're calling it the Forest Hills Concert Fiasco and have created a website (www.foresthillsconcertfiasco.org) dedicated to addressing the problem so the same long walk, which many say took them nearly a mile around the stadium, is cleared up for next year.
Neil Burton, a founder of the website and frequenter of Samuel Picker Square, said the promoters, police and community board got this one wrong when they closed down the block to foot traffic.
"Our issue is the access of the people in the neighborhood, and letting them go about their daily lives without being inconvenienced," Burton said.
Burton said the site is there for anyone to comment on issues with the concerts and to open a line of communication with the club.
Brian Deutch has lived in the neighborhood for 30 years and frequently visits the park. He even recently painted the benches green to breathe some new life into the small square.
Deutch said while he was walking home along Burns Street, back from the LIRR before the show, he was turned away by police and forced to walk to Exeter Street, around the stadium and back down 69th Avenue to get home.
"They said the only ones who could go through here were concert goers with a ticket," he said.
According to Duetch, police told residents prior to the concert that they would be checking identification and allowing residents through the barricades to their homes near the park.
"All they said was you just had to show your I.D.," Duetch explained. "At one point, they told us they were going to freeze the park, but then they said we could sit here and there was no problem."
Larry Rein has lived near the stadium for 36 years and remembers seeing Bette Midler there years ago. Like Deutch, he said is happy to see concerts back at the club.
"We always had a good time," Rein said looking back on the concerts in years past. "The neighbors use to sell their parking spots."
Both Rein and Deutch say they are still welcoming of concerts in the future, however they hope the club takes their concerns into consideration for next time.
"There was no problem with the security, but it was just the way they restricted the neighbors of the block and the park here," he said.

By Steve Steinberg
The most common complaint that I hear from prospective clients is this: "I work out three times a week, but my body never changes."
When I ask them what they do in the gym, I almost always know what I'm going to hear. They generally do two or three circuits of machine-based strength training and then 30 minutes on a treadmill or elliptical machine. And they've been doing this same workout three times a week... since the Dawn of Man.
"Your body has gotten bored at that point," says Steve Zim, author of three best-selling fitness books and owner of ATighterU in Culver City, California. "It's like reading a book. How many times can you read the same book before you find yourself just mindlessly flipping the pages? If you're doing the same workout again and again, your body is just flipping the pages."
It isn't all that hard to tweak your workout a bit to rekindle the challenge and get your body responding and changing. Heck, you're already working long and hard, but if you work out smarter, you can make real gains that you'll see and feel both in the gym and out.
Good: Lose The Machines
Machines are a great way to isolate muscle groups, but to make the most of your workout, you want to involve as many body parts as you can per exercise. The more muscles that are involved, the more calories you're burning -- and the more muscle you're building.
Look at a typical back exercise. Using the seated row machine, you're sitting down and being held in place by a chest pad. You're working the muscles of the back, shoulders and biceps, but your legs, core and everything else are on vacation. Compare that to a bent-over dumbbell row. Now, in addition to your back, shoulders and biceps, other muscles are getting strong and burning calories while they stabilize your body during the movement. It's strengthening these stabilizers -- and not just isolating and strengthening the muscles of the back -- that'll keep you injury-free when you actually have to do some real-life heavy lifting.
Better: Do Full-Body Movements
A lot of folks look at their gym visits as either an "upper-body day" or a "lower-body day." (Or, for the more micromanaging type, "chest day," "back day" or "legs day.") The problem is that very few human movements outside the gym involve single muscle groups. And if you play any sort of sport... or ski... or spelunk, and aren't teaching your body parts how to play with each other, you're simply not going to perform at an optimal level.
From a trainer's viewpoint, if you're only doing either upper-body or lower-body, you're also missing out on some insanely cool, challenging and beneficial exercises. Try doing lunges with a light weight in each hand. When you step forward with your right leg into a lunge, find your balance, then raise your right arm out to the side until it's parallel to the floor. Lower it, find your balance again, and then step back up to a standing position. Alternate left-sided lunges and raises with right-sided lunges and raises. It's a combination legs-and-shoulders strengthening movement that also works your core, coordination and balance. Do at least one full-body workout per week.
Best: Combine Strength Training And Cardio
Most people spend about 30 minutes in the weight room and another 30 minutes on a piece of cardio equipment. To make the most of your time at the gym and to keep your body firing on all cylinders, alternate strength-training exercises with short (but intense) bouts of cardio, with as little rest as possible in between. "You'll keep your heart rate up the entire time and be able to get an amazing workout in about half the time it usually takes," says Zim.
This combination will also keep your body warm and loose throughout your entire workout, and that's one of the keys to avoiding injury. "Once you get injured, you're not working out," says Zim. "You're done. And your New Year's resolution is over."
Start by alternating 30 seconds of strength training (either with weights or by simply doing bodyweight movements) and one minute of cardio (cardio machine, jump rope, jumping jacks or shadow boxing). See if you can keep it up for 30 minutes. Eventually, work your way up to doing one minute of strength training and two minutes of hard cardio.

Taylor Swift Tops DoSomething.org's 'Top 20 Celebs Gone Good' List
Taylor Swift isn't just topping the music charts — she's also topping charitable lists too!
The 23-year-old musician took the number one spot on DoSomething.org's Top 20 Celebs Gone Good list, which highlights the impact of celebrities reaching an audience with their cause.
This year alone, Taylor received the Ripple of Hope Award and donated $4 million to the Country Hall of Fame Museum.
The criteria stipulated giving money wasn't enough to count as creating impact; instead, a celebrity needed to take an action others could emulate, like writing articles, building houses, or founding an organization. The second annual "Fan Favorite," as voted on by fans on Facebook, is Demi Lovato.

TOKYO (AP) — Japanese musician Ryuichi Sakamoto, who shared an Oscar for Bernardo Bertolucci's "The Last Emperor" score, has been diagnosed with throat cancer and has canceled his upcoming performances to focus on his health.
"I promise to return after a full recovery," Sakamoto, 62, said Thursday on his official website.
He apologized for bowing out of his upcoming events, saying he would not be able to attend the First Sapporo International Art Festival, which starts later this month. He said he was also "deeply upset" at having to cancel a July 30 concert for the Park Hyatt Tokyo's 20th anniversary, where he had planned to unveil new material.
At "the end of June, I was diagnosed with throat cancer," he said on his website. "I have decided to take time off of work in order to concentrate on treating it. I deeply regret causing so many people considerable inconvenience."
Hideaki Tamamushi, spokesman at Avex Group, which manages Sakamoto, said that in early June the musician went for a checkup after feeling a strange sensation in his throat, and the diagnosis came toward the end of the month. He said the company has been deluged with calls asking about Sakamoto. Tamamushi declined to release further details about his condition.
Sakamoto's daughter and musician Miu Sakamoto said on her Twitter account that her father was going to stay for a while in the U.S., where he is based.
"I would like my father to take a good rest after working so hard all the time. I hope he will recover completely and return to playing his great music with all his heart," she tweeted.
Sakamoto, born in Tokyo, rose to fame as a member of the electronic pop band Yellow Magic Orchestra in the 1970s and 1980s. He has been based in New York in recent years, although he visits Japan often.
Since the March 2011 tsunami set off a nuclear catastrophe in Japan, Sakamoto has been one of the most vocal celebrities against nuclear power along with Nobel-winning writer Kenzaburo Oe and visual artist Yoshitomo Nara.
Sakamoto, who also acted in and wrote the score for the 1983 film "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence," directed by Nagisa Oshima, has appeared at anti-nuclear protests and urged Japan to reflect on what he called the mistake of Fukushima.
In a July 2012 rally, he got up on stage and read from notes on an iPhone, warning Japan not to risk people's lives for electricity.
"Life is more important than money," he said in Japanese, then added in English, "Keeping silent after Fukushima is barbaric."

This is a law respecting the establishment of religion as an alternative to the establishment of a jail. This should be quite clear cut violation.Except it isn't in the minds of believers. One of those thing I would if I were a judge, tell every Christian they have to go to a Wiccan preistess or a Mullah to hammer home why this the constitution is correct and they are wrong.
Well, I'd rather go to jail where my mind is free but my body is not than to church where my body is free but my mind is not.
True, in church all you have to do is watch out for the priest.
What if you're not a Christian? Do you get to go to a Mosque if Muslim, or a Synagogue for Jews, or etc., for everyone else? Or, would they be forced to go to a good wholesome Christian church?-Nam
Well, it's unconstitutional for the main reason but even moreso if Christianity is forced on non-Christians.
Who wants to open up a church of Satan with me in Bay Minette?

Today's Meditation
Read Hebrews 12:1-3
Since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us.
-Hebrews 12:1 (NRSV)
When I ran track in high school, I was often afraid that my performance would not measure up. I feared humiliation and mocking. This worsened after we lost by one point to a team that our coach particularly wanted to beat. He spent the bus ride home disparaging us with violent and profane language. Later, I talked this over with my grandfather, a retired coach. His advice was simply to give all I had and be at peace with that.
During our next home meet, I resolved to conquer my fears and to give my best. Rather than focus on the race as I should have, I focused on contending with these fears. As I rounded my last turn, however, I glanced into the stands and saw my family loudly cheering me on. Seeing them inspired me so much that I forgot my fears and finished with my best time ever!
The Bible speaks to us of a cloud of witnesses who surround us, helping us to forget the weight of our fears and the shame of sin so that we can finish the race. Let us change our focus from the things that bind us and instead switch our attention to the support God offers as we run the race.
Mack McKinney
(Texas, USA)
Prayer: Source of our strength, help us to do what we can and to leave the rest with you. Amen.
Thought for the Day: Focusing on God can free us from our fears and doubts.

Special Collections and Archives
Abraham Kaplan Collection
Abraham Kaplan Collection
Collection Number:
Iona Kaplan, James Manley
Linear feet: 25.5; Number of containers: 17 boxes
Abraham Kaplan
ca. 1987
Physical Location:
California State Polytechnic University, Pomona: University Library Special Collections, Bldg 15, room 4228A
Abraham Kaplan (1918-1993) was a philosopher, an author and an educator. His collection contains correspondence, articles, lectures, speeches, book manuscripts, subject files, notes, and printed matter pertaining to his writings and academic career.
Abraham Kaplan (1918-1993) was an American philosopher with a long and distinguished career. He was born June 11, 1918 to parents Joseph J. (a Rabbi) and Chava (Lerner) Kaplan in Odessa, Ukraine. Kaplan and his family immigrated to the United States in 1923 and he became a naturalized citizen in 1930. A student of philosopher Bertrand Russell, he graduated from the College of St. Thomas in 1937, did graduate study at the University of Chicago from 1937-40, and received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1942. He began his teaching career as an assistant professor for New York University from 1940-45. He then went on to the University of California, Los Angeles to become an assistant professor from 1946-49, an associate professor from 1949-52, a professor of philosophy from 1952-63, and the chair of the department from 1952-65. He also taught at the University of Michigan from 1962-72 before he moved to the University of Haifa in Israel, where he became professor emeritus in 1978. Besides giving many lectures across the globe, Kaplan held visiting distinguished professorships at over twelve universities including the California Institute of Technology, Harvard University, and California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. He devoted much of his time to organizations such as the American Philosophical Association (president of Pacific Division 1947-58) and the Association for Jewish Philosophy. He married Iona Judith Wax (a child psychologist) November 17, 1939 and had two children: Karen Eva Kaplan Diskin and Jessica Aryia Kaplan Symonds.
Kaplan traveled to and studied the cultures and beliefs of India, Israel, and Japan. As he himself put it: "I must identify myself: by training a positivist, by inclination a pragmatist, in temperament a mystic, in practice a democrat; my faith Jewish, educated by Catholics, an habitual Protestant; born in Europe, raised in the Midwest, hardened in the East and softened once more in California; psychoanalyzed, naturalized, denatured — in short, an American academician." He was also widely recognized for his endeavors — he was named one of the top ten teachers in the United States by Time magazine in 1966 and was both a Guggenheim (1945-46) and a Rockefeller (1957-58) Fellow. His written works include New World of Philosophy, American Ethics and Public Policy, The Conduct of Inquiry, and In Pursuit of Wisdom: The Scope of Philosophy. He died of a heart attack at the age of 75 on June 19, 1993 in Los Angeles.
The range of the Abraham Kaplan Collection covers the earliest to the latest of his published works, lectures and workshops given around the world, and many unpublished writings. Items include manuscripts (both published and unpublished works), offprints of published articles, publisher's review copies, bound volumes, correspondence, travel files, research, newsclippings, lecture notes, personal files, and cassette and reel-to-reel recordings of his lectures.
The collection arrived in no discernable order and was rearranged into the following series:
Subject File
The Subject File series comprises the largest portion of the collection, containing Kaplan's personal and professional files. Most of the files in this series were compiled and titled by Kaplan himself. Of particular interest is a series of files that he grouped into "Lectures;" each file contains typed and handwritten pages filled with Kaplan's knowledge of a particular subject, delivered in lectures to students around the world. Kaplan used much of the material here as a resource to compile his written works and to broaden his knowledge of world religions and cultures. Of special interest is a file titled "Terrorism," which contains articles and research findings that Kaplan had gathered on the subject. Other areas within the series include disciplines of philosophy, world history, and religion (with an emphasis on Judaism throughout). In addition to files originating with Kaplan are two other areas of interest: "News Articles/Publications About Kaplan" and "Interviews with Kaplan," containing news clippings, journals, periodicals, photocopies, and programs detailing the philosopher's career and ideology. Kaplan's "Professional Correspondence" is also contained here, being letters and memorabilia from colleagues, friends and students.
The Writings series contains Kaplan's extensive collection of handwritten and typed lectures, essays, reviews, articles, and book manuscripts. Works are shown in various stages of progress, from cross-out and white-out editing to the publisher's review copy. Some files contain materials related to the compilation or publication of a work; i.e., handwritten notes, offprints of articles used as reference, and even publishers' rejection notices. Titles of significance in this series include Kaplan's unpublished works On Being Human: Notes for the Examined Life; The Mind of Israel; and The God Story, which was co-written with his wife Iona Kaplan. Of special interest is the title Freedom and Terror: Reason and Unreason in Politics, which contains two chapters about terrorism. One of the chapters, The Psychodynamics of Terrorism, was published in a journal and can be found in the Publications series; the other chapter, The Ethics of Terrorism, can be found as an additional file in this series. Also included are a several published works that gained special attention: (In) Pursuit of Wisdom: The Scope of Philosophy is one example. As in the Subject File series, the Writings series covers a large array of topics from metaphysics to religion, with a strong emphasis on the Hebrew culture. Many files in the Writings series can be cross-referenced with their published counterparts in the Publications series.
Located in the Publications series are all of the published materials that arrived with Kaplan Collection. Formats include journal offprints/reprints, entire journals, hardbound books, and photocopies of journals/magazines. Kaplan's works are presented in a variety of languages including German, Portuguese, French, and Hebrew. One important title in this series is Kaplan's first book The New World of Philosophy. Also of interest is a file of book reviews written by Kaplan and two Encyclopedia Americana volumes that contain Kaplan's contributions for BODY AND MIND and CAUSE. Of special interest is an article in which Kaplan delves into the topic of terrorism: The Psychodynamics of Terrorism. Of particular note to those in the field of library information science is Kaplan's article The Age of the Symbol: a Philosophy of Library Education from v.34, no.4 of Library Quarterly, in which he succinctly redefines the function of the library as it relates to the age of information. Many files in the Publications series can be cross-referenced with their unpublished counterparts in the Writings series.
The Recordings series contains cassette tapes and 1/4" reel-to-reel recordings of many lectures given by Kaplan in the years from 1954 to 1989. Lectures were given at high school assemblies, radio conferences, workshops, conferences and seminars. Also included is a four-part cassette recording of Abraham Kaplan's oral history (no transcript is available at this time).
Series 1: Subject File
Boxes 1-4
Arranged alphabetically.
Most of the files in this series were organized and titled by Kaplan himself; however, they arrived in no discernible order and were arranged alphabetically so that they might be searchable. The processor created files in instances where a clear subject could be gleaned from the documents. Contents of files created by Kaplan were in no way disturbed, separated, or otherwise altered.
Box 1: Academic — Groups
Box 2: Hist. Esthetics — Lectures-Zionism
Box 3: Literary Criticism — Probability
Box 4: Professional Correspondence — Zen
Series 2: Writings
Boxes 5-8
Arranged alphabetically by title.
This series is of Kaplan's writings: handwritten and word-processed; published and unpublished; finished and unfinished; submitted to many publishers or to none at all. Most of the typewritten works arrived in mass quantities; three copies of each were accessioned and the rest were reserved for donation or other possible uses. The documents were arranged into alphabetical order for ease in finding a work by title. In some cases Kaplan kept files accompanying his works, whether they were research or rejection notices. These files are placed before their corresponding manuscripts in the collection. As in the Subject File Series, many manuscripts arrived arranged in files by Kaplan, and were not necessarily arranged by specific title. In some instances, files are titled by the subject of the manuscript and not by the title of the work. Rather than disturb the files created by Kaplan, they were arranged alphabetically by the title that he gave them. All other files are arranged by the title of the manuscript.
Box 5: Aesop Revisited — Freedom and Terror
Box 6: Freedom and Terror — Management MSS & WPI
Box 7: Management and the Metaphysics of Culture — Pardon the Expression
Box 8: Pardon the Expression — Values in Decision-Making
Series 3: Publications
Boxes 9-10
Arranged alphabetically.
Many of Kaplan's publications arrived in bundles of copies of offprints; three copies of each were accessioned and the rest were discarded or reserved for donation or other possible uses. Also filed in the collection are journal issues containing his articles; books by Kaplan and books in which his writings appear; his works in translation; and photocopies of his publications. In a few instances, the publisher and/or date of publication are unknown. For a complete container listing of this series, see below under "Selective Container Listing."
Box 9: (Serials) Aesthetics of the Popular Arts — Whose Just Rights
Box 10: (Monographs) Conduta Na Pesquisa — Theorien der Kunst
Series 4: Recordings
Box 11

Londonderry suspect facing robbery, burglary chargesBy JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
June 22. 2014 10:28PM
BRENTWOOD — A 29-year-old Derry man is facing charges that he allegedly sneaked into a Londonderry woman's home, stuck a gun in her face and demanded money.
Prosecutors say Joshua Magee demanded to be shown a safe inside the Wilson Road home, but the woman said she only had $20 in cash.
A Rockingham County grand jury indicted Magee on charges of robbery, criminal restraint and burglary.
He could face 10 to 20 years in state prison if he is convicted.
A neighbor of the woman called police when she saw a man, later identified by police as Magee, walking toward her neighbor's house at 14 Wilson Road.
"The caller heard a woman screaming, and then a male subject was seen running from the house, wearing a mask, goggles and Wal-Mart shopping bags on his feet," Londonderry police Officer Randy Duguay said in a sworn affidavit.
Magee was seen tucking something into his waistband and left the neighborhood driving a gray Saturn, police said.
The homeowner told police that she and her 1 ½-year-old son were inside the home when the man entered. She was in an upstairs bedroom and her son was downstairs in the living room, police said.
When the woman did not hear her son, "she went downstairs to check on him," Duguay said in the affidavit, and saw the child . run around the corner from the kitchen, crying, police said.
She went to check "and that's when she saw a subject holding a pistol pointed at her," according to Duguay.
The man quickly went rummaging through the house before he fled. Magee was arrested by Derry police a short time later.
His clothing matched the description of witnesses, police said.
He was found to have a loaded handgun in his possession, police said.

Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: Vitamin D and Calcium
Current as of: October 10, 2017
Find More Information on the Government of BC Website
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) increases your child's risk of osteoporosis in two ways. Pain and swelling can cause your child to be less active, which leads to loss of bone mass. And long-term corticosteroid treatment for JIA also depletes bone mass.
To minimize osteoporosis during treatment, experts recommend adequate daily intake of vitamin D and calcium.
Foods high in calcium include dairy products such as milk, cheese, and yogurt; calcium-fortified orange juice; and broccoli. Vitamin D is found in dairy products. Being out in sunlight for at least 15 minutes each day without sunscreen will also help with vitamin D intake. Your body makes vitamin D when it's exposed to sunlight.
Food-based sources of vitamins and minerals are better than dietary supplements, which are not as fully absorbed by the body. If your child has little appetite for food, though, your doctor may recommend dietary supplements.

Another View -- Steven H. Biondolillo: Why the IOC should reconsider its wrestling decisionSTEVEN H. BIONDOLILLO
February 14. 2013 8:12PM
Like many, my initial reaction to learning that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) had decided to drop the sport of wrestling from the 2020 Olympic Games was laughter. Was this a joke? How could the IOC eliminate from Olympic competition men's and women's wrestling? The IOC may as well have dropped track and field and boxing. As every student of sport knows, wrestling is one of the five original sports of both the ancient and modern Olympic Games. In fact, ancient Greek history teaches us that the most heralded athletes of the ancient games were the wrestlers.
Cited by the IOC as rationale for its decision is the "declining popularity" of the sport. The IOC really needs to check its sources and facts. In the United States, wrestling has never ranked lower than the fifth most-practiced sport at the high school level, and its recent losses at the NCAA level are reversing: In the past few years an entire national collegiate club wrestling universe has taken root, and a dozen Division II and III colleges have introduced the sport. Furthermore, in terms of participation, youth wrestling for both boys and girls is at a historic high.
I have two words for the International Olympic Committee: mixed martial arts and United States Navy SEALS. (OK, that's more than two words, but you get the drift.) Other than the four major sports, mixed martial arts may be the most popular televised athletic spectacle in the world. In fact, it resembles almost precisely pankration, which is the form of wrestling that was contested in the Ancient Olympic Games. It turns out that virtually all mixed martial arts contestants, as well as the most successful of the sport's practitioners, are, first and foremost, wrestlers.
But most importantly, consider this reality: We live in very unstable times and depend on the deployment of special forces to protect American interests here and abroad, and to keep Americans safe. And now this fact: The US Navy SEALS proactively recruit candidates disproportionately from the sport of wrestling. Why? Because it will always take the leanest, toughest and most accountable individuals in the world to execute the world's most difficult and dangerous work assignments.
And, lastly, this bit of trivia: Until World War II, the one sport practiced more than any other by men who would become President of the United States (including Washington, Jackson, Lincoln, Grant, Taylor, Arthur, Taft, T. Roosevelt, and Coolidge) was wrestling.
I offer this data because the IOC has advanced as rationale for maintaining the sport of modern pentathlon in the 2020 Olympic Games the "fact" that modern pentathlon will enable the Olympic Games to retain some of its "rich feel of the past." About this chestnut I have two things to say: Modern pentathlon was part of neither the ancient Olympic Games nor the initial palette of sports in the modern games. So much for the "rich feel of the past" argument. Furthermore, the last time I checked, no more than a dozen people on all of earth practiced it.
The fact that the sport of wrestling was politically outmuscled by modern pentathlon's legions of supporters has provided an unprecedented geopolitical opportunity for the United States, Russia, Georgia, Armenia, Chechnya, Poland, Bulgaria, Sweden, Iran, Japan, Turkey and Cuba to mount forces against their common enemy: the IOC. You see, these countries are among the leading practitioners of wrestling - mankind's oldest sport. But the most important thing to contemplate now is that wrestling is not just mankind's oldest sport. It is, in fact, the very metaphor for sport itself. How is it, then, that the IOC - the standard bearer of all sport - is killing, in the Olympic Games, sport itself? Hence, I end where I began: Are they joking?

Jaime Bayly's Mega TV studio is a sparse, alien world. A pair of solitary white chairs sits on a slightly elevated stage. Two freshly poured glasses of water, sweating under the spotlights, are placed on a tiny table. The talk show star's last name is spelled out in giant, glowing letters in the background, their neon colors changing during commercial breaks.
It's Thursday, December 2, 13 episodes into Bayly's triumphant return to the Spanish-language television station he left more than a year ago. María Antonieta Collins, a respected Mexican journalist and tonight's guest, sits just off camera. She shifts her legs underneath a high table and nervously looks around the cavernous Hialeah warehouse. Sporting violet eye shadow, pearls, and a tight blue dress, the perky former anchorwoman knows anything can happen on the show, which Bayly insists on airing live.
Suddenly, upbeat jazz music blares from loudspeakers above. A small audience of 30 or so mostly Cuban Americans claps on cue as the 45-year-old saunters out from behind a black velvet curtain. Dressed in a baggy suit, with shaggy black hair and a trademark grin, Bayly looks like an oversized child. His slightly asymmetric eyes shine out smugly from behind frameless glasses as he begins a quipping Spanish-language monologue in the manner of his idol, David Letterman.
Jaime Bayly
But unlike Letterman, he discusses all the details of his personal life. He starts by describing the cradle-robbing details of his relationship with his 22-year-old fiancé, Silvia Núñez del Arco: "For the past five months, I haven't been able to have sex with her. But you have to show solidarity with your girlfriend while she's pregnant. She can't drink, so now I don't drink either. She can't smoke cigarettes so I've given them up too. She doesn't feel like having sex, so I don't have sex with her. I have sex with other women."
When the monologue ends, Collins takes her seat on stage. "I am in shock, Jaime," she says. "Just imagine if someday someone shows these videos to your son. He's going to be tremendously hurt and confused."
"By then I'll be dead," Bayly responds. "Besides, I hope my son isn't so solemn and pompous not to have a sense of humor."
"Behave yourself, Jaime," Collins scolds.
"When I make jokes, I'm not misbehaving. I'm trying to make people laugh," Bayly shoots back. "I'm fulfilling the principal role of television." After a tense 15-minute interview, the stage lights fade for a commercial. Bayly and Collins stand up and kiss on the cheek, but their microphones remain on. "Don't come here just to complain about my behavior," Bayly says angrily over the outro music. "And don't be so damn boring."
Bayly is a man of many parts. He's both Letterman and Charlie Rose; comedian and serious interviewer; straight and gay; shamelessly self-promoting and relentlessly self-deprecating.
After a one-and-a-half-year hiatus, he has returned to Miami screens with his snarky and unsparing show — simply entitled Bayly — that premiered on Mega TV in November. He is the LeBron James of the late-night Latino TV circuit: both fiercely hated and widely admired. In his native Peru, he is a political force. After years of failed forays into politics in that country — including a botched 2009 bid for presidency — he has emerged as a deciding force in recent elections. Last September, he almost single-handedly destroyed a conservative candidate's campaign for mayor of Lima by leaking an audiotape in which the political aspirant said she didn't give a damn about the office. And a series of scandalous revelations stemming from a dinner conversation between Bayly and current president Alan García have thrown this year's presidential election into disarray. With 13 novels, a syndicated newspaper column, and prime real estate atop every tabloid in the country, Bayly is the fifth most powerful person in Peru according to the magazine Peru Económico.
When New Times first approached Bayly, he declined an interview but suggested a good scene to start this story: "You can say in the article that we met, that you came to my house, that we spent some very pleasurable time naked in the swimming pool, and we drank a bottle of vodka each. You can color the interview with a little fiction."
But Bayly's life already reads like fiction: He's a rich boy who ran away from home, nearly destroyed himself with drugs, flirted with suicide, and came out of the closet with a best-selling book that made him one of the most recognizable faces in Peru. He has hosted a dozen popular TV programs, but has also received death threats and broken off contact with nearly all his family and friends.
"People are always shocked to hear what Jaime has to say," says close friend María Celeste Arrarás, the host of Telemundo's nightly news show Al Rojo Vivo. "At the same time, they admire that he's got the guts to vent his secrets and tear open his life every night on TV."
It's hard to overestimate the grasp Bayly has on the Peruvian psyche. Imagine a child of privilege like Bobby Kennedy Jr., but openly bisexual, prone to drug abuse, dying of mysterious liver problems, and intent on exposing all of his family's darkest secrets. Now envision giving him free rein on TV every night.
Jaime Bayly Letts was born in Lima in February 1965, the third of ten children. His father, Jaime Bayly Llona, attended college in London but returned to Peru to work as an executive at his father's bank. Later, Grandfather Bayly gave his son's family a mansion with domestic servants and vast manicured gardens in a tony suburb of Lima called Los Cóndores. It was about as distant a setting as you could find from the cramped, dirty callejones of downtown Lima where little Jaime would eventually find himself. But the beautiful landscaping hid a divided family. Jaime's father and grandfather shared a frigid relationship.
Jaime's family mostly declined to speak with New Times for this article. For his part, the talk show host remembers his childhood as a bitter standoff with his distant father. They interacted, he recalls, mostly when Jaime Sr. would punish little Jaime for no apparent reason. After any impropriety, the father would call the boy into the bedroom and order him to strip naked. Then he would lash his backside with the end of a leather belt until it bled.
"It wasn't until years later when I had grown up that I remembered that and thought: 'What the fuck? That is a very strange way of punishing your son,' " Bayly recalls. "My father had a comfortable, even luxurious life, but demons and phantoms were eating at his soul."
Bayly's mother, Doris Letts, came from an equally wealthy and widely respected family. Her brother, Roberto, became a millionaire mine owner. But Letts never went to college, instead marrying Jaime Sr. when she was 21 years old. She became a stay-at-home mother but was almost as aloof as her husband. A member of Opus Dei, an ultraconservative Catholic organization, she would come to Jaime's room and pray with him every morning before school. When she suffered a miscarriage while Jaime was a toddler, she grew more fanatically Christian.
By age 13, Jaime could barely stand to be around his dad. One night, fearing another brutal beating, he sneaked into his parents' room and grabbed a handful of gold necklaces and crucifixes. Then he shoved them into a backpack along with some extra clothes and slipped out. He made his way to downtown Lima, where he walked the dimly lit streets and pawned his mother's jewelry for a fraction of its worth. Then he visited several seedy hotels that denied him boarding, until he finally bribed a young woman to give him a key.
The cash lasted only a week, and he returned home. But the boy escaped twice more until, finally, his mother sent him to live with her parents across town when Bayly was 15 years old.
Around the same time, Letts arranged for him to work after school at Lima's second-largest daily newspaper, La Prensa. The next three years were a golden age for both journalism in Peru and Bayly. In 1980, much of the press was returned to private ownership after more than a decade of military dictatorship. Staffs expanded, and Bayly quickly graduated from filing clippings to writing sports and economics stories. But the teen was best when picking apart Peruvian politicians. By age 17, he had his own weekly political column called "Banderillas" — named for the darts bullfighters thrust into their oversized victims.
"From the moment he arrived, he was spectacular," remembers Federico Salazar, a colleague at La Prensa. The boy was quiet and respectful with colleagues, but a fearless reporter who once jumped into a famous economist's car to get an exclusive interview. In the evenings, as editors prepared proofs of the morning's papers, Salazar, Bayly, and the rest of the newsroom would go out for drinks. Those were fleeting moments of true happiness before fame closed in around him.
After a year of "Banderillas," the upstart journalist received a call from Genaro Delgado Parker, the owner of Canal 5, one of Lima's most popular TV stations. He asked the then 18-year-old to appear as a panelist on a nightly program called Pulse. Bayly was perfect: tall and handsome, brilliant and irreverent. He soon had his own nightly show, and strangers began to recognize him on the street. They called him "el niño terrible."
With fame came money, drugs, and casual sex with both men and women, Bayly recalls. Soon, he was snorting so much Peruvian blow that sleep wouldn't come for two or three days. His habit worsened when he also took a TV job in the Dominican Republic, jetting frantically back and forth between Lima and Santo Domingo every two weeks to tape the two shows.
Finally, after a Sunday spent coked out of his mind watching Italian soccer in his Lima apartment, Bayly dialed his parents' house just before midnight. His father answered.
"Dad, I... I'm thinking of killing myself," Bayly recalls saying while staring out over his balcony.
"This is no time to be calling the house," his father answered before hanging up.
"That's when I realized that I was actually doing exactly what my father wanted me to do: destroy myself," Bayly says. "I decided I wasn't going to be his drug-addicted son."
Just as Bayly was kicking his cocaine habit, a previously unknown math professor named Alberto Fujimori won the 1990 presidential election in Peru. For two years, Bayly ripped the populist on national television. But when Fujimori suddenly dissolved Peru's congress, courts, and constitution in 1992, a friend warned Bayly that his name was on a list of journalists who were already being rounded up and thrown in jail. The fearless journalist caught the first flight to Madrid.
He spent the next two years in Spain writing a novel, Don't Tell Anyone, a thinly veiled account of his life growing up gay and abused by his father. When the main character, Joaquín Camino, discovers his bisexuality, his upper-crust family and chauvinist father deny it; they even hire a hooker for him. But Joaquín drops out of school, tries cocaine, becomes a journalist, and eventually moves to Miami.
Don't Tell Anyone is still widely considered Bayly's best novel. It's a bawdy but angry book that reveals a racist, homophobic, and status-obsessed family threatened by a son's homosexuality just as Peru was shaken by popular unrest. It's also a window into Bayly's extreme loneliness and me-versus-the-world mentality. When his family members learned of the book, they pleaded with him not to publish it.
"That was the breaking point," he says. "Nobody was friendly or supportive. They were totally against me and at war with me."
After two years in Madrid with the novel still unpublished, Bayly ran out of money. He returned to TV in Lima, where he met a pretty, blond Peruvian-American named Sandra Masías at a nightclub. They moved to Washington, D.C., together, and, with Masías pregnant and Bayly's tourist visa expiring, soon married. But the domestic tranquility existed only on paper. Bayly insisted on seeing other women... and men.
"She tried to make me a straight man," Bayly recalls of Masías. "But human nature, or my nature, is being in love with somebody but also allowing yourself the freedom to have sex with someone else if that is what is good for you. I've never believed in monogamy."
Still, his family provided newfound stability to Bayly's life. Don't Tell Anyone was finally published in 1994 and quickly became a bestseller in Spain, Peru, and much of Latin America. Of course, the tales of infidelity, incest, and drug abuse didn't sit well with Bayly's family members. Many still don't speak to him, even though emergency liver surgery in 2009 nearly killed him.
Standing in the plush lobby of Hotel Portón in Bogotá, Felipe Muñoz doesn't look like the head of the Colombian secret police. Instead, with dark, close-cut hair and chubby cheeks, the 40-plus-year-old looks like any one of the thousands of crisply suited bankers strolling the city's bustling streets. But Muñoz flashes his badge at Bayly and in hushed tones says he has a personal message from President Álvaro Uribe. "We believe that Hugo Chávez has hired hit men to kill you," Muñoz warns Bayly, referring to the bombastic Venezuelan president whom Bayly had lambasted incessantly since 1998. "For your protection, I advise you to leave Colombia at once."
"I'm dying in six months," Bayly replies, citing his liver problems. "So if Chávez kills me before then, he'll be doing me a great service. He'll save me some money on physicians."
It was early 2010, and Bayly was covering the Colombian presidential elections for Bogotá-based station NTN. He had jokingly dedicated his first episode in Colombia to Chávez, and he didn't buy the threat.
"I sensed that he was lying to me," Bayly says. "I was supporting the opposition candidate... So that was the reason the chief of the secret police tried to scare me."
Whether or not the plot to kill Bayly was real, it marked a turning point. The talk show host had transformed from a flippant provocateur into a serious political player. The road there started in 1996, when he secured a job as an anchor for 24-hour news network CBS Telenoticias. Hundreds of thousands of people across the hemisphere began to recognize his handsome face.
Then in 2000, when Fujimori resigned in disgrace after scandals involving human rights abuses and bribery, Bayly left CBS and returned to Peru. It was an important moment for journalism as the country shook off a decade of censorship. And Bayly once more took full advantage. He started a new show on network Frecuencia Latina called El Francotirador ("The Sniper"). On it, he ridiculed the various candidates poised to succeed Fujimori. He also pushed the envelope of good taste, accusing front-runner Alejandro Toledo of refusing to recognize an illegitimate daughter. When he began to advocate policies including gay marriage and legalization of drugs, his tirades took on the character of stump speeches.
During the presidential election of 2001, Bayly ran a high-profile campaign urging voters to cast blank, protest votes. "The result was terrible," says Peruvian TV critic Patricia Salinas. "People were throwing eggs at him in the street." Even worse, only three percent of Peruvians cast a protest vote in the decisive second round. Toledo won comfortably.
"Bayly has always been very popular here but never loved," Salinas adds. "He achieves what he wants to — grabs people's attention, makes himself known — but he doesn't win over people. The proof is that for years he never convinced people to support a single initiative of his."
Soon, Bayly grew tired of working in the Peruvian TV industry. From 2003 to 2005, he focused on writing, cranking out several more sex- and scandal-filled novels. Then in 2006, he began a three-year stint on Mega TV in Miami. The show, Bayly, drew steady ratings, but serious health problems and an on-air fight with the station's vice president led Bayly to quit in 2009. After recovering at his friend Shakira's house in Uruguay, Bayly moved back to Lima and announced he would run for president.
At first, he was courted by the right-wing party Cambio Radical. But when he outlined his libertarian platform — ending state subsidies to the Catholic Church, legalizing abortion and drugs, and dissolving the armed forces — and then criticized Cambio Radical's candidate for mayor of Lima, the party dropped him. As an independent, Bayly initially polled well, pulling in eight percent of votes. But he lacked the hundreds of thousands of signatures required to run. Without a party or a real campaign office, people soon understood that his candidacy was mostly a publicity stunt. His poll numbers fell to a few percentage points. By 2010, he had dropped his bid for office.
"I think he took the joke as far as he could," says Fernando Vivas, a TV critic for Peruvian paper El Comercio. "But actually running for president was a magnificent public relations stunt by someone who has never lost his ability to command an audience on television."
Since dropping out of the race, Bayly has won back popularity — or at least legitimacy — in Peru with a series of devastating political reports on TV. This past September, only a few weeks before the October 3 mayoral election, he aired an audiotape of conservative candidate Lourdes Flores saying her critics could "stick the mayor's office up my ass." Bayly was questioned in court over how he obtained the tapes, but the damage to Flores was done: She lost to the candidate Bayly endorsed, center-leftist Susana Villarán.
Then Bayly picked a fight with Peru's current president, García, who had been elected for a second time after weathering past accusations of human rights abuses and embezzlement. Shortly after the September election, "the sniper" set his sights on García in a column that ran in newspaper Peru21. This past December 6, Bayly described a dinner with García in which the president urged him to run for office. When Bayly protested that the job paid too little, García allegedly said: "Don't be an idiot. The money arrives on its own." In the column, Bayly also claimed García's comments were a "subtle and deceitful way of saying that the money arrives under the table, in suitcases, in bribes, and secret accounts."
According to Bayly, García also threatened to use the army to stop Ollanta Humala from taking office if the leftist candidate wins in 2011. García has since said his comments were taken out of context, but it's too late. This year's election has been thrown wide open.
"Those two revelations have caused a minor scandal here," says Vivas. "So even when he's not on TV in Peru anymore, he can stir things up with his newspaper columns. And his columns have started ringing much truer than in the past. Before they were more works of literature, but recently his columns have become more of a settling of personal accounts."
Jaime Bayly may be a good journalist, but he's a fickle friend and phlegmatic lover. He has built a career out of criticizing anyone and everyone, but he rarely forgives even small slights. The double standard stems from his romanticization of writing. Any good artist, he argues, is ultimately self-loathing and alone.
"I was always the kid at the party who still wasn't totally comfortable being there," he says. "A writer is always an outcast, a menace, a party pooper — the guy who is in the party but afterward tells all the secrets he saw or heard. That's my life."
The secrets Bayly has revealed haven't nailed just politicians. They've also hurt friends and family. In 2008, two years after his father died of cancer, Bayly interviewed his mother on El Francotirador in Peru. During the hour-long show, Letts admitted that her son's first novel had stung her and her family.
Bayly has also burned many in the journalism world. The night after his testy interview with María Antonieta Collins — who had appeared on his show several times before — Bayly called her "an annoying old lady" and said she had "the IQ of a bird, but not a crow because they are actually quite smart."
In September of 2008, Bayly was nearly fired from Mega TV after complaining on-air for 18 minutes about the temperature of the television studio. The signal was cut when he claimed the station was violating his contract. An on-air make-up with Mega TV chief executive Cynthia Hudson the next night saved his job. While some viewers took the fight as a publicity stunt, Bayly says the tension between the two contributed to his leaving the station in 2009. He returned only after Hudson moved to CNN en Español. (Hudson declined comment.)
Then there's José Manuel Rodríguez, a close friend at Mega who helped convince Bayly not to quit over the spat with Hudson. When Bayly was in the hospital for a week after undergoing an emergency liver operation in February 2009, he accused Rodríguez of trying to steal his show. Bayly now calls Rodríguez a "backstabber" and a "traitor" because he cohosted in Bayly's absence.
"[Rodríguez] thought I wasn't coming back, that I was going to die," Bayly claims bitterly. "He thought: This is my chance to become famous. Of course, he failed and they fired him because he did a lousy job. But it was painful for me to see someone who I consider a friend taking advantage of my bad health and trying to be me on TV.
"Fucking son of a bitch," Bayly adds. "He didn't even come to the hospital."
But Rodríguez says he did visit Bayly at the hospital, and that after the show — which he says he was asked to help with — he sent an email wishing Bayly a happy birthday and telling him what had happened. "That was the last time I spoke with him," Rodríguez says. "I never heard from him again. I never even had a chance to explain myself.... After that he sent emails to Cynthia and other people saying that I wasn't really his friend."
After an unsuccessful attempt at hosting his own show, Rodríguez left Mega and now works in advertising. "It was sad that after years of friendship he treated me like that," he says. "I wouldn't say I've forgiven him."
For years, Bayly balanced his job as provocateur with that of being a kind and dedicated father. Even after his 1997 divorce from Masías — the mother of his two teenage daughters, Camila and Paola — he would frequently fly to Lima to see his children and shower them with gifts.
But Bayly's relationship with Silvia Núñez del Arco has exploded his family life. Even for Bayly, who says he enjoys losing friends and making enemies, the feud has been painful. "Suddenly everything has turned upside down," he says. "When my daughters learned that I had a fiancée and that she was pregnant, they and their mother... declared cold war on me. They don't talk to me anymore, they don't answer my emails, they don't want to see me."
In late November, however, Bayly wrote a column entitled, "Señora, Please Move," in which he said he was tired of Masías's demands for more money and asked her and his daughters to leave his house in Lima. In the article he accused his ex-wife of calling Núñez a "prostitute" and a "mutt." He also claimed Camila, age 17, burned a gift from Núñez, took a photo and uploaded it onto Facebook with the caption: "Burn, shit." Then she pelted the young girlfriend's apartment with eggs and spray-painted "Silvia Whore" on the wall.
For her part, Masías says her ex-husband creates conflict only to write about it. Bayly is, she says, an introverted man who has created an extroverted persona, which has since come to dominate his life.
A pivotal moment for her — and others — came on November 15 when, during Bayly's first show on Mega, he kissed Núñez's four-month-pregnant belly. For Masías, it was yet another on-air slight from her ex-husband.
"Mr. Bayly is a public figure and writer," she emailed from Lima. "He has to entertain the public with his stories. I don't. In order to have a 'cold war,' you need two parties. There is no such war when my life and my daughters' lives have taken a different course than Mr. Bayly's... Nevertheless, he will always be the father of my children."
Bayly isn't so charitable: "She's going to be fucking ecstatic when I die. I think she will love to inherit part of my little wealth."
He also had a very public falling-out with Argentine boyfriend Luis Corbacho. The two met in a Buenos Aires hotel in 2002, when Corbacho first interviewed Bayly. They were lovers until last year. But when Corbacho learned Núñez was pregnant, he sent her an anonymous email that, according to Bayly's column, read: "The curse that you put on me is gone and now the spell is on you and your rotten belly, shitty whore."
In an article in El Comercio, Corbacho wrote that he regretted sending the email, but added that Bayly had never told him about his relationship with Núñez. He learned of it by reading her blog. And when Bayly kissed Núñez's belly on Mega, the Argentine flipped out. Just when he had calmed down, Bayly canceled plans for Corbacho to visit him in Miami this past December.
"I couldn't understand how Jaime could have become something so perverse and manipulative," he wrote. "Now I know that it's not his fault. I know that he is very sick and his deliriums come from a madness that has taken him over, the product of years of consuming exorbitant doses of sedatives, psychotropics, and antidepressants."
It's almost midnight on a Friday, but Jaime Bayly is still happily posing for photos with audience members after his show. When the last admirer leaves, he walks slowly from the empty set to a small, bare white room nearby. He thuds his large frame into a small plastic chair and slaps his monstrously large dress shoes on the carpet. An assistant brings him a fruit punch that stains his lips blood-red.
"I'm dying," he volunteers abruptly. "I'm 45 and I've had a good life. When I was young and living in Peru, I enjoyed life as much as I could. I did a lot of drugs. I loved cocaine. It was really good for me and good for my mind. Years later you pay the price."
According to Bayly, that price is that his lungs and liver now barely function. (He refuses to be much more specific.) He declines almost all interviews in order to save his voice for his show. He says his doctors have told him that without a liver transplant, he has less than two years to live.
"I don't see myself waiting for a new liver," he says. "You have to get on a list and wait for some teenager to get crushed in an accident, and then you get the liver. I think that lacks dignity. I believe a writer should live and die the way he was born, with his natural vital organs."
But Bayly is not going without one last fight. He ends most shows by holding up a copy of his newest novel, You Will Die Tomorrow. Like his 12 others, the novel is a thinly veiled take on his own life. Unlike the others, it's about revenge. It is the story of a writer who learns he has only a few months to live so he sets about murdering those who have wronged him.
"I just hope that I'll be able to survive my traitors," he says. Then he wanders off into one of his signature monologues. "I won't kill them, you know. I'd love to, but I'm too lazy. [Then again] it might be worth it. I'm really excited about trying that before leaving the scene. I would love to."

As always, it's hard to tell if he's serious. Maybe it doesn't even matter. After a long and scurrilous career, "the sniper" is going out guns blazing, one way or another. He doesn't regret his career: the scandals, the questionable ethics, the tabloid love affairs. In fact, he sees himself as one of the only honest men around.
"In Peru, people are so fucking cowardly about saying what they really think or what they really are. There is so much hypocrisy and moral duplicity: one public behavior and one private behavior. And I just hate that, you know? I've seen it all my life, especially among rich, well-educated people. They are such fucking liars.
"I've made my life, my books, my public demeanor a way of challenging that," he says.
He pauses, as if to weigh the careers he's ruined and friends or lovers lost. "I don't think that they will cry when I die, but I think that maybe they will miss me for a little while. Very few people cry when you die. If you get to five people crying over your death, hey, you've been a good man. But I don't think that I'm going to make that. If I die tomorrow, I think that, in the best case, three people are going to cry. Well, maybe my mom. But even if she cries, we're still stuck at fucking four."
