Tiger – My Hero
Haven’t you ever heard the line, “You can’t change the spots on a leopard”? Well you can’t change the stripes on a tiger either. When your name is Tiger Woods and you have a billion dollars, you can’t help but have it all including hot, I mean really hot, babes. Tiger is (or was) the world’s number one athlete. What woman wouldn’t want a shot at that? If his wife, who can do just fine without him, ever comes back, I will lose all faith in her and in a lot of women. Tiger set a high standard and he let us down in a big way. You don’t scar an image like the one Tiger had. When you’re Tiger Woods, image is everything. Golf has gone downhill since Tiger Woods quit playing. It’s a shame that such a great game has to depend on one player. No one else has the charisma and style that Woods has on the course. He looks like a natural. He made me want to play golf and I hate the game. I’m sure he will come back to golf, but it will take awhile for him to be accepted. The people will have to see if he has really changed. And, of course, they will see a changed person – for awhile. But, before you know it he will be right back to the old Tiger with the same old stripes, sleeping with every beautiful babe in the world. And why you may ask? The answer is simple, because he can. He’s Tiger Woods. You can’t have that much money and fame and not sleep around. It’s sex with beautiful women, for crying out loud. It’s not an addiction, it’s a privilege. Wouldn’t you love to have Tiger’s problem? Tiger is still my hero, but now, in a completely different way. Tiger took the place of Hugh Hefner. In fact Hugh Hefner called Tiger – to congratulate him.

The Facts on Health Care Reform
AOL News
(March 17) -- What will health care reform do to health spending, premiums, deficits and so on?
With details about the final bill still being worked out and fresh cost estimates flying back and forth on Capitol Hill, the exact effects of health care reform are still not entirely clear. Click for rest of story.
"The National Sleep Foundation reports that the number of people reporting sleep problems has increased 13% since 2001. In the past eight years, the number of Americans who sleep less than six hours a night jumped from 13% to 20%, and those who reported sleeping eight hours or more dropped from 38% to 28%.
Successful organizations know that healthy employees are a competitive edge - more productive, have greater energy and cost about $3400 less each year in health care benefits. That’s why it is a smart business decision to help employees develop healthier lifestyle habits.

Can Stress Be Good for Your Career?
By Liz Lynch
In the new book The Right Fight: How Great Leaders Use Healthy Conflict to Drive Performance, Innovation, and Value, authors Saj-Nicole Joni and Damon Beyer state that contrary to popular belief, happy employees aren't necessarily the most driven or best employees, and that tension, channeled properly, can create breakthrough performance. Joni and Beyer cite a range of case studies from Campbell Soup, GE, Dove and Microsoft to demonstrate how a certain amount of struggle and stress energizes organizations and individuals.
Looking for a job, or even trying to keep one in this uncertain economy can also put a great deal of stress on individuals, but learning how to direct it in productive ways may actually improve your results.
Here are key principles from The Right Fight that you can apply to your own career advancement to help turn any stress and tension you're feeling into a winning outcome:

To all the civic organizations who receive this newsletter I am currently booking May, June, and parts of July to speak at civic organizations. I have two new speeches; ‘How to Live s Healthier, Happier and Longer Life with Laughter’ and ‘5 Principles to Get from Where You are to Where You Need to Be’ which explains how I went from being homeless to one of the top 100 touring club comedians in America. Both speeches are from true life experiences and quite entertaining. These two speeches took 25-years to complete and they’re still going. I would love to do one of them for your organization for free. Email me at: bc@worldwidebc.com and lets set a date. I just agreed to speak to the Raleigh Rotary Club in May. I look forward to speaking to your club.
Utterly unbelievable !
You have got to watch this! How did this guy ever make it into Congress, let alone keep his seat?
He makes Rep Maxine Waters and former Rep Cynthia McKinney look like a pair of Rhodes Scholars. Absolutely astounding lack of intelligence and speaking ability. Was he drunk or stoned when this was taking place?
Check out some of the other clips on this goof that are offered on YouTube. Do a Google search and you may well find that this could be a stellar moment of clarity for him. Click
