With Bruce Wasserstein gone, family receives unforgiving media attention

Lazard CEO Bruce Wasserstein has died at the age of 61. One of Wall Street's legends, Bruce disappears from the investment arena at the time when the Washington administration does its best to transform America in a State-owned economy.

Media wolves hurried to digg out the details on Wendy Wasserstein's death, the brilliant playwright who was Bruce's sister and passed away in 2006.

Bruce Wasserstein had married early this year, for the fourth time, to Angela Chao (his official girlfriend), an executive of her family's shipping company.

Never seen before pictures with Angela Chao Wasserstein leaked earlier today and were promptly shared publicly (click here for direct link).

M&A bankers, lawyers and investors took the stage today to quote and remember the legendary dealmaker.

Amateur pics of Omer Bhatti meeting Michael Jackson leaked on the Internet?

Did anyone else see the pics before they were pulled from the site?
It seems the Huffington Post knew about the leaked pics showing Omer Bhatti with Michael Jackson but they are hard to find - remember the Erin Andrews peephole video?
One of my Twitter followers gave me this web address and I think it is correct since that server seems to be hammered with requests for download. Twits about Omer Bhatti's mother, Omer Bhatti dancing, Omer Bhatti as Michael Jacksons son, crazy assumptions about the alleged Michael Jacksons love child flood the Twitter timeline all day.

I am heading to the train station now, but will try to log on again once I get to the hotel, try to download the Omer Bhatti amateur pics again and post them here.

Amanda Rodrigues pictures capture Internet fame

Amanda Carine Barbosa Rodrigues, the wife of former boxing champion Arturo Gatti, was detained as a suspect by Brazilian authorities Sunday following his death at a well known seaside resort. Gatti's body was found early Saturday in a hotel room at Dorisol, in the Porto de Galinhas resort in northeastern Brazil.
Porto de Galinhas is one of the most famous beaches in Brazil, a popular vacation spot for domestic travelers.


Amanda Carine Barbosa Rodrigues, who has a 1-year-old son with Gatti, is a former stripper. She has been charged in Gatti's death.
The sexy wife of the dead boxer wore sunglasses that did much to disguise her expression while walking towards the police car under the eyes of reporters and passers-by.


The police confirmed that the Canadian boxer was apparently strangled with the strap of a purse. Rodrigues, a Brazilian national, could not explain how she spent nearly 10 hours in the room without noticing that the former junior welterweight champion was already dead.

The police are currently investigating and more information will probably be available shortly.

Effects And Safety

Author: Andrew Wroblewski

Testimonies to men's insecurities about sexual performance are the long list of advertisements of products regarding male enlargement. But do any of these techniques really work?

Penis extenders, a non-prescription product, have not received validity from professionals. Most are a waste of money, and some are downright dangerous, doctors' say. Males who need enhancement should open up with this problem because performance problems sometimes act as an early warning signal for serious health problems and doctors can prescribe the right products.

As men age, a condition called Atherosclerosis, in which fatty deposits build up inside arteries, restricts blood flow to the penis and cause erection difficulties. If not treated, this could lead to erectile dysfunction or ED. For men with ED who are at risk of heart disease, prescribing Viagra or any of its relatives isn't enough. These men should be also be controlling their weight and cholesterol level, limiting their alcohol intake, and quitting smoking. Evidence shows that these changes in themselves can have a positive effect on sexual function.

The use of penis enlargers as male enhancement product are said to be valid by some websites that endorse such products. Males who have been interviewed stand witness to the effectivity of penis extenders as enlargement and enhancement products for male. They attest that when they started using these products, their penises grew two to three inches in length and an inch in girth. These males also said that these products did not, in any way affect their health and that the safety of these male enlargement products should not be questioned.

Insecure of your body? Try human enhancement technology that will surely boost your self-esteem and become a better person as well.

Tongkat Ali Extract (Eurycoma longfolia)

Tongkat Ali contains the super oxide dimutase, an anti-oxidant enzyme that inhibits free radical damage in the body and also boosts energy. The bioactive Glygopeptide compounds in Tongkatali also increases testosterone and decreases SHBG levels to improve sexual performance and stamina. Finally, Tongakat Ali improves sperm count, size and motility.

What Is Impotence?

This blog is hosted by Google (Do no harm!) so I used them to look for definitions of Big I.

Here are a few that I found, with the corresponding sources:

- (im-po-tense) not being able to have or keep an erection of the penis (www.mesothelioma-line.com/articles/glossary/)

- powerlessness: the quality of lacking strength or power; being weak and feeble
- an inability (usually of the male animal) to copulate (wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn)

- erectile dysfunction (en.wiktionary.org/wiki/impotence)

- the inability to achieve an erection, and/or dissatisfaction with the size, rigidity, and/or duration of erections (www.cure4diabetes.org/Glossary.htm)

- Mother Nature's way of saying, "No Hard Feelings." (www.springboard4health.com/notebook/dict_i.html) a.o.

There are many others, but we have a clear image now. What I found interesting is the large number of definitions where authors jump to classification of its origins - either blaming medical conditions (diabetes, cardiovascular leakage, nerve damage) or a horde of various factors like drug use, age or psychological factors. While there are probably mountains of research data backing causation and correlation, they all speak of what happens AFTER the condition is achieved and recognized as described. So I am suggesting we delay the conclusion and taking all this mambo-jambo seriously and go through a rigorous troubleshooting process - a no-nonsense, step by step, helping to identify a problem before suggesting a possible solution approach.

The following posts will focus on:

• How To Overcome Embarrassement through Frankness and Humour
• Where To Look for Help
• What Can You Safely Do on Your Own
• When To See a Doctor

Until then, I welcome you to the conversation - let me know what you think of the topic, what would you like to read about and everything else that crosses your mind, preferably on the topic.

Who Repairs the RepairMen?

For years, men have relied on printed manuals for guidance, advice and troubleshooting tips for everything. We don't find anything unusual when every car, computer or kitchen appliance arrives together with its own "Instructions Manual". But who do you turn to when you need to work on the male body, which is a piece of design and engineering in itself? You can go see a GP or a specialist, but just like with your car, what triggers such visits? When do you know it's time and when are you simply running out of windshield wash?

MenFunction is not written by a physician. You cannot use the information presented here to diagnose yourself or prescribe any treatment even with over-the-counter remedies. But you can find some reliable information I pieced together, discuss the topic and generally feel safe that you are doing your part: following the maintenance plan, reading the manual and discussing with other owners. After all, you feel comfortable doing this for your car - why not for your body then?
