Abraham Michael "A.M." Rosenthal (May 2, 1922 – May 10, 2006), born in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada, was a New York Times executive editor (1977–88) and columnist (1987–1999) and New York Daily News columnist (1999–2004). He joined the New York Times in 1943 and remained there for 56 years, to 1999. Rosenthal won a Pulitzer Prize in 1960 for international reporting. As an editor at the newspaper, Rosenthal oversaw the coverage of a number of major news stories including the Vietnam war, the Pentagon Papers, and the Watergate scandal. Together with Catherine A. Fitzpatrick, he was the first westerner to visit a Soviet GULAG camp in 1988. His son, Andrew Rosenthal is the editorial page editor of the New York Times.
Rosenthal was born on May 2, 1922, in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario to a family of Jewish descent. His father was a farmer named Harry Shipiatsky who emigrated to Canada from Belarus in the 1890s and changed his name to Rosenthal. His father worked as a fur trapper and trader around Hudson Bay, where he met and married Sarah Dickstein.
Yohan Blake (born 26 December 1989), is a Jamaican sprinter of the 100-metre and 200-metre sprint races. He won a gold medal at the 100 m at the 2011 world championships as the youngest 100 m world champion ever, and a silver medal in the 2012 Olympic Games in London in the 100 m and 200 m races for the Jamaican team. He is known by the nickname "The Beast".
Blake's 100 m personal best of 9.69 seconds makes him the equal second fastest man ever with Tyson Gay after Usain Bolt. His personal best for the 200 m (19.26 seconds) is the second fastest ever after Bolt. He holds the national junior record for the 100 metres, and was formerly the youngest sprinter to have broken the 10-second barrier (at 19 years, 196 days).
He is coached by Glen Mills. His training partners are Usain Bolt and Daniel Bailey.
Blake attended St. Jago High School in Spanish Town where his first sporting love was cricket. Blake was a fast bowler, and it was only after the school Principal saw how quickly he ran to the wicket that he was urged to try sprinting.
"A.M." by Psychefunkapus
Woke up this mornin', I couldn't find the doorknob
I tripped over the bedpost and I hit my head
I got a revelation, it struck me as funny
My baby wasn't near me, and neither was my money!
Is this what I live for?
Cheap thrills and deceit
but what the HELL is that smell?
I think I'll go brush my teeth!
I feel a little moisture in between my Jockeys
I jump into the shower and I cleanse myself
I feel a little hungry, so I eat a bowl of cornflakes
I turn on the network, oh shit! There's been another earthquake!!
Is this what I live for?
To go down with the ship?
It's almost time for the Jetsons
I think I'll go smoke that ...
Sally wants to be a rich girl
She wants a part on TV
Sally wants to be a rich girl
she don't want to depend on me
But I gave her all my love and I gave her all my time
And ever since she walked out the door the girl is always on my mind
I never had enough to buy her pearls or even diamond rings
I never had any money to buy her any of those things
I need the money
To make her happy
I need the money
To make her mine
I need the money
To make her happy
I need the money
To make her mine
Sally wants to be a rich girl
she don't want to depend on me
Sally wants to be a rich girl
When the earth stopped shakin' I heard the doorbell ringin'
I looked out through the peephole and it was only the mailman
He wants to give me a letter, it wasn't very funny
My rich uncle just croaked, but he left me all that money!
Is this what I live for?
To live life like a king?
Hey - that might be Sally on the phone right now -
I think I'll just let it ring!!
Oh Mighty Jesus!
Sally girl was walkin' down the street without a care
walkin' home with any guy she meets anywhere
Besides, your little game really wasn't very clever
next time, Sally, you should think it out better!
Oh honey!
All that money!
Oh honey!
All that money!
I'm rich!
I'm rich!
