Math: How to Predict Who Will be Good at It

Soon EVERYBODY will be fat!
01-Oct-2008
According to a new study, roughly 86% of Americans age 18
and older may be overweight or obese by 2030 and related
health care costs would double every decade and could reach
$956.9 billion in 2030—1 of every 6 health care dollars spent.
The study also estimates that by 2022, about 80% of adults
may be overweight or obese, and 100% could be by 2048.
But the prevalence will reach 100% a in black women a
decade earlier—by 2034. Black girls and Mexican-American
boys are especially vulnerable: four in 10 may become
overweight or obese by 2030, and half by 2050.

three million Americans will pay an average of $2,000 more in

The Surge: What REALLY Happened
30-Sep-2008
In her diary of August 21st, Anne Strieber writes: "Lately
there's
been a great controversy about whether 'the surge'—which
sent 28,000 more troops into Iraq a year ago— has 'worked'
or not, with the US military and John McCain saying yes, it's
been effective and critics of the war saying no, it hasn't
been. But to me the whole question is a matter of words and
is thus completely meaningless [because] it's been proven
that when you put a cop on every corner,
you reduce crime, and that's what the surge is: the
military equivalent of a cop on every corner.” The trouble is,
you have to KEEP them there (meaning our troops can’t ever
come home). But now NASA satellites have REVEALED why
the surge seemed to work, and it had nothing to do with US
troops.

A Time of Extraordinary Peril

he writes: "There are rumors floating around the beltway that
the credit crisis was intentionally triggered by gigantic short

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared "that 'the

Army Units Deployed to US Mainland in Case of Unrest
25-Sep-2008
The 3rd Infantry Division's 1st Brigade Combat Team will be
deployed to the US mainland beginning on October 1 for 12
months. The brigade has spent 35 of the last 60 months in
Iraq helping restore essential services and keeping order. Are
they nervous that we may riot over the
current
financial crisis? The $700 billion bailout, spread out over 200
million voters, comes to $3.5 million per person. Or maybe it's
the fact that the current
war in Iraq
reminds a lot of people of the futility of the Vietnam war
(which was vigorously protested). A current film
called "The Battle in Seattle" may revive memories of that
