...Bombarded by doomsday obesity messages, however, people may expect that, sooner or later, the trend of rising weight will start chipping into average life expectancy. But here's another evidentiary problem for those beating the obesity drum: life expectancy in Australia is slated to go on increasing for at least another half-century. According to ABS projections, an average 50-year-old in 2051 will live to age 87; an average woman to 89. These represent increases of six and 4.5 years respectively on projections for the current crop of 50-year-olds. So how should we reconcile apparently being...

Osteen's relentlessly upbeat television sermons had helped Adams, 49, get through the hard times, and now Adams was expecting the smiling, Texas-twanged 43-year-old to help boost him back toward success. And Osteen did. Inspired by the preacher's insistence that one of God's top priorities is to shower blessings on Christians in this lifetime--and by the corollary assumption that one of the worst things a person can do is to expect anything less--Adams marched into Gullo Ford in Conroe looking for work.
