...ruling, the government could end up with exactly what it does not want: a precedent requiring it to provide access to captured terrorists being held overseas. This would surely lead to a greater use of military tribunals or the designation of defendants like Moussaoui as "enemy combatants," a label the government has given three men being held without recourse to lawyers or judicial review. Whichever way the ruling goes, the case will surely go to the Supreme Court...
...therefore it must be "all in your head." After doing my own research on the Internet, I learned that my problem has a name, fibromyalgia.

Watch out for the portion-size trap. For reasons known only to bureaucrats, the portion sizes provided in the U.S. government's food pyramid can differ dramatically from those indicated on a product's food label. (One set of figures is regulated by the Department of Agriculture, and the other, which appears on product labels, is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration.) A single serving of pasta is 1/2 cup (cooked) according to the USDA, 1 cup according to the FDA and at least 2 cups according to most families...
