...Haworth discovered a purpose. "It took me a while, but I finally found something that someone my size can be very good at," says Haworth. "It's an individual and straightforward sport: either you can lift the weight or you can't." Haworth uses her speed (she can run the 40-yd. dash in an NFL-like 5 sec.) and her power (she can jump an NBA-like 34 in.) to routinely, and repeatedly, lift a groaning bar with a couple hundred pounds.

While not precluding "humanitarian intervention," GOP thinkers say these need to be based on a sound political strategy and a deep understanding of the underlying political conflict in each situation, and with an exit strategy that doesn...
...This is known as the "opt in/opt out" debate - advertisers and privacy watchdogs both know that the average computer user generally won't lift their clicking finger to keep profiling information out of advertisers' hands. Which makes them even less likely to "opt in" to information collection...
