...benefits, marriage is not??a gift certificate for good health. For one thing, it's fattening. According to a CDC study of health and marriage, married people, while least likely to be physically inactive, are most likely to be overweight or obese. Married men, in particular, seem to pack on the pounds after they say their vows: they are nearly 20% more likely to be overweight or obese than are men who have never married--perhaps because they simply have someone to sit down to dinner with each night or perhaps because the often empty refrigerator of a onetime bachelor...
...herself has exploited this asset, maintained through rigorous daily workouts. She is the brand's best model, the jet-setter seen on the red carpet and at all the best parties who looks spectacularly good in her Jimmy Choos, and has always believed that legions of women?famous or not???would want what she wants...
Military officers are not??generally made for the limelight.

During her tenure, women's positions, once largely secretarial, expanded to include jobs in air-traffic control and intelligence...

The problem started many years ago, when junior high schools were dropped in favor of middle schools. We need to return to having junior high serve Grades 7 through 9 and high school serve Grades 10 through 12. Sixth-graders are not ready for middle school; they are still immature. And ninth-graders struggling with the transition into their teen years face similar problems. Let's reconsider how we group students...
...have not??seen one positive story on either Afghanistan or Iraq, and now you've run the story about poor old Noorzai. The guy was obviously smart enough to reach out to the U.S. before the war in an effort to maintain his power and keep the drugs flowing. When are we going to hear about American triumphs? Where are the stories about our brave warriors? I see nothing but reports about terrorists like the duped warlord Noorzai...
