Last month, Obie guessed that his Ponzi caseload would hit about one per month, but he later increased that prediction to two a month. With six such cases in the first 45 days of the year, it looks to be an easy target...
...students, nor does it outline any mechanism of action to take when an offense occurs. On the other hand, the undergraduate handbook outlines the course of action for students in instances of discrimination. This discrepancy becomes apparent when workers, such as the two in Winthrop/Lowell, feel like the target of discrimination but have no guaranteed recourse of action...
...recent Pentagon-funded reports have questioned the Navy's carrier-centric strategy. The vessel's huge cost and half-century life span give potential foes like China a "static target" to threaten, a 2007 report said.

Gates' final target is on land. The Army is getting $160 billion to outfit a third of its force with a complex network of electronically linked vehicles, beginning in 2015.

Even if only half of them want to find a spouse, that's a nice fat target for the media to aim at in a market where such uniformity of desire is rare. So while dating and mating instructions are probably as old as Australopithecus (Tip 1: "Stand up straighter"), right now the advice-o-meter is running hot. When a coupling manual turned movie--He's Just Not That Into You--is a box-office hit, something...
