...www.hotornot.com HEARTLESS FUN Rate people's beauty on a scale of 1 to 10. Cruel, but shockingly fun. If you're really daring, submit your photo and see how hot you're not. Tip: swimsuits improve scores tenfold...
...Still, when it comes to safety, there's no denying that the industry has made great strides. The annual number of protective automatic shutdowns at each reactor, for instance, has fallen tenfold in the past 16 years, to 0.5. Exelon and Entergy have a lot more riding on their vast nuclear portfolios than an old-line utility with one measly reactor and a guaranteed rate of return. By pooling the expertise of a much larger, dedicated staff and spreading out the fixed costs, they've been able to reduce the length of refueling outages from 100 days...
...Bush and Rumsfeld to G.O.P. conservatives, but Washington insists the shield is not aimed at China anyway. "They may even double the number" of their missiles aimed at the U.S., Powell told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Other government arms experts believe a U.S. missile shield could trigger a tenfold increase in Chinese missiles aimed at the U.S. China's push for more weapons would act only as a spur to India, which might feel compelled to increase its arsenal to keep pace with its historical nemesis.

E sells for $10 and tranquilizer pills, which cost $4 in Hong Kong, can be bought for 10 cents. In the past three years, seizures of these drugs have risen tenfold.

But Hong Kong police concede they're unable to stop the flood of drugs from across...
Some 460,000 Americans are behind bars for drug offenses--a tenfold increase over 1980. (In 1996, referring to violent offenders, Walters said, "I am against the discussion...that there are too many people in jail.") Two weeks ago, in another sign that his heart is with the hard-liners, President Bush asked Congress to allocate $4.7 billion to the federal-prison system, projecting a 32% increase in inmates over the next five years, a jump largely fueled by mandatory drug sentences. Some $40 billion a year is already being spent by federal and state governments to prosecute and imprison...
