If America Has The Most Advanced Medicine, Why Are We Ranked 72nd In Being Well?

America is the ‘richest country in the world’…yet it ranks 72nd in overall quality of health and wellness. That’s 72nd. Stories of America’s plummeting health and wellness are in the news every day. Heart disease, cancer, obesity, and auto-immune diseases such as arthritis, diabetes, and asthma – which alone affects over 50 million people in the U.S. every year.

Can I Import A Slightly Different European Version Of A Car (for Example A Diesel Bmw) To America?

I realize there are emissions/safety restrictions on cars and that’s why you can’t bring in a Peugeot 206 or a Lada, but would there be any problem bringing in a car that is simply a slightly different version of a car that already sell in the US. For example, would it be possible to bring in an Audi RS4 or BMW M5 wagon, even though only the sedan versions are available in the US? What about a manual transmission Mercedes?

Was And Is This The America You And Your Ancestors Fought/fight For ?

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) – If sky-high executive pay at publicly traded companies gives you vertigo, you might want to read this sitting down.
In 2004, the ratio of average CEO pay to the average pay of a production (i.e., non-management) worker was 431-to-1, up from 301-to-1 in 2003, according to “Executive Excess,” an annual report released Tuesday by the liberal research groups United for a Fair Economy and the Institute for Policy Studies.
That’s not the highest ever. In 2001, the ratio of CEO-to-worker pay hit a peak of 525-to-1.
Still, it’s quite a leap year over year, and it ranks on the high end historically. In 1990, for instance, CEOs made about 107 times more than the average worker, while in 1982, the average CEO made only 42 times more.
The cumulative pay of the top 10 highest paid CEOs in the past 15 years totaled $11.7 billion.
And though the specific individuals in each of those annual top 10 lists changed year to year, many bosses did pretty well throughout the entire period. Citigroup’s Sandy Weill, for example, has made $1.1 billion since 1990.
“Pay” in this instance refers to total compensation – including salary, bonuses, restricted stock awards, payouts on long-term incentives and the value of options exercised during the year.
The report also compares the growth in average CEO pay – which was $11.8 million in 2004 – to the growth in the minimum wage. Had the minimum wage risen as fast as CEO compensation since 1990, the researchers calculated, it would now be $23.03 an hour instead of just $5.15. And the average production worker would be making $110,126 a year instead of $27,460http://money.cnn.com/2005/08/26/news/eco…

Most people will have read the recent reports of how Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates has had his personal net worth soar over 100 billion dollars and then drop down to 55 billion. He certainly knows how to make (and lose) money.
(Note: This article was written in 1998, Bill’s Fortunes have dropped a touch since then.)
Consider that he made this money in the 25 years or so since Microsoft was founded in 1975. If you presume that he has worked 14 hours a day on every business day of the year since then, that means he’s been making money at a staggering million dollars per hour, around $300 per second. http://www.templetons.com/brad/billg.htm…

About one-third of the adult homeless population have served their country in the Armed Services. Current population estimates suggest that about 154,000 veterans (male and female) are homeless on any given night and perhaps twice as many experience homelessness at some point during the course of a year. Many other veterans are considered near homeless or at risk because of their poverty, lack of support from family and friends, and dismal living conditions in cheap hotels or in overcrowded or substandard housing.http://www1.va.gov/homeless/page.cfm?pg=…
