In minor ongoing looming disaster news, my current BMI is 27, considered "mildly overweight" by the chart which does not take muscularity or body fat percentage into consideration. However:
I have a lower BMI than 68% of males aged 45-59 in the USA. I have a higher BMI than 70% of males aged 45-59 in the world. 35.7% of all U.S. adults are obese. Nearly 20% of children are obese. Obesity is defined as having a BMI of 30 or higher. Think about how appalling the numbers are for a moment with the coming onslaught of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease states, and secondary complications. Get up and move faster because universal healthcare or not - it will bankrupt the economy. (data from CDC and BBC)

Iran says captures two U.S.-made miniature surveillance drones
http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/...9010EV20130102 At least for the RQ170, they endded up showing it to prove their claim.

They are trying to keep up with their jackpot claim of the RQ170, which is a major intelligence loss for the US. It is a image maintenance thing they are trying to do. What is worrying is the actual HUMINT and real operations that might be given a green light, conducted by CIA-Mossad and the MEK. China may be pulled in like the Korean War. Quote:

Especially places where they used only electricity for heating (no gas), there are practically no trees or game animals for 25 miles to use as fuel and food once the canned and dry goods stocks run out.

One thing should be considered though, is that despite the extremely high gun ownership rate in Switzerland by international standards, their murder rate is significantly lower than the United Kingdom. Quote:
-Other group of white people take marginal island from them -First group of white people think this is an unprecedented travesty and demand land back even centuries later I don't much care for the particulars of what happened on the Falklands. It was centuries ago, England has squatters rights and has demonstrated the ability to defend it, the current local yokels wanna stay with the UK and the Argentinians are bloody hypocrites if they think they're not a country for the exact same reasons.
