I was actually surprised at how well I did. Only reason I got the one about Yahoo was a local radio show was talking about her last week, so I just looked her up to see who she was.

I knew it wasn't Lindsey Vonn, because I'm in Colorado and she's in the news all the time.

13 for 13 because I read FR virtually every day.

Ok, everyone's edification

The average Life expectancy in Nigeria is 47 years
42.3% of the population is between 0–14 years of age

This is Google Glass

This is the Dow Graph

I scored 13 out of 13, which isn’t bad for this old dog.

10 out of 13.
Had I gone with my gut on 2 of the 3 I missed, I would have done better.

13 of 13, but I admit I guessed on the Yahoo CEO. Lindsey Vonn and the Texas pro-abortion politician all pretty decent looking women.
The population graph is scary - it is being replicated all over the third world while the Europeon population shrinks.

13/13 with some guessing. Yahoo CEO was in the news for eliminating telecommuting IIRC, & I remembered the biggest drop in the market was in 09 even though I was out by then. Unfortunately, I’ve stayed out for the big upswing.

HAH! 13 of 13! I must say I owe ALL the credit to a multi-daily dose of Free Republic and Rush more often than not!!

FR IS the best place for worldwide news gathering!

FR is like homeschooling for news.

Haven’t watched a network news broadcast in years.
