Here is the math again for the ladies out there
[Read the article: Lose weight! Feel great! Well, maybe not]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]who don't get it:
Caloric Food intake per day < Caloric energy expenditure per day = weight loss.
Very simple formula. Try it, rather than wolfing down that krispy kreme or binging.

Title IX
[Read the article: Happy birthday, Title IX]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]is absolute bullshit. Why should the sports that generate revenue fund women's athletic endeavors no one gives 2 shits about? This is the same with the wnba, nobody watches and nobody cares. There are no TV dollars of any significance yet these idiot women playing in the wnba are under the mistaken impression they are entitled to more money, perhaps even the sums paid to professional men's athletes, who people actually watch and fund through their dollars. This is true of women's collegiate athletics as well. For the most part, nobody cares. Put the money where it generates a rate of return. Water seeks it's own level.

[Read the article: Happy birthday, Title IX]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]is accurate. We have seen it with Annika Sorenstam, who never made the cut at a men's event. We saw it with Michele Wie. If it truly were a level playing field and 1 team rather than a men's and a women's team, there would be no women participating as they don't possess the athletic skills and abilities. They are also not fun to watch, unless you are a voyeur of some sort. Much better to watch the NBA than the WNBA, the PGA rather than the LPGA, etc.

There is nothing to solve:
[Read the article: Hitting a wall on immigration]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]1. ENFORCE the existing laws on the books.
2. Secure the Mexican border, with fencing if necessary.
3. Deport those who refuse to abide by the immigration laws of this land.
It is not xenophobic, biggotted or racist to enforce immigration laws. The financial and economic difficulties of Mexico are not our fucking problem.

Tough
[Read the article: Happy birthday, Title IX]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]shit. Women's athletics exists at the expense of men's athletics. On the contrary, it is quite logical and well reasoned. Advertising dollars overwhelming support men's sports and overwhelming don't support women's sports. The mathematics and economics don't lie. Nobody gives a shit about women's sports, except some women.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]typically pay for all other sports. The concessions, advertising dollars, alumni support are directed toward these sports specifically. Sporting goods manufacturers (Nike, Addidas, etc) also offer cash payment (typically to coaches to have their athletes wear specific apparel and footwear). Very few, if any, women alumni pledge any noticeable amounts of cash to said sports programs. Sorry, these are the facts.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]morons you are. The objective is profit, dumbshit. The NCAA is quite well qualified, along with their auditting firms to determine who is profitable and who is complying with the rules. It is why they mete our suspensions for violations dollars in regards to TV and BCS rights. Imbeciles.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]complete idiot will get married. With the odds of divorce being at least 50% for a 1st marriage and a guarantee that you will have the skin flayed from your bones to pay for your ex-wifes lifestyle (see how independent and self-sufficient she is, the picture of a liberated woman-only she wants your money to pay for her liberation) during divorce and worse when you have children. Amusing, 50 Cent is paying $25K per month to that piece of shit mother of his child and she is demanding more. This is a man's future who gets married. Don't do it.

[Read the article: Wedding trashers]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I love women. I just see no reason to marry. Overrated, expensive and very risky. Marriage is the formation of a corporation whose dissolution (divorce) is managed and governed by the State, unlike the dissolution of a typical corporation. The only way to manage the risk is to have a very good prenuptial. The downside is that 10 year mark. Why do you think so many wealthy men pull the ripcord before the 10 year mark in California? After 10 years most terms and conditions of prenuptials are invalidated and you will pay alimony for the rest of the natural life of your ex-wife. Bad business. Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?
