London 2012 Olympics: Will Bangladesh win any medals?

Will the minimum wage be raised to $10 in 2013?
It could indeed lead to a long discussion and probably has on many occasions. In answer to your question about Australian businesses, essential health care is largely covered by the Government so businesses do not directly face this expense. All things considered the Australian economy seems remarkably healthy. While I wouldn't attribute this to having a (relatively) high minimum wage, I don't see evidence that it is hampering us. I guess our economy is mainly services and resources based rather than manufacturing, so might not be applicable to US.

   06/09/2012 11:27PitchedOutsideLeg

Will the minimum wage be raised to $10 in 2013?
In Australia the minimum wage is $15.51/hour. Different currency, but same value. So at the moment USA has the minimum wage set at less than half the level of Australia. Unbelievable. And yet any move to provide basic health care to those who can't afford to pay for it, increase taxation of the wealthy or increase the minimum wage is met with popular opposition.

Faster than light; will the CERN finding be confirmed and Einstein defied, before the end of 2012?
Earlier on Wednesday, ScienceInsider, a website run by the respected American Association for the Advancement of Science, reported that the surprising result was down to a loose fibre-optic cable linking a Global Positioning System satellite receiver to a computer.

Gillies confirmed that a flaw in the GPS system was now suspected as a possible cause for the surprising reading. Further testing was needed before any definite conclusions could be reached, he added.

The faster-than-light finding was recorded when 15,000 neutrino beams were pumped over three years from CERN to an underground Italian laboratory at Gran Sasso near Rome.

"A possible explanation has been found. But we won't know until we have tested it out with a new beam to Gran Sasso," Gillies said in Geneva.
