Will Ronald Kratz II win his lawsuit against BAE Systems for firing him for being morbidly obese?
I hope he wins. If he was doing the job, then what's the problem? I bet they were worried about health care costs. But the law says companies can't fire employees for that reason. BTW I'm heavy myself, but not THAT heavy!

Will the Supreme Court hear a case about the Constitutionality of "Obamacare" during its next term?
"Land before" is confusing. Usually the Supreme Court is not obligated to accept appeals. It decides which cases to hear, and it hears only a small fraction of cases submitted to it. But very likely in this case it will hear the case because of the important issues involved and the conflict between rulings of lower courts.

Suggest alternate wording: "Will the Supreme Court hear a case about the Constitutionality of Obamacare during its next term (which runs October 3, 2011 to October 1, 2012)?"

Will Michele Bachmann win the Republican Caucus in Iowa?
Great market hfl13! Careful though... the Intrade market that you link to is the Ames straw poll, not the caucus. Wikipedia explains: "For the Republicans, the Iowa caucuses follow (and should not be confused with) the Ames Straw Poll in August of the preceding year. Out of the five Ames Straw Poll iterations, 1987 and 2007 are the only years in which the winner of the Ames Straw Poll has not gone on to win the Iowa caucuses." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iowa_caucuses The Ames straw poll will be held August 13, 2011. The Iowa Democratic and Republican caucuses will be held on February 6, 2012. I can see that your question refers to the caucus because you set it to suspend on January 15th. Just want to clarify...

Will the 'Milford Sound' site be chosen to be one of the New7Wonders?
I thought it was very pretty when I first saw it in 1993... especially because I had "tramped" the Milford Track for over 3 days to get there. It's supposed to look like the Norwegian Fjords-- couldn't tell ya, haven't been to Norway. It's like a lake with some waterfalls, surrounded by mountains and often, some fog.

It's pretty enough that I'll put a small wager on it.
