How do you spell precosious or precocious?
Welcome back to the show.The Bryant Park project is from NPR.We're always available online.
It is time for the most e-mailed, most commented and most popular stories from the Web.We call it The Most.
Ian, to prove a point, something, and when I used to do this for MSNBC, it was always my point that the most often very interesting stories, sometimes, but these are also very serious stories that people want to share with one another.
CHILLAG: Yeah.It's a way to understand what people are thinking about.This story is the most e-mailed from the Washington Post.
Soldier suicides are at an all time high.There is an internal Army study that has alarming numbers.There were 121 soldiers who took their own lives last year.Since the war in Iraq began, that has gone up six-fold.
You can't get an idea of what happened in other protected conflicts because the Army only keeps numbers on this since 1980.The Army was unprepared for the high number of suicides because they didn't know the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were going on for a long time.
The Washington Post reporter talked to a soldier who tried to kill himself after three tours in Iraq.Gladys said that she was given an 800 number to call if she needed help.I don't care about the 800 number when I feel overwhelmed.I want a one-on-one talk with a trained psychiatrist who knows war.
That leads to the purpose of the study.The Army wants to learn how to deal with this problem better, so the top personnel chief ordered it.
The most e-mailed at USA Today is mine.The headline grabbed me.Professor Colin, you should get rid of fractions.I'm really bad at math, so I always interested in anything that involves it.
Dennis DeTurck is an award-winning math professor.He's going to argue in a book that we should scrap the teaching of fractions at a high school level.
There's no need to do it according to him.We are in a digital age.The decimal system should be used.They have had their day.He's caused a lot of controversy by making statements like that.He's going to talk about getting rid of things like long division and square roots.
I find fractions confusing.I have a real world example.The scene shop was where I used to work.I ruined a very expensive pile of metal because I cut it the wrong length.I made it too short because I didn't know how much metal there was.
There are mathematicians who say don't scrap fractions.These are the basic skills that people need to learn.So...
Okay, Caitlin Kenney.My story is that medical marijuana vending machines are here.It's the most popular e-mail at the LA Times.
Patients who use marijuana for medical reasons can now get their pot at the Herbal Nutrition Center where a large machine will dole out the drug around the clock.You can get your drugs at least three times in the city, but it's pretty secure.
There's a machine that requires fingerprints and a card with a magnetic stripe.A bright green envelope with pot is dropped down the slot after the card and fingerprints are verified.
College students who are not feeling too much pain can't just go up to the machine and try to...
Kenney, yeah.You need to have a card.People are objecting to it.People are still feeling it on the property.It is legal for medical purposes.
The benefits of this machine, according to the inventor, are convenient access, lower prices, and safety.In the event of a raid, it cuts down on the number of workers in the store.So there you go.
I sacrificed last night and stayed up to watch the show.I just want you to know.
Why is it that the number one search engine?Last night, they had a girl named Julie DuBela, and she was very young.Here's a little bit of her performance last night.
Ms. Julie Dubela pulled her harpoon out of her bandana.Bobby was playing the blues.Yeah.
There you are.It hit the top of the charts on the search engine.She was very smart.She was awful.I have only one word for her.She did not go through the Hollywood.I'm very happy about that.She was on the internet before she fell off.The number one is precocious.
It's just a young person who is mature for their age.It can be taken that way.
Yes, MARTINEZ.When they're in Omaha, he's from Charlotte, Iowa, if he was on the show.There's a man named Leo Marlowe.The most adorable guy in the world is here.He's the last person to try out.
I wanted to play it because I thought it was great.It has nothing to do with The Most.It's my favorite moment of the week.
My mom always said that she raised a perfect homecoming queen, but it wasn't one of her daughters.I felt it.
Mr. MARLOWE has been to many places in his life.I have sung a lot of songs.I've made some bad rhymes.I've acted out my life in front of 10,000 people.I'm singing this song to you because we're alone now.
The second to last most.The Wall Street Journal has this.The headline is "Chew This Over: Munchable Ice Sells Like Hot Cakes", and it's one of the most viewed.Some people like to chew ice.
MARTINEZ: Yeah.You have to chew them in Phoenix.I used to choke on chunks of ice when I was a kid.My grandpa...
It's for you, Matt, because some fast-food places are selling it in cups and bags to-go, and ice machine makers are competing to make the best chewable ice, names like Chewblet, Nugget Ice, Pearl Ice and, in fact, they.
Most viewed at the Wall Street Journal is Stewart.All of these stories will be linked up on our website.
