The human mind or the computer.  

 

Whether that new product line will play  in Peoria,  capture Kalamazoo, or  tank in  Taipei?  

 

Will your name help or hinder getting that job you want so dearly?    

How to best motivate poor mothers to provide better health care for their children?  

 

Which French wines will be most tasty five years from now?  

 

How the  U.S. Supreme Court will vote on already scheduled cases on its docket?  

 

How to most successfully  teach reading  to low achieving students?  

Learn how 'freakeconomics," supercrunching, direct instruction, and related applications of computer-based statistics are turning decisionmaking into (for some) an Orwellian reality.  For others, a bonanza, and a beautiful day.
