Headline #25<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you want a bigger name in the elite cabal surrendering? Forget it. This headline was already maxed out, but we’re looking for extra credit on Headline #25.<\/p>\n

It happens in the final throes of our target month, August 2014. It\u2019s not like we really needed this headline\u2026after all, we\u2019ve already had several big financial scandals taking down a CEO here and CFO there.<\/p>\n

But now, it\u2019s up at the IMF and the stakes could send this \u201cdisgraced tycoon\u201d to the penalty box for a year. I\u2019d argue that the potential 15K-Euro fine is but pocket change should she receive a guilty assessment, but that\u2019s not the point here.<\/p>\n

Okay, enough of that\u2026what\u2019s the news?<\/p>\n

IMF chief charged with ‘negligence’ over graft case<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

By Andr\u00e9a Bambino 27 August 2014<\/em><\/p>\n

Paris (AFP) – IMF chief Christine Lagarde, one of the world’s most powerful women, announced Wednesday she had been charged with “negligence” over a multi-million-euro graft case relating to her time as French finance minister.<\/em><\/p>\n

The shock announcement came a day after she was grilled for more than 15 hours by a special court in Paris that probes ministerial misconduct, the fourth time she has been questioned in a case that has long weighed upon her position as managing director of the International Monetary Fund.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Severity level? Um, pretty small. But how about the hit on our predictive headline? Pretty big, which reminds me\u2026<\/p>\n

I\u2019m starting to come to the conclusion that most dream-based predictions that we have do tend to be more extreme than what actually happens. While we do have quite a statistically proven success rate, the level of severity tends to be more subdued when the prediction comes out in real life.<\/p>\n

In the future, we\u2019ll be looking at how to incorporate this new observation into future prediction-making. I think a great example was the recent \u201cGold bar system total crash\u201d meme. Instead of a crash, we simply predicted a multi-week decrease in the metals market, which is exactly what happened.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Headline #6<\/h1>\n

We didn\u2019t have a perfect score on Headline #6, and this next headline won\u2019t get us to 5.0 either, but it\u2019s one of those striking similes that should have everyone going, \u201cwow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Headline #6 projected that, \u201cEntertainer (insert any name that has \u201cVan\u201d in it) to Feed One Million Hungry Americans<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n

How about this incredible connection between Van and Hungry:<\/p>\n

Joran van der Sloot goes on hunger strike to protest prison switch<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Published August 27, 2014 | FoxNews.com<\/em><\/p>\n

Joran van der Sloot — the prime suspect in the 2005 disappearance of U.S. teen Natalee Holloway \u2013 has gone on a hunger strike to protest his transfer to a maximum security jail in Peru.<\/em><\/p>\n

Peruvian prison spokeswoman Janeth Sanchez told The Associated Press that the 27-year-old Dutchman was moved Sunday to Challapalca, located high in the Andes near the Bolivian border. He previously was held at a prison north of Lima.<\/em><\/p>\n

Authorities said van der Sloot — who is serving a 28-year term for murdering Stephany Flores in 2010 — was moved because he threatened to kill the warden of the Piedras Gordas prison, where he was imprisoned.<\/em><\/p>\n

Van der Sloot said he has gone on the hunger strike to protest the move, the BBC reports.<\/em><\/p>\n

We up the score for Headline #6 just a tad to 3.5. This Van is certainly not entertaining, and he\u2019s not literally feeding others. I guess in a way he is actually feeding millions of news-hungry Americans! So, not a perfect score, but I can\u2019t imagine anyone not seeing the connection here.<\/p>\n
