I saw your videos and read your blog about basal metabolic rate and wondered how you interpret this new study which apparently shows that low metabolic rate is not
a predictor of future weight gain: http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/104/4/959.abstract Guyenet etc seem to be saying this is significant.
The MET Project found that composite measures
of teacher effectiveness that combined, with roughly equal
weights, value - added calculated with state tests, classroom observations, and student responses to surveys were somewhat better
predictors of a teacher's
future value - added calculated from an alternative test than was value - added calculated from the state test alone.
