CHICAGO-AEAE- 'Tis the time when mystics gaze into their crystal balls and tell us what awaits next year. Yeah, we know all about the predicted doomsday in 2012, but what about 2010?
Who believes in these clairvoyant visions? More than one person out of four, according to a 2005 poll.

Psychics
Sylvia Browne is a household name in psychic circles. She sees Stoller making a big come back in 2010, if he can stay away from Lisara, his track record with women is wonting. Browne also sees a higher rate of skin cancer in kids, a cure for the cold and a startling prediction with a fuzzy timeline.
