|Coastal Flooding Events on the French coast of the Eastern English Channel: the Result of a Combination of Meteorological, Marine, and Morphological Factors

|On account of increasing inhabitation and development of coastal areas, the economical stakes are high for forecasting and prevention of coastal flooding risk. Because of their exposure to prevailing Westerlies, morphological, and topographic features, low coastal areas on the French coast of the eastern English Channel are particularly sensitive to this natural risk. This sensitivity, that has always characterized this study area, is becoming worrying to politicians and inhabitants. The study aim is to identify, from 1949 to 2010, the possible increase in frequency and intensity of these meteorological and marine events, and their characteristics for forecasting objectives. The chosen approach is made up of three elements: 1) An analysis of strong west wind over the last decades has been implemented from Meteo-France data of Dieppe, reliable regional meteorological station. Beyond multi-annual random fluctuations, we have noticed a decrease in frequency and intensity of strong winds traditionally involved in flooding events. 2) An analysis of past events has been carried out from many information sources to warrant the accuracy of statements and their exhaustiveness. Thanks to this database, the main results are: i) the absence of increasing trend about frequency and intensity of coastal flooding events; ii) the cartography of coastal flooding risk for each urbanized area; iii) the definition of wind and tide level thresholds (7 m/s and 8.49 m at Dieppe) above which there is flooding. 3) A characterization, on the synoptic scale, of meteorological conditions ending in flooding has been performed. In matching this piece of information with the past events inventory, we have identified: firstly the two major types of low pressure trajectories that generated overflowing, so the two main atmospheric circulations prone to flooding, and secondly the fundamental meteorological aspect of the high north-west pressure gradient (≥ 20 hPa from "Pointe du Raz" (France) to Cromer city (U.K.)) of these flooding events. Frequency of this particular pressure configuration in the English Channel does not highlight any significant trend during the last century. Beyond tide level and wind (speed, direction) thresholds, another factor explains coastal flooding events. This is the matter of atmospheric cold front during high tide, observable in 70 % of coastal flooding events in the eastern English Channel. Analysis of these coastal flooding events cannot be restricted to simple meteorological and marine conditions during overflowing by the sea. This work emphasizes the need for longer analysis period. It is important to encompass the possible beach "preparation time" (lowering of the beach profile) by meteorological and marine conditions for a few days or weeks before flooding event. This "preparation time" may be short: 48 hours of strong winds (> 8 m/s) may be sufficient to shape a beach profile prone to overflowing. Coastal flooding is the result of a combination of factors from various time and space scales, which goes over the simple combination of extreme sea-level and strong wind perpendicular to coast.

One of the questions many people have when it comes to building backlinks is whether or not using contextual backlinks is necessary.
Most people have no idea how search engines work, much less backlinking. Many think they do, but they're completely wrong. Others just continuously try to fool the search engines.
As you read on, you'll begin to understand why using contextual backlinks is a strategy that's becoming much more useful and efficient because of the constant changes that Google keeps making.
We know what a challenge changes like the recent Penguin update have posed for those trying to get into Google's good graces and ranked on their front pages. One of the answers for not letting these changes affect us is to simply have very high quality content.
This is after all what Google is all about, and what they base their whole model of search on. Their constant updates and changes, including this recent Penguin update as well as last year's Panda update, are because of this constant endeavor for relevance.
So What Does That Have to Do With Contextual Links?
It's pretty simple really.
Since Google clearly favors high quality relevant content, it only stands to reason that they would also favor links from high quality relevant content.
So basically, when you have a backlink (with the anchor text being your keyword) coming from a site that's got great high quality content built around that keyword – meaning that there are other words on the same page, or within the same article to support that main keyword – then Google sees that backlink as something that they should pay attention to.
What happens when Google pays attention to you…or feels that something of yours is attention worthy?
They reward you with higher search engine rankings. This leads to more search engine traffic, and since that type of traffic is quite targeted, it usually means a higher income for the website owner.
How Do You Get Contextual Backlinks?
There are a few ways that you can get contextual backlinks. After reading what you've read so far, you can see that you'll need some good content surrounding your links.
Creating content is the first step. The next step would be getting that content out on the internet.
Press Releases – Google likes press releases because they're very often very current, and well written since the author is usually hoping to be placed in a popular publication either online of offline.
Articles – Articles can be placed in tons of different places all over the internet. People use article directories, they can be placed on relevant websites owned by you, or submitted to be placed on other people's websites…
Blog Posts – Blog posts are similar to articles, except for the fact that a blog post very often has more relevance placed on it. Generally this because most blogs are hosted on either a Blogger website (which is owned by Google) or hosted on a Wordpress site, of which the structure is LOVED by Google.
But also the fact that blogs like press releases are often very current, and as much as Google loves relevant content… they love current relevant content even more. Getting your contextual backlinks on current and relevant blogs is a phenomenal way to increase your site's rankings.
Again, you can place blog posts (basically an article posted on a blog) on your own sites, as well as other peoples sites, or within a blog network made up of different blogs that support a linking structure that Google loves.
So there you go, you now understand exactly what contextual backlinks are and why building backlinks with these types of links is almost a must for your website to do well in Google's search engine these days.

Firefighters, members of the military, and civilians took part in the first-ever 9-11 Memorial Stair Climb in Florence.
This week marked the twelfth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington DC.
A pre-event run-through of the strenuous climb was held Friday at the Marriott Shoals Renaissance Tower. Event organizer and Florence firefighter Dustin Simmons said it is important to remember those who lost their lives in the line of duty on that day.
"The fire service is like a brotherhood, so when we lose someone, it hurts us all," said Simmons. "We need to do this, and to never forget."
More than 75 participants climbed to the top of the tower five times, which is the equivalent of the 110 stories of the World Trade Center towers. Each participant wore the names of emergency responders who were killed on that day.

Higher Radiation Dose Reduces Recurrence of Local Prostate Cancer
A prospective randomized study in 393 early-stage prostate cancer patients has found that increasing the energy delivered during primary radiotherapy from the conventional dose of 70 Gy to 79.2 Gy results in a 49 percent reduction in the risk of increased PSA levels. The finding is "pivotal," said an accompanying editorial in the September 14 Journal of the American Medical Association, because it "provides support for dose escalation in men with lower-risk disease."
Researchers followed the men for 5.5 years, looking primarily at PSA levels. Biochemical recurrence of the cancer was diagnosed in 38.6 percent of those who had been treated with 70 Gy, compared with 19.6 percent who had received 79.2 Gy. While this result mirrors other studies, a subset of 227 men whose clinical findings at diagnosis put them at lowest risk also fared significantly better with the higher dose: Only 19.5 percent relapsed, compared with 39.9 percent who received the conventional dose.
Lead author Dr. Anthony L. Zietman of Harvard Medical School and colleagues emphasized that the advantage of high-dose radiation for low-risk patients must be balanced against the possibility of increased side effects such as rectal bleeding. Such increases in this study were seen only at the Grade 2 level.
The editorial noted the general trend toward higher radiation in the last two decades, which has been made safer by more precise three-dimensional conformal therapy techniques that shape the radiation to minimize damage to surrounding and intervening tissue.
The editorial also noted that while this study used an advanced proton-beam radiation delivery system, the effect on tissue is comparable to standard photon radiation.
Gene Inactivation May Indicate Colon Cancer "Field Defect"
The inactivation of a specific gene by a process called DNA methylation may be a marker by which to detect or assess the risk of developing sporadic colorectal cancer, according to a new study. The study, led by researchers from the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, focused on whether DNA methylation of the MGMT gene, which repairs damaged DNA, is a marker for a "field defect" (a region of unstable, potentially precancerous cells) in colon tissues that predisposes people to colon cancer.
Previous research has linked methylation of MGMT to mutations of the KRAS gene, which is thought to play an important role in colon cancer development. In a study published in the September 21 Journal of the National Cancer Institute (JNCI), Dr. Jean-Pierre Issa and colleagues used several different methods to assess MGMT promoter methylation in samples from colon cancer tumors and in the adjacent or nearby mucosa in 95 patients. They also analyzed colon tissue samples of 33 people without colon cancer.
More than 45 percent of tumor samples had MGMT promoter methylation. Depending on the method used, anywhere from 50 to 94 percent of adjacent cells demonstrated DNA methylation, as did 10 of the 13 available nonadjacent samples. Methylation of MGMT was also detected in the normal colon mucosa from several healthy participants. The study results, the researchers argue, point to the possibility of conducting clinical trials using MGMT promoter methylation as a "marker of risk" of colon cancer.
An editorial notes that DNA methylation-related field defects raise important questions about testing chemopreventive agents - such as folate for colon cancer prevention - in that such agents could have varied effects depending on the presence of a field defect.
Beta-Carotene Found to be Carcinogenic for Women Smokers but Protective for Nonsmokers
Beta-carotene supplements have been found to increase lung cancer risk in males who smoke. New results from a large prospective observational cohort study in the September 21 JNCI extend this finding to women - and to other tobacco-related cancers.
Women in the study who were current or ever-smokers who took beta-carotene at the high levels found in supplements more than doubled their risk of tobacco-related cancers, compared with women getting the lower amounts found naturally in certain foods (3.1 mg/day or less). In contrast, among those who had never smoked, the relationship was reversed: Those taking high levels of beta-carotene as a supplement cut their risk by 56 percent compared with those taking the smaller amount.
The study known as E3N is the French component of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition. Lead author Dr. Marie-Christine Boutron-Ruault, of INSERM in Villejuif, France, and colleagues collected questionnaires about beta-carotene consumption from 59,910 women who enrolled in the prospective study, which began in 1990. During a median follow-up of 7.4 years, 700 women developed tobacco-related cancers. From most to least frequent incidence, these included colorectal, thyroid, ovarian, cervical, lung, urinary tract, pancreatic, head-and-neck, stomach, anal, and liver cancer.
In an accompanying editorial, Dr. Susan T. Mayne of the Yale University School of Medicine and Dr. Scott M. Lippman of the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center observed that "Evidence suggesting tobacco exposure modifies the chemo-preventive efficacy of nutrients/nutrient derivatives continues to mount."
Erlotinib Studied as First-Line Treatment in Lung Cancer Patients
The targeted drug erlotinib (Tarceva) showed promising activity and tolerable toxicity as a first-line treatment for elderly patients with advanced, non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), according to a phase II study reported last week at the European Respiratory Society Annual Congress in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The single-center study included 80 NSCLC patients aged 70 and older (median 75 years) who had never undergone chemotherapy, and most (69 percent) had not had other treatments, such as surgery or radiation. The researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute reported a median survival time of 46 weeks among the patients.
Although none of the patients had complete responses to erlotinib, 60 percent had either partial responses (median duration 65 weeks) or stable disease (median duration 24 weeks).
In addition, the drug was well tolerated by most patients, with rashes and diarrhea being the most common side effects. Ten patients were discontinued from the study due to toxicity and there was one treatment-related death due to pneumonitis.
Current chemotherapy for older patients with advanced NSCLC is associated with some survival benefits but also significant toxicity, the researchers noted. Dana-Farber's Dr. Bruce Johnson, who headed the research, commented, "While further research is needed, our findings suggest that it may be beneficial to use erlotinib - a relatively non-toxic targeted agent - to initially treat patients with advanced lung cancer, rather than use conventional chemotherapy regimens."
The investigators recommended that a larger phase III trial be considered for this population to compare first-line erlotinib against single agent vinorelbine (Navelbine). Erlotinib is already approved as a second-line therapy for NSCLC after chemotherapy has failed.

Essential Info
Kernel Methods in Computational Biology
Modern machine learning techniques are proving to be extremely valuable for the analysis of data in computational biology problems. One branch of machine learning, kernel methods, lends itself particularly well to the difficult aspects of biological data, which include high dimensionality (as in microarray measurements), representation as discrete and structured data (as in DNA or amino acid sequences), and the need to combine heterogeneous sources of information. This book provides a detailed overview of current research in kernel methods and their applications to computational biology.
Following three introductory chapters—an introduction to molecular and computational biology, a short review of kernel methods that focuses on intuitive concepts rather than technical details, and a detailed survey of recent applications of kernel methods in computational biology—the book is divided into three sections that reflect three general trends in current research. The first part presents different ideas for the design of kernel functions specifically adapted to various biological data; the second part covers different approaches to learning from heterogeneous data; and the third part offers examples of successful applications of support vector machine methods.

Serving websites as unique users off a single server
Made to Serve
Creating secure websites with their own privileges on a single server.
Most virtualization now focuses on the server level. This approach makes a lot of sense because you can use whatever applications you want and pretty much any operating system, and you don't have to worry about whether or not the applications will behave appropriately. The problem for virtualizing most services is that the protocols (SSH, FTP, etc.) are stateful, and very few are designed with load balancing and failover specifically in mind. Sharing state between servers is a non-trivial problem; sharing the state is simple, but do you take action before or after you have confirmed that the state was shared?

A group of Minnesota Republicans, aptly dubbed Republicans Against the Minnesota Marriage Amendment, have joined the fight opposing a proposed constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. State Rep. John Kriesel (R), one of only four Republicans in the Minnesota House who opposed the amendment, explained, "I'm a Republican because I believe in individual liberty and freedom. I believe this is an attack on that." Also joining Kriesel were University of Minnesota law professor Dale Carpenter, former gubernatorial candidate Wheelock Whitney, former Bush White House counsel Richard Painter, and former St. Paul Deputy Mayor Susan Kimberly. Tony Sutton, the state GOP chairman, notes that such beliefs conflict with the party's position, which calls for the ban.

If Women Got An Extra Hour: 6 Percent Would Have Sex, 24 Percent Would Sleep
May 31, 2013 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
MINNEAPOLIS (UPI) — If U.S. women had an hour added to their day, 6 percent would have sex, 12 percent would spend it with their partner, and 24 percent would sleep, a survey says.
Ginger Consulting, a branding and custom research firm, said its fifth annual "What Women Want" survey also found if women had an additional hour a day, 14 percent would exercise, 6 percent would spend it with their kids, and 2 percent would spend it with friends.
Women like a celebrity lifestyle, but not the pampering of spa days, designer wardrobes, or perfect hair — but 48 percent of women said they wanted a great home, 46 percent said they wanted frequent vacations, and 28 percent wanted personal chefs and nutritionists.
"Men, take note. Simple things, like planning a vacation for the woman in your life or taking her out for a delicious meal, can make a big difference in her overall satisfaction," Beth Perro-Jarvis, principal of Ginger Consulting, said in a statement. "Also, if you really want to make her day, get rid of your piles of clutter."
Women are responsible for or influence $7 trillion in annual U.S. consumer and business purchases, Perro-Jarvis said. They also influence more than 85 percent of all products and services purchased.
Ginger's Alpha Panel Survey was conducted March 25-April 2 among 400 nationally representative female consumers ages 21-60. No margin of error was provided.

46 U.S. Code § 12302 - Standard numbering system
(a) The Secretary shall prescribe by regulation a standard numbering system for vessels to which this chapter applies. On application by a State, the Secretary shall approve a State numbering system that is consistent with the standard numbering system. In carrying out its numbering system, a State shall adopt any definitions of relevant terms prescribed by regulations of the Secretary.
(b) A State with an approved numbering system is the issuing authority within the meaning of this chapter. The Secretary is the issuing authority in a State in which a State numbering system has not been approved.
(c) When a vessel is numbered in a State, it is deemed in compliance with the numbering system of a State in which it temporarily is operated.
(d) When a vessel is removed to a new State of principal operation, the issuing authority of that State shall recognize the validity of the number issued by the original State for 60 days.
(e) If a State has a numbering system approved after the Secretary issues a number, the State shall recognize the validity of the number issued by the Secretary for one year.
(f) When the Secretary decides that a State numbering system is not being carried out consistent with the standard numbering system or the State has changed the system without the Secretary's approval, the Secretary may withdraw approval after giving notice to the State, in writing, stating the reasons for the withdrawal.
Source(Pub. L. 98–89, Aug. 26, 1983, 97 Stat. 590.)
|Revised section
|Source section (U.S. Code)
Section 12302 provides for a standard numbering system for undocumented vessels and for approval of State numbering systems by the Secretary. It also requires that a State, when implementing its numbering system, adopt any relevant terms required by the Secretary. In States without approved numbering systems, the Federal Government issues the numbers. This section also provides for the operation of a vessel in a State other than the one in which it was numbered.
The table below lists the classification updates, since Jan. 3, 2012, for this section. Updates to a broader range of sections may be found at the update page for containing chapter, title, etc.
The most recent Classification Table update that we have noticed was Tuesday, August 13, 2013

The East Greenwich/Warwick office of Rhode Island Medical Imaging is expected to be back in full operation by today after a car crashed into the facility last Thursday morning.
The driver, Denny Witkowski of 42 Lyman Ave,, Warwick, was not injured in the accident, in which his car crashed through the wall of the facility.
Witkowski told police he was pulling into a parking space in front of the building when he mistakenly hit the gas pedal instead of the brake pedal, sending the car crashing into the X-ray room. He was not charged by police.
Erin Flynn, a 25-year veteran administrator at the New England Institute of Technology, was invited to President Obama's State of the Union address Tuesday as the guest of U.S. Rep. Jim Langevin (D-R.I., District 2).
Flynn has partnered with Langevin on one of his key workforce development efforts, the High School Cyber Foundations Competition, which Langevin introduced to his home state as a model for introducing young people to expanding industries like cybersecurity.

EAST GREENWICH – Children of all ages will be delighted in February when the East Greenwich Drama Department stages the funny "Once Upon A Mattress."
The vehicle that made Carol Burnett a star on Broadway, "Once Upon A Mattress," is the musical version of The Princess and The Pea. The delightful score was written by Mary Rodgers, daughter of the immortal musical writer Richard Rodgers of Rodgers and Hart and Rodgers and Hammerstein fame.
Sarah Jessica Parker starred in a revival a decade ago in New York.
A historic chest dating back to 1756, commissioned for Lt. Col. Oliver Arnold of East Greenwich and his wife, Mary Oliver Arnold, took top honors at last weekend's Important Americana auction at Sotheby's auction house in New York City.
The chest, built by prominent eighteenth-century cabinetmaker John Townsend of Newport, fetched $3,554,500, the top price along the Important Americana items up for bid, said Darrell Rocha, a spokesman for the auction house. The price also set a Sotheby's record for a high chest of drawers.
EAST GREENWICH - While the School Department's financial advisory board would like to see an eventual end to the leasing of storage space in Varnum Armory, that may be easier said than done.
Facilities Director Robert Wilmarth presented a report on the activities at the armory to the School Committee last Tuesday, prior to the beginning of a series of workshops which will produce its fiscal 2013 budget. The committee took no action at that meeting.
Early Thursday morning, a driver crashed into a side of a medical building in East Greenwich, causing damage to the X-Ray room.
According to the Providence Journal, a representative from Rhode Island Medical Imaging, located at 1351 South County Trail said that no one was in the X-Ray room at the time of the accident and patients at the facility were given the option to seek treatment at one of the other five offices within the group.

Hint: it's not as hard as you think, and doesn't involve hiring a lawyer or knowing a guy who knows a guy.
Just ask state Sen. Dawson Hodgson (D-Dist. 35, North Kingstown, East Greenwich), who recently picked up his cell phone to greet a constituent.
"After I told him who I was, he hesitated, and asked me if the senator was there, like I was a staff member who answered his phone. We don't have our own staff," he said last Wednesday at a United Way of Rhode Island Young Leaders forum at the Statehouse in Providence.

James Brown is feelin' good on the soundtrack that is funking up Chef David Cook's dining room. And so am I. In fact, I feel better than James Brown after swiping the last remaining evidence from the bowl of fabulous roasted mushroom soup that was delivered as the Godfather declared "So nice! So nice!" The soup's solid bass line of rich musky earth supports the twangy top notes of crème fraîche and truffle. The seared scallops are another wonder, atop porcelain-crisp bacon, cauliflower, and bok choy; and the beef tenderloin tartare—bounded by caramelized cippolini onions on one side and a delicate stack of toast points on the other—is phenomenal.
Not so long ago Cook was the local king of the culinary vanguard, a restless imagination who had the time and energy to play the edge. But then three things happened: the economy demanded more focused menus and leaner staff, chic farmhouse fare came into vogue, and
most of all, David and Daveed's matured. Now papa's got a (somewhat) brand new bag—a menu that usually totals 16 dishes and has been leaning more in the direction of sophisticated Sunday suppers (a pan-seared chicken thigh resting on crushed potatoes and haricots verts; an extraordinary roasted duck breast sliced and fanned over garganelli and wild mushrooms) than the House that Cook's Euro-funk Built (arugula with truffled peach puree and Parmigiano Reggiano). It's food as good as it gets when the cook is not feeling capricious or the server moody (and we've encountered both on our visits). For now, Daveed's seems comfortable with this new groove, and we're content to shout and shimmy along.

Why do I need an agent, anyway?
Well, if you want to be a full-time professional novelist, you do. I know, people do it without. Fine - if you're one of those people, I'm not talking to you.
But for those of us who DON'T have that kind of business savvy, this is what an agent does.
A good literary agent lives in New York (that's CITY). An agent's job is pretty much to go out to breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee, and drinks with every good editor in the city, and know what those editors are looking for, so that when you hand your agent your new book or proposal, your agent will know exactly which editor is looking for what kind of a book - know each editor's taste intimately, so that your agent can submit to exactly the right editor at each publishing company and put you and your book in the position of making the best possible deal available on the planet at that moment.
Really. That's what your agent does.
When your agent submits your book, s/he will most likely submit it to 8-10 of the top publishers in New York simultaneously, and you need to have that book submitted to the editor MOST LIKELY TO BUY IT at each house, in the hopes of -
1 - creating an auction and/or pre-empt situation
2. - getting the best possible editor for you and your particular book and the best possible deal out there.
You cannot do these things yourself. An agent can. This is the difference between writing for a living and writing in those spaces between the demands of the day job.
So that's the WHY of an agent. The HOW is here.
And here's some video of a panel discussion that I did with Dusty Rhoades and Stacey Cochran that goes further into what an agent will do for you and why it's so important to have one. The question I was asked in the beginning of this tape was "Can I sell a book without an agent?"
And continued here:
If you're in the LA area, I hope you're coming to the West Hollywood Book Fair this Sunday!
Sept. 28 - West Hollywood, CA
West Hollywood Book Fair
Sunday, 9am – 5 pm, West Hollywood Park
- I'm doing a supernatural fiction panel at 11:45 with Heather Graham, Les Klinger and Adrienne Barbeau
- And signings all the rest of the day, including at Dark Delicacies booth (1-2 pm) Mystery Writers of America booth (2-3 pm) and Sisters in Crime booth (3-4 pm)

I've been reminded by a reader that an agent also is or functions as a contracts lawyer (or a good agency will have a department of contracts lawyers) who will, after the sale, negotiate a contract that is far better for the author than the boilerplate - such as retaining rights in other media and other countries.
Writers without representation or with less than ideal representation might realize just how unfavorable the contract is only when it's much too late.
I'm so used to film contracts which you actually have to have vetted by an entertainment lawyer that I neglected that perk of a book agent - they do that part for you, too.

Thanks for a great post. I've been vacillating on this subject a lot lately, and now I'm convinced.

Thanks for a great post. I've been vacillating on this subject a lot lately, and now I'm convinced to try again.
- R.J. Mangahas said...
Honestly, Alex, I don't know where I'd be without the generous advice that you and other established writers offer to the writing masses out there. Thank you.
- Alexandra Sokoloff said...
Good grief, LJ, it's horrifying to me that anyone would want to try to do any of this without a great agent. Glad to be of service.
And RJ - it doesn't feel generous at all... we learn as much from talking about it with writers like YOU.
(LJ and RJ... why is "J" such a cool letter to have as par of those initial names?"
- R.J. Mangahas said...
I'm not sure what it is that makes the letter 'J' in the initial names so cool. I guess I never really gave it too much thought.
- Alexandra Sokoloff said...
Legendary Putnam editor Neil Nyren has this to say about finding an agent:
"The question I always hear the most at conferences is about how to find the right agent, and I always say, "Homework." Now that homework is easier to do than ever. Besides such sites as Publishers Marketplace, AgentQuery, and the like, every agent in creation has his or her own website where you can find out about their preferences, authors, deals, ways of doing business. Really, people, there's no excuse for cluelessness anymore."

Shrinking US deficit matters to your portfolio
Beneath the veneer of good economic news, trouble lurks. Here's what it could mean for you.
It's the feel-good story of 2013 that nobody is talking about.
The nation's budget deficit, which had been spiraling out of control, is finally returning to manageable levels. Thanks to higher government revenues and lower government spending, this year's shortfall (for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30) will likely be around 40% lower than a year ago.
In fact, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) predicts the budget deficit will fall below $400 billion by fiscal 2015. Good news, indeed.
Or is it?
Should we be pleased the budget deficit will still be larger than the entire economy of many mid-sized countries? And for investors, does that falling budget portend good news for stocks and bonds? Before we answer those questions, let's take a closer look at the road ahead for the U.S. government's finances.
A fast-shrinking deficit ($billions)Source: Congressional Budget Office
Despite the current good news, demographic forces threaten to push the deficit higher later this decade. Until policy makers adopt additional measures to raise revenues (likely through tax increases) and cut government spending, the CBO forecasts a $650 billion deficit by fiscal 2019 and an $800 billion deficit by 2022, as a growing pool of retirees absorb a higher amount of retirement and health care benefits.
How much higher? The CBO notes that Congress is currently spending around $2 trillion every year on mandatory spending such as Social Security and Medicare, though that figure is expected to swell 75% to $3.5 trillion by 2022.
No matter how large or small, the deficit is still troublesome to the rising $16.7 trillion national debt. And all that debt means the government doles out more than $300 billion a year in interest payments on that debt, which plays a role in keeping the budget from coming into balance.
To be sure, the current interest payments actually benefit from the current era of low interest rates. When interest rates start to rise, the government will likely pay much higher sums. Erskine Bowles, who has been leading a government council that seeks to tackle the persistent deficits, paints matters in starker terms:
"We'll be spending over $1 trillion a year on interest by 2020. That's $1 trillion we can't spend to educate our kids or to replace our badly worn-out infrastructure," said Bowles at a November 2012 forum hosted by IHS Global Insight.
"What makes it doubly bad is that trillions will be spent principally in Asia because that's where our debt is," he added.
No matter how you look at it, it remains hard to see how the national debt will stop growing and start shrinking. Even with current low interest rates, the annual interest payments consume more of the federal budget than the Department of Agriculture, Department of Education and Department of State -- all combined. By next year, interest payments will exceed what the United States spends annually on Medicaid.
Bad for bonds?
Thus far, the huge tide of deficits and debt has not had much of an impact on bond markets. The global economy has been so weak that investors have gladly bought relatively safe government bonds. But as the global economy strengthens, massive sums of money will pull out of bond funds in pursuit of higher returns, such as stocks.
The drop in demand for bonds means that bond issuers (such as the government, states, municipalities and corporations) will have to offer higher yields. And rising bond yields means falling bond prices, which will lead to a drop in value for that bond fund you may own. Net/net bonds are vulnerable to the ongoing budget deficit, regardless if it's $1 trillion or $400 billion.
Good for stocks?
So if investors can be expected to pull money out of bonds and into stocks as the global economy firms, should we read that to mean that budget deficits are good for stocks?
Not at all. In fact, we're already seeing real headwinds in the economy as government spending shrinks. Uncle Sam provides a lot of juice to the U.S. economy -- with expenditures in defense, technology, infrastructure and the like. Economists suggest the smaller amount of government spending is already shaving a full percentage point of growth from the U.S. economy's GDP.
And with the massive debt and deficit pressure still in place, government spending is bound to fall yet further, which means Uncle Sam will be providing an ever-smaller boost to the economy. Net/net stocks have rallied in recent years, despite still-large deficits, but the road ahead will become bumpier as the government shrinks in size.
Action to take: Can Congress ever eliminate the nation's budget deficit? Where there's a will, there's a way, but Washington has lacked the will to do so. In 2012, I suggested ways the government could balance its books. But thus far, only defense spending has been tackled. The other five suggestions have gone unheeded.
Yet until you see Washington finally come to agreements that cut spending and raise revenue, you need to be concerned about bonds and stocks. The recent drop in the annual deficit is great news, but the fact that the national debt is fast-approaching $17 trillion means a debt-triggered crisis can't be ruled out.

More from StreetAuthority
I just looked at David Sterman's 2012 article about balancing the federal budget. He basically wants to raise taxes left and right, on both the rich and the middle class, while cutting only defense and capping Medicare and Medicaid.
Many bloggers on this website including myself could have done a better job than Sterman. What makes him qualified to collect a handsome fee or perhaps, salary for writing inferior information that amateurs could better? What about eliminating departments that are full of bureaucrats? Commerce, Education, Energy, Agriculture... Disperse the duties of Homeland Security back to Justice and Defense where they were before. Put Vet Admin back in Defense. Have less activity and fewer employees in Labor and HHS. The Treasury Dept has way too much activity. And yes, all the other departments must be reduced in size, too, even the State Dept., which specializes in meddling in the affairs of other countries.
Shrinking deficit?! What the hell is this guy talking about?? A couple of economists came out earlier this week and stated that the government was fudging the true deficit numbers! The $16.7 trillion debt is closer to $70 trillion when you add in Medicare, Medicaid, government pensions, etc.
In short, the government is fudging the deficit number the same way they fudge the unemployment numbers. I should be surprised by this, but I'm not.
Shrinking deficit? Don't know who to believe? Believe this, the Fed can't keep buying bonds, which keeps interest rates artificially low. They will have to eventually taper it off, which will increase interest rates. Will this help the US economy? No. Let's keep it real. Were not in a goldilocks economy. The majority of people here have temporary jobs at minimum wage as far as I'm concerned. The Feds printing $85 billion a month. They will print around +1 trillion this year if they keep it up at this rate. By the way, they're buying mortgage-backed and government treasury loans. In doing so, this inflates the stock market to fake all-time highs. What about the +16 trillion dollar national debt? Who has to pay this off? We do and our children. Believe that.
"What makes it doubly bad is that trillions will be spent principally in Asia because that's where our debt is," he added.
He doesn't know what he's talking about. The $16 in debt is held by institutions, individuals and government agencies. Foreign countries hold about 25%. The FED and SS Trust fund hold about 40%. US investors and institutions hold about 35%.
Although the deficit is numerically smaller than it was a year ago, this is the result of smart-aleck tactics, not of fiscal policy growing more sound. Much of the revenue comes from this path: Federal Reserve --> Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac --> Internal Revenue Service. The Fed's purchase of mortgage-backed securities at prices far higher than what the private sector would pay is a clever and sneaky way to fund the federal budget. It differs from having the Fed buy bonds (which is also does in enormous amounts) in that the nominal federal deficit is conveniently reduced.
You, the reader, need to know that the MONEY SUPPLY EXPANSION (technical inflation) is about the same whether the Fed feeds the federal budget through the tax system or through the Treasury bond system.
The corporations and rich have had their own cleverness with regards to paying taxes. Since they could pay 2012 taxes up until 4/15/13, income tax collected was at the 2012 marginal rates even though the payments were made in 2013. The higher rates from letting the Bush tax cuts expire on the rich apply for 2013 taxes. The corporations and rich avoided the higher 2013 rates as much as they could. The aggregate revenue in Jan-April thus spiked. The tax collected in the latter months of 2013 shall likely be far less than officials expect.
Low Rates, for now, have given the Global Powers times to get their house in Order. Problem is, they have no idea of how to do it. You see, there is a problem with cutting another person's salary when you aren't willing to cut your own.
These articles are all reactionary to the effects rather than the underlying cause. George Bush Sr. screwed this country with NAFTA and the American Competitiveness in the Twenty-First Century Act; they were finished under Bill Clinton and he was erroneously credited for starting these global killers. America has lost around 50,000,000 jobs and imported millions of foreign workers and terrorists on H-1B, L1, Green Card and Student Visas from the aforementioned debacles based on corporate fear Baby Boomers leaving the job market in droves would cause a severe labor shortage.
60% of Baby Boomers may never retire now and young workers are severely at a disadvantage while the American Dream is for the rich. Obama approved importing hundreds of thousands of foreign workers into America every year he's been in office even though we have a job shortage and the second depression in history mislabeled as The Great Recession. This lead to severely underfunded hedge funds which insures against bad mortgages and a dramatic drop in derivatives which almost totally collapsed the global economy. Those in poverty may die there before this is corrected, if ever.
Obama was pumping 135,000 foreign workers every year into the US during the worst downturn since 1929. The number was just recently reduced to 60,000 a year but the damage is still mounting as Americans are starving and being driven into poverty. When anyone attempts to get a job in America, they are in direct competition with Congress' foreign workers and it has stagnated cities across America with no end in sight. The only thing the Feds can do now is continue to print money but hyperinflation is a severe risk if they don't pull those funds back into the Fed within 5 years.
Lower deficit???? Didn't we all know when Obama introduced the Trillion dollar deficit and then lowered it by a small percentage that the libtard media would praise him? The way to lower deficits and begin salvaging the next generation's standard of living is to stop spending more, across the board, than the government takes in with revenue. REAL CUTS and not just reductions in the amount of increases will solve the problem.
Begin with across the board cuts and let's see some of the able bodied entitlement seekers cut off. Maybe we'd see some work ethic return to the country rather than these leeches sucking our tax dollars down the gutter while being lazy.
Here is the problem with this article.
1. Social Security and Medicare unfunded liabilities.
2. Federal Pensions unfunded liability.
3. Funky unacceptable accounting practices
4. Below market interest rates thanks to Federal Reserve QE financing distorts real interest cost on federal debt.
5. % of people actually contributing to tax coffers is shrinking by the month -
6. Middle class America is disappearing
7. Affordable Care Act - AKA - Obamacare will bankrupt the country.
Dumbed down country thanks to Federal Department of "Brainwashing" Education.

For the record...not asking if Im pregnant, just asking if anyone else had similar experience.
long story short, I had mmc at 7w6d and d&c 4 days later. I still has some nausea afterwards, but a week or so later I started feeling like myself again. Now almost 4 weeks later, I've been working out and getting back to normal life. Well the past few days I've just started feeling weird again (indigestion, light headed, tired...). So I broke down and took a test and it was positive.
My dr is going to see me Monday, but thinks it may just be residual from the mc. I just don't buy it since I felt fine for almost 2 weeks and now I don't feel well.
Anyone have residual symptoms like this or get pregnant before post mc AF? Just looking for any info :) TIA!
This current pregnancy was straight after my m/c - no cycle in between. I was similar to you, felt horrible for a week or so after then started to feel human again. I started to then feel AF like symptoms but had no idea when to expect it since I was t

Manning and it's not even close
our future
I have no problem with anyone believing Peyton Manning is the better QB. He!!, he very well may be. But the assertion that Tom Brady isn't even close? I expect if you make the case he is better so that is enough of an argument to create significant separation, hence the assertion that he isn't even close. But, I doubt statistics, considering the length of their careers, shows a distinct separation enough to make the claim.
Bill Parcells: "You are what your record says you are."
Oh BTW after missing a full season and all the neck issues. Guess who is the fourth ranked QB in the league is? Oh and looks like Manning is MAKING Thomas a pretty damn good WR. (these 2 comments have nothing to do with the Brady Manning war and pure hatred Brady fans have for Manning) Just throwing it out there because all I have heard for years is Manning was average at best and his his team mates made him. He sits out a year. Gets his neck cut on over and over has to learn how to re throw the football due to nerve re growth (Is doubted mocked made fun of and even some fans BB bagwell NESports Brady to name 4 thank the Gods his career is over sorry the cynic made me say it but it is true) Comes back on a new team new system all new team mates and is doing a pretty good job. I do have to ask though. IF Thomas ends up in the top 3 or 4 in yards can we say Manning made him better or did Thomas make Manning better as has been the thyme in Indy?
Me and my Boys.
Thank you PSD for your support and prayers.

To answer your question, Thomas had all the tools before Manning got there which is why I picked him in fantasy. Of course having a great QB throwing him the ball is going to help his stats. The kid is clueless though............

For the AJC
ALBANY – For most of Saturday's Girls Track and Field State Championships, the skies looked like they would unleash a downpour at any moment. After Friday's preliminaries, Westlake looked primed to let loose on the rest of the Class AAAAAA field.
The sky held its fury. Westlake did not.
Led by Auburn-bound senior SheKara Martin and the 400-meter relay team, the South Fulton school blazed its way to 72.50 total points – more than 30 better than second place Mill Creek (41) – and the school's second state team title in five years (2009). Martin won both the 100- (11.77) and 200-meter (23.94) titles en route to sharing the award for scoring the most points in track events (24.50).
Martin also anchored the 400-meter relay team – which also included Justice Reeves, Jenee Nichols and Ariel Terrell – which, in Friday's prelims, posted the nation's fastest time run this season by a girls' team (45.74). In Saturday's final, Westlake showed its depth as the B-team – Kayla Stinson, Alexandria Johnson, Nyambi Shoates and Mia Phillips – finished second to the A-team in the event – 45.92 to 47.61.
Mill Creek was paced by Malayshia George, who has the nation's fastest time in the 400 meters (53.40). Saturday, George set a state record in the event by running 53.63. McEachern, which placed fourth in the team standings, set a state record in the 1,600-meter relay in a time of 3:45.16.
Class AAAAA
Dunwoody won its first team title since 2003 (AAAA) by racking up 69.33 points, led by wins by Lauren Jackson in the 400 and 800 meters, and the Wildcats' 1,600-meter relay team. Kell finished second with 44 points, 31 of which were scored by senior Kendall Williams, giving her a share of the overall high point award. Williams broke her own state record in the 100-meter hurdles in a time of 13.23, which is the nation's fastest time this season.
Class AAAA
Marist, a power in cross country, won its first state title in track and field, scoring 57.50 points to hold off Redan (50), last year's champs. Morgan Ilse led the War Eagles by winning the 1,600 and 3,200 meters.
Class AAA
Cedar Grove won the school's first track and field state title by scoring the most points of any team in the state, 89. The Saints were paced by twins Christian and Kayla Pryor. Christian Pryor, who earned a share of the award for most points scored on the track with Westlake's Martin, won the 400 and 800 meters. Kayla Pryor finished second to her sister in the 400 and won the 300-meter hurdles. They were both members of the Saints' first-place 1,600-meter relay team.
Class AA
Westminster won its first track and field title since 2000 as Sahara Fletcher won the 800 and 1,600 meters to lead the way to a two-point win over Greater Atlanta Christian, 72-70. GAC was led by Maileka Slayton, who won the 100 and 200 meters.
Class A-Private
Our Lady of Mercy won its first championship since going back to back in 2006 and 2007. The Bobcats were led by senior Morgan McClure and sophomore Leah Banks. McClure finished second in the 400 and 800 meters, while Banks won the 200 and finished second in the 100 and the long jump. She won a share – with Kell's Williams – of the award for most total points scored in the meet, matching the feat of her male counterpart at OLM, Christian Coleman, who won that award at last week's boys championships.
Class A-Public
Marion County won the school's first girls track title, led by Aiyanna Crumbley's victories in both the 100- and 300-meter hurdles, Jada Gardner's 400 meter title and a first-place finish by the 1,600 meter relay team.

When Katy Perry called into an Australian radio station this week, she probably didn't think she'd be engaging in a civil rights discussion with a top politician.
While Katy was on the phone with Australia's 2DayFM to talk about her new single "Roar," the station connected her with Tony Abbott, the leader of Australia's Liberal Party, who may be elected prime minister in that country's upcoming election, which takes place on September 7. Abbott gushed about how much his daughters loved Katy's music, and then asked her when she'd be coming to Australia.
"Ah, c'mon that's not a political question, let's talk about gay marriage!" Katy replied. When Abbott noted that all of sudden, Katy seemed to be interviewing him , she exclaimed, "Yeah, buddy, that's right! Love is equal! Whoo-hoo! "
When the 2DayFM host explained that Abbott was not a supporter of gay marriage -- something Katy was likely well aware of before the call was connected -- Katy replied, "Yeah, well, um, I love you as a human being, but I can't give you my vote, then." She added, "I still wanna meet your daughters!"
Of course, the point is moot, since Katy can't vote in Australia...she's not a citizen. The current prime minister of Australia, Abbott's opponent, has vowed to introduce a bill legalizing gay marriage if he's re-elected.
Abbott then said he was interested in using Katy's song "Hot 'N Cold" as his campaign song, leading the singer to laugh, "I don't know if that's the best song we can pick for a politician!" She ended the call by saying she'd like to have lunch with Abbott when she comes to Australia later this year.

A 3K walk raises funds for those dealing with homelessness, lack of clean water and little access to medical care in Haiti.
The Quinn Chapel American Methodist Episcopal Church in Forest Park hosted the event on Saturday at Glenwood Gardens Park.
More than 100 people took part in the event raising more than $10,000 to send to Haiti.
Organizers say the funds will be used to help victims of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti who are still dealing with various issues.
"Naturally, public attention moved onto the next world catastrophe," explains Lajuana Miller, a fundraiser for the Walk for Haiti. "To some extent, if you're not on the news all the time, we as Americans forget what you're going through. Today, as we stand, more than 300 thousand people are living in temporary housing and tents in Haiti. If ever there was a place that needed help, it was Haiti."
Organizers say that the money will reach Haitians in need thanks to partners from Matthew 25 Ministries and the African Methodist Episcopal Church which has an orphanage in Haiti.
