WILMINGTON One of Earth's last frontiers lies off the Carolinas coast, on the cold, black ocean bottom 1,200 feet below the waves.
Scientists are just beginning to explore deep-water coral reefs, possibly millions of years old, that stretch from North Carolina to Florida. They form pristine oases, alive with fish, crabs and weird creatures that one researcher says "look like Dr. Seuss went crazy down there."
The discoveries have caught the attention of the Bush administration, which is reported to be interested in protecting 25,000 square miles of reefs off the Southeast as a national monument.
President Bush also called this month for more offshore oil and gas exploration. A federal moratorium now prohibits drilling along most of the U.S. coastline until 2012, and political opposition in North Carolina remains strong. But momentum to lift the ban is growing with the price of gasoline.
Scientists say drilling, and to a greater extent deep-sea trawling, threaten deep-water corals worldwide. The risk in N.C. waters appears smaller: The reefs aren't in areas that have interested oil companies, and regulators have struck a potential balance with fishermen.
Still, a monument would forever protect a national treasure that scientists are just getting to know.
"We started out pretty much knowing almost nothing about those coral banks except that they existed," says UNC Wilmington researcher Steve Ross.
Ross leads a multi-agency team of researchers who, since 2000, have made 65 dives to the deep reefs off the Southeastern coast. Locked into self-propelled, acrylic-domed craft called submersibles, they descend into darkness like astronauts in a lunar lander.
"Every time, it's just magical," says educator Liz Baird of the N.C. Museum of Natural Sciences, who has made the 25-minute trip to the bottom a half-dozen times.
The turquoise water of the Gulf Stream deepens to blue and then black as the tiny craft descends, she says, leaving a trail of silver bubbles. On the bottom, the submersible's lights blink on amid tangled mounds of white coral, called Lophelia pertusa, the most common type off our coast. They remind Baird of laurel thickets in the N.C. mountains, but with spindly crabs waving their claws among the branches.
"I have not gotten enough of it," she says of the dives. "Every one of them leaves me amazed at what I've seen, wanting to go again. It's such an undiscovered resource for North Carolina and really the United States. People know about the Grand Canyon, but they rarely hear about the Lophelia banks."
Small wonder: No more than 40 people have ever seen them.
'Into the wilderness'
Science, in fact, knows more about the surface of the moon than it does about the bottom of the Atlantic. Fewer than 100 square miles of the Southeastern coral reefs, believed to be nearly as large as South Carolina, have been properly mapped.
"We're going off into the wilderness, basically blind, just like Lewis and Clark in a sense," Ross says. "In some cases, they knew more than we did."
Like the better known, colorful reefs found in shallow, tropical waters, the stony mounds of deep-water corals attract a kaleidoscope of life.
In less than a decade, researchers have documented individual corals 2,500 years old, making them the oldest animals on Earth. They've found dozens of new species, from eels to sea stars.
Cancer-fighting and anti-inflammatory drugs extracted from deep-sea sponges and other reef animals are under development, and researchers expect to find more medicinal uses.
Scientists preoccupied with mapping the bottom and recording species are still trying to learn what larger role the coral reefs play in the oceans.
Among the reefs' most promising uses: as a living history of the seas. Some long-lived coral species form growth rings the way trees do. Their skeletons can reveal centuries of past water temperatures, pollutants and currents.
Deep-ocean currents have a profound effect on the world's climate. Understanding past patterns, researchers say, could provide insights into the future of a warming world.
Experts also know that deep reefs are fragile. The skeletons of dead corals, which can form mounds up to 1,000 feet tall, are hard but brittle. They grow slowly and don't recover easily, if at all, from disturbance.
One threat comes from ocean water itself, which is becoming more acidic as the seas absorb excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Acidic water can block corals' ability to build their calcium carbonate skeletons, slowing or stopping their growth.
Fishing trawlers have already reduced deep-sea coral reefs to rubble in much of the world, including Florida.
"If this happened on land, there would be outcry beyond belief," says Murray Roberts, a Scotland-based coral expert on fellowship in Wilmington. "But the fact that these are hidden lets it go on."
New finds
Deep-water coral reefs are found off continental shorelines worldwide. Those on the Southeast's Blake Plateau were discovered in the 1880s. Stretching for miles, those reefs are likely the most extensive in the country, Ross says.
Reaching them, especially in the ill-tempered weather off the Carolinas, took leaps of technology.
With a click of his computer mouse, Ross can now pull up fish-level views of the ocean bottom, a moonscape of undersea mountains, canyons and craters whipped by powerful currents.
Submersibles like those Ross and Baird have used to explore the bottom bristle with mechanical grabbing arms, cameras and suction devices to collect specimens.
Despite dozens of dives, Ross nearly always encounters something new – not all of it of research value. A territorial swordfish once attacked his submersible, its huge eye glaring through a porthole.
The reefs themselves are lush with invertebrates: urchins, anemones, sea stars. Crabs climb coral branches to poise with open claws, waiting for the current to bring small fish their way.
Fish once regarded as rare are common there. Of the 99 species identified – more than any other deep-sea coral reefs in the world – 19 percent had never been found at such depths or in this region. Three were entirely new to science.
Those findings came at a cost. A submersible-equipped research vessel costs $30,000 a day to book. After recent federal budget cuts, Ross says, "there's just not any money."
"You're just so disappointed that you can't do more," he says. "The money's not there, the time's not there. We're just scratching the surface."
His next research focus will be the Gulf of Mexico, to help guide the management of oil and gas exploration there.
Threats to the reefs
Oil companies' interest in the N.C. coast in the late 1980s prompted scientific studies of The Point, a biologically rich area off Cape Hatteras that is outside the likely boundaries of a national monument. Eventually the research extended south, to a different ecosystem built around coral reefs.
Federal estimates say the Southeastern coast holds about 19 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, slightly less than the United States uses in a year. Its 1.9 billion barrels of oil would be enough to supply the nation for about three months.
Ross, a fish scientist who researched The Point years ago, says drillers now do a better job of controlling the mud and sediment that can bury life on the ocean bottom. Environmental studies would be required before any drilling begins, and federal policy allows no drilling into reefs.
More worrisome, scientists say, is the potential of fishing trawlers to raze the reefs. Deep-sea corals from New Zealand to Florida's Oculina Banks have been destroyed by the heavy, bottom-tilling nets.
Apart from fishing, interest in deep-water fish farming and undersea mining is also growing, says Douglas Rader, an N.C.-based scientist for the Environmental Defense Fund.
"The push is on to exploit deep water resources," Rader says. "The important point is that today this ancient resource is more or less intact, and we have the opportunity to protect it against the full suite of development threats."
Rader and other scientists believe there is an opportunity for preservation.
The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council, which oversees federal water, has proposed protecting reefs in four areas from North Carolina to Florida because the corals form important fish habitat.
The reefs are now only lightly fished, and the new rules would allow that to continue. But other commercially profitable fish, crabs and shrimp also live among the reefs and have yet to be tapped.
A final decision on the habitat designation is expected early next year.
More than 120 scientists petitioned the president last month to protect the reefs as a national monument. Federal law gives presidents the right to preserve "objects of scientific interest."
Conservationists praised Bush for a national monument he named in 2006, a nearly 140,000-square-mile marine reserve in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. Doing the same for the Southeastern reefs would protect them permanently and could increase research money.
Kristen Hellmer, a spokeswoman for the White House's Council on Environmental Quality, says "anything out there now is just an idea."
The secrets of the coral reefs – their unknown benefits to people and planet – are what make their rich source of life worth protecting, Ross says. Preserve them, he says, for the same reason Americans protected the Florida Keys or the California redwoods: Because they might someday preserve us.

We would like to invite you to attend the Fido Fiesta from 3:30-8:30 p.m. Saturday at Elk Creek Winery.
There will be silent auctions, in house raffles, a private wine tasting tour by reservation only and musical entertainment by Jake Walls throughout the evening. Proceeds will go towards completion and operation of the Owen County dog shelter which will be operated by Owen County Friends of Animals Inc. under a contractual agreement with the county.
Let's get one thing straight first – I'm not a racist.
I'm a Democrat and more likely to be accused of being a member of "the liberal media" than a conservative mole.
Last week, two ladies called me following the election of Barack Obama and the publication of our election edition.
They both said they were African-American who live in Owen County.
They both wanted to know why the paper chose to run a picture of John McCain on the front page instead of announcing the presidential victory of Barack Obama.
The year was 1953. A small school in Milan, Ind., and its young coach prepared for the upcoming season.
The expectations were high following a trip to the final four the year before. Even with four returning starters, no one could have imagined what happened.
Milan High School, with an enrollment of 161, finished off the 1953-54 season by doing what many believed to be impossible.
The Indians won the Indiana High School basketball championship. Milan remains the smallest school to ever claim the title.
How did they do it?
I just wanted to let the employee at (a local institution) that was worried about the "coon" running for president – he's your president now.
At another business, my son was told "speak up – just because we're all white doesn't mean you can't speak up"
It's time for a change!
I should have written this sooner. But with all the recent changes we have seen, I feel there is not a better time than now.
Every school night, my three girls – twins age 5 and another daughter age 13 – come to me and ask, "Mom, is this OK?"
I say what I think is appropriate.
We go through a regular routine. My 13-year-old comes to me and asks is this OK. I say I think so.
We expect a peaceful exchange of power. Once a presidential term is complete, he/she steps down and someone else steps up to take their place – no guns, no violence, no military take-over. It seems typical, completely natural. But it is really amazing that every four years we have the opportunity to overhaul our government.
The organizers would like to thank everyone for their help and cooperation in this year's high school mock election. We feel it is very important to inform our students on the issues and candidates, and although most of our students cannot vote in tomorrow's election, the winner of this election will affect all of our students as they enter college, the military or the workforce in the next four years. Again, thank you for your participation and cooperation over the last few weeks.
And now for the news you have all been waiting for:
There is an older couple in my neighborhood. They are nice enough. Both of them are retired and stay pretty much to themselves most of the time.
Since we only moved to the neighborhood a few weeks ago, my wife, Kellee, asked the lady neighbor if we could expect a lot of trick-or-treaters this Halloween.
I was kinda shocked by their answer.
My wife was told that they don't participate in trick-or-treat – not because of a religious belief against Halloween but simply because they don't want to hand out candy.

After turning off water, disconnecting power, and sucking water out of the tub and drain hose with a shop vac, I removed the front kick panel (took out two sheet metal screws). Then I removed two mounting screws from the pump assembly, and disconnected two hose clamps (inlet and outlet hoses) with a pair of pliers. Very simple, very easy. The pain in the fanny came when I tried to reattach the hoses. The hose clamps apparently require either a special tool or a technique I'm not familiar with. I finally tossed them and purchased two standard screw and band hose clamps which made the final connections a breeze. The surprise came when I found that the motor had seized because of a pair of tweezers that had somehow worked into the motor impeller. Free of tweezers and coins, the new motor works great! To quote another one of your contributors: wife happy!

Virtual Hosting With PureFTPd And MySQL (Incl. Quota And Bandwidth Management) On Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) - Page 2
Submitted by falko (Contact Author) (Forums) on Wed, 2010-01-27 19:04. ::
6 Populate The Database And Test
To populate the database you can use the MySQL shell:
mysql -u root -p
USE pureftpd;
Now we create the user exampleuser with the status 1 (which means his ftp account is active), the password secret (which will be stored encrypted using MySQL's MD5 function), the UID and GID 2001 (use the userid and groupid of the user/group you created at the end of step two!), the home directory /home/www.example.com, an upload and download bandwidth of 100 KB/sec. (kilobytes per second), and a quota of 50 MB:
INSERT INTO `ftpd` (`User`, `status`, `Password`, `Uid`, `Gid`, `Dir`, `ULBandwidth`, `DLBandwidth`, `comment`, `ipaccess`, `QuotaSize`, `QuotaFiles`) VALUES ('exampleuser', '1', MD5('secret'), '2001', '2001', '/home/www.example.com', '100', '100', '', '*', '50', '0');
Now open your FTP client program on your work station (something like FileZilla, WS_FTP, SmartFTP or gFTP) and try to connect. As hostname you use server1.example.com (or the IP address of the system), the username is exampleuser, and the password is secret.
If you are able to connect - congratulations! If not, something went wrong.
Now, if you run
ls -l /home
you should see that the directory /home/www.example.com (exampleuser's home directory) has been automatically created, and it is owned by ftpuser and ftpgroup (the user/group we created at the end of step two):
root@server1:~# ls -l /home
7 Database Administration
For most people it is easier if they have a graphical front-end to MySQL; therefore you can also use phpMyAdmin (in this example under http://server1.example.com/phpmyadmin/) to administrate the pureftpd database.
Whenever you want to create a new user, you have to create an entry in the table ftpd so I will explain the columns of this table here:
ftpd Table:
8 Anonymous FTP
If you want to create an anonymous ftp account (an ftp account that everybody can login to without a password), you can do it like this:
First create a user ftp (with the homedir /home/ftp) and group ftp:
groupadd ftp
Then create the file /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/NoAnonymous which contains the string no:
echo "no" > /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/NoAnonymous
With this configuration, PureFTPd will allow anonymous logins.
Restart PureFTPd:
/etc/init.d/pure-ftpd-mysql restart
Then we create the directory /home/ftp/incoming which will allow anonymous users to upload files. We will give the /home/ftp/incoming directory permissions of 311 so that users can upload, but not see or download any files in that directory.

Hello and thanks for stopping by. Sorry about the lack of a pretty web site, it's currently being worked on. There's a million reasons why it's not up yet, but let's just get down to business...
What do I do?
I specialize in Media Outreach (aka "PR"), community engagement and social media in the games industry.
For who?
The games industry is my key focus, but I also handle entertainment products, (a recent example, the Scalers toys from NECA.
I've also helped promote wearables (Microsoft's SPOT watch for ex.) and PC hardware (NVIDIA graphics processors and media player initiatives).
I've helped on projects with Microsoft Game Studios, Disney (formerly Buena Vista Games), EA Sports and many others. Large or small, I'm happy to work with anyone who has an awesome product they want to tell the world about.
How can I help you?
Have a product you're looking to get the word out about? Have you announced a product, but nobody in the media seems to care?
That's what I'm here to help you with - I work with "traditional" media (print & online press), to spread the word, and, I work with you to target non-traditional outlets to reach out to and get talking about your product.
Maybe it's social media communities, or perhaps its online forums, or both...I work with you to figure out who's interested in your product, and get them info so they'll spread the word for you.
Want to chat more?
I'm always happy to discuss products, offer advice and see how we can work together. Feel free to contact me at ted (at) calico-media.com
Twitter? Sure... just follow @robotdeathbear

Nicole Galland is the author of: The Fool's Tale, Revenge of the Rose, Crossed: A Tale of the Fourth Crusade and I, Iago. After growing up on Martha's Vineyard and graduating with honors from Harvard, she divided most of the next 16 years between California and New York City before returning to the Vineyard to stay. During those 16 years she variously made her living in theatre, screenwriting, magazine publishing, grad-schooling, teaching, temping, and random other enterprises. She is the co-founder of Shakespeare for the Masses, a project that irreverently makes the Bard accessible to the Bardophobics of the world.
SF Signal is delighted to have the opportunity to talk with Nicole Galland, author of one of the seven authors of the group-authored trilogy The Mongoliad. She takes time out with us to talk about the evolution of The Mongoliad concept, the delights of cross-country composition via Skype, and how both a methods of writing and storylines evolve over time.
SF SIGNAL: How did the idea of The Mongoliad originally develop?
NICOLE GALLAND: My understanding is that the guys wanted to create a story set in the 1300's as a screenplay (it was to be called Gallowglass), and somehow that evolved in reverse chronological order to the tumultuous events in Europe, 1241. As that shift was happening, they decided to pursue technological innovation in the way the story was deliverable in non-book form.

Recently by Dr. David Brownstein: Avoid Sucralose
For years, I have been lecturing and writing about the nonsensical argument the conventional powers-that-be claim that lowering salt in the diet will reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease. The data has never been shown that lowering salt intake to ridiculously low levels of 1,500mg/day will reduce your risk of heart disease. In fact, many studies show that lowering your salt intake to these levels will cause more heart attacks and mortality. Furthermore, low salt diets will lead to elevated insulin levels. Finally, low salt diets do not significantly lower blood pressure. More information about this can be found in my book, Salt Your Way To Health.
A recent study in JAMA (November 23/30, 2011-Vol. 306, No. 20) looked at the association between sodium excretion and cardiovascular events in patients with established cardiovascular events or diabetes. The authors studied nearly 29,000 adults and found cardiovascular death was increased among those with the lowest and the highest sodium excretion.
Sodium excretion is tied to how much sodium (or salt) is ingested. The more salt that is ingested the more sodium that is excreted in the urine. The reverse is true also; the less sodium ingested, the less sodium excreted. A crude estimate can be made that the amount of sodium ingested is equal to the amount of sodium excreted (as long as someone is not sodium deficient).
We have been told we are ingesting too much salt. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) states, "Americans consume unhealthy amounts of sodium in their food, far exceeding public health recommendations. Consuming too much sodium is a concern for all individuals, as it increases the risk for high blood pressure, a serious health condition that is avoidable and can lead to a variety of diseases. Analysts estimate that population-wide reductions in sodium could prevent more than 100,000 deaths annually."
David Brownstein, M.D. is a Board-Certified family physician and is one of the foremost practitioners of holistic medicine. He is the Medical Director of the Center for Holistic Medicine in West Bloomfield, MI. Dr. Brownstein has lectured internationally to physicians and others about his success in using natural hormones and nutritional therapies in his practice.

|I just bought 40 lbs for 1.69 a lb.
Just opened the grocery flyer for today and they are on sale for 4.98 a lb. Yowza!
How much are they in your neck of the woods now?
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by Marilyn_Sue (My Page) on Tue, Oct 16, 12 at 17:26
|I bought a big pack of them today at Sam's Club for $1.77 a pound. Sometimes they are cheaper than that at Meijer.
|This week there was a special for bone in chicken breasts for $.99 a pound.....that translates to about $1.50 a pound for bone less skinless, plus some labor....but I get the skin and bones for stock!!
|I don't buy Perdue but their Skinless, Boneless Chicken Breasts are the least expensive in my store today at $4.89/lb.
|BSCBs are $1.99/lb. at Wegmans food store through the end of 2012. I haven't bought any so don't know how good they are.
|I wouldn't have gone for THAT kinda poundage... but GREAT price. I'll always buy some when price is right... though not necessarily my favorite!?! I prefer bone-in chicken breasts or tenders. Boneless/skinless breasts seem to go from perfect to hockey puck if ya blink too long?!?
- Posted by publickman (My Page) on Tue, Oct 16, 12 at 18:19
|I don't usually check for BSCB because I prefer ones with bones and skin, and the last of those we bought were $1.49 a pound. I put them in the smoker on Sunday with a boneless turkey breast and some spicy Italian sausage so that I could make quick meals with them this week. I'm afraid boneless skinless chicken breasts would dry up in the smoker, but the ones I cooked on Sunday came out very moist and with a great flavor. I use them in pasta salad that I make with a lot of pickled Italian vegetables plus an olive salad (in a jar) that is supposed to be used to make muffaletta. The dishes that I made with BSCB are actually a lot more work than the other chicken dishes I make, which is another reason I do not buy them often.
|I can get Purdue on sale for $2.49 per lb...... but I prefer the Bell & Evans which is $3.00+ per lb on sale (and $6.99 not on sale).
- Posted by foodonastump (My Page) on Tue, Oct 16, 12 at 20:42
|Probably one of the most variable-priced staples I can think of. Just a quick check online of two stores where I regularly shop, one has family pack on sale for $1.99/lb (no brand name but I've not had an issue with their "house chicken") versus $7.49/lb for Bell & Evans at the other store. $1.99/lb does seem to be a common sale price for BSCB, though I usually end up spending a bit more.
|wow, what crazy prices for chicken breast. I also like the bone in pieces better, I can render a BSCB inedible in no time flat, dry and bland. It's my specialty, LOL.
Anyway, bone in chicken breast is on sale at my local independent grocer for $1.59 a pound this week. Leg quarters are 59 cents in another store in a nearby town, but you have to buy 10 pounds.
|Cheapest I can get them is about $12/kg. It always cracks me up when you guys complain about how expensive things are there :-)

Hitting the gym is about to get a whole lot greener as SportsArt Fitness just unveiled an energy-generating exercise machine that produces watts as you work out! The company's new S770 Pinnacle Trainer features a kinetic energy-generating design that feeds excess electricity back into the power grid. The machine can generate up to 2,000 watts during use, and it can potentially save up to $3,000 in utility bills each year.
The machine utilizes "forward/backward and medial/lateral" motion to improve core stability and balance, and it activates various muscle groups for a complete workout. The new machine also has a monitor for heart rate, and it is completely powered by the kinetic energy generated during a workout – all one needs to do is start exercising.
SportsArt Fitness is marketing their new product as one of the first of its kind. "The power inverter attached to the Green System is about the size of a stereo receiver and operates on 208 – 240 VAC power," says Bob Baumgartner, Product Manager for SportsArt Fitness. "The product feels and acts like any other cardio product… but what happens behind the scenes is not like any other cardio product."
This S770 is also a great option for those who prefer to set up their own home gym – it represents a good long-term monetary investment, and it's a huge step forward for environmental sustainability. Hopefully we'll see more energy-generating exercise equipment in the future!

We've already heard two songs from St. Vincent's hotly anticipated self-titled fourth LP — "Birth In Reverse" and "Digital Witness" — and today, we've got a third. "Prince Johnny" is a luxuriant, rhythmic ballad with a melancholic, detailed narrative, and it puts Annie Clark's dynamic voice on full display. It's my favorite of the three songs that have so far surfaced, and you should definitely listen to it.

Saab Automobile Parts North America And General Motors Company Enter Warranty Services Agreement
DETROIT, Dec. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Saab Automobile Parts North America (SPNA), the exclusive provider of Saab Genuine Parts and Accessories to the U.S. and Canadian markets, and General Motors Company (GM) have entered into a Warranty Services Agreement that authorizes SPNA to provide warranty administration and related services through Saab's network of Warranty Service Providers for model year 2009 and prior Saab vehicles still covered under the GM limited warranty. The agreement permits Saab owners the opportunity to have their vehicles repaired by Saab factory trained technicians using Saab Genuine Parts by a nationwide network of Warranty Service Providers.
Tim Colbeck, President and CEO of Saab Automobile Parts North America, said: "Our agreement with General Motors is an important step in supporting Saab owners in North America and ensuring they have access to Saab Genuine Parts, service programs and technical support for years to come."
The transition of warranty administration services from GM to SPNA commenced on December 17, 2012. Geographically, the agreement covers all of the United States and Canada. It will not affect GM's original manufacturer limited warranty coverage. All scheduled maintenance, roadside assistance, loaner vehicle allowances and Certified Pre-Owned coverage remain in effect.
Saab Warranty Service Providers will have a Saab dedicated claims processing team and access to technical experts to assist with the timely completion of necessary maintenance and repairs. To ensure Saab expertise is available in North America, the agreement calls for a Technical Assistance Center (TAC) to be established. The TAC line will be available to all Warranty Service Providers requiring technical support from the SPNA team of experts. The Saab Warranty Services Agreement provides for the best overall customer ownership experience.The agreement also calls for the establishment of a North America Customer Assistance Center (CAC). All Saab owners will benefit from the CAC which will be available for customer facing interactions early next year.

I usually try to approach life with the view that everything happens for a reason and rely on the Seinfeld-ian "Even Steven" concept that if one bad thing happens, something good will happen that will even it all out. But recently these approaches have failed me as our house has become one huge money pit, multiple systems in my car failed, and Murphy's law has shined down on me a few too many times. I found myself so stressed that I could not sleep, and so bogged down with responsibilities and problems that I felt exhausted. So I searched for some inspiration to get me through this.
Embracing the Worst
Eventually I was reminded of the wise words of a colleague. The colleague was working with a client who feared contracting a virus from touching door knobs and other potential sources of germs and therefore spent hours washing his hands and using hand sanitizer. My colleague was doing exposure and response prevention with the client—-having the client gradually exposed himself to potential sources of germs and not engage in washing or using hand sanitizer. At one point in the therapy, the client caught a stomach flu after doing an exposure. Suddenly the client's fears were being realized.
So I am now trying to embrace the figurative diarrhea that is being thrown at me. My car and house may be falling down around me. My kid may be throwing tantrums if we don't watch "Finding Nemo" for a 5th time that day, and there may be a few more bad things to come. But in the long-run it will be okay and if I just embrace these bad things rather than becoming bogged down by them, I'll be better able to deal with them and feel less stressed. After all, diarrhea happens to the best of us and the most important thing is that we find a way to cope with it that doesn't make us even more miserable.

The Federal Government's Long-Term Fiscal Outlook:
Fall 2009 Update
GAO-10-137SP: Published: Oct 15, 2009. Publicly Released: Oct 15, 2009.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-9142
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Since 1992, GAO has published long-term fiscal simulations of what might happen to federal deficits and debt levels under varying policy assumptions. We developed our long-term model in response to a bipartisan request from Members of Congress who were concerned about the long-term effects of fiscal policy. GAO runs two simulations: (1) "Baseline Extended" follows the Congressional Budget Office's (CBO) August baseline estimates for the first 10 years and then simply holds revenue and spending other than large entitlement programs constant as a share of gross domestic product (GDP). (2) The "Alternative" simulation is based on historical trends and policy preferences. Discretionary spending grows with GDP rather than inflation during the first 10 years, Medicare physician payment rates are not reduced as in CBO's baseline, all tax provisions are extended to 2019, and beginning with this update, the alternative minimum tax (AMT) exemption amount is indexed to inflation through 2019; revenues are then brought back to their historical level. This update incorporates the most recent projections from the Social Security and Medicare Trustees, and from CBO.
Weaknesses in the economy and financial markets--and the government's response to them--have contributed to near-term increases in federal deficits, which reached a record level in fiscal year 2009. While a lot of attention has been given to the recent fiscal deterioration, the federal government faces even larger fiscal challenges that will persist long after the return of financial stability and economic growth. GAO's simulations continue to show escalating levels of debt that illustrate that the long-term fiscal outlook remains unsustainable. In little over 10 years, debt held by the public as a percent of GDP under our Alternative simulation is projected to exceed the historical high reached in the aftermath of World War II and grow at a steady rate thereafter. These fiscal challenges are driven by health care cost growth and demographic trends. Absent reform, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid will account for a growing share of the economy in coming years. The longer action to deal with the nation's long-term fiscal outlook is delayed, the larger the changes will need to be, increasing the likelihood that they will be disruptive and destabilizing.

The Dear Leader has Decided to pause – briefly – for a perfunctory congressional approval before triggering what could be TEOTWAWKI – the end of the world as we know it – by lobbing bombs at Syria. Which will likely result in Syria (and perhaps Iran, allied with Syria) lobbing bombs at Israel, the proxy poodle (or is it the reverse?) of the United State ("s" left off in the interests of accuracy). Whereupon the entire region – then the world – may well go up in flames. At least, until it runs out of oil.
Yet, "we" – meaning, they – Dear Leader and his relative handful of minions who control the missiles, the ships and "the troops" – appear determined to pursue this course nonetheless. Despite the obvious implications – and in spite of the equally obvious horn o' plenty of reasons not to do it. Wait. Check that. There is a reason – several of them, actually. Just not the ones publicly stated. No one but a madman could entertain the idea of deliberately batting at a hornet's nest that one could just as easily walk around. What goes on inside Syria may be tragic, but it's not our tragedy. We – that is, the Dear Leader, et al, – are neither wanted nor requested – and have about as much right to lob bombs at the Syrian government over its alleged abuse of its people as Syria has to lob bombs at America over its government's abuses of its people – none of them mere assertions based on iffy "intel" but admitted to, openly, by its government. For instance, rendition. And torture as state policy. Indefinite detention. And that's only the recent stuff. Let's not forget who helped "Saddam" gas Iranians back in the '80s. Or helped violently depose the "democratically" elected leader of Iran – ushering in the Shah and his Savak. "We" are in no position to lecture anyone about "human rights." Much less bomb them over it.
Besides which, it would serve no purpose other than to cause the people over there – aka, the "evildoers" – to hate us even more. Not because of "our freedoms" (those being long gone) but for the simple, obvious reason that this country is an arrogant, know-nothing bully with big biceps and a very, very small brain.
Unless the shit statue-carving madmen in charge aren't nuts – and have a different purpose in mind.
Perhaps that purpose is $10 gas.
They know perfectly well this is the likely result of "intervening" in Syria. And what it would mean. A catastrophe, economic and human.A political debacle, too – assuming they will ever have to account to the electorate, whom they clearly hold in increasingly obvious contempt.
Yet, they champ at the bit.
One cannot make sense of it – unless one views it from their perspective.
Because it would achieve, at a stroke, everything they have been trying to implement, piecemeal, and with only mixed results, for decades (if not longer). It would render 95 percent of the population destitute, dependent, freaked-out scared – and most of all, immobile – within a matter of days.The populace would be ready, then. One must never forget the advice of that latter-day Machiavelli, Rahm Emanuel: You never want to let a crisis got to waste.

Fulham boss Martin Jol admitted his delight at watching his side seal three points against Aston Villa thanks to a late Chris Baird winner.

The defender got a deft touch to John Arne Riise's near-post corner to beat goalkeeper Brad Guzan and deny Villa what looked increasingly like a battling point.
The Cottagers had failed to convert a hatful of chances during the match, but the Dutchman was relieved in the end as his side secured a 10th win in their last 14 Premier League games at home.
He told Sky Sports: "There was a big relief (when the ball hit the back of the net).
"Of course, if you play against this style with a diamond formation, you have to punish them and we tried to do that.
"Certainly on the ball we were great, but off the ball we weren't as good, especially in the second half.
"We talked about set-pieces before the game and he (Baird) is not the biggest, but he's great in the air, so I really thought it was going to be his day today although he scored in a different way."
Jol also praised the recovery of Mahamadou Diarra after knee surgery. The Mali midfielder came on as a second-half substitute and immediately looked comfortable.
Jol said: "The medical staff thought he was going to be out for three or four weeks, but after the operation it could have been more. He really has made an excellent recovery and played again today."

Sherri Shepherd explains how a diabetes diagnosis saved her
By SHERRI SHEPHERD April 25, 2013 12:29AM
Sherri Shepherd
Article Extras
Updated: April 25, 2013 10:04AM
I am a Type 2 diabetic. Before you start feeling that wave of sympathy and start praying that God take the diabetes away from me … hold on. I actually want to say thank you to diabetes. Diabetes could've killed me, but it saved my life.
I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2007, right before I was offered the co-host position on "The View." My years of stuffing my face with whatever fried, floured or sugared foods I could eat had finally caught up to me. I spent years not thinking about the risk of diabetes at all, despite it running rampant in my family — even after it took my mother's life at the age of 41.
See, diabetes and I go way, way back. Almost everyone in my family had it. Except they didn't call it diabetes, they called it "the sugar" — how dangerous could diabetes possibly be with such a cute name? It sounded quite harmless. But we were clearly not making the connection between the disease and its consequences: the amputations, the loss of sight, the heart disease. Even when I started having all of the obvious symptoms, I was still in denial about diabetes.
I remember one day, after eating a plate full of pancakes dripping with butter and syrup alongside bacon AND sausage, and then going home to make a bowl full of my favorite pesto pasta, I suddenly got an image of my 4-year-old son Jeffrey in his room, crying. He was trying to figure out where heaven was, because that's where everyone said Mommy was.
That was a wakeup call for me. I knew then that I needed to open my eyes and take responsibility for the choices I was making. I had to find a way to control my diabetes.
Fast forward six years later. I'm now in the best shape of my life because I made a commitment to change. I started challenging myself to look at eating a different way. I knew I had to make eating work for me. Instead of sugary juices, I opted for seltzer water spruced up with fruit. Instead of cheeseburger and fries, I now go with a huge kale salad laced with feta cheese, mango slices and a homemade dressing. Giving up my beloved pancakes and syrup was hard, but knowing that oatmeal with blueberries and walnuts gave me continuous energy to run around with Jeffrey was a big consolation.
I am now sticking to a daily regimen of healthy eating and exercise that makes me feel great. And it will help me protect my health for the long haul. My son is now 8 years old, and doesn't have to worry about Mommy being in heaven.
Thanks, diabetes.
Sherri Shepherd will be speaking at the University of Chicago Medicine Kovler Diabetes Center's 7th Annual "Living Well with Diabetes" event on April 27 about the April 30 release of her book, Plan D: How to Lose Weight and Beat Diabetes (Even if You Don't Have It).
