LOL.....there is hope!

>>>Europeans find 32 new planets outside solar system<<<

Six of the newly found planets are several times bigger than Earth, increasing the population of so-called super-Earths by more than 30 percent. Most planets discovered so far are far bigger, Jupiter-sized or even larger.

Two of the newly discovered planets were as small as five times the size of Earth and one was up to five times larger than Jupiter.

WASHINGTON–U.S. Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke Monday called for the United States to whittle down its record-high deficits and for countries like China to get their consumers to spend more – to combat skewed global trade and investment flows that contributed to the financial crisis.

Bernanke's remarks to a Fed conference in Santa Barbara, Calif., comes days after the federal government Friday reported a $1.42-trillion (U.S.) deficit for the 2009 fiscal year that ended Sept. 30. The previous year's deficit was $459 billion.
