points of interest

1. A new interactive calculator from the Center for Economic and Policy Research illustrates the effects of several different policy options on the debt burden that the United States will face in 2020. (notice that even in the baseline case (President Obama's proposed budget), the U.S. debt-to-GDP ratio in 2020 will be less than the current debt-to GDP ratio for many countries)

2. An insightful follow up on questions of the much-discussed federal deficit

3. What the BP oil spill would look like where you live

4. oil-spills/disasters that get less attention: Nigerian edition

5. affordable retirement locations

6. watch an 8-month year old baby react to cochlear implant activation. This blew me away
