I do see good news in the economy.  http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/daily-ticker/one-big-risk-could-derail-u-economy-133949401.html

Ward McCarthy, managing director and chief financial economist of the fixed income division at Jefferies, says yes. But it's really just the latest example. McCarthy sees fiscal policy as "the single biggest impediment to the U.S. economy."
"If you look at corporate balance sheets, they are in great shape," he tells The Daily Ticker. "Consumers have been doing a good job of getting their balance sheets in line. We continue to see job growth. So the economy is poised to grow a lot faster, but what we need to do is unleash all this potential economic energy to get the obstacles out of the way and unfortunately most of those obstacles reside in Washington."

Astronomers reported that there could be as many as 40 billion habitable Earth-size planets in the galaxy, based on a new analysis of data fromNASA's Kepler spacecraft.
One out of every five sunlike stars in the galaxy has a planet the size of Earth circling it in the Goldilocks zone — not too hot, not too cold — where surface temperatures should be compatible with liquid water, according to a herculean three-year calculation based on data from the Kepler spacecraft by Erik Petigura, a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley.

It could be more coal and gas out there on those worlds?
Maybe we will build stargates to import foreign oil and natural gas from out there?
