Room 200, where US 'super committee' seeks answers to financial turmoil

Room 200, a 30-by-30 foot room inside the United States Capitol, is the home of the U.S. Congress's "super committee," a group of lawmakers who are tasked to find a deal to cut the huge budget deficits in the U.S.

Check out the Reuters report about Room 200 below:

Washington, D.C. - Deep beneath the Capitol is a red-carpeted room that recently reverberated to the sound of Democrats and Republicans singing together, and then to their angry exchanges over how to fix the U.S. budget.

Welcome to Congress's "super committee" room.

This is where a dozen lawmakers lock themselves away to try to strike a deal that, if reached, could prove a turning point in one of the United States' biggest challenges: shrinking its huge budget deficits and containing its soaring debt burden.

On a dozen occasions so far since early September, the committee's six senators and six members of the House of Representatives pulled up a dozen yellow chairs to four wooden tables pushed into a square and commenced haggling over spending and taxes.

There is no assigned seating in the bare 30-by-30 foot Room 200 in the Capitol's visitors' center, two floors underground.

Instead the six Republicans and six Democrats routinely change places as they try new ways to find a deal by November 23 to cut the deficit by at least $1.2 trillion over 10 years.

The swings between comity and acrimony do not yet signal whether a deal can be done by the deadline.

Failure could stoke fears among investors around the world that the U.S. political system is incapable of coming to grips with the country's huge debt.

All of this is happening at a time when Congress's approval rating among Americans has sunk to an all-time low of less than 10 percent, largely because of partisan gridlock.

"At this point, the most serious adult conversations going in Congress are at the super committee," a senior aide said.

"Members are driven by a sense that this is a very precarious time in U.S. history that beckons a solution," the aide said. "But at the same time, members wrestle with political loyalties that they can't divorce themselves from."

Democrats are pushing to cut the deficit by up to $3 trillion over 10 years, much higher than the super committee's target, with a mix of spending cuts and new tax revenues. But Republicans deeply oppose raising taxes, warning of job losses and damage to an already fragile economic recovery.

Across the divide, friendships have blossomed in Room 200. Democratic Senator John Kerry and Republican Senator Rob Portman have started biking together in the morning.

Kerry has emerged as a leader of an informal, bipartisan group of six lawmakers within the super committee, the biggest of a number of sub-groups seeking to narrow differences.

He recently invited a few of his group of six, including Portman, to his home for dinner, congressional aides say.

Senator Patty Murray, the panel's Democratic co-chair, and Jeb Hensarling, the committee's Republican co-chair, have a solid working relationship, according to aides who asked not to be identified because of the panel's secrecy policy.

Sarah Geronimo - I Won't Last A Day Without You Lyrics

Day after day I must face a world of strangers
Where I don't belong, I'm not that strong
It's nice to know that there's someone I can turn to
Who will always care, you're always there 

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you 

So many times when the city seems to be without a friendly face
A lonely place

It's nice to know that you'll be there if I need you
And you'll always smile, it's all worthwhile 

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you 

Touch me and I end up singing
Troubles seem to up and disappear
You touch me with the love you're bringing
I can't really lose when you're near ... when you're near my love

If all my friends have forgotten half their promises
They're not unkind, just hard to find noypistuff
One look at you and I know that I could learn to live
Without the rest, I found the best Oooooooh

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you
 Without You
Won't last a day without you...

Supermassive black hole dusts remnants of planet-asteroid collisions - study

Supermassive black hole dusts | NASA Photo

Supermassive black hole dusts may be the remains of cosmic collisions, according to a study.

An international team of astronomers led by Dr. Sergei Nayakshin theorized that these shrouds of fat doughnut-shaped dusts surrounding fifty percent of supermassive black holes could be the result of high speed crashes between planets and asteroids. The scientists propose that the central regions of galaxies contain not only black holes and stars but also planets and asteroids.

Dr. Nayakshin points out that this harsh environment - radiation and frequent collisions - would make the planets orbiting supermassive black holes sterile, even before they are destroyed.

"Too bad for life on these planets", he says, "but on the other hand the dust created in this way blocks much of the harmful radiation from reaching the rest of the host galaxy. This in turn may make it easier for life to prosper elsewhere in the rest of the central region of the galaxy."

He also believes that understanding the origin of the dust near black holes is important in our models of how these monsters grow and how exactly they affect their host galaxies.

"We suspect that the supermassive black hole in our own Galaxy, the Milky Way, expelled most of the gas that would otherwise turn into more stars and planets", he continues, "Understanding the origin of the dust in the inner regions of galaxies would take us one step closer to solving the mystery of the supermassive black holes".

Wardrobe Malfunction Case: Appeals court favors CBS in Janet Jackson ruling

Wardrobe malfunction ruling affirmed. | Photo: Idolator

A U.S. appeals court has again tossed out the $550,000 indecency fine against CBS Corp. (CBS) for airing Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" on national television.

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) fined CBS after viewers got a glimpse of the singer's breast for 9/16 of a second while she was performing during the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show. Justin Timberlake, who performed with Jackson in the show, called the incident a "wardrobe malfunction."

In 2008, the U.S. Court of Appeals in Philadelphia had ruled in that the fine should be voided because the FFC’s policy on determining indecency was “arbitrary and capricious.” The dispute reopened in 2009 after the U.S. Supreme Court ordered a review of the ruling.

The appeals court affirmed its 2008 ruling on Wednesday.

The FCC has issued a statement regarding the court's decision but did not say whether it would appeal the ruling.

“While we are disappointed by the court of appeal’s decision, we note that the court overturned the F.C.C.’s 2006 forfeiture order on narrow procedural grounds. In the meantime, the F.C.C. will continue to use all of the authority at its disposal to ensure that the nation’s broadcasters fulfill the public interest responsibilities that accompany their use of the public airwaves,” the commission said.

CBS, meanwhile, was gratified with the news.

“We are gratified that once again the court has ruled in our favor,” the company said. “We are hopeful that this will help lead the FCC to return to the policy of restrained indecency enforcement it followed for decades.” FULL STORY...

Dorothy Rodham, the mother of US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, has passed away at George Washington University Hospital where she was being treated for an undisclosed illness. She was 92 years old.

“Her story was a quintessentially American one, largely because she wrote it herself,” the family of Dorothy Rodham said in a statement.

“She overcame abandonment and hardship as a young girl to become the remarkable woman she was – a warm, generous and strong woman; an intellectual; a woman who told a great joke and always got the joke; an extraordinary friend and, most of all, a loving wife, mother and grandmother.”

Sec. Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, had earlier cancelled her scheduled trips in London, Turkey and Afghanistan due to her mother's condition. There are no reports yet if her planned one-day visit to Manila, Philippines this November 15 is also cancelled. FULL STORY...

Charice, upon learning about the tragic death of her father, Ricky Pempengco, tweeted Tuesday that she had a "great relationship" with him despite everything. Charice added that she "loved" him and "will still love him."

"Last night, may kasama ako pero sabi ko kamukha nya daddy ko." Charice tweeted. "Di ko alam na nagpaparamdam na pala sya. Gusto ko lang malaman nyo, na we had a really great relationship bago nangyari lahat ng gulo. Sinabi niya sa akin nung ako'y bata pa na hindi actually alam ni mommy, gusto nya akong maging sundalo kasi sabi niya matapang daw ako. I loved him and I will still love him. He's still my Dad after all."

[Last night, I was with someone who looked like my dad. I have no idea it was a premonition. I just want you to know that we had a great relationship before all these things happened. He told me when I was younger, which my mommy did not know about, that he wanted me to be a soldier because I am brave. I loved him and I will still love him. He's my dad after all.]

Charice's parents had been separated since she was still 3 years old. Her father reportedly became violent because of drug abuse which according to Charice's mom was the reason why they left him.

Charice's father was killed in a stabbing incident close to midnight on Monday in San Pedro, Laguna.

I have to go back to the Philippines as soon as possible to be with my family. I hope you all understand. I love you all and I will see you next year," Charice said. FULL STORY...
