Canberra, Australia -- Huge swathes of coral in Southeast Asian and Indian Ocean reefs have died in what scientists say may be "the worst such event known to science."

Scientists from the Australian Research Center and James Cook University say coral cover in the region could drop from an average of 50 percent to about 10 percent and will take years to recover, striking at local fishing and regional tourism industries, ScienceDaily.com reported Thursday.

"It is certainly the worst coral die-off we have seen since 1998. It may prove to be the worst such event known to science," Andrew Baird of the ARC said. "So far around 80 percent of Acropora colonies and 50 percent of colonies from other species have died since the outbreak began in May this year."

After just two songs, Rose threatened to leave. He made good on his promise two songs later, at the end of "Welcome to the Jungle."

Bunning: Steinbrenner 'smart' to die now

Thu, 15/07/2010 - 09:29 by Pankaj Damin

Washington -- U.S. Sen. Jim Bunning, R-Ky., said Wednesday New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner was "smart" to die in a year when there is no federal estate tax.

Bunning, in comments during a meeting of the Senate Finance Committee, said because Steinbrenner "was smart enough to die in 2010, there is zero tax liability to the estate tax," the Louisville (Ky.) Courier-Journal reported.

The committee was debating tax cuts for wealthy Americans instituted by the administration of former President George W. Bush, which are scheduled to expire at the end of this year. Under those cuts, the estate tax was eliminated for this year only, the newspaper said.
