Experts: CO2 record illustrates scary' trendBy SETH BORENSTEIN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | May 13,2013AP PHOTO
A flock of Geese fly past the smokestacks at the Jeffrey Energy Center coal power plant as the suns sets near Emmett, Kan. Worldwide levels of the chief greenhouse gas that causes global warming have hit a milestone, reaching an amount never before encountered by humans, federal scientists said Friday.WASHINGTON The old saying that what goes up must come down doesnt apply to carbon dioxide pollution in the air, which just hit an unnerving milestone.
The chief greenhouse gas was measured Thursday at 400 parts per million in Hawaii, a monitoring site that sets the worlds benchmark. Its a symbolic mark that scientists and environmentalists have been anticipating for years.
While this weeks number has garnered all sorts of attention, it is just a daily reading in the month when the chief greenhouse gas peaks in the Northern Hemisphere. It will be lower the rest of the year. This year will probably average around 396 ppm. But not for long the trend is going up and at faster and faster rates.
Within a decade the world will never see days even in the cleanest of places on days in the fall when greenhouse gases are at their lowest when the carbon measurement falls below 400 ppm, said James Butler, director of global monitoring at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrations Earth Science Research Lab in Boulder, Colo.
The 400 is a reminder that our emissions are not only continuing, but theyre accelerating; thats a scary thing, Butler said Saturday. Were stuck. Were going to keep going up.
Carbon dioxide stays in the air for a century, some of it into the thousands of years. And the world carbon dioxide pollution levels are accelerating yearly. Every second, the worlds smokestacks and cars pump 2.4 million pounds of the heat-trapping gas into the air.
Carbon pollution levels that used to be normal for the 20th century are fast becoming history in the 21st century.
It means we are essentially passing one in a whole series of points of no return, said Michael Mann, a climate scientist at Pennsylvania State University.
Princeton University climate scientist Michael Oppenheimer said the momentum in carbon dioxide emissions has the world heading toward and passing 450 ppm. That is the level which would essentially mean the world warms another 2 degrees, what scientists think of as dangerous, he said. That 2-degree mark is what much of the worlds nations have set as a goal to prevent.
The direction weve seen is for blowing through the best benchmark for whats dangerous change, Oppenheimer said.
And to see what the future is, scientists look to the past.
The last time the worldwide carbon level probably hit 400 ppm was about 2 million years ago, said Pieter Tans of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
That was during the Pleistocene Era. It was much warmer than it is today, Tans said. There were forests in Greenland. Sea level was higher, between 10 and 20 meters (33 to 66 feet).
Other scientists say it may have been 10 million years ago that Earth last encountered this much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The first modern humans only appeared in Africa about 200,000 years ago.
Environmental activists, such as former Vice President Al Gore, seized on the milestone.
This number is a reminder that for the last 150 years and especially over the last several decades we have been recklessly polluting the protective sheath of atmosphere that surrounds the Earth and protects the conditions that have fostered the flourishing of our civilization, Gore said in a statement. We are altering the composition of our atmosphere at an unprecedented rate.
Carbon dioxide traps heat just like in a greenhouse. It accounts for three-quarters of the planets heat-trapping gases. There are others, such as methane, which has a shorter life span but traps heat more effectively. Both trigger temperatures to rise over time, scientists say, which is causing sea levels to rise and some weather patterns to change.
When measurements of carbon dioxide were first taken in 1958, it measured 315 ppm. Some scientists and environmental groups promote 350 ppm as a safe level for CO2, but scientists acknowledge they dont really know what levels would stop the effects of global warming.
The level of carbon dioxide in the air is rising faster than in the past decades, despite international efforts by developed nations to curb it. On average the amount is growing by about 2 ppm per year. Thats 100 times faster than at the end of the Ice Age.
Back then, it took 7,000 years for carbon dioxide to reach 80 ppm, Tans said. Because of the burning of fossil fuels, such as oil and coal, carbon dioxide levels have gone up by that amount in just 55 years.
Before the Industrial Revolution, carbon dioxide levels were around 280 ppm, and they were closer to 200 during the Ice Age, which is when sea levels shrank and polar places went from green to icy. There are natural ups and downs of this greenhouse gas, which comes from volcanoes and decomposing plants and animals. But thats not what has driven current levels so high, Tans said. He said the amount should be even higher, but the worlds oceans are absorbing quite a bit, keeping it out of the air.
What we see today is 100 percent due to human activity, said Tans, a NOAA senior scientist. The burning of fossil fuels, such as coal for electricity and oil for gasoline, has caused the overwhelming bulk of the man-made increase in carbon in the air, scientists say.
The world sent 38.2 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the air in 2011, according international calculations published in a scientific journal in December. China spews 10 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the air per year, leading all countries, and its emissions are growing about 10 percent annually. The U.S. at No. 2 is slowly cutting emissions and is down to 5.9 billion tons per year.
The speed of the change is the big worry, said Pennsylvania States Mann. If carbon dioxide levels go up 100 ppm over thousands or millions of years, plants and animals can adapt. But that cant be done at the speed it is now happening.
We are a society that has inadvertently chosen the double-black diamond run without having learned to ski first, NASA climate scientist Gavin Schmidt said. It will be a bumpy ride.MORE IN Wire NewsA new study released Monday found that warming temperatures in Pacific Ocean waters off the coast...

Shit. Of course. My mom was trying to fix this. She loved Daniel, called him the perfect son-in-law. She worshipped the ground he walked on, for fuck's sake.
I wore black for the reminder of the week. I stayed in my bedroom and sulked. Wouldn't you do the same if you're boyfriend of 5 years had cheated on you with a guy? I had been home for 5 days and my mom was getting tired of me just staying in my room like a 'moody teenager'. Okay, so what if I was 25? The inner child was there still.
But the real reason I stayed in my room was Pete. He had been my big brother's best friend since I can remember. And I had been crushing on him since I discovered it was more fun kissing boys then throwing rocks at them, although that was fun too. But he was always out of reach, the popular soccer star and the best friend's pathetic excuse for a sister would never have gone down well. I had always lived in my brother's shadow. I was the cute little girl with the piglets and he had been the strong, gorgeous (hence the name George) boy. We had been dream kids, but he somehow always got more attention then me.
He also had all the friends. Mine were the outcasts, the boy missing a leg, the school whore that no one really liked, the math freak, the fat kid and me. I had been pretty normal. I just felt sorry for them so I made friends with them, the charity cases. My mom hated them and the fact that I had to bring them home all the time. I also brought home animals I had found that were hurt or in a need of a home, but my mom could bare them. They were just thrown into the barn.
I finally got out of my room when I noticed that all the cars were gone from the driveway. Everyone had to be out, so I could do what I wanted. I headed towards the kitchen. I made myself a yummy sandwich and was really looking forward eating it when I heard a cough behind my. I screamed and jumped before turning around.
"Did I scare you?"
"Just a little. I thought everyone where out."
"Your mom wanted someone to stay behind to make sure you wouldn't harm yourself while they were away."
I just nodded. My heart was racing, he looked even better now then back in the day.
"Harm myself?"
He walked towards me.
"Yeah, you never know what these depressed youths might try to do."
He half-smiled; a sad look appeared in his eyes. Desperate to change the subject I asked if he wanted a sandwich and I offered mine to him. The one I had just spent half an hour making.
"No, I'm not hungry. You eat it, I'm going for a walk."
"Okay, I won't do any self-harm while you're away."
"You'd better, your mom would kill me if anything happened to her little girl."
She most likely would.
"So, where did they go anyway?"
He looked uncomfortable all of a sudden.
"Eh. I don't know."
He tried to smile. I shoot him a glare.
"Peter, where are they?"
"They, you're not going to like this. They went to see Daniel."
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
"They did what?"
He made a run for the door.
"They're meeting up with your lover. I'm going for a walk!"
Shit. Of course. My mom was trying to fix this. She loved Daniel, called him the perfect son-in-law. She worshipped the ground he walked on, for fuck's sake. But he was also a lying, cheating gay man. And gay men and straight women don't have relationship with each other. At least not sexual and loving ones.
I ate my sandwich while I thought of ways to strangle my mom and make her understand I didn't want to see that lying whore ever again. Why did my life have to be so complicated? Why didn't things always work out like they did in the movies? I buried my face in my hands. I thought I had found something rare (which I had, but I thought of a different kid of rare) and real when I started going out with Daniel. He had been awesome, everything I had hoped for in a guy. Unfortunately he was gay.
George came running from god knows where and sat down opposite me.
"Stop moping Tara! It's so yesterday."
"Shut up."
"Watch your language little girl."
"Fuck you, George!"
I stood up and headed upstairs.
"Where are you going?"
"Into my bedroom to cry my eyes out!"
"Gawd, your so emo."
"Shut the fuck up."
He appeared below the stairs, a huge grin covering his face.
"Do you know what I found?"
I turned around.
"No, what?"
He held up a book in front of his face. It was pink and fluffy. Oh no...
"George, have you read it?"
He nodded and made a run towards the front door. He had my diary, the one I wrote in all my secrets, including the one that I had a crush on Pete. Although I had been 14 when I wrote it, it still meant something to me. I darted down the stairs; I had to have that book back. Luck was on my side today because the front door flew open and my mom appeared.
"What's going on?"
"George stole my diary!"
"George, give your sister back your diary."
He reluctantly handed it over. He stuck his tongue out to me when mom had her back turned.
"Where'd you go mom?"
She smiled as she removed her coat.
"I and your dad had few errands to run. He'll be back any minute."
I just nodded. She hadn't implied anything, but I still felt like she had done something.
"Mom, what did you two do?"
She just shrugged and walked towards the kitchen. There was a knock on the door. Oh no, she didn't. I opened the door and met a bouquet of red roses.
"Babe, I'm so sorry. It was just a one off thing that will never ha-"
I slammed the door on his face and walked to the kitchen.
"Honey, don't be mad. You two were the perfect couple!"
I couldn't believe this. Was my life a fucking soap opera?

Technicolor Jam. ❤
So Sunday School had a Technicolor Jam night for all the students. The hall was filled with color & the music was run by Uncle Lai. Earlier in the week Isis told mummy she needed to go shopping for a colorful dress for her and her sister so off we went to Farmers, there she picked out these dresses one for her & one for her little sister, Isis your so selfless, everything you get given you also want one for your sister so she doesn't miss out, these moments of course bring a tear or two to mummy's eyes as you should already know mummy gets emo at everything you both do, big or small. lol. So that was that.
You both thoroughly enjoyed the night, you danced away with your friends Isis & your little sis was as cute as ever in her little cast, lol.
Isla you are such a character, every time you hear a beat to the song you get so excited & start dancing so hard, it makes mummy super proud of your bold confidence. You were receiving compliments from everywhere.
After the dance, Isis, you got a bit upset as you didn't win the dancing prize as their were many kids in the Sunday School that also danced amazing on the night, that made us go home early because I could see in your face you wanted to cry, as we went outside tears streamed down your face as I knelt down to hug you. I asked you what was wrong & you said 'I didn't win a prize'
Isis - I want you to know this, life isn't always about winning or receiving prizes for doing your best, mummy saw how awesome you danced and that alone filled my heart with joy. Sometimes when you do all you can to achieve what you want, you have to have a open-heart that sometimes things won't go our way. Hope for the best - Prepare for the worse. Mummy was so upset seeing you cry quietly like that, no parent ever wants to see their child in that position. I want to remind you that every time you do anything amazing in your life - mummy & daddy will undoubtedly be your no.1 fans, we are so proud of you honey, continue to use your talents & reach for the heavens, God sees your heart & he knows you tried your best!
Isis continue to be a good big sister, Isla is always watching what you do so always show the goodness in you & try and always be the strong one, when your hurt talk to us or your sister. You are never alone - ever!
I love you both so much.
Everything you both do amazes me so much, you help mummy to learn more about herself and what it takes to be a parent.
You are the best dancers ever. ❤
I was so proud of you both tonight.
Love your biggest & loyal fan,

Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy - Topic Overview
What is Munchausen syndrome by proxy?
Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSBP) is a mental health problem in which a caregiver makes up or causes an illness or injury in a person under his or her care, such as a child, an elderly adult, or a person who has a disability. Because vulnerable people are the victims, MSBP is a form of child abuse or elder abuse.
Note: Since most cases of MSBP are between a caregiver (usually a mother) and a child, the rest of this topic will describe that relationship. But it is important to remember that MSBP can involve any vulnerable person who has a caregiver.

A Conversation With a Columbine Survivor
Marjorie Lindholm is a survivor of the 1999 school shootings at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo. Lindholm, who wrote a book titled A Columbine Survivor's Story, spoke with WebMD about her experiences and shares her advice for school shooting survivors and their loved ones.
Read the A Conversation With a Columbine Survivor article > >
The caregiver with MSBP may:
- Lie about the child's symptoms.
- Change test results to make a child appear to be ill.
- Physically harm the child to produce symptoms.
Victims are most often small children. They may get painful medical tests they don't need. They may even become seriously ill or injured or may die because of the actions of the caregiver.
Children who are victims of MSBP can have lifelong physical and emotional problems and may have Munchausen syndrome as adults. This is a disorder in which a person causes or falsely reports his or her own symptoms.
What causes Munchausen syndrome by proxy?
Doctors aren't sure what causes it, but it may be linked to problems during the abuser's childhood. Abusers often feel like their life is out of control. They often have poor self-esteem and can't deal with stress or anxiety.
The attention that caregivers get from having a sick child may encourage their behavior. Caregivers may get attention not only from doctors and nurses but also from others in their community. For example, neighbors may try to help the family in many ways—such as by doing chores, bringing meals, or giving money.
How does someone with Munchausen syndrome by proxy act?
A person with MSBP often:
- Has medical skills or experience.
- Seems devoted to his or her child.
- Looks for sympathy and attention.
- Tries too hard to become close and friendly with medical staff.
- Needs to feel powerful and in control.
- Does not see his or her behavior as harmful.
What are the clues that a person may have Munchausen syndrome by proxy?
Checking a child's medical records for past tests, treatments, and hospital stays may help a doctor or nurse find out if a health problem is real.
Doctors or nurses may suspect a problem when:
- A child has a repeated or unusual illness, and no reason can be found.
- The child doesn't get better, even with treatments that should help. Symptoms only occur when the caregiver is with or has recently been with the child. But symptoms get better or go away when the caregiver is not there or is being closely watched.
- The other parent (usually the father) is not involved in the child's treatment, even though the child's condition may be serious.
- A caregiver suddenly changes doctors and lies about prior testing and treatment.
- Normal test results don't reassure the caregiver. And he or she may be strangely calm or happy when the child's condition is getting worse.
- The caregiver is seen (or videotaped or recorded) harming the child or causing symptoms.
- Another child in the family has had unexplained illness or death.

ZIP Codes - Key Concepts
- ZIP Codes are categories for grouping mailing addresses and are not exact geographic regions.
- The centroid of a ZIP Code may be in one County and the associated city/town in another.
- In rural areas, a single ZIP Code may be used for cities and towns in several different Counties.
- ZIP Code "areas" can overlap, be subsets of each other, or be artificial constructs with no geographic area.
- ZIP Codes are only loosely tied to cities.
1 Keeping the above key concepts in mind, what we informally refer to as the "center" of a ZIP Code is most often actually the centroid of a polygon.

The Best Portable Grills: Weber, Fuego, Lodge & More
Shopper's Guide
If you're an apartment dweller without a lot of storage space, a portable grill can be a huge help. Equally useful on a patio or at a picnic, most are compact enough to store in a kitchen cabinet. This list of eight options includes a mix of charcoal and gas grills. If you want more information on which type of grill is right for you, check out this post for tips to help you choose. Make sure to do some comparison shopping online, as prices vary slightly from store to store.
Fuego: The Kitchn reviewed their new portable Element gas grill ($150) and reports, "It fits several burgers, a mass of kebabs, or a whole pound of asparagus in one shot without needing to revert to batches." On the downside, it heats a little unevenly.
Weber:The charcoal Smokey Joe ($35-$40) has a cooking grate that's about 14 inches in diameter (big enough for several burgers) and the lid locks down for carrying. It comes with a 10-year limited warranty.
Lodge: The Sportsman Grill ($80+) is a heavy-duty camp grill with two adjustable heights for cooking over charcoal. The design uses heavy cast iron walls to retain consistent heat, but cleaning can be a bit of a pain.
Bodum: Their charcoal Fyrkat Grill ($60) comes in four colors (black, yellow, green, and red), and it's about 15 inches in diameter — a good size for grilling vegetables or a few burgers. Made from enamel-coated steel, it's a bright, fun option.
Well Traveled Living: They make several good-looking portable grills, but their most popular model is the folding Hotspot Notebook Charcoal Grill ($25-$35). It has a grilling surface about 18 x 12 inches, and it folds flat into a depth of just one inch.
Eva Solo: The Eva Solo Table Grill ($360) is a sleek design that has a wooden trivet base. Made from porcelain, it's the most modern of the bunch, with an interior protected by a stainless steel lining that holds the charcoal briquettes.
Cobb: Their charcoal Premier Portable Grill ($150) is made of stainless steel with a dome-shaped lid and a double-walled based that "circulates heat in a convection style" for up to 3 hours. The cooking surface is on the small side, at 12 inches in diameter.
Solaire: This SOL-IR17B Portable Grill($325) is a propane model made from stainless steel. It uses an infared burner, which helps the grill to heat up super fast. With 155 square inches of cooking surface, it's one of the largest on this list.

I'd love to hear if any Kitchn readers use the Notebook grill and have comments on it. I've considered getting a Smokey Joe, but we really have nowhere to store it. I could definitely find room for the Notebook grill, but would it be worth it? It looks a little flimsy.
We just bought a Weber Q100, one of the tabletop gas grills. We heard nothing but good things about it, even though it was more than we wanted to spend. Only used it twice, but so far it's been great.
I live abroad in an apartment without a balcony/porch. I'm debating investing in a small grill or grill pan. can anyone weigh in on the benefits/problems with either? does a grill pan really work? i could grill outside in the common area, but i'll likely get a lot of stares/can't do it at night. any advice on grilling without a real grill would be appreciated!
I recently did some vetting of various charcoal grills. While I've been very pleased by my Weber Q-Series portable gas grill, I wanted to try my hand at charcoal grilling.
What I eventually settled on was the Old Smokey #14.
The Smokey Joe is very well respected and durable.
The Lodge is very similar to what I'm using now, but it has no cover or wind-shield, and is kind of a pain to clean. The one I have been using has been very poorly maintained, and it's encrusted with difficult-to-remove gunk.
The Cobb has a lot going for it: touchable exterior, very versatile cooking abilities, and very efficient with charcoal. Unfortunately, it's very slow to cook and too expensive.
I suppose I don't really have a good reason for choosing Old Smokey over the Smokey Joe. I like the look. I like the large lid. I hear it's very stable. It's got great reviews, and lasts forever, resisting the elements pretty well. It wasn't very expensive (though I did have to pay shipping). It's still in transit, so I can't even speak of my initial impressions yet.
I've been grilling every afternoon, though, so I should have some suitable comparison fodder between a hibachi-style grill and the Old Smokey ere too long.
As an aside, while I was at Home Depot the other day (and this was kind of the impetus for my purchase of the Old Smokey), I saw the and I was impressed. I liked the solid construction and the cast-iron grate. Unfortunately, after some more research, I found that many of the Char-Griller products suffer from premature rusting out, and decided it would be prudent to look elsewhere. But that was my number one choice, initially.
Hibachi! Why no love for the Son of Hibachi!

MOUTH OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER (AP) — Heavy winds and high tides complicated efforts to hold back oil that threatened to coat birds and other marine life as it oozed ashore from the Gulf of Mexico on Friday. The White House responded to the massive spill by halting any new offshore oil projects until safeguards are in place to prevent rig explosions like the one that caused it.
The National Weather Service predicted winds, high tides and waves through Sunday that could push oil deep into the inlets, ponds and lakes of southeastern Louisiana. Seas of 6 to 7 feet were pushing tides several feet above normal toward the coast, compounded by thunderstorms expected in the area. The wind was pushing oily water over the booms meant to contain it.
More than 200,000 gallons of oil a day are spewing from the blown-out well at the site of the Deepwater Horizon, which exploded April 20 and sank two days later. Crews are using at least six remotely operated vehicles to try to shut off an underwater valve, but so far they've been unsuccessful.
They are also drilling a relief well to decrease the pressure and slowing the leak, though that could take up to three months.
Meanwhile, concern grew about animals and plants on the ecologically fragile coastline. A rescue operation at Fort Jackson, about 70 miles southeast of New Orleans, had its first patient Friday, a young northern gannett found offshore. The bird is normally white with a yellow head and long, pointed beak but was covered in thick, black oil. Workers with Delaware-based Tri-State Bird Rescue and Research use Dawn blue dishwashing soap to scrub any oil-tainted animals.
Down the coast, at the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies in Gulfport, Miss., scientists, veterinarians and researchers frantically prepared for the possible arrival of hundreds of oily sea mammals in the coming days.
The nonprofit facility's director, Dr. Moby Solangi, said Friday the site will be ground zero for injured marine mammals from Texas to Florida.
Pools are freshly cleaned and prepared to handle sea turtles, manatees and dolphins. There are as many as 5,000 dolphins in the Gulf area between the Mississippi and Louisiana coasts and the oil rig, many giving birth right now.
"It's very bad timing," Solangi said. "We're going to have a lot of babies here. We're looking at a colossal tragedy."
The cause of the explosion has not been determined. Oil services contractor Halliburton Inc. said in a statement Friday that workers had finished a cementing operation 20 hours before the rig went up in flames. A lawsuit filed this week by two Mississippi shrimpers claims the cementing work created increased pressure at the well that contributed to the explosion.
Cementing is a process of applying a liquid slurry of cement and water to points inside or outside of the casing, a pipe used to prevent the wall of the hole from caving in during drilling and providing a means of bringing oil and gas up later if the well starts producing.
Halliburton said it had four employees stationed on the rig at the time of the explosion, performing a variety of tasks, including cementing.
"Halliburton continues to assist in efforts to identify the factors that may have (led) up to the disaster, but it is premature and irresponsible to speculate on any specific causal issues," the company said in a statement Friday.
Volunteers started arriving Friday in Venice, La., though there wasn't much for them to do because the water was so choppy. About two dozen workers in hard hats and lifejackets were stuck on shore at a marina, lounging on small work boats, some laden with boom, ready to go to work. Some smoked cigarettes and spat sunflower seeds as they waited for assignments.
Volunteer Valerie Gonsoulin, a 51-year-old kayaker from Lafayette who wore an "America's Wetlands" hat, said she hoped to help spread containment booms to hold back the oil.
"I've been sitting here watching that NASA image grow and it grows," she said. "I knew it would hit every place I fish and love."
So far, boom has been laid around all the area's wildlife refuges, including the fragile Chandeleur Islands. But with the waves much choppier and higher than normal, the water is rolling right over the booms and carrying the oil with it.
"It just can't take the wave action," said Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser, who surveyed the coastline from a helicopter Friday and said he spotted several places where booms broke free or were covered by oily water.
Wind was also hampering efforts by the state of Louisiana to divert thousands of gallons of fresh water from the Mississippi River to try to flush out the wetlands.
The Louisiana National Guard prepared to send communication equipment, boats, all-terrain vehicles and other equipment to help.
President Barack Obama on Friday directed that no new offshore oil drilling leases be issued unless rigs have new safeguards.
"We are making sure any leases going forward have those safeguards," Obama said at a White House Rose Garden event. He had recently lifted a drilling moratorium for many offshore areas, including the Atlantic and Gulf.
Obama reassured Gulf Coast communities that the federal government is "fully prepared" to meet its responsibilities as the spill gets worse.
The Pentagon on Friday approved the use of two Air Force planes to dump chemicals on the oil spill, which civilian planes have already been doing. The Navy also sent equipment for the cleanup, and Pentagon officials were talking with the Department of Homeland Security to figure out what other help the military could give.
The Coast Guard is working with rig operator BP to deploy floating booms, skimmers and chemical dispersants, and has set controlled fires to burn the oil off the water's surface.
Faint fingers of oily sheen began reaching the Mississippi River delta late Thursday, lapping the Louisiana shoreline in long, thin lines.
The Coast Guard defended the federal response so far. Asked on all three network television morning shows Friday whether the government has done enough to push oil company BP PLC to plug the underwater leak and protect the coast, Coast Guard Rear Adm. Sally Brice-O'Hara said the response led by her agency has been rapid, sustained and has adapted as the threat grew.
Brice-O'Hara was also asked on ABC's "Good Morning America" about the possibility of dispersing chemicals about a mile beneath the surface to break up oil, which she described as a new technology.
"But if it has applicability, which we think it does, we want to get that in place very quickly," she said,
The oil slick could become the nation's worst environmental disaster in decades, threatening to eclipse even the worst oil spill in U.S. history, the Exxon Valdez, the grounded tanker that leaked 11 million gallons in Alaska's Prince William Sound in 1989.
The sheen measured about 70 miles by 130 miles as of Thursday, and officials expected to update that figure Friday.
BP has requested more resources from the Defense Department, especially underwater equipment that might be better than what is commercially available. A BP executive said the corporation would "take help from anyone." That includes fishermen who could be hired to help deploy containment boom.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal declared a state of emergency and asked the federal government if he could call up 6,000 National Guard troops to help. Florida Gov. Charlie Crist declared a state of emergency for the state's Panhandle.
Associated Press writers Holbrook Mohr in Venice, La.; Brian Skoloff in Gulfport, Miss.; Phuong Le in Seattle; Janet McConnaughey, Kevin McGill, Michael Kunzelman and Brett Martel in New Orleans; Melinda Deslatte in Baton Rouge; and Pauline Jelinek in Washington contributed to this report.

I recently purchased the "Flex" jacket from trackleathers.com. Leather and craftsmanship we're really good, not like anything I've seen before as far loop stitch work and durability of threading.
I ordered myn custom fit so I knew it would fit spot on. It took an extra 3 days or so, but was well worth it because it fits like an absolute glove.
Total time to reach me was 3 and half weeks..Would recommend Komoto track gear! I'll be ordering a full race suit soon for my trip on the Tail of the Dragon!

Paid Parental Leave: Support for Parents with Newborn Children
AbstractWhile Australia's consumer policy framework has considerable strengths, parts of it require an overhaul. The current division of responsibility for the framework between the Australian and State and Territory Governments leads to variable outcomes for consumers, added costs for businesses and a lack of responsiveness in policy making. There are gaps and inconsistencies in the policy and enforcement tool kit and weaknesses in redress mechanisms for consumers. These problems will make it increasingly difficult to respond to rapidly changing consumer markets, meaning that the associated costs for consumers and the community will continue to grow. Addressing these problems will have significant direct benefits for consumers. Also, by better engaging and empowering consumers and furthering the development of nationally competitive markets, reform will enhance productivity and innovation.

SPOKANE-- Neighbors banded together in Spokane to create dozens of block watch programs as a response to rising crime rates.
Authorities said block watch programs are up 50% this year alone in Spokane.
Homeowners jumped at the chance to join the groups in the Indian Trail neighborhood after numerous burglaries and car break-ins. They created watch groups for a two block radius.
Those who joined said the group puts their mind at ease knowing that neighbors are also keeping an eye out for suspicious behavior. The group notifies neighbors via e-mail if they see anything out of the ordinary.
The Spokane C.O.P.S. office said they credit the jump in new block watches to more neighbors being aware of crime in their area.

DETROIT, MI (WTVB) - It could only happen in the Motor City. 40,000 cars and 1.5 million people traversing 8 communities. It's heavenly for cruisers at today's 19th Annual Woodward Dream Cruise in Michigan, the world's largest one-day celebration of car culture.
In the midst of all the classic cars at this year's event is a classic Michigan woman. 103-year-old Margaret Dunning still loves to show off her Model-A Pickup, her 1930 Packard and her 1966 Cadillac. Dunning says she's always been a grease monkey and knows quite a bit about cars. As far as the secret to her longevity Dunning says it's all about getting the right start. She was born into a wonderful family, and just kept rolling from there.

Thanks Jenny!
You have put my mind at ease and I definitely wasnt planning on handing over any banking details. I agree that $7.95 is a bit steep too! I have had so many other great samples from you its not a problem that I missed this one! I'm sure there will be plenty more!
Keep up the great work. Thanks for checking into this for me.
Thanks stinkydrs! Loved the Busby sample too. :)
You should be fine with MiEssence having your details, I did some research and they seem like a reputable company and I wouldn't be too worried about it - But just don't send them banking details or the like would be my recommendation, plus personally I think $7.95 is a bit too steep to post a free sample!
Sorry about that one not working out for you.
Jenny xx
Love Friday Freebies and always enjoy getting samples in the post! Keep up the great work! Got my Busby Pure Oil sample a few weeks ago which is amazing!
I also tried the MiEssence one and I confirmed my subscription through email and then received an email saying they had reached their quota (completely understand and no problem from my end) but that if I still wanted a sample I could send them a payment of 7.95 for postage and handling!!!! Warning bells are now ringing in my head. Should I be worried especially since they have my address and email?
Thanks for the freebies
I just love Kidspot... Got my Free Tea samples I have ordered last week.....waiting for more stuff to come....
Love it
traceyi - Hmm, that is a bit weird! I wonder if they got maxed out with requests in the first few days it was listed and are still trying to catch up? I received my Natralus samples in the mail two days ago, so it is definitely a genuine offer.
Just tried the MiEssence confirmation link a minute ago and it all worked fine, I got this message after clicking the link:
Maybe try re-submitting your details and see what happens... Make sure you include your state as there wasn't an actual space in the form for it.
Thanks and sorry about the issues, good luck.
Yeah I tried the pawpaw earlier in the week, same result. Perhaps their daily quota is about 20!
I got the miessence email but when i click on it to confirm it says there's an admin error & to contact them?
Oh well.
Thanks for the great list
Hi traceyi,
The Natralus Paw Paw and Aloe Vera gel offer is quite popular and has been shared over a fair few different freebie sites over the past week, so I assume is under very high demand. Please check back with them tomorrow and hopefully you'll have some luck with it then...
I just double checked the MiEssence offer and it all went through ok. You should be taken to a page with a message saying they've sent you a confirmation email and asking you to click on the link to confirm your free sample order. I'm sorry you've had problems with this one, not too sure what the issue would be so I'm a bit lost at what to suggest - maybe try completing the form again and see how you go?
Sorry and HTH
admin error with miessence?
the paw paw has reach its daily limit already

The Siamerican Wanderer is a dual national Thai American who was born in 1983 Common Era ( 2526 Buddhist Era) in Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA. Bred and raised in / around the Denver metropolitan area, American standards and values were reinforced at home by his Thai born, American naturalized mother, and Caucasian, Army-brat turned Marine Warrant Officer father.
The Siamerican Wanderer finally ventured to his late mother's homeland, Thailand for the first time in June and July of 2001/2544 under a one month teach and travel scholarship cultural exchange program.
In this initial visit to the motherland in his final days as a minor, aside from being introduced into the world of ESL, and more importantly, Thai culture and society firsthand, he obtained key pieces in his family mystery-history puzzles, meeting many of his near and distant Thai relatives. By the time he was on the plane back to the USA, the Southeast Asian seed had long been germinating within his heart.
He returned to Thailand permanently 7 months later on a sole-American passport, following his heart and soul's yearning to embark upon a self and roots discovery journey–reuniting with nearly all of his surviving Thai relatives; uncovering family secrets and treasures; pursuing education, wisdom, and higher learning, supplementing himself by teaching children and adults to speak and communicate in the English language, and later embarking, exploring, breeding and feeding within journalism and writing circles.
In his first five years, he lived in Thailand under immigration visas stamped into his American passport, all the while accumulating and compiling the necessary evidence to prove via DNA, legalized documents, and tedious interviews his right to Thai national status, which was finalized in April of 2007 / 2550.
Of all that has occurred, is occurring, and will occur in time to come, the Siamerican has learned and continues to learn the fundamental universal truths–striving to always devote passion and penance to the wonderful gift of life in the memory of his ancestors and honor of his fruitful seed….the wave continues…
Feel free to leave your questions and comments below. If it is an exclusive matter, you can send a private message to the Siamerican Wanderer.

- UPDATED: 25 Jun 2014 22:17
US book retailer Barnes & Noble said on Wednesday it would spin off its Nook division, which produces tablets and digital books, amid ongoing losses at the unit.
NEW YORK: US book retailer Barnes & Noble said on Wednesday it would spin off its Nook division, which produces tablets and digital books, amid ongoing losses at the unit.
The plan authorised by the board would separate the Nook unit by early 2015 and ends the effort by Barnes & Noble to directly challenge online giant Amazon.
B&N chief executive Michael Huseby said: "We have determined that these businesses will have the best chance of optimizing shareholder value if they are capitalised and operated separately."
The book retail operations and Nook Media "will continue to have long-term, successful business relationships with each other after separation," he said.
The company said it engaged Guggenheim Securities as financial advisors and Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP as legal counsel for the spin-off.
The news came as Barnes & Noble announced a net loss of US$36.7 million in its fiscal fourth quarter, narrowing the deficit from US$114.8 million a year earlier. This was helped by a US$12.5 million one-time tax benefit.
Revenues in the period increased 3.5 per cent to US$1.3 billion.
But the results were dragged down by weak performance in the Nook division, which saw a 22.2 per cent drop in revenues and an operating loss of US$56 million. That off-set improvements in the company's retail and university operations.
"We're pleased with our improved financial performance in fiscal 2014," Huseby said, noting that earnings before certain charges such as taxes and depreciation were the highest in four years.
Nook has failed to get a major foothold in a tablet market dominated by Apple, Samsung and Amazon.
Earlier this month, B&N said it would work with Samsung to produce a co-branded Nook tablet.

God is not an object; God doesn't exist as an object. Whatsoever theologians say, they are absolutely wrong - God doesn't exist as an object. You cannot worship, because he is hidden in the worshipper. You cannot pray, because he is hidden there from where the prayer arises. You cannot seek him without, because he is your within-ness.
The first thing to remember is this, because if it is remembered then the whole effort becomes qualitatively different. Then you are not going somewhere, then there is no hurry, then there is no impatience. Rather, on the contrary, the more patience that happens to you, the easier becomes the search; the more you are not seeking him, the closer he is to you. When you are not seeking at all, when you are just being, not going anywhere, after anything, you have reached, the thing has happened.
This search is going to be qualitatively different. This search is, in a way, a no-search; this seeking is, in a way, a no-seeking. The more you seek, the more you will miss. If he was far away then it would have been alright. He is here, he is now. This very moment God is happening to you, because you cannot be without him. He is the ocean, you are the fish.
So don't be in a hurry and don't be impatient. There is no goal; the very effort is the goal. We will not be meditating to gain something, to achieve something; the very meditation is the goal. Meditation is not a means, it is the end. So don't force yourself; rather, relax. Don't run after something, some ultimate, some God, some x, y, z; rather stand still. The moment you are in a total standstill you have reached. Then there is no more. And this can be done any moment. If you understand, this can happen this very moment. God is life, God is existence, God is the case.
But there are problems; theologians have created them. The first problem they have created, and because of which this remembering becomes impossible - to remember that you are already divine becomes impossible - is a very deep condemnatory attitude. You go on condemning yourself: you are the sinner. They have created guilt in you. So how can a sinner be, right this very moment, the divine? He will have to get rid of the sin; he will have to suffer for his sins, and time will be needed. He will have to pass through purifications, and only when he has become holy, a saint, will he have a glimpse of the divine.
Particularly in the West, Christianity has given everybody a deep guilt complex. Everybody is guilty - not only about your own sins that you have committed, but also about the sin that Adam committed in the very beginning. You are guilty for it. You carry a burden, a long burden of guilt, so how can you think, imagine, conceive, that right this very moment God is happening to you? The Devil can happen, can be imagined, but not God. You can think of yourself as the Devil but never as the divine.

Nike SB – Red Box to Debut June 2011
April 22nd, 2011 by Aaron Kr. | No comments
Nike SB releases have long been classified by their box, marking off the different eras of the Nike Skateboarding venture into easy to distinguish phases. The blue box era has been underway for quite a while now, and there are a lot of people who will be happy to see it go. Beginning in June with the Zoom Eric Koston One, the age of the Nike SB red box will commence, hopefully bringing with it the promise of brighter things to come. Could the new box be a turning point for Nike SB to recapture some of the magic of the early years? Let us know what you think. via ftsldrs

ffVC Partner John Frankel appeared on CNBC's Squawk Box this morning to discuss InteraXon's new headset, Muse, as well as how disruptors in the portfolio are carrying forward the content revolution. He used GameSalad (a platform for designing video games by dragging and dropping objects rather than writing code) and 500px (an online community and marketplace for photographers) as examples of how technology is powering the content revolution by enabling individuals with talent or good ideas to be content producers. He also discussed Indiegogo and Klout before moving on to the InteraXon demo, in which a subject was able to collapse diffuse particles on her screen into a ball by simply focusing with her mind. When she relaxed, the particles moved apart again.

The Real Housewives are looking pretty unreal these days. Several of the women who make up Bravo's Real Housewives have been in the news for not being as real as they appear. The beautiful homes, cash settlements, singing careers, relationships, and physical fights have all been questioned. Is it okay to fake it just to be a part of The Real Housewives "drama" until you make it?
These Housewives are potentially worse than "wall street" and the politicians who fool the public. Should we bail them out by continuing to watch them every week, just for the sake of what the reality shows do for our curiosity of wealth and fame?
Probably so. Many people do really enjoy escaping their reality to delve into the lives of these seemingly rich women. We live vicariously through them, even though they may be living vicariously through the real wealthy people.
It's been reported that Nene Leakes of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, is really broke and was evicted from her home we all saw on season one. On the show she hangs out with other people who seem to have money so it seems that she must also.
In the same show, Sheree Whitfield poses as a divorcee waiting for her ex-husband (NFL player Bob Whitfield) to give her a six figure alimony settlement. In reality he doesn't have what she wants us to believe he has to pay her off. This has allowed her to continue being a part of the show and its rich culture. But she's recently been sued for not paying her attorney bills.
Kim Zolciak also has been ousted for not paying her bills.
In Orange County land, sources claim that only Vicki Gunvalson makes her own money, but the others do have some money albeit from their husbands or others.
The Real Housewives of NYC, well they seems to be honest about their finances. But they may be faking fights to create drama and story lines for future seasons.
At the end of the day, they take us a place we like to go- whether it's a fake place or a real place.
