Coast Guard Defends Reaction As Oil Nears Land

The Coast Guard on Friday defended the federal response to a massive oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico as the first waves of crude neared Louisiana's wetlands and the White House put a hold on new offshore drilling until the spill is investigated.

Rear Adm. Sally Brice-O'Hara, appearing on multiple TV news shows, said the federal response led by the Coast Guard has been rapid and sustained, and that it has adapted as the threat has grown since a drill rig exploded and sank last week. The Coast Guard, she said, has been closely monitoring efforts directed by oil company BP PLC to contain and stop the spill — which could surpass the Exxon Valdez disaster in scope — and has filled in gaps where needed.

The National Weather Service predicted winds, high tides and waves through Sunday that could push oil deep into the inlets, ponds and lakes that line the boot of southeast Louisiana. Seas of 6 to 7 feet were pushing tides several feet above normal toward the coast, compounded by thunderstorms expected in the area Friday.

Crews are unable to skim oil from the surface or burn it off for the next couple of days because of the weather, Brice-O'Hara said.

Waves may also wash over booms strung out just off shorelines to stop the oil, said Tom McKenzie, a spokesman for U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which is hoping booms will keep oil off the Chandeleur Islands, part of a national wildlife refuge. "The challenge is, are they going to hold up in any kind of serious weather," McKenzie said. "And if there's oil, will the oil overcome the barriers even though they're ... executed well?"

Top White house adviser David Axelrod said Friday that no new oil drilling will be authorized until authorities learn what caused the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon rig about 50 miles off the Louisiana Coast. "No additional drilling has been authorized and none will until we find out what has happened here," he told ABC's Good Morning America. President Obama had recently lifted a drilling moratorium for many offshore areas, including the Atlantic and Gulf areas.

The spill was up to five times larger than first estimated, officials said, and was drifting inexorably toward the Gulf Coast on Friday. "It is of grave concern," David Kennedy of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration told The Associated Press. "I am frightened. This is a very, very big thing. And the efforts that are going to be required to do anything about it, especially if it continues on, are just mind-boggling."

The oil slick could become the nation's worst environmental disaster in decades, threatening hundreds of species of fish, birds and other wildlife along the Gulf Coast, one of the world's richest seafood grounds, teeming with shrimp, oysters and other marine life.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal declared a state of emergency Thursday, and President Obama pledged that his administration will use "every single resource at our disposal." Jindal made the declaration shortly after Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano called the disaster a "spill of national significance."

The Coast Guard worked with British oil giant BP, which operated the rig that exploded April 20 and then sank, to deploy floating booms, skimmers and chemical dispersants, and to set controlled fires to burn the oil off the water's surface. Obama said the response could include the Defense Department.

Thursday's order allows the state to free up resources to begin preparing for the oil to reach the shore.

Napolitano, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and environmental protection administrator Lisa Jackson will travel Friday to the Gulf of Mexico to oversee efforts to contain the spill. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said the administration also may send military ships and personnel to help control damage from the spill.

BP confirmed Thursday that up to 5,000 barrels, or 200,000 gallons, of oil a day are spilling from the site of the deadly oil rig explosion. At that rate, the spill could easily eclipse the worst oil spill in U.S. history — the 11 million gallons that leaked from the grounded tanker Exxon Valdez in Alaska's Prince William Sound in 1989 — in the three months it could take to drill a relief well and plug the gushing well 5,000 feet underwater on the seafloor. Ultimately, the spill could grow much larger than the Valdez because Gulf of Mexico wells typically hold many times more oil than a single tanker.

Jackie Savitz, a toxicology scientist with the environmental group Oceani, says that at the current flow rate, the spill will reach the 11 million gallon mark of the Exxon Valdez spill in 50 days. The Gulf holds several endangered and threatened species, including four species of endangered sea turtle, in addition to dolphins, porpoises and whales.

"This is one of only two spawning areas for bluefin tuna in the world," Savitz said. "If larvae are exposed, there's a good chance they won't survive or their survival will be reduced because of the oil spill." Doug Suttles, the oil company's chief operating officer, told NBC's Today show that oil is bubbling up from the ocean bottom at a rate of 1,000 to 5,000 barrels a day. He said the company would welcome help from the U.S. Defense Department and other agencies in containing the slick.

"We'll take help from anyone," Suttles said.

As the slick has grown, so have potential cleanup costs.

"As the president and the law have made clear, BP is the responsible party" for costs, Napolitano said. Coast Guard Rear Adm. Mary Landry said it may be time for government agencies to offer up "technologies that may surpass abilities of the private sector" to get the slick under control.

Landry said Thursday that more than 5,000 barrels a day of sweet crude are discharging into the gulf, not the 1,000 barrels officials had estimated in the days after the explosion. The new oil spill estimate came from the federal National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration.

Initially, Suttles said he did not believe the amount of oil spilling into the water was greater than earlier estimates. But on Thursday, he acknowledged that the leak may be as high as the government is estimating. "Using the satellite imagery and our overflights, we can now say it looks like it's more than a thousand. It's a range" of up to 5,000, he said.

BP spokesman John Curry said it doesn't really matter what the numbers are; the slick is what it is, and corralling it is the important thing.

"We can't physically go down and put a meter on the leak to measure how much is flowing, so it's all a guess, it's all an estimate," he said. "And the different estimates don't change our response. I mean, they all are within the general range of uncertainty, and we're not going to stop until we get this done."

Eleven workers are missing and presumed dead, and more than 100 escaped the blast, the cause of which has not been determined.

Industry officials say replacing the Deepwater Horizon, owned by Transocean Ltd. and operated by BP, would cost up to $700 million. BP has said its costs for containing the spill are running at $6 million a day. The company said it will spend $100 million to drill the relief well. The Coast Guard has not yet reported its expenses.

Vera Baker was Obama's mistress: Swiss paper says it has evidence to prove it

Swiss newspaper Le Matin is reviving old claims that President Barack Obama had an extramarital affair in 2004 with Vera Baker, a young woman who worked on his campaign team when he was running for Illinois Senator.

The paper claims "video surveillance tapes exist that are rather compromising for the 44th president of the United States." It also alleges that software engineers have dug up email exchanges between Obama and Baker since he has been President.

There are also claims that Michelle Obama found out about the affair and had Baker shipped off to Martinique.

Of course, these "new" revelations could be orchestrated by the ailing, tea-bagging Republican party, which is looking for anything to assassinate Obama's character and jeopardize health care and financial reform. A Lewinsky-type scandal involving Obama is the GOP's wet dream.

But why are these rumors coming from Europe? Here's a guess - Obama is wildly popular there, unlike in the U.S., so turning negative European opinion towards the President would work to the GOP's advantage. It's particularly curious that the rumors are coming from a Swiss source. Isn't that the country where the super-rich hide their money?

Mission Almost Accomplished by Rio De La Cruz

 

After two weeks of decent training and generally lovely weather in Washington DC, Boston greeted us with biting cold gusts of damp wind-not ideal for most tropical inhabitants like us. Although we were forewarned that temperatures in Boston would be cooler than in DC, nothing prepared me for running a marathon in this harsh weather. And to make matters worse, our travel agent messed up our hotel reservations at the Westin Copley Place Hotel. After a 1.5-hour flight from DC, it took over 4 hours before we finally decided to pay extra for another room, just so I could get off my feet and relax for the night.



But the stressful saga continued the following morning when the front desk still could not find our reservations (despite paying for it months ahead) and we had to be transferred to The Colonnade Hotel since the Westin was fully booked for the marathon weekend. The stress level was reaching critical level at this point and my head was ready to explode. To make the long story short, after giving a mouthful to our travel agent over the phone, we were finally able to get a room for our last 3 nights. But we couldn’t even check into the room yet because it wasn’t ready. It was already past lunchtime and with no breakfast and lunch on the day before my race, I was already fuming mad, stressed out, and starving. And I still had to pick up my number packet at the John Hynes Veterans Convention Center! Good thing the pick-up venue was just across and walking distance from our hotel. We saw a Chinese bistro along the way so we settled for a disappointing brunch of bland Americanized Chinese food before proceeding to the number pick-up.  continue reading here

Eminem Calls Relapse 'Ehh' In New Song, 'Not Afraid'

Eminem unveiled "Not Afraid," the first single from his forthcoming Recovery album, on (April 29) Thursday morning, and the track is a strong departure from the usual lead cuts Slim Shady delivers: There are no jabs at pop-culture icons, no jovial goofballing. Mr. Mathers is reflective and remorseful over the Boi-1da-produced track.

"It's been a ride, I guess I had to go to that place to get to this one. Some of you might still be in that place. If you trying to get out, follow me," he says, talking at the beginning of the track.

As the raps starts to kick in, Em threatens to "tear down" those who looked down on him.

"You can try to read my lyrics off of this paper before I lay 'em/ But you won't take the sting out these words before I say 'em.

"I'm not afraid/ To take a stand," he continues on the chorus. "Everybody come take my hand/ We'll walk this road together through the storm/ Whatever weather come the war/ Just letting you know that you're not alone/ Holla if you feel been down the same road."

On the second verse, Em admits to some artistic missteps and declares that his last album, Relapse, was a bit of letdown.

"To the fans, I never let you down again, I'm back/ I promise to never go back on that promise," the MC says in the song's second verse. "In fact, let's be honest/ That last Relapse CD was ehh/ Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground/ Relax, I ain't going to do that now."

Later in the verse, Em talks about his personal struggles.

"But I think I'm still trying to figure this crap out/ Thought I had it mapped out, but I guess I didn't/ It's time to exorcise these demons / These muthaf---as are doing jumping jacks now."

As the song comes to a close, Em says he doesn't want any more drama and wants to focus on raising his family.

"I can't just keep living this way," he sings. "So starting today, I'm breaking out of this cage / I'm standing up, I'mma face my demons/ I'm manning up, I'mma hold my ground/ I've had enough, I'm so fed up/ Time to put my life back together right now."

Dancing With The Stars Elimination April 27


Dancing with the Stars elimination April 27: Jake Pavelka sent packing

The Dancing with the Stars elimination April 27th spelled doom for former Bachelor star Jake Pavelka, as he finished the week with the lowest combined score from the judges as well as the fewest votes from the public.

It's yet another elimination for a reality TV star, which is ironic, considering the show itself is reality TV. The world of sports continued to hold its own, meanwhile, as Erin Andrews and her partner finished with the second-highest score of the week, while Chad Ochocinco climbed into third place.

A surprising fifth-place finish belonged to ice skater and Winter Olympic gold medalist Evan Lysacek, who thus far has been crushing it on the show.

In the end, though, Lysacek remains a favorite, along with Pussycat Dolls performer Nicole Scherzinger, who once again took the top spot.

I've mentioned a number of times the kind of advantage athletes have on a show like this, but Scherzinger might be the ultimate favorite given that she's a musical performer by trade. Dancing is part of her daily routine, no doubt.

Lysacek remains a favorite, too, and it wouldn't surprise me to see the two of them duke it out down the stretch for the top spot. Andrews remains my darkrhorse pick, though she's no longer under the radar after weeks of impressive performances.

Meet Einstein worlds smallest horse weighs newborn baby


This pint-sized stallion could be a record breaker as the world's smallest foal.
The three-day old pinto stallion, called Einstein, is just 14 inches high and weighs only an incredible 6lbs.


Einstein
Pint-sized: Einstein the pinto stallion weighed just 6lbs when he was born on Friday in Barnstead, New Hampshire

The diminutive horse was born in Barnstead, New Hampshire, on Friday at Tiz Miniature Horse Farm.
His tiny proportions may be more suitable for a human baby, but they are tiny for a horse, even a miniature breed like Einstein.


Einstein
Horsing about: The three-day-old foal, which could be the smallest horse ever born, is petted by a visitor at the miniature horse farm


Dr Rachel Wagner, Einstein's co-owner, claims the Guinness Book of Records lists the smallest newborn horse as weighing just 9lbs.
Breeders say that unlike the current record holder, Thumbelina, Einstein shows no signs of dwarfism - he is just a tiny horse.

Measuring up: Co-owner Dr Rachel Wagner holds a ruler up next to the tiny horse as he plays in a field
