Recent pictures of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico

It's not looking good, is it? Hope they figure something out, and soon:
While tracking the volume of the continued flow of oil is difficult, an estimated 5,000 barrels of oil (possibly much more) continues to pour into the gulf every day. 

Feel good story of the day

A skydiving instructor and his tandem skydiving partner had their parachutes fail. What does he do? He positions  himself UNDER the woman, and breaks her fall. She is fine, and he is paralyzed. Talk about heroic.
