Oil Rig Had History of Problems
I wonder if Don Blankenship (Massey Energy CEO) is also CEO of the company that was operating the oil rig that exploded. According to this article from Yahoo, the oil rig also had a history of problems.

Lily and Hope
The adventures of Lily and her cub, Hope, continue on unabated in the Minneapolis north woods. I was just at the site and there are some absolutely amazing video clips from April 28 and April 24. Hope is so much fun to watch.
One clip shows the two of them in separate trees and it’s amazing to see how agile they are in the trees. I never realized bears were THAT agile in trees.
