Crude oil continues to wash ashore along the Gulf of Mexico coast a year after BP Plc (BP/) stopped the flow from its damaged Macondo well, which caused the worst U.S. offshore spill, government officials said. About 491 miles (790 kilometers) of coastline in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida were contaminated by BP oil as of July 9, the last available tally from field inspections, Tim Zink, a spokesman for the National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration, said in an e-mailed message.

A total of 1,074 miles has been oiled since the spill began, he said. “The bulk of the work is picking up tar balls on the beaches,” U.S. Coast Guard Captain Julia Hein, the federal on- scene coordinator of the cleanup, said in an interview today. “The stuff is nontoxic. It’s more of an eyesore.” The U.S. government estimates that 4.9 million barrels were spilled into the Gulf from Macondo after the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded on April 20, 2010.

There's nothing new about calling somebody gay based on a lisp or a girlish gait. Is it? The five key experiments, conducted by Nicholas Rule, Nalini Ambady, Reginald Adams Jr., and Neil Macrae, are impressive. In the second study, the research team removed various facial clues from the pictures to see whether their absence made a difference. Even when the students were shown just one feature for each man—hair, mouth, or eyes—they outperformed random guessing.

And this is the problem, more generally, with using personal-ad photos in gaydar experiments.

Earlier this week, some audio received attention of Michele Bachmann talking about homosexuality, LGBT people, and her "sad" openly gay family member at the National Education Leadership Conference in 2004.
