Gulf oil spill: How you can help
CNN Wire Staff
Efforts to minimize the damage from the huge oil spill from a rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico are under way, but wildlife conservation groups say the oil could pose a disaster for Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida coastal areas.
How can you help? A number of organizations are recruiting volunteers.
The Audubon Society, which is affiliated with the Louisiana Coastal Initiative, is making its Center for Birds of Prey in Florida available for bird cleansing and rehabilitation and is seeking volunteers. Elsewhere, Audubon said it was gearing up to mobilize volunteers and provide assistance as the oil reaches land in Louisiana and elsewhere. Find a local office

Video: Track the oil spill
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
AC360° created this animation to show how the oil spill has spread through the Gulf. These maps are all based on photographs taken by the NOAA from helicopters over the Gulf of Mexico. It shows how the oil has moved and shifted along with the currents and the winds in the Gulf from May 20th- June 14th.
That map is different from most of the maps we have seen which shows a predicted path for the oil in the Gulf. You can find the NOAA's maps and predictions below:

One of the main indicators that a person is capable of postformal thought is the ability to hold two completely dissimilar thoughts in mind at the same time. And so it is that the subject I’m about to discuss is both cool on an epic scale at the very same time it’s really, really boring.
Here’s the exciting part. Imagine you could go back to the Clinton era (I know, some of you are already crying), and view White House emails right in an email client, just like it might have felt to send and receive them in the White House.
How cool is that? Remember, Clinton was in office just as the Internet was getting started, so many of our current email systems didn’t even exist back then. This was a time before the Bush administration’s whole missing email debacle, and waaay before systems like Gmail were even a twinkle in Google’s eye (Google, of course, didn’t exist then, either).
So let’s travel back in time to the 1990s
