Steve Miller, who has sold some of his produce at local farmers markets, as well as growing food for himself, is likely the victim of an Online Aerial Invasion of Private Property.

Martin Luther King must have imagined that the man with the camera so often at his side was doing no more than recording history.

BP Says Limits on Drilling Imperil Oil Spill Payouts
BP is warning Congress that if lawmakers pass legislation that bars the company from getting new offshore drilling permits, it may not have the money to pay for all the damages caused by its oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
The company says a ban would also imperil the ambitious Gulf Coast restoration efforts that officials want the company to voluntarily support.

The explosion killed 11 workers and spewed millions of barrels of oil into the gulf.
