Firefighters arriving at a burning house in Idaho say they heard what sounded like people calling for help from inside. Once they got the flames contained, they found the source of the calls: two parrots. The firefighters say the birds were actually saying "Help!" and "Fire!"

“You know the saying, ‘Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it’? Well, she knows the history ... more so than anybody else in the state of New Hampshire,” said Kathy Sullivan, former state Democratic Party chairwoman. “It’s just a wise thing for someone to sit down and talk to her and get her input and her wisdom.” Hancock serves as a reservoir of wisdom on the political landscape of a state that, with its first in the nation primary, can knock candidates from the race or rescue them from obscurity. John Lynch, the former governor of New Hampshire and one of Hancock’s longtime friends, said that her stamp of approval is more than an endorsement.

"My gun is loaded," Hanger recalled McVeigh telling him as Hanger grabbed the bulge under the jacket. "So is mine," the trooper responded, putting his own gun to McVeigh's head before arresting him for unlawfully carrying a concealed weapon. If he hadn't spotted the bulge, he would have let McVeigh go with a ticket.

“It’s not like I thought the show wasn’t working any more, or that I didn’t know how to do it. It was more, ‘Yup, it’s working. But I’m not getting the same satisfaction.’” He slaps his hands on his desk, conclusively. “These things are cyclical. You have moments of dissatisfaction, and then you come out of it and it’s OK. But the cycles become longer and maybe more entrenched, and that’s when you realise, ‘OK, I’m on the back side of it now.’”

Over the last month, the company has released PR materials that highlight the Gulf’s resilience, as well as a report compiling scientific studies that suggest the area is making a rapid recovery. But evidence is mounting that five years after millions of gallons of oil spilled into the Gulf of Mexico, wildlife is still struggling to rebound. A new report, released [on March 30] by the National Wildlife Federation (NWF), suggests that at least 20 species are still being affected by the spill.

Last week, NASA also reported this was the hottest three-month start of any year on record. In NASA’s database, though, this was the third warmest March on record. It was the warmest in the dataset of the Japan Meteorological Agency. These three agencies use slightly different methods for tracking global temperature, so their monthly and yearly rankings differ slightly, even as they all show the same long-term trend driven by carbon pollution.
