What's going on with Cathy's work?

I haven't said much about it because I am constrained to do so.  With the spill ongoing, the heavy lifting is being done by BP contractors and the Coast Guard.  NOAA will become the lead agency after the well is capped and the relatively easy-to-get-to oil is cleaned up.  Meantime, within NOAA there are strategic planning and positioning issues to sort out.  I expect in time the dust (and oil) will settle and I'll be able to say more. 

Meanwhile, I sense tangible hope that the new well cap may get this monster under control.
