FILE - In this Sept. 2001 file photo provided by Queensland Tourism, the Great Barrier Reef off Australia's Queensland state is shown in an aerial view. Researchers said it is too early to know exactly how much of the reef has been affected by recent flooding, which carved a wide path of destruction on land before draining into the sea off the country's northeast coast.

This Dec. 1, 2010 photo provided by the University of Georgia, made from the submarine Alvin, shows dead brittle stars on a still-damaged sea floor about 10 miles north of the BP oil rig accident. Brittle stars are normally bright orange and tightly wrapped around corals, but these were white and loose. We consistently saw dead fauna (animals) at all these sites, said Marine biologist Samantha Joye of the University of Georgia. Its likely theres a fairly large area impacted, she said.

After students at northern New Jersey's Ramapo College were hospitalized because of the effects of Four Loko _ which contains caffeine, other common energy-drink ingredients, and as much alcohol as four beers _ the college president ordered last month that it and similar drinks be banned. He's encouraging other colleges and the state to follow suit. (AP Photo/Paul Sakuma) (AP)
