(RTTNews) - BP Plc (BP: News ,BP.L: News ) Monday said that the cost of response for the Gulf of Mexico oil spill has reached $3.95 billion to date.

Meanwhile, reports stated that talks between BP and independent oil and gas producer Apache Corp. (APA: News ) regarding BP’s potential sale of half of its stake in Alaska’s Prudhoe Bay oil field to Apache stalled over the weekend, raising concerns over the completion of the transaction.

via The BP Oil Spill – British Petroleum Company PLC spent $3.95 Billion so far…

This is mainly because they don’t really know – Nobody does… Some experts put it at 4.2 million gallons have leaked a day!

Department of Energy	1,470,000 GAL/Day	x 86 days = 092,340,117 Gallons
BP (Worst Case)	2,520,000 GAL/Day	x 86 days = 216,720,000 Gallons
Experts (Worst Case)	4,200,000 GAL/Day	x 86 days = 361,200,000 Gallons

Some people might wonder why BP has kept so quiet about how much oil is spilling into the Gulf of Mexico. One reason would be the staggering 33,801,600 Gallons of oil collected by BP since the start of the response. This would mean that there is about 58,538,517 gallons still left unaccounted for. (327,398,400 gallons for worst case)

“SOUTH BEND — The trial for a 24-year-old man accused of rape has been canceled after he pleaded guilty Monday for the second time.” Read Accused rapist pleads guilty for second time on WSBT By: ALICIA GALLEGOS, Tribune Staff Writer (Source)

Anthony Frick plead guilty of rape which will save time on a trial and our tax money…

“Anthony Frick pleaded guilty this afternoon to rape and two counts of criminal deviate conduct, all A felonies, along with impersonating a police officer, a Class D felony.”

Anthony was accused of these charges after an incident where he was intoxicated. Frick impersonated a police officer to gain entry into an elder ladies home. He then attacked, raped, and threatened this 67-year old women with her life.

“Frick faces 60 to 153 years in prison at sentencing, scheduled for March 9.”

Now I knew Anthony about 6 years ago from Penn High School, along with his brother. I guess I would say I would have never guessed that he would do something like this, but things change in 6 years. Reading Anthony Frick’s Myspace Page it talks about Beer and Girls mostly, with a little mention of his 1-year-old daughter…

Quoted from Anthony Frick’s Page:

“Who I’d like to meet: Girls who can drink alot of beer”

“Im 20 years old I like to drink alot of beer and have a good time. If im not drinking im working”

“shooting pool drinking beer and raising my 1 year old daughter”

“Movies: dont really care i usually dont watch them im doing better things during the movie”

“Books: nope dont read well maybe playboy”

“Heroes: your mom”

Hardly a model citizen… Reading his profile makes me dislike him even more…

Some people have made some rude comments about his family. They are in no way in any shape or form responsible for his actions. He is an adult, and he made his own decision. I’m sure it is hard enough for them already, and don’t need to be questioned about their own morals.

Read the Original Post @ WSBT: United Way provides free tax preparation

By Alyssa Rossomme (arossomme@wsbt.com) SOUTH BEND — The envelopes from your bank and employer may be starting to pile up at home. It is the time of year people are starting to do their taxes. The United Way is helping local residents keep pennies in their pocket, by offering free tax preparation for those in need.

Trained tax advisers, including some former accountants, will be at many sites throughout South Bend, Elkhart, and Plymouth in the next couple of months. The volunteers will prepare and file taxes for free, for people who need the help most.

Tiffany Reddick is one of the tax assistance volunteers. Last year, she was one of the people who benefited from the free service.

“They were looking to help me get as much money as possible. You know, they weren’t just rushing through everything. They were taking their time, asking me questions, making sure I was getting everything I could get,” Reddick said.

“The benefit we’re looking to help people with is to keep their money in their pocket,” said Dawn Chapla of the United Way of St. Joseph County. “That’s kind of a plain way to say it.”

This year, the United Way ramped up its volunteer income tax assistance program because of a growing need. More than 75 volunteers, like Reddick, will file refunds for up to 2000 families in this area.

“There are a lot of people who don’t have work or whose incomes are diminished for a number of reasons ‒ or are afraid they will be one of those who won’t have incomes they’ve been used to ‒ so saving every penny is important,” said Kay Ball of the United Way of St. Joseph County.

Reddick said she not only saved money on the preparation, she also got a bigger return than she ever had before.

The tax preparers will make sure every person who uses the free service receives the earned income tax credit if they qualify. The government credit gives low-income workers a portion of their paid taxes back. It can give those families a couple extra thousand dollars to help pay their bills.

To benefit from the tax assistance program, call 211 to set up an appointment. There are 9 sites throughout St. Joseph, Marshall, and Elkhart counties. They will let you know what items you need to bring with you.
