---Crisis Management---
AskMen derives some lessons from BP about managing a crisis
at work.  If you're going above and beyond to manage crises,

---Oil---
Motley Fool says that just one month before its April 20
Gulf of Mexico oil spill, BP claimed it could skim 491,721
barrels of oil a day in the event of a major oil spill.  The
real number is closer to 900 barrels.
