ABC News By CAIN BURDEAU and JEFFREY COLLINS, Associated Press Writers Cain Burdeau And Jeffrey Collins, Associated Press Writers – 2 hrs 52 mins ago BARATARIA BAY, La. – Shoots of marsh grass and bushes of mangrove trees already are starting to grow back in the bay where just months ago photographers shot startling images of dying pelicans coated in oil from the massive Gulf oil spill. More than a dozen scientists interviewed by The Associated Press say the marsh here and across the Louisiana coast is healing itself, giving them hope delicate wetlands might weather the worst offshore spill in U.S. history better than they had feared. Some marshland could be lost, but the amount appears to be small compared with what the coast loses every year through human development. On Tuesday, a cruise through the Barataria Bay marsh revealed thin shoots growing up out of the oiled mass of grass. Elsewhere, there were still gray, dead mangrove shrubs, likely killed by the oil, but even there new green growth was coming up. "These are areas that were black with oil," said Matt Boasso, a temporary worker with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. As crude from a blown-out BP well oozed toward the marshes after an April oil-rig explosion, experts had feared it would kill roots in marsh grass, smother the mangroves and ultimately dissolve wetlands that plant life was holding together. State, federal and BP cleanup efforts were focused on preventing that from happening by burning and skimming the oil, blocking it with booms and sand berms and breaking it up with chemical dispersants.

"There are hardly any sellers out there and the 10-year yield could stay below 1 percent through August," said Tetsuya Miura, chief market analyst at Mizuho Securities. "It is difficult to logically justify the benchmark yielding less than 1 percent, but a bullish trend is in place. The yield could fall even further as long as the trend remains intact." reuters.com There's your brave new world.
