What has been the most help has been the dogs

"What has been the most help has been the dogs in finding people. And then our bare hands and shovels," he said.
Wreckage is covered in gray muck. Backhoes scoop only partial loads and sometimes spread them on the ground, where several people look through carefully to
make sure no victim or clue is overlooked.
"People are under logs, mixed in. It's a slow process," said Steve Mason, a fire battalion chief.
From a hillside, searchers can be seen walking on planks across mud mounds to reach wrecked houses.
The mood is somber. Fire Chief Travis Hots watches silently as a chaplain drapes a comforting arm around a searcher.
The feverish work at the site of the slide is mirrored by volunteers in nearby towns busy feeding, clothing and housing those displaced.
Now, "the world knows where Oso is," Snohomish County Executive John Lovick said at a news briefing on Wednesday.
"They also now know that we are more than a small community. We are a large family."

Paltrow’s ‘conscious uncoupling’ confounds many
NEW YORK — Like any world unto itself, Hollywood has its own lexicon. But Gwyneth Paltrow’s use of the term “conscious uncoupling” to describe her

actress and her rock-star husband on Paltrow’s lifestyle website, goop. (Which — surprise! — crashed from the traffic.)
