right now, we're at one spot where the mississippi river meets the gulf of mexico. and this is one area where all that rain we saw earlier in the week in the south that caused so much damage in some areas may help here. eventually all that rain has to flow out, potentially keeping the oil at bay. local townships are not counting on that. one parish near new orleans sent out awe jack-up boat for the first time, an odd-looking rig with three huge upward columns that extend downward once at circumstance allowing crews to anchor a command post near the slick where they can monitor rapid response teams. even though officials said today the slick will not move for at least three days. >> if it gets into the backwaters, into the bayous, it will devastate south louisiana for years to come. >> reporter: there is also news tonight about those 38 dead turtles that washed up on shore this past weekend. officials have said that they had nothing to do with the oil. however, it turns out federal authorities are now investigating local shrimpers to see if the turtles died after shr

mississippi shares 2.4% for example. that doesn't sound like much to me. what are your thoughts about how we could better define what the money is for to make sure it carries out the intent of the congress? >> thank you, senator. the institutional development awards usually called idea grants have been strongly supported by nih and are administered by the national research sources and as the budget for fy 2010 went up to $229 million. these are competitive. they are available to the states identified as idea states one of which is mississippi but there are a number of others traditionally underfunded by nih oftentimes because they have a lower proportion of institutions' heavy and research efforts but we felt we needed to be sure. we were finding opportunities in those states and the states have opportunities for the nih funding. there's a couple of specific programs, biomedical research excellence or cobra is one. there is an ibm network of biomedical research excellence, and in fact most of the states in the idea network have been applying for those and
