Rescuers were racing against the clock Monday to save two huge sperm whales stranded on a Tasmanian sandbank after 22 others died, the Parks and Wildlife Service said. Marine mammal specialists were on site in Macquarie Harbour at Strahan on Tasmania's northwest coast, but the rescue bid was hampered by rough weather. Twenty-two of the cheap north face jackets whales -- each weighing two tonnes and up to 12 metres (40 feet) long -- washed ashore on Saturday at Ocean Beach near Strahan, and all of them died. Four others came into the harbour and became stranded on a sandbank. Two of these were successfully refloated and swam back out to sea, but the other two remain stuck. Rescuers cheap north face jackets said two minke whales also got into trouble nearby and died. Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife incident controller Chris Arthur said the sperm whales were so big that they could not simply be pulled into deeper water by volunteers, instead requiring a more complicated rescue operation.

    Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner acknowledged that it is still a tough economy for most Americans, and warned its possible the unemployment rate will go up for a couple of months before it comes down as more people enter the labor force. When they see a little hope that there may be jobs out there, they start to come back in again. And that can cause the measured unemployment rate to go up — temporarily, Geithner told Good Morning Americas George Stephanopoulos in an exclusive interview. But what we expect to see, and I think most forecasters expect this…is an economy thats gradually healing, gradually strengthening, businesses starting to add people back.
