Estimates for the amount of thick sludge that gushed from a Tennessee coal plant last week have tripled to more than a billion gallons, as cleanup crews try to remove the goop from homes and railroads and halt its oozing into an adjacent river.
The drinking water in the area of last month's coal-sludge spill in eastern Tennessee is safe, but elevated levels of arsenic have been found in the sludge, authorities said.

Underrated: Butler. The Bulldogs reached the Sweet 16 as a No. 5 seed last year, then went 29-3 this season ... and were rewarded with a No. 7 slot in the same pod as Tennessee.
The AP poll's old No. 1 lost on Saturday. Its new No. 1 lost on Tuesday. There's chaos at the top of the college basketball world, but in chaos can be found opportunity.
Tennessee takes over as the No. 1 overall seed this week while Memphis sits a spot behind the Vols. There were five other contenders -- North Carolina, Duke, Kansas, UCLA and Texas -- for the other two top spots. I went with the Tar Heels and 'Horns. The latter may come as a surprise; however, Texas has gone undefeated in February and its 19-point win over Tennessee on Nov. 24 has never looked better. Victories over the Jayhawks and Bruins don't hurt, either.
AT&T Inc. is partnering with Tennessee to provide the country's first statewide system to electronically exchange patient medical information, the telecommunications company said Monday
For Tennessee, having five signees on the McDonald's All-American roster is business as usual. For Rutgers, having five future Scarlet Knights among the group is significent progress.

The former Senator remains on the ballot and could win delegates in his home state
A Tennessee judge resigned last month after making a recording of fantasies so lurid that police and FBI officials thought they were listening to a torture session and believed it might be linked to a murder case
College hoops turns the corner into the conference home-stretch this evening, and as much as we think we've learned from the first two months of the season, it's not enough. The final Associated Press poll of December 2006 is evidence of just how worthless early-season assessments can be. No one considered that Top 25 to be a total abomination at the time, and yet there was one future NIT team (Alabama) in the top 10 and three more (Oklahoma State, Air Force and Clemson) scattered below.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- It used to be -- maybe a week ago or so -- that major league teams, every last one of them, would get all huffy about the importance of holding onto their young and talented prospects. Build from within, they all said. Scout and develop. Go homegrown. That's the way to do business.
Rankings to devour if you're not busy confronting Bob Knight -- with a bad video camera in hand -- for firing shotgun pellets into your swimming pool...
Several teams remain unbeaten through the early weeks of the season, but two have really separated themselves from the rest of the pack. Tennessee is beating opponents by an average of 27 points. Connecticut is winning by an even more impressive 40 points a game. That's not against an easy schedule, either.
Billy Ray Cyrus and his daughter, Miley, want to shoot their upcoming Hannah Montana movie in their home state of Tennessee, but it may not happen for them, according to the Associated Press.
Quarterback issues. They're everywhere in the NFL. Injuries and ineffectiveness in Week 5 gave us a whole new set of topics to sink our teeth into. To wit:
Just as the college football world was turned upside down last weekend, the preps world went stagant. No team in the top 25 lost, and only a handful received true challenges.
The chant came thundering down Strawberry Canyon on a picturesque Saturday night in Berkeley. The Golden Bears were on their way to avenging an embarrassing loss to Tennessee in convincing fashion, and the backdrop to the cross-country matchup had a voice: "Pac-Ten Foot-Ball," cried the masses inside Memorial Stadium. "Pac-Ten Foot-Ball."
It comes in with a whimper, this 2007 season, offering a single battle between ranked teams on opening weekend. Not on a pale blue afternoon in a venerable college football town, either, but rather under lights, in Berkeley, with a busted pinkie -- a pinkie! -- as the most intriguing game-week development. Why, though, should any of us complain? This is not a point in the year where the sport needs to sell itself. It's been eight months. We're starving. We'll take anything. And this -- Rocky Top meets Tightwad Hill -- ain't bad for our first Saturday night.
In March 2006, the Tennessee board that regulates cemeteries got a five-page complaint, in neatly penned cursive longhand, from Geraldine Story, an elderly Memphis woman. Story's husband Ralph had died on January 22. In preparation for that day, he and she had each, more than thirty years earlier, purchased prepaid funeral services from the Forest Hill Funeral Home in Memphis, to make sure that each's burial expenses would not be a burden to the other or to their families.
Cleaning up contaminated water is big business. World demand for treatment is forecast to increase 6 percent per year through 2009 to more than $35 billion, according to a 2006 report by research firm Freedonia.
Last Friday night, I was sitting in the backseat of a cab with the windows rolled down when a dude in a convertible pulled up next to me blasting that song Hey there, Delilah. It's been stuck in my head for five straight days since. The good news is, it's soft, melodious and not nearly as annoying as Outkast's Hey Ya!, which, you may recall, got stuck in the heads of the entire American population for a good two months in the winter of 2004.
Philip Workman has prepared to die three times before.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's new get-tough policy has gotten rave reviews, and rightly so. But there's get-tough, and then there's getting ridiculous. As in fining Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher $100,000 for wearing a non NFL-approved cap to Super Bowl media day, while sipping from a non NFL-approved bottle of water.
CLEVELAND -- Tennessee finally returned to the top of women's college basketball on Tuesday night, beating Rutgers 59-46 to give the Lady Vols an unprecedented seventh title. With Wade Trophy winner Candace Parker returning, Tennessee has a good shot at No. 8 in '08.
CLEVELAND -- The drought is over.

So much for star power. Or firepower, for that matter. Tennessee and North Carolina, the only top seeds to reach the Final Four, were missing both in their semifinal matchups Sunday at Quicken Loans Arena. North Carolina's Ivory Latta spent about as much time on the bench as she did the floor during the first half. Latta picked up her third foul 11 minutes in. Tennessee got even less time from Candace Parker. She played just eight minutes.
SI.com's experts weigh in with their predictions for this Sunday's race in Bristol, Tenn.
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- If only I'd had a chance to talk to Dane Bradshaw beforehand, I might not have made the mistake of picking Long Beach State over Tennessee as my obligatory 12 over 5 upset -- a game that instead wound up as a 121-86 Volunteer whitewashing.
Tennessee general manager Mike Reinfeldt sits in Nashville with $26.5 million in cap room not burning a hole in his pocket. Green Bay GM Ted Thompson does the same with $21.8 million to spend in northeast Wisconsin. And through the mayhem of the first 10 days of free agency, the two guys who run the football side of those teams -- coincidentally, former roommates with the Houston Oilers -- are gritting their teeth, watching money get spent foolishly in some cases, and waiting for the market to simmer down.
It's a Mata-Matta world -- in that order -- at the top of the regular season's final Power Rankings.
On the morning of Tennessee's home game against Oklahoma State on Dec. 18, Volunteers senior forward Dane Bradshaw was in so much pain from tendonitis in both his shoulders that he could barely lift his arms over his head. Yet, there was Bradshaw, all 6-foot-4, 205 pounds of him, fighting amongst the giants to tip in teammate Ramar Smith's miss with 1.9 seconds remaining to give UT a 79-77 win. It was the kind of play Bradshaw has made throughout his career, during which he has compiled far more memorable moments than eye-popping statistics.
America is a heavy nation and getting heavier, especially young people. The number of overweight children aged 6-11 more than doubled the past 20 years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Health experts warn that unless we do something to stop it, those numbers will continue to rise.
Monday night's Duke-Tennessee matchup had all the makings of a Final Four game and the Blue Devils proved that they are the favorites to win the title with an impressive 84-80 win in Knoxville.

Asthma hits all areas of the United States, but Knoxville, Tennessee, is the worst, according to an organization's ranking of the nation's cities released Tuesday.
John Kerry has one more thing in common with Michael Dukakis today, but Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie shouldn't get too excited. Kerry yesterday became the only non-Southern Democrat in 36 years, other than Dukakis, to beat a Southern candidate in the South, making it increasingly hard to see how anyone derails his nomination coronation.
