New oil numbers may mean more environmental damage By SETH BORENSTEIN and HARRY R. WEBER, Associated Press Writers 12:40PM JUNE 11,10

HOUSTON – New numbers showing the amount of oil gushing from a well in the Gulf of Mexico may be double as much as previously thought means the crude is likely to travel farther away, threatening more birds, fish and other wildlife that call the fragile waters their home, scientists said Friday.The new figures could mean 42 million gallons to more than 100 million gallons of oil have already fouled the Gulf's delicate ecosystem and are affecting people who live, work and play along the coast from Louisiana to Florida — and perhaps beyond.More oil means the giant gooey cloud can spread out over a greater distance, having far worse consequences for the environment, said Paul Montagna, a marine biologist at Texas A&M University Corpus Christi.Doubling the amount of oil does not have a linear effect, it doesn't double the consequences, it may instead have quadruple the consequences, Montagna, who studies the Gulf of Mexico deep sea reefs and other underwater ecosystems, said.The new spill estimates released Thursday are worse than earlier ones — and far more costly for BP, which has seen its stock sink since the April 20 explosion that killed 11 workers and triggered the spill. Most of the new estimates had more oil flowing in an hour than what officials once said was spilling in an entire day.The spill was flowing at a daily rate that could possibly have been as high as 2.1 million gallons, twice the highest number the federal government had been saying, said U.S. Geological Survey Director Marcia McNutt, who is coordinating estimates. But she said possibly more credible numbers are a bit lower.

Those estimates were the third — and perhaps not the last — time the U.S. government has had to increase its estimate of how much oil is gushing. Trying to clarify what has been a contentious and confusing issue, officials gave a wide variety of figures on Thursday.But none of the estimates took into account the cutting of the well's riser pipe on June 3 — which BP said would increase the flow by about 20 percent — and subsequent placement of a cap. No estimates were given for the amount of oil gushing from the well after the cut. Nor are there estimates since a cap was put on the pipe, which already has collected more than 3 million gallons.The increased estimates presents a larger danger to the animals who live the Gulf's coastal marshes, said John Andrew Nyman, a wetlands ecologist at Louisiana State University.

For example, the brown pelican population was believed to be near its healthy capacity before the spill, Nyman said, but with the spill continually gooing a larger area of its sensitive coastal habitat, the increase in pelican deaths could seriously impact the bird's recent recovery.This is a nightmare that keeps getting worse every week,said Michael Brune, the executive director of the Sierra Club. We're finding out more and more information about the extent of the damage.The oil flow estimates are not nearly complete and different teams have come up with different numbers. A new team from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute came in with even higher estimates, ranging from 1 million gallons a day to 2.1 million gallons. If the high end is true, that means nearly 107 million gallons have spilled since April 20.The Obama administration's point man for the Gulf Coast oil spill acknowledged Friday that reliable numbers are hard to get.I think we're still dealing with the flow estimate. We're still trying to refine those numbers,said Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen said.But even using other numbers that federal officials and scientists call a more reasonable range would have about 63 million gallons spilling since the rig explosion. If that amount was put in gallon milk jugs, they would line up for nearly 5,500 miles. That's the distance from the spill to London, where BP is headquartered, and then continuing on to Rome.By comparison, the worst peacetime oil spill, 1979's Ixtoc 1 in Mexico, was about 140 million gallons over 10 months, and the Exxon Valdez, the previous worst U.S. oil spill, was just about 11 million gallons. The new figures mean Deepwater Horizon is producing an Exxon Valdez size spill every five to 13 days.Meanwhile, oil still was washing up on Gulf beaches. But it wasn't as bad Friday morning at Orange Beach, Ala., as it had been earlier in the week. Waves brought in a foot-long chunk of what appeared to be solid oil on the white sand. One side was flat and curved, while the other was honeycombed with bubbles and a single spot where crude oozed out. Standing near the water line, Elaine Fox picked it up without a thought.

I'm not dead, I'm not sick,Fox, of West Monroe, La., said Friday.I think a lot of this is nothing but media hype.With all sorts of estimates for what's flowing from the BP well — some even smaller than the amount collected by BP in its containment cap — McNutt said the most credible range at the moment is between 840,000 gallons and 1.68 million gallons a day. Then she added that it was maybe a little bit more. Scientists used sonar, pressure readings and video analysis to make the new estimates. Previous estimates had put the range roughly between half a million and a million gallons a day, perhaps higher. At one point, the federal government claimed only 42,000 gallons were spilling a day and then it upped the number to 210,000 gallons. Allen said that it will be at least July before BP has the tankers in place to capture oil spilling from the well. And if undersea efforts to direct the oil to the surface succeed, it will take weeks to get the proper equipment in place to hold it, he said.A day earlier, the White House released a letter from Allen inviting BP Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg and any appropriate officials from BP to meet Wednesday with senior administration officials. Allen said Obama, who has yet to speak with any BP official since the explosion, would participate in a portion of the meeting. Asked if a relationship of trust had been established between the White House and BP, Allen said Friday that This has to be a unified effort moving forward if we are to get this thing solved. If you call that trust, yes.Associated Press writers Jason Dearen, Tamara Lush, Ray Henry in New Orleans, Jay Reeves in Orange Beach, Ala., and Ben Evans in Washington contributed to this report.

With each look at oil flow, the numbers get worse By SETH BORENSTEIN and HARRY R. WEBER, Associated Press Writers - 3:15AM JUNE 11,10

HOUSTON – With each new look by scientists, the oil spill just keeps looking worse.

New figures for the blown-out well at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico show the amount of oil spewing may have been up to twice as much as previously thought, according to scientists consulting with the federal government.That could mean 42 million gallons to more than 100 million gallons of oil have already fouled the Gulf's fragile waters, affecting people who live, work and play along the coast from Louisiana to Florida — and perhaps beyond.It is the third — and perhaps not the last — time the U.S. government has had to increase its estimate of how much oil is gushing. Trying to clarify what has been a contentious and confusing issue, officials on Thursday gave a wide variety of estimates.All the new spill estimates are worse than earlier ones — and far more costly for BP, which has seen its stock sink since the April 20 explosion that killed 11 workers and triggered the spill. Most of Thursday's estimates had more oil flowing in an hour than what officials once said was spilling in an entire day.This is a nightmare that keeps getting worse every week,said Michael Brune, executive director of the Sierra Club. We're finding out more and more information about the extent of the damage. ... Clearly we can't trust BP's estimates of how much oil is coming out.The spill was flowing at daily rate that could possibly have been as high as 2.1 million gallons, twice the highest number the federal government had been saying, U.S. Geological Survey Director Marcia McNutt, who is coordinating estimates, said Thursday. But she said possibly more credible numbers are a bit lower.

The estimate was for the flow before June 3 when a riser pipe was cut and then a cap placed on it. No estimates were given for the amount of oil gushing from the well after the cut, which BP said would increase the flow by about 20 percent. Nor are there estimates since a cap was put on the pipe, which already has collected more than 3 million gallons.The estimates are not nearly complete and different teams have come up with different numbers.

That's the distance from the spill to London, where BP is headquartered, and then continuing on to Rome.By comparison, the worst peacetime oil spill, 1979's Ixtoc 1 in Mexico, was about 140 million gallons over 10 months. The Gulf spill hasn't yet reached two months. The Exxon Valdez, the previous worst U.S. oil spill, was just about 11 million gallons, and the new figures mean Deepwater Horizon is producing an Exxon Valdez size spill every five to 13 days.As the crude continues to foul the water, Louisiana leaders are rushing to the defense of the oil-and-gas industry and pleading with Washington to immediately bring back offshore drilling. Though angry at BP over the disaster, state officials warn that the Obama administration's six-month halt to new permits for deep-sea oil drilling has sent Louisiana's most lucrative industry into a death spiral.They contend that drilling is safe overall and the moratorium is a knee-jerk reaction. They worry that it comes at a time when another major Louisiana industry — fishing — has been brought to a standstill by the Gulf mess.Mr. President, you were looking for someone's butt to kick. You're kicking ours,Lafourche Parish President Charlotte Randolph said Thursday.The oil-and-gas brings in billions of dollars in revenue for Louisiana and accounting for nearly one-third of the nation's domestic crude production, and it took a heavy blow when the government imposed the moratorium.It's going to put us out of business,said Glenn LeCompte, owner of a Louisiana catering company that provides food to offshore rigs.

With all sorts of estimates for what's flowing from the BP well — some even smaller than the amount collected by BP in its containment cap — McNutt the most credible range at the moment is between 840,000 gallons and 1.68 million gallons a day. Then she added that it was maybe a little bit more.But later Thursday, the Interior Department said scientists who based their calculations on video say the best estimate for oil flow before June 3 was between 1.05 million gallons a day and 1.26 million gallons a day. The department mentioned only a cubic meter per second rate from Woods Hole — not a rate that translated into actual amounts — and those numbers only added to the confusion on just how much oil is gushing out. Previous estimates had put the range roughly between half a million and a million gallons a day, perhaps higher. At one point, the federal government claimed only 42,000 gallons were spilling a day and then it upped the number to 210,000 gallons.

BP to start burning captured Gulf oil at sea By BRIAN SKOLOFF and RAY HENRY, Associated Press Writers - 12:05PM JUNE 10,10

GRAND ISLE, La. – BP said Thursday that it plans to boost its ability to directly capture hundreds of thousands of gallons of oil gushing from a well at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico by early next week.Kent Wells, BP's senior vice president of exploration and production, said a semi-submersible drilling rig would capture and burn about 420,000 gallons of oil daily. Once on board, the oil and gas collected from the well would be sent down a boom and burned at sea.A drill ship already at the scene can process a maximum of 756,000 gallons of oil daily that's sucked up through a containment cap sitting on the well head.The containment effort played out as BP stock continued to plunge amid fears that the company might be forced to suspend dividends and find itself overwhelmed by the cleanup costs, penalties, damage claims and lawsuits generated by the biggest oil spill in U.S. history.But markets were also beginning to heed warnings from analysts who said Wednesday's 15.8 percent sell-off of BP shares in New York was an overreaction. BP shares dropped as much as 11 percent to a 13-year low at the open in London on Thursday, then recovered some ground by early afternoon, trading 6.1 percent lower at $5.39. In New York, the stock opened 9.8 percent higher at $32.05.

BP has lost around half its market value since the spill began with the April 20 rig explosion that killed 11 workers and set off the spill in the Gulf. In the seven weeks since then, the company has lost half its market value. In a federal filing Thursday, the company said the cost of its response to the oil spill has grown to $1.43 billion.The latest slide came after Interior Secretary Ken Salazar promised a Senate energy panel to ask BP to compensate energy companies for losses if they have to lay off workers or suffer economically because of the Obama administration's six-month moratorium on deep-water drilling. In an interview Thursday on ABC's Good Morning America,Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu reiterated her call to end the moratorium, saying it will cause economic hardship in the region.Every one of these 33 deep-water wells employs, directly, hundreds of people and indirectly thousands," she said.Cleanup continued along the Gulf Coast. In Orange Beach, Ala., reddish-brown globs of oil the size of credit cards littered the beach at the tide line as a blue farm tractor loaded with shovels and other cleanup equipment chugged down the beach. Dozens of workers in orange vests and blue jeans prepared to start their day combing the beach for oil.Shrimpers, oystermen, seafood businesses, out-of-work drilling crews and the tourism industry who have filed damage claims with BP also are angrily complaining of delays, excessive paperwork and skimpy payments that have put them on the verge of going under as the financial and environmental toll of the seven-week-old disaster grows.Every day we call the adjuster eight or 10 times. There's no answer, no answering machine,said Regina Shipp, who has filed $33,000 in claims for lost business at her restaurant in Alabama.If BP doesn't pay us within two months, we'll be out of business. We've got two kids.BP spokesman Mark Proegler disputed any notion that the claims process is slow or that the company is dragging its feet.

Proegler said BP has cut the time to process claims and issue a check from 45 days to as little as 48 hours, if the necessary documentation has been supplied. BP officials acknowledged that while no claims have been denied, thousands and thousands had not been paid by late last week because the company required more documentation.At the bottom of the sea, the containment cap on the ruptured well is capturing 630,000 gallons a day and pumping it to a ship at the surface, and the amount could nearly double by next week to roughly 1.17 million gallons, said Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, who is overseeing the crisis for the government.A second vessel expected to arrive within days should greatly boost capacity. BP also plans to bring in a tanker from the North Sea to help transport oil and an incinerator to burn off some of the crude.The additional system will use equipment previously employed to shoot heavy drilling mud down the well in an attempt to stop the flow, although this time the process will work in reverse. Oil will flow in lines from beneath the blowout preventer, a stack of piping on the sea floor, to a semi-submersible drilling rig called the Q4000.Oil and gas siphoned from the well will flow up the rig, where it will be sent down a boom, turned into a mist and ignited using a burner designed by Schlumberger Ltd. BP opted to burn the oil because storing it would require bringing in even more vessels to the already crowded seas above the leaking well.It was going to become too congested, it was not the safest way to do it, Wells said.Testing on the oil-burning system should begin over the weekend, and full production should start early next week, Wells said. The government has estimated 600,000 to 1.2 million gallons are leaking per day, but a scientist on a task force studying the flow said the actual rate may be between 798,000 gallons and 1.8 million. A task force member said an estimate come Thursday or Friday.Crews working at the site toiled under oppressive conditions as the heat index soared to 110 degrees and toxic vapors emanated from the depths. Fireboats were on hand to pour water on the surface to ease the fumes.Allen also has confronted BP over the complaints about the claims process, warning the company in a letter: We need complete, ongoing transparency into BP's claims process including detailed information on how claims are being evaluated, how payment amounts are being calculated and how quickly claims are being processed.

Under federal law, BP is required to pay for a range of losses, including property damage and lost earnings. Residents and businesses can call a telephone line to report losses, file a claim online and seek help at one of 25 claims offices around the Gulf.To jump-start the process, BP was initially offering an immediate $2,500 to deckhands and $5,000 to fishing boat owners. Workers can receive additional compensation once their paperwork and larger claims are approved. BP said it has paid 18,000 claims so far and has hired 600 adjusters and operators to handle the cases.Associated Press writers Harry R. Weber in Houston, Jay Reeves in Orange Beach, Ala., Eileen Sullivan and Seth Borenstein in Washington contributed to this report. Ray Henry reported from New Orleans.

Scared investors send BP shares to 14-year low By JANE WARDELL and MARK WILLIAMS, AP Energy Writers 6 PM JUNE 9,10

BP stock sank to its lowest point in 14 years Wednesday as investors feared the company would be overwhelmed by the costs of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, perhaps forcing it to cut its robust dividend to pay for the disaster.The stock dropped $5.45, or 16 percent — easily its worst day since the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded seven weeks ago. The company has lost half its market value, a stunning $95 billion, in that time.On Wednesday alone, 238 million shares of BP changed hands, an extraordinary number that was more than double the company's volume for some days earlier this month.It's not time for logic. It's not time for being rational, Fadel Gheit, energy analyst with Oppenheimer & Co., said of the selling.When people say run, you run too. It's a mob mentality.Political pressure is building on BP to slash its dividend or suspend it altogether until the well is capped and hundreds of miles of coastline have been cleaned up. Some investors worry the billions of dollars in liabilities could wipe the company out.The stock closed at $29.20, near its low for the day. Shares of Anadarko Petroleum, which owns a quarter of the sunken rig, fell 19 percent to their lowest level in five years. Transocean Ltd., which owns most of the rig, fell 8 percent.People are anticipating there's a chance that BP, Transocean and Anadarko are going to bankruptcy, said Scott Hanold, an analyst with RBC Capital Markets.It's feeding on itself now.

He noted the cost to insure the debt of all three companies shot up Wednesday, a sign investors are increasingly worried the companies' ability to pay off what they owe.In Washington, the point man for the government's response to the spill said BP was capturing more than 630,000 gallons a day from the gushing well, an elevated figure that could mean both BP and the government have vastly underestimated the totals so far.Estimates for the total cost of the spill grow with every barrel that BP's failed well belches into the Gulf and with each oil-covered pelican or turtle that washes up on a devastated beach.Argus Research analyst Phil Weiss BP did exactly what it should not have with investors in response to the spill: They over-promised and under-delivered.A BP spokesman at the company's command center in Louisiana said he didn't know why the share price plunged. BP told investors Friday that it has considerable firepower to cover the cost of the spill and to give funds to investors.Cutting the dividend would have a big impact in Britain. BP accounts for about an eighth of dividend payments from companies in that country's blue-chip stock index, providing crucial income for retirees. In addition, about 40 percent of BP's shareholders are based in the U.S. BP hasn't said whether it would approve a payout for the second quarter.BP, which earned more than $16 billion last year, has already spent more than $1 billion dealing with the disaster. CEO Tony Hayward last week wouldn't estimate the total bill, though he told analysts that minority partners like Anadarko will be expected to pay as well.Gheit and other analysts say investors are overlooking the fact that BP has deep enough pockets to pay for the spill, fines and damages. It can also borrow another $15 billion, he said.

Analysts at Evolution Securities said the political and media frenzy in response to the Deepwater Horizon accident is understandable, but the share price response appears to be equally frenzied and irrational.But ratings agencies Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch have all downgraded the company, with Fitch warning further downgrades are possible if the clean up and political fallout are more costly than the agency's worst case $5 billion scenario.Matt Simmons, chairman emeritus of energy investment banking company Simmons International, said the oil spill will mean the end of BP as evidence mounts that the spill is far worse than first thought.There's no way the company can survive this,he said.Wardell reported from London. Williams reported from Columbus, Ohio. AP Reporter Chris Kahn in New York, contributed to this report.

Gulf residents angry about BP and claims process By BRIAN SKOLOFF and RAY HENRY, Associated Press Writers - JUNE 9,10 6:30 PM

GRAND ISLE, La. – Gulf Coast fishermen, businesses and property owners who have filed damage claims with BP over the oil spill are angrily complaining of delays, excessive paperwork and skimpy payments that have put them on the verge of going under as the financial and environmental toll of the disaster grows by the day.Out in the Gulf of Mexico, meanwhile, the oil company Wednesday captured an ever larger-share of the crude gushing from the bottom of the sea and began bringing in more heavy equipment to handle it.The containment effort played out as BP stock plunged to its lowest level in 14 years amid fears that the company might be forced to suspend dividends and find itself overwhelmed by the cleanup costs, penalties, damage claims and lawsuits generated by the biggest oil spill in U.S. history.

Shrimpers, oystermen, seafood businesses, out-of-work drilling crews and the tourism industry all are lining up to get paid back the billions of dollars washed away by the disaster, and tempers have flared as locals direct outrage at BP over what they see as a tangle of red tape.Every day we call the adjuster eight or 10 times. There's no answer, no answering machine, said Regina Shipp, who has filed $33,000 in claims for lost business at her restaurant in Alabama. If BP doesn't pay us within two months, we'll be out of business. We've got two kids.An Alabama property owner who has lost vast sums of rental income angrily confronted a BP executive at a town meeting. The owner of a Mississippi seafood restaurant said she is desperately waiting for a check to come through because fewer customers come by for shrimp po-boys and oyster sandwiches.Some locals see dark parallels to what happened after Hurricane Katrina, when they had to wait years to get reimbursed for losses.It really feels like we are getting a double whammy here. When does it end?said Mark Glago, a New Orleans lawyer who is representing a fishing boat captain in a claim against BP.BP spokesman Mark Proegler disputed any notion that the claims process is slow or that the company is dragging its feet.Proegler said BP has cut the time to process claims and issue a check from 45 days to as little as 48 hours, provided the necessary documentation has been supplied. BP officials acknowledged that while no claims have been denied, thousands and thousands of claims had not been paid by late last week because the company required more documentation.

At the bottom of the sea, the containment cap on the ruptured well is capturing 630,000 gallons a day and pumping it to a ship at the surface, and the amount could nearly double by next week to roughly 1.17 million gallons, said Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, who is overseeing the crisis for the government.A second vessel that will arrive within days is expected to greatly boost capacity. BP also plans to bring in a tanker from the North Sea to help transport oil and an incinerator to burn off some of the crude.The government has estimated 600,000 to 1.2 million gallons are leaking per day, but a scientist on a task force studying the flow said the actual rate may be between 798,000 gallons and 1.8 million.Crews working at the site toiled under oppressive conditions as the heat index soared to 110 degrees and toxic vapors emanated from the depths.

It will send workers into Gulf communities to provide information about the process. He also planned to discuss the complaints with BP officials Wednesday.Under federal law, BP is required to pay for a range of damage, including property losses and lost earnings. Residents and businesses can call a telephone line to report losses, file a claim online and seek help at one of 25 claims offices around the Gulf. Deckhands and other fishermen generally need to show a photo ID and documentation such as a pay stub showing how much money they typically earn.

To jump-start the process, BP was initially offering an immediate $2,500 to deckhands and $5,000 to fishing boat owners. Workers can receive additional compensation once their paperwork and larger claims are approved. BP said it has paid 18,000 claims so far and has hired 600 adjusters and operators to handle the cases. The oil giant said it expects to spend $84 million through June alone to compensate people for lost wages and profits. That number could grow as new claims are received. When it is all over, BP could be looking at total liabilities in the billions, perhaps tens of billions, according to analysts. BP stock dropped $5.45, or 16 percent, Wednesday — easily its worst day since the April 20 rig explosion that set off the spill. In the seven weeks since then, the company has lost half its market value.The latest slide came after Interior Secretary Ken Salazar promised a Senate energy panel to ask BP to compensate energy companies for losses if they have to lay off workers or suffer economically because of the Obama administration's six-month moratorium on deepwater drilling. Calculating what is owed to victims of the spill has proved challenging.David Walter owns an Alabama company that makes artificial reefs that anglers buy and drop in the Gulf to attract fish, but state regulators stopped issuing permits for the reefs on May 4 because of the oil spill — effectively killing off $350,000 in expected business.When Walter called a claims adjuster working for BP, he was told to provide four years of invoices for May, June and July along with tax returns for those years. Walter said he sent the forms by overnight mail, but the adjuster assigned to his case changed offices and could not be found. The documents were lost.After making more inquiries, Walter said, he was instructed to gather the same documents and this time go to a claims office. There, an adjuster told Walter he would be eligible for only a $5,000 payment since his tax returns showed a technical business loss when depreciation was factored in. I said that's not fair because if you say that, then I have to go out of business and I lose everything,Walter said. He is now working with an accounting firm to calculate his losses.

Not everyone had complaints about the claims process.Bart Harrison of Clay, Ala., filed his first claim on Wednesday morning for lost rental income on his coastal property and expected to have a check for $1,010 within a few hours. The only documentation required was tax returns and rental histories for his units, which were both easy to provide.The guy I talked to was knowledgeable and respectful. It seemed like he really wanted to write a check and please me since it was my first time in, Harrison said.Associated Press Writers Harry R.

BP plans to burn some oil pumping up to surface By RAY HENRY, Associated Press Writer - JUNE 9,10 8:20 AM

NEW ORLEANS – Now that crews are collecting more and more oil from the sea-bottom spill, the question is where to put it.How about burning it? Equipment collecting the oil and bringing it to the surface is believed to be nearing its daily processing capacity. A floating platform could be the solution to process most of the flow, BP said.To burn it, the British oil giant is preparing to use a device called an EverGreen Burner, officials said. It turns a flow of oil and gas into a vapor that is pushed out its 12 nozzles and burned without creating visible smoke.

Methods for gathering and disposing of the oil collected from the seafloor gusher are becoming clearer. What's not is how much oil is eluding capture.Scientists on a team analyzing the flow said Tuesday that the amount of crude still spewing into the Gulf of Mexico might be considerably greater than what the government and company have claimed.Their assertions — combined with BP's rush to build a bigger cap and its apparent difficulty in immediately processing all the oil being collected — have only added to the impression that BP is still floundering in dealing with the catastrophe.Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen has written to BP CEO Tony Hayward demanding more detail and openness about how the company is handling mounting damage claims in the wake of the Gulf Coast oil spill. Allen reminded Hayward in the letter dated Tuesday that the company is accountable to the American public for the economic loss caused by the oil spill and said he recognized Hayward has accepted responsibility for it.At the same time, the man President Barack Obama named as national incident commander in the wake of the April 20 oil rig explosion and fire told Hayward that BP is failing to provide information we need to meet our responsibilities to our citizens.Speaking to network news shows Wednesday morning, BP Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles continued to insist that no massive underwater oil plumes in large concentrations have been detected from the spill. His comments came a day after the government said water tests confirmed underwater oil plumes, but that concentrations were low.It may be down to how you define what a plume is here, Suttles told NBC's Today show.A cap placed on the ruptured well last week to channel much of the billowing oil to a surface ship collected about 620,000 gallons Monday and another 330,000 from midnight to noon Tuesday, BP said.That would mean the cap is collecting better than half the escaping oil, based on the government's estimate that around 600,000 to 1.2 million gallons a day are leaking from the bottom of the sea.A team of researchers and government officials and run by the director of the U.S. Geological Survey is studying the flow rate and hopes to present its findings in the coming days on what is already the biggest oil spill in U.S. history.

In an interview with The Associated Press, team member and Purdue University engineering professor Steve Wereley said it was a reasonable conclusion but not the team's final one to say that the daily flow rate is, in fact, somewhere between 798,000 gallons and 1.8 million gallons.Whatever the amount, all that oil has to end up somewhere. The floating production and storage vessel BP plans to bring in could be part of the answer, officials said.It's being brought in because it can handle far more oil than this well is producing, said Wine, who did not know where the vessel would come from or when it would arrive.The burn rig will be moved away from the main leak site so the flames and heat do not endanger other vessels, BP spokesman Max McGahan said. Depending on which model is used and its settings, it can handle from 10,500 to 630,000 gallons of oil a day, according to promotional materials by Schlumberger Ltd., the company that makes the device and whose website touts it as producing fallout-free and smokeless combustion.It's unclear how many times the EverGreen burner has been used, but it has been proposed for at least one offshore rig in the North Sea to get rid of unwanted gases produced during oil processing.Environmental documents produced as part of that project, an exploration well proposed by Total E&P of Britain, said burning the oil posed a moderate risk to the environment that would release sulfur dioxide, nitrous oxides, methane and other chemicals.

But Wilma Subra, a chemist with the Louisiana Environmental Action Network, said BP should avoid burning the captured oil — which she said raises new health risks — and instead bring in more processing equipment. This is one of those decisions that will have negative impacts,she said.Even though it's crude dispersed in water, the burning of crude will raise some health issues.When it sells the oil recovered from the Gulf, BP will use the revenues to create a fund to protect wildlife in the region, the company said.In the seven weeks since the oil rig explosion that set off the catastrophe, BP has had to improvise at every turn. The most recent government estimates put the total amount of oil lost at 23.7 million to 51.5 million gallons.

When asked why BP did not have containment systems on standby in case of a leak, BP spokesman Robert Wine said there was no reason to think an accident on this scale was likely.It's unprecedented, he said. That's why these caps weren't there before.
Obama is scheduled to return to the Gulf Coast on Monday and Tuesday for a two-day update on the Gulf oil spill.Contributing to this report were AP Science Writer Seth Borenstein in Washington and Associated Press writers Matthew Brown in Billings, Mont., Harry R.

AP IMPACT: BP spill response plans severely flawed By JUSTIN PRITCHARD, TAMARA LUSH and HOLBROOK MOHR, Associated Press Writers – Wed Jun 9, 4:54 am ET

VENICE, La. – Professor Peter Lutz is listed in BP's 2009 response plan for a Gulf of Mexico oil spill as a national wildlife expert. He died in 2005.Under the heading sensitive biological resources, the plan lists marine mammals including walruses, sea otters, sea lions and seals. None lives anywhere near the Gulf.The names and phone numbers of several Texas A&M University marine life specialists are wrong. So are the numbers for marine mammal stranding network offices in Louisiana and Florida, which are no longer in service.BP PLC's 582-page regional spill plan for the Gulf, and its 52-page, site-specific plan for the Deepwater Horizon rig are riddled with omissions and glaring errors, according to an Associated Press analysis that details how BP officials have pretty much been making it up as they go along. The lengthy plans approved by the federal government last year before BP drilled its ill-fated well vastly understate the dangers posed by an uncontrolled leak and vastly overstate the company's preparedness to deal with one.BP Exploration and Production Inc. has the capability to respond, to the maximum extent practicable, to a worst case discharge, or a substantial threat of such a discharge, resulting from the activities proposed in our Exploration Plan,the oil giant stated in its Deepwater Horizon plan.

In the spill scenarios detailed in the documents, fish, marine mammals and birds escape serious harm; beaches remain pristine; water quality is only a temporary problem. And those are the projections for a leak about 10 times worse than what has been calculated for the ongoing disaster.Billy Nungesser, president of Plaquemines Parish, La., says there are 3,000 acres (of wetlands) where life as we know it is dead, and we continue to lose precious marshland every day.There are other wildly false assumptions. BP's proposed method to calculate spill volume based on the darkness of the oil sheen is way off. The internationally accepted formula would produce estimates 100 times higher.The Gulf's loop current, which is projected to help eventually send oil hundreds of miles around Florida's southern tip and up the Atlantic coast, isn't mentioned in either plan.The website listed for Marine Spill Response Corp. — one of two firms that BP relies on for equipment to clean a spill — links to a defunct Japanese-language page.In early May, at least 80 Louisiana state prisoners were trained to clean birds by listening to a presentation and watching a video. It was a work force never envisioned in the plans, which contain no detailed references to how birds will be cleansed of oil.And while BP officials and the federal government have insisted that they have attacked the problem as if it were a much larger spill, that isn't apparent from the constantly evolving nature of the response.This week, after BP reported the seemingly good news that a containment cap installed on the wellhead was funneling some of the gushing crude to a tanker on the surface, BP introduced a whole new new set of plans mostly aimed at capturing more oil.The latest incarnation calls for building a larger cap, using a special incinerator to burn off some of the recaptured oil and bringing in a floating platform to process the oil being sucked away from the gushing well.

In other words, the on-the-fly planning continues.

Some examples of how BP's plans have fallen short:-Beaches where oil washed up within weeks of a spill were supposed to be safe from contamination because BP promised it could marshal more than enough boats to scoop up all the oil before any deepwater spill could reach shore — a claim that in retrospect seems absurd. The vessels in question maintain the necessary spill containment and recovery equipment to respond effectively,one of the documents says.BP asserts that the combined response could skim, suck up or otherwise remove 20 million gallons of oil each day from the water. But that is about how much has leaked in the past six weeks — and the slick now covers about 3,300 square miles, according to Hans Graber, director of the University of Miami's satellite sensing facility. Only a small fraction of the spill has been successfully skimmed. Plus, an undetermined portion of the spill has sunk to the bottom of the Gulf or is suspended somewhere in between. The plan uses computer modeling to project a 21 percent chance of oil reaching the Louisiana coast within a month of a spill. In reality, an oily sheen reached the Mississippi River delta just nine days after the April 20 explosion. Heavy globs soon followed. Other locales where oil washed up within weeks of the explosion were characterized in BP's regional plan as safely out of the way of any oil danger.

-BP's site plan regarding birds, sea turtles or endangered marine mammals (no adverse impacts) also have proved far too optimistic. While the exact toll on the Gulf's wildlife may never be known, the effects clearly have been devastating. More than 400 oiled birds have been treated, while dozens have been found dead and covered in crude, mainly in Louisiana but also in Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. On remote islands teeming with birds, a visible patina of oil taints pelicans, gulls, terns and herons, as captured in AP photos that depict one of the more gut-wrenching aspects of the spill's impact. Such scenes are no longer unusual; the response plans anticipate nothing on this scale. In Louisiana's Barataria Bay, a dead sea turtle caked in reddish-brown oil lay splayed out with dragonflies buzzing by. More than 200 lifeless turtles and several dolphins also have washed ashore. So have countless fish. There weren't supposed to be any coastline problems because the site was far offshore.Due to the distance to shore (48 miles) and the response capabilities that would be implemented, no significant adverse impacts are expected, the site plan says.But that distance has failed to protect precious resources. And last week, a group of environmental research center scientists released a computer model that suggested oil could ride ocean currents around Florida and up to North Carolina by summer.

-Perhaps the starkest example of BP's planning failures: The company has insisted that the size of the leak doesn't matter because it has been reacting to a worst-case scenario all along.Yet each step of the way, as the estimated size of the daily leak has grown from 42,000 gallons to 210,000 gallons to perhaps 1.8 million gallons, BP has been forced to scramble — to create potential solutions on the fly, to add more boats, more boom, more skimmers, more workers. And containment domes, top kills, top hats.

While a disaster as devastating as a major oil spill will create some problems that can't be solved in advance, or even foreseen, BP's plans do not anticipate even the most obvious issues, and use mountains of words to dismiss problems that have proven overwhelming.In responses to lengthy lists of questions from AP, officials for BP and the Interior Department, which oversees oil rig regulator Minerals Management Service, appear to concede there were problems with the two oil spill response plans.Many of the questions you raise are exactly those questions that will be examined and answered by the presidential commission as well as other investigations into BP's oil spill,said Kendra Barkoff, spokeswoman for Interior Secretary Ken Salazar. She added that Salazar has undertaken transformational reforms of MMS. Said BP spokesman Daren Beaudo from Robert, La.: We expect that a complete review of the regional response plans and planning process will take place as part of the overall incident investigation so that we can determine what worked well and what needs improvement. Thus far we have implemented the largest spill response in history and many, many elements of it have worked well. However, we are greatly disappointed that oil has made landfall and impacted shorelines and marshes. The situation we are dealing with is clearly complex, unprecedented and will offer us much to learn from.
A key failure of the plan's cleanup provisions was the scarcity of boom — floating lines of plastic or absorbent material placed around sensitive areas to deflect oil.

From the start, local officials all along the Gulf Coast have complained about a lack of supplies, particularly the heavier, so-called ocean boom. But even BP says in its regional plan that boom isn't effective in seas more than three to four feet; waves in the Gulf are often bigger. And even in calmer waters, oil has swamped vital wildlife breeding grounds in places supposedly sequestered by multiple layers of boom.The BP plans speak of thorough resources for all; there's no talk of a need to share. Still, Alabama Gov. Bob Riley said his shores were left vulnerable by Coast Guard decisions to shift boom to Louisiana when the oil threatened landfall there.
Meanwhile, in Louisiana's Plaquemines Parish, Nungesser and others have complained that miles of the boom now in the water were not properly anchored. AP reporters saw evidence he was right — some lines of boom were so broken up they hardly impeded the slick's push to shore.Some out-of-state contractors who didn't know local waters placed boom where tides and currents made sure it didn't work properly. And yet disorganization has dogged efforts to use local boats. In Venice, La., near where the Mississippi River empties into the Gulf, a large group of charter captains have been known to spend their days sitting around at the marina, earning $2,000 a day without ever attacking the oil.But perhaps the most glaring error in BP's plans involves Lutz, the professor, one of several dozen experts recommended as resources to be contacted in the event of a spill.Lutz is listed as a go-to wildlife specialist at the University of Miami. But Lutz, an eminent sea turtle expert, left Miami almost 20 years ago to chair the marine biology department at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton. He died four years before the plan was published. Associated Press Writers Brian Skoloff in Grand Isle, La., Harry R. Weber in Houston, and Jason Bronis in New Orleans contributed to this report.

Gulf oil leak may be bigger than BP says By RAY HENRY, HARRY R. WEBER and SETH BORENSTEIN, Associated Press Writers JUNE 8,10 8:20 PM

NEW ORLEANS – While BP is capturing more oil from its blown-out well with every passing day, scientists on a team analyzing the flow said Tuesday that the amount of crude still escaping into the Gulf of Mexico may be considerably greater than what the government and the company have claimed.Their assertions — combined with BP's rush to build a bigger cap and its apparent difficulty in immediately processing all the oil being collected — have only added to the impression that BP and the government are still floundering in dealing with the catastrophe and may be misleading the public.The cap that was put on the ruptured well last week collected about 620,000 gallons of oil on Monday and another 330,000 by noon Tuesday funneled it to a ship at the surface, said Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the government's point man on the crisis. That would mean the cap is capturing better than half of the oil, based on the government's estimate that around 600,000 to 1.2 million gallons a day are leaking from the bottom of the sea.The undersea efforts came as BP Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles struck an upbeat tone about the anticipated progress of the oil containment, saying that the spill should be down to a relative trickle by Monday or Tuesday.Suttles told The Associated Press in a stop in Alabama that the arrival of a second vessel in the coming days to help pump the oil from the deepwater gusher will allow engineers to make significant progress, even as others involved in the disaster were much less optimistic and continued to criticize BP over its litany of failures to control the spill.A team of researchers and government officials assembled by the Coast Guard and run by the director of the U.S. Geological Survey is studying the flow rate and hopes to present its latest findings in the coming days on what is already the biggest oil spill in U.S. history.

In an interview with The Associated Press, team member and Purdue University engineering professor Steve Wereley said it was a reasonable conclusion but not the team's final one to say that the daily flow rate is, in fact, somewhere between 798,000 gallons and 1.8 million gallons.BP is claiming they're capturing the majority of the flow, which I think is going to be proven wrong in short order, Wereley said. Why don't they show the American public the before-and-after shots? He added: It's strictly an estimation, and they are portraying it as fact.Other members of the team also told AP they expect their findings to show higher numbers than the current government estimate, but they weren't ready to say how much higher.To install the containment device snugly, BP engineers had to cut away the twisted and broken well pipe. That increased the flow of oil, similar to what happens when a kink is removed from a garden hose. BP and others warned that would happen, and the government said the increase amounted to about 20 percent.Asked about the containment effort and the uncertainties in estimating how much oil is escaping, Allen said: I have never said this is going well. We're throwing everything we've got.Paul Bommer, a University of Texas petroleum and geosystems engineering professor and member of the flow rate team, said cap seems to have made a dent in reducing the flow, but there is still a lot of oil coming out. That seemed clear from the underwater spillcam video, which continued to show a big plume of gas and oil billowing into the water.The current equipment collecting the oil being brought to the surface is believed to be nearing its daily processing capacity. BP said it will boost capacity by bringing in a floating platform it believes can process most of the flow, and believes the extra pumping power can help reduce the spill by early next week, when President Barack Obama is scheduled to make his fourth visit to the Gulf since the disaster began.

The company also said it will use a device that vaporizes and burns off oil while working to design a new cap that can capture more crude.In the seven weeks since the oil rig explosion that set off the catastrophe, BP has had to improvise at every turn. The most recent government estimates put the total amount of oil lost at 23.7 million to 51.5 million gallons.I think virtually everybody from BP to the state to the Coast Guard was caught flat-footed and did not expect a spill of this magnitude, said Ed Overton, a professor of environmental sciences at Louisiana State University. Everybody has been playing catch-up.When asked why BP did not have containment systems on standby in case of a leak, BP spokesman Robert Wine said there was no reason to think an accident on this scale was likely. It's unprecedented, he said.That's why these caps weren't there before.Kenneth Arnold, an offshore drilling consultant and engineer, said the reason a bigger cap wasn't installed first was that BP probably wanted to start with what it could do quickly, which he said makes sense. He said BP has been working several solutions all along in parallel and deploying them as they can. They haven't been waiting for one to fail and then employing the next one, Arnold said. He added: The idea you can wave your arm at this and come to a magical solution is just from someone who doesn't understand the problem. We as a nation are used to instant gratification. There is a problem. We want someone to fix it tomorrow. Things are not always that easy.Some answers may emerge next week, when BP CEO Tony Hayward will make his first appearance before Congress to answer questions in what will probably be a heated session, given the anger directed at BP. The debate over the flow rate came as workers in bulldozers piled sand 6 feet high along barrier islands bordering Louisiana to protect the environmentally fragile areas from the spill, which has already coated islands and pelican rookeries in thick, brown, sticky crude. This is finally something that can help, fishing guide Dave Marino said of the sand barrier effort. It looks like this is something that may work.Attempts to skim the oil progressed as well. Boats fanned out across the Gulf, dragging boom in their wake in an attempt to corral the oil. But it's an enormous task.

In some spots, the oil is several inches thick and forms a brown taffy-like goo that sticks to everything it touches. John Young, chairman of Louisiana's Jefferson Parish Council, said additional equipment has been ordered and more dredgers will be moving into the area soon, along with barges that will help block the passes. It's nice that BP has put up the money, but they need to ramp up not only the manpower but the equipment out there because we're losing the battle, Young said. Unfortunately, we're on day 50 and it's too little too late, but I guess it's better late than never.Meanwhile, researchers are beginning to obtain a clearer picture of the spill as they analyze water samples. For example, marine scientists found a 100-foot-thick layer of oil 1,300 feet below the surface about 45 miles from the well site. And officials in the Florida Panhandle are posting signs warning beachgoers not to swim or fish off a six-mile stretch of oil-fouled beaches near the Alabama state line — the first time such restrictions have been imposed in the state since the spill began.Harry R. Weber reported from Houston, Seth Borenstein from Washington, Jay Reeves in Gulf Shores, Ala., Tamara Lush from New Orleans, Brian Skoloff from Barataria Bay, La., and Mitch Stacy from St. Petersburg, Fla.

THE OIL SPILL POSSIBLE TRUTH-LINDSAY WILLIAMS(LAST HOUR)
http://rss.nfowars.net/20100610_Thu_Alex.mp3

Adm. Allen in hot seat over spill By BEN EVANS, Associated Press Writer - JUNE 11,10

WASHINGTON – The oil spoiling the teeming marshes and white-sand beaches of the Gulf Coast is also threatening the pristine image of the burly, take-charge leader who has become the federal government's go-to guy in a disaster.Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, one of the few federal officials whose reputation survived Hurricane Katrina intact, is facing growing criticism that he and his agency are overwhelmed by the catastrophe. It's unfamiliar territory for a former Coast Guard Academy football captain who has managed responses to crises that include the earthquake in Haiti, Katrina and the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.It's very discombobulated and disorganized,Orange Beach, Ala., Mayor Tony Kennon said of the federal response after tar balls stained the beach and entered Perdido Bay this week, without protection from booms.They had five weeks to get ready for this, and it still happened.Back in 2005, most leaders in the Gulf had kinder words for Allen's operations after then-President George W. Bush tapped him to take over the widely panned Hurricane Katrina response initially led by former FEMA Director Michael Brown.Allen was credited with turning the effort around. And when the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded on April 20, the White House was so confident it had the right man to lead the response that it persuaded Allen to delay his planned May retirement.

Allen, 61, who relinquished his role as head of the Coast Guard but is staying on as the spill's national incident commander, has since become the public face of the government's efforts. The Obama administration is increasingly relying on him in White House press briefings and elsewhere to try to assure the public that the government is in charge. Briefing reporters this week, Allen came off cool, calm and confident.But just as Katrina brought unforeseen challenges, the oil spill has proved unprecedented and unwieldy. Allen is taking his lumps.Early on, the Coast Guard was widely viewed as giving BP too much control on the scene, effectively looking the other way when the company offered misleadingly rosy assessments. Allen, for example, went along for weeks with BP's insistence that measuring the amount of oil spewing from the well was unimportant, only later pressing for accurate figures after scientists complained that it could help officials plan for containing the mess and account for liability.There's also the Katrina-like gap between what federal officials say is happening and what local leaders say they are seeing. Since the beginning, Allen has insisted the government and BP deployed more resources than needed. That is consistently disputed by local and state officials who complain of poor coordination, shortages of boom and skimmers, agonizing delays in getting responses to requests and a general reluctance to try new or experimental cleanup strategies.While BP has taken the brunt of it, much of the criticism also is falling on Allen, the son of a Coast Guard man who rose through the ranks to become the 23rd commandant of the agency in 2006.I have spent more time fighting the officials of BP and the Coast Guard than fighting the oil, Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser said. We've got to find someone to put in charge who has the guts and the will to make some decisions.Nungesser's parish includes the Louisiana marshes first hit by oil a month ago where recently pelicans were found coated with thick oil.

David Camardelle, mayor of Grand Isle, La., said he meets daily with state and federal officials but that when he brings up a problem or offers a solution he's told BP or EPA, or the Coast Guard is going to have to approve this before we can do anything.How can we accept that when our lives depend on their action, Camardelle asked, testifying Thursday before a Senate Homeland Security subcommittee.During briefings with reporters, Allen has noted the frustration of dealing with a spill across the Gulf. He frequently points to the number of fishermen and shrimpers who have been enlisted into the response — the vessels of opportunity as he has dubbed the private armada.But this strategy too has come under fire.Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., said many of the fishermen in her state don't think it's working.And Camardelle complained that shrimpers in his community who sign up for the program are being sent off on ships where they find no oil (and) ... they want to return and help protect their communities.At other times they were ready to go but just waited at the docks for the call,he told lawmakers.

Unfailingly polite in public, Allen takes criticism in stride.Though born in the desert — in Tucson, Ariz. — he's been around the water all his life, moving from post to post as a Coast Guard brat and, later, for his own career. He worked on his first oil spill 20 years ago as a lieutenant when a barge ran aground near Atlantic City, N.J. He says responding is like fighting a battle: The trick is moving resources quickly to where they're needed.Within the Coast Guard — which itself captures the public's imagination with its rescue swimmers, drug busts on the high seas and missions to save stranded fishermen — Allen is widely admired. On the Gulf, there's little doubt who's in charge when Allen's around.He has broad authority from the White House to make decisions and can pick up the phone and call BP CEO Tony Hayward when he needs answers. Like the president, Allen in recent days has shown more impatience with BP, writing Hayward a terse letter this week demanding more information about how the company is settling claims.Last week, preparing for a potentially contentious meeting with Alabama Gov. Bob Riley, Allen sat at a conference table with Coast Guard officers and picked apart a planned presentation addressing Riley's complaints about protective boom being moved from Alabama to other states.Guys, we have to be exact with this, Allen said, gesturing with one hand as he drank coffee with the other.One misstatement and the meeting goes south. We have to be transparent. Transparency! Clarity! When inventory numbers on the amount of boom available in Alabama didn't add up, Allen had had enough. He got up, grabbed an easel and a marker and began writing. The numbers got straightened out to his satisfaction just before Riley walked into the room.

The problem appears to have been resolved, but Riley made clear his lingering frustration with Allen in a statement this week in which he credited the president for fixing it.I want to thank the president for his personal intervention with the Coast Guard,the governor said. Boom that was deployed here in Alabama should never have been taken from us in the first place.Briefing reporters before meeting with President Barack Obama on Monday, Allen acknowledged that the Coast Guard never anticipated something like the BP gusher. Even though the agency ran a Gulf Coast response drill in 2002 simulating a blown wellhead — with Allen playing the role of incident commander — Allen said the expectation is for a single oil slick contained in a specific area. The Deepwater Horizon spill, he said, is taxing resources because the oil is breaking up and being pushed by winds and currents in all different directions. He acknowledged that the disaster will likely change the way the country plans for spills.We're trying to adapt and learn from a spill that's never happened before in this country, he said.While early reviews have been mixed at best, the final verdict on Allen's performance is still out.We've lost some battles (but) we can win this war, Nungesser said.But it's got to happen quickly.

Allen doesn't have much time to turn the tide. He still plans to retire July 1, although he acknowledges he might not be able to take off the uniform that quickly. I didn't anticipate this would happen to end my career, but I'm honored to have been asked to do this,he told reporters Monday. It's not a very easy job ... It's one of the hardest things I've ever had to deal with.Associated Press writers Jay Reeves in Mobile, Ala., Holbrook Mohr in Venice, La., and Greg Bluestein in Grand Isle, La., contributed to this report.

Environment commissioner wouldn't want to swim in Italy
LEIGH PHILLIPS Today JUNE 11,10 @ 09:24 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The quality of bathing waters at European beaches, both inland and at the seaside, have improved steadily over recent years. As of last year, a full 96 percent of coastal beaches met EU minimum standards and 90 percent of beaches next to rivers and lakes, according to the latest annual bathing water report from the European Commission.This is up from an 80 percent compliance rate for seasides in 1990 and 52 percent for inland waters.Over the last 30 years, EU and national legislation has significantly improved the quality of Europe's bathing waters but our work does not end here, said environment commissioner Janez Potocnik upon the report's publication on Thursday (10 June).Despite our decade-long track record of high quality, we need to keep up the effort constantly to both improve and maintain what we have achieved.Almost all the seaside beaches in Cyprus, France, Greece and Portugal complied with the EU's tougher guide values.However, some two percent of coastal bathing sites had to be banned in 2009 and most of these were in one member state - Italy.

Additionally, just 46.4 percent of Italian inland bathing sites met the EU's minimum quality levels last year, down 19.4 percent from 2008. The findings prompted the commissioner to suggest he would not go swimming in the country.Italy has work to do, he said.I don't know about the discrepancies, but I'm swimming on the other side.
Freshwater bathing sites showed greater variation in their water quality, according to the commission, but the best lakeside or riverside places to swim are in Finland, France, Germany and Sweden.

Mysterious Mountains Hidden Beneath Antarctic Ice Revealed LiveScience.com Andrea Mustain ouramazingplanet Contributer livescience.com – Thu Jun 10, 9:44 pm ET

The first detailed pictures of one of the planet's last unexplored frontiers - a vast mountain range that rivals the Alps in majesty buried underneath the ice of Antarctica - were revealed by scientists this week. The rugged peaks soar to more than 8,000 feet (2,400 meters). They are buried beneath solid ice more than a mile (1.6 kilometers) thick, deep within Antarctica's eastern interior. The existence of this mountain range, called the Gamburtsev Mountains, shocked the Russian scientists who first discovered it more than 50 years ago, and mystery still shrouds the nearly 750-mile- (1,200-km-) long series of subglacial peaks. At the International Polar Yearconference in Oslo, Norway, scientists unveiled new radar images of an area of the mountains the size of the state of New York. What we'd shown before was an estimate based on gravity data - a little bit of a coarse resolution tool, said Robin Bell, a senior research scientist at Columbia's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in New York. What we showed at this meeting was the radar data. It's like going from using a big, fat sharpie to using a fine-tipped pencil.What the pictures reveal, Bell said, is spectacular: a dramatic landscape of rocky summits, deep river valleys, and liquid, not frozen, lakes, all hidden beneath the ice. Bell was among a team of scientists from seven countries who spent two frigid months collecting geophysical data in the remote antipodean wilderness via sophisticated, aircraft-mounted instruments in late 2008 and early 2009.The expedition provided researchers with several terabytes of information - just one terabyte could hold two days worth of songs or one million pictures. Although it will take years to process all that data, Bell hopes the numbers will answer some of the questions surrounding the Gamburtsev Mountains. A big one is how they formed in the first place.

We now know it's not a volcanic mountain range,said study team member Kathryn Rose, of the British Antarctic Survey.And uplift by a hotspot in the mantle is probably out in terms of a mechanism of formation.(The mantle is the scorching hot, molten rock that underlies Earth's crust and is the source of volcanic magma.) Rose said the data are also providing invaluable insight into the evolution of the colossal East Antarctica Ice Sheet - the 6 million square miles (15.5 million square km) of ice that conceals the Gamburtsev Mountains and is important to understand in terms of its potential to melt in a warming world.Scientists need to improve our understanding of ice sheets and their dynamics because it impacts sea level everywhere,Bell told OurAmazingPlanet, emphasizing that new insights are guaranteed for years to come.We're still scratching our heads as to how the mountains were made and why they're still there,she said. But I think we have the data we need to solve the puzzle.

Carbon Tax Bill May Be Dead After Shock Graham Reversal On Climate Change - Senator says science behind man-made global warming is alarmist, oversold Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com Thursday, June 10, 2010

The plan to impose a carbon tax on American citizens may be dead at least for the time being after Republican Senator Lindsey Graham shockingly reversed his views on climate change, telling a press conference that the science behind man-made global warming is in question and those pushing it are alarmists who have oversold the problem.South Carolina Republican Graham told reporters that he would vote against the Kerry-Lieberman climate bill he helped author as a consequence of his reversal, meaning the package will fall short of the votes it needs to obtain passage, according to a Senate aide.In an October 2009 New York Times op-ed co-authored with Sen. John Kerry, Graham argued, that climate change is real and threatens our economy and national security.However, following the evisceration of trust in promoters of man-made global warming in the aftermath of the Climategate scandal, Graham has now sensationally reversed his position, stating, The science about global warming has changed. I think they’ve oversold this stuff, quite frankly. I think they’ve been alarmist and the science is in question,adding, The whole movement has taken a giant step backward.

Answering a follow up question, Graham noted that, The public acceptance about global warming has changed, possibly referring to polls which now indicate that the majority of Americans do not believe in the reality of man-made climate change.
Insiders say that Graham’s reversal all but kills the cap and trade provision that was contained in the Kerry-Lieberman bill.I just can’t see where we’d get 60 votes for a comprehensive energy bill with a cap on carbon at this point, the aide to a senator on the Environment and Public Works Committee, who is closely involved with the issue, told Raw Story.However, the elite are still desperate to impose a consumption tax on Americans as part of the move towards a post-industrial revolution and the kind of nightmare green economy that has left Spain with a 20 per cent unemployment rate. In a so-called green economy, over 2.2 jobs are lost for every green job created.The Senate is expected to try and push a watered down bill with the hope of moving towards a carbon tax later on.If we passed a bill that has a good renewable energy standard, has strong building codes, invests in efficiency and raises fuel economy, we’re on the path to lowering emissions, and it makes it easier to pass cap and trade later, argued the aide, who requested anonymity.As we previously reported, Graham withdrew his support for both the Democrat’s pro-amnesty immigration bill and cap and trade legislation just a week after ALIPAC Chairman Gheen gave a speech in which he demanded that Graham come clean on the fact that he was being blackmailed over his homosexuality.

Graham’s support for legislation that was highly unpopular amongst his own constituents strongly suggested that he was being strong-armed into toeing the line on policies being pushed by the Washington establishment.Now that Gheen’s allegations are out in the open, Graham may feel that the heat is off and he can abandon his endorsement of unpopular legislation and concentrate on trying to keep his Senate seat.

Europe doesn't need new institutions, says Van Rompuy
ANDREW WILLIS 10.06.2010 @ 17:34 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - European Council President Herman Van Rompuy waded further into the growing debate on European economic governance on Thursday (10 June), saying no new institutions are needed to ensure appropriate decision making. We do not need new institutions to meet our goals. We need more effectiveness,he said at a press conference in Berlin after a meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The issue has come to the fore following French calls for regular meetings of eurozone leaders in order to co-ordinate the economic policies of the 16-member group, with the possible creation of a new secretariat in Brussels to take care of the day-to-day work. Poland has indicated it does not support the idea, fearing it would reduce the influence of non-eurozone members, while Germany habours concerns that a new and powerful economic decision-making body could harm the European Central Bank's independence.EU leaders are set to discuss the issues of economic governance, tougher EU budgetary rules and methods to reduce differences in competitiveness levels between member states at a summit in Brussels next Thursday.Mr Van Rompuy's remarks come despite the fact that he himself has chaired two eurozone leaders' meetings this year as Greece's debt crisis threatened to spread to other members of the single currency.Instead, the Belgian politician said the debate should focus on budgetary and competitiveness issues. We need closer surveillance of budgetary evolutions, we need much more closer surveillance of evolutions in competitiveness. That is the main topic.

Eurozone support mechanism

Rising member state deficit and debt levels have spooked markets in recent months, forcing leaders to rapidly cobble together a €750 billion eurozone support mechanism as borrowing costs for a number of countries threatened to become unsustainable. A potential hurdle to German involvement in the mechanism was removed on Thursday when the country's top institutional court rejected a bid by a lawmaker to prevent Berlin from giving guarantees as part of its share in the rescue fund.In a recent interview in Belgium's Trends magazine, Mr Van Rompuy suggested the massive package could even be increased if needed.Currently there isn't even the hint of a request to put this rescue plan into practice,he said.And if the plan were to prove insufficient, my answer is simple: in this case, we'll do more.In conjunction with the new fund, governments have now pledged their broad support for tougher EU budgetary rules so that overspending becomes harder in the future. Structural issues such as changes to wage and pension systems have also come under closer scrutiny as policy makers debate how to boost Europe's growth potential in the face of stiff competition from emerging markets.Mr Van Rompuy, who will present the interim report of a taskforce dealing with with these issues to EU leaders next week - proposes a set of competitiveness indicators for all 27 EU states be devised to flag up divergences.

This would be backed up by a specific monitoring mechanism for euro members, he said in Berlin. Many of these proposals originate from a European Commission ideas paper published in May.Speaking about the list of changes being discussed, Ms Merkel re-iterated her stance that they must go far enough, even if this required an EU treaty change, a move that many national capitals are keen to avoid.

ECB bond purchases

The ECB on Thursday said it expected the eurozone's economy to continue recovering at a moderate pace. Speaking after a meeting of the bank's governing board decided to keep interest rates at their historic low of one percent, ECB President Jean-Claude Tricket gave no further details on the ultimate size of sovereign bond purchases or exactly which ones are being targeted.The bank broke a long-running taboo last month when it decided to enter the sovereign bond market. It has repeatedly stressed that extra liquidity injected in this manner will be removed elsewhere.

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS – Balkan countries and those in the eastern neighbourhood need to make greater use of regional co-operation initiatives in order to progress on their way to the European Union, whose ultimate goal is to make borders less relevant,the European Commission says.Bilateral conflicts, reconciliation problems, mobility issues between EU and non-EU countries can be overcome if countries put more effort into regional co-operation, sharing experiences and taking on board all levels of government, enlargement and neighbourhood policy commissioner Stefan Fuele said Thursday (10 June).He was speaking at the Where Europe ends conference organised by EUobserver on the regional dimension of enlargement and neighbourhood policy.Regions, cities, towns, cross-border relationships are an important component of the enlargement process,Mr Fuele stressed, while noting that the best way to fight enlargement fatigue is to get a country 100 percent ready before membership actually takes place.We've recently seen good regional initiatives in the western Balkans, but what we still lack is the pragmatic reflection of that at a working level. The relations between Belgrade and Pristina affect regional co-operation in different formats,he said, in reference to Serbia's refusal to participate in any events where Kosovo officials are present in their formal capacity.The only breakthrough on this matter happened earlier this month at an informal conference in Sarajevo, where all Balkan leaders and EU officials were present with tags showing only their name, not the country or organisation they represented.Of Czech origin, Mr Fuele highlighted the importance of the Visegrad group, an alliance of four central-European states which became a strong vehicle for EU membership.Western Balkan countries need to co-operate more on the process of becoming EU members, they need to share papers, develop common positions,he said.From the EU side, the visa-free policy envisaged for both the Balkan region and the eastern neighbourhood, was aimed at making borders less relevant in Europe.

This doesn't mean the EU would not have a certain opinion on the ambiguity of borders in neighbourhood. It is unacceptable in the 21 century when border changes are the result of military operations,Mr Fuele said, alluding to the 2008 Russia-Georgia war after which Moscow recognised the independence of the two breakaway regions Abkhazia and South Ossetia and put Russian security forces on the de facto borders.Filmmaker Alina Mungiu Pippidi, author of Where Europe ends documentary, stressed the need for the EU to revise its visa policies towards the eastern neighbourhood.The EU's borders don't stop criminals and traffickers, only students and good-faith travellers,she said, telling the story of a Ukrainian economics student who was not granted a visa to attend a conference in Berlin because she was a young blond woman and German authorities thought she would be trafficked,whereas her male colleague had no problems in getting the visa for the same event.

Romanian MEP Monica Macovei, also present at the conference, recounted her own humiliating experiences of day and night-long queuing in front of EU consulates before Romania was granted visa-free travel.Letting people travel freely adds to the feeling of dignity and it helps countries reform. When people travel or work abroad for a while, they expect and demand more from their national and local authorities, and this helps change things,she said.In EUobserver's latest video talk show, Liberal MEP Jelko Kacin and Conservative deputy Charles Tannock look at the EU enlargement process in the Balkan countries.

Report: Obama Nixed Anti-Riot Gear on Flotilla
by Maayana Miskin JUNE 11,10

Israeli troops avoided the use of non-lethal riot gear against passengers on a Gaza-bound flotilla in order to appease United States President Barack Obama, according to the World Tribune. Quoting diplomatic sources, the paper said Obama nixed the use of equipment such as tear gas to stop the flotilla and demanded that Israel exercise extreme caution and restraint.The White House has not commented on the report.The report claimed that Defense Minister Ehud Barak accepted Obama's demand, possibly due to his hopes that America will agree to sell advanced weapons to Israel.It says that the American demand was made despite Israeli intelligence reports indicating possible danger aboard one ship, the Mavi Marmara, which carried primarily Turkish citizens, many of them members of the pro-terrorist IHH organization. Intelligence agents had found that many of the Turkish passengers were trained in weapons use and hand-to-hand combat; their assessments were relayed to the White House.Ultimately, soldiers boarded the ships with paintball guns and pistols instead of traditional anti-riot gear such as tear gas and rubber bullets. They were quickly overpowered by passengers on the Mavi Marmara, who were armed with clubs and knives. After two soldiers were critically wounded and dragged below deck, a commando opened fire , killing nine passengers and successfully ending the attack.Obama did not condemn the IDF response, but since the flotilla incident, he has sought to ease tension with Turkey, and has called on Israel to ease its blockade on Gaza.

Poll: Israelis Support Flotilla Raid, Gaza Blockade, PM and IDF
by Maayana Miskin JUNE 11,10

Despite international criticism over the IDF's response to a Gaza-bound flotilla, Israeli Jews strongly support the operation, along with the Israeli blockade on Hamas-run Gaza. Polls conducted by Pechter Middle East Polls and New Wave Research found strong support also for Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi.The New Wave poll showed that 92% of Israeli Jews supported the decision to stop the Gaza-bound flotilla, and 91% said Israel should stop any similar attempts to reach Gaza in the future. 73% support the naval blockade on Gaza, while 16% said the blockade should be lifted.The Pechter poll found that Israel Jews overwhelmingly supported the flotilla raid, with 85% saying that Israel used the right amount of force or not enough force (39%) when stopping the boats. 73% expressed support of the blockade.Ashkenazi had the most support of any Israeli leader, according to the New Wave poll, which was published in Yisrael Hayom. 76% of Israelis said they are satisfied with Ashkenazi's performance, while only 11% said they were dissatisfied. In comparison, Netanyahu had 45% satisfaction and 44% dissatisfaction.

Defense Minister Ehud Barak had only 35% support, while 54% of respondents said they were unhappy with his performance. The Pechter poll showed slightly different results: 53% supported Netanyahu, while 41% were satisfied with Barak. The poll showed strong dislike for United States President Barack Obama following the flotilla incident: 71% said they disliked or strongly disliked Obama, and 63% said they were dissatisfied with the U.S. response to the flotilla clash.If Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan accompanies a flotilla to Gaza, the IDF should do whatever necessary to stop him, 75% said. 84% said the same regarding a possible Iranian mission to Gaza.The New Wave poll found that 78% believe the flotilla proves that Turkey is acting as an enemy to Israel.

Rabbi Who Exposed Thomas Gets Death Threats
by Maayana Miskin JUNE 11,10

Rabbi David Nesenoff's interview with Helen Thomas revealed the long-time journalist's hateful views on Israeli Jews, who she said should go back to Poland. Now, Nesenoff has become the target of anti-Jewish hate, and has received many death threats and thousands of pieces of hate mail.Nesenoff told the American Fox News channel that he had received emails calling for a Holocaust, and threats against his family.We've got one specific one saying, We're going to kill the Jews, watch your back, he said.[Thomas] is just a little cherry on top of this huge, huge sundae of hate in America,he added.The rabbi has decided to post the hate mail online, without censoring out vulgarities or threats.Nesenoff briefly questioned Thomas on camera in late May, following a celebration of Jewish heritage at the White House. When he asked her about Israel, Thomas said Israeli Jews should get the hell out of Palestine, and go home to Poland and Germany.Shortly after her comments reached the mainstream media, her employer, the Hearst Corporation, announced that the 89-year-old reported would be retiring immediately.Thomas' family and other supporters later claimed that she was referring only to Jews in Judea and Samaria. Her relatives said that Thomas had been on the receiving end of an outpouring of support since the incident. She has so many bouquets of flowers they can't get into her condo,a sister told journalist Richard Prince. (IsraelNationalNews.com)

JERUSALEM DIVIDED

ZECHARIAH 12:1-5 King James Bible
1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.

2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

ZECHARIAH 14:1-9 King James Bible
1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

Barak Suspected of Blocking End of Construction Freeze
by Maayana Miskin JUNE 10,10

A senior Defense Ministry official caused concern and suspicion among Judea and Samaria's Jews this week when he reported that there are no plans for future construction in the area. His statement appears to confirm that Defense Minister Ehud Barak has no intention of ending the Judea and Samaria construction freeze in three months, as previously promised.While the government committed to prohibit construction in Judea and Samaria in order to draw the Palestinian Authority to the negotiating table, residents said they were told they could continue with the bureaucracy of getting plans approved even while physical construction was banned.We were promised that during the freeze we could still move forward with plans, particularly when it comes to planning that takes a long time,said Gush Etzion Regional Council head Shaul Goldstein.Goldstein told Arutz Sheva's Hebrew news service that the freeze on planning affects all aspects of life, going well beyond the current housing shortage in the region. We're not just talking about approval for building new housing; this is also about infrastructure. Nothing has been approved.As an example, he said,We created a plan for a sewage system in a community here, it's a plan that was already approved, and now the Civil Administration is delaying implementation. Now we see why.he added. Jews in Judea and Samaria feel they were lied to, he said.

Goldstein, a member of the Likud party, said he hopes to take the matter up with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.I hope that very soon we'll hear the prime minister's response, he said.The Judea and Samaria construction freeze was meant as a gesture to the PA, to encourage PA Chairman Abbas to resume negotiations. However, Abbas deemed the freeze – an unprecedented move – to be insufficient, saying Jewish construction should be prohibited in neighborhoods of Jerusalem that were under Jordan's jurisdiction before the 1967 Six Day War as well.Some government ministers have repeatedly pledged that the freeze will end in September as planned.

Japan PM warns of Greece-like debt crisis By MARI YAMAGUCHI, Associated Press Writer - JUNE 11,10

TOKYO – Japan's new prime minister warned Friday that his country could face a financial mess like the one that has crippled Greece if it did not deal urgently with its swelling national debt.While Japan is on firmer financial footing than Greece because most of its debt is held domestically, Prime Minister Naoto Kan's blunt talk appeared designed to push forward his agenda, which may involve raising taxes.Speaking in his first address to Parliament after taking office Tuesday, Kan said Japan, the world's second-largest economy, cannot continue to let government debt swell while state finances are under pressure from an aging and declining population.It is difficult to sustain a policy that relies too heavily on issuing debt. As we have seen with the financial confusion in the European community stemming from Greece, our finances could collapse if trust in national bonds is lost and growing national debt is left alone, he said.Japan has the largest public debt among industrialized nations at 218.6 percent of its gross domestic product in 2009, according to the International Monetary Fund.Kan, who became Japan's sixth prime minister in four years after a short stint as finance minister, promised his government would work closely with the Bank of Japan to avoid an increase in deflation and would focus on developing a strong and comprehensive policy.Kan has said he will also consider raising taxes, an issue he said previous governments had been too timid to face. A social progressive and a fiscal hawk, Kan said he would announce further details of his economic growth plan later this month.But he said he aims to have the economy grow by more than 2 percent annually by fiscal 2020.After amassing a vast public debt and overspending to the tune of 13.6 percent of gross domestic product in 2009, Greece was saved from defaulting on its loans by the first installment of a euro110 billion ($131 billion) rescue package from the International Monetary Fund and the 15 other nations that share the euro currency.

Analysts said Kan's warning comparison with the recent development in Greece is an overstatement, since the Japanese investors who hold the majority of the government's debt are seen as long-term stakeholders who are less likely to bolt for other, more lucrative markets overseas.Greece had a huge public debt and huge overseas loans, said Hiromichi Shirakawa, chief economist at Credit Suisse Japan. Japan has a trade surplus, and it's a major creditor nation ... I don't think Japan's fiscal conditions is facing a similar crisis.Instead of focusing too much on fiscal tightening, Kan should simply focus on growth strategy that works for Japan's matured economy as the nation's population continues to age and shrink, he added.Kan's predecessor, the unpopular Yukio Hatoyama, abruptly quit last week after he failed to keep a campaign promise to move the sprawling Marine Corps Air Station Futenma off the southern island of Okinawa. His ratings had fallen below 20 percent on what was perceived as the weak leadership.The successor is enjoying a jolt of public support, with major newspaper polls giving Kan approval ratings of between 60 and 70 percent — good news for his party heading into next month's elections.His Democratic Party is considering a July 11 date for the polls, but that has caused a row with their coalition partner and prompted its leader to announce in the early hours Friday his resignation from a Cabinet post. The junior coalition party wants instead to extend the current parliamentary session to vote on a key postal reform bill.Kan, a grass-roots populist known for standing up to bureaucrats, is drawing support from undecided voters, and favorable winds are blowing for the Democratic Party, said The Nikkei, Japan's top business newspaper.The approval rating for Kan's Cabinet, installed Tuesday, came to 68 percent, according to the Nikkei's survey.

Strikes put China on spot over labor unrest By ELAINE KURTENBACH, AP Business Writer - Fri Jun 11, 1:48 am ET

SHANGHAI – Workers demanding higher wages rallied outside a Honda plant in southern China on Friday, part of a rash of industrial action at Chinese factories highlighting growing restiveness among migrant workers.Several hundred workers gathered at the front gates of parts supplier Honda Lock (Guangdong) Co. in the city of Zhongshan, where staff walked off the job on Wednesday.A policeman reached by phone at the city's Xiaolan precinct confirmed the action, but said he was unable to release details without permission.We're keeping our eyes on this strike, said the officer, who refused to give his name as is common with Chinese government workers.

An official from the official Communist Party controlled union in Zhongshan said representatives had been sent to the scene to handle it. She refused to give details or her name.A receptionist who answered the plant's main number said executives were in meetings and no information could be released. A Honda Motor Co. spokeswoman in Tokyo, Yasuko Matsuura, said she had no details about the present situation.Friday's rally came as Honda was resuming production at two other car assembly plants after resolving a three-day strike at parts supplier Foshan Fengfu Autoparts Co.Honda said the factory employees agreed to a pay raise of 366 yuan ($53.60) per month for each full-time worker. That would increase pay for a new employee to 1,910 yuan ($280) per month.Some workers held out for more and the union said about 30 people fought with union officials on Monday.Japan's Brother Industries Ltd. also said it had ended a weeklong strike that had stalled production at its industrial sewing machine factory in the central city of Xi'an. Another strike, at a Taiwan-run rubber products plant west of Shanghai, also ended earlier this week after workers took to the streets demanding wage hikes.Such incidents are an unsettling development for foreign manufacturers and a privileged communist leadership now far removed from its roots in labor movements a century ago.Younger Chinese now seeking work in factories were raised in an era of relative plenty and have higher expectations and less tolerance for highly regimented factory living.A spate of worker suicides at the mammoth factory complex operated by iPhone maker Foxconn in the southern city of Shenzhen has drawn particular attention to the intolerable stresses many young workers face on factory floors run with military-style discipline.

Geoffrey Crothall, spokesman for the Hong Kong based China Labor Bulletin, said workers had largely been willing to bide their time and accept their wages during the recent economic slowdown.But since the economy began to boom again last year, they've found themselves working longer hours with no appreciable improvement in income, prompting some to take action, Crothall said.They see strikes have been successful elsewhere and decide to try their luck, he said.Crothall said the strikes also revealed deep disdain for official union representatives, who are appointed by management and the Communist Party rather than elected by the workers themselves.

However, he questioned media reports saying the Honda Lock workers wanted to form their own independent union, saying it was more likely a desire simply to elect their own leaders who represented their own, and not management's, interests. After getting battered by recession last year, Japanese companies are increasingly shifting production to China to tap its lower labor costs and get closer to its fast-growing market. But companies that rely on China for cheap labor increasingly are finding it hard to attract and keep workers, who want better pay and working conditions.Japanese factories also often employ young workers in groups from a particular school or community, making them more likely to join together against an employer if they are dissatisfied. While little reported in the state-controlled media, word of working conditions and strikes spreads quickly via the Internet and mobile phone text messaging.China's communist leaders, who have ruled since the 1949 revolution, are acutely aware of the power of worker unity given their own origins in the labor movements of the early 20th century.Fearing challenges to their own hold on power, they ban unauthorized organizations and public dissent by labor or otherwise. Those who violate those bans face harassment and prosecution.But the authorities have long tolerated limited, local protests by workers unhappy over wages or other issues, perhaps recognizing the need for an outlet for such frustrations.In an unusually frank commentary Wednesday, the People's Daily exhorted the government-affiliated labor umbrella, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, to do a better job as a mediator.Labor relations are increasingly complex and important today, but unions lack the talent needed to gain workers' trust and do their jobs well, it said.There is no shortage of enthusiastic, diligent cadres but there is a lack of professional personnel qualified to deal with new challenges and tasks.Associated Press writers Christopher Bodeen in Beijing and Yuri Kageyama in Tokyo and researchers Ji Chen in Shanghai, Xi Yue, Zhao Liang, and Bonnie Cao contributed to this report.

Ahmadinejad says Israel is doomed by D'Arcy Doran - JUNE 11,10

SHANGHAI (AFP) – Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Friday Israel was doomed and singled out US President Barack Obama for scorn after the UN agreed a fresh round of nuclear sanctions against his country.Speaking during a visit to the World Expo in Shanghai, Ahmadinejad denounced the UN Security Council's sanctions resolution adopted Wednesday with Chinese and Russian backing as worthless paper.

The firebrand leader accused global nuclear powers of monopolising atomic technology and said the new sanctions would have no effect.Ahmadinejad chose a visit to his country's national pavilion during Iran Day at the Shanghai Expo in preference to an appearance at a regional security summit in Uzbekistan attended by the Chinese and Russian leaders.Chinese President Hu Jintao and his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev are in Tashkent for the summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO).The SCO is set Friday to snub Iran's membership bid, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov indicated, leaving Tehran increasingly isolated over its refusal to renounce uranium enrichment.Ahmadinejad's visit to the Expo comes at a delicate time in Tehran's relations with its ally China, one of the five permanent veto-wielding members of the Security Council.His government had earlier reacted furiously to China's decision to fall into line with the United States and other powers that accuse Iran of covertly trying to build nuclear weapons.

Ahmadinejad shied away from criticising China, which has emerged as Iran's closest trading partner.The main problem is the US administration, and we have no problem with others, he told reporters, accusing the United States of seeking to swallow the Middle East.Swatting aside the US leader's offers of dialogue and rapprochement if Iran relents on its nuclear ambitions, Ahmadinejad said: I think President Obama has made a big mistake... he knows the resolution will have no effect.Very soon he will come to understand he has not made the right choice and he has blocked the way to having friendly ties with the Iranian people.The UN resolution expands an arms embargo and bars Iran from sensitive activities such as uranium mining.It also authorises states to conduct high-seas inspections of vessels believed to be ferrying banned items for Iran and adds 40 entities to a list of people and groups subject to travel restrictions and financial sanctions.Not for the first time, Ahmadinejad reserved his harshest rhetoric for Israel.It is clear the United States is not against nuclear bombs because they have a Zionist regime with nuclear bombs in the region,he said.

They are trying to save the Zionist regime, but the Zionist regime will not survive. It is doomed.Israel, which has the Middle East's sole if undeclared nuclear arsenal, regards Iran as its principal threat after repeated predictions by Ahmadinejad of the Jewish state's demise. Israeli leaders have refused to rule out a resort to military action to prevent Iran developing a nuclear weapons capability. Ahmadinejad said the entire architecture of global power was built to keep out smaller states. We have always said the Security Council is a tool in the hands of the United States. It is not democratic, it is a tool of dictatorship, he said. Five powers have the veto right and the nuclear bombs and the monopoly and they want to monopolise nuclear energy for themselves,he added.Russia appears to be taking a tougher line with Iran. Officials said Friday that Moscow would comply strictly with the new UN sanctions, and signalled that a deal to supply Iran with air-defence missiles was now off.China has kept up a more emollient line on Iran. Foreign ministry spokesman Qin Gang said Thursday that China highly values relations with Iran and feels they are conducive to regional peace, stability and development.

Ahmadinejad calls resolution worthless paper By ELAINE KURTENBACH, Associated Press Writer - JUNE 11,10

SHANGHAI – Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Friday dismissed new sanctions aimed at punishing his country for failing to halt part of its nuclear program, calling the latest U.N. resolution a worthless paper.During a visit to China's financial hub of Shanghai, Ahmadinejad also accused the United States of hypocrisy for leading the drive to censure Iran and accused President Barack Obama of pursuing the same bullying tactics of his predecessor, George W. Bush.The resolution adopted by the U.N. Security Council on Wednesday is a piece of paper. A worthless paper, Ahmadinejad told reporters at a news conference while visiting the World Expo in Shanghai.Rather than impeding Iran's development, the resolution may have an impact on our country by expediting the pace of our development, he said.The new sanctions seek to punish Iran for rejecting proposals to halt uranium enrichment and take its nuclear fuel from abroad. The West and its allies fear Iran is developing nuclear weapons, though Iran says it is seeking nuclear power only for peaceful energy and medical research purposes.Despite hopes by China that the sanctions would give a boost to renewed negotiations, Ahmadinejad said that could only happen in a friendly atmosphere.Having dialogue under a hostile atmosphere has no meaning, Ahmadinejad said.His visit comes two days after host China yielded to international pressure to back a fourth round of nuclear sanctions targeting Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guard, ballistic missiles and nuclear-related investments in a bid to compel Tehran to cooperate with international inspectors.Ahmadinejad was not scheduled to meet Chinese leaders while in China. He also skipped Thursday's summit in Uzbekistan of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which was attended by Chinese President Hu Jintao. Iran is an observer in that group.As a permanent member of the Security Council and key Iranian ally, China could have exercised its veto power to block the sanctions. But it reversed its earlier opposition out of frustration with Tehran's intransigence and a desire to avoid becoming isolated over the issue, analysts said.

Asked about China's about-face, Ahmadinejad deflected blame onto Washington.We have very good relations with China and we have no reason to weaken our relations with China. I said the problem is the United States, he said, adding that unnamed countries on the Security Council had been subject to pressure and intimidation.China's Foreign Ministry said Thursday its support for fresh sanctions should not block efforts to find a diplomatic solution, and called for renewed attempts to bring Iran back to the negotiating table.Details of negotiations with China over the sanctions are unknown. But Beijing appeared to be satisfied that the sanctions would not harm its economic ties with Iran, with whom bilateral trade reached at least $36.5 billion last year. Iran meets 11 percent of China's energy needs and Chinese companies have major investments in Iranian energy extraction projects and the construction of roads, bridges and power plants.It wasn't clear what effect the vote would have on relations between Tehran and Beijing. Last month, Ahmadinejad rebuked Russia, which also backed sanctions, warning its leaders to correct themselves, and not let the Iranian nation consider them among its enemies.

Iranian lawmakers plan to review Iran's relations with the U.N. nuclear watchdog group, the International Atomic Energy Agency, although Ahmadinejad appeared to rule out the option of banning U.N. inspectors from Iran's nuclear facilities.For what reason should they leave Iran? There is no reason to leave Iran. We have no problem with our peaceful nuclear program, he said.Ahmadinejad, who has repeatedly called for Israel's destruction and denied the Holocaust, also lashed out at the West for supporting the Jewish state. They are not against nuclear bombs because in the Middle East they have equipped the Zionist regime with nuclear weapons and tolerate all the abuses committed by the Zionist regime,he said.Associated Press writer Christopher Bodeen in Beijing contributed to this report.

Study: Shrinking glaciers to spark food shortages By MICHAEL CASEY, AP Environmental Writer - Thu Jun 10, 11:54 pm ET

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – Nearly 60 million people living around the Himalayas will suffer food shortages in the coming decades as glaciers shrink and the water sources for crops dry up, a study said Thursday.But Dutch scientists writing in the journal Science concluded the impact would be much less than previously estimated a few years ago by the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The U.N. report in 2007 warned that hundred of millions of people were at risk from disappearing glaciers.The reason for the discrepancy, scientists said, is that some basins surrounding the Himalayas depend more on rainfall than melting glaciers for their water sources.Those that do count heavily on glaciers like the Indus, Ganges and Brahamaputra basins in South Asia could see their water supplies decline by as much as 19.6 percent by 2050. China's Yellow River basin, in contrast, would see a 9.5 percent increase precipitation as monsoon patterns change due to the changing climate.We show that it's only certain areas that will be affected, said Marc Bierkens, an Utrecht University hydrology professor , who along with Walter Immerzee and Ludovicus van Beek conducted the study. The amount of people affected is still large. Every person is one too many but it's much less than was first anticipated.

The study is one of the first to examine the impact of shrinking glaciers on the Himalayan river basins. It will likely further fuel the debate on the degree that climate change will devastate the river basins that are mostly located in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan and China.Scientists for the most part agree glaciers are melting at an accelerated rate as temperatures increase. Most scientists tie that warming directly to higher atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide.Some glaciers, such as in the Himalayas, could hold out for centuries in a warmer world. But more than 90 percent of glaciers worldwide are in retreat, with major losses already seen across much of Alaska, the Alps, the Andes and numerous other ranges, according to researchers in the United States and Europe.Some scientists have come under fire for the 2007 U.N. report, which includes several errors that suggested the Himalayas could disappear by 2035, hundreds of years earlier than data actual indicates. The mistake — the 2350 apparently was transposed as 2035 — opened the door for attacks by climate change skeptics.The findings by the Dutch team in Science were greeted with caution with glacial experts who did not take part in the research. They said the uncertainties and lack of data for the region makes it difficult to say what will happen in the next few decades to the water supply.Others like Zhongqin Li, director of the Tianshan Glaciological Station in China, said the study omitted several other key basins in central Asia and northwest China which will be hit hard by the loss of water from melting glaciers.

Still, several of these outside researchers said the findings should reaffirm concerns that the region will suffer food shortages due to climate change, exasperating already existing concerns such as overpopulation, poverty, pollution and weakening monsoon rains in parts of South Asia.The paper teaches us there's lot of uncertainty in the future water supply of Asia and within the realm of plausibility are scenarios that may give us concern, said Casey Brown, an assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of Massachusetts.

At present, we know that water concerns are already a certainty - the large and growing populations and high dependence on irrigated agriculture which makes the region vulnerable to present climate variability, he said.This paper is additional motivation to address these present concerns through wise investments in better management of water resources in the region, which for me means forecasts, incentives, efficiency.Birkens and his fellow researchers said governments in the region should adapt to the projected water shortages by shifting to crops that use less water, engaging in better irrigation practices and building more and larger facilities to store water for extended periods of time.We estimate that the food security of 4.5 percent of the total population will be threatened as a result of reduce water availability,the researchers wrote.The strong need for prioritizing adaptation options and further increasing water productivity is therefore eminent.

Hope for two-state solution beginning to erode: Abbas by Sara Hussein – Fri Jun 11, 2:37 am ET

WASHINGTON (AFP) – Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas warned that lack of progress toward Middle East peace was eroding faith that a two-state solution could end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.A day after meeting with President Barack Obama at the White House, Abbas said the stagnation of the peace process had left some Palestinians unconvinced that a separate Palestinian state alongside Israel was even possible.I would like to express concern that the situation is very difficult, he said in remarks at a Washington think-tank.The hope for a two-state solution... I fear, is beginning to erode and the world is starting not to believe, to distrust, that we are able to reach this situation.Abbas is in Washington hoping to advance fragile indirect peace talks that the United States spent months arranging but which have been imperiled by a deadly May 31 Israeli raid against an aid flotilla seeking to break the blockade on Gaza.The raid ratcheted up regional tensions and forced Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to cancel a trip to Washington intended to publicly repair US-Israeli relations that were strained by Israel's refusal to halt settlement activity.The incident, which left nine activists dead, sparked international condemnation and calls for an inquiry.Israel has defended the raid as necessary to uphold a blockade on the Gaza Strip and says it will conduct its own, limited investigation into the incident.

Abbas said any inquiry must be international, echoing US comments that an international component would be essential to ensure credibility.The investigation should not be left in the hands of Israel. Israel cannot investigate itself, Abbas said, accusing Israeli commandos of having attacked innocent people who had no weapons or aggressive motivations.The United States has declined to directly condemn Israel for the attack, but Obama warned Wednesday after meeting Abbas that the situation in Gaza, withering under the years-long blockade, was unsustainable.
Washington is eager to prop up fragile first steps towards negotiations in the form of US-facilitated indirect talks.Obama said Wednesday he believed significant progress was still possible before the end of the year, and pledged to devote the full weight of US diplomacy to advancing peace talks.Abbas told him that time is of the essence,chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat told AFP.That's his message, we need to see genuine movement in the direction of a two-state solution and ending the occupation, he said.The Palestinian leader also cautioned Thursday that signatories to the Arab League peace initiative, which promises diplomatic recognition in return for Israeli withdrawal from territory it occupied in 1967, were losing patience.

We have long discussions with those who are frustrated and tell them that we cannot take it off the table because it's the only call for peace, the other option is war and we do not want war, he said.Obama reasserted his commitment to the peace process Wednesday and said the flotilla incident could even serve as an opportunity to create a situation where lives in Gaza are actually, directly improved.He pledged to work with Israel and the international community to find ways to ease the blockade and announced 400 million dollars in new aid for the Palestinians, saying it was a sign of our commitment to improve the day-to-day lives of Palestinians.Abbas met later Thursday in Washington with senior administration officials and lawmakers, including Senator John Kerry, who said he backed the shuttle diplomacy between Israel and the Palestinians being undertaken by US envoy George Mitchell. We are very supportive of the process that's currently being pursued, the proximity talks. A lot of us would like to see those talks move to direct talks as fast as possible and we're very anxious for progress,said Kerry, who is chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Erakat said the talks were very good.They want president Abbas to stay the course. They don't want him to despair. They said they are doing everything to help us,he said.Abbas is to meet with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Friday.
