Workers on BP Rig Voiced Concern About Safety

WASHINGTON — A confidential survey of workers on the Deepwater Horizon in the weeks before the oil rig exploded showed that many of them were concerned about safety practices and feared reprisals if they reported mistakes or other problems. In the survey, commissioned by the rig’s owner, Transocean, workers said that company plans were not carried out properly and that they “often saw unsafe behaviors on the rig.” Some workers also voiced concerns about poor equipment reliability, “which they believed was as a result of drilling priorities taking precedence over planned maintenance,” according to the survey, one of two Transocean reports obtained by The New York Times. “At nine years old, Deepwater Horizon has never been in dry dock,” one worker told investigators. “We can only work around so much.”..

Experts Ask Why BP Delayed Cap

With BP PLC's blown-out Gulf of Mexico oil well now effectively capped, some experts are questioning why the company didn't attempt a similar procedure earlier in a crisis that became the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history. BP scored a breakthrough last week when it installed a new, tightly fitting cap on the well that stopped oil from gushing into the ocean for the first time in nearly three months. But a version of the plan that ultimately worked was proposed in the earliest days of the crisis by experts from a Houston firm, Wild Well Control Inc...

More doctored BP photos come to light

The search for doctored BP photos is on. And it's a bit like finding Waldo in the famous game. On Wednesday, for the second time this week, a blog has identified an altered photograph about BP's oil spill response on the company's Web site. The Gawker Web site said it received a tip about a BP photo, taken from inside a helicopter, that shows a panorama of vessels working on the sea surface near the damaged well. The view through the windows makes it appear as though the helicopter is in the air. But the astute tipster noticed a small...

Dire realities of the methane predicament in the Gulf of Mexico

Methane Gas, Methane Hydrate & Methane Clathrate Formations and Behavior There has been a spate of articles recently throughout the MSM and alternative media depicting the methane gas predicament associated with the BP Gulf Oil Spill. Many of these perspectives portray an alarming state of affairs concerning extremely high concentrations of methane that have accumulated in numerous areas in the Gulf of Mexico. The two primary issues of concern are the methane effects in the aquatic environment and the methane gas...

Tropical System to Soon Impact South Florida, Keys

UN in fresh bid to salvage international deal on climate change

Climate change campaigners yesterday welcomed UN plans to amend the way changes to the Kyoto protocol are made in an effort to salvage negotiations on a new international deal. Under the plans, countries could be forced to accept decisions made by a majority of members. Currently, no resolution...

An evil atmosphere is forming around geoengineering

IN 1892 Edvard Munch witnessed a blood-red sunset over Oslo, Norway. Shaken by it, he wrote in his diary that he felt "a great, unending scream piercing through nature". The incident inspired him to create his most famous painting, The Scream. The striking sunset was probably caused by the eruption of Krakatoa, which sent a massive plume of ash and gas into the upper atmosphere, turning sunsets red around...

Scotland denies conspiracy over Lockerbie release

First Minister Alex Salmond denied the firm played a role in the release last August of the Libyan convicted of blowing up Pan Am flight 103 over the Scottish town of Lockerbie in 1988. The bombing killed 270 people, including 189 Americans. "We had no contact with BP either written or verbal or any lobbying of that kind as far as the process of compassionate release was concerned," Salmond told BBC Radio 4. He reiterated the denial in a letter sent to U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, which is due to hold a hearing next week...

Obama bows to Chinese pressure....US will not deploy USS George Washington strike group to Yellow Sea

The Obama administration has given in to pressure from China and will not send the aircraft carrier strike group led by the USS George Washington to the Yellow Sea for upcoming naval exercises. The move followed protests from Beijing that a warship group in that area would pose a threat to China. The carrier, however, will take part in exercises beginning this weekend on the eastern side of the Korean Peninsula in the Sea of Japan, a location that was not opposed by China. Officially, Pentagon spokesmen insist the decision on the Yellow...

US-Iranian combat looms in Iraq as US plans UN role for US troop remnant

Rising military tensions are reported in Iraq as pro-Iranian Shiite militias appear to be planning attacks on American forces, debkafile's exclusive sources report from Washington and Baghdad. Tehran is furious over Washington's decision to retain a number of US troops in Iraq, possibly as UN peacekeepers, after the pullout pledged by President Barak Obama to start on September 1 Administration officials are holding intense consultations with UN Secretary Ban Ki-Moon for the US detachment staying...

Wall Street Reform Signed Into Law

Painting the day in a historical context, President Obama signed the Wall Street reform bill into law at the Ronald Reagan building in Washington, D.C late this morning. “We are gathered, in the heart of our nation’s capital, surrounded by memorials to leaders and citizens who served our nation in its earliest days and in its days of greatest trial. Today is such time for America,” President Obama said, “these reforms represent the strongest consumer financial protections in history -- in history.” Flanked by Chairman Frank and Dodd, Vice President Biden,..

Gold Coin Sellers Angered by New Tax Law

Those already outraged by the president's health care legislation now have a new bone of contention -- a scarcely noticed tack-on provision to the law that puts gold coin buyers and sellers under closer government scrutiny. The issue is rising to the fore just as gold coin dealers are attracting attention over sales tactics. Section 9006 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will amend the Internal Revenue Code to expand the scope of Form 1099. Currently, 1099 forms are used to track and report the miscellaneous income...

Bernanke's bearish outlook rattles US investors

The chairman of the Federal Reserve went on to hint however that although the American central bank “remains prepared” to take action should the nascent US economic recovery falter, such action remains a long way off. Nonetheless the admittedly bearish comments from the Fed chairman unsettled investors on Wall Street, with the benchmark Dow Jones index – which at one stage had traded up by as much as 40 points – closing down 109.43 points – or 1.07pc – at 10,120.53. The FTSE 100 slipped slightly on Thursday, touching a low...

Bond chaos forecast as Wall Street reform restricts use of credit ratings

Uncertainty over the implications of Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Protection Act, which was signed into law yesterday, has led Standard & Poor's, Moody's and Fitch to ask directly or imply that their ratings should no longer be used in any new debt issues. In a statement issued by Fitch on Monday, it said it could not "consent to including Fitch credit ratings in prospectuses and registration statements at this time". S&P and Moody's have each issued their own similar statements, as the agencies assess the impact of the new regulation...

Swiss endure safe-haven agony from euro flight

The Swiss National Bank (SNB) said it lost over 14bn francs (£8.8bn) in the first half of the year in a forlorn attempt to hold down the currency against the euro. "If we have a US slowdown with a fresh financial crisis, everybody is going to want to buy the Swiss franc, along with bottled water, tins hats, and a shotgun," said David Bloom, currency chief at HSBC. "Now that Japan’s debt is around 200pc of GDP the franc has displaced the yen as the ultimate safe haven." The franc has appreciated dramatically against the euro since the debt crisis surfaced...

New Allegations in Madoff Case Against $1 Billion 'Enablers'

One of Greenwich, Connecticut's wealthiest and most socially prominent financiers, Walter Noel, was accused today of "aiding, abetting, enabling and substantially participating" in Bernard Madoff's legendary Ponzi scheme. The allegations came in a complaint filed by the Madoff Bankruptcy Trustee against Noel and others who worked with him at the Fairfield-Greenwich investment fund, including one of his daughters and at least two sons-in-law. According to the complaint, Noel and others collected more than one billion dollars...

Poll: Only 11% confident in Congress

Herman Cain for President?....Former Godfather Pizza CEO may run as Republican candidate in 2012

He could be President Obama's worst nightmare – a business mastermind, a natural problem solver and a black man of "substance" who says he would "take the race card off the table" in a challenge against Obama as the GOP presidential candidate in 2012. Has Obama met his match? "We need a realistic candidate to run on the Republican ticket who can beat Barack Obama...

GOP Lawmaker Blasts White House for $23M Spent on Kenya Constitution Vote

A Republican lawmaker is accusing the White House of “unconscionable” and “illegal” acts for its role in Kenya's referendum on a new constitution, which would legalize abortion in the country for the first time. Rep. Chris Smith of New Jersey cited a report by the U.S. Agency...

Lawmaker pushes Holder on 'sanctuary cities'

Frustrated at the Justice Department's lawsuit against Arizona's new immigration law, a Republican congressman introduced a bill demanding that the attorney general also take action against so-called "sanctuary cities," which discourage immigration enforcement. Rep. Duncan Hunter's bill is the latest step as lawmakers seek to inject themselves into the debate and force their colleagues to take a stand on the contentious Arizona law. One of those moves...

World court Kosovo ruling could have global impact

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is to issue a non-binding ruling on Serbia's 2009 claim that Kosovo's declaration of independence secession was a "flagrant violation" of its territorial integrity. "If the ICJ opinion establishes a new principle, an entire process of creating new states would open throughout the world, something that would destabilize many regions of the world,"..

Memphis Christians Fear Discrimination if Revision to Anti-Bias Policy Gets OK

A proposed ordinance in Memphis, Tenn., that would ban discrimination against gays is causing outrage among some local critics who say the ordinance itself would be discriminatory -- against people who oppose homosexuality because of their religious beliefs. "It's going to discriminate against people of faith who are Christians in their worldview, and I believe with all my heart that they have rights too," says Bellevue Baptist Church Pastor Steven Gaines. The amendment to the city’s existing...

University of Illinois Says Professor ‘Has Not Been Fired’ for Teaching Catholic Doctrine On Homosexuality in Catholicism Class – He’s Just Not Teaching Classes

Nicolae Ceausescu exhumed 'wearing his black winter coat'

His son-in-law, who watched the bodies being exhumed, said Ceausescu appeared to be wearing "his black winter coat", which had holes in it. A three-man firing squad shot the couple on Christmas Day 1989 after a hasty trial sentenced them to death as Eastern Europe's bloodiest revolution reached its climax. But relatives of the late and hated couple have repeatedly questioned whether the two bodies buried in the Ghencea...

[Updated] 37 states join probe into Google Wi-Fi data collection

A multistate investigation is raising more questions about how Google Inc. may have improperly gathered people's private information through their unsecured wireless networks while collecting data for its Street View feature. Connecticut Atty. Gen. Richard Blumenthal, who has been leading the month-old investigation, sent a third letter to Google on Wednesday asking, among other things, whether it had tested the feature's...

Is ET using Twitter? Scientists claim aliens are likely to be sending short messages to us from space

Sometimes it seems as if the expansion of the social networking phenomenon knows no bounds. And now scientists say even aliens might not be immune to Twitter. They could have been using cosmic 'tweets' to contact us for decades, researchers claim - but we have been missing them. While any 'lost in space' messages wouldn't exactly be restricted to 140 characters, as on the...

Scientists find even more evidence of water on the moon

Scientists have discovered that there is water everywhere on the moon. Analysis of moon rock suggests that a chemically altered form of water is bound up within a volcanic lunar mineral. The findings lead experts to believe that water is widespread on both the outside and inside of the moon. And the discovery means that it would be far easier for humans to one day...
