The Washington Post's Dana Milbank notes that Chief Justice John Roberts appeared "bothered" that Exxon might have to pay for its destruction:What bothered the chief justice was that Exxon was being ordered to pay $2.5 billion -- roughly three weeks' worth of profits -- for destroying a long swath of the Alaska coastline in the largest oil spill in American history."So what can a corporation do to protect itself against punitive-damages awards such as this?" Roberts asked in court.The lawyer arguing for the Alaska fishermen affected by the spill, Jeffrey Fisher, had an idea. "Well," he said, "it can hire fit and comp

The United Nations will lead an eight-person team of marine pollution and civil protection experts being deployed today to assess the 7 December oil spill in the Republic of Korea, the worst in the Asian nation's history.The team will comprise staff from the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the European Commission's Monitoring and Information Centre (MIC) and the European Maritime Safety Agency.It will offer advice on how to manage the emergency, remove the remaining oil and limit its spread.Over 10,000 tons of crude oil were spilled when a barge slammed into a tanker, and they later hit beaches 100 kilometres south of Seoul on 8 December. That region is a crucial habitat for migrating birds and is home to an important fishing industry.The UN-EC team will complement the Korean authorities' efforts, and also suggest measures towards long-term recovery for the ecosystem of the area impacted by the spill.Via: United Nat

South Korea's maritime officials are struggling to contain the world's biggest oil spill in 4 1/2 years after a supertanker collided with a barge near Hyundai Oilbank Co.'s refinery on the nation's west coast. The slick was about 10 miles long as of 10 a.m. in Seoul today, widening from 4.6 miles late yesterday, said Jeong Se Hee, a maritime police official at Korea's Coast Guard. The collision caused a spill of 10,500 metric tons (78,750 barrels) of crude oil before the Hebei Spirit stopped leaking, the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries said yesterday. ``The oil slick is spreading out fast near the coast,'' Jeong said today by telephone from Taean, a seaside resort 150 kilometers (93 miles) south of Seoul. ``We're setting up oil fences around sea farms to minimize damage to fishermen.'' The band of oil has reached three beaches off the west coast and hit one sea farm of oysters and abalone, said Song Myu

The Alaska subsidiary of oil company BP pleaded guilty today to a federal environmental crime for failing to prevent a crude spill across a swath of delicate tundra in America's largest oil field. The guilty plea by BP Exploration Alaska. is part of a settlement with the government over a 200,000-gallon pipeline spill at the Prudhoe Bay field in March 2006. It was the largest spill ever in the vast, oil-rich region of Arctic Alaska known as the North Slope. Under the agreement, BP pleaded guilty to one violation of the Clean Water Act, a misdemeanor, and will pay $20 million in fines for allowing the pipeline to corrode. The company will also be under probation for a maximum of three years. "We believe the sentence contained in the plea agreement is both fair and just," said James Wilk, BPXA's vice president and chief of staff, at the arraignment in U.S. District Court in Anchorage. "We have taken many actions to learn from these events and make changes to mitigate the risks of simi

Rescuers on Monday recovered the bodies of three sailors after a Russian freighter sank near the Black Sea. The Nakhichevan was one of two freighters that broke up as 18-foot waves and high winds battered ships throughout the region. As many as 10 ships sank or ran aground in the northern Black Sea region during the fierce storm, including the Volganeft-139, an oil tanker loaded with nearly 1.3 million gallons of fuel oil. Nearly half its cargo spilled into the strait and was washing up on nearby shorelines in what officials said it could be the worst environmental disaster in the region in years. After rescuing the Russian tanker’s 13 crew members, workers began what could be a long-term effort to clean up the spill. They shoveled the tar-like, oil-laden sands and seaweed into piles on the shore as slick-covered waters lapped at their boots. Oil covered birds could be seen trying to swim flap their wings.

www.maltastar.com An American chemist in 1931, fueled by a bet, invented the earliest formula for what today’s scientists are calling this generations greatest scientific discovery according to maltastar.com. The substance is named Aerogel and it is one of the lightest solids in the world. Aerogel is strong enough to withstand a “1kg dynamite explosion and protect against heat from a blowtorch at more than 1,300C. According to calculateme.com 1,300C aka Celsius equates to 2,372 degrees Fahrenheit. Nicknamed “frozen smoke”, Aerogel is made by extracting water from a silica gel and replacing it with a gas such as carbon dioxide according to Northwestern University professor Mercouri Kanatzidis. One of it’s greatest uses will be in absorbing pollution from liquids. Scientist Mark Krajewski says Aerogel is “the ultimate spounge” with millions of tiny spores on it’s surface making it ideal for absorbing pollutants in water. Consequently th

The Motley Fool (www.fool.com) says it well: […] “whatever the cause, another more subtle loser whenever oil or product ends up where it shouldn't -- and especially when wildlife is affected -- is the entirety of the energy sector. Unfortunately, that will be true in the current case, even though the spill hasn't the slightest relationship to oil drilling or production. With crude prices spiraling toward $100 a barrel and an all-hands-on-deck effort needed to increase current production, this sort of inevitable publicity spillover will be anything but helpful.” […]

Courtesy www.sfgate.com A cargo ship bound for San Francisco collided with the Bay Bridge resulting in 58,000 gallons of fuel being dumped into the bay. Initial reports sited by Eric Bailey of the Los Angeles Times showed that the tides had spread the slick to “several beaches and threatened shorebirds, seals, and other marine mammals that make a home in the bay.” According to Steve Edinger assistant chief for the California Deptartment of Fish and Game “This is a significant event. . . this one we are very concerned about.” The ship collided with a steel and concrete shield which protects one of the Oakland Bay Bridge’s support towers. The bridge piling was not damaged and the shield itself is under repair. Meanwhile the damaged container ship the “Cosco Busan” was towed to Candlestick point and surrounded by 18,000 feet of “log booms” to contain the leakage.

"No Really, I'm Fine" - which debutted on market October 2nd, is their 3rd album and which I believe their best album to date. There are actually few songs that really stands out like "The Truth", "Saved" [which was featured on Sound of Superman], "Connect the Dots", "Appreciation and the Bomb" and "One Thing is for Sure". The album itself was well engineered, the mixing, the timing and their vocals really stands-out. If you're looking for an easy listening alternative-rock album - then I am confident to recommend and share this album. It's really a must-have album.

Air, kopi dan soda adalah salah satu musuh besar laptop Anda. Sedikit tumpahan ke keyboard laptop dapat mengakibatkan kehilangan data penting. Beberapa memang laptop sangat rentan dari tumpahan cairan.Cara yang paling baik adalah mencegah cangkir-cangkir kopi, kaleng soda dan gelas minuman jauh-jauh dari laptop Anda. Tapi kenyataannya berbeda, selalu saja ada kejadian cairan yang tumpah.Beberapa langkah darurat yang dapat dilakukan antara lain :1. Jika laptop terpasang langsung ke listrik, matikan arus listrik melalui circuit breaker rumah atau kantor. Anda tidak mau terkena sengatan listrik 110/220 volts bukan?Jika laptop menggunakan baterai, masih bisa beroperasi dan tidak ada loncatan listrik, tidak ada suara aneh atau bau komponen terbakar, segera shutdown seperti biasa.Jika ada yang tidak beres, segera matikan laptop dengan menekan tombol OFF atau dengan melepas baterai laptop tersebut.2.

It’s like the Exxon Valdez stopped at my house. It’s a beautiful summery day and I open my front door to find a FedEx package on my doorstep. The shirt I ordered for my husband from L.L. Bean has arrived! I put on a pair of shoes and trot out first to the mailbox. I clutch the mail and the Fed Ex package to my chest as I walk up the path to the front door . I walk into the house and throw the mail and the package on the couch, as I always do. I notice my hands feel very oily. I notice small oil spots on the mail. What gives? The culprit becomes apparent - the Fed Ex package is drenched in what appears to be motor oil. And it’s sitting on my couch. A whirlwind of activity ensues while I try to remove the oil from my couch cushion, the floor, and myself. I scrub a section of the floor where I had placed the package for a moment. I scrub my couch cushion with some non-toxic laundry detergent; lastly I change my clothes and launder them. I called FedEx and they were very

A geyser of oil sprung up from the streets of a Vancouver suburb yesterday, after a construction crew's backhoe inadvertently broke a pipeline that connected a refinery to a refuelling facility in... Earth-centred news for the health of air, water, habitat and the fight against global warming

Sometime around noon today, a construction crew working on the Barnet Highway (around Ridge Avenue and Inlet Drive) struck oil! More specifically they ruptured a pipeline that feeds crude to a nearby refinery. Idiots! Who says there’s never any action in Burnaby? According to news reports, a river of oil is flowing down the road and into the Burrard Inlet, which runs alongside the entire stretch of the highway (hence its clever name). Surrounding homes were coated in oil (that’s going to leave a stain), and residents were evacuated and the highway has been shut down — probably for a couple days. Of course, the major concern now is the oil in the water, which is flowing to Port Moody (shit!) and not Vancouver. This video was shot as the geyser of oil shot 20 metres into the air for half an hour. Near the end, you’ll see the street and some cars that are now coated in oil, which looks like a shiny new black paint job. I’m not sure who’s responsibl

It looks as if Britney Spears is going to have a tell all interview with OK! magazine. My, those folks at OK! have been busy, haven’t they? Evidently she personally called the mag and asked to speak to the editor in chief, Sara Ivens, to negotiate a deal for the interview. Hmmm, will that interview fetch $2 million dollars just like Eva Longoria’s wedding photos did? Reportedly she will speak about the fall out between her and her mother, Lynne, the custody battle and divorce from loser K-Fed, and her recent stay in rehab. Is she going to talk about what a whackjob she is too? Stay tuned…that issue is set to hit newsstands at the end of the month. Britney+Spears, interview, OK!+Magazine

Paradime has a new interview of his published at HipHopSix.com. The interview comes at a time when Dime has released his latest album Spill at Will, but his solo career isn’t the only thing he’s up to. Dime is asked about his involvement in Trick Trick’s Goon Sqwad project. SiX: For the HipHopSiX readers, breakdown the Goon Sqwad for us, how’s that fit into your regime? Break down who’s in that exactly… Well, GS is still in it’s early stages, but I can tell you that from what we done so far? Shits gonna be ridiculous. It’s Trick-Trick, Guilty Simpson, Bareda, Blackface, Diezel and myself. Trick is the general, and is putting it all together, and we’re pretty much gonna kick the industry in its face and shoot its mother. SiX: You think Goon Sqwad might blow? Is there anything coming up with all you guys on, as a team? We would be fools to go into this project without the intent to blow it up, so that’s that. and yea, Trick’s new rec

TSA Uses Web to Counter Mother's Allegation of Improper DetentionFederal security officials took the unusual step yesterday of posting an incident report and security camera footage on their Web site to counter allegations that screeners and police officers at Reagan National Airport mistreated a mother and her toddler last week. At issue is whether Monica Emmerson, a former Secret Service officer and District resident, was improperly detained when she spilled water out of her child's sippy cup.Emmerson's story: As she was going through security, a screener with the Transportation Security Administration asked if there was water in her 19-month-old son's sippy cup. For nearly a year, TSA has banned most fluids and gels from carry-on luggage because it is concerned about liquid explosives.The screener then seized the cup, Adler related, causing Emmerson's son to wail. Emmerson was told that if she wanted to keep the cup, she should leave the security checkpoint, dump out the water
