Southern California is overdue for a major earthquake along the San Andreas fault, according to a landmark study released Friday.

The long-awaited study came after scientists spent years studying the geology of the Carrizo Plain area of the San Andreas, which is about 100 miles northwest of Los Angeles. It found that earthquakes along the San Andreas fault have occurred far more often than previously believed.

Showing hot spot off Tampa/St Pete, moreso than the well site. Curious since that is where Arctic Sunrise was docked for a few days, plus people breaking out in rash after swimming in their pools at that location.

Maybe Tampa/St Pete didn't have a boat cleaning station out in the Gulf like they did at Panama City. Just brought those morphing-metal eating bugs right on into port.

That BeePeeOildisaster guy is nuts don't you fall for his stupid theory you moron
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1078537



Whoaaa, Canuck!

The information for the boat-cleaning station came from a county emergency services document where boats were required to clean off in the Gulf before coming into port around Panama City, plus there are boat cleaning stations at dock. According to that emergency document, in effect between August 27, 2010 7am to September 3, 2010 7am, no boat was allowed to enter harbor unless the tide was outgoing and the boat was cleaned.

I admit I'm guessing about the morphing-metal eating bugs, but what-the-hell else are boat captains being required to clean off their boat before coming into dock? And, why were they allowed to only come in during outgoing tide?

Right now, the BeePeeOilDisaster guy makes more sense than any of the paid-to-play con men spouting an "all safe."

Pennsylvania’s Homeland Security Chief Goes Into Hiding

The former Special Forces colonel who has headed the state Office of Homeland Security for four years and who now finds himself at the center of a firestorm over an anti-terrorism contract is missing in action.

James F. Powers Jr. has basically gone underground since Tuesday, when Gov. Ed Rendell denounced a $103,000 no-bid contract that Mr. Powers had given to the Institute of Terrorism Research and Response, which has offices in Philadelphia and Israel.

When I see videos of those on the gulf, actually starting to fight back, by asking pertinent questions, then turning around and challenging what they are being told by authorities...I believe we can see changes coming. That change started somewhere...

Pisces has been there for two months.

The ship took over from the Haliburton Stim Star III (well stimulation boat) and the HOS Iron Horse (fluid supply) around the end of July.

I had thought the ship was there to feed an underwater dispersant system set up over the Dome to hide the leaks but as I have learned the ship has a 20,000 bpd producion capacity I believe the Hali boat setup some collection systems and the Pisces is producing the oil from the seeps.

I also have a theory that Well B is currently being produced to the Shell pipeline in MC252 so it could also be playing some role in that. I saw the Helix Producer parted a few KM to the NE of the Pisces yesterday about where the pipeline runs.

Gulf Oil Spill: Bacteria mainly ate the gas, not the oil
September 16, 2010 | 9:33 pm

Bacteria that attacked the plumes of oil and gas from the Deepwater Horizon gusher in the Gulf of Mexico mainly digested natural gas spewing from the wellhead — propane, ethane and butane — rather than oil, according to a study published in the journal Science.

The paper doesn't rule out the possibility that bacteria also are consuming oil from the spill, the authors said. Instead, it suggests that natural gas primed the growth of bacteria that may have gone on to digest "more complex hydrocarbons" — oil — as the spill aged and propane and ethane were depleted.

Still, lead author David L. Valentine, a professor of microbial geochemistry at UC Santa Barbara, said the findings temper hopes that microorganisms detected by scientists in the gulf have eaten up most of the oil there, as other scientists had recently suggested. "It's hard to imagine these bacteria are capable of taking down all components of oil," he said. "These stories about superbugs taking down all the oil — it's more complex than that."

In a candid interview, Israel's Defense Minister Ehud Barak endorsed dividing Jerusalem and placing Jewish sites in the Old City under an independent regime. Barak says:

"West Jerusalem and 12 Jewish neighborhoods that are home to 200,000 residents will be ours. The Arab neighborhoods in which close to a quarter million Palestinians live will be theirs. There will be a special regime in place along with agreed upon arrangements in the Old City, the Mount of Olives and the City of David."

"China Explores a Frontier 2 Miles Deep"

By WILLIAM J. BROAD

Published: September 11, 2010

[link to www.nytimes.com]


When three Chinese scientists plunged to the bottom of the South China Sea in a tiny submarine early this summer, they did more than simply plant their nation’s flag on the dark seabed.
Enlarge This Image
Wang Wensheng/ChinaFotoPress

The Jiaolong submersible planted a Chinese flag on the bottom of the South China Sea during a two-mile-deep dive in June.

Video Video: China Submersible Travels to the Bed of the South China Sea (via CNTV)

RSS Feed
RSS Get Science News From The New York Times »

The men, who descended more than two miles in a craft the size of a small truck, also signaled Beijing’s intention to take the lead in exploring remote and inaccessible parts of the ocean floor, which are rich in oil, minerals and other resources that the Chinese would like to mine. And many of those resources happen to lie in areas where China has clashed repeatedly with its neighbors over territorial claims.

After the flag planting, which was done in secret but recorded in a video, Beijing quickly turned the feat of technology into a show of bravado.

“It is a great achievement,” Liu Feng, director of the dives, was quoted as saying by China Daily, an English-language newspaper, which telegraphs government positions to the outside world.

The global seabed is littered with what experts say is trillions of dollars’ worth of mineral nodules as well as many objects of intelligence value: undersea cables carrying diplomatic communications, lost nuclear arms, sunken submarines and hundreds of warheads left over from missile tests.

While a single small craft cannot reel in all these treasures, it does put China in an excellent position to go after them.

“They’re in it for a penny and a pound,” said Don Walsh, a pioneer of deep-ocean diving who recently visited the submersible and its makers in China. “It’s a very deliberate program.”

The small craft that made the trip — named Jiaolong, after a mythical sea dragon — was unveiled publicly late last month after eight years of secretive development. It is designed to go deeper than any other in the world, giving China access to 99.8 percent of the ocean floor.

Technically, it is a submersible. These craft differ from submarines in their small size, their need for a mother ship on the surface, and their ability to dive extraordinarily far despite the darkness and the crushing pressures. The world has only a few.

Jiaolong is meant to go as deep as 7,000 meters, or 4.35 miles, edging out the current global leader. Japan’s Shinkai 6500 can go as deep as 6,500 meters, outperforming craft “all over the world,” according to its makers. Russia, France and the United States lag further behind in the game of going deep.

American experts familiar with the Chinese undersea program say it is unusual in that Beijing has little experience in the daunting field. As a result, China is moving cautiously. Jiaolong’s sea trials began quietly last year and are to continue until 2012, its dives going deeper in increments.

“They’re being very cautious,” Dr. Walsh said. “They respect what they don’t know and are working hard to learn.”

In an interview, Dr. Walsh said that the Chinese were especially interested in avoiding the embarrassment of a disaster that ends with the aquanauts’ entrapment or death. “If I’m the new kid on the block,” he said, “I’m going to make sure that I’ve got bragging rights.”

Still, China is already waving flags. The move resembles how Russian scientists, in the summer of 2007, plunged through the ice pack at the North Pole and planted their flag on the bottom of the ocean. Upon surfacing, the explorers declared that the feat had strengthened Moscow’s claims to nearly half the Arctic seabed.

Wang Weizhong, a Chinese vice minister of science and technology, said that the Jiaolong’s sea trials “marked a milestone” for China and global exploration. The recent successes of the craft, he said in late August at a news conference in Beijing, “laid a solid foundation for its practical application in resource surveys and scientific research.”

But at least one senior Chinese expert questioned what he called “the current propaganda.” The expert, Weicheng Cui, a professor at the China Ship Scientific Research Center, which is building the submersible, said Thursday in an e-mail that the craft’s sea trials had steered clear of contested islands “to avoid any diplomatic issues.”

Re: Something Just Went BEZERK in the Gulf of Mexico. The US Navy just sunk a French Submarine
It's not big deal those depths. We designed/developed/tested those kind of submersibles back in 80's. As soviets made aqusition order for submarsibles from us. Luckily for us western "partners" arrogantly thought that we couldn't accomplish that kind of feat and so they gave us OK to take that order in. Well rest is history, but only grievance is that after initial run they got pressure on so no furher official dealings anymore:( Well those "partners" tried to pressure/spy/bribe those methods out, but they still haven't got all those tricks:)

Here's bit of official history: [link to www.wtec.org]

Well they are back and now Nasa is here buggering again offically studying how raindrops behave in misty rains...

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1084315



People commenting on the NASA story believe that Finland's clouds are being seeded with Aluminium because it will significantly reduce seed germination and that there is a GM patent on Aluminium-proof germinating seeds.

Another comment is that NASA is there to spy out Finland's secret hiding places in the rocks with the finely tuned satellite and to map the cities.

Did I miss something in the translation?

I realize it is TGIF in the states, and people are busy, but the BP shills left after Woodie's post.

Do you reckon the shills just figured out that they don't have a ticket to ride?

So that's why we got the "44" news article telling that the Americans had 500 workers in Antarctica.

Thanks for posting Woodie. This is going to give Nexus something to think about.

Would you be so kind as to either repost the quote you are referring to or to link it. I have read all 608 pages, but I do not recognize this reference. Thank you.

Edit for wrong # of pages
