The fish kill was reported to the Louisiana Department of Wildlife & Fisheries and the cause has not yet been determined, the parish said. The fish were found in an area that has been impacted by the oil from the BP oil spill, the parish said. The dead fish include pogies, redfish, drum, crabs, shrimp and freshwater eel, the parish said. "We can't continue to see these fish kills,'' Nungesser said in a news release. "We need some additional tests to find out why these fish are dying in large numbers. If it is low oxygen, we need to identify the cause." |

We know that the oil plume is closer to the surface. The fish kill was in the Mississippi Delta. That reasonably suggests to me that BP's death soup in the Gulf is near enough to the surface and close enough to the Coast that it's flowing inland. And, that the death plume is near enough to the surface that there is concern about radiation affecting the workers. Water protects from radiation, but what if the water is radioactive?

Could DEADLY EMBRACE also be a codename for a mission ? OP talked about designationnames ... OP 3:05 PM 9/1/2010 Good evening, to confirm the wider DED spectrum is for the Falklands. We could only see their signatures but not the DED chatter. Now we can for both the gulf Of Mexico and the FalkLand's. I Want to clear some things(two) up to you and to the "others". first. There was some confusion about call signs and signatures which I hear I was responsible for. Vessels call signs are not the same as the vessels signature on DED. I Apologize I mixed them up sometimes. Call signs change all the time depending on mission and designation, signature(name)never changes. (like with your US aircraft the call sign becomes Air Force One when POTUS is onboard) second. The DED transcripts or chatter is also in code. I have to first translate the DED chatter using the French Key, then I have to translate the French text to English. Each countries senior Embassies have their own country specific code to translate DED codes to text From the FLK DED Traffic Chatter three British vessels (Two surface vessels and one Submarine) have been designated the call signs DEADLY EMBRACE 3, DEADLY EMBRACE 2 and the submarine is DEADLY EMBRACE 1I Will Now begin posting DED chatter as is, I've not had enough time to analyze it properly. There are some new terminology which I cant translate yet. OP sais they are BRITISH ... but of British manufactor or British flag/crew (dedicated to Britain), Maybe the Deadly Embrace is FOR the Muslims ? Or is it a british/muslim Operation ...

So it seems to be : [link to webcache.googleusercontent.com] "The 1988 killing of three Irish Republican Army (IRA) members in Gibraltar by the SAS was reportedly viewed as a bungled operation by Mossad who had originally tracked the Irish terrorists who they suspected of running guns from Lebanon. Wishing to avoid further problems with London by not attempting to kill or capture them on British soil, the surveillance operation was handed over to MI5, and of course later to the SAS, whose heavy-handed approach finally prevented interrogation of the suspects.

All technical problems have been resolved during the past field season, says Valery Lukin, director of the Russian Antarctic programme, who spoke at the meeting, held by the American Geophysical Union in Baltimore, Maryland. -Some researchers worry that a Russian success could come at the cost of biological and chemical contamination of the pristine waters. "Let's hope they don't spoil the lake," says Robert Bindschadler, a glaciologist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. -Lukin says that his country's team has come up with plans to safeguard Lake Vostok. The team will cut through the ice using a heated drill, with non-toxic silicone oil serving as the lubricating fluid. It will also explore the lake in stages; at first it will only suck up a water sample before allowing the bottom of the hole to refreeze. Plans for lowering instruments into the lake to explore the bottom sediment will be postponed until an extra environmental assessment has been completed. The Antarctic Treaty's committee for environmental protection is expected to approve the Russian plans in October, although there is no official requirement for the team to wait until then. "The Russians are trying very hard to do it right, and that means a lot," says Bell. -they got STUCK ??? ... or they encountered something .... 1 to 2 years to give them advantages on develloping technology to tame whatever was there ... - yup ... wansnt there a posting somewhere that the drilling already kicked off? |
