"The environmental writer and frequent Huffington Post contributor Jerry Cope has confirmed the approximate size of the slick and says that skimming operations have been under way for at least 24 hours now. The suspected source is the Matterhorn Mc243 facility only about 25 miles from where BP’s Macondo well spewed more than 200 million gallons of crude into the Gulf last year..."

Civet 'cat' dung secret to Indonesia luxury coffee
"A wild civet eats ripe Arabika coffee beans at a plantation which produces Luwak coffee on the Indonesian island of Bali. The "golden droppings" of the luwak produced after the creature eats and then excretes ripe coffee beans, can fetch up to $800 per kilogram in countries like the US, Australia, and Singapore but suppliers are stuggling to meet demand."

Lasers, custom microscope show gene splicing process in real time
"From neurosurgery to bar code readers, lasers have been used in a myriad of applications since they were first introduced in the late 1950's. Now, with the work being done in Jeff Gelles' Lab at Brandeis University, researchers have developed a way to use lasers to study the splicing of pre-messenger RNA molecules, an essential process in creating proteins to sustain advanced organisms, including human life. This process of splicing is carried out by a cellular micro-machine called the spliceosome."

Internal Opposition Grows to Further Bailout Measures
"It turned out to be a decision that was entirely to Free Democratic Party (FDP) leader Guido Westerwelle's taste. The coalition lawmakers of the center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU) along with its Bavarian sister party the Christian Social Union (CSU) and the business-friendly FDP have jointly managed to clip the wings of overly generous rescuers of the euro."

Keep an eye on your savings – you can be sure the State is
"In Latin America, just before a bankrupt state entirely runs out of money, it is traditional to try one last smashand- grab for the savings of the private citizen. We have seen this trend not just in South America’s recent financial history but down through the ages, where kings, tyrants and emperors expropriate the wealth of the nation to prop up their dysfunctional regimes..."

'Singing' mice -- the ongoing debate of nature vs. nurture
"What happened to being "quiet as a mouse"? Researchers have recently shown that, rather than being the silent creatures of popular belief, mice emit ultrasonic calls in a variety of social contexts, and these calls have song-like characteristics. So if mice sing, where do they get their music? Are they born with the songs fully formed in their heads, or do they learn them from their peers? This question is of great interest to scientists as, while many organisms produce genetically regulated vocalizations, only a select few species (such as ourselves) can actually learn these vocalizations. If it turns out that mice can indeed learn new songs, it would provide a very convenient mammalian model of vocal learning."

Mass Animal Deaths - Corexit - A video
Here is an interesting discussiont about the Mass Animal Deaths possibly being related to Corexit and oil contamination of the ecosystem.
"Near-record numbers of manatees have died in Florida waters in early 2011"
"...Authorities at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are also investigating the huge increase in baby dolphins found washed up dead along the US Gulf Coast, in the first birthing season since the BP oil spill disaster."

Update on Baby Dolphin Deaths: Watch for BP Sponsored Misinformation
Watch out for more and more disinformation by government scientific organizations and media outlets co-opted by BP and other corporate masters. The article below illustrates the problem. A pattern (locations of the found baby dolphin carcasses) is discussed. The practitioners of misinformation (including a NOAA scientist) try to say that the fact that more carcasses were found on Alabama and Mississippi shores greatly reduces the possibility of connection to the spilled oil (note they fail to mention Corexit, which interestingly has the side-effect of miscarriages in mammals) because fewer dolphin carcasses have been found on Louisiana shores. Scientists promote several unfounded or far-fetched hypotheses, just as with the mass deaths of birds, fish and other see life in the past six months, rather that consider the possibility that we might be seeing effects on the ecosystem of the largest oil spill in history coupled with the largest use of chemical dispersant (Corexit 9500, Corexit 9527) in history. Please read the following article with a critical eye!

Column: Media cover-up, fishy sources in abnormal incidents after oil spill
"Sudden animal deaths not such a coincidence.
All over the eastern and southern United States, puzzled scientists are wondering why thousands of blackbirds simultaneously fell dead from the sky, or why hundreds of millions of dead fish clog entire rivers. The media has assured the public that legitimate scientists have made it clear with absolute certainty that what may seem like an unusual wave of massive animal deaths, is actually very normal.
At least that is how the story looks in the news...."

Tracking the Recent Mass Animal Deaths Worldwide
Here is a map we have been following that tracks the recent rash of mysterious mass animal deaths worldwide. We think there may be a strong link to the contamination of the food web by the BP Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico last summer and the dumping/spraying of over 1.8 million gallons of the dispersants Corexit 9500 and Corexit 9527 into the Gulf and the air.
