Gulf of Mexico oil spill prompts worries about Arctic drillingDeborah Zabarenko (FrontRow Washington)

With the spotlight shining onthe BP oil spill in the Gulf of

Mexico, and on the executivessizzling in the hot seat onCapitol Hill, environmentaladvocates are looking north.They're worried that Shell Oil

will start drilling in the ChukchiSea off Alaska before the U.S.government reports on BP'sDeepwater Horizon drill rigdisaster. And the environmentalgroups are not comforted byInterior Secretary Ken Salazar'sreassurances that no newdrilling will take place until thegovernment report is completedby May 28."The May 28 report deadlinestill leaves ample time shouldthe Department of the Interiorchoose to allow this ill-adviseddrilling to move forward inextreme Arctic condit ions,

environmental groups -- AlaskaWilderness League, Center forBiological Diversity, Defendersof Wildlife, Earthjustice, SierraClub and The WildernessSociety -- said in a statement.The Chukchi Sea is home to

polar bears, which are alreadyunder pressure due to meltingsummer sea ice in the Arctic.The big white bears are listed asa U.S. threatened species due to

the expected continued effectsof climate change in the area. Shell plans to move into thearea around July 1, and get tothe places where it wants to drillexploratory wells by July 4 ifice permits. They plan to leavefor the year by October 31.

A n a n a l y s i s o f S h e l l ' sexploration drilling plan by the

Pew Environment Group saysthat provisions for cleanup inthe event of a Chukchi Sea oilspill are inadequate and toodistant from the prospective drillsi te. Marilyn Heiman, theformer director of the ExxonValdez Oil Spill Commissionand now with the Pew group'sU.S. Arctic program, quoted theShell exploration drilling plan as

saying that a large oil spill,such as a crude oil release froma blowout, is extremely rare andnot considered a reasonablyforeseeable impact. Heimans a i d t h e U . S . M i n e r a l sM a n a g e m e n t S e r v i c e ' senvironmental assessment alsodismissed the probability of thiskind of blowout and spill as"insignificant." A blowout at

BP's well off the Louisianacoast is the source of the oil spillthere.Since the BP spill in the Gulf,

the Minerals ManagementService has asked Shell for

additional safety information byMay 18, but that may not bee n o u g h t o a l l a y t h eenvironmental groups' fears.T h e y w a n t t h e O b a m aadministration to cancel thissummer's plans for Arctic oilexploration.

TV cameras zoomed in oncorporate executives squirming,a t o p f e d e r a l r e g u l a t o rpromising answers and U.S.lawmakers venting anger.All of this and more unfolded

during a series of nationallybroadcast dramas on Tuesday astwo congressional panels held

hearings on the spreading BP oilspill, and a third probed lastweeks mysterious collapse onWall Street.Such high-profile investigative

proceedings have been a regularfeature on Capitol Hill for years.Theyve included examining:

the Ku Klux Klan after the CivilWar; the 1912 sinking of theTitanic; the start of The GreatDepression and organized crimein the early 1950s.The quicker a congressionalcommittee can get on the frontpages of newspapers the happierand more content they are, saidStephen Hess, a congressional

scholar at the BrookingsInstitution, a Washington think-tank.Sure, they want to showconcern and even anger. Butthey also want to take a look atp o s s i b l e l e g i s l a t i v e a n dcorrective action, Hess added.This is particularly true during

an election year, like this one.Democrats face angry votersand are scrambling to keepcontrol of the House and Senatein the November election.

They would have held thesehearings regardless who was incontrol of Congress, Hess said.But he added, If this wasnt anelection year, perhaps theywould have waited at least a fewmore days.The House of Representatives

Submitted at 5/11/2010 1:30:00 PM

2008 was the last presidentialelection when voters didntknow or ca re abou t t hecandidates views on China,argues political risk analyst IanBremmer.Bremmers new book The End

of the Free Market argues thatthe Chinese economic model which he calls state capitalism is so fundamentally differentfrom Western free market

capitalism that tensions andeconomic conflict are inevitablein the years ahead.The main goal of Chinas state-

directed capitalism is to harnesseconomic growth to ensurepolitical stability and keep theCommunist Party in power,Bremmer says. And since thefinancial crisis, China has seenthe United States and the Westas less indispensable.

Bremmer is not predicting amilitary confrontation, but aneconomic war, in which Chinareserves large parts of i tsdomestic market to domesticfirms, and elbows out Westernmultinationals he explainsGoogles withdrawal fromChina in terms of protecting

Chinas top internet searchengine Baidu, which is alreadyreaping the benefits.The Obama administration,

which often stresses the mutualinterests of the two nations andtalks in terms of partnership,sometimes underestimates someof the zero-sum games involvedin the relationship, he says.

But there is no doubt thea d m i n i s t r a t i o n d o e s s e echal lenges ahead lastNovember, Obama told Reutersthe two nations needed toaddress economic imbalances orrisk enormous strains on theirrelationship.

There i s ta lk of a yuanrevaluation soon, but that alone

is unlikely to make much of adent on those imbalances orcalm for long protectionistpressures in the U.S. Congressor elsewhere.

The U.S.-China StrategicEconomic Dialogue looms at theend of this month, and thepublic mood music is likely tobe soothing. But behind thescenes, if Bremmer is right,perhaps the United States shouldbe gearing up for more of afight.Photo credits: Reuters/Jonathan

4 E-reader News Edition8 Ways The Gulf Of Mexico Oil Spill Is Going To Be Felt ForDecadesMichael Snyder (BusinessInsider)

Submitted at 5/12/2010 8:34:00 AM

As oil continues to pour into theGulf of Mexico at a staggeringrate, many are now starting torealize that the pain from this oilspill will be felt not just formonths or years - but fordecades. At least 4.2 milliongal lons of oi l (and someestimates put the total at far

higher than that) are already inthe Gulf of Mexico causingu n t o l d d a m a g e t o t h eecologically fragile Louisianacoast.The oil has already made

contact with the ChandeleurIslands off of the coast ofLouisiana, and over the next fewdays more areas are expected tosee oil come ashore. But justbecause t h i s d i sa s t e r i sunfolding in s low-motion doesnot mean that this is not going tobe a complete and utter tragedyfor the Gulf Coast region. Infact, many of those living alongthe Gulf Coast now fear that thisoil spill is going to do far moredamage to the region thanHurricane Katrina did. Andafter Hurricane Katrina andeverything else that folks livingdown there have been throughover the past several years, the

thought of weathering anothermassive tragedy is almost too

much.

Click to see how everyting isgoing to change >It certainly doesn't help that

those attempting to stop the leakdon't really seem to know whatthey are doing. After failing tocontain the oil spill with a giantconcrete and steel dome, BPannounced on Monday that itwill make a second attempt thisweek using a smaller version ofthe dome dubbed the"Top Hat".

"Top Hat"?If BP was as good at stoppingoil leaks as they are at comingup with cute little code namesfor their operations perhaps thiscrisis would be over by now.But the truth is that attempting

to do anything at depths of up toone mile below the surface ofthe Gulf of Mexico is extremelydifficult.It kind of makes you wonder

what in the world we weredoing drilling for oil downthere in the first place.In any event, BP is not just

relying on the "Top Hat" to stopthe leak.BP is also considering plugging

the damaged blowout preventeron the underwater well bypumping debris into it at highpressure. This technique isknown as a "junk shot".Or, in other words, BP would

be plugging the leak by shootinga bunch of garbage into it. One

official recently described thismethod to CBS News thisway...."They are actually going to takea bunch of debris -- someshredded up tires, golf balls andthings like that -- and under very

high pressure shoot it into thepreventer itself and see if theycan clog it up to stop the leak."But what many media outlets

are not admitting is that the"junk shot" procedure isextremely risky. In fact, someexperts a re warning tha ttinkering with the damagedblowout preventer could makethe leak much worse.But something has got to be

done. Even members of theU.S. Congress are admittingthat this oil could end up getting

into the Loop Current andgoing up the east coast of theUnited States....Click to see how everyting isgoing to change >"If this gusher continues forseveral months, it's going to

cover up the Gulf Coast and it'sgoing to get down into the LoopCurrent and that's going to takeit down into the Florida Keysand up the east coast ofFlorida," Florida DemocraticSenator Bill Nelson told CNN.To get an idea of just how

devastating the oil spill in theGulf of Mexico is already,check out the aerial footage inthe video below. As you watch

this video, just try to imaginehow horrific this crisis is goingto be if oil continues to gush

into the Gulf for weeks or

months....The truth is that this has thepotential to be one of thegreatest tragedies in the historyof the United States.#1) TheFishing, Shrimping And OysterIndustries In The Gulf AreBeing Destroyed Seafood is a2.4 billion dollar industry in thestate of Louisiana. In fact,Louisiana produces more than30 percent of the seafood

originating in the continentalUnited States.But that is about to dramatically

change. As the waters offL o u i s i a n a a r e b e i n gprogressively poisoned by allt h e o i l , f i s h e r m e n a n dshrimpers are starting to realizethat their lives will never be thesame.In fact, some local shrimpers in

Louisiana are already predictingthat it will be seven yearsbefore they can set to sea again.

So are they being overlydramatic?

No, especially when youconsider the fact that fishermenin Cordova, Alaska are stillstruggling 21 years after the1989 Exxon Valdez oil spilldevastated the fishing industryin that region.#2) The Damage To TheEnvironment And Wildlife In

5E-reader News EditionCrib Sheet: David Cameron, Prime Minister of the U.K., MyPerfect CousinAddy Dugdale (FastCompany)

Submitted at 5/12/2010 9:02:18 AM

You think choosing a new Popeis a long-winded process? Well,t ry elect ing a new Pr imeMinister in the U.K. Over there,the parliamentary system workson a first-past-the-post basis,meaning that, in order to stickits man in Downing Street, apolitical party has to win overhalf of the 650 seats in theH o u s e o f C o m m o n s . N ooutright majority, no keys toNumber 10. So, six days afterthe country went to the polls, apuff of whi te smoke hasappeared above the rooftops ofthe Palace of Westminster and,the journalists are finallyproclaiming, "Habemus PrimumPraetorem!*" And it's a 43-year-old bloke called Dave.

D a v i d W i l l i a m D o n a l dCameron's upbringing andeducation (Eton--he is theschool's 19th British PM--followed by Oxford University)wou l d sugges t a man o f privilege, out of touch with theman on the street, and as good areason to start a class war as any(the C word being our peculiarobsession). That's not the wholestory, however. He's clever--hegraduated with a First Class

degree in Politics, Philosophy,and Economics--clubbable, and

gossipy. Possessed with the

knack that every good politicianneeds: a photographic memoryfor names and faces, and anabi l i ty to reci te speecheswithout notes, Dave has, sinceh e w o n t h e T o r y p a r t yl eader sh i p r ace i n 2005 ,managed a feat that was seen aswel l -n i gh i mposs i b l e : t odetoxify the Conservatives.And now they're back in power,

after 13 long years of sitting on

the opposition benches. Hurrah!you might think, chuck us acanap, will you? But it's notgoing to be that easy. As theTories failed to get a majority,the new Prime Minister has beenforced into a coalition, with ahandful of Liberal Democratsholding seats in the cabinet. Addthose skirmishes to the nationaldebt, unemployment (somethingoutgoing PM Gordon Brown isabout to discover) and whatlooks to be an unwinnable warin Afghanistan, and you can seethe difficulties he's facing.Britain, it can be argued, has

one of the most combativeparliamentary systems in theworld. The Right HonorableMembers (as the MPs arestyled) sit on tiered benches thatrun down each length of thedebating chamber of the Houseof Commons, the government

on one side, its opponents facingthem down. It's argumentative,

quick-witted stuff--it's also veryfunny at times, and can be a joyto watch--that is not built forcoalition politics. If Dave cankeep the Liberal Democrats--inmany ways they are further tothe left of Labour, and Toriesand they are not naturalbedfellows--happy and/or under

control, the next year will,undoubtedly, bring a new styleof politics to the U.K. Whetherit stands or falls, however, willdepend on the new PM'spolitical skills, keeping theinternecine r ival r ies to aminimum between the twoparties in government, andmaking sure that Labourremains weak and in opposition.Not all juggling acts need balls--

but in order to keep th isbipartisan circus on the road, a

rather large pair will be requiredover the next five years.If anyone is up for such a

challenge, however, it is DavidCameron. The third of four kidsin an extremely close-knitfamily, he and his two eldersiblings see competition as avirtue. Whether it was tennis,

card games, tiddlywinks, orcreative knitting, the three ofthem have always vied amongeach other for position of topdog. And now he really is.Why he's not like us: On the

day of Dave's interview for aresearch job at Conservativeheadquarters reports the BBC,the powers that be received aphone call from BuckinghamPalace, the Queen's residence. "I

understand you are to see DavidCameron," said the caller, an

unnamed male. "I 've tried

everything I can to dissuade himfrom wasting his t ime onpolitics, but I have failed. I amringing to tell you that you areabout to meet a truly remarkableyoung man." Apocryphal ,maybe, tel l ing, cer tain ly .Why he is: Wife Sam (she is

t h e c r e a t i v e d i r e c t o r o f Smythson) is a working mumwho is pregnant with thecouple's fourth child. Their

eldest , Ivan, was severelydisabled and died last year atage six. "When we were firstto ld the extent of Ivan 'sdisability," Cameron said, "Ithought that we would sufferhaving to care for him but atleast he would benefit from ourcare. Now, as I look back, I seethat it was all the other wayround. It was only him that everreally suffered, and it was us--Sam, me, Nancy and Elwen [thecouple's youngest kids]--whogained more than I ever believedpossible from having and lovingsuch a wonderfully special andbeautiful boy." It is said that hisson ' s dea t h a l mos t madeCameron turn his back onpolit ics.Why he's not like us: The

journalist behind the SundayTimes' annual Rich List claimsDave and Sam's are worth over

S u r e l y t h i s c a n ' t h a v ehappened? After the media andlega l s t o r m s u r r o u n d i n gGizmodo's leak of the iPhone2010 prototype, how did anotherphone break free? It certainlyseems the real deal and we canglean a few extra details from it.As MacRumors reports, the

new images surfaced at aVie tnamese forum cal ledTaoViet.tn--and unsurprisinglyt h i s W e b s i t e i s n o we x p e r i e n c i n g p r o b l e m s ,probably due to the massivetraffic hit it's currently taking.So the original images and evencached backups may not becurrently accessible if you try tolook. But there's certainly a tonof them, showing the phonefrom all angles in people's handsand on a desk, including thed i s a s s e m b l e d b o d y a n duncovered chipsets. In otherwords, this is pretty muchconfirmed as the genuine article.How did it get out? We don't

know for sure--TaoViet.tnapparently relates the story thata Vietnamese businessmanbought it in the U.S. along withan iPad. This sounds extremelyunderhanded to us ... but whoknows? In this age of the

controlled leak, has Apple's veilof secrecy been permanently

perforated? What we can say isthat there's a handful of newfacts that we now know aboutthis year's iPhone revamp. Theoriginal Gizmodo find certainlyis a very late-run prototype--thismore finished version has but afew cosmetic differences.Thoseblack lines around the sides ofthe phone body are still there,and weren't a feature of theprototype nature of the first

leaked phone.The microSIMslot has been repositioned,probably as the internal chips

and motherboard were finalizedfrom prototype spec to finalspec.Unibody machining hasobviously been tweaked for theproduction models, and nowthere's no need for those "ugly"screws at the bottom of thephone nex t t o t he dock connector.It looks like thecamera at the front, and theimproved camera at the backhave made it through to the

production models ... unlikewhat happened to the iPodTouch's camera last year, which

was apparently removed at thelast minute.While Gizmodo'sphone had "XXGB" inscribedon its back, this new one has"16GB" on it. This is a newthing, since it's the same size asthe current entry-level iPhone3GS, and previously Apple hadbumped the entry level iPhone'sstorage every new edition. Thismight be for pr ice pointcoverage (and we may expect a

new 64GB version) or it mightbe a feature Apple changes rightat the last minute before next

month's launch.This new leakedphone runs, but only seems tohave some testbed softwaredubbed Bonfire aboard. Nobodylooks to have peeped at thescreen resolution, but Giz'sclaims of a higher-res screenmay be borne out.Fearing lessretribution than Gizmodo'sJason Chen did , TaoVietdisassembled the phone down tothe circuitry level, prizing off

the delicate metal EM shields.

9E-reader News EditionMorgan Stanley Agrees With Weisenthal, It's Time ToOverweight Euro StocksVincent Fernando, CFA(Business Insider)

Submitted at 5/12/2010 8:17:00 AM

Yesterday our colleague JoeWeisenthal explained why theEuropean bailout plan could bew ildly bullish for Europeanstocks . Morgan Stanley 'sEuropean St rategis t TeunDraaisma seems to agree.

The f i rm swi tched f romunderweight European equitiesto overweight in a May 10thEuropean strategy piece. They'rereally hoping to play this marketlike a fiddle, given they wentunderweight Euro equities onJanuary 25th, and caught MSCIEurope's 13% descent as of lastFriday.Morgan Stanley:We think we are in a cyclical

bull market for equities, becausewe are optimistic on earningsgrowth, driven by EM, US and

corporates. We are bearish onE u r o p e a n G D P g r o w t h ,especially in the periphery, butEuropean earnings are a play onglobal growth. We recognizethere is a risk that the cyclicalbull market has ended, if thesovereign crisis leads to adoub l e-d i p fo r European

earnings next year. This is notour current view, and our EGLI(earnings growth leadingindicator) is predicting 59%earnings growth for the next 12months, while MSCI Europenow trades on 10x 2011 IBESPE. Our target of 1280 implies20% upside and 13x PE, 10%below the long-term average of14.5x. We view this correctionas a buying opportunity.Sentiment and valuations point

to upside:

This correction could alreadybe over. While there is a chancet ha t t he marke t r emai nsskeptical and pushed the ECB tooutright QE, we think valuationis attractive, sentiment has fallenquite a bit, and we may nowhave seen the fundamentaltrigger.Valuations attractive. Good

value has now emerged, withthe market on 10x 2011 IBESPE, and our CVI below zero,suggesting an 85% chance of

rising markets the next 6months. Our combined markettiming indicator, too, is at zero,with similar odds of up marketsthe next 6 months.Some signs of capitulation.

Some sentiment surveys havefallen a lot in optimism, inparticular the MS Global RiskDemand Indicator and theCBOE put / call ratio. Othersentiment surveys have notshown a big fal l yet , inparticular the AAII survey at

+11.

And here it is, the sound-byte:As the saying goes whenauthorities start panicking, themarket can stop panicking.Authorities need to get ahead ofthe curve, in particular withrespect to Spain and the bankingsector. We will be monitoringthe authorities actions closely.Lower commodity prices, lowerUS and German bond yields, theEuropean authorities initiatives,and the 2 trillion Yen of moneymarket injection by the Bank ofJapan are incremental recentpositives.Basically, as Joe said yesterday,

"Don't fight the Fed, and don'tfight the ECB!" ...or a globalcoordination of major centralbanks for that matter. Soundslike both are on the same wavelength.(Via Morgan Stanley, EuropeanStrategy, Tuen Draaisma, 10May 2010)Join the conversation about thisstory

10 E-reader News EditionPhilips' New Green 12-Watt LED Bulbs CouldReplace 425 Million 60-Watt Energy HogsKit Eaton (Fast Company)

Submitted at 5/12/2010 9:07:14 AM

Philips has just unveiled whatit's calling the "world's firstLED replacement for [the] mostcommon household bulb,"t ak i ng a i m a t t he ag i ng ,inefficient 60W gizmo that'sbeen lighting our homes sinceforever. This is the future oflighting, people.

Philips lifted the veil--orperhaps, pulled back the shutter--on its new EnduraLED effort atthe Lightfair Internationaltradeshow, but it'll be a fewmonths until it's piling ontoshelves in consumer hardwarestores. In fact, it'll arrive right atthe end of this year in the U.S.,but that's still months ahead ofupcoming legis lat ion thatrequires more efficient lightingsystems.

We've been hearing about

supposedly magic LED lightsfor a while now, but Philips isnoting that the 12W Endura unitis a direct swap-in replacementfor the most common 60W bulbin use--over 425 million of

which are sold in the U.S. everyyear, making up some 50% ofthe bulb sales market. Thesebulbs, while cheap and reliable,have a limited lifespan and such

a horrendous inefficiency inturning electrical energy intouseful light that they're beingphased out for the sake ofeconomic and environmentalprotection all around the world.

They were temporarily replacedby a glut of compact fluorescentunits, as you'll know ... buttechnologically these units aren'tideal, and the light they deliver

is often un-dimmable, and veryartificial-looking to the humaneye.Hence the interest in LEDs.

Philips is noting it had to call inthe scientists to perfect the

"remote phosphor" technology

(the magic that makes theseunits glow in soft white colors)in the new white LEDs insidethe Endura bulbs, as well asworking to get the optical light-casting performance of the bulbsup to standard. The resultingunits are suitably high-techlooking, and each can "deliverup to 80% energy savings andlast 25 times longer than itscentury-old predecessor." Eachunit will cost much more thanits glass and filament 60Wincandescent ancestor, but alifespan of some 25,000 hours(three years permanently lit, orabout 10 years or so of "normal"u s e ) c o m b i n e d w i t h t h eelectricity savings you'll makewill compensate for the price.To keep up with this news

This TV Will Cost You $550,000 (BodyguardSold Separately)Austin Carr (Fast Company)Submitted at 5/12/2010 8:52:45 AM

Yesterday, at a corporategathering in New York City,Panasonic showed off theirlatest plasma 3-D television--thebiggest in the world, weighingi n a t 1 , 5 0 0 p o u n d s a n dmeasuring 152 inches, crushing

the last record the company heldof 103 inches. But why stop at

that monstrous size?According to Jim Noecker,

head of Panasonic's businessdevelopment for professionaldisplays, it's because this wasthe largest size that wouldn'trequire multiple glass panels tocover the screen. And with itsinsane resolution of 4k by 2k,the TV is the equivalent of nine

50-inch displays, says Noecker."If you lay it on its back, you

could probably see it fromspace," he joked.Hopefully that's worth the half-

a-million dollar price tag, as italso sets a record for being oneo f t h e m o s t e x p e n s i v ete lev is io n s in th e wo r ld ,walloping the $140,000 Yalosdiamond-encrusted 46" TV, buttrailing the $2.26 million Stuart

Hughes' PrestigeHD--which iscoated in 28 kilograms of 18k

rose gold , embossed withdiamonds, and hand-sewn withalligator skin (i.e., not exactly afair comparison).While the displays are largely

built- to-order, it 's unclearwhether or not the television'snever-absent bodyguard (seenbelow and above) is included inthe price.

( NW S),reported Q2 earnings after theb e l l o n T u e s d a y . A f t e rreviewing them, I think it's safeto say management did a good

job of delivering a solid quarter.But . . . what about the stock?That's the big question mark.

During yesterday's after-hourssession, the stock was down3.5%, or over a buck at onepoint. Obviously we'll have towait and see where the sharesend on Wednesday after the
