Ivor van Heerden's BP sub-contractor's plan for beach cleaning flawed?
~BP is again seeking permission to use a technique called “surf washing” to finish cleaning the sand at Grand Isle. The permit is pending through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and is similar to one BP withdrew in July from the agency.
In that (emergency) request, BP had asked to use “surf washing” — basically pushing oil-stained sand back into the surf for reworking — at East Grand Terre.
A request for comment from BP made with Deepwater Horizon Incident Joint Information Center was not returned by Friday afternoon. In a previous interview about the Grand Terre permit request, Edward Owens, principal with Polaris Applied Sciences Inc. of Bainbridge Island, Wash., and the shoreline response technical advisor for BP, said the technique has been used in many other places.

Hermine drenching Texas; Gaston's remains less organized ~Wunderblog
~MODIS satellite image of Hermine at 12:45pm EDT Monday September 6, 2010. Image credit: NASA.
Tropical Storm Hermine hit the Mexican coast 40 miles south of the Texas border at 9:30 pm EDT last night, with 60 mph sustained winds. Top winds observed in Texas from the storm were 50 mph with gusts to 59 mph at Port Isabel near the Mexican border, and winds at Brownsville hit 45 mph, gusting to 69 mph. Harlingen had the highest gust observed from Hermine, 72 mph, and local storm reports indicate that half of the city lost power and a roof caved in on an apartment complex, with no injuries.

Corps of Engineers is making plans to strengthen floodwalls and levees
~Sheila Grissett
~About 18 miles of floodwalls and levee line the three canals, and the corps' refusal to either completely replace them or re-engineer the canals so walls aren't needed for flood protection is a politically and emotionally charged topic in an area that could flood again if the buttressed walls and levees don't hold.
Forensic investigators estimate that 80 percent of the water that inundated metro New Orleans and the Old Metairie-Old Jefferson area of East Jefferson poured through the 17th Street and London Avenue floodwalls, which broke long before the storm surge from Lake Pontchartrain reached their tops.

Bobby's Berm Blows, Controversy Rises
~Gov. Bobby Jindal’s controversial project to build sand barriers in the Gulf of Mexico to block oil from invading Louisiana’s marshes is reaching a critical juncture. As Jindal attempts to get permits to expand the project — plus more funding to transform the sandy sections, called berms, into longer-term barrier islands — the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is collecting comments from environmentalists and federal agencies. Many of them questioned the idea when it was first proposed and continue to challenge the project even as it is well under way.

Treme Soundtrack Date and Tracklist~Last week, on the 5th anniversary of Katrina, artists associated with the Treme soundtrack including John Boutte, Irma Thomas, Kermit Ruffins, James Andrews, Paul Sanchez, Rebirth Brass Band and Mardi Gras Indians took to the House of Blues stage in New Orleans to participate in "A Night of Treme" fundraiser on behalf of Make It Right. The evening, sponsored by HBO, Geffen Records and House of Blues, was in support Make It Right's program of building safe, sustainable and affordable homes for families in New Orleans' Lower 9th Ward who lost everything in the Flood of 8/29/05. Now comes official word that the soundtrack's (digital) release date is 9/28 and as well as the (19 tracks!) tune stack for the album. The HBO series is riveting and the soundtrack album will, certainly, be as well.

Mitch Landrieu blasts GOP/Tea Bag Senate candidate in Nevada for past Katrina remarks
~Editilla Beautellas~ Mitch'mo don'play who'dats for nothing. He stands up next to a mountain of partisan tea'doo, and chops it down wit'da edge of his hand. Able to leap faux rhetoric like a Catahoula hound, he carries this City on his brow like a boxer at a cock fight or a thoroughbred at the starting gate. OK OK BS Alert!
Some may think Mitch'mo is just counting match sticks here for Sister Mary, batting rotted low-hanging fruit, passing an easy buck that serves no purpose for the future Louisiana. I ho'so humbly disagree. He is taking this haint at her word, and her word is screw Louisiana. She, with her filthy band of syllodomite baggers, has always been about screwing Louisiana out of Oil Revenue, Flood Recovery Recompense, Wetlands Funding and especially BP Oil Crime Liability.
Y'know, we should have taken the National Socialists at their word the last time they tried this shit, in Europe circa 1930s. We should have stood up to them then sooner than later. But we did not. Considering the toiletfulls of neo'coward, Machiavelli-wannabe, Limbaudian McRhetorical Handmaiden's Tail we constantly hear flushing from that side of the tracks, I have trouble seeing how Mitch'mo is taking a "cheap shot" at these crazy fools. It is impossible to out-cheapen a Tea Bagger Wallshirt. Perchance some bloggers might think that he cheapens himself and us by engaging these bat'wing idiots. But consider this: if even one of these clown'fakirs gets into office, they will consistently strike at our state with every vote. Goodbye equitable Oil Revenue Sharing. Goodbye Levees, Right Recompense and Wetlands Restoration Funding. Hello Boss.

Cedar Rapids still needs help recovering~This week, as the nation marked the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, some people in Cedar Rapids wondered whether their plight from the 2008 flood has been overlooked.
~Editilla Egg'suckas~Well DUH YEAUH??? I just don't understand how you clueless Iowans could locate a city in a frigging flood plain and depend on the Corps of Engineers to protect you. How farking stupid is that eh? Well?
Many of you Iowans were so White and Proud of the way you "Recovered" from the Corps Flooding of 2008, comparing it to our Federal Flood, and some even had the unmitigated Midwestern Gall to piss on the graves of those lost to the Corps of Engineers' failures in New Orleans 8/29/05. Time for you to Suck Crow.
Iowa is the 2nd most Federally Subsidized state in the nation for agriculture, which means Pigs, Eggs, Corn. Aside from enriching the Big Medicine/Pharma Heart Disease Industry and derailing our nation's real ability to respond to the real alternative energy sources, WTF is your state good for? What are youz guyz about? Synchonized Water Skiing? Come on! Who's the Welfare Muthafkr now?
The Corps built the complete system to move your 3 products through Cedar Rapids and down the MS River. The Corps structures of course broke.
So yeah, you folks are going to drop off the radar and down the drain because you have proven that you would rather have a government subsidy, turn a blind eye to those citizens polluted down stream and hand your asses over to Big Agribusiness and the Corps of Engineers. The Corps just wants you citizens of Iowa to go away.
Die. Move. WTF ever. You are American Citizens and Do Not Matter.
Well, the Corps and their Stakeholders know you are all Subsidy Punks who will bend over and take it. You will whine. You will cry. But you will never stand up to the people who devastated your property the way of we in New Orleans. You will never understand the engineering failures which flooded your homes the way that we continue to confront in New Orleans. So suck it up and wake up. Grow a pair, find the Stakeholders and flay them with a boning knife. Take care of yourselves.

Mitch Landrieu blasts GOP/Tea Bag Senate candidate in Nevada for past Katrina remarks
~Editilla Beautellas~ Mitch'mo don'play who'dats for nothing. He stands up next to a mountain of partisan tea'doo, and chops it down wit'da edge of his hand. Able to leap faux rhetoric like a Catahoula hound, he carries this City on his brow like a boxer at a cock fight or a thoroughbred at the starting gate. OK OK BS Alert!
Some may think Mitch'mo is just counting match sticks here for Sister Mary, batting rotted low-hanging fruit, passing an easy buck that serves no purpose for the future Louisiana. I ho'so humbly disagree. He is taking this haint at her word, and her word is screw Louisiana. She, with her filthy band of syllodomite baggers, has always been about screwing Louisiana out of Oil Revenue, Flood Recovery Recompense, Wetlands Funding and especially BP Oil Crime Liability.
Y'know, we should have taken the National Socialists at their word the last time they tried this shit, in Europe circa 1930s. We should have stood up to them then sooner than later. But we did not. Considering the toiletfulls of neo'coward, Machiavelli-wannabe, Limbaudian McRhetorical Handmaiden's Tail we constantly hear flushing from that side of the tracks, I have trouble seeing how Mitch'mo is taking a "cheap shot" at these crazy fools. It is impossible to out-cheapen a Tea Bagger Wallshirt. Perchance some bloggers might think that he cheapens himself and us by engaging these bat'wing idiots. But consider this: if even one of these clown'fakirs gets into office, they will consistently strike at our state with every vote. Goodbye equitable Oil Revenue Sharing. Goodbye Levees, Right Recompense and Wetlands Restoration Funding. Hello Boss.

Cedar Rapids still needs help recovering~This week, as the nation marked the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, some people in Cedar Rapids wondered whether their plight from the 2008 flood has been overlooked.
~Editilla Egg'suckas~Well DUH YEAUH??? I just don't understand how you clueless Iowans could locate a city in a frigging flood plain and depend on the Corps of Engineers to protect you. How farking stupid is that eh? Well?
Many of you Iowans were so White and Proud of the way you "Recovered" from the Corps Flooding of 2008, comparing it to our Federal Flood, and some even had the unmitigated Midwestern Gall to piss on the graves of those lost to the Corps of Engineers' failures in New Orleans 8/29/05. Time for you to Suck Crow.
Iowa is the 2nd most Federally Subsidized state in the nation for agriculture, which means Pigs, Eggs, Corn. Aside from enriching the Big Medicine/Pharma Heart Disease Industry and derailing our nation's real ability to respond to the real alternative energy sources, WTF is your state good for? What are youz guyz about? Synchonized Water Skiing? Come on! Who's the Welfare Muthafkr now?
The Corps built the complete system to move your 3 products through Cedar Rapids and down the MS River. The Corps structures of course broke.
So yeah, you folks are going to drop off the radar and down the drain because you have proven that you would rather have a government subsidy, turn a blind eye to those citizens polluted down stream and hand your asses over to Big Agribusiness and the Corps of Engineers. The Corps just wants you citizens of Iowa to go away.
Die. Move. WTF ever. You are American Citizens and Do Not Matter.
Well, the Corps and their Stakeholders know you are all Subsidy Punks who will bend over and take it. You will whine. You will cry. But you will never stand up to the people who devastated your property the way of we in New Orleans. You will never understand the engineering failures which flooded your homes the way that we continue to confront in New Orleans. So suck it up and wake up.
