Possibly.

Transocean Ltd, the company which owned the offshore rig known as Deepwater Horizon, which exploded in April and caused what has become the worst oil spill in U.S. history, allegedly is trying to hide behind an obscure, century-and-a-half old law to avoid paying damages.
Meanwhile, President Obama last week specifically called out BP, the energy giant that leased Deepwater Horizon, for trying to stiff a shrimp processing plant in Louisiana — even though BP promised Congress that it would pay all legitimate claims.
The federal government has identified Transocean and BP as the responsible party for the monster spill, which is destroying fisheries and wildlife, causing other environmental damage, and threatening economic devastation along a wide swath off the Gulf Coast.
By law, the two companies must pay all of the costs of the spill cleanup, no matter what the total ends up being. The Obama administration last week announced that it had presented BP and “other responsible parties” with a bill for more than $69 million just to reimburse the federal government for its spill response so far.....
and pushes it towards puerto rico...
And we are desperate for something, ANYTHING, to watch lest the blog slides back into more political debates...
Im pretty sure all that means is that BP is going to pay on behalf of transocean, because of their contract agreement.

Gives us one in the Atlantic & EPAC.
Thats semi-unreasonable, give the TUTT and shear accompanying it.
StormW have you seen the EPAC storm developed by CMC and GFS yet.
cmon bro... BP was/is running the show. We Americans hate Halliburton with a passion, and it is they that botched the cement job.. again, BUT, all fingers point at the corporate decision to continue with BP. When the clues started showing up that there were problems it was BP that said "carry on" It is interesting that somehow nearly 7 hours of data mysteriously "disappeared" when this went down. BP wanted Deepwater Horizon off the site so they could move a production rig onto the well and start making money. Ultimately, BP was running the show, so they are the flagship of responsibility and blame by the public, but I seriously doubt that the "name" of the company, or it's country of origin has much to do with the anger... just my opinion.

invest soon ? interesting

(NASA/ Tom Tschida) A planeload of scientists and specialized instruments aboard NASA's DC-8 flying laboratory is scheduled to depart NASA’s Dryden Aircraft Operations Facility at Palmdale, Calif., for Australia Tuesday evening, June 8, to catch a glimpse of the fiery return of a Japanese spacecraft to Earth on June 13.
The group of astronomers from NASA, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and other institutions are flying to Melbourne, Australia to make final preparations for the highly anticipated return of JAXA's Hayabusa spacecraft, which may bring back to Earth a sample of the near-Earth asteroid Itokawa. Hayabusa is expected to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere and land in the Woomera Test Range in southern Australia late Sunday night, June 13.
The team of 27 astronomers will have their instruments focused out the DC-8's specialized windows as it cruises at an altitude of 39,000 feet, far above light pollution and clouds. Using their suite of spectroscopic and radiometric imaging instruments, they hope to get a clear reading on what happens during the fiery re-entry process when the spacecraft descends like an artificial meteor at more than 27,000 mph.
At the same time, ground-based observation teams will attempt to reconstruct the as-flown trajectory to correlate with the airborne imaging data.

(NASA / Tom Tschida) Following its launch in 2003, Hayabusa arrived at Itokawa in September 2005 and observing the asteroid's shape, terrain, mineral composition, gravity and other aspects over the next 2 ½ months. Hayabusa briefly touched down on Itokawa's surface that November to sample surface material.
NASA’s primary goal during the airborne mission is to study the re-entry of Hayabusa's 40-pound sample return capsule to enable heat shield designers and engineers gain technological insight for the development of NASA's future exploration vehicles.
Astronomers made similar airborne studies from NASA's DC-8 flying laboratory for the September 2008 re-entry of the European Space Agency's Automated Transfer Vehicle "Jules Verne," as well as the January 2006 Stardust sample return re-entry over Utah. During those missions, scientists studied the levels of radiation, light and out-gassing of the descending spacecraft, to better understand meteor and heat shield radiation mechanisms.
NASA's Science Mission Directorate is supporting the airborne observation of the Hayabusa SRC re-entry via the In-Space Propulsion Technology Project.
Again, please stop linking to this horrible blog post. This was out at the beginning of may. Trying to associate it with 'companies already trying to get out of it!!!' in june is silly.
3 possible if the two EPACs also happen.
Drak, check GFS 850mb vorticity.

Thats pretty unreasonable.
Especially for a La Nina.
Your mistaken. El Nino has been dead for a while.
Uh, no?
We do not want BP to go under.
Talk about adding fuel to a disaster and a recession.
Your really rendering the ignore feature useless.

all develope this wave so maybe by this time tomorow we could be talking about 92l or sooner correct looks like it from here stay tuned
Your opinion doesn't matter when evidence points to the contrary, I'm sorry to say.
Well, I'm ignoring him now.
