"NOAA's mission is to understand and predict changes in the Earth's environment, from the depths of the ocean to the surface of the sun, and to conserve and manage our coastal and marine resources. "

- ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - NOAA has extended the closed fishing area in the Gulf of Mexico to match the Louisiana state waters closure west of the current boundaries, and to incorporate an area reportedly with oil in the southwest. Closing fishing in these areas is a precautionary measure to ensure that seafood from the Gulf will remain safe for consumers.
- The closed area now represents 54,096 square miles, which is slightly more than 22 percent of Gulf of Mexico federal waters.
- Costner, the "Waterworld" and "Field of Dreams" actor, has invested more than $24 million in developing the centrifuge invention, along with business partner John Houghtaling II of New Orleans.
- On Tuesday, Houghtaling said BP has agreed to test the devices, which can be dropped into the oil spill and separate water from oil, storing the petroleum in tanks. The smallest weighs 150 pounds (68 kilograms); the largest 4,500 pounds (2,040 kilograms).
- "It's like a big vacuum cleaner
," Houghtaling said. "These machines are ready to be employed. The technology is familiar to the industry."

- Transocean also said its board had decided to establish an annual dividend in francs worth about $1 billion, or $3.11 per share, to be paid quarterly. Apart from a special dividend in 2007, the company last made a regular payout in 2002.
- "...The past year will have done little to change that. First, Transocean moved its headquarters from Houston to the foot of the Swiss Alps in early 2009, in a move mainly aimed at saving on taxes. Then came a top management reshuffle and retirement of its eminent, but media-shy chief executive, Bob Long...."
- Long spent 34 years working for Transocean or predecessor companies, and as a Naval Academy graduate, shared the U.S. military pedigree of Chairman Bob Rose, an Air Force veteran...."
-
- "...The bench is certainly facing a stress-test, because Newman's move to the helm topped off a busy year of nameplate switching in Transocean's management suites.
- Chief Financial Officer Greg Cauthen opted to retire in April for "personal reasons" at age 51 as his colleagues moved to Switzerland. He was succeeded by an Oxford-educated senior vice president, Ricardo Rosa, who was already based in Europe.
- Then came the December announcement that Rob Saltiel would jump ship to run Atwood Oceanics Inc -- only three weeks after being named as the replacement for Newman as COO.
- That all followed the abrupt 2008 retirement of another COO, Jon Marshall, who was also in line to be boss, indicating that the 45-year-old Newman has a proven ability to survive boardroom politics.
- After his Senate appearance, Newman faces his first annual general meeting of shareholders as CEO on Friday.."
-
- "..The Horizon is now a wreck on the seabed, following an explosion three weeks ago that killed 11 people, including nine Transocean employees, and precipitated a massive leak from another well it was drilling for BP...."
-
- Simply put, rig owners view too much attention as bad for business, and Transocean, the Switzerland-based industry leader with a history of ex-military managers, is no exception.
