NOAA: Deepwater Horizon Incident, Gulf of Mexico

NOAA:
Today the Deepwater Horizon incident declared a Spill of National Significance (SONS). A SONS is defined as, "a spill that, due to its severity, size, location, actual or potential impact on the public health and welfare or the environment, or the necessary response effort, is so complex that it requires extraordinary coordination of federal, state, local, and responsible party resources to contain and clean up the discharge" and allows greater federal involvement. Estimates of the release rate increased to 5000 barrels (210,000 gallons) per day based on surface observations and reports of a newly discovered leak in the damaged piping on the sea floor. more...

The New York Times: As Greek Drama Plays Out, Where Is Europe?

By STEVEN ERLANGER
Published: April 29, 2010

WASHINGTON — With new European Union leaders practically invisible and some national leaders acting largely for domestic political reasons, the burden of shaping a rapid and credible restructuring program for Greece has fallen primarily to the International Monetary Fund — exactly where proud European Union leaders had insisted it should not be. more...

New York Times: Greek Debt Rating Cut to 'Junk' Status

FRANKFURT — Greece’s credit rating was lowered to junk status Tuesday by a leading credit agency, a decision that rocked financial markets and deepened fears that a debt crisis in Europe could spiral out of control.
The ratings agency, Standard & Poor’s, downgraded Greece’s long-term and short-term debt to non-investment status and cautioned that investors who bought Greek bonds faced dwindling odds of getting their money back if Greece defaulted or went through a debt restructuring. The move came shortly after S.&P. reduced Portugal’s credit rating and warned that more downgrades were possible. more...

Times Online: "Don’t talk to aliens " warns Stephen Hawking

by Jonathan Leake 

The aliens are out there and Earth had better watch out, at least according to Stephen Hawking. He has suggested that extraterrestrials are almost certain to exist — but that instead of seeking them out, humanity should be doing all it that can to avoid any contact.
The suggestions come in a new documentary series in which Hawking, one of the world’s leading scientists, will set out his latest thinking on some of the universe’s greatest mysteries.
Alien life, he will suggest, is almost certain to exist in many other parts of the universe: not just in planets, but perhaps in the centre of stars or even floating in interplanetary space. [more...]

National Public Radio: Interview mit Eric Moody, Chefpilot einer B 747, die am 24.Juni 1982 auf dem Flug B 009 von Kuala Lumpur nach Perth, nahe der Küste Indonesiens in eine Vulkan-Aschewolke kam

Transcript bei NPR :

As the volcano in Iceland continues to spew ash, flights are grounded across large areas of Europe. And if you wonder why such caution is needed, you can ask retired British Airways Captain Eric Moody. In 1982, Captain Moody was flying near Jakarta, Indonesia when volcanic ash caused all four engines on his Boeing 747 to fail. But Captain Moody landed his airplane. He joins us now from Camberley, England.
Captain Moody, thanks for being with us.
Mr. ERIC MOODY (Retired British Airways Pilot): It's a pleasure.
SIMON: So your plane's going down. Oxygen bags are deployed. What do you do?
Mr. MOODY: Gosh, we'd been trying  more...

Pressemeldung: Vereinigung Cockpit :Ohne Messergebnisse keine Flüge! Safety Information by ALPA - Airline Pilots Association International

Die Vereinigung Cockpit (VC) sieht die von der Deutschen Flugsicherung (DFS) veranlasste Luftraumsperrung bis zur endgültigen Klärung des Verbleibs der Vulkanasche in der Atmosphäre weiterhin als gerechtfertigt an. Der Pilotenverband stellt klar, dass internationale Regeln keinen Zweifel daran lassen, dass der Luftraum in kontaminierter Umgebung geschlossen bleiben muss.
Um die Computersimulationen der Ascheausbreitung zu überprüfen, sind aus Sicht der VC die Messflüge des Deutschen Zentrums für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) das richtige Instrument. Bis zur Auswertung der dort gewonnenen Parameter sollten die Lufträume für den Flugverkehr gesperrt bleiben. Für die Sicherheit in der aktuellen Situation ist es indes unerheblich, ob ein Flugzeug nach Sicht- oder Instrumentenflugverfahren betrieben wird. „Entweder der Luftraum ist sicher oder er ist es nicht“, so die VC.

Hintergrund:
Was ist das Instrumentenflugverfahren (IFR-Flüge)? Die Lage des Flugzeugs im Raum (Höhe, Flugrichtung, Geschwindigkeit) wird rein nach flugzeugeigenen Instrumenten gesteuert. Der Flug kann auch ohne Sicht nach außen durchgeführt werden. Dieses Verfahren ist das Standardverfahren und wird nahezu bei allen Passagier- und Frachtflügen angewandt.
Was ist das Sichtflugverfahren (VFR-Flüge)? Sichtflugverfahren wird in der privat- und Sportfliegerei angewandt. Das Flugzeug wird nach Sicht nach außen zum Ziel gesteuert.

Volcanic Ash and Aviation Safety

The ever-growing reliability of the turbojet engines of air transport aircraft today allows twin engine extended range operations globally on routes where previously only three- and four-engine aircraft could travel. Threatening that reliability, however, is a hazard capable of silencing these engines under the worst of conditions—volcanic ash.

There are 1,500 known volcanoes around the world, and 600 of them are currently listed as active. Collectively there are 55 to 60 volcanic eruptions annually, and monitoring records tell us that some of these explosive eruptions are propelling volcanic ash to the thirty- and forty-thousand foot flight levels traveled by the airlines. Commercial aircraft encountering ash spread by such eruptions have experienced multiple engine flameouts.

ALPA Safety, through its Volcanic Ash project under the Air Traffic Services Group, has devoted several years to expanding the database of operationally relevant information on this potential hazard and improving the warning system necessary to reduce unplanned encounters of hazardous ash clouds.

The information under this Banner may be useful toward understanding the hazard; understanding recommended practices for avoidance, if possible; achieving survival in the event of an unexpected encounter; and finally, reporting the experience.

A recommended starting point is the video, “Volcanic Ash: An Aviation Hazard of Explosive Proportio."

Telegraph UK: Richard Dawkins planning to have Pope Benedict arrested over 'crimes against humanity'

Richard Dawkins, the atheist campaigner and evolutionist, is planning to have Pope Benedict XVI arrested when he comes to Britain later this year for "crimes against humanity".

Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, the atheist author, are seeking advice from human rights lawyers as to what legal action can be taken against the pope over his alleged cover-up of sexual abuse in the Catholic church.
It emerged this weekend that in 1985 when he was in charge of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which deals with sex abuse cases, the pope signed a letter arguing that the “good of the universal church” should be considered against the defrocking of an American priest who committed sex offences against two boys.  more...

NASA: Solar Cycle Prediction - Sonnen Zyklus Vorhersage

A solar flare observed in Dec. 2006 by NOAA's GOES-13 satellite

May 29, 2009: An international panel of experts led by NOAA and sponsored by NASA has released a new prediction for the next solar cycle. Solar Cycle 24 will peak, they say, in May 2013 with a below-average number of sunspots.

"If our prediction is correct, Solar Cycle 24 will have a peak sunspot number of 90, the lowest of any cycle since 1928 when Solar Cycle 16 peaked at 78," says panel chairman Doug Biesecker of the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center.

 "Even a below-average cycle is capable of producing severe space weather," points out Biesecker. "The great geomagnetic storm of 1859, for instance, occurred during a solar cycle of about the same size we’re predicting for 2013."  more...

Erste Sitzung der frei gewählten Volkskammer der DDR im Jahre 1990 - The freely elected People's Chamber of the DDR in the year 1990

Erste Sitzung der frei gewählten Volkskammer

Die erste und zugleich einzige frei gewählte Volkskammer der DDR konstituiert sich am 5. April 1990 im Palast der Republik. Der 10. Volkskammer gehören - einschließlich der Nachrücker - 409 Abgeordnete an. Nur drei Prozent der Abgeordneten sind auch schon Mitglieder der 9. Volkskammer gewesen. Zu ihrer Präsidentin wählen die Abgeordneten im zweiten Wahlgang die CDU-Abgeordnete Sabine Bergmann-Pohl.

The free elections to the People’s Chamber (Volkskammer) of the German Democratic Republic on 18 March 1990 completely transformed the character of that Parliament. Under the dictatorship of the Socialist Unity Party (SED), the People’s Chamber had been a sham parliament which, with one single exception, had always rubber-stamped the decisions of the state and party leaders until the peaceful revolution in the autumn of 1989. Now it transformed itself into a democratic parliament, whose members tackled a massive workload to carve out the path to the unification of Germ
