Looks like they removed a pretty good sized piece and set it in that basket.  Can you tell I'm finding this very interesting    I just hope they can stop the oil, or most of it, from flowing into the gulf ASAP.

Many of you may remember hearing about this in the news a while back.  This video brought tears to my eyes.

http://www.blindness.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2128:new-hope-for-gene-therapya-young-boys-fight-against-blindness&catid=73:videos&Itemid=143

New Hope for Gene Therapy...A Young Boy's Fight Against Blindness

The following video premiered at the 2010 BIO International Convention during the keynote address of BIO Chairman Dr. Stephen Sherwin.  The video features young Corey Haas, a 9-year old boy with Leber congenital amaurosis whose sight has been restored by gene therapy, along our own Chief Research Officer Dr. Steve Rose and FFB-funded researcher Dr. Jean Bennett. Dr. Sherwin lauded gene therapy as a terrific success in biotechnology and medicine and just one example of how patience, persistence, and passionate support can pay off.

Australian Zoo Uses Facebook to Find Monkeys

An Australian zoo has posted an urgent plea on its Facebook page for help in returning eight stolen endangered monkeys, so small they could fit in a handbag or the palm of your hand.
fox news

SYDNEY  -- An Australian zoo has posted an urgent plea on its Facebook page for help in returning eight stolen endangered monkeys, so small they could fit in a handbag or the palm of your hand.

Symbio Wildlife Park, south of Sydney, said thieves broke into the park on Sunday night and stole a breeding pair of Cotton top Tamarins, their two babies, and four Pygmy marmosets.

"These animals are part of international breeding programmes and are crucial to the survival of the species, there are only 300 Cotton top Tamarins left in the wild, so time is running out," said the zoo's Facebook message.

"These animals need specialized housing and diet to survive, if they are not returned home safely, they may not survive, the whole team at Symbio are extremely worried," it said.

"If you have any information, or know someone who can, please email or call the park, everything will be treated anonymously, all we want is the animals home safe."

The zoo published photographs of the tiny monkeys.

Park director John Radnidge said the thieves cut power to the zoo and cut through three padlocks to gain access to the monkeys.

"On a cold, wet, windy, miserable, rainy night they cut the power to the exhibit, it was very clear these people knew exactly what they were doing. They had probably cased the joint before the attack," Radnidge told local media on Tuesday.

Radnidge said there was no black market in Australia or Asia for the monkeys, unlike Australia's native birds and lizards.

"Cotton-tops and pygmy marmosets are so rare and unusual, those who have them in their possession will be found, I'm sure of that," he said.

O/T - if you aren't watching the ROV footage, now would be a good time.  They are getting ready to make the large smooth cut.  I have been following for 3 days now and they have pretty much been working 24 hours a day on this.  Let's pray it works.

What they are doing is holding the pipe up and getting read to cut the large main section of the pipe clean across.  This ROV is a cutting ROV and it has a diamond saw blade that will cut through the metal.  They used smaller circular saw ROV's to cut the smaller sections of pipe away.  It's been amazing to watch.

Thanks for the links! I assume a "clean cut" will make it easier to cap?

Yes, they explained it this way.  If it's a clean cut then they can actually cap it with like a real cap with a rubber like gasket and will capture most all the oil.  If the cut isn't so clean, then they will use like a HAT type thing that will capture less.

I have been watching off and on for 3 days now and they have cut off several scraggly pieces already.  Now they are going for the big part.  Once this is done then they try and cap.

I think we can all agree we want this to happen.  Even though it's not the total fix we need to stop the flow of oil into the gulf.

How long will the procedure take to complete?

My guess based upon what they have said so far is that they will get it cut within the next 12 hours or so and some time tomorrow attempt to cap.  I believe they were hoping to attempt the cap on Wednesday so it would appear they are on schedule.

I am amazed at what they can do with the ROV's

Once they cut through the pipe, then they will have to maneuver the cut off piece away from everything.  Already the other stuff is sitting on the bottom waiting to be used (the cap and stuff).  Everything takes time and seems when they are moving pieces that it's in slow motion, LOL.
