This is pasted from a link that was previously made available to the board. Reading over this, I found it very ironic that BP (a company from England) is being allowed to use a product THAT WAS BANNED by the English Government and, BP has a vested interest in the company(s) that make this toxic dispersant. Article states that the EPA (an entity of the United States Government) gave BP 72 hours to change the oil dispersant chemicals to something less toxic and more effective. BP offers a sharp reply to the EPA about this then "it appears that somebody with clout stepped in for BP?????? Is it not time, actually beyond the time, for the government "for the people and by the people" to step in for the people?
What Mainstream Media is Not Telling You about the Gulf Oil Cleanup
Saturday, July 03, 2010 by: Paul Fassa, citizen journalist
(NaturalNews) What surface oil dispersant for oil spills is so toxic and ineffective it has been banned in England for a decade? The one that British Petroleum (BP) is using now in the Gulf of Mexico. It's loaded with 2-butoxyethanol, which kills marine and wetland wild life while causing serious lung problems to humans!
It is more toxic than the oil it purports to clean, and it simply sends the newly formed toxic globules of dispersant and oil further into the depths where it forms underwater plumes. It's like pouring paint thinner on spilled paint and letting it drip out onto the lawn and garden, except the underwater plumes of thinned oil and toxic dispersant spread onto the shore lines, wetlands and coral reefs and into the Atlantic via the Gulf Stream and beyond.
Yet there are many less toxic, even 100% green, oil spill solutions available that are more effective.
EPA and BP
It was initially reported that the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) had given BP 72 hours to change the current oil dispersant chemicals to something less toxic and more effective. After a sharp reply from BP, the EPA seems to have back pedaled claiming they only want BP to use less of it. It appears somebody with clout stepped in for BP!
BP is involved with a few other large international corporations. Among them is the company that makes the toxic oil dispersant banned in England containing 2-butoxyethanol, which kills what is supposedly being protected! Richard Charter, advisor for Defenders of Wildlife, says this about the chemical dispersant being used in the Gulf: "It's a chemical that the oil industry makes to sell to itself, basically."
So in addition to siphoning some of the oil pouring from the ocean floor into tankers, oil that can be separated from the water and sold later, BP execs are enjoying financially incestuous gains. (source below)
Ignored Solutions
Two Florida farmers gave a video presentation (YouTube source below) of how safe and effective hay is for grabbing up oil and being hauled away. Hay was used successfully for the Santa Barbara offshore rig oil spill of 1969. (Rense source below) And the health damage to workers and wild life was minimal. This could have given several farmers and others much needed income.
An even more effective oil spill solvent is composed of oil eating microbes, gathered from all over the world, reproduced rapidly, and then formed into powders that can be used directly or mixed with water for hosing the oil spills. The by-products of the oil eating microbes turn into edible foods for marine life. And when the microbes consume all the oil, they die off because there is nothing left to eat. (YouTube source below)
This was proven in a 1986 contained pool with marine life test by Texas Land Office Commissioner Garry Mauro and Water Commissioner Buck Wynne. The tests were so impressive that the oil eating microbes were allowed to be used successfully for millions of gallons of oil from a burning tanker off the Texas shore, and again when a barge leaked massive amounts of oil into the Texas wetlands.
In each situation, the oil was consumed rapidly and marine and wetland wild life thrived!
Why?
There are and have been other clean-up solutions offered, some a little over the top and others that have been used successfully throughout the world. Motives for BP's refusing to consider these solutions and why the U.S. Government does nothing to intervene is full of dots to connect for anyone willing to peek closely behind the curtain.

You should learn how to read a chart. Any dip to the penny mark is quickly scooped up by savvy investors here. Strong support at this level. Stair step pattern .... so she is ready for the next leg up.
I see you give similar messages to other stocks.
Please save investment advise for your family ...
U.S. Microbics needs contracts for their technology and products. This is not going to happen the way things go right now. BP, a British Company caused the problem in the gulf, partly OUR GULF, this area does not sit in England, it sits right here on the shores of the United States, our land, our wildlife and our beaches..........Then why is our government allowing BP (remember, they caused this problem) to dictate how and who cleans this mess up? BP should pay for it all, being they caused it, but it should be done the way that the people of America want it done and not how a British Company wants to do it. IMO the best available ways SHOULD be used, the way that is the least harmful to OUR enviroment, land and wildlife. Does bugs fit that category? I believe, YES it does. Big business (British Petrolium) should not be allowed to benefit financially from cleaning up the mess THEY CREATED.........The message of bugs needs to be spread to our politicians and news media. Any exposure we can create will not only benefit us here but, will also benefit our shore lines and wildlife. If the technology and products exist, they need to be used without any political red tape garbage...............
.0080 next level. Should hit it by tomorrow or end of week. Hope you guys still aren't in this play. Juice is over. Don't treat pennies as investments.
What? We're you trying to repond to someone elses post?
BUGS is a longterm play.
Nothing happens overnight.
Gulf and eventual Inland Cleanup will go on for multiple years/decades.
Cheers
thanks Vegas...very clear and informative!
BUGS has not come this far for nothing. A PR will be coming.
Well if something like that were to occur-
Cash Buyout puts a nice stash of cash for your shares in your brokerage account and hopefully for more than BUGS is currently trading for.
A share swap puts shares of another entity into your brokerage account in exchange for your BUGS shares, with a hopeful premium paid for what BUGS was trading for.
Depending on what BUGS really has,,, I would anticipate a huge premium to current prices,,,, but THIS IS NOTHING MORE THAN SPECULATION. However I rest on my and many of your predictions that BUGS is sitting in the catbird seat for helping to clean up the Gulf and other future spills.
Cheers
what happens to us shareholders if there is a takeover?
I honestly think that BUGS is a takeover play at this point. I strongly believe with its experience, technology, and patents BUGS won't be on the market for much longer. It's sitting in exactly the right area for the next 10-20 years.
Bigger fish will swallow this company up quickly, but will the price be right?
Cheers

do you really think that Bob reacts on this email?well,hope so!
Still waiting for news resp. PR. It really has to come up,cause otherwise people will turn away from this prosperous stock and co.
what do you think about that?
bob@bugsatwork.net glta
Thank you, here is what I sent Bob:
Hello Bob,
I am an investor in BUGS for the past several months. I was trying to leave an email to you but could not see how to at bugsatwork.net. I also tried to leave comments, but it said you had to be logged on and I didn't see a way to log on anywhere on the website. Someone on Ihub gave me this email address. It would be good if you have some sort of Contact page on your website.
Many times having a great product is useless unless you can get the word out about your products. I was looking at Youtube since many company's are using this avenue to demonstrate their bioremediation products and it is useful for investors to forward these links to major news sites. But it appears your videos are quite dated. The one main video I saw was from 2006 and it had your website as bugsatwork.com instead of .net I believe having several demos of your product on youtube would help get the word out. Are there any plans in getting these videos out? I would email these to the major news outlets.
I noticed recently that CNN and FOXNEWS had prominent pieces on bugs technology but they were about other companies such as Osprey for possible use in the gulf but they used fertilizer which can create algae blooms in the ocean. Having concrete videos showing what BUGS can do and why you are better would help get the word out. I saw Pacific Sands demo on the mayor, that is what BUGS needs to help get the word out.
new here.but it's really interesting and exciting reading all comments.myself investing for almost 3 years.yet no selling.yet waiting for at least .10 to come!

bob@greenbizness.com
or
mail@greenbizness.com
Do you have an email address for him? Bugsatwork.net does not and you cannot leave comments, it says you have to be logged on and there is no way to log on that I can see.
Daytraders seem to be out and on to other scam plays now.. So.. we should go up quietly from here.
Seams like we are sitting on a money volcano..... pressure is building...;)
email Brehm and tell him so! encourage him to be more vocal, more public about both the technology and BUGS, which has a history with bioremediation, they aren't just new comers to the "green" marketplace.
News will come when it comes...Paytience...
Yea nice article.
Gulf Oil Spill May Breed Opportunity for Biotech Startup's Oil-Hungry Bugs
Startup is about right. Now just find me one that isn't diluting like mad to pull the buisness off, and we all have a winner.
I hope you are all right, but BUGS needs some meat to happen soon. Not some fluff pieces on IHUB, a paid for stock radio piece, and rumors about Obama seeing the product. They need a confirmed story somewhere that their product will be used in the Gulf soon or some major story on their company. If you lookup youtube, there is scant evidence of any recent stories on them. I have been in this one for several months, I am still long. But I want to see some concrete news soon.
u are right ... something is cookin ...
Any publicity on the technology, which BUGS is a part of that tech., is good for the company...
NY Times publicity make it even better...
BUGS has the technology!!! They have gotten a video of their technology and most likely a list of their products to President Obama. Which is a major feat. Not very many companies get their technology directly to the President. That is HUGE!!!
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/stockgoodie...

There has been lots of talk about BUGS getting bought out which is definitly possible considering its size. I heard someone say 1.25 but couldn't disclose anything. That could be far fetched we'll find out it might not be. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
There are lots of people getting their technology on T.V. and promoted but not alot of people get their technology in the hands of the President himself. In fact BUGS might be the only company to do that.
BUGS O/S is just under 500 milllion and no dillution has gone on since this spill began.
If there's a stock at this level thats ready to fly. Ironicly it would be BUGS.
posted from other board! glta
Did anyone mention that bio-remediation was discussed on FOXNEWS today? But it discussed a different company using the technology and not BUGS. CNN did the same thing and it was not BUGS. BUGS needs to be on these programs and articles and it is not happening that I can see so far. I hope that changes for all our sakes.
Look out side of the box here. This is a big picture view. The NYT is the biggest paper in the country. The fact that they are talking about the technology is key here. One company alone will not be able to supply all of the needs fr the entire Gulf coast.
If this becomes widely viewed and accepted as a viable option by the public as a whole..... BUGS will do quite nicely. IMO
All the articles do is prove the point that hundreds of companies are researching and using bio-remediation. We know what the technology can do, if its not related to BUGS directly, then it serves no purpose but to put fear in investors about BUGS having technology that everyone else is using.
20 of the 47 ‘microbial’ products that U.S. Microbics, BUGS. is starting to license to the world.
by Zagros on June 8, 2010 (dated)
20 of the 47 ‘microbial’ products that BUGS is starting to license to the world.
Today BUGS made some major move on no news. Bugs went up 40% and I was wondering what was behind this upward move. I couldnt find any logical reason for such a huge move. But I am thinking of these possibility
BUGS is a hurricane related stock and since on June 1st the 2010 Atlantic Hurricane Season has started, this could have been one reason.
***Other possibility is that BUGS considered as company which holds a patent of some good Oil cleaning product such as microbial’ products which on last April CNN had mentioned it while reporting about the oil spill in the gulf.
So I believe any one of thses2 possibilities can play major roll in affecting BUGS price. BUGS has double advantage been a Hurricane stock and Oil cleaning, make it desirable for many investors. We will find out Tomorrow whether today move was for real or was just another Pump and Dump scam.
Mean while I like to thank our contributor and my Friend octuel for his effort in preparing this following article. Please remember that this article was written on April and has not much to do with todays activity of BUGS. This is just for your information.
octuel April 30, 2010 at 5:20 am [edit]
here is a partial listing of some(20) of the 47 ‘microbial’ products that BUGS is starting to license to the world. BEHL ran to over .12/share by increasing algae yield with one product. BUGS has at least 47 patents and trade marks that they are ready to market and license! Each one of these products is a potential multi-million(billion) dollar money maker for the person, business, state, or country that pays the licensing fee. And there are at least TWENTY different kinds of these microbial blends and equipment that BUGS owns patents or trademarks on at the present time. And there are new ones being produced for every possible type of environmental ‘cure’.

Yea its not a slam dunk if you want it capped off.
I'm getting to think they want it to turn into a massive disaster.
Its almost retarded at this point, NUKE the f'n thing like the Russians have told us repeatitly. Denie help from other countries.
Won't send skimmer boats, because they might be needed else where???
Man this is looking bad.
Cracks along the ocean floor and the well head is now tilting some 12 degrees.
Just let this sucker start to dome and push the sea floor up.
I'm heading down the the Miss gulf coast in 2 weeks and really thinking about bailing and going to Hilton Head!
READ: Relief Well No Slam Dunk!

BP's Relief Well Is Not a Slam Dunk
Submitted by George Washington on 07/06/2010 09:18 -0500
Many oil drilling experts are hopeful that BP's relief wells will succeed on the first try. I hope and pray that they do.
But the relief wells are not a slam dunk.
CBS News states:
"It's not a solid dunk," said Eric Smith, a deepwater drilling expert. "It's going to take some work."
Smith said two things could go wrong. The cut could miss the broken wellbore, and BP would just try again, or engineers could drill into hidden gas pockets.
"When you are drilling into that you have to be careful of a kick, a blowout in the relief well," Smith said.
Similarly:
George Hirasaki, a Rice University professor in chemical and biomolecular engineering who was involved in the Bay Marchand oil containment effort for Shell, said engineers have to be very careful when drilling into any formation that has hydrocarbons, which poses the risk of the same type of explosion that destroyed the rig.
Recently-retired Shell Oil President John Hofmeister said that the well casing below the sea floor may have been compromised, which could render success from the relief wells less certain:
[Question] What are the chances that the well casing below the sea floor has been compromised, and that gas and oil are coming up the outside of the well casing, eroding the surrounding soft rock. Could this lead to a catastrophic geological failure, unstoppable even by the relief wells?
John Hofmeister: This is what some people fear has occurred. It is also why the "top kill" process was halted. If the casing is compromised the well is that much more difficult to shut down, including the risk that the relief wells may not be enough. If the relief wells do not result in stopping the flow, the next and drastic step is to implode the well on top of itself, which carries other risks as well.
Hofmeister subsequently told MSNBC:
The question is whether there is enough mechanical structure left at the base of the reservoir to hold the cement when they start pouring cement in [from the relief well].
***
The more oil we some coming out, the more it tells you that the whole casing system is deteriorating. The fact that more oil would be coming out rather than less oil, would suggest that the construction within the pipe is offering no resistance whatsoever, and we’re just getting a gusher.
Yesterday, the Guardian quoted the government official in charge of oil spill response as warning:
“There is a chance – a slight chance – they could nick the wellbore,” Thad Allen, the coast guard commander, said. …
A nick risks starting a new small leak or possibly even a collapse of a section of the pipe given that it was damaged in the explosion in ways still not fully understood.
***
The intercept could be complicated if it turns out that the oil is flowing around the pipe, between the pipe and the cement of the well bore.
And Spiegel previously reported that there are many dangers with completing the relief wells:
Independent experts warn that relief wells, like any well, are not without risk. "More oil could leak than before, because the field is being drilled into again," says Fred Aminzadeh, a geophysicist at the University of Southern California. Ira Leifer, a geochemist at the University of California in Santa Barbara, voices similar concerns: "In the worst case, we would suddenly be dealing with two spills, and we'd have twice the problem."
***
As straightforward as it sounds, this approach [i.e. killing a spill by drilling relief wells] has not always been easy to implement in the past. The disaster in the Timor Sea, for example, ended in a debacle. It took engineer five tries to even find the borehole under the sea floor. Shortly before the end, the West Atlas oilrig went up in flames, after all.
***
[David Rensink, incoming president of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists] is particularly concerned that BP, in drilling the relief wells, will penetrate into precisely those rock formations in which extreme pressure and temperature conditions facilitated the April blowout in the first place. Gas bubbles and gushing oil from the depths are real possibilities. "Any relief or kill well needs to be drilled with more caution than the first well," Donal Van Nieuwenhuise, a geologist at the University of Houston, told the New Orleans daily Times-Picayune. "You don't want a repeat performance.
An oil industry geologist adds:
[There are] lots of potential complications [in drilling relief wells]. A big one would be using too high a mud weight/pump pressure and fracturing thwe rock around the [relief well] and losing it. Also instead of the mud building a tall colume inside the well bore and stoping the flow it might escape out of ruptured [casing] or failed [cement] shoes. Then they might not ever be able to build enough back pressure to stop the flow. I suspect many of these possible problems won't reveal themselves until the actual kill process begins.
As CBS notes, even BP is no longer expressing full confidence:
BP leaders have showed supreme confidence in their relief wells.
"I fully expect that the well itself will be shut off in August," said Bob Dudley, BP's point man on the spill.
But recently? More caution.
"The drilling of relief wells, there's nothing guaranteed," Dudley said.
Indeed, the veteran engineer in charge of the Ixtoc Gulf oil well disaster in the 1970's states that - given the pressures involved - a single relief well might not be enough:
Carlos Osornio, a Mexican engineer in charge of Pemex's deepwater drilling operations during the Ixtoc crisis, said BP may ultimately find that both relief wells are needed to contain the gusher.
"One relief well may not be enough to contain the high volume (of oil flow), but two will work for sure," he said.
Similarly, former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich previously noted:
A petroleum engineer who’s worked in the oil industry tells me [that] a recent blow-out off the coast of Australia required five pressure relief wells to successfully shut it down.
For the above reasons - and given BP's track record of incompetence - I am hopeful, but not 100% confident that BP's relief wells will succeed.
Indeed, even now - in the midst of the worst oil spill in history - BP is still trying to cut costs instead of doing everything it can to stop the oil gusher as soon as humanly possible. As the Guardian notes:
The search for the Macondo would go faster if BP were using measurement while drilling tools, whereby sensors installed in the drill string send the appropriate readings back to the surface, said Langlinais. However, that equipment is hugely expensive. Instead, BP is relying on a process that involves swapping the drill bit for the line carrying the sensor.
Is this a 'perfect' story storm?
Need a Contract now.... doesn't even matter how big,,, just so it shows that BUGS / PFSD will be allowed to play in the pool/sandbox.

Now it becomes a waiting game, which come first on Thursday? News or Hurricane.
i`m almost sure we will see another intraday reversal today....

>>Tar balls in Texas mean oil hits all 5 Gulf states!
Tar balls hit Texas beach; oil from blown-out ocean well washes up along all 5 Gulf states
People walk along a beach as workers shovel and bag sand oiled by April's Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion and spill on a beach in Grand Isle, La. on Monday, July 5, 2010. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky)
Juan A. Lozano, Associated Press Writer, On Tuesday July 6, 2010, 7:29 am
TEXAS CITY, Texas (AP) -- More than two months after oil from BP's blown-out seafloor well first reached Louisiana, a bucket's worth of tar balls that washed onto a pair of Texas beaches means the crude has arrived in every Gulf state.
Oil is still on the move, but the fleet of skimmers tapped to clean the worst-hit areas of the Gulf of Mexico is not. A string of storms has made the water too choppy for the boats to operate for more than a week off Florida, Alabama and Mississippi, even though the gusher continues.
The number of tar balls discovered in Texas is tiny compared to what has coated beaches in other Gulf states. Still, it provoked the quick dispatch of cleaning crews and a vow that BP PLC will pay for the trouble.
"Any Texas shores impacted by the Deepwater spill will be cleaned up quickly and BP will be picking up the tab," Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson said in a news release.
The oil's arrival in Texas was predicted Friday by an analysis from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which gave a 40 percent chance of crude reaching the area.
"It was just a matter of time that some of the oil would find its way to Texas," said Hans Graber, a marine physicist at the University of Miami and co-director of the Center for Southeastern Tropical Advanced Remote Sensing.
About five gallons of tar balls were found Saturday on the Bolivar Peninsula, northeast of Galveston, said Capt. Marcus Woodring, the Coast Guard commander for the Houston/Galveston sector. Two gallons were found Sunday on the peninsula and Galveston Island, though tests have not yet confirmed the oil's origin.
Woodring said the consistency of the tar balls indicates they could have been spread to Texas water by ships that have worked out in the spill. But there's no way to confirm how they got there.
Galveston Mayor Joe Jaworski said he believed the tar balls were a fluke, rather than a sign of what's to come.
"This is good news," he said. "The water looks good. We're cautiously optimistic this is an anomaly."
Hurricane Alex, which blew through the Gulf last week and made landfall along the border between Texas and Mexico, may have played a small role in bringing the oil ashore in Texas by increasing the westerly current near land, Graber said. But it was more likely due to normal coastal currents and local weather patterns.
NOAA scientists are looking at local weather, Hurricane Alex and Gulf vessels as possible sources for the tar balls, agency spokeswoman Monica Allen said Monday.
The distance between the western reach of the tar balls in Texas and the most eastern reports of oil in Florida is about 550 miles. Oil was first spotted on land near the mouth of the Mississippi River on April 29.
The spill is reaching deeper into Louisiana. Strings of oil were seen Monday in the Rigolets, one of two waterways that connect the Gulf with Lake Pontchartrain, the large lake north of New Orleans.
"So far it's scattered stuff showing up, mostly tar balls," said Louisiana Office of Fisheries Assistant Secretary Randy Pausina. "It will pull out with the tide, and then show back up."
New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu said assets would be deployed to protect the Lake Pontchartrain basin.
Pausina said he expected the oil to clear the passes and move directly into the lake, taking a backdoor route to New Orleans.
The news of the spill's reach comes at a time when most of the offshore skimming operations in the Gulf have been halted by choppy seas and high winds. A tropical system that had been lingering off Louisiana flared up Monday afternoon, bringing heavy rain and winds.
Last week, the faraway Hurricane Alex idled the skimming fleet off Alabama, Florida and Mississippi with choppy seas and stiff winds. Now they're idled by the smaller storms that could last well into this week.
Officials have plans for the worst-case scenario: a hurricane barreling up the Gulf toward the spill site. But the less-dramatic weather conditions have been met with a more makeshift response.
Skimming across the Gulf has scooped up about 23.5 million gallons of oil-fouled water so far, but officials say it's impossible to know how much crude could have been sucked up in good weather because of the fluctuating number of boats and other variables.
Jerry Biggs, a commercial fisherman in Pass Christian, Miss., who has had to shut down because of the spill, is now hiring out his 13 boats and 40-man crew to BP for cleanup. He said skimming is severely hampered by the weather.
"This isn't going away. This isn't a sneeze or a hiccup. This is diarrhea for a long time," he said. "My lifestyle is screwed. It's over. The thing that I love the most I'm not going to be able to do anymore."
The British company has now seen its costs from the spill reach $3.12 billion, a figure that doesn't include a $20 billion fund for damages the company created last month.
The storms have not affected drilling work on a relief well BP says is the best chance for finally plugging the leak. The company expects drilling to be finished by mid-August.
Associated Press writers Tom Breen and Mary Foster in New Orleans and Brendan Farrington in Pass Christian, Miss., contributed to this report.
