If you can come up with more email addresses for local county and municipal officials in adjacent arias and states I well be happy to contact them. Direct contact on a local level to the people most effected can be very productive.
Good post. I just emailed all of them.
Let's hope CBS will be "Saying the Right thing, at the Right time: PRICELESS…."
Wayne is sending them a 5 pound bag for testing as we speak.
aak. Call these people.
We should all email this organization and ask them to use MOPN to clean birds covered in oil and send them the MOPN Bird Feather Demonstration. I just did.

Please excuse the type-o. I should have said "Done" not None. We should keep pounding on CNBC's door until they let us in.

Could you please give me a link for that. thanx
Yes, Fat Daddy. It made my day when I saw MOPN on the same page with those heavy hitter companies. And in Bloomberg no less!!
right???
I have been "All IN" for weeks and hope to add as I can. This imo is a long term Buy and Hold.
Better get it while the MOP'N , get'n good.

linkedin connections Michigan's depressed economy nearly toppled Grand Rapids-based awning maker Prestige Products. Then in April, the company's fortunes changed dramatically when executive Brian Rickel got a phone call from an old contact at BP (BP). It was 10 days after BP's Deepwater Horizon rig had exploded, and BP needed help containing the gush of oil. Six weeks later, Prestige has rented a factory, filled it with millions of dollars of new equipment, and hired 74 workers (it employed only six as of April). Using material similar to the vinyl in awnings, Prestige is churning out 12,000 feet a day of booms, the floating barriers that help contain oil slicks. Prestige hopes to double its output—if it can hire 50 additional workers.
"We're in Michigan. The economy has been horrible for everybody here," Rickel said in an interview. "But the expertise is here and we cashed in on it."
The spill in the Gulf of Mexico will inflict billions of dollars' worth of damage on the economies of Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida by destroying fisheries, halting oil drilling, and scaring off tourists. But for scores of businesses—from small fry like Prestige to big operators like construction giant Fluor (FLR)—there's money to be made in the aftermath of the worst oil spill in U.S. history.
It's a dichotomy present across the Gulf region. A sign on a shuttered seafood shop in Grand Isle, La., blames BP and President Barack Obama for its woes. Nearby motels and repair shops display Help Wanted signs for maids and mechanics to help with the crush of cleanup activity. Local caterers are aggressively advertising, trying to persuade BP to hire them to feed the cleanup crews gathering on the coast.
Rene Vegas, owner of Bridge Side Cabins & Marina, also in Grand Isle, says his summer sport fishing season is lost thanks to the fast-expanding oil slick. So, like many area businessmen, he's shifting his focus from tourism to the cleanup effort. Vegas has begun stocking rubber boots, hard hats, and ropes to sell to cleanup crews.
Troy Petrovich, co-owner of T+T Boat Rentals in Buras, La., has seen demand for his marine-related services spike. Before the spill, "I kept calling, putting out more phone calls" in search of oil company customers, says Petrovich. "Now my phone is ringing pretty steady; everybody is looking for boats." T+T has rented out all 10 of its boats to oil companies and raised the daily rate to $450 from $325.
Plenty of other businesses aren't waiting for business to come to them. Shortly after the spill began, MOP Environmental Solutions, a Bath (N.H)-based maker of a substance it claims absorbs up to 30 times its weight in oil, sent four employees to the Gulf to conduct demonstrations for cleanup officials. The MOP workers came armed with fish tanks, oil, water, and the absorbing material in the trunks of their cars. Some of the company's shareholders hired a local pilot to fly around the region with a banner reading, "We mop up oil." After weeks of being pestered, BP purchased its first three truckloads of the oil-absorbent material for $155,000, says MOP President Charles Diamond.
The company didn't have to wait as long to get a full hearing as actor Kevin Costner. Costner's company, Ocean Therapy Solutions, uses barge-based turbines to separate water from oil. He first demonstrated the centrifuges to BP officials at a technology conference 10 years ago, but wasn't given the go-ahead to test the gear in open water until earlier this month. Now Ocean Therapy says it has sold 32 of the centrifuges to BP.

Just sent it out again from a second email account. How many email account do most of us have?
Loose sorbents are only baned in open ocean but can be used inland and in marshes and rivers. Only a matter of time until open ocean is ok I hope.
Fat Daddy. I must have missed something. Did Sarah Palin mention MOPN. Talk about the fox guarding the hen house. But hey, we will take the publicity I guess. What happened?
Good post. I agree. It feels good to be part of the Solution.
So, me2. Where did you get you engineering degree? Did you say in your post that you get your information from talk radio?
OK. I see what you were saying. Thanx. That's still a lot of oil for MOP to be mop'n. Buy and Hold.
Let's get an amateur estimate to approach the approximate size of the spill.
The slick is not "17 miles square". That would be small compared to what is out there. The slick is not 17 square miles squared with the letter d on square. If it were it would be much bigger than it is. Glad it is not that big. Must be somewhere between the two. Take a look at this map to get an eyeball on things. http://ocg6.marine.usf.edu/~liu/Drifters/latest_gomhycom.htm Then consider that the distance form New Orleans to Pensacola is about 130 miles as I surmise from Google Earth. That looks like it could be close to the length of the slick and let's just say for argument sake that it is 80 miles wide. That would make the aria around 10400 square miles. Actually it is bigger if you consider the real Mercator projection on a curved surface. Lots of oil anyway you look at it for MOP to mop and we will. Buy and Hold my friends. Buy and Hold.
Just sent it out. We should all do the same. Add a short personal variation at the start of your email. What a great list of email addresses you composed. We should develop another for all gulf state municipalities and Local TV news stations for another email blitz.
New update as of 6:00pm today. From U.S.F. The Deepwater Horizon oil spill trajectory hindcast/forecast based on the Navy GOM HYCOM
http://ocg6.marine.usf.edu/~liu/Drifters/latest_gomhycom.htm
This is a joint effort of the Ocean Circulation Group and the Optical Oceanography Laboratory at College of Marine Science, University of South Florida to track/predict the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico using simulated drifters/particles. Drifter trajectories were calculated based on the three-hourly surface currents from the Navy Gulf of Mexico HYCOM nowcast/forecst system. Virtual particles were released from the sunken rig site every three hours, assuming continual oil spill from the well. The initial locations of the drifters were inferred from the latest satellite sensed oil slick patches. The subsequent movements of the virtual particles were estimated by the model, not by observations. It must be recognized that all forecast models have errors that grow with time for a variety of reasons. This is one reason why it is important to consider comparative analyses from several different models (multi-model ensemble forecast).
The particles (difters) are shown as black dots, and their trajectries in magenta. Macondo well is designated by the red circle. Sea surface temperature (color contours, units in deg C) was superimposed with the surface current vectors to indicate the surface ocean circulation. The velocity data were subsampled every the third grid points in both east and north directions for better visulization. Questions or comments, please contact Prof. Robert H. Weisberg or Dr. Yonggang Liu.

Let's all contact Anderson Cooper on behalf of MOP at http://www.cnn.com/feedback/tips/newstips.html
Good Work Brickman...
Good job Brickman. Must do the same. Everyone should also. Let's all hit CNN hard and now with a news tip. Send the youtube vids. What is that link again Brickman.
I JUST WANT TO BE PART OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTION. AND IF I MAKE MONEY DOING IT, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT... I HOPE THE GULF IS ALL WE HAVE TO SAVE AND NOT THE SOUTH EAST COAST TOO...

CHECK OUT THE BIT OFF THE KEYS THAT WILL BE HEADING UP THE EAST COAST OF FLA. MORE WILL FOLLOW...
http://ocg6.marine.usf.edu/~liu/Drifters/latest_gomhycom.htm
Well said...
Maybe a good time to post his one again:
This is a comprehensive list of broadcasters in Louisiana. Maybe we should make a concentrated effort to contact all of them on behalf of MOP. I do not have email addresses but it may be better to make calls and establish a connection with a real person over the phone and ask them personally for their email address. This could go a long way to jump starting media coverage in the local area where people will have a heightened urgency and be the most likely to embrace Mop Environmental Solutions. May the tedious job of calling begin. It will be worth it.

Using a nuke to try to plug the flow is a very bad idea. I do not want the seafood from the gulf to be tainted with strontium, cerium and ruthenium for the next several thousand years. Let's stick to extracting the oil with all available MOP products, most importantly bulk MOP sorbent and MOP Cannons.
CALLING ALL MOPHEADS, CALLING ALL MOPHEADS...
A good day indeed.
But now, who wants to make some REAL MONEY???
