Rare algae bloom turns waters near Sydney’s Bondi Beach blood red

Posted on November 28, 2012




November 27, 2012 – AUSTRALIA – Tourists heading for world-famous Bondi Beach were left high and dry today after a rare natural phenomenon turned the water blood red. Bondi was among several popular beaches in and around Sydney, Australia, which had to be closed after a huge algae bloom transformed the sea into something resembling a scene from a Jaws movie. But despite the warnings a number of intrepid beachgoers were seen venturing into the water and swimming through the red surface, Ten News Sydney reported. Known as Nocturnal Scintillans or sea sparkle it has no toxic effects but people are still advised to avoid swimming in areas with discoloured water because the algae, which can be high in ammonia, can cause skin irritation. British tourists were among large groups of visitors who were told by lifeguards not to enter the water until the all-clear was given because the algae can irritate the skin and cause other health problems. Ken Roberts, 23, from Birmingham, England said: ‘Perhaps I’m just in the wrong country – I thought the Red Sea was somewhere in Asia.’ Local lifeguard Bruce Hopkins said: ‘It has quite a fishy smell to it. ‘It makes the water look like it has a coating of tomato-sauce coloured oil.’ The algae has already disappointing thousands who had headed to the coast to cool off as the summer Down Under finally gets under way of a prolonged cold period. The New South Wales (NSW) Office of Water has been carrying out a series of tests to discover what caused the bloom. One theory is that it was caused by an upwelling of colder nutrient-rich water. –Daily Mail

Lava from vent of Puʻu ʻŌʻō enters ocean for first time in nearly a year

Posted on November 27, 2012



November 27, 2012 – HAWAII – A lava flow from the Kīlauea Volcano’s Puʻu ʻŌʻō vent entered the ocean at around 1 p.m. on Saturday. The spectacle drew a number of visitors to the area for tours over the weekend. The activity came a day after a small earthquake, measuring 4.3 magnitude occurred at the Lōʻihi Seamount. Lō’ihi is an active volcano situated on the sea floor about 19 miles from the south shoreline of Hawai’i Island. Despite being felt island-wide officials with the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory say there were no observable affects on other volcanoes. The HVO notes that the ongoing eruption of Puʻu ʻŌʻō–Kupaianaha at Kīlauea began in January 1983. Since then, lava flows have destroyed 213 structures, and resurfaced 9 miles of highway, covering it with as much as 115 feet of lava. A flow in mid-2010 and early 2011, reached the Kalapana Gardens subdivision, destroying three homes, according to the HVO. –Maui Now

Hurricane Sandy to cost New York $42 billion dollars

Posted on November 27, 2012


November 27, 2012 – NEW YORK – Superstorm Sandy ran up a super bill of $42 billion across New York, causing more damage than the infamous Hurricane Katrina, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said Monday, appealing for federal emergency funds. Cuomo told a news conference that Sandy’s impact had by some measures been worse than Katrina, which caused devastation along the US Gulf Coast in 2005. Although Katrina’s death toll at 1,833 was far higher than the approximately 110 killed during last month’s hurricane-strength Sandy, the damage to property and businesses was worse this time round, he said. The total bill in New York and neighboring New Jersey was “62, 61 billion dollars,” Cuomo estimated, although that number seemed sure to rise when including extra funds needed for protection against future storms. In New York state alone, Cuomo said the total cost of recovery work came to $32.8 billion, with another $9.1 billion in prevention expenses. Footing that bill would “incapacitate” New York’s budget, Cuomo said, urging Washington to come to the rescue with federal aid. Earlier, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said America’s biggest city had suffered $19 billion in Sandy-related costs. The Big Apple “will struggle to recover in the long term unless expedited federal funding is supplied,” Bloomberg said. The October 29 hurricane flooded the subway train system, damaged tens of thousands of houses in the New York area, knocked out electricity in swaths of the city for days, and prompted severe fuel shortages. Among the storm’s prominent victims was the Statue of Liberty, which had only just reopened after a year’s refurbishments and is now to be closed again for at least the remainder of 2012. The National Park Service said on its website that “a projected reopening date has not yet been established.” According to the mayor, the net repair bill from the storm falls to $9.8 billion once private insurance and already pledged Federal Emergency Management Agency aid are factored in. But “federal legislative action will be required to address the budget gap that will result once available FEMA funds and insurance proceeds are drawn down,” he said. –Space Daily

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie announced on Friday that Hurricane Sandy caused nearly $29.4 billion in damages to personal properties, businesses and transportation and utility infrastructure in the state. However, Christie warned that the cost of the mega storm could rise once population shifts, effects on real estate values and next summer's tourism season were taken into consideration, The Star-Ledger reported.

Israel prepares for next war in Gaza and Lebanon; successfully testing new missile system ‘Magic Wand’

Posted on November 26, 2012




November 26, 2012 – TEL AVIV – Israel has successfully test-fired Magic Wand, the successor to the Iron Dome interceptor that featured prominently in the recent Gaza conflict. And now, even before the aftershocks of the Israel-Gaza conflict dissipate, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have tested the next generation of anti-missile systems. The interceptor, also known as David’s Sling, was jointly developed by Israel’s Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and the United States’ Raytheon. Magic Wand, it is understood, was developed against the Hezbollah missiles from Lebanon. The country is subject to threats from the Islamic militant group, perceived as the long arm of Iran. Israel is hoping the latest system in its arsenal will be useful in intercepting a variety of short-range ballistic and cruise missiles. The interception range for Magic Wand is between 70km and 75km. Each interceptor has been estimated to have cost around $1mn (£624,000) and expected to be fully operational in 2014. Testing was originally scheduled for 2013 but the critical situation of recent weeks has seen the schedule pulled forward. The Iron Dome interceptor successfully stopped over 400 missiles from the Gaza Strip. IDF statements indicate Iron Dome has a success rate of approximately 90 percent and the latest interceptor, it is hoped, will extend the same run. “The great success of the Iron Dome batteries during Operation Pillar of Defense proves beyond a shadow of a doubt the tremendous importance of anti-missile systems. Israel is a world leader in this department thanks to the Israeli defense industries and its developers,” said Defense Minister Ehud Barak in a statement, adding, “The completion of the program will be a significant layer for Israel’s multi-tiered anti-missile defense system.” Officials in the Jewish state are reportedly pleased with the success of the latest interceptor, as its system is much more complex. –IB Times
