Following a demand from Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) for a live feed of the BP oil spill to be made publicly available on the web, BP said they would release the feed. It is now shown on the website of Markey’s Select Committee on Energy Independent and Global Warming.

“This may be BP’s footage, but it’s America’s ocean. Now anyone will be able to see the real-time effects the BP spill is having on our ocean,” said Rep. Markey, who conducted a briefing today with independent scientists where he reiterated the call for a video feed. “This footage will aid analysis by independent scientists blocked by BP from coming to see the spill.”

Markey sent letters earlier today to BP America’s CEO Lamar McKay asking for the footage to be made public on BP’s website. If BP could not host the footage, Rep. Markey offered to host it on his website free of charge.

“BP is going to have to pay for the cleanup of this spill and the long-term damage. Hosting this video on our website is the only freebie they’re going to get,” Rep. Markey said.

The letter sent to McKay today can be found here
.
Rep. Markey has frequently queried BP for more information on the exact size of the spill and on their refusal to engage with outside scientists. Independent scientists have examined video, satellite photos and other aspects of the spill and determined that it may be much bigger than estimated. Today at a briefing Rep. Markey held in his Energy and Environment Subcommittee, independent scientists from Purdue University and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution said that the estimate of a 5,000 barrel per day leak was an underestimation of the flow. The scientists said with more data, they could better calculate the flow of oil from the sea floor.

"This is 4th grade math. We know the numerator here—the couple thousand barrels a day BP is siphoning out of the sunken pipe. But we still don’t know the denominator," said Rep. Markey. "BP is capturing a fraction of the oil, but they don’t know what that fraction is. By releasing this video, we’ve taken the first step towards allowing better access to the information BP has about this spill."

THE BANNEN WAY is the highly-anticipated, sexy, fast-paced series starring Mark Gantt (“Ocean’s Eleven”); Vanessa Marcil ("Lipstick Jungle," "Las Vegas"); Gabriel Tigerman (“Supernatural”); Michael Ironside ("Terminator Salvation,” Total Recall," “Smallville”); Academy-Award® nominee Robert Forster (“Jackie Brown,” “Heroes”); and special guest star, Academy-Award® nominee Michael Lerner (“Entourage,” "Elf," “Barton Fink”).

The high-octane, slick new series follows Neal Bannen (Mark Gantt), a charming con-man and thief with a police chief for a father (Michael Ironside); a mob boss for an uncle (Robert Forster); and a penchant for fine women – like Madison (Vanessa Marcil), who wants to turn his life around and leave the criminal lifestyle once and for all. All Bannen has to do is complete one more job in order to pay off his debt to a notorious gangster…which just doesn’t work out as easily as he’d hoped.

Watch THE BANNEN WAY now.

IF I CAN DREAM is the first of a new generation of post reality entertainment.IF I CAN DREAM will give viewers a documentary-like look at what it takes to achieve success and recognition in Hollywood in 2010. The viewer will watch as an initial group of five young people - a musician, an actor, two actresses and a model - leave their hometowns and live together high up in the Hollywood Hills. Their every move will be streamed live online as they rehearse, write music, socialize and plan their careers. Innovative camera and sensor technology will allow a global audience to interact with the aspiring performers through text, blogs, MySpace, twitter and facebook as the action unfolds in real-time--something that has never been attempted on a global scale before.

The opinions and points of view of the viewing audience will be recorded through blogs and video messages on www.ificandream.com allowing the aspiring performers to test ideas, rehearse and audition in front of their audience. As the experience evolves, the community around IF I CAN DREAM will introduce new hopefuls, as well as visitors and other participants. In this way IF I CAN DREAM will become an interactive cultural experiment, opening up the American Dream and democratizing the process of the making of a star.
IF I CAN DREAM will open doors, as the aspiring performers will be given access to the best acting, vocal, music and modeling coaches in the business, but it will be up to each member to walk through the doors.

The storyline of IF I CAN DREAM will be driven by the real life narrative of the lives of the individual members, so when one of them leaves - to go on tour, to shoot a part in a movie, because they've been dropped or simply because they want out - their place will be taken by a new hopeful who will be chosen by the public via an open audition process. 

IF I CAN DREAM is supposed to go live early 2010. Until then, sweet dreams.
