Report to Class

People in the UK now fit into seven social classes, a major survey conducted by the BBC suggests.

It says the traditional categories of working, middle and upper class are outdated, fitting 39% of people.

It found a new model of seven social classes ranging from the elite at the top to a \”precariat\” – the poor, precarious proletariat – at the bottom.

More than 161,000 people took part in the Great British Class Survey, the largest study of class in the UK.

Arkansas Oil Spill

• Exxon pipeline erupts and floods Arkansas town – YouTube

On Friday, 22 homes were evacuated in a community in the state of Arkansas after a portion of an ExxonMobil pipeline burst leaving nearly 10,000 barrels of tar sand crude oil oozing through the streets. Critics of the Keystone XL pipeline say that cases like this will only multiply once the controversial channel is built.

• Ark. homes evacuated after oil pipeline spill – YouTube

People living in a small community near Little Rock, Ark., are being forced from their home and may not come back for weeks after an oil pipeline ruptured. Manuel Bojorquez reports.

• Arkansas Oil Spill Raises Scrutiny of Pipeline Network

Environmental groups said the rupture of the Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) pipe on March 29 in Mayflower, Arkansas, shows why Obama should reject Keystone, which would be a major new conduit between the U.S. and Canada for a type of fuel critics say is more corrosive than more conventional forms of oil.

• Pipelines Explained: How Safe are America’s 2.5 Million Miles of Pipelines? – ProPublica
  > The 2.5 million miles of America\’s pipelines suffer hundreds of leaks and ruptures every year, costing lives and money. As existing lines grow older, critics warn that the risk of accidents on those lines will only increase.

While states with the most pipeline mileage — like Texas,California, and Louisiana — also have the most incidents, breaks occur throughout the far-flung network of pipelines. Winding under city streets and countryside, these lines stay invisible most of the time. Until they fail.

Since 1986, pipeline accidents have killed more than 500 people, injured over 4,000, and cost nearly seven billion dollars in property damages. Using government data, ProPublica has mapped thousands of these
incidents in a new interactive news application [9], which provides
detailed information about the cause and costs of reported incidents going back
nearly three decades.

• At Oil Spill Cleanup in Arkansas, Exxon Running the Show, Not Federal Agencies

Tightly controlled by ExxonMobil, which was responsible for the spill, access to even the parking lot is not permitted. A security guard now stops anyone without a red lanyard and ID badge from passing into the gated compound.

• No Fly Zone Above the Spill in Effect

• Exxon\’s Duck-Killing Pipeline Won\’t Pay Taxes To Oil Spill Cleanup Fund | ThinkProgress

A 1980 law ensures that diluted bitumen is not classified as oil, and companies transporting it in pipelines do not have to pay into the federal Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund. Other conventional crude producers pay 8 cents a barrel to ensure the fund has resources to help clean up some of the 54,000 barrels of pipeline oil that spilled 364 times last year.

• Arkansas oil spill: Exxon reacts to tax \’loophole,\’ pledges ‘to cover all costs’ — RT USA

Answering RT\’s detailed questions, ExxonMobil stated they are
paying for all costs related to the spill. However, the company
didn\’t reveal how much it contributes to the OSLTF, or the value of
the company\’s crude which is not taxed by the law.

• Exxon Mobil promises to cover oil spill cleanup costs in Arkansas – CNN.com

Exxon Mobil will pay all of the costs related to last week\’s oil spill in an Arkansas neighborhood, a company spokesman said Wednesday.

Between 3,500 and 5,000 barrels of heavy crude leaked from a ruptured pipeline — not 12,000 barrels, as previously reported, according to Exxon Mobil spokesman Alan Jeffers.

• NRA\’s National School Shield Program: Gun lobby set to unveil findings from post-Newtown initiative.

The timing of the release is no coincidence. It comes as the gun control/safety debate continues to heat up in the Senate, where lawmakers are at work on a deal that would expand background checks.
