'Amazing Spider-Man' Cast: Their Best Movies

One of the greatest strengths of Marc Webb's maybe-too-soon reboot is an opportunity to recast the roles from Sam Raimi's trilogy with a truly impressive ensemble. Like many of the best superhero movies today, "The Amazing Spider-Man" attracted some major talents, so in honor of that film's release, we're taking a look back at each [...]

Arctic drilling creeps forward now, and in 5 years

(AP) ? In choppy water under blue sky off Bellingham, Wash., a Shell Oil crew on Monday lowered a "capping stack" 200 feet in the water and put it through maneuvers with underwater robots connected by cable to operators on the surface, a test that fulfilled one of the final steps required for permission to drill exploratory wells in Arctic waters.

The capping stack looks like a giant spark plug and is designed to kill an undersea oil well blowout by providing a metal-to-metal seal on a malfunctioning blowout preventer.

Shell is sending the capping stack, skimmers, boom and a containment dome on board a flotilla accompanying drill ships to Alaska's northern shores as part of a spill response plan that has the blessing of Interior Secretary Ken Salazar. Shell expects final approvals within weeks and drilling by late this month.

But environmental groups contend the government has it wrong. Despite reforms put in place after the Deepwater Horizon blowout in the Gulf of Mexico, their basic objections remain. Shell has vastly overstated its ability to respond to a worst-case scenario spill in open water, said attorney Holly Harris of Earthjustice, and no oil company has demonstrated it can clean up a spill that lingers into the Arctic's eight months of sea ice.

A spill will threaten whales, polar bears, ice seals and walrus plus the Alaska Native subsistence communities that depend on the ocean's bounty, according to environmental groups.

The federal government requires a spill response plan to show how the drilling company will clean up a worst-case discharge in adverse weather. Shell's worst case for drilling in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas is a spill of 25,000 barrels per day. Environmental groups have seized on the phrase that for planning the onshore response, "the worst case discharge scenario assumes that 10 percent of the 25,000 barrels per day discharge escapes the primary offshore recovery effort at the blowout."

Said Harris, "If you base a spill plan on the assumption that 90 percent of it is going to be recovered in the open water, and only, quote, 10 percent of the daily discharge is going to escape those cleanup efforts, then you don't have to have as many spill response assets near shore protecting things like coastlines, lagoons and the near-shore environment."

She said "there is no evidence before this agency or anywhere else" that the oil company has come close to having enough boats, enough oil-containing boom or enough people to control 90 per cent of the damage.

Shell Alaska spokesman Curtis Smith said opposition groups are purposely mischaracterizing Shell's oil spill response plan. The plan does not claim Shell can clean up 90 percent of an oil spill, he said.

"We say in our plan we expect to 'encounter' 90 percent of any discharge on site ? very close to the drilling rig," he said. "We expect to encounter 5 percent near-shore between the drilling rig and the coast. And we expect to encounter another 5 percent on shore. We never make claims about the percent we could actually recover, because conditions vary, of course."

The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement signed off on Shell's response plan in February. At a news teleconference Tuesday, when asked about the 90 percent claim included in Shell's response plan, Salazar did not answer directly but put his faith in federal on-site inspectors.

"I believe, first of all, that there is not going to be an oil spill, because frankly, the scrutiny that is going to be involved, including the prevention effort that we have, and the oversight effort that we have ? the inspectors we have on 24/7, and all of the rest of the measures that have been taken, and the high risk, frankly, that Shell and the entire industry would have is something were to go wrong ? I don't expect that there is going to be a problem," Salazar said.

"Now if there would be a problem, which one always has to anticipate, I believe that the response capabilities are there to be able to arrest the problem in a very quick fashion and avoid environmental damage," he said. "If we were not confident that that were to happen, I would not let the permits go forward."

Salazar commented as he announced more Alaska offshore real estate will be included in the 2012-2017 five-year oil and gas lease program ? the Chukchi Sea in 2016 and the Beaufort in 2017. The Shell experience, he said, will develop critical science and information to guide future development.

Shell hopes to drill in both seas during the 2012 open water season. The Kulluk, a 266-foot ship with a hull reinforced for ice, and the Noble Discoverer left Seattle on Wednesday for Dutch Harbor in the Aleutians, where they will wait for open water this month for the last leg to the Beaufort and the Chukchi.

Shell estimates it has spent more than $4 billion on Arctic offshore development. The target is the 26.6 billion barrels of recoverable oil and 130 trillion cubic feet of natural gas estimated by federal managers.

Throughout the permitting process, Shell has stressed the extreme measures it will take to make sure no oil ever hits the water.

Environmental groups say the lack of infrastructure on sparsely populated Arctic coast would make cleanup a nightmare.

"Where are we going to house all these people?" Harris said. "How are we going to feed all these people? How are we going to provide basic services ? the sanitation and spill response infrastructure?

There's also the problem of dealing with a spill when ice moves in, she said. The last spill exercise in U.S. waters with ice was conducted in 2000 and showed boom intended to corral oil was no match for broken, floating ice.

The rate of recovery for the Exxon Valdez was just 8 percent, Harris said, and likely would be less in the Arctic.

"The lack of attention paid to this decision was discouraging," Harris said.

Federer, Djokovic raise the roof at Wimbledon

Roger Federer insisted it was right to keep the Centre Court roof open as long as possible, saying the rain intensified the Wimbledon drama despite it playing havoc with the men's fourth round on Monday.

Six-time winner Federer and reigning champion Novak Djokovic were home and dry in the quarter-finals, having completed their matches on Centre Court.

But the persistent drizzle in southwest London meant that only one match was completed on the outside courts in the men's last 16.

Swiss great Federer said Wimbledon officials were right to keep the roof open during his 7-6 (7/1), 6-1, 4-6, 6-3 win over Belgium's Xavier Malisse.

It seemed somewhat of a volte face from the All England Club, having kept the roof closed on Friday as a preventative measure -- to the annoyance of some -- despite the gloomy skies never breaking.

"I was happy they kept it open because it is an outdoor tournament. We don't want to play indoors all the time. It's not that big of a deal coming on and off," third seed Federer said after his 850th tour win.

"I know spectators would rather see a match than sitting in the rain."

But, he added: "They love it. To see the referee coming out and inspecting the courts, that's the whole drama that belongs to Wimbledon. Eventually if it's too bad and it's really raining, this is when you shut it."

With the Centre Court roof firmly closed, world number one Djokovic was able to play his match against fellow Serb Viktor Troicki, winning at a canter 6-3, 6-1, 6-3.

And while Federer wants the roof open, Djokovic wants it closed, having got used to it.

"It's all good," he said, grinning.

"It's good for me to finish and to have a day of practice and get ready for next challenge.

"I played only the first match outdoors, and then all the three next ones were under the closed roof. It's a bit more humid. The balls get a bit bigger. Maybe the grass gets more slippery on the back of the court.

"They're doing a really good job with arranging the temperature inside. Because when it gets around 15,000 people in the stands, they're really making sure the grass is not too slippery."

Federer knows who he will play in Wednesday's quarter-finals, after Mikhail Youzhny, the 26th seed, triumphed in a tough, five-set battle with Uzbekistan's Denis Istomin.

Youzhny won 6-3, 5-7, 6-4, 6-7 (5/7), 7-5 out on Court 18 to give him another shot at a first win over Federer -- at the 14th time of asking.

But he was keeping his cards close to his chest on how he planned to go about it.

"It's good for me that I have one more chance against a great player, one of the best players in the world," the Muscovite said after reaching his first Wimbledon quarter-final on the seventh attempt -- an Open Era record for a single Grand Slam.

"I cannot say anything more about that right now, because I don't want to talk now how I will play, what happens against Federer.

"I never beat this guy. So just now I can't talk about my dreams, what I have to do on court to beat Roger.

"If he gives you some chances, you have to take them immediately, because maybe you will never have a second chance."

The rain brought play to a stop on all outside courts, meaning the matches were carried over to Tuesday.

British fourth seed Andy Murray was 7-5, 3-1 up against Croatia's Marin Cilic on Court One.

French fifth seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was trailing 6-4, 1-1 against US 10th seed Mardy Fish on Court 2.

A lineswoman had to leave the court after being accidentally hit in the eye by a power-packed Fish serve.

Germany's number 31 seed Florian Mayer was 6-3, 2-1 up against French 18th seed Richard Gasquet. The winner faces Djokovic.

German 27th seed Philipp Kohlschreiber was about to get started against US qualifier Brian Baker on Court 12 when the covers went on.

The victor takes on either Tsonga or Fish in the last eight.

Spanish seventh seed David Ferrer and Argentinian ninth seed Juan Martin del Potro will open the action on Centre Court on Tuesday, with the winner to meet either Murray or Cilic.

    On Friday, they announced their newest defense in the city's deadly war: the Stand Up Charleston initiative. It is a program meant to bring together community officials, leaders and citizens to help stop--and ultimately prevent violent crimes from happening.

    "We must show those within our community who would do harm, that those of us who call Charleston home are not going to allow this to occur," Mayor Riley said.?"We are ready to stand up."

    According to Charleston police statistics, murders seem to be on the rise. In 2008, 14 people were murdered. That number fell significantly in 2009 with nine homicides, but increased one a year through the end of 2011. So far, there have been seven homicides in 2012.

    Several city officials and leaders, including city council members and church members,?attended the afternoon press conference. The mayor introduced? Margaret Seidler, a lifetime Charlestonian, as the person spearheading the local?campaign against crime.

    Other city officials discussed the recent passage of Senate Bill 45, a piece of legislation awaiting Gov. Nikki Haley's signature. It is a measure that would transform the state's justice system, starting with how people would bond out of jail.

    Riley and Mullen said the new initiative and, hopefully, the new law, will encourage people to come forward with information that could help solve a crime.

    "It is critical that...those who have a stake in making sure that we stop this carnage that we see with these violent repeat offenders continually committing crimes and being on our streets," Mullen said.
