George Buck, chief operating officer for the Brazilian division of the San Ramon, California- based company, told foreignjour- nalists that Chevron "takes full responsibility for this incident," and that "any oil on the surface of the ocean is unacceptable to Chevron." But Buck rejected accusa- tions the company did not notify authorities quickly enough after the leak was detected and that it did not properly manage cleanup operations. Chevron was drilling an appraisal well about 230 miles (370 kilometers) off the north- eastern coast of Rio de Janeiro when the leak began Nov.7. The drilling fluid that is pumped down the center of the drill as it works, lubricat- ing and stabilizing the pressure of the bore hole, was not heavy enough to counter the pressure coming from the oil reservoir, Buck said. That caused crude to rush upward and eventually escape through a breach inthe bore hole and leak into the surrounding seabed. The oil then made its way to the ocean floor and has since leaked through at least seven nar- row fissures, all within 160 feet (50 meters) of the well head on the ocean floor, Buck said. Brazil's National Petroleum Agency has said it's possible more than 110,000 gallons of oil have spilled into the Atlantic Ocean. Buck would not provide an esti- mate on the total size of the leak, but said the agency figure was "in the ballpark." He added that the slick cur- rently contains about 756 gallons (2,860 liters) of oil, a figure not confirmed by Brazilian regula- tors, though they have said it has been significantly reduced since Chevron successfully carried out the first stage of capping the well Thursday.

Pol ce blast pepper spray at UC DaVis Occu pyprotesters * McDonald's drops Minn. egg supplier over cruelty charges FDA cites 'serious violations' at five Sparboe Farms facilities MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - McDonald's Corp. said Friday it has dropped a Minnesota-based egg supplier after an animal rights group released an under- cover video of operations at the egg producer's farms in three states. The video by Mercy for Ani- mals shows what the group calls animal cruelty at five Sparboe Farms facilities in Iowa, Min- nesota and Colorado. Its images include a worker swinging a bird around by its feet, hens packed into cramped cages, male chicks being tossed into plastic bags to suffocate and workers cutting off the tips of chick's beaks. "The behavior on tape is dis- turbing and completely unac- ceptable. McDonald's wants to assure our customers that we demand humane treatment of animals by our suppliers," Bob Langert, McDonald's vice presi- dent for sustainability, said in a statement. The move also followed a warning letter to Sparboe Farms dated Wednesday from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that said inspectors found "seri- ous violations" at five Sparboe facilities of federal regulations meant to prevent salmonella. The warning said eggs from those facilities "have been pre- pared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions whereby they may have become contami- nated with filth, or whereby they may have been rendered injurious to health." Sparboe Companies LLC issued a statement calling the video "shocking" and saying an internal investigation identified four employees "who were com- plicit in this disturbing activity" and were fired this month. "I was deeply saddened to see the story because this isn't who Sparboe Farms is," owner and president Beth Sparboe Schnell said in a statement posted on a company website. "Acts depict- ed in the footage are totally unacceptable and completely at odds with our values as egg farmers. In fact, they are in direct violation of our animal care code of conduct, which all of our employees read, sign and follow each day." Sparboe, which is headquar- tered in Litchfield, also said on the website that it has made management changes, taken corrective actions sought by the FDA, and begun retraining all barn workers in proper animal care procedures. University chancellor Katehi blamed for authorizing police intervention SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Pro- testers sitting on the ground sup- porting the Occupy Wall Street movement on the campus of the University of California, Davis took a face full of pepper spray at close range from an officer in riot gear in an incident that was captured on cellphone video and spread virally across the Internet Saturday. UC Davis Chancellor Linda Katehi described the video imag- es as "chilling" and said she was forming a task force to investigate even as a faculty group called for her resignation because of the Fri- day police action. However, a law enforcement official who watched the clip called the use of force "fairly stan- dard police procedure." In the video, an officer dispas- sionately pepper-sprays a line of several sitting protesters who flinch and cover their faces but remain passive with their arms interlocked as onlookers shriek and scream out for the officer to stop. "The use of the pepper spray as shown on the video is chilling to us all and raises many questions about how best to handle situa- tions like this," Chancellor Linda Katehi said in a message posted on the school's website Saturday. The protest was held in support of the overall Occupy Wall Street movement and in solidarity with protesters at the University of Cal- ifornia, Berkeley who were jabbed by police with batons on Nov. 9. The UC Davis video images, which were circulated on You- Tube and widely elsewhere online, prompted immediate out- rage among faculty and students, with the Davis Faculty Associa- tion saying in a letter Saturday that Katehi should resign. "The Chancellor's role is to enable open and free inquiry, not to suppress it," the faculty associa- tion said in its letter. It called Katehi's authorization of police force a "gross failure of leadership." At a news conference later on Saturday, Katehi said what the video shows is "sad and really very inappropriate." The events surrounding the protest have been hard on her personally, but she had no plans to resign, she said. "I do not think that I have vio- lated the policies of the institu- tion. I have worked personally very hard to make this campus a safe campus for all," she said. Katehi remained in a media room for more than two hours after the news conference, even- tually walking to an SUV past a silent group of students nearly three blocks long, many of them holding up signs calling for her to step down, the Sacramento Bee said. The statewide Council of UC Faculty Associations issued a statement Saturday saying "We are outraged that the administra- tions of UC campuses are using police brutality to suppress dis- sent, free speech and peaceful assembly." Charles J. Kelly, a former Balti- more Police Department lieuten- ant who wrote the department's use of force guidelines, said pep- per spray is a "compliance tool" that can be used on subjects who do not resist, and is preferable to simply lifting protesters. "When you start picking up human bodies, you risk hurting them," Kelly said. "Bodies don't have handles on them." 0
