Investors fear Hayward's continued presence at the company will make it harder for BP to rebuild its reputation in the United States, where 40 percent of its assets are based.

A relief well, which should permanently plug the well, is expected to be completed in the coming weeks. BP will finish placing the last bit of pipe sometime in the next week, the top U.S. official overseeing the spill response said.

"The details are being worked out," one source said.

BP's board is due to meet in London tomorrow to discuss a plan for Hayward to step down and be replaced by Bob Dudley, a senior U.S. executive who is currently managing the oil spill response operation, the sources said.

Replacing Hayward, who provoked public anger in the United States with his gaffes, including a statement that he wanted his life back, and later going sailing as oil spewed into the sea, carries a risk at this point.

As remnants of Bonnie dissipated over the Gulf on Saturday, retired Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen, head of the U.S. spill response, said a "static kill" operation to plug the well by pumping in heavy drilling mud and possibly cement could start in three to five days.

RELIEF WELL NEARS COMPLETION

But a BP spokesman declined to repeat the company's statements from last week that the board was not even discussing Hayward's future.

BP, which has lost 40 percent of its market capitalization since the blast that caused the spill, would not comment on the reports and said Hayward remained the CEO, with the full support of the board and management.

Although vessels were returning to the site on Sunday, Allen said the storm could push back BP's mid-August target date for completing it by seven to nine days.

However, with the well sealed for over a week by a temporary cap, the board's concern has shifted to the public and market's preoccupation with Hayward's future, which is making it hard for the company to move forward,Ed hardy Shoes, the sources said.

"The static kill could go very quickly,Prada," Allen said.

LONDON/HOUSTON (Reuters) – BP Plc has decided Chief Executive Tony Hayward should step down over his handling of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill and his departure is likely to be announced in the next 36 hours, sources close to the company said on Sunday.

Though toothless in the end, Bonnie prompted oil and natural gas producers to evacuate many offshore workers, halting more than half of the oil production in U.S.-regulated areas of the Gulf and about 25 percent of gas output.

BP sealed the leak July 15 with a tight-fitting containment cap, choking off the flow of oil for the first time since an April 20 rig explosion killed 11 workers and sent crude spewing into the Gulf, soiling coastlines in five U.S. states and devastating tourism and fishery industries.

As the bad weather passed, the independent administrator running a $20 billion fund set up by BP to compensate people for financial losses from the spill said the energy giant was holding up payments to economic victims.

"I have a concern that BP is stalling claims. … I doubt they are stalling for money. It's not that. I just don't think they know the answers to the questions" from claimants, Kenneth Feinberg told reporters on Saturday in Alabama.

Thousands of businesses in Gulf Coast states have been crippled by the spill, the worst in U.S. history. BP agreed to set up the $20 billion fund under pressure from President Barack Obama.

At a town hall meeting in southern Alabama, fishermen and other business owners told Feinberg that they were frustrated and angry about what they said was a slow and complex claims process that lacks transparency.

"After today there will be no more business as usual. I learned today the depth of frustration in people here on the coast," Feinberg told the meeting.

A Transocean Ltd rig was reconnecting equipment, a BP spokeswoman said. Other vessels that had left the region Friday to get out of the path of what was Tropical Storm Bonnie were also returning.

As the boardroom drama intensified, clearing weather in the spill zone allowed work to resume on drilling a relief well to plug the leak that has been spewing oil into the Gulf for some three months.

The Macondo well, which has been sealed with a temporary cap after leaking up to 60,000 barrels per day into the sea, has not been shut off for good and if problems arise in achieving this, Dudley's reputation could also be tarnished.

Hayward has accepted it is in the best interests of BP for him to go, the sources said.

This $80 LadyBug shoe has black and silver — mixed! — sequins. The heel height is not unwalkable, so no fear that you’re going to have to slip into another pair of shoes after a few steps in these! Plus, I also like the fact that a sparkled,American eagle, sequined pump can live on forever. After all, when have you heard of sequins going out of style?

Sometimes it’s just great to have the sparkle on my feet and leave the rest solid and simple. I love this with jeans, with a pencil skirt or with a nice slimming dress.

"The numbers are slightly better than expected and earnings in the second half would be quite impressive again as chip prices, a major earnings driver for Samsung, are unlikely to fall sharply."

LEE SEUNG-WOO, HEAD OF TECH TEAM, SHINYOUNG SECURITIES

"Semiconductor prices were slightly higher than expected and are expected to continue to record highs in the third quarter. Due to the rise of competition in the mobile phone sector, we expected mobile phone sales to be weaker this quarter, but they were quite high as well. The mobile phone business is quite promising and recovery in LCD prices is expected to create a positive outlook for Samsung."

JAY KIM, ANALYST, MIRAE ASSET SECURITIES

"The impact from the euro zone crisis (on demand) must have been mostly offset by resilient demand from the rest of the world, especially from the United States."

"Higher profit margins appear to have contributed to the performance in the second quarter despite relatively weak shipments. I think this brisk trend will continue through the third quarter, when I expect another 5-10 percent rise in operating profit from the second quarter."

"Profits will peak out in the third quarter and then gradually decrease from the fourth quarter…There are a few risk factors that could hit earnings, such as a slow recovery in the smartphone business, a potential surge in the won and macroeconomic conditions, but overall the picture is quite positive."

MICHAEL ON, MANAGING DIRECTOR, BEYOND ASSET MANAGEMENT, TAIPEI

"Smartphone sales are pretty good now, so the guidance on record profit is not a surprise for me. But the second half could be a problem and that's because demand in Europe might slow and hurt sales of memory chips and panels. Its profits in the second half won't be as good as the first half."

"The European market demand for finished goods is decreasing, which could hurt earnings, but it must be kept in mind that more than half of Samsung Electronics' profitability comes from component products such as chips, for which demand is still strong. I expect stronger figures for the next quarter with increased demand in chips and the successful launch of its Galaxy smartphone."

Samsung (005930.KS), also the world's largest maker of flat screen TVs, estimated its April-June operating profit at a median 5.0 trillion won ($4.09 billion),New Era, higher than a consensus forecast of 4.8 trillion won polled by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

BENJAMIN BAN, ANALYST, DAISHIN SECURITIES

DAVID CHOI, ANALYST, KTB SECURITIES

"Earnings came out very strong,Chanel, even slightly better than the market had expected. However I am a bit cautious on the third quarter outlook, given the current European (debt) situation. A weaker euro may dampen European appetite for electronics, given that Samsung bases its product prices in dollars."

"Our six month target price on Samsung Elec is 975,000 won for now."

"Samsung's share price has some upward room with the brisk earnings prospects and despite the euro zone worries. The (euro zone crisis) impact on stock prices of technology companies appears to have faded by June."

Following are some reactions from fund managers and analysts:

SEOUL (Reuters) – Samsung Electronics, the world's No.1 memory chip maker, said it was on course to report a record quarterly profit, powered by robust sales of memory chips and flat screens in a strong consumer electronics market.

Monk Zhang Wenping, 43, was arrested Thursday in Hohhot, capital of the Inner Mongolia region, the Xinhua report said, citing a police spokesman in Wuhai city where the hospice is located.

In a separate case, a U.S.-based group that monitors China’s underground churches said an underground bishop, Jia Zhiguo, has been released from his latest detention by authorities.

BEIJING – A Catholic monk has confessed to stabbing to death a priest and a nun whose bodies were found at the hospice in northern China where they worked, state media said Friday.

Zhang Wenping, like the victims, was also a member of the unauthorized church, said Zhang Pengyao, a local priest in the official church, who confirmed the arrest.

At the time, the Vatican denounced his detention and the detentions of other underground priests in China, saying it hurt the Vatican’s efforts to improve relations with the Chinese government.

Phones in the administration department of the Wuhai police rang unanswered Friday.

The statement said it was the 13th time Jia had been detained since January 2004.

Christians worshipping in China’s independent churches are believed to number upward of 60 million, compared with about 20 million people who worship in the state church, according to numbers provided by scholars and church activists.

Zhang Wenping told police that he had personal grudges against the priest and nun, Xinhua reported. It did not give details.

China’s Communist government allows worship only in state-approved churches,Juicy Couture swimwear, but many Catholics belong to unregistered congregations. Such “house churches” are subjected to varying degrees of harassment by authorities.

The Cardinal Kung Foundation said in a statement that Jia, who is based in the northern province of Hebei, was released Wednesday about 15 months after being detained.

Priest Zhang Shulai and nun Wei Yanhui were both members of China’s unauthorized church, the official Xinhua News Agency reported. A report by AsiaNews,Christian Dior, a missionary news agency close to the Vatican, said their bodies were found in a pool of blood after they failed to show up for morning Mass on Tuesday.
