5 St. Pius X RCIA Kevin Hernandez is a Candidate in the St. Pius X RCIA Program. Kevin was baptized at St. Simeon Catholic Church in Bellwood. He needs to complete his Sacraments of Initiation: Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation. Kevin will join some of the other members of RCIA at the Easter Vigil, receiving First Eucharist and Confirmation. Reconciliation will take place during Lent. Kevin lives in Villa Park with his parents, a sister, and a brother. His sister, Ashley, is also participating in RCIA, and his brother Daniel is a third grade student in the St. Pius X Faith Formation Program. Kevin attends Willowbrook High School where he is a Senior, planning to attend the College of DuPage after graduation. After completing his basic courses at COD, he hopes to transfer to Northern Illinois University to study for a degree in Business. Joining the RCIA Program marks a return to the Catholic Church for Kevin. Although baptized into the Catholic Church, he and his family, for different reasons, did not attend or belong to a specific Church. Now Kevin and his family are ready to become full members of the Catholic Church, leading to Kevin s participation in RCIA. Kevin is enjoying the classes, I m having fun interacting with others. The topics of the classes have had an effect on Kevin s life. He says he is a much nicer person. I ve changed my personality and look at God. He sees that he is applying his newly deepened faith in active ways, trying to connect and help people with problems, and tell them what is good for you and what is not good for you. The community of St. Pius has made an impression on Kevin as well. There are a lot of friendly people here. He related being at a Friendship Sunday event after Break Out Class, and Sr. Ann greeted him and asked him how he was doing. That one example of reaching out really made an impression on him. Please pray for Kevin and all the participants in the RCIA Program. And don t forget to greet our Catechumen and Candidates when you see them. As you can see from Kevin s response, it really makes a difference! James: Pearls for Wise Living Week of Jan. 27 Session 2: Wisdom and Pure Religion Readings: James 1:19-27 James moves on to the wisdom needed in the daily practice of our faith. What does Christian life look like when it is practiced correctly? What is pure religion? James original audience may have had more trials leading to anger than Christians do today as well as temptations to keep their faith a private matter rather than applying it to their daily life. Many of them were also first generation Jews turned Christians who needed to shift their focus from the Temple and practicing their faith via sacrifice and observance of the Law to the New Covenant of Jesus Christ, the New Temple and practical application of God s Word beginning in the heart. It is important to keep in mind that the Catholic Church understands that word of God refers first and foremost to Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who is the Word made flesh (John 1:1) whereas our Protestant brothers and sisters think of it as referring only to Scripture. God s word is more than just ink on paper. The word of God is living and active (Hebrews 4:12). It has come to us through the preaching and teaching of Jesus and the Apostles, both oral and written; through the inspired writings of the Old Testament; and through God s creative word such as that which gave rise to creation in Genesis 1. Please remember to arrive at least ten minutes prior to your session start time so that sessions may begin on time. If you have any questions about the study, call Kelly Reznicek at or Year of Faith: October 11, 2012 November 24, 2013 Catechism Corner: The Holy Spirit is the principle of every vital and truly saving action in each part of the Body. He works in many ways to build up the whole Body in charity: by God s Word which is able to build you up by Baptism, through which he forms Christ s Body; by the sacraments, which give growth and healing to Christ s members; by the grace of the apostles, which holds first place among his gifts ; by the virtues, which make us act according to what is good; finally, by the many special graces (called charisms ), by which he makes the faithful fit and ready to undertake various tasks and offices for the renewal and building up of the Church.

EL TIEMPO Los días de fiesta ya pasaron, el año se nos viene encima. Y qué clase de año será? De acuerdo con las palabras de Jesús en el Evangelio de hoy, será el año de la gracia del Señor. Y Jesús con seguridad no se refería solamente a los próximos trescientos sesenta y cinco días cuando hablaba a la gente en ese tiempo. El anuncio de la llegada de la gracia de Dios lo hizo Jesús para todos los tiempos, para cada año. De manera similar, leemos hoy en Nehemías cómo la gente se reunía con solemnidad a escuchar la Palabra de Dios como si fuera la primera vez. Escuchaban y luego se postraban con el rostro en la tierra y lloraban. Pero el profeta decía: Este día está dedicado al Señor no estén tristes. El año de la gracia del Señor es este año. El día dedicado al Señor es hoy. El tiempo de escuchar es ahora. Qué clase de año tendrás? Qué clase de día? La ayuda de Dios siempre está aquí. Lo que haces cada día será santo y aceptable al Señor solamente si escuchas y practicas la palabra de Dios. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

As I tweeted this him morning: Seriously… THIS is the hill you want your reputation to die on?
Enhanced video footage of George Zimmerman about 30 minutes after he shot Florida teenager Trayvon Martin shows little evidence of a broken nose, the president of the Florida College of Emergency Physicians said today.
But the video does show what could be an injury to the back of Zimmerman's head.
But Dr. Vidor Friedman, president of the Florida College of Emergency Physicians, remains unconvinced.
"If somebody had been beating his head against concrete I'd think we'd see more obvious scrapes," Friedman said. He also said he would expect to see bandages on Zimmerman's head.
More significantly for Friedman was the condition of Zimmerman's nose.
"All of the ridges in his nose are clearly defined. You would expect significant swelling in the hour or two after a break. There appears to be none. It doesn't look like his nose was broken or badly broken," Friedman said.
Gutman was the same hack that tried to run the police department video last week and claim that we didn't see the head wound that was obvious for all to see. Forced to admit they were caught in a lie, ABC then released an "enhanced video" which did nothing but show what was obvious all along.
Gutman found a doctor willing to diagnose trauma injuries via closed circuit video from a police garage. Does Doctor Gregory House need a new team member? I think we've found their guy!
The guys Gutman couldn't find to interview? The doctor who actually treated him, or the next-door neighbor that saw Zimmerman in person.
"I saw George. He was banged up. His head had two big bandages, that weren't flat, had a bump on them," the neighbor, who did not want to be identified, said.
He described where the injuries were.
"I seen him have a big bandage on his nose and his nose swollen. On the side, where his eyes were at, it was swollen," he said.
He points out exactly where on a picture.
"I seen the bandage right here, and this side of his nose and this side of his nose was swollen.
Nice reporting, Matt. Ever thought about Current TV?

While it's not hard to buy replacement parts for Pontiac vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the highest quality are required to repair your automobile. When your Pontiac Sunbird left the factory, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who wants trustworthy transportation in their automobile. Obviously, you bought your Sunbird because you knew that you wanted horsepower and great value both rolled up into one vehicle. Pontiac vehicle drivers have grown accustomed to a certain level of reliable service when driving their Sunbird around town.
While the wheel dates back about 10,000 years, using it for transportation wasn't possible until a few more components were invented. You may not know this, but your Pontiac Sunbird has a suspension and drive train that is built upon ideas and inventions that are millennia old; including the axle and wheel hub. The wheels are bolted to the wheel hub assembly; providing them with a flat surface that rotates with as little friction as possible. Because your Pontiac Sunbird wheel hub needs to be bolted to a fixed position (wheel carrier) but rotate freely around the axle, a wheel bearing is usually pressed into the center. On some advanced wheel hub assemblies, the ABS ring and sensor will be installed.
Given all the trouble that can be involved with installing a part to fix your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the first place you go to make purchasing it easy. Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. Bring your Sunbird back to life with the highest quality new or rebuilt parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. If your car or truck was built in 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988, 1987, 1986, 1980, then you will find the correct Pontiac Sunbird Wheel Hub & Bearing parts right here.

Hang around with a bunch of athletes long enough and you'll hear them chat about dehydration. It's a go to scapegoat when performances go wrong and, any time the weather forecast has those sunny symbols on the map, it becomes a big locker room discussion point.
In fact, the term 'dehydration' is so deeply embedded in day to day sporting parlance that few athletes ever stop and consider what it actually means from a scientific standpoint and how it's actually measured.
We need to talk about 'dehydration'.
The interesting thing about dehydration is that it's really hard to define and measure in an accurate and meaningful way, even if you have access to some pretty sophisticated technologies.
For example, the 'gold standard' lab measurement for total body water involves ingesting radioactive isotopes that are diluted into body fluids and traced over time. Yes, you read that correctly, I said radioactive! This is hardly something most athletes can (or would want to) do on a regular basis. And it doesn't even give you the full story on your hydration status, as total body water is not the only piece of the puzzle. This method tells you little about the distribution of those fluids across the various body compartments, for example.
Other lab-based methods include the use of 'bioelectrical impedance technology' which is notoriously fickle and the measurement of the concentration of body fluids, but these require the fiddly and invasive collection and analysis of blood, urine or saliva. Not something most athletes fancy adding to their routine.
Although the loss of body water above a certain level can definitely have a (potentially very) negative impact on performance, pinning down exactly what that level is is far from a simple task.
So, how can you tell if you're dehydrated?
Well, to get started on figuring this out, it's worth clarifying a couple of key terms:
Euhydration is the state of the body in optimal fluid balance.
Hypohydration is the state of the body when in negative fluid balance.
I'm going to dig a bit deeper in to what those terms actually mean for the athlete, but if you're short on time and just want know how to measure your hydration status, you can skip down to the "How to measure your hydration status' section.
Let's start with euhydration.
This is the 'proper' term for what people would usually describe as being 'well hydrated'. It means that body fluid levels are optimal.
This is essentially the state you want to be in when you start exercising, to make sure you can perform at your best.
And it's the state you need to return to post-exercise in order to be fully recovered (from a hydration point of view) and ready to go at it again. As a side note hyperhydration — where body fluid levels are elevated slightly above euhydration — is also of interest to athletes, but I'll deal with that in a future post...
Variations in body size from athlete to athlete mean that there's no fixed volume of fluid that can be used as a yardstick to indicate euhydration. Even percentage of total body weight measurements are somewhat useless, as different body tissues contain varying levels of water.
Notably, fat cells contain a lot less water (~10%) than muscle cells (~73%) so an obese person who weighs 100kg will carry a lot less total water than a bodybuilder of the same weight when they are both euhydrated. In other words, someone with high levels of body fat could be as little as 50% water overall and someone very muscular could be closer to 70%.
So your 'euhydrated state' is very personalised and is dictated by both your body size and composition.
To further complicate matters, your body fluid levels are never static either. Water is constantly being lost in sweat, urine, breathing, tears, saliva and so on and being gained through what you eat, drink and as a by-product of chemical reactions in the body (You effectively manufacture some water in your body when two hydrogen and one oxygen atoms bind as an offshoot of some metabolic processes).
Those fluids are also in constant motion within the body itself, moving from the stomach to the gut and into the blood stream, into the kidneys and the bladder, and more generally between intra- and extra-cellular compartments. For this reason, any measurement of body water that is taken, no matter how accurate, is really just a snapshot of your hydration level at a single moment in time and cannot account for where all of the water inside you is, just that it is 'there'.
The phrase "like nailing jelly to a wall" seems apt right about now.
Despite all of these moving parts, the good news is that your body (presuming it is in a good state of health) is really incredibly adept at working out and maintaining its euhydrated state.
In fact, given free access to water to drink and without suffering uncharacteristically large losses through sickness, diarrhoea, excessive sweating, or blood loss, the body tends to regulate water levels to about +/- 0.5% on a day to day basis. It mostly does this by making you thirsty when you need to top up your fluid levels, and by making you want to pee out any excess that might otherwise build up in the face of excess consumption. That's good old evolution for you.
Then, there's hypohydration...
Hypohydraton is a state that occurs when your body fluid levels drop significantly below the small normal day to day fluctuations that characterise euhydration.
In practice this is when you lose around 1% or more of your total body fluid.
Most people use the term 'dehydration' to describe this situation, but if we're being picky, dehydration actually refers to the process of losing body water, hypohydration is the state in which we find ourselves when those losses become significant.
Hypohydration is of interest to athletes because we often subject our bodies to high levels of sweat loss; and therefore many of us move between states of euhydration and significant hypohydration on a very regular basis.
Whilst small losses of body water are corrected quickly and easily with normal drinking and eating habits, fluid losses of more than 4% bodyweight (as can easily occur in hard training sessions or races) can take over 24 hours to fully replace. And this has obvious implications for anyone training very hard on back to back days, competing in multi-stage events, or trying to recover quickly from big races. It can also require some level of proactive effort to ensure replenishment happens and a fluid/electrolyte deficit does not start to build up over time and hamper performance and recovery.
Ok, so now we understand what euhydration and hypohydration are, the more important thing is to understand how to figure out what state we're in at any given point in time...
How to measure your hydration status.
Accurate measurement of body fluid levels to identify euhydration or hypohydration (without the use of radioactive isotopes or taking blood samples) is essentially impossible. Instead, there are various methods employed in the 'real world' that can give a good enough estimate of hydration status...
1) Body weight change.
Short-term changes in body weight are commonly used to evaluate fluctuations in hydration level from day to day.
This method presumes that acute weight loss (especially that which occurs around bouts of exercise and sweating) correlates closely with acute fluid loss. This assumption has proved to be pretty accurate much of the time. Where it can sometimes fall down is in the face of very large losses and intakes of fluid in short spaces of time. For example, you might consume 2 litres of fluid, during or after a bout of heavy sweating, to try and replace what you lost. But all of this may not actually be absorbed by the body even if it sits in your stomach and temporarily shows up on the scales before it is peed out without actually impacting your hydration status in a meaningful way.
This method also relies on you having reliable data on what your normal, euhydrated, body weight is. So it does require some regular weighing and recording of that to keep tabs on the number. Overall this means of assessing body weight change can be a helpful indicator of hydration status, even it's not completely foolproof.
2) Urine production and concentration/colour.
Monitoring the amount you pee and its colour is often recommended to athletes looking to monitor their hydration status. It assumes urine production will increase and will be more dilute at times when the body is closer to euhydration and that production will drop (and concentration will increase/colour darken) as hypohydration kicks in.
Like bodyweight change, when all other factors are equal, urine colour can indeed be a reasonably good indicator of hydration status, but it too can be confounded in certain circumstances.
Things that decrease the reliability of urine colour as a marker include: consumption of diuretics like caffeine or alcohol that artificially ramp up urine production; excess urine production that can occur with sudden, large increases in fluid consumption (where intake vastly exceeds absorption rates); and the lag time that can occur in the body with release of hormones that control how much you urinate, at times when large fluid losses happen in short spaces of time.
One important thing to mention about using urine colour and volume on its own to monitor hydration status is that it often fails to address, or highlight, the downside of drinking too much.
As urine production just ramps up and the pee becomes more dilute the more you drink, some athletes seem to think that passing more and more clear urine is a positive sign. In fact, they could be diluting their body's electrolyte stores and encouraging the dangerous condition of hyponatremia if they take things too far.
For this reason, we often find ourselves talking to athletes about the fact that urinating very clear liquid all the time and in large quantities could be a sign of excessive fluid consumption, and that dialling intake back a bit in those circumstances can be an excellent idea.
3) Thirst.
The role of thirst in the assessment and management of hydration status has long been a subject of debate in the world of sports science, with wildly varying opinions and no firm consensus in sight.
The 'conventional' viewpoint, based on many lab studies from the 1980s and 90s, was that thirst is a very unreliable indicator of hydration status as it typically doesn't kick in until most people are around 2% hypohydrated. Some argue that by the time this happens, performance is already compromised.
More recently this idea has been vigorously challenged with evidence collected 'in the field'. And quite rightly too. More recent data shows that when athletes start exercising when euhydrated (in a balanced state) and can choose when and how much to drink, many develop levels of hypohydration (negative balance) that go beyond 2%, without a noticeable decline in performance.
However, although drinking to thirst is a much better way to manage hydration status and performance than once believed, it is not sensitive enough to be relied upon fully, or in all circumstances.
This is especially apparent when fluid losses are extremely high over extended periods. Or in novice athletes, who are generally less attuned to listen to their bodies during exercise and to responding appropriately to their instincts during stressful situations.
WUT you looking at?
So, the good news is that there are three reasonably good and practical markers available to you to help you monitor your hydration status.
But, because none of these indicators are entirely accurate on their own, some clever people in the US Army came up with the idea of combining all three measures to produce a more reliable rating scale called the WUT system (Weight, Urine, Thirst). This establishes the likelihood of you being euhydrated ('well hydrated') or hypohydrated ('dehydrated').
Essentially their suggestion is to monitor your body weight, the colour of your urine and how thirsty you are first thing each morning. The 'first thing in the morning' element is important as it limits the influence of other factors that interfere with hydration status as the day progresses.
You then feed the results into a simple Venn diagram to give you an indication of whether hypohydration is unlikely, likely or very likely as you begin that day.
The data you need to collect each morning is:
- Your body weight. Ideally as soon as you get out of bed, before eating, drinking or going to the bathroom. A loss of 2% or more of your body weight is deemed significant.
- A rating of the colour of your urine (is it light or dark in colour)
- A rating of your sensation of thirst (thirsty or not thirsty)
If 1 or less of the 3 scores you collect are 'positive' (i.e. body weight is within 2% of normal and/or urine is light and/or and you're not thirsty), then hypohydration ('dehydration') would be deemed unlikely.
If 2 out of the 3 are positive, then hypohydration would be considered 'likely' and this might impact your fluid intake and training plans for the day, especially if you were planning very hard or prolonged exercise in the heat.
If 3 out of the 3 are positive then hypohydration is very likely and therefore strong consideration should be given to correcting that before you undergo strenuous exercise or expose yourself to further large sweat losses.
The beauty of this 'WUT' system is how easy it is to implement. It pools quite basic information to give you a much firmer indication of hydration status than any single measure can on its own. Using this approach regularly and over time, it's possible to tune into your body's hydration status and become more adept at predicting the outcome of the WUT score before you undertake the test. In the long run, this helps you to become more accurate in your perception of your own hydration status and this makes it more likely that you'll be able to maintain it within parameters that'll allow you to perform at your best when training and competing.

Gabriella: June 12, 2017
This post was a little disappointing as I hoped for a precise hydration measure. It tells me when I need to rehydrate but is it impossible to measure your hydration levels accurately?
I'm interested in learning how my hydration levels fluctuate depending on the amount of intake. I feel that my body has difficulty absorbing fluids.
How else could I know how effective my body is using its fluids and how to improve retention?
Robin Faulkner: February 19, 2017
firstly why are there no other comments to such a straight forward and informative post.
Thank you very much.
We have started a conversation in our club as recently an "expert" in table tennis has been talking about how to eat and drink during a tournament and we think they are giving bad advice and so we are looking for back up to our opinion and along with that sound and appropriate advice we can pass on to,in particular, our young players who regularly compete in tournaments that can typically last all day with periods of intense competition followed by recovery time before another intense period and of course hopefully finishing with the most intense period of competition the final and so having taken on the correct fuel and hydration can become increasingly important to reduce brain and physical fade.

Below is the entire text of Merlyn's Study on Joe Marks.
Joe Marks
Driven by his lust to overcome his father's fame, Joe Marks is a rather intriguing character, but at his core is rather simple.
Chapter I
Joe ranks very poorly on the Testosterone Side Economics PPC Chart.
See, Joe sucks
If the PPC Chart could be negative, Joe would be negative. Pure friendship, no sex, I feel the subject is driven more by food than by sex though. The subject is only 15, however, and may not even have reached puberty. This complicates matters.
Chapter II
The thesis of a food driven behavior led to my creation of the word "CuliQueer" ( a mix of Culinary and Queer ). This thesis is based on my experience of watching Joe interact with females. 80% of the time, he will only seriously sit down and "talk" with a girl if she has food. Through deductible reasoning, I concluded that Joe's favorite food is Mexican food. This is based on his fascination with David Palacios. A..."larger" mexican, it is obvious that David has eaten quite a bit of Mexican food in his life. Joe was originally turned on to Dave, but through my affiliations with Dave (lover) and the subject's realization that if Dave were skinny, only then would their be food left over for Joe. So Joe moved on. While in search of his next "meal ticket" he was provided with countless opportunities to traverse the PPC Chart. I myself took part in daily rituals to "hook up" the subject with girls who showed even remote interest in Joe. But he declined all offers. Much to my astonishment, Joe's lust for mexican food (which was unknown to me at the time) led him to ask out the lesser attractive mexican sister of a trifecta of short wierd little minorities. My reasoning is that, because of the small shape of the female, their is a surplus of mexican food. Thus his quest began. But unexpectadly, the sister refused him. This relates directly to the PPC Chart, and is an example of the sister's knowledge of TSE . She knows through this, if Joe were to ask again he would appear desperate and be easy to manipulate. In a TSE, this is known as "pussy-whipped". But, due to the lack of "pussy", Joe was merely "whipped".
Chapter III
All of this combined leans toward a "secular" view on the public economy as opposedd to the popular "balls-first" view, used by many jocks, blacks, and well, 90% of the male population. Don't be confused by the numbers. Joe's lifestyle and view is not by choice. He is not a part of the 10% to be cool, but rather because he has to, because of his evangelical mother. Any deviation from the normalcy of the highly-Christian, Corporate Whoring Capitalist promotion is condsidered sinful, and immediatly struck down. Any ideas of "liberalism" is immediate condemnation to hell, (through the eyes of his mother) and through his father's endless years of supporting the Corporate Death Machine, Joe is instilled with a work-aholic Christian view. Also, through his father's relations with Joe's teachers, this leads Joe to be a kiss ass out of fear of his dad, (who has a mustache) instead of fulfilling his own desires. Based on Joe's physical stature, the subject has very high metabolism considering his lifelong habbits of video games and junk food. He may have ADD, and he is Hyper-Active (this would help with burning the calories) and he is spontaneous. But also somewhat lazy. No desire to try "new" things. This relates to his fascination with Nintendo. Nintendo's overuse of and fear of abandoning the famed character Mario is idealic of Joe, who only tries the same things over and over."

ON THE GULF OF MEXICO (AP) A remote-controlled submarine shot a chemical dispersant into the maw of a massive undersea oil leak Monday, further evidence that authorities expect the gusher to keep erupting into the Gulf of Mexico for weeks or more.
Crews using the deep-sea robot attempted to thin the oil which is rushing up from the seabed at a pace of about 210,000 gallons (795,000 liters) per day after getting approval from the Environmental Protection Agency, BP spokesman Mark Proegler told The Associated Press.
The agency had halted two previous rounds of the dispersant to test its potential impact on the environment, and approved a third round of spraying that began early Monday, Proegler said. The EPA said in a statment the effects of the chemicals were still widely unknown.
REGULATION: Oil companies fought stricter rules
FULL COVERAGE: The latest on the oil spill
IMAGES: Disaster in photos
BP engineers, casting about after an ice buildup thwarted their plan to siphon off most of the leak using a 100-ton containment box, pushed ahead with other potential short-term solutions, including using a smaller box and injecting the leak with junk to plug it.
However, none of these have been tried so deep about a mile (a kilometer and a half) down.
Workers were simultaneously drilling a relief well, the solution considered most permanent, but that was expected take up to three months.
At least 3.5 million gallons (13.3 million liters) were believed to have leaked since an April 20 drilling rig blast killed 11. If the gusher continues unabated, in about a month it would surpass the 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster as the worst U.S. oil spill.
The engineers appear to be "trying anything people can think of" to stop the leak, said Ed Overton, a Louisiana State University professor of environmental studies.
Back on land, National Guard helicopters ferried loads of 1-ton sandbags to plug gaps in barrier islands that have been lapped at by a sheen of oil. The effort to bolster the islands was meant to safeguard the area's vulnerable wetlands. Authorities also planned to use south Louisiana's system of locks and levees to release water to help keep the worst of the oil at sea.
BP which is responsible for the cleanup said Monday the spill has cost it $350 million so far for immediate response, containment efforts, commitments to the Gulf Coast states, and settlements and federal costs. The company did not speculate on the final bill, which most analysts expect to run into tens of billions of dollars.
Among plans under consideration for the gusher, BP is looking at cutting the riser pipe, which extends from the well, undersea and using larger piping to bring the gushing oil to a drill ship on the surface, a tactic considered difficult and less desirable because it will increase the flow of oil.
Above the oil leak, waves of dark brown and black sludge crashed into the support ship Joe Griffin. The fumes there were so intense that a crewmember and an AP photographer on board had to wear respirators while on deck.
Philip Johnson, a petroleum engineering professor at the University of Alabama, said cutting the riser pipe and slipping a larger pipe over the cut end could conceivably divert the flow of oil to the surface.
"That's a very tempting option," he said. "The risk is when you cut the pipe, the flow is going to increase. ... That's a scary option, but there's still a reasonable chance they could pull this off."
Dime- to golfball-sized balls of tar washed up over the weekend on Dauphin Island, three miles (five kilometers) off the Alabama mainland at the mouth of Mobile Bay and much farther east than the thin, rainbow sheens that have arrived sporadically in the Louisiana marshes.
The containment box plan had been designed to divert up to 85% of the leaking oil to a tanker at the surface. Icelike hydrates, a slushy mixture of gas and water, clogged the opening in the top of the peaked box like sand in a funnel, only upside-down.
The blowout aboard the rig, which was being leased by BP, was triggered by a bubble of methane gas that escaped from the well and shot up the drill column, expanding quickly as it burst through several seals and barriers before exploding, according to interviews with rig workers conducted during BP's internal investigation. Deep sea oil drillers often encounter pockets of methane crystals as they dig into the earth.

According to reports in Italy, Roma are keen on Spurs' wantaway striker Roman Pavlyuchenko and are ready to offer Baptista in return for the Russian.
"There is no truth in these reports claiming he is set for an exchange in January," Herminio Menendez told romannews.eu.
"Julio is currently away with the national side.
"Any possible discussion is postponed until the future."
The former Arsenal forward has been linked with a move away from the Stadio Olimpico since the summer.
Baptista scored nine goals in 27 league appearances for the Giallorossi last season.
However, he has struggled in his second campaign in Rome and has yet to find the back of the net in five Serie A appearances.
The 28-year-old is under contract with Roma until June 2012.Reuse content

The relationship that the clownfish has with a sea anemone is truly a wonderful design feature.
The relationship that the clownfish has with a sea anemone is truly a wonderful design feature. Very early in life, the clownfish must find a host with which to live. The sea anemone with its stinging tentacles is the perfect place for the easily preyed upon clownfish. However, the clownfish must develop a mucous that covers its body to protect it from the stings of the sea anemone. This mucous develops quickly after the clownfish brushes against the sea anemone. Once the mucous is completely formed, the clownfish is no longer prone to the effects of the sea anemone's tentacles. The sea anemone gives protection to the clownfish, and the clownfish helps feed, oxygenate, and remove waste materials from the sea anemone. This relationship shows God's creative hand in His creation.
