Defermation was was a typo for deformation. I never said he was cleared I said if he was he could sue which he could. The "victims" have painted the picture that JJ was an agitator in the fight. If it is true that he was merely trying to make peace. Than the "victims" have deformed JJ character therefore he can sue the victims for deformation of character

More please.

A recent UF RB commit (don't remember his name), who was a strong lean to AU, committed to UF b/c Meyer told him that Auburn was going on probation for paying Cam.

Try O'Brien's oil pollution services in Slidell. They are likely the lead.

Dispersants will no doubt significantly reduce the amount of time for mother nature to take care of the oil. The oil (carbon-based) will naturally break down in the environment. The dispersants break the oil up into tiny droplets or particles which increases the surface area with which natural forces can break it down into carbon and hydrogen. There is evidence that proves the benefits of dispersants. Scientific evidence to the contrary is inconclusive at best. I promise you, MMS, USCG, BP, and TransOcean all want the same thing as you and I....clean this up as quickly and with as little environmental impact as possible.

I wouldn't put too much stock into Charter.

Some valid questions are addressed in the article, but also the oh so common scare language. IMO, the most important quotes are below:

"“One of the most difficult decisions that oil spill responders and natural resource managers face during a spill is evaluating the trade-offs associated with dispersant use,” said the Academy report, titled Oil Spill Dispersants, Efficacy and Effects. “There is insufficient understanding of the fate of dispersed oil in aquatic ecosystems.”

“There is a certain amount of toxicity,” said Robin Rorick, director of marine and security operations at the American Petroleum Institute. “We view dispersant use as a tool in a toolbox. It’s a function of conducting a net environmental benefit analysis and determining the best bang for your buck.”

And yes, it is biodegradable and has low toxicity. MMS/Coast Guard would not approve it otherwise.

Pretty sure Corexit is being used both on surface and at source. It is only mildly effective on the surface in this instance because all of the volatiles and light ends have already broken up on its way up the water column (remember the oil has to travel through a mile of water before it reaches the surface). As such, it is rather emulsified by the time it reaches the surface. Corexit is one of the only approved dispersants and is industry standard. Yes, it was developed by exxon.
