“Top Kill” Procedure Seems to be Working on the Gulf Oil Spill
An announcement was made on Thursday that BP’s latest crazily named tactic — the “top kill” which we reported on earlier this week — seems to be working to stop the flow of oil the Gulf of Mexico. They initiated the plan yesterday, which involved shooting a dense liquid at high pressures into the five story tall drill pipes on the ocean floor, slowing the flow of oil and then plugging the hole with cement. It didn’t sound too promising a plan to us but according to reports, the drilling structure has been successfully blocked and the flow of oil stopped. If they are able to plug the oil with cement it will be deemed a success.

Renovating from top-to-bottom was exactly planned but, given the circumstances, I’m trying to get excited for the changes.
