Top hats.' 'Top kills.' Berms. Booms. As the attempts to plug the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico become more complex, so do the terms. We break down the jargon that you might come across as you follow the story.
1. Berms: A wall or barrier of sand usually used to protect against flooding along coasts, but now it's being considered to stop oil from washing up on Gulf Coast beaches.
Context: For nearly two weeks [Louisiana Gov. Bobby] Jindal has asked the [U.S. Army] Corps [of Engineers] to approve a plan to dredge sand berms off the coast in an attempt to keep oil from reaching inland marshes.
The Christian Science Monitor: BP oil spill pushes Louisiana to desperate, massive 'berm' plan
2. Blowout preventer: A large valve at the top of a well that can be closed to stop oil from gushing into the sea in the event of a problem or when the oil rig sank a month ago, triggering the leak.
Context: BP, the well's majority owner, has been trying to stop the flow by using remote-controlled submarines to activate a valve atop the well. But the valve, known as a blowout preventer, is not working.

Manchas de petróleo se desparraman por la costa del Golfo - News from The Associated Press
News from The Associated Press,Panama City Beach, Florida, 08/06/2010 10:47 EDT, extracto/excerpt.-
El derrame de petróleo en el Golfo de México no ha creado una sola mancha, sino muchas que acosan a los varios estados de la costa. En los delicados pantanos de la costa de Luisiana, el crudo, espeso como pasta, sofoca los juncos y atrapa a los pelícanos.
Burbujas de alquitrán del tamaño de una moneda al de un plato manchan las arenas blancas en Alabama y el noroeste de Florida. En Misisipí no se ve nada raro, excepto la ausencia de turistas, pero al oeste de Tampa, en la Florida, una capa aceitosa verde cubre la superficie marina.
'Ya no nos estamos enfrentando a un derrame grande y único', dijo el lunes el almirante de la Guardia Costera Thad Allen en la Casa Blanca. 'Enfrentamos una suma de cientos y miles de manchas de crudo que van en muchas direcciones distintas'
