Gulf of Mexico oil clean-up continues

A car with an advertisement for oil clean-up is parked at the beach on Dauphin Island, Alabama May 9, 2010, one day after tar balls washed ashore there. Oil workers, volunteers and the military have been battling to shut off a gushing oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico and stop the huge spreading slick from reaching major ports, tourist beaches, wildlife refuges and fishing grounds.
