No oil has escaped from the new cap sealing the well and there was no sign of any breach under the sea floor, BP executive Kent Wells said.

PHOENIX — Border governors are going ahead with their annual conference — without Jan Brewer and not in Arizona.
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson said Thursday he is putting together a meeting for Santa Fe in late September. That is close to the same time that Brewer was planning to host the event in Phoenix.
