Oil flow stopped

BP says oil has stopped leaking into the Gulf for the first time since April. BP slowly dialed down the flow as part of a test on a new cap. Engineers are now monitoring the pressure to see if the busted well holds. The 2:25 p.m. CDT shutoff of the oil is a significant milestone in BP's effort to stop the flow of oil and gas.
