Apparently, the latest attempt to cap the spill and siphon off oil is working. Let's hope that it's true, and that it keeps working!

Was that a Dan Rather report on 60 minutes? Just asking?

Tar Balls are found regularly and these have not been identified as being from the spill. Not saying they aren't, but the tracking information so far does not show the oil in the loop current yet, but it is very close.

So it seems that the tarballs found in the Keys are unrelated.
