US releases Cuban man jailed for spying
The US has freed a Cuban agent it jailed for spying on Cuban exiles but will keep him in the country on probation for three years.Rene Gonzalez, 55, the first to be freed of the so-called "Cuban Five" espionage agents arrested in 1998, left the Marianna prison in Florida's northwest Panhandle at around 4am EDT (0900 GMT) on Friday. Gonzalez had served 13 years of a 15-year sentence. Cuba's government says putting him on probation puts him at risk from possible reprisals by the Cuban exiles on whom he was convicted of spying.
Havana argues Gonzalez and his fellow agents were working undercover in Florida to stop "terrorist" attacks on Cuba by hardline anti-communist Cuban exiles.
"In US territory, Rene is in danger, in whatever corner of the United States," Gonzalez's wife, Olga Salanueva, told Reuters in Cuba."Rene is a man who has served his time, he has a right to go home and his home is Cuba."
The Evolution of the Web
The web today is a growing universe of interlinked web pages and web apps, teeming with videos, photos, and interactive content. What the average user doesn't see is the interplay of web technologies and browsers that makes all this possible.
Over time web technologies have evolved to give web developers the ability to create new generations of useful and immersive web experiences. Today's web is a result of the ongoing efforts of an open web community that helps define these web technologies, like HTML5, CSS3 and WebGL and ensure that they're supported in all web browsers.An irate customer came into to the computer store I work at

Déjà vu.
After all, the symptoms seem to line up:
A flu-like illness. Dizziness. Nausea. Nosebleeds. Vomiting. Headaches. Coughing. Difficulty breathing. Many of the same things she experienced two decades ago; some of the same things she still experiences today.
"I had an upset stomach all the time. I was throwing up, fainting, I was having trouble with my lungs," Savage said. It's been 21 years. She said her health has improved over the past two decades, but still, "everything is not back to normal. It's still difficult to breathe."
Then, like now, workers were assured by the oil company and the government that tests had been performed to check for harmful chemicals, and that the levels found were permissible by federal standards and were no cause for concern. (On its website, the EPA says it is "concerned about the potential for long-term health problems related to the spill," and that it continues to monitor the air for toxic compounds.)
Then, like now, volatile organic compounds such as benzene (PDF) were among the toxic chemical compounds found in air samples, but levels were low, and such chemicals are generally believed to evaporate quickly.
And then, like now, there were questions of whether appropriate safety equipment was provided.
What's needed here are not fear tactics, but more data from scientists, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and others.
( Lovely. The science - what there is of it - is a football at the best of times, let alone when projecting how much damage has been caused by polluting a place with toxins which amplify the effects of crude poisoning.
The FDA is worse than a farce. But what can you expect of people for whom conventional wisdom is 'show the harm' rather than 'keep safe' - and the 'wisdom of the crowd' is for sale.
Yet - there is precedent and context.
Health of Exxon Valdez cleanup workers was never studied

Exxon Valdez oil spill
Former Valdez Cleanup Worker Warns of Toxic Dangers in the Gulf
Merle Savage, then a healthy 50-year-old, had heard the news about Exxon Valdez. Compelled to help, she spent four months cleaning up Alaska's oil-contaminated waters and shores.
She has never been the same since. Now 71, Savage still feels the toll that summer took on her health, but as she watches the reports coming out of the Gulf, she's felt something else:Déjà vu.

We've reached out to the EPA, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, OSHA and the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals to obtain better figures on worker health complaints and hospitalizations related to the Gulf oil spill. We have yet to hear back.
Savage has written a book, Silence in the Sound, about her experience as a female general foreman cleaning up a historic oil spill.

The Escalation of BP's Liability
Al Jazeera feature
Al Jazeera has covered this subject extensively, and, given that BP has just confirmed filing a plan with US regulators to pursue its first deepwater oil work in the Gulf of Mexico since the April 2010 disaster, concerns of future problems persist. According to BP's application, the company wants to drill four new wells at a depth of 1770 metres (244 metres deeper than the Macondo well) in an area approximately 300km off the Louisiana coast.
