Obama supporters."It's a song," Carney said. "The president's not communicating
with Jay-Z over this trip."Several Florida lawmakers had lashed out at the
couple, and the administration, over the trip. U.S. law bans tourism by
Americans to Cuba, though there are exceptions for certain cultural trips.Sen.
Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said in a statement earlier this week: "U.S. law
clearly bans tourism to Cuba by American citizens because it provides money
to a cruel, repressive and murderous regime. Since their inception, the
Obama Administration's 'people to people' cultural exchange programs have
been abused by tourists who have no interest in the Cuban people's
freedom and either don't realize or don't care that they're essentially
funding the regime's systematic trampling of people's human rights."The
Treasury Department clarified in a letter earlier this week that the couple
traveled to Cuba under an "education exchange trip" organized by another
group. The department said it handles authorizing these trips.

ch everywhere but Caracas, the capital. Worsening power
outages, crumbling infrastructure and other unfulfilled promises witnessed
this week in a trip through the country's industrial heartland could be
an important factor in Sunday's election to replace socialist President
Hugo Chavez, who died last month after a long battle with cancer.His
political heir, Nicolas Maduro, is favored to win, largely on the strength
of Chavez's generous anti-poverty programs, which Chavez emphasized over
public works with one big exception: housing.But polls show that support
may be eroding and the outages are a testament to the neglect
many Venezuelans consider inexcusable in this major oil-producing state.
Violent crime, double-digit inflation, official corruption and persistent
food shortages are other factors.Some of the rolling, intermittent blackouts
are still scheduled. But most are no longer announced. They generally last
three to four hours a day on average, said Miguel Lara, who
ran the power grid until Chavez forced him out in 2004 for
being "a political risk."Jose Aguilar, a U.S.-based consultant with extensive
and more recent experience in Venezuela's electrical industry, says it is
suffering "a downward spiral of deterioration." Insufficient transmission
lines are running so hot that 20,000 distribution transformers burned out
last year, he said. "They run them cherry red."Electrical substations are
in a precarious state, Aguilar and Lara s

<p style="font-size:xx-small;">RIO DE JANEIRO Public transit vans like the one in which
an American student was gang raped last month were banned Thursday from
Rio de Janeiro's touristy South Zone neighborhoods.The measure was floated
late last year as a way to help ease the city's chronic
traffic jams but gained urgency as a safety measure in the wake
of the March 30 attack on the American woman and her French
companion, who were attacked by a van driver and two other young
men who brutalized them for about six hours inside the vehicle.Under a
decree published Thursday in the local government's Official Journal, the
vans will be prohibited from operating in high-rent neighborhoods including
Ipanema and Leblon beaches, as well as Copacabana, where the two foreigners
boarded the van to travel to a nightlife hotspot in downtown. Exceptions
will be made for vans serving two "favela" hillside slums sandwiched between
high-rent South Zone neighborhoods, according to the decree, which takes
effect on Monday.Without the vans and with a key metro station closed
pending the extension of the subway, residents and workers in the South
Zone will need to rely on buses, taxis and private vehicles to
get around.The 12-seat vans are seen as a quicker alternative to buses
and largely travel the same routes. They will continue to ply the
poor, sprawling suburbs that ring this city of 6 million.Thursday's decree
was the second safety regulation for public vans put in place since

NEW ORLEANS A former BP engineer charged with deleting text messages
about the company's response to its 2010 oil spill in the Gulf
of Mexico says federal prosecutors have tacked on "farcical" allegations
that he also deleted dozens of voicemails.A court filing Wednesday by Kurt
Mix's defense attorneys asks a judge to bar prosecutors from making any
references to nearly 350 voicemails that couldn't be recovered from Mix's
phone.Mix's lawyers also want copies of transcripts for the grand jury proceedings
that produced a new March 20 indictment against their client. The new
indictment added allegations that Mix deleted about 40 voicemails from a
supervisor and roughly 15 voicemails from a BP contractor.Mix, a resident
of Katy, Texas, pleaded not guilty last May to two counts of
obstruction of justice.
