Two BP rig workers face manslaughter in 2010 spill
Two low ranking BP rig workers, Robert Kaluza and Donald Vidrine, face manslaughter charges over the Gulf of Mexico disaster. The indictment centers on a flawed safety test before the blowout that killed 11 and sparked the largest US offshore spill. BP pleads guilty to related deaths and pays 4.5 billion dollars, while higher level blame remains unresolved amid a continuing federal probe.

Jersey shore sand study sparks cost debate after Sandy
Sandy relief findings show towns that used federal beach replenishment fared better than those that did not. From 1986 to 2011 nearly 80 million cubic yards of sand were placed along about half the New Jersey coast, costing 65 percent federal funds and yielding an average beach width gain of 4 feet. Pending federal budget fights may cut future replenishment funds.
