Recently, the US Coast Guard has created a rule to ban anyone from coming within 65 feet of the oil containment booms.  Without Coast guard approval, of course. They originally tried to make the exclusion zone 300 feet. They claim that this is done to ensure the safety of the public.

Many of you have heard of the horrible violence that has recently erupted all over Kyrgyzstan. Overall, hundreds of people have been murdered and many more are homeless and living in refugee camps in Uzbekistan.  Atrocities have been committed by both sides and an appeal to Russia for peace keeping forces was denied.
