  1. “BP nears deal with U.S.”

  2. London - BP said Thursday it has struck a deal with the U.S. government that will resolve criminal claims resulting from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. In April 2010, an explosion on BP's Deepwater Horizon rig killed 11 workers and fouled the Louisiana coastline and other parts of the Gulf with millions of barrels of oil. It was one of the worst oil spills in history. The oil company has agreed to admit guilt and pay a fine that would be the largest criminal penalty in U.S. history. The settlement is subject to judicial review before it is finalized.

A Florida teenager was sentenced Wednesday to a year in jail after he was convicted of four felonies linked to his impersonation last year of a physician's assistant in a hospital emergency room. Matthew Scheidt, 18, will then spend a year under house arrest, followed by eight years' probation. Scheidtwas convicted in August of two counts of practicing medicine without a license and two counts of impersonating a physician's assistant at Osceola Regional Medical Center in August 2011, when he was 17. The new Congress is still a month and a half away from being seated, but the battle for the next Congress is already heating up.
