US Firms Fined for Violating Cuba Blockade
MIAMI.— Three US companies were fined more than US $43,000 recently by the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) for violating the US commercial blockade on Cuba, reported Notimex.Myers Industries, one of the biggest distributors of tools and supplies for repairing tires, agreed to pay $16,250, according to the first OFAC report for the fiscal year that began in October. The firm, with its headquarters in Akron, Ohio, voluntarily made the case public and admitted that in 2004 one of its foreign subsidiaries sold products to Cuba or persons related to the island without the required OFAC license.Another company, Priceline.com which sells airplane tickets and makes hotel reservations was fined $12,250. Likewise, the Center for Intercultural Studies in Amherst, Massachusetts was fined $15,000.Last year, Travelocity, another Internet travel agency, received one of the highest fines for violating the blockade, $182,750, while this year Spirit Airlines was forced to pay $100,000.Estimates show that during the 2008 fiscal year OFAC fines totaled over $2 million in the nearly 50 year US economic war against Cuba.

US Blockade Hinders Scientific Exchange
JOSE A. DE LA OSA - US scientist Eli Sercarz, PhD in immunology at Harvard University, said in Havana that researchers have been making promising advances in the autoimmune diseases such as Diabetes Type 1.Sercarz is considered one of the top experts in the field and said that in the next ten years a cure may be found to diabetes mellitus Type 1. The disease can appear in newborns, although it most commonly appears at the ages of 5 to 7 and during puberty. In a large percentage of the cases the disease stems from an autoimmune problem in the patient when a person’s defense system reacts against components of the organism as if they were foreign substances. Diabetes Type 2 is mainly related to metabolic and environmental factors.Sercarz also spoke of increasingly effective treatments against different types of malignant tumors, including breast and prostate tumors. A tireless researcher in autoimmunity and cancer, diabetes and multiple sclorosis, Sercarz is the director of the Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies in California.This is his fourth time at the immunotherapy conference organized every two years by Havana’s Center of Molecular Immunology. The present conference is dedicated to research related to cancer, autoimmune diseases and the immune system.In recognizing the high scientific level of these events, Sercarz regretted the barriers imposed by the US blockade on Cuba, which he called "stupid" and "contradictory" and doesn’t allow for greater exchanges and a flow of US scientists to the island that would benefit both peoples.

HAVANA (AP) — Cuba replaced its foreign investment minister Wednesday in a high-profile Cabinet change, but did not explain the move.A statement read during the communist island's nightly newscast said the Communist Party's Politburo "decided to liberate" Marta Lomas from the position. It did not give a reason, and it was not clear if she will take on a new governmental role.She will be replaced by former U.N. Ambassador Rodrigo Malmierca, whom the statement praised as an experienced diplomat and leader.

88 Keys in Cuba
Filmmaker: Elizabeth Jones
Since Fidel Castro's Communist revolution six decades ago, Cuba has been on the frontline of an international power struggle.Crippled by a punitive trade embargo imposed by the United States in 1962 the Caribbean island was supported by the USSR. But when the Soviet Union collapsed economic aid dried up.Since then life has been hard for this outpost of communism to keep its people fed and watered.One thing that has helped sustain Cubans over the years is their love of music and the Russians helped establish a music education system which continues today.But not without some difficulty. The US trade embargo, coupled with a hot and humid climate, spells disaster for musical instruments, especially the piano, many of which are slowly dying.It is a serious problem that one visitor took to heart.Elizabeth Jones' film 88 Keys in Cuba examines how Irishman Ciaran Ryan was inspired to come to the rescue of the island’s pianos with money raised by the music community back home.
