Carers "lost it" today and upset DD? WWYD?
Started by claresydney , Jan 22 2013 10:46 PM
23 replies to this topic
Posted 22 January 2013 - 10:46 PM
DD was very upset after coming home from daycare this evening. She is only starting to put sentences together so she couldn't fully verbalise what was upsetting her (she is 2). After trying to comfort her, she clearly said to us suddenly in a forceful tone "you are too much work! Now go and play!" and pointed to the other end of the room.
She was obviously repeating something the carers said, either to her or another child in her room, as this is not a phrase DH and I use with her.
I don't know whether to bring this up with the carers tomorrow. They did not mention any incidences of misbehaviour on DD's part when I went to pick her up this evening.
I have been having some reservations about one of the carers. I have witnessed her losing patience with the kids on previous occasions (but I can't say for sure whether it was her who made this particular comment to the children today).
I'm only thinking of bringing this matter up with the carers because DD was obviously distressed by something which happened at daycare today. Or am I being overly sensitive, and pick my battles?
Posted 22 January 2013 - 10:53 PM
I would deinately bring it up. That is not right and it would be enough to make me look at other options
Posted 22 January 2013 - 10:56 PM
I agree, definitely bring it up with the carers. Your daughter was clearly hurt and distressed
Posted 22 January 2013 - 10:56 PM
Overly sensitive.
Kids are astute, but also imperfect. It may be that her being 'upset' and the statement she uttered were unrelated. Kids also have imperfect memories - even at 3 when they CAN verbalise, they rarely remember everything that happened in a day without prompts.
I would be wary about raising any complaints/concerns on the basis of a vague comment by a child, which may have been directed at anyone, or not said like that at all.
You could go and ask them if anything happened that might have upset her. Maybe a kid anatched her toy. But I'd do no more.
Posted 22 January 2013 - 10:57 PM
I would bring it up with the carers and also the coordinator/director. If you are still concerned I would then be contacting the relevant agencies (sorry bit of a blank the only one I can think of is the accreditation board)
Hope that you get some answers to this
Posted 22 January 2013 - 11:09 PM
No, I wouldn't bring it up. I'd just note it at the back of my mind and move on.
Posted 22 January 2013 - 11:38 PM
Recently my son (who was 3, so a little bit older) told me:
"The new teacher at KU whose name starts with J told me I was a bad boy". He didn't want to go to preschool. A new (sub) teacher had been there the day before, her name was Jacinta or something.
I was livid. I didn't bother with the staff - I complained to the director immediately, she encouraged me to put my complaint in writing. While we were talking to DS he added "And Helen [another sub] says I am naughty". The director didn't need me to complain about that - she did it herself.
My son was put under the direct supervision of another staff member for the day, and the two teachers have been told they are not welcome back at this centre. I should add my DS has anxiety issues and sees a psychologist, so I know the damage 'harmless' but inappropriate language can do to a child.
I have no idea if any other parents ever complained about these staff members. My point is, I would make a formal complaint to the director and request the staff be counselled, at the very least. If the carer really is speaking to children in that manner, she is in the wrong job. If it's happening more or to other children, the director needs ammunition with which to fire her.

Actually kids have brilliant memories as they don't attach meaning to an event the simply remember it as they saw or heard it, the problem with children and memory is they can be coerced into doubting their memories and replacing them with something they think should be the memory, usually what they think an adult expects from them they will go along with (did a child eyewitness study for uni).
As the OP's child is obviously to young to be coerced into saying something like that she is recounting something most likely actually happened, I have always been good at picking up on my children's emotions to the point some have said its uncanny, its not, I just get them, maybe the OP gets her child enough to feel concern on top of what her child is actually saying.
I would mention it, however you do need to apply a bit of tact in doing so as not to get a defensive reaction.

I really hope they didn't sack those women based on what one child said...

That's what I hope, too. All staff need a chance to prove it's not a regular thing and that they can improve. If the Director did fire the staff after this one incident, I wouldn't want my children there because I want a centre that values its staff as well as the children. Both my children are in daycare and the Carers can occasionally have bad days (don't we all!) but otherwise they're lovely people who I trust to look after my children.
OP, I would bring it up tactfully with the Director and just state the facts without emotion. You are right to be concerned so just mention what your son said, what your observations have been and ask if the Director could please look into it. Keep a personal note of all dialogue for future reference, then leave it at that. If it comes up again, then I think you can start bringing out the mumma bear.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 06:06 AM
Say something, directors generally don't sack on one complaint, but if there is a series.... There was one floater in our centre who even the staff complained about. My DH is a fairly easy going guy, and is known centre wide for it. When he said something about her and some things she did, and things we noticed when she was the leader in DD's room, she got booted.
These things included leaving kids in nappies for ages, not regularly checking the nappies, yelling at them. DD was put off anyone changing her nappies for a good month, specially #2's.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 11:58 AM
Oh, I suspect it gave her the opportunity she needed to get rid of them. I've no idea if other families had complained but the Director didn't think much of them. FWIW, they were pool casual relief carers. There would be work for them at other centres. They weren't sacked from a permanent full time role at the centre, but they will not work there again.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 12:04 PM
I am a child cae Educator who lives and works in Perth. I am horrified to hear what when on with your child. It can be very frustrating working in child care I have been in it since 1988 and I know how hard it is to be polite and caring all the time. As a professional I would give myself some time out either by taking a 5 minute break or ask another staff member to step in for a few minutes whilst you take a few deep breaths to collect your thougts.
There is no need to treat children like that if there has been an instance where they have a fight there are more positive ways to deal with it that to tell the child to go and play at the other side of the room.
The child care centre Director should definalty be informed and the room staff should be monitored to see what is happening to cause such an out break in behaviour any good centre would take it on board and deal with situation and if it continues to happen and you feel that nothing is being done take your child out of the centre.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 12:10 PM
I also agree with what Niamh said
Posted 23 January 2013 - 12:18 PM
Ordinarily I would say to just mention it casually to the staff, because your DD's recollection may not be 100% acurate for eg my DD told me she hurt her elbow because a peer pushed her off the trampoline.... Daycare do not have a trampoline
On another occasion DD told me the babies staff wouldn't let her see DS they told her to go and play, I trust the babies staff completely and mentioned it to them jokey/casually, they told me sometimes when it is DD's room's outside playtime she spends the whole time at the window to the babies room waving at DS, and they felt after a time she was better off joining in with her peers activities instead.
However since you have said you have a bad feeling about the carer, and the phrase "you are too much work" isn't something you have said at home I would suggest bringing it up with the head carer in her room first in case it can be easility explained, but if you are not happy with the response talk tot he director.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 12:26 PM
My DD has an extremely good memory. She can randomly start talking about things that happened months ago and things that were said to her months ago. I've heard her repeat to her dolls phrases that I have said to DS. So if DD came home and said that to me I wouldn't hesitate bringing it up at daycare. It might not have been directed at her but it should not be said at all.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 12:40 PM
For me personally, I wouldn't bother complaining, I'd just store it away in the back of my mind or future reference if it's ever needed.
If my child came home and told me that they had been told they were 'too much work', 'naughty','go away and play', or whatever, I'd probably think the educator had a point and had just become a little exasperated with my child. They are human after all, I know I get frustrated too sometimes and say things without filtering my mouth first. As long as it's not an ongoing thing or done to put my child down, I'd just leave it for now.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 01:45 PM
I would hope if my son was being naughty he would be called on his behaviour...Why tell him he's being a good boy if he's not? I imagine it's tough enough not being able to discipline the kids like some of them probably need to be.

I agree. But I think it depends on who and how... And the personality of the child. Some don't handle any sort of critisicm or discipline very well, anxiety etc

Posted 23 January 2013 - 02:19 PM
I would maybe start off with a comment tomorrow like "Rough day yesterday?" to the staff in her room and see what sort of reaction you get.
No need to get too formal about one comment that may or may not have been directed at your child until you know more facts.
Edited by Cath-In-SA, 23 January 2013 - 02:20 PM.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 02:33 PM
Personally I'd speak to the room leader or director and ask them to have their antennae up about it.
I have done this in the past when I witnessed some concerning behaviour by a new staff member. Turns out several other parents did the same and she left after her probation was up.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 04:03 PM
I would speak to either the room leader or the director, whom ever you have the better relationship with and just tell them exactly what happened. Soemthing like, "DD came home upset yesterday and she later said (the phrase), which she has never heard at home."
It's not ok for staff to speak to children in a judgemental manner.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 10:24 PM
Thanks for all the comments. I feel more comfortable in raising this with them now. Just hoping it doesn't get to the point where we have to change centres; that would put us in a bind.

The National Retail Federation (NRF) notes that 140 million holiday shoppers are likely to take advantage of Thanksgiving weekend deals in stores and online.
Millennials are most eager to shop, with the NRF survey showing 8 in 10 (79.6 percent) of 18-24 year olds will or may shop over the weekend, the highest of any age group.
Much has been written about the risks of online shopping, but for those who still head to the stores, there are dangers there too.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) reminds us that crowd related injuries can occur during special sales and promotional events. In 2008, a worker at Wal-Mart died after being trampled in a Black Friday stampede.
According to the aptly named blackfridaydeathcount.com, since 2006 there have been seven Black Friday-related fatalities and 90 injuries. As well as stampeding crowds, injuries have occurred as a result of altercations over TVs, road rage over parking spaces, shootings and distracted driving.
For employers and store owners OSHA offers comprehensive tips on how to create a safe shopping experience.
Crowd management planning should begin in advance of events likely to draw large crowds, and crowd management, pre-event setup, and emergency situation management should be part of event planning, OSHA says.
Tips include: hiring additional staff; having trained security or crowd management personnel on site; determining the number of workers needed in different locations to ensure the safety of an event; and preparing an emergency plan that addresses potential dangers facing workers including overcrowding, crowd crushing, being struck by the crowd, violent acts and fire.
For shoppers too, a personal safety and security plan is a good idea. The National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) advises not to buy more than you can carry and to plan ahead by taking a friend with you or asking a store employee to help you carry packages to the car. Travelers offers some important tips here.
To all our readers, have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!]]>
There's no such thing as bad publicity, the old saying goes. But the publicity ridesharing company Uber is getting lately may not just harm its image, but can hurt its bottom line. And for a business valued by some at north of $50 billion, that's a world of hurt!
The latest trouble for the beleaguered rideshare titan started earlier this week when SVP of Business Emil Michael was reported by BuzzFeed to have said that the company should initiate a million-dollar "smear campaign" against journalists. Worse still was CEO Travis Kalanick's response, a rambling 13-tweet condemnation of Michael's on-the-record screed. (To date, however, Michael still has his job.) Jumping into the fray was Uber investor Ashton Kutcher, who defended the company for "digging up dirt" on journalists.
A company's reputation is core to its profitability and long-term competitiveness. And the challenges from social media and other interactive online platforms often force businesses to respond immediately. This in part explains why damage from reputational risk events oftentimes does not result from the initial crisis, but from how well the company responds to it.
This isn't exactly the first time Uber has "stepped in it." However, leaving aside Uber's occasional self-destructive missteps, how vulnerable is Uber or any other company with a capricious C-suite?
Reputational risk is among the most challenging categories of risk to manage, according to 92 percent of companies responding to a survey from ACE Group. Fully 81 percent of respondents view reputation as their most significant asset—and most of them admit that they struggle to protect it. The report also suggests that organizations need a clear framework for managing reputational risk that reduces the potential for crises, taking a multi-disciplinary approach that involves the CEO, PR specialists and other business leaders.
While Uber's Kalanick acknowledged his company needs to repair its image, he clearly would benefit from reputational risk insurance and the expertise of a risk manager—even if that risk manager's counsel amounts to: "dude, shut UP!"
Reputational risk is not covered under a typical business policy, but companies can purchase coverage as a stand-alone policy which typically pays fees for professional crisis management and communications services; media spending and production costs; some legal fees; other crisis response and campaign costs such as research, events, social media, and directly associated activities.
New reputation insurance products have started to emerge in the marketplace that cover financial losses caused by bad news that harms a company's profits. For example, Aon with Zurich, Willis and Chartis among others have come out with policies that address the exposures of reputational risk and offer risk management services to help corporations keep their reputations intact.
One thing is clear: as the rideshare business grows more competitive, Kalanick will need to do better at projecting a positive image. And if he took a cue from his own product, and let somebody else do the driving for a change, Kalanick would be following the lead of many a troubled CEO before him.

Now it appears data from wearable devices may be admissible in court.
Forbes.com reports that a law firm in Calgary is working on the first known personal injury case that will use activity data from a Fitbit to help show the effects of an accident on their client.
According to the report, the young woman in question, who used to be a personal trainer, was injured in an accident four years ago. While Fitbits weren't on the market back then, her lawyers believe they can use data from her Fitbit to show that her activity level has significantly decreased and is now below where it should be for someone of her age and profession.
The article suggests that "cases like this could open the door to wearable device data being used not just in personal injury claims, but in prosecutions."
The young woman's lawyer is also quoted saying that such data could be useful to insurers assessing questionable claims and that just as courts requisitioned Facebook for information several years ago a court order could compel disclosure of that data.
Sounds like another case where digital information has an unintended use in the courtroom.]]>

A recent report from IT firm Cognizant suggests that commercial and personal lines insurers that cover property risks are likely to be early adopters of drone technology. Hat tip to Claims Journal which reports on this story here.
For example, a property adjuster or risk engineer could use a drone to capture details of a location or building, and obtain useful insights during claims processing or risk assessments, Cognizant says.
Drones could also be deployed to enable faster and more effective resolution of claims during catastrophes.
Crop insurance is another area where drones could be used – not only to determine the actual cultivatable land, but also during the claims process to understand the extent of loss and the actual yield, reducing the potential for fraudulent claims.
The findings come amid recent reports that several home and auto insurers are considering the use of UAVs.
The Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International predicts that within 10 years (2015 to 2025) drones will create approximately 100,000 new jobs and around $82 billion in economic activity, the report notes.
Cognizant believes now is the time for insurers to consider the opportunity that drone technology presents, especially in the areas of claims adjudication, risk engineering and catastrophe claims management:
With drones poised for commercial use, insurers could use them specifically to help reduce operational costs and gather better-quality information. This could help improve the productivity, efficiency and effectiveness of field staff (e.g. claims adjusters and risk engineers), and improve the customer experience by resolving claims faster, especially during catastrophic events."
Cognizant goes on to note that drone enhancements such as artificial intelligence, augmented reality and integrating audio, text and video already exist in some shape or form. Insurance carriers should expect to see the adoption of drones increase significantly as these features are integrated into standard drones, and as regulations for commercial use of drones are defined.
It concludes:
As insurance carriers build business and technology use cases and the necessary architecture and services, they must consider not only how and where drone technology fits into their digital roadmap but also how the operating model can be enhanced to deliver optimal benefits for the business and its customers."
In a new paper the Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.) says the question of what happens if the federal act is not renewed by Congress is no longer a theoretical one:
Since insurance policies negotiated during 2014 extend beyond the imminent December 31 expiration date of the program, the negative consequences of non-renewal are already being experienced by businesses across America and their insurers."
The private sector simply does not have the capacity to provide insurance or reinsurance for terrorism risk to the extent currently provided by the federal program, the I.I.I. says. As a result, in the absence of the act, terrorism risk insurance would be less available and less affordable.
Over at WGA InsureBlog, David Bardelli, senior vice president and casualty practice leader for William Gallagher Associates, notes that with Congress not back in session until mid-November, the clock is ticking for lawmakers to come up with a solution before the end of the year.
Bardelli writes:
A lame duck Congressional session could pass an extension, which has been the case with previous versions of the bill. With House Democrats and Republicans at odds over the latest version of the House Committee's proposal, it looks like the November elections will have the biggest impact on what happens with TRIA."
Insurers are not alone in their concerns over the future of terrorism risk insurance. Just on Friday, the Real Estate Roundtable reported that while senior commercial real estate executives see a continuing recovery in the markets, they remain concerned about the lack of clear direction in many federal policies, primarily terrorism risk insurance.
Roundtable President and CEO Jeffrey D. DeBoer, said:
Without a long-term reauthorization of TRIA when policymakers return in November, financing for CRE projects will be directly threatened, job creation will suffer as it did after 9-11, and businesses can expect a general slowdown as many financing contracts will be found to be in technical default without terrorism insurance."
Congress will return November 12 for the "lame duck" session.]]>
The Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.) points out that standard homeowners and renters insurance will provide coverage for the following:
• Vandalism: In the event your home or your personal possessions are damaged by neighborhood tricksters, homeowners and renters insurance policies provide coverage for vandalism and malicious mischief. You are on your own, however, when it comes to removing the toilet paper from your front yard….
• Fire: If a jack-o-lantern, or other decoration, goes up in flames and damages your property, your homeowners or renters policy will cover fire-related losses. And, should the blaze make your home uninhabitable, additional living expenses (ALE) coverage will pay for alternate accommodations, such as a hotel, while your home is being repaired.
• Injuries: The liability portion of a homeowners or renters policy comes into play if a Halloween party guest, or a trick-or-treater is injured while at your house or apartment. These policies also include no-fault medical coverage so the injured person can file their claim directly with your insurer. And if Fido gets a little skittish from all the commotion and accidently nips a trick-or-treater your liability coverage includes damages or injuries caused by pets.
Have a safe and happy Halloween!
The just-released J.D. Power 2014 U.S. Auto Claims Satisfaction Study finds that overall customer satisfaction with the auto insurance claims process has improved steadily during the past five years to 857 on a 1,000-point scale in 2014, up from 842 in 2010.
What's more, customer satisfaction with more complex claims – those in which vehicles have significant structural damage and need to be towed – has also increased.
Satisfaction with total loss claims in 2014 averages 829, while satisfaction for towed vehicle claims averages 851. Satisfaction with each claim type was up 12 points from 2013.
J.D. Power notes:
Those improvements in satisfaction with insurers' handling of complex claims are largely due to insurers managing customer expectations with respect to the timing of the claim and moving the claim along more quickly—key metrics of communicating the settlement, repair time, and paying the customer (if applicable) are all performed faster in 2014."
The fact that customer satisfaction continues to rise is even more noteworthy when you consider that auto insurers are handling a growing number of more complex claims.
Total loss claims and claims in which vehicles have significant structural damage and need to be towed accounted for 37 percent of all auto claims in 2014, up 5 percentage points from 2011 when complex claims accounted for 32 percent of the total.
However, the study finds the rise in more complex claims has pushed up the average severity of claims (based on the dollar amount of loss) for the third consecutive year.

The insurance industry got a report card this week on a test I'm not sure they knew they were taking. And the grading curve was, in my opinion, harsh.
Ceres, a nonprofit group that promotes sustainable business practices, rated 330 insurers – life, health and property/casualty – on how well they are responding to climate change.
Before I wade further into the topic, it is important to acknowledge that insurance companies and their managers have a range of opinions on global warming that is as wide as the opinions of Americans overall on the topic. There is no insurance industry position, though there are individuals and companies with strong opinions – just as with all Americans.
On a four-point scale, nine companies got the highest mark ("leading"): Ace, Munich Re, Swiss Re, Allianz, Prudential, XL Group, The Hartford Financial Services Group, Sompo Japan and Zurich. Matthew Sturdevant of the Hartford Courant does a nice job rounding up how these firms earned their grade.
Ceres gave "minimal" or "beginning" rankings to 276 insurers, 84 percent on my calculator. The New York Times played up that aspect. But the analysis may be skewed because of the source of the rankings and how Ceres adapted that source.
Ceres took a National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) survey that six states require on climate change. The survey consists of eight yes-or-no questions, each of which follows up with why the insurer answered as it did. The follow-up questions are open-ended – companies can respond with as little or as much information as they like.
The questions help regulators when they assess a company's enterprise risk management, specifically how hard a company looks for potential problems that might not hit them until years from now. Climate change certainly has that potential.
Ceres took those answers and graded them on its own criteria, resulting in six scores from 1 to 4, which it then re-summarized into a single grade.
Boiling a complex set of open-ended answers is tricky enough, but Ceres has, in my opinion, misused the NAIC survey, which is supposed to help regulators understand how well insurers are considering climate change in their risk management, not whether insurers are acting as stewards of the environment.
So it doesn't seem like Ceres is giving a fair test. Insurers are answering questions on how climate change might affect their business then being rated on how their actions will reduce carbon emissions. It's like being told to write an essay, then being graded on penmanship.
How could this skew results? Some insurers are minimally exposed to climate change, so it would not be prudent risk management for them to devote valuable resources to the issue. Medical malpractice writers are an obvious example. Climate change might be important to the world at large, but how relevant is it to the operation of a medical malpractice writer?
Property insurers are in a different boat, pardon the irresistible pun. Rising sea levels and growing weather extremes are important developments, and it would seem a prudent coastal writer would consider whether those trends will continue, abate or accelerate. A company that writes worldwide has still more to think about, as climate trends would affect other countries more than our own.
Seen that way, it makes perfect sense that some large, multinational insurers are concerned about climate change while small writers not exposed to property insurance are less so.
On the life/health side, there is a signal-to-noise problem. Climate change appears to have an impact on mortality, but it's really small. A 2011 Brookings study suggested that climate change will increase U.S. age adjusted mortality rates by about 3 percent over the next 85 years or so. That rate has declined by 1 percent per year over the past 35 years. So the impact of climate change on mortality is likely to be overwhelmed by other forces at work.
That's not to say that life expectancies outside the U.S. won't be affected more. But a life insurer that only writes U.S. risks might not want to incorporate climate change-induced mortality changes from, say, Australia, into its business model.
Regardless, life insurers have a built-in mortality hedge in pairing annuity sales with life insurance. People who die sooner drive life insurance profits lower. But they push annuity profits higher, and vice versa. Combine that with the small impact of climate change on U.S. mortality and it makes perfect sense that a great many U.S. life insurers have decided that climate change doesn't form a central part of their risk management strategy.
Health insurers are in a similar situation. Gradual changes in health have small effects on their business, and those changes can be easily adjusted to year by year. Pandemics are a bigger risk, so risk management efforts focus there.
That helps explain why health and life insurers didn't score as high as property/casualty insurers. They have less at stake.
California's insurance department doesn't sound too concerned. Ceres relied on CA DOI information to compile its report, so there's a good chance the Ceres researchers saw a 2013 press release that said this:
The results of this year's survey are a positive sign for the insurance industry and the environment," said Commissioner Jones. "It is encouraging to see that insurers are aware of the risks that a changing climate brings, and moreover they are taking steps to ensure their responses to these risks are sufficient to protect their business."
More than 1,000 companies [Duplicates and multi-company insurance groups account for the difference between Ceres' total and California's.] were required to respond to the survey. The survey revealed that roughly 75 percent of insurers have a plan for identifying climate change-related risks that could affect their business, and are taking actions to mitigate these risks. Responses to the eight survey questions reveal that nearly every insurer is aware of the risks posed by a changing climate, and an overwhelming majority of insurers have incorporated mitigating practices into their business model."
That sounds like an industry that is handling the issue prudently, even if it is not the way an environmental group would prefer.]]>
While companies that have suffered a data breach look to their insurance policies for coverage to help mitigate some of the enormous costs, recent legal developments underscore the fact that reliance on traditional insurance policies is not enough, notes the I.I.I. white paper Cyber Risks: The Growing Threat.
A post in today's Wall Street Journal Morning Risk Report, echoes this point, noting that a lawsuit between restaurant chain P.F. Chang's and its insurance company Travelers Indemnity Co. of Connecticut could further define how much, if any, cyber liability coverage is included in a company's CGL policy.
Collin Hite, partner and leader of the insurance recovery group at law firm Hirschler Fleischer tells the WSJ that whatever the outcome of this case, companies that want to be sure they are protected against cyber-related losses may have to purchase separate cyber liability policies—and make sure those policies are broad enough to encompass the myriad ways an attack could cost the firm money.
P.F. Chang's confirmed in June that it had suffered a data breach in which data from credit and debit cards used at its restaurants was stolen.
An earlier post in the Hartford Courant Insurance Capital blog by Matthew Sturdevant has the details on the legal action between Travelers and P.F. Chang's.
To-date the application of standard form commercial general liability (CGL) policies to data breach incidents has led to various legal actions and differing opinions, according to the I.I.I. paper on cyber risks.
One recent high profile – and oft-cited case – followed the April 2011 data breach at Sony Corp. in which hackers stole personal information from tens of millions of Sony PlayStation Network users.
A New York trial court ruled that Zurich American Insurance Co. owed no defense coverage to Sony Corp. or Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC.
In his ruling, New York Supreme Court Justice Jeffrey K. Oing said acts by third-party hackers do not constitute "oral or written publication in any manner of the material that violates a person's right of privacy" in the Coverage B (personal and advertising injury coverage) under the CGL policy issued by Zurich.
Further expertise and analysis on cyber risks and insurance is available from the I.I.I.]]>

Christmas Eve, after church, Ian started throwing up and continued to do so until 5:30am. DH slept on sofa and had big kids wait till 8am before waking up me and Ian and even at that, he didn't even sit up... I carried him to the livingroom and he laid on the sofa... until he opened a present with Bakugan in it! It only got better from there!

LONDON – The European Union won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, a choice that celebrates Europe's post-World War II economic and political integration but comes as the 27-nation body draws fire over its handling of a massive debt crisis. The award honored the struggle in Europe to not only hold the union together in the wake of the debt crisis, but also to deepen integration across a vast swath of the region stretching from the isles of Greece to the Scottish Highlands, from the ports of Portugal to northern Finland.
But the choice – announced to audible gasps from a room of journalists in Oslo – comes as the EU comes under fire for its bureaucratic and plodding handling of the crisis, as well as for foisting onto its heavily indebted members a crushing austerity that has crippled domestic economies and sparked social unrest in Greece and Spain.
It fed into complaints that the Nobel committee increasingly has strayed from the award's original ideals – including when it honored President Obama in 2009, just months after he took office – and prompted some critics to say the prize is venturing deeper into the realm of political theater.
Twenty years ago, this prize would have been sycophantic, but maybe more justified. Today it is downright out of touch, said Martin Callanan, a Conservative British politician and chairman of the European Conservative and Reformists Party in the European Parliament. The EU's policies have exacerbated the fallout of the financial crisis and led to social unrest that we haven't seen for a generation.
The Nobel committee said it wanted to laud the EU for safeguarding peace and security and forging a common future for a continent saddled with a dark history of conflict, even as the union confronts its toughest test.
The EU is currently undergoing grave economic difficulties and considerable social unrest, said Thorbjoern Jagland, the Nobel Committee chairman. The Norwegian Nobel Committee wishes to focus on what it sees as the EU's most important result, the successful struggle for peace and reconciliation and for democracy and human rights. The stabilizing part played by the EU has helped to transform most of Europe from a continent of war to a continent of peace.
José Manuel Barroso, president of the European Commission, the executive branch of the European Union, said the award shows that even in tense, difficult times, the European Union remains an inspiration for countries and people all over the world.
This is indeed a great honor for the 500 million citizens of Europe, he said.
But if the union has instilled democracy and peace in Europe, it has also sowed fresh resentment in recent years. As borders have been erased around the region and trade has flowed freely, anxiety has grown in some countries over unfettered immigration as well as the economic dominance of the region by the EU's core nations, Germany and France.
Nationalist parties are on the rise in Finland, France, Greece and Italy. Germany has been criticized for being reluctant to extend its largesse to threatened European countries such as Greece and Spain.
The award also comes amid a widening gulf between the 17 EU nations that share the euro and the 10 nations still outside the common currency, with talk growing of a two-tiered body in which some nations would forge more closely together while others drift apart.
Anti-EU sentiment is on the rise in nations like Britain, which has jealously guarded the British pound. Pressure is building for the Conservative-led government of Prime Minister David Cameron to hold a national referendum on whether to exit the union.
The move to award the prize to a vast and varied organization follows a pattern in recent years of the Nobel committee thinking outside of the box – the International Atomic Energy Agency won in 2005; and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change shared the honor with Al Gore in 2007. The choice also amounted to a controversial pick for the Norway-based Nobel committee, given that voters in that country have twice rejected membership in the EU.

Bouchaine Vineyards: A Winery Steeped in Carneros History On the Pinot Trail: Tasting at Bouchaine Vineyards Sips of Recently Tasted California Pinot Noir Sips of Recently Tasted Oregon Pinot Noir Heart & Hands Wine Company Sips of Recently Tasted California Chardonnays Pinot Briefs Kevin Zraly Windows on the World Complete Wine Course
Kynsi Winery
This is a small family owned winery located in the Edna Valley appellation founded by Don and Gwen Orthman in 1995. The winery is located in a renovated 1940s dairy. The winery's logo features a barn owl. When the Orthmans first started the winery, there was a serious gopher infestation in an old run-down dairy barn, and barn owls wiped out the breeding gophers. The name, Kynsi, means talon in Finnish, a reference to the Orthman's beloved barn owl.
Don is well known in the Central Coast because his company, Bulldog Welding and Manufacturing, custom designed and redesigned winemaking equipment. In 1986, Don invented the Bulldog Pup, a gas pressure racking wand that is used instead of a pump to move wine in or out of barrels. The Bulldog Pup has become an indispensable cellar tool and thousands have been sold throughout the world. Originally designed to handle delicate Pinot Noir, it is now widely used for premium quality, barrel-aged wines.
Grapes are sourced from low-yield vineyards including Righetti Ranch in Edna Valley and Bien Nacido Vineyard in Santa Maria Valley as well as from the Stone Corral Vineyard which is a joint project between Talley Vineyards, Stephen Ross Cellars and Kynsi Winery.
The Othmans have been joined by daughter Kala and her spouse Michael. The focus is on limited production Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, Syrah and red blends including a blend of Pinot Noir and Grenache.
The wines are available on the website. The tasting room in Arroyo Grande is open Thursday through Monday, 11:00 to 5:00 and daily during the summer.

Sensual aromas of black cherries, blackberries, violets and oak toast. Nicely composed red and black fruits with subtle overtones of oak, savory herbs and that signature Bien Nacido white pepper. Impeccable balance and a clean finish. This remarkable wine seduces rather than overpowers with tender, lithe and captivating flavors. This one was kissed by an angel.

This week's show begins with Janiva Magness who'll be performing on the Woodsong's Old Time Radio House in Lexington on Monday, 10/27. She'll be followed by the Neville Brothers, Keb' Mo' and Deanna Bogart.
Later in the show you'll hear from Groove Holmes, Harry Connick, Jr., and the Blind Boys of Alabama. And The Blues will end with "Just a Closer Walk to Thee" by the KSO Newport Ragtime Band from a cd they put out in 2010.
I went into an unplanned direction on this Saturday's show. Sometimes music will take you on a voyage, and so it goes. I had a stack of cds on my desk that I had pulled for the show. The top one was Wynton Marsalis's cd "The Midnight Blues: Standard Time vol.5." It had kind of a jazzy blues feel, and a new path was forged.
This week's program begins with Eric Clapton's unplugged "Walking Blues" followed by T Bone Burnett, Tom Waits and another favorite Ken Nordine. The second set features the Honey Island Swamp Band, Bloomfield/Kooper/Stills, Dylan and Peter Frampton. And finally the third set begins with a new Elvin Bishop release followed by Shemekia Copeland, Etta James, and ends with an instrumental from Joey DeFrancesco.
This week's Blues show (Sat night 9.27 at 11pm) begins with the title track from the new Alligator Records release by Marcia Ball called "The Tattooed Lady and the Alligator Man." This is followed by the Bluebirds version of Tom Waits' "Low Side of the Road." You'll also hear Gov't Mule who's coming to the Taft on Halloween night, Charlie Musselwhite, and ends with J.J. Cale.
This week's program begins with vocalist Madeline Peyroux who has a new cd coming out in October and has a handful of concerts lined up in December. You'll also hear from Tom Waits, k.d. lang and Peter Frampton. There are also songs by blues legends like John Mayall, Koko Taylor and the late Johnny Winter. And the show ends with the Blind Boys of Alabama and Delbert McClinton.

McNabb ready to welcome newcomers
This story has been corrected. Read below
Donovan McNabb, noting what the Eagles did in the offseason, said on his blog that he is ready to "focus on the future," especially after seeing the city's response to the Philadelphia Phillies' World Series victory.
McNabb, who had been pushing to improve the Eagles' offensive arsenal, said on Tuesday's blog entry on Yardbarker.com: "I want to congratulate all the newcomers and let them know that I am excited to be working with them and taking the first step towards moving forward and getting something accomplished.
"I was inspired by the way the Phillies won the World Series and how they were treated by the City and their fans and I want to experience that myself in the worst way," McNabb added.
A source told ESPN in late February that McNabb and Eagles management held a meeting to discuss, among other subjects, a possible contract extension. The source added, however, that McNabb might choose to table talks unless he sees some upgrade with offseason trades and free-agency moves.
Well, here's what the Eagles have done. They signed free-agent right tackle Stacy Andrews from Cincinnati and acquired Pro Bowl left tackle Jason Peters in a trade from Buffalo, moves that McNabb said "will help in both the passing and running game."
As for the additions on defense ... I can't wait to see how [defensive coordinator] Jim Johnson uses all the talent he has at his disposal." -- Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb
They signed two free-agent safeties -- Rashad Baker from the Oakland Raiders, and Sean Jones from the Cleveland Browns -- moves that had McNabb issuing a not-so-subtle challenge.
"As for the additions on defense ... I can't wait to see how [defensive coordinator] Jim Johnson uses all the talent he has at his disposal," McNabb wrote.
During last weekend's draft, Philadelphia took two offensive stars, selecting Missouri receiver Jeremy Maclin with the 19th overall choice and Pittsburgh running back LeSean McCoy in the second round with the 53rd overall pick.
On Day 2, the Eagles picked up Ellis Hobbs, a veteran cornerback from the New England Patriots, in exchange for two fifth-round draft picks.
NFL.com Video
Andy Reid talks with Scott Hanson about the Eagles' new additions and expectations for the coming season.
The Eagles used three other fifth-round picks by selecting Florida tight end Cornelius Ingram, 6-feet-3½, 241 pounds, who missed his senior year with a torn ACL; Virginia Tech cornerback Victor Harris, 5-9, 195, who could move to safety; and Oregon left tackle Fenuki Tupou, 6-5½, 316.
In the sixth round, they added Washington State wide receiver Brandon Gibson, who caught 57 passes for 673 yards last fall. In the seventh, they took Arizona State offensive lineman Paul Fanaika and Maryland linebacker Moise Fokou.
"As with every minicamp since I've been in the league, I'm excited about meeting my new teammates, getting to know them and working together on the field. We now have a lot of new, young skill position players and it will be exciting and interesting to see how they become acclimated to what we do here," McNabb wrote. "If they can come in here and take their game to the next level, they will be productive pros and we can achieve great successes together."
Information from ESPN reporter Michael Smith and The Associated Press was used in this report.

Carlisle man assaulted wife in row over computer
Last updated at 13:53, Tuesday, 15 May 2012
A man grabbed his wife by the hair after rowing over a laptop computer, a court heard.
Anthony Green, 28, caused Rachel Green to fall against a door and bang her head after an argument erupted into violence.
Green, of South Henry Street, off Botchergate in Carlisle, was sentenced to a three-year community order at Carlisle Crown Court yesterday after admitting common assault.
Kim Whittlestone, prosecuting, said the couple had been in an on-off relationship for 10 years.
On April 6 she was heading out with friends and Green was "not happy about that".
She became aware he had changed his status on the Facebook social networking website to single rather than married.
The next day she was on a laptop and an argument started about who owned the computer, the court was told.
"When he went to leave he tried to grab hold of the laptop," said Mrs Whittlestone. "She tried to grab it back." The violence then happened.
The court heard Mrs Green appeared to want to reconcile the relationship.
Keith Thomas, in mitigation, said Green had been in custody on remand for five weeks but admitted the defendant could have no complaint if he were put back behind bars.
The community order will include 36 months of supervision and Green must complete a domestic violence programme.
