Beyond Sick Building Syndrome: Mold Litigation Enters the Main Stream
Deering, Ann, Risk Management
Mold: a superficial, often wooly growth, found especially on damp or decaying matter or on living organisms
As evidenced by sensational stories in The New York Times Magazine, regional newspapers, television specials on 48 Hours and The Today Show, and a number of regional and national conferences, toxic mold is an emotionally charged issue that has created a public frenzy over its potential health impact.
Although it affects a broad range of concerns for risk managers, from damage claims to workers' compensation, this frenzy has created an instant insurance industry crisis. The major reason toxic mold has become one of the hottest topics in the insurance industry is the usual reason: money, in the form of multimillion dollar judgments against insurers.
The flagship case is Ballard vs. Fire Insurance Exchange. In June 2001, a Texas jury found in favor of the plaintiffs and awarded $32 million, including $12 million in punitive damages and $8.9 million in legal fees. According to Alexander Robertson, the California attorney representing the Ballards, the jury found bad faith, concluding that the insurance company, a subsidiary of Farmer's Insurance Group, had fraudulently and intentionally held back vital information from the insured after discovering Stachybotrys, a mold that produces mycotoxins. When inhaled, these mycotoxins can cause nosebleeds, cold symptoms, headaches and pulmonary infections. The jury held that the adjuster owed a duty to inform the insured of the presence of toxic mold.
Although the Fire Insurance case is presently under appeal, it represents a harbinger of change in the way that risk managers must examine their approach to mitigation, as well as their coverage polices with many insurance companies, because toxic mold litigation is by no means limited to residential cases. Construction defect suits and litigation stemming from mold contamination are among the fastest growing areas of tort litigation. Defendants include contractors, subcontractors, landlords, property managers, construction managers, architects, building owners and construction component suppliers. Millions of dollars have already been awarded in remediation claims.
The Uncertain Costs
Quantifying the precise number of mold-related claims pending or the projected costs is difficult. Mold claims are often the result of other more easily defined and covered perils, such as water damage or a construction defect.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) warns that mold growth can weaken floors and walls and cause structural damage to schools and office buildings, so claims could also include personal injury and property damage. An increase in sick building claims could result in both workers' compensation and civil liability lawsuits. And defense costs including data gathering, scientific analysis and expert medical opinions are considerable.
At a June hearing on the mold issue, Farmer's officials said they already have received more than one thousand new mold-related claims this year. Further, they said, independent actuaries have estimated that insurance companies will pay an additional $128.5 million for Texas-based mold damage claims in 2001.
Several cases are under appeal and their outcomes will shape the responses to losses involving mold. It appears, though, that the courts are favoring the plaintiffs. Companies may have two choices: mitigate or litigate.
Insurance Industry Reactions
The insurance industry is monitoring the mold issue closely and it is uneasy. Insurers are considering a number of options to mitigate mold losses, including premium increases, excluding mold from policies or eliminating policies that cover water damage and the mold damage that may follow.
More proactive responses include educational forums developed by industry associations that risk managers should consider attending. The National Association of Independent Insurers (NAII) is closely watching the litigation developments and serves as an education and information resource. …

Verinata Health's verifi® Prenatal Test Available through the California Prenatal Screening Program Business Wire REDWOOD CITY, Calif. -- November 1, 2013 Illumina, Inc. (NASDAQ:ILMN) today announced that the verifi® prenatal test,^1 offered by Verinata Health, an Illumina company, will be available to pregnant women in California through the state's Prenatal Screening Program. The availability of the verifi® prenatal test represents a major advance in prenatal screening, providing pregnant women with genetic information about their babies without the risk associated with invasive testing such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS). Beginning today, all pregnant women in California at increased risk of carrying a fetus with trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) or trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome), or who have had an ultrasound showing a large nuchal translucency, will have the option of receiving a non-invasive prenatal test. "As a designated prenatal diagnosis center, we evaluated all of the different non-invasive prenatal tests, and selected the verifi® prenatal test based on the fact it provides the fastest turnaround time at three to six days, the lowest test failure rate at less than one percent, and an exceptionally responsive staff," said Dr. Art Karimi, Director of the Institute of Prenatal Diagnosis and Reproductive Genetics. Women screening positive who desire a non-invasive prenatal test will be referred to a designated state-approved Prenatal Diagnostic Center, many of whom have elected to offer the verifi® prenatal test for their patients. The California Prenatal Screening Program screens nearly 400,000 women annually and is the largest prenatal screening program in the world. "California is the first state to prioritize broad non-invasive prenatal testing as a secondary screening option for high-risk pregnant women," said Vance Vanier, M.D., Vice President of Global Commercial Operations for Verinata. "We applaud the state of California for their leadership through this comprehensive Prenatal Screening Program and we are pleased to bring reliable results from the verifi® prenatal test to women throughout the state." The California Prenatal Screening Program is conducted through the state of California Genetic Disease Screening Program. The voluntary Prenatal Screening Program was established to provide pregnant women with improved screening for genetic disorders. California offers the only comprehensive prenatal screening program that includes follow-up for all non-negative test results, non-invasive prenatal testing and/or confirmatory testing through either amniocentesis or CVS, when indicated. In cases where a genetic disorder is detected prenatally, managing the high-risk pregnancy and ensuring delivery in a hospital with a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit with the appropriate level of care provides optimal patient outcomes for these families. About Verinata Health Verinata (www.verinata.com),a wholly-owned subsidiary of Illumina, Inc., is driven by a sole, extraordinary purpose – maternal and fetal health. Our initial focus is to develop and offer non-invasive tests for early identification of fetal chromosomal abnormalities using our proprietary technologies. We aim to reduce the anxiety associated with today's multi-step process, the unacceptable false-positive rates, the non-specific and sometimes confusing results of current prenatal screening methods, as well as the risk of current invasive procedures. We support national guidelines and the recent American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine Committee Opinion that recommend cell-free DNA prenatal testing as one option for use as a primary or secondary screening test in women at increased risk of aneuploidy. We believe women who desire such testing should be offered a single blood draw test with a definitive result. The verifi^®prenatal test is available through a physician. About Illumina Illumina (www.illumina.com) is a leading developer, manufacturer, and marketer of life science tools and integrated systems for the analysis of genetic variation and function. We provide innovative sequencing and array-based solutions for genotyping, copy number variation analysis, methylation studies, gene expression profiling, and low-multiplex analysis of DNA, RNA, and protein. We also provide tools and services that are fueling advances in consumer genomics and diagnostics. Our technology and products accelerate genetic analysis research and its application, paving the way for molecular medicine and ultimately transforming healthcare.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statements are detailed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recent filings on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, or in information disclosed in public conference calls, the date and time of which are released beforehand. We do not intend to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this release. ^1 The verifi® prenatal test is a non-invasive blood test that analyzes DNA found in a pregnant woman's blood to detect chromosome abnormalities, including Down syndrome (trisomy 21 or T21), Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18 or T18), Patau syndrome (trisomy 13 or T13) and sex chromosome abnormalities, and can be used as early as 10 weeks of pregnancy.

Helmet cams, I saw some on TV, bike police have em somewhere. They were tiny too, fit in the venting.
Another cyclist was hit and killed last night, from a driver making a left turn.
I just saw a quick blurb about it on cp24, but I can't find any detailed articles on the web yet.
These drivers are getting out of hand, it's ridiculous.
I saw a review of a helmet cam made by Samsung that was made specifically for sporting use. it looked ULTRA SWEET!Originally Posted by TRaffic Jammer
I was wondering about that. Last night just before I went to sleep I turned on CP24 for a few seconds to check the forecast and I saw the word "cyclist" out of the corner of my eye in the news ticker...

To make matters worse all he had to do was wait a few flippin' seconds for either me to accelerate past the streetcar or the other way round, 10 seconds tops.. I can't remember having a car that close at speed in a loooong time, scared the **** out of me. He made several tries at nosing his way through, total ****.
Time to get the police and the press involved. This is going waaaay beyond the 'God damned bikers' mindset that I'm so used to.
What are those window clicker thingies called?
its because people are IN A HURRY!
the Cops and the City will not do a F**king thing about it OH sureee they say a great deal when one of us gets killed but they do pee all about it that's a fact
Well they are looking for witnesess to the accident . did she see who was at fault ???Originally Posted by Shiznaz

re protec: I wonder what affords the most protection in a car vs. cyclist collision though. I mean, cycling helmets are obviously designed to cushion an impact and totally deform (ie. crush). but, they have less coverage. This is opposed to a "hard" helmet which is designed to withstand multiple impacts and not deform, but has considerably more coverage. Do you know what I mean?
Personally, when I look at my helmet I wonder what help it would be in a collision with the car, unless the car hit me directly on top of the noggin. I guess it protects the "important parts"... but wouldn't you think they're designed more for a cyclist taking a spill by themselves vs. colliding with a car?
Ugh. I'm just getting paranoid now.
I think the skate (vert) helmet would give you more, and it's made for repetitive bongos.
I'm going to see if I can call in press contact.
SomeHOW, the bikers HAVE to take that damned lane. It's the only way I can see. The drivers, I can't blame 100%, if they think they are entitled I can see why they would be freaking. I know ignorance is no excuse, but they must be away.
ok type out a letter about why the city and the police are doing nothing to stop the bad drivers in the city that kill ped and cyclists and drivers that don't stop for stop signs or cross walks even lights make sure you include the above and mention that the drivers also go past street car doors when peeps are getting on/off and the fines for the drivers and drunk drivers are nothing but little slaps on the wrist.

Mature dwarven stout is a player made beer that temporarily increases a player's Smithing and Mining levels by 2 while decreasing the player's melee skills by 7. Level 19 Cooking is required to brew Dwarven stout. It is the stronger, or "mature" version of the standard Dwarven stout. Players can receive 2 glasses of Dwarven stout(m) as a reward for completing the Forgettable Tale of a Drunken Dwarf quest. Players can purchase kegs (4-doses in one item) of this brew on the Grand Exchange under the name Dwarven stout(m4). Glasses of Dwarven stout can also be thieved from a Trahaearn Worker.
The full recipe for standard dwarven stout is as follows (in the order given):
- 2 Buckets of Water
- 2 Barley Malt.
- (optional) 1 "The Stuff," to increase chance of maturity.
- 4 Hammerstone Hops
- 1 Ale Yeast
- Wait two to five days
- Collect the completed ale using eight Beer Glasses or two Calquat Kegs*.
When brewing Dwarven stout, there is a random chance that it will turn out mature. The chance of getting a mature ale can be increased by 50% by adding a package of the stuff to the vat just prior to adding the hops. Maturation occurs during the brewing process, not after. Leaving completed ale in the vat after it has fully set will no longer cause it to turn mature or go bad. See the Brewing guide in the Cooking skill guide.
It is highly prized by players with lower Smithing levels, as it allows higher items to be made as well as for players of lower Mining levels, such as when trying to enter the Mining Guild at 58 Mining, or for players trying to mine the rarer ores while underlevelled. Higher levelled players in both Mining and Smithing may also find this useful to gain boosts to obtain higher items as well.
Mature dwarven stout may also be used to install armour in a player-owned house if players can drink it to attain the required Smithing level.
This drink is very often used by players to complete portions of the Varrock diary. As it raises the players Smithing level by 2, players will be able to smith an Adamant helm, for the Varrock Hard diary, with only 71 Smithing and be able to smith rune bolts at level 86 for the Varrock Elite diary.
Price historyEdit
This item was often in a high demand and the only way of obtaining it was by brewing, which not many players did. Prior to the release of Prifddinas, this item was worth more than 15k in Grand Exchange. However, since the release, they can be pickpocketed off of Trahaearn workers as an uncommon drop. This caused a massive crash.
- Increases Mining and Smithing by 2 levels for 60 seconds.
- Heals 220 life points.
- Lowers Attack, Strength, and Defence by 7 levels.
Unlike some drinks, such as Super Antipoisons, whose effects wear off in a time period relative to when a player consumes the item, Dwarven stouts (mature and normal) wear off at absolute game ticks that happen every 60 seconds or so. This means that when a player drinks a stout, the effect could wear off as soon as the next game tick. In order to get the most out of these very expensive drinks, it is suggested that a player drinks a normal stout (found free in the White Wolf Mountain shortcut) and then consume the mature stout as soon as the normal stout's effects have worn off. This way, a player will spend maximum time with boosted stats.

NBC making a long-sought comeback
FILE - This June 2012 file photo released by NBC shows mentors, from left, Blake Shelton, Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green and Adam Levine on the set of "The Voice," in Los Angeles." New entertainment chief Bob Greenblatt's baby steps strategy of using the successful competition "The Voice" as its centerpiece has helped NBC stand as the only one of the four big broadcasters to have a larger prime-time audience than it had last fall. (AP Photo/NBC, Tyler Golden, file)
NEW YORK (AP) — During NBC's slow slide to near-irrelevancy in prime time over the past decade, a succession of entertainment executives sat in boardrooms plotting comeback moves that didn't work.
It's still early, but NBC seems finally to have hit upon a plan that is moving things in the right direction. New entertainment chief Bob Greenblatt's baby steps strategy of using the successful competition "The Voice" as its centerpiece has helped NBC stand as the only one of the four big broadcasters to have a larger prime-time audience than it had last fall.
In the 18-to-49-year-old demographic that NBC targets, the network has made a startling move from fourth place to first, winning the first four weeks of the season for the first time since 2002. Among all viewers, it ranks third behind CBS and ABC.
"They needed a hit show to ignite the network," said Marc Berman, an analyst with TV Media Insight, "and now they have it."
Greenblatt, who came to NBC after running Showtime, said he understands the temptation of thinking all of a network's problems can be solved at once. Since that almost never happens, he brought a lesson he learned from cable.
He decided to set one or two priorities and put all of the network's attention on achieving them. In this case, the plan was to build out from NBC's most successful franchise, the Sunday night football game, and improve the nights right after it.
NBC launched its first-ever fall version of "The Voice" and stretched it to two nights a week — Monday and Tuesday. Greenblatt didn't want to compete directly with Fox's "The X Factor" later in the week, and believed ABC's competing "Dancing With the Stars" was an aging franchise with a greying audience.
"The Voice" has rewarded his confidence and, just as importantly, served as a launching pad for new shows that followed it on the schedule, the drama "Revolution" on Monday and Matthew Perry comedy "Go On" on Tuesday.
Through four weeks, "The Voice" has averaged 14.1 million viewers on Monday night, more than double what "The Sing Off" had in the time slot last year, according to the Nielsen company. "Revolution" has averaged 11.9 million viewers, numbers that include some DVR playback. "The Playboy Club" was a high-profile bust at the same time last year, getting 3.5 million viewers for its third and final episode.
NBC's average in the 18-to-49-year-old demographic on Tuesdays is up 42 percent from 2011, Nielsen said.
The story is different on Wednesday and Thursday, where NBC is down from last year. In fact, Thursday night — NBC's former "must see TV" night — is down 32 percent in the demo compared to a year ago, when it wasn't doing well in the first place.
That's not entirely unexpected, though, because it wasn't NBC's focus.
"The tendency is to look at the whole week and say, 'oh, we're going to fix this' and 'oh, we're going to fix that on another night,'" Greenblatt said. "You end up spreading out your assets and ultimately your ability to do anything significant. We were really disciplined and diligent this year and said, 'let's try to do one or two things extraordinarily well and let everything else sort of be what it is at the moment.'"
NBC advertised its new shows during the Olympics and even ran sneak previews of "Go On," ''Revolution" and "Animal Practice." True to the nature of TV's law of averages, the limp "Animal Practice" has already been cancelled.

Yandex is probably the biggest search engine few people have ever heard of. The Russian search engine has surpassed Microsoft's Bing in the world's top search engine rankings, according to Search Engine Watch, which got its data from ComScore. Coming in first place is Google with 114.7 billion search queries and 65.2 percent of the market share. China's Baidu ranked second with 14.5 billion queries and 8.2 percent share. Third was Yahoo with 8.6 billion queries and 4.9 percent share. And, fourth was Yandex with 4.8 billion queries and 2.8 percent share. Despite Yandex now ranking higher than Bing for global search, Microsoft's engine is not far behind — it had 4.4 billion queries and 2.5 percent market share. ComScore's data covers the number of worldwide search queries that took place in November and December 2012. One of the reasons that Yandex is doing so well in the search world is that it has a massive Russian-speaking audience.

A casing holding a yoke with at least one permanent magnet mounted on an inner circumference thereof is connected with a lens holder having a driving coil installed on an outer sidewall thereof between an upper spring member and a lower spring member. When the driving coil is not powered, the lens holder props against the casing at a side opposite to an imaged object. When the lens holder props against the casing, the position of the driving coil along Z axis causing a magnitude of driving magnetic field intersecting with the driving coil is 50%˜90% of a maximum value of the driving magnetic field intersecting with the driving coil while the lens holder moves toward the imaged object.

If you ever actually look through the schedule for the Olympics, you'll notice a lot of sports that just don't seem very, well, sporty. The Steeplechase. Power-Walking. Curling. And now someone wants to introduce another activity onto the world stage via the Olympics: pole dancing.
At the European pole dancing championships held last night - why is it we always hear about these events after the fact - one of the contestants began wondering aloud why this isn't an Olympic sport yet. After all, they're wearing the same skimpy outfits as gymnasts, and sometimes use even more muscle control.
From YAHOO News:
"Everything which we do requires so much strength. You train your legs and your muscles. It has nothing to do with eroticism. You have no time to think of that!" said Jeannine Wikering, the 26-year-old competitor for Germany who came third.
"I think one day it should be an Olympic sport — but that will take time. You would have to agree which moves on which to judge competitors, at the moment we all have such different routines," she added.
Actually, she does make a whole lot of sense (great minds do think alike). If she writes up some kind of petition, we'd be more than happy to sign it. And then, seeing as we'd be emotionally invested, we'd have to start following this new sport extra closely, maybe by scouting some of the new up-and-comers over at the Spearmint Rhino.

As I wrote in a recent column, I don't get offended very often. But, for the second time this summer, I was deeply offended by something written to me in response to one of my missives. It took the form of a gay reader claiming I had offended him by a prank I was involved in on a college campus. He reminded – or, tried to remind - me that gays are involved in a civil rights struggle, not unlike the one blacks faced in the sixties. That's when I got offended.
Homosexuals on the campus of UNC-Wilmington cannot be said to be involved in a civil rights struggle comparable to what blacks faced in the sixties because these homosexuals are, quite simply, not involved in a civil rights struggle at all. In fact, at my university, they enjoy special privileges that place their opponents in a position of struggling for civil rights. In other words, the homosexual reader – and self-proclaimed civil rights leader - has formed a backwards view of the situation.
The prank of hanging 1000 posters of two gay men engaged in sodomy cannot be said to be offensive to gays because the poster came from a gay magazine funded by the university at the request of campus gay activists. When we hung those posters, we were attempting to show the parents just how far out the diversity movement had become. The student who hung most of the posters was denied a position as an orientation leader at UNCW after he expressed his religious opposition to homosexuality. He wondered why the person(s) in charge of picking the orientation leaders would bring up such a private and irrelevant matter.
But the answer to that question is simple: Gays believe (and the administration agrees) that they have a constitutional right to be free from discomfort. This right trumps the religious rights of any student who opposes any aspect of the gay agenda. This is another way of saying that my pompous bosses think their diversity manuals trump the U.S. Constitution.
The now infamous "1000 poster prank" was meant to show parents – on Parent's Weekend, no less – that university officials are lying when they say they want to protect students from being offended. In truth, they want to protect gays from offense while simultaneously funding their graphic speech – no matter how offensive it is to Christians. That is the point my gay readers miss - or, perhaps, pretend to miss – on a regular basis.
And, of course, let us not underestimate the importance of the employees' response of immediately rushing to pull the 1000 posters down. It shows that deep down inside they are ashamed of the graphic nature of the gay "civil rights struggle," too. They simply cannot defend to the general public the things they are doing privately with public funds.

Arizona Cardinals
Cardinals' Dockett tweets he's glad season is almost over
Darnell Dockett's 2012 season has probably not gone according to plan.
The 31-year-old has just 34 tackles and 1.5 sacks, failing to make an impact in many games.
Oh, and there was that whole dust-up with Kerry Rhodes at the end of the New York Jets game, which led to the defensive lineman sustaining a hefty fine.
Well, with one game left to play, Dockett took to his twitter page to tell the world his thoughts on the regular season coming to a close.
"Damn I'm glad this season is damn near over! I wanna hit the reset button like on madden and start over…..[profanity]"
Dockett has appeared to be unhappy with head coach Ken Whisenhunt as well as the situation the team finds itself in, especially with his side of the ball playing well while the offense is barely functional most games.
And not unlike many of the team's fans, Dockett is looking forward to turning the page on 2012 with hopes of a better future.

Well I'm trying to achieve a very simple interface. I essentially want to post a tutorial with the instructions on the front page of my website. However this theme is basically showing a preview of the post and removing my spaces, formatting, etc.
What I would like is for each post to take up the front page. How can I achieve this functionality.
My site is: http://mikefromit.comhttp://mikefromit.comOctober 18, 2013 at 8:36 am #67328
You can try this. Genesis… Theme Settings. Scroll down to Content Archves and change to "Display Post Content". The only thing I noticed about that is that if you want commenting on your page, the commenting stuff doesn't show up there, but that may not be what you want anyway.
And then in the regular Settings… Reading area you can select how many items to show on the front page as needed.
Cheers, Dave
October 18, 2013 at 8:52 am #67332
Thanks a lot for the suggestions and now I have more than one post showing which is great. However, I would like them to show up the same way as when you click on them. I want them to be full and in all their glory. It has been a long time since I got into the internals of wordpress but I think I might have to find and edit the genesis_loop or something like that. I can't remember. Does that sound feasible?

I kind of psychically predicted you might say that. Amazingly, I have never run into that request before. Probably because it could get very unwieldy. If you have lots of comments, then your home page could increase to infinity. Another fun problem is that I've heard that the commenting bits would tend to send the person to the single Post page anyway when they submit them, possibly causing confusion. Personally, I wouldn't bother.
You're in for some coding if you truly want that. Here's a thought. You can copy Genesis templates into your child theme folder and hack them. Look in the Genesis theme folder, and copy any desired template from there into the child theme folder. You may also need to look in /wp-content/themes/genesis/lib/structure for some of them, like archives.php. I'm not certain that that's the one you'll need, but it may be.
Then you can try this guy's idea, and see if it works!
Good luck, Dave
October 18, 2013 at 12:16 pm #67376
I would still rather the comments show up after the person has clicked the title of the blog post.
I would just like the blog post from the main page to look "full" rather than "condensed".
I've started creating my own child theme to see if I can get the functionality I need.
If you have any more ideas please let me know!October 18, 2013 at 12:37 pm #67387
I started a child theme but realized I don't really have the time to learn how to do that.
I was able to get the functionality I needed from the minimum theme and editing the minimum_grid_loop_helper function.
I set the features setting to 10. However, I know once I get past 10 I'll run into an issue with them being in grid on the bottom. Please check the site http://mikefromit.com and see if there is a way to get what I have with minimum into wintersong.
function minimum_grid_loop_helper() {
if ( function_exists( 'genesis_grid_loop' ) ) {
genesis_grid_loop( array(
'features' => 10,
'feature_image_size' => 'featured',

You know, I'm sorry to tell you this, but I give general suggestions and guidance – this goes beyond the scope of free help, at least for me. If it were something I thought was a good idea, or was extremely interesting, I might take it a bit further. Not in this case, though.
Good luck.

—student at an evangelical college
Hookup culture may dominate the student social scene of spiritual colleges, but students at evangelical schools face unique pressures of their own. They are preoccupied with finding a spouse for life, not with finding a sexual partner for the evening.
This reality was underscored for me by a spiky-haired young man who happened to be the first person I interviewed at an evangelical university. What he had to tell me made it sound as if he had been teleported from the 1950s—a time when women went to college not to get a B.A. or a B.S., but to get their Mrs.

Wonderful production! My only angst would be the seats we were assigned. Since I was a red Velvet member, I was hoping I would be getting good seats this time. I even bought the tickets weeks ahead of time. Unfortunately, the seats assigned were worse than the seats I was getting when I wasn't paying the velvet price. It was in the far corner by the light crew control box.

Cowen has got to go ASAP.
You're missing the point, Fina Fail's unpopularity is largely due to the huge bank bailouts, recapitalisations, and favourable schemes created to benefit the banks. No one expects miracles from anyone here, but we expect organisations like Anglo, which operated as a glorified hedge fund, to be allowed to go bankrupt in an orderly manner, as it is even subordinated debt holders haven't had to take a haircut in Irelands banks.
"Can Newsweek see something we can't?"
Yes - the IMF/World Bank and similar Chicago School (Milton Friedman) shock doctrinaires.
(Compare Haiti's and Pakistan's awful situations: in Haiti, the bodies weren't yet located and buried, when businessmen were already plotting their in-roads; and in Pakistan, the aid hasn't reached all of the millions of civilians in desperate conditions yet, but the IMF have swooped in with offerings to the government, and the associated "conditions".)
From what I read that IS his point. Cowen is trying to fix a mess that his party created.

Texting and driving now a primary offense
By Katie Miecznikowski
The newly signed distracted drivers law has increased the penalty for motorists caught texting while driving and makes it a primary offence, allowing allows law enforcement to pull over motorists suspected solely of using an handheld electronic device.
Photo by AP
July 18, 2011
Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a distracted drivers law July 12 that stiffens the penalty for people caught using handheld electronic devices while driving.
The law makes texting a primary offense and increases the penalty from two points to three added to driver's license. The monetary fine remains up to $150.
"I am proud to sign this bill today, both as the governor and as a father of three teenagers," Cuomo said. "It's plain and simple: Distracted driving leads to tragedies that have affected families all across New York. This new law will help ensure that drivers keep their eyes on the road and their hands on the wheel."
Holding an electronic device, sending or viewing electronic data — such as text or image messages — and playing games are activities that can warrant a ticket. The law does not restrict using a handheld device affixed to a surface or using an attached GPS device.

Though also illegal before this legislation, using handheld electronic devices was just a secondary offense, meaning police officers needed a separate reason to pull over motorists. Now, because it is a primary offense, a ticket requires no other transgression.
"As a former police officer, I've seen the devastation caused by distracted drivers," said Assemblyman Harvey Weisenberg, D-Long Beach, a sponsor of the bill, who began working on this legislation several years ago. "Today, we are giving law enforcement the tools they need to keep our roads safe and prevent future accidents. These changes will save lives."
The family of 53-year-old father and husband Tian Sheng Lin was at the bill signing at the Javits Center in Manhattan. Lin died last September after a motorist ran him over while texting. This tragedy, Cuomo said, brought the issue of distracted driving to light and prompted state leaders to act.
"They were there crying," said Weisenberg. "The accident happened in September and they were still suffering. We don't want other families to suffer like that."
The assemblyman says he hopes this bill will give police officers a better opportunity to enforce the law.
Last year all New York police agencies — from the state police to village police departments — issued more than 3,000 tickets to drivers caught texting, a secondary offense at the time. In California, where texting is a primary offense, a similar number of tickets were issued by just one agency. In New Jersey, where this is also a primary offense, they issue about 10,000 citations each month.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 16 percent of fatal accidents in 2009 were due to distracted driving. A national study by AAA found 1 in 5 drivers text or read e-mails while driving.
This law will not penalize police officers, fire fighters, or emergency vehicle drivers who use handheld devices while doing their job. Drivers who are in contact with or trying to contact law enforcement, the fire department, or medical personnel during an emergency are also excused.
"With this new legislation, New York state driving laws have finally caught up with today's technology," said Sen. Carl L. Marcellino, R-Oyster Bay, a sponsor of the bill. "Our new law will strengthen enforcement against drivers using handheld electronic devices and help keep drivers, passengers, and pedestrians safe. I am proud to stand with Governor Cuomo as he signs the bill I sponsored into law and we finally make distracted driving a serious offense."
With the new distracted driving law now in effect, New York joins nine other states in categorizing the use of handheld devices while driving a primary offense — California, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon, Utah, and Washington — as well as the District of Columbia.
According to the Governors Highway Safety Association, 34 states, Washington, D.C. and Guam have all banned text messaging while driving. An additional seven states prohibit new drivers from text messaging behind the wheel.
To avoid distracted driving, the association recommends motorists turn off phones while driving, ask passengers to use any handheld devices or pull over before using one.

Cops in court on extortion chargesComment on this story
Two senior police officials appeared in the Bellville Specialised Commercial Crime Court on Thursday after allegedly trying to blackmail a fruit and vegetable hawker.
Warrant Officers Bruce Denzil Dirkse and Brian Julius face charges of attempted extortion.
According to the charge sheet, they are based at the Bellville railway station, where the hawker plied her trade.
The charge sheet alleges that Dirkse confiscated liquor in her possession on two occasions, and she reported him when he did so again in December.
He then demanded R270 to return her liquor.
She was able to pay only R130, and a surveillance operation was set up after Dirkse said he would return later for the remaining R140.
In the surveillance operation, the hawker was given the R140 to give to Dirkse, and when she did so Dirkse and Julius were arrested in a nearby building.
According to the charge sheet, police found Dirkse in possession of R40 in marked notes, and Julius in possession of a marked R100
Both men make their second court appearance on June 8. - Sapa

BevNET Review

In the rebranding of ChanTea to TEAloe, the only flavor that didn't make the cut was Lemon (which was our favorite). In its place comes this flavor, Mint. While we'd still like to see Lemon back as part of the lineup, the mint variety is pretty enjoyable. Think of it as mint-flavored green tea sweetened with sugar and enhanced with aloe pulp -- that's exactly what this product is. It's definitely a thirst-quenching and enjoyable product to consume and the aloe bits are definitely something that, at least in our opinion, add to the overall experience of the drink. Taking a look at the package, we like the move to a 16 oz. bottle and the fact that the product is made in the U.S. (most aloe vera drinks are made in Asia). However, it feels a little too safe, with a text heavy design that's extremely simple at the expense of having any real identifying mark. Fortunately, we think that they could, with the aid of a package designer, address this within the framework that they've created. Until then, we just worry that this product, which is definitely pleasing to drink, will be missed due it's lack of visual excitement.
