TV Review: 'The Philanthropist'
There's the oft-told joke of the two diners at the restaurant. The first pushes his plate aside and says, "The food here is terrible." The second nods and pushes his plate aside, carping, "Yes, and such small portions."
Thanks to the illusory concept of 52-week network scheduling, this summer has actually offered a different spin. The brain food offered by the four-ish networks has been pretty dreadful this summer (thank heavens for cable), but it's been an all-you-can-eat smorgasbord. Beyond the usual diversity of reality shows, this summer has been awash with new scripted shows on at least three networks (CBS just doesn't care).
ABC has been steadily burning off shows that either failed during the season or didn't make it on at all. On the plus side, that's meant episodes of "Pushing Daisies" and "Eli Stone" and "Better Off Ted" and even "The Goode Family," but it's also meant "Surviving Suburbia" and the last few episodes of "According to Jim." For FOX and NBC, it's been a summer of oddball, low-budget, no-star international cost-cutting originals, ersatz takeoffs on familiar genres resembling eighth generation photocopies. Some viewers have liked "Mental" or "Merlin" or "The Listener" because they resemble other shows that offered greater enjoyment in the past.
Because TV critics invariably grade on a curve, NBC's new series "The Philanthropist" deserves to get credit for what ought to be a foregone conclusion: It looks and feels like a professionally made television series.
That may, in fact, be slightly underselling the potential virtues of "The Philanthropist."
[Review after the break.]
"Rome" veteran James Purefoy stars as Teddy Rist, a billionaire playboy who finds renewed purpose in life when he begins collecting stamps.
Wait. Strike that. That's actually the plot summary of next summer's NBC drama "The Philatelist," which will be produced at a lower cost.
Purefoy's Rist is, indeed, a wealthy drunk and philanderer whose excesses are tied both to his available income, but also to the death of his son and estrangement from his wife (Krista Allen). In Africa, in the middle of a hurricane, Rist sees one miserable, homeless child and suddenly everything changes. Faster than you can see "Liberal Guilt: The Series," Rist realizes that there's no point in being rich if you can't help people, which is both a worthy goal and a subject of confusion for his friend and business partner Philip Maidstone (Jesse L. Martin). Maidstone is also married to Rist's ex, Olivia (Neve Campbell), the woman in charge of the company's non-profit wing.
The show's concept and Rist's conversion experience run the risk of making a mockery of the deeply meaningful charity that ordinary people everyday. Why are we celebrating this boor of a man who had to personally imprint with one cute kid in order to realize he just might be able to do good with his money? I mean, he's like Bruce Wayne, if Bruce Wayne went around boasting about being Batman. Fortunately, Tom Fontana's script recognizes that altruism aside, Rist's good deeds are about his own personal expiation.
"This isn't about helping me or anyone else," a Nigerian doctor chides him. "This is about you, playing the role of the charming, rich businessman who travels the world getting his hands just dirty enough to go back home and tell his American friends how meaningful his life is compared to theirs."
The arc of the episode is meant to prove her wrong, but she isn't totally off-base and Fontana and company are smart enough to see that portraying Rist as a selfless saint would be excruciatingly disingenuous or maybe disingenuously excruciating.
Purefoy doesn't have that sort of character in him anyway. I don't want to say Purefoy excels at playing buffoons, but his more interesting characters balance a short of nobility and buffoonery. The British actor, blessedly allowed to use his own accent, is part of the post-Daniel Craig vanguard of stars who have caused domestic casting directors to say, "Ummm... Why aren't American actors this manly?" That's why the pipelines have opened to welcome the likes of Simon Baker and Damian Lewis to the small screen. Purefoy is like Thomas Jane, only with a personality! Without Purefoy's playful nature, "The Philanthropist" might sink under its own self-importance. But it doesn't.
Appreciation for "The Philanthropist" almost requires that you ignore the pilot, or that you're prepared to look past it. This is a series which, on many levels, does not put its best foot forward. It's an origin story explaining Rist's new-found conscience, but the entire episode has been framed as Teddy's rambling explanation to a comely bartender we'll never see again. It's a clunky and unnecessary device, one that keeps running the storytelling aground just when the drama is picking up. And some of the action scenes are pretty spiffy, with menacing drug lords, natural disasters and gunfights on all sides. Every time they cut back to an increasingly drunk Rist at the bar, more momentum is lost.
I suppose the waitress is supposed to stand-in for the viewers, raising her eyebrow when we raise ours, but it plays like they didn't quite have the courage to do one of those "Alias"/"West Wing"-type episodes that begins with something shocking happening, followed by a title card reading "48 Hours Earlier" and then shows us how we got to that point, but they still wanted the show to play out like a mystery.
How did Rist end up in the African jungle?
How did he end up on a dirt-bike?
Why isn't he wearing any shoes?
Is this really what the series is about?
Well, if you've read any of the stories about the behind-the-scenes struggles to get the show off the ground, creatively, you know there was some debate about that last question, about the story Fontana wanted to tell and the story NBC wanted told. The pilot's split personality can probably be chalked up to that tumult.
Building the show around Purefoy's exclusive narration is both clunky and, for the pilot at least, it leaves a lot of well-liked actors doing almost nothing. I can't say for sure what Martin and Campbell are going to be adding to "The Philanthropist," because for the pilot, the answer is "Nothing at all." I can guess that the show will eventually make more use of them, but that Michael K. Williams -- Omar Little to fans of "The Wire" -- will continue to be totally wasted as Rist's bodyguard.
The "Philanthropist" pilot was directed by Peter Horton and shot on location in Nigeria. And yes, it's really Nigeria and they call it Nigeria. This isn't "24" going to South Africa, calling it Sangala and basically making a monolithic lie out of Africa. "The Philanthropist" may lose points for holier-than-though attitude, but it deserves credit for its specificity and for looking like it cost a ton (money which may, we hope, have gone into the local infrastructures in addition to going onto the screen).
On a screener DVD, "The Philanthropist" looked good, but in high-def, it'll look even better. With subsequent episodes shot in Kashmir, Burma and Kosovo, production values will be reason enough to keep tuning in. Whether the supporting casting rises to Purefoy's level and whether the storytelling can dodge the self-inflicted pitfalls of the pilot will be a different issue.

Liverpool went through to the Capital One Cup final on penalties.
It's fair to say it went off on social media.
Simon Mignolet saved Marc Muniesa's penalty, allowing Joe Allen to slot home on a famous Anfield night.
How quickly things can change. Supporters were fuming at being taken all the way to spot kicks, but that was soon forgotten as Allen and Mignolet took centre stage.
Not to mention a bit of Jurgen Klopp, too.

Rated 2 out of 5 by AnnoyedListener from Brilliant music, shame about rowdy older women Matts woods was brilliant. Left before the other bands as I could barely hear the music over 5 or so drunk women "catching up" by shouting at each other at a gig. Shame as what we heard was brilliant and the venue was awesome.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Russ1 from Rocking night. Cool night. A gig in a church is a bit surreal, especially with a bar at the back... But love the progressive attitude. Not sure if the vicar was in da house..

Kindness is a simple word but those involved with The Kindness Revolution know actions speak louder than words.
After more than a dozen years of operating Hilltop Produce and Garden Center, owners Gerald and Sandra Stucker say they are ready to sell the business to focus on enjoying the fruits of their labor.
The couple of 33 years said they have owned and operated the local produce store at 305 Frankfort Road for 13 of those years because they "needed something to do."
Rumors have been stirring for some time regarding the former Winn-Dixie building at 120 Midland Boulevard. But officials with STCPF, LLC, the Kentucky-based Planet Fitness franchisee, have confirmed that the 42,000 square-foot-building in the Midland Center will soon be home to a new Planet Fitness location, one of more than 1,100 nationwide.
There's been a boom in the beekeeping business and Pat Hornback, a veteran in the field, said the peaked interest is a good thing.
"One-third of our food is dependent on pollination," she said, noting that pollinators need to be protected. "We're happy about the hype. It brought beekeeping to the forefront and people are trying it."
With temperatures lingering in the 90s, summer is heating up and so are the some summer-related retail items. Rural King assistant manager Kim Matthews said they have been selling tons of fans and lawn-related items.
She said sales have remained high.
Sales may not be so hot across the map, however. CNNMoney reported that retail sales in June fell .3 percent from May. This data, they noted, is surprising because April and May were also both slow retail seasons, despite the expectation that sales would bounce back after a slow winter.
Shelbyville commuters who look to Thorntons for their morning coffee may be disappointed for a few weeks this summer. The Midland Trail store is expected to close at the beginning of August for renovations.
Rex Loeffler, a representative with Thorntons, said they expect the store's revamping to take about 40 days, but it could be longer.
"This is a little older store so there may be a little more involved," he said.
Eyebrows have been rising as the former Jeff Wyler Chevrolet Buick GMC lot on Taylorsville Road started filling up with trucks again over the last few weeks.
After sitting vacant for nearly a year, there are now about 200 white incomplete work trucks occupying the space but despite people stopping by to look, there are no salespeople coming out.
Rick Hill with Auto Truck Group, located in Kingbrook Commerce Center in Simpsonville, assures those vehicles are not for sale.
It's small, metal, beaten and banged up, and there's probably a light coat of sawdust gathering in the bottom but to John Abild, owner of Restoration Workshop of Shelbyville, his toolbox is a treasure chest filled with the tools to beautify just about any piece of neglected woodwork.
And his toolbox has garnered national attention this month in the Best Toolbox in America contest, a photo contest sponsored by Angie's List, an online service containing crowd-sourced reviews of local businesses.
Only two years after reopening the NAPA Auto Parts store in Shelbyville, the Riner Group has already distinguished itself in the industry, earning the prestigious Five Star Excellence Award for 2015.
The five-star status is awarded based on achievement in sales growth, store presentation, wholesale marketing and education and training.
The NAPA store, located at 114 Main St. in Shelbyville, had closed in 2012, and was reopened the following spring by Shelby Riner, owner of Derby Cycles.
As we welcome spring, many of us emerge from a long winter spent in the comfort of our warm homes to celebrate the new season with picnics and trips to the lake.
The aroma of barbeque chicken roasting on the grill and grass clippings fill in the air, our spirits rise with the temperature, as does the price of fuel, just when we need it most.
Last Wednesday fuel prices in Shelby County surpassed that fateful $2 mark, costing drivers about 50 cents more per gallon than last month, according to Gasbuddy.com.

Week in Weld: Student has opportunity to face teacher
April 16, 2014
If you build it ...
Platte Valley's record the season before Jerod Cronquist was named coach:
» 2011: 1-10 Class 3A Patriot League, 4-14 overall
Season-by-season results since Cronquist took over:
» 2012: 2-9 Patriot, 5-14 overall
» 2013: 4-5 Patriot, 8-10 overall
» Current season: 0-0 Patriot, 6-2 overall (going into Saturday's game against Sterling)
Jerod Cronquist has come a long way since he called Matt Nylund coach.
Now Cronquist hopes the Platte Valley baseball program comes a long way with its players calling Cronquist coach.
On Tuesday, Cronquist — the Broncos' third-year coach — reunited on the baseball field with Nylund, who was the coach at Greeley Central during Cronquist's senior season with the Wildcats in 2001.
Nylund is now an assistant coach for Fort Lupton, which fell to Cronquist's Broncos 5-3 on Tuesday, as Platte Valley improved to 6-2.
Though Nylund's Bluedevils came out on the wrong end of the scoreboard, that didn't stop Nylund from flashing a bit of a gleam in his eye as he spoke about his former pupil.
"I hope they win every game other than when they're playing us," Nylund said of Cronquist's Broncos. "Visiting with their third baseman (Jesus Lopez) for a little bit, it just seems like they're excited and they're doing things for (Cronquist) that he wants them to do. It's just really, really neat to see."
As proud as Nylund was to stare across the diamond at his protege, Cronquist was just as elated to reunite with his longtime mentor.
"It was really cool to go against him, and it was even better to beat him," Cronquist said with a hearty laugh. "He's the one who got me into coaching, to be honest with you. I didn't really even think about it until high school."
Cronquist's first coaching gig was as an assistant under Nylund during the summer after Cronquist finished high school.
"(Nylund) contacted me after I graduated and asked me to help out with the Legion C (team)," Cronquist said. "I was 19 years old then. And, here I am, 31, and the rest is history."
Nylund took over for Mike Huston at the turn of the century after Huston took the coaching job at newly-opened Northridge.
Nylund coached at Greeley Central for six years — coaching Cronquist for one of those — before coaching at Prairie View for three years.
Nylund said even 13 years ago, he could tell Cronquist had all the attributes to one day be a head coach.
"He had two things: He always was a very personable kid and very respectful to people. And, he always was a student of the game," said Nylund, who still teaches at Prairie View. "It was really cool when I got his phone call saying he got the job here (in Kersey). He said, 'I want you to be the first to know.' And, it was one of those moments where this is why you coach. This is why you teach."
And now, moments after Cronquist's club played error-free baseball, coupled with sound defense, consistent offense and fundamentally-sound pitching, Cronquist has again made an impression on his former coach.
"I'm really proud of the job he's done here," Nylund said. "He's done a wonderful job. … You get off the bus and the first thing you see is a nice, new infield; nice, new dugouts; a nice, new double batting cage. So, I think the community has bought into him and the kids have bought into him and what he's doing."
A decade-plus after last playing for Nylund, Cronquist said he's never lost contact with his old ball coach.
"We stay in touch still to this day, which is a cool thing about sports: It forms those relationships," Cronquist said.

This review is from: MUSTANG MV-STAT4B Flat Panel Wall Mount for 55"-70" Flat Panel Display
Pros: It had a plethora of screws included and very nicely arranged. The bracket is solid and installed onto the wall and tv easily.
Cons: There were 3 lengths of screws that fit my tv. The short ones where too short and the medium ones were too long. I felt like I was bottoming them out about 1/4 turn too early. You could through in an extra washer to make up the difference.
The safety / no steal bar included is pretty difficult to install. I decided to just skip it as my kids aren't pushing or pulling on the tv.
Other Thoughts: Make sure you install it right side up. There are little tabs on each end of the bracket that will stop the tv from sliding too far to either size.
Allocate 1 - 2 hours for this project. All that is needed is a drill, a level, allen wrench (provided), and something to drive in lag bolts (socket or crescent wrench).
This review is from: Intel BOXDH61CRB3 LGA 1155 Intel H61 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: A decent board, well laid out, a metric ton of usb headers.
Would recommend for non Windows Home Server duties.
Cons: There are no legitimate network card drivers for this motherboard for Windows Home Server 2011 / Windows Server 2008 from Intel. Since a network card is required for a WHS install I had to drop in some decrepit pci network card lying around to get to a point where I can find a hacked driver.
Other Thoughts: I get it Intel, you don't want people buying cheap boards for server installs. But when a person can drop in a $5 pci nic card you are only complicating someones life.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Linksys WRT54GL 802.11b/g Wireless Broadband Router up to 54 Mbps/ Compatible with Open Source DD-WRT (not pre-load)
Pros: I use it as a Wireless Access Point with routing work being done elsewhere in the network.
Rock Solid. It's only gone weird once and even at that I could log into it via LAN, soft reset, and it returned to normal.
It can do custom firmware like DD-WRT and others but for my needs (WAP) I didn't need it.
Cons: It's a bit pricey for such an old design. But worth it!
Other Thoughts: I'm using the stock firmware and it does what 95% of the users need it to. That's why I always recommend this to coworkers when they want to know what to buy.
Looking forward to playing with multiple SSIDs and port based VLANs via DD-WRT when I get the chance.

BASF learns cause of Swedish potato mix-up
AFP/The Local · 25 Sep 2010, 10:08
Published: 25 Sep 2010 10:08 GMT+02:00
- 'Frankenfood' spuds in Sweden due to 'error' (09 Sep 10)
- 'Frankenfood' potatoes turn up in Swedish field (06 Sep 10)
- New potatoes make early appearance (29 Jan 08)
"This root cause analysis identified the temporary cultivation of Amadea and Amflora plants in the same physical space in the early seed propagation stage as the cause for the co-mingling," BASF wrote in a statement.
The head of its plant science division, Peter Eckes, was quoted as saying, "We traced back the cause and can narrow the comingling down to a part of our harvest in Sweden.
He added, "The mixup occurred because Amadea and Amflora plants were in close proximity to each other at our facilities. We regret this very much. To prevent such mistakes in the future, we will ensure complete separation of the production systems for Amadea and Amflora."
Amflora has been cleared for cultivation in the Czech Republic, Germany and Sweden, but Amadea has not yet been approved by European Union authorities.
The two strains of starch potato are designed for industrial uses such as the manufacturing of glue and paper but not for human consumption. BASF said it would discard the harvests from all the affected potato fields in northern Sweden, an area that covers around 16 hectares.

Premier Wade MacLauchlan.
The huge headline jumps out at you: "Pleading for input" (Saturday's Guardian). The article says public meetings on electoral reform in P.E.I. are not garnering much interest. Not much wonder, when the premier comes out in the media and basically says he's not in favour of electoral reform "we shouldn't try to upset the apple cart or to completely change what has been a system that, frankly, has people engaged." I'm sure a lot of voters are thinking "why bother?"
Why would he want to mess with a system that gave the Liberals an 18-9 seat majority with less than 41 per cent of Island voters' support? That is engaged? Would a system other than 'first past the post' have elected Wade and his Liberals? It's questionable, and I'm sure it's something the good old boys' club doesn't want to find out.
'First-past-the-post'? Sounds more like a horse race than good government practice. But, then, we've also elected a cabinet minister by flipping a coin.

Applying systems thinking to analyze and learn from eventsNancy G. Leveson
Volume 49, Issue 1, January 2011, Pages 55-64
Major accidents keep occurring that seem preventable and that have similar systemic causes. Too often, we fail to learn from the past and make inadequate changes in response to losses. Examining the assumptions and paradigms underlying safety engineering may help identify the problem. The assumptions questioned in this paper involve four different areas: definitions of safety and its relationship to reliability, accident causality models, retrospective vs. prospective analysis, and operator error. Alternatives based on systems thinking are proposed. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
A dynamic cellular automaton model for evacuation process with obstaclesR. Alizadeh
Volume 49, Issue 2, February 2011, Pages 315-323
A dynamic cellular automaton (CA) model is proposed to simulate the evacuation process in the rooms with obstacles. Besides the basic parameters such as human psychology, placement of the doors, doors width, position of the obstacles and light of the environment, distribution of the crowd plays an important role in this model. Applying our model, simulation of the evacuation process for a restaurant and a classroom are presented. Also effects of pedestrians distribution, doors position and doors width on the evacuation time are discussed and the obtained results are compared with several static models. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
Application of a trapezoidal fuzzy AHP method for work safety evaluation and early warning rating of hot and humid environmentsGuozhong Zheng | Neng Zhu | Zhe Tian | Ying Chen | Binhui Sun
Volume 50, Issue 2, February 2012, Pages 228-239
Hot and humid environments are prevalent in many industries. People working in hot and humid environments are at great risk of specific heat-related disorders, the productivity decrease and safety problems. In order to guarantee workers' health and safety, safety evaluation and early warning rating of the hot and humid environments are studied in this paper. The fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method is proposed to evaluate the work safety in hot and humid environments. Trapezoidal fuzzy numbers are adopted to handle inherent uncertainty and imprecision of the data involved in decision process. Within the proposed methodology, a decision group is firstly established. A safety evaluation framework containing three factors (work, environment, and workers) and ten sub-factors are established. The fuzzy weights of the factors and sub-factors are calculated based on the pair-wise comparisons. Then the fuzzy evaluating vectors of the sub-factors and factors can be calculated according to the initial evaluation data. Therefore, the comprehensive safety index, safety grade and early warning grade can be determined. An example is given to demonstrate the proposed method. The results demonstrate the engineering practicability and effectiveness of this method in extreme environment evaluation. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Identifying critical success factors in emergency management using a fuzzy DEMATEL methodQuan Zhou | Weilai Huang | Ying Zhang
Volume 49, Issue 2, February 2011, Pages 243-252
Since unexpected natural disasters have been causing enormous losses all over the world, emergency management is receiving more and more attention recently. However, most existing studies generally focus on optimization models of specific activities instead of studying the system as a whole. Moreover, the performance of emergency management may be affected by various different factors and it is always difficult for the practitioners to improve all aspects at the same time. In view of the constraint of resources, this paper brings forward an imperative issue on how to enhance emergency management by segmenting complex influencing factors into groups to improve them in a stepwise way. To address this concern involving the vagueness of human judgments, an effective method that combines fuzzy logic and decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) is used. Considering the interdependence among factors, this fuzzy DEMATEL method forms a structural model and then visualizes the causal relationships among factors through a cause-effect relationship diagram. Then according to the results of proposed method, critical success factor (CSF) of emergency management is figured out. Finally, 5 CSFs are identified out of 20 influencing factors, and all factors can be achieved in a stepwise way for better promoting the effectiveness and efficiency of emergency management. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
Robustness of the western United States power grid under edge attack strategies due to cascading failuresJian Wei Wang | Li Li Rong
Volume 49, Issue 6, July 2011, Pages 807-812
Power systems are the basic support of modern infrastructures and protecting them from random failures or intentional attacks is an active topic of research in safety science. This paper is motivated by the following two related problems about cascading failures on power grids: efficient edge attack strategies and lower cost protections on edges. Applying the recent cascading model by adopting a local load redistribution rule, where the initial load of an edge ij is (kikj)θ with ki and kj being the degrees of the nodes connected by the edge, we investigate the performance of the power grid of the western United States subject to three intentional attacks. Simulation results show that the effects of different attacks for the network robustness against cascading failures have close relations with the tunable parameter θ. Particularly, the attack on the edges with the lower load in the case of θ<1.4 can result in larger cascading failures than the one on the edges with the higher load. In addition, compared with the other two attacks, a new attack, i.e., removing the edges with the smallest proportion between the total capacities of the neighboring edges of and the capacity of the attacked edge, usually are prone to trigger cascading failures over the US power grid. Our findings will be not only helpful to protect the key edges selected effectively to avoid cascading-failure-induced disasters, but also useful in the design of high-robustness and low-cost infrastructure networks. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
Building Safety indicators: Part 1 - Theoretical foundationK. Øien | I. B. Utne | I. A. Herrera
Volume 49, Issue 2, February 2011, Pages 148-161
Development of early warning indicators to prevent major accidents - to 'build safety' - should rest on a sound theoretical foundation, including basic concepts, main perspectives and past developments, as well as an overview of the present status and ongoing research. In this paper we have established the theoretical basis for development of indicators used as early warnings of major accidents. Extensive work on indicators have been carried out in the past, and this could and should have been better utilized by industry, e.g., by focusing more on major hazard indicators, and less on personal safety indicators. Recent discussions about safety indicators have focused on the distinction between leading and lagging indicators; however, a discussion on terms should not impede the development of useful indicators that can provide (early) warnings about potential major accidents. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
Developing safety indicators for preventing offshore oil and gas deepwater drilling blowoutsJon Espen Skogdalen | Ingrid B. Utne | Jan Erik Vinnem
Volume 49, Issues 8-9, October 2011, Pages 1187-1199
An important question with respect to the Macondo blowout is whether the accident is a symptom of systemic safety problems in the deepwater drilling industry. An answer to such a question is hard to obtain unless the risk level of the oil and gas (O&G) industry is monitored and evaluated over time. This article presents information and indicators from the Risk Level Project (RNNP) in the Norwegian O&G industry related to safety climate, barriers and undesired incidents, and discusses the relevance for deepwater drilling. The main focus of the major hazard indicators in RNNP is on production installations, whereas only a limited number of incident indicators and barrier indicators are related to mobile drilling units. The number of kicks is an important indicator for the whole drilling industry, because it is an incident with the potential to cause a blowout. Currently, the development and monitoring of safety indicators in the O&G industry seems to be limited to a short list of "accepted" indicators, but there is a need for more extensive monitoring and understanding. This article suggests areas of extensions of the indicators in RNNP for drilling based on experience from the Macondo blowout. The areas are related to schedule and cost, well planning, operational aspects, well incidents, operators' well response, operational aspects and status of safety critical equipment. Indicators are suggested for some of the areas. For other areas, more research is needed to identify the indicators and their relevance and validity. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Young drivers' sensation seeking, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control and their roles in predicting speeding intention: How risk-taking motivations evolve with gender and driving experienceJulien Cestac | Françoise Paran | Patricia Delhomme
Volume 49, Issue 3, March 2011, Pages 424-432
Aim: The objective of this research, based on an extended version of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB, Ajzen, 1985), was to study factors likely to influence young French drivers' intention to drive faster than 110 km/h on a road where the speed limit is 90 km/h. In addition to the TPB factors, we took into account the following factors: past behavior, sensation seeking, comparative judgment of risk, and - taken from the Prototype Willingness Model (Gibbons and Gerrard, 1995) - self-descriptions, typical-deviant descriptions and perceived similarity to the typical deviant. Sample: A questionnaire survey was conducted on 3002 drivers ages 18-25. They were distinguished according to gender and driving experience (time since obtaining driver's license): novices (less than 1. year), beginners (1. year to less than 3. years), and more experienced drivers (3. years or more). Results and discussion: Determinants of the intention to speed were mostly attitude, normative variables, and past behavior. The regression model explained 72% of the variance. Men had a slightly higher intention to speed than did women. The impact of sensation seeking and injunctive norms was stronger on men's intention to speed, whereas self-descriptions variables had a greater impact on women's intention. Speeding intention increased with driving experience. The influence of sensation seeking was stronger among the novices, normative influence was stronger for the beginners, and perceived behavioral control had the greatest impact among the more experienced drivers. The results are discussed in terms of processes and applications. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
Working to rule, or working safely? Part 1: A state of the art reviewAndrew Hale | David Borys
Volume 55, Issue , June 2013, Pages 207-221
The paper reviews the literature from 1986 on the management of those safety rules and procedures which relate to the workplace level in organisations. It contrasts two different paradigms of how rules and their development and use are perceived and managed. The first is a top-down classical, rational approach in which rules are seen as static, comprehensive limits of freedom of choice, imposed on operators at the sharp end and violations are seen as negative behaviour to be suppressed. The second is a bottom-up constructivist view of rules as dynamic, local, situated constructions of operators as experts, where competence is seen to a great extent as the ability to adapt rules to the diversity of reality. The paper explores the research underlying and illustrating these two paradigms, drawn from psychology, sociology and ethnography, organisational studies and behavioural economics. In a separate paper following on from this review (Hale and Borys, this issue) the authors propose a framework of rule management which attempts to draw the lessons from both paradigms. It places the monitoring and adaptation of rules central to its management process. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
Visibility-related fatalities related to construction equipmentJimmie W. Hinze | Jochen Teizer
Volume 49, Issue 5, June 2011, Pages 709-718
The construction industry annually experiences one of the highest fatality rates among the industrial sectors in the United States. The factors that contribute to this reputation include the nature of the work, human behavior, the tools and equipment involved, and also the compact work zones. Industrial fatalities are investigated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). While OSHA groups the causes of fatalities into a few general categories, too little information is gleaned to effectively target specific problem areas. To improve safety performance in the construction industry, it is necessary to understand the underlying causes of accidents. With targeted analysis, patterns emerge and causal factors can be identified. These findings may then be used to form the basis for recommendations that will help to improve construction worker safety. Little research has been conducted in this area. Research was conducted that isolated fatalities in which vision or lack of good visibility was the principle factor or contributing cause. The objective of examining the details surrounding these fatalities was to uncover the contributing factors and to identify the agents that compromised visibility. The study identified 659 fatality accidents from a data pool of 13511 OSHA-investigated cases. It was discovered that blind spots, obstructions and lighting conditions were the most common factors contributing to vision-related fatalities. This research also analyzed the specific conditions associated with particular pieces of construction equipment. © 2011.
Occupational injury and accident research: A comprehensive reviewVivek V. Khanzode | J. Maiti | P. K. Ray
Volume 50, Issue 5, June 2012, Pages 1355-1367
In this paper, a comprehensive review of the concepts of occupational injury and accident causation and prevention is presented. Starting with hazard identification, the issues on risk assessment, accident causation, and intervention strategies are discussed progressively. The distinctiveness and overlaps in accident and injury research are highlighted. Both empirical research in terms of hypotheses tested and theoretical research such as accident causation models are compared and contrasted. Finally, based on the critical appraisal of the comprehensive review, future research directions on occupational injury research are delineated. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
The complexity of failure: Implications of complexity theory for safety investigationsSidney Dekker | Paul Cilliers | Jan Hendrik Hofmeyr
Volume 49, Issue 6, July 2011, Pages 939-945
Complexity theory suggests that we see performance as an emergent property, the result of complex interactions and relationships. This can clash, however, with what stakeholders see as legitimate and normal in accident investigations. When systems fail, it is still common to blame components (e.g. human errors) and when they succeed spectacularly, to think in terms of individual heroism (e.g. the A320 Hudson River landing). In this paper, we lay out the contrast between a Newtonian analysis of failure that can be recognized in many efforts at safety analysis and improvement. It makes particular assumptions about the relationship between cause and effect, foreseeability of harm, time-reversibility and the ability to produce the "true story" of an accident. With inspiration from complexity theory, failures are seen as an emergent property of complexity. We explore what that means for safety science and work towards a post-Newtonian analysis of failure in complex systems. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Occupational risk assessment in construction industry - Overview and reflectionAbel Pinto | Isabel L. Nunes | Rita A. Ribeiro
Volume 49, Issue 5, June 2011, Pages 616-624
The construction industry is plagued by occupational risky situations and poor working conditions. Occupational risk assessment (ORA) on workplace sites is the first and key step to achieve adequate safety levels, particularly to support decision-making in safety programs. Most construction safety efforts are applied informally under the premise that simply allocating more resources to safety management will improve safety on site. Moreover, there are many traditional methods to address ORA, but few have been adapted and validated for use in the construction industry, particularly in the design stage, for which traditional approaches do not give adequate answers. This paper presents a state-of-the-art on ORA traditional methods, for the construction industry, discussing their limitations and pointing advantages of using fuzzy sets approaches to deal with ill-defined situations. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Safety management in different high-risk domains - All the same?Gudela Grote
Volume 50, Issue 10, December 2012, Pages 1983-1992
In view of safety management being introduced in more and more industries, the aim of this paper is to discuss what different high-risk industries can learn from each other and what limits for generalizing safety management methods within and across industries exist. After presenting core components of safety management, three attributes crucial to any organization's functioning are described, which also affect the way safety management systems should be designed, run, and assessed. These attributes are (1) the kinds of safety to be managed, (2) the general approach to managing uncertainty as a hallmark of organizations that manage safety, and (3) the regulatory regime within which safety is managed. By discussing safety management in the context of these three attributes, contingencies are outlined that can help decision-makers in companies to tailor safety management to their own situation and support regulators in drawing up and evaluating safety management requirements for different industries while also promoting learning between different high-risk domains. Standards and procedures, safety training, incident reporting and investigation, and safety culture are taken as examples to illustrate why and how different aspects of organizational functioning should be taken into account when designing and evaluating safety management systems or elements thereof. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Quantitative risk analysis of offshore drilling operations: A Bayesian approachNima Khakzad | Faisal Khan | Paul Amyotte
Volume 57, Issue , August 2013, Pages 108-117
Blowouts are among the most undesired and feared accidents during drilling operations. The dynamic nature of blowout accidents, resulting from both rapidly changing physical parameters and time-dependent failure of barriers, necessitates techniques capable of considering time dependencies and changes during the lifetime of a well. The present work is aimed at demonstrating the application of bow-tie and Bayesian network methods in conducting quantitative risk analysis of drilling operations. Considering the former method, fault trees and an event tree are developed for potential accident scenarios, and then combined to build a bow-tie model. In the latter method, first, individual Bayesian networks are developed for the accident scenarios and finally, an object-oriented Bayesian network is constructed by connecting these individual networks. The Bayesian network method provides greater value than the bow-tie model since it can consider common cause failures and conditional dependencies along with performing probability updating and sequential learning using accident precursors. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
Development of a fuzzy model to predict flyrock in surface miningM. Rezaei | M. Monjezi | A. Yazdian Varjani
Volume 49, Issue 2, February 2011, Pages 298-305
Flyrock is one of the most hazardous side effects of blasting operation in surface mining. This phenomenon can be considered as the main cause of casualties and damages. Inaccuracy of the available flyrock prediction empirical methods has caused utilizing of new methods such as fuzzy systems. In this paper a Mamdani fuzzy model was developed to predict flyrock in the Gol-E-Gohar iron mine of Iran. In this regard, a database including 490 datasets of the mine blasting operation was prepared from which about 20% was kept for testing the models. Performance of the fuzzy model was compared with that of the conventional statistical method. It was observed that efficiency of the developed fuzzy model is much better than the statistical model. Also, sensitivity analysis showed that powder factor and rock density are the most and least effective parameters on the flyrock, respectively. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
Reliability analysis of pedestrian safety crossing in urban traffic environmentHongwei Guo | Wuhong Wang | Weiwei Guo | Xiaobei Jiang | Heiner Bubb
Volume 50, Issue 4, April 2012, Pages 968-973
This paper describes the pedestrian safety crossing behaviour at signalized crosswalks in an urban traffic environment based on human reliability analysis. In our research, pedestrians' waiting durations are modelled by a non-parametric and two parametric reliability models that recognize the effects of covariates. The covariates include pedestrian personal characteristics and urban traffic conditions in order to reflect the effects of human factors and internal environment comprehensively. The results indicate that most pedestrians show distinct time-dependent reliability but a few pedestrians are too impatient to wait for the lights changes. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Risk-management and rule-compliance: Decision-making in hazardous industriesAndrew Hopkins
Volume 49, Issue 2, February 2011, Pages 110-120
Risk-management and rule-compliance are inter-related strategies for promoting safety in hazardous industries. They are co-existing and complementary, not contradictory. However risk-management offers very little guidance to end point decision-makers; they need rules to guide their decisions. Accordingly, it is important, even within a risk-management framework that risk-management be translated into rule-compliance for end point decision-makers, where possible. The paper demonstrates that this is what in fact happens for a wide range of operational decision-making.For non-operational decisions, such as investment and design decisions, the need to convert risk-management into rule-compliance is equally important, although more controversial. Nevertheless the authorities have shown that they are willing to impose prescriptive technical rules on duty holders in relation to non-operational decisions, in the interests of safety.These points are illustrated using a variety of empirical examples and materials, most particularly, the BP Texas City accident, the Buncefield accident, and the Australian pipeline standard. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
Modeling and safety strategy of passenger evacuation in a metro station in ChinaCongling Shi | Maohua Zhong | Xingzhong Nong | Li He | Jiehong Shi | Guoguan Feng
Volume 50, Issue 5, June 2012, Pages 1319-1332
The construction of metro in China is in a period of an unprecedented development in recent years, and the passengers are in high density within the metro during the operation time, the problem of occupant safety in emergencies has attracted more and more attentions. During the design and operation stages, modeling of the metro station evacuation capacity by using the computational models is an effective measure for guaranteeing the metro evacuation safety in the future. In this article, the safety strategy of evacuation in metro stations is first investigated and established, which involves the occupants needed to be evacuated, the evacuation route, and the safety zone. Then, an engineering calculation method for the metro station evacuation time is proposed. Based on the experimental data, simulation of evacuation process in different fire cases is conducted by using an agent-based model, so as to study the features of occupant evacuation behavior, the evacuation time, the passage flow rate, and the strategy of using the escalator as evacuation passage. These conclusions will be helpful for guiding the safe evacuation design of metros in China. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
Systems-based accident analysis methods: A comparison of Accimap, HFACS, and STAMPPaul M. Salmon | Miranda Cornelissen | Margaret J. Trotter
Volume 50, Issue 4, April 2012, Pages 1158-1170
Three accident causation models, each with their own associated approach to accident analysis, currently dominate the human factors literature. Although the models are in general agreement that accidents represent a complex, systems phenomenon, the subsequent analysis methods prescribed are very different. This paper presents a case study-based comparison of the three methods: Accimap, HFACS and STAMP. Each was used independently by separate analysts to analyse the recent Mangatepopo gorge tragedy in which six students and their teacher drowned while participating in a led gorge walking activity. The outputs were then compared and contrasted, revealing significant differences across the three methods. These differences are discussed in detail, and the implications for accident analysis are articulated. In conclusion, a modified version of the Accimap method, incorporating domain specific taxonomies of failure modes, is recommended for future accident analysis efforts. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Leading indicators of construction safety performanceJimmie Hinze | Samuel Thurman | Andrew Wehle
Volume 51, Issue 1, January 2013, Pages 23-28
The concept of using leading indicators of safety performance is introduced with a clear contrast given with lagging indicators. Leading indicators of safety performance are measures of the safety process as it applies to construction work, while lagging indicators pertain to the safety results, namely the extent of the occurrence of worker injuries. Leading indicators consist of both passive as well as active measures. Passive measures are those which can be predictive over an extended period of time while active measures are those which can initiate corrective steps in a short period of time. Suggestions are offered on the selection and use of effective leading indicators. The results of a simple research study demonstrate the extent to which leading indicators can be utilized to distinguish the differences in project safety performances. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
A risk perspective suitable for resilience engineeringRiana Steen | Terje Aven
Volume 49, Issue 2, February 2011, Pages 292-297
In recent years, resilience engineering has been given considerable attention among safety researchers and analysts. The area represents a new way of thinking about safety. Whereas conventional risk management approaches are based on hindsight knowledge, failure reporting and risk assessments calculating historical data-based probabilities, resilience engineering looks for ways to enhance the ability of organisations to be resilient in the sense that they recognise, adapt to and absorb variations, changes, disturbances, disruptions and surprises. The implications of this shift in thinking are many. We focus in this paper on the understanding of the risk concept and how risk can be assessed and treated. The traditional ways of looking at risk are not suitable for use in resilience engineering, but other risk perspectives exist. A main purpose of this paper is to draw attention to such perspectives, in particular one category of perspectives where probability is replaced by uncertainty in the definition of risk. We argue that the basic ideas of resilience engineering can be supported by such risk perspectives. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
A fuzzy risk assessment approach for occupational hazards in the construction industryHao Tien Liu | Yieh lin Tsai
Volume 50, Issue 4, April 2012, Pages 1067-1078
The techniques in the construction industry have been improved due to the rapid development of science and technology. However, the constructional hazards are not decreased as expected. To reduce or prevent occupational hazards in the construction industry, a fuzzy risk assessment method was proposed to provide a prevention and improvement technique against occupational hazards. This method used two-stage quality function deployment (QFD) tables to represent the relationships among construction items, hazard types and hazard causes. A fuzzy analytic network process (ANP) method was developed to identify important hazard types and hazard causes. Failure modes and effect analysis (FMEA) was performed to assess the risk value of hazard causes based on the fuzzy inference approach. The proposed method was applied to a telecom engineering company in southern Taiwan. The performance evaluation result indicated that this method can provide satisfactory risk assessment values of hazard causes and relevant improvement strategies. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Building Safety indicators: Part 2 - Application, practices and resultsK. Øien | I. B. Utne | R. K. Tinmannsvik | S. Massaiu
Volume 49, Issue 2, February 2011, Pages 162-171
Petroleum exploration and production in the Barents Sea is a controversial topic. The Goliat field outside the northern coast of Norway will be the first offshore oil development in this region, with planned production start in 2013-2014. Avoiding major accidents at Goliat is critical; not only to reduce the risks to human lives and the environment, but also to gain political acceptance. Providing early warnings of major accidents for Goliat is one of the main objectives of the research project 'Building Safety'. The objective of this paper is to describe the development of early warnings in the form of indicators. In addition, the paper includes an overview of current status of early warnings of accidents in other major hazard industries; the nuclear power industry, the chemical process industry, and aviation. Experiences from these industries, including lessons learned from recent major accidents, have been used as important input to the development of early warning indicators. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
Tower crane safety in the construction industry: A Hong Kong studyVivian W Y Tam | Ivan W H Fung
Volume 49, Issue 2, February 2011, Pages 208-215
Tower cranes are extensively used for lifting materials in construction sites. Most construction sites are very confined and close to public. Tower crane accidents not only hazard workers in construction sites, but also pedestrians. This paper investigates tower crane safety in related to the understanding and degree of executing statutory requirements and non-statutory guidelines for the use of tower cranes in the Hong Kong construction industry. A questionnaire survey and structured interviews are conducted. It is found that human factors are attributed to tower crane safety. Indolent performance of requirements or responsibilities of practitioners in tower crane operations is found. Inadequate training and fatigue of practitioners are one of the main reasons causing unsafe practices of tower crane operations. Recommendations for improving safety performance in tower crane operations are also discussed. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

Renata Tebaldi was one of the dominant lyrico-spinto sopranos of the 1950s and 1960s, with a large, powerful voice that, despite a severely flawed top, was described by many of her admirers as one of the most beautiful of the 20th century. In many ways she and Maria Callas were defined by one another, although often far too simplistically, assuming that what one had, the other did not.

They are a rare breed, these artists in the guise of batsmen.
They bat with the nonchalance of a government official. They make run scoring seem like the easiest thing on earth.
They make fast bowlers' deliveries arrive at them at super slowo-mo when the less gifted at the other end are hopping about trying to save their wicket (and life!).
Words like "brilliant", "exquisite" and "sublime" seem to have been invented to describe their batting.
In an era of super-fit, hard-hitting run machines that pass for batsmen, these men make batting look like a work of art in progress. In another time, they might well have been composing music and making the Mozarts and the Beethovens nervous.
They focus on the "means" as much as the "end". They believe in entertaining themselves as much as the spectators. To them, batting is ther destiny they were born to excel in. Runs, averages and records were just unavoidable by-products of their life's purpose.
Watching them play can make spectators gasp in amazement. When they fail, you feel indignant that they have done great injustice to their abundant gifts.
They are thus the most "difficult" batsmen to follow as they can be frustrating, as much as they are exhilarating, to watch.
Here's my list of the top five "artists" in Test cricket in the last 15 years. I have deliberately avoided left-handers as I don't like to compare their artistic talent with their right-handed counterparts.
Would love to hear your comments and inputs.
Dedicated to all the cricket connoisseurs in b/r. Enjoy the show!

For me, a lot of it has to with information and control. The need for control triggers the need for information.
When my husband is dating, seeking out a new partner, we talk about this a LOT. Whenever he comes home from a date, we talk, he shares all his feelings, and unless he becomes wrapped in NRE and forgets about me for a bit, I am in the center of his attention and he reassures me and because he comes home after every date, we can check in, we can reconnect, and I don't feel threatened.
My lover MrBrown has 2 other partners, and he dates every now and then, and has occasional hook ups that I know nothing about. Because I know almost nothing about his daily life, and because we don't communicate much in between dates, I have no information and I don't feel the need to control and I am not threatened. Sometimes he will tell me about his other relationships or dates when we see each other, but I'm sure there's lots he doesn't tell me. I'm perfectly fine with that.
My lover C is dating and looking for another relationship. We are in a very vague and undefined place when it comes to how much we share and how much we tell each other. Sometimes we communicate daily about everything. I feel i want to share, and know what he's doing, who he meets, how his love life is developing. He wants to share, but he also wants to be free. He doesn't want to tell me everything. And that is where my fear kicks in, and there's this gap between the control I want to have and the control i can have, and I'm getting mixed messages.
I'm working towards becoming less controlling... and being able to enjoy the amount of sharing we do, without it meaning that we have to share everything. But yeah, with him? I'm one of those established poly people with 3 partners who occasionally has an anxiety attack when one of those partners is developing another relationship.

NFL Games
Pittsburgh Steelers at Tennessee Titans
Past Events
Pittsburgh Steelers at Tennessee Titans
Nov 17, 2014TV Network - ESPN
Tennessee has had a tough season, and have only managed to win two games so far, so you would think that Pittsburgh shouldn't have much trouble in this one. Then again, they shouldn't have had any trouble with the Jets last weekend either, but we all know how that turned out. Basically if the Steeler team that had 12 passing touchdowns in two games shows up, the Titans are toast, but if the team that couldn't beat the Jets or the Bucs takes the field, Tennessee has a fighting chance. ESPN has coverage beginning at 8:30pm Eastern.
