Britain's Home Care Scandal-Panorama
I have personally experienced home care provided by one of the companies Panorama investigates. I've not seen the show in advance but the reports so far fit with my experiences of home care. I was initially granted home care to help with basic housework, laundry and some personal care. I was never able to receive personal care from this company as the social worker forgot to write down on the referral that it was also for personal care and so the company would not insure the carer to provide personal care. The company did provide one regular carer which I later found to be quite unusual. The carer like so many are was lovely. She would have been happy to provide personal care even without the insurance. Lovely though she was, she was also utterly burned out as she was the sole carer for her elderly parents in addition to working full time for minimum wage.
Personal care typically means assistance with personal hygiene needs. In my case I needed someone to be around to make sure I got in and out of the bath safely, to check the temperature of the bath water (I can't feel heat properly!) and to wash my hair. These are fairly typical personal care needs for an elderly person starting to become a little frail but can cover those people who need assistance with a hoist, or who are unable to wash themselves at all. Between myself and the carer we agreed that it was acceptable for her to wash my hair without insurance but not for her to even be in my home when I needed to get in and out of the bath as if I fell she would be liable regardless of whether she was assisting me.
My care needs increased at that time, and a care package which had always been insufficient became unworkable. By that point I was frightened of the social workers who'd consistently failed to do any of the things they'd promised to do and I only managed to set up a review after threatening to sue the local authority for negligence. I'd dropped some cooking oil on the kitchen floor and as carer's are carers not cleaners it had turned the kitchen into a skid pan which the social worker felt could be left in that situation until whenever they could arrange a review. I felt that I didn't need a broken hip, and nor should the NHS have to fund the consequences of such injuries.
I was assigned a different social worker who set up a care package split between using Direct Payments to fund someone to do proper cleaning work and for a care company to provide personal care, cleaning such as washing up and ironing, help with food preparation and help with medication as well as any shopping I might need. For that amount of assistance an hour a day was considered sufficient by social services but only on weekdays. I could have opted to have all the hours on direct payments but as an employer it is very difficult to find anyone who can work legally for less than 16 hours a week, let alone someone you'd be comfortable helping you when you're naked and vulnerable. It was only possible for me to arrange a care package quickly because I'd phoned around all the local care companies to see which had the availability to provide that type of package at the correct times of day. The care company then only required a fax from social services to confirm which could be done by the duty social worker. Despite all that social services had to be threatened with legal action to make them act within an acceptable time frame.
The company I'd found to provide my personal care had promised they would provide continuity of care with a maximum of two different carers. It was immediately obvious that was never going to be the case and throughout the entire time the company provided me with carers I had an ongoing battle with them about how many different carers it was acceptable to send out. The care companies claim it is incredibly difficult to arrange regular carers as they have to organise the rotas in advance and in the morning everyone wants care around the same time. It made less sense to me then that it does now, but I was vulnerable and quickly realised it didn't really matter what I said I would be given what I was given.
The carer's varied from those who deserve every award going through to those who, putting it charitably should be undergoing criminal investigations for their 'caring' behaviour. Very little gets said about good carer, but when it works best it is because a relationship builds up between carer and care recipient. The care companies particularly dislike those relationships though, as inevitably it leads to give and take between carer and client, and good carers often provide additional care in their own time which is forbidden regardless of financial recompense. That is one reason the companies dislike providing regular carers. I'm still very close to one of the carers I met during that time. She was my most regular carer and were she in charge of care provision and standards the whole industry would be turned around! Although I no longer receive any kind of care package from social services I still see this particular carer, who would also happily provide care to me if I asked. I couldn't say enough wonderful things about the carers who are like this particular lady, so I'll simply say that paying people like her minimum wage is disgraceful.
Care companies tend to have a very high staff turnover, partly because the pay is so poor, partly because the conditions are so poor, but mainly because most of the people entering the care industry are so poorly suited to it. They soon discover that it's easier to earn the same money elsewhere for far less hassle and so they leave. I was told by several carers that the care company was charging the carer's to do their required NVQ training and deducting the money from their wage packets. They reported sums up to £50-60 being removed from their monthly wages for these required courses. The care companies are supposed to fund the cost but many deduct it from wages to stop people leaving halfway through the course. Should the course be completed the carer will have the money returned to them, but many had a battle to get the money back. Many of the training courses are of low quality and poorly delivered so people on minimum wage can be understandably reluctant to have to pay for such training.
One of the issues mentioned in tonight's programme is medication. I don't need any assistance to take my medication (although strictly speaking someone should be there to prevent my more extreme choking bouts) but I did and still do require assistance to put the medication into a weekly pill box. This was a task which the social worker had specified I be given assistance for and which went well until the care company sent a supervisor out who insisted they did not dispense medication and stopped the carer's assisting me taking the tablets from their bottles or blister packs so that I could put them into the weekly pill box. That same supervisor later insisted on several occasions that the carer's were not to assist me in and out of the bath and that if I should fall they were to cover me up with a towel and wait for the paramedics. Most of the carer's did insist that was rubbish and of course they would help, but the predictable consequence of all this was that I ended up reluctant to let any carer in the bathroom whilst I was bathing.
I was incredibly isolated at the time I was receiving care, so much so that there were times it would be 3 weeks or more between the times I'd see anyone who wasn't a carer and on many days the carer would be the only person I'd see or speak to. During weeks that the care company were sending multiple different carers to me, often carers I wouldn't have previously met I found myself becoming quite confused and disorientated. There is something particularly unpleasant about having to open your door to a new stranger every day, a stranger who is there to help with the most personal of issues. I still cannot bear to imagine how terrible that must be for elderly people who are already confused.
Sending new carers all the time is not just a problem for the client, it also makes life difficult for the carers who are rarely given enough information about their clients. On one memorable occasion I opened my door to a 'carer' who shoved me aside as she marched past me demanding to know where 'she' was. The woman was expecting an elderly person and was half way up my stairs before I managed to get her to listen to me enough to understand she was there to provide care for me, not the grandmother she'd gone searching for.
I could tell you about the pregnant carer who didn't do any work because she was pregnant and said she couldn't. But she could manage to smoke all my cigarettes every day. Or I could tell you about the day I realised one carer had been changing my sheets every week without mentioning the fact that my cat had urinated on my bed. What would have been a relatively simple issue to deal with by cleaning the mattress (and not a job I would ever expect any of the carers to do) ended up with my having to replace the mattress as it was about six months before I discovered the problem despite repeatedly asking the carer in question if she could smell cat urine in the bedroom.
Then there was the time I ended up on the bathroom floor after being sick. Into the toilet, there was no vomit for a carer to have to clean up. I was on the floor for about 20 minutes before the carer got off the phone to her daughter. There was the carer who delighted in pushing really hard on my neck and spine while she was washing my hair and every time laughed about getting soap in my eyes or banging my head against the taps.
As I only received 'care' during the week eventually social services, very grudgingly agreed to fund weekend care. The new care company were due to start the next Saturday but by the Friday afternoon had not been in touch to assess me. The social worker sent a fax cancelling the call (which I did see evidence of) but the care company claimed not to receive it and so sent a carer anyway. The carer arrived after midday although they'd been arranged for something like 9am. I wasn't there as I wasn't expecting them and had taken the cat to the vet. The first I knew of it was when I received a phone call on my mobile mid appointment to find a very angry duty social worker wanting to know where I was. The care company had been on to social services as they could not gain entry to my home and the social worker wanted them let in. I informed both the social worker and the care company that if they made any further attempts to gain access to my home I would be calling the police to report them for breaking and entering. I later arrived home to find multiple messages on my answering machine from a carer who I hadn't met and who had been cancelled by social services telling me they knew I was in there and to answer the door. There were also messages about wanting the correct key code, all in a tone that suggested I was a wayward child playing games with them. The only person who found it funny was the vet!
I was so furious I complained formally to social services. They spent several months investigating the matter then partially upheld the complaint. They claimed the care company were at fault for not cancelling the call and for their attitude, but that social services had done nothing wrong because they had sent the fax. The duty social worker had also apparently done nothing wrong by telling me to let the care company in.
When I eventually lost my whole care package despite the panic I felt at not having any assistance I was so terrified of social services and care companies that I made the decision not to appeal. Fully understanding what the consequences could be for myself I was very clear that I felt safer taking my chances of ending up dead on the floor than I would ever feel dealing with social services.
There are good carers out there and they are unsung, undervalued heroes without whom the country would grind to a halt within 24 hours, but for every good carer there are two bad. If home care workers did not do their jobs (not even including those who care for their loved ones with only the shamefully low carer's allowance to rely on) then almost immediately the NHS would collapse. I suspect it won't be until that happens that we as a society wake up to the value of home care workers and realise the only way to provide decent care is to provide decent funding. Direct Payments, which enable individual's needing assistance to purchase their own care directly are a great improvement, but the entire scheme is horrifyingly under funded and is not suitable for many elderly people. Direct Payments are great for those disabled people who are in a position to manage the demands of employing their own staff, but when you are ill, vulnerable and in need of help the only thing you really care about is having that help provided to you in a respectful and consistent manner.

Oh boys, you said it there. I have help only with housework (privately, as Social Work does not provide that care). I have been very lucky to have had consistently a wonderful girl for the past four years. I am now getting anxious, as the Company stopped all their domestic work. However, my lovely girl has managed to wangle things so that she can stay on. Howeever, I live in fear....

How do you manage now?
I have always been extremely lucky in that if I ever needed any help my parents have always been on hand. And I know they would do more for me if I asked them.
After the hip replacement I moved home and was able to shower alone (provided the door was unlocked so if I fell mum could get into me!) and so on but I know I could not have managed without them.

I haven't seen the programme [nor am I likely to, as I've never seen Panorama out here]
The system is broken and failing [likewise out here]
I have nothing helpful to say but I didn't want to leave without commenting about your vile experiences [and thank you for the positive ones too]

If your unable to employ somebody your self most councils run a service either private or though the council in which they take the task of employing somebody for you, they then pay the person, pay the tax and holidays and all the rest for a charge of course nothings free anymore.
But your right I know lots of people who had twenty four hour care, who have had it reduced to 2 hours because the council cannot afford it, some have had all care removed because the council say a relative lives close by.

When I first had carers sent by social services, they drove me up the wall. Weren't allowed to hoover, prepare a meal, help me out of the bath, make a cup of tea, take me to the dentist etc etc. Eventually I was so annoyed that I said that all I ever heard from them was a long list of what they couldn't do, so would they be good enough to provide me with a list of things they could do? They never came back. And its no use trying to reason with a social worker. Sometimes I wonder what they actually did to qualify, because some of the conversations I had with them were bizarre to say the least.
But I was still very ill and could do hardly anything for myself. At times I was too weak to turn myself over in bed even when the position I was in was hurting a lot. I was the only person in the block of flats during normal working hours. In the days when benefits were paid by order book, I asked a friend to put an advert up in the Post Office that I needed help with housework and would pay cash. I had DLA and I paid more than minimum wage to a student who washed up and made a meal in the evening, and to another woman on Benefits, who did shopping and housework. OK, its the black economy and you aren't supposed to do it, but I needed help, and those women needed money and it solved both problems for a while. With the economy the way it is, there will be more women needing an extra few pounds a week.

After13 visits by social workers and associates and all that goes with it, upon financial assessment I was priced out of market for DP (and felt under assessed)...which I found was like running a business, the shock of all this put me in bed crying for weeks, fortunately I have a hubby ( he was very unwell at time though). We now rely on carers assessment vouchers one and a half hours a week.....ah time to renew, I rang social services and got told off for using them wrongly....they don't clean and iron any more only personal care and cooking. I shook and accused them of negligence so she sharply spoke to manager, ah yes I could have an assessment but it take time cos they were busy? Rang local care agency I use who knew my case and said important I have them. Rang social services up and yes been allocated a social worker who would be out in 2 days! The social worker said she was nt going to upset the apple cart and issued them. My hubby pointed out how could they make 7 meals in one and a half hours. The Carers that come here have mainly been consistent and skilled beyond belief and agency supportive even with my DWP issues. As I degenerate hopefully i I will have a full care package and have a PA who works with care agency, covers all corners then, that works best I believe. I believe social care is underfunded and the best carers burn out, the social workers burn out or go off sick. Week by week it is the carers I see due to isolation and I don t know where I would be without them, the care agency is co operative and family friendly and hold events, activity groups Christmas, Easter etc. I get regular survey to fill in and can request certain carers.
But my goodness this has been hard to achieve even though worked in special needs etc and never underestimate troubles brought with it. Never knew it was so tough.
I must say 3 yrs ago when I rang care agency's up they said no don't do that?
Sometimes I book 3 or 4 hours at a time for lady appointments etc...yes encouraged by my carer.
Think Gov need to talk and listen to the experts in care to eventually get care and funding right.

SESSION TITLE: DVT/PE/Pulmonary Hypertension Posters
SESSION TYPE: Original Investigation Poster
PRESENTED ON: Wednesday, October 30, 2013 at 01:30 PM - 02:30 PM
PURPOSE: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common condition requiring hospital admission with significant associated morbidity and mortality. Trends in PE incidence, mortality, and hospital outcomes have not been fully described at a national level.
METHODS: We queried the Nationwide Inpatient Sample, a weighted survey of hospital admissions prepared by the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. The study is exempt from Institutional Review Board assessment as all data was publically available and de-identified. All authors participated in HCUP training per protocol. PE cases were selected via a query for hospitalization with a 9th revision International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9) principal diagnosis code of 415.19. Number of admissions, median charges, median length-of-stay (LOS), and all-cause mortality rates were determined from 1996 to 2010. Admissions were adjusted annually for US population and reported in cases per 100,000 population. Charges were adjusted annually by the Consumer Price Index for 2010 dollars.
RESULTS: In 1996, 69,266 (25.7/100,000) admissions were for PE, which increased yearly to 171,613 (55.5/ 100,000) in 2010. Given this increase, PE has climbed from the 84th most common reason for admission in 1997 to the 36th most common in 2010. Median hospital LOS, 7 days in 1996, decreased to 5 days by 2010. Paralleling LOS, hospital mortality fell from 7.01% in 1996 to 3.06% in 2010. Despite shorter LOS, median adjusted hospital charges increased from $15,406 in 1996 to $24,325 in 2010, accounting for an estimated $4.17 billion in hospital charges in 2010.
CONCLUSIONS: PE is an increasingly common reason for hospital admission and is associated with significant healthcare costs. Although PE hospitalizations are more frequent, LOS and mortality are steadily falling.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: We hypothesize that more subsegmental PE are being diagnosed with the advent of CT angiography, and that care is transitioned to the outpatient setting more expediently with low-molecular weight heparins.

The controversial Cardiff Blues No8 was dropped by Wales last season for stealing a golf buggy and driving it along the M4.
Powell, who has been looking for a way out of Wales ever since, said today: "After all the talk and speculation about where I will be playing, all I want to do is get my head down and play in the World Cup next year for my country."
Wasps director of rugby Tony Hanks said: "This is a good fit for both Andy and Wasps - we want to give him a platform."

16:55 13th September 2014
A late Julian Speroni penalty save ensured that Palace came out of an entertaining encounter with Burnley with a point after he denied Scott Arfield from the spot with six minutes remaining.
Despite not finding the all-important goal, Palace threatened throughout and went close early on when Scott Dann rattled the crossbar and spurned numerous opportunities during the opening hour, but after that the visitors got a foothold in the game and threatened to steal their first win of the season but found Speroni in inspired form.
Having scored three times against Newcastle United last time out, Palace looked hungry to continue to find the net in the early stages of the game, but it was both of their centre-backs that went closest eight minutes in. Firstly a Jason Puncheon short-corner found Wilfired Zaha in the area and he fed Damien Delaney who saw a goalbound shot deflected over the bar.
Puncheon played the resulting corner into the area and after it was poorly cleared, Fraizer Campbell had the chance to put a second cross into the box which Dann raced onto but saw his header flick the crossbar and bounce clear.
Three minutes later and the Selhurst faithful got their first glimpse of Zaha in full flow. After he was found in space on the left he took on Kieran Trippier and cut inside before firing at Tom Heaton, and after the keeper had parried that away Jason Shackell had to be alert to clear off his own line after the ball ricocheted off him.
After a frantic start the game began began to settle into a more-familiar rhythm but the chances still kept coming for both sides. Scott Arfield smacked a close-range volley well wide into the Holmesdale Road Stand before Puncheon skidded a low effort straight at Heaton.
But midway through the half a glorious chance fell to the feet of Dwight Gayle when James McArthur played a long ball forward and it was poorly headed away by the Burnley defence, but after doing well to take the ball down the red-hot striker fired the ball over the crossbar despite having time to compose himself.
Palace went into the break having enjoyed the majority of the first-half's chances and they continued to fall their way after the restart. Gayle was inches away from turning in Mile Jedinak's knock-down but saw the deflected cross flash wide of the post, and then Delaney rippled the side-netting from another dangerous Puncheon delivery.
Heaton's goal was under constant threat and Puncheon was next to try his luck when he fired wide of the mark from inside the box, and McArthur went close to a debut goal in stunning style with a blast from 25 yards which just drifted.
But with the game still level Burnley were right in it and Speroni was forced into his first save after 63 minutes when Arfield took aim from 25 yards and the Argentinian was forced to push the ball over the bar, and then five minutes later the Scot linked up with Marvin Sordell who laid the ball off to David Jones who should have troubled Speroni more with his 20 yarder.
The tide was beginning to turn and Arfield should have hit the target after Kieran Trippier's free-kick was blocked but the full back neatly played in the Clarets midfielder who blazed over, but substitute Jonny Williams toe-poked another chance wide with 15 minutes remaining to continue to show the Eagles' attacking threat.
But in the 84th minute Sean Dyche's men were handed a golden chance to win the game when Jedinak tussled with Lukas Jutkiewicz in the area at a free-kick and hauled the striker down. After being awarded the penalty, Arfield stepped up but saw a good penalty matched by a brilliant save by Speroni who strongly pushed the ball away one-handed to keep his clean sheet in tact.
Palace: Speroni, Ward, Delaney, Dann, Mariappa, Jedinak (c), McArthur, Puncheon, Zaha (Bolasie 70), Campbell (Doyle 61), Gayle (Williams 73). Subs: Hennessey, Fryers, Kelly, Ledley, Ledley.
Burnley; Heaton, Trippier, Duff Shackell (c), Mee, Arfield, Marney, Jones, Boyd, Jutkiewicz, Ings (Sordell 42). Subs: Gilks, Reid, Ward, Wallace, Long, Barnes.

forward so that my thigh/knee are above
the bolster, and thus not in the way,
or keep my thigh on the bolster, where
I become so uncomfortable in only 5-10
minutes, I must find a new position.
If I straighten my left leg "within"
the seat (to the right of the left
bolster), my feet are in each other's
way and I can't properly/safely operate
the brake and accelerator pedals. BMW,
why did you cram the sport seat into
such a tight cockpit like this?
Best FeaturesEverything else, but this one complaint has really put a damper on my personal experience of this one model/trim BMW.
Worst FeaturesMake the cockpit a bit wider so that a driver of normal height and inseam length (6', 34") can drive a 3 series with a sport package in comfort for more than 10 minutes. I would gladly trade my sports seat for a "standard" seat if BMW would do so for a nominal fee.

Seat belts have long been an important safety device in all cars. Many states require front-seat passengers to wear their seat belts and some will issue tickets to those who don't wear them. Yet there are still many people who don't like to wear their seat belts. According to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), 10,984 people were killed in auto accidents in 2002. Of that total, 10,404 were not wearing seat belts.
Slow speeds
Some people choose not to wear their seat belts when they are traveling close to home. They think that because they are driving at relatively slow speeds they won't need their seat belts. According to the NTSB, 80 percent of all crashes come at speeds less than 40 mph and 75 percent of those are within 25 miles of home.
Some people believe the combination of the lap and shoulder belt is uncomfortable, so they either don't wear it or they put the shoulder belt under their arm. Wearing a shoulder belt under your arm can cause internal injuries.
Many people who don't wear seat belts refuse to do so because they resent being told what to do in their own car. People view their car as their fortress and they want to do what they want in it and not be told by the government what to do. While that argument makes some sense on the surface, it has nothing to do with reality. Traffic laws regarding speed limits and stop signs are also examples of the government telling drivers how to behave.
Thrown from the car
Some people offer the reason that if they are thrown from a car, they are more likely to be saved. According to the Kansas Traffic Safety Resource Office, individuals who get thrown from their cars are more likely to get killed than those wearing seat belts.
Burning or submerged car
Drivers say they would want to increase their chances of surviving a car fire or a submerged car. While unfastening the seat belt would be one more step to take in either of those circumstances, wearing a seat belt may mean the difference between being alert or dazed. Less than 1/2 of 1 percent of all accidents involve submersion or fire.

Raonic and Halep withdraw from Rio tennis over Zika
By Frank Pingue
(Reuters) - Wimbledon finalist Milos Raonic and women's world number five Simona Halep of Romania have pulled out from next month's Rio Olympics due to fears over the Zika virus.
They, along with twice Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka, who is pregnant, will not be making the trip to Rio even though they were included in the final list of participants issued by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) on Friday.
The big-serving Raonic, who lost to Andy Murray in the men's championship match at the All England Club on Sunday, was the first tennis player to pull out of the Aug 5-21 Olympics due to concerns over the mosquito-borne Zika virus.
"It is with a heavy heart that I am announcing my withdrawal from participation in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games," world number seven Raonic, 25, said in a statement issued by Tennis Canada.
"After much deliberation with my family and coaches, I am making this decision for a variety of health concerns including the uncertainty around the Zika virus."
The Zika virus, which the World Health Organization says is spreading rapidly in the Americas, has been linked to severe birth defects in infants born to infected women, and possible neurological problems in adults.
Halep, who last month told Reuters she was "very worried" about the long-term effects of the Zika virus, consulted with many doctors before issuing her decision shortly after Raonic.
"I regret to announce that I have decided I will not compete in the Olympic Games. The reason for my decision is the concern regarding the danger posed by the Zika virus," Halep, a runner-up at the French Open in 2014, said on her Facebook page. Continued...

Austrian Airlines Fleet Growth for the First Time in 7 Years
• The "Blue Danube" takes off to New York tomorrow
• Investment of EUR 50 million, 130 new employees
The new long-haul aircraft operated by Austrian Airlines, a Boeing 777-200ER with the registration OE-LPE, will take off two weeks earlier than planned at 10:45 a.m., departing on its maiden flight from Vienna to John F. Kennedy Airport in New York. The latest addition to the Austrian Airlines fleet entails an investment of about EUR 50 million. More than EUR 20 million was required just to refit the aircraft. On balance, each of the 308 high-tech seats on board costs as much as a medium-sized car. The business class seats can be converted into flat beds, and every seat is equipped with a video-on-demand.
However, Austrian Airlines did not only invest money in the aircraft, but the new addition to the fleet is the basis for creating a total of 130 new jobs, including 20 pilots and 90 flight attendants. The management of Austrian Airlines expects this small-scale expansion to result in increased operating revenue of EUR 80 million and 170,000 new passengers on a yearly basis. Moreover, it also enables a new long-haul route, Newark in New Jersey, to be added to the airline's route network starting on July 2, 2014.
"This is the first time in seven years that Austrian Airlines is expanding its fleet", says CEO Jaan Albrecht. "Accordingly, the aircraft which will be baptized with the name Blue Danube by employees on June 27th will serve as a kind of symbol for a fresh start".
A total of 40,000 man-hours were needed to modify the aircraft and carry out a C check. An additional 17,000 hours were required for preparatory work such as specification and planning. 200 modifications and a completely new aircraft cabin were necessary in order to upgrade the aircraft to meet Austrian Airlines standards. As a consequence, the conversion of the aircraft turned out to be the biggest project carried out by the technical subsidiary Austrian Airlines Technik in the airline's history. The Blue Danube is the fifth Boeing 777 in the Austrian Airlines fleet. The aircraft is the largest twin-engine passenger jet in the world. It is only permitted to weigh 295 tons on takeoff, is 64 meters long and has a wing span of 61 meters. This is almost as much as the width of the playing field at Hanappi Stadium in Vienna.
The aircraft offers room for 312 passengers, namely 264 in the Economy Class and 48 in the Business Class. The fully loaded aircraft happens to be more economical than an automobile. In spite of its engines which are the equivalent of 2 x 52,000 PS, the Boeing 777 only requires 3.4 liters of fuel for every 100 passenger kilometers.
With the addition of the Blue Danube, the fleet of the Austrian Airlines Group has been expanded to eleven wide-bodied aircraft. On balance, Austria's domestic airline operates a total of 75 aircraft offering flight service to 130 destinations. In the year 2013, Austrian Airlines once again posted an operating profit for the first time after six years in the red following a tough restructuring program.
Austrian Airlines
Austrian Airlines is Austria's largest carrier and operates a global route network of round 130 destinations. That route network is particularly dense in Central and Eastern Europe with 41 destinations. Thanks to its favourable geographical location at the heart of Europe, the company's hub at Vienna International Airport is the ideal gateway between East and West. Austrian Airlines is part of the Lufthansa Group, Europe's largest airline group, and a member of the Star Alliance, the first global alliance of international airlines. The flight operations of the Austrian Airlines Group has been bundled at its 100% subsidiary Tyrolean Airways since 1st July, 2012.
Star Alliance
The Star Alliance network was established in 1997 as the first truly global airline alliance to offer worldwide reach, recognition and seamless service to the international traveller. Its acceptance by the market has been recognized by numerous awards, including the Air Transport World Market Leadership Award and Best Airline Alliance by both Business Traveller Magazine and Skytrax. The member airlines are: Adria Airways, Aegean Airlines, Air Canada, Air China, Air New Zealand, ANA, Asiana Airlines, Austrian, Avianca, Brussels Airlines, Copa Airlines, Croatia Airlines, EGYPTAIR, Ethiopian Airlines, EVA Air, LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Scandinavian Airlines, Shenzhen Airlines, Singapore Airlines, South African Airways, SWISS, TAP Portugal, Turkish Airlines, THAI and United. Air India has been announced as a future member airline with Avianca Brazil to join under the existing Avianca membership. Overall, the Star Alliance network offers more than 18,000 daily flights to 1,269 airports in 193 countries.

Condé Nast Traveler's Readers' Choice Awards revealed the top 10 cities in the U.S., ranking Chicago third.
Chicago's stand-out elements, according to readers, included restaurants (90.0), culture/sites (87.3) and shopping (86.3).
The "terrific architecture" and "great ethnic food" help make Chicago a must-see city, landing it a place on our list. The restaurants, skyscrapers, museums, waterfront and more make Chicago a "perfect city for solo, friend, family, or romantic getaways."
The International Terminal at O'Hare will undergo a substantial transformation, adding 15 new dining and retail brands, as well as new passenger amenities.Among other establishments, this will include:
The upgrades will be completed by the fall of 2013.
Chicago's vibrant River North neighborhood will welcome a new hotel next summer. The 16-story, 221-room Godfrey Hotel will open at 127 W. Huron St., showcasing unique cube-inspired architecture.
Amenities: A chef-driven restaurant and lobby bar, a spa, 24-hour fitness center, two floors of parking, free Wi-Fi.
By January, O'Hare will have 29 new body scanners that will replace all 23 of the older scanners that the airport has been using since 2010.
These new scanners will display a generic outline of each passenger rather than specific body images that have created privacy concerns among some passengers. "Automated target recognition" software will then detect possible threats — any unusual object will then be highlighted by an orange square on the screen.
O'Hare's new scanners can screen a person in as fast as 10 seconds, which should also speed up security lines.

I am always interested in what artist duo Shana McCaw and Brent Budsberg create together. They have been incredibly active in Wisconsin this year and most recently showed at the Haggerty Museum of Art.
This gallery night, McCaw and Budsberg are curating a show, working with students at MIAD to create 13 site-specific installations exploring the historic Pritzlaff building, once one of the region's largest hardward stores.
The past lives of the cavernous, old space, filled with giant pillars will be considered in the show. Michael Bouwkamp & Liza Plughoft will create a performance around a small hole linking two floors of the building. Theresa Beth will create a maze-like structure to create an awareness of the space's intricacies. Stephanie Dever is creating a large-scale biomorphic sculpture that will hover and contrast with the architecture.
Some of the other artists include: Jason Belmonti, Julio Cordova, Becky Dimsey, Katie Kreger, Beata Krezalek, Rudy Medina, Siya Motamedi, James Pederson, Stephen Strupp and Amelia Toporsh.

I followed Uguay from the park near the young boy's house out over a main road that led into the heart of Denver. We zipped past cars on the freeway heading to town, laughing at the startles reactions of the drivers when we tapped on their windows. Uguay grinned back at me and landed with awhumpin the back of a Ford truck.
I joined him silently, moving a heavy box out of my way. "Where are we headed?"
"There's a spot in town that I want to show you," he said, combing his hair out of his eyes with his fingers.
"Sounds fun," I smiled at him and pulled my own hair out of my face.
"It is."
Uguay watched the cars zip by, carefully scoping out each passenger. On occasion he'd pick up a stone from the bed of the truck and lob it at a windshield, but other than that out ride was quiet and uneventful.
Before long, Uguay tapped my shoulder, pulling me out of my deep thinking. "This is where we get off."
I flew off again, following my mentor up and over the glittering skyline. We decided to weave between close buildings rather than go over them.
"Why don't we just go over the skyscrapers, Uguay?" I called up to him.
"I don't know the next time I'll get this much freedom," he shouted back.
Silent now other than the sounds of the city, we rose and dove, taking the most elaborate path I'd ever seen to the tallest building in town.
Born and raised in Fitchburg, I naturally had never seen the world from this height.
We alighted upon the peak of a building with an uncanny resemblance to a large cash register. I sat down and let my feet hang off the side, free-swinging over the edge.
Uguay stepped up behind me. "This is the Cash Register Building," he said with much gusto.
"I can see why," I said, laughing.
"From this height, we can see the sunset perfectly," he smiled, sitting down next to me; A little too close for comfort.
I tried to slide over naturally, so he wouldn't notice. As soon as I did, I regretted it. His smile fell a little way, but not completely. He pointed to the west in front of us. "The Rocky Mountains cut off the sunset a little earlier than in other states, but it's beautiful nonetheless."
"Did you grow up in Colorado?" I asked.
"I did. Did you?"
"Oh. No, I'm from Massachusetts," I said, gazing out over the mountains. "Back home the scenery was never this beautiful."
It was true. I'd never seen such majestic mountains. The front peaks were covered in deep green, with patches of red and fiery orange where the leaves were turning. A cool mid-October breeze ruffled my hair. The middle crests were dusted with light snowfall; the back mountains entirely covered from their bases to their peaks in calming white. Rolling, rising hills met town homes at the base of the front mountains, where a lush carpet of reds and yellows and greens covered the flatlands and foothills. The city where we sat was simply a pimple on the broad rainbow that was Colorado.
A little discouraged, Uguay stared off into the distance. The sun was just beginning to touch the tips of the mountains, sending orange and pink streaks out onto the few clouds in the sky.
I slid over to fill the gap I'd created. "It's beautiful."
"It is, isn't it? I used to take the elevator to the highest floor I could get to of this building and watch the sunset from there. When I was in high school. I used to take-"
He cut himself off, dropping his eyes down to his hands, which were neatly folded in his lap.
"Take what?" I prompted him to continue. I'd never really talked to Uguay like this before.
"Not what, who. I used to bring my girlfriend here. We never got to the roof, though. So it wasn't as beautiful. But, it was still the most amazing thing we'd ever seen."
"Oh." I placed my hands in my lap, staring up at the sky. It had since turned golden, the clouds small pink blobs on the canvas of swimming orange. The sun was halfway gone, and a red glow emanated from it and trickled over the mountains to stain the snow bloody.
The wind picked up a bit, tugging on my long blonde hair. I shivered, and tried to cover it up. To no avail.
Taking the opportunity as his own, Uguay put his arm around my shoulders and pulled me into his side. I gave in to his warmth and snuggled up to his warm hold.
Together, master and apprentice, we watched as the sun sank lower and lower in the autumn sky. Overhead the night sky had begun to show, dark blues and purples dotted with the first appearing stars. Over the mountains, the sun was all but gone, leaving behind a dark orange glow that soon too sank into nonexistence. The night was upon us.

Kohima, Aug 23 (UNI) A part of National Highway 39 between Zubza and Kohima remained submerged for the seventeenth day today and over 140 goods-laden trucks are stranded at the Zubza side, awaiting their turn to move forward to various places of Nagaland and Manipur.
The NH 39, the lifeline of Nagaland and Manipur, remained inundated since August 7 following heavy rainfall and a huge chunk of the road has been sinking continuously.
Meanwhile, Border Road Task Force (BRTF) personnel, appointed to look after the maintenance of the highway, have so far been unable to repair the road and were only dumping boulders and earth on the sinking portion to enable movement of traffic.
The Kohima police, maintaining the traffic on that stretch of the road, has been allowing only small vehicles and some small trucks with essential commodities and perishable items and bulldozers are helping them cross the area.
Police said that some of the trucks were carrying goods beyond their capacity, but due to want of the Weigh Bridge, they were compelled to allow the vehicles through the sinking area.
Meanwhile, there is no shortage of any essential commodities in the capital town so far with only a rise in prices of the commodities, but there was there is shortage of LPG cylinders, which some of the hoarders are selling at Rs 700 per cylinder.
Nagaland has been experiencing very heavy rainfall this year following which landslides were reported from almost every district of the state, while the Kiphire district remained cut off for about a month due to landslides on the main linking roads and was facing shortage of essential commodities.

Hiking in the Berserk Lava field
Join a guided hike through some of the most fascinating landscapes on Iceland. We visit an enormous lava field, created by an ancient lava flow about three or four thousands years ago.Last edited
- Walk through a lava field
- Hear more about the history and geology
- Fascinating landscape
Iceland is a geological feast for the eyes. Over the last 20 million years, volcanic eruptions in Iceland have created a rugged landscape with diverse volcanic features. Moss-covered lava fields, enormous explosion craters, bizarre geological formations, ice caves and lava tubes are all monuments to the island's unique location along the mid-Atlantic ridge at the merger of the North American and European tectonic plates
Hike in place ripe with saga history, lava and bizarre landscape
Halfway between Grundarfjörður and Stykkishólmur lies an enormous lava field created by an ancient lava flow from 3,000-4,000 years ago. Seemingly frozen in time, the elaborate shapes are blanketed in soft green moss, with vibrant hues of red and orange.
According to the Eyrbyggja Saga, this particular lava field is named after two "berserks" (Old Norse Mercenaries) from Norway. One of them fell in love with the chieftain's daughter and was promised to marry her if he managed to make a path in the lava field. The two berserks did, but the chieftain didn't keep his promise and killed them instead, burying them in the lava field. The story might actually be true; a path through the lava field can still be found, and in a late 19th century excavation alongside it, researchers uncovered the skeletons of two men, both of average height but powerfully built. We promise you a hike through some of the most fascinating of landscapes, where you also will hear more about the history and geology of this place.
- Duration: Approx. 2 – 2.5 hours
- Level: 3
- Language: English
- Remark: Not suitable for wheelchair users.
- Walking information: Walking on uneven dirt/gravel path through the lava field

BeschreibungWe can't escape the effects of the forces we set in motion.In her last year at the university in Kiev and shortly before she is to take her final examinations, the narrator of this novel is persuaded by her roommate to go for a cruise on a large lake north of the city. While her friends dance in the ballroom below ship, the young woman stands on deck, enjoying the tranquil evening. Sixty miles away a nuclear reactor explodes.Who is going to defend himself against something that approaches invisibly? Soundlessly? That can neither be smelled nor felt?In the days that follow, the official version of events minimizes the risks. Conflicting instructions are issued; people are warned to stay indoors, yet reassured that there is no danger. Reports of the death toll are revised from two thousand to a mere twenty, then back again. Rumors proliferate; there is panic. Denial and deception characterize the public pronouncements.<P" could have had no inkling of the insurmountable divide that would subsequently rise between the "before" and the "after."

I don't believe SW supports IMAP yet. You have to use POP and SMTP virtual servers on your Exchange box to get the alerts working. I do recall reading that they are working on adding native Exchange support but don't recall reading that about IMAP.
Apr 1, 2008 at 11:50 UTC
I believe that we are adding IMAP support in our next release which is probably a good 6+ weeks out from general availability. When we do a beta of this release, it probably would be useful for us for IMAP users to give it a try. You should see more info about a beta sign up in the next few weeks...

I created a gmail account so I could use the notify part of Spiceworks. I use the outgoing email server of smtp.gmail.com, domain of gmail.com, port 465 and use authentification which includes my username and password, and still am unable to get this to work. Am I suppose to set something up with spiceworks first so this can work?

Make sure you're not blocking the port at your firewall.
(I recall that one person had success leaving the port blank when using gmail. Not sure what that was all about.)
See if either of these two threads helps:

TSA Statement Suggests It Will Use Terrorist Profiling
The Transportation Safety Administration [TSA] has suggested it will begin focusing on individual passenger characteristics – sometimes called terrorism profiling – to increase the effectiveness of its screening in deterring terrorist incidents
"We are working on common sense changes that will strengthen security by looking more at the people who fly, and better identify and focus on the highest risk threat," the TSA said in an email to Tom Costello of NBC TV Evening News. Costello was impressed, concluding: "Things may soon change." http://www.msnbc.msn.com/
The TSA's statement came after the former security director of Israel's Ben Gurion airport, Rafi Ron, said that the TSA must "shift focus to dangerous people from dangerous weapons," and "stop treating babies and the elderly as extreme security threats." He counseled that "first you have to identify the level of risk; then you can adjust the level of search."
Identifying the level of potential risk each individual passengers presents, rather than treating everyone equally so that toddlers and elderly Asian women receive the same scrutiny as young Arab males, has been called terrorist profiling. It has been a controversial and hot button issue because it is frequently confused with racial profiling, and because people have been told that it is both ineffective and unconstitutional.
But public interest law professor John Banzhaf claims that terrorist profiling is much more effective than the current system, and he has an elaborate published mathematical study to back him up. He also says that it's not unconstitutional, and he seems to have the U.S. Supreme Court and the Justice Department on his side.
"Racial profiling," he says, involves selecting individuals for searches – usually in the context of preventing ordinary crime – solely on the basis of one characteristic such as race or ethnicity. This is unconstitutional, and probably not very effective, says the Justice Department.
"Terrorist profiling," on the other hand, involves assessing the terrorism risk posed by each individual by using a variety of characteristics which can include ethnicity, age, and gender, among others. Provided it is used to stop terrorists, and no single factor is the sole criteria, it is constitutional, Prof. Banzhaf says.
A detailed mathematical study says that the current TSA screening policy of treating everyone the same – providing the same screening for young Arabic or Muslim males as for toddlers and elderly Asian women – is not an efficient way of stopping potential terrorists, and that the effectiveness of the procedure could be improved substantially by giving added scrutiny to passengers based upon factors like age, gender, and ethnicity. http://www.pnas.org/
Under such a system, TSA screeners would use ethnicity, age, and sex as factors in deciding whom to select for enhanced screening, especially of the kind which might detect implanted bombs.
These would be used in combination with other factors, and would only increase the chances of an additional search, not mandate one in each case where one factor was present. On the other hand, toddlers, elderly women, etc. would be less likely to be selected for enhanced screening, although a few would still be subjected to it at random.
This could substantially reduce the intrusiveness of screening for many passengers, especially those in very low-risk categories like toddlers, older women, pilots and flight attendants, etc., says Banzhaf, whose work in creating the mathematical tool known as the Banzhaf Index has led to many different awards. Intrusive searches of very low-risk passengers, such as toddlers and elderly diaper-wearing women, and groping by TSA inspectors, has aroused great public concern.
Banzhaf, who is a professor of Public Interest Law at George Washington University, notes that the Supreme Court and the Justice Department have both said that it is constitutional for government employees to consider factors like age, gender, religion, or ethnicity, provided that it serves a "compelling state interest" like preventing terrorist bombings, and is considered not is isolation but rather along with other factors (e.g., nervousness, suspicious behavior, etc.).
"Terrorist profiling is not the same as racial profiling. The latter is illegal because it is based upon only one factor, whereas using religion, age, and gender along with other factors in selecting passengers for added security screening is not only constitutional but logical according to a precise mathematical analysis." That's why, for example, colleges can use race as a factor in selecting applicants, provided that it is combined also with other factors.
This mathematical study, explains Banzhaf, has shown that using factors like age, gender, and ethnicity in airport and other screenings to reduce terrorism can substantially increase their effectiveness, but only if the "Goldilocks"
More specifically, "square-root biased sampling" procedures should single out those meeting a terrorist profile for extra scrutiny, but only in proportion to the square root of their propensity to be terrorists.
In any event, it does not appear that the TSA is now openly using any terrorist profiling to provide added scrutiny to those who potentially pose a higher risk on domestic flights, which is where much of the recent controversy over intrusive searches seems to be taking place. This is what may well change, suggests Banzhaf.
Banzhaf argues that terrorist profiling is logical but not stigmatizing. He notes that, if he as a white man were visiting South Africa at a time when a white supremacist group was actively trying to place suicide bombers on airplanes, he would hope that white males like himself would be singled out for enhanced screening, and that blacks would be less likely to be subjected. "I would feel much safer and not stigmatized, and get on my airplane more quickly," he says.
Moreover, since airport screeners would not have to spend as much time screening black passengers – who are extremely unlikely to sacrifice themselves for the cause of white supremacy – the time it would take for him to go through the security checkpoints would also be much smaller, he argues.
Prof. Banzhaf was made a Fellow of the World Technology Network, and was awarded an honorary doctorate by Thomas Jefferson University, for his work combining math and law. His contributions to Game Theory were recognized by Newsweek magazine in "The Games Scholars Play" [9/6/82], in Paulos, A Mathematician Reads the Newspaper (The New York Time Book Review concluded "Mr. Paulos's little essay explaining the Banzhaf Index . . is itself worth the price of the book."), and in many other books, newspaper editorials, and Congressional hearings.

Hot or Not?
Have you taken the finger test to determine whether you are hot or not? It is apparently all the rage in China...and it is pretty simple. Place your index finger on your nose...down to your chin. Do your lips touch your finger? If they touch...you are hot. If your lips do not touch your finger...you are not hot! Yikes! Mary Beth is not taking any chances. Rick is hot...without having to do anything! Cosmetic surgeons do use the 3.1 ratio to create a perfect profile...perfect line for lower facial symmetry and proportions. But this seems a bit much to determine hot or not!

|This is a discussion on Steal blinds from button within the online poker forums, in the Learning Poker section; Hello all,,,i was wondering the best way to steal blinds from button with a bad hand...any posts will be helpfull.Thanks
If you have a good hand, you aren't stealing from the button. You're raising for value. True, the blinds might fold and you pick up the pot uncontested, but if you're called, you usually have a good chance to win post flop in most situations.
You're only truly stealing from the BTN with bad hands by getting your opponent to fold, allowing you to pick up the pot. In this situation, you don't want to get a call or even 3bet as you'll have a bad hand post flop or be forced to fold.
Blinds a stilling is most effective in tournaments (for example, in sit-n-go or in MTT). If blinds are too big, you sometimes aren't able to afford to wait for a premium a hand. Therefore theft of blind represents an excellent opportunity for receipt of additional counters.
However, at the very beginning of the tournaments of this sort when the sizes of blind in comparison with the sizes of stacks are rather small, the stilling becomes less effective. So occurs because the size of blaynd is too small that to fight for them, and opponents more inclined will do calls of your reyz as their size will be small in comparison with the stack size.
Game cache
In a cache games the size of blind is, as a rule, very small in relation to the sizes of stacks of opponents. It means that from the point of view of net earning money, blinds the stiling won't be so profitable. As a rule, you shall try to play with good hands and to dump bad hands.
Nevertheless, the stiling of blind in a cache games shall be based on how easily you can play your opponents on later rounds of trade if they call and invest additional money in sweat. Such draw is promoted by the fact that you will act with the last in each round of trade that gives you much more chances of a victory. But don't abuse a stiling as players on the blinds "will get to the core" of you and will protect more often the blinds
The Stiling of blinds depends on the size of blind in relation to the effective sizes of stacks. It becomes less effective if their size is small in comparison with the sizes of stacks since you risk large sums of money for the sake of the small sizes of blind.
On microlimits it isn't necessary to pay much attention to theft of blinds, everything that it is necessary – to play with good cards and to dump bad
re: Poker & Steal blinds from button
Firstly, if you have HUD, dont forget to check bb and sb cold-call before stealing. Yes, position means a lot, but dont open way too loose in attempting to steal. 20% steal range is fine if you are beginner and you are playing 9-max. If you have some notes about blinds ( for example, they are super-tight) you can open more hands and widen your btn open-raise range to 25% or even to 35%. also, if blinds are small stacks around 10bbs be careful, you often will face with re-raise all-in.
And I cant agree stealing isnt important at micro stakes. The art of stealing is very important thing no matter what stakes you play.
Instead of stealing from the button,you can steal from one seat earlier which is called the hijack seat. The button steal is very obvious and to seasoned players it will look more like what you are attempting to bluff as faceup cards. So expect to be raised by the big blind a lot if they are experienced.
Lot of the problem with poker advice is almost every player today has the basics or they learn them quite fast. So to be profitable you need to take the knowledge and exploit it.
The button steal is like the under the gun limp with Aces. It might work once or twice but sitting more than 30 minutes and you will face hard playback.
So much depends on your overall strategy. If you want to be seen as loose, so you might get callers when you have strong hands, you raise unopened pots from button 90% of the time. If you want to have a tight table image, so you can win with weaker holdings, raise from button 10 to 15% of the time. But always be prepared for playback either way. Like sourtubbie states, too many players have the basic skills and knowledge to understand these strategies, so find what works for you.
re: Poker & Steal blinds from button
Yes I think if you are tight and don't do it all the time you are more likely to get away with it. If you are called you may have to fire again on the flop if a high card appears. At least you have a story that you hit the high card on the flop as you raised pre flop. Also if you have low cards and low cards come out you might actually hit and have the best hand. I'm still working out steals though. I may lose more than I make on them.

Carrie Keagan is currently hosting the third successful year of her daily morning talk show on VH1, "Big Morning Buzz Live with Carrie Keagan," which covers everything from mainstream headlines to under-the-radar discoveries in film, music, fashion, television and the Web, featuring a wide array of celebrity guests, live music performances, expert insiders and tastemakers of the moment. Having made a name for herself with the web series "No Good TV" and appeared on Attack of the Show, The Talk, and Chelsea Lately Keagan has become one of the most sought-after television personalities of her generation.
She's also one of those fabled "cool chicks" that you only think exist in fiction. She's beautiful, funny, well-versed in movies and television, and it was my extreme pleasure to steal her away from her busy schedule to chat a little bit about her morning show, her time spent at the Super Bowl and her preference for New York over L.A.
Oh, she also talks about potentially jello-wrestling with Kelly Ripa, how much she loves Sylvester Stallone and which actresses she thinks are the hottest. Yeah, this is our kind of woman right here.
"Those are the girls I'm attracted to, the ones you want to drink with."
Some congrats are in order before we get started, your show Big Morning Buzz Live was just renewed over at VH1. That's got to be fairly awesome, right?
It's way awesome, and I got my name on the show! It's surreal every time I see the logo.
You started off as an online personality right, and worked your way up?
Yeah, I founded No Good TV, that was my baby, and we got some nice success out of that between the YouTube channel and NGTV.com, we've got over a billion views now. It was super fun and it launched my career. I found out VH1 was doing a morning show and I ran to them and said, Me me me, pick me! And they picked me to do it and it's been two awesome years of shooting in Times Square, doing a live show every day and I couldn't ask for a cooler career and life.
You must spend a lot of time in NY and LA, which do you prefer? Keep in mind I'm a lifelong New Yorker.
I loved living in LA, but now that I live in New York, I couldn't be happier here, and I understand why people are so extreme in their love and hate for both cities, they're both so very different. When I'm here, I don't live the same way I do when I'm in Los Angeles. You're in your car all the time, you're in a building all the time. When I'm in New York, I'm out. I eat way too much, but I walk everywhere and I love taking the subway. Especially when my poster is on the subway!
Do you ever stand next to your poster and wait for people to recognize you?
(Laughs) I have not done that yet, but I did walk by a bus stop with my picture on it, but there was no one around.
One of Morning Buzz's taglines is "the morning show for people who hate morning shows" - can you elaborate?
I don't familiarize at all with the morning shows that are on TV right now. I like them, I watch them, but they're not talking to me, they're talking to my parents. We really wanted to make a show for people our age, for people who would understand what we're saying: we're mega-fans of a lot of TV shows, we're ridiculously into music, and we go to movies as often as we can. And those are all things that our audience is more into, they're not my parents! It's a pop culture show, so whatever is trending right now, that's what we're talking about.
You were at the Super Bowl last week, what were you up to there?
Debauchery! It was in New Orleans, there's nothing you can do but get into trouble.
What kind of trouble did you get into?
Not only did we get the perfect time to go because it was the Super Bowl, but it was also Mardi Gras, so the city was just bumping with drunks and ridiculous, naked people. And of course the best music you could ever hear just a few blocks down from the ridiculousness on Bourbon Street. We ate too much and drank constantly. The city is so rich in history and beauty, I just fell in love with it. I had never been to a Super Bowl before, I watched the entire game, I tried to understand as much as I could, it was fun, I had a blast.
Were you there to interview players or just people on the street?
Just the people. We were outside shooting some stuff for the Buzz right on this balcony, and the people started filtering out from the game and we started screaming down to all the fans. Unfortunately, the people who were coming out of the stadium at that point were 49ers fans, and they were not very happy. So we're yelling off the balcony and being all excited and they're just looking up at us like we're assholes. (Laughs) I had hosted a Super Bowl concert with Michael Strahan, and Train played, and it was funny because I had to find out who was a Ravens fan and who was a 49ers fan, and whenever I mentioned the Ravens, I got booed. It turned out it was because Train is from San Francisco, so everybody there were 49ers fans.
Well, football fans can be intimidating if they're a little buzzed.
Ain't that the truth. And by the way, Michael Strahan is one of the nicest people I've ever met.
I wonder if Kelly Ripa got a little jealous about that.
Oh god, I hope not. I'm not trying to steal her man! Am I going to start getting death threats from Kelly Ripa?
That would be awesome, I'd be proud of that if I were you.
Know what we could do? I'll bring her on the Buzz and we can have a jello-wreslting match.
Now you're talking! Since you also cover a lot of award shows and stuff, are you looking forward to the Oscars? We have a big Oscar pool at the site every year, do you have any Oscar picks you want to share?
Well, I was really surprised when Ben Affleck didn't get nominated, but ARGO has been kicking ass, so I wouldn't be surprised if that wins the Oscar at this point. I think Anne Hathaway will probably win Best Supporting Actress, she's been sweeping the other awards, and Hugh Jackman will win Best Actor. He knows how to work the room, and the Oscars are a little more about the "insiders" - but he's a very talented man, and he just kicked ass in that movie.
You have a lot of big celebrity guests on your show, who is the coolest actor or actress that you've interviewed - flat-out coolest?
Sylvester Stallone! I had him on my show the other day, I absolutely love him, he is the coolest. He's got the best stories, and I've been the biggest fan forever: ROCKY, FIRST BLOOD, OSCAR, I love Stallone, just getting him on my show was the greatest thing ever.
Who is the hottest?
That's a tough one. Malin Akerman, she is the most feminine woman ever, I just love her. Not only is she incredibly hot, she's one of the coolest chicks on the planet. Emma Stone is one of my favorites, she's gorgeous and she's funny and normal; you just want to hang out and have a beer with her. Those are the girls I'm attracted to, the ones you want to drink with. Let's see... Carla Gugino, Jessica Chastain.
Oh, Jessica is literally the nicest person I've ever met.
Right? And she's gorgeous and she's a redhead, who doesn't love a redhead.
So what have you got coming up, who will you be interviewing next?
Oh, let's see. Emmy Rossum is coming up, I love her, she's also hot. Oh! Jai Courtney will be on, from the new DIE HARD movie. I haven't seen that movie yet. Are you a fan of DIE HARD?
Right? For me, they're along the same lines as any of the Rambo movies or any of the Rocky movies; your perfect action movies.
That seems a perfect way to end this interview, because what better way to remind you that Carrie is one of the coolest chicks on the planet? For more on the awesome Carrie Keagan, visit her website CarrieKeagan.com or follow her on Twitter along with 140,000 others @CarrieKeagan.
