Drone-plane safety incidents seen quadrupling in US: FAA

Thursday, August 13, 2015 - 07:18

United Airlines planes are seen on platform at the Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey, July 8, 2015.

[WASHINGTON] Pilot encounters with drones are on pace to at least quadruple to more than 1,000 this year, highlighting a growing threat to US aviation by unmanned aircraft.

There were 650 cases reported to the Federal Aviation Administration through Aug 9 compared with 238 in 2014, the agency reported on Wednesday night. Assuming the reports continue at the current rate, there would be more than four times the safety incidents by the end of this year.

The reports of drones spotted near traditional aircraft come from pilots on private planes and helicopters, as well as crews aboard airliners, according to an FAA release. FAA rules prohibit drones from flying near airports or at altitudes where piloted aircraft operate.

Industry groups estimate that as many as 500,000 drones have been sold in the US, many of which are capable of flying thousands of feet above the ground.

Triumph of the Hedgehogs

What characteristic do neo-conservative Norman Podhoretz, hard left-wing political magazine The Nation, conservative-without-qualifiers The National Review and liberal commentator Eric Alterman all share? Despite their bald divergences in political ideologies and opinions, they are, without exception, hedgehogs, as identified by Isaiah Berlin in his 1953 essay on Tolstoy, “The Hedgehog and the Fox.” Berlin saw in the words of the Greek poet Archilochus—“The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing”—the two essential perspectives from which thinkers interpret the world. Hedgehogs are those that “relate everything to a single central vision,” while foxes are wary of grand truths and embrace a diffusive, pluralistic outlook. To put it another way, Hedgehogs think centripetally around a central organizing principle and foxes centrifugally, recognizing that some values can both be moral and contradict each other.

Of course any abstract dichotomy risks sacrificing accuracy for theoretical neatness. As Robert Benchley remarked, there are two groups of people in the world: those that divide the world into two groups and those who do not. The question then is whether a categorization can reveal aspects of our world that previously were hidden or merely adds an artificial and unnecessary interpretative layer. Spectacles improperly used distort and blur, but when accurately prescribed they bring surroundings into sharper and clearer focus.

It is true, for example, that one can better understand American writers by peering through Philip Rahv’s classification of Palefaces (e.g. Washington Irving, Henry James) or Redskins (e.g. Mark Twain, Walt Whitman), just as one can more readily grasp an artist’s creative personality by knowing Friedrich Schiller’s binary division between the “naïve” and “sentimental” artist. One can even distinguish between the fine shades of idiocy through Vladimir Jabotinsky’s bifurcation of the winter and summer fool: The former is one so bundled up with clothing that only after time does this characteristic become apparent (aka the cable-news pundit), while the latter parades around in beachwear, all too happy to flaunt this quality to any passerby (Paris Hilton comes to mind). Berlin’s formulation also has an elegance and richness that illuminates rather than darkens. Dante, Plato, Hegel, and Nietzsche all bear the monistic outlook of the Hedgehog, while the ambiguity of the Fox is obvious in Goethe, Shakespeare, Balzac and Aristotle.

The Fox/Hedgehog division is especially helpful in framing the current political discourse in the United States, which, despite its heated rhetoric, shows remarkably little biodiversity in Berlin’s terms. Hedgehogs, to mix metaphors, rule the roost. Opinions have narrowed to the point where knowing the stance of a periodical or commentator is to know their conclusion, almost eliminating the bother of reading what once was quaintly referred to as “the argument.” If one is anti-administration and anti-war, or for that matter the opposite, then ipso facto his or her claims, facts, and conclusions flow directly from this starting position. In many ways, the hedgehog’s “organizing principle” now performs a role similar to the “prime mover” in Aristotle’s cosmological argument—every position is causally linked back to this original source. If one supports principle A, then when discussing subject B, inexorably he or she will arrive at conclusion C.

There is no admission of the fox’s view that a principle might not apply in all cases or that values we hold dear can, at times, contradict each other yet still remain equally valid. To use one of Berlin’s examples, liberal democracies subscribe to both equality and freedom. Yet in reality there is a necessary trade-off between the two, with either’s full realization excluding the other. The key point of divergence between the two species is that a fox embraces the world’s wonderful complexity on its own terms and recognizes good ends can conflict with each other. However, the fox is not a relativist—a rough hierarchy of values is obtainable so that a liberal democracy is not simply another political system, but is clearly superior to a totalitarian regime. The former’s ability, imperfect though it may be, to allow its citizen the freedom to choose their own path and route to happiness absolutely trounces the latter’s efforts to dictate the same effect, regardless of any noble or utopian pretensions.

To translate into a contemporary example, if one emphatically criticized the current administration’s handling of the Iraq War, a fox would still acknowledge the prospect that the administration might have acted correctly in handling a different international or domestic issue (even possibly some aspects of the War) without an a priori dismissal. Whether one counters that a situation has not arisen to test this proposition is immaterial; what is important is that such an outcome is at least a conceivable possibility. How many American commentators, periodicals, or newspapers today would subscribe to such an outlook?

The current dominance of hedgehogs, however, is particularly surprising considering that the rise of the Internet, along with the “democratization” of the media that it ushered in, seemingly would have favored the plurality of the fox. Back when the word blog still appeared in quotation marks (i.e. the 1990s), there was a measured optimism that the Internet’s ability to enable individuals to easily access, share, and publish information would reinvigorate civil society. The halcyon days of the Greek forum where all could speak and all could participate had ostensibly returned on a global scale—Agora 2.0 if you will. However, the cracks in this ideal were already apparent well before the tech bubble went belly-up in 2000.

The Internet did level the playing field and introduce more opinions and news sources, itself an impressive accomplishment, but it also allowed us to easily filter those same sources. One can now quite happily subsist on a diet of Power Line, Frontpage Magazine and the Wall Street Journal Online, or, if you prefer, Daily Kos, Salon and The New York Times Online. Both approaches often refer to the same events and discuss the same issues, but each interprets them differently—and the twain shall never meet. The Internet, rather than producing a flowering of civic culture, let a hundred little Pravdas bloom, with each reinforcing its own hedgehog-like view. We have lost the sentiment that archetypical fox George Orwell expressed when he said that some things remain true, even if Lord Halifax and the Daily Telegraph say they are true.

In a recent issue of The New Republic, Jonathan Chait identified a sliver of this phenomenon by recognizing how the ideology of the liberal “Netroots” mirrors that of the conservative movement. He argued that in the Netroots, a “measure of an idea is its rhetorical effectiveness, not its truth.” But this sentiment—the core of the hedgehog’s view—is not confined to these two groups alone. It would be more accurate to see the Internet as reinforcing and aggregating a trend that already infused our entire political discourse and has become increasingly bitter as we approach the fifth anniversary of the American intervention in Iraq.

In time of war, however, this state of affairs is to some degree understandable. Since the stakes cannot be higher, a polarizing, black-and-white attitude is not only predictable, but arguably reasonable. With lives on the line, who wants to hear from foxes who pepper their positions with too many qualifiers, constantly positing “however,” “on the other hand,” or even “while there is some merit in my opponent’s argument.”

But understanding why this occurred leaves unanswered the key question: So what? What if hedgehogs have squeezed out foxes? Before we can attempt a reply, it is important to emphasize that there is seemingly little intrinsic superiority to being either a fox or a hedgehog. They are simply empty frameworks from which to view the world, with the deciding factor being the content that we pour into them (which is why comparing President Bush to Osama Bin Laden, even if both are avowed hedgehogs, is a particularly odious example of intellectual laziness). Therefore, if the hedgehogs currently packing our political discourse are all committed to liberal democratic principles (admittedly a generous assumption), then why shouldn’t foxes go the way of the dodo?

Well for one thing, academic research favors the fox. Philip Tetlock’s Expert Political Judgment, for example, utilizes Berlin’s terms to categorize political pundits and shows that foxes are significantly more accurate in their predictions than hedgehogs. Hedgehogs’ ideological fervor predisposes them towards dramatic “boom or doom” scenarios, which simply materialize much less frequently than the measured, nuanced developments envisioned by foxes. From an empirical standpoint, foxes cleave more closely to, and thus sketch a more truthful picture of, our messy reality.

The Iraq War itself is an excellent case in point of how hedgehog-like our discussions have become and why this clouds our understanding of what is actually happening. The need of many commentators to justify their “organizing principle” of either supporting or opposing the US invasion in 2003 has led to a peculiar, one-eyed approach. One good example would be the contradictory interpretations given to the situation of Iraqi refugees in mid 2006, before it was clear that there was a wholesale exodus from the country. Amir Taheri, arguing for the achievements and accomplishments of the American intervention in the June 2006 issue of Commentary, pointed to a general return of refugees. He noted, “Iraqis, far from fleeing, have been returning home. By the end of 2005, in the most conservative estimate, the number of returnees topped the 1.2 million mark.” However, when we examine a hedgehog from the opposing camp we receive a contrary picture—Tom Hayden on The Nation’s Website in August 2006 points to a large exodus of Iraqis as a sign of the abject failure of American efforts. He states, “At least 4 million Iraqis…have become refugees since 2003, with 3 million sheltered in Syria, 1 million in Jordan and many thousands more living in various places from the United Arab Emirates to Europe.”

While I am suspicious of the figures cited by both (the UNHCR’s April 2007 report stated that 300,000 refugees returned between 2003 and 2005 and that two million have left the country with another two million internally displaced) the issue is more than a vapid “the truth lies somewhere in the middle.” A hedgehog’s need to have the evidence fit their conclusions, rather than the reverse, means they are unable to acknowledge what Max Weber labels the “inconvenient facts.” As a result, a skewed picture is produced from which we are likely to draw even more flawed recommendations. A more nuanced depiction of the seemingly contradictory positions above could have described how immediately following the toppling of Saddam there was a sizable return of Shiites and dissidents, but with the deteriorating security situation there was a larger exodus of mainly Sunnis and members of the middle class. From this basis, we can more accurately frame the consequences of toppling Saddam Hussein’s regime and add content to the sometimes simplistic notions of “success” and “failure.” In other words, foxes are necessary because they offer something more than a thin realism; they embody a willingness to subject all arguments to a vigorous and often ironical skepticism, accepting that it might lead to unexpected—or even unwanted—conclusions.

But stopping at this level of analysis misses a larger point—both foxes and hedgehogs are indispensable. Foxes stress prudence, but left unchecked they risk becoming entangled in a morass of details and qualifiers, unable to see approaching icebergs that will upend the entire system. The hedgehog’s retort to the fox is that of Pindar, “in ways of single-heartedness may I walk through life, not holding up a glory fair-seeming but false.” Or to use 9/11 parlance, a fox can suffer from a “failure of imagination.” Revolutions, innovations, and transformations, while more infrequent, reorder our world. It is the single-minded focus of the hedgehog that recognizes the approach of these discontinuous changes, as well as provides the determination and sustained effort necessary to actualize them. John Stuart Mill, an unmistakable fox, described the power of the one-eyed observer in his essay “Bentham,” a tribute to his hedgehog utilitarian mentor Jeremy Bentham. He noted, “If they saw more, they probably would not see so keenly, nor so eagerly pursue one course of inquiry. Almost all rich veins of original and striking speculation have been opened by systematic half-thinkers.”

Today, however, we find ourselves in the opposite situation. The triumph of the hedgehogs has meant that American political discourse, whatever the partisan stripes, is concerned primarily with ideological purity and vanquishing opponents. Without the fox’s focus on dull reality the risk is more than rushing over looming precipices, but once over the edge continuing to blindly pump our legs, heedless to the fact that we long ago left the ground behind. Yet there is a funny thing about reality; no matter what our beliefs it will eventually make itself heard. Like a dentist’s appointment that is continually pushed off to avoid a filling and ends up requiring a root canal, the longer the wait the more severe and painful the corrective action. For everyone’s well-being, not least of all the hedgehogs, let us hope that the fox shares more in common with the phoenix than the dodo.

Workers Compensation

The Right Business Liability Insurance Could Save You Thousands

Google Plus One LinkedIn Print

Insurance can help or hurt a business, making it critical for an owner to choose the right business liability insurance policy. Business liability insurance is primarily meant to protect an enterprise from third-party claims due to negligence on the part of the company or its employees.

Business Liability

There are different types of insurance that you should consider when choosing the right business liability insurance policy in order to avoid unpleasant surprises. Consider the case of a nightclub that was sued by one of its customers who claimed she fell off the stage.

Aside from claiming for medical expenses from going to chiropractors, the woman also filed claims for "pain and suffering". Investigation showed that she had been going to chiropractors long before the accident.

Nevertheless, when the claim was referred to the nightclub's insurance agency, the agency's lawyer settled the claim for a fraction over the nightclub's deductible. The insurance agency wound up paying almost nothing, and the nightclub's deductible shouldered most of the expense. This illustrates the need for careful scrutiny of a business liability insurance policy in order to determine whether it meets the needs of your business.

5 types of business liability insurance

The US Small Business Administration confirms that there are five basic categories of liability insurance available to protect your business:

General liability insurance

The most common type of business liability insurance covers the public liability of your business. This insures your business against claims from third parties such as customers, visitors, sub-contractors, or the general public. Claims may be made against your sales clerks, drivers, or even your advertisements. A general business liability insurance policy may result in high premiums, so it is important to identify which possible situations you should insure your business against. Failure to include certain areas in order to save on premiums may cost you more in terms of damages and attorney's fees if a claim is filed. In many countries, public liability insurance may be mandatory.

Product liability insurance

This kind of business liability insurance protects you when claims are made due to product deficiencies that may injure customers. It is especially important if you are in the business of manufacturing or distributing products. Your business can purchase more or less of this protective insurance, depending on the type and risk of the products you manufacture or retail.

Professional liability insurance

Also called errors and omissions insurance, professional liability coverage will protect your business against errors, negligence, and malpractice when interacting with customers. Depending on your industry, your state may require your business to carry this type of insurance policy. As an example, doctors must have malpractice insurance in order to practice in most states.

Commercial property insurance

Just like private property insurance, commercial property insurance will protect company property against natural disasters, vandalism, and theft. Protected property may include a company building, electronic equipment, documents, and even lost income from damages. Commercial property insurance will be categorized as an all-risk policy or peril-specific policy; an all-risk insurance policy will provide coverage for a wider range of accidents, while a peril-specific policy will cover only specific losses listed in the insurance rider. An all-risk policy is ideal for a small business, and a peril-specific policy is recommended for businesses with high-risk concerns.

Home business insurance

As an entrepreneur or home-based business owner, it's important to understand that your policy does not cover business losses. In many cases, riders can be added onto homeowners' insurance to protect against business property damage. Nonetheless, many of these policies have limitations. Additional business insurance coverage will need to be purchased to protect against the common risks listed above, like professional and general liability.

The necessity of additional coverage

A number of business liability insurance policies will include employer insurance. This type of policy insures the business from claims made by its employees who are injured in the course of doing their work.

In countries where workers' compensation is not mandatory, companies with employer insurance have been forced to declare bankruptcy due to claims from injured employees. In the United Kingdom, Employer insurance coverage is mandatory, except when the only employee is the owner or if the establishment is a family business.

While business liability insurance may seem like a needless expense to some business owners, it is nonnegotiable. Businesses without the proper insurance coverage will leave themselves vulnerable to thousands of dollars in damages that could force them into debt or bankruptcy.

What are You Willing to Pay More For?

Posted by   + Show Post

I know some of us will pay more for certain things -- perhaps that upgrade to two-day shipping to get an online order faster or going to the salon to get your gray hairs covered instead of using a box from the drugstore.

It is funny how we all have different gauges of what is "worth" more. We have friends that will drive around for 35 minutes to find a parking spot on the street, while others will just pull into a parking garage. Some will hand-wash delicates, while others will just take it to the dry cleaners. Some people spend part of their weekend cleaning the bathroom, while others have a great lady who comes Monday mornings to whip the house into shape. Some love to make their own chocolate chip cookies to bring to the preschool party, while others just spend the money on delicious though store-bought treats.

Why? Why do we justify spending more money on those things? In a totally unscientific poll of friends and fellow mamas, it seems about 95% of those things we feel are okay about spending more on have one main thing in common: they save us time. Whether they are more convenient or save us an extra 53 minutes or just make the day go by a little easier, we are placing an emphasis on our time.

(The covering the grays with a professional versus the box...yeah, that doesn't really save time, but could save from you walking around with purple hair if you don't know what you are doing...)

Think for a second -- what do you pay more for?

Gas. I'm crazy for doing that, I know. My car is very expensive to repair (Audi) so I would rather use what is recommended which is the Premium stuff than have to spend a ton of money down the road for repairs. I would also rather pay for parking even if it's going to cost me $15-20 rather than find a place on the street. I especially do this when I'm in Seattle because I HATE the traffic/rude drivers, and my family's safety is worth the money spent.

Listen to Taylor Swift's New Song from The Hunger Games Soundtrack

Listen to Taylor Swift's New Song from The Hunger Games Soundtrack

Taylor Swift attends the annual Nashville Symphony Ball at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center on December 10, 2011 in Nashville, Tennessee.

Getty Images / Getty Images

"Safe and Sound" is Taylor Swift's contribution to The Hunger Games soundtrack. It's a slow ballad that wouldn't be out of place on an Aimee Mann album, which features encouraging lyrics like, "You'll be alright, no one can hurt you now."

Considering the film itself is centred around an ultraviolent game of child blood sport (aka a world of hurt and not alright-ness), both the song and its title lead us to wonder if Swift or The Civil Wars, her backing band/coattail riders on the track, have actually read The Hunger Games or even got a glimpse at its trailer.

If she thought it was a lighthearted tale about a girl who starves herself so she could go to the prom with her hot neighbor, the results may surprise her.

Default **2002 BMW M5 E39 Expert needed**

My father has a 2002 BMW M5 E39 with about 10k miles on it. It was one of the last of this body style to come off the factory line in beautiful Bavaria. Though ten years old, this car literally looked and drove like it was fresh out of the factory (yet has the engine just barely worn in so that baby just purrrrrred). He's receives countless offers on it all the time from people who see it and can appreciate what it is.

Anyway, this car is located in New Jersey and was effected by the lovely super storm on the East Coast. Luckily their house survived unscathed, with the exception of the garage. Unfortunately though, this beautiful car felt the wrath as she took some water damage. The insurance agency is going to "total" it, but I know he is still interested in getting her fixed.

This is where all of you awesome Calgunners come in. I am looking for the best of the best BMW mechanics, even more specifially one that has a nack for the older body style M5s without the newer M drive or whatever that is. I am looking for an expert who can tear this baby down and fix whatever is needed so this baby can purr once again.

If you know anyone or any shop (doesn't have to be in CA or New Jersey) that can do this type of repairwork please let me know.

Really appreciate it guys.

My heart goes out to all those who lost more than just a car in that incredible storm.

Where in CA are you located, was the car submerged above the window line?

ALL modern cars (especially late model europeans) have extensive electronic 'modules' all over the car, not just the typical DME/ECU.

I have several BMW factory trained friends in northern cal and parts of New Jersey, however my E39 M5 v8 friends are mostly out here in CA.

Perhaps I can help ? Send me a PM

There is a shop here in the San Gabriel Valley that has a reputation among BMW owners for doing excellent work without the absurd dealership prices. PM sent.

The e39 m5 is a fantastic car, but water damage in a fairly complicated car can make it an absolute nightmare. PCM, vanos, and corroded wiring can have your repair bills costing more than the value of the car.

I understand loving the car, take the insurance check and buy another one.

Wow man that is horrible. When I first read you post I thought I read it incorrectly. 10k miles is insanely low!

I used to own a 2005 e46 m3 steel grey metallic fully loaded with competition package and everything. Loved that car. The e39 m5 is what I want to try next.

Best of luck sorting out the car issues.

Hardwood Flooring Installation In Orange County, Ca

Installing Hardwood Flooring In Orange County, Ca

Hardwood Flooring can be a relatively simple home improvement project even for a novice homeowner in Orange County, Ca. Focus on putting tile in your kitchen and bathrooms and replace your carpet with hardwood flooring. Home improvement stores have a wealth of information about how to make this process easy for you to complete.

If your home improvement project involves moving appliances or other furniture in your house, make sure to put something down to protect your floors. Particularly if you have existing hardwood flooring, taking out large items can make a big mess and scratch up your flooring. Taking a few minutes to protect your floors can save you a lot of money in the long run.

Camaro Nascar Pace Car Turns Pink for Charity

Posted by: admin In: Main ()

Chevy Making Strides Against Breast Cancer at NASCAR

DETROIT (2011-09-02) – A yellow flag at two upcoming NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races will generate some green to fight breast cancer.

Chevrolet will make a $200 donation to the American Cancer Society for each caution lap that a specially themed pink Camaro SS pace car [PHOTOS] runs in upcoming NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races at Atlanta Motor Speedway and Richmond International Raceway. The Atlanta race begins 7:30 p.m. Sunday (televised on ESPN). The Richmond race is 7:30 p.m. Sept. 10 (televised on ABC).

Chevrolet’s commitment to battling breast cancer won’t stop on the track. In its centennial year, the brand is partnering with the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer initiative leading up to October, which is national Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Chevy’s Nov. 3 birthday. Other Making Strides Against Breast Cancer events will be announced later.

“For 100 years, Chevy has been helping people along the journey of life in countless ways,” said Alan Batey, Chevrolet vice president, Sales and Service. “But as we all know, sometimes life’s journeys take detours or end too early. Together with our race fans, Chevrolet wants to help the American Cancer Society create a world with less cancer, more birthdays and longer journeys.”

Currently, Chevy driver Jimmie Johnson (No. 48) is tied for the lead in NASCAR Sprint Cup Series points. Johnson is the defending NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion and winner of five consecutive championships.

I had no visibility problems when I sat in it a few days ago, but I didn't drive it. I'm 5'8. I have a non-onstar mirror on my Cobalt coupe and i also see the backseats and headliner in the mirror. Yeah it shows more than it has to, but that's about the standard size for mirrors. I do think the onstar buttons make the mirror big and bulky, and I have accidentally hit the emergency dial button while adjusting the mirror. I'd like to see onstar controls moved to a different place.

Riverview allocates $100 million for lending

Officials say now is the time to stimulate economic growth

Riverview Community Bank announced Friday that it has allocated $100 million for local lending in an effort to make a difference during the persistent economic slump throughout the region.

“We know that small business is 80 percent of all business, the backbone of our communities and collectively the largest employer,” said Ron Wysaske, Riverview president and chief operating officer. “There is a persistent opinion out there that banks aren’t lending. I can’t speak for others, but for Riverview, that simply isn’t true.”

In addition to allocating funds specifically to stimulate economic growth and help small businesses grow. Riverview will work with applicants on custom financing options to meet their business needs.

“We’re here because the communities we serve believe in us. Well, we believe in them too,” said Pat Sheaffer, Riverview chairman and chief executive officer. “There has never been a better time than right now to help stimulate economic growth.”

Riverview recently rolled out a program specifically for high quality mortgages, which has resulted in more than $100 million in new mortgage loans. The program’s success prompted this latest move to continue to expand the growth that Riverview has seen in its commercial lending portfolio.

Riverview Community Bank opened in Camas in 1923 as Clarke County Savings and Loan. There are currently 18 branches including one in Camas and one in Washougal.

ITV eyes up BT Premier League production contract

ITV is looking to bid for the contract to produce BT's Barclays Premier League coverage, although the two companies are not discussing the possibility of airing football on ITV channels.

Machester City: Premier League champions for the 2011/12 season
Machester City: Premier League champions for the 2011/12 season

It is understood that discussions have taken place between BT and ITV about the possibility of ITV’s production arm, ITV Studios, producing BT's football programming when BT's Premier League rights begin next year.

Although BT has not yet issued a tender for its production requirements, sources suggest that it will start the formal process "imminently".

ITV has moved quickly to deny a report in The Daily Telegraph that suggested ITV and BT were discussing the possibility of ITV airing some of the games for which BT has the rights from August 2013.

A spokesman for ITV said: "We are not talking to BT about taking any of their Premier League matches for broadcast on ITV channels."

Although sources close to ITV accepted the possibility of broadcasting Premier League games on ITV channels was discussed as part of early stage negotiations, there are no live talks at present.

It has been suggested that ITV would serve as a "shop window" for BT by airing the games and that BT might recoup some of the £738m it paid for the rights through advertising.

However, a media agency source disputed whether BT would seriously consider an ad-funded model for any of its games, as Premier League coverage "doesn’t pay its way from an advertising perspective".

ITV Studios already produces its own football programming, as well as Al Jazeera's Premier League coverage, and is likely to be up against sports programming companies such as IMG and Sunset+Vine for the BT contract.

The spokesman for ITV said: "If BT were looking for a production company to produce their Premier League coverage, that is something that we would of course look at, as we do with other potential contracts."

It emerged that BT had swooped for the rights to broadcast Premier League games in June, when it was awarded two of the league’s seven packages of games running from the 2013/14 season to the 2015/16 season, in return for £738m.

A spokesman for BT declined to comment.

David Jones, CEO, Havas
David Jones, CEO, Havas
A view from David Jones

Think BR: Social media and the price of doing well

David Jones, chief executive officer of Havas, co-founder of One Young World and author of Who Cares Wins speaks as part of Virgin Media's Our...

The digital revolution has changed every facet of life, from business to education, from how we communicate to how we receive our news, from how we entertain ourselves to how we shop. It has completely rewritten the rules of the way the world functions, creating a shift every bit as significant as the industrial revolution.

And it has created a much more open, transparent and social world.

The level of freely available information, the sheer speed at which it can spread and the ability to use technology to create mass-movements has empowered ordinary people to hold businesses and leaders accountable. If they don't like what a business or a leader is doing they have the ability to sanction them or, as we saw during the Arab Spring, to remove them. In the business world, there is a new example every week of a company that is being held to account by people using the power of social media.

And while that's a massive challenge for the world of business it's a hugely positive thing for the world in general because it will drive the behaviour of businesses and leaders to a new and better standard.

That said, there is a need for caution. There is a risk that societies, leaders and businesses become reactionary and respond to spikes in public feeling rather than taking time to think, reflect and embed overall purpose and strategy and stick to that. A case of "Fire, ready, aim," rather than "Ready, aim, fire".

The key is combining the power of technology with the creativity of the human mind. As someone once said: "Computers are incredibly fast, accurate and stupid. Human beings are incredibly slow, inaccurate and brilliant. Together they are powerful beyond imagination".

Another area to watch, given that information flows at an ever-increasing speed, is the accuracy of that information. Today, anyone can publish anything so it can be hard for people to know what information to trust. Furthermore, some journalists now strive to be the fastest to get a story out rather than ensuring their information is robust.

Finally, there is the potential for the power of the internet to be used for ill rather than good by terrorists, criminals and oppressive regimes.

Despite these concerns, I think it is a massive positive for society, for business and for the world.

In the social media age, which is defined by radical transparency, the most successful businesses and leaders increasingly will be those that demonstrate the ability to lead and add value in a socially responsible way. The new price of doing well is doing good.

At the heart of it all is the brilliant younger generation, who will drive us all to change, maybe even faster than some of us are comfortable with. They are the most knowledgeable generation that has ever existed as technology has democratised access to information and education. They are the most responsible generation that has ever existed - not the rebellious idealists of previous generations - as they see the world's growing issues and problems. But above all they are the ones who best understand how to use the power of digital and social to drive positive change in the world.

It is their voice that is accelerating the global movement towards a more socially responsible future.

And from my own perspective this represents a huge opportunity for the world of business. At a simplistic level, last century NGOs and charities had great intentions, but not always great execution. Business had great execution, but not always great intentions.

This century can be about, and needs to be about, great intentions and great execution.

Tourists stay away from Olympic London

Hotels, Museums, and theatres all report a fall in business, with visitors put off by fears over security and overcrowding

Hotels in London have been forced to cut their prices dramatically after businessmen and tourists were put off staying in the City by the Olympics.

Museums and theatres are also struggling to compete with the Games, with attendances falling by up to a third.

Steve McNamara, the general secretary of the Licensed Taxi Drivers Association, said cab drivers had been hit hard by the lack of trade and described London as a "ghost town". Transport for London confirmed that traffic was down by a fifth.

The hotel price cuts mean that many rooms in London are now cheaper than they were this time last summer, according to Lastminute.com.

The website said the average room in London booked on a last-minute deal was available for 112 pouonds a night compared with 133 pounds last year.

West End traders said business had slumped by as much as 70 per cent, with tourists and Londoners steering clear because of fears about overcrowding.

The Earl of Bradford, the owner of Porters restaurant in Covent Garden, said takings were "disastrous". "Covent Garden is so quiet when it is normally humming with activity," he said.

Nica Burns, the chief executive of Nimax Theatres, which owns half a dozen London venues, forecast that ticket sales would be down by 30 per cent over the summer. "For my six theatres, last week was the worst this year. I think the Olympics are great, but I feel like I've been the bull's eye for the archery competition," she said.

The Association of Leading Visitor Attractions, which represents tourist attractions in London, said attendances over the past two weeks had fallen by about a third.

A spokesman for the British Museum said there had been a fall in the number of visitors of between 25 and 30 per cent.

Norwich City FC Player Profiles

UPDATED 10:00 16th August 2013

Alexander Tettey is sponsored by:

NORWICH City signed Norwegian international Alexander Tettey from French side Rennes on a two-year deal in August 2012, ahead of agreeing a fresh two-year deal in September 2014.

Born in the Ghanaian capital of Accra, he moved to Norway as a youngster, and spent six seasons at Rosenborg from 2003-09.

While at Rosenborg, he made 89 appearances, won the Norwegian title and played 12 games in the Champions League - including a European debut away to Real Mardid.

He joined Rennes in August 2012, and totalled 82 appearances over three years prior to completing a switch to Norfolk.

Tettey enjoyed an impressive first season in the Premier League, chalking up 27 appearances after scoring on his debut against Doncaster in the Carling Cup.

The industrious midfielder instantly proved a big hit with supporters, and provided a crucial assist in the 1-0 home win over Arsenal when his fierce shot produced a goalkeeping fumble for Grant Holt's winner.

An ankle injury meant he missed three months in the middle of the 2013-14 campaign, but he still managed to make 22 appearances and scored one of the finest goals seen at Carrow Road in recent years with a 25-yard volley in the 2-0 win against Sunderland in March.

The Norwegian international formed a pivotal part of the City squad which secured promotion back to the Premier League in 2014-15, featuring in 39 games and scoring twice.

Tettey then featured heavily in the following Premier League campaign, playing 23 times before sustaining an ankle ligament injury in March that kept him out for the rest of the season.

After recovering from injury, the midfielder signed a new two-year deal with the Club in July 2016.

Preparing for chemotherapy

Preparation begins once the doctors and the person with cancer decide that chemotherapy is an option.

The medical oncologist is a cancer specialist who oversees chemotherapy treatment and works with other members of the healthcare team to plan and deliver treatments. To help plan the treatment, the medical oncologist will usually:

  • take a personal health history and perform a physical examination to identify conditions that could affect chemotherapy
    • For example, some people may not be good candidates for certain types of chemotherapy if they have underlying lung, heart, liver or kidney diseases.
  • review all test results and surgery and pathology reports
  • order additional tests to make sure a person is fit enough to have chemotherapy, including:
    • Urinalysis is used to check kidney function.
    • Blood tests are done to assess blood counts, blood clotting, and liver and kidney function.
    • Electrocardiogram (ECG) is used to check the heart (especially if the drugs given could affect heart function).
    • Imaging tests can determine the size and location of tumours and if nearby organs or lymph nodes are affected.
  • arrange for any other healthcare professionals needed to help prepare for chemotherapy treatment
    • For example, a registered dietitiandietitianA healthcare professional who specializes in food and nutrition. can help if treatment will affect what a person can eat or the appetite.

Before treatment begins

Preparation depends on the type of chemotherapy being planned and how it will begiven.

  • Special medicines are often given about 20–30 minutes before chemotherapy. These drugs help reduce side effects, such as nausea and vomiting. They are sometimes called premedications.
  • Many chemotherapy drugs are given into a vein (intravenously, or IV), so an IV needle or catheter is inserted.
  • Sometimes a special type of soft, flexible catheter, called a central venous cathetercentral venous catheterA catheter (flexible tube) that is passed through a vein in the neck, groin or chest into the vena cava (the large vein leading into the heart)., is used to deliver the drugs. It may be used especially if chemotherapy will be given over a long period of time, if the drugs will damage the veins or if it might be difficult to start an IV. This catheter is put into a large vein and may be implanted under the skin. It stays in place for as long as it is needed.

Dose and schedule

The medical oncologist decides what type of chemotherapy drugs to use and determines the dose, schedule and length of treatment. These will depend on:

  • the type of cancer
  • the goal of the treatment
  • the stagestageA description of the extent of cancer in the body, including the size of the tumour, whether there are cancer cells in the lymph nodes and whether the disease has spread from its original site to other parts of the body. of the cancer
  • the person’s age
  • the body surface area, or BSA (calculated using height and weight)
  • the person’s overall health
  • other types of cancer treatment given or planned
  • how the person responds to chemotherapy

How to prepare for chemotherapy

People often want to know if they need to do anything special to prepare for chemotherapy treatment. To help cope and recover from chemotherapy:

  • Eat a well-balanced diet high in calories and protein to get the energy and nutrients your body needs to heal.
  • Get lots of rest.
  • Let the doctor or healthcare team know if you are taking any medicines and natural health products, including over-the-counter medicines, antioxidantsantioxidantsAny substance that help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals (unstable molecules made during metabolism, which is the chemical processes needed for cell function, growth and reproduction). or high doses of vitamins or minerals. Some of these products may interfere with the effectiveness of chemotherapy drugs or increase side effects. The benefits or harmful effects of using these products during or shortly after treatment are not fully known.
  • Don’t smoke. Studies have shown that people with certain types of cancer are at a greater risk of their cancer recurring (coming back) and of new cancers developing if they continue to smoke. Smoking can also reduce a person’s appetite and can worsen some side effects (such as a sore mouth).

When children are diagnosed with cancer, both children and their family have questions and concerns about chemotherapy. They want to know how it is given and how to manage side effects. Being prepared and knowing what to expect when chemotherapy is given to children can reduce anxiety for both children and parents. Parents and caregivers can prepare and help children cope with chemotherapy by giving them explanations that are appropriate to their age and maturity.

Study design of the CANUPIS study?

The CANUPIS study is a nationwide longitudinal study (a so-called cohort study) which includes all children born between 1985 and 2007 in Switzerland. Lifetime history of residence will be compared between children who developed cancer and all other children in Switzerland. The study will thus determine if children living near nuclear power plants have an increased risk of cancer compared to those living further away.

Data on children with cancer come from the Swiss Childhood Cancer Registry, which contains information on all children diagnosed with cancer in Switzerland since 1976. In total, 2’957 children born between 1985 and 2007 were diagnosed with cancer, including 981 leukemia cases.

Data on places of residence of all children born between 1985 and 2007 in Switzerland come from the “Swiss National Cohort”. This is an anonymous dataset including the entire population of Switzerland, containing information from the census 1990, the census 2000 and other routine data sources.

The CANUPIS study will use accurate information on place of residence, including geo-coded information on the exact place of the child’s home rather than information only on the town or village. Furthermore the CANUPIS study will not only consider the place of residence at the time of the diagnosis of the cancer. Rather, if the family has moved, all places of residence since birth will be included in the study. The study will thus be able to examine the importance of exposures that occurred very early in childhood. Another strength of the CANUPIS study is that it will consider other environmental exposures which might be associated with an increased risk of cancer,  such as high voltage power lines and industrial zones. These factors may confound the association with living in the vicinity of nuclear power plants. For these reasons, the CANUPIS study is not a replication of the German study, but an independent study using a different design.

An external advisory board consisting of internationally renowned experts from six countries guarantees the scientific quality and the independence of the CANUPIS study (see advisory board).

Anna Dressed in Blood

Title: Anna Dressed in Blood
Author: Kendare Blake
Published: Publish mm/yyyy
Rating: 4 out of 5 bloody stars
Acquired: from Barnes & Noble

Cas Lowood kills the dead. Like his father before him, he follows stories, urban legends, folk tales, to their source and deals with the ghost, the murderous dead, and sends them where they belong.

Cas, and his kitchen-witch mother, have moved to a new town. They came after hearing the story of a terrible ghost called Anna Dressed in Blood. The story goes that any person who enters the house where she was killed is never seen again. Because she kills them!

Cas doesn’t expect to find anything unusual. He comes in like he usually does. He enrolls in the local high school and gets himself invited to party. What better place to find out the local ghost stories than at a high school kegger? He out what he wants. Anna was murdered in 1958. In the house she haunts, in a white dress, that now drips with her blood. Anyone who crosses her threshold is brutal murdered. No one has been there in years. Until now. The local jocks, jerks, take it upon themselves to give Cas a proper introduction. They knock him out and toss him in with Anna Dressed in Blood. Who is definitely NOT at all what he expected. And who does something completely unexpected.

She spares Cas.

The characters are great. I can’t help but love Cas. Like any typical teenager, he’s struggling to find his place in life. He takes up the mantel discarded by his father (since he was murdered doing his work, which was also killing ghosts remember) and, while he’s good at it, you can tell he has an underlying need to prove himself plus he also has this slight confidence problem, which I found endearing and completely understandable. I mean, he’s taken over the “family business” at 17 and the family business is killing ghosts? That seems a hard thing to take over at any age! I thought Blake did a great job of portraying the bravado a 17 year old boy would have, you know, around others (like his mom!), but also giving him this vulnerability and confusion. It really made me fall for Cas quite a bit! Plus, watching Cas make friends for the first time in his life was just priceless.

Anna is, just, wow. What an awesome character. One I feel I can’t say much about, I don’t want to spoil the surprise of her. Cursed in death to kill whomever crosses her threshold; how many characters can you say that about? From her first step onto the pages, Anna is such a lovely conflicted character. She can’t help doing what she’s doing, she’s been doing it for around 50 years, and you can immediately tell what it’s doing to her soul. Of course Cas falls for her. I don’t really think that’s a spoiler either; this IS a YA book. It’s what happens after that event that keeps you reading. Cas is meant to kill her. Will he?

  • The plot was great, very original for the genre I thought
  • The writing was great, very gripping. This book was hard to put down!
  • Strong, well written, and well rounded characters
  • Highlights are/is the blood-thirsty ghost?

  • You may not like this if you don’t like gory violence.

I was so very surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. I haven’t read much in the paranormal YA genre for awhile, because it felt like it was getting so formulaic and predictable. Anna Dressed in Blood was very much not what I was expecting. Engaging characters, excellent twist…I couldn’t help but immediately download the sequel as soon as I finish. (One thing never changes. Cliffhangers.) If you’ve been looking for something new, with excellent writing, interesting premise, and fantastic characters, look no further!

Favorite Bits:

I’ve seen most of what there is to be afraid of in this world, and to tell you the truth, the worst of them are the ones that make you afraid in the light. The things that your eyes see plainly and can’t forget are worse than huddled black figures left to the imagination. Imagination has a poor memory; it slinks away and goes blurry. Eyes remember for much longer.

I can feel that photo of Anna staring at me from sixty years ago, and I can’t help myself from wanting to protect her, wanting to save her from becoming what she already is.

Over the course of my life I’ve been to lots of places. Shadowed places where things have gone wrong. Sinister places where things still are. I always hate the sunlit towns, full of newly built developments with double-car garages in shades of pale eggshell, surrounded by green lawns and dotted with laughing children. Those towns aren’t any less haunted than the others. They’re just better liars.

Veterans Group Refuses To Take Money From Trump's 'Political Stunt'

Priyanka Prasad
The Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America has stated they will not be taking donations from Trump's event in Iowa, rejecting his "political stunt."

us veterans

In a statement on Wednesday, Donald Trump announced that he would not be attending Thursday’s Republican presidential debate due to the presence of Megyn Kelly and what he has deemed a “childish…and taunting” PR statement from Fox News.

Instead, Trump stated that he would be holding an alternative event to raise money for veterans and wounded warriors at Drake University.

However, it appears veterans want nothing to do with Trump—Paul Rieckhoff, the founder and CEO of the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (which includes 150,000 veterans) made a statement on Twitter stating the group would refuse any money that came from Trump’s fundraiser.

According to ThinkProgress, the IAVA “is one of the largest and most politically influential veterans’ groups in the United States [and] they will not make an endorsement in either the 2016 primaries or the general election in November. 'We hold them all accountable and have always been nonpartisan,’ Rieckhoff said of the many candidates vying for the White House.”

Trump’s move to boycott the debate, a calculated political statement undertaken only to bring more attention to himself, did not go over well with Rieckhoff and IAVA, who saw right through his charade. Rieckhoff explicitly clarified that, “Vets don't need political stunts. We need candidates to present smart, specific plans on VA reform, suicide…If folks want to support vets, $$ doesn't need to be funneled through a political campaign. Just donate directly to groups doing good work.”

Sen. Ted Cruz has jumped into the situation as well; a group of his Super PACS claimed that they would donate $1.5 million to veterans groups is Trump participated in the debate.

Rieckhoff called out the politically-driven nature of this “charitable” offer as well:

Many criticized Rieckhoff and the IAVA for this stance, arguing that regardless of the motives, the donations would help veterans. Yet Rieckhoff remained firm, declaring that accepting money from political campaigns set a “bad precedent.”

Trump has claimed 2 other candidates want to join his event at Drake University, yet has not specified any names yet. If the IAVA will not accept his donations, it remains to be seen which veterans group will.

2009 Honda Civic Owner Comments

problem #5

Jan 012011

  • miles

The paint on the roof of my Honda Civic is peeling off. This first happened fairly early on after I purchased by vehicle. This is not regular oxidation, from how I see it, as I do not treat my car any different than anyone else, who are not experiencing similar issues. From what I've read, there was a paint warranty extension for dark blue 2003-2005 Odyssey's back in may of 2008--this warranty should be extended to Honda Civic 2009 vehicles as well.

Civic 4-cyl

  • 32,178 miles
I was at a red light waiting for the green light to turn to the left. When the green light appeared, I accelerated at a speed of 15 when out of no where I heard a boom sound coming from the engine. This seem very abnormal to me since I had barely purchase my car 4 months ago. I took my car to the Honda dealer to see what was going on with my car. After waiting a few hours, the mechanic told me there were many things wrong with the car. The boom sound was made by the breakage of the wishbone that holds the lower engine and besides that it needed 2 tires, alignment, cabinfilter, brake flush, P/S rack. I honestly don't think it is fair to me that I bought a 2009 car for it to have this many problems. When I bought my car the man from auto plaza told me that I wouldn't be having any problems with my car for a long time and then I find out all of this parts wrong with my car. After this incident, I went to talk to the man from auto plaza and he told me that when they had purchase the car they didn't inspect it before putting it on sale.this action seems to me very irresponsible to not have inspected the car before putting it on sale. I honestly didn't know what else to do and this is why I'm writing a complaint here. Please help me with my situation.

Armada 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 1,300 miles

Well I thought that I was purchasing a really good and safe vehicle at first, but now I am finding to almost doubt myself.... well I have been driving my Nissan Armada for about two months now and it used to get me to work and back home on a daily basis. It is also used to take me and my children to the doctors etc. I had felt this vibration in the truck and steering wheel and I did not think it was anything until it started to get worse as the days progressed. If I go over 30 mph and have to slow down the vibration is real minor. If I go over 35 mph it takes longer to stop and the vibration gets worst. I have called up the dealer to try to get this problem fixed and they told me that I have to make an apt. And just wait to see if they can fix it... so far no call back of any kind.

tC 4-cyl

  • 80,400 miles

I purchased my Scion from my local dealership in Feb of 2015. On the 17th of March when coming to a stop the driver seat moved forward on its own. The seat had became unlatched from the seat runner under the driver seat. I had to adjust the seat and made sure that it locked into place. Since then this problem has happened over and over. I would say at least 40 times. The seat will not lock into place when you slide the seat forward or move it to place items behind it as well. It will lock on one side of the seat runner at times and I have to adjust it each time. This problem can be a safely issue when braking hard or in a accident as well. I have seen recalls on this problem with other models of this auto. I talk to my local Toyota dealership about the problem but they say there is no recall or repair bulletin on my model at this time.
