Mai avere fretta, anche se dettata da validi motivi. Un collega, dopo essere uscito di strada a causa del ghiaccio mentre stava andando in visita domiciliare urgente, ha scoperto di non essere assicurato per i danni accidentalmente causati all’ auto aziendale. Così il datore di lavoro gli ha scalato in busta paga, a rate, l’importo per la riparazione del mezzo. Quindi, prima di usare una vettura aziendale, informatevi bene se questa ha un’assicurazione per danni da utilizzo. Se poi premete il piede sull’acceleratore per arrivare prima o in tempo da un paziente in gravi condizioni e un autovelox vi immortala, potete trovare, come è accaduto ad un collega ed amico, un giudice che vi fa pagare la contravvenzione, in quanto non siete un servizio di emergenza medica e dovete rispettar

A Pittsburgh couple is suing Google for including their house in Google’s Street View service. According to a lawsuit filed in Allegheny County’s Court of Common Pleas this week, Aaron and Christine Boring accuse Google of “intentional and/or grossly reckless invasion” of their privacy as their street is “clearly marked with a ‘Private Road’ sign.” According to the docs at The Smoking Gun, the Borings allege that the inclusion of their house in Google Street View caused them “mental suffering” and diminished the value of their home (note they only paid $165,000 for the house, the cost of a car parking space in a large city). The Borings are seeking in excess of $25,000 in damages and want a court order directing Google to destro

"Part of the design for the show is that eventually every character dies except for Patty," Todd jokes. "We're beginning the writing process [for season two] and there are going to be a least three new characters and then continuing storylines from the first season and our desire is to give people who have watched the show and have liked the show in its first season very much the appreciation that we have for you as audience members to continue to storylines and threads and also introduce new storylines and threads moving forward. But there will definitely be a continuation as well as new actors and new stories."

The whole prospect of getting in an auto accident and what to do afterwards is a little dicey and complex.

Individuals who experience military combat obviously endure extreme stress, and this exposure leaves many diagnosed with the psychiatric condition of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD is associated with several abnormalities in brain structure and function. However, as Roger Pitman of Harvard Medical School's Department of Psychiatry explains, "Although it is tempting to conclude that these abnormalities were caused by the traumatic event, it is also possible that they were pre-existing risk factors that increased the risk of developing PTSD upon the traumatic event's occurrence." Drs. Kiyoto Kasai and Hidenori Yamasue of the University of Tokyo and colleagues sought to examine this association in a new study published in the March 15th issue of Biological Psychiatry. The resear

Let’s take a very quick look at two types of damages:1. Compensatory DamagesCompensatory damages refer to damages that are recovered in payment for injury or economic loss.2. Punitive DamagesPunitive damages are damages that are added due to malicious or grossly negligent action. Punitive damages may be awarded in a lawsuit as a punishment and example to others for malicious, evil or particularly fraudulent acts.In a disparate treatment case, the statute (Title VII) allows the following remedies (as applicable): injunctive relief*, reinstatement, front pay (until or in lieu of reinstatement), back pay, attorney’s fees and costs, compensatory damages for any past or future out-of-pocket losses and any emotional harm, and punitive damages if the employer acted with malice or

Sorry for the late posting. I was visiting a newborn cousin today.As promised, here are 5 more factors to consider, when calculating damages against an employer. This is not an exhaustive list. However, these 10 factors will certainly give you a good starting point for evaluating the amount of damages you and/or an attorney may seek in a civil suit. Even if you are represented by an attorney, you should still have an understanding of some of the factors that are weighed in regard to calculating damages. So, here are factors 6-10:6. The employer's actions after it was informed of discrimination should be considered. An employer who has notice of discriminatory conduct and fails to take action could incurpunitive damages.For instance, after an employee complained of discrimination (harassme

After looking at various EEOC recommendations and guidelines, there are about 10 factors I’d recommend you consider when it comes to calculating damages to seek against an employer. Today, I will list the first 5 factors:1. The degree of egregiousness and nature of your employer’s (coworker’s, supervisor’s, etc.) conduct should be considered.When you think of egregious behavior, think of what the EEOC refers to as behavior that is “shocking” or “offensive to the conscience.” Egregious behavior is outlandish/extreme and unconscionable.For instance, a coworker throwing a make-shift noose around a Black employee’s neck and HR dismissing this as “horseplay.”Or, a Black worker being told, per the EEOC example, that only a certain number of Black workers could work in

Van Insurance Is Essential To Cover Your Van Against DamagesBy: Smith JamesA van is larger than a car with more seating capacity, generally more than eight people. In the UK, a van may generally be used for a commercial purpose, since families do not need a van. It becomes essential thus to ensure it against the high risks it faces on the roads. Van insurance helps you out in a number of ways. It helps cover the van against collisions and helps prevent financial losses.In fact, collision coverage is a specialised category in van insurance. It provides coverage for collisions on the road with other vehicles. There is another type of coverage which is known as comprehensive coverage. This one provides coverage to your van for other damage-incurring losses as well, such as fires and earthquak

For the first time, researchers have evidence that secondhand smoke can cause emphysema. The lungs of 13 current or former smokers, and 45 people who had never smoked, were studied using a modified form of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Of the nonsmokers, 22 had heavy exposure to secondhand smoke for at least a decade. The MRI detected signs of early lung damage in 67 percent of smokers, but also in 27 percent of nonsmokers with heavy exposure to secondhand smoke. In contrast, only 4 percent of nonsmokers without this exposure showed signs of lung damage. It's long been thought that exposure to secondhand smoke can cause lung damage and emphysema, but previous methods of detection weren't sensitive enough to prove it.

DENVER (AP) - A woman involved in a two-vehicle crash in Denver more than two years ago has gone back to court in an effort to get an insurance company to pay up. Shantel Gonzales was riding with a friend on Father's Day 2005 when the vehicle in which she was a passenger collided with a truck. Gonzales was 22 weeks pregnant at the time. Doctors performed an emergency Caesarean section, delivering a boy that Gonzales named Marco. But he was born 3.5 months premature, and lived for just over an hour. Gonzales sued Shelter Insurance for damages, and a jury last year awarded her $130,000. The woman's attorney says Shelter hasn't paid that verdict, though it did pay $14,000 toward her medical expenses. Shelter would not comment. The trial is expected to last three or four days. via

It's so frightening to see that many truck drivers speed on

CAVEMEN “The Cavewoman” - 8pm ABC So far I am not in love with Cavemen, it has funny moments but it needs to pick up in order for me to keep watching. I’ll give it a few more weeks, but I’m just not that excited about it. FIVE DAYS “Part 3″ - 8pm HBO Day 28 already! I’m only on Day 1. It’s an interesting show but I need to really concentrate when I watch it because it’s a pretty serious. That’s why I tend to hold off until the week-end to watch it. It’s a nice break from the other types of TV shows I watch though. CARPOOLERS “Who Would You Do?” - 8:30pm ABC I am liking Carpoolers so far. It’s pretty fun and I really enjoy all the car scenes with them singing together and stuff. Carpoolers is here to stay on my TV schedule for now.

Mitchell Silverman, an attorney in Florida, noticed in a recent news-story that GW Bush’s twin daughters presented him with a mix CD of exercise music for Father’s Day. Since the record industry maintains that making and distributing mix CDs is a copyright infringement, Silverman sent their legal offices a letter on letterhead asking them to sue. So my question is, because I haven’t really researched it too much (because it doesn’t matter, good work RIAA a few hundred down a few billion to go), but is copyright infringement an actual CRIMINAL act or is it just a CIVIL crime? I.E. are the powers that be .required. to investigate this, or will the RIAA just turn their heads because they have their cawks in booshes arse?

Cholesterol contributes to atherosclerosis -- a condition that greatly increases the risk of heart attack and stroke -- by suppressing the activity of a key protein that protects the heart and blood vessels, researchers at the Saint Louis University School of Medicine have found. Their findings could lead to new therapies to treat or prevent heart disease -- the leading cause of death in the United States -- as well as answer key questions about other diseases associated with high cholesterol levels, including some types of cancer.

This is by far my favorite show of the year. Ever since the pilot I've been hooked because it grips you and doesn't let go. Glenn Close is amazing in her role and she's made me a huge fan. I highly recommend this show to anyone that loves drama.Here is the description from iTunes:You can purchase the already aired episodes from iTunes Here.

Una de las novedades norteamericanas en materia de series de TV de este verano es “Damages”, cuya estrella principal es Glenn Close. Cuenta la historia de una joven abogada llamada Ellen Parsons (Rose Byrme), que aparece en mitad de la calle, desorientada, y con las manos ensangrentadas. Cuando la policía la identifica y acude a su piso, encuentran a su prometido muerto en la bañera. Este es el comienzo de una historia de maquiavelismo jurídico y no-jurídico, en el que se puede observar una implacable batalla entre dos bandos irreconciliables. Por una parte tenemos a Arthur Frobisher (Ted Danson), que es un millonario que hizo invertir a sus trabajadores sus fondos de pensiones en acciones de su empresa, y cuando éstas habían alcanzado su máxima cotización, vendió sus propias acciones, ganando miles de millones, pero dejando en la ruina a sus empleados. Para la defensa de sus intereses, cuenta con un pérfido abogado (Ray Fiske), y algún que otro “oscuro profesi

Damages star Noah Bean tells us about working with Glenn Close and gives his thoughts on his character's untimely demise, as well as drops a few hints as to what we can expect for his character in upcoming episodes.

Patty receives death threats, while Katie continues to lie about her relationship with Gregory. Meanwhile, the present-day murder investigation continues as we find out about Ellen and David's called-off engagement.

The NY Times just published an interview with Rose Byrne, stating that she signed a six-year contract for Damages!!"This show is hard work, but I'm loving it," says Byrne, who turned 28 last month. "It's like falling down a rabbit hole. It's not for actors who need the kind of control where you know the beginning, middle and the end, because it's not there yet."

Episode II: Jesus Mary and Joe Crocker'I manipulated you, yes.''Well I don't like to be manipulated.'And so the story truly begins! There were so many great quotes from this ep. I have to include a few to begin with.'I have a temper too, but I have learned when to use it,' says Patty. She's really sinking in her meathooks into Ellen. She's wanting to mould her into the perfect Sith apprentice.

Episode I: The PilotThe intro music is so deceiving, much like the central theme of the show. Cue the peaceful external shots of New York, bringing you inside to the elevator revealing Ellen Parsons (Rose Byrne) covered in blood.Glenn Close stars as Senator Palpatine, I mean, high-stakes litigator Patty Hewes. Her manipulation of the system and of the people around her is most definitely up to Palpatine's standards. She's cool, charismatic, and cold-bloodedly ruthless. Patience is a virtue Patty knows all too well and it reminds me of Susan Sarandon's character Wensicia from Children of Dune.

Doing background work can be hit or miss or terms of whether or not it's a good experience (there's so many factors that are outside of your control), but here's some quick tips to help make this type of experience a positive one (as this one certaintly was for me) . . . First, check out Bob Frasers great advice article all about being an 'extra' in film and television. Second, leave in plenty of time to get to holding early -- I mean 10 to 15 or even 20mins early. 20 is good, because it's likely, in big cities like L.A., N.Y.C., or Chicago, you've never been to where they're shooting, so your gonna get lost -- count on it. This isn't pessimism -- it's realism. Third, usually you'll work on the set for less than 50% of the time your hired, sometimes a lot less. Unless you're up for chit-chat to your fellow background actors for 10+ hours, bring things you want to read, educate yourself; it's a great opportunity to catch up -- think of it like this: they're

A judge ruled last Tuesday that a high school student who sued after being disciplined and then mercilessly teased for using the phrase "That's so gay" is not entitled to monetary damages.Sonoma County Superior Court Judge Elaine Rushing said she sympathized with 18-year-old Rebekah Rice for the ridicule she experienced at Maria Carrillo High School. But, the judge said, Rice's lawyers failed to prove that school administrators had violated any state laws or singled the girl out for punishment."All of us have probably felt at some time that we were unfairly punished by a callous teacher, or picked on and teased by boorish and uncaring bullies," the judge wrote in a 20-page ruling. "Unfortunately, this is part of what teenagers endure in becoming adults."This from CNN.

Sodium benzoate, a preservative used in large quantities in soft drinks like Sprite, Dr. Pepper and Oasis, may cause severe damage to DNA and increase your risk of related diseases like Parkinson's while accelerating the aging process.Sodium benzoate appears to damage the “power station” of cells, known as the mitochondria, according to a British aging expert at Sheffield University. His studies found that the preservative can “totally inactivate” and “knock out” cells’ mitochondria, which causes the cells to seriously malfunction. The end result is an increased risk of a slew of diseases.Sodium benzoate has also come under fire because, when combined with the vitamin C in many soft drinks, it forms benzene, a cancer-causing chemical linked to leukemia. In one study, at least five brands of soft drinks were found to contain excessive benzene levels.Sodium benzoate is used freely in the United States and the UK. Fortunately, you can protect your health from this dangerous

A former Tyneside shipyard worker has won almost £1m damages after developing a fatal asbestos-related lung cancer.Grandfather Raymond Shanks sued Newcastle-based Swan Hunter, where he worked as an electrician for four years from 1965.The 59-year-old was diagnosed with mesothelioma two years ago and is only likely to live until early 2009.

Before Michael died, Mr Shanks promised him that he would support his two children, now aged nine and seven.Giving his ruling on the amount of the claim, disputed by the company, Judge Hickinbottom said he was in close proximity to insulation fitters and others working with asbestos at the Wallsend yard. This was his only exposure to asbestos during his working life.He emigrated to
