Egypt activists to step up protests

CAIRO?? Activists vowed to crank up pressure on Egypt's generals on Friday, a day after a court ordered the release of three American students arrested during the unrest in Cairo.

Demonstrators plan an overwhelming show of people power to cap almost a week of protests against army rule that have left 41 people dead.

State media said the army leaders picked a political veteran in his late 70s to form a national salvation government, a choice that was quickly snubbed by many of the young activists who have led the demonstrations in Tahrir Square.

Kamal Ganzouri agreed in principle to lead the new government after meeting the head of the military council, Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, the website of state newspaper Al Ahram reported, citing sources close to Ganzouri.

As talk of a Ganzouri appointment filtered through the crowds thronging Tahrir on Thursday night, discussion quickly focused on his age.

"Ganzouri is no good for this transitional period, which needs youth leaders not grandparents," said student Maha Abdullah.

Freedom ordered for US students
Meantime, freedom was expected for three Americans who attend the American University in Cairo. Derrik Sweeney, a 19-year-old Georgetown University student, Luke Gates, a 21-year-old Indiana University student, and Gregory Porter, a 19-year-old Drexel University student, were arrested on Sunday on the American University roof near Tahrir Square where they were allegedly throwing firebombs at security forces fighting with protesters.

Attorney Theodore Simon, who represents Porter, from a Philadelphia suburb, said his client remained in custody at a police station as of Thursday afternoon Eastern time.

But Simon said he was able to speak by phone with Porter, describing the student's demeanor as "calm and measured, demonstrating a maturity well beyond his 19 years."

"He was extremely thankful and appreciative for our efforts and the unconditional support of his mother and father," Simon said.

Sweeney's mother, Joy Sweeney, said she is "absolutely elated" at the news of her 19-year-old son's release.

"I can't wait to give him a huge hug and tell him how much I love him," she said, adding that the news of the court order was the best Thanksgiving gift.

Meanwhile an American film maker and journalist was arrested by Egyptian police while documenting clashes in Tahrir Square, she told a colleague by phone.

Karim Amer, the producer for Jehane Nojaim ? an award-winning film maker of Egyptian ancestry who is best-known for her al-Jazeera TV documentary "Control Room" ? said Nojaim was detained and her camera was confiscated.

Amer said he was separated from her after they both fled from tear gas.

Egyptian-American columnist and activist Mona Eltahawy, who regularly appears on news channels as a self-described "speaker on Arab and Muslim issues" was also reportedly arrested in Cairo.

"Beaten arrested in interior ministry," she posted on her Twitter account overnight.

She tweeted "I AM FREE" at about 5:30 a.m. ET, and then sent several messages saying she had been beaten and sexually assaulted, using strong language to condemn the Egyptian police.

She also said her right hand was "so swollen I can't close it." She posted a picture of her hand. She tweeted she was being taken to hospital.

The U.S. Department of State tweeted early Thursday that it was aware of the reports that Nojaim and Elthawy had been arrested and said the U.S. Embassy in Cairo was "engaging authorities."

Military apologizes
Egypt's military also issued a statement on Thursday apologizing for the loss of life and vowing to bring to justice those responsible for the deaths of protesters in Cairo's iconic Tahrir Square and elsewhere in the country.

Slideshow: Violent clashes in Egypt (on this page)

Army troops have used metal bars and barbed wire to build barricades to separate the protesters and the police on side streets leading from Tahrir to the nearby Interior Ministry. Most of the fighting has been taking place on those side streets.

A truce came into force around 6 a.m. and was still holding late Thursday.

In a communique, protesters called the million-man march on "the Friday of the last chance" for the army to hand over power.

The Egyptian Independent Trade Union Federation called for a workers' march to Tahrir. Another labor rights group called for a general strike to back the protests. Labour unions played an important role in the movement that toppled Mubarak.

Supporters of the army council had said they would hold a rally to back the military. In a statement on its Facebook page, the army council said it was "appealing to them to cancel the demonstration," saying it wanted to avoid divisions.

Suspicion that the army will continue to wield power behind an elected civilian administration has grown in recent weeks as the government and political parties tussled over the shape of a new constitution.

The military council originally promised to return to barracks within six months of the fall of Mubarak, but then set a timetable for elections and drawing up the constitution that would have left it in power until late next year or early 2013.

Fearing job security, employees come to work sick

Getty Images stock

By MyHealthNews

Sick employees who try to fight through their runny noses and sore throats while on the job might seem like workplace troupers, but new research shows they may actually be suffering from a bad case of insecurity.

A new Concordia University study found that employees who were insecure about their jobs also were more likely to attend work while ill ? making them present in body but not in spirit.

"Secure employees don't fear retribution for an occasional absence because of sickness," Gary Johns, the study's author and a management professor at Concordia's John Molson School of Business in Montreal, said.

According to the research, over six months employees reported trekking into the office three times while sick; comparatively, they called in sick and stayed home only about one and a half days in that same time period.

Some professions, including caregivers and people working in early education, showed higher rates of employees coming to work while sick. Those working on interdependent projects or in teams also showed higher levels of what the study refers to as "presenteeism."

"Often, a person might feel socially obligated to attend work despite illness, while other employees feel organizational pressure to attend work despite medical discomfort," Johns said.

Although companies have long dealt with issues of increased cases of sick days from employees, Johns said his research suggests businesses actually should be doing more to curb employees? perceived workplace obligation to be at the office when they?re under the weather.

"Estimating the cost of absenteeism is more tangible than counting the impact of presenteeism," Johns said. "Yet a worker's absence ? or presence ? during illness can have both costs and benefits for constituents."

The full study, which included surveys of more than 400 employees, was published in a recent issue of the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology.

South Africa: Lawmakers adopt secrets bill (AP)

JOHANNESBURG ? South African lawmakers overwhelmingly approved a bill Tuesday to protect state secrets that critics say will stifle expression.

Tuesday's 229-107 vote came after months of fierce debate, but was widely expected because the bill was presented by the governing African National Congress, which has a large parliamentary majority.

A range of opposition groups say they will challenge the measure at the Constitutional Court if it becomes law.

The bill's critics included two Nobel prizewinners: peace laureate Retired Archbishop Desmond Tutu and literature laureate Nadine Gordimer.

The office of Nelson Mandela, South Africa's first post-apartheid president and also a Nobel peace laureate, also has expressed reservations about the bill.

Others who objected included newspaper editors, prominent writers, church groups, freedom-of-expression lobbyists and business leaders.

The ANC says South Africa needed to update apartheid-era legislation defining secrets and setting out punishments for divulging them.

Parliament's upper house could ask for revisions, but that rarely happens. President Jacob Zuma will have to sign the bill to make it law, and while his legal advisers may ask for revisions, he was expected to approve the measure.

Critics donned black and staged protests at the ANC's downtown Johannesburg headquarters during morning rush hour Tuesday, and in the afternoon outside parliament in Cape Town as lawmakers voted, saying the bill's weaknesses include its lack of a provision allowing those who break the law to avoid going to jail if they could argue they acted in the public interest.

Activists fear the adoption of the measure in a country known for one of the continent's freest and most open constitutions could influence other governments in the region.

In a statement late Monday, Tutu said it is "insulting to all South Africans to be asked to stomach legislation that could be used to outlaw whistle-blowing and investigative journalism ... and that makes the state answerable only to the state."

Tutu won a Nobel Peace Prize for his nonviolent opposition to white rule. In more recent years, he has been a sharp critic of ANC moves he sees as undermining rule of law and weakening South Africa's fledgling democracy.

The ANC said South Africa needs to update apartheid-era secrets legislation. The party bristles at suggestions from critics that its proposal would take the country back to the days when white racist officials banned newspapers and punished whistle blowers to stifle criticism.

Prominent ANC members also have opposed the bill, among them a former state security minister. The office of Nelson Mandela, South Africa's first post-apartheid president, also has expressed reservations about the bill. Newspaper editors, prominent writers led by Nobel laureate Nadine Gordimer, church groups, freedom of expression lobbyists, business leaders and others have lobbied against it.

Pretoria-based freelance journalist Tanya de Vente-Bijker wore black in response to calls from activists to observe "Black Tuesday" to protest the bill. She said she hoped the protest would lead South Africans who don't work in the media to investigate how their rights to information and to speak out if they see wrongdoing might be affected.

The ANC bill says "information that is accessible to all is the basis of a transparent, open and democratic society," but says secrecy is sometimes necessary to "save lives, to enhance and to protect the freedom and security of persons, to bring criminals to justice, to protect the national security and to engage in effective government and diplomacy."

While the bill makes it a crime to divulge state secrets, it also makes it a crime for an official to withhold information to conceal wrongdoing or incompetence, or merely to avoid embarrassment.

In June, the ANC backed down on some of its original proposals, removing mandatory prison sentences for possessing and publishing secrets ? though reporters and others could still be jailed for publishing information that officials want kept secret. The ANC also agreed to limit the power to classify secrets to state security agencies, and proposed that an independent official review appeals of state security rulings on classified information.

At times, the rhetoric about the bill appears to have less to do with its merits than with a distrust of government on one side after a series of corruption scandals involving high-ranking officials, including the national police chief; and complaints from politicians of witch hunts by a biased media.

In a speech to parliament last week, State Security Minister Siyabonga Cwele even raised the possibility that demonstrators who have held peaceful marches to rally opposition to the bill were somehow being used by South Africa's enemies.

The secrets bill is separate from another ANC proposal that has raised concerns ? the possible creation of a tribunal that could discipline journalists, with powers to punish that have not yet been spelled out.

Relations between the ANC and the media long have been tense. Last week one of the country's most prominent newspapers, the Mail & Guardian, said it had been unable to publish details about corruption allegations against Mac Maharaj, who was imprisoned on Robben Island alongside Mandela for his anti-apartheid activities and who recently took on the job of presidential spokesman, because of threats of criminal prosecution. Maharaj later announced he was asking police to investigate whether the paper and its journalists had broken the law in their reporting.

Doctors: 3 killed in assault on protesters (AP)

CAIRO ? Egyptian doctors say three people have been killed in a police and army assault to evict protesters at Cairo's central Tahrir Square.

The assault came on the second of two days of clashes between Egyptian security and protesters calling on the ruling military to quickly announce a date for the transfer of power to a civilian administration.

Mahmoud Said, a doctor at the nearby Munira hospital, said the bodies of two men were brought to the hospital on Sunday evening, while Mohammed Qenawy, a doctor at one of two field hospitals in the square, said a male protester in his early 20s also was killed.

The military took over when longtime authoritarian leader Hosni Mubarak was ousted by a popular uprising in February.

Bob Seger never forgets his place in rock music (Reuters)

NASHVILLE, Tenn (Reuters) ? When baby boomers listen to Bob Seger's new release, "Ultimate Hits: Rock and Roll Never Forgets," they may find themselves hearing the soundtrack of their lives.

Classic Seger tunes like "Night Moves," "Old Time Rock and Roll," "We've Got Tonight" and "Tryin' to Live My Life Without You," may trigger flashbacks because the hits received so much radio airplay in the 1970s and '80s.

Seger, 66, said he is flattered by his imprint on the collective pop rock memory, and he never tires of performing the old hits.

"I realized that my music was having an impact when I saw how much airplay we've been getting down through the years," Seger told Reuters.

"I've been very fortunate in that regard. You get airplay when people request the songs," he said. "When I first started out in the bars, back in 1962-1963, people wanted to hear 'My Funny Valentine,' they wanted to hear 'Stardust,' wanted to hear the classics. In a funny way, now 'Against the Wind' is a classic, and it's very flattering to me."

Seger's new release, due out November 21, marks the first time all of his major hits have been packaged together. The two-CD collection features 26 tracks, including his most recent hit singles, "Downtown Train" and "Hey Hey Hey Hey (Going Back to Birmingham)."

The singer-songwriter is playing those hits in sold-out shows on his current cross-country tour.

After 50 years on the road, "I think I enjoy being with the people I play with," he said. "I enjoy their company and I like the crew and band. We move through the country like an army."

And the Detroit native said he does not get bored performing his 20- to 30-year-old hits over and over again.

"I still connect with those original emotions of 'Beautiful Loser,' which was inspired because I was a Leonard Cohen fan. Or 'Night Moves,' which was written in 1961 when I was in high school and is about what my friends and I were doing in that period of my life."

The sentiments expressed in "Turn The Page" has made it a fan favorite and an anthem for other performers, he said.

"I had no idea that would happen," Seger said with a laugh. "I thought it was a little folk song, kind of personal, and I loved the way (saxophonist) Alto (Reed) played horn on it. I loved that it was between major and minor (chords), kind of a grey tuning. I just enjoyed the song, but I had no idea it would turn out to be as big as it was."

UP NEXT

Seger's thoughts have already turned to his next effort, for which he has written a few songs.

"I think I'm gonna write more after the first of the year until end of March. I am looking forward to that three-month period of pure writing," he said.

"One (song) is called 'Ride Out,' and it might be the title song. It covers so many subjects I don't know how to pick one; you'll just have to hear it.

"Another one, 'Wonderland,' is very esoteric. I don't know how to describe it, either. I'm trying to write stuff that's different.

"I'm a big science fan and 'Wonderland' has some science in it," he said, reciting the first few lines: "'I'm living in a wonderland, floating on a sea bubble on a beach, waiting there for me.' It's talking about the multiverse, where we could live in a series of many universes.

"We're living in a wonderland age of science right now, with recent discoveries indicating there might be water flowing on Mars and life underneath that ice. They recently watched through the Hubble (orbiting telescope) while a black hole ate a star. It's pretty incredible."

Seger has not changed his methods over the years, and appreciates when people tell him he writes for the average person on the street.

"I've been told that many times, absolutely, and I believe that you strive as a lyricist to say something that is universally true. If you can say that a couple times, or even once, in a song, then someone in the audience is going to identify with it, and that is my goal."

Ravens edge Bengals, are in 1st

Flacco throws 2 TD passes, Baltimore defense stymies Cincy at 7-yard line to end it

By DAVID GINSBURG

updated 6:50 p.m. ET Nov. 20, 2011

BALTIMORE - An uncharacteristic performance by the Baltimore Ravens defense was offset by an uncommonly effective outing by Joe Flacco and the team's oft-criticized offense.

Flacco threw for 270 yards and two touchdowns, rookie Torrey Smith had six catches for 165 yards, and Baltimore moved into first place in the AFC North with a nerve-racking 31-24 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.

Playing without middle linebacker Ray Lewis for the first time in 58 games, the Ravens (7-3) nearly blew a 17-point lead in the final 14 minutes, yielded 483 yards and let rookie quarterback Andy Dalton throw for 373.

But Baltimore got 104 yards rushing and two touchdowns from Ray Rice, and the defense made big plays when it counted most. After Rice was stuffed on a third-and-1 with just over two minutes left, he remained confident.

"I just looked at the clock and I said, `Our defense will get it done,"' he recalled. "That's the faith I have in our guys."

Even without Lewis, who watched from the sideline after being placed on the inactive list with a toe injury. The Ravens' spiritual leader and leading tackler saw his unit pick off three passes and turn in a game-saving goal-line stand in the final minute.

Down 31-24, Cincinnati reached the Baltimore 7 before Terrell Suggs collared Dalton, who was called for intentional grounding. On fourth-and-goal, Dalton was sacked by Pernell McPhee.

The Bengals (6-4) needed seven points because on the previous series, an apparent 9-yard touchdown pass from Dalton to Jermaine Gresham was overturned by a replay that determined the receiver didn't hold onto the ball at the end of a juggling catch. The Bengals settled for a field goal with 5:32 remaining.

"When the receiver went to the ground, he had the ball in his right hand," referee Ron Winter said. "The ball touched the ground and his hand came off the ball."

Baltimore is locked in a first-place tie with Pittsburgh in the AFC North, but the Ravens own the tiebreaker by virtue of their two wins over the Steelers.

"No. 1 in the division, that's huge," Suggs said. "Now we're the master of our destiny."

Even though it wasn't a banner day for the defense, the three interceptions set up two touchdowns.

"Whenever we can get turnovers, it definitely makes everybody's job easier," cornerback Cary Williams said. "It's just being able to capitalize on opportunities, and we did that today."

Dalton went 24 for 45 with a touchdown. Cincinnati was without standout rookie wide receiver A.J. Green, who hurt his right knee a week earlier in a loss to Pittsburgh.

But the Bengals gave Baltimore all it could handle.

"We've won six games to this point and we'll win some more," coach Marvin Lewis said. "We've just got to circle the wagons, lick our wounds and go."

One week earlier, the Bengals came up short in rallying from a 14-0 deficit against Pittsburgh. It was more of the same against the Ravens.

"It comes down to the fourth quarter. That's how every game's been for us," Dalton said. "We've got to start faster. We can't wait around until the end of the game to pick it up, come out and get back in it. It's definitely going to be a focus for us."

Baltimore took a 24-14 lead on a 2-yard run by Rice late in the third quarter. The score came after Ravens rookie cornerback Jimmy Smith picked off a pass and returned it 16 yards before fumbling. The loose ball was recovered at the Cincinnati 2 by teammate Brendon Ayanbadejo in a pile that included Winter.

The Bengals' following possession ended with an interception by Lardarius Webb. On the next play, Torrey Smith split the Bengals' two-deep zone and caught a 38-yard touchdown pass in the back of the end zone to make it 31-14.

The Bengals responded with a five-play, 80-yard drive capped by a 49-yard touchdown pass from Dalton to Andre Caldwell, who slipped behind Jimmy Smith down the right sideline.

But the Ravens held on, rebounding after a 22-17 loss at Seattle last week. Baltimore has won 12 straight following a defeat.

"It's good to bounce back," Suggs said, "but let's not take any more steps back."

The Bengals punted six times in the first half, two short of their season high for an entire game. Cincinnati's offense managed only 143 yards before halftime, 47 of those on one play.

On the Bengals' second possession, wide receiver Jerome Simpson made a juggling catch for a 47-yard gain to set up a 7-yard touchdown run by Cedric Benson.

The Ravens didn't get past midfield until early in the second quarter, following a 15-yard punt by Kevin Huber. Starting at its 45, Baltimore picked up a first down before Flacco tossed a short pass to Anquan Boldin, who ran the final 20 yards for a 35-yard touchdown.

NOTES: Former Ravens kicker Matt Stover was inducted into the team's Ring of Honor during a halftime ceremony. ... Ravens LB Jarret Johnson made his 74th consecutive start, breaking the franchise record previously held by Michael McCrary and Jamie Sharper. ... Baltimore has won seven straight at home and 15 of 16.

Google Music: Fast syncing, free songs

Google

Screenshot of recently played music, using album art, on Google Music

By Athima Chansanchai

With the unveiling of its new online music store Wednesday, Google upped the ante in its ongoing battle against Apple and Amazon's cloud-based music services, but it still has some minor kinks that prevent it from that instant wow factor.

For instance, I've been using on Music Beta by Google for awhile now, which was previously only available by invitation starting this past summer. It's been decent, especially in being able to sync between the desktop player and the Music app on my Android phone. There was also a lot of free music, although much of it was so-so, but some stood out: "Champagne supernova" by Oasis, "Brick" by Ben Folds Five and "Gravity rides everything" by Modest Mouse.

In its newest iteration, Google Music offered some new free music, which I grabbed immediately: "I don't want to know," by The Swell Season. While it showed up immediately in the desktop version, I waited for about a half hour for it to show up on my phone, and only after I had downloaded the 4.0.9 update that came out yesterday.?

Google

The checkout screen of Google Music, once you've added a song

I'm guessing the lag time can be attributed to having to install the newest version and processing that, because?once installed, subsequent additions kicked in super fast. I "bought" the free song, "Palomino" by Mates of State and within a minute later, it was on my phone. Hubba, hubba! I could get used to this. Now, I can see the wow.

Here's Google's intro to its Music app, which you can find on Android Market for free:

Another perk for friends: if you share the purchase?? or in my case, the free additions?? then anyone you share it with on Google+ will be able to listen to it for free too, once.?

Markets remain volatile in face of euro debt fears (AP)

LONDON ? Financial markets remained volatile on Friday in the face of a European debt crisis that has widened and deepened over the past week.

Investors have become increasingly fidgety about the prospect of Spain and Italy succumbing to the same bond market pressures that have seen three countries bailed out. Stocks have taken a battering as borrowing rates jumped, not just for Spain and Italy but also traditionally strong countries like France.

The turmoil in the markets has already prompted change in governments in Italy and Greece, while Spain is likely to install a new administration on Sunday. The governing Socialists are expected to suffer a big defeat to the opposition Conservatives.

Some of the pressure on Italy and Spain has eased through the week thanks to suspected buying of their government bonds by the European Central Bank. Analysts expect figures on Monday to show that the ECB, now led by Italian Mario Draghi, stepped up its money purchases this week, in effect to give politicians more time to get a grip on the mounting crisis. By buying their bonds, the ECB is hoping to keep a lid on their borrowing rates.

Italy's key bond yield has hovered around the psychologically important 7 percent mark for the best part of two weeks, while Spain's ratcheted higher this week after a disappointing bond auction which saw the country pay its highest rate of interest since 1997 to raise money from capital markets.

"Given reports of aggressive buying both towards the end of last week and yesterday, we would think it safe to assume the ECB now holds euro90 billion to euro100 billion of Italian bonds on its books," said Gary Jenkins, an analyst at Evolution Securities.

The ECB's bond-buying program, which is limited and has to be offset with the sale of assets elsewhere so that the money supply in the eurozone doesn't increase, has been hugely controversial. British Prime Minister David Cameron is expected to recommend that the ECB step up its purchases ? in effect to use its potentially unlimited firepower by printing new money ? when meeting German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin.

Germany, though, has been a critic of such a change in policy, arguing that the ECB hasn't the mandate to bail out governments and that printing new money potentially fuels inflation.

Many in the markets think the ECB's policy has to be cleared up soon if the crisis is to come under some sort of control.

"Without a change in the ECB's remit market participants will constantly question both the bank's willingness and its ability to continue intervening in markets and this reduces the effectiveness of the interventions," Jenkins said.

For now, there appears to be some calm in the bond markets, with Italy's ten-year yield up a tiny amount to 6.72 percent ? crucially below the 7 percent rate which eventually forced Greece, Ireland and Portugal into seeking bailouts. Spain's yield was also a little lower, at 6.35 percent.

The euro was trading 0.4 percent higher at $1.3513.

Stocks, while avoiding a rout, were lower across Europe. Germany's DAX was down 0.5 percent at 5,821 while the CAC-40 in France fell 0.3 percent to 3,001. The FTSE 100 index of leading British shares was 1 percent lower at 5,370.

Wall Street was poised for a modestly higher open ? Dow futures were up 0.3 percent at 11,768 while the broader S&P 500 futures rose 0.4 percent to 1,219.

Earlier in Asia, South Korea's Kospi tumbled 2 percent to 1,839.17 while Hong Kong's Hang Seng dropped 1.7 percent to 18,491.23. Japan's Nikkei 225 index slid 1.2 percent to 8,374.91.

In mainland China, the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index fell 1.9 percent to 2,416.56, its lowest close in almost a month. The smaller Shenzhen Composite Index lost 2.7 percent to 1,031.54.

A Chinese government report showed new house prices in October fell in more than half of 70 cities measured from the month before, stoking fears about the country's once-buoyant housing market.

China says credit and investment curbs imposed to cool its real estate boom will stay in place. The measures appear to have worked in tamping down property prices, but have also slowed the real estate and construction industries, which account for about 10 percent of China's economic output.

Oil prices spiked higher towards $100 a barrel ? benchmark crude for December delivery was up 42 cents at $99.24 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Tough questions on auto insurance fraud legislation | House Keys ...

Despite support from Florida?s top leaders for new laws to fight automobile insurance fraud, the proposals faced intense scrutiny at House and Senate insurance committee meetings today.

Several Senators demanded insurers and others provide better data and Democrats at the House insurance meeting had tough questions about a bill the committee is drafting.

Some insurance representatives couldn?t answer questions related to claims and lawsuits from Sen. Joe Negron, R-Stuart, who is drafting the Senate bill, because they said it could violate anti-trust laws.

Sen. Mike Bennett, R-Bradenton, suggested putting people under oath, saying that?s what the state did during the second week of hearings on medical malpractice. He said that?s when the answers changed. ?It?s very embarrassing that the insurance industry would stand up there? and say there aren?t figures available, he said. ?They are number freaks.?

Sen. Chris Smith, D-Fort Lauderdale, asked the insurers, health care providers and attorneys on both sides of the fence on PIP legislation to create reports with detailed figures to back up their points. ?We get a lot of anecdotal testimony,? he said.

Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater urged lawmakers to approve legislation based on policyholders' "painful" stories about auto insurance rates, but he said they should demand concrete data from groups involved in the debate and require savings from the law to be passed to consumers. He said if the companies don't, they should have to testify at public hearings about why.

Rep. Mack Bernard, D-West Palm Beach, asked how much rates are expected to decrease if there's reform and was told that the information isn?t available.

?I feel very worried about that?when you tell me you can?t provide that,? said Rep. Janet Cruz, D-Tampa, who noted that supporters of PIP reform are quick to estimate how much it costs policyholders.

A Farmers Insurance representative described a set of policyholders filing claims and said only three percent asked for lost wages, an indication that claims payouts aren't going to them directly: "Policyholders are not claiming the [the money] due to them because providers are claiming the benefit."

Other questions raised by legislators include:

What?s the definition of a ?suspicious? claim? The legislation extends the time insurer have to pay claims if they are suspicious. Cruz said lawmakers should define it or else ?we?re going to see an industry that defines everything as suspicious.?

Rep. Jim Boyd, R-Bradenton, who is sponsoring a PIP bill and is helping with the committee?s bill, said he believes the data would show that insurers don?t investigate most claims. ?Most insurance companies want to pay claims fairly and quickly. To do anything else costs them money? and time. He added that consumers can get help from state regulators if an insurer is unfairly delaying, denying or lowballing a claim.

A hospital representative told the Senate panel that large insurers pay almost every claim it submits ? but only after they?re threatened with a possible lawsuit.

Would insurers? claims costs outpace premiums if you excluded overhead costs? Monte Stevens, a legislative director with the Office of Insurance Regulation, answered Rep. Richard Steinberg?s question: The costs equal premiums coming in if you exclude administrative expenses.

Would the legislation cap fees for insurers? attorneys in addition to those of policyholders?? No, Boyd said, prompting Steinberg, a Democrat from Miami Beach, to ask: ?Why would it be appropriate for us to limit the fees on one side and not on the other??

Boyd said most insurers have lawyers on staff that help with a variety of legal issues so the cost is ?embedded in their cost of doing business.?

Have any of the top ten auto insurance providers gone out of business the past ten years? Bernard asked.

Stevens said he?s not aware of any.

Keystone pipeline builder proposes changing Nebraska route

Reporting from Seattle?

The builders of the controversial Keystone XL tar sands pipeline agreed Monday to reroute it around Nebraska's ecologically fragile Sandhills in the hope the move would shorten any delay in the project, which has posed political complications for the Obama administration.

TransCanada Corp.'s agreement to skirt the porous, watery region atop the nation's most important agricultural aquifer was celebrated by Nebraska ranchers and conservationists who have battled the pipeline.

But it posed a new dilemma for environmentalists, who had hoped to scuttle the project because of concerns about climate change, air pollution and the potential for leaks along the 1,700-mile route.

For the Obama administration, Keystone XL has been a nightmare, pitting against one another two bedrocks of support: environmentalists, who are dead set against any version of the pipeline; and organized labor, which came out by the thousands at recent public hearings across the country to support it and the jobs it would bring.

The State Department is empowered to approve or reject the project because it would originate in Canada. A decision had been expected by the end of the year but was effectively put off until after the November 2012 election when the State Department announced last week that it would study alternative routes in Nebraska.

TransCanada upped the ante Monday by splitting environmentalists, at least in the Midwest, and chipping away at Republican opposition that had surfaced in Nebraska. A letter from a State Department official to Nebraska legislators appeared to signal support for a state role in the rerouting decision, but it did not guarantee it would support any particular relocation proposal.

The announcement came during a special session of the Nebraska Legislature and won immediate support from many lawmakers. They have said they welcome the pipeline project's potential for jobs and new energy supplies but oppose any attempt to build it through a region where groundwater often lies inches below the surface.

Under the agreement with TransCanada, the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality will join federal officials in preparing a supplemental environmental impact statement to study an alternative route around the Sandhills.

The $7-billion project would carry diluted bitumen extracted from the tar sands of central Alberta to refineries in the Midwest and the Texas Gulf Coast, picking up supplies of U.S.-produced crude from Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota along the way.

Opponents say tar sands extraction has one of the heaviest carbon footprints of any kind of oil production and have urged U.S. officials not to open the door to new Canadian extraction and export of tar sands oil. But supporters see the pipeline as a route to expanded new energy supplies from a reliable U.S. ally and, for U.S. refineries, a potential replacement for dwindling heavy crude supplies from producers such as Venezuela and Mexico.

Alex Pourbaix, president of TransCanada's energy and oil pipelines division, said company officials believed the decision to reroute the pipeline should shorten the time the State Department needs for its review of an international permit, which would be issued once the department determined the pipeline was in the national interest.

"As I understand the concern of the State Department, in listening in on their press conference last week, they indicated that the reason for the delay was the concern that was raised by Nebraskans with respect to the route, and particularly the Sandhills. We have now reached an agreement with ? the Nebraska Legislature that we are going to reroute the pipeline around the Sandhills," Pourbaix said in an interview.

"I would hope this would give the State Department reason to consider shortening that time frame."

He said the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality had indicated it could complete a review of an alternative route within six months. "Certainly if everyone is able to get that worked on sooner than 15 to 18 months, it would seem natural that people would want to move quicker on that decision," he said.

TransCanada officials made it clear they were not proposing a major route change. Most of the alternative routes studied in the initial environmental review would cost $500,000 to $1.7 billion more and could create different environmental problems by increasing the number of streams and other sensitive areas crossed, according to the environmental impact study and TransCanada.

Assistant Secretary of State Kerri-Ann Jones sent a letter assuring Nebraska legislators that state regulators would be able to work "cooperatively" with the federal government in developing the alternative route studies.

Nebraska ranchers who feared the possibility that a pipeline leak could quickly pollute the Ogallala aquifer, which underlies several states, were jubilant at Monday's announcement. Most have said they would not oppose routing the pipeline farther east in an area that still overlays the aquifer but provides a barrier of perhaps 200 feet of clay soil rather than the thin, porous sand and wetlands in the Sandhills.

"We don't have to worry about it anymore," rancher Todd Cone said after the announcement by Sen. Mike Flood, speaker of the Legislature.

"This was a huge victory today," said Jane Kleeb, director of Bold Nebraska, which has organized the fight in the state against the pipeline.

But she said activists planned to urge the federal government to reject the pipeline no matter where it goes.

"This is kind of their last Hail Mary to get their project approved. This is not them finally coming to their senses," Kleeb said of TransCanada's announcement. "On the federal level, we are still standing shoulder to shoulder with those who do not want to see a permit for this pipeline approved."

National groups that have organized public protests in Washington against the pipeline were likewise suspicious.

"A few weeks ago, [TransCanada] said the only route they could possibly do is through the Sandhills, and now they're proposing a reroute," Daniel Kessler of Tar Sands Action, one of the groups opposing the project, said in an interview.

"It's great that the aquifer is going to be protected, but the climate is not going to be protected because of a reroute."

Fitch concerned over U.S. banks' European debt exposure (Reuters)

(Reuters) ? Fitch Ratings warned that it may reduce its "stable" rating outlook for U.S. banks with large capital markets businesses because of contagion from problems in troubled European markets.

"Unless the Eurozone debt crisis is resolved in a timely and orderly manner, the broad outlook for U.S. banks will darken," Fitch said. "The risks of a negative shock are rising."

The warning was aimed at the entire U.S. banking sector but sent the shares of Goldman Sachs Group (GS.N) down 4.2 percent for the day and clipped 8 percent from the market value of Morgan Stanley (MS.N).

On October 13, Fitch placed debt ratings of seven global banks with large trading operations on negative watch. Besides Goldman and Morgan Stanley, the group includes European companies Barclays Bank Plc (BARC.L), BNP Paribas (BNPP.PA), Credit Suisse (CSGN.VX), Deutsche Bank (DBKGn.DE)and Societe Generale (SOGN.PA).

U.S. banks have increased their trading operations in Europe in the past several years, while reducing their traditional lending operations, said Christopher Wolfe, one of the Fitch analysts who wrote the report. A lingering debt problem could affect bank's capital market revenue since about one-third of it comes from European counterparties, he said.

Contagion from Europe also could impact the banks' access to funding, he said.

U.S. banks appear to have managed their exposure to the most troubled "peripheral" European nations such as Greece and Ireland, said Joseph Scott, another author of the Fitch report, but Fitch fears that the problems now spreading to Italy could reach further into larger nations such as France and Germany where the U.S. banks are more exposed.

"Our concern is with counterparty risk, the impact of Europe on global economic growth and how that weighs on the economic recovery in the U.S.," said Joseph Scott, one of the analysts who wrote the Fitch report.

The analysts don't expect a resolution of the issues for another 12 months or so, and are unlikely to adjust their outlook on the sector quickly. "This is going to have a prolonged and uncertain income," Scott said.

U.S. banks haven't clearly disclosed the extent of their holdings of European sovereign debt or their trading positions with European counterparties, but have been reducing their direct exposure for well over a year, the report said. While net exposure appears manageable, the analysts expressed concern over the efficacy of hedges through credit default swaps.

On September 21, Moody's Investors Service lowered debt ratings for Bank of America Corp (BAC.N), Citigroup Inc (C.N)and Wells Fargo & Co (WFC.N) on concerns that the U.S. government has become reluctant to bail out large troubled lenders. Its outlook on the bank ratings remains negative. (Reporting by Jed Horowitz, editing by Bernard Orr)

Five Favorite Films (Plus Four More!) with Joshua Leonard

It's hard to make a list like this, because invariably my first thought is "What's gonna make me sound cool?" Using this method, I'd have to include at least one obscure Romanian silent film from the 30s that no one but Leonard Maltin and Quentin Tarantino had ever heard of.

If, on the other hand, I were to tell you about the films that have had the greatest personal impact me (a white kid from the suburbs who grew up in the 80s and 90s), it would be as follows.

Oh, John Hughes...(sigh). A producer friend of mine was recently talking about his teenage daughter and said "You know, the problem is, she's never seen a real film because they don't make real movies for kids anymore."

Looking back at The Breakfast Club (which I must've watched 40 times by the time I was in the 6th grade), Sixteen Candles, St. Elmos Fire, et al -- these were real movies. And Jesus, could we relate to them. Many still hold up -- if you can ignore the acid-wash and the hair mousse.

Dirty and loud, this film put a face to the music that represented the ultimate freedom from the suburbs. Pre-YouTube, footage of these bands was super hard to come by. There were only a couple videotapes floating around...and once in a while, you could see something truly outr? on "120 Minutes"...but in truth, if you weren't in LA/NY/DC, you missed out on most of the scene.

Like water to the desert, Penelope Spheeris's film brought the culture into our lives. And shortly thereafter, I had myself a hideous painted leather jacket -- just like Darby Crash.

Trust (Hal Hartley, 1990; 82% Tomatometer)

Trust was one of the first American indies that I ever saw...and it blew my mind. My experience of movies up until that point had taken place in a multi-plex. The fare was entertaining, sure, but I never felt like there was a place for me in it.

Hartley's film and the early 90s changed all of that. It seemed like a whole new art form. I didn't even realize that you could make a film like this! The characters were smart and seductive, and they hurt and loved in ways I recognized. Martin Donovan, Bill Sage, Adrienne Shelly -- they were my Band of Outsiders.

Hal Ashby: Often copied, never matched. The last 10 minutes of this movie might be my favorite piece of film on the planet. It breaks my heart to think that a film so weird and perfect might never be made again...or, if it was made, could vanish without a whisper, buckling under the weight of another billboard for Transformers 16.

Nashville (Robert Altman, 1975; 95% Tomatometer)

Altman! Pound for pound probably my favorite filmmaker. I'm deeply in love with Short Cuts as well, but Nashville was my first...and you never forget your first.

The world, the performances, the music -- all seamless. Altman had a way of saying things without ever showing his hand. His world washes over you -- and as it does, your heart fills to bursting.

Hearts of Darkness is my go-to film when I'm feeling beaten or depressed.

Everyone knows that Apocalypse Now wis a masterpiece, but it was watching the intimate, behind-the-scene details that truly inspired me. The madness, vision and obstacles that came together to create this film were of Quixote-esque proportions.

My favorite of PT's films...and one that I will watch any time of day or night, should I come across it on cable.

Who will ever forget the Sister Christian firecracker scene? Or Julianne Moore and Heather Graham gacked out on blow talking about family? Or Seymour Hoffman?s short-shorts!? Truly iconic.

I owe a huge debt to my friends Mark and Jay Duplass for making a film that inspired much of the current chapter of my career. Puffy Chair is Gen X Cassavetes at its best.

When I saw this film for the first time, I was both moved and a little creeped out -- because there were long strings of dialogue that I had literally voiced verbatim in my own life. Mark, Jay, Katie and Rhett captured the pitch-perfect vernacular for our generation.

I only hesitate to put this film on the list because it's so fresh in my mind. But, sitting in a crowded theater, surrounded by haters, I had one of the most personal and profound movie watching experiences of my entire life.

As most folks know, this is one of those films that you either "go with" or you don't -- and I was on the bus from the first frame. Somehow, by the end of this seeming non-sequitur of a film, a deep-buried trove of emotions had unlocked inside of me. I don't think I stopped crying for the last 30 minutes.
