Airline Industry: EgyptAir flight from Paris feared to have crashed into Mediterranean
Egypt’s foreign ministry has exchanged condolences with France over
what it called the “fall” of an EgyptAir flight carrying 66 people from
Paris to Cairo.
The statement was the first official admission that those on board were likely to have died.
The plane was carrying people from multiple nationalities including 30 Egyptians and 15 French nationals.
EgyptAir flight MS804 departed Paris’s Charles de Gaule airport at 23.09 heading for Cairo disappeared from radar.
There is some confusion over whether the missing plane sent a distress signal that was picked up by the Egyptian military.
EgyptAir said in a statement earlier that a signal had been received by the army more than an hour after the plane was due to land. The army denied in a statement receiving any message.
The aircraft “crashed” off the Greek island of Karpathos in Egyptian airspace, reports AFP citing an airport source.

Christmas: The Toys That Send Kids to the Emergency Room - by Brian Resnick
The Razor was the first hit toy of the new millennium. In 2000, Razor sold
5 million scooters in just six months, and they were everywhere. On
long-shadowed schoolyard evenings, all the cool kids would take turns on
the scooters, testing out tricks and making skid marks on the pavement.
Land a hella tight ollie, and you were a playground hero.
Here's a statistic to pop that nostalgia bubble: Razor scooters and other "ride-on" toys sent 110,000 kids to the hospital in 2001, according to a new report in the journal Clinical Pediatrics. In 1999, that number was 25,000—a jump as extreme as any trick you could land on a Razor.
According to the paper—a comprehensive crunch of 20 years of hospital data—149,000 kids go to the hospital every year for toy-related injuries. "On average in 2011," the paper states, "a child received treatment in a U.S. ED [Emergency Department] for a toy-related injury every three minutes."
By far, the most dangerous toy category in the analysis were ride-on toys like scooters, wagons, and electric-powered mini-cars (e.g., one of these bad boys you always coveted).

Insurance Industry: Drivers should spend a year as learners, insurers in Britain say
The Association of British Insurers says a minimum 12-month learning period would enable young drivers to gain more supervised practice.
Novice drivers should be subject to restrictions on night time driving and a reduced drink driving limit, according to the Association of British Insurers.
It also recommended learners spend at least a year displaying their L-plates before being allowed to take a driving test, although young people could start learning six months earlier than the current age limit of 17.
The minimum 12-month learning period would allow young drivers to gain more supervised practice, the ABI said, as it called for graduated driver licensing for the first six months after passing a driving test.
This would include restrictions on the number of young passengers that can be carried by a newly qualified driver, restrictions on driving between 11pm and 4am, and no blood alcohol content.
