Carnival Corporation launches safety review After accident, procedures called into question MIAMI (AP) - Carnival Corp., the parent company of Costa Cruises, announced yes- terday a comprehensive audit and review of all safety and emergency response procedures across all 10 of the company's cruise lines. Carnival Chairman and CEO Micky Arison said in a news release that last week's accident of the Costa Concordia in Italy has called into question the com- pany's safety and emergency response procedures and prac- tices. The Costa Concordia capsized off the Tuscan island of Giglio on If you suffer from anxiety attacks and are 18-45, non-pregnant and medication free (no birth control pills), you may qualify to participate in a U of M research proect.

At least 11 people were killed and 21 are missing. "While I have every confi- dence in the safety of our vessels and the professionalism of our crews, this review will evaluate all practices and procedures to make sure that this kind of acci- dent doesn't happen again," Ari- son said. The review is being led by retired U.S. Navy Capt. James Hunn, who currently is the com- pany's senior vice president of Maritime Policy & Compliance. Muon and executives from each of the corporation's subsid- iary cruise lines will review all safety policies, employee train- ing, bridge management and response and support efforts. Carnival reported that it also is engaging outside experts to audit of all of the company's emergency response and safety procedures. The outside experts will also conduct a review of the Costa Concordia accident. "This company-wide initia- tive will identify lessons learned and best practices to further ensure the security and safety of all of our passengers and crew," chief operations officer Howard Frank said. Earlier yesterday, Cruise Line International Association Presi- dent and CEO Christine Duffy called on the International Mar- itime Organization to undertake a comprehensive evaluation from the findings of the Costa Concordia investigation to ensure the cruising industry remains safe. "While there is still a great deal not yet known about this incident, all of our members rec- ognize the seriousness of these events and want to ensure that we apply the lessons learned from this tragic event," Duffy said in London. Carnival's said in the news release that it welcomes such an evaluation. Rupert Murdoch and his wife Wendi arrive at the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards last Sunday in Los Angeles. Murdoch to pay Jude Law, 36 others for illegal eavesdropping " Settlements give vindication to accusations LONDON (AP) - Rupert Mur- doch's media empire apologized and agreed to cash payouts yes- terday to 37 people - including a movie star, a soccer player, a top British politician and the son of a serial killer - who were harassed and phone-hacked by his tabloid press. The four - Jude Law, Ashley Cole, John Prescott and Chris Shipman - were among three dozen victims who received financial damages from Mur- doch's British newspaper compa- ny for illegal eavesdropping and other intrusions, including email snooping. Lawyers for the claimants said the settlements vindicated their accusation that senior Murdoch executives had long known about the scale of illegal phone hacking and had tried to cover it up. News International, the par- ent company of Murdoch's News Group Newspapers, said it did not admit that senior staff knew of the wrongdoing and tried to cover it up - but it said that "for the purpose of reaching these settlements only, News Group Newspapers agreed that the damages to be paid to claimants should be assessed as if this was the case." Financial details of 15 of the payouts, totaling more than 640,000 pounds (about $1 mil- lion), were made public at a court hearing yesterday. The amounts generally ran into the tens of thou- sands of pounds - although Law received 130,000 pounds (about $200,000), plus legal costs, to set- tle claims against the now-shut- tered News of the World tabloid and its sister tabloid, The Sun. Law was one of 60 people who have sued News Group News- papers, claiming their mobile phone voicemails were hacked. Others whose settlements were announced yesterday at London's High Court included former gov- ernment ministers Chris Bryant and Tessa Jowell, rugby player Gavin Henson, Princess Diana's former lover James Hewitt, singer Dannii Minogue and Sara Payne, the mother of a murdered girl. It was the largest group of settlements announced yet in the long-running hacking scan- dal, which has shaken Murdoch's global empire, spurred the resig- nations of several of his top exec- utives and reverberated through Britain's political, police and media elite. Law, the star of "Sherlock Holmes" and "The Talented Mr. Ripley," said he was "truly appalled" at the scale of surveil- lance and privacy invasion that his case had exposed. "No aspect of my private life was safe from intrusion by News Group Newspapers, including the lives of my children and the peo- ple who work for me," he said in a statement. "It was not just that my phone messages were listened to. News Group also paid people to watch me and my house for days at a time and to follow me and those close to me, both inthis country and abroad." News Group Newspapers admitted that 16 articles about Law published in the News of the World between 2003 and 2006 had been obtainedby phone hacking, and that the actor had also been placed under "repeated and sustained physical surveil- lance." The company also admit- ted that articles in The Sun had misused Law's private informa- tion - although it didn't go as far as to admit hacking by that paper. Law said Murdoch's tabloids had been "prepared to do any- thing to sell their newspapers 0 and to make money, irrespective of the impact it had on people's lives." 4-
