I always thought Roberto Luongo was Canadian. Did he not win the gold medal for Canada? I know he won a gold medal and I don't ever recall the Italian hockey team winning gold.

You don't remember that great shot by Samuele Crosby?

A British newspaper says Carnival Cruise Lines, owner of the Costa Concordia, is planning to offer survivors of the Italian cruise ship disaster compensation of 30% off their next cruise, as long as they book within 18 months.
My sister just got back from a 2 week cruise in the Caribbean and there was an incident with the ship she was on too.
It was also a ship from the Carnival line, the Liberty, a sister ship to the Concordia. The ship listed 20 degrees and then lurched back and uprighted itself again. My sister was up on a deck, having some breakfast by a pool. All the dishes, chairs etc suddenly lurched one way and then when the ship uprighted itself, it went the other way first, and water even emptied out of the pool, and got into the stairwells etc.
They were not really given any explanation at the time. There was a public announcement made that went everywhere on the ship, saying it was some malfunction that was now under control.
The rest of the cruise went without incident. However, my sister got to know one steward and he told her and her group, "malfunction my arse, we almost hit a sandbar close to the coast of Cuba."
Passengers on the Concordia are now being offered $14000 for the ordeal though lawyers for consumer groups are urging them not to accept the paltry compensation. http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/01...ip-passengers/

Each passenger would also receive a refund on the cost of the cruise itself, and for their return home. The offer applies to all passengers, whether a child or an adult, who suffered no physical injuries. Injured passengers will be dealt with individually.
For the majority of the passengers, walking away with a full refund, a free flight home, and an additional $15,000 is a pretty good deal. I have no doubt that it was a stressful and terrifying event, but that should be more than enough compensation for escaping without injury. The American lawyers telling people to reject the offer and file individual law suits in the states is just typical of the greasy broken 'sue for everything' attitude that I hate.

Right, because the cruise line that employed a captain who repeatedly did things that put passengers in harms way should really be let off the hook here.
