Orlando, Fla. -- A Florida judge has dismissed a negligence claim by a New Hampshire couple whose son witnessed a killer whale drown a trainer at SeaWorld.
Suzanne and Todd Connell say their young son Bobby has been bothered by nightmares since witnessing the Feb. 24 death of SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau, the Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel reported.
The couple sued SeaWorld for negligence and damages from emotional trauma, but Friday Orange County Circuit Court Judge Julie O'Kane dismissed a count of negligent infliction of emotional distress.
She reserved judgment on a second count in the suit, intentional infliction of emotional distress.
SeaWorld's vice president of communications said the company is "gratified" with the ruling.

Milwaukee -- Employees who telecommute avoid distracting and stressful aspects of the workplace and as a result have decreased work-life conflict, U.S. researchers say.
Kathryn Fonner of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Michael Roloff of Northwestern University say workers who telework at least three days a week benefit from the flexible work arrangement to accommodate family life -- while alienation from workplace communication, often cited as the biggest telecommuting disadvantage, was minimal, the study's participants said.
Teleworkers say they exchanged information with co-workers less frequently than those in the office, but both groups had similar timely
access to work-related information, the researchers found.

Understanding what lies beneath a company's reported revenue is a key to finding winning or losing stock ideas. Many investors screen on metrics like Net Income or related measurements such as EBIT, EBITDA, or Operating Cash Flow. Revenue, profitability, and cash flow growth equals opportunity, right? Not necessarily. Companies know that Wall Street is closely monitoring these factors, and do their level best to provide a "good story" for investors.

Halifax, Nova Scotia -- A Canadian Anglican reverend is asking parishioners to bring in their cellphones and other technological gadgets to receive a special blessing.
Rev. Lisa Vaughn of the Anglican parish of St. Timothy, near Halifax, Nova Scotia, said the gadget blessing is a means of attracting more people to church amid a nationwide decline in attendance, the Globe and Mail reported Thursday.
"It's not just about please don't let my cellphone drop calls today," Vaughn said of the blessing. "It's about, you know, help me to be the best Christian, the best person I can be in my conversations, in my communication."
Vaughn said her approach to leading the church can be summarized as: "Don't be boring."

Perth, Australia -- Globalization has many firms expanding abroad but this may require different management styles and modes of communication, U.S. and Australian researchers say.
Cristina B. Gibson of the University of Western Australia and Dana M. McDaniel of the University of California, Irvine, say people in different countries and different cultures think about work in different ways.
For example, U.S. companies often use language and metaphors. Elsewhere this is not common at all, while in Latin America, businesses often use family metaphors, Gibson says.

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates -- The United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia said Sunday they will restrict the use of BlackBerry mobile communication devices, citing difficulty monitoring them.
Gulf News reported the UAE said it will suspend BlackBerry communication services by Oct. 11 because of national security concerns.
The Daily Telegraph reported the Saudis would take action against BlackBerry's instant messaging service for similar reasons.
Abdulrahman Mazi, who sits on the board of state-controlled Saudi Telecom, said the move is aimed at getting Research in Motion, the Canadian maker of BlackBerry devices, to release data from users' communications "when needed," the Telegraph said.

Washington -- U.S. responses to future climate change will need reliable information and better communication between relevant agencies and groups, a report says.
The National Research Council report says a comprehensive national response will require accurate data monitoring and reporting systems to provide timely information for decision makers at all levels of government, a National Academies release said Thursday.
"Global climate change is a long-term challenge that will require all of us to make many decisions about how to respond," Diana Liverman, co-director of the Institute of Environment at the University of Arizona, Tucson, said.
