BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

September 02, 2014 Reprints

A volcanic eruption has been reported in southeast Iceland, with lava flying almost 200 feet into the air.

Iceland's Met Office said the eruption is 50 times more powerful than another very recent one, but called the latest outburst "calm," reports CBS News.

The fissure cuts through the Holuhraun lava field, between Bardarbunga and Askja volcanoes.

CBS News reported that the aviation alert warning was briefly raised to red. No commercial flights were affected.
