Traditionally, personal injury claims have generally consisted of a plaintiff seeking damages for expenses and "pain and suffering" relating to physical injuries sustained as a result of an accident. Emotional distress is an element of a plaintiff's pain and suffering, but is not, in and of itself, a separate and distinct claim. There seems to be a recent rise in the number of claims that are alleging specific emotional or psychological damages in personal injury claims, which if backed up by expert testimony could add substantial value to a plaintiff's claim. Diagnoses of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder or generalized anxiety resulting from an accident can be difficult to definitively contest from a defense perspective and, at the very least, will require a defendant and insurer to retain a competing expert to assess the validity of such a diagnosis. Therefore, it is essential that insurers and defense attorneys be aware of the limitations that a plaintiff faces in trying to introduce such claims, the evidence that can be used to support them, and the potentially difficult trial strategy decisions that a defendant may fact in light of such claims. Historically, such emotional injury claims could be made only if caused by the physical impact of the accident, but that has not stopped plaintiffs from pursuing such damages that may resulted from actions unrelated to the accidents themselves, particularly the conduct and behavior of the defendant. Evidence of potentially heinous conduct by a defendant that has no bearing on the cause of an accident could still have a very negative effect on a jury's decision. The potential prejudice to a defendant has not gone unnoticed by the Maryland courts, and recent a recent Court of Special Appeals decision has confirmed that Maryland does not allow emotional distress claims that arise apart from the underlying accident itself.
In Alban v. Fiels, 61 A.3d 867 (Md. App. 2013), Michael Fiels caused an auto accident when he veered across the center line of traffic and collided with a pickup truck being occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Alban. At trial, witnesses were prepared to testify that Mr. Fiels left the scene of the accident and proceeded down the road. However, he encountered a dead end and, therefore, had to turn around and drive past the Albans' vehicle in order to continue fleeing the scene. The witnesses would have further testified that Mr. Fiels laughed at the Albans as he drove past them the second time. The court opinion indicated that the Albans were taken to University of Maryland Shock Trauma and released. Their physical injuries were apparently minor. Notwithstanding the lack of significant physical injury, the Albans filed a lawsuit against Fiels alleging psychological injuries and emotional distress, including crying, anxiety, and sleeplessness. Their Complaint contained a count labeled "Intentional Acts of Outrage," which asserted that Fiels fleeing and apparent laughter caused them to sustain severe emotional trauma, and sought $1,000,000 in damages resulting from his intentional conduct.
The Albans were prepared to call the witnesses at trial, as well as calling an expert psychologist to testify that Mrs. Alban suffered from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder as a result of fear from being trapped in the car, Mr. Fiels not even stopping to see if they were alright, and being told that Fiels later laughed or smirked about the accident. Prior to trial, Fiels' attorney sought to exclude any evidence from being presented relating to his post-accident conduct. Fiels had admitted liability for the accident and, as such, those actions were irrelevant or not sufficiently probative so as to outweigh their prejudicial impact. The trial court granted Fiels request, stating the Fiels' post-accident actions – laughing and smirking – were not relevant or admissible. After receiving a less-than-impressive jury award of $10,000, the Albans filed an appeal to the Court of Special Appeals. That Court upheld the trial judge's evidentiary rulings, agreeing that Mr. Fiels' post-accident conduct was irrelevant, and even if one assumed that it was relevant, the trial court was within its discretion to exclude the evidence on the basis that it would be unfairly prejudicial.
The appellate court discussed a line of cases where plaintiffs sought recovery for emotional distress, and noted two elements generally required in order for such a claim to be made. First, a physical impact and injury are generally required and, second, the claim for emotional injuries should arise from the accident itself, not from facts learned later. In support of its decision the Court of Special Appeals noted another recent auto accident case, Hendrix v. Burns, in which the injured driver of an automobile was prevented from offering evidence that she sustained significant emotional distress after finding out that the defendant had been in the midst of a road rage accident, was under the influence at the time of the accident, and had a long history of alcohol-related driving offenses. The Court did not see a distinction between the Albans' claims and the Hendrix case. To the extent that Mrs. Alban wanted to assert that her injuries were caused or exacerbated by Mr. Fiels' post-accident conduct, she was not permitted to do so. To the extent that Mrs. Alban sustained emotional distress as a result of the auto accident itself, she was entitled to present evidence of this claim and recover damages. However, to the extent that Mrs. Alban claimed that she suffered additional emotional distress as a result of Fiels' post-accident laughter, it was a separate issue and was not a legally recognized claim in Maryland.
One final interesting statement was rendered in the court's opinion: at trial, both Mrs. Alban and her expert testified about her distress over the fact that Mr. Fiels fled the scene which, in essence, allowed the jury to hear evidence that Mr. Fiels fled the scene. The court, in a footnote, indicated that these comments were admitted a trial because "there was no objection," even though the trial court had earlier ruled that all of Fiels' post-accident conduct was irrelevant and inadmissible. The suggestion from this footnote is that the Court of Special Appeals agreed that evidence of Mr. Fiels' fleeing the scene was irrelevant and would not have been admitted if an objection had been made. This statement by the Court could be more impactful on future cases than the specific holding itself, as the circumstance of a motor vehicle operator fleeing a scene will happen much more often than an allegation that such person mocked the event itself. Accordingly, in future cases, defense attorneys should be able to convincingly argue that evidence of fleeing the scene should be excluded when the defendant admits liability for the accident. The admission of liability is essential. If a defendant does not admit liability, which would include waiving affirmative defenses such as contributory negligence, then evidence of post-accident conduct or other potentially prejudicial evidence against the Defendant would likely be admissible. In fact, if the defendant intends to testify at all, then all such evidence is likely fair game at trial because, at that point, the otherwise inadmissible conduct of the defendant could become relevant as to his/her credibility as a witness. Attorneys and insurance carriers will, therefore, have to be evaluate the pros and cons of having the defendant testify versus the potentially prejudicial facts being brought to the jury's attention.

I was highly referred to Deb Agard when my attorney retired and I was going through a child support modification for one child and emancipation for another. Working with her and her staff was great. She is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Anytime I had any questions/concerns they were always addressed in a timley manner by her or her staff. She was well prepared and fully attentive in court and I was glad I was not on the other side in the court room. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Posted by a client
I was referred to Devorah Agard from another attorney. He highly recommended her. Well needless to say that are in cahoots w one another. Mr. Kennedy finds the valuable clients and refers to ms. Agard for the HIGH PAYING RETAINER FEE! Ms. Agard reassured me that she could help me even though we only had 4 days to get things in order when my ex went for emergency hearing for my daughter. I had of roughly $5000.00 before it was all said and done and for what NOTHING. I still lostu daughter and have to pay supervised visits. Ms bag are didnt even defend me. My ex's attorney mrs. Gaddy and ms. Agard used to work together and I was also guaranteed that that would play no effect on her representing me. BOY was I wrong. We went to court and I lost her and the judge left everything g open ended. She couldn't even set up a reviewing hearing. I've been paying 290.00 every two weeks to see my daughter for only four hours a week. After my hearing ms. Agard was in such a hurry to get out because she was leaving on vacation. And she pretty much called me everything in the book but a white woman. To this day my daughter kicks and screams for me very time she sees me and is constantly asking when she gets to come home that she is getting is treated at her fathers. When ms Agard came back from her vacation she fired me as a client and I paid more of a retainer to have her to type up a reviewing hearing cause you only have 30 days to appeal. She flat out refused. Now I have been going through this since October And am having a hard finding another attorney because the case did not get closed it is still open ended! I am an awesome mother who was very highly I to my daughters education and coached her in cheerleading softball well anything bs he wanted to do. I coached her. I have never been in trouble w the law or ever done drugs in my lifetime. My daughter should not have to suffer like this. They didn't hurt me they killed U daighters spirit completely.

Was quoted 15K for a divorce. Thought the retainer was unusually high but was willing to pay that for a competent attorney. Unfortunately my ex's attorney has been handing me my lunch and Deborah M Agard appears to be assisting them in their efforts. Sent Deborah M Agard an email three weeks in a row detailing how my ex was refusing to allow visitation with my child. After three weeks of no response I called her office and was given a date and time for a telephone conference. After the telephone conference Deborah Agard finally took some action and I did get to visit with my child. Unfortunately during the process Deborah Agard failed to consider anything sent to her via email in regards to the visitation situation. She essentially was agreeing to the terms and conditions that my ex had specified which were totally unreasonable. If Deborah M Agard had bothered to read my emails she would have known that I would not have agreed to the conditions specified by my ex wife. I received a detailed billing and was charged $25.00 for reviewing client email. This was charged to me 10 different times. I am no longer using Deborah M Agard as an attorney for I believe that not only will I be out 15K but I will get my ass handed to me in court if she is my legal representation.

The Bayou Region of coastal Louisiana has experienced more than its fair share of disasters and disastrous events in the last century, but especially in the last six years. Our coastal communities have faced impacts from significant land loss and erosion, subsidence, salt-water intrusion, hypoxia, air and water pollution, hurricanes and storm surges, and oil drilling disasters. And of course, the effects of these events are stronger in this region because of the lack of effective "voice" of the people who are most impacted by them.
There's an axiom in Washington that when disaster strikes, Congress responds. But in the case of the BP Gulf oil spill—the worst environmental disaster of our time—this axiom has failed, at least to date.
Gulf Communities are reporting numerous cases of sickness related to the BP oil drilling disaster, but lack access to appropriate diagnosis or treatment
Over a year and a half since the catastrophic Deepwater Horizon explosion resulted in the dumping of 170 million gallons of crude oil and 2 million gallons of chemical dispersants into the Gulf Coast, many of the urgent health impacts of the disaster are neither understood nor addressed.

20th Battalion (Central Ontario), CEF
The 20th Battalion (Central Ontario), CEF was a unit of the First World War Canadian Expeditionary Force. It was composed of volunteers from militia units in central Ontario. Much of the unit was drawn from the 12th York Regiment, the Rangers, with men coming from ten other Militia Regiments -- of which four still exist.[1] The unit fought in France and Flanders as part of the 4th Infantry brigade, 2nd Canadian Division.[2] Notable actions include the Somme, Vimy Ridge, Hill 70, Passchendaele, Amiens, the advance along the Scarpe, Canal du Nord, Canal de le Escault and the advance to Mons in the Last Hundred Days. The battalion was disbanded in 1920.
Altogether, 4,310 officers and men served in the 20th Battalion during the war. Of them, 843 were killed in action or died of wounds (19.6%) – often having been wounded earlier. Another 1,855 (43%) were wounded, often repeatedly. 91 died of disease or accidentally. Ottawa stopped counting the deaths to old injuries, mental trauma and exposure to gas as war deaths in 1922 while the nominal roll of the 20th (privately held after the battalion disbanded) attributed these to the war until 1928. Only 22 Rangers were ever taken prisoner – nine of them in one incident when a stretcher party went astray at Passchendaele.[3] There was also one deserter who crossed to the German lines in 1916, his name and fate is not recorded.
Altogether 398 decorations and awards joined the thousands of wound stripes on the tunic of the Rangers of the 20th Battalion. Besides the two VCs, 10 officers earned the Distinguished Service Order (one did so twice). 45 officers received the Military Cross, four got a second award of the MC. For the men, there were the Distinguished Conduct Medal and the Military Medal. 24 men received the DCM and 231 men got the Military Medal (the equivalent to the MC) and 14 received a second award of it. Other awards recognizing good service trickled in, but the VC, DSO (for regimental officers), the MC, the DCM and the MM recognize unusual courage and achievement in battle.
Sgt Frederick Hobson of the 20th Battalion was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions on 18 August 1917, near Lens, France at the Battle of Hill 70.
Lt Wallace Lloyd Algie of the 20th Battalion was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions on 11 October 1918, around Iwuy, near Cambrai, France.
The 20th Battalion (Central Ontario), CEF, is perpetuated by The Queen's York Rangers (1st American Regiment) (RCAC).[4]

In Brief
The universe in reverse
How was the Cosmos born and what exactly is the Big Bang? What part did Einstein play in our present understanding of the universe and how does quantum physics come into the equation? Edgard Gunzig, physicist, author and honorary professor at the Université Libre de Bruxelles, sheds light on these and other questions.
Edgard Gunzig
Traditional cosmology, from Copernicus and Newton to the beginning of the 20
century, sought to describe the universe without posing, in scientific terms, the question of its origins. That remained a 'matter for God'. Is it true to say that Big Bang science laid claim to a field that previously lay within the domain of theology and metaphysics?
The concept of cosmogenesis only entered the field of science at that crucial and surprising moment for physicists when it became clear that the universe was evolutionary and, therefore, had a history. That occurred in 1929 when Hubble made the experimental discovery of the expansion of the universe. Previously, it had been seen as something fixed, static and immutable. The major challenge for the physicists was then to predict how the universe would develop in the future, to forecast our cosmological future, but also to understand its history, its cosmogenesis.
This discovery by Hubble, which marked a radical change in the way we viewed the world, was also at the origin of a 'drama' surrounding the representations that Einstein had developed between 1912 and 1915 to describe gravitational phenomena: the theory of general relativity. This theory marked a conceptual revolution in physics as, for the first time, it 'physicalised' space and time themselves. They ceased to be a simple passive reference framework, a kind of stage on which the story of the world is enacted. They were suddenly actors in that story. According to this theory, gravity simply translates into a visible form an invisible and previously unsuspected property of space and time, namely spacetime: its curve! The planets in our solar system are travelling along curved trajectories and objects fall to the surface of the Earth, not because the Earth attracts them but because the Earth curves or warps spacetime.
Suddenly, all material bodies, as well as rays of light, were seen to follow 'natural channels' within this spacetime curve. But what is responsible for the curve? Why is space not flat as man had always imagined it to be? It is the stars themselves that curve their environment, the content – material or light – curves the container, which is spacetime. Einstein's equations translate into mathematical terms this link between geometry and matter. This theory thus represents much more than a 'simple' explanation of gravity: it is a theory of space and time within which gravity naturally finds its origin.
You spoke of the drama produced by the discovery of an expanding universe by virtue of this remarkable theory, but what are we talking about exactly? What are the changes that this theory brought to our understanding of the universe?
The Milky Way as seen through the Very Large Telescope in Paranal (Chile), at the European Southern Observatory (ESO). This core of the Galaxy includes around 400 000 stars and is about 800 million years old. An analysis of the creation and development of the Milky Way is vital to our understanding of the universe.
The central concept is that of the Big Bang. It has made such an impression on people that its meaning has often been distorted. Despite its conceptual beauty, Einstein's new description of the world could only really lay claim to the status of a new physical theory, if it explained not only previously mysterious astronomical phenomena but also forecast totally unforeseen phenomena. General relativity passed this twofold test. It explained a curious and inexplicable phenomenon that could not be explained by Newton's good old law of universal gravity, one connected to the orbit of the planet Mercury, and it also predicts the new phenomenon of the deflection of light rays by the Sun.
So why not extrapolate to the scale of the universe what functioned so well at the 'local' level of the Solar System? Of course, at the time, we did not have any total view of the universe, but the temptation was too strong and Einstein was the first to go down this road. The great Einstein was, nevertheless, a victim of the consensus in opinion of the time and was hoping, through his theories, to provide an explanation of the total structure of the universe… as a fixed and eternal entity without history or origin.
Imagine his disappointment when he realised that his beautiful equations were unsuited to the description of such a universe. If he did not change them, the universe they implied was destined either to collapse in on itself or, on the contrary, expand and thus be evolutionary. As an irony of fate, Einstein realised that there remained one unexplored theory, that is, the introduction of an arbitration addition that would detract somewhat from the simplicity and beauty of his equations: the cosmological constant.
Hence the drama. In 1929, Hubble's discovery showed that the universe was evolutionary and not static and that Einstein's 'correct' equations were those he had come up with initially, in their simplest form. In other words, Einstein 'missed' the greatest theoretical prediction he could have formulated, that of an expanding universe! He would say it was the greatest mistake of his life but he did not know that, far from being monumental mistake, his cosmological constant initiated an adventure with many repercussions that is more pertinent today then ever.
What happened next and how did we then arrive at the Big Bang?
The physicists of the day were convinced they were in possession of unequivocal equations that explained the universe. In particular, this meant it had to be possible to unravel the history of the cosmos by tracing a thread back through time, by analysing in 'reverse time' the secrets of their equations. This would inevitably lead to their point of departure and the fundamental question of cosmogenesis.
But this history begins in a finite past, with a singular situation: all the characteristics of the physical (such as temperature, pressure, energy density) and geometrical (curvature) universe become simultaneously infinite. This accident was given the name the Big Bang. It suggests – but this is only an image – a vast explosion involving all the material content and its geometric container.
This situation, whereby all physical sizes become infinite, is essentially a non-physical situation. It does not correspond to any state of the universe whatsoever and, on the contrary, indicates precisely that the mathematicians are taking the lead and no longer describing anything tangible. This Big Bang is the mathematical detonator of a physical history. And this physical history, that of our universe, which is misleadingly referred to as 'the Big Bang theory', begins in this equation just a few minute fractions of a second afterwards. The equations, at this stage, thus provide us with a history but without giving us the key to its origin. In other words, the Big Bang represents an admission of theory's impotence.
Can science go beyond this impotence and move towards an understanding of the origins?
The Paranal site in Chile. This is the site of the VLT, the world's most powerful telescope. Despite the power of these precision instruments, it remains very difficult to make a detailed study of the oldest celestial bodies.
Yes, and for that it is essential to understand the origin of this impotence, and thus of the Big Bang. Despite its enormous contribution, general relativity has a major limitation: it describes links that exist between the content and container but remains silent as to the origin of this content. The presence of matter (and of radiation) contained in the universe is one of the things that the theory cannot explain. If follows from this, when the universe is viewed in reverse, that any quantity of matter and radiation becomes progressively compressed into an increasingly small volume, resulting in an increase in its pressure, its temperature, its energy density and the curving that Einstein's equations attribute to it. When this volume is reduced to a single point (not a particular point in space but all of space compressed into itself!) the inevitable is produced: all these physical and geometric quantities become simultaneously infinite and we have the Big Bang! While this Big Bang is thus rendered inevitable, it is also demystified. It is seen as an intrinsic limitation precisely because of its inability to explain the origin of its constituents and even more so cosmogenesis. It is precisely this that bears the misleading name of the 'Big Bang theory' .
So science is unable to decipher cosmogenesis?
One of the most fascinating aspects of physics over the past three decades is that it progressively provided a negative response to this question. This response comes from the confrontation between general relativity and the second fundamental pillar on which the whole of contemporary physics is based: quantum theory. It is an extension of Einstein's theory that takes from quantum theory that which it lacks: the possibility to create and destroy matter. The central player in this is none other than the vacuum! Not the (intuitive) vacuum of traditional physics that is equivalent to the absence of all things, but the quantum vacuum that is the site of uncontrolled activity, of constant and, in principle, irremovable fluctuations. This fluctuating quantum vacuum is the most fixed state that nature can accommodate, whose degree of emptiness cannot be taken any further. And this vacuum – this is the essential point – possesses a non-zero energy (unlike the traditional vacuum), which is associated with all these fluctuations. This vacuum is a strange player that could produce the very worst or the very best outcome, a disaster for contemporary physics or the path to a possible representation of cosmogenesis.
Let us speak about the best and leave the worst for another time…
It is essentially the unexpected possibility of conceiving of the emergence of the universe out of the quantum vacuum or a process that avoids any recourse to the Big Bang. This is an extraordinarily subtle interplay between the quantum fluctuations of the vacuum and the expansion of the space that gives birth to the universe: the expansion of space forces the vacuum to transform its fluctuations into particles, thus to create matter, and this matter, in turn, forces space to expand. An extraordinary snake that bites its own tail! The universe would then result from a mechanism that unfolds in a self-consistent manner, with no need of any external help. The universe that is thereby created discovers in itself the energy necessary to activate its own creation. What is more, the initial creative stage that results from this phenomenon corresponds to this initial period of vast expansion and inflation that physicists need so much today in order to reconcile experimental observations and theoretical predictions.
Most of these experimental data result from the observation of what is today the true memory of our cosmological past: the fossil electromagnetic radiation that floods the entire universe and that was produced several thousand years after its creation. This is the genuine remnant of the primordial universe that is imprinted on its most intimate properties that we can observe today.

Uncertain relationships are a principle of quantum physics: it is impossible to know simultaneously all the characteristics of a particle. Come to that, how does one ever grasp the complexities of a human being?
Relations d'incertitude
is a jointly penned autobiography. Elisa Brune, a journalist, tries to pin down a researcher whose life, from the very beginnings, reads like a novel: the little Jewish boy born in Spain during the civil war when his parents were fighting for the International Brigades, a father executed by the Nazis, a mother who took him to Poland where he grew up under the shadow of Stalin. And then came science. Is there a link between the chaos of life and the questions that fascinate us, and perhaps the manner of asking them? Cosmogenesis, the backdrop to the book, also allows the authors to lift the veil on some of the mysteries surrounding the Big Bang, the bootstrap, the quantum vacuum, etc.

Article Summary
Last month we told you about a team of Brigham Young University engineering students, who created a clever Batman-inspired wall-climbing system. They were competing in the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory's 2012 Service Academy and University Engineering Challenge, in which teams had to design gadgets that would allow soldiers to safely and quickly ascend vertical surfaces. Given that the Brigham Young entry didn't take first place, however, we thought it only made sense to take a look at the entry that did ... and that would be a little something known as the Personal Vacuum Assisted Climber (PVAC), designed by a team from Utah State University.

Hello Ladies!!
I have the implanon & have had it since march of last year (so almost a year already). Ever since I've had it, I have hot flashes like crazy & night sweats. For the past couple weeks I've been feeling neasous on and off throughout the day, my back hurts, i'm fatigued, i'm sensitive to smells, & dont seem like I can eat anything.. (because i dont feel good) I took a pregnancy test thinking it was just maybe I'm getting sick since everyone else is, and it came back negative, but I dont know.. If this continues, I feel like I am but just got a negative response because of my implanon. I keep getting up randomly feeling like I have to throw up but nothing.
At the same time, I kinda HOPE i am.. I want another baby but, my fiance is wanting to wait until my DD is 2.
What should I do? :/

When the decision finally was announced in June, it gave senior leaders at least a modicum of solid ground upon which to begin making decisions about how to position their organizations strategically for the intermediate and long-term future.
"We know there's a need for radical change," Schnieders says. "It wasn't going to stop the train if they came back and ruled it unconstitutional, but it would have slowed down reform and it would have had to restart at some point in the future. Reform is going to occur one way or another and we would rather have planning and thoughtful preparation to deal with it. That said, even today, we're not really sure what the regulations are going to be, so there's still a lot of uncertainty about what will be required."
The two key decisions the Court handed down went in seemingly opposite philosophical directions. While the court affirmed the federal government's right to compel the purchase of health insurance, it said the feds were unable to force states to commensurately expand their Medicaid eligibility guidelines and set up "health insurance exchanges," that is, state-regulated, standardized health insurance plans from a variety of insurers available for purchase. While the federal government has promised to pick up 100% of the tab for the expansion for the first three years (2014–2017), it does ratchet down the feds' share to 90% by 2020 and future funding, given the national debt and deficit levels, is far from assured from future Congresses. For his part, Schnieders understands both sides of the argument regarding the Medicaid expansion. His state, Nebraska, is squarely on the fence from the legislative standpoint, but Republican Gov. Dave Heineman has vowed to oppose it, saying the state cannot afford to expand Medicaid.

Annual Salary Survey
After almost a decade of uncertainty, the confidence of plant floor managers is soaring. Even with a number of challenges and while implementing new technologies, there is a renewed sense of optimism among plant managers about their business and their future.
The respondents to the 2014 Plant Engineering Salary Survey come from throughout the U.S. and serve a variety of industries, but they are uniform in their optimism about manufacturing. This year's survey found 79% consider manufacturing a secure career. That's up from 75% in 2013 and significantly higher than the 63% figure when Plant Engineering first started asking that question a decade ago.

The Dark Knight (2008)
Plot Summary
Batman raises the stakes in his war on crime. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent, Batman sets out to dismantle the remaining criminal organizations that plague the city streets. The partnership proves to be effective, but they soon find themselves prey to a reign of chaos unleashed by a rising criminal mastermind known to the terrified citizens of Gotham as The Joker.- Written by Peteagassi
Set within a year after the events of Batman Begins, Batman, Lieutenant James Gordon, and new district attorney Harvey Dent successfully begin to round up the criminals that plague Gotham City until a mysterious and sadistic criminal mastermind known only as the Joker appears in Gotham, creating a new wave of chaos. Batman's struggle against the Joker becomes deeply personal, forcing him to "confront everything he believes" and improve his technology to stop him. A love triangle develops between Bruce Wayne, Dent and Rachel Dawes.- Written by Leon Lombardi
The follow-up to Batman Begins, The Dark Knight reunites director Christopher Nolan and star Christian Bale, who reprises the role of Batman/Bruce Wayne in his continuing war on crime. With the help of Lt. Jim Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent, Batman sets out to destroy organized crime in Gotham for good. The triumvirate proves effective. But soon the three find themselves prey to a rising criminal mastermind known as The Joker, who thrusts Gotham into anarchy and forces Batman closer to crossing the fine line between hero and vigilante.- Written by Anonymous
Gotham's new district attorney has been elected. His name is Harvey Dent, and he has a radical new agenda that threatens to take down Gotham's organized crime underworld once and for all with an iron fist. But the emergence of the rogue vigilante known as Batman has caused problems for Dent and his agenda. A new criminal mastermind known only as "The Joker" has arrived and aims to take Gotham out from under Harvey Dent's iron fist. The Joker stages a masterfully planned bank robbery and robs the Gotham mob blind. He uses this money to stage a series of horrific and strategic attacks against the city and its people - each one carefully planned and aimed at Dent and Batman while causing the rest of the city to enter panic mode. Meanwhile, Batman thinks he might have found a lead to The Joker thanks to Wayne Enterprises' dealings with a shady Chinese banker, and that takes Batman and Alfred to Hong Kong. The Joker has no rules, but Batman has only one, and the Joker aims to make Batman break his only rule. But who will be the one to take him out - will it be rogue vigilante Batman or will it be elected official Harvey Dent, the new hero with a face?- Written by halo1k
One year after the events of Batman Begins, Batman, Gordon, and the new DA, Harvey Dent plan to launch an attack on the mob by arresting the shady accountant of the mob, Lau. Lau is abducted from his building by Batman and is thrown into jail. Lau divulges the secrets which results in almost all the mob bosses thrown in jail. The desperate mob bosses turn to the Joker, a sadistic psychopath with green hair, completely yellow teeth and a custom purple suit. The Joker kills a judge, the commissioner of police and tries to kill the Mayor and Harvey. The acts of Joker produces anarchy and chaos of in the people of Gotham forcing Batman to come to terms to which may seem to be his greatest test to fight injustice and come closer to the fine line between hero and vigilante.- Written by srijanarora-152-448595
When the menace known as the Joker wreaks havoc and chaos on the people of Gotham, the caped crusader must come to terms with one of the greatest psychological tests of his ability to fight injustice.
The movie begins with a gang of men with clown masks breaking into the bank where the mob has a large portion of their money stashed...See full synopsis » (Warning: contains spoilers!)

Have a bunch of left over fabric? Show it off with this Fabric Scrap Photo Frame from I Love to Create. Made with a variety of fabric scraps, this home decor accent is great for showing off everything from a valued prize to an adorable couple on their wedding day! This is a simple project to make and you can have a lot of fun mixing and matching fabric and embellishments.
- Picture Frame
- Sparkle Collage Pauge
- Scrap Fabric
- Random Crafty Curios
- Scissors
- Liquid Fusion Glue
The first you need to do is make yourself strips of fabric. I had an old red and white western shirt that fit my color theme perfectly.
Next using sparkly Collage Pauge wrap your fabric strips around your frame. This will take several strips and you want to get them pretty saturated so that you can easily smooth down rough edges and bumps.
Once your Collage Pauge has dried completely you can embellish your frame any way your heart desires. I put together a prize ribbon and vintage Kanzashi (Japanese hair flower). Using Liquid Fusion glue attach your adornments to the frame.
- All that is left to do is fill your frame and set it out proudly!

Ugly Kid Joe
Ugly Kid Joe Interview
21 October 2012
21 October 2012
Michael Glynn
Share with:
Ugly Kid Joe triumphantly returned to the UK earlier this year after a lengthy split with an appearance at Download Festival and a one off London show. They return to the UK this week to support the legendary Alice Cooper alongside Duff McKagan's Loaded. We caught up with front man and all round good guy, Whitfield Crane to talk about the tour, getting the band back together, and how 2012 is treating the band.
MUSIC NEWS: It's been a long time since UKJ last did a full tour of the UK, are you looking forward to it?
WHITFIELD CRANE: Yeah for sure, we're going out with Alice Cooper who is a legend in his own right and we're also sharing a stage with Duff McKagan which is pretty cool because we're all Guns N Roses fans and we're excited to check out Loaded. We were in the UK on June 6th, we played the Underworld in London and on June 10th we played Download Festival where we played second stage at 3:45pm in front of 60,000 people and it was awesome, California brought the sunshine for sure.
MN: Ugly Kid Joe split for a while and now you're back together, what's it like to able to come back and be able to play with these big name bands like Alice Cooper again?
WC: I think it's a gift, we didn't know what to expect when we did those shows in June and we were super grateful to see the response so to get this tour with Alice Cooper you know we're all super fans. I've never even seen him play in concert and I'm a student of rock and roll so it will be good to be able to learn from the guy.
MN: So what else is going on with the band right now?
WC: We also have our EP out, it's called Stairway To Hell, by the time we get to the UK we'll have our new single out too, it's called 'I'm Alright'. We're shooting a video for the song in the next couple of weeks and we're really excited about the whole process of it. We're the label, we're the management so it's all in house, Dave Fortman, our guitarist is the producer so it's some real good times for us. At the beginning of our career 20 years ago we needed a label and needed a manager but the world's changed drastically, now we find ourselves in the driver's seat so we don't know what to expect but we're very grateful and excited that it's manifesting. Life is good for Ugly Kid Joe right now.
MN: You've been working on the video for 'I'm Alright' and used Kickstarter to raise the money for it, how much impact has today's technology had for the band than when you were last around?
WC: It's our first try with such a technique but yeah it's wide open, the interesting thing about music now is no really buys it and no one is going to sell a million records, we did that with 'America's Least Wanted' but those days are over. As you well know, the music industry is dead and gone as it was so something like Kickstarter is the new way, it's the first time we've ever used anything like that, I'm excited about it because once again it's in house, I love to connect first person with the fans and it's all new us.
MN: What was the catalyst in bringing the band back together after so long?
WC: I never thought it would go down personally but Dave was producing a band called Godsmack and in that band there's a magnificent drummer called Shannon Larkin who of course is the Ugly Kid Joe drummer, so basically you had Dave Fortman producing Shannon's band and those guys were just talking and having a good time. I guess they talked about it and called Klaus, my best friend and guitar player of Ugly Kid Joe, they said 'hey man we should make some music'. Klaus shot me a call and asked me if I wanna play some heavy metal music and obviously I said yes.
MN: Why the split in the first place?
WC: In late '96 and January '97 when we officially spilt no one was into it, you could feel the wind out of the sails. We were sick of each other and we had the courage to leave, it's okay to leave a toxic situation so that said fast forward 16 years later and everyone wants to be in the room, we're excited to be around each other and be creative. We've all gone off and done this myriad of stud, some of us are married and have kids so now when we're armed with all these various experiences and it's really exciting and cathartic in some sense. We didn't know how it would work out, if we would get any shows and being asked how we feel about being able to support Alice Cooper, we're blown away.
MN: Are you looking forward to getting over here and playing the new EP material?
WC: The song that we're releasing soon (I'm Alright) it's going to go off, I mean you could get a whole stadium floor pogoing it's that awesome. What's interesting is that it feels really great to play these songs, the last record we made, 'Motel California', when we played those songs live back in the day I kinda shrugged but with this new stuff we've got a real heavy killer set.
MN: What can we expect for your shows when you're over here?
I shall leave that as a surprise but we're going to bring it for sure. California is bringing the sunshine!
Ugly Kid Joe are touring with Alice Cooper from October 24th to November 3rd. Keep your eyes out for their new video 'I'm Alright' which will be released soon.

Max Clifford
Gail's Gab, Gail Sheridan / / Opinion
Well what a day we had on Sunday.
My wee angel was like a princess in her First Holy Communion dress, and she and the seven other children on the altar were wee stars. All of them were gorgeous with the one boy looking as cool as a male model. He will certainly break a few hearts as he grows up.
Gabrielle had her parents and all her guests in tears as she thanked everyone for coming to her celebration and bringing wonderful gifts before stating that the most important thing in her life is "friends and family". I was so proud of her.
Only one thing annoyed me. I love this country but honestly this bloody weather it can really be a scunner. I didn't pray for sunshine as that would have been too selfish but I had hoped for a few rays. Instead we got drizzily rain. Tommy blamed the NO campaign and says it is because of all their negativity. Whatever the truth even the rain could not spoil what was undoubtedly one of the best and proudest days of my life. In truth, I've waited eight years for it and Gabrielle didn't let me down. Even Tommy did okay as he played the chief dish washer and chauffeur for many of our guests. His teetotal life style does come in handy during social occasions. It allows me to have a wee glass, or two...

Whatever happened to real friends?
I am not a big fan of Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites. I prefer the days when considering someone a 'friend' meant you knew them, spoke with them and trusted them rather than clicking on a profile picture or a 'follow' button. Perhaps it is old fashioned but it is how I am. The latest row on Twitter and Facebook illustrates yet again how inadequate and sick some folk can be on these sites. The young man Stephen Sutton who has incurable cancer but has tried to do something positive by raising funds to pay for support services and counselling for other young sufferers has been attacked for being allowed out of hospital temporarily. He has been accused of "duping" folk into donating money to the cause he is championing. How pathetic. These folk are apparently called 'trolls'. I think sad and shameless would be more appropriate. Stephen's retort to the fools hopefully embarrassed them; "Sorry to disappoint you! I still have my cancer and it's incurable, if that makes you feel less 'duped' x." Great spirit and well said.
Glad I ignored Clifford
A wee shiver went down my spine as the Max Clifford verdict and sentence was announced last week. By all accounts he was a manipulative and unpleasant man who thought he was above the law. I recall being contacted by a London 'agent' in 2006 after Tommy's successful libel trial against the News of the World to be offered a meeting with Clifford because he was interested in 'representing' me. I didn't need or want anyone to represent me but Tommy was adamant that Clifford was toxic and I shouldn't respond. I didn't. That was good advice.

NCATE Accreditation
The National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) is a national organization whose six standards must be met in order for teacher licensure programs to be accredited. We recently underwent a successful NCATE visit in October, 2009. The NCATE team determined that Ohio University's Education Unit met all six NCATE standards. Our next NCATE visit will be in the fall of 2014.
Since 1954, the Ohio University Gladys W. and David H. Patton College of Education has been accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education. This accreditation covers initial teacher preparation programs and advanced educator preparation programs. NCATE is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation to accredit programs for the preparation of teachers and other professional school personnel.
Use links at right to access NCATE materials.
If you have questions about NCATE or the accreditation process, contact Director of Assessment & Academic Improvement Dr. Connie Patterson.
To learn more about The Gladys W. and David H. Patton College of Education 's other accrediting bodies, visit the Office of Assessment & Academic Improvement.
As a Unit, we prepare leaders-educators, practitioners and human service professionals who share our commitment to lifelong learning and serving society responsibility as change agents in meeting diverse human and social needs.

PBS is hosting the next Democratic debate tonight. Here's how you can tune in.
There's been a lot of talk lately about artificial intelligence, with the likes of Bill Gates, Elon Musk and even Stephen Hawking expressing concern that smart machines will turn on us. Are they right?
If you're a fan of Lady Gaga, Tony Bennett or changing outfits every three minutes, 'Cheek to Cheek Live' will be televised on PBS tonight, and on Amazon Instant 4K later in the year.
The PBS and BBC One series "Big Blue Live" offers a close look at a blue whale's massive ticker. Just be thankful YouTube doesn't have a virtual smell feature...for now.
A clip from an upcoming live BBC and PBS show called "Big Blue Live" captures footage of a blue whale at the most hilarious time possible. Can a whale get a rimshot up in here?
The new channels will stream full episodes of popular shows like "Nova," "Austin City Limits," and "Curious George."
On the PBS series "Game/Show," host Jamin Warren discusses why the act of killing is such a fundamental game mechanic in video games from Mario Bros. to Grand Theft Auto.
Apple's streaming box adds the Yahoo Screen app with clips from shows like "The Daily Show" and "SNL" plus snippets by Yahoo itself. PBS, with "Downtown Abbey" in tow, joins up too.
In the latest content tit-for-tat, Netflix broadens its pact with the public broadcaster a week after Amazon's Prime Instant Video does, though wildly popular "Downton Abbey" remains at the online retail giant.
The e-retail giant's streaming service will now include hundreds of additional episodes of "Nova," "Masterpiece," and other PBS shows.

For those of you wondering what Xbox Live titles Microsoft will have ready for Windows 8 when it ships to the general public on October 26, 2012, you can stop guessing. The Redmond software giant today unveiled the first wave of titles that will ship for the platform, a total of 40 games, 29 of which are from Microsoft Studios. If you're expecting heavy-hitting titles like Halo, you're going to be disappointed, but if you're more into Angry Birds these days, you'll like what the company has on tap.
Angry Birds and Angry Birds Space are among the 40 titles, as are similar casual games like Cut the Rope. Microsoft said a number of studios are committed to bringing Xbox Live games to Windows 8, including Rovio, Miniclip, Gameloft, ZeptoLab, Glu Mobile, and Halfbrick studios.
"Xbox games will be super easy to discover through the Games app that comes with Windows 8 and available through the Windows Store," Microsoft said. "Xbox games for Windows 8 will have Xbox Achievements as well as the ability to take advantage of certain Xbox features such as leaderboards, multiplayer modes, and connecting with friends."
You can view a full list of titles on Microsoft's Windows Team blog .

The grays are almost our descendants come back from the future, by coming back they've created a new time line. They're from the distant future, the sun has reddened, bloated, and they've moved farther out to survive but have reached a point where they can no longer evolve to a dying sun.
They are maladapted to present conditions thus the hybrid program. The hybrid program is only possible because they are our distant descendants and thus genetically related. Because they've created a new timeline by coming back, they will not in fact alter their own past and thus they only need us until they're through with us genetically.
They provide us visions of environmental disasters because they don't want us to ruin the planet before they have a chance to take it from us.
However, there are other races who do not wish them to eliminate us and are interfering.
The whole alien foodstuff's thing makes no sense; how could a race evolve to be dependent upon life forms light years away for their sustenance? That doesn't even make good sci-fi, it makes no sense.

When a human thinks, they broadcast strong impulses, in the case of 'fear' the frequency is 'loud' and easy to recognize (by the same right, a calm and composed mind-set should be far more difficult to 'recognize).

TsC - This is apprentices' task by CuteFlareWatch
©2014-2016 CuteFlare
3rd picture for Ripplepaw to become warrior
1st picture for Burningkit to become apprentice (At last )
I'm so close getting Ripplepaw to become warrior...
But I had difficulties to decide what to do for her "Daily life" xD So I picked up scene from the roleplay between me and gerbutt
Also I was thinking about Burningkit too since if we want to be logical, he should be older than Ripplepaw which shall explain why he is so big (He has been in the nursery long enough)
I am happy of this picture and I always seem to find nurseries quick to draw background for...
So yeah
Crap I forgot to cover some of Ripplepaw's and Shinepaw's paws with a moss... I shall let it pass this time
I hope you liket
If you want to read piece of the roleplay that scene is based on, you can read it from here:
As Ripplepaw had finished her ripping off the old bedding, she turned about to pad out from the den to leave the dirty moss outside to be left into the dirt place but in the darkness she dumped at something sending her dirty moss flying on the floor again. "Whops, sorry" she heard a male sarcastic voice echoing behind of her and turning her head around she spotted pair of caramel-coloured eyes. "Burningpaw!" Ripplepaw mewed surprised and rose on her paws.
Shinepaw left Lostclaw's den and headed for the elders, padding over quickly and finishing her task with ease. She trotted out of the den free of moss, and headed to the nursery to see if Ripplepaw needed any help. She stuck her head into the warm, dark, and motherly-smelling den, trying to adjust her eyes to the dark. "Ripplepaw?"
"It seems like you're messing up with the bedding" Burningkit commented and muffled afterwards as Ripplepaw pushed him away with her tail as she padded past him to meet up with Shinepaw. "Yes please!" She mewed with cheery tone. "Help would be appreciated..." She muttered afterwards and glared at Burningkit.
Shinepaw glanced between Burningkit and Ripplepaw warily. "Um..." She shook herself and started pulling the soiled bedding out of the den. After a while, she spoke. "Hey Burningkit, make up your mind! Help us out or get out of the way," she said, lashing her tail.
Still feeling muffled Burningkit heaved himself up and let out a quick hiss "Why should I? This is my den!"
"and your den is being cleaned" Ripplepaw mewed starting to sound annyoied. "Just get out and play with other kits! This is apprentices' task!" she added and gave a slap at Burningkit to move away.
"and your den is being cleaned" Ripplepaw mewed starting to sound annyoied. "Just get out and play with other kits! This is apprentices' task!" she added and gave a slap at Burningkit to move away.
Art, Ripplepaw & Burningkit (c) me
May I ask, how do you do your tabby stripes? XD, I've always had a lot of trouble with them.
I guess it takes bunch of practice or so? Since I can tell that few years behind before I actually started to focus on designs of tabbies, tabbies were back then pretty much as striped cats for me xD
But practice and then I also have tablet that helps me to do curves and such easier :3
But practice and then I also have tablet that helps me to do curves and such easier :3

For the second time this season, a Fighting Illini player was handed a weekly award by the Big Ten.
Justin DuVernois, Illinois' punter, was named Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week on Monday, the first Illini to win this specific award since Derek Dimke on Sept. 26, 2011. DuVernois joins Nathan Scheelhaase in winning a weekly Big Ten award. The Illinois quarterback was named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week after the season's first week.
In Illinois' 34-24 loss to Washington at Soldier Field on Saturday, DuVernois punted five times, averaging 45.2 yards per punt. Three of those kicks landed inside the 15-yard line, with two landing inside the 10.

Video: Brian Cole talks Michigan pledge
Saginaw, Mich., Heritage four-star wide receiver Brian Cole (6-2, 190, Rivals.com's No. 106 senior nationally) joined Channel 5 Saginaw Sports Extra's Evan Beach to talk about his Michigan pledge. Here's the video and more
"One of the things I can really say is it felt like home," Cole said. "We just prayed about it. The Holy Spirit said this is the place I need to be. I talked to my parents a little bit they said go ahead, commit. Coach Hoke went crazy. He picked me up even and kissed me on my cheek and everything."
Michigan was in it early, his father said, but Michigan State was the leader.
"We were totally surprised," his mother said. "He said, 'Mom, I believe this is the place I need to be.'"
