We always look for ways to get the most value for our litigation expense investment. Not long ago, I secured a defense verdict in a case where the plaintiff turned left in front of a truck driven by my client. The issue was whether or not he had time to react and avoid the collision. Using a radar gun and exemplar vehicle, the plaintiff's expert recreated what he believed was the acceleration of the plaintiff's vehicle through the interchange. One of our most effective demonstrative exhibits was a split screen clip comparing the product of the expert's calculations (on the right) with the actual flow of traffic at the time of day when the accident occurred.

Jordan Coyne & Savits, L.L.P. is pleased to announce that John O. Easton, who has practiced law for 32 years as a partner of the Firm, has become Senior Counsel to the Firm effective December 1, 2013. Mr. Easton will continue to handle legal matters in his new capacity.
Mr. Easton received his J.D. in 1977 from George Mason University and his undergraduate degree from Baylor University in 1966. He served seven years as an infantry officer in the United States Marine Corps (1966-1973), including a tour in Viet Nam as an infantry platoon commander and infantry company commander (1967-1968), and after leaving active duty continued to serve as an officer in the United States Marine Corps Reserve. He joined the firm as a law clerk in 1974, became an associate in 1977 and a partner in 1981.
In 1990, as a Colonel in the Marine Corps Reserve, and the Commanding Officer of the 4th Civil Affairs Group, Mr. Easton was called up for active duty for the First Gulf War. He and his unit were involved actively in the 100-hour ground war at the end of February, 1991, and handled thousands of Iraqi prisoners. He ultimately was on active duty for seven months, serving in Kuwait and Iraq, and then returned to resume his legal practice with the Firm.
Mr. Easton has more than 36 years of experience in the areas of legal malpractice defense, architects and engineers malpractice defense, medical malpractice defense, products liability defense, personal injury defense and the defense of sexual assault and abuse cases. He was once again selected by his peers for inclusion in the 2013 edition of The Best Lawyers in America in the practice areas of Personal Injury Litigation - Defendants; and Professional Malpractice Law - Defendants, and was also selected for inclusion in Top Attorneys in Virginia.
In Cook v. Nationwide Insurance Company, Case No. PWG-13-882 (D. Md. Aug. 23, 2013), the Court considered a "dizzying array" of motions in an insurance bad faith case arising out of an excess judgment in a motor vehicle accident case tried in Maryland state court. The federal district court denied the plaintiff's motion to remand, dismissed the case as against the non-diverse insurance defense attorneys who tried the underlying case, and set a schedule for limited discovery relating to the issue of whether there had been a settlement demand arguably within policy limits prior to the trial verdict.
In the underlying auto accident case, the insured had been driving while intoxicated and on a suspended license when he struck and injured the plaintiff's car, causing severe injuries to the plaintiff. The insured's policy only had limits of $50,000. The plaintiff brought suit in the Circuit Court for Prince George's County, Maryland, which ultimately resulted in a judgment of $892,050.52. On the first day of trial, the Plaintiff had offered to settle for $71,000, an amount consisting of the policy limits of $50,000 and $21,000 in "trial costs." The insurer had countered with an offer of $50,000 plus $4,000 in trial costs. After the judgment was returned, the insured driver executed an assignment to Plaintiff of any and all rights he had against the insurer and the defense counsel in any claims he had as a result of the handling of the claim and the trial.
The plaintiff subsequently filed suit against the insurer, against the individual defense attorneys, and against their law office in the Circuit Court for Prince George's County, asserting one count of bad faith/negligence. The defendants then removed the case to federal court, asserting that the individual defense attorneys who were residents of Maryland were fraudulently joined. Immediately after removal, the defendants moved to dismiss. Plaintiff then filed a motion to remand, and moved for leave to file an amended complaint.
Judge Grimm denied the plaintiff's motion to remand, on the grounds that he had failed to state any colorable claims against any non-diverse defendants, specifically, the defense attorneys. The Court noted that nowhere did the complaint even allege that the attorney defendants had control over any decisions as to whether to settle the Plaintiff's claims, or that the defendant attorneys were even aware of the $71,000 settlement demand until after the insurer had rejected it. The Court also rejected plaintiff's argument that he had stated a viable claim for legal malpractice, ruling that under Maryland law, claims for legal malpractice are not assignable, citing Claggett v. Dacy, 420 A.2d 1285, 1288 (Md. App. 1980). Accordingly, the Court held that the assignment of the insured's claims for legal malpractice was invalid as a matter of law and cannot support a claim against the defendant attorneys.
The Court granted the plaintiff's motion to amend with regard to the count of bad faith only, to allow the plaintiff to allege that the insurer had the authority to pay the $21,000 in trial costs either as an expense or as a cost under the policy, and thus had an obligation to do so under the terms of the policy. Arguably, if the $21,000 represented trial costs, then together with the $50,000 in policy limits, the $71,000 settlement demand may have been within policy limits.
With regard to the defendants' motion to dismiss, the Court noted that the defendants argued that the plaintiff's lowest settlement demand was $71,000, and that the insurer had offered to settle for $54,000, consisting of the policy limits of $50,000 and $4000 in costs. The Court noted that neither party has pointed out any case in which an insurance company was held liable for bad faith after offering to settle at, much less above, its policy limits.
The plaintiff argued that the $71,000 offer was within policy limits because the additional $21,000 constituted "trial costs." The Court held that plaintiff therefore alleged, "by the narrowest of margins", a plausible ground for relief. Noting that under Maryland law, "costs" do not include the prevailing party's counsel fees, the Court set a schedule for expedited and limited discovery on the issue of what expenses are included in the $21,000 of alleged costs, and any good faith basis Plaintiff may have for believing that attorney's fees or or any other expenses are "costs" under the policy.
Interestingly, while on a motion to dismiss such evidence could not be considered by the Court, the defendants' motion to dismiss noted that there were numerous settlement offers made of the policy limits, the first being made about 70 days after the accident at issue. However, the insurance company defendants evidently opted to withhold policy limits information until the plaintiff provided his medical records, and that appears not to have occurred until after suit was already filed. Reading between the lines, it appears that plaintiff's counsel may have been angered at having had to incur significant trial preparation expenses before being informed that the policy limits were only $50,000.

In Floyd v. Bank of America Corporation, No. 12-CV-591 (D.C. July 11, 2013), the D.C. Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal of a complaint under the District of Columbia Consumer Protection Procedures Act (the "CPPA"), addressing the issues of standing and failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted.
The Complaint, filed by and on behalf of customers of Bank of America, alleged that the Bank's use of telephone call centers in India resulted in the transmission of digitized financial records and passwords so that overseas personnel can provide service. Thus, the Complaint alleged that such transmissions were exposed to surveillance, interception or seizure by the U.S. government. The Complaint further alleged that the Bank gave customers a ten-digit customer-service telephone number, which gave customers a reasonable expectation that the telephone call would be within the United States and subject to the privacy protections of U.S. laws, and that customers are not notified that their electronic data is being transmitted to a foreign country.
The Bank first moved to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, arguing that the plaintiffs alleged no concrete injury and therefore lacked standing. Alternatively, the Bank moved to dismiss on the ground that the Complaint failed to state a claim under the CPPA. The Superior Court dismissed the Complaint for lack of standing.
On appeal, the D.C. Court of Appeals disagreed as to the dismissal due to lack of standing. Citing to the Grayson decision, the Court stated that while a lawsuit under the CPPA does not relieve a plaintiff of the requirement to show a concrete injury-in-fact to herself, she may make a showing of concrete injury in fact by alleging that she is a consumer of the defendant's services and that the defendant has misrepresented material facts about the service or has failed to inform the plaintiff of material information about the service. Thus, it was enough in Grayson that the plaintiff had asserted an invasion of his statutory legal right created by the CPPA to truthful and non-misleading information regarding the fate of the value of unused minutes on the calling cards he had purchased.
Thus, what mattered for standing under the CPPA in this case was that the plaintiffs alleged that they are Bank customers and that the Bank made misrepresentations and omissions in providing them information about its services they utilized.
The Court then proceeded to consider the legal sufficiency of the plaintiffs' claims under the CPPA. The Court agreed with the Bank that the fatal defect in plaintiffs' CPPA claims about the call centers was that the plaintiffs failed to point to any representations that the Bank made to the effect that, in providing customer service, every Bank call center representative can "invoke the protection of the laws of the United States to exclude the U.S. Government from unfettered access to customers' financial records." Therefore, the Court held that the Complaint failed to state a legally viable claim under section 28-3904(a) of the CPPA.
The Court reasoned that the CPPA's reference to representations about the "characteristics" and "standard" of the Bank's "services", refers to misrepresentations about the Bank's "economic output." Yet, the Complaint did not allege misrepresentations about the Bank's economic output, but instead alleges a misrepresentation about other matters, i.e., the legal environment and the climate of surveillance. Therefore, the allegations about the use of the ten-digit telephone number did not state a claim under the CPPA's section 28-3904(a) and (d).
The Court also found that the Complaint failed to state a claim under section 28-3904(f) of the CPPA, because there was no allegation of a misrepresentation of a "material fact." Rather, what was not disclosed was a legal assessment of the implications of the Bank's use of overseas call centers. Further, there was no allegation that a significant number of consumers would find that information important in determining a course of action. Thus, the omitted information was not "material" within the meaning of section 28-3904(f).
The Court also concluded as a matter of law that merely by providing the plaintiffs with a ten-digit domestic-looking telephone number for customer service, the Bank did not use deceptive or representations or designations of geographic origin in connection with goods or services. In a footnote, the Court took judicial notice of the fact that since calls can be made to Canada and most Caribbean nations by dialing a ten-digit number without dialing an 011 exchange, it is not true that the indispensable feature of an international call is a number with more than ten digits. Further, the Court noted that with VOIP telephone services, a telephone number is no longer tied to a specific geographic area.
In sum, the Court of Appeals affirmed the Superior Court's Order dismissing the case.
As this case illustrates, because a claim under the CPPA can result in enhanced damages, plus an award of attorney's fees and costs, it is a common practice to challenge the legal sufficiency of such claims with an early dispositive motion, whenever possible -- as the Bank successfully did here. No doubt it was also important to the Bank in this case to knock these claims out early, rather than become mired in extensive electronic discovery concerning its use of overseas calling centers.
It has long been the general rule of Maryland premises liability law that a landlord is not liable for injuries to a tenant or third party caused by defects or dangerous conditions where the landlord, or owner, has completely parted with control of the leased premises. Marshall v. Price, 162 Md. 687, 161 A. 172, 172-73 (Md. 1932). The Maryland Court of Appeals, the highest court of the State of Maryland, has stated the rationale for this rule:
When land is leased to a tenant, the law of property regards the lease as equivalent to a sale of the premises for the term. The lessee acquires an estate in the land, and becomes for the time being both owner and occupier, subject to all of the responsibilities of one in possession, to those who enter upon the land and those outside of its boundaries.
Henley v. Prince George's Cnty., 305 Md. 320, 503 A.2d 1333, 1342 (Md. 1986) (quoting William L. Prosser & Robert E. Keeton, Law of Torts § 63, at 434 (5th ed. 1984)).
Conversely, a landlord owes a duty to the occupant of a leased property or to a third party on the premises if: (1) the landlord controlled the dangerous or defective condition; (2) the landlord knew or should have known of the condition; and (3) the loss suffered was a foreseeable result of that condition. Hemmings v. Pelham Wood Ltd. Liab. Ltd. P'ship, 375 Md. 522, 826 A.2d 443, 452 (Md. 2003). For example, where a landlord has leased premises to multiple tenants, it has a duty to maintain common areas under its control in a reasonably safe condition. E.g., Shields v. Wagman, 350 Md. 666, 714 A.2d 881, 884-85 (Md. 1988); Honolulu Ltd. v. Cain, 244 Md. 590, 224 A.2d 433, 435-436 (Md. 1966). When analyzing a landlord's duty, courts must apply a balancing test, considering the landlord's degree of control and ability to remedy the condition along with the foreseeability of the harm. Matthews v. Amberwood Assocs. Ltd. P'ship, 351 Md. 544, 719 A.2d 119, 129 (Md. 1998).
Where the landowner has totally surrendered possession and control of the premises, that should relieve the landowner of any alleged liability, as a matter of law, for the criminal acts of third parties that took place on the premises after all possession and control passed to the lessee. In Henley v. Prince George's County, 305 Md. 320, 337-338, 503 A.2d 1333 (1986), which arose out of the brutal murder of a child, the Court affirmed the Circuit Court's grant of summary judgment to the owner of the property, on grounds that the owner (a college) had surrendered control of the premises to the county during the period of time involved in the action. See also Rowley v. Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, 305 Md. 456, 464, 505 A.2d 494 (1986)( "The liability of a landowner for injuries received on the land is dependent upon whether the device which caused the injury is in his possession and control. Section 328 of the Restatement defines an owner and occupier of land in terms of a possessor of land. . . .").
Maryland law is clear that liability as an owner of land is defined in terms of possession and control of the property. See Marshall v. Price, supra; Henley, supra; Rowley v. Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, 305 Md. 456, 464, 505 A.2d 494 (1986).
The Maryland Court of Appeals has observed that it is "often overlooked" that it is the possession of property, not the ownership, from which duty flows towards one who comes in contact with the property. See Baltimore Gas & Elec. Co. v. Lane, 338 Md. 34, 44-46 (Md. 1995), overruled on other grounds, Baltimore Gas & Elec. Co. v. Flippo, 348 Md. 680, 694-699 (Md. 1998). The Court in Lane went on to state as follows:
In Rowley, supra, 305 Md. at 464, we said:"In determining whether the City as owner of the Convention Center owed a duty to invitees, we must consider the threshold question of whether the City was in possession and control of the building. The liability of a landowner for injuries received on the land is dependent upon whether the device which caused the injury is in his possession and control. Section 328 [E] of the Restatement defines an owner and occupier of land in terms of a possessor of land…." See also W. Page Keeton et al., Prosser and Keeton on the Law of Torts § 57, at 386 (5th ed. 1984) ("Largely for historical reasons, the rights and liabilities arising out of the condition of land, and activities conducted upon it, have been concerned chiefly with the possession of the land, and this has continued into the present day.") (emphasis added). Possession involves both the present intent to control the object and some ability to control it. Restatement §§ 216, 328 E. See also Rowley, supra, 305 Md. at 464 (quoting Restatement § 328 E); Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., The Common Law 238 (stating that a person has possession when "he has the present intent and power to exclude others").
Lane, 338 Md. at 45-46 (footnotes omitted).
The Maryland Court of Appeals has observed that "A landlord's control over conditions on its premises always has been a critical factor that we consider in determining landlord liability." Hemmings v. Pelham Wood Ltd. Liab. Ltd. P'ship, 375 Md. 522, 537 (Md. 2003). When analyzing a landlord's duty, courts must apply a balancing test, considering the landlord's degree of control and ability to remedy the condition along with the foreseeability of the harm. Matthews v. Amberwood Assocs. Ltd. P'ship, 351 Md. 544, 719 A.2d 119, 129 (Md. 1998). The Court of Appeals has recognized that the duty of an owner of land is limited under the "foreseeability of harm" test, to avoid liability for unreasonably remote consequences. See Rosenblatt v. Exxon Co., U.S.A., 335 Md. 58, 77 (Md. 1994)(prior commercial property owner not liable to subsequent commercial property owner for negligence).
Whether the owner owed any duty to the plaintiff should ordinarily be a question of law for the court, and can often be decided by motion. In order to establish a claim for negligence under Maryland law, a plaintiff must prove that: (1) the defendant owed a duty to the plaintiff; (2) the defendant breached that duty; (3) the plaintiff suffered actual harm; and (4) the harm was proximately caused by the defendant's breach of duty. Grimes v. Kennedy Krieger Inst., Inc., 366 Md. 29, 782 A.2d 807, 841 (Md. 2001). Significantly, "[t]he existence of a duty is a matter of law to be determined by the court . . . ." Bobo v. Maryland, 346 Md. 706, 697 A.2d 1371, 1376 (Md. 1997).
As stated in Hemmings v. Pelham Wood Ltd. Liab. Ltd. P'ship, 367 Md. 522, 536 (Md. 2003):
Because whether one party owed a duty to another requires a legal determination based on statutes, rules, principles, and precedents, it is ordinarily for the court rather than the jury to decide. Valentine, 353 Md. at 549, 727 A.2d at 949 ("The existence of a legal duty is a question of law to be decided by the court."); see also W. Page Keeton, et al., Prosser & Keeton on Torts § 37, at 236 (5th ed., 1984) ("Whether the interest of the plaintiff which has suffered invasion was entitled to legal protection at the hands of the defendant . . . . is entirely a question of law, to be determined by reference to the body of statutes, rules, principles and precedents which make up the law . . .").
In Swartzbaugh v. Encompass Insurance Company of America, No. 100, September Term 2011 (Md. April 25, 2012), the Court held that in the context of a waiver of UM benefits under a Maryland motor vehicle insurance policy, the phrase "first named insured" refers to a person insured under the policy and specifically named in the policy, who acts on behalf of the other insured parties and is designated as such in the policy documents. In so holding, the Court rejected the insured's argument that the "first named insured" literally means the first rated driver listed on the policy.
The compulsory minimum automobile insurance liability limits under Maryland law are currently $30,000 per person for personal injuries, $60,000 aggregate, and $15,000 for property damage. A policy must include UM coverage, which under Maryland law refers both to uninsured as well as under-insured motorists. Under the Maryland Insurance Code, the default limits of UM coverage must be equal to the liability coverage under the policy. However, this level of coverage may be waived in favor of a lower amount that is at least equal to the minimum coverage required by the motor vehicle law. The waiver must be in writing on a form devised by the Maryland Insurance Administration that complies with the applicable statute. Thus, the waiver is supposed to be signed by the "first named insured", as required by statute. However, the statute does not define what the "first named insured" means.
In the Swartzbaugh case, the waiver was signed by Mrs. Swartzbaugh, who handled the family finances with respect to insurance, and who had applied for the insurance. The policy listed three vehicles, and named her husband, herself, and her daughter as drivers. Unfortunately, the daughter was later injured by an under-insured driver while she was riding as a passenger. The daughter challenged the effectiveness of the waiver of UM coverage, on the grounds that Mrs. Swartzbaugh was not in fact the "first named insured" on the policy -- rather, the father was actually the first name listed in a section labeled "Policyholder."
The Court of Appeals rejected this view, finding that name order was not determinative. Rather, the named insureds are entitled to determine who will exercise that choice and serve as primary or first named insured. The MIA waiver form fills that gap be requiring the individual who executes the form to certify his or her status as "first named insured." The Court found that this was preferable to an arbitrary designation of first named insured as whomever's name was typed first on the policy.
In Janet M. Nesse, Trustee v. GMAC Mortgage, LLC, Adversary No. 11-00290 (Bankr. D. Md. Apr. 19, 2012), the Bankruptcy Court considered the issue whether the Trustee could utilize sec. 544(a)(1) or (3) to avoid an equitable lien against property held as tenants by the entireties where only on spouse is a debtor in bankruptcy. The Court concluded that the Trustee cannot rely on sec. 544(a)(1) or (3) to avoid the equitable lien, and that GMAC was entitled to relief under the doctrine of equitable subrogation. The Court granted summary judgment in favor of GMAC.
The GMAC deed of trust was never recorded. However, it was undisputed that the facts made out a prima facie claim under Maryland law of the equitable subrogation of GMAC to the loan and a deed of trust executed in favor of MortgageIT. The Trustee, however, argued that sec. 544(a) allowed her to avoid GMAC's equitable lien and defeat GMAC's equitable subrogation claim. She argued that she had the rights and powers of a judicial lien creditor under sec. 544(a)(1) and a bona fide purchaser of the Property without knowledge of the GMAC deed of trust under sec. 544(a)(3), and that those rights and powers enabled her to defeat GMAC's equitable subrogation claim. The Trustee also argued that the debtor's spouse consented to allowing her to sell the Property, and that consent bolstered the Trustee's standing under sec. 544.
GMAC argued that sec. 544(a) is not available because only the Debtor, and not the spouse, is the subject of this bankruptcy proceeding and the spouse's consent is irrelevant.
The Court found that Maryland law defeats the Trustee's claim. In Maryland, creditors of only one spouse may not reach tenancy by the entireties property for satisfaction of their claims. Property held as tenants by the entireties cannot be taken to satisfy individual debts of a husband and wife. Thus, in Maryland, a "creditor that extends credit to the debtor" could not obtain a judicial lien on property owned as tenants by the entireties. Accordingly, the Trustee could not avoid GMAC's equitable lien armed with the powers of sec. 544(a)(1).
As for sec. 544(a)(3), that section allows the Trustee to avoid an interest avoidable by "a bona fide purchaser of real property ... From the debtor . . . ." However, under Maryland law, there can be no bona fide purchaser of real property from one spouse, where the property is owned in tenancy by the entireties. Section 544(a)(3) cannot give the Trustee the status of a bona fide purchaser of the Property from the Debtor where there is no way, under Maryland law, that anyone could obtain that status.
The consent of the spouse could not give the Trustee the standing of a bona fide purchaser because the Trustee had actual knowledge of GMAC's equitable lien.
Deborah M. Whelihan of Jordan Coyne & Savits, L.L.P. was co-counsel for GMAC Mortgage, LLC in this matter.
In Dorothy M. Tracey v. Anthony K. Solesky, et al., No. 53, Sept. Term 2012 (Md. Apr. 26, 2012), a 4-3 majority opinion, the Maryland Court of Appeals modified the common law liability principles that previously applied and established a strict liability standard against owners and landlords for harboring or control in cases of Pit Bull and/or cross-bred Pit Bull dog attacks on humans on the basis that such animals are inherently dangerous.
A tenant in the defendant landlord's building owed a pit bull that had escaped from pen with only a 4 foot high fence and an open top. The Court described the pen as obviously inadequate. On the day of the attack which gave rise to this action, the pit bull escaped from the pen twice. In the first instance, the pit bull escaped and attacked a boy, however, the owner was apparently able to restrain the dog and put it back in the pen. A short time later, the dog escaped the pen a second time and attacked a young boy, Dominic Solesky, the minor Plaintiff. Dominic was mauled by the dog, and sustained life threatening injuries, having to undergo multiple surgeries, spending seventeen days in the hospital, and one year in rehabilitation.
At the close of the Plaintiff's case, the trial court granted the Defendant landlord's Motion for Judgment, ruling that there was insufficient evidence to permit the issue of common law negligence to be presented to the jury. On appeal, the Court of Special Appeals reversed the decision of the trial court holding that sufficient evidence did exist as to the extent of the landlord's knowledge as to whether the dog was dangerous in respect to the common law standards in dog attack negligence cases for the issue to go to a jury.
When the matter came before the Court of Appeals, the Court stated that the trial court was correct on the state of the common law relating to dog attacks in law in existence at the time. Prior to Tracey, the common law in Maryland was that "in order to render the owner liable in damages to one bitten by his dog, it must be proved not only that the dog was fierce, but that the owner had knowledge that he was fierce", which was a question that had to be determined by a jury. However, deciding that the common law did not reflect the dangerous nature and numerous lawsuits that resulted from dog attacks specifically by pit bull dogs, the Court decided to change the common law.
The Court cited to numerous Maryland cases over the past 100 years involving attacks by pit bulls focusing on the dicta in Matthews v. Amberwood Associates Limited Partnership, Inc., 351 Md. 544, 719 A.2d 119 (1998). The Court also cited several other federal and state cases as well as news articles and other reports detailing the significant number of injuries and fatalities associated with the pit bull breed and the dangers presented by them. In particular, the Court repeatedly cited studies that showed that those injured or killed by dog attacks were disproportionally by pit bulls. Similarly, the Court quoted sources which stated that pit bull attacks, unlike attacks by other dogs, occur more often, are more severe, and are more likely to result in fatalities. Also, pit bulls tend to be stronger than other dogs, often giving no warning signals before attacking, are less willing than other dogs to retreat from an attack, even when they are in considerable pain.
Consequently, by modifying Maryland's common law standard for negligence in dog attack cases, the Court held it was pit bulls are inherently dangerous activity for which landlords may be held strictly liable, stating "When an owner or a landlord is proven to have knowledge of the presence of a pit bull or cross-bred pit bull (as both the owner and landlord did in this case) or should have had such knowledge, a prima facie case is established. It is not necessary that the landlord (or the pit bull's owner) have actual knowledge that the specific pit bull involved is dangerous." Tracey at 8.
Accordingly, Maryland common law now finds the owner or landlord is strictly liable for the injuries inflicted in a pit bull attack if a plaintiff proves that the landlord knew or had reason to know the dog being kept on the premise was a pit bull or cross-bred pit bull mix.
Judges Greene, Harrell, and Barbera dissented from the Majority's ruling in part because it makes the issue of whether a dog is actually harmless, or the owner or landlord has any reason to know that the dog is dangerous, irrelevant to the standard of strict liability. Rather, liability will attach solely on the basis of the breed of the dog. The dissent was also critical of the Majority for grounding its ruling upon the perceptions about a particular breed of dog, rather than upon adjudicated facts showing that the responsible party possessed the requisite knowledge of the animal's inclination to do harm, thereby transforming a clear factual question into a legal question in an effort to create liability on the part of the landlord.
A recent Maryland Court of Special Appeals decision, Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority v. Williams, 2012 Md. App. LEXIS 46 (Md. Ct. Spec. App. 2012) has clarified the status of the law in Maryland with respect to the causal relationship required to demonstrate that a second injury (which is not physically related to the original injury, such as where a knee injury causes back pain) is causally related to an original injury, and thereby compensable.
Jan Williams, the claimant, was a mechanic for WMATA and was working for his employer in 2008 when he injured his back and left knee on the job. In March of 2009, Mr. Williams was injured while returning from lunch to physical rehabilitation for the first injury when a driver backed into him, causing injury to Williams' right knee. The Maryland Workers' Compensation Commission found the second injury to be causally related to the original injury, and the Maryland Circuit Court for Prince George's County affirmed that finding. However, the Court of Special Appeals reversed, and found that the second injury was not causally related to the original injury.
WMATA relied upon a 1996 Maryland Court of Appeals decision, Mackin v. Harris, 342 Md. 1 (1996) in support of its assertion that the second injury was not causally related to the original injury. In Mackin, the employee had slipped and fallen on a patch of ice on his way to obtain physical therapy for a work-related injury. Id. at p. 2-3. The Mackin court noted that for a subsequent injury to be compensable, it must be the "direct and material result of a compensable primary injury." Id. at 7. The Mackin court went on to note that while Professor Lex. K. Larson, a noted authority in the field of Workers Compensation law, advocated a "but-for causation" approach to the issue, the Mackin court felt this was too broad a standard, and that acceptance of that standard "leads to rather extraordinary results." Id. at p. 9.
The Williams court found that while the Prince George's County Circuit Court had utilized Mackin in its analysis of the issue, the Circuit Court had missed the fact that the Mackin court advocated for a much more narrow standard-- namely, that the subsequent injury must have been a "direct causal connection" between the original compensable injury and the subsequent injury in order to have been proximately caused by the original injury. 2012 Md. App. LEXIS at p. 11. Using that standard, the Williams court concluded that Mr. Williams second injury directly resulted from a cause unrelated to the first injury-- namely, the driver's actions in striking Mr. Williams with his car in the parking lot. Id. at p. 12. Because the driver's actions had no connection whatsoever to the original injury, there was no proximate cause between the original injury and the subsequent injury. (Had the same situation been presented using the "but-for" standard of causation, the claim would arguably have been compensable-- as but for the original injury, Mr. Williams would not have been in the parking lot and would not have been struck.)
While the Court reversed the Circuit Court's findings, it remanded the matter in order to resolve a different issue-- whether the subsequent injury would be compensable as a new work-related injury, standing alone. As such, the matter was remanded to the Maryland Workers' Compensation Commission to determine that issue.

Sound — 9
This is a live album by Shinedown with two parts. The First is an electric version of their songs. It features 17 songs. There is also an accompanying live DVD included. This album was recorded on their Carnival Of Madness tour. The album starts off with a short intro and then "The Sound Of Madness" and finishes off with "Second Change", with a great song line up in between. The Second part is what I found most intriguing. While a lot of bands do a "unplugged" show sometime in their career, Shinedown done it very interesting. The second disc is a live more acoustic version of their songs. They use primarily acoustic guitar, but don't loose the other instruments and showmanship of their live shows. This part was recorded and filmed in Kansas City.
Lyrics — 9
Brent Smith has a very powerful voice and great lyrics to his songs. What I love most about this CD/DVD combo is on the second DVD (the acoustic set). In between songs he adds story telling to the show. Its a great insight into how each song was created and its meaning. Its a great experience to get deeper into the artist head and what their ameans to them. He also tells about his life, son, his battle with addiction, helping save a friend and more.
Overall Impression — 9
Overall the album is very well put together. I believe this is their best album so far. I know that Shinedown doesn't always get the best reviews lately, but I was very impressed with this record. Most of all it is at a great value bringing together two styles of a live show on both CD and DVD.

"How are you doing?"
"I'm good."
"You look a little pale. Everything okay?"
"I'm just tired."
It's like the script that never ends. "Tired" has become a stand-in adjective for everything from angry to distracted. Feeling overwhelmed? "I'm just tired." Experiencing devastating trauma? "Just tired." Mad as a hornet? "Just tired."
It's bullshit, and I'm gonna stop.
Most of the time, I'm actually pretty happy. I have a good life. I have a beautiful apartment, a strong and smart daughter, a healthy relationship with a devoted man, and I'm in pretty decent shape. On average, I'm a happy, energetic individual.
But on the days when the stars aren't as sparkly, I'm going to be honest about it. When I'm sad, I'm going to say so. When I've gone through something difficult, I'm going to be real, or just tell people I'd rather not discuss it. I'm over using "tired" as a catch-all term for "experiencing an emotion that I assume you don't care to hear about."
That said, today I am actually, properly sleepy, so I'm gonna go get more coffee. Ta!

ETSI fends off NFV fragmentation as industry groups vye for influence
Carrier network virtualization is one of the few technologies in the history of the telecoms industry which has become 'real' more quickly than expected. On the mobile side, the typical pattern is to proclaim the 'year of' an emerging standard at least three years running, before it actually becomes mainstream – the kind of approach which feeds the Gartner hype cycle. However, while virtualization of data centers and some enterprise network elements is well established, applying that approach to a carrier network appeared to be a massive mountain to climb when it was first mooted. Yet, with ETSI's NFV (Network Functions Virtualization) initiative as the catalyst and a rare point of near-consensus, this architecture is actually becoming real. It is in commercial products and even a few commercial deployments in some parts of the network, including the packet core and CPE, and on the horizon, it will be an integral part of 4G evolution and of 5G.
Perhaps this experience shows that virtualization is fulfilling a genuine and urgent need to change the economics and the behavior of carrier networks, whereas too many conventional network technologies exist mainly to prolong the life of an ageing carrier business model and therefore of the vendors whose business was built on that. Deconstructing the network from transport to CPE to reduce cost; allocating resources where they are needed with infinite flexibility; supporting vast numbers of use cases and service providers with different 'slices' of capacity; moving intelligence and data processing to the extreme edge to save resources – all these are rapidly becoming accepted as hallmarks of the new network, and essential to the future health of operators old and new. And they all rely on virtualization, and usually software-defined networking and orchestration too.

i bought this sword for my brother for his birthday and its an awsome DISPLAY sword......DISPLAY SWORD....if you order this dont go swinging it around cause the leather will come off and it will fall apart.
my First purchase and i am very shock at how quick i got the sword and the way it looked AWESOME !!!
Just got it, and im iVery impressed. I had excellent service, and the sword arrived right on time. Its completely dull, but the finish on the blade is amazingly smooth. in the picture you cant really make out what the blade or hilt engravings are, so i was worried they might not show well on the sword. But it looks Great, with clean, clear pictures. i will be buying from Trueswords again for sure.
This is a very nice sword! Came really fast and packed very well. Couldn't ask for any thing better. Great service from every point of view!
this sword is totally awesome, it is much bigger than I thought it was going to be. The engravings are great and very visible. It only took 3 days for it to ship to me. The handle is very sturdy and the blade isnt to sharp because it is mostly for display. It is a little heavy but it isnt to heavy. I think there is no down side to this sword

The Basics of the new navigation, and FlickerDecember 13th, 2011 |
So, the new navigation system is in place, minus the needed graphics, formatting, and descriptions. I'll start updating the long and short pages the moment Flicker page 2 is up.
On that note, the short story Flicker has begun! Page 1 is up, and page 2 is 80% finished, and will be up this evening.

Nail Your Eye Makeup in 2 Minutes

But now I am back, I would like to kick-start this week with something that can really speed up your makeup routine, aka an extra five minutes of snooze in the morning or a quick touch up before date night, anyone?

Neuroshima Hex is a rare instance where I would go as far as describing a game as being perfect, but it really is, a perfect two-player, head-to-head, light strategy. The artwork is excellent, the production quality is beautiful and the game is elegantly simple to play but complex to master. It takes all of 10 minutes to learn how to play the game, and about 15-30 minutes to play it, but the real depth is in the strategy and can vastly playing depending on who you play. The only thing that stops me giving the game a 5 is that it is suggested for 2-4 players. 2 is perfect, but as you add more players elements of luck take higher precedence in determining the winner.

Hysterectomy? At Glenwood, You Have Options.
Did you know that one in every three women undergoes a hysterectomy prior to her 60th birthday? With figures like that, our women's care team believes in providing the West Monroe community with options – the very best options.
Surgeons at Glenwood Regional Medical Center are proud to offer minimally invasive, robotically assisted hysterectomies through the da Vinci Surgical System. da Vinci is a revolutionary, state-of-the-art system that allows the surgeon to perform complex operations with more control, precision, and better imaging technology.
Open Abdominal Hysterectomy
Despite technological developments, the majority of hysterectomies performed in the United States today are open abdominal hysterectomies. Using this method, the surgeon makes a 5-7 inch-long incision across the abdomen, through which the uterus is removed.
Vaginal Hysterectomy
In a vaginal hysterectomy, the surgeon makes a small incision in the vagina, through which the uterus is removed. There is no visible scarring following this procedure. This method may not be an option for a woman with a narrow pubic arch, severe endometriosis, or scar tissue (e.g. C-section).
Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
In a laparoscopic hysterectomy, 3 to 5 small incisions are made on the abdomen, through which surgical instruments and an endoscope are inserted. In many areas of the country, a laparoscopic hysterectomy may be a patient's best option.
da Vinci Hysterectomy
Women in the West Monroe area have an option that keeps going where laparoscopic surgery leaves off: da Vinci hysterectomy. Using the da Vinci Surgical System, the surgeon makes miniscule 1-2 centimeter incisions. Sitting just a few feet away from the operating table, the surgeon uses small controls to maneuver the surgical system's robotic arms. The surgeon can rotate tools a full 360º, and can view the inside of the body in 3D on high-definition monitors. With da Vinci, your surgeon has the ability to do things that are impossible for the human hand.

Hey y'all, Caitlin here. Recently, I auditioned for a role in "Stand In The Light," a live-action remake of Dating A Team Magma Girl, directed by Celosia Dias & starring Aliana Akebi. I am pleased to announce that I have been accepted! I will play the role of Cynthia Shirona. Here's some info about her...
Cynthia Shirona is a contest star in Verdantuf Town that is meek & mild by nature. Her trainer class is a Valley Girl & her favorite color is teal green. She befriends Caroline & the two join forces to stop Team Aqua from destroying the world. Of course, she has some help with that, too!
I am very excited to see all of you in Stand In The Light!

Hi, it's Celosia! PokeShipping Wikia is a place for canon and fanon PokeShippers alike. I happen to be one of them. However, I can't manage users alone. That is why I need the help of admins, bureaucrats, rollbacks, moderators and chat moderators. Don't know what those are! I'll tell you all about them!
- Admins are not neccessarily evil team leaders, like me. They keep the wiki looking sharp, while also dealing out punishment and improving the overall look of the wiki.
- Bureaucrats are a little bit higher and tend to work alongside the founder. They oversee anything and everything and also promote admins.
- Rollbacks are editing helpers. They go over mistakes, add categories and generally improve the look of pages on this wiki.
- Moderators ensure tha…

Since I've been home from my year abroad in Germany, I've been getting a little spendy in the makeup department. It was my 21st birthday at the end of June and a few of these were either presents or bought with birthday money. As a student, there's no way I could normally buy all these products within the same month so I really thought about which products would be worth the money and be investment pieces in my makeup bag.

Get something else. These aren't comfy at all. They serve their purpose but I wouldn't use this for long periods of time. Buy something better.Read More
I bought three of these--one fore home, one for office and one for purse. After a few months I only have one that still works. The on/off switch is very delicate and when winding the cords up often slips apart exposing the wires. This happened to the first one within one week. the second one after 2 months. I'm not impressed.Read More
This headset did not perform the way I expected at all. It did not fit my (or my friends' who I used as guinea pigs) ears well The sound quality was average to not good. There is also no volume control on the headset - something which I may have overlooked prior to my purchase. I eventually had to get another set of in-ears especially for when I go jogging.Read More
good relationship between price and quality..........................................................................Read More
I was incredibly impressed with this headset. I've tried many different ones and paid average of $20-30 for each one. I had past issues of the bud not fitting right in my ear (being too large or falling out constantly) and also had issues with the volume not being sufficient. The last one I owned, I could hardly hear the person on the other end. This headset fits perfectly in my ear and stays there. This is good when you're driving and don't want to constantly be picking it up and putting it back in your ear. The sound is also very good. I have to turn some people DOWN because it comes through so well. You really can't beat the value! I am ordering one more for myself (backup in case I misplace it) and two for my husband.Read More
For an inexpensive set of headphones, these work well.Read More
.......I couldn't be happier, works for IPOD too!!Read More
It's not bad for the price to have a hand free headset. The only dislike I have is when wearing both ear buds, it's kind of too loud for me and one side is good enough.Read More
Great deal for the price. I got these to go with my I-phone,because the ones that came with it would not stay in my ear. These stay in with no problem.Read More

Southern Sudan will hold a referendum on independence, which was guaranteed by the 2005 comprehensive peace agreement which has been referenced. The C.P.A. ended Africa's bloodiest civil war, a war which took almost two million lives and displaced four million. Yet the risk of descending into war again seems too real...
On September 22, Majority Leader Hoyer and Rep. Don Payne, Chair of the Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa and Global Health, led a Special Order on Sudan. The goal was to underscore Congressional support for a timely and fair referenda on Southern independence in January, to discuss the continued importance of full implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, and to make clear that Congress remains focused on ending the violence in Darfur.
