Docomomo Belgium and Docomomo Switzerland have organized a conference about the restoration of Buvette d'Evian (Novarina, J. Prouvé, S. Ketoff, 1955-57). This conference will be held on the 24th April 2019, and has the collaboration of ULB Faculté d'Architecture.
Completed in 1957, the Nouvelle Buvette de la Source Cachat – or Pump Room for the Cachat springs – at Évian-les-Bains is ranked as a twentieth century icon. The building was the product of fruitful collaboration by a team capable of combining tremendous plastic sensitivity with precise structural rigour: Maurice Novarina, an experienced architect; the "construction genius" Jean Prouvé; and architect-engineer Serge Ketoff. From their collective exploit came a technical object of undoubted originality, a daring performance delivered with gusto – this was much more than just industrial materials made to look good. Precision mechanics rather than Meccano, this masterpiece so cherished by Jean Prouvé is an impeccably calibrated assemblage of very different elements and components. The Buvette seems to inhabit perfectly the urban landscape of Évian, on the shores of Lake Geneva.
With the release of the initial monograph, this conference presents research done by the Laboratory for Techniques and Preservation of Modern Architecture at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne as part of the analysis undertaken prior to the program of conservation.


If you've read "All Your Base Are Belong to Us (How 50 Years of Videogames Conquered Pop Culture)," you probably know that I deal with a chronic thing called Crohn's Disease. I've lived with this illness every day since I was a child, and while it's manageable, I'm not going to say it's easy. But beyond having a great doctor, one thing has really helped: that's a very small amount of marijuana at night to stave off the pain.
So I was really interested to see how Weedcraft, Inc., a new marijuana management simulation game with a striking narrative, would deal with the social justice issues of marijuana. It's first game Devolver Digital has created from an idea's germination onward toward today's release, and Devolver hired Scott Alexander to research and write narrative. Alexander is a former New York Videogame Critics Circle member who's moved on from journalism to write thoughtful, dramatic game narrative often tempered by a tasteful humor.
In our podcast, Alexander talked about how the violent games we often love have no problem getting to market. But, he admits, an honest and entertaining narrative revealing the pros and cons of pot through a sim game has had difficulties getting on platforms beyond Steam and GOG. In other words, it's been slog to get this game out to fans.
We also discuss the game's varied yet chill music and the voluminous research done to create Weedcraft, Inc. All told, it's a fascinating look into the process of game creation during a time of upheaval in this country – and during a time of misinformation regarding the legalization of marijuana. We don't discuss all the nuances of who should get licenses (often it's not those who live in the underserved areas we travel to for our nonprofit as we mentor as journalists). And we don't talk about the every bit of politics about legalization and decriminalization. But we do get into a fair amount of these issues.
Enjoy, and learn a little, too!

As climate change continues to push up average temperatures across the state, we can expect Dallas to feel the heat even more acutely than its rural neighbors. This is because of what's known as the "urban heat island effect." It's a pretty straightforward concept. Concrete absorbs heat, so places where it is densely concentrated along with other building materials (big cities) are going to be up to several degrees warmer than greener areas, where trees (more specifically, the process of evaporative transpiration) help cool the air.
Today in Denver, voters will decide on a more dramatic measure to keep the city cool. The "green roof" initiative, put on the ballot by environmental activists who wrangled up the necessary signatures, would require any new building projects of 25,000 square feet or more to include rooftop gardens or solar panels. The rule would also apply to any existing buildings undergoing renovations or expansions.
Critics say installing those gardens or solar panels would be too costly and burdensome for building developers, owners, and their tenants. A case of government overreach, in other words.
Toronto has adopted its own strong green roof laws, while cities like Seattle and Austin, among others, offer incentives to encourage dense developments with green roofs. Dallas has a green building ordinance with certain environmental requirements for new buildings, mostly designed to help conserve energy and water, but nothing near as bold as what's being considered in Denver.

Emekekwue v. Offor Doc. 17 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA BERTRAM EMEKEKWUE, Plaintiff v. CHINWE OFFOR, Defendant : : : : : : : : : CIVIL NO. 1:11-CV-01747 Judge Sylvia H. Rambo MEMORANDUM Before the court is Defendant's amended motion to dismiss Plaintiff's claims for libel, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent infliction of emotional distress, and punitive damages, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). (Doc. 12.) The parties have briefed the issues, and the matter is ripe for disposition. For the reasons stated below, the motion will be granted in part and denied in part. I. Background A. Facts1 Invoking the court's diversity jurisdiction,2 Plaintiff, Bertram Emekekwue, brought this action as a result of comments made by Defendant, As required when ruling on a motion to dismiss, the court accepts as true all well-pleaded factual allegations in the complaint. Fowler v. UPMC Shadyside, 578 F.3d 203, 210 (3d Cir. 2009). 1 Plaintiff is a resident of Pennsylvania (Compl. ¶ 4) and Defendant is a resident of New York (Id. ¶ 5). The amount in controversy exceeds $75,000.00. (Id. ¶ 1.) 2 Dockets.Justia.com Chinwe Offor, in an e-mail dated July 19, 2011. (Doc. 8, Compl. ¶ 6.) The e-mail regarded the Obosi Community Association of New York Inc.'s ("OCA")3 consideration of Plaintiff's application for financial benefits following the death of Plaintiff's ex-wife, Vanessa Emekekwue. (Id. ¶ 7; Def.'s Amended Mot. to Dismiss, Doc. 12 at ¶ 5.) Plaintiff alleges that the e-mail recipients included OCA members and various other members of the public located in Pennsylvania and elsewhere. (Compl. ¶ 10.) In the first four paragraphs of the e-mail, Defendant argues against the payment of death benefits to Bertram and Vanessa Emekekwue's children. (See Doc. 8-1.) The arguments were based on Defendant's interpretation of the OCA constitution. In the final paragraph of the e-mail, Defendant goes on to state: In conclusion, let's call a spade a spade. Mr. Bertram Emekekwue took away Vanessa's medical insurance which would have enabled her to continue her medical treatment at Johns Hopkins University where they were familiar with her cancer. She had no choice but to go to the State hospital in Pennsylvania. He was very proud of this and had no problems informing all and sundry how she would soon die. It's pathetic that he wants to gain According to the OCA website, the "[OCA] was established in 1994 for the purpose of providing educational opportunities to boys and girls of Obosi, as well as improving the standard of living at Obosi. OCA's sources of funds are donations from individuals and corporations. OCA is a charitable organization with IRS tax exempt status. Its' membership covers New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania areas." Obosi Community Association of New York Area, Inc., http://obosinynj.org/ (last visited Apr. 17, 2012). 3 2 financially from her death. Please stop begging OCA and ODA to pay you for your ex-wife's death. ENOUGH ALREADY. (Doc. 8-1.) Although not specifically identified in the amended complaint, it appears that this is the primary paragraph to which Plaintiff objects. Plaintiff argues that the e-mail contains malicious, false statements that harmed his reputation, mental and physical health, and economic status. (Compl. ¶¶ 13, 31.) Plaintiff specifically contends that Defendant's false statements led readers to believe that he was the cause of his ex-wife's death and that Plaintiff attempted to extort money from OCA. (Id. ¶ 7.) Plaintiff also argues that Defendant's statements would falsely lead a reader to believe that Plaintiff bragged about his ex-wife's death. (Doc. 14 at 3.) Plaintiff further claims that the e-mail has caused him and his immediate family to seek counseling. (Compl. ¶ 32.) B. Procedural History Plaintiff filed an initial complaint with this court on September 20, 2011. (Doc. 1.) On December 7, 2011, Defendant filed a motion to dismiss (Doc. 5) along with a brief in support, (Doc. 6). Plaintiff filed an amended complaint on December 16, 2011. (Doc. 8.) On December 31, 2011, Defendant re-filed an 3 amended motion to dismiss the amended complaint.4 (Doc. 12.) Defendant filed a brief in support of the amended motion to dismiss on January 3, 2012. (Doc. 13.) On January 25, 2012, Plaintiff filed a brief in opposition. (Doc. 14.) Defendant has not filed a reply brief, and the time to do so has now expired. Accordingly, the motion is now ripe for disposition. II. Legal Standard When presented with a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim, the court "must accept all of the complaint's well-pleaded facts as true, but may disregard any legal conclusions," Fowler v. UPMC Shadyside, 578 F.3d 203, 210 (3d Cir. 2009), and ultimately must determine "whether the facts alleged in the complaint are sufficient to show that the plaintiff has a 'plausible claim for relief.'" Id. at 211 (quoting Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 679 (2009)). The complaint must do more than allege the plaintiff's entitlement to relief; it must "show such an entitlement with its facts." Fowler, 578 F.3d at 211 (citations omitted). As the Supreme Court instructed in Iqbal, "[w]here the well-pleaded facts do not permit the court to infer Defendant's initial motion to dismiss, and the memorandum in support thereof, contained arguments for dismissal based on lack of personal jurisdiction under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(2) and failure to state a claim under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). (Docs. 5 & 6). Defendant's amended motion to dismiss did not re-raise the Rule 12(b)(2) personal jurisdiction arguments. (Docs. 12 & 13.) Because the initial motion to dismiss is considered moot, the court will only address the arguments presented in the amended motion to dismiss. 4 4 more than the mere possibility of misconduct, the complaint has alleged—but it has not 'show[n]'—'that the pleader is entitled to relief.'" Iqbal, 556 U.S. at 679 (quoting Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a) (alterations in original).) In other words, a claim has "facial plausibility when the plaintiff pleads factual content that allows the court to draw the reasonable inference that the defendant is liable for the misconduct alleged." Id. at 678 (citing Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 555 (2007)). "Threadbare recitals of the elements of a cause of action, supported by mere conclusory statements do not suffice." Id. "To decide a motion to dismiss, courts generally consider only the allegations contained in the complaint, exhibits attached to the complaint and matters of public record." Pension Benefit Guar. Corp. v. White Consol. Indus., Inc., 998 F.2d 1192, 1196 (3d Cir. 1993) (citations omitted); see also Sands v. McCormick, 502 F.3d 263, 268 (3d Cir. 2007). The court may consider "undisputedly authentic document[s] that a defendant attaches as an exhibit to a motion to dismiss if the plaintiff's claims are based on the [attached] document[s]." Pension Benefit, 998 F.2d at 1196. Additionally, "documents whose contents are alleged in the complaint and whose authenticity no party questions, but which are not physically attached to the pleading, may be considered." Pryor v. Nat'l Collegiate Athletic Ass'n, 288 F.3d 548, 560 (3d Cir. 2002) (citation omitted); see also U.S. Express Lines, Ltd. v. 5 Higgins, 281 F.3d 383, 388 (3d Cir. 2002) ("Although a district court may not consider matters extraneous to the pleadings, a document integral to or explicitly relied upon in the complaint may be considered without converting the motion to dismiss into one for summary judgment.") (internal quotation omitted). However, the court may not rely on other parts of the record in making its decision. Jordan v. Fox, Rothschild, O'Brien & Frankel, 20 F.3d 1250, 1261 (3d Cir. 1994). III. Discussion Defendant has moved to dismiss each of Plaintiff's substantive claims, which include state law claims for libel, intentional infliction of emotional distress (IIED), negligent infliction of emotional distress (NIED), and punitive damages. Defendant also moves to dismiss Plaintiff's requests for specific damages and attorneys' fees. The court will address each claim in turn.5 As a Federal Court exercising diversity jurisdiction, we are obligated to apply the substantive law of Pennsylvania to this dispute. Chamberlain v. Giampapa, 210 F.3d 154, 158 (3d Cir. 2000). 5 6 A. Libel Plaintiff argues that the false statements contained in Defendant's e-mail harmed his reputation and caused him personal, financial, physical, economic, mental, and emotional harm. (Compl. ¶¶ 7, 8, 13, 31.) Specifically, Plaintiff argues that Defendant knowingly and maliciously made false statements which would lead a reader to believe that Plaintiff was the cause of his ex-wife's death, that Plaintiff bragged that he helped facilitate his ex-wife's death, and that Plaintiff attempted to extort money from the OCA. (Compl. ¶ 7; Doc. 14 at 7.) Defendant argues for dismissal of Plaintiff's libel claim on three grounds. Defendant first argues that Plaintiff's failure to specify which portions of the e-mail are defamatory is fatal to Plaintiff's claim. (Doc. 13 at 4.) Second, Defendant argues that the court, as a matter of law, cannot find the e-mail capable of a defamatory meaning. (Id.) Lastly, Defendant argues that even if the court finds the statements to be defamatory, the statements were protected by privilege. (Id. at 6, 7.) For the reasons that follow, each of these arguments is rejected. Under article I, section 1 of the Pennsylvania Constitution, a person's interest in their reputation has been afforded the same level of protection as their life, liberty and property. Pa. Const. art. 1, § 1; see Sprague v. Walter, 543 A.2d 1078, 1084 (Pa. 1988). Furthermore, article I, section 11 declares that, "Every man for an 7 injury done to him in his lands, goods, person or reputation shall have remedy by due course of law." Pa. Const. art. 1, § 11. The remedy provided under Pennsylvania substantive law is an action in tort for defamation. Sprague, 543 A.2d at 1084. "Defamation, of which libel, slander, and invasion of privacy are methods, is the tort of detracting from a person's reputation, or injuring a person's character, fame, or reputation, by false and malicious statements."6 Joseph v. Scranton Times L.P., 959 A.2d 322, 334 (Pa. Super. Ct. 2008) (citing Zartman v. Lehigh Cnty. Humane Soc., 482 A.2d 266, 268 (Pa. Super. Ct. 1984)). An action for defamation serves three functions: 1) giving the injured party a public vindication of their good name; 2) providing compensation to the plaintiff for injury to their reputation, for pecuniary loss and for emotional distress; and 3) punishing the defendant in order to deter the defendant and others from publishing defamatory statements in the future. See Gaetano v. Sharon Herald Co., 231 A.2d 753, 755 (Pa. 1967); see also Moyer v. Phillips, 341 A.2d 441, 444 (Pa. 1975). The Pennsylvania legislature has codified the elements necessary to prove a defamation claim at 42 Pa. Cons. Stat. § 8343. In an action for defamation, the plaintiff has the burden of proving: 1) the defamatory character of the Libel, the type of defamation at issue here, is defined in Black's Law Dictionary as "[a] defamatory statement expressed in a fixed medium, esp[ecially] writing but also a picture, sign or electronic broadcast." Black's Law Dictionary 998 (9th ed. 2009). 6 8 communication, 2) its publication by the defendant, 3) its application to the plaintiff, 4) the understanding by the recipient of its defamatory meaning, 5) the understanding by the recipient of it as intended to be applied to the plaintiff, 6) special harm resulting to the plaintiff from its publication, and 7) abuse of a conditionally privileged occasion. 42 Pa. Cons. Stat. § 8343(a). As a threshold inquiry, and as a question of law, the court must first determine whether the communication was capable of a defamatory meaning. Tucker v. Phila. Daily News, 848 A.2d 113, 123-124 (Pa. 2004); accord Bakare v. Pinnacle Health Hosp., Inc., 469 F. Supp. 2d 272, 298 (M.D. Pa. 2006). To determine whether a statement is capable of a defamatory meaning, the court must consider whether the statement "tends so to harm the reputation of another as to lower him in the estimation of the community or to deter third parties from associating or dealing with him." Remick v. Manfredy, 238 F.3d 248, 261 (3d Cir. 2001); accord Tucker, 848 A.2d at 124. In making this determination, the court must construe the statement in light of the whole factual context in which it appears, "and each word must be read in the context of all the other words." Kurowski v. Burroughs, 994 A.2d 611, 617 (Pa. Super. Ct. 2010); see also Tucker, 848 A.2d at 124. In deciding whether the 9 statement can fairly and reasonably be construed to have the libelous meaning ascribed to it, Pennsylvania courts have applied the following test: The test is the effect the article is fairly calculated to produce, the impression it would naturally engender, in the minds of the average person among whom it is intended to circulate. The words must be given by judges and juries the same signification that other people are likely to attribute to them. Kurowski, 994 A.2d at 617 (citations omitted). Further, "[i]t is not enough that the victim of the [statements] be embarrassed or annoyed, he must have suffered the kind of harm which has grievously fractured his standing in the community of respectable society." Tucker, 848 A.2d at 124 (quoting Scott-Taylor, Inc. v. Stokes, 229 A.2d 733, 734 (Pa. 1967)). Defendant's first argument, that Plaintiff's libel claim must be dismissed because Plaintiff has not identified any specific challenged statement, fails. The complaint alleges that readers of the e-mail drew negative inferences from certain language contained in the e-mail and from the e-mail as a whole. For instance, paragraph seven of the complaint cites language from the e-mail in which Defendant asked the readers of the e-mail to call "a spade a spade." (Doc. 8 ¶ 7.) Plaintiff alleges that this specific language carried defamatory meaning when read in context with the remainder of the email. The court is satisfied that Plaintiff, by 10 identifying the allegedly libelous e-mail and referring to specific statements therein, has sufficiently identified the allegedly libelous language, and therefore dismissal is not warranted on this ground. Defendant's second argument, that Plaintiff's libel claim must be dismissed because the e-mail is not capable of a defamatory meaning, also fails. Plaintiff has pleaded sufficient facts to support the inference that the e-mail was capable of a defamatory meaning. For example, Plaintiff has alleged that Defendant's e-mail was disseminated to members and non-members of OCA, both in Pennsylvania and elsewhere. (Id. ¶¶ 10, 11.) Plaintiff has further alleged that Defendant's false statements led readers to believe that Plaintiff contributed to his wife's death, bragged about it, and attempted to gain financially from it. (Id. ¶ 7; Doc. 14, at 7.) These allegations, taken as true, could lead to the reasonable inference in the minds of the average person that Plaintiff contributed to and benefitted from his wife's death. Such inferences could harm the reputation of Plaintiff so as to lower him in the estimation of the community or deter third parties from associating or dealing with him. Thus, Plaintiff's claim that the e-mail was capable of a defamatory meaning is facially plausible, and the court will not dismiss the libel claim on this ground. 11 Likewise, Defendant's third argument, that Plaintiff's libel claim must be dismissed based upon the privileged nature of the e-mail, fails. A conditional privilege arises in a defamation action "when the communication involves an interest of the publisher, the recipient, a third-party, or the public." Simms v. Exeter Architectural Prods., Inc., 916 F. Supp. 432, 436 (M.D. Pa. 1996). "Such a privilege attaches when the statement is made on a proper occasion, in a proper manner, for a legitimate reason of the speaker, and is based on reasonable cause." Bakare, 469 F. Supp. 2d at 298. However, this conditional privilege is forfeited "if the plaintiff demonstrates that the defendant abused the privilege by communicating in a reckless or negligent manner or by exceeding the necessary scope of the communication." Id. At this point, it would be premature to dismiss the libel claim based on the defense of privilege. Defendant argues that the defamation claim should be dismissed because of the privileged nature of the statement, specifically because (1) the statement was made during a conditionally privileged occasion (i.e. the internal deliberations of the OCA concerning Plaintiff's applications for financial benefits) and (2) the statement was published in the protection of the public interest (i.e. the public interest of protecting OCA funds, or the greater public interest of protecting tax-exempt organizations). (Doc. 13 at 7-8.) 12 Plaintiff argues in his opposition brief that Defendant was not required to send a response to the OCA executive board, and that in the alternative "Defendant's e-mail went beyond the scope of responding to Plaintiff's application but went into the realm of defaming him." (Doc. 14 at 8.) Plaintiff further argues that even if the situation gave rise to a conditional privilege, Defendant forfeited the privilege through her malicious or negligent actions. (Id. at 9.) Plaintiff's assertions, when taken as true, could lead to the conclusion that either Defendant's asserted conditional privilege does not apply here because Defendant did not have reasonable cause to publish the statements in the e-mail, or that the privilege has been forfeited through abuse. Discovery is likely necessary to resolve these issues. Defendant's second privilege argument, that the statement was made in the public interest, leaves questions regarding Defendant's intent. Such issues are likewise not proper for dismissal at this stage of the litigation. Thus, the claim will not be dismissed based on either of the privilege defenses asserted. B. Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has never formally recognized the tort of intentional infliction of emotional distress ("IIED"). See, e.g., Taylor v. Albert Einstein Med. Ctr., 754 A.2d 650, 652 (Pa. 2000). However, Pennsylvania 13 courts typically refer to the Restatement (Second) of Torts § 46 as establishing the minimum requirements for an IIED claim. See id. Section 46 provides, in part: "One who by extreme and outrageous conduct intentionally or recklessly causes severe emotional distress to another is subject to liability for such emotional distress, and if bodily harm to the other results from it, for such bodily harm." Restatement (Second) of Torts § 46 (1977). Thus, an action for IIED requires that: (1) the conduct be extreme and outrageous; (2) the conduct be intentional or reckless; (3) the conduct causes severe emotional distress; and (4) the distress be severe. Brownstein v. Gieda, 649 F. Supp. 2d 368, 374 (M.D. Pa. 2009) (citing Hoy v. Angelone, 691 A.2d 476, 482 (Pa. Super. 1997.)) Pennsylvania has taken a strict approach to IIED claims. At the pleading stage, the court must "decide as an initial matter whether the conduct at issue can reasonably be regarded as sufficiently extreme to constitute 'outrageousness' as a matter of law." Brownstein, 649 F. Supp. 2d at 374 (citing Smith v. Sch. Dist. of Phila., 112 F. Supp. 2d 417, 427 (E.D. Pa. 2000)). As a matter of law, outrageousness occurs only when "the case is one in which the recitation of the facts to an average member of the community would arouse his resentment against the actor, and lead him to exclaim 'outrageous.'" Id. In order for a finding 14 of outrageousness to occur, "the conduct must be so outrageous in character, and so extreme in degree, as to go beyond all possible bounds of decency, and to be regarded as atrocious and utterly intolerable in a civilized society." Hoy v. Angelone, 720 A.2d 745, 754 (Pa. 1998). Described another way, "[i]t has not been enough that the defendant has acted with an intent which is tortious or even criminal, or that he has intended to inflict emotional distress, or even that his conduct has been characterized by 'malice,' or a degree of aggravation which would entitle the plaintiff to punitive damages for another tort." Field v. Phila. Elec. Co., 565 A.2d 1170, 1183 (Pa. Super. Ct. 1989) (quoting Restatement (Second) of Torts § 46 cmt. d (1977)). Rather, only the most egregious and outrageous conduct has been found to constitute a sufficient basis for IIED claims. Id.7 In the case sub judice, Plaintiff has failed to plead sufficient facts to support a cause of action for IIED. Plaintiff's cause of action is based on the alleged emotional distress suffered from the dissemination of an e-mail to members and non- For example, Pennsylvania courts have found the following as sufficient bases for IIED claims: (1) burying a body in a field after striking and killing the victim and failing to notify authorities or to seek medical assistance, (2) intentionally fabricating records to suggest that plaintiff had killed a third party which led to plaintiff being indicted for homicide, and (3) a team physician releasing medical information to the press that a player was suffering from a fatal disease when he knew the information was false. Hoy, 720 A.2d at 754 (citing Papieves v. Lawrence, 263 A.2d 118 (Pa. 1970); Banyas v. Lower Bucks Hosp., 437 A.2d 1236 (Pa. Super. Ct. 1981); Chuy v. Phila. Eagles Football Club, 595 F.2d 1265, 1273 (3d Cir. 1979)). 7 15 members of the OCA community. Plaintiff further contends that the emotional distress caused by the dissemination of the e-mail was severe and that the distress caused Plaintiff to seek counseling. After a careful review of the contents of the email and the factual scenarios under which plaintiffs have been allowed to recover for IIED in Pennsylvania, the court finds that Plaintiff has not pleaded sufficient facts to give rise to an inference that Defendant's conduct rose to such an extreme level of outrageousness that it would meet the requisite behavioral threshold for an IIED claim under Pennsylvania law. Defendant's action of disseminating the e-mail, even if done with the alleged intent to harm the plaintiff, was not an action which the average person would find so extreme in degree and outrageous in character as to go beyond all possible bounds of decency. Nor would the average person find the contents of the e-mail to be atrocious and utterly intolerable in a civilized society. Because the court does not find the e-mail to be "outrageous" as a matter of law, the IIED claim is dismissed. C. Negligent Infliction of Emotional Distress The Pennsylvania Supreme Court recently reviewed the state of the law concerning negligent infliction of emotional distress ("NIED") claims. See Toney v. Chester Cnty. Hosp., 36 A.3d 83 (Pa. 2011). The court in Toney explained that 16 Pennsylvania has developed three traditional theories for recovery in cases alleging NIED: (1) the impact rule, (2) the "zone of danger" rule, and (3) bystander liability. Id. at 88-89. In the beginning, Pennsylvania utilized the impact rule, which "'barred recovery for fright, nervous shock or mental or emotional distress unless it was accompanied by a physical injury or impact upon the complaining party.'" Id. at 88 (quoting Kazatsky v. King David Mem'l Park, Inc., 527 A.2d 998, 992 (Pa. 1987)). Next, Pennsylvania adopted the "zone of danger" theory of NIED liability, "which provided compensation to those who did not actually suffer a physical impact resulting in emotional distress so long as they were in personal danger of the physical impact." Id. Most recently the Pennsylvania Supreme Court adopted the theory of bystander liability. "The adoption of the bystander liability theory of NIED allow[s] recovery for emotional distress for plaintiffs who witness[] an accident causing serious injury to a close family member, even if the plaintiff [is] not within the zone of danger of physical impact." Id. at 89. Furthermore, in Toney, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court adopted a fourth variation of NIED. The court extended NIED liability to a specific subset of cases in which a pre-existing fiduciary or contractual relationship existed between the plaintiff and the defendant. Id. at 94-95. The court explained that "if an actor 17 has a particular contractual or fiduciary relationship with a victim and it is foreseeable that the actor's carelessness could cause severe emotional harm to the victim, and that harm occurs, a cognizable tort arises which is, in short-form, referred to as breach of a 'contractual or fiduciary duty' not to inflict foreseeable emotional distress upon a victim." Id. at 85, n.1. The complaint fails to plead facts sufficient to support an inference that Plaintiff will be able to prove a set of facts that will support any of the four variations of NIED claims. The first three theories - the impact rule, the "zone of danger" rule, and the theory of bystander liability - involve an actual or threatened physical impact or injury to the plaintiff or a close family member. Plaintiff here does not allege that any physical impact or threat of physical impact ever occurred either to Plaintiff or a close family member. The fourth variation requires a special relationship to exist between the plaintiff and the defendant. Here, although Defendant and Plaintiff were members of the same organization, this association did not create a contractual or fiduciary relationship or otherwise put Defendant in a position where she owed Plaintiff a special duty of care. Accordingly, the NIED claim must be dismissed. D. Punitive Damages 18 Plaintiff has included punitive damages both as an independent claim and in his prayer for relief. Punitive damages are a theory of damages rather than an independent cause of action. See Hutchinson v. Luddy, 870 A.2d 766, 772 (Pa. 2005); see also Kirkbride v. Lisbon Contractors, Inc., 555 A.2d 800, 802 (Pa. 1989). Thus, Plaintiff's claim for punitive damages will be treated as a theory of damages rather than as an independent cause of action. Accordingly, Plaintiff's independent claim for punitive damages will be dismissed. However, this dismissal will not affect Plaintiff's request for punitive damages with regards to the surviving libel claim. E. Damages Defendant has moved to dismiss Plaintiff's claim for $2,000,000 in damages for violating Rule 8.1 of the Local Rules of Civil Procedure for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.8 (Doc. 13 at 8.) Local Rule 8.1 states: The demand for judgment required in any pleading in any civil action pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 8(a)(3) may set forth generally that the party claiming damages is entitled to monetary relief but shall not claim any specific sum where unliquidated Plaintiff did not respond to Defendant's arguments to dismiss the specific request for $2,000,000 dollars in damages or attorneys' fees. 8 19 damages are involved. The short plain statement of jurisdiction, required by Fed.R.Civ.P.8(a)(1), shall set forth any amounts needed to invoke the jurisdiction of the court but no other. L.R. 8.1. Here, Plaintiff has made a specific request for $2,000,000 of unliquidated damages in his prayer for relief. (Compl., Ad Damnum clause). Since the request for a specific amount of unliquidated damages is in direct violation of Local Rule 8.1, that specific dollar claim will be stricken from the complaint without prejudice to the Plaintiff arguing in any subsequent proceedings for any appropriate damages supported by the evidence. See Ball v. Beckley, 2012 WL 175158, at *1 (M.D. Pa. January 20, 2012). Defendant also moves to dismiss Plaintiff's request for attorneys' fees. It is well-settled that Pennsylvania adheres to the American Rule for the recovery of attorneys' fees from an adverse party. Mosaica Acad. Charter Sch. v. Pa. Dep't of Educ., 813 A.2d 813, 822 (Pa. 2002). The American Rule states that a litigant is responsible for their own litigation costs and "cannot recover counsel fees from an adverse party unless there is express statutory authorization, a clear agreement of the parties or some other established exception." Id. Here, Plaintiff neither pleads, nor argues in the brief in opposition, the existence of any express statutory authorization, an agreement of the parties, or some 20 other established exception that would permit an award of attorneys' fees. Nor is the court independently aware of any basis, statutory or otherwise, for an award of attorneys' fees for common law tort actions. Thus, Plaintiff's request for attorneys' fees will be dismissed. 21 IV. Conclusion In accordance with the foregoing discussion, Defendant's motion to dismiss will be granted in part and denied in part. The motion will be granted as to Plaintiff's claims for IIED, NIED, and punitive damages. Defendant's motion to dismiss Plaintiff's libel claim will be denied. Despite the fact that Plaintiff's independent claim for punitive damages is dismissed, Plaintiff may seek punitive damages as an element of damages with respect to the libel claim. Further, the motion to dismiss is granted as to Plaintiff's specific request for $2,000,000 in damages pursuant to Local Rule 8.1, as well as Plaintiff's request for attorneys' fees. An appropriate order will issue. s/Sylvia H. Rambo United States District Judge Dated: May 15, 2012. 22 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA BERTRAM EMEKEKWUE, Plaintiff v. CHINWE OFFOR, Defendant : : : : : : : : : CIVIL NO. 1:11-CV-01747 Judge Sylvia H. Rambo ORDER In accordance with the accompanying memorandum of law, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT Defendant's amended motion to dismiss (Doc. 12) is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART. The motion is GRANTED with regard to Plaintiff's claims for intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent infliction of emotional distress, request for punitive damages, specific request for $2,000,000 in damages, and request for attorneys' fees. The motion is DENIED with regard to Plaintiff's claim for libel. Defendant's original motion to dismiss (Doc. 5) is dismissed as MOOT. s/Sylvia H.

The End of an Era: Cydia App Store Shut Down
Dec 17th, 2018 8:35 AM EST | Link
If you've ever had a jailbroken iOS device you'll be familiar with the Cydia app store. But Cydia's creator Saurik says it's being shut down after a bug was discovered on the platform that put user data at risk.
The reality is that I wanted to just shut down the Cydia Store entirely before the end of the year, and was considering moving the timetable up after receiving the report (to this weekend); this service loses me money and is not something I have any passion to maintain…
Nowadays I'm surprised to hear that people still jailbreak. But back in the day it was a bit more relevant. I remember jailbreaking my 5th gen iPod touch back in 2011.

Remember those Saint Laurent glitter boots that were such a hit last Paris Fashion Week that they sold out instantly when they finally hit the shelves this summer? Well forget about them. They are literally last season, thanks to Victoria Beckham.
The fashion designer just showed her SS18 collection at New York Fashion Week, and all anyone can talk about are the glitter shoes all the models were wearing.
They are very simple pointed court shoes, in shades of green and silver, and absolutely covered in sequins.
The beauty of them is that they were unexpected, paired as they were with bold red dresses and structured black dresses, rather than a perhaps girlier pink lace (though there was plenty of pink too).
Through this combo, VB made her sartorial message perfectly clear, 'delicacy can be strong'.
Yes, those shoes are sparkly, but they won't stop you from kicking arse. So you better add your name to the waiting list ASAP.
The rest of the collection was just as delicious. I say delicious, because while a lot of the designs were in VB's signature neutral shades, there were some dresses in ice cream shades pretty enough to eat.
There were sating lilac suits and millennial pink palazzo trousers paired with delicate blouses, and sheer mint pencil skirts.
Fashion aside, I know you're all wondering if David Beckham and the whole brood were there to support, and of course they were.
David and his ponytail were on the FROW, right next to Brooklyn, who was snapping away with his professional camera, pictures I'm sure he'll be proud to present at his photography course.
As one front row-er put it, 'David Beckham and sequins, what more could you want?'. Amen.


Excited to dive deeper into the world you've created with Kalopsia collection. Everything i've read (and listened) so far i've liked a lot.
:) i especially like your long, passionate reviews (In Rainbows, Downward Spiral, Present Tense..). You sure have your way with words and i'd very much like to read some of the other stuff you write. Poems?
We have a true critic ladies and gentlemen!
??? Is there a problem?
Yo mane,i dig your reviews you should check out Current 93 - Thunder perfect mind.
RE: Protomartyr's new record. It's quite different to their previous releases. Much less conventional song structures, longer track lengths, more obtuse but also evocative, thought-provoking lyrics. It's probably their least accessible, yet most instantly classic sounding album.

James Guillory-USA TODAY Sports
The Bruins are one win away from the Stanley Cup Final.
Boston will go for a four-game sweep of the Hurricanes when they play Game 4 at PNC Arena in Raleigh, North Carolina. The Bruins have won six straight games and handed Carolina its first home loss of the playoffs Tuesday in Game 3.
If the Bruins do win, it'll be their first Cup Final appearance since 2013 when they fell to the Blackhawks in six games. People forget that.
The Hurricanes have battled back from elimination before in this year's playoffs. Carolina won two elimination games against the reigning Stanley Cup champion Capitals in the first round. But they'll need four straight against Boston.
Carolina will try to become the fifth team in NHL history to rally from a 3-0 series deficit.

Sun and Floods, Mud and Metal: Worship Metal Does Download 2016
Posted on June 15, 2016 by Stuart Bell in Features
Source // Amon Amarth Download 2016
We were there last year for Download 2015. That's right – the rainy one. We were in front of Priest when the skies opened and we kept the throttle jammed open until Slipknot had done their thing. We doubled back to the campsite through brand-new rivers and thousands upon thousands of bedraggled metal-heads then waited out that shitty night of torrential rain.
We thought we had seen the wettest Download there was likely to ever be. We were wrong. And by the morning of 13th June, the air would once again be filled with 80-odd thousand voices asking why God/Satan/Other had forsaken them in such a cruel and unusual manner!
Still, let's rewind to the beginning and it was ironically as hot as hell on Thursday the 9th as we rolled into the Metal Meadow in my Brother's black Dodge Challenger with 100 cans of cider, 5 bottles of Jagermeister and assorted other goodies stashed in the boot. So far, so good. Spirits were high and shirts were off and the ladies of the UK heavy metal community didn't have a single droplet of mud splattered up their wet-look leggings.
Not yet anyway.

RavenEye
With a bit of time to spare early in the day, I found myself able to survey the land a bit before the big guns fired up. I walked across to the Zippo Encore stage and was immediately confronted by what appeared to be Russell Brand, singing in a bluesy yowl, while chucking out some Sabbath-tinged guitar stuff.
While I admit, I may have initially uttered something along the lines of, "Fuck off, posing rock toss-bag," surprisingly, within a song and a half, I was fully on-board!
These boys come on like a British Soundgarden but with a cleaner, blues kinda feel. The Russell Brand dude [that'll be the Joe Satriani approved Oli Brown – Ed] played one song using only his left hand to fret the notes on the guitar while clutching the mic with his right….that was cool. He then ended the set standing shakily atop the bass drum (luckily he was built like Brand too!). It worked. RavenEye won me over. Everyone was happy.
Despite the withering words of the indie metal press, there has been a fair bit of interest in this new project helmed by Austin Dickinson – AKA the fruit of Maiden front-legend Bruce Dickinson's loins (maybe that should be As Loins then?). They don't even have an album out yet and yet here they are making an appearance at Download; funny thing that, eh?
Cynicism, nepotism and several other 'isms' aside, As Lions, very much like young Dickinson's previous band – Rise to Remain – purvey melodic heavy metal with a few angular edges that lend a slightly metalcore feel. His voice, as you'd expect, has been well schooled but his lyrics are pretty insipid. They're a solid band with a couple of decent tunes and come over as fairly likeable, yet it's almost as if they know they haven't really earned the right to stand on that stage. Were it not for who their singer was, would they be there?
No way Pedro.
It was Babymetal who were the unfortunate recipients of Mother Nature's opening salvo during the weekend. What initially looked like one of the predicted 'showers', quickly went apocalyptic to the point where I swear I saw some dude named Noah, hammering planks of wood together. Indeed, Babymetal's kick off was delayed by 15 minutes while bemused Japanese people mopped down the front of the stage and threw plastic covers over amps. The rain drops were about the size of golf balls by the time the big screens on each side of the stage burst into life with a cute video about the 'Fox God' and the 'legends of heavy metal'. Suddenly, we were off!
To all Babymetal's naysayers, eat this: This band is fucking heavy. Yes, you heard me right. Manufactured and yet utterly anomalous they may be, but the chances are they kick more ass than the CD you have on your stereo right now. Or MP3 or whatever…
Opening with "Babymetal Death", their act comes across on two levels. First, you have three girls deploying impressive harmonies at breakneck speed, interspersed with tight choreography and second you have an incredible display of musicianship by four masked men from the top-tier of technical ability. They ripped through "Gimme Chocolate!!", igniting one of the most frenetic mosh pits of the weekend. That done, the girls swished off stage leaving their band to open "Megitsune" with an outrageous solo trade-off featuring the kind of bass playing you normally only hear coming out of Billy Sheehan's home studio. Of course they dropped "Karate" on us and when they did it was almost big enough scare the rain into submission.
Almost, but not quite…
After a quick beer it was time to welcome Havok to the Dogtooth Stage and to the UK.
Timings had slipped a bit. We had to run. Actually, we had to sprint, like fuck, from the guest area to that little red tent on top of the hill just in time to see them hit the stage. As they ripped into "Point of No Return", I am proud to report that Worship Metal initiated a pit of unholy fuck before Dave Sanchez even had time to request one!
Havok's brand of Big 4-influenced, genetically engineered-thrash is at the very backbone of what modern metal is about. They are young, hungry and technically superb. You can tell they mean every beat, every note and every word. It was a short set – taking in "D.O.A." (obviously) and "Claiming Certainty" before climaxing with "Give Me Liberty …. Or Give me Death" – but it sure was sweet. They band walked off to the sound of every person in that tent chanting their name. I left the tent with a burst nose and a massive cheesy grin. Fuck yeah, that's living!
Friday afternoon belonged to Havok and while big business draws in more 'rock' bands to maximise ticket sales for festivals like Download, we must never forget the power of true metal to excite and unite an audience.
22 years on from their tearing up of the rule book and totally changing the definition of what metal could be, Korn still have the power to enthral. Most of all they have the power to make the average human dance/mosh/head-bang like no one is watching. Their appearance on Friday night, despite the worsening showers, was no exception.
Unlike some of their peers (I'm looking at you Deftones, more on them later) Korn dutifully gave the crowd enough of the tunes that put them where they are to satisfy everyone. They also delved into their mid-era material, playing "Somebody Someone", "Did My Time", "Hater" and "Y'All Want a Single?" alongside the compulsory "Freak On A Leash", "Blind" et al.
Like fellow big-leaguers Metallica, Korn have come to realise how lucky they are and these days portray a sense of grounded contentedness and of pleasure and professionalism in everything they play. Korn were always tight, but this night they were positively machine-like with Jonathan Davis both looking and sounding healthier and happier than ever.
A quality performance from head to toe and one that may well have had Rammstein picking nervously at the labels on their beer bottles backstage!
Speaking of whom; few bands could have stepped up to Korn's challenge with such cold, clinical assuredness as Rammstein, armed with 40 tonnes of explosives and an old lady costume. They cranked out a show filled with all the Teutonic haughtiness and unashamed eccentricity that we have come to expect from them. Till Lindeman held the crowd's attention and enthusiasm in the face of endless sheets of rain – far better than some of the bigger bands who would follow him throughout the weekend – and highlights included an appropriately rousing "Reise, Reise", "Du Hast" (naturally) and a nifty cover of Depeche Mode's "Stripped".
Visually the show felt a little restrained in comparison to previous tours. The word from hard-core fans in our campsite was they had been forced to tone down some of the pyrotechnic effects because of the nearby flight path into East Midlands Airport. Others claimed they had technical problems while a few dismissed the reconvened Germans as being "a bit lazy."
Just goes to show, you can't please all of the people all of the time!

Awesome review on BABYMETAL. Glad you guys liked it.
Just a little note, when the girls leave the stage the extended intro of the band is for "Catch Me If You Can" not for "Megitsune".

Units & Curriculum Map >
Unit 1: Origin of the Universe & Our Solar System
The Big Bang theory encompasses our current understanding of the origin of the universe. This theory widely supported by scientists states that all of the matter that formed Earth, all of the materials that formed the stars and galaxies that light up the night sky, and all of the building blocks for everything in the Universe were once contained in a tiny singularity. Through observations and analysis of models, in this unit students will develop an understanding of evidence -cosmic background radiation and red shift- that has led scientists to their current understanding of the Universe's origin. Students will also use models to construct their own understanding of how the Sun and the rest of our solar system was formed, properties of celestial objects, and the patterns and relationships we observe in the cosmos. Throughout the unit students will apply their learning to the unit performance task, Hunting for Earth 2.0.
Unit Essential Questions
How has our understanding of the Universe changed and why?
How can we use what we know about the motion of objects in our solar system to make predictions about its future and inferences about the rest of the Universe?
Is it probable that life can exist or be sustained on other planets?
