The University of Maryland's PhD in Urban and Regional Planning and Design program takes full advantage of the resources of a leading research university and the surrounding metropolitan area. The program is small and highly competitive, and gives students an opportunity to bridge disciplines, including urban planning, design, historic preservation and real-estate development. Our nationally-known faculty, the National Center for Smart Growth Research and Education, and our location in the Washington, DC metro area make the University of Maryland an exciting place to study urban planning, design and historic preservation.
The PhD Program
The PhD in Urban and Regional Planning and Design is offered by the School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation. The PhD program prepares students to teach at the university level in departments of Urban Planning, Architecture, Historic Preservation, Landscape Architecture or Real Estate Development. It also qualifies graduates to conduct research and participate in high-level decision-making in the public, private and non-profit sectors.
This Ph.D. program builds on the University of Maryland's National Center for Smart Growth Research and Education and the faculty's community-based work in Maryland, nationally and internationally. The faculty of the School is involved with the State of Maryland on issues of land-use planning and future patterns of urban development, with local communities to address issues of education reform, economic development, housing stabilization and revitalization, and urban design; and with foreign governments on issues of urban development and planning. This ongoing research and education provides a rich intellectual environment for students pursuing the Ph.D. in urban and regional planning and design.
Specific assets of the Ph.D. program at the University of Maryland, College Park are:
- Proximity to Baltimore, Washington, DC, and Annapolis, three cities that provide a wealth of topics for applied and theoretical urban planning and design research.
- The National Center for Smart Growth Research and Education. The University of Maryland has created The National Center for Smart Growth Research and Education as a cooperative venture of four of its schools (Architecture, Planning and Preservation; Public Policy; Agriculture and Natural Resources; and Engineering). The Center undertakes a broad range of research in growth, development, redevelopment and smart growth issues.
- Maryland's leadership in the Smart Growth arena. Maryland's legislation serves as a national model for land planning and growth management. Under the leadership of then Governor Paris Glendening, the State of Maryland aggressively implemented dozens of innovative programs aimed at guiding metropolitan growth, land preservation and transportation planning in Maryland's future.
- The integration of planning and design coupled with programs in historic preservation and real estate development. With all four programs in the School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, the University of Maryland's Ph.D. in Urban and Regional Planning and Design takes a uniquely comprehensive and holistic approach to the social, economic, and design aspects of urban environments.
- A nationally-known faculty, with specializations in urban form and growth management, social planning, land use planning, urban design, real estate development and international planning.
Area Resources
The program's location in College Park provides access to the rich assortment of national and international organizations in Washington, DC. Examples of U.S. governmental offices at the national level include the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the U.S. Department of Transportation and the National Main Street Program. Examples of international agencies that provide students with research materials and access to professionals in the field of international development include the World Bank and the Agency for International Development. Washington, DC is home to the headquarters of many non-profits, community based organizations, and private consulting firms.
Baltimore provides Ph.D. students with proximity to a major historic industrial U.S. city. Baltimore is nationally recognized for its innovation and success in expanding the local economy from a manufacturing base to a service-oriented economy. Baltimore is also home to many state agencies responsible for statewide planning efforts, such as the Maryland Department of Planning and the Maryland Department of the Environment.
Annapolis, the state capital, offers learning opportunities with its historic downtown and its leadership in "Smart Growth" planning efforts.

WELCOME TO this week's Big Fish Blog, coming to you here every Thursday. This time it's by the Pike Anglers Club.
We take predator fishing seriously at the Mail, so are delighted our pals at the PAC are on board. This instalment comes from PAC Webmaster Dave Mutton.
We hope you enjoy the blog, and share it with your friends on Facebook and Twitter by clicking the icons above, or by the "old skool" method of telling fellow anglers! Feel free also to comment by using the special space at the bottom on this page.
SATURDAY, September 22 saw the highlight of the PACs' calendar nationally, with the staging of our Annual Convention. This year the event was held in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, which is the most northerly the event has ever been staged.
This gave an opportunity for all of the members from the North of England and Scotland to attend whereas some of them may have struggled to get to events further South. As we are a national club then it is only fair that we give all members an opportunity to attend.
My convention actually started on the Friday afternoon as I travelled up to Harrogate, accompanied by fellow PAC and Catfishing UK member Brian Springthorpe, in order to get the Catfishing UK trade stand set up. The traders' area was very well organised with easy access. We set everything up and then had a good look at who else was at the show. As ever, the show was very well supported by traders and there were some giants of the pike tackle world alongside some smaller more specialist companies. There was a fantastic range and diversity of product on offer and there really was something for everybody.
For many people, one of the main reasons they attend the convention is to stock up on lots of new gear for the season ahead and so the trade stands are a very important part of the convention. As I don't want to upset anybody by forgetting them I am not going to try and list everybody that was at the show. But I would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of the National Committee, to thank each and every one of you for continuing to support the event year in and year out.
Another big draw at the convention is the junior coaching sessions lead by Eric Edwards, a level 2 qualified angling coach. This year proved no exception with Eric and his team kept busy all day by coaching youngsters in all aspects of pike fishing, from rigs and tackle to the all important safe handling and unhooking techniques. Many thanks to Eric and his team for all their efforts and, from what I saw, all the youngsters really enjoyed themselves.
Every year the convention has some fabulous speakers and this year was no exception. With talks and slide shows from Steve Rowley, Phil Wakeford, Neville Fickling and Alastair Rawlings. Although I was unable to attend any of the talks, everyone was really well received and there was a real buzz in the hall whenever people came out of the auditorium.
The auditorium was also where the annual awards were given out. Congratulations go to Mark Green – Barrie Rickards Pike Angler of the Year, Micky Jones and Rab Hay, Jointly awarded the Regional Organiser of the Year. The President's Shield award went to that man Eric Edwards in recognision of the vast amounts of work he does on behalf of the PAC in working with youngsters and in coaching in general. The Pikelines awards for articles submitted to the club magazine went to James Sarkar and the Junior Award went to Stuart Wynne.
As ever a popular place to be at lunchtime was the bar and restaurant area as this gave everybody a chance to catch up exchange fishy stories and share in a bit of banter. On top of all this were the usual features of the convention such as the mega raffle, which contained some fantastic prizes, and the second hand stall where people can buy and sell used tackle. This again proved popular so many thanks to Dave Munden and his team for doing a brilliant job here.
At this point in time I do not have the exact numbers of people who attended the convention, I feel that it may be down slightly on last year but, with the current economic climate that is not unexpected. On an extremely positive note we actually signed up 60 new members to the PAC over the day. That is outstanding and is indicative of how well received the convention was.
One new member, Michael Pickard has commented 'I went along on Saturday as I'm only ten minutes away, and had a great few hours, on the strength of the day I've joined the PAC with my son, a really good bunch of guys'. Thanks to everybody that attended this year and it was nice to catch up with some old friends and to meet up with new ones.
Finally I would like to thank Colin Goodge and Brian Birdsall for organising the event. They really were the glue that held it all together and they worked extremely hard to put together a fantastic day for everybody – not bad for a pair of old timers!
For everybody who is interested in pike fishing, the PAC Convention really is a good day out, where you will be able to get some great bargains on tackle and listen to some of the top pike anglers in the country. This event is open to all so hopefully we will see you next year.
Rutland hauling
One of the other recent events organised by the PAC was the recent fishing event held on Rutland Water. Although the pike were not really having it, with a few being caught to 17lb, the zander were right on the feed with an amazing 102 zeds being caught! Everybody has said what a great day they had and well done to all the guys who bagged a fish or two.
All ready for proper "pike fishing season"!
In the words of House Stark: 'Winter is coming'! Yep, for all those that fish for pike only after the traditional October 1st start, now is a frantic time of sorting out all the gear and planning your fishing trips. I wish you all well in your hunt for esox lucius this year.
Hopefully we will be reporting a few big fish for the next blog here on the brilliant new-look Angler's Mail website. One final reminder, if you haven't done so already – get your deadbaits ordered!

To connect shaft ends with extended shaft separations
Double cardanic - thus enabling larger radial misalignments
Good damping properties by the double arrangement of spiders
ROTEX® torsional flexible couplings are characterized by small dimensions, low weight and low mass moments of inertia yet transmit high torques. Running quality and service life of the coupling are improved by accurate all-over machining. Their application is ideal for transmitting torque while damping torsional vibrations and absorbing shocks produced by the uneven operation of certain prime movers.
ROTEX® torsional flexible couplings are equipped with the new temperature resistant T-PUR® spider which is available in three different degrees of Shore hardness.
n contrast to other flexible couplings, the intermediate members of which are subject to bending stress and are therefore prone to earlier wear, the flexible teeth of ROTEX® couplings are subject to pressure only. This gives the additional advantage of the individual teeth being able to accept considerably higher loads.
The elastomer parts show deformation with load and excessive speeds. Sufficient space for expansion should be ensured.
The maximum torsion angle with ROTEX® couplings of any size amounts to 5°. They can be fitted both horizontally and vertically.
With the temperature-resistant polyurethane T-PUR® of KTR the properties of the ROTEX® have been optimized importantly. T-PUR is a much more temperature-resistant and has a longer service life than polyurethane material. From the visual point of view we have characterized the material T-PUR® by the colours orange (92 Shore A), purple (98 Shore A) and pale green (64 Shore D). The previous spiders made from polyurethane in yellow, red and natural white with green ends will still be available.

I can't believe it
I was searching yesterday evening exactly for a C++ and KDE developers book. Now this is like someone has read my mind. Sure QT is not directly KDE but it gets me close there. Thanks a lot.

Re: I can't believe it
I'm again and again astonished how hostile the GNOME community is against other desktops and in part their own users and developers.
By Anonymous at Sat, 2004/10/30 - 5:00am
Re: I can't believe it
ATTENTION: This is not to start a flamewar.. it is just MY personal experience!
After a few visits to #gnome (and #gnu) it stopped surprising me :-(
To me those places apear more like brainwash-facilities then they are places to socialize and get voulenteer support :-/ Every time I said "Linux" I was flamed with remarks like "It GNU/Linux lameass!!!"... When I [accedently] mentiond KDE I was told: "If you want to use that POS then please go jerk off there, and stop bothering us with your commercials!". Apart from that i think I saw "RTFM n00b!" more than anything else 8-|
Now... when I listen to RMS's speaches about "free speach as opposed to free beer" and "the right to form a society" I really think that a lot of the GNU ppl missed that point compleetly :-( I was effectively shut out of that society because my views didnt match that of the rest 100%.. so I feel that I have been deprived from just those two wonderfull things by the very group who is preaching it.
Or is it just all the ill-mannerd youngsters who hang out in the main chans to look "l33t"? I dont know.. but I do for sure think that the entire KDE society is much more freindly and open to n00bs and people who by preference happen to like say Gaim over Kopete ;-)
Peace, Love & OpenSource! (oops-sorry, Free Software! ;-)

Re: I can't believe it
A lot of people are so high and mighty thinking their way is the only way. I like KDE, and I like GNOME and frankly although most of my GUI development has been geared towars QT & KDE I also want to develop under GNOME and other desktop platforms as well. Why embrace one thing only and shut out and condemn everything else.
By Mylar at Mon, 2004/11/01 - 6:00am
Re: I can't believe it
> Why embrace one thing only
Learning effort? For a company: Cost of the time spent on getting familiar with all there is to know about the different frameworks. I think these are very strong points for specialising in only one of them.
> and shut out and condemn everything else.
That does not necessarily follow from developing in only one DE. When using standards as defined on http://www.freedesktop.org/ you may still find yourself developing *for* other DEs (by writing KDE apps that play nicely with other DEs).
By cm at Tue, 2004/11/02 - 6:00am
The book is great
I bought the book more or less when it was available for online purchase, I must admit that is great, and I'm very happy with it.
It's a pity that the only book about KDE programming is outdated. There was a project intended to solve this, kdeev-books, but it's mailinglist, and it's CVS module are completely empty.
If I had more knowledge, I will try to help with this, but when basic things like XML-GUI etc. appear, I become lost, and all I can do is copy and paste code from others. :-/
By suy at Thu, 2004/10/28 - 5:00am
This is a really great book
Bought it myself a few months ago, got half-way through before I got sidetracked (*cough* Doom *cough*) but am getting back into it know. It's not just the API, there's lots of little coding tips in their, and the book is clearly written with a view to Qt 4 (e.g. they only show menu creation using actions).

Did anyone have any look with downloading the accompanying source code? I tried with both Konqueror and Mozilla several times since the book was available to download some weeks ago. But all I ever got was a 404 page.

I could download the 11 MB sit file without a problem. It's a stuffit archive, right? Is there a open source tool to unpack those, or do I have to use the stuffit trial version?

It is of a propritary format... so no use downloading the sit file... Anybody please show me a gzip archive of the same?
By Rajesh at Fri, 2005/01/28 - 6:00am
Re: Source code downloadable?
You can uncompress .sit file by downloading stuffit expander trial software(the one I used is for Microsoft Windows platform) and uncompress this .sit file. After that you can see all of the sourecodes of this book.

Don't I feel dumb now... :-P
I bought this several months ago. But I don't actually feel dumb - it was worth the purchase price. Read it cover to cover (a bit scary); extremely well-written and very good.

Great, Take II
As soon as I read the initial posting about the availability of this book, I bought it from Amazon! "Fate, she is a cruel mistress..."

D'oh! This is a joke!!!
What a joke! I brought it 2 weeks ago from Amazon. If I only waited a bit...
By Samuele at Thu, 2004/10/28 - 5:00am
Re: D'oh! This is a joke!!!
If I didn't have the book already, I would still buy it. A dead tree version is so much more conveniant than a pdf file. Printing the pdf is not really an option, since it cost about the same as the book itself.

Konqueror problems with that page
Anybody else having problems in konqueror when they click on the downloads link? I am running 3.3.1 and the page just won't display. Works fine in firefox but I've got so used to just using konqi.

Re: Konqueror problems with that page
It seems funny that a site which is giving away a book about Qt development won't work with the very application that is written using the toolkit. I know that is looking at the problem VERY broadly, but annoying all the same.

Don't know how it's supposed to look like, but it look perfectly ok in Konqueror 3.2.2-4 (RedHat)

Great book
I got this book about a month before troll tech said it would be released (still not sure how... I wasn't expecting it to come for a few months), I skimmed around in it, and read parts. This is the only C++ refernce I've ever had and the first time reading it I was a bit confused (mostly because I skipped over a few IMPORTANT chapters). Now I've decided to go back and read it from cover to cover (started about a week ago, don't get much time to read it though), and with what I've learned in AP Comp Science (java not c++) has made it so I've understood everything in this book so far (and I've had about 4 weeks of classes).
If you want to get into KDE or QT programming, this book is the greatest thing I've found so far. Maybe someone can write a book / long tutorial about KDE programming for someone with some experience in QT. This is all I need to really be able to start helping some KDE projects.

When 6-foot-11 Dennis Kramer tries Bill Grier's patience, floating to the perimeter and jacking up three-point shots, the USD head coach sarcastically but succinctly gets his message across.
Said Greer, "I call him the 6-11 shooting guard."
The message is clear. While the junior out of La Costa Canyon High is blessed with a soft touch for a big man, he's still a very big man. For the Toreros to be successful they need Kramer to focus primarily on crashing the boards, defending and being physical.
Which brings USD to its game tonight inside the Jenny Craig Pavilion against 20-4 Saint Mary's. The teams met 16 days ago in Moraga and for the Toreros, it was ugly.
Try an 81-48 loss. Try sinking a puny 15 baskets, equaling their turnovers. Try having their manhood questioned, getting outrebounded 38-19.
"We're going to have to play a lot more physical, with a tougher mentality than we did in Moraga," said Grier.
Grier's play-big message sunk in for Kramer in Thursday's 74-68 upset of BYU. He scored eight points, often muscled the Cougars' Brandon Davies out of the paint and most importantly, pulled down a season-high 10 rebounds.
"Dennis had a physical presence about him," said Grier.
The 2012-13 season has been a trying one for Kramer. He scored 22 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in a game last year vs. Portland, career highs. He closed the season scoring in double figures in nine of the last 14 games.
"Between the weight room, yoga, working on his game, he worked his tail off last summer," Grier said. "My staff and my players, we all felt our most consistent and probably best low-post guy was going to be Dennis."
Then Kramer suffered a hip flexor strain a couple weeks before the season. "It felt like somebody was in there the whole time, stabbing it with a knife," said Kramer.
He scored 16, 15 and 11 points in three of the season's first four games. But then the hip flexor turned more painful. Then he struggled offensively. Then he strained his right wrist.
"I've seen him put so much pressure on himself," said Grier. "If he missed a shot it was like the end of the world. His head would go down."
"With the injuries, my confidence dropped and it's hard getting that back," said Kramer.
In a 14-game stretch he logged two dnp's (did not play). He didn't score in another three games. He averaged 1.75 points and rebounds during the 14-game skid.
"He lost sight of all those things we need him to do for us, which is defend and rebound," said Grier. "But the thing about Dennis is, he's a grinder. He keeps his nose to the grindstone and keeps chiseling away at it."
A one-week break before last Saturday's game vs. Gonzaga helped Kramer's body heel. He hit the gym late at night on his own, shooting for up to two hours, launching as many as 600 shots. (He admits more than half the shots were from the perimeter.)
Now, the improvement has arrived. His numbers the past three games: 8.7 points, 5 rebounds.
"I stuck in there, got in the gym, worked on my game, did whatever I could on the bench to help my team," said Kramer. "Overall, I felt I handled the situation pretty well."
Tonight, there's Saint Mary's and the memory of that 81-48 shellacking.
Said Kramer, "We feel we owe them one."

Michael Armstrong joined the gym to get some aerobic exercise and lose some weight. One day, he was walking on a treadmill when he noticed pain in his chest as well as pain that went up into his throat. The pain then began radiating down his left arm.
Michael has worked in the health care industry for many years, so he quickly realized what he was experiencing could be signs of a heart attack, and he consulted his primary care physician. Michael told his physician about the symptoms and the physician quickly referred him to me at Emory University Hospital Midtown for an innovative procedure called hybrid coronary revascularization.
As I mentioned in my previous blog post about hybrid coronary revascularization, this procedure is typically performed on a patient who has blockage in the artery in the front of the heart and one other blood vessel with disease in it. This unique approach is a best of both world's strategy where we combine durability of surgery with the minimally invasive nature of a procedure called stenting. Optimal therapy with this minimally invasive approach translates into shorter recovery time, potentially fewer complications and a quicker return to work. Emory is one of only a few centers in the nation offering this procedure.
Michael Armstrong sums up his experience:
"I didn't know what to expect, this was my first hospitalization in my life but I was comfortable getting my heart care at Emory University Hospital Midtown. Dr. Halkos had done more than 100 robotic surgeries so I was very impressed with that. Dr. Halkos knows the road you are about to take together is treacherous and comes across as very knowledgeable while still friendly and empathetic. Now shortly after the surgery, I am back to full exercise, I walk around the neighborhood with my wife, and even last weekend I walked to the top of Stone Mountain with a friend. That made me feel good. I know Emory talks about quality patient and family centered care, but actually experiencing it was pretty wonderful."
Watch Michael's story in this video.
Do you have questions or feedback? If so, please leave them in the comments section below.
About Michael Halkos, MD
Dr. Halkos is a cardiothoracic surgeon at the Emory Heart & Vascular Center. He specializes in minimally invasive adult cardiac surgery. He is leading the innovative Emory work with the hybrid coronary revascularization procedure being performed at Emory University Hospital Midtown. He finished his Medical School, Residency and Fellowship at Emory University School of Medicine and is a member of the American Medical Association.

Had a great class at the Make Lounge last night making bath and body products which reminded me of the Easter Egg Bath Bombs workshop I did last year. I promised my students last night that I would put the recipe up – so here it is…
Download your free bath bomb recipe below
Or simply follow the bath bomb recipe below – Have Fun!
300g Sodium Bicarbonate
150g Citric Acid
60g Cornstarch
50ml spray bottle of Witch Hazel
¼ teaspoon power colour
20 drops of Essential Oil of your choice
6 egg shaped moulds
1.Weigh the Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid and Cornstarch into a bowl and mix thoroughly.
2.Add your powder colour, and blend into the mixture until there are no lumps. This is usually best done with your hands rubbing the mixture between your thumb and fingers as if you are making pastry.
3.Add your essential oil and do the same thing until the fragrance it totally blended in. You can wear latex (or non latex) gloves to protect your hands from the neat essential oils.
4.Take your spray bottle of Witch Hazel and spray the mixture 10 times whilst mixing with the other hand. Keep doing this until the mixture is the texture of damp sand . Be patient and add the witch hazel gradually, after each lot of sprays squeeze a handful of mixture and drop back into the bowl. When it holds its shape then it is ready to pack into moulds.
5.Take handful of mixture and pack tightly into each half of the mould, slightly overfill one half. Push the two halves together for 20 seconds and remove the top half. Dust off the excess back into the bowl and leave the egg to set. Repeat until you have filled all of the moulds.
6.You should now be able to remove the eggs from the other half of the moulds and place into an egg box to harden.
Please feel free to share this link or send the bath bomb recipe pdf to your friends.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month, during which communities across the country sponsor activities to raise awareness about the importance of child abuse prevention and healthy child development. This annual designation is an opportunity for communities to evaluate progress and reaffirm their commitment to building safe environments for children.
On April 23, James Hmurovich, CEO and President of Prevent Child Abuse America, will speak at 7:30 p.m. in the HUB Auditorium on Penn State's University Park campus about why prevention matters, how communities across the country are responding to the challenge of promoting healthy child development and providing safe environments, and what is needed going forward.
A panel response titled "Campus to Community Perspectives" will follow Hmurovich's talk and include campus and Centre Region representatives. The group will discuss local prevention efforts and how every person can help in this important fight.
Panelists include Centre County Judge Bradley Lunsford, First Assistant District Attorney of Montgomery County and Penn State Alumni Association Vice President Kevin Steele, president of the student group One Heart Cristina Fernandez, Penn State Youth Programs Compliance Specialist Sandra Weaver and Penn State's Network on Child Protection and Well-Being Director of Research and Education and Professor of Human Development and Family Studies Jennie Noll.
Child abuse and neglect are substantiated in more than 1.2 million children each year in the United States. Working together to build awareness and understanding is an essential key to preventing child abuse. Everyone has a part to play.
The event is sponsored by the University Park Undergraduate Association (UPUA) and Penn State's Network on Child Protection and Well-Being. It is free and open to the public.
Joining UPUA and the Network as event sponsors are Penn State student organizations including One Heart and Walk for Prevention; Penn State Offices of Student Affairs, Human Resources, and Ethics and Compliance; and community organizations including the Children's Advocacy Center of Centre County, Centre County Youth Service Bureau, Centre County Women's Resource Center, YMCA of Centre County and the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape (PCAR).

In the eastern part of Schleswig-Holstein, you can enjoy the hilly lakeland scenery on foot, by bike, by boat or on horseback – and then unwind in the picturesque towns and villages.
The nature park centre in Plön provides information on the unspoilt natural areas in the region. The rich and varied landscape of the Holstein Switzerland Nature Park was formed during the ice age. Many of the lakes here are certified conservation areas and important breeding and resting places for numerous waterfowl such as great crested grebes and coots. A circular tour through the Heidmoor conservation area near Seedorf can provide a fascinating insight into the world of the corncrake and other grassland birds. The best place to encounter Germany's national bird, the white-tailed eagle, is Rathjensdorf, where a manned bird-watching station is open to the public from March to July. At the heart of Bad Segeberg is Kalkberg hill, whose rocky crags serve as an impressive backdrop for the Karl May Festival. The cave system underneath the hill is home to over 20,000 bats. If you want to learn more about their fascinating underground existence, you can pay a visit to the cave and the Noctalis bat centre.
The Schwentine is the longest river in the Holstein Switzerland Nature Park. It wends its way through the countryside for 63km from its source at Bungsberg hill to Kiel. From Eutin you can explore the river in a canoe. A succession of lakes and sections of the river offer plenty of variety here. The palatial residences in Plön and Eutin can also be accessed from the water. If you prefer to walk or cycle, you'll find a network of signposted trails.

Case story
Retaining walls in the Czech Republic
Czech Republic, Central Bohemia
In Kunice and Benešov (Central Bohemia, Czech Republic) TenCate Geosynthetics has been involved in two projects where TenCate Miragrid® GX has been applied. The first concerned the construction of a logistics park, the second the construction of a department store. In both cases reinforced walls (retaining walls) had to be erected, and here our geogrids were the obvious solution.
TenCate Miragrid® GX products are knitted geogrids made from high-tenacity polyester yarns, with a black polymeric coating, high tensile strength, and excellent creep resistance. The material, which is available in a full range of tensile strengths, both uniaxial and biaxial, is used mainly for reinforcing retaining walls, for steep banks and slopes around artworks, or for stabilizing motorways, railways and parking lots.
The Kunice Logistics Park lies to the southeast of the capital Prague. During building, reinforced walls with a total length of 320 metres and an average height of 8.2 metres were erected – height even reached 12.5 metres in some places. Three TenCate Miragrid® GX qualities were used in this work, and the volume of the project was 210,000 m². About half the walls reinforced with TenCate geogrid were faced with concrete blocks, while the rest were faced in green. The frictional interface between TenCate Miragrid® GX geogrid and concrete blocks has ensured optimal strength mobilization and thus cost-effective design of these retaining walls.
The building of a department store for the German supermarket chain Kaufland in Benešov entailed the construction of a retaining wall 152 metres in length and an average of 4.2 metres in height. The facing of the wall was covered with concrete blocks, and the total volume of the project amounted to 23,500 m² of TenCate Miragrid® GX.
From the point of view of costs and safety, TenCate Miragrid® GX is the ideal solution for applications with – as in the Czech Republic – a non-cohesive, coarse-grained soil structure. The method of stabilizing such soil with several layers of this material has already proved its worth, and nowadays using TenCate Miragrid® GX to reinforce unstable ground of poor load-bearing capacity is accepted in geotechnical and civil engineering as a practice that is both technically and financially sound.

Broadcom is appealing directly to Emulex stockholders to consent to proposals to call a special meeting that could toss the Emulex board out on its collective ear.
Emulex has painted Broadcom as a marauding (and drug-addled) beast, but Broadcom casts itself in quite a different light; its mission is to rescue the struggling company from its nasty old captors - board chairman Paul Folino and CEO James McCluney - and restore it to the exalted position it deserves.
Broadcom is determinedly undermining Emulex's board and leadership by laying bare the company's under-performance relative to QLogic and the market generally in a presentation (pdf). We and stockholders are shown how Emulex's leadership over-promises and under-delivers while competitor QLogic does better, and while Broadcom shows better performance than the semi-conductor market generally.
The presentation fingers Folino and McCluney as the main board reps because they own more shares than any other board member; and because the other members, it implies, are time servers with a "15 year average... tenured membership".
Emulex's under-performance is laid out with great clarity. For example: "Emulex lost 67.1 percent of its value, compared with losses of 30.6 percent and 36.3 percent for QLogic and the NASDAQ Composite Index, respectively, for the two years ending on the day before Broadcom made its offer public."
Broadcom says analysts have learnt to distrust Emulex's expectations as to future growth. It says that Emulex's compound annual growth rate from fiscal 2004 through fiscal 2008 to the estimated fiscal 2009 results is just one percent.
After Broadcom made its offer public Emulex has publicised growth projections to 2012 that would require a 17 percent CAGR. This track record makes Emulex's recently announced "hockey-stick" revenue growth projection of dubious value. In other words they are unrealistic and unbelievable and require Emulex to get value from its recent design wins that it has never achieved in the past five years.
What Broadcom is doing is contacting Emulex stockholders and asking them to agree to its call for proposals enabling them to force through a special stockholder meeting, which can discuss Broadcom's takeover proposals.
Scott McGregor, Broadcom's President and CEO, said: "Supporting this Consent Solicitation gives Emulex stockholders the option to consider their choices, without having to commit at this time to any one choice. Our proposals in the Consent Solicitation would give Emulex stockholders the ability to be heard in the most important matters affecting their investment.
"Contrary to misleading statements by Emulex about our proposals, support for the consent solicitation does not obligate Emulex stockholders to tender their shares to Broadcom or to elect new Board members."
What about the Emulex coke-hound accusations, about Broadcom being unfit because of influence still peddled by a founder facing federal drug-related charges as well as stock option back-dating ones?
"Emulex has... resorted to costly, mudslinging litigation that is wholly irrelevant to our offer, entirely without merit and has no place in today's prevailing standards of sound corporate governance and responsible Board conduct," McGregor responded. "These actions demonstrate that the Emulex Board is unlikely to enter into legitimate negotiations toward a transaction in the stockholders' best interest unless Emulex stockholders take action."
And, unless they do, Broadcom could walk away.
There it is, the hint of stick among all the carrots. Emulex stockholders should not trust their board to repesent their interests. If they want Emulex to be saved, there's only one answer they can give to Broadcom's request. ®

§347a. Advances to member bank groups; inadequate amounts of eligible and acceptable assets; liability of individual banks in group; distribution of loans among banks of group; rate of interest; notes accepted for advances as collateral security for Federal reserve notes; foreign obligations as security for advances
Upon receiving the consent of not less than five members of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, any Federal reserve bank may make advances, in such amount as the board of directors of such Federal reserve bank may determine, to groups of five or more member banks within its district, a majority of them independently owned and controlled, upon their time or demand promissory notes, provided the bank or banks which receive the proceeds of such advances as herein provided have no adequate amounts of eligible and acceptable assets available to enable such bank or banks to obtain sufficient credit accommodations from the Federal reserve bank through rediscounts or advances other than as provided in section 347b 1 of this title. The liability of the individual banks in each group must be limited to such proportion of the total amount advanced to such group as the deposit liability of the respective banks bears to the aggregate deposit liability of all banks in such group, but such advances may be made to a lesser number of such member banks if the aggregate amount of their deposit liability constitutes at least 10 per centum of the entire deposit liability of the member banks within such district. Such banks shall be authorized to distribute the proceeds of such loans to such of their number and in such amount as they may agree upon, but before so doing they shall require such recipient banks to deposit with a suitable trustee, representing the entire group, their individual notes made in favor of the group protected by such collateral security as may be agreed upon. Any Federal reserve bank making such advance shall charge interest or discount thereon at a rate not less than 1 per centum above its discount rate in effect at the time of making such advance. No such note upon which advances are made by a Federal reserve bank under this section shall be eligible under section 412 of this title as collateral security for Federal reserve notes.
No obligations of any foreign government, individual, partnership, association, or corporation organized under the laws thereof shall be eligible as collateral security for advances under this section.
Member banks are authorized to obligate themselves in accordance with the provisions of this section.

Last night my husband woke me up at 12:22am.He was shaking and scared and he could barely talk.I asked him what was wrong and he said that he just woke up from a dream that he had.Let me explain....around 10:45 pm he went to sleep.i had fallen asleep before him cause I wasn't feeling to good.He said between 10:45 pm and 12:22 am he had 3 dreams,all very similar.The first dream was that he woke up in our room the same exact way we fell asleep,only I had told him that I had to use the bathroom,so I jumped up and went but he said when he looked the bathroom light was still off and he called out to me and asked why was the light still off.I'm afraid of the dark so...anyways I ran out of the bathroom saying I couldn't take the pain anymore(stomach pain) and I jumped into bed.He then asked me to get up to go to the ER and I said "no its still there" and I layed down.He then woke up and looked at me and fell back to sleep.He then went back to the same dream where it took off from it left off.I was still laying next to him and he was again asking me to get up and I looked at the foot of the bed and said "no its still there" so he looked and asked "whats there?" and that's when he saw it..it was a black shadow.it was crouched down by my t.v he could see the head and shoulders and it was looking at us.It then stood straight up and a sense of evil and dread came over my husband.it looked down on us and we laid in bed.Its arms were by its side straight down.u couldn't see any face expression or anything,just pure black.My husband then said he knew he was having a dream and had to wake up but couldn't so he started to pray and pray and then he woke up for the second time.He then tried to wake me but couldn't and said all I was doing was wimpering.So then seeing it was late and I was asleep he tried to go back to sleep.When he did he woke up in the same situation with the shadow in front of us.He instantly started to pray and woke up immediately.He finally did get to wake me then and he was shaking.I asked what was wrong and he said he was terrified,he could hardly talk and he was whispering with his voice shaking.I have never seen him like that and I turned the tv on in the room and opened the door to let the light in.about a half hour later we both went back to sleep.I have no idea what to think of this.I was ill last night before I went to bed with bad stomach pains.My husband was holding me tight til I fell asleep.today I feel a little better and he feels restless and he cant stop thinking about what happened.....Any ideas??? id love to hear what you guys think.Thank you!
BTW I forgot to mention that when I finally woke up and he told me what was going on we both heard a loud thump coming from the closet directly next to us...theres absolutely nothing in there at all.
I'm Freaked Out!

I'm curious do you and him talk about the paranormal a lot. Is the paranormal something he tends to think about? I'm asking because you were sick with stomach pains and he held you till you both fell asleep. I think it might have been worry and a little fear for you that caused the dream. To wake up feeling the emotions of you intense dreams is actually normal and they can feel so very real whether they are freighting, sad and even overjoyed. Its just the scary ones that seem to get us!!! LOL Then I again it could very well be something else. If it keeps happening then I would freak out a little but just once with you actually sick I think is just real emotions playing out. You all will be alright stay POSITIVE!!!!
Posted 05 November 2017 - 07:14 AM
MAN!! I need to proof read before I hit post!! SORRY!
Posted 05 November 2017 - 07:23 AM
we have talked about it.We have experienced a lot of things in the past years.We have been in this house for a little over a year and its a colonial built in 1919.we have seen many things here including our kids as well.In this house we have mostly seen children.A boy and a girl.things go missing.Alot of weird noises at night too.footsteps,conversations etc...but never any shadows like that.i myself have felt uneasy being upstairs alone and I don't know why.this house is 3 stories.on the first floor u feel a little uneasy,the second floor is worse and I never go to the third cause its empty.i hope it doesn't happen again cause we haven't had anything happen lately and I like it like that lol
Posted 05 November 2017 - 08:18 AM
I have off and on through the years encountered a creature like you described, sometimes in my bed room and once out side in my yard there where several grouped under the shadow of a tree. I would always be overwhelmed with fear, but never have I been harmed by them. get the impression that they are watchers of some kind.
Posted 05 November 2017 - 09:05 AM
that's very interesting.the more I think of it the more I think whatever it is just watches for whatever reason.its kinda scary.the unkown is always scary I guess
Posted 05 November 2017 - 11:27 AM
Did he dream it or actually see this Being?? If this Being is causing emotions, negative emotions within you and your family just by being In the home! Not even being seen.Then he is not just a watcher!. He may not physical harm you but mentally can cause major harm especially your children.. Fear, dread, anger, and confusion leads to depression which can go very badly especially with pre teen and teenagers who don't understand that these emotions aren't their emotions. Even if they do understand that its something else causing this doesn't mean they can control it. Even you and your Husband are at risk as you know with his multiple nightmares.. Please look into getting someone or you yourself take care of this. The power is in you just stay positive and don't give up. Its your home take control! It may take some time but you can make your home all of it a loving and positive place.
Posted 05 November 2017 - 12:12 PM
he dreamed it.every time he went back to sleep it started where it left off and it was still there staring us down.he says he never seen anything like that before or dreamed anything like it either.he is genuinely afraid and I feel bad for him.i myself have had multiple nightmares in this house but hes never told me of any he had while we lived here.He told me today that within the last week hes seen things out of the corner of his eye and have felt someone tap him on the shoulder and when he turns around theres nothing.sometimes he hears foot steps behind him thinking its one of the kids but again theres no one.our kids are ages 1-10 so theyre too small to tap him on the shoulder although it sounds like a child walking up behind u.theres no way we want to live in fear anymore here.i told him we have to think positive
Posted 05 November 2017 - 09:26 PM
Hi Gmorals, I think it could have been your whimpering in your sleep that brought on his unusual series of dreams. It was good that he could recognise that he was dreaming and tried to wake himself up. I know from personal experience the worst nightmares are those that happen in an environment that you are familiar with like your bedroom. If you have any doubts keep up your prayers, positive thoughts, and keep the lights on

Premiering this weekend on Starz was this year's animated offering, "Gnomeo & Juliet", featuring the voices of Emily Blunt and James McAvoy.
Two neighboring yards, the Montague's and the Capulet's are both littered with Garden Gnomes. The small figurines come to life when no humans are present, and spar with each other over and around the fence which separates the two lawns. The Redbricks and Blueberries are sworn enemies, but Gnomeo, a blue, and Juliet, a red, meet and fall head over heels for each other.
Which leads the movie to explore the time honored question…

"For Li-Young Lee
The likelihood of ever finding it is small.
It's like being accosted by a woman
And asked to help her look for a pearl
She lost right here in the street.
She could be making it all up,
Even her tears, you say to yourself
As you search under your feet,
Thinking, not in a million years…
It's one of those summer afternoons
When one needs a good excuse
To step out of a cool shade.
In the meantime, what ever became of her?
And why, years later, do you still,
Off and on, cast your eyes to the ground
As you hurry to some appointment
Where you are now certain to arrive late."
— From That Little Something

I made up a bunch of stickers yesterday.
Or maybe it was the day before. I get confused.
We wanted a little something to include with purchases.
They turned out so cute, I wanna stick them everywhere!
Anyway, here are some for you-
Just click and print on sticker paper (you can find in at an office supply store). Stick 'em on your cards, or your homework, or your friend, or your nose, or your friend's nose. . . Just don't go selling them, that wouldn't be cool.
Hope you're all having a just-right day.

The Biological Diversity Act 2002
The Act covers conservation, use of biological resources and associated knowledge occurring in India for commercial or research purposes or for the purposes of bio-survey and bio-utilisation. It provides a framework for access to biological resources and sharing the benefits arising out of such access and use. The Act also includes in its ambit the transfer of research results and application for intellectual property rights (IPRs) relating to Indian biological resources.
The Act covers foreigners, non-resident Indians, body corporate, association or organization that is either not incorporated in India or incorporated in India with non-Indian participation in its share capital or management. These individuals or entities require the approval of the National Biodiversity Authority when they use biological resources and associated knowledge occurring in India for commercial or research purposes or for the purposes of bio-survey or bio-utilisation.

Gardeners get plants ready for cold front
Garden City Manager Mike Styron in Bentonville to find out how the sudden cold front could affect the plants.
Styron said the hoop house is what they use at Garden City to protect their plants from cold weather. "The hoop house has Polly covering the top of it. It keeps the frost off the leaf of the plant and helps keep any type of dew from freezing on the leaf," said Styron.
Garden city management said the cold front shouldn't hurt most plants. Unless it reaches below 25 degrees then gardeners should put them indoors or cover them up.
"There's a product called Will Proof. That will insulate most plants for about a full zone. So if you spray it on in advance of a freeze it should insulate most plants for almost ten degrees," said Styron
Styron said, He's seen specific plants such as red buds and evergreens start to bloom in the last two weeks. Garden City Management said after this cold front passes their expecting a series of plants to blossom in our area.

Born on July 12, 1817, Thoreau would be 200 next Wednesday. He made such a large impression on so many hearts and minds, especially for someone who lived so locally and died so young.
I found this interesting article posted at Paris Review, while having coffee at the end of an urban bike ride yesterday.

Me for the woods! Such a wonderful summation of his legacy by Robert Frost is remembered by the essayist in Paris Review, along with words about the importance of getting lost.

1.I chose to buy from SSP as, when sourcing the Visitor Book, your site was one of the main ones to come up. I also liked the choice of different sizes, prices, orientation (eg portrait or landscape) etc of what you could provide.
2.Having received the book and backboard I ordered, I am very pleased with the quality and professional look of these products. Unfortunately, as this is something new being introduced to our Reception, I have not had the go-ahead from management to start using these yet.
3.The ordering process was simple, clear and straight-forward and the order arrived exactly when expected and was securely packaged.
4.I cannot see any areas necessary for improvement in your service and would be very happy to use you again.
5.I did not deal with a particular individual, it was all done online.
Rating: 5/5

1.We have plenty of Tamtorque clamps but needed some more power bits, I did a Google search, browsed through a few results, one wouldn't sell bits without selling the clamps, but we have plenty already, so I continued the search and you had a good price and very good customer reviews.
2.The product is as expected, exactly what we needed.
3. Price is good, no hassle, easy to order, reviews clear to see.
4. I didn't get a confirmation email after ordering, which I kept meaning to double check but never got round to. I was about to check when I received the email saying the order was out for delivery, but it was about a week later. So maybe an automated email at the ordering stage – I did check my junk folder but still didn't see one.

Mr. Speaker, it is unfortunate that the member has drawn the conclusion that he will not support this proposed legislation. This is legislation that was campaigned on in the last federal election, and the government got a very strong mandate. I think that Canadians as a whole want to see cannabis and marijuana dealt with in a very progressive fashion, and we have a bill that would really make a difference.
In terms of the criminal element, and the number of young people, this is good-news legislation. I would suggest to my Conservative colleagues across the way that they might want to reconsider their position on this proposed legislation. I believe society will be in a better place if we have a regime where there is strong regulation and the ability to keep more cannabis and marijuana out of the hands of children. We know that, here in Canada, we have the highest percentage per capita of children using cannabis of any country in the world.

Well, Friday Night Lights has officially ended, and for good this time. FNL has had more shots at an ending than any show not named One Tree Hill. The show's first and third season finales were both written as potential series finales before late renewals extended its life. And for those who watched the fifth season when it initially aired on DirecTV, the series ended back in February. Even the DVDs were released in April, but the show's final run on NBC finished up last night. So, sadly, Friday Night Lights, one of the best series of the last decade, is over.
And for all the controversial endings to classic shows over the last few years—The Sopranos, The Wire, Lost, Battlestar Galactica—I've never been as upset watching a finale as I was watching the finale to Friday Night Lights.
The final image of the series was Eric and Tami Taylor walking off the football field. This was the perfect ending for the series… except that the football field was in Philadelphia, not Texas. Continue reading

Moderna COVID Vaccine Trial Sees 20% "Serious" Injury Rate as U.S. Invests BILLIONS More on Experimental COVID Vaccines

Almost two weeks ago (May 18, 2020) Moderna put out a press release stating that they had seen positive results to the first phase of their COVID-19 vaccine trial. The news sent their stock prices surging, as the pharmaceutical company is working with Dr. Anthony Fauci and the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases which Fauci heads. However, that all changed on Tuesday, May 19, 2020, when Stat News published an article stating that Moderna did not produce any data to back their claims. read full story / add a comment

Story on Zero Hedge gets it right....
How does one define an economic reopening? I think most people would say that a reopening means that everything goes back to the way it was before the crisis; or at least as close as possible. Most people would also say that a reopening is something that will last. Simply declaring America has reopened while keeping many restrictions in place in certain parts of the country is a bit of a farce. And, reopening with the intention of implementing lockdowns again in a matter of weeks without explaining the situation to the public is a scam of the highest order read full story / add a comment

If the lockdown is killing more people through suicides than Covid in California then you can be sure it is doing much the same thing everywhere else and that includes Ireland and the UK. It is time now for people to release the true figures on suicide here in the last two months and not some covered up figure. We can be sure that the manipulated is so bad that even those who have died by suicide have been marked as Covid deaths.
Now this breaking news from California by doctors who have got a spine to stand up and say it as it is have spoken out. Unfortunately few doctors have done the same here. The medical establishment is in real danger of destroying their reputation through their sellout of their values and lack of integrity in this crisis read full story / add a comment

Across the nation, police are being told to not apprehend criminals but instead, to arrest parents at playgrounds, to arrest lone surfers on public beaches, to fine ministers and congregation members sitting in their cars listening to a service on the radio, and to restrict movement by creating one-way sidewalks. People have had enough. They are beginning to see the huge scam that has been perpetrated on the entire world over a viral infection with a global death rate of 1.4% (meaning, 1.4% of people infected with SARS-CoV-2 have a fatal outcome, while 98.6% recover). This is far fewer deaths than a severe flu season. read full story / add a comment

Prof Neil Ferguson who was the chief advisor to the UK government in the lead up to the Covid lockdown and was instrumental in bringing it about based his advice on the output of his own undocumented computer code he wrote 13 years ago. In the initial stages of the crisis his "model" predicted 500,000 deaths in the UK from Covid. Then a short time later, he revised his figures sharply downward and said his model now predicted to 20,000 deaths. This incidentally is the same number of deaths from flu in the UK in a typical year. So it appears to be the case that the UK has committed economic suicide based on software that no-one else could inspect in advance nor was there any independent verification. To make decisions based on this type of methodology is nothing short of criminal. And we haven't even got to the assumptions used which obviously are on equally shaky ground given one day the model was predicting 500,000 dead and then when obviously some level of correction was done, it was then only 20,000. read full story / add a comment

More reports from around the world on the illogical Covid lockdown. It is well known that doctors have been pressurized into being very liberal in assigning cause of death to Covid so as to push up the death numbers and distort the statistics which are already badly and blatantly manipulated.
A Republican state representative asked prosecutors to bring criminal charges against Colorados top public health official Thursday, claiming that she illegally falsified death records to inflate COVID-19 death totals.

As someone battling depression, I know how much the mentally ill are suffering during the Covid-19 lockdown
international / health / disability issues / other press Thursday May 21, 2020 21:42 by rt viewer
This story is from RT.com but is very relevant to people in all the lockdown countries as it is reported suicide rates are up at least 20% if not more. The media completely ignore the fact that the lockdown is killing far more people than the disease due to the total disruption to normal life. This story covers just one but important aspect of that, mental health. Suicide remains the biggest killer of men under 45 in the UK. The house arrest were all under is leaving vulnerable, mentally unwell people alone with their demons. I start every day with a small cocktail of moderately powerful medication. Quetiapine and amitriptyline washed down with a black coffee.

Trump Mobilizes Military to Deliver Coronavirus Vaccine Appoints Another Bill Gates Funded Big Pharma Exec as Chief Military Advisor
international / health / disability issues / other press Monday May 18, 2020 21:40 by 1 of indy
If it has not been clear to now that big Pharma is favoured by government, it should be now. This report illustrates the extent to which the US government is going to force vaccines on the population. As part of this deal the pharma companies will NOT be liable for any damages.
President Trump announced today (May 14, 2020) that he is mobilizing the military to distribute over 300 million doses of a coronavirus vaccine by the end of the year. Since the current population of the United States is around 330 million people, it would appear that the goal is to inject pretty much the entire population with this vaccine. read full story / add a comment

Applicants considering appeal to end burning forest wood as renewable and carbon neutral
In March 2019 applicants from six countries including the USA brought a claim stating that the EUs 2018 Renewable Energy Directive (RED II) will devastate forests and increase greenhouse gas emissions by promoting burning forest wood as renewable and carbon neutral.
On 11 May 2020 the EU Court published an order that the applicants who have brought this case, including individuals and groups from Estonia, France, Ireland, Romania and Slovakia, do not have legal standing and that it will not therefore make a decision on whether or not the biomass provisions of RED II should be annulled. read full story / add a comment

Zoom's end-to-end encryption isn't actually end-to-end at all. Good thing the PM isn't using it for Cabinet calls.
international / sci-tech / other press Sunday May 10, 2020 13:59 by 1 of indy 1 comment (last - friday may 29, 2020 01:37)
Everyone is using Zoom these days from work conference calls to family chats and quizzes. It's the new shiny star of the Corona-virus era. It is a godsend to save us. Well it turns out it isn't. It's encryption is not true encryption and it just uses TLS which allows the Zoom corporation to intercept and decrypt video chats and other data. TLS is also used by WhatsApp which is owned by Microsoft, so that allows Microsoft to easily mine all the messages from the 1.5 billion or so users.
This report on Zoom comes from the UK Tech Industry well known website TheReigster. Even though the report is from early April it is unlikely most people have been made aware of the full extent of the scandal.
Since then Zoom have no doubt fixed some of the glaring security holes but it is highly likely they not want to stop getting the data they had access to, so it would be reasonable to assume they are still getting it by backdoor means and not transmitting it encrypted so that it will be far harder to uncover read full story / add a comment

The New Jersey Rules of Professional Conduct that apply to lawyers practicing in New Jersey set forth the requirements regarding attorney fees charged to clients.
RPC 1.5 Fees
(a) A lawyer's fee shall be reasonable. The factors to be considered in determining the reasonableness of a fee include the following:
(1) the time and labor required, the novelty and difficulty of the questions involved, and the skill requisite to perform the legal service properly;
(2) the likelihood, if apparent to the client, that the acceptance of the particular employment will preclude other employment by the lawyer;
(3) the fee customarily charged in the locality for similar legal services;
(4) the amount involved and the results obtained;
(5) the time limitations imposed by the client or by the circumstances;
(6) the nature and length of the professional relationship with the client;
(7) the experience, reputation, and ability of the lawyer or lawyers performing the services;
(8) whether the fee is fixed or contingent.
(b) When the lawyer has not regularly represented the client, the basis or rate of the fee shall be communicated in writing to the client before or within a reasonable time after commencing the representation.
(c) A fee may be contingent on the outcome of the matter for which the service is rendered, except in a matter in which a contingent fee is prohibited by law or by these rules. A contingent fee agreement shall be in writing and shall state the method by which the fee is to be determined, including the percentage or percentages that shall accrue to the lawyer in the event of settlement, trial or appeal, litigation and other expenses to be deducted from the recovery, and whether such expenses are to be deducted before or after the contingent fee is calculated. Upon conclusion of a contingent fee matter, the lawyer shall provide the client with a written statement stating the outcome of the matter and, if there is a recovery, showing the remittance to the client and the method of its determination.
(d) A lawyer shall not enter into an arrangement for, charge, or collect:
(1) any fee in a domestic relations matter, the payment or amount of which is contingent upon the securing of a divorce or upon the amount of alimony or support, or property settlement in lieu thereof; or
(2) a contingent fee for representing a defendant in a criminal case.
(e) Except as otherwise provided by the Court Rules, a division of fee between lawyers who are not in the same firm may be made only if:
(1) the division is in proportion to the services performed by each lawyer, or, by written agreement with the client, each lawyer assumes joint responsibility for the representation; and
(2) the client is notified of the fee division; and
(3) the client consents to the participation of all the lawyers involved; and
(4) the total fee is reasonable.
