Anxiety is a feeling we all get in a situation
that is threatening or difficult. The anxiety stops when you
get used to the situation, when the situation changes, or
if you just leave.
But if you feel anxious all the time, or for no obvious reason,
it can make life difficult.
This leaflet deals with three particular kinds of anxiety:
We hope it will be helpful for anyone who finds their
anxiety is a problem - but also for any friends and relatives
who want to understand more about it.
Anxiety feels like fear. When it's there a lot of the time,
caused by a problem in our life that can't be solved, like money
difficulties, we call it worry. If it is a sudden reaction to a
threat, like looking over a cliff or being confronted by an angry
dog, we call it fear.
Although worry, fear and anxiety are unpleasant, they can all be
These feelings become a problem when they are too strong or when
they carry on even when we don't need them anymore. They can make
you uncomfortable, stop you from doing the things you want to - and
can generally make life difficult.
In English, 'stress' can mean two different things:
This can make things confusing, so we don't use this term much
in this leaflet.
Some anxiety is good for you. It keeps you alert and can help
you to perform well. But only some. If it gets too intense, or goes
on for too long, it can make you feel bad and interfere with your
life. It can make you depressed and damage your physical
It's easy to worry that these feelings are the signs of a
serious physical illness - and this can make the symptoms even
worse. When anxiety and panic go on for a while, it's easy to start
to feel depressed - you start to feel down, lose your appetite and
see the future as bleak and hopeless.
Anxiety seems to take three main forms, but they overlap and
most people will probably experience more than one type.
You have the symptoms of anxiety most of the time.
You get unpredictable, sudden and intense attacks of
anxiety - often in a situation that is likely to make you anxious.
The feelings come on suddenly and reach a peak in 10 minutes or
less. You may also feel:
About a quarter of people who go to an emergency department with
chest pain thinking that they may be having a heart attack are
actually having a panic attack. Although the symptoms are much the
same as those for GAD, they are much more powerful and only last a
short time.
You feel really frightened of something that is not actually
dangerous and which most people do not find troublesome. The nearer
you get to the thing that makes you anxious, the more anxious you
get ... and so you tend to avoid it. Away from it you feel
Common phobias include:
About 1 in every 10 people will have troublesome
anxiety or phobias at some point in their lives. However, most
people with these problems never ask for treatment.
Some of us seem to be born a bit anxious - research suggests
that it can be inherited through our genes. However, even if
you aren't naturally anxious, you can become anxious if you are
under enough pressure.
A psychological explanation suggests that, for some people, it
is because they start to believe that the physical symptoms of mild
anxiety are symptoms of serious physical disease. This makes them
worry more, so the symptoms get worse, so they worry more ... and
so on.
Sometimes it is obvious what is causing anxiety. When the
problem disappears, so does the anxiety. However, there are
some circumstances that are so upsetting and threatening that the
anxiety they cause can go on long after the event. These are often
life threatening situations like car crashes, train crashes or
fires. If this happens to you, you can feel nervous for
months or years after the event, even if you weren't physically
It can also happen:
This is part of post-traumatic stress
Street drugs like amphetamines, LSD or Ecstasy don't help. Even
the caffeine in coffee can be enough to make some of us feel
uncomfortably anxious!
Many mental health problems can make you anxious. About
half the people with depression get panic attacks at some
Some physical problems, like thyroid disease, can make you feel
On the other hand, it may not be clear at all why you feel
anxious. It's a mixture of your personality, the things that have
happened to you, or big changes in your life.
Anxiety is very common and many of us overcome it or cope with
it without professional help. However, if it is severe or goes on
for a long time, anxiety can affect your physical health,
and stop you doing the things you want to do. The good
news is that there are ways to help yourself.
Someone with troublesome anxiety or a phobia may not talk
about their feelings, even with family or close friends. Even so,
it is usually obvious that things are not right. The sufferer will
tend to look pale and tense, and may easily be startled by normal
sounds such as a door-bell ringing or a car's horn. They may be
irritable and this can cause arguments with those around them,
especially if they don't understand why the person feels that they
cannot do certain things. Although friends and family can
understand the distress of an anxious person, they can find them
difficult to live with, especially if the fear seems
If you have an anxiety problem which just won't go away, you may
not ask for help because you worry that people might think that you
are "mad". They won't. It's a common problem and it's much better
to get help rather than suffer in silence.
This is a talking treatment which can help you to
understand how some of your 'habits of thinking' can make anxiety
worse - or even cause it - and to come to terms with reasons for
your anxieties that you may not have recognised yourself. The
treatment can take place in groups or individually, and is usually
weekly for several weeks or months.
There are now a number of computer programmes which you can use
to give yourself CBT. The National Institute for Health
and Care Excellence (NICE) recommend a programme called
for panic or phobia. You can get this through your GP.
If this is not enough, there are several different kinds of
professionals who may be able to help - the GP, psychiatrist,
psychologist, social worker, nurse or counsellor. Psychotherapists
may or may not be medically qualified.
Medication can play a part in the treatment of some people with
anxiety or phobias, The most common tranquillisers are the
valium-like drugs, the benzodiazepines (most
sleeping tablets also belong to this class of drug). They are very
effective in relieving anxiety, but they are also very addictive
after four weeks regular use. When people try to stop taking them,
they may experience unpleasant withdrawal symptoms which can go on
for some time. These drugs should only be used for short periods,
usually up to 2 weeks, perhaps to help during a crisis.
Antidepressants can help
to relieve anxiety, as well as the depression for which they are
usually prescribed. They usually take 2 to 4 weeks to
work and have to be taken regularly to work properly. One of
the newer SSRI antidepressants will usually be tried first -
if that is not helpful, one of the older tricyclic
antidepressants can be tried or a newer antidepressant called
Beta-blockers in low doses can sometimes
control the physical shaking of anxiety. They can be taken shortly
before meeting people or before speaking in public, or having to
Studies suggest that Valeriana officinalis (valerian) does not
seem to be helpful in anxiety, although Matricaria recutitat
(German chamomile) and Melissa
officinalis (lemon balm) 'show promise'. Piper
methysticum (kava) does seem to be effective, but is currently
banned in the UK because of worries that it can cause liver
The treatments that seem to work for the longest time are, in
descending order
Most children go through times when they feel very frightened
about things. It's a normal part of growing up. For instance, a
toddler will be very attached to their parents or the people who
look after them. Separation from them, for any reason, can make
them very anxious and upset.
Many children are scared of the dark or of imaginary
monsters. These fears usually disappear as the child grows
older, but they do not usually spoil the child's life or interfere
with their development. Most will feel anxious about important
events like their first day at school. Once it is over, the child
stops being frightened and is able to get on and enjoy the new
Teenagers often feel anxious. They tend to be worried about how
they look, what other people think of them, how they get on with
people in general, but especially about forming close
relationships. These worries can usually be helped by talking
about them. However, if they are too strong, other people may
notice that they are doing badly at school, behaving differently,
or feeling physically unwell.
If a child or teenager feels so anxious or fearful that it is
spoiling their life, it's a good thing to ask your GP for

The group that wants to develop a slot machine casino in the city has officially designated the 14-acre Wyman-Gordon property on Madison Street as the location for its "destination gaming facility."
Mass Gaming & Entertainment LLC, one of four applicants for the only slots license that will be awarded by the state, formally announced its site selection Sunday.
The $200 million plan also calls for development of a world-class, full-service hotel downtown.
Additional details are expected to be made public in the coming weeks.
Neil G. Bluhm, chairman of MGE, said his group, a subsidiary of Rush Street Gaming of Chicago, has spent more than a year looking for the right location for its slots development.
He said he believes the vacant Wyman-Gordon property is by far the best location for its new gaming facility.
"We have a proven track record for entering emerging casino markets and identifying the right metropolitan area which, coupled with the right neighborhood, creates a successful entertainment destination," Mr. Bluhm said in the statement Sunday.
"We are confident that our plan will create significant economic development for Worcester and we look forward to working closely with the city in bringing this project to reality," he added.
City Manager Michael V. O'Brien called MGE's formal selection of the Wyman-Gordon site an important first step.
He said that can now trigger local discussions and a formal review of the slot parlor proposal.
"We look forward to the weeks ahead and learning more on the intricate details of their proposal," Mr. O'Brien said. "The MGE team recognizes the value of our community and our goals and objectives for economic development. This is a great place to start these discussions."
The Massachusetts Gaming Commission, which will be awarding the slot parlor license, requires a local "host agreement" between the city and the gaming entity.
Because of the complexities involved, Mr. O'Brien said he intends to seek professional services to assist the city in coming up with that agreement.
"This agreement will require very complex terms and conditions," the manager said. "Gaming is a world unto itself.
"I have interviewed firms with expertise on all facets of gaming, as well as extensive knowledge of best practices for mitigation and protections for local communities and how to leverage the best for the city," he added. "I intend to engage these professional services shortly."
Mr. O'Brien said the Massachusetts Gaming Commission has set aside $75,000 for Worcester from MGE's $400,000 application fee to underwrite those costs.
He said all costs above $75,000 for the entire local approval process, from start to finish, will be covered by the developer.
With the site announcement, Mayor Joseph M. Petty said the City Council will soon be able to begin working with the city manager and soliciting public input on the proposal.
He said he will ask the city manager for an analysis of the state casino statute and a timeline that has to be followed so the City Council will have an idea of what has to be done and by when.
Mr. Petty said he has great confidence in the plan he has put forth to solicit neighborhood input. He wants to have the City Council's Economic Development and Public Safety committees conduct joint meetings in the neighborhoods to gather input and provide the city manager with direction.
"I have not seen the plans yet; I'd like to see what they look like," the mayor said in an interview Sunday night. "We will now follow a process with the city manager to get neighborhood input. It will be professionally done, and I think having the two council committees holding joint hearings in the neighborhoods will work out well. The end result is that the people of Worcester will have the final say on this."
District 5 City Councilor William J. Eddy said the issue that will be before the city's elected officials is not their individual positions on gaming, but whether the council can take a "responsible and professional approach" in working with the city manager on crafting the best possible host agreement for the city and then putting the matter before the voters.
He said he has great respect for the developers who want to make a substantial investment in Worcester. At the same time, he said, the City Council needs to hear from residents on their thoughts about such a proposal and how it might impact them.
"We owed it to them (MGE) and the people of Worcester to be inclusive in our dealings with the city manager," Mr. Eddy said in an interview. "It is our job to work with the city manager and provide some guidance in crafting an agreement for the city, and then let the voters of the city decide whether this is a good idea or not. It should have nothing to do about our viewpoints on gaming."
Voters will have the ultimate say on whether there is a slot machine casino here. After a host agreement is reached between the city and developer, a citywide referendum would be held to approve or reject the casino plan.
In Worcester's case, it would not be able to hold a referendum until after a host community agreement is executed and an applicant makes a request that a referendum be scheduled. The referendum would have to be scheduled 60 to 90 days after such a request.
In 2007, a nonbinding referendum question appeared on the Worcester ballot, asking voters
whether they supported having a casino in the city; 52.3 percent of those who voted supported the idea while 47.7 percent opposed it.
Three other casino developers have paid the initial $400,000 application fee to compete for the slot casino license. They are the owners of Raynham and Plainridge racetracks and a fourth bidder who has yet to identify a casino site.
The Wyman-Gordon property, located at 105 Madison St., is off Kelley Square. It extends from the Canal District to the Green Island neighborhood and is within a half-mile of Interstate 290, two miles from Route 146 and less than one mile from the center of downtown.
The property, assessed at about $4.3 million by the city, is currently under an option to Carpenter Worcester Associates, which is an affiliate of Carpenter & Co. a hotel developer based in Cambridge.
As part of the overall development, Carpenter plans to develop a first-class, full-service hotel on a separate downtown site that would include restaurants, meeting rooms and a ballroom.
The Wyman-Gordon property has been vacant for nearly a dozen years. Wyman-Gordon, a maker of metal parts and products, operated a sprawling complex there for more than 100 years. Demolition of the buildings on the property began in 2001.
Wyman-Gordon is now owned by Precision Castparts Corp. of Portland, Ore., and it continues to operate other facilities in Worcester.
Ronnie Brooks, manager of property and services for Wyman-Gordon's Eastern Division, said the company is "thrilled" that the slot parlor proposal could return the vacant site to productive reuse.
He said that will benefit Wyman-Gordon's neighbors and generate much-needed revenue and jobs for Worcester.
"It has long been Wyman-Gordon's goal to ensure that this parcel, so important to the history of Wyman-Gordon and the city, would be redeveloped as a central element contributing to the revitalization of the city," Mr. Brooks said. "Wyman-Gordon will continue to keep our other Worcester facilities in full operation and looks forward to being a good neighbor to the casino."
Redevelopment of that property has long been considered one of the keys to the city's economic development efforts because of its size and proximity to downtown and major transportation routes (I-290 and Route 146).
The company hired Cushman & Wakefield several years ago to market the property and attempt to identify a qualified developer, but those efforts produced no results.
Because the state of the economy had depressed property values, the company decided in 2009 to pull back on marketing the property.
Frustrated by the lack of action on the Wyman-Gordon site, the City Council in December decided to explore the feasibility of taking land by eminent domain. That action came when there was some talk about the property being eyed for a slots parlor.

It's been a good year for Vivian Taylor. Her appointment as vice president of community development and chief of staff in President Debora L. Spar's office marks an expanded area of outreach for a woman, who for the past 16 years as associate dean of studies, has helped to foster excellence and inspire Barnard sophomores who relied on her warm and thoughtful counsel. On a personal level, the year also brought the birth of her first grandchild, Maurice Timothy Brown, son of her older daughter, Avanti. Happily, Taylor gets to babysit on Monday nights when the young mother attends class in pursuit of her master's in business administration.
Her new role at Barnard calls for Taylor to broaden her purview to the entire College and the community beyond. She's actively involved in preparations for the opening of the Diana Center early in 2010. She also spearheads the special-events task force, charged with organizing and examining the myriad events scheduled by the various College departments. A representative for President Spar's office, she recently attended a Weekend Jam in Washington, D.C., along with 300 black, Latino, and Asian alumni from Barnard and Columbia; among the activities was a reception for Attorney General Eric Holder (CC '73, Law '76). Taylor represents Barnard as a member of the Morningside Area Alliance, a community-building group that includes several of the area's major educational institutions.
Taylor began to develop counseling and outreach skills as the oldest of six children. A graduate of Baltimore's Frederick Douglass Senior High School—the alma mater of Chief Justice Thurgood Marshall and Barnard English Professor Quandra Prettyman—she credits an English teacher with steering her toward college. At the University of Pittsburgh, she majored in communications and African theatre and earned a master's in education in counseling. During her university years, she met Timothy Taylor, a graduate of Carnegie Mellon.
The couple married in 1974, and moved to New York, where she obtained a position at Lehman College in the teacher education program. Positions followed at Fairleigh Dickinson University, then at Columbia where she was director of the talent-search component of the Double Discovery Program. There was time off to give birth to Avanti, and be a stay-at-home mom, but Taylor was restless and returned to work for a foster-care agency and as an educational consultant for the Children's Aid Society. She subsequently gave birth to a second daughter, Dara, now a student at Fordham.
Barnard recruited Taylor in 1984 for the Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP); three years later she was assistant dean of student affairs. Involved with multicultural programs, she helped to launch the Committee on Race, Religion, Identity, and Ethnicity (CORRIE). Dean Dorothy Denburg '70 then asked her to become a class dean, which she agreed to do with one qualification: She wanted to work with sophomores.
Why? Says Taylor, it's a difficult year of transition for most students. Second-years are supposed to be acclimated to campus life, but they face tremendous pressures: declaring a major, looking for an internship, or considering study abroad. Personal issues abound, such as less close ties to home and old friends, uncertainty about future directions, and challenges to values and expectations. As a testament to her generosity with her time, advice, and concern, Taylor remains a wise, comforting presence for many of the students she guided. But whether dispensing counsel to sophomores, spearheading a multicultural initiative, or ebulliently "working a room" on Barnard's behalf, Taylor says, "It all comes back to the students; all this is meant to benefit them and help them to be the best they can be."

Turner's double-double lifts 76ers over Cavaliers
Cleveland, OH – Evan Turner had 23 points and 13 rebounds as the Philadelphia 76ers took a 97-87 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday.
Jrue Holiday scored 20 points, Thaddeus Young added 18 points while Spencer Hawes had 16 points and 11 rebounds for the Sixers, who have won two straight.
"The ball was moving tonight and we did a good job with that," said Philadelphia head coach Doug Collins. "At first we were dribbling too much, but we started putting our shots up and I thought this was a solid game for us."
C.J. Miles scored 19 points and Tyler Zeller added 14 points and 10 boards for the Cavaliers, who have lost seven consecutive games.
"We got to the point where we stopped moving the ball and just got stagnant," said Cleveland head coach Byron Scott. "We just weren't doing anything with the ball and that was affecting us at the other end."
Cleveland scored the first six points of the game and closed out the first quarter with a 9-2 run, including a 3-pointer from Daniel Gibson, to take a 24-19 lead into the second quarter.
The Cavaliers continued to stay in front in the second quarter and a 6-0 run gave the team a 41-31 lead with under four minutes to play, but the Sixers ripped off the final nine points of the half to send the game into the break at 45-45.
Philly opened the third quarter with an 11-2 run to assume a 56-47 lead after Turner buried a 3-ball to cap the burst just over three minutes in. The team built its lead as high as 12 points in the frame before taking a 77-66 lead into the fourth quarter.
The Cavs started the fourth with an 8-1 run to cut their deficit to four, but Turner halted the burst with a trey and later hit a bucket for a nine-point lead with eight minutes to play.
Cleveland got it close again when a Zeller dunk made it 86-81, but Turner followed with another bucket and Holiday followed that with a bucket and triple for a 93-81 lead with just over four minutes to play.
The Cavs didn't get closer than 10 points the rest of the way.
Game Notes
Philadelphia hosts Charlotte on Saturday ... Cleveland plays in New Orleans on Sunday ... The Sixers have taken two of three from the Cavaliers this season ... The Sixers shot 48.8 percent in the game and held the Cavaliers to 43.0 percent shooting.

Al Sharpton and all those other leaders, black, white or whatever, who are calling Martin's death an act of racism need to read this, but alas, they already know this. So sad to keep stirring the pot and blame it on whites.
How a Miami School Crime Cover-Up Policy Led to Trayvon Martins Death
By Robert Stacy McCain on 7.15.13
The February 2012 shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin might never have happened if school officials in Miami-Dade County had not instituted an unofficial policy of treating crimes as school disciplinary infractions. Revelations that emerged from an internal affairs investigation explain why Martin was not arrested when caught at school with stolen jewelry in October 2011 or with marijuana in February 2012. Instead, the teenager was suspended from school, the last time just days before he was shot dead by George Zimmerman.
Trayvon Martin was not from Sanford, the town north of Orlando where he was shot in 2012 and where a jury acquitted Zimmerman of murder charges Saturday. Martin was from Miami Gardens, more than 200 miles away, and had come to Sanford to stay with his fathers girlfriend Brandy Green at her home in the townhouse community where Zimmerman was in charge of the neighborhood watch. Trayvon was staying with Green after he had been suspended for the second time in six months from Krop High School in Miami-Dade County, where both his father, Tracy Martin, and mother, Sybrina Fulton, lived.
Both of Trayvons suspensions during his junior year at Krop High involved crimes that could have led to his prosecution as a juvenile offender. However, Chief Charles Hurley of the Miami-Dade School Police Department (MDSPD) in 2010 had implemented a policy that reduced the number of criiminal reports, manipulating statistics to create the appearance of a reduction in crime within the school system. Less than two weeks before Martins death, the school system commended Chief Hurley for decreasing school-related juvenile delinquency by an impressive 60 percent for the last six months of 2011. What was actually happening was that crimes were not being reported as crimes, but instead treated as disciplinary infractions.
In October 2011, after a video surveillance camera caught Martin writing graffiti on a door, MDSPD Office Darryl Dunn searched Martins backpack, looking for the marker he had used. Officer Dunn found 12 pieces of womens jewelry and a mans watch, along with a flathead screwdriver the officer described as a burglary tool. The jewelry and watch, which Martin claimed he had gotten from a friend he refused to name, matched a description of items stolen during the October 2011 burglary of a house on 204th Terrace, about a half-mile from the school. However, because of Chief Hurleys policy to lower the arrest rates, as one MDSPD sergeant said in an internal investigation, the stolen jewerly was instead listed as found property and was never reported to Miami-Dade Police who were investigating the burglary. Similarly, in February 2012 when an MDSPD officer caught Martin with a small plastic bag containing marijuana residue, as well as a marijuana pipe, this was not treated as a crime, and instead Martin was suspended from school.
Either of those incidents could have put Trayvon Martin into the custody of the juvenile justice system. However, because of Chief Hurleys attempt to reduce the school crime statistics according to sworn testimony, officers were basically told to lie and falsify reports Martin was never arrested. And if he had been arrested, he might never have been in Sanford the night of his fatal encounter with Zimmerman.
In fact, the reason Zimmerman was patrolling the townhouse community the night of the February 2012 shooting was that there had been a rash of burglaries in the neighborhood, although there was no indication that Trayvon Martin was involved in any of those crimes.
As for Chief Hurleys policy, it was the controversy over Martins death that accidentally exposed it. In March 2012, the Miami Herald reported on Martins troubled history of disciplinary incidents at Krop High. Chief Hurley then launched the internal affairs investigation in an attempt to find out who had provided information to the reporter. During the course of that investigation, MDSPD officers and supervisors described Chief Hurleys policy of not reporting crimes by students. Chief Hurley was subsequently accused of sexually harassing two female subordinates. He resigned in February, about a year after Trayvon Martins death.

Hi guys,
I'm new to sensha and to some extent js. I've created a test app with list and detail forms, pretty standard stuff I guess. Here's my list definition:
You can see that the selectedJob is passed to the JobEditor.Code:MyApp.views.requestsList = new Ext.List({ id: 'requestsList', store: 'RequestJobStore', onItemDisclosure: function (record) { var selectedJob = record; MyApp.views.JobEditor.load(selectedJob); MyApp.views.viewport.setActiveItem('JobEditor', { type: 'slide', direction: 'left' }); }, itemTpl: '
{Name}

{Company}
', listeners: { 'render': function (thisComponent) { thisComponent.getStore().load(); } } });
Now the JobEditor displays some of the fields in the Job data object. In the JobEditor's code I know I can get the value of these by
What I want to know is, how can I get the value of the other fields? The fields in the JSON object passed to the FormPanel, that do not have textfields?Code:MyApp.views.JobEditor.getValues().FieldName
I'm hoping I don't have to resort to dodgy invisible textfields or something. Not that I know how to do that either. Can anyone advise me please?

Players of Call Of Duty have complained that there are some seriously bad spawns in the game, especially in the map Dome where YouTuber iFeN0M has managed to get 76 kills in one whole minute.
Wow, that is all I have to say
It is not impressive at all, even the video creator says it.
This along proves why COD 5 an up have terrible MP.
Over 200 kills, around 4 MOABs. All in 1 match...
not one match but one round of demo!
Jesus Christ....and yet the VGAs proclaimed this game shooter of the year. fffffuuuuu!
Cod5 didn't have "terrible" multiplayer. It was basically just cod4 with a ww2 skin. There was ONE unbalanced gun in world at war, but it wasn't game ruining.
It's more like Modern Warfare 2 and up have had terrible multiplayer, but the worst you can say about world at war was that it was average/nothing special.
I think Battlefield 3 is 10 times better than Modern Warfare 3 !!
@Andreas-Sword 10x? seriously? That's being a little generous. I would rather play hello kitty island adventures than another crappy MW game -_-
@ rezzah,
I didn't hear the narrator (who was the player) didn't say it was "impressive".. He stated a number of times that he "had to show the world this video because it should never happen" he also went on to say "the fact that this can happen proves how bad this game really is" and that MW3 maps (dome in particular) have "the shittiest spawns ever."
If anything he seemed more like he was trying to prove a point about the broken state of MW3's multiplayer, rather than gloat about his killstreak.
By looking at the radar, you can obviously tell everyone on the winning team is in on it. There set in a specific location to spawn trap the other team. I'm in no way defending the game. The spawn system on DOME is obviously broken to shit if this is happening. Just saying, this won't happen in any other map. No matter how broken the spawn system is, IT JUST WON'T HAPPEN WITH A DECENT TEAM.
Again the other team must be total crap. And the winning team must be a full squad working as a team, I mean, if you can call it working as a team. And anyone with half a brain wouldn't and shouldn't keep spawning if there in this situation. They should have just left instead of giving this guy free kills.
Take a look back at Bad Company 2. Countless times you would get people spawn trapped. It wouldn't be hard either. And its impossible to get out of it especially when you have their damn chopper circle strafing your spawn. Even harder when the steal your chopper as well, with tanks in your base. As soon as you spawn, you would be dead. I know to just not even bother continue playing if that's going on. Especially if I just joined the game. And countless times I would be on the team doing the spawn trapping. Its basically Killing Paradise. As soon as they spawn, blast them. Easy stuff.
I've done it several times on BF3. Its of course harder but its still possible on certain maps. This can happen with any game. You have a random crappy team going up against another squad that has a full squad of people coordinating their moves, you can almost know from the start who's going to win.
Again, I'm in no way defending CoD. Just stating some facts.
There is none of this on BF3. So no you're not stating facts.
Also, you were bad if you couldn't get out of a spawntrap in BC2 (Unless an Atacama Spawntrap) and even worse that you allowed yourself to get spawn trap.
What happened in that video has never happened to anyone in BF3 or BC2.
Really? Never happened in BC2? You obviously never played it then. Anybody here who isnt blind can tell you Atacama Desert had this happen a lot. What was really annoying was those circle strafing choppers. It happened a lot. Don't deny it. I put enough hours to know and experience this on several other maps.
I've never had this happen to me in BF3 but I've been on the side doing the spawn trapping. Hasn't happened much but I've been in games that has had this happen several times. Again, I stated not as much but it happens on occasions. Like you said, this wouldn't happen unless the team was bad so they deserved it. Well I guess you can say that here on this situation. They probably deserved it for being horrible players.
Dunno why everyone's disagreeing with him, BC2 did have a lot of spawn camping and spawn-trapping. I never had an issue with ground troops, just spawn and blow their brains out. But the chopper whores who circle-strafe into oblivion is what made it all broken. I dunno why there were no mobile AA-units in the game, nor why there was no infantry AA weapons like a stinger, only stationary weapons. The choppers could easily tell when you were in a stationary AA weapon and blow it (and you) to hell without much of an issue. Getting a kill with normal rockets was possible, but pretty rare as it was mostly luck-based, especially with the heli's constantly lagging through the air.
Oh well, just another example of how BF2 > BC2 and pretty much every other BF ever lol.
Has never happened to me on BF3 but I've spawn trapped people before in BC2
@ALL_STAR_28 "What happened in that video has never happened to anyone in BF3 or BC2."
True maybe in the sense that the quick spawn and death might not happen in BF3 (as it takes awhile to spawn in BF3.) But BF3 does have some maps that need work.
Oman on CQ Assault has a map level that allows the attacking forces to spawn camp once they take over all the flags. And spawn camping by the fact that you can hang out directly in their spawn and just wait for the team to pop in and die at your hands. Not a single thing can be done once this level reaches that point. As that single location is then the only place they can spawn at that point.
Still not the failure that COD brings to multiplayer spawn camping. But still a failure in the sense they need to fix it in many of their levels.
BC2 or Battlefield 3 doesn't have this kind of problem. There was spawn camping indeed, but people weren't spawned in a single location to be killed several times by simply standing in a single spot. 2-3 coordinated guys could sneak out of spawn camping in BC2.
I've spent a crap load of time on BF3 and i've never seen what your talking about. I don't know on BC2 but on BF3 i think ur lieing on and i say this because even if your team is pined it spawns way outside of the area. It would be next to imposable.
Dude...are you in denial? No other FPS Multiplayer game is as screwed up as COD...once people figure out the pattern (Which isn't very hard to do) you can't play a decent game at all.
The only solution is to play a better FPS. Imo Battlefield 3 clearly trumps this game in every possible way (pc)
I think some here are confusing spawn trapping with base raping. Spawn trapping was very unlikely because of the size of the maps and the fact that you could spawn on your squamate.
Even in BC2 a smart player could work their way out of a spawn camp. Teamwork and smoke could usually get you out of a spawn trap. The real problem is the lone wolf mentality of most gamers. That why I like squads in BF. You can spawn on someone. And BF has multiple spawn spots in any given area.
Easily fixed if they give a 2 second invincibility. What game spawns you w/o invulnerability? Even Battlefield doesn't allow players into the deployment area. They spawn all players away from battle, but since MW3 is such a small area, it might seem harder. That shows how bad this game is and not to be compared to a massive battleground that BF3 has. This should kill the comparisons and show why MW3 is not equal to BF3
Thank God this guy made this video. THANK YOU. The game is embarrassing to the entire franchise and it's pretty much irrefutable when proof like this pops up.
I would quit this game if this stuff happens frequently, but I never run into too many bad spawns. It does happen time to time, but not enough where I'm ready to quit the game for good. They do need to fix this issue though. I like both BF3 and MW3, if you guys like the one or the other, don't bash on the opposition, just be glad we have both franchises, and have options to play different Shooters.
All of them on the winning team are in on it, and they have another guy in split screen acting as a fall guy to keep the game running. From his gamertag 'iNsAnity iZ b4k' (insanity is back), he more than likely has been banned before.
Oh well at least all of them are going to get banned now for cheating/boosting.
they're not cheating or boosting though, simply exploiting what is clearly a fault in the map
Kinda like MW2 huh?... Same game, same issues.
Ah, another article shows how terrible a game Modern Warfare 3 is and I suddenly need to release a turd like hell. See you soon
For the ppl complaining about spawning learn your lesson stop buying bs and you won't have to complain. Instead of plying COD I'm putting massive hours in on UC3 and dnt have to worry bout tht on mp. Some ppl never learn activision and its partners don't give a #*ck about ur gaming exp at this point anymore.
I actually remember the spawning in UC3 was terrible in the beta haha, so I was a bit afraid to get online when I bought the game. Who would of thought....a beta fixed the issue and its not here in the final game.
Perhaps Activision could call up Naughty Dog and ask them how a beta works.
Yeah the first beta was sweet and the second one was a nighmare that many questioned what drugs ND were on due to the abou face. However I was an avid visitor to the forums and once the posts about issues such as blind fire kills, sprint, spawning, etc... Started coming in ND was quick to listen to the fans and make things right. I can honestly say that the beta testing and advice from fans shaped the mp to be the great beast it is now. I've never experienced spawn killing in UC3. Its sad I was a big mw fan and now unless they change their tune and fix the bs issues and upgrade the monotonous gameplay it has become I won't buy another.
I'd rather not play either of those games terrible and unbalanced multiplayer modes. They both suck.
Hey everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I beg to differ I haven't been getting in any unbalanced games as of late everyone I get matched with for thr most part is level 75 or lower level legacy. You can't pull me away from this game and my girl who isn't even a gamer has become one since uc2 mp. Some games I do good some mediocre but in no way or form is uc3 mp terrible, if anything its one of the most fun mps I've ever played and I've beengaming since I was like 12 and I'm 33 now.
Man, one of those guys on the other team got 0 kills and 114 deaths... They didn't even spawn in a general area, it's the EXACT same place. Just awful.
Yes, and people still claim BC2 had similar problems. It is not even similar to begin with. See how the guy spawning in the other corner at about 1:30 takes out the player? That should have happened much earlier.
Fair play to the guy doing the video, hopefully this will put some sort of pressure on IW cus imo your enjoyment on COD depends on how lucky you get. Theres no skill in the video as demonstrated and there's no skill when I get killed and then spawn behind the guy that killed me, the guy already in my cross-hairs lol
I've never once spawned in the spot
Probably a boosting room
That corner has put me in a death streak on more than one occasion.
0 and 114
0 and 107
26 and 69
7 and 25
7 and 35
Sorry no one stays for a beating like that.
Doesn't mean anything. Bottom line is the spawn generator kept dropping them there. Maybe he explained to them what he was doing before the round so they wouldn't quit...but that doesn't change anything if true. He wasn't trying to show off anything other than the broken maps.
Spawning is like math equation. If these things happen then this will happen.
So if you watch the map at the same time. They are spawning in other areas... his team mates are spawn killing them there.
And I know the spawns suck, but this isn't not an accurate representation of that.
Oh really??watch this.
He DID say that half the enemy team was AFK; you could see by those scores that the other half were at least TRYING to get out of it.
@wikkid when was the last time you played MW2 ?
People be like 2 and 17 and 5 and 20 while im on the same team and im like 30 and 5.
Its like they just randomly give the best person all the horrible people in the lobby or put all the good people on one team and put all the horrible people on one team ... I play merc. team death match.
Not to mention the randomly generated extra accurate auto aiming or the aiming down sights and when someone get in sight the gun moves off target like an negative magnet they give players....
This is def. boosting. Funny how he only dies when he gets his MOAB. Also, I have never, ever spawned in the same spot more than 1-2 times. They spawn trapped the team. Half of the team wasn't playing, so all they did was cover all areas of a small map except that garage and forced the game to spawn them in an area where there an on enemies. This guy is selling propaganda. He and his teams set this spawn trap up. The game spawns you, well it TRIES to spawn you away from an enemy, if you are in a small map and cover all portions of it but one little room, they will spawn there. Didn't you people notice how none of his team went to the spot he was to rack up some easy kills? They had to stay in particular spots for the enemy to continuously spawn there. This guy is a booster and an scumbag. The only reason he has a narrative like this is so he attempts to make it look like he is showing a flaw so IW doesn't ban him. If it's so cheap and bullsh*t, wouldn't you stop doing that to give the team a legit chance? This guy is a f*g.
This is why the game is crap. No skill necessary. That not even fun to just get kills like that. Where's the challenge. Horrible game just horrible.
What's crazy is the guy making the video says the game is complete $h!t yet he went out a bought it. Its not the first MW game that you could do this on. The perks alone make MW bull$h!t.
i'm glad i don't play cod or bf games. 501-8.that video makes me sick.
i guess i would blow my tv and pad, before turning off my ps3 and scratch the disk.
i remember, when i finished killzone 3 single mission, i played online for 3-4 hours, and even if i'm not a good player, i could make 10-15 kills in a session. a couple of times, i even managed to finish first.and without all those perks and special stuff. just playing, picking my class and gun, and fire.
never did i get caught in a spawn shit like that. i really had a great time playing killzone 3 online. unfortunately, i had no time to play online, and stop playing. but i bet if one of these days, i go online, i will still have a lot of fun, and , even with my little skills on fps, i will do some frags.
i imagine the guys that were getting killed over and over, on the video: saying SHIIIIIIII-T, every 3 seconds, all night long :)
LOL you know they wont fix it. I remeber 2 months after MW2 released another youtube commentator WINGSOFREDEMPTION exposed the one man army noobtube exploit. Till this day it has not been fixed
Knowing activision they will use this as a another marketing ploy for the next COD saying how much more balanced and fixed it is while in reality nothing more than a copy and paste with the exact same problems
man, just watch cod sales since the beginning.and do a graph.
you will see like 3-6-9-12-15 millions. maybe codmw3 will sell 16-17 millions.
activision already know people are waiting for another cod game, in november 2012.whatever may happen, even if the game is broken, people will buy it.and they know it.2013 story is already being written.and 2014 version too. they don't care about what a few 50'000 guys will say, complain, etc. they think about the 17.950 million people that will buy the game.
look at killzone 2, the team worked hard with the engine, so everything is better. look at uncharted 1: naughty dog kept working on the engine, so we could have that snow on uc2, and sand, water, fire on uc3.
look at many other games, studios keep working hard on their game engines, so people get a better game, with more particles, better textures and graphics, better everything.
now, just watch cod games. they keep using the same fu-ing engine, over and over. i'm still waiting for a new graphic engine, with some crazy stuff going on.bu no, they keep using the same shit, man, we're in 2012. ,mw3 graphics are good, for a 2006-7 game. not a 2011-12 game. why would they spend one year, making a new engine ? all they want is selling 20 millions units, in november 2012. same engine, same stuff, just do 20 millions x 60 = 1.2 billion. why would they change the formula ?
all they want is making cod games, some new levels, new maps, and here you have madam, a new cod game.
microsoft don't need to rely on other games. forza or gears or halo not selling that good ? no problem. at least, 10 million xbox owners, because there isn't many great aaa games to play, will buy cod, and will go live, which means a live gold subscription.that makes 10 million live gold subscriptions.other sales don't count. only cod do count for microsoft.
i bet in us, 50% of x360 consoles are bought only for halo and cod games. so yeah, it's really important to microsoft that a cod game is released every year: people will have a fresh version of the game, let's be honest, every cod game, it's not a new game. it's the same old shit, only maps change.and another version means another gold subscription for 1 year, to microsoft. perfect business, right ? before people click on disagree like a mad, accept the fact this is the truth...
activision is giving microsoft and gamers what they want : some new maps, every year.
they must have developed an engine, they click on "generate", and you have a new map, with cars, barrels, buildings, randomly spread on the map. they just need to fine tune things, and in one week, the map is done.
a guy from R&D: "dear activision ceo, people are asking for a new graphic engine, they are tired of seeing the same textures, the same quality, the same stuff, repeated every year"
activision ceo : "F-uck you"
activision shareholders: "yeah, F-uck you"
microsoft sales man: "yeah, double F-uck you"
LOL COD is the top selling games on the PS3 by a mile so your argument is flawed.
I guess it ain't broke, though, right, CoD fans? Nothing wrong with this game at all, right? 20 million people WANTED this, right? They all voted with their wallets for THIS, right?
Well said, I would like to see people try to defend this atrocious atrocity. Hopefully some people will see this and realize how lazy the devs are. How hard would it have been to throw in a couple more spawn points?
This is inexcusable.
the crappy part is, we all knew this was gonna happen deep down. none of us wanted to believe that they could fail for the 4th time in a row
60 dollars well spend , now time to buy DLC with mw2 maps because i don't realise i could just play mw2 -__-
0 improvements and even worse lag, maps, sound, character animations, and spawns from previous CODs. You are literally buying a downgrade if you get this game, imo.
Even though I was looking forward to this game, you are correct unfortunately. Definitely feels like a downgrade.
Ok, I don't have anything against MW3 but WOW, what a crappy spawn system...
I hope kids will stop giving away their parents hard earned money to cod at some point.
thats fcked.....but he saids the game is shit and his legit but he plays on that map and takes credit for the kills?top 100?
Go look this guy up. He is mearly pointing out an obvious flaw with the game. If you look at any of his previous videos you will know he is a legit player.
seen his videos on black ops pointing out boosters....im just sayin he did this in a rank match not a private lobby so theres 76 kills to his record now.... cool he pointed it out....spawns really suck in every game people need to get over it....im just saying every video i see him in...he bitches about COD and he keeps playing them...BF3 i have and own both....but MW3 and CODs won the battle u can say they got more votes on ign and other sites....but COD made more money at the end of the day is what matters
Ah, good point. Maybe he wasnt intending to do this when the match started?
Lol not sure... but then again in a private lobby he would have to get a whole bunch of people together and pretty much coordinate it.
And i have to disagree with spawning sucking in every game. Most games actually have either fairly decent or even good spawn points.
The last part of what you said confuses me. I think your talking about how BF3 has more votes on IGN, however you worded it as if CoD had more votes.
Though i do agree, at the end of the day the sales are what matter most..... to the company MAKING the game.
If more people see videos of how broken games like this become, or worse yet experience it first hand, as he says in the video they will more then likely not want to play the game again, and will probably choose to skip on the sequal.
most games rainbow 6 had shit spawns u could camp outside of the building...most games even bf3 u kno where the other team is comin its right in front of you....atleast mw3 u never know where their coming....besides this one map and maybe some more if you team locks down a part of the map......people bitch about mw2 and bought black ops people bitch about black ops and bought mw3....when the next game comes out its going to do the same thing people are going to buy it....im far from a COD fanboy i have the mw3 and havent even open it yet.....but as far as posting videos to see how bad the game is broken and people aint going to buy it...i doubt that its just going to cause more fanboys going at it...and if posting videos help votes or people not buying the game then why the hell is skyrim still selling on the ps3 and xbox with all its problems...but i was talking about ign Bf3 vs mw3 and bf3 won the best mp and all that...sorry if i worded that wrong
Wtf acemonkey
Cod made more money thats what counts F ME if thats how you think then i feel sorry for you.
Goodness dont worry about quality work and gameplay,lets just make another cod cos sales well thats what matter's
I'm sorry acemonkey, but you're clueless.
" but MW3 and CODs won the battle u can say they got more votes on ign and other sites....but COD made more money at the end of the day is what matters"
Utterly ridiculous. And worst part is, Activision are just abusing the uninformed consumers. (I know, I know, some people are informed, and like it)
Fool me once..
Fool me twice..
Fool me 3, 4, 5
Combo, multi fool me (with mortal kombat voice)
fool me..22,23, MOAB here i come, 24, ..DAMN some punk spawned 2 feet behind me

Kei released an .ass script for the new episode, which should work with any Raw with the normal cuts.
Really quite interesting with the dialogue. So, Sheryls codename is Fairy-9? I wonder who were the other 8 projects before her? And what happened to them, after they were "discarded"? I guess killed using those pills or other means, but it´d be interesting to see a little bit about that in the show.
I guess it is a very strong possibility that Sheryl and Ranka are related by blood, the one a clone and the other a direct descendant of Rankas mother. I´ll love the moment the two of them get to know that information.
Also, Ozma and Cathy do suspect Leon. Finally!

* It was a clip show/recap... but everything is starting to come together now. Grace/Brera/Leon, Ranka/Sheryl/Alto, Leon/Kathy/Ozma, Klan/Michael, and Luca and Nanase had to be doing something cool off screen...
* Ranka learning from Paris and Britney on the beaver slip?
* The voices are really trippy... super advanced AI? Neural network of cyborgs? Cylons? Borg? OMGWTFBBQ
* What 'bout my star duet = pure epicness. Dancing at each other's back was hot stuff. Ranka's fang made an appearance. Alto was impressed... who knew that could happen?
* Grace is a bitch. Once Sheryl finds out, it's on.
* Zentradi have it good; their model trains can literally be real human sized trains.
* Musicals = win.

Nope still sucks compared to the original and the same for Megumi's DC.
Anyway this is probably the best half recap half new episode of anime I've watched in a long time, probably since Scryed and this was better.
The sing off was epic, welcome to my fanclub was pretty much an awesome amv. Galaxy fleet looks pretty strong.. if they have squadrons of vf-27's... I hate to make the comparsion but I wonder if Frontier will use Sheryl in a Lacus type roll against Galaxy.. though I can see Grace and co completely trashing her if they try.. "she's just a clone (or whatever she is) whose success was courtesy of us, blah blha blah".

Now a real scandal material is this love triangle with a pilot in between.
Loved that Alto was like a terrified cornered animal with these two girls.
It's something like this is why Alto was weary of both girls attending school.
Wonder if there will be some taboid ep like in M7.
Notice when Sheryl begins her love attack her earing sparkles. Now these crystals even Ranka's inside her are emotionally triggered.

I just watched Kei's sub and enjoyed the episode at least as much as raw. That duet scene is a real classic. It's great to have a better idea of what's being said. And I loved the early battles-set-to-music scenes. What a sound-and-light show.
The semi- recap episode makes sense, since we are about to enter a pretty intense run to the finish, it seems to me.
The character design was pretty badly off-model for Sheryl and Grace in the hospital room, and in some other places. But it ended up not mattering too much, since there was so much else of interest to make me forget it.
Hats off to Kei for getting a useful sub out so quickly. There were a number of places where I thought the English was unidiomatic, and some where I thought it didn't give the right nuance of the Japanese (where I understood the Japanese), but it was great to watch. The speed of English subs is beginning to catch up to that of Chinese subs (but not quite yet).

this ep was really good! the first half of the episode or should i call the recap was kind of ehhh boringish but the other half was really good. When Alto entered sheryl's room, sheryl was all happy and i was like dang it! then ranka comes in and i'm like yay! i luv ranka soo much<3 and the duet between sheryl and ranka got me really hyped up, nothing's better then doing a duet to win a guy's heart and brera is a PRINCE?! i might be wrong but does dis mean brera and ranka r related? (hopes for no incest) hmmm...
i absolutely love the new version diamond crevasse ed song, could sumone tell me who sang it? i was thinking ranka's singer sang it but i wasn't sure

Dangit all those Concert flashbacks at the start made me fall for sheryl all over again to the point that I could feel myself unconsciously rolling my eyes everytime they kept trying to hype ranka's popularity now...Ranka's cute for sure, but when it comes to sex appeal and the ability to put on a good concert she just comes across as too much of a little girl...
Meh like everyone says I just hope her super move meter is getting plenty of beefing up and she'll be back in top form soon...

Heheh. seem's more like TXT speak to me rather than l33t 5p43k to me.... ^_^
Well this ep turns out like one of those high school musical scenes. and !!!YaY for Ranka ATTACK!!!
YaY for mr. Densha Otaku!!!! getting some bad vibes from the impending Sheryl doom(/sweat). The "Galaxy" is not big enough for the two faeries... in the end there could be only one. Nice Sheryl vs. Ranka Battle !!!! Ranka Attack vs. Sheryl Attack!!!! i commend Sheryl for still being able to launch a counter attack to Ranka despite her not feeling well, at the end Alto is the casualty of their battle.
and yes. this is one of the best recap episodes ive ever seen, usually i treat recaps like it did'nt happen. good thing i did'nt skip.

We got more insight in this recap episode. I knew all along that Grace and Leon were in on this scheme. I just hope that they'll both get for what they deserved for sabotaging Frontier and destroying Galaxy. That duet was the best and Alto suddenly has a case of the shakes.

I don't know about the rest of you, but this love triangle REALLY depresses me. Two girls competing for the attention of one guy.
On top of that, when you're rooting for both Sheryl and Ranka, a competition to shine in singing ensues. I'd really hate to see either get shot down.

I still remember people complaining about how Diamond Crevasse was butchered. If you want to know a song that was truly butchered, check out Shizukana Yoru ni C.E. 73. The lyrics absolutely do not match the tempo.
Since nobody is answering my question, I'll ask again. For Kei Subs, the time is 10 min 44 sec. If you take a look at the picture on the cover of the magazine Sheryl is holding, is it just me or is that Brera Sterne on the cover? Note: The picture changes to Ranka during a closeup a minute or so later.

Today I dismantled a Hard disk drive. I found the spindle motor has three contacts; therefore I suspect its a 3 phase bi-polar stepper motor. I will over time use this inside a small head (perhaps a dolls head), together with the passive infra-red detectors found in PIRs for burglar alarms, to detect and then follow a human entering a room. If anyone has some circuit suggestions I'm all ears (not literally!) (firstname.lastname@example.com).
At present I am building CYBOT a `Real Robots' magazine kit. I have saved the parts from several issues so that I can have a building spree and see something movable, that way I keep the enthusiasm going (at least that's my theory).

Every bride wants to walk down the aisle in the perfect dress. These days, that gown could cost anywhere from several hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars.
Celebrity brides certainly make a splash with their opulent designer dresses. And at Kleinfeld, the New York bridal emporium, the most expensive gown ever sold was a custom design for $60,000, though most gowns are $3,500 and up.
But in reality, most of us aren't spending close to that much.
American brides spent less than $1,200 on their dress last year, according to two reports. The Wedding Report found that women spent an average of $1,166, while a study by TheKnot.com and WeddingChannel.com estimated the amount at $1,121.
The good news for budget-conscious brides is that the selection of stylish gowns below that level has grown in recent years, says Anja Winikka, TheKnot.com's site editor. Wedding gowns are turning up in department stores and at chain retailers like Ann Taylor and J.Crew, the subject of a CNBC documentary.
"They don't have to sacrifice style," Winikka said of today's brides. "You can still find the dress of your dreams. You just have to do your homework."

Urban targets animal abuse as precursor to violent crime
Hartford - State Rep. Diana Urban, D-North Stonington, has introduced a bill in the General Assembly that would appoint an animal advocate in animal cruelty cases.
The advocates, which would be University of Connecticut law students or pro bono attorneys, would work to ensure that those accused in such cases are ordered to undergo counseling and/or serve prison terms and would not be allowed into programs such as accelerated rehabilitation, which end up erasing the arrest from their record.
"We want a conviction with counseling," she said. "We need to have this on the record."
Urban, who is co-chairwoman of the legislature's Children's Committee, stressed that research shows a clear link between animal and human abuse and rattled off graphic cases across the state in which animal cruelty was part of domestic violence incidents.
Urban also said another study has shown 80 percent of mass murderers began by abusing animals.
"The research is irrefutable," she said. "The people who do these kind of things also have a proclivity for violence towards children and adults."
Urban, who is known for her work on issues involving children and animals, said that the courts have not taken the problem seriously. But she said she has been able to get the issue on the agenda this year for the annual judge's summit.
The legislature's judiciary committee is slated to hold a hearing on Urban's proposal - House Bill 6690 - at 10 a.m. Friday in the Legislative Office Building.
Urban originally wanted to get the law included in the sweeping gun, school security and mental health bill passed by the Senate and debated in the House Wednesday but then decided against it.
"We keep saying we want to identify early signs of mental problems. Well, this is an easy one," she said.
Urban said the law would allow an animal advocate to be appointed by a judge or requested by a prosecutor. She likened it to a court-appointed guardian who looks out for the interests of a child in custody, abuse and other cases.
She said defendants would have to pay for counseling and treatment and would have to continue with it until it is deemed a success.
She said the law would not cost any money, as the advocates would be working for free.
Urban said Democratic leaders are supporting the bill.
"I think we'll get it done. I know it's going to make a difference," she said.
Urban bill would give allegedly abused animals advocates in court

For New York Mets pitcher Matt Harvey, the long and grueling rehab road on the anniversary of his Tommy John surgery took another step when he began his throwing program.
Officially, it was 20 throws on flat ground from 60 feet away to bullpen catcher Dave Racaniello.
Harvey underwent surgery, Oct. 22, after giving up on his plan of trying to treat the injury with rest in an attempt to be ready this season.
Harvey described the procedure to reporters Saturday as using a tendon from his right wrist and wrapping it around his elbow three times.
"It was awesome,'' Harvey told reporters. "I know it was 20 throws at 60 feet, but everything felt absolutely amazing. I've got a lot of work to do. It's going to be a tough process [even] with how things felt today. But I've got to stick with it and move forward.''
The plan for Harvey, who went 9-5 (but with over 10 no-decisions last summer), is to throw three times a week (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) for now.
Each non-throw day is also important because it allows the trainers to see how the elbow responds to the throwing.
Harvey's reputation is that of trying to push the envelope, which he acknowledged he must resist.
"There's a little guy in the back of my head saying, 'Don't go too strong.' He's usually the one who's right,'' Harvey said. "Obviously feeling good and as competitive as I am, I always wanted to push more. But 'Jiminy Cricket' was telling me, 'no' in the back of my head.''
Harvey said he's like to pitch this year, but added that sentiment was the competitor in him surfacing. Harvey did acknowledge he agreed with general manager Sandy Alderson's assertion he not be a focus this year.
Harvey conceded this was simply the first day in a long process.

University of Minnesota Ranks No. 1 in Management Research Productivity
The Carlson School is host to the most productive management researchers in the country, according to a new report by Texas A&M University and the University of Florida. The Management Department Productivity Rankings analyzed faculty contributions to top-tier management journals from 161 universities across the United States and Canada in 2013: Carlson School faculty published 20 articles last year, and earned the top spot.
"We consistently do well in research rankings, but it's nice to see two of our historical areas of strength, strategy and organizational behavior, reaffirmed," says George John, Carlson School associate dean of faculty and research.
The University of Minnesota climbed seven places in the rankings compared to the previous year.
The University of Pennsylvania, Michigan State University, and the University of Michigan tied for second place in the rankings with 16 publications each, while Harvard University was ranked fifth with 14 publications.
The rankings counted contributions to the following management journals: Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Administrative Science Quarterly, Journal of Applied Psychology, Organization Science, Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, Personnel Psychology, and the Strategic Management Journal.

Twelve Things you should know about Selenium
By Frank Horwill
Selenium is a trace element mineral. It has been associated with heart disease, cancer and a number of other complaints when the body becomes deficient of the mineral.
Its function in man is as a component of an enzyme which protects cells against oxidative damage. Oxygen, although vital to our existence, can produce toxic substances, such as peroxide, superoxide, hydroxyl radicals, and "excited state oxygen." Selenium is therefore described as an anti-oxidant and an anti-ageing mineral. It promotes normal growth and development. Alcoholism = Deficiency.
Selenium is found in bran, broccoli, cabbage, celery, chicken, egg yolk, garlic, kidney, liver, milk, mushrooms, onions, seafood, tuna, wheat germ, and whole-grain products. Selenium and vitamin E work together, thus a deficiency of one will affect the other.
We do not make minerals in our body, we must get them from the soil. In ten states in the USA, selenium was found to be absent from the soil. On the other hand, one of the symptoms of overdosing with the mineral is loss of hair. The Colgan Institute of Sports Nutrition puts the athletes' requirements between 200 and 400mcg. The most easily absorbed type is Selenomethionine.
There is evidence that selenium can boost immunity when working with vitamin E. When animals were deprived of these two ingredients the Tlymphocytes rapidly declined. These cells play an important part in the fight against infection.
Unproved speculated benefits include:
Removes age spots when rubbed on skin.
Increases fertility.
Acts as an aphrodisiac,
Controls dandruff when applied to the scalp
Cures arthritis.
There is evidence that selenium taken in an inorganic form may decrease the absorption of vitamin C.
Eating seafood could improve your mood/training zip. Why? Seafood is extra high in selenium. Psychologists David Benton and Richard Cook, at the University of Swansea, recently documented people's eating habits and noted that those who ate the least selenium-containing foods were the most anxious, depressed and tired. In a controlled study, 50 healthy men and women, aged 14 to 74, took either 100mcg of selenium daily or a placebo for five weeks. After six months they switched to the opposite pill. The selenium in their diet was measured. Throughout, they were given tests to judge their moods - whether they were more composed or anxious, agreeable or hostile, elated or depressed, confident or unsure, energetic or tired and clearheaded or confused. The surprising results were that mood improved markedly when the subjects got enough selenium. Further, the greater their previous selenium lack, the greater their lift in mood.
A nut a day keeps the blues away. The Brazil nut is the richest of all foods in selenium, and eating a single nut a day will guarantee you are never deficient, says Dr. Donald J. Lisk, director of Cornell University's Toxic Chemical laboratory. He found that Brazil nuts are grown in seleniumrich soil providing a super high content of the mineral, about 2,500 times more than other nuts. Eating half a dozen nuts rapidly boosts blood selenium levels by 100350 per cent. The taking of selenium in supplementary form is both expensive and unnecessary provided the foods listed are eaten on a regular basis.
Training strenuously damages (possibly) membranes which are repaired by Glutathione Peroxidase. Selenium provides this in the amounts listed.
There is no evidence that selenium is an ergogenic aid.
A deficiency will affect performance – for the worse.

Gerard Butler: 'Olympus Has Fallen' Q&A in London!
Gerard Butler is all smiles while attending the Meet The Filmmakers event for his new flick Olympus Has Fallen at Apple Store, Regent Street on Tuesday (April 2) in London, England.
The 43-year-old Scottish actor was joined by his co-star Aaron Eckhart.

Nick Flynn is probably the only living poet who watched his life made into a movie last year. He's most certainly the only one who saw Robert De Niro play his father — and without a doubt the only one whose father shrugged De Niro off, unimpressed.
Flynn tells this story in "The Reenactments" (W.W. Norton, 320 pp., $15.95), his new fun-house-mirror memoir of his experiences on the set of "Being Flynn," the film adaptation of his award-winning 2004 memoir "Another … Night in Suck City." That book recounted his unusual relationship with his father, a charming alcoholic ne'er-do-well with delusions of grandeur who washed up, as a client, at the Boston homeless shelter where Nick worked.
The new book opens with Flynn on the set of the movie of his early life, watching from the wings as Julianne Moore acts out his mother's suicide. What was it like to relive such a moment?
"What was it like? It was like a million things. It takes an entire book to tell you what it was like," he says. "To see Robert De Niro play your father — it's not a simple answer. To see Julianne Moore play your mother. To see Paul Dano play you — that's an even more inscrutable question … he's amazing, he's totally amazing, but I can't really say if he's a good me or not."

The 'Fish' episode of the BBC Life series aired on television last night. The Common Seadragon footage is simply stunning!
The standard name of the species is Common Seadragon. It is also known as the Weedy Seadragon.
Tags fishes, ichthyology, Weedy Seadragon, Phyllopteryx taeniolatus, Syngnathidae, Common Seadragon,
Hi rling. I have heard back from the Australian Museum's, Janet Waterhouse who said: "Rling's identification of Pseudobiceros bedfordi is correct and it is a flatworm. The other specimens filmed before and after the shot are all nudibranchs. Bill Rudman had a comment on a similar photo he received on sea slug forum: "This is a flatworm, not a nudibranch. Its name is Pseudobiceros bedfordi. It is sometimes hard to tell nudibranch and flatworms apart without having a close look. One good field indication though is how quickly they crawl. Your description of it as a fast moving slug is a pretty good indication that it is a flatworm. Nudibranchs are very slow". The film clip also shows the flatworm motoring quickly around cf the nudibranchs. It seems like it's a pretty common mistake."
Hi rling, Being a 'fishy person', I would be way out of my depth if I tried to talk about nudibranchs. I've forwarded your comment to the staff in our Malacology Section who will reply soon.
I'm with you Kieren. It was fantastic. Several more of the clips from that fantastic show will be slowly trickled onto the site over the coming weeks.
Saw this and loved it! What stunning footage.

The race course features challenging hills, including the infamous "gut-check" hill between holes four and five, GCHS head coach Randy Martin said. Joining the Red Devils at the invitational were distance runners from San Juan, Emery, Whitehorse, Monticello, South Sevier and Monument Valley high schools.
Leading the way for the girl's team was GCHS junior Mercedes James, who finished second overall out of a field of 55 runners, with a time of 21:09. James, a two-time state cross country finalist, ran her best race of the year, according to coach Martin.
"Mercedes was battling knee injuries early in the season and she was not running her best at that time," Martin said. "Now that she is getting healthier, her times in each race are getting better and better."
Coming in behind James was junior Alena Geiser, who finished in 14th place with a time of 23:29. Junior Jessica Stucki finished in 20th place with a time of 24:07; junior Miranda Shumway finished with a time of 24:10; and freshman Annie Heywood finished 28th with a time of 25:12.
Also competing for the girl's team were junior Sierra Indergard, who finished with a time of 26:09, and senior Mary Rice with a time of 26:19.
"I am very proud of our girls team" Martin said. "You could see it during the race that each one of them were running their best and giving their maximum effort and it was because of that effort that they finished in second place."
The boys team was led by junior Jacob Francis, who finished second out of 77 runners, with a time of 16:48. Francis was followed by junior Jackson Knowles, who finished 14th with a time of 18:27, and junior Joseph Andrew, who finished 18th with a time of 18:51. Rounding out the top five for the Red Devils were junior Adam Jenkinson, who finished 31st with a time of 20:11, and junior Skyler Johnson who finished in 32nd place with a time of 20:12.
Also competing for the Red Devils were freshman Sammy Hansen with a time of 20:24; junior Jeremy McDougall with a time of 20:49; freshman Neil Stucki with a time of 21:26; freshman Cody Jones with a time of 22:47 and junior Reyce Knutson with a time of 24:36.
"Every one of our boys team members ran their best races of the year," Martin said. "Though they may have had better times at other meets, when you look at the level of difficulty that this course presents to runners, and the fact that this course if a full 5k, our boys all ran outstanding races."
The Red Devils have no scheduled meets this week and the distance runners will spend the week preparing for their region meet on Tuesday Oct. 9, Martin said.
"It will be great having a full week of practice to train and condition for the region meet," Martin said. "Our goal all season long has been to have both our boys and girls teams place in the top three in the region race in Richfield on Oct. 9 so that they can compete at the state tournament on Oct. 17."
"We still have a lot of miles to put behind us before we can hope to achieve that goal" Martin said.

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
The order Cetacea comprises two extant sub-orders and one extinct sub-order. The extant sub-orders are Mysticeti (baleen whales) and Odontoceti (toothed whales). Both mysticetes and odontocetes are thought to be descendants of archaeocetes (Archaeoceti, ancient whales), an extinct sub-order. There are at least 83 living species of cetaceans, with 46 genera in 14 families. Of the two extant suborders, Odontoceti is larger and more diverse, with at least 70 species, 40 genera, and 10 families. Cetaceans, along with bats, are considered some of the most derived mammals on the planet. They evolved from terrestrial animals to an entirely aquatic life form that is completely separated from the land in all aspects of biology. Cetaceans live, breed, rest, and carry out all of their life functions in the water.

First things first. Tennis shoes designed by Stella McCartney!
I don't know about you ladies, but I love when a fashion icon steps into the tennis world and puts her mark on things! And Stella is not only designing tennis apparel for adidas, but also shoes. However, I have to be honest, when first seeing pictures of these new Barricade 8s, I wasn't so sure about them. Then I got my first pair and quickly slipped them on — magically, they looked great on my feet! Then the other colorways slowly crept their way into our warehouse and after seeing the orange and blue colors, I was sold.
