Warner Brothers Poaches 'Thor' Alum To Join The 'Suicide Squad'!
Posted April 1st, 2015 by Stuart Conover
It looks like Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje ('G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra','Lost') who played two roles in 'Thor: The Dark World' is leaving the Marvel Universe behind as he is set to join DC's upcoming 'Suicide Squad' film. He has signed on to this overly large cast of villains from DC's universe as someone from Batman's rogue gallery by taking on the role of Killer Croc. With Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn and Jared Leto as The Joker, it would seem that Batman's villains are getting quite a bit of attention in the film so far. With the caped crusader's rumored cameo that probably shouldn't end up being too surprising.
For those unfamiliar with the character, Killer Croc was introduced back in March of 1983 in 'Batman' #357 which was also the first appearance of Jason Todd. Since that time he has been a mainstay villain in both the comics and cartoon series. Killer Croc is actually known as Waylon Jones who has a rare disease that gives him reptilian traits. From abuse as a child he was thrown early in life on the path of becoming a career criminal. Generally more animal than man he usually ends up relying more on his strength than his intelligence.
As he has progressively become more beast-like over the years it'll be interesting to see what stage of his condition that he will be in when introduced in the film. Also it'll be interesting to see if he is just a prisoner or takes an active role in the movie. I don't think I'd want them ripping off of The Lizard from 'The Amazing Spider-Man' exactly but a little more reptile than human could really work here.
What are your thoughts on Killer Croc being in the 'Suicide Squad' film? Do you think that he will have an active role or do we already have too many villains for him to get much screen time? Share your thoughts below!

The infant's body was stuck in a duct.
A clogged toilet at a clinic led to the body of a two-day-old girl in Kerala. Her tiny body was reportedly flushed down the toilet and recovered only when the plumbers tried clear the passage.
On Friday morning, when Dr Abdul Rehman, who runs a clinic next to his house in Palakkad district, noticed obstruction in the toilet bowl, he called the plumber.
According to the police, when the plumbers were trying to unblock the toilet, they noticed something which looked like a ball. As they tried to pull it out, they were shocked to see her head pop up. The body of the newborn, her placenta still attached, was stuck in the duct.
The police suspect that her parents brought the girl to the clinic on pretext of consultation and flushed the baby down the toilet. However, as the placenta was intact, the mother could have delivered her inside the washroom.
The records of all the patients are being checked, a police officer said.
The doctor filed a complaint and a case of unnatural death was filed. "Investigations are underway. We are analysing the records, but we haven't been able to identify her parents yet," police sources told NDTV.
Meanwhile, her body has been sent to Thrissur medical college for postmortem.

Blue Aces Record at StarCity Recording Company
Pictured from L-R at StarCity: Master Sergeant Dale Eley (Blue Aces), Julie Miller (StarCity), John Andrea (StarCity), Master Sergeant Ron Larsen (Blue Aces), Staff Sergeant Natalie Madison (Blue Aces), Zak Rizvi (StarCity), Technical Sergeant Brent Swaney (Blue Aces), Technical Sergeant Mike Shepperd (Blue Aces), Master Sergeant Eldon Sully (Blue Aces) and Senior Airman Andre Rascoe (Blue Aces).
The Blue Aces, a component of the U.S. Air Force Heritage of America Band, recorded an original 12-track CD expected to be released in early 2008, at StarCity Recording Company in Bethlehem, Penn. The military rock band created and recorded original material; music and lyrics were written and arranged entirely by bandmembers.
The CD contains a variety of musical styles, ranging from sentimental country and patriotic tunes to hard rock, targeted toward the younger generations of Air Combat Command and the Air Force. Zak Rizvi engineered the project, which was multitracked in Studio A and overdubbed and mixed in StarCity's "Plus" room. Jeff Glixman, Jim Gentile, Lily Salinas, John Andrea and Julie Miller were also involved in the project.
Pictured from L-R at StarCity: Staff Sergeant Natalie Madison, Technical Sergeant Brent Swaney, Master Sergeant Dale Eley, Senior Airman Andre Rascoe and Master Sergeant Ron Larsen.
"I was the rookie producer on this project and learned a great deal in the process," says Master Sergeant Dale Eley. "I was fortunate to receive agreat deal of wise advice from Jeff, Zak and other members of the StarCity family."
The unit commander appoints the Blue Aces; the current personnel have been together since October 2006. Members include Master Sergeant Eley, Non-Commissioned Officer in Charge (NCOIC), musical director and bass; Master Sergeant Eldon Sully, guitar; Master Sergeant Ron Larsen, keyboards; Technical Sergeant Mike Shepperd, drums/percussion; Technical Sergeant Brent Swaney, sax and audio engineer; Staff Sergeant Natalie Madison, vocals; and Senior Airman Andre Rascoe, vocals. All of the musicians in the Blue Aces have performed with concert bands, big bands, jazz combos and more.
"It is very common for the needs of the Air Force to require relocations, and people frequently retire," continued Master Sergeant Eley. "We are fortunate to be able to take advantage of this opportunity to make an original CD that will permanently bond the seven of us together."
The Blue Aces perform their variety of popular music styles for civilian and military audiences alike, at military functions and in forward deployed locations in support of the men and women in the U.S. armed forces. They perform at festivals and large events to spread the messages of the Air Force to the general public. The band also performs at schools and public functions in support of recruiters.

"The technical resources and amenities offered by StarCity were clearly the best choice for this particular project," continued Master Sergeant Eley. "The facilities are simply incredible. They have terrific spaces and state-of-the-art gear. The thought and ergonomic foresight put into the design of the building and every room proved extremely logical and conducive to making great music, comfortably."
The CD will be available for download on the Heritage of America Band's Website (www.heritageofamericaband.af.mil) as soon as mastering is complete. The target date for completion is October 2007.
"I assigned Master Sergeant Eley and the Blue Aces to record an album that will inspire the men and women of the Air Force, our sister services and allies, as well as our fellow Americans," says Major Douglas Monroe, Commander of the USAF Heritage of America Band. "The Blue Aces returned from StarCity with a recording of great music. I couldn't be prouder with the results they've achieved."
The USAF Heritage of America Band is an Air Force band with 47 musicians, comprised of several musical groups. The two major groups are the Blue Aces and the Concert Band. The Concert Band breaks down further into a jazz ensemble, and various smaller groups including a brass quintet, woodwind quintet and a Celtic ensemble.

Who would be a Good Samaritan?
RECENT media coverage of a locum doctor refusing to leave his office to help an injured pensioner has reignited debate over a doctor's ethical duty towards patients not under their care.
RECENT media publicity about a locum doctor who refused to leave his office to help an injured person has reignited debate over a doctor's duty in situations where someone who is not under their care requires immediate medical assistance.
Firstly, doctors are reminded of their ethical obligation to assist in an emergency medical situation outside of their own practice. While this may be a rare event, it is important doctors have the confidence to act without fear of litigation.
It's probably fair to say that the vast majority of doctors would not hesitate to help in an emergency when off duty, whether assisting a passenger on a long-haul flight or providing emergency care to someone in the street. But you should also be aware that failure to act could potentially result in a referral to the GMC.
GMC guidance in Good Medical Practice is quite specific in this regard: "In an emergency, wherever it arises, you must offer assistance, taking account of your own safety, your competence, and the availability of other options for care".
In the UK, Good Samaritan common law application offers legal protection to people who give "reasonable assistance" to those who are injured, ill, in peril or otherwise incapacitated. The protection is intended to reduce bystanders' hesitation to assist for fear of being sued or prosecuted for unintentional injury or wrongful death.
In new developments, the proposed Social Action, Responsibility and Heroism Bill which is applicable to England and Wales and may shortly become law affords three possible defences which may reassure a Good Samaritan intervenor:
Did the negligence or breach of duty occur when the defendant was acting for the benefit of society or any of its members?
Did the defendant demonstrate a generally responsible approach towards protecting the safety or other interests of others?
Was the defendant acting heroically by intervening in an emergency to assist an individual in danger and without regard to his own safety or other interests?
MDDUS members often ask: "But what if I am abroad?" There are some differences in law to consider. For example, you have a legal obligation in France to stop and call for help if you see an accident. If you can do so without endangering yourself, the expectation is that you must assist someone in danger or distress.
This differs dramatically from the common law precept recognised in the UK in which a person who has no connection to another or to the situation which created the danger or distress is under no legal obligation render any assistance.
We can assure our members that MDDUS provides worldwide indemnity for Good Samaritan acts, regardless of whether the person is an existing patient or a complete stranger, as doctors have an ethical responsibility to assist anyone in need of emergency medical care. Such acts are defined as "the provision of medical and dental services in emergency situations outside the scope of an individual's normal contractual obligations or clinical practice". It is always possible that doctors, at some point in their careers, may be asked to assist in a professional capacity outside of their normal working environment. However, when the situation is an emergency, the doctor's intervention is all the more important. In reality, a doctor is never off duty.
We would advise doctors to consider the urgency of the situation and act in the patient's best interests while applying common sense. Importantly, doctors should act within the limits of their own competence – for example sometimes the best course of action they can take is to ensure the person gets to a hospital where they can be provided appropriate care and treatment.
Perhaps a less likely scenario is the doctor who decides to intervene in a manner that is clearly outside of their own competence, perhaps through an inferred pressure or expectation to "do something" from bystanders . The GMC stance offers a little latitude in this area, as it states that a doctor must "take account" of their own competence when acting in the capacity of a Good Samaritan. A cautionary approach is always considered prudent but there may be circumstances in which extraordinary action is required which would not be part of a doctor's "usual practice".
ACTION: Be aware of your legal and ethical obligations to assist individuals requiring immediate or emergency medical care. Act within the scope of your own competence and be prepared to justify your course of action with the recognition that extraordinary action may be required in rare circumstances.

Dionysos est un opéra allemand en quatre tableaux composé par Wolfgang Rihm et dont la première a eu lieu le  au Festival de Salzbourg lors du 90eme anniversaire de la création du festival.

Le livret également de Wolfgang Rihm est tiré des Dithyrambes de Dionysos  de Friedrich Nietzsche et sous titré « Scènes et dithyrambes ,  Fantaisie d'opéra ».

Historique
Dionysos est la onzième œuvre de Rihm pour la scène lyrique. Il considérait déjà depuis une quinzaine d'années la possibilité d'un opéra autour de Dionysos lorsqu'il a reçu la commande du Festival de Salzbourg, pour une coproduction du Staatsoper Unter den Linden de Berlin et de l'Opéra national des Pays-Bas. Il a écrit le livret à partir de l'œuvre tardive de 1888 de Nietzsche, qu'il a fragmentée et arrangée dans un ordre différent.

L'œuvre a été composée  entre  et , Rihm envoyant son travail par séquence au chef d'orchestre. Le final a été écrit à la dernière minute.
L'œuvre est ainsi dédiée «en toute amitié» au chef d'orchestre Ingo Metzmacher.

L'opéra a été créé dans la petite salle de la Maison de Mozart à Salzbourg le  avec le baryton  dans le rôle-titre (N.) et ,  et  dans les rôles principaux, la musique est exécutée par le Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin et accompagnée du Chœur de l'Opéra d'État de Vienne, sous la direction de Metzmacher, dans une mise en scène de  et des décors de l'artiste Jonathan Meese. Un enregistrement en direct a été publié sous forme de DVD.

La production a été reprise à partir du  à Amsterdam et à partir du  à Berlin. Une nouvelle production a été mise en scène le  avec le "Theater & Orchester Heidelberg" par .

Description
Reconstruisant à partir des fragments de Nietzsche un cheminement fantasmatique, Rihm écarte toute intrigue linéaire au profit d'une suite de séquences reliées par la présence de  N., incarnation du philosophe, de l'artiste et de Dionysos, dieu de l'ivresse, de l'extase, de la musique et la danse, auquel Nietzsche ne cessa de s'identifier.

Le spectateur est invité à entrer dans un labyrintheavec quatre scènes évoquant l'errance entre solitude, abattement, fureur mais aussi moments de sérénité ou de jubilation. Le dernier tableau évoque l'anecdote de  à Turin, où Nietzsche s'agenouilla devant un cheval qu'un cocher venait de fouetter violemment.

La musique est  exubérante  avec des moments de détente ou d'ironie et des échos discrets à Strauss, Brahms, Mahler ou Berg qui pour la plupart doivent sans doute à  Nietzsche.
