Andrew Zimmerman Finally Speaks
A year ago I tried to talk to Andrew Zimmerman about the Hannah Poling case and was told:
Dr. Zimmerman…….is not able to publicly discuss this patient. As a participant in this case, the family provided consent for Dr. Zimmerman to share information with the court, but we do not have parental consent to discuss the patient publicly – as we are bound by HIPAA privacy regulations, as in any healthcare setting in the U.S.
And in the year that has followed the Polings have not allowed Zimmerman to publicly comment once. Now I'm beginning to understand why.
Sullivan told me that yesterday the Expert Witness reports for the Respondents were made public and that Zimmermans was eyebrow raising to say the least.
Furthermore, there is no evidence of an association between autism andthe alleged reaction to MMR a nd Hg, and it is more likely than not, that there is a genetic basis for autism in this child."
"Michelle Cedillo's developmental regression was likely to have been
preprogrammed before birth to emerge, as it does in Rett syndrome, long after birth."
"Autism, in most cases, begins before birth, and the maternal
"environment" in the womb is likely to be important in the process."
"there is no scientific basis for a connection between measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine or mercury (Hg) intoxication and autism."
"Autism is primarily a genetically determined disorder." There is a
hypothetical basis, but very limited evidence, for environmental factors
(such as stress or the drug terbutalinel l) that may act together with
an individual's genetic susceptibility to increase the risk of autism.
There is strong evidence that the origins of autism begin before birth,
based on genetic and anatomical studies as well as chemical findings at birth in children who go on to develop autism. The usual time
period when autism appears and is diagnosed during the 2nd and 3′" years of life reflects the dynamic nature of the child's developing brain and the appearance of pre-programmed disordered expression of genes and preexisting cellular abnormalities that result in the child's regression with loss of language and social skills."
Recall once more that this is the man – along with Jon Poling himself and along with John Shoffner (who also doesn't think much of Polings beliefs) who co-authored the only piece of science performed on Hannah Poling.
No wonder the Poling's were so keen to keep Zimmerman quiet.
Thanks to Sullivan for some of this.

This is a really good document to read. A lot of people have pushed the results from Dr. Zimmerman's lab as evidence of vaccine injury–well beyond Dr. Zimmerman's own opinions.
Kev March 24, 2009 at 22:58 #
I'm just amazed that the Polings thought that simply not giving permission for Zimmerman to speak about Hannah would effectively keep him quiet. Surely they must've known he was testifying for petitioners?
Jen March 25, 2009 at 11:01 #
Did they actually think that his comments would never be made public, or were they just counting on the time lapse between their burst of publicity and the time when his comments would be made public?
Joseph March 25, 2009 at 14:05 #
So from Poling, Frye, Shoffner & Zimmerman (2006), two of the authors do not believe Hannah Poling's developmental regression was vaccine-induced. John Poling, frankly, is biased because he stood to gain financially when that belief was found to be plausible. What about Frye?
Good question. Lets see if I can find an email address.
MJ March 26, 2009 at 01:23 #
Correct me if I am wrong, but the expert report that was released from the Cedillo case, not the Poling case.
So why are you quoting from the report in that case yet referring to the Poling case?
Furthermore, the last public filing in the Poling case makes it completely clear that the party blocking the disclosure of the records from the Poling case is not the Polings but the government.
Dedj March 26, 2009 at 02:11 #
"Furthermore, the last public filing in the Poling case makes it completely clear that the party blocking the disclosure of the records from the Poling case is not the Polings but the government"
I was under the impression that the government was willing to release the records, but not under the stipulation that the release be retroactive, as the Poling team was demanding.
If true, this could be seen as an attempt to remove responsibility from whomever may have released the records to Kirby and others.
If you place unreasonable demands upon another party, you can't fairly blame them for not going ahead. In this case, the Poling team could reasonably be seen as acting as a barrier to the release of the records.
Yes, it does appear to be a very rare slip up from kev et al.
Of course, one could still argue that – as the alledged course of injury is very similar in both cases – that the same expert giving two different scenarios for two purportedly similar cases should encourage us to revisit his opinions on both.
Which does bring up the question of what his actual opinion on Poling is.
Yes, I just reread the ruling to make sure that I remembered it correctly.
"as the alledged course of injury is very similar in both cases"
The alleged injuries are very different. Cedillo is a straight up the vaccines did it while Poling is a mito disorder to autism path. The only thing that is similar is the end result which is autism.
"Which does bring up the question of what his actual opinion on Poling is"
And as soon as the government stops blocking the release of the information we will know, won't we?
Ah, the " the government is blocking the Poling documents" assertion.
As an attachment to their motion, petitioners have submitted a written "Authorization" that "express[ly] waive[s] [their] § 12(d)[(4)](A) rights to confidentiality of the materials submitted in [Hannah's] case (with the exception that the medical records can be discussed but not be made public)." Petitioners' Motion, Authorization at 1. The authorization, however, "is contingent upon the respondent waiving its rights as well or upon the granting of [petitioners'] motion for complete transparency."
In their motion, petitioners assert that section 12(d)(4)(A) of the Vaccine Act "clear[ly] . . . prohibits Special Masters from disclosing evidence submitted in a case without the written permission of a party who submitted the evidence."
The Zimmerman report was submitted as evidence by the Polings. As the party who submitted the evidence, they are the ones who can give permission for it to be made public.
let's not forget–
[i]n fact, it is respondent who first approached and asked for petitioners' consent to permit the Secretary of Health and Human Services to disclose medical information regarding this case in order for the Secretary to address inaccurate statements that were being made publicly concerning respondent's position in this case."
I would disagree. Kev was quite aware that this report was for Cedillo. Even so, it is quite relevant to the Poling case that their top expert thinks:
As per Sullivan 🙂
One Queer Fish March 26, 2009 at 16:12 #
Simply, when the trial is so prejudiced what does it matter even if you come up with the holy grail its still not going to stand as the truth, is it.. .I see the appeal has been lodged
http://www.ageofautism.com/
Oh this should be good. Tell me Fishy, in what way(s) were the Omnibus hearings 'so prejudiced'?
And _of course_ an appeal has been lodged. I would've been amazed if it wasn't.
Kev Simply,I think the appeal states the whys pretty clearly of the prejudice starting with …
Michelle respectfully asks this Court to review this
decision.
First, because she has submitted
preponderant evidence that her MMR vaccine harmed her.
Does so because the special master purposely turned a blind eye on her evidence, especially the substantial concessions by the respondent's expert witnesses.
Does so because
the special master abandoned his obligation to impartially weigh the evidence. She does so because, instead, the special master inappropriately assumed the respondent's role as protector of the integrity of vaccines.
the special master has defied congress and the Federal Circuit.
she has been denied the fundamental fairness compelled
by Rule 7 of the Vaccines of the United States Court of Federal Claims.
the special master abused his discretion, was arbitrary, capricious, and has issued a decision that is not in accordance with law.
And so it goes on umpteen pages of factual evidence backed. appeal …
century March 27, 2009 at 08:17 #
Very telling point below – from AoA – and makes Kevin's headline "Zimmerman finally speaks" look like his usual spin.
Who's gagging who?
"Don't over look footnote 37 pages 13 and 14. What the HHS does not want to reveal is that Dr. Zimmerman filed two contradictory expert witness reports. The first states, "there is no scientific basis for a connection" between the MMR vaccination, mercury intoxication, and autism".
The second expert witness report is believed to state words to the effect that Hanah Poling is autistic as a result of a vaccine injury.
This is why the Government conceded the Poling case. The affidavit and expert witness reports by Dr. Zimmerman in support of Hanah Poling is what the Government does not want the public to see.
Dr. Zimmerman was an expert witness for the Government, but also a coworker of Dr. Poling.
If the general public truly understood this double standard and procedural cover up they would be outraged.
Rolf Hazlehurst, father of Yates Hazlehurst (the second test case)"
Ah I _see_ so Fishy's 'evidence' is basically a bunch of beliefs, not facts, that Petitioners have regarding the honour of the SM's and pretty much states theres a big nasty conspiracy theory thats the SM's are in the pocket of Big Pharma. How convincing.
And Century's 'evidence' is the same as David Kirbys. A document that cant be seen and cant be quoted and thus can contain whatever we like. Again, very convincing. You can't even get the fact right about Poling (John Hopkins I believe) and Andrew Zimmerman (Kennedy Kreiger) being co-workers. They're not.
Sorry boys, lets try again with some actual evidence.
David N. Andrews M. Ed. (Distinction) March 27, 2009 at 09:57 #
"How convincing."
Simply,after all appeals are exhausted, they can then file a civil suit but before then the big guns shall be rolled in Dr Wakefield et-al will have a chance to speak as the science says..vaccines = autism,Quite simply,I dont see any clear thinking human saying diffrently excluding the pharma shills and journos …I think also they meant to lose the case so they can go to civil at speed..
I think also they meant to lose the case so they can go to civil at speed
Yeah, keep telling yourself that.
Fishy, lol, are you kidding? Check out a thing called 'Daubert'. It basically means that the judge becomes the gatekeeper of good science. In civil cases theres usually a hearing to determine that each sides experts are actually experts and use good science. Boyd Haley, Mark Geier, Martha Herbert and Jeff Bradstreet have all been found wanting in pre trial Daubert hearings.
http://www.kevinleitch.co.uk/wp/?p=393
https://leftbrainrightbrain.co.uk/?p=443
With Haley and Geier, the science they presented was so appalling once the judge had applied Daubert there was literally no case left to answer.
I really hope someone is telling the Cedillos all this.
HCN March 27, 2009 at 19:32 #
What is even just as funny about Fishy's totally delusional comment is that somehow Wakefield's lawyer bought and paid case study of just twelve non-randomly chosen litigants, um no, victims, oh wait, children is actually called "science" — and that the several large epidemiological studies done in several countries involving millions of children does not!
Ringside Seat March 27, 2009 at 20:48 #
'Go to civil at speed' Ha ha. And who's gonna pay the costs? The Cedillos, whose child was autistic before her MMR? Or Shoemaker and company, who wouldn't risk a cent of their own dough?
Yeah, let's see em put some money on the table.
Anybody notice that the name Wackfraud doesn't appear once in the appeal? It's like he never existed as far as the petitioners are concerned.
Deer deer ,it does happen guys remember
Drip Drip Drip – Paxil Info Leaks Out
http://www.lawyersandsettlements.com/articles/00172/paxil.html
Any of you on here wrote this disingenous statement ,could have come from Kev yourselfany takers Mr Deer by chance??
"However, the memo instructs Glaxo sales representatives to avoid using the term and says: "instead of 'withdrawal syndrome,' which implies addictive properties, try to refer to this phenomenon as
'discontinuation symptoms.'"
Prometheus March 28, 2009 at 03:05 #
Quoth the Fish:
The results of the Autism Omnibus Proceedings will pretty much eliminate any hope the Cedillos have of winning in civil court. Although a jury might be more sympathetic to their cause, their "experts" will likely be thrown out because of the Daubert standards. After the thorough fisking the Special Masters gave them, even a freshman in law school could keep their "experts" off the stand.
No, I think that this appeal is a last-ditch attempt by the lawyers to make it look like they didn't string the Cedillos (and others) along for several years without a hope of winning. Since this appeal is done on the taxpayer's account, the Cedillos have little to lose (and their lawyers – as usual – will collect whether they win or lose).
No, the telling point will be when the Cedillos – and thousands of other families – have to choose whether or not to file in civil court. Will their lawyers take them on contingency or will they ask for cash up front? I'm betting the latter, since even a stupid lawyer would have to see that this is a sure-fire loss.
Just wondering – is there any subject where "One Queer Fish" has some competence? So far, he/she has rated "epic fail" in science and law. Surely there must be something he/she does well?
Trolling Prom, that seems to be the extent of his/her skillset so far.
and thousands of other families –
Simply the lawyers stopped taking cases on years and years ago The cases they represent just now will go the full hog, I believe to civil as well.That's, why they limited the numbers to start with.. to limit the costs. "Daubert standards"(if there were any set?? your pulling my leg aren't you??!) is a bygone era and the Pharma playing field is completely different under Obama and the Kennedy's .Like another bygone era under Pharma puppies Bush and Blair times are changing guys but then it's the same as the errors on HBOT you were all obfuscating about you still maintain on here that you know it all when you don't know zilch apart from Mr Deer who could enlighten us all with the Judge Eady complaint letters but through fear he wont…..
… and Fishy's skill set seems to include posting an incomprehensible word salad that has no basis in reality…
""Daubert standards"(if there were any set?? your pulling my leg aren't you??!) is a bygone era….."
You really don't know that Daubert is a set of standards? If you don't know the basics, why do you think you're qualified to talk about this?
The Daubert standards are really a model of what standards judges typically use when assessing expert testimony. They cover relevance, reliability, repeatability and refutability.
Basically, in order to be admitted as scientific evidence, the evidence actually has to be scientific.
Of course 'your side' wants Daubert out, the people you support would gladly put a parents say-so above and beyond actual scientific data – oh, as long as supports their case of course, otherwise it becomes 'conjuecture' or 'just opinions'.
The Cedillo team didn't just lose but got totally reamed. There wasn't a peep about the systemic bias of the judges or the 'illegality' of the court until it became apparant to all that their case was crumbling around them.
p.s. the judge Eady letters came out last week. They show that Deer offered to submit information two days after the announcement of the possibility of an investigation. Even if Deer was listed as the complainant, it would only be because someone's name has to go on it.
Time for you to rush off now OQF to what ever it is you keep claiming to be rushing off to.
Dedj said
"p.s. the judge Eady letters came out last week. They show that Deer offered to submit information two days after the announcement of the possibility of an investigation"
I've missed this – can you supply a link?
To be fair it was only the first Eady letter, not all of them, but it still sets the context, and the context doesn't hold out well for the Deer Hunters.
Not only do we have Deer offering to submit information 'with regards to', two days after the public announcement, rather than being the instigator as many imply, but none of them have thus far came up with anything but opinion as to why Deer cannot report on the proceedings, especially as none are claiming that he has undue influence or is in line for non-standard benefit.
AoA did a whole piece on it, as did childhealth, OneClick may have a article up and I doubt Melanie Phillips has passed up the opportunity.
"To be fair it was only the first Eady letter, not all of them, but it still sets the context, and the context doesn't hold out well for the Deer Hunters"
Please can you give me a link because I cannot find this Eady letter – probably because it's saturday evening and I have had a few drinks watching the rugby and football!
Dejd
On appeal Wakefield will be found not guilty if he is found guilty just now . After the case has finished the letters will become public knowledge under FOI act. Sooner or later the truth will out, as it stands my money is on Wakefield simply, because, Mr Deer has an opportunity just now! to publish the Judge Eady letters of complaint and score a cataclysmic silencing of his doubters if in fact the wording on Mr Deers egoism ,sagacious and elite complaint letters adhere to what he professes.
Quite simply, why not Dejd ? Sensible answers not Harold's or whatever other writer's frustrations you have…
Heh, saturday seems to be a good day for alchohol!
Anyway, the documents have been known to, and read by, many of the major Deer Hunters for a month now but he's a link to a scan of the letter.
You'll notice that the date is after the John Reid announcement, and that none of the Deer Hunters have yet to quote act, code or standard that would prohibit Deer from his current behaviour, even if he was the complainant.
It seems to be a fairly standard – if excellently well constructed – request to offer information.
OQF – you will notice that exactly what I said would happen if the Eady letters became known has actually happened and has happened big time.
If Deer refuses to release the letters because of fears that they will be mis-read then it appears those fears were totally accurate and very well founded.
'Your side' is far too invested in disparaging Deer by any means possible for a fair and just reading of the letters to be a sensible expectation.
That's about all I could make out from your post, the rest just appears to be gibberish.
Simply,the truth has nothing to fear ..says it all Dejd wouldnt you say so yourself..the truth has nothing to fear…
Besides, this thread isn't even about Deer. Your continued tangential references to Deer and the Eady letters – which add nothing to whatever arguement you were trying to make originally – are rather worrying early signs of mental illness, which may explain why you're always in a rush to get off somewhere.
I'd advise kev to lock this thread if you continue to hold it hostage to your selfish agenda much longer.
I'm amazed you haven't actually been banned.
Bwahahaha! How old are you? 12?
You should know by now that truth doesn't protect you from people who are willing to twist it to their own agenda. It doesn't protect you from vendetta's or from motivated idiots.
Fcuk, this is exactly what is supposed to be happening to Wakefield , and you'd be amongst the first to claim his career and reputation have been harmed by "lies".
Stay consistent at least, or ask the nurses to read what you post before sending it.
Well if you ban me there is no one else sad enough to post on here ,showing my mental state again as, you point out ..
As for Cedillo on appeal they will win, and all the papers will be released .Counter claims will stem from them..its ironic ,always refer to the lawyers,Dr Wakefield, et-al as baddies which is fine, but you never hear any of the parents of the damaged children saying it,just the supposedly caring medial community ..curious isn't it ,but then if it was a true enterpretation of events that's not how it would come about ?The parents would complain first wouldn't they Dejd ?wouldn't you say so ?the parents would complain..then the professionals then the GMC no parents as witnesses no children as witnesses how strange when the cases in America and the Uk are about the children
but they are not seen or heard
As Kev (or it may have been Sullivan) LB/RB actually gets more hits than many of the pro-wakefield or vaccine-skeptic websites. Some of them are too small to even register on tracking sites.
I have no idea what you think you're getting at in your post. The parents were already invested in the idea before they even met wakefield, there's no reason for them to complain about someone who agrees with them, is there? Sometimes the client/patient isn't even aware of the breaches of conduct. It's part of why the GMC has a whole section on reporting other professionals. The HPC has a similar set-up too, as does the NMC.
Use your damn brain for once.
here honey…
I'm well aware that iatrogenic autism believers are more than willing to co-opt other peoples marches and demonstrations for their own agenda.
You'll notice that the march also included people from Sensory Access Now and other groups, it wasn't just about vaccines.
as the Churchill dog says "ooohhh yess"
I never seen anyone saying go along or we will stop your child going to school as they are trying to do just now if you dont vaccinate.
you see Dejd the truth fears no one ,those children and parents fear no one unlike Mr Deer
I cannot believe that once again we're back on those bloody Eady letters.
Look Fishy, what you need to be worrying about is Daubert, something that won't change just because Obama's now in office – its a legal precedent, not a law. Here's a bit of Wikipedia on the subject.
Everyone high up in the autism/antivax camps knows that a civil case has absolutely no chance. Your best chance was the Omnibus hearings as they have such a low standard of proof. I remember reading something from Lenny Schafer along those very lines a couple of years ago.
I'm sorry Fishy but the fact you guys have absolutely no quality science was always going to bite you hard on the arse one day. If you lot had any conscience at all you'd be pleading with the Cedillo's not to waste any more time (and money if they do go to a civil hearing).
Anon visitor March 29, 2009 at 02:00 #
The Cedillos were laughing through most of their hearing. They knew they had nothing at stake.
It was simply a run in the park for the Cedillos A to get to B .
Kev there is no doubt as to the clothes Presisdent Obama is wearing..night shall follow day ..
"Some people are suspisious that its connected to the vaccines, This person included" President Obama
Now the presidents word dosent count ??does it Kev?/stange forum right enough!!
http://blog.washingtonpost.com/fact-checker/2008/04/dr_obama_and_dr_mccain.html
"We've seen just a skyrocketing autism rate. Some people are suspicious that it's connected to the vaccines. This person included. The science right now is inconclusive, but we have to research it." –Barack Obama, Pennsylvania Rally, April 21, 2008.
"It's indisputable that (autism) is on the rise among children, the question is what's causing it. And we go back and forth and there's strong evidence that indicates it's got to do with a preservative in vaccines." –John McCain, Texas town hall meeting, February 29, 2008.
SEE UPDATE BELOW
Quotemine.
""Some people are suspisious that its connected to the vaccines, This person included" President Obama said, indicating the man who had just asked him about vaccines.
Hell, he even pointed to the person at the time, so it's not like it was a vague reference.
Do better fishy.
Fishy you're getting painfully embarrassing. Do you understand what a legal precedent is?
Yes Sir sorry sir
The science right now is inconclusive, but we have to research it. We can't afford to junk our vaccine system, we have to figure out what's happening. If we keep on seeing the increases in the rate we're seeing, we're never going to have enough money" to take care of these children.

Lab2050 is a policy research think tank with a strong emphasis on a policy lab model that would prepare the next generation's era around the year 2050. Their research focuses on proposing a new policy that would contribute to improving the well-being of the next generation.
New technologies will transform this coming generation's society that will have completely different labour and demographic market structure, and media environment. This implies that the near future urges us to redefine and redesign how to work, produce, and distribute, and ultimately how we live. However, it would be impossible to fathom any new model or concept fitting this kind of future through one-time design and implementation.
Under these circumstances, policymakers and their researchers should continue suggesting their ideas and experimenting them in practice, listening to their users how they experience these new models, and co-designing the next versions of their models until they produce meaningful impact in practice. This approach is the policy lab model that has been significantly emphasised in the social innovation sector. In preparing the near future, Lab2050 addresses not only what we need to examine but how to investigate – citizen empowered policy experiments are critical.
Why it matters?
The technology advancement with accelerating speed and scale has already triggered the fundamental change in how people work and produce, and this change is unleashing many unprecedented social and economic challenges. Some foreseeable troubles are that artificial intelligent technologies would replace many existing jobs, and the full usage of big data would trigger even more severe privacy intrusion and data sovereignty issues, etc. However:
the current welfare system mainly designed just after the world war two no longer fits to the totally different labor structure
the new policies to protect individuals' privacy are always quite slow : the massive amount of profits made from using customer data is already signalling the severe issues of who owns and uses this data, and how these profits could fairly be distributed.
These challenges are universally taking place across the world, but no one quite knows how to face these new challenges.
With these new tests, the technologies also present novel opportunities to individuals.
Now in 2019, the personal media age has already started, and anyone could effortlessly vocalise how she or he feels and mobilise a significant number of people who express their unified voices together.
In Korea, this change allowed ordinary people to express their political opinions freely and peacefully together and led the president impeachment in 2017.
Likewise, media technology and platform innovation are widely opening up a new opportunity for individuals to participate in designing and implementing new policies or political direction together.
These unprecedented challenges and opportunities are telling us that social innovation is imperative to prepare our near future. Lab2050 pays its attention to various design methodologies and experiment models widely used to tackle complex social issues. Lab2050 primarily researches new wealth distribution systems, new production systems, and new social values that will be required for the next generation.

New Questions Over Bonuses Hollinger Paid to Executives
GERALDINE FABRIKANT New York Times
A unit of Hollinger International made bonus payments totaling $3 million in December 2000 to Conrad M. Black, Hollinger's former chairman, and two of the company's other top executives, wiring the money to the Caribbean unit of a Canadian bank. The complex transaction, recorded in documents described by people close to the company, sheds light on at least one way Hollinger paid Lord Black, through a transfer that also could have reduced taxes on his compensation. Other payments by the company in recent years to Lord Black and other top Hollinger executives were also made through wire transfers to the Caribbean, according to several people with knowledge of the transactions. Corporate compensation experts and tax lawyers say there does not appear to have been anything illegal about the bonus payments and transfer in December 2000. But some corporate government experts say that the payments and their handling indicate unusual methods of compensating the managers of a public company based in the United States, and yet another way in which Hollinger executives have been rewarded. Compensation to Lord Black and his top lieutenants in recent years is the subject of an internal inquiry by Hollinger and the focus of a lawsuit by a big investor, Cardinal Value Equity Partners. The Securities and Exchange Commission is also investigating the company. Hollinger International, based in Chicago, is a media company whose newspapers include The Chicago Sun-Times, The Daily Telegraph of London and The Jerusalem Post. Lord Black, Hollinger's controlling shareholder, resigned as chief executive on Nov. 17 after an internal investigation disclosed that he and some of his partners had received millions in unauthorized payments. He remains chairman. A spokesman for Lord Black said that the bonuses had been fully approved and said that the board evidently considered them appropriate compensation for the value delivered to shareholders. The bonuses in late 2000 were paid by Hollinger Digital, a Hollinger unit, because, according to a memorandum accompanying the wire transfer, the unit had completed an initial offering in one business and had sold its interests in a second. The two transactions generated a $27 million pretax gain, company filings said. "It is very aggressive," said Herbert Denton, president of Providence Capital, a New York investment fund, and an informal adviser to Hollinger shareholders. "We looked at over 50 public companies that have spun off pieces of themselves to the public, and in only four cases did the officers get a bonus.'' At the time, Lord Black served as a co-chairman of Hollinger Digital. A second bonus recipient was Daniel Colson, the vice chairman and a director of Hollinger International and the vice chairman of Hollinger Digital. The third bonus recipient was F. David Radler, the president of Hollinger International at the time, who had no official role at Hollinger Digital. Spokesmen for both Mr. Radler and Mr. Colson said the men declined to comment. Hollinger Digital's other vice chairman, Richard N. Perle, still a director of the parent company, did not receive a bonus from the unit, a person close to the company said. In a broadcast interview with Charlie Rose last week, Mr. Perle said that Hollinger should have paid more attention to the interests of minority shareholders. Charles M. Elson, a professor of corporate governance at the University of Delaware, said a bonus paid to corporate executives from an operating unit was unusual. "That sort of payment is not in the ordinary course of business, and it raises questions,'' Professor Elson said. "For example: Was the full board aware that the wholly owned subsidiary made an extraordinary payment to officers of the parent and subsidiary?'' A Hollinger International spokeswoman, Molly Morse, said that all of the company's bonus payments for 2000 - Lord Black's totaled $1.8 million that year - were reported in the company's S.E.C. filings. But the company did not disclose that at least some money came from an operating unit. A company spokeswoman declined to comment on the wire transfers. Besides bonuses, Lord Black earned $448,649 in salary for 2000. He also received that year a large portion of a now controversial $27.8 million payment to a group of executives as a "noncompete'' premium from companies to whom Hollinger International had sold newspapers. Such noncompete payments, made in other years as well, have angered some Hollinger investors, who say the money should have gone to the company. Hollinger International's internal investigation began last June, after an investment firm, Tweedy, Browne, and other big Hollinger shareholders raised questions about payments to Lord Black and other top executives. The bonus payments from Hollinger Digital, made on Dec. 20, 2000, were in the form of a wire transfer to CIBC Caribbean, a unit of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. The money, according to people with knowledge of the transaction, was then transferred to Barbados, a country where the tax on dividend income can be as low as 3 percent. Lord Black is a native of Canada who renounced his citizenship to become a British lord in 2001. But evidently he was still a Canadian citizen in December 2000. Transfers of money offshore are not uncommon for Canadian executives living in Britain as a legal means of reducing tax liabilities, according to a top Canadian tax lawyer with no ties to Lord Black or Hollinger, who commented on condition of anonymity. But compensation made in the form of wire transfers to the Caribbean is not standard practice for publicly held companies in the United States, according to several corporate governance experts. "The question inevitably arises: What is the propriety of money going to a Caribbean bank?'' Mr. Denton of Providence Capital said. "The quick question was whether the money was declared for tax purposes. It just causes one to want to investigate.'' Several people with knowledge of Hollinger's various wire transfers to CIBC Caribbean say the money was eventually transferred to an account or accounts in Barbados for the three executives. Those people could provide no further details. Lord Black has been on the board of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce since 1977. A spokesman for the Canadian bank declined to comment. Lord Black has accumulated a fortune that has allowed him to buy homes in London, Toronto and Palm Beach, Fla., as well as a New York apartment. But he has recently put both his London and Palm Beach homes up for sale. Last week he failed to make an $850,000 payment to Hollinger that he owed in connection with his agreement to repay $7.2 million. The larger figure is his share of the $30 million in noncompete payments that the company says the board did not approve. A spokesman for Lord Black said he was conducting his own investigation to determine whether he was indeed obliged to repay Hollinger.


With the recent eBay changes adding the store inventory into the core search, it is much more important to understand your competition. Remaining (or becoming) competitive is truly the only way to achieve success when selling commodity items.
For one-of-a-kind items, auctions still remain the best bet, but for commodity items, you'll need to stand out from the crowd.
Vendio eBay Market Research provides competitive data on a seller or product level and it's a great place to start when developing your competitive strategy.
On a product level (researching by product), you'll be able to view at a glance all the pricing data and recommendations for listing successfully. In addition, you can view keywords that should be used to drive a products success (what terms are buyers using to FIND the product) and on a competitive level, you'll be able to see the top sellers by product and view the details on what makes them successful. This will give you great insight. Find out when and how they are listing their items and at what price. Do they charge shipping or offer free shipping? Use the information to create a listing strategy that really works for your product.
In addition to product research, you can type in your competitor's eBay user ID to get the same great information on a seller level (vs. a product level). You can view their overall strategy and see what's really driving their success.
I can't show all the graphs that are available (or this blog post would be loaded with Images). However, you can see from the image that you can view the graphs and trends for many different areas (average selling price, keywords, time of day, categories, etc.).
While Research gives you the "numbers and data", it does not account for the other reasons a seller may or may not be successful, such as customer service, attractiveness of the listing and policies.
Use Research to actually look at the successful listings and determine how you can improve on what you see.
Can you make your policies friendlier? Can you make your ads more readable? Can you make your ads more attractive. Go into your competitors ads with a "red pencil" and then do the same for you own ads.
There is always room for improvement and better methods to convert browsers to bidders and buyers; it just takes a bit more work than it used to.
And one final recommendation, if you go through the process of researching and understanding your competition – don't stop there. Make it a part of your normal weekly, bi-weekly or monthly process. Doing it once is great, doing it regularly ensures that you can always stay ahead of the "next" curve.

Taverham Bridge Club


From elementary school doodles of swans, the Vietnamese translation of Nga "Swan" Ly's first name, Swan's interests were always split two-fold into art and medicine. Art Club and classes tempered her skills as an artist while a pre-medical major and positions as a lab assistant at the Lineberger Cancer Research Center and volunteer trainer at the American Red Cross updated her in the latest developments in medicine. Biomedical Visualization became the perfect blend of these two fields that enabled Swan to realize her desire to use art for education. Although she did not choose the profession that can directly cure ailments, Swan can help bring a deeper understanding of the body that may not be achieved through complex medical terminology but can be understood through biomedical visualization. Who knows, perhaps her old practice in drawing swans will aid a client interested in visualizing their biological processes in the future.

Council talks Riverside Drive fencing, drones and more
Craig Pearson
Coun. Irek Kusmierczyk speaks with the media on issues involving aerial drones usage in city parks, and fencing along Riverside Drive, after city council met on Feb. 6, 2017. Photo by Nick Brancaccio /Windsor Star
Should Riverside Drive property owners have to install nice fencing?
Coun. Irek Kusmierczyk on Monday asked for a report on decorative fences along Riverside Drive to enhance what is one of the most scenic streets in the city.
Council talks Riverside Drive fencing, drones and more Back to video
"When you drive along Riverside Drive, which is a scenic route, you notice how private property owners go to great lengths to upkeep their fencing," Kusmierczyk said at the council meeting. "Then you drive by some of the commercial and industrial properties — such as Ford Motor Company in the Drouillard Road area — and there's chain-link fence and it's rusted through.
"And it really doesn't reflect the high standard we expect of a scenic drive."
Kusmierczyk doesn't think it would be much of a stretch to encourage property owners to have nice fencing, since he sees similar types of bylaws in community improvement areas of the city already. Besides, Kusmierczyk doesn't want to simply tell property owners what to do. He wants to work with them.
"I'm trying to find ways to tighten up regulations for future development," Kusmierczyk said. "But also to provide incentives to allow us to approach Ford Motor Company and say, 'We'll partner with you if you upgrade the fence. We'll help you cover some of the costs.'"
Another issue Kusmierczyk brought up Monday was his concern over the increasing use of drones in city parks.
"It's a privacy issue and a safety issue," he said. "It's also about quality of life. You don't want to go to a public park and then all of a sudden see 20 or 30 drones buzzing around your head."
Currently, the city requires anybody in a park using a drone — or model aircraft, for that matter — to have a permit from the parks department. Anybody flying a drone on a city street or on private property, however, does not need a permit.
"We don't want to dissuade anybody from using this new technology," Kusmierczyk said. "That's exciting. But we want to protect the users of our public parks and beaches."
Cabana expropriation
Windsor has issued a notice of expropriation to six Cabana Road residents, notifying them that the city intends to take a small slice of property.
The expropriation is necessary to allow for the widening of Cabana Road between Howard Avenue and Provincial Road — which will cost a little more than $4 million for construction.
But Mayor Drew Dilkens says the move is routine — something that was done for the widening of Walker Road, for instance — and that he hopes the city can negotiate fair deals with the property owners.
"There are just some slivers of land on the frontage of some properties," Dilkens said. "We still hope to move forward with a willing buyer and willing seller.
"It's much easier to settle the matter by making a reasonable agreement between two parties."

Sony shares jumped 8% after Reuters' Svea Herbst-Bayliss and Liana Baker reported that activist investor Daniel Loeb's hedge fund Third Point was building a stake in the company to push for changes that include shedding some businesses.
Why it may be different this time: Sony is now under new management and its stock has been 10% lower over the last 12 months. Third Point is raising a dedicated investment vehicle to target between $500 million and $1 billion to buy more Sony shares, per the report.
Our thought bubble, from Axios' Sara Fischer: Analysts don't expect Sony to bow to Third Point's pressure to sell Sony Pictures this time around, especially given that the firm will have even less leverage now than it did when it first pushed the Japanese giant to sell Sony Pictures in 2014.
And despite the fact that Sony Pictures has had a rocky few years, Sony's leadership has made it clear that it thinks its long-term growth potential lies within its intellectual property units, like music and movies.
The bottom line: The market for studio-quality content has skyrocketed as a result of a digital TV and movie streaming boom, which has Third Point convicted that Sony Pictures is a hot asset to sell, and Sony convinced that it's a hot asset to keep.

Armenia asks Russia for help and denounces that Azerbaijan has invaded part of its territory | International
The fighting continued this Wednesday along the border between Azerbaijan and Armenia, with dozens of casualties for the second consecutive day, in a growing war escalation that threatens to lead these two Caucasus states back to open war for just two years. after they signed a ceasefire. The Armenian Prime Minister, Nikol Pashinián, denounced that the Azerbaijani troops "have taken control of some territories" internationally recognized as part of the Republic of Armenia, and estimated the losses at about 10 square kilometers. The Armenian president also requested help from his Russian "ally" by invoking the Collective Security Treaty, a Moscow-led defense organization of which Armenia is a founding member. However, the Kremlin has so far been reluctant to help, due to its situation in Ukraine and important economic relations with Azerbaijan.
Although during the night from Tuesday to Wednesday the situation on the border remained calm, within a certain tension, with the arrival of morning the fighting and the exchange of artillery fire resumed, which increased as the the hours. "From one in the afternoon [11.00 horario peninsular], the adversary launched an intense artillery and rocket barrage along the border from Sotk to Goris, also targeting civilian areas. The adversary also widely uses armed drones," a spokesperson for the Armenian Defense Ministry said during a press conference. For his part, the deputy press secretary of the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry accused the Armenian forces of "provocation" and of having kept "the positions of the Azerbaijani Army under intense fire", but added that "the firing points of the Armed Forces Armenian Armies were silenced, and the troops involved in the provocations suffered heavy losses and were forced to retreat."
The NASA FIRMS systemdesigned for fire surveillance, but which has also become a conflict monitoring tool since it detects fire and thermal anomalies almost in real time through satellite and infrared images, it allows confirming dozens of outbreaks on the Armenian side of the border, especially in the province of Syunik, compared to less than a dozen on the Azerbaijani side, in the provinces of Lachin and Kalbayar.
Azerbaijan, a hydrocarbon power, has increased its defense spending in the last two decades to modernize its Army and surpass its neighbor and rival, against whom it lost a war as soon as it became independent from the Soviet Union. Social media accounts linked to the Baku government posted videos of armed drones hitting Russian-made Armenian missile systems, and the president of the Armenian Parliament, Alen Simonian, acknowledged that his country has suffered "significant losses of military equipment."
The casualties on both sides have not stopped increasing either. Armenia on Wednesday raised the number of its military deaths to 105, while Azerbaijan admitted that the casualties exceed the 50 given the previous day, but without specifying their number. On both sides of the border there are also at least a dozen civilians injured and Yerevan also confirmed that there are deaths, although without specifying how many. The Armenian media outlet Civilnet showed images of vehicles and houses allegedly hit by Azerbaijani artillery in villages near the border. More than 2,500 civilians have been displaced from this area, according to the Human Rights Defender of Armenia, Kristinne Grigorián: "The vast majority of the displaced are women, children, and the elderly."
Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Paruyr Hovhannisian lamented that there is a "clear risk" that the current conflagration will lead to open war and, in fact, the Government has the text of martial law ready for approval in case it sees it necessary (the opposition presses for its implementation). The last time martial law was applied was two years ago, when Azerbaijan launched an offensive to regain control of Nagorno-Karabakh (a region of Azerbaijani territory populated mainly by Armenians that rose up in arms with the support of Yerevan at the beginning of the decade 1990), and that conflict ended with a resounding Armenian defeat and the death of more than 6,500 people between the two countries, which barely add up to 13 million inhabitants.

Meanwhile, the great powers have mobilized to try to stop the escalation. The representative of the European Union for the South Caucasus, Toivo Klaar, met on Wednesday with the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, and his Foreign Minister, Jeyhun Bayramov. France and the United States called on both sides to stop the violence, but insisted that Azerbaijan must stop attacks on Armenian territory. "The fact is that we have seen clear evidence of Azerbaijani bombing inside Armenia and significant damage to Armenian infrastructure," said US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.
Russia, on the other hand, has been more restrained in its statements, despite the fact that it is Armenia's main military supporter and maintains two military bases on its territory, in addition to 2,000 troops deployed in Nagorno-Karabakh as a peacekeeping force. According to Armenian media, a convoy of border guards from the Russian FSB security service was hit in Armenia on its way to that area, something Yerevan accused the Azerbaijani Army of, but the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense denied.
On Thursday, the mission of the Collective Security Treaty Organization will arrive in Armenia to collect information. For the moment, this is all that Yerevan has achieved from Russia, despite having asked for stronger support to counter Azerbaijani superiority.

Casa confortevole, al centro del paese. Gentili e disponibili i proprietari. Un paio di accortezza in più - mensole dentro la doccia per poggiare shampoo e saponi, cestino sempre in bagno, scolaposate in cucina - e la casa sarebbe perfetta.


Every forum has this tread and although we are all old and most of you people probably don't even upgrade your PCs anymore, it's just tradition to have it show up in the gaming/tech area.
Kurie's looks better than Carlos imo. Much more streamlined.
Mine is...sofa in front of TV --> laptop on table --> cooling unit under it and mouse on the side. Neat because I can watch TV as I do things and I can lie down on the sofa when I need a rest.
Now that it's warming up, the blankets are no longer necessary! Though it seems like my laptop will have issues with heat, so I'll probably have to buy a cooling pad. ;_; It was 77F (25C) in the house yesterday and RO2 was acting wonky.
I just noticed my avatar is on Kurie's screen ;) oh baby baby!
Raela's set up looks so cozy, I just want to sit in that couch and watch some netflix.


This is a great opportunity for the investor or owner occupied. The 4 units each have 2 bedrooms and 1 bath and has had a very good rental history.

Glendale-Based ServiceTitan Adds Landscaping to Its Platform for Trades Workers
Bernard Mendez
Bernard Mendez is an editorial intern at dot.LA. He attends UCLA, where he is pursuing a bachelor's degree in applied mathematics. Mendez was previously an editor at the Daily Bruin, the student newspaper at UCLA.

A platform built for the millions of contractors and blue-collar tradespeople, ServiceTitan has become a giant.
Built by the children of immigrant trades workers, the Glendale-based company picked up Aspire Software, adding landscaping to its software platform for residential and commercial contractors. ServiceTitan also raised $200 million in Series G funding.
Wednesday's moves bring the ServiceTitan's valuation to $9.5 billion, making it one of the most valuable startups in Southern California. The funding round was led by Thoma Bravo, a leading software investment firm.
The software company had a $500 million round of funding four months ago in March and acquired ServicePro, a software company for the pest control industry, in February.
ServiceTitan's software is targeted toward tradespeople and offers a wide toolkit of software for contractors, like scheduling, invoicing and marketing.
Ara Mahdessian and Vahe Kuzoyan founded the company in 2012, inspired by their parents who worked tirelessly but didn't have the software or system to track their business.
"Our parents' businesses were still frozen in time," Mahdessian, who immigrated to the U.S. from Iran as a child, told dot.LA in March. "All this hard work that they were doing, much of it was unnecessary. We could automate it for them."
ServiceTitan said it has grown 50% over the last 12 months. Demand for home improvement services surged during the pandemic as office workers set up at their residences.
"Both Aspire and ServiceTitan were born out of a desire to improve the lives of contractors who work tirelessly to serve their communities, but who have historically been underserved by technology," Mahdessian said in a press release.

Varshavskaya () is a Moscow Metro station in the   Moscow. It is on the Bolshaya Koltsevaya line, between Kakhovskaya and Kashirskaya stations.

Varshavskaya opened on 11 August 1969 as part of the Zamoskvoretskaya line and up until 1995 was served by its trains. It the station on the line of the Metro.

Name
Varshavskaya is named after Varshavskoye Highway, under which it is situated. The highway in turn takes its name from Warsaw, the capital of Poland.

Design
The station was designed by architects Nina Alyoshina and Nataliya Samoylova to a typical 1960s Moscow pillar-trispan design - "sorokonozhka" (centipede) and features two rows of 40 square pillars which flare towards the top faced with pink-yellow marble. A floor laid with grey granite of various shades and asphalt on the platform edges. The walls are covered by indigo ceramic tiles and blue marble socle. In addition there are several metallic artworks depicting silhouette images of famous landmarks in the city of Warsaw (work of Kh. Rysin, A. Lapin, D. Bodniyek)
The station is located next to two important southbound arteries – the Varshavskoye Highway and the Kolomenskoye Railway station of the Paveletsky suburban railway line, but neither are pointed in Warsaw's direction and neither reach the city. The eastern vestibule has subways leading directly to the rail platforms, whilst the western vestibule is situated under the T-junction of the highway and the Chongarsky Boulevard that comes off it. In 2019, as part of the reconstruction of the Kakhovskaya line and its future inclusion in the Bolshaya Koltsevaya line, work began on replacing the entire decoration of the station.

Behind the station is a branch that leads to the Zamoskvoretskoye depot which serves both the Kakhovskaya and the Zamoskvoretskaya lines. Because of this, on occasion there is a direct service from Varshavskaya to all northbound stations on the Zamoskvoretskaya line and vice versa. Trains that do that are singled out by being eight rather than six cars long.

A state appeals court in Los Angeles has tossed out a suit brought by a UC Berkeley law student seeking to recover a $10 million Picasso painting looted by the Nazis during World War II.
Thomas Bennigson, a student at Berkeley's Boalt Hall School of Law, had sued a Chicago widow to regain possession of "Femme en Blanc," a painting that had belonged to his grandmother, a Jewish woman who fled Germany in the late 1930s. She had sent the painting to a Paris art dealer for safekeeping.
Despite her efforts, the painting was stolen by the Nazis. Decades passed, and in 1975 James Alsdorf of Chicago bought the painting for $375,000 from a Manhattan art gallery.
After Alsdorf died, his widow, Marilyn Alsdorf, sent it to a Los Angeles art dealer in 2001, hoping to sell the painting. Bennigson learned of the painting's existence and filed a suit in Los Angeles Superior Court in 2002 asking for the return of the painting or $10 million.
In June, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled that the legal battle should be fought in Chicago, instead of Los Angeles.
A state Court of Appeal agreed, ruling Thursday that Bennigson, who lives in Oakland, did not have jurisdiction to sue Alsdorf in California because the painting was only briefly in a Los Angeles art gallery before Alsdorf had it returned to Chicago.
Bennigson's attorney, E. Randol Schoenberg, said they will probably appeal the ruling to the California Supreme Court. If the ruling stands, "it's devastating for the recovery of stolen art in California," he said. "You can just send the painting out of state."

For three Carson Country hockey players, the opening of a new ice rink in South Lake Tahoe couldn't have come at a better time.
Jonathan Singer and Matthew Scherer of Carson and Angela Nelson of Gardnerville have joined the newly formed Sierra Hawks 10-and-under traveling hockey team coached by Kelsey Zeek. The team will train at the new state of the art facility on the south shore of Lake Tahoe.
The Sierra Ice Hawks is a co-ed team made up of players from Reno, Sparks and South Lake Tahoe, along with the three Carson Country players. They've entered three inline hockey tournaments this year. Their next one is this weekend in Sonora, Calif. Despite being together for only a few months, the Ice Hawks finished third in two recent tournaments against teams that have been together for several years.
Zeek thinks their improvement will only skyrocket once school is out because then the team can consistently get more ice time at the new arena for practice, which will only accelerate the transition from inline hockey to ice hockey.
Zeek eventually wants the team to compete in the Northern California League, which would put them up against top competition against Bay area teams. But unless Zeek can put together three or more teams from the same club, it won't happen. But he's confident it will after this year.
Until then, Chris Perry, the South Lake Tahoe Ice Arena director, told Zeek that he could get the Ice Hawks to play an exhibition schedule. That would still give the Ice Hawks a chance to play quality teams and get them into competitive tournaments until they are affiliated with the Nor-Cal League.
Zeek eventually wants the Sierra Ice Hawks to play in tournaments all over North America. He believes the talent is there and with the opening of the ice rink, it should all come together. Zeek is still looking for a half dozen more players to complete his roster. He will offer tryouts to intermediate level and above players under 10. For more information, please contact him at (530) 577-7563 or (530) 542-0744.
