Trailer: What Women Want (2000)


Fans of aviation will be immediately familiar with Frank Nicholas Piasecki and his engineering achievements. However, who were these "other Polish designers"? They were the leading experts in their respective areas of expertise, but due to the conditions imposed upon them by history very few people will associate their names with machines such as DH-106 Comet, Westland Lynx, Caravelle, or the icon of passenger aviation: the Concorde.
These "others" are forgotten Polish engineers to whom the present exhibition is dedicated. Their talents and skills blossomed before the Second World War when the dynamic growth of the aviation industry in inter-war Poland was being shaped by deliberate policy of utilising domestic facilities. This way our aviation industry could boast a number skilled engineers who could easily compete with top foreign experts. They were graduates of Institutes of Technology in Warsaw and Lvov. They worked at Polish aviation companies, especially at Panstwowe Zakłady Lotnicze (PZL - State Aviation Works), Podlaska Wytwórnia Samolotów (PWS -Podlasie Aircraft Works) and Lubelska Wytwórnia Samolotów (LWS - Lublin Aircraft Works). We also must not forget about the scientific personnel employed by Instytut Techniczny Lotnictwa (ITL - Technical Institute of Aviation). In 1930s Poland was one of the eight exporters of aviation equipment.
Few other professional groups of Polish intelligentsia contributed so much to the material and spiritual achievements of global engineering ideas. They created and executed research programmes, courageous scientific and technical designs, and they also glorified Polish engineering ideas on all continents. Frank Piasecki was born in the New World but all the other protagonists of our exhibition were born on the old continent. The turmoil of history made it so that the Polish engineering ideas ended up mainly in the West.
When Poland lost the defensive war of autumn 1939 more than 200 engineers and approximately 800 aviation technicians ended up outside the Polish territories occupied by Germany and the USSR.
When the Polish Armed Forces were disbanded and acknowledgement of the Polish government-in-exile was withdrawn in July 1945, a new chapter in life began for them. The fight for independence of their homeland – with gun in hand or behind the drawing board – ended in failure. Someone else and according to different plans began creating a completely new air fleet in Poland. When their dreams of triumphant return home were shattered they had to face the new dilemma of what to do next. The British were reluctant to employ them at their design bureaus. "Go home" was frequently said to Poles, including engineers as well. However, Canadians and Americans saw things differently. After all, a new "cold war" had begun and they had been looking for prominent minds.
As a visionary, Frank N. Piasecki was gladly taking them under his wings, he knew and trusted them. When discussing the so-called national traits of Poles, people usually list imagination, boldness, penchant for risk, dislike for small, ineffective actions, and tendency to undertake ambitious tasks. Therefore, it is very interesting to note that the most prominent of all the great Polish engineers created their magnificent works in difficult conditions and thinking outside the box. Frank N. Piasecki had all those traits, even though he was born in America. Many famous Poles worked at Piasecki's facilities, among others the late professor Wieslaw Stepniewski, engineer Piotr Kubicki, Bogdan Trocki, and Tadeusz Tarczynski.

Q: syntax error when using forward slash to define positional only arguments I'm following the python tutorial here.
I'm trying to define a function with positional only arguments and I get a invalid syntax error
I've tried both the command line interpreter and putting the definition into a file
My definition looks like this
def pos_only(x,/):
    return x**2

I get the usual syntax error
  File "bas.py", line 1
    def pos_ony(x,/):
                  ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Using * to define a keyword argument only function works just fine.

A: This works in 3.8 and 3.9, but not before:

McKenry had a fine offensive season in 2012 fueled by a surprising display of some power. The solid offensive showing and the fact that h e was only terrible at throwing out would be base stealers (as opposed to historically awful) made it a little surprising he did not assume more of the starting catcher role as the season wore on. McKenry was the Pirates best catcher in 2012 but make no mistake he is not a starting catcher. McKenry's surprising power surge in 2012 was more likely a result of a small sample size than it was of any real breakout. Despite the fact that McKenry's offensive numbers are likely to regress in 2013 he should still remain a solid backup catcher as he is a good defender and can hit at least a little bit. His defense is overrated by some segments of the Pirates fan base but it is very solid. Overall the Pirates should still feel comfortable using McKenry on a semi-regular basis in order to ease the burden put on Martin. I expect McKenry will likely receive around 50-70 starts in 2013 depending on Martin's health and the performance of the catchers behind him on the Pirates depth chart. I'm expecting McKenry to receive around 200-250 PA this season, while being roughly a 1.0 WAR player and posting an OPS of approximately .670 (.300 OBP, .370 SLG).
This upcoming season should see Tony Sanchez make his major league debut. He has the reputation of being a strong defender with a questionable bat but some power. Sanchez is the Pirates third catcher and will likely be the first player called up from the minors should an additional catcher be needed. It is difficult to say just how much he will play in the majors this season because Martin and McKenry have shown to be relatively healthy players and a reasonable expectation is that neither of them should perform poorly in 2013, meaning Sanchez may have to wait a while before ultimately getting a chance to make an impressions. I have Martin pegged for between 90-100 starts and McKenry ticketed for anywhere from 50-70, that doesn't leave a lot of room for Sanchez. My predictions for the other two catchers leave about 10-20 starts for Sanchez as a max so I am not expecting him to get a ton of time in the majors but he is going to have to make good use of the small window he receives. Sanchez will start the year in AAA and I'm expecting to hit better there although still not great. I see him in AAA posting a slash line of roughly .260/.340/.400. To some that may sound optimistic but I feel that is rather reasonable. I'm also expecting him to show some strides defensively as that is what will really carry him. In the majors I'm expecting him to struggle in the limited chances he gets I could see him being about a .3 WAR player and posting a .220/.280/.340 stat line in his limited opportunities.
To summarize I'm expecting Russell Martin to be roughly a league average catcher both offensively and defensively for the Pirates, I'm expecting McKenry to see a drop off in his offensive production but still be a respectable backup catcher and I'm expecting Sanchez to have a solid showing at AAA but struggle in his limited big league opportunities. For 2013 the catching position for the Pirates looks around league average to me and in reality if they can get that it will be a significant improvement from where they were last season.

9.5 Billion?
July 31, 2010 • Daily Email Recap
by Robert J. Walker, Executive Vice President
Officially, World Population Day occurs every year on July 11. But for those who track the world's changing demographics, another population day occurs a few weeks later when the Population Reference Bureau (PRB) publishes its annual World Population Data Sheet, which is widely considered to be the most accurate source of information on population. And today's the day.
So let's look at the latest numbers, and let's start with the global numbers. PRB estimates world population for mid-2010 is now 6.9 billion (6,892,319,000 to be exact) and that it will reach the 7.0 billion mark next year, just twelve years after the 6.0 billion mark was reached. PRB's population clock estimates that world population is increasing at just over 83 million people per year.
PRB now projects that world population will be 9.485 billion by mid-2050, just shy of 9.5 billion. That number is slightly higher than last year's projection (9.421 billion), and notably higher than the U.N.'s current medium variant projection (9.149 billion), as reported in World Population Prospects: the 2008 Revision.
PRB latest data sheet indicates a very slight decline in the world's total fertility rate (the average number of children that a woman has in her lifetime), but it's not uniform. Europe's estimated TFR increases slightly (from 1.5 to 1.6), while Eastern Africa's goes down slightly (from 5.4 to 5.3), as does the TFR for the United States (from 2.1 to 2.0).
Some of the changes from last year are more striking. Last year, PRB estimated that the population of the Democratic Republic of Congo would jump from 68.7 million to 189.3 million in 2050. That mid-century estimate was lowered this year to 166.2 million. Some of that is accounted for by a drop in the birth rate, but more significantly perhaps the death rate is rising in the DRC: from an estimated 13 deaths per thousand to 17 deaths per thousand. On the other side of the population coin, the projected decline in Russia's population has eased. Last year, PRB projected that Russia's population would decline from142 million to 116.9 million by 2050. This year, the 2050 projection was increased to 126.7 million.
We should be careful to not read too much into the year-to-year changes. But this much is clear. Contrary to the claims made by Fred Pearce and others who have declared that population growth no longer poses a challenge, the projected increased in the world's population has important implications for the future of the planet and the welfare of humankind.
If PRB's projection is realized, we will be adding about 2.6 billion people to the planet over the next 40 years, considerably higher than the "2 billion" figure that's often thrown about. No one knows, of course, whether PRB's population projection will be realized. Much depends on how fast fertility rates fall, and whether death rates start rising again, as is presently happening in the DRC. But if global population continues to grow in line with PRB's current projection, we have a lot of work cut out for us. Meeting our rising demand for food, energy and water, while simultaneously addressing the challenges posed by climate change, will not be easy. It may be impossible.

For fledgling retailers, wholesalers and restaurants, having the right amount of the right type of inventory at the right time is critical to their existence. If their inventory is ever out of sync with their customers' needs, it could mean losing a customer or worse, their reputation in the market. Because most smaller businesses rely almost exclusively on cash flow to purchase inventory, any interruption or unexpected shortage could disrupt their inventory purchases, resulting in more cash shortages down the road. To avoid this vicious cycle, businesses need a quick and reliable source of capital to keep their shelves stocked. An inventory line of credit can provide the essential lifeline businesses need to keep their cash flowing.
What is an Inventory Line of Credit?
An inventory line of credit (LOC) is a form of short-term financing specifically designed to help small businesses buy the inventory they need, when they need it. The credit line is typically based on the strength of a company's sales and can range from $50,000 to as much as $500,000. Once established, a company can request a drawdown that can be received in as little as two or three days. The company's on hand inventory and/or the inventory being purchased is used as collateral to secure the amount borrowed.
Interest rates on this type of financing are typically much higher than on traditional loans, but companies should only be borrowing amounts they expect to repay within a short period of time. The ability to control the amount borrowed and repay the loan quickly makes the inventory LOC much more desirable than trying to obtain a fixed, longer term loan.
The annual percentage rate (APR) and the size of the LOC are determined based on these requirements. Higher credit scores and annual revenues and longer operating histories will warrant consideration for a lower APR and higher LOC.
In addition, companies may be required to demonstrate a solid foundation in inventory management. This could include having an effective inventory management system in place; being able to present accurate business records and an account of the total inventory; and ensuring the warehouse facility is properly structured and maintained. All of this should be done in anticipation of an onsite audit performed by the lender or a third party.
The business needs an infusion of capital to restock its inventory ahead of heavy sales season.
The business could benefit from having a flexible form of financing available to smooth out cash flow and cover ongoing operating expenses.
The business has an opportunity for a major inventory purchase at a steep discount and needs additional capital.
Small retailers, manufacturers and distributors with strong sales growth can benefit from inventory financing. The ability to have just-in-time financing available for inventory needs can make far more sense for a company than trying to obtain longer-term financing. Companies don't have to be concerned with having to tell customers they are under-stocked or sold out, or being able to pursue a big order or new customers, because the capital can always be available to meet the demand. When used properly, inventory financing can be an effective financial management tool, enabling a business to better control cash flow and keep more of its own capital working in the business.

Every October (and much of the rest of the year now), consumers are bombarded by pink ribbons in the name of Breast Cancer Awareness. Women march for days to honor each other and eagerly put their dollars to use. Husbands and sons proudly wear pink. I even read the sweetest story about a little boy that asked for a pink cast when he broke his arm because he wanted to support breast cancer. You'd be hard-pressed to find a man, woman, or child in this country that is not aware of breast cancer.
We've painted the town pink, but what have we accomplished in the last twenty years? Less than you'd think. How much of the$6 BILLION or so dollars spent last year in the name of breast cancer is actually helping us find a cure? The numbers are shockingly low. How to women who have suffered through breast cancer feel about this? Angry. I watched the documentary Pink Ribbon, Inc. recently. It was a bleak reminder that breast cancer is not pretty in pink. I found it to also be a tragic and embarrassing commentary on the state of our society's ignorance about what it takes to actually make good things happen rather than making ourselves feel good.
How Close Are We to a Cure?
In 1991, 119 women died of breast cancer every day. 20 years and billions of dollars later, that number is 110.
Advanced stage diagnoses among women ages 25-39 has nearly doubled since 1976.
Each year, 70,000 women are diagnosed late stage, after the cancer has spread to other organs.
Only 1 in 5 of these women will survive, a grim number that hasn't changed since 1976.
1/3 of all women considered cured by their doctor suffer recurrences.
The likelihood of diagnosis has risen 1% per year steadily for decades and we still don't know the cause.
What Do the Sufferers Think?
The $20 Save the Ta-Tas T-shirt you bought doesn't help pay the mounting medical bills that insurance doesn't cover or the loss of income from missed work.
They want life support. They have families to care for, jobs to go to, and bills to pay.
"I am NOT a Survivor"
To be a survivor implies you fought a battle that could be lost/won by fighting hard enough and that discredits the women who die as having not tried hard enough.
They don't want to be told to fight or that you know they can "beat it".
You can't put a pink ribbon on a pig and call it pretty.
Cancer is ugly no matter how many smiling women you see in pink tu-tus parading their support of awareness.
They want you to know there is still no cure.
Breast cancer is big business for both nonprofits organizations and for profit corporations. Want to know where $6 BILLION consumers dollars is going annually? There's not enough space on the internet to tell you everything you don't want to hear, but let's start with two you are probably familiar with.
Susan G. Koman for the Cure, is the largest of 1,400 IRS recognized tax-exempt charities devoted to breast cancer. In the last five years, they have grossed over $1 BILLION. Yet they have a paltry 2-Star rating by Charity Navigator. Why? There is a long list, but let's start with this: Only 20% of their fundraising goes to research for the cure. Only 10% goes to fund treatments for the cure. Their Founder (not the CEO) makes over half a million dollars a year. The saddest part, is that they aren't the worst offender. While there are many legit breast cancer charities with 4-star ratings, there are dozens that are total scams. Read about this scam where consumers were bilked of $187M over a period of over 20 years.
While SGK at least started out of a genuine desire to support the disease that killed the founder's sister, the NFL's decision to support breast cancer is purely a marketing gimmick. They were surprised to find they have a larger female audience than they thought and needed to earn brownie points to counter all the bad publicity their players generate, often related to violence against women. So lets look at the numbers: pink-washed NFL products are sold at 100% markup. 25% goes to NFL royalties and 90% of that royalty goes to the American Cancer Society. The other 10% goes to pay for the awareness campaign. So if you bought $100 worth of merchandise, $11.25 made it to the ACS. The remainder goes to the manufacturer (37.5%) and the rest goes to the NFL (50%). So lets take that one step further: 70% of the ACS' income goes to ALL cancer research and cancer programs, not just breast cancer. Read more at Business Insider. The NFL is taking advantage of consumers' good hearts. Before you argue the benefit of their awareness campaign with me, find one person who has never heard of breast cancer. The NFL's awareness campaign is cause marketing garbage. It discredits genuine cause marketing that has real impact and – worse – it literally takes money away from research to find a cure and assistance to those suffering. It's worse than stealing candy from babies. Not cool, NFL. Not cool.
I wish I could say they are the only ones but with everything from drill bits to baby diapers being painted pink, the list is long. The organization Think Before You Pink combats "pink-washing" – this is brands that create a false sense of goodwill among consumers while doing more to increase profits than to promote a cure and brands that promote the cause while selling products with known carcinogens. Some of the names you'll see? Avon, Yoplait, and KFC. Surprised? Me, too.
How You Can Help the Cause.
Volunteer to teach women in under-served communities how to do self-exams and where to find low-cost/free mammography services.
Instead of racing for a cure, race to help someone who is suffering. Take their kid to soccer practice, drive them to treatment, make sure the lawn is mowed, be a shoulder to cry on.

US Credibility and the Afghanistan Withdrawal By Riccardo Perissich Former General Director of the EU Commission
14 septembre 2021 par blogazoi Laisser un commentaire
US Credibility and the Afghanistan Withdrawal
by Riccardo Perissich,
Whatever one may think of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, a decision that President Biden shared with his predecessor Donald Trump, most observers on both sides of the Atlantic seem to agree that both the planning and the execution phases of the withdrawal were botched
Europeans in particular, including the ever-faithful US allies in the UK, complain about not having been adequately consulted or involved in the decision and execution of the withdrawal. Whatever the merits of this debate, it has inevitably led to fundamental questions about US foreign policy and its future trajectories. After four years of Trump, many in Europe are legitimately concerned. Old and by now familiar academic debates about Washington's priorities, credibility and handling of global affairs have resurfaced as a result.
The underlining question is: to what foreign policy tribe does Biden belong? Is he an optimist or a pessimist? A realist or an idealist? A liberal internationalist or a nationalist? Is he a Wilson or a Roosevelt and if the answer leans towards latter, which of the two Roosevelts' are we referring to?
Unfortunately, such questions and comparisons will not take us very far. Such exercises can be useful to simplify complex issues; however, in the real-world, politicians and diplomats are seldom driven by concepts or ideology. What matters are the concrete problems they are confronted with and the available options they chose to pursue.
Some of these problems are expected, some are not foreseen and others still are unexpected and simply happen. Concepts contribute to the decision, sometimes they help to rationalise it post factum, but action in foreign policy, as in many other fields, is ultimately the result of a complicated balancing act, one that involves striking a balance between interests, values, capacity and context.
The domestic context also plays an important role. The stronger the domestic consensus, the higher the probability that a government will be confident enough to take bold action and shoulder the risks. However, a government in trouble can also use bold action to recover consensus (as UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher did in the Falklands). Of course, there also is history's trump card: mistakes, the many cases when we misjudged the context, our strength or that of our adversary and as a result the outcome was not what we had originally expected.
Autocrats may have the leisure to act according to a plan or be driven by ideology, most often for the worse. Democratically elected leaders – even Donald Trump – do not have that privilege and are obliged to be pragmatic. This does not mean that all democratic leaders are similar, but that they resist being constrained in simple categories.
Some leaders learn from mistakes, others do not. Some, like Churchill and De Gaulle, are propelled to leadership by events. Others surprise us; few were prepared to bet on German Chancellor Helmut Kohl or Angela Merkel at the beginning of their mandates. At the end of the day, the real test is competence and consistency; which can only be determined by the results achieved over time. Former President Trump failed on both accounts.
When a perceived failure, or indeed also a success, concerns a great power such as the United States, there is also the irresistible temptation to interpret it as a game changer, a turning point in history. For the never-the-samers, if the Berlin wall falls and the Soviet Union collapses, it is "the end of history". If the US botches the exit from Afghanistan, it is "the end of the American century". Short of a major war, even big events are seldom a turning point. Or, maybe the correct way to put it is that the wheel never stops turning; only the speed changes.
Two Roman senators meeting for a drink in the dramatic months that followed the overthrown of Nero, with three aspiring Emperors competing for the throne, may well have agreed that what they were witnessing was "the end of Rome". In fact, the "real Roman century" was only about to start.
The debate about Afghanistan is strangely focused on the failure to "export democracy". In reality we went there for a variety of reasons that varied over time. One of them, at some point and for some people, was to export democracy; but to be honest, we never really tried. The reason for the failure is not that democracy was not exported, but that we were there without a clear strategy.
What has happened in Afghanistan has probably damaged the US's reputation, which confines but does not necessarily coincide with credibility. Reputation concerns the past, credibility is what friends, foes and your own people expect you to do in the future and how confident they are that you will deliver.
In this respect, Afghanistan tells us very little about Biden's future intentions and ability to confront Russia in Europe. Or about the much more complicated task of confronting China in Asia, from Taiwan, to technological decoupling and the complex relationship with actual or potential allies in the Indo-Pacific. If anything, it confirms that Biden is essentially a pragmatist that seeks to reconcile a divided country with the difficulty to confront a potential Chinese threat in a world that has acquired the habit of expecting too much from the US.
It remains to be seen how competent and consistent Biden will be and how capable he is to learn from mistakes. The test for his credibility will be the ability to convince partners as well as foes that the refocusing of his foreign policy priorities is an element of strength and not weakness. More importantly for us Europeans, how far will Biden be prepared to listen to our concerns and treat us as partners and not only as supporting actors?
Afghanistan may have been a blunder but so was the Bay of pigs; probably a worse one. This did not prevent John F. Kennedy from being remembered for the masterful handling of the Cuban missile crises and ascend to the heaven of great statesmen. Not all Presidents have George H.W. Bush's privilege to faultlessly terminate the cold war, achieve German unification, win the Gulf war….only to move on to lose re-election.
History is only beginning now.

Create the branding of a modern champagne is a major challenge for us, facing number of marks of that field, numbers of big houses with important resources. How to stand out from the crowd? The usual - and colds - color codes of this product associated with the world of the luxurious are black, gold, silver and the bright pink - for the pink champagne. But the champagne is, before all, a festive product, generally drunk in moments of enjoyment and conviviality. Leaving of this analysis, we based all the visual identity of Mater & Filii on colors and "real" materials, while working an refine and elegant aspect.
[FR] Nouvelle marque, moderne, de Champagne - Les champagnes Mater & Filii sont nés d'une belle histoire de famille, de lignée, celle d'un fils expert en droit des affaires qui, après 20 années à brasser de l'intangible, reprend les vignes de sa mère à son départ en retraite, d'où le choix du nom Mater & Filii : Mater pour mère et Filii pour fils. Et d'où le choix du logo : L'ADN du logotype exprime en effet cette histoire de transmission. Parvenir à une communication différenciante était un défi de taille pour ce récent viticulteur, face à nombre de marques de Champagne, à nombres de grandes maisons aux moyens importants. Comment se démarquer ? Les codes couleurs usuels - et froids - de ce produit associé au monde du luxueux sont le noir, l'or, l'argent et le rose - pour le champagne rosé. Pourtant le champagne est avant tout un produit festif, de partage, que l'on consomme généralement dans des moments de joie et de convivialité. Partant de ce constat, nous avons axé toute l'identité visuelle de Mater & Filii sur la couleur osée et assumée et les matières "naturelles" brutes, tout en travaillant un aspect épuré et élégant.

Here's the choice of the name Mater and Filii: Mater for mother and Filii for son. And here's the choice of the logo: the DNA of the logotype indeed expresses this history of transmission.

Manual Therapy in Children presents a comprehensive conceptual approach to the subject of manual therapy for children of different ages. This approach considers the relationship between the neuromusculoskeletal structure and function at different stages of development and places strong emphasis on the prevention of problems as the child develops as well as on their safe and effective treatment and management.
Radiology in Manual Therapy describes the functional radiology of the spine in the young child and how to take, interpret, and document radiographs in infants and young children.

That participation is foundational for the group, as its mandate is that the youth themselves decide how, when, and where they engage with their surroundings and peers, without having to fit into a pre-existing framework. "We roam," Lori says, who meets with the youth in many different locations. "We want to make sure like kids feel like they're a part of the broader community." One of the group's biggest pieces is what's called the 'Inspire Me' initiative. "It allows youth to come forward with ideas and questions that allow them experiential opportunities," Lori explains. This led, for example, to the gardening robot. "We learned so much about coding, electronics, and how to actually build something," Lori says. But it only grew from there: the youth created the Full Steam Tech Club, which offers workshops to other youth on how to build small robots, how to program robotic kits, and how to make use of 3D printers. Most of all, it allows youth to step into leadership roles and teach other young people what they know.

What We Know about the "Other" Investigation about which Paul Manafort Lied
February 10, 2019 /83 Comments/in 2016 Presidential Election, Mueller Probe /by emptywheel
In this post, I noted that another investigation that Paul Manafort had been questioned about while he was purportedly cooperating could not be Steve Calk, as I and others had previously assumed. The breach hearing transcript makes it clear that's not true for several reasons, including the length of the names of the key players, and the fact that this involved "saving the candidate."
In this post, I'd like to lay out what we do know about that other investigation.
Effectively, Manafort was asked some questions in a proffer session before his plea on September 13, in response to which he offered information that implicated someone with a 7-character name. [These dates are in the government's January 15 filing at 23.] Then, in a debriefing on October 5, he changed his story to make it less incriminating — and to match the story the subject of the investigation was telling to the FBI at the time (last fall). When pressed by his lawyers, Manafort mostly changed his story back to what it had been. But the head fake made Manafort useless as a witness against this person.
Judge Amy Berman Jackson summed up this change this way:
The allegation is that the defendant offered a version of events that downplayed [redacted; "the President's" or "the Candidate"s might fit] role and/or his knowledge. Specifically, his knowledge of any prior involvement of the [16-17 character redaction] that was inconsistent with and less incriminating of [7 character redaction] than what he had already said during the proffer stage and now consistent with what Mr. [7 character redaction] himself was telling the FBI.
This investigation pertains to events that happened "prior to [Manafort] leaving the campaign (on August 19)." [January 15 filing at 26]
As Andrew Weissman described in the breach hearing, Manafort's version of the story first came when prosecutors, "were asking questions about an e-mail that Mr. [5 character name] had written about a potential way of saving the candidate. That's sort of paraphrasing it. And this was a way of explaining, or explaining away that e-mail." In the Janaury 15 filing, this conversation arises to explain "a series of text messages." [See 25]
Weissmann describes that the revised story Manafort told was, "quite dramatically different. This is not I forgot something or I need to augment some details of a basic core set of facts." Manafort's original story involved Mr. [7 character redaction] providing information about a [redacted] who was doing something. Manafort appears to have made a representation about what Mr. [7 character name] believed about that (likely important to proving intent).
But in the second session, Manafort appears to have shifted the blame, implicating Mr. [5 character name] whom, "Mr. Manafort had previously said, I did not want to be involved in this at all," but leaving out what Mr. [7 character name] had said. Manafort's testimony effectively left out that when Mr. [5 character name] had called previously, Manafort had said, "I'm on it, don't get involved." It appears that Weissmann surmised that Manafort changed the story because his version would make it central to the question of criminality [this might be a reference to being related to the Mueller investigation], so he revised it in an attempt to avoid providing anything that might be helpful to implicating Mr. [7 character name].
Weissmann argues that the lie is important because it effectively made Manafort useless as a witness.
I don't think adversely impact is the standard, but when — assuming that the Court were to find there is a lie, that is the adverse impact in terms of the utility that can be made of the cooperating witness.
While ABJ doesn't seem to think it one of Manafort's most egregious lies, she does recognize that it meets the materiality standard of a false statements charge.
Weissmann: I do think if the Court was trying to address also the issue of whether it hits all the elements of a false statement in terms of is it material to an investigation, I mean, what we've tried to do with each of these is put in enough context to show the materiality here, the whole —
THE COURT: I understand the materiality in this circumstance.
When Richard Westling tries to dismiss all this as just Manafort getting off to a bad start one day, ABJ corrects him and makes it clear he has substituted one fact for another.
THE COURT: I do think, to quibble with maybe the first thing you said, where you said he started at the level of generality and didn't add the same amount of detail he added the first time, but then he was happy to add the details, that's very different than telling a different detail than the detail you provided the first time. I don't think that's quite a — it was a very generous characterization.
The investigation is in another district. The initial government 12/7 filing says that explicitly at 8. The breach filing at 112 says they had the other investigative team "come here."
This could be the hush payments (investigated in SDNY), but Michael Cohen — if he's the 5-character name redacted — never said he didn't want to be involved in those.
It could also involve Manafort's burgeoning FARA scandal: Vin Weber or Greg Craig could be the 5-character name, and Tony Podesta could be the 7-character name (though I doubt Manafort would perjure himself at this point to save Podesta, particularly at the detriment of Weber). The timing would work perfectly, as would the timing of the subject of this investigation talking to the FBI last fall. But it's not clear that that burgeoning investigation ever really required "saving the candidate," as the 5-character person seems to have deemed the issue.
Given the timing, it might involve the PsyGroup offer, but with Jared Kushner rather than Don Jr playing the starring role. That would mean that offer of foreign assistance investigation would have been moved to another district, possibly SDNY like the rest of things. Rick Gates was in the loop on that, but they wouldn't have redacted his name if he were the 5-character named person involved.
Update: This morning, The New Yorker published this on PsyGroup's efforts to win business in the 2016 election, with a description of the FBI's investigation of them. It describes Joel Zamel pitching Jared Kushner, as well as the known outreach to Rick Gates and Don Jr.
During the 2016 Presidential race, the company pitched members of Donald Trump's campaign team on its ability to influence the results. Psy-Group's owner, Joel Zamel, even asked Newt Gingrich, the former House Speaker, to offer Zamel's services to Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law.
In early May, 2016, Zamel sent an e-mail to Gingrich, saying that he could provide the Trump campaign with powerful tools that would use social media to advance Trump's chances. Zamel suggested a meeting in Washington to discuss the matter further. Gingrich forwarded the e-mail to Jared Kushner and asked if the campaign would be interested. Kushner checked with others on the campaign, including Brad Parscale, who ran Web operations. According to a person familiar with the exchange, Parscale told Kushner that they didn't need Zamel's help. (A 2016 campaign official said, "We didn't use their services.")
And while someone claimed they didn't use PsyGroup's services, Zamel reportedly bragged to George Nader after the election that he had helped get Trump elected.
But, according to the Nader representative, shortly after the election Zamel bragged to Nader that he had conducted a secret campaign that had been influential in Trump's victory. Zamel agreed to brief Nader on how the operation had worked. During that conversation, Zamel showed Nader several analytical reports, including one that described the role of avatars, bots, fake news, and unattributed Web sites in assisting Trump. Zamel told Nader, "Here's the work that we did to help get Trump elected," according to the Nader representative. Nader paid Zamel more than two million dollars, but never received copies of the reports, that person said.
If Don Jr. handed the PsyGroup pitch onto Jared and Manafort, it might mean that the other investigation is one into PsyGroup.
As I disclosed last July, I provided information to the FBI on issues related to the Mueller investigation, so I'm going to include disclosure statements on Mueller investigation posts from here on out. I will include the disclosure whether or not the stuff I shared with the FBI pertains to the subject of the post.

Awfully handy that they use a mono-spaced font, huh?
The 7 letter is Assange and the 5 letter is Stone.
BobCon says:
The game I often see of trying to guess what is behind the curtain of redactions makes we wonder why courts don't require less revealing redactions.
I can understand why it was hard in the old days of ink on paper, but these days it seems like there would be easy software solutions to adding random numbers of space before blacking out.
Where "the president's" would fit, "Jared Kushner's" would also fit. It would also make sense for both names to be used, since this is the first time he would have been mentioned. The next time ABJ mentions him, she just uses the last name with no "Mr." consistent with having just said his name a moment before. Perhaps this is a reach, but not terrible as reaches go.
For the other investigation, "Southern District of New York" fits for one instance (since the space at the end of the line is redacted where redactions run over onto the next line) and the "Southern District" fits for the next reference.
Finally, I don't read it as the 5-letter name not wanting to be involved. I read it as Manafort not wanting the 5-letter name to get involved, which does sound like the campaign's view of Cohen.
Another piece to this: at the time Manafort changed his testimony, he would have known Cohen was cooperating, which I think would make him more likely to tell a story implicating Cohen.
Also, Andres later makes a comment that suggests the person Manafort is protecting is still in the administration. Also points to Kushner.
My bet is that this is a reference to either Karen McDougal or something we haven't seen yet along the same lines. And that Kushner was involved. And that he lied to the FBI.
Except that Cohen had already pled by the time Manafort flipped.
I agree that complicates the theory. But we don't necessarily need to look for a motive for him to have told the truth in proffer sessions. The motive is obvious: getting a deal. If later, he decided to lie, Cohen is an obvious person to fall back on blaming.
SolidPossiblility says:
Long-time looky-loo, first-time blah blah.
Kushner (seven letters) instantly sprang to my mind about someone Manafort might have dangled in front of the SCO's bus in proffer and then tried to not implicate in order to hedge a pardon.
Stone (five letter S-word) Manafort could very well have shunned Stone's involvement initially, only to later align his story with Roger's dodgy story.
Thanks EW, you are often a beacon of insight.
The Stone case is SCO, though.
The Stone case is SCO, but he could be involved with Kushner in SDNY or EDNY [I have some reason to think that we may hear from EDNY before all this is over]. Of course, Mr 5 letters could also be Cohen.
Savage Librarian says:
Sater is another 5 letter name who was very invested in having a play in getting the candidate elected. Gosh, there are so many things going on, my head is spinning. So, this is a long shot possibility. I have to read this a few more times before I can get any kind of sense of what is going on.
Forget Paul Manafort – these are the men cooperating with the FBI who Trump should be really afraid of
Felix Sater is likely to be centre-stage if Trump's downfall comes from his Russian monetary connections. Born Felix Sheferovsky in Russia, he is one of the most colourful characters in the Trump chronicles

Wait, I can explain…
I read the entire Manafort breach hearing transcript this weekend. My overriding impression: Amy Berman Jackson is nobody's fool.
Oh, very much nobody's fool. She is smart, and an excellent judge.

Thank dog, maybe we will make it through this mess without losing our democracy.
It would be a good thing to cut this revival of fascism short.
Eureka says:
colujun
The first 7 character blank is not a person, as there is no Mr. or Ms. It is an entity. Could be VTBBANK, a state-owned bank, which would likely not look forward to be subpoena-ed… just guessing.
@ emptywheel says at 4:39 pm
Damn, busted. Well, except for the "her" part.
See, now we have always wondered about that!
PR says:
Manafort has zero incentive to tell the truth. He fears Putin and FSB i.e. torture & death more than US justice. He knows he will forever be a domestic piraha and a target at home (pardoned or not), but he WILL be have HELL to pay if he delivers details about the truth. It's not blind loyalty to Trump per se, it's fear of torture, murder, more puppeteering for Putin. Payback. His wife does not fear Mueller, prison for her husband, or being an outcast, or being exposed. She fears losing money and being beaten, killed, butchered, spirited away for all of the above followed by death. This is how Russia works and they know that. Federal prison looks more like a VACAY in this light, which gives better insight into Manafort's previous bragging about how nice prison was – because he knows what awaits the PRICE OF TRUTH: death, painful death. Manafort is a distraction, a traitor, and a distorter. If anything, I'd caution you all not to take him at his word. His testimony is intentionally inconsistent and misleading because he never wanted a plea. He is wholly unreliable given the pressure he faces. He's ostentatious, greedy, smarmy, showy, and lives too large for any kind of special protection we'd piecemeal out. For Manafort, the only longshot bet is a pardon a la Scooter Libby.
Want to know why we're in this mess? Dick Fucking Cheney. Exposing Valerie Plame forever damaged and politized IC, and re-made the GOP into a party of traitors, tea baggers, hacks, idiots, and wealthy con artists huddling the aforementioned w/ SCAM-gelicals to coalesce around UN-American ideals for greed.
Finger-pointing and revisionist history by Manafort is anathema to truth-finding. It's what he's NOT saying. He's been threatened. Repeatedly. As has Donald Trump. This is why they will NEVER turn on each other.
Comprende? Es claro no es nublado. Un consejo: no tenemos mucho tiempo por pendejadas. Impeach & sacalo CON PRISA
Seeing what Manafort has done to his wife, then telling his daughters they were to blame for their moms suicide attempt told me all I need to know. He is evil.
EmmaBest released the details I believe. I think people mainly don't discuss it out of horror at his actions.
Actually I do have a question for Marcy/bmaz/Rayne amd I hope this isn't stupid and I beg patience because I'm a newbie:
Just how are the redaction determinations made? Is there some kind of official guidance?
Obviously the prosecutors have their say, but what about the defense? Can they contest a redaction, or request that an item be redacted?
I don't know about the legalities, but in this transcript, the defense specifically deferred to the prosecution for the redactions (saying, "we trust their judgement" or something to that effect). I understand there is a DOJ policy about not publicly releasing names of uncharged individuals, but IANAL. I'm sure there are other considerations.
The defense usually requests any redacting they want above what the prosecution is doing, through the prosecution. If there is a disagreement, then you go to the court. Frankly, the prosecution usually gets it done.
@ bmaz says at 4:50 pm
Gosh, after all these years, dating back to FDL… didn't know I was being so elusive!
(hint, mods: google is your friend :~)
with a careful choice of search terms, yeah. (I didn't see a year on teddy's album, but it must be fairly recent, given those signs.)
(ssssshhhhh: that was W-impeach!)
Areader2019 says:
"Now that both the House and Senate investigative committees have cleared Donald Trump of Democrat-inspired allegations of Russian collusion"….(thehill)
Trump has not been 'cleared'. I just feel like the blue bubble and red bubble are getting farther and farther apart. This just has to end ugly.
LeeNLP says:
I don't have a link, but I remember reading about a study that quantified the degree to which the right wing interwebs linked to any kind of reputable news sources, the kind with actual reporting and boots on the ground, not just other conspiracy theorists. The conclusion was (IIRC) that there were virtually no such connections; the RW echo chamber really is an echo chamber, a closed system bubble.
So it's more a case of the red bubble moving farther and farther away from reality, not just from the blue bubble.
Rather like the red shift of the Universe. The farther out you go, the more shifted to the red you get. Or vice versa.
The Trump project needs only two things: keep the base on board, and peel away a percentage only big enough to win by a percent or two. Just look at Michigan where Trump won by a mere 10K votes — approximately two votes per precinct.
That's why the network relationship maps for the right-wing look so tight.
[5 character name] could be [Peter] Smith. The Smith operation sort of fits with "potential way of saving the candidate" and when you stick his name into the redactions, the rest of the narrative also fits.
(That might also make 7-character name floor-shitter Chuck Johnson.)
Ererich says:
Kushner makes possible sense. Weismann makes references to how the person told investigators something less nefarious. We know kush has been interviewed at length. Also could be a wild card.
There is a pardon in Trumps desk drawer with the Rug's name on it . . of course he will issue it + 20 others. America self fucked in 2016 – Don't worry be happy!
Eh, people have been saying that from the start. Let's see how it plays out.
I've given these names to Brendan Emmett Quigley for his puzzle page (???)
Five come a seven………………… or Pardon Me?
STONE, COHEN, GATES, TRUMP, FLYNN, PENCE, CORSI, NADER, SMITH, HICKS, PUTIN, and POTUS.
DOSSIER, KUSHNER, MUELLER, IMPEACH, SCANDAL, CREDICO, NUNBERG, ASSANGE, TORSHIN, PRIEBUS, KISLYAK, TREASON, CORRUPT, ASSHOLE, DIPSHIT, MORONZS, and VTBBANK.
NYT:
This goes, I think, very much to the heart of what the special counsel's office is investigating."
Mr. Weissmann did not elaborate.
This goes, I think, very much to the heart of what the Special Counsel's Office is investigating. And in 2016 there is an in-person meeting with someone who the Government has certainly proffered to this Court in the past, is understood by the FBI, assessed to be — have a relationship with Russian intelligence, that there is (redacted)-.
And there is an in-person meeting at an unusual time for somebody who is the campaign chairman to be spending time, and to be doing it in person.
(Manafort hearing transcript, page 68)
I am a red faced screaming alarm on this one! Why did the NYT say he didn't elaborate?!? Weissmann did elaborate, and made a very specific statement that there is evidence that the campaign chairman met with Russian intelligence!!!
Taxidermist says:
re: BSL @ 2:56 pm
What's a ten letter word for Root of All Evil?
MOGILEVICH
(7-character isn't "Assange" unless he's been talking to the FBI.)
Personal opinion: he hasn't. And won't, as long as he can stay holed up in that embassy. It allows him to pretend that he's winning.
If living in the Ecuadorian embassy for years is winning, I'd hate to see what losing looks like. Still, I think the gold standard here would be Enron's Ken Lay, who got all of the charges against him thrown out…by dropping dead before his appeals were exhausted. Yes, he totally beat the prosecutions entire case against him, but, um, it doesn't strike me as a very good way to "win".
I hope that Kenny Lay got his sentence in the next life. But we won't know.
'Yes, he totally beat the prosecutions entire case against him, but, um, it doesn't strike me as a very good way to "win".'
Except that everyone ends the same way, good or bad. It's not a loss if everyone does the same thing. Or a win.
That's the pity- it seems like there should be justice in the Universe.
Arj says:
Ultimate Pyrrhic dealie…
BroD says:
I just have this image of him in a corner of the embassy basement, rocking and giggling "I win! I win!"
FWIW, and with it and a few bucks you can get a decent coffee somewhere, but kudos to your attention to detail, amazing recall, deductive reasoning and ability to lay out your observations in a way even I can manage to follow.
I am just astounded at your skills EW.
The many commentators here are also excellent.
Christenson says:
I agree the court's redaction methods are so paper-and-ink, they are very leaky. Whatever happened to Person #1? and (redacted)???
So, you have to think in pairs, when Mr 7 has been interviewed by the FBI, and Mr 5 has not. Stone/Credico might fit, though not "other" investigation.
The WSJ reporting dates the start of the Smith operation to Labor Day 2016, but Matt Tait / pwnallthethings said that he was first contacted by Smith around the same time as "Russia, if you're listening" — July 28 — which was before Manafort officially left the campaign.
https://www.lawfareblog.com/time-i-got-recruited-collude-russians
The tenor of the conversations that Tait describes — "it made no difference to them who hacked the emails or why they did so, only that the emails be found and made public before the election." — fits somewhat with "saving the candidate." (7-char name could be also be [Royal] O'Brien in this scenario.) So, in this hypothetical, Smith reaches out to Manafort around the same time he contacts Tait, saying he has a source claiming to be in possession of hacked Clinton-server emails, and one of his associates says "yeah, this isn't bullshit."
Of course, this could be wildly off-target.
How about Barrack for the 7-letter name?
Also, it still astonishes me that, nearly two years in to the Mueller investigation, we have not heard one word about Cambridge Analytica, Brad Parscale, Jared Kushner's running of the 2016 Trump digital campaign.
Leila512 says:
Ditto–I've been raising this same issue/concern.
CaliLawyer says:
Mueller is locking down everybody he can before he gets to the principals at the very end. That will be explosive, which is why I think there will be an extensive factual record developed before family like Kushner or the politically powerful Mercer family get dragged into this, if at all. The activity that can be colored as arguably traditional political/1A activity will be held to a high bar, so right wing political activity, as sleazy as it was in 2016, might get a public shaming without any charges being filed. Still, he's been aggressive putting teeth into FARA, so we might get lucky. I'm very curious about certain media/political grifter-type figures who have been consistently parroting the Kremlin line, like Hannity, Alex Jones or Jill Stein.
Sans-Serf says:
5-letter = Trump
7-letter = Trump Jr?
I wrote this in your Pardons and Spooks post and I stand by it:
What I found interesting was on page 127 where Andres seems to confirm that the "Other DOJ Investigation" is directly related to Trump:
Well, so for example, in the No. 4, […] you see Mr. Manafort changing his story so as not to implicate either [redacted] or someone in [redacted]. I think, with respect to this issue, again, Mr. Manafort is trying to distance himself from the administration and saying he's not having contact with the administration at a time when he's under at least one indictment."
I think the first redaction I quote there is "Mr Trump" and the second is "his family."
They wouldn't be using "Mr Trump" or "Trump Jr".
obsessed says:
I'm glad they do it the way they do for snoopy reasons, but from their point of view isn't it kind of dumb to release redacted documents in monospaced fonts? If they'd released in in a normal font, Kilimnik (with all his narrow i's and l's) would have been in the running to who we know is a redacted individual with only 7 characters is his/her name. In a non-monospaced font "DJTrump" (7 characters) takes more horizontal space than "Kilimnik":
Kilimnik
DJTrump
"DJTrump" is a form that would not be used in such a document. It would either be Trump or Individual-1 I would think. That said, seems unlikely Trump is one of the two.
Marcy, thanks for the PsyGroup update. I'm guessing you have already thought of this but thought I would mention it just in case…
My gut is telling me that Zamel is linked to Florida. So, your 2/7/19 post about the FL connections may loop into this.
And that post may link into the Stone indictment post…
"Little wheels spin and spin, big wheels go around and around…" (Buffy Sainte Marie)
The campaign's denial of using PsyGroup doesn't mean much to me, since Stone officially was off the campaign by 2015 too. If PsyGroup was hired, it would almost certainly be done indirectly.
As always, I'm left wondering if Kushner told the truth to Mueller or if this is going to be instance number 397 of Kushner coming back to amend what he submitted.
The DOJ branch doing the other investigation is a puzzler. It isn't obviously Northern / Southern / etc. District as that doesn't fit. Organized [Crime] fits, as would "Organized Crime investigation", though "investigation" wouldn't need to be redacted. "Office of" fits, but those branches are mostly administrative.
Why does it not fit? Jurisdiction within district boundaries is what matters, and Trump and Cohen, as well as the campaign and transition (mostly) operated out of Manhattan. Why wouldn't SDNY be appropriate?
Because "Southern" has eight characters and the redaction at the end of one line has nine; because "District of New York" has one more character than the redaction at the start of the next line.
Maybe. Could be. I'll still bet SDNY.
I could swear that on one of the filings documents with the mystery SCOTUS appellant had redations that were less than ideal, and now that I finally started commenting here and am going back to look I can't find them.
Unlike the ones in this Twitter the names of the parties was on the left hand side, so would that be filings?
Unlike the ones below the redaction was not the whole block, and for the second line of the name, instead of redacting the whole line, they just redacted where there was text. The second line blacked out section only went about a quarter of that text columns length.
I don't know if they cleaned it up afterwards, or what but I remember looking at that trying to count it out, and then oh someone else will figure it out.
I don't have a photographic memory, and I forget a lot of things, but rarely am I wrong when I can picture the writing and I can do that with this. That skill let me ace tests, and piss off bad teachers who expected me to fail, my entire life. I would try to remember where the info I need to recal was in the textbook and that would usually help me remember.
Are there any sites that have links to all the filings, besides pacer etc?
Not these filings-
https://twitter.com/GregStohr/status/1082745053456617479
Looks like this might be the connection to "the other district" and PsyGroup that Marcy surmised. This is from a TPM story about Patten written on 2/11/19 by Josh Kovensky. So, the 5 letter name could be Zamel. And "Serhiy Lyovochkin" has 16 letters.
"Patten has a link to former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort. The Ukrainian oligarch who paid Patten the $50,000 for inaugural tickets was Serhiy Lyovochkin, who worked closely with Manafort during his time in Ukraine and who reportedly received polling data from him during the presidential campaign."

Q: Display:none not showing with display:block at breakpoint I'm sorry i know it's been asked before but i just can't figure why it doesn't work!
I have the meta tag viewport in the head
I have a display:none icon (bars) at wide viewports (i started from there) and it should appear at smaller size when the menu disappears. (menu disappearing works)
I've set it to display:block
My SCSS:
.fa-bars {
  display: none;
}
@media screen and (max-width: 600px) {
  .container {
    .fa-bars {
      display: block;
    }
  }
}

But it doesn't work i don't know why
tried to select it with just *i*, with the class,  i don't know please send help.

A: Enclose both in media queries and correct your css syntax. try this:
@media screen and (min-width:601px){
 .fa-bars{
   display: none;
  }
}
@media screen and (max-width:600px){
  .container .fa-bars{
      display: block;
  }
}

A: In your media query, this won't work:
.container{
            .fa-bars{
                display: block;
            }
        }

It should either be:
.container .fa-bars {
    display:block;
}

... if it's important that the .fa-bars is in .containers.
Otherwise this will be fine:
.fa-bars {
    display:block;
}

A: you need SCSS for nesting blocks,
trying doing it like this:
.fa-bars{
    display: none;
}
@media screen and (max-width:600px){

    .container.fa-bars{
            display: block;
    }


With most of the Fifty Shades of Grey hoopla behind her (at least for now), Dakota Johnson can finally catch her breath. But, instead of taking a break from her demanding jet-setting schedule, the actress caught a plane from LAX to New York with the best travel companion ever: her pooch, Zeppelin. The adorable pair was spotted waltzing through JFK, Zeppelin with his fancy brown leash, and his human in a simple, gray-on-gray ensemble (not quite 50 shades, but close enough) topped by a leopard-print coat. We're having a hard time deciding who looks better.
Johnson kept her travel look simple: a restrained color palette with a more playful print on top. She laced up some trusty combat boots, swung a bucket bag on her shoulder (Saint Laurent, mind you), and shielded her eyes from anticipated paparazzi with some oversized Sunday Somewhere specs. She proved her travel savvy by packing her goods in a compact suitcase, because who has time for baggage claim?
Dakota is wearing Mother sweatshirt and jeans; a Saint Laurent bag; and Sunday Somewhere sunglasses.

LSUC Rule 6.03(8) permits second opinions, but it is an exception to Rule 6.03(7) prohibiting you from approaching or communicating with a represented person except through the retained lawyer or with that lawyer's consent. Stay within the Rules.
When contacted, explore whether a second opinion is needed. Many are just frustrated that "I don't know what's happening." If communication is the issue — and often it's the only issue — encourage the client to raise his concerns with his lawyer. That may solve the problem, you can explain, without spending the time, effort, and money for a second opinion.
Do not misinform the client that "you must first tell your lawyer." There is no such requirement. The client is entitled to seek the second opinion in confidence. While you may adopt a practice, as some lawyers do, that you will not give an opinion unless the retained lawyer is informed, inform the client that this is your practice, not a requirement.
That said, encourage the client to inform the retained lawyer. To know the case, you ideally would have the retained lawyer's cooperation. The client might insist, however, on receiving the opinion in confidence. If so, respect the client's decision, but be sure to emphasize that the strength of your opinion will be limited by the history provided.
Only in a rare case will you be as informed as the retained lawyer. Insist that the client identify "the documents, the facts, and the history the second opinion will be based upon." If that cannot be done, you might wisely choose not to provide an opinion.
Emphasize that you are there to give your frank opinion on the case, not to criticize or endorse the lawyer. Ignore any venting. Keep the meeting focused.
Unless you have permission, do not discuss the case or the fact that the client contacted you with anyone, especially the retained lawyer: Rule 2.03.
If asked "how much would it cost to hire you?" explain that "this meeting is only for a second opinion, you already have a lawyer, and I not allowed to have that discussion." Rule 2.09(10) prevents you from agreeing to any retainer.
With the proper exercise of professional judgment, second opinions can and should be a healthy part of your practice. When the opportunity arises, don't hesitate.
