Positive interim results in the 1st in human study of parthenogenetically derived neural stem cells ("hpNSCs") for Parkinson's Disease were recently announced by International Stem Cell Corp. ("ISCO"). From the announcement the cells have to-date been well tolerated and no adverse side-effects from the treatment have been observed. Although the limited number of patients treated limits statistical conclusions, initial evidence suggests there may very well be an encouraging therapeutic effect to the experimental therapy and with additional positive data on the increased dosage cohorts there is reason to be optimistic for the continuation of the trial into a larger Phase 2 powered for a more representative efficacy read-out.
From the company's interim announcement:
"We are already seeing some positive efficacy results six months post-transplantation in this 12-month study. While the relatively small sample size makes it difficult to observe statistically significant differences, the interim efficacy results are very encouraging. The first dose tested was used to determine the safety and tolerability of ISC-hpNSC therapy and is below the optimal therapeutic dose established in our preclinical studies," commented Russell Kern, PhD, ISCO's Executive Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer. "We are anticipating strong results in the second cohort (receiving a higher dose of cells) in which two patients have been treated already. These clinical results build a strong foundation to start phase II clinical trials in PD and traumatic brain injury, which are some of the biggest current unmet medical needs," continued Dr. Kern.
I had asked Russell Kern ("RK"), EVP / Chief Science Officer of ISCO, a few follow-up questions to my previous interview with him on this ongoing clinical trial in Australia using a pluripotent derived cellular therapy.
Q: The main theme of peer investigator comments in the sector working on pluripotent Parkinson therapeutics it seems, is the issue of using progenitor stem cells and their safety in patients versus the mainstream approach of using differentiated neurons. Do you have a comment on this safety issue and why ISCO's approach is not to use fully differentiated neurons? Also is there any limiting IP issue with using fully differentiated parthenogenically derived neurons, if you wanted to, as there was some thought by some that you may be restricted from doing so.
RK: Progenitor stem cells, in particular neural stem cells, have been extensively tested in patients and shown to be safe in a number of neurological indications, including spinal cord injury, stroke, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, age-related macular degeneration, myelination disorders and lysosomal storage disorders1-4. StemCells Inc. tested up to 1 billion neural stem cells in children with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses disease, a fatal lysosomal storage disease1. The neural stem cells were well tolerated without test article related adverse events1. We have ample preclinical evidence showing that our neural stem cells (ISC-hpNSC) are safe and well tolerated5. We have transplanted hundreds of animals with ISC-hpNSC and shown that the cells are safe and do not cause overgrowth or tumors5.
In regards to using fully differentiated DA neurons for therapy, it is an approach that investigators in the field are not using because it takes an average of 60-90 days to get mature DA neurons that are electrophysiological active6. Fully mature DA neurons are fragile, hard to work with, and do not survive well cryopreservation or transplantation. Most of the pluripotent based Parkinson's disease (PD) therapies are transplanting DA neuron progenitors instead, which are differentiated 15-25 days from the pluripotent state. DA neuron progenitors are easier to work with and cryopreserve but if they are not sorted before transplantation, they have the risk of containing undifferentiated pluripotent stem cells. Some reports have shown the formation of overgrowth, deformations or tumors after transplantation of DA progenitors raising concerns about the feasibility of this approach7,8. Our ISC-hpNSC are cultured and expanded into master and working cell banks in medium that is not conducive for the maintenance or growth of pluripotent stem cells5. We have performed exhaustive in vitro testing to demonstrate the absence of pluripotent stem cells in our clinical grade ISC-hpNSC5.
Additionally, we have compared DA neuron progenitors and ISC-hpNSC in two animal models of PD and consistently seen better results with ISC-hpNSC, which is the main reason why we chose this approach. If DA neuron progenitors had been better, we would have chosen these cells for therapy because we do have the IP. We have a patented chemically defined differentiation protocol for deriving DA neurons from pluripotent stem cells9.
Q: Another observation of your approach was the perceived over reliance on neurotrophic factors as the mechanistic action with limited progenitor cell differentiation into dopaminergic neurons and the lack of survival/engraftment potential to maintain therapeutic value. Do you have a comment on this and the differing strategy of looking to directly repopulate a larger percentage/number of dopaminergic neurons.
RK: Results from the fetal PD trials indicate that grafts containing only 50,000–100,000 TH+ DA neurons are sufficient to provide long-term symptomatic relief in patients10-14. We have shown that approximately 10% of the transplanted ISC-hpNSC cells survive and 2% of the engrafted cells differentiate into DA neurons15. We are transplanting 30-70 million ISC-hpNSC cells in patients, which means that approximately 3-7 million cells will survive transplantation and out of which, 60,000-140,000 will become DA neurons. Therefore, we believe our therapeutic approach will provide the necessary number of DA neurons for clinical efficacy. Additionally, ISC-hpNSC provide neurotrophic support and immunomodulation that can be critical in rescuing the dying host DA neurons and treating non-motor related symptoms16,17, which cannot be achieved with a dopaminergic replacement approach18.
Q: On the topic of parthenogenetic derived cells there was some concern with the possible effective loss of heterozygosity in the ISCO cells as a result of the derivation method which may add to the safety issue, due to the potential genetic limitation to identical alleles and the association of such with cancer. Do you have a comment on this?
RK: To clarify, ISC-hpNSC is derived from a heterozygous human parthenogenetic stem cell line and does not have the risk associated with loss of heterozygosity9,19. It is true that there is inherent risk with the use homozygous human parthenogenetic stem cells20, as there is with the derivation of iPSC from older donors, with higher risk of cancer causing mutations21. That is why it is important to conduct preclinical safety studies before clinical translation.

Every morning, I creep into F's room, sit by her bed and rub her back gently to wake her up. We'd then have a conversation on what we would be doing for the day and whether she slept well. Nothing out of the ordinary, usually, but today, F got me laughing.
Me: Faith, did you sleep well?
F (rubbing her eyes): Yes, I slept well.
Me (stroking her hair): Good!
F (pulling Dumbo, one of the many stuffed toys she goes to bed with): But I think Elephant didn't sleep well because he didn't close his eyes like me.
And she gestured at Dumbo's big, unblinking eyes as she related her thoughts to me.
The things kids say…!

Drugmakers Probed on Global Bribery Allegations, WSJ Reports
U.S. federal investigators are probing major drug companies over allegations of bribes paid in countries such as Brazil and Saudi Arabia in order to boost sales and accelerate product approval, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
Officials from the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Justice Department are investigating companies such as Merck & Co., AstraZeneca Plc, Bristol-Myers Squibb & Co. and GlaxoSmithKline Plc for possible violations of the 1977 law preventing companies with stock traded in the U.S. from bribing foreign officials, the newspaper said.
SciClone Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Eli Lilly & Co both said they'd been subpoenaed, and Baxter International Inc. said it's also being probed; the investigations cover sales and operations in Brazil, China, Germany, Italy, Poland, Russia and Saudi Arabia, the WSJ added.

Gluten Free Orange- Almond Snowballs
A couple of days ago it was my Mom's 75th birthday. My sister and I flew her to New York City with my aunt and cousin to celebrate. Mom loves New York, so we did it up right and took in a couple of shows while we were there. The big challenge was trying to find places to eat gluten-free. Mom was diagnosed with Celiac disease just a couple of years ago, so she's been maneuvering this world full of gluten and trying to figure out how to eat without it, how to order in restaurants and how to enjoy food again. Here's my holiday treat for Mom: Gluten-Free Orange- Almond Snowballs
Mom is a big reason why I have a pretty large section on my site dedicated to gluten-free (or adaptable) recipes, and she's a big reason why I'll be including some gluten-free options in my cookbook too. I've learned that it's awfully helpful for gluten-free folks to find their way around if we make it easier for them by labeling, offering alternatives to ingredients, etc. Eating gluten-free doesn't mean eating icky ingredients or strange things that no one else eats. It just means eating things that don't contain gluten (a protein found in wheat, barley, rye and other things). If you're gluten-free, you can still eat a lot of normal everyday things, but with baking you have to be a bit creative since you cannot eat regular wheat-derived flour.
This recipe utilized almond flour, also known as almond meal (or finely ground almonds). The best and most economical place to find it is a Trader Joe's in the nut aisle. And yes, that photo there shows how much dough this recipe makes- just a handful of dough. The recipe makes fifteen 1-inch snowball treats. Perfect for the gluten-free person who doesn't want an overabundance of sweet treats around their house. Or perfect for the gluten-eating person to make a small batch to surprise their gluten-free friend.
The dough is rolled into heaping teaspoon-sized balls. Fifteen, to be exact.
After baking, the warm treats are rolled in powdered sugar to make "snowballs."
These are not a crunchy snowball treat. These bake up crisp on the outside, but the inside is filled with a tender, moist texture sweetly flavored of almond and orange. And best of all, Mom likes them 🙂 Happy 75th birthday Mommy!
And we had a fabulous time in New York City at Christmas Time!!! This is the stuff dreams are made of. I love NYC!!!
Yield: 15 snowballs
Prep Time: 20 min + chill time
Cook Time: 10 min
Gluten Free Orange- Almond Snowballs
If you're looking for a typical crunchy cookie recipe, this isn't it. These bake up crisp on the outside, but the inside is filled with a tender, moist texture sweetly flavored of almond and orange.
1 cup almond flour/meal (ground almonds)
1/3 cup granulated white sugar
1 large egg white, beaten
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
1 teaspoon orange extract
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1. In a small bowl, mix almond flour, sugar, egg white, orange zest and extract. Stir until combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
3. Spoon out even tablespoonfuls of dough and roll into balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet- you should be able to make 15 little balls of dough. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the balls of dough are firm and are golden underneath. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes, then give them a roll in powdered sugar.
*Almond flour/meal is most easily found by the Bob's Red Mill brand. Ask your grocery store manager if you are unable to locate it.
*Orange extract can be found at Whole Foods and other specialty markets.
*Try subbing lemon zest and lemon extract to create Lemon- Almond Snowballs instead.

Love recipes that use orange!
What a perfect recipe!! I'm going to give this one a try!! By the way your Peppermint Dream Butter Balls were a HUGE hit with Friends and family! I have to make them again!!
I don't know if my first comment went through! Your cookies look amazing and I have to give these ones a try!! By the way I made your Peppermint Dream Butter Ball Cookies and they were a huge hit with friends and family! Thank you!!
These sound great – and an alternative to truffles whilst still being gluten free.
I love these!! I may have to make them soon. I have been adapting a lot of my recipes into gluten free – I notice a lot more recipes with gluten free versions now and I think its great to have recipes that can be adapted this way. So many I know that have to eat gluten free now feel that they miss out on their favorite goodies because of the gluten – but not anymore!
These look gorgeous and very festive. being coeliac myself I love that thye are gluten free. You should try the chocolate crinkles cookies made with almonds too – they are yummy!
Enjoy the holidays with your mum
Lori, so happy to see that you developed a gluten free Christmas cookie recipe. And, I like how you gave these Almond Snowballs a citrus twist with the orange zest and extract. I, too, have a soft spot for the gluten free community. You are a terrific leader!
Sounds like both the snowballs and the NYC trip were wonderful treats for your mom!
I love this recipe! And how easy, too? I'll have to try them over the holidays!
They don't call it the "Best City In The World" for nothing ;^) (OK that might be IMHO, but I just love going into the City)…glad you had a wonderful time, just to see the tree is a treat, isn't it!!
yum! i'm intrigued by the orange and almond combo 🙂
These are my favorite holiday cookie. So glad to see a GF version.
Lori, what a brilliant idea! They look so tender on the inside.
These look beautiful and so gooey inside. I love it, and even better that it is gluten free. My SIL has a gluten allergy too, so these would be really perfect for her! 🙂
I'll be trying these with hazelnut flour/meal…..and it's a REALLY good thing it's a small batch!!!
What a fun birthday with your Mom. These cookies are great for Christmas, and so nice to be able to share something delicious that is also gluten free!
I tried these, and they turned out wonderful. The flavor was amazing. The texture was delicate and tender. Thanks so much for another keeper. I too would like to try with other types of nuts. I think it would adapt nicely.
I am in need of gluten free treats! I have so many friends who cannot eat gluten, and these actually look tasty. Thank you for this recipe!
thank you thank you thank you for writing GF recipes ! i have been following your blog for a while and found out i had celiac this past may. its so nice that a "regular" food blogger is writing GF recipes because it means you are probably making "good" ones ! you can easily compare to gluten containing food and let us know how close your GF version is to "regular" baked goods. i truly appreciate it. thank you sooooooooooooo much.
These look so good! I have Celiac and am always looking for tasty treats, especially ones with such good flavor combos. They would be the perfect addition to a meal for a friend in need or a new mom with a gluten allergy. Thanks for sharing!
I just made these for the holidays. I doubled the recipe thank goodness because they are incredible. I have never baked with almond meal before and I was pleasantly surprised by the lightness of these cookies.The hint of citrus is so refreshing. I am going to go hide them now from my husband and son before they all disappear. Thanks Lori. Happy Holidays!!
A GF recipe without tons of crazy ingredients! Thank you!
Love this recipe very tasty but not to be had too often.
I made these cookies the other day and they were absolutely delish. Fast forward to last night– I prepped the batter for today's holiday party, put it in the fridge, and today they're an ooey gooey mess. won't roll at all. I tried adding a bit more almond meal and sugar, but no luck. any suggestions?
These are very very good! 😀 😀 Your kitchen will smell great from the orange zest too! They're also very easy to make. I like that it only requires one bowl. The hardest part about them is beating the egg white (which isn't that hard anyway). One thing though, I didn't get 15 balls. I only got 13. Granted, I could have made some of them smaller, but then I think they would be too small. Next time I'll just aim for 12. Also, once they're out of the oven, DON'T try to form them back into a ball, they will break. Maybe this was a rookie mistake but I thought it was worth mentioning. No harm done, I just ate that one right away. 😛

RUFC Head Scratching Time
Where do we start? Well, let me say straight away. I am a fan. I want to see this club do well and succeed. I do get upset when we appear to be under achieving. Over the past couple of games I`ve been having texts from friends, unhappy with the way we`re playing. We keep getting told, initially at the start of the season, that we are good enough to go up automatically and now we can still make the play offs. I`ve not believed that for a few weeks and, by the look of Tuesday nights gate a few more appear to be thinking the same.
It would be great to see an upturn in form and style of play. Can we make that happen with 5 loan players in the team and 19, I believe, through the season. Sobering isn`t it! And then the player that got the vital "man of the match" and impressed when he came on on Saturday has hardly played all season!
I find it hard to criticise the chairman, who seems to have backed his management team with what they`ve asked for. Yet we still seem to have underachieved. We`re currently lower than last years final league position and little optimism of improving on that. Ronnie Moore came here the first time and took time to improve and get promotion. But when he came, we were almost rock bottom and could only go up and please the support. When he came back, we had a side that was doing well, almost a given for promotion. Andy Scott inherited a team that finished 9th. Not much tweaking, one would think, to take it that extra step. Months later, players in and out, and you ask, are we there? Clearly not!
We can`t all be champions all the time and I`m certainly not advocating a quick turn over of manager but I`ll ask the questions and tell me what you think. Is the game plan clear? Is it achievable with the current players, after all if the players were premier league quality, that`s where they`d be? As supporters, would you settle, this season, for mid table with improved performances? Will you be staying away if performances don`t improve?

To Max, my co-pilot
Dad's old car sustains a tight, unspoken bond
Updated 8:13 am, Sunday, June 16, 2013
The Maxmobile, my deceased father's legacy, is on life support at a local auto repair shop. I feel guilty. I should have paid attention to that recurring rattling and the water puddling on the ground under the front end.
Now the engine's kaput, and the cost to install a replacement is sky-high. Somewhere in the great beyond, my dad, Max, is asking, How could you let this happen?
Surely he's shaking his dear bald head and pursing his lips like he did when taking me to get my learner's permit so many moons ago.
Though I was Max's girl in many ways — we shared a love for things as varied as math tricks and Mallomar cookies — I never inherited my father's affinity for automobiles.
My father owned six cars in his lifetime. He treasured them all, washing and waxing them every Saturday, poring over the owners' manuals and schmoozing with mechanics, enjoying automotive camaraderie.
For me, in my younger days, a car was always a means to an end, good for getaways, whether tooling around to Queens pizza and falafel joints with my high school friends on a Saturday night, taking off for Jones Beach on summer Sundays or driving up the Thruway to college in Albany.
Yes, I've kept a low car profile, beginning with the secondhand sky-blue Duster I bought as a young reporter and later, the new red Citation, both lemons.
The pricey Volvo wagon I singled out for safety when I was pregnant with my first baby resembled a little yellow school bus. The ultimate uncoolmobile was my no-frills Saturn — without power windows or locks.
I drove that Saturn for 11 years, down to its rapidly deteriorating tires, until I traded it for a bathroom repair and paint job from Mike, my handyman. A week later, my mother called and offered me my father's 1999 Toyota Camry. The car had been sitting in the lot behind my parents' Bayside apartment ever since he died. For three months, it was an immovable fixture in the third parking space next to the playground.
Immediately, I hopped on a southbound bus to pick it up. Amazingly, I discovered that in eight years, my father had racked up only 6,600 miles on his car — barely more than 800 miles a year.
Admittedly, he never traveled far, but my father cherished that automobile. I think he may have felt about it the way he felt about me once I hit my teenage years — he just loved knowing it was there.
Despite spending less and less time together, my dad and I had an unspoken, tight bond. He wasn't the demonstrative type, but his pride and love were obvious. Still, like many fathers of teens, he was loath to lend me his wheels after I got my license. He grumbled about wasting his 40-cents-a-gallon gas. But I always persisted and he nearly always relented, a car de deux that lasted throughout my visits home during my college years. After graduation, I got my first full-time job, in Troy, and he helped me find my used Duster.
My father had many interests over his long life, including the New York Giants, pinochle, stoopball, handball, "The Honeymooners," delicatessens and Borsch Belt comedians.
But his joy for his cars reigned supreme. For a man who lived simply with few possessions, a mild-mannered accountant who worked for New York state his entire life and rarely drove beyond it, he was passionate, protective and possessive around his car.
Whenever he visited me at my home upstate, the first thing he did was haul out the garden hose, a big yellow sponge and a bucket of soapy water. Out there on my driveway, washing and waxing, he was a happy man.
And now, six years later, the Camry — his last vehicle and my inheritance — awaits a new motor like a transplant patient anticipating a new heart. It has journeyed more than 80,000 miles without Max.
Yes, scrapes and scuffs abound. However, this old reliable tan sedan, offered exactly when I needed it most, continues to give a kind of fatherly protection that feels good at any age.
Thanks, Dad.

Michael Reardon on JBMF (V5)
The sun was up early and so were we to get a jump on the day. JBMF (John Bachar Memorial Foundation) is a Joshua Tree classic, that I suppose is rated V5, but a J-Tree V5! It was the first of a handful of fun morning sends (this shot was at 7:00 am). It was made even more fun by the catcalls from friends checking out the "chick" and the lack of a crashpad which redefines the word "commitment" for the final dyno to the top!

A figure skater? Sure. It'd make all those cold winter mornings at the Ohio State University ice rink worth it. A super model like Brooke Shields? Dreamt about it since I was five. But since I only made it to five feet tall, that dream poofed too. Over the years I considered numerous careers: interior design, nursing, teaching, social work and law. But Rock Star? Never.
Yet what did I become this past weekend? Right. A Rock Star.
Okay okay, a Benefit Cosmetics Rock Star. If you don't believe me, jet to San Francisco and ask Ari. Or down to Charlotte and ask Cindi, my Superstar BeneTrainer. She's the one who took me from Benebabe (a girl totally addicted to Benefit cosmetics) to Benefit Make Up Artist.
I rocked the house. Er, well, it was the Southern Living Women's Show.
I owe it to my strategic training diet of chocolate Poptarts, chocolate covered raisins and (chocolate coated) York Peppermint Patties that gave me that extra edge over the other freelance makeup artists.
Or maybe it was because when I had a gal in my chair, I could revert to whomever they needed me to be. You want the finger waggin', "I'm tellin' you, GIRLFRIEND!" I was, like, all over that! Then again, maybe it was seeing each girl and woman as the incredible female she was, and not just a sale.
You know, like a hairdresser. You sit in the chair, she snaps your smock and you spill your life story:
The same makeup routine for 30…no, make that 35, years.
The new boyfriend.
The stem cell replacement therapy you had last year.
The cancer survivors.
"Can you cover this scar on my neck? It's been operated on twice this year and I hate it."
The woman covering her gorgeous face behind a ½-inch of cakey foundation and harsh eyebrows. Oh, and she has two autoimmune diseases that flush her cheeks beautifully. Sans makeup.
The April Bride and Mother of the Bride.
The third-shift poultry plant worker from a small town 2 hours away sitting next to the woman with enough diamonds on one hand alone to fund an entire Third World country.
It gave me great joy to see a woman leave my chair, not just looking fresher than when she sat down, but happier. To have her mom or daughter or best friend turn and around and mouth, "Thank You." To get a hug of gratitude or hear, "I fee like I've known you all my life."
And beyond the women in my chair? My incredible coworkers. We begged, borrowed and "stole" makeup, brushes, and breath mints from each other. Cat fights? Not a one. Sharing encouragement, contact info and camaraderie? You bet.
Dancing? Laughing? Hugging? Singing? Whooping it up? Constantly.
My four days as a Rock Star? A blast. But I'm going back to my Bus Stop Mommies…. I need a nap.

2 [Status Conference]
3 [Open Session]
4 Upon commencing at 2.31 p.m.
5 [The accused entered court]
6 JUDGE AGIUS: Yes. Madam Registrar, could you call the case,
7 please.
8 THE REGISTRAR: Good afternoon, Your Honour, this is Case
9 Number IT-94-2-PT, the Prosecutor versus Dragan Nikolic.
10 JUDGE AGIUS: Yes. Mr. Nikolic, good afternoon to you. Are you
11 hearing in a language that you can understand?
12 THE INTERPRETER: Microphone, please, for the accused.
13 JUDGE AGIUS: Appearances for the Prosecution.
14 MR. YAPA: Good afternoon, Your Honour. Upawansa Yapa appearing
15 for the Prosecution with Ms. Patricia Sellers and Mr. David Hackney. Our
16 case manager is Ms. Diana Boles.
17 JUDGE AGIUS: Yes, good afternoon.
18 Appearances for Mr. Nikolic.
19 MR. MORRISON: Good afternoon, Your Honour. Howard Morrison, lead
20 counsel for Mr. Nikolic, together with Ms. Tanja Radosavljevic as
21 co-counsel.
22 JUDGE AGIUS: I thank you, and good afternoon to you, too.
23 So this Status Conference has been convened in accordance and as
24 required by the regulations, by the Rules of this Tribunal, which
25 precisely require that we hold a Status Conference every 120 days to take
Page 96
1 stock of the situation, and also to ensure the expeditious preparation and
2 adequate preparation for the trial. In addition, also it gives the
3 accused an opportunity to raise any issues that may be appropriate in
4 relation to his physical, mental condition.
5 The agenda of today's Status Conference is relatively a short one,
6 and I propose to start first with pending motions, first of which is a
7 motion filed by the Prosecution last month, in October. And it is
8 Prosecution's Motion for Protective Measures and for a Submission of
9 Corrigendum to Rule 65 ter (E) (i), (ii), and (iii). I think it's
10 appropriate that we take these in order. And I should like to deal first
11 with the motion for the protective measures.
12 There seems to me to be two categories of persons, witnesses, for
13 whom the Prosecution is seeking protective measures. One category
14 includes witnesses that the Prosecution has had an opportunity to talk to
15 already. And it seems that on the basis and more or less simply on the
16 basis of the request or desire to have, to benefit, from some kind of
17 protective measures, protective measures are being sought. And then there
18 is a second category of witnesses who, according to what emerges from the
19 motion itself, Prosecution has not had yet an opportunity to talk to. But
20 as I understand it, by way of a precaution, certain protective measures
21 are being sought.
22 I don't know, Mr. Morrison, if you have anything to say about this
23 before I proceed any further.
24 MR. MORRISON: Thank you, Your Honour. The Defence position is
25 really quite straightforward as far as this motion is concerned. We raise
Page 97
1 no objection to the matters requested by the OTP insofar as it relates to
2 these proceedings. What I would like to make plain is that we do not at
3 the moment concede the jurisprudence which is argued, neither do we deny
4 it. We take a neutral view on the basis that we may at some point in the
5 future, should there be another motion concerning other witnesses, want to
6 consider the position as far as those witnesses are concerned. Therefore,
7 we don't want to bind ourselves by making any jurisprudential or legal
8 concessions at this stage. But for the purposes of this motion and for
9 the purposes which it's required at this stage, we don't object nor do we
10 intend to file a motion unless ordered to do so, simply to save time.
11 JUDGE AGIUS: Yes, but still the approach that this Trial Chamber
12 has presided -- Pre-Trial Chamber has presided at the moment. The
13 approach it takes is that a simple filing of a motion for protective
14 measures, even if not opposed, does not necessarily entail an automatic
15 rubber stamping Yes by the Chamber, by the pre-trial Judge who, as I see
16 it, under the Rules has a duty to strike a balance between the interests
17 to protect victims and witnesses on one side, and also the rights of the
18 accused on the other.
19 Now, as it is, I am more concerned with the second category of
20 witnesses that the Prosecution is seeking protective measures for, namely,
21 witnesses that have not yet been contacted for one reason or another. And
22 I am not disputing or contesting or arguing about whatever reasons the
23 Prosecution might have had in not being able or not having contacted these
24 individuals.
25 You may sit down, Mr. Morrison.
Page 98
1 But I think that it is only fit and proper that before the -- we
2 proceed with a decision, we have more information, an update on the
3 situation, on the part of the Prosecution. In other words, we need to be
4 informed whether -- what attempts have been made so far to approach these
5 persons; secondly, what are the reasons -- whether they are asking for
6 protective measures secondly; and thirdly, what are the reasons on the
7 basis of which you are asking for protective measures. In other words,
8 what appears to be until now as a precautionary measure that you are
9 seeking, and I fully understand that you are doing this in a very
10 responsible way, at the same time, I'm telling you that it is not my
11 intention to proceed with granting any provisional protective measures
12 until I am satisfied that they ought to be in place. And for the time
13 being, however precautionary the approach you are taking may well be, I
14 would rather have more information before I proceed any further.
15 The second thing that I meant to tell you, but now more or less I
16 will modify my approach, considering that there is no opposition or no
17 contest on the part of the Defence, is with regard to the first category.
18 For the future, make it a point to provide more details as a ground for
19 your request for protective measures to be put in place. As I see it, I
20 am not completely satisfied that you have put down what I would consider
21 to be clear, sufficient reasons for putting into place these protective
22 measures. So I reserve the position of this Chamber on this matter,
23 taking into consideration, however, the non-opposition forthcoming from
24 the Defence.
25 Yes, Mr. Morrison.
Page 99
1 MR. MORRISON: Your Honour, to make the position absolutely plain,
2 of course, we may ourselves find ourselves in a position where we want to
3 seek protective measures for witnesses, which is the reason why we don't
4 object to the first category. The reason we don't object to the second
5 category is because at the moment we don't know what those witnesses say
6 or might say. It is only when we have some indication of what they might
7 say that we would come back to the Trial Chamber, which is why we reserve
8 the position in the way that we have done without taking, as it were, a
9 preemptive opposition without knowing what we are opposing.
10 JUDGE AGIUS: Yes. I thank you. The third thing I wanted to make
11 clear is that it seems to me that your motion also contemplates the
12 nondisclosure to the Defence of the names of some of these witnesses. If
13 that is the case, and I would invite you to go through your motion again,
14 to see if this is the case, if that is the case, the -- you will certainly
15 be required to provide more details. But as it is, it is not quite clear
16 to me whether you are also seeking this. According to my legal staff, it
17 seems that the possibility that you are seeking such a protective measure
18 is included. If it's not included, perhaps you could make a statement to
19 that effect here now.
20 MR. YAPA: I thank Your Honour. I take this opportunity to agree
21 with Your Honour's observations on the granting of protective measures,
22 the principles that apply. We fully understand. We made this
23 application, the motion, out of an abundance of caution in respect of
24 certain witnesses. May I say straight away in respect of the question
25 that Your Honour posed to me just now that we have, in respect of the
Page 100
1 witnesses, the names of witnesses, disclosed to the Defence all the names
2 of the witnesses. And we would not be seeking permission not to disclose.
3 Disclosure has been made. And in respect of certain portions of the
4 motion, the previous filings, we have indicated that we would be moving
5 for pseudonyms in respect of certain witnesses.
6 JUDGE AGIUS: All right. Thank you. And on the other hand, I
7 take it that if my reading of the documents that were filed during the 65
8 ter (E) meetings, I take it that all the names of the witnesses you intend
9 to produce until now have been disclosed to the Defence. Is that correct,
10 Mr. Morrison?
11 MR. MORRISON: Yes. Yes, I mean, unless there's something we
12 haven't been told, and I doubt that very much in this particular case. As
13 far as we know, all the witnesses' names have been disclosed. But that's
14 a matter which is of common knowledge.
15 JUDGE AGIUS: Okay. So I think we can move to the -- is there
16 anything else you would like to raise in regard to this pending motion?
17 Yes.
18 MR. YAPA: With Your Honour's permission, with respect, with
19 respect to the granting of the motion where we have asked for protective
20 measures, the position as I understand now is that they will be granted
21 only after we furnish further information. Is that the position?
22 JUDGE AGIUS: There are two categories, as I tried to explain. I
23 don't foresee or envisage any particular difficulties with regard to the
24 first category, especially having heard the submissions of both parties.
25 With regard to the second category, I would like to know first and
Page 101
1 foremost whether since the filing of the motion you have succeeded in
2 approaching these witnesses. That's number one.
3 Secondly, whether they seek protective measures, because obviously
4 if they do not seek protective measures, there is no point in maintaining
5 your position and asking for precautionary protective measures. If they
6 seek protective measures, and you know that because you have had a meeting
7 or a contact with these witnesses, then obviously you are asking for
8 protective measures, they will not be any longer precautionary protective
9 measures, but they will be full protective measures for all intents and
10 purposes of law. And therefore, the reasons that you brought forward
11 until now are, for all intents and purposes, worthless, because I would
12 require a specific ad hoc reasons justifying your claim for protective
13 measures to be put in place. I think -- have I made myself clear?
14 MR. YAPA: Yes.
15 JUDGE AGIUS: As far as the first category now, I don't think
16 there should be any problems at all. All right?
17 MR. YAPA: Yes. It is quite clear to us. In respect of the
18 second category, we are in the process of contacting them. As Your Honour
19 was pleased to say, some of them may not require, but we are not in a
20 position to say so now. But if that is the case, we would not be moving
21 for protective measures in respect of those witnesses. But if the others,
22 there are only very few do ask for, we will give the information to the
23 Court, to satisfy Your Honour that the protective measures are indeed
24 needed.
25 JUDGE AGIUS: Okay.
Page 102
12 Blank page inserted to ensure pagination corresponds between the French and
13 English transcripts.
Page 103
1 There's a final point that I would like to make actually now that
2 you are not making it yourselves. Attached to your motion, Mr. Yapa, you
3 also submitted a draft decision in which, inter alia, you are asking that
4 the Nikolic Defence shall not disclose to the media any confidential or
5 non-public materials provided by the Prosecutor.
6 MR. YAPA: In the draft order that we have --
7 JUDGE AGIUS: Yes, this is in the draft order that you prepared.
8 MR. YAPA: We prepared the draft order in line with the previous
9 orders that were made by the Chamber. There were two orders that were
10 made. It was in accordance with those orders that these draft orders were
11 prepared, Your Honour.
12 JUDGE AGIUS: Yes, Mr. Morrison. Does that strike you as normal
13 and acceptable to you?
14 MR. MORRISON: Make it plain that the --
15 JUDGE AGIUS: Because you have been given all the names already of
16 the witnesses to start with.
17 MR. MORRISON: Yes. The names that we haven't got from the
18 context of the statements, those are people that - I can say it without
19 fear of embarrassment - we could readily guess who they were simply from
20 the context and the place and the times of the statements. So it's no
21 mystery to the Defence.
22 As far as the nondisclosure is concerned, it would not be our
23 intention in any event to disclose to the public any of the material
24 that's set out in the draft motion. So we don't take any issue with it.
25 JUDGE AGIUS: There is a draft order 9, save where is directly and
Page 104
1 specifically necessary for the preparation, presentation of this case, the
2 Nikolic Defence shall not disclose to the public the names, identifying
3 information, or whereabouts of any witness or potential witness identified
4 to them by the Prosecutor.
5 MR. MORRISON: To do otherwise could amount to a contempt of Court
6 whether there was an order or not, and we would be very wary of committing
7 such an act.
8 JUDGE AGIUS: Anyway, I'll go through this and if it's the case of
9 coming back to you, Mr. Yapa, to be more precise as to what precautionary
10 measures you are seeking, we will do that. All right?
11 MR. YAPA: Yes.
12 JUDGE AGIUS: Thank you.
13 There is -- then there was - this shouldn't be a problem -
14 submission for a corrigendum to Rule 65 ter (E). I don't think there is
15 anything that needs to be said about this.
16 MR. YAPA: Nothing further to be added.
17 JUDGE AGIUS: Yes, exactly. Is there anything that you would like
18 to state, Mr. Morrison, with regard to the submission of the prosecution
19 for a corrigendum to Rule 65 ter (E)? I don't think it's the case of
20 anything that needs to be said, but anyway.
21 Shall we proceed to the next point? Issues relating to
22 disclosure. This is very important, as you certainly know. And I propose
23 to take the matter up from where we left it, the last Status Conference
24 that we had, which was in turn a follow-up on the 65 ter meeting of July
25 of this year. I will try and represent to you the five points that -- or
Page 105
1 four points that were made then. All I'm interested in is to be -- to
2 have a confirmation from you as to what the current situation is.
3 In July, I was informed that the Prosecution had nearly completed
4 its obligation under Rule 66. This was more or less confirmed in the
5 Status Conference of July 2002. My question to the Prosecution is whether
6 now, a few months later, the obligations assumed under Rule 66 have been
7 completed.
8 MR. YAPA: The position is as it was disclosed earlier at the
9 status conference: We have made all the disclosures that are necessary in
10 terms of 66. There is one more statement where we have to provide the
11 translation. That will be done in the course of maybe the coming two or
12 three days. So far as Rule 66 is concerned, I could inform Your Honour
13 that the disclosure is -- barring that disclosure that has to be made, is
14 complete.
15 JUDGE AGIUS: Thank you. Would you agree to that, Mr. Morrison?
16 MR. MORRISON: Yes.
17 JUDGE AGIUS: At the time also, the Prosecution had informed the
18 Trial Chamber that two more statements -- it may not be easy for you to
19 remember now, but two more statements under Rule 66(ii) would soon be
20 disclosed to the Defence. I would imagine that if I use the word "soon,"
21 that has been done by now.
22 MR. YAPA: Yes.
23 JUDGE AGIUS: Am I correct in assuming that?
24 MR. YAPA: It has been done.
25 One other matter, if I may refer to, Your Honour: In the course
Page 106
1 of contacting some of the witnesses, we came into possession, not that
2 many but certain supplementary information, so we are under a duty to
3 disclose those to the Defence. That we will be doing, again, in the next
4 two or three days' time.
5 JUDGE AGIUS: Thank you. I saw you nodding, Mr. Morrison. So...
6 MR. MORRISON: This all proceeds upon the basis of having, as it
7 were, confidence in one's opponents, which I have.
8 JUDGE AGIUS: I appreciate that, thank you.
9 And then the Chamber had been informed by the Prosecution at the
10 time, that's in July, that five statements then were still in the process
11 of translation, and once that's ready, it would be made available to the
12 Defence. My question to you is whether the translation has been
13 concluded, and following that, whether these five documents were indeed
14 disclosed to the Defence.
15 MR. YAPA: Yes, Your Honour. These relate more to Rule 68, if I
16 may...
17 JUDGE AGIUS: Rule 68 came after. These were -- I take it that
18 these were more in the line of Rule 66. In other words, they couldn't be
19 disclosed until that time because they had not yet been translated. These
20 were five documents. I do not have the details of these five documents,
21 obviously, but I just wanted to know whether they have been disclosed,
22 whether they have been translated and disclosed. If Mr. Morrison's memory
23 is of any help in this regard?
24 MR. MORRISON: We've had both Rule 66 and Rule 68 material
25 disclosed to us. The last Rule 68 disclosure that I recall was weeks ago.
Page 107
1 If there has been anything since then, or if there was intended to be any
2 further materials in the intervening period of about two months, then I
3 certainly haven't seen it. So if it's pending or if it's thought that it
4 has been disclosed, that's a matter which ought to be cleared up.
5 JUDGE AGIUS: All right. So we can actually deal now straight
6 away, because we have touched on the subject of the application of Rule
7 68. I take it that more or less the two parties are in agreement that
8 this -- the obligation of the Prosecution under this Rule is being adhered
9 to, and that there may be some further need for future disclosure, which I
10 have reason to believe that the Prosecution will take care of.
11 MR. YAPA: Yes, Your Honour. We have been -- the Prosecution on
12 our part studiously taking steps to disclose and we are disclosing. In
13 fact, today also we have certain documents, not that many, but we will be
14 handing them over to the Defence today. But we will continue to keep to
15 the obligation under Rule 68. So there may be certain other documents
16 that we have to disclose.
17 JUDGE AGIUS: Thank you. Is there anything that either of you
18 would like to raise with regard to the matter of disclosure?
19 MR. MORRISON: No. I appreciate the question of disclosure is a
20 continuing obligation on the part of the Prosecution, and plainly all I
21 would ask is that material is disclosed as soon as possible. I appreciate
22 that there is an inevitable delay in material coming to the hands of the
23 Prosecution, it being analysed, and if necessary, interpreted, but to
24 date, I am satisfied that material has reached us in a timely fashion and
25 I have no reason to believe it won't in the future.
Page 108
1 JUDGE AGIUS: Thank you.
2 Next point on the agenda that I intend to touch upon is agreed
3 facts. Now, I have gone through, before coming for this Status
4 Conference, I've gone through the document which the Prosecution filed on
5 the 3rd of October - quite detailed, I must say - namely, its pre-trial
6 brief containing the facts admitted, undisputed, and contested, between
7 the parties. But on the 23rd of July of this year, following the
8 agreement that you had reached amongst yourself during the 65 ter meeting,
9 you promised that you would provide this Chamber with a number of agreed
10 facts which would, of course, not include the core issues which would be
11 -- which would need to be proved in this trial. Do I take it that the
12 document that you filed on the 3rd of October crystallises the position,
13 or is it just your version of what is being agreed and contested?
14 MR. YAPA: Yes. May I, Your Honour, explain as to the process
15 that we undertook. We stipulated to -- we agreed -- the Prosecution
16 decided on certain stipulated facts, and then we presented them to my
17 learned friend. And he responded. We had a meeting, and he responded.
18 And those responses were included in the document that we filed with the
19 pre-trial brief. So in that document, particular document, we have the
20 agreed facts, the disputed facts are in a numerical form indicated.
21 JUDGE AGIUS: So Mr. Morrison, in other words, I take it you are
22 familiar with this document.
23 MR. MORRISON: Very, yes.
24 JUDGE AGIUS: Would you agree to everything that is stated here as
25 being either contested or agreed to by yourself?
Page 109
1 MR. MORRISON: That's correct. The matters which are contested
2 are plainly set out and it's no surprise that what is in fact contested is
3 the core of the indictment. There are peripheral matters which are not
4 contested, and some rather less than peripheral matters which are not
5 contested. There are also some matters which are agreed but in a rather
6 different format than the way they were first put to us by the
7 Prosecution. I think we've reached the position where we have now agreed
8 all that we can without, as it were, prejudicing those issues which must
9 be contested.
10 JUDGE AGIUS: Are there any other facts that you would be agreeing
11 to, apart from what has been -- because this may not be exhaustive.
12 MR. MORRISON: It may not be. And the way that I've worked so far
13 is to wait until we are approached by the Prosecution to see -- I do not
14 know and cannot guess all of the material facts they wish to rely upon at
15 trial save and except, of course, those which are evident from the
16 pre-trial brief. We are open and remain open to the possibility of
17 agreeing facts, if they can be agreed without prejudice to my client's
18 interest.
19 JUDGE AGIUS: And can you undertake to do this before the trial
20 starts?
21 MR. MORRISON: I can only respond to those matters which are put
22 to us by the OTP. I will undertake that if matters are put to us by the
23 OTP, to respond to them as soon as practicable, as soon as possible.
24 JUDGE AGIUS: Are there any other facts that you would like to put
25 to the Defence by way of possible agreed facts, or do you think that you
Page 110
12 Blank page inserted to ensure pagination corresponds between the French and
13 English transcripts.
Page 111
1 can stay with what you have here and leave it at that?
2 MR. YAPA: I am very thankful to my learned friend for the
3 observation that he made that, as far as possible on the suggestions that
4 we made, he looked into them and then he made his observations. And we
5 recorded his observations verbatim on the document that we filed. But
6 since he is prepared to consider further on the basis of any suggestions
7 that we make, we will look into further and make any suggestions to him to
8 see whether we can come to agreement on any other facts.
9 JUDGE AGIUS: All right. So we can leave it at that. And you'll
10 do that if you come to that conclusion.
11 I don't think there's any point in asking you whether you have
12 anything further to say on this point because you've obviously said what
13 you had to say.
14 Which brings me to perhaps the most important part of this Status
15 Conference agenda of today: Trial date and timetable. You will recall
16 that when you met at the 65 ter meeting way back in July, and when we met
17 the day after, the Status Conference, the idea was hopefully then that the
18 trial would start on the 18th of November. It's obvious to everybody now
19 that it will not be possible for the trial to start on the 18th of
20 November also because there is no Trial Chamber that is available that
21 could start this trial, certainly not until at least one of the ongoing
22 trials comes to an end.
23 I had a long meeting before this Status Conference to see what the
24 possibilities are, and what I can say is that this case is pretty high up
25 in the list of -- order of priorities that the Tribunal has in place for
Page 112
1 hearing and determination. In other words, it will be, if not the first,
2 certainly amongst the first trials to start as soon as practicable, and as
3 soon as practicable means as soon as there is a Trial Chamber that can
4 take over and start the trial. I do not envisage this to take a long
5 time, and I'm doing my best to ensure that it doesn't take a long time
6 considering, in particular, the length of the detention of the accused so
7 far, which I do not have an intention of prolonging unduly.
8 So my words to you in this regard is that this is being taken care
9 of, and hopefully this trial will commence as soon as there is a Trial
10 Chamber that can be seized of it. Are there any comments or matters that
11 you would like to raise on this matter? Mr. Morrison.
12 MR. MORRISON: I think what I'm about to say is eminently
13 predictable. Is there any indication when that might be in terms of
14 calendar date?
15 JUDGE AGIUS: Well, as there are two cases or three cases pretty
16 much cooked already, or nearing completion, we are not exactly quite sure
17 which one of two of them in particular will come to an end. But we're
18 probably talking of the first two or three months of 2003.
19 MR. MORRISON: So if we were to prepare ourselves for a trial
20 starting in, say, March of 2003.
21 JUDGE AGIUS: I don't envisage it's going to take -- I don't
22 envisage it's going to be after spring. I don't envisage. I would say
23 just before spring or early spring. That's what the --
24 MR. MORRISON: My problem, with great respect, I'm not sure when
25 spring starts in Malta.
Page 113
1 JUDGE AGIUS: Spring in Malta is roughly ten months a year.
2 MR. MORRISON: That's what rather worried me, I have to say.
3 JUDGE AGIUS: But we did have floods yesterday. So the idea is --
4 I have been given an indication that we're probably talking around about
5 March.
6 MR. MORRISON: I'm much obliged.
7 JUDGE AGIUS: And I have also shown my concern that if it's beyond
8 then, that month, I will start to become seriously concerned about keeping
9 your client any further in detention.
10 MR. MORRISON: Also obliged for that indication, thank you.
11 JUDGE AGIUS: Mr. Yapa.
12 MR. YAPA: Your Honour, it is just one of the submissions that I
13 have to make: Because the November 18th trial date, the Prosecution took
14 steps to get ready for trial, and then we were more or less ready for
15 trial by that time. Our one concern is to keep the witnesses informed
16 because there are witnesses not in the area where the incidents took place
17 now, they are distributed all over, so there is a duty on us to keep the
18 witnesses informed as to when it is likely for the trial to commence and
19 keep them ready for the trial. That's one observation that I have to
20 make.
21 JUDGE AGIUS: Yes. What I -- the message I wanted to convey is
22 that there are two cases in particular, and this is one of them, that are
23 receiving the utmost attention by the Tribunal - not just by me but by the
24 Tribunal - and they have been placed really high up in the order of
25 priorities. This is one of them.
Page 114
1 Incidentally, may I remind the -- Mr. Morrison of the decision of
2 this Chamber following your motion for -- motion to vary time limits
3 pursuant to Rule 127. You recall that we had extended the time limit for
4 the filing of your pre-trial brief until the 29th of November. Do I take
5 it that we can reasonably expect the pre-trial brief to be filed by that
6 date?
7 MR. MORRISON: The pre-trial brief will be filed by the 29th of
8 November. The only caveat I would have is if there's going to be further
9 material disclosed beyond that, plainly it may be necessary to add an
10 addendum to the pre-trial brief as and when any further material becomes
11 pertinent. But the pre-trial brief as an original document will be filed
12 on or before the 29th of November.
13 Whilst I'm on my feet, the "male captus" motion where the
14 judgement was received on the 9th of October, I have today filed a notice
15 of appeal under Rule 108 dealing with that, the appellate position as far
16 as that motion is concerned. Looking at the time scale, there is a
17 theoretical 90 days in which to file the brief from now. My intention is
18 to file any appellate brief well before that 90-day period expires so that
19 we can reasonably predict and expect that any response from the
20 Prosecution can be received and the matter can go to the Appeals Chamber
21 before spring, which, in England, by and large starts on the 1st of June
22 and ends on about the 5th.
23 JUDGE AGIUS: I'll certainly not question your decision to file
24 the appeal under Rule 108 because more or less that is your decision, not
25 mine. And I do not intend to question it or discuss it. But may I ask
Page 115
1 you if you have looked at... Yes. Have you looked at Rule 72, which
2 deals with preliminary motions, including motions challenging
3 jurisdictions and the right of appeal granted --
4 MR. MORRISON: Yes.
5 JUDGE AGIUS: -- by one of the subrules, one of the paragraphs of
6 that rule in cases of motions challenging jurisdiction? You have.
7 MR. MORRISON: This was a matter that was raised a long time ago
8 before His Honour Judge Hunt. And it was certainly indicated that this
9 was a matter of such fundamental importance that while there was no
10 judicial determination, that the strong indication was that this was a
11 matter which ought to be subject to appellate consideration if either
12 party wished it to be. That was the indication given at that stage. I
13 haven't got the transcript in front of me.
14 JUDGE AGIUS: Anyway, I will not deal with this matter any further
15 because of obvious reasons. But I just wanted to bring to your attention
16 Rule 72 just in case you had not gone into it.
17 MR. MORRISON: It's a matter which I've given consideration.
18 JUDGE AGIUS: Yes. And the decision to base your appeal on Rule
19 108 was a considered option.
20 MR. MORRISON: Only because of the indications which had been
21 given before, it was.
22 JUDGE AGIUS: All right. Because it may well be there will be no
23 appeal.
24 MR. MORRISON: Yes.
25 JUDGE AGIUS: If Rule 72 applies, that implies a time limit of 15
Page 116
1 days, plus the seven days for certification, and if that is the rule that
2 was applicable, then obviously there would be legal consequences.
3 MR. MORRISON: I'm obliged for Your Honour's indication.
4 JUDGE AGIUS: Okay.
5 So with this caveat, in case there is an appeal, and of course
6 pending the outcome of such an appeal, if and when, the point to be made
7 is that this trial will start at the first opportunity.
8 Having said this, we try and bring this status conference to an
9 end. Are there any matters of a procedural nature that you would like to
10 raise, Prosecution or Defence?
11 Mr. Yapa.
12 MR. YAPA: I do not think we have -- I'm sorry. I don't think we
13 have any other matter.
14 JUDGE AGIUS: I thank you. Mr. Morrison, nothing? Okay. Thank
15 you.
16 Which brings me to the last part of the agenda, the last item on
17 the agenda. I'm required by the rules to inquire on the state of health,
18 physical and mental condition of the accused, as well as his conditions of
19 detention. I will put the question directly.
20 Does Mr. Nikolic have any reason -- or any reason to complain or
21 any submissions to make with regard to any of these issues, that is, his
22 state of health and the conditions of his detention?
23 The microphone, please. Of course, neither of them works.
24 THE ACCUSED: [Interpretation] Your Honour, as I said on the last
25 occasion, the conditions are good. I can say that I feel relatively good,
Page 117
1 both psychologically and physically. I do have some minor problems, but
2 they are problems which, of course, would not be of interest for the Trial
3 Chamber. Mr. Morrison helped me deal with my problems. I can say that I
4 feel fairly well for the time being. And as you yourself mentioned, Your
5 Honour noticed, I have been here for quite some time. But anyway, thank
6 you.
7 JUDGE AGIUS: Thank you. You wouldn't like to add anything in
8 this regard, Mr. Morrison, in addition to your client's statement?
9 MR. MORRISON: Your Honour, No. Plainly an extended period in
10 custody is going to be difficult for anyone to deal with. And it is not a
11 matter of breaching confidence because Mr. Nikolic has just said it
12 himself. He has undergone some problems, and we are hopeful that by
13 talking them through and by seeing the progress which the case is making,
14 he's overcoming them himself without any necessity for any third-party
15 intervention.
16 JUDGE AGIUS: Okay. I thank you.
17 So coming to a conclusion, I do not envisage any further
18 significant developments except for establishing the date when this trial
19 will commence. And I anticipate that we should be in a much better
20 position to identify such a date, either by the end of this year or very
21 early next year. And therefore, it will -- it is my intention, if this
22 should be the case, to convene towards the end of January a Pre-Trial
23 Conference. By that time, we would have had the pre-trial brief from
24 Mr. Morrison, more or less the disclosure procedure under 66 and 68 would
25 have been "concluded" - in inverted commas because this is always an
Page 118
1 ongoing process - and I think that we will need a Pre-Trial Conference
2 round about that time. So be prepared for it. You will be advised of the
3 date in good time. But do anticipate a Pre-Trial Conference towards the
4 end of January.
5 Anything else you would like to raise or mention? So I think we
6 can call it a day. I thank you. And since I won't be seeing any of you
7 before January, I wish you best for the coming festive season. Thank
8 you.
9 --- Whereupon the Status Conference
10 adjourned at 3.25 p.m.

To understand fully the extent of what Google is doing here, it is important to understand the journey that's led them to this point.
Google has licensed EAS. That means they at one point determined the EAS, not the DAV suite, fit the needs of users over what was available at the time.
Things change, and now Google feels that IMAP+*DAV is a better solution so they're transitioning. Granted, it's a rocky transition (Really, a few months notice? Stupid.), but it is one they're going through nonetheless.
This isn't Google moving to an open protocol, this is Google directly attacking Microsoft once the deck was stacked enough. If Google did not have Android, it wouldn't have the cojones to just shut out EAS.
So there's a lot of ways to read this: Google wanting to end free business services, save on licensing, injure Microsoft, etc.
I think its a little of each, but it isn't because Google had some sort of open standard loving epiphany. That's sort of pie in the sky.
Anyhow, I think Microsoft saw this coming. On Windows Phone 7, Gmail is automatically set up to use EAS to sync Contacts/Tasks/Calendar/Email
On WP8, Gmail uses IMAP..which caused a pretty nasty bug earlier this year (presumably due to Google's weird IMAP implementation, that some in these comments refuse to acknowledge exists). People have been dogging Google's IMAP implementation for years, but apparently its all head in the sand around here..

The goal, clearly, is to take the luster off the phrase "peer-reviewed" -- to undermine claims like "There are no articles in peer-reviewed journals suggesting that Intelligent Design is a viable alternative to evolution."

While I encourage all investors to read articles that companies publish in scientific journals -- they're peer-reviewed, which is more than you can say about data in press releases -- in the case of perifosine's phase 2 data, it may not do much to help predict the likelihood of a positive phase 3 trial.
Public exposure of a handful of snarky emails exchanged by British climatologists proved for time eternal that all of the so-called "peer-reviewed findings" and "scientific consensus" that the Earth is warming as a result of human activity were a cruel hoax.
A Climate of Doubt about Global Warming, Env.Sci. 7, 213 (2000), is not a peer-reviewed article.

This fraudulent claim was not based on scientific research or peer-reviewed.

The IPCC cited not peer-reviewed literature, but advocacy articles by Greenpeace, the publicity-hungry advocacy group, as its sole source for this claim.

My Roomba 560 is making a clunking noise when it is on and it keeps stopping saying that I need to clean the brushes. I've thoroughly cleaned the brushes and I've cleaned lint from other small crevices but I'm still getting the error. Any suggestions?
I'm having the same problem with my 560 after a day of use. For me, it's caused by the little yellow spacer that's clipped onto each side of the bristly brush. When the brush assembly is closed, it wedges rather tightly next to that yellow spacer on ... iRobot Roomba 560 Robotic Vacuum

mommy needing support ane advice
My ten yr old is out of hand latley. Its getting hard physically, emotionaly, and mentaly to handle him anymore. I feel at my breaking point. Sometimes i even think to myself that it might be easier sending him to my moms to live. But im in fear that he would cause her stress. He doesn't want to listen. He does what he wants to. He talks and treats me like im dumb:(
He picks on his two youger sisters. Constantly argues wity my partner and i.
I feel like im stretching myself thin just to please him. While the rest of the family suffers. :(
Does anyone have any advice?
Quit trying to please him and be his mother! The way this reads you are letting him control your family. Get him into some couselling, make consequences for his actions and stick with them.
Judging from this sentence alone....I would say this could be part if the issue. If he is acting up, what are you doing for discipline/punishment? You shouldn't be trying to please him....:) you need to pick a strategy (taking things or fun activities away, sending him to bed after dinner if he gets three strikes in a day) and use it. When one of my kids gives me a hard time (let's face it, they do! Part of growing up I suppose), I make things harder for them. It's not instantaneous, but they learn that when they are good, life is easier.
I discipline if he's being bad though not try to please . Mine talks back , curses, hits. Throws things & has an extreme listening problem . No form of discipline works :( his teachers are even getting fed up
How is he doing in school,grades,bullying,any major changes at home?
Talk to his teachers and maybe get a thorough exam from his doctor.
Good luck
Have you taken him to see a counselor yet? If not, you should schedule an appointment with one. It sounds like he has some issues that need to be worked out, and it's manifesting itself in his bad behavior toward his entire family.
I would talk to a councelor and have him also go see a councelor. It could be multiple things. My sister is 22 and still runs my parents lives and anyone elses lives that she can run. She has been that way since she was young but my parents just dealt with it. I dont know why. And for some reason I was always her target. I eventually moved out cause I couldnt take it anymore. Do something before he gets much older. I dont want you to go through what my family has gone through. Seek help while he is still young.
But, discipline without love won't work. Try spending one on one time with him, talk with him, seek a counselor and let him know how much you love him every day, even when he's misbehaving.
All the advice I can give is just with what my parents did for me. I was never an out of control child, but my Mom never went out of her way to please me. No is no and if she didn't feel like doing something she just didn't do it. I had to suck it up. And I was too afraid to be consistently disobedient. My parents are old school though so spanking was just something you do.
Family therapy and counselling. Parenting classes for difficult children. Big brother program. Make him volunteer in the community. Outreach programs. The older he gets the more challenging he will become. Desperate times call for desperate measures. He could be developing a psychiatric disorder such as bi polar or ADD. First step is seeing a family therapist and get your child evaluated.
I shared a similar post a few days ago about my step daughter - she is 12 - however she is Bi-polar. If your son doesn't suffer from mental illness - I think in times of frustration - it almost seems harder to deal with - because you can't necessarily say "oh it's because he's bipolar" so you are kind of left at a loss over why your son is acting the way he is.
What I can say - is that the suggestions of the other moms have been really good and positive - so I will say - do what you can and I will pray that you have continued strength.
Sometimes when we don't know what's what or up or down - all we can do is continue to fight the good fight - and in the end pray that our children see that all we did was out of love for them.
So bottom line - if after doing everything you can possibly do - if sending him to Grandma for awhile helps - then so be it. We are thinking of sending our child to Grandma's for the summer - just for an opportunity for all of us to get a nice little break, and reset.
I hope today you can at least breathe a little and know that you can make it through this.

Sacramento police have arrested a man suspected of stealing an ambulance from a hospital where he was being treated as a patient.
After authorities realized the ambulance was missing, an officer with McGeorge Law School spotted the ambulance and began following it to the area of 5th Avenue and Broadway, police said.
Additional officers, trying to help stop the ambulance, but soon a lengthy chase gave way to the vehicle crashing on Highway 99 just south of Elverta Road.
After the crash, police recovered the suspect, later identified as Kenneth Javier, 22, and arrested him.
Ironically, Javier would then be taken to a nearby hospital where he'd be treated for minor injuries connected with the crash.
