Trinity Mirror expresses interest in buying 'Sunday Business Post'
Listed UK media group is also in talks to acquire the British owner of the 'Star' titles
Ciarán Hancock
Listed UK media group Trinity Mirror is believed to have expressed an interest in acquiring the Sunday Business Post newspaper, which has been put up for sale by its Irish owner, Key Capital.
The British company previously owned the Dublin-based title, selling it in 2002 for €10 million to Cork media group Thomas Crosbie Holdings (TCH), having bought it for €7 million in 1997 from its management team.
As revealed by The Irish Times earlier this week, the Sunday Business Post newspaper and its associated printing business, Cork-based Webprint, have been placed on the blocks, with BDO Corporate Finance advising on the process.
Colin Morgan, the chief executive of Key Capital, confirmed that this "may include a sale of all or part of the business".
Key Capital said it received an approach for Sunrise Holdings, the holding company for the newspaper and printing businesses, that prompted it to appoint advisers to assess its potential exit from the business.
Printing contracts
Sunrise comprises the Sunday Business Post and the trading business of Webprint, which prints the newspaper and also has about 40 other printing contracts, including for several regional newspaper titles. The Sunday Business Post employs about 50 staff, with a further 25 employed at Webprint.
Trinity failed to respond to a request for a comment by the time of publication.
The UK company has also been linked with a bid for TCH, publisher of the Irish Examiner newspaper and other titles, which is also up for sale. The Irish Times, publisher of this newspaper, has also been linked with a deal for TCH.
Trinity Mirror already owns a broad range of newspaper titles in the UK, some of which are available in Ireland. Its titles include the Daily Mirror, the Sunday Mirror, the Daily Record in Scotland and the Sunday People.
Earlier this month, the company announced that it was in "discussions to acquire 100 per cent of the publishing assets of Northern & Shell", which publishes the Star and Express newspapers.
In Ireland, the Irish Daily Star is a 50-50 joint venture between Northern & Shell, which is controlled by Richard Desmond, and Independent News & Media.

Lawmakers have three weeks to come up with a long-term deal on border security, or potentially be faced with a second government shutdown or the president's declaring a national emergency. Judy Woodruff talks to Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, about why she's "very optimistic" that Congress can come up with a plan the president will sign and mechanisms for preventing future government shutdowns.
We turn now to Capitol Hill.
With the federal government reopened, lawmakers today were focused on committee hearings and legislative agendas. But the pressure to avoid a second government shutdown hangs over Congress.
To discuss all this and more, I'm joined by Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine.
Senator Collins, welcome back to the "NewsHour."
So, first question, what do you think the prospects are of another shutdown in three weeks?
I'm very optimistic that we can avoid another shutdown.
Shutdowns are never justified, no matter what the cause may be. And I believe that those who thought a shutdown would be worthwhile have been disabused of that notion.
Do you know, Senator, what the majority leader, Mitch McConnell, was referring to today when he said he would like to see shutdowns made more difficult in these kind of budget negotiations? Is there some kind of plan in mind?
There are a couple of bills that have been introduced that would have a mechanism by which government would go on what we call a continuing resolution, a stopgap funding at the current levels, in order to avoid any shutdown.
And there's a lot of interest in how we could craft that to ensure that this is the last shutdown that our country will ever endure.
You think that could get done in three weeks?
I believe that we can come up with a compromise that will allow us to fund some of the president's border security initiative, as well as to fund the remainder of government for the rest of the fiscal year through September 30.
And part of that package may well the some sort of legislation that has a mechanism to ensure that, no matter what the policy disputes may be, that there will not be a future shutdown.
Well, I want to ask you about the president's demand for money for border security, because he is continuing to say there has to be money here for some kind of physical barrier at the border.
Democrats, as you know, are saying no, no money for a physical barrier. Do you think the president could in the end be prepared to give on that?
I think there is plenty of room for a compromise on this issue. You have Speaker Nancy Pelosi saying not one dollar for any kind of physical barrier, despite the fact that we have built 654 miles of physical barriers, fences for the most part, in the last two administrations, both President Obama and President Bush's administration.
And then you have the president asking for $5.7 billion for some sort of wall or steel fence. There's a lot of room between not one dollar and $5.7 billion.
So, you think the Democrats are going to need to do the giving? Is that what you're saying, that they're going to end up putting some money on the line?
After all, keep in mind that, just this past summer, in the Appropriations Committee in the Senate, we approved a bill for the Homeland Security Department that included $1.6 billion for physical barriers, as well as other means of strengthening our border security.
The president's plan is actually $7 billion beyond that, because it includes more Border Patrol agents, immigration judge, sensors, roads to remote areas, new technology. We need an all-of-the-above approach, and I believe that people of goodwill can come together and come up with a package.
Well, we're all anxious to know what that in-between language is going to be.
Senator, several other things I want to ask you about, very quickly.
We heard the acting attorney general say this week that he believes the special counsel's investigation, Robert Mueller's investigation will be wrapping up soon. Do you know whether that's true or not?
Certainly, the special counsel has handed down a number — or has secured, I think, 34 indictments and some convictions, and it might well be logical that he is at the point where he's wrapping up his investigation, but I don't know that for certain.
And a completely different topic, Senator.
We're seeing a large number of Democrats express interest in running for president in 2020. We're even hearing conversation from Republicans who may be thinking about challenging President Trump for the nomination, Republican nomination.
Are you at this point prepared to endorse President Trump?
I'm really focused on my own campaign for 2020, and I really haven't focused on the presidential campaign. So I'm not prepared at this point to make that decision.
But do you expect at some point between now and November of 2020 to endorse the president, since you're a Republican?
I'm going to have to see what happens between now and then, and look at what his record is. I can't imagine that I would endorse any of the Democrats who are running right now, but I'm going to focus on 2020 in 2020.
But you're leaving the door open to perhaps supporting another Republican?
Well, I'm just not focused on it, Judy, right now, so I'm neither ruling it nor ruling it out.
All right, Senator Susan Collins of Maine, thank you very much. We appreciate it.

Nord appoints Skanska to construct Bristol office development, One Portwall Square
Independent developer Nord announces that it has appointed Skanska as the main contractor on its new office building, One Portwall Square, in the heart of Bristol's commercial district.
Construction commences on the six storey, 33,750 sq ft nett scheme which is located next to Bristol City Council's own 100 Temple Street office, 400m from Temple Meads Station, in November, for completion late 2021.
Designed by Stirling Prize winners Allford Hall Monaghan Morris (AHMM), the scheme combines contemporary architecture with a focus on tenant amenity, wellbeing and sustainability to deliver a new model office for Bristol. In addition to a brand new landscaped public square at the front of the property, each upper floor will benefit from a generous terrace. As part of a flexible mixed mode system, opening windows throughout the building work with a passive in-slab cooling system and super high ceilings to create the best work environment for occupiers – comfort cooled workspaces with quality daylight, fresh air and outdoor space.
One Portwall Square is committed to outstanding sustainability, energy efficiency and connectivity and will be built to BREEAM Excellent and EPC Rating A standards. It has achieved WiredScore Certification Platinum and CyclingScore Certification Platinum in recognition of its exceptional connectivity and cycling provision. It is also connecting into Bristol City Council's District Heat Network providing a more sustainable way of heating that offers cost efficiencies and a greener energy source.
Richard Jones, Nord founder, commented "We look forward to delivering a best in class new commercial scheme unique for Bristol. This is a vibrant, creative and innovative city and our office responds to it with workspaces for a modern generation of tenants who are looking for a stylish, healthy, sustainable and connected place to work."
John Brennan, Regional Director at Skanska, said: "Since negotiations began, we have worked closely with Nord and are delighted to sign this contract so we can use our knowledge and expertise to deliver this exciting, sustainable project for them."
Paul Monaghan, founding Director of Allford Hall Monaghan Morris said, "We are delighted to have reached this key point in the delivery of One Portwall Square, which will be not only an important new building for Bristol but also AHMM's new home in the city."

'Ageing Societies' are societies with a rapidly ageing population, a growing share of older persons and a decreasing share of younger persons. This research project examines how the Swiss Ageing Society is covered over the period 2014-2017 in three German-language Swiss newspapers (quality newspaper NZZ, tabloid newspaper Blick and free newspaper 20 Minuten). The project investigates how these newspapers represent, label and define the Swiss Ageing Society, which related topics they discuss, which frames they use and which actors are held accountable for solving policies; such as the government, enterprises, nonprofit groups or individuals. The various newspapers may allocate the responsiblities differently and present a different image of the Swiss Ageing Society - think for instance of a 'economic catastrophe' or instead a 'great human achievement'.
Switzerland's population is ageing at an impressive pace. The life expectancy rises, fertility decreases and the migration is not able to counter this ageing tendency. With ever fewer people in the labour market and ever more retirees, Switzerland has to develop solutions to keep for instance the pensions and old age and survivors care insurance (German: 'AHV') sustainable, or to recruit enough health professionals for the increasing demand. With regard to such broad challenges, newspapers have proven to affect the public opinion. The newspaper coverage of the Swiss Ageing Society may therefore influence the public attitude towards policies addressing the implications of the Ageing Society.
Currently, no empirical data about the representation of the Ageing Society are available yet in Switzerland. This study therefore provides first-time empirical results and aims to fill said research gap. Social relevance is assured: how the Ageing Society and its opportunities and challenges for the Swiss welfare systems are represented in three influential newspapers is important for the public opinion and possible public policy acceptance; even more so against the backdrop of the Swiss direct democracy.
The Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF) supports this project with a three year research grant.

Housing affordability continues to be a major concern for residents across the country. In this report, the authors look at what local governments can do to mitigate rising costs of rental housing in the U.S. The report reviews the root causes of high rent burdens and the consequences, including the impact of housing choice vouchers and modest increases in income. It also discusses why housing costs rise, looking more closely at housing markets and the factors that contribute to rising rent burdens. The report then reviews government policy responses at the local, state, and federal level before laying out a framework that municipalities can use to help provide citizens affordable housing options. It serves as a helpful tool for local officials considering new housing strategies or those interesting in improving existing policies.
How to House the Homeless
Homelessness is one of the most troubling and persistent social problems in the United States, yet experts can neither agree on its root causes nor on how to eradicate it. Is homelessness the result of individual life conditions, such as poverty, addiction, or mental illness, or is there simply not enough affordable housing? And which services are the most successful? In How to House the Homeless, editors Ingrid Gould Ellen and Brendan O'Flaherty propose that the answers entail rethinking how housing markets operate and developing more efficient interventions in existing service programs. The book critically reassesses where we are now, analyzes the most promising policies and programs going forward, and offers a new agenda for future research.

Reducing the Cost of New Housing Construction in New York City: 2005 Update
As was the case in 1999, the major housing problem facing residents of New York City in 2005 is the affordability of housing. More than one out of every five renters in the city pay over half their incomes in rent. It is especially problematic that the vast majority of households who experience these severe housing affordability problems earn low incomes. Nevertheless, high housing costs are a significant problem for households throughout the income spectrum. While limited data suggest that housing affordability problems may have moderated a tiny bit for renters from 1999 to 2004, they worsened for owners.

Sharing America's Neighborhoods: The Prospects for Stable, Racial Integration
Instead of panic and "white flight" causing the rapid breakdown of racially integrated neighborhoods, the author argues, contemporary racial change is driven primarily by the decision of white households not to move into integrated neighborhoods when they are moving for reasons unrelated to race.
Research Area(s): Neighborhood Conditions; Racial/Ethnic Segregation
Housing and Community Development in New York City: Facing the Future
Provides a comprehensive, up-to-date description and analysis of the housing and neighborhood problems facing residents of the nation's largest city, and the policies that have been developed to solve these problems.

Housing Partnerships: A New Approach to a Market at a Crossroads
The authors of this book propose the development of new markets, called Partnership Markets, that would allow households to use equity finance to buy their homes. With these new markets, a household would be able to finance housing not only with a mortgage, but also with an institutional investor who would provide part of the equity capital for the house in exchange for a share of the ultimate selling price.
Research Area(s):
Readings in State and Local Public Finance
This is the first collection of readings in the economics of state and local public finance in almost thirty years. The scope of the thirty pieces is broad, including both classic and current articles. The articles fall into three broad categories: public choice and fiscal federalism, revenue sources and the fiscal condition of cities.

Species are the fundamental unit of contemporary biology. The accumulation of microevolutionary modifications through time drives the process of speciation, which is considered complete when gene flow ceases between diverging taxa. Sexual selection can facilitate this process by shaping morphological and behavioral characteristics of individuals leading to reproductive isolation. A bastion of biological diversity, the Atlantic Rainforest is an excellent setting in which to study the generation and maintenance of biodiversity. The genus Cycloramphus (Cycloramphidae) includes a number of anuran species endemic to the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest that exhibit very specialized ecology and reproductive biology. Their unique life histories make them an interesting group for studies related to evolution. Our project will examine Cycloramphus at three microevolutionary scales: variation among species, among populations, and among individuals. We propose to study: (I) the molecular phylogeny of Cycloramphus, with the goal of developing a comprehensive phylogeny of the genus that will help us understand the evolutionary history of Cycloramphus and the origin of the ecological diversity within the genus; (II) the population genetics of two species that live partially in sympatry (C. boraceiensis e C. dubius), with a focus on interspecific gene flow and the reinforcement hypothesis; and (III) the mating system and parental relationships of C. boraceiensis, by examining correlations between reproductive success and adults traits, as well as the hypothesis of kin-bias recently described in a Cycloramphus sister genus.

Stephen DiBiagio Announced as Interim President
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Fri, 06/30/2017 - 13:42
The John Carroll School, an independent Catholic high school in Harford County, has announced the selection of Stephen A. DiBiagio as interim president effective July 10, 2017.
"He is exactly the right leader for this time in the history of John Carroll," according to Betsy Campion, chair of the Board of Trustees. "His talents, experience and deep commitment will enable him to uphold the academic standards and traditions of the school while effectively steering the vital strategic planning process and moving forward with our campaign initiatives already underway."
DiBiagio has strong backgrounds in both education and business management. From 1984 to 2015, he worked at PHH/Element Fleet Management in Hunt Valley, Md., most recently as senior vice president, strategic alliances.
Early in his career, DiBiagio taught high school English and journalism, including for his alma mater, Loyola Blakefield in Towson, Md. He also coached lacrosse and was named Maryland Scholastic Association Lacrosse Coach of the Year for two consecutive years.
DiBiagio founded his own consulting firm, High Point Business Solutions, in 2015 to specifically work with education-based businesses ranging from corporate executive development to school systems working to improve the connection between academics and athletics.
"John Carroll has a distinguished past and a truly bright future," DiBiagio says. "It is an honor to have this opportunity to work with such talented and dedicated faculty and staff to provide stellar Catholic education for students of John Carroll. I am looking forward to continuing the hard work and momentum established by Rick O'Hara."
President Richard O'Hara announced his retirement in April after 10 years as president.
As he takes on his new position, DiBiagio draws on close ties to John Carroll. Both of his daughters are proud Patriot graduates, and DiBiagio served as a trustee of the school for nine years. Steve and his wife, Debbie, also an educator, have lived in Harford County for more than 30 years. They are long-time parishioners of St. Ignatius Catholic Church in Hickory.


The Agave Business Park lies within the Opportunity Zone and offers multiple benefits for long-term business placement. Land incentives, new market tax credits, and diverse use of space are all inclusive in Phase 1 of the dedicated Business Park.
This concept was the mission of the Foundation For The Future which to date has raised more than $964,678 dollars for the sole use of bringing a business park online and then having enough dollars to aggressively market to outside companies. This goal and strategy was well received and widely applauded in the business community. The main push behind this effort was for the job creation possibilities because the PED was not motivated by profit and could essentially give big incentives if the right amount of jobs or total capitol investment was being offered.
In June 2012 the PED announced Romer Beverage has broken ground to be the first tenant in the Agave Business Park. Phase 1 of the Romer project will consist of a 25,000 plus sq ft facility with state of the art refrigeration. Phase 1 will provide 25-40 jobs. Romer's capital investment for phase 1 is substantial. The PED made an investment to the project of the land. Future Romer Beverage phases will consist of expanding the refrigerated warehouse to approximately 10,000 sq ft and moving the corporate headquarters to an approximately 10,000 sq ft multi-level office building that will provide service to the entire Colorado River region.

A disputed bet wouldn't ordinarily garner the kind of attention that this one has, however, when its WBA (Super) bantamweight title holder of the World Boxing Super Series' Nonito Donaire's father-in-law, the issue is gaining a lot more mileage.
Donaire's father-in-law Gerry Marcial has taken to Facebook to bemoan his alleged treatment by UK bookmaker Betfred saying he has yet to receive winnings from a bet he placed on Donaire in the World Boxing Super Series in Glasgow.
The bet in question reportedly stands at GBP 200 at odds of 12-1 for Donaire to stop Burnett, alongside another wager of GBP50 at 11-2, with winnings equating to just under GBP 3000 plus stake.
"This joyful celebration [Donaire's win] was muddied by Scotland's Betfred betting post who does not want to pay out my winning wager," Marcial said in a Facebook post.
According to Marcial, Betfred has dished out numerous excuses on paying out the winnings including being 'low on cash' and questioning whether the bets fall within the British Boxing Board of Control rules.
"This is illegal and them trying to bully us around and discriminate against us just bc [sic] we are American. It's not right," Marcial continued.
"And let's just put it this way, if I lost my bet, could I have gone back in and said 'I wanted my money back' because I'm his father in law? No of course not.
"Bottom line…..DON'T BETFRED…you'll get screwed," he concluded.
The dispute has the potential to be a PR nightmare as Donaire has also taken his father-in-law's plight to Twitter and other social media platforms to publicise the issue.


Just finished lunch with a good friend, Young Lee, who was one of the senior executives at turnitin.com, which recently sold to iParadigms. After the sale he moved back to Seattle from the Bay Area.
We talked about various early-stage investment opportunities in this down market. We agreed that the current equity market or the real estate market seem rather unappealing, especially when neither of us envisioned an economic bounce back in the foreseeable future.
The startups in today's market need to be more fundamentally sound than during the more optimistic times of the past. Business plans are scrutinized to a greater degree, money is tighter, and self-sustainability is expected in a relatively short period of time. Those business plans still standing are the fittest for survival.
Given this climate, the startups now represent a better 'potential return versus risk ratio' than during previous times. I've noticed some vibrancy in the local angel investment community. Obviously, others have come to the same conclusion as well.
If you are interested in the local angel investment community, there are many good groups. Some are more institutionalized like Alliance of Angels or Keiretsu Forum. Others are more informal networks of interested investors. Good luck to all those investing in our entrepreneurs.

In McHenry County, Illinois, a father was sentenced to prison for his failure to pay child support. In an unsual case, Michael Strobel was sentenced to 2 years of prison for his failure to pay child support for over a decade. He pleaded guilty to failure to support a child, which is a felony in Illinois. The charge stems from allegations he did not pay child support between June 2000 through September 2009 (the date of the child support filing) Apparently, Strobel owed $43,000 in child support payments.
Illinois Attorney, Louis Bianchi, stated that prison sentences are not common in child support cases. However, given the combination of Strobel's past record, which includes an earlier prison sentence for drug charges and his unwillingness to pay any support for his teenage son made it appropriate in this case. In Orange County, California, it is also uncommon to see individuals sent to prison for their failure to pay child support. It's more common for non-payors to have their driver's license or passport revoked until they bring their account current.
If you have an Orange County child support dilemma, a reputable and experienced Orange County child support attorney can assist you with a modification.

Analysis of Annunciation with St. Margaret and St. Ansanus
(The Annunciation Triptych) by Simone Martini
The "Annunciation with St. Margaret and St. Ansanus" is one of the finest religious paintings completed by Simone Martini (1284-1344), with the help of his brother-in-law and most important follower Lippo Memmi (1291-1356). Created for Siena's cathedral, the work consists of three panel paintings painted in tempera and gold, with a double-sized centre-panel. Martini had been a pupil of Duccio di Buoninsegna (1255-1319) when the latter was working on the Maesta Altarpiece (1308-11) for Siena Cathedral, some twenty years earlier, and this new altarpiece would represent Sienese culture at its very peak. Although there are no recorded details about who painted what, some experts believe that Martini painted the centre panel, while Memmi painted the side saints and the tondoes. The painting remained in the cathedral until 1799, when it was transferred to Florence.
The triptych consists of a large centre panel illustrating the Annunciation, flanked by two side panels showing Saint Ansanus on the left, and Saint Margaret (or Saint Maxima) on the right, plus four tondoes in the upper cusps: Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Isaiah and Daniel. The central panel shows Archangel Gabriel entering the house of the Virgin Mary to announce that she has been selected to give birth to Jesus. Gabriel holds an olive branch (a traditional symbol of peace) in his left hand, while his right hand indicates the Holy Ghost's dove as it descends from heaven. The background is entirely gilt, with a vase of lilies in the middle, representing the purity of the Virgin Mary. The work originally decorated the Chapel of Saint Ansanus in the Cathedral of Siena, and was part of a series of four altarpieces - commissioned during the period 1330-1350 - dedicated to Mary and to the city's patron saints (St. Ansanus, St. Crescentius, St. Sabinus of Spoleto, and St. Victor). The other three are the Presentation at the Temple (1342) by Ambrogio Lorenzetti (Active 1319-48) for the Altar of Saint Crescentius; the Nativity of the Virgin (1342) by Pietro Lorenzetti (active 1320-45) for the Altar of Saint Sabinus; and a Nativity (1351) attributed to Bartolomeo Bulgarini for the Altar of Saint Victor.
NOTE: For other Sienese artists, see: Sassetta (c.1395-1450) and Giovanni di Paolo (1403-1483).
Siena's great cathedral (designed and built 1215-63) was the centrepiece of the city. Its exterior walls were adorned with green and white marble, and its facade was decorated with a variety of Gothic sculpture and stone carvings. Inside, there was more marble decoration and - like other Gothic cathedrals - a mass of stained glass art creating beams of coloured light. But the most striking of the cathedral's decorations - all ornamented with extensive gold leafing as well as lapis lazuli, one of the rarest and most expensive colour pigments - were its panelled altarpieces exemplified by Martini's Annunciation.
This altar painting offers a perfect example of the highly developed focus on line in Pre-Renaissance painting of the 14th century. Surrounded by the brilliance of the golden decoration, the figures are presented in a non-realistic space, typical of Gothic-style Byzantine art. And yet within these parameters Martini succeeds in evoking a powerful dynamic between the gesture of the Archangel Gabriel and the Virgin's emotional response. Gabriel is depicted in a way that indicates movement - his gown is still swirling due to his sudden arrival - while the Virgin seems almost to recoil at the startling announcement of her holy pregnancy, discarding her book in the process. This animated scene is what makes this medieval painting so different from other Gothic paintings. Although limited in scope by the flat two-dimensional style of the trecento, Martini succeeds in creating a dramatic "moment" which is truly modern.

A Republican state representative who resigned last week has been arrested in connection with alleged voter fraud during New Hampshire's presidential primary.
Don Leeman of Rochester is facing felony witness tampering and bribery charges. The attorney general's office says Leeman was representing and voted in a district in which he was no longer domiciled at the time of the February primary.
The office says Leeman was living in a Rochester Housing Authority building outside of his district at the time. He allegedly asked a housing authority employee to provide a letter falsely saying his move was temporary and offered a donation in exchange for a transfer to a building within his district.
The office says Leeman voluntarily surrendered to Rochester police and is out on $50,000 personal recognizance bail.


Does it make sense to throw all of these into the same pool and create a 2 column 2-way mirrored volume with one of each drive-type per column or is such a variety of speeds not suggested in the same pool?
Mixing speeds other than an SSD cache tier is not recommended.
Your statement is correct. Also, I recommend you to get rid of these 4x 300GB 1000rpm HDDs. They will seriously slow you down.
That was a typo. They are 10000 rpm drives. Not sure if 1000 even exists.
I ended up creating a separate pool with these for a backup repository.
Can Windows Storage Spaces Mirror use 5 HDD in JBOD?
What is the minimum number of SSD drive for a tiered + mirrored storage spaces volume?

Kennedy v. Sup. Court

Court of Appeal, First District, Division 5, California.

Elizabeth KENNEDY, Petitioner, v. The SUPERIOR COURT of Marin County, Respondent; LUCKY STORES, INC., Real Party in Interest.

No. A081100.

 Decided: June 8, 1998

Peter B. Brekhus,Brekhus, Williams, Wester & Hall, Greenbrae, for Petitioner. Daniel F. Crowley, Cheryl P. Martinsen, Lanahan & Reilley, Santa Rosa, for Real Party in Interest.
In this case we hold that a party who submits to a medical examination pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 2032, subdivision (c), is entitled to a report of that examination on demand even if the examining physician has not prepared one. We further hold that a party who has submitted to such an examination has the right to depose the examining physician in spite of the fact that the party requesting the examination has withdrawn the physician as an expert witness and redesignated him or her as a "consultant."
Petitioner Elizabeth Kennedy is plaintiff in a personal injury action against real party in interest Lucky Stores, Inc. (Lucky). Petitioner slipped and fell in a Lucky store and was injured, and apparently required plastic surgery as a result. Lucky demanded that petitioner submit to a medical examination pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure 1 section 2032, subdivision (c). Petitioner complied. She then demanded a report of the examination, to which she was entitled under section 2032, subdivision (h). Lucky refused, claiming the examining physician had not prepared a report. Lucky also canceled the deposition of the examining doctor, on the ground that he had been withdrawn as an expert and designated a defense "consultant." Petitioner filed a motion to compel Lucky to produce a doctor's report of the examination, and to produce the examining doctor for deposition. The motion was denied. Petitioner seeks writ review.
In February 1997, about nine months after petitioner filed her complaint, Lucky demanded that petitioner appear for a medical examination by Dr. Randall Weil, a San Francisco plastic surgeon.
On March 25, 1997, petitioner submitted to the examination. According to the declaration of a registered nurse who was present, Dr. Weil made notes while he was examining petitioner.
On April 25, 1997, petitioner's counsel sent a letter to Lucky's attorney requesting a copy of Dr. Weil's report of the medical examination, per section 2032, subdivision (h). Petitioner's counsel received no response.
On September 18, 1997, Lucky designated Dr. Weil as an expert. On September 25, 1997, petitioner's counsel made a second written demand for his examination report. This second demand went unanswered.
Petitioner's counsel then spoke to Lucky's attorney by telephone, and was told that Dr. Weil had made no report of the examination. Petitioner's counsel responded that by the specific language of the statute, Dr. Weil was required to generate a report if none existed. The issue was not resolved.
Petitioner's counsel then noticed Dr. Weil's deposition for Monday, October 20, in the doctor's San Francisco office. On Friday, October 17, Lucky's attorney called petitioner's counsel at 3:30 p.m., and asked if she still intended to depose the doctor. She replied in the affirmative.
At 5:00 p.m. that day, petitioner's counsel's office received a fax from Lucky's attorney stating, in its entirety, "Be advised that defendant LUCKY STORES, INC. hereby withdraws Randall Weil, M.D. as an expert." The fax does not indicate that the deposition would be canceled.
Petitioner's counsel arrived at Dr. Weil's office on Monday, October 20, and was told by the doctor's secretary that Lucky's attorney had canceled the deposition. The doctor refused to speak to petitioner's counsel, who in turn called Lucky's attorney from the doctor's office. Lucky's attorney indicated petitioner was not entitled to take Weil's deposition because he had been withdrawn as an expert. The attorney also rejected a third written request for Dr. Weil's report, stating no report had been prepared and the discovery statute did not require Dr. Weil to prepare one.
Petitioner filed a motion to compel. In response, Lucky indicated that Dr. Weil had been redesignated a defense consultant. The trial court, indicating its belief that Dr. Weil could not be required to prepare a report, denied the motion.
This petition followed.
"Although prerogative writs generally do not issue to review discovery rulings, a writ may issue to review questions of first impression to provide guidance to the bench and bar. [Citation.]" (Liberty Mutual Ins. Co. v. Superior Court (1992) 10 Cal.App.4th 1282, 1286, 13 Cal.Rptr.2d 363.)
petitioner's Right To A Report Of Dr. Weil's Examination
Section 2032, subdivision (h) provides that "If a party submits to ․ a physical or mental examination in compliance with a demand ․, that party has the option of making a written demand that the party at whose instance the examination was made deliver to the demanding party (1) a copy of a detailed written report setting out the history, examinations, findings, including the results of all tests made, diagnoses, prognoses, and conclusions of the examiner, and (2) a copy of reports of all earlier examinations of the same condition of the examinee made by that or any other examiner. If this option is exercised, a copy of these reports shall be delivered within 30 days after service of the demand, or within 15 days of trial, whichever is earlier. The protection for work product under Section 2018 is waived, both for the examiner's writings and reports and to the taking of the examiner's testimony." (Italics added.)
Lucky took the position below, with which the trial court agreed, that this statute only requires disclosure of a defense examiner's report if the examiner actually made one. Petitioner contends the statute refers to "a" detailed report, not "the" detailed report, or "any existing" detailed report, thus requiring a party to have a report prepared, on demand, in exchange for the other side's submitting to the examination. Although there is a general reluctance to order parties to produce reports not in existence, the statute clearly requires that a party who submits to a physical examination is entitled to a report of that examination, which must contain certain specified information. The trade-off is clear: if one party to personal injury litigation is required by his or her opponent to submit to a medical examination, at the very least he or she is entitled to a report of the information obtained by the adversary in litigation.
We note that in section 2032, subdivision (j), the Legislature provides for reciprocal disclosure of any "existing" reports of the examinee. This suggests that by not using the word "existing" in subdivision (h), the Legislature expected a written report be prepared for the examinee whenever requested, even if one did not exist. Clearly, had the Legislature been concerned only with "existing" reports when it drafted subdivision (h), it could have so specified. Its failure to do so reinforces our interpretation of the statute.
petitioner's Right To Depose Dr. Weil
It does not appear that withdrawing Dr. Weil as an expert entitles Lucky to shield him from deposition with regard to the examination. By the explicit terms of section 2032, subdivision (h), the work product privilege with regard to the examination is waived. (See also Weil & Brown, Cal. Practice Guide: Civil Procedure Before Trial 2 (The Rutter Group 1996) ¶ 8:1606, p. 8I-27.) Lucky argues, as it did below, that it is free to withdraw Weil as an expert and thus preclude his deposition. This may be generally true (see County of Los Angeles v. Superior Court (1990) 222 Cal.App.3d 647, 271 Cal.Rptr. 698), but not in the specific context of section 2032. A party may "hide" an expert from deposition by withdrawing him and dubbing him a "consultant," thereby reinstating work product protection-but when the expert is also the examining physician per section 2032, the specific terms of the statute must control. Despite the withdrawal, petitioner is entitled to depose Dr. Weil with regard to the physical examination.
We have previously informed the parties we might act by issuing a peremptory writ in the first instance. (See Palma v. U.S. Industrial Fasteners, Inc. (1984) 36 Cal.3d 171, 177-180, 203 Cal.Rptr. 626, 681 P.2d 893.) Generally this Court will employ "the accelerated Palma procedure ․ only when petitioner's entitlement to relief is so obvious that no purpose could reasonably be served by plenary consideration of the issue ․ or when there is an unusual urgency requiring acceleration of the normal process." (Ng v. Superior Court (1992) 4 Cal.4th 29, 35, 13 Cal.Rptr.2d 856, 840 P.2d 961.) Here, there is no purpose to be served by oral argument because petitioner's right to relief is clear.
Let a peremptory writ of mandate issue commanding respondent superior court to vacate its order denying the motion to compel, and to enter a new and different order granting the motion.2 Petitioner shall recover her costs of this writ proceeding.
1. FN1. All further section references are to the Code of Civil Procedure.
2. The court has no authority to directly order Dr. Weil, a nonparty, to prepare a report. But Lucky is a party. We assume, since it has not argued otherwise, that Lucky can obtain a report from its designated examining physician. As a party, Lucky can be ordered to produce such a report-appropriate discovery sanctions may be imposed for a failure of production. The court can compel attendance at a deposition through the subpoena process.
