2024.05.21 20:40 Carlos_smd which are the best earbuds of 2024? less than 120$

Well I would like to pay something between 60-120, better if its less than 100.
Things that I care about
1:Sound ( the best sound possible)
2: the best Noise cancelling
3:Comfortable ( Id like to listen to music while im at the gym or running)
4: Battery and microphone are not really important to me if I increase the quality of the rest of options.
I was thinking about

Anker Space A40

But maybe theres something better paying a bit more, or even paying the same amount.
another option could be

JBL TUNE 230NC TWS

Im interested also in airpods (apple) but the 1º gen doenst have NC, and maybe the 2ºgen is expensive, I dont really know, so...
Thoughts?

2024.05.21 20:38 BodybuilderNo4566 Medicare Part B/D dropped

We had to file a tax extension in 2022. My husband received his annual IRMA large bill and shortly after he got another bill with a totally different amount.
He finally got around to calling to see which amount was correct. He was told he did not owe anything. He asked if he could set up auto withdrawal for the annual IRMA as he does with his monthly payment at and he was told no not for the annual amount.
Apparently he called Medicare instead of social security who collects the IRMA (at least I think that is how it works). Then they cancelled his Part B and Part D. I did not see any notices warning him about this nor did he.
Does anyone know what will be accepted in the appeal letter? Or is there anything he can do? He is a retired firefighter and has all kinds of structural medical needs and we do not know how to navigate this process. Any help is most appreciated.
Thank you!

2024.05.21 20:30 Open-Committee8197 Sent withdraw letter but never got cancelled.

I’m officially divorced and sent a request to cancel the I-130 case however I was made aware that my ex received an appointment for interview at the American embassy in Juarez Mexico. I’ve tried calling multiple times but no one answered. I’ve also sent another letter in hopes of reaching them on time before the interview. Is there anything else I can do to get this case cancelled?

2024.05.21 20:14 Cultural_Essay_9546 Trouble receiving callback from a live employee? (Charged twice for registration)

Hey everyone,
I recently discovered a DMV employee in the past accidently duplicated my car registration accounts (confirmed by calling them, so even though I was paying one account for years, the other was showing as unpaid and late.
Flash forward and I have a collections letter threatening to garnish wages. I called the general number and was assured I would receive a callback from a specialist who would cancel the incorrect account, but have not. Is there any direct emergency line I can contact? This is a frustrating process for someone else's mistake and the collections deadline is coming up. I tried to go to an DMV in person and they told me they couldn't help because the team was separate.

2024.05.21 20:09 zoeheriot Officially Out of Options in Tucson

I've been to various pain management clinics, many different doctors, and finally got down to a pain medicine specialist, thinking 'this guy will prescribe pain pills if it's determined I need them'
They canceled my appointment yesterday, something about the doc being out of the office. When I got home, I had paperwork from that doctor in my mailbox - new patient stuff - and on the cover letter, they indicated they do not provide opioids for pain management.
Opioids are the only thing that have even remotely helped my rare spinal condition in the past. I am suffering every day, and now, I have exhausted all my pain management options in this city. I really don't want to have to search in Phoenix, since that's an almost two hour drive away, but I'm running out of ideas. Does anyone else have any alternative pain relief methods?
FWIW, I have syringomyelia with arachnoiditis, C2-C5 and T5-T12. I also have arthritis. I am 40yo and female. I have had significant psychotherapy to process all my trauma so it does not exacerbate my pain. I have had physical therapy multiple times, acupuncture, cupping, massage, OMT, core strengthening exercise, water therapy, gabapentin, lyrica, meloxicam, every SSRI on the market. I genuinely don't know what else I have to do to stop the pain. It's becoming desperate. How can anyone live like this?

Years ago when we bought a car we got letters, phone calls, emails for months trying to sell us on signing up for Siriusxm and it was very frustrating. Is there anyway to prevent this or stop it?
I am a former siriusxm customer and I have traumatic memories from cancelling and the arguments with the people on the phone. I really never want to deal with Siriusxm ever again.

2024.05.21 19:52 Normodox YAF Announces Legal Action Against UCLA for First Amendment Violations

Young America’s Foundation is taking legal action against the University of California, Los Angeles, following the institution’s blatant violation of students’ First Amendment rights. Last week, UCLA forced the last-minute cancellation of a planned event featuring Robert Spencer, founder of Jihad Watch.
The pro-Israel event, which was organized by the school’s Young Americans for Freedom chapter, would have provided a voice of reason amidst the chaos of the pro-Hamas encampments and protests–but apparently, reason and common sense are not allowed at UCLA.
Despite previously granting the event approval, UCLA abruptly reversed its decision on the day of the event, blocking YAF staff out of the reserved venue and citing arbitrary security concerns. This action followed weeks of inconsistent and obstructive behavior by the university, which included initially refusing the event, offering insufficient time to promote it, and ultimately shutting it down on the day-of.
James Kerwin, senior attorney at Mountain States Legal Foundation, remarked in a letter to the administration, “UCLA’s actions represent a gross violation of the First Amendment. The university’s conduct handed an unconstitutional ‘heckler’s veto’ to anti-Israel activists and engaged in blatant viewpoint discrimination against pro-Israel messages.”
The letter reminds administrators of their legal obligations to preserve evidence, noting that YAF is working to prepare the lawsuit and intends to file very soon.
YAF’s forthcoming lawsuit aims to hold UCLA and its administrators accountable for their actions, seeking injunctive and declaratory relief, as well as damages.
Kerwin added, “We warned UCLA that it would be held to account if it did not respect YAF’s constitutional rights. We are deeply disappointed that UCLA did not heed this warning. YAF is committed to vindicating its rights and ensuring that such violations do not occur in the future.”
When UCLA’s sister school, UC-Berkeley, used similar tactics to prevent a successful Ben Shapiro lecture in 2017, Berkeley had to pay a $70,000 settlement and rescind its unconstitutional policies.
UCLA administrators were well aware of the Berkeley case, so it’s a bit surprising that they handled this situation so recklessly.
When YAF reminded administrator Pamela Lewis of the Berkeley situation early on in the event planning process, she said, “Yeah, we didn’t appreciate that.”
“We will win our lawsuit against UCLA, just like we won the case UC-Berkeley,” YAF President Governor Scott Walker said during a recent NewsMax interview about the situation. “But the fact of the matter is we shouldn’t have to go to court. Colleges should be places where free expression, where free speech is embraced and revered–and yet it’s most under attack.”
YAF is dedicated to standing up for our students and will continue to fight against any attempts to suppress their constitutional rights. Further updates on this case will be provided as the legal process unfolds.

2024.05.21 19:10 Open_Reception5576 What are your thoughts on Crunch fitness?

Due to personal training being too expensive, and moving on top of it all, I've decided to go through with canceling it after 1 year.
Over the past year I used it a few times and then a couple of months later, some bad stuff happened and I wound up super depressed. I was working 8-12 hours for 6 days and I was rotated between days and night shift a lot. As of now I'm working at a different place with more flexible hours and I've decided to go through with using up the PT days I already paid for before I move just so that I can say I didn't waste my money on it. I'm beginning with using up my sessions tomorrow. What is everyone's thoughts on the Kitchener location of the gym? I hope what I was told about not being charged for PT anymore was legit.

2024.05.21 18:58 Both-Statistician113 How should I tell my F/28 now ex-partner's M/27 fiancee he was cheating on her with me?

I (F/28) am married but in an open relationship. Any partner I pursue knows this as I'm completely transparent about it and don't keep anything from my husband either. In Oct of 2022, I met "Kyle" (M /27) on tinder and began talking. We ended up meeting up for dinner the next evening and it went well. He stated he had two roommates so his place was a "no-go", we ended up at a local hotel that night. The rest of the times we went to my place.
This semi-regular hookup/friendship continued until June 2023 when Kyle told me he started seeing someone. I congratulated him and thanked him for being honest. We stayed friends on snapchat but did not interact again until Oct 2023. Kyle reached out and said he and his girlfriend had broken up and wanted to know if I wanted to hang out. I happily agreed and he came over. We stayed in contact and sent salacious texts/pics up until Feb 2024. We had tried to hang out more but our schedules conflicted or he'd always cancel last minute.
In March this year he suddenly deleted me off of snap chat, which I was bummed, but not a big deal really. Until... I just found out his "ex girlfriend" is actually his fiance he's been with for 4+ years continually. They are getting married in less than two weeks, I found their wedding website.
I have never been okay with being the "other woman" and feel absolutely sick about it. There were very minofaint red flags that make more sense now, but were easily brushed off in the moment, like not wanting to be friends on social media.
I do not want to retaliate against him, but my thought is that I'd want to know if I were marrying a serial cheater (I know I wasn't the only woman) for not only trust issues, but safety. Thinking about sending her an anonymous letter letting her know he's a cheater. I don't want to include details that would make him know it's from me. What should I say?

2024.05.21 18:28 DumpsterEnFuegoo Does anyone else attribute their waking up, at least in part, to COVID?

I honestly don't know where I'd be with JWs right now if COVID hadn't happened. The last 4 years have been a blur, but I feel like fading in those circumstances could not possibly have been easier. It just felt so natural, as if the universe said, here's a break, take it. And in the midst of that break, I discovered how badly I needed it, and how damaging it is to think that God must be worshipped in such a cold, legalistic manner. The sheer amount of FREEDOM I never knew I was craving so badly finally became clear.
I know everyone has had their own journey in their own time, but I'm really curious if anyone else faded similarly to how I did.
My evolution from PIMI to POMO:
June 2019- hamster-wheel exhausted, but still happy PIMI, on a "need-greater" trip in upstate NY with others
October 2019- exhausted, still PIMI, but sad because of the congregation merge
January-February 2020- semi-inactive PIMI, still doing JW stuff (went to Warwick)
March 12th, 2020- field group overseer sends text saying meeting that night is cancelled and don't go out in service for the time being (what a relief to this exhausted PIMI)
2020-early 2021- POMI and hating life, still feeling obligated but can't bring myself to write letters or call strangers on the phone for service, still on Zoom meetings
mid 2021-mid 2023- POMA (if that's a thing, lol)- not caring anymore, not attending meetings much anymore, but still thinking I'll get back someday
mid 2023- now: POMO, self-aware, cult-educated, off the hamster wheel and finally okay with it

2024.05.21 17:39 AaronL150104 To overcome procrastination, you must understand this.

Hi, my name's Aaron and I used to be a chronic procrastinator. When I was younger it didn't matter what the activity was, if it was important I'd find an excuse to put it off. Back in school and college (16-18 yo in the UK) I'd do almost NO work. Whenever I did actually muster the effort to work, it would either be the bare minimum or at the very last minute.
Throughout my life, I've also always been extremely addicted to gaming and YouTube and at times, would spend more than 12 hours a day on these vices, whilst avoiding the important tasks I knew I should be doing. It would even get so bad at times that my family would receive letters and emails from my school and college, telling them how behind I was on all my work. It felt so embarrassing being unable to work without an adult's supervision at 18 YEARS OLD!
Why am I telling you this? To show you that you're not alone with this struggle and that it's actually VERY common. I know many other people who also live just like this, being unable to do the things they should be doing.
I know how horribly painful it can feel to have the desire to improve your life and to know what you SHOULD be doing but feeling unable take action on those things. I know how much it can hurt your sense of self worth, destroy your confidence and make you hate yourself.
Luckily, after years of constant procrastination, I was able to overcome it as soon as I understood this:
Procrastination is an emotional problem that occurs when a task invokes more negative emotions than positive emotions. These negative emotions could be things like stress, sadness, anxiety or anger. When we feel these negative emotions, it's only natural for us to want to eliminate them as quickly as possible. This is why you procrastinate.
You may turn to things like tv, gaming, porn, junk food or binge watching YouTube because it provides a temporary relief from those negative feelings. We procrastinate because humans are emotional creatures that prioritize our current state over our future state.
Logically, we know that procrastination damages our lives in the long term but we are evolved to favor short term rewards over long term rewards. This is why eating ice cream and watching Netflix may sound more appealing than going to the gym even though you know which one you SHOULD be doing.
So now you know why you procrastinate, the solution is obvious. It's to uncover what's causing you to feel negative emotions towards a task and deal with that problem. This can usually be some kind of subconscious fear.
Some of the common causes of procrastination include:
The reason itself may often vary from person to person but ultimately, you have to find out what's causing those negative emotions of yours and then, tackle that issue.
Anyway, I hope this was helpful and wasn't too long 😄.
I'm currently working on a project to help people overcome procrastination just as I did. If you're interested, you can book a short, free call with me so I can ask you a few questions and better understand how to help you: https://calendly.com/procrastination/call .
Thanks for reading and good luck. 🙂

2024.05.21 16:56 SunilaP Is he a genuine friend or just using me as a placeholder until he meets his people?

He has only been in my town for a year. He knows I'm gay and I suspect he is very very closeted (convo for another time) , but met this guy in a writing class. Same interest. We hit it off, we would hang out at his place, go to the movies, beach, dinner, etc. During this period of hanging out I would ask myself "does he like me?" He is a cute guy and I would hook up but not date.
Reasons why I suspect something is off in this friendship.
1.) We made plans to go see a movie. He made the plan. Then cancels day of telling me "hey my friend just got to town, so I have to cancel. Dont wait for me to see the movie, you can go on your own cause I'll be busy with my friend." So you're telling me you cant just invite your friend to come with US? Why does everything have to be separate.
2.) He NEVER invites me to go out with his friends but ALWAYS tries to include himself in my plans. If I'm meeting with a friend, he'll try to get me to invite him. He ran into MY friend at the gym and tells him "yeah us 3 should go out one night!" Why does he make that offer when he never invites me anywhere?
3.) Whenever he has more friends in town not a single invite. He disappears for a week or two then hits me up when they're gone.
4.) He has ANOTHER gay friend but never thought to introduce us two? How is it that a "straight" guy has another gay friend and doesnt think to introduce his two gay friends together.
I understand everyone has seperate groups. But I've introduced friends to other friends. I dont think too much into it.
My friend said he's extremely insecure and probably worried his friends might like me more than they do him.
Have you all ever been in this situation?

2024.05.21 16:37 P_Bread1514 Amended return refund

So they took 14 months to process my 22 amended return. In the meantime they said I owed them over 2k. The amended return being processed finally back tracked that and I owe them nothing.
The problem is, I did make payments initially because I was worried about all the letters they were sending me (like $300). They also took my $350 refund from my 23 taxes to apply to my outstanding balance.
However, now that everything has processed they pretty much cancelled out everything. But I got sent a check for the interest on my acct only and they stated i would be given a refund of less than $500.
Am I not going to get the payments I paid in back? Because it says they "removed payment" but I didn't receive that money back...and since the total cost i "owed" was also completely removed so it's not like I actually owed them that money?
I tried calling but I just keep getting hung up on and can't get through to a real person.

2024.05.21 15:39 wannaBeTechydude Wife and I both work; got notified this morning that summer camp has been cancelled. I know this awesome community can help me find another??

Hey all, as the title reads. Wife and I both work, so being notified the summer camp we signed up the kid for is cancelled has us scrambling to find anything that is open. Daughter enjoys sports, art, theatre, anything STEM. she's five.
We just moved here late summer last year so my family and I are not familiar with local kids programs, gyms, activities, etc.
My daughter started doing gymnastics and when they offered a summer camp registration in the winter, we immediately jumped on it. Well, when we woke up this morning, we read the email that it has been cancelled.
If anyone knows of anything, please drop it here. Amount of days or hours per day doesn't matter. It beats day care costs.
Edit: We are in Lawrenceville (we LOVE it here btw). We'll commute about 30 min depending on the times of camp.

I'm in Canada mind you. I was planning to come back to the US July 25th before knowing it was approved. Should I cancel my trip since the next steps are coming?

2024.05.21 15:01 FelicitySmoak_ Tuesday, May 21, 2013 - Jackson v. AEG Live Day 15

Tuesday, May 21, 2013 - Jackson v. AEG Live Day 15
Trial Day 15
Katherine, Rebbie and Trent Jackson are at court.
LA Times reported that the Jacksons offered a settlement.
Kevin Boyle , a lawyer for Katherine Jackson and Michael's kids , said they offered to settle the lawsuit against AEG, but that they never got an answer. Kevin Boyle said the family made the offers in January & March. Boyle would not provide details but said AEG's insurance would have paid, which means they could have settled the case without them paying a dime of their money. He said AEG has never offered to settle & they haven't apologized.
Marvin Putnam, an attorney for AEG, said it was inappropriate to discuss settlement discussions:
"We don't settle matters that are utterly baseless. We believe that is the case in this matter. I can't see why we would consider a settlement as anything other than a shakedown"
CNN Reports there was a snack controversy during trial: AEG lawyers gave a bag of peppermint candy to the bailiff to hand out to the jury this week. Even Katherine Jackson enjoyed the treat but Jackson's lawyer raised an objection, suggesting jurors might be influenced if they realized the source of the sweets. A compromise was reached. Each side can provide snacks for jurors, but they'll be placed at the bailiff's desk before jurors enter court so they have no clue who brought it.
Shawn Trell Testimony
Jackson direct
AEG Live General Counsel, Shawn Trell, told jurors that he had forgotten that Kenny Ortega was working under a signed contract.
Trell said he met with his attorneys last night and reviewed one doc -- Kenny Ortega's contract.
"He had a written contract," Trell said. "I remember the email dynamic. I'm not too proud to admit that I didn't recall the cover contract," Trell said he was changing his previous testimony to add that Ortega had a written contract, not only emails between him and AEG
Next topic was Insurance: Cancellation/Non-Appearance/Sickness. Trell said he started working on insurance for the tour in November of 2008. Panish showed several chains of emails where the parties talked about the insurance for the tour
Email from Bob Taylor insurance broker to Trell on 1/7/09:
"Prior to speaking with carriers we ask the artist to attend medical with a doctor...A full medical with both blood/urine tests. The doctor also wants to review the medical records over the last 5 years to ensure full disclosure. Insurers require further medical examination to be carried out by their nominated doctor. They may restrict illness coverage or death from illness coverage until this examination has taken place"
Email from 4/30/09 - Wooley to Trell :
"We have no coverage against Michael sickness unless and until he submits to another medical in London
Email from 5/28/09 - Trell to Taylor:
"We really need to get that medical done"
Email from 6/23/09 - Trell to Taylor :
"Any update on the availability of Term insurance?" (life insurance)
Trell said if they secured life insurance, they would get money if Michael died.
"We would get the money owed to us, yes," Trell testified.
Trell also said he continued discussions with an insurance broker about additional coverage to recoup AEG Live's investment if the tour had to be canceled.
Email from 6/24/09 -Taylor to Trell :
"Insurers have refused to move on this. Huge amount of speculation in the media regarding artist's health. They feel if they're to consider providing illness to cover this particular artist, they must have very through medical report"
Email from 6/25/09 - Gongaware to Taylor :
"If we don't get sickness coverage, we are dropping this policy"
Email from 6/25/09 - Taylor to Gongaware :
"The consultation in London is critical. The doctor is holding the afternoon of the 6th July open at Harley St. But keep in mind the visit could take 2 hours plus"
Next topic: Budget/Costs. Panish showed an email from AEG's Rick Webking to Michael's estate with 1st report of artist advances/expenses. This was a letter sent to the estate containing the expenses incurred, Trell said.
"It seems to me we submitted this report for their review, I don't see any request for payment," Trell said.
Trell said he spoke with Randy Phillips and Paul Gongaware about Michael's physical condition prior to coming to testify.
"I had heard about rehearsals in which Mr. Jackson was fantastic," Trell said
Trell said he's aware of email from Ortega saying doctor was not allowing Michael to attend rehearsal on June 14, 2009.
"I was aware of the doctor not allowing him to attend rehearsal," Trell said
Email from 6/17/09 from Phillips:
"...Ortega, Gongaware, Dileo, and his doctor Conrad from Vegas and I have an intervention with him to get him to focus and come to rehearsal"
Email from 6/17/09 from Gongaware to Phillip's assistant:
"We need a physical therapist and a nutritionist"
Email from Production Manager - Gongaware/Phillips on 6/19/09 :
"Paul/Randy I'm not bring a drama queen here. Kenny asked me to notify you both Michael was sent home without stepping foot on stage. He was a basket case and Kenny was concerned he would embarrass himself on stage, or worse yet, be hurt. The company is rehearsing right now, but the DOUBT is pervasive"
Email from Randy Phillips to Tim Leiweke on 6/19/09 :
"We have a huge problem here."
"I think he recognized there was a problem on the 19th," Trell said. "I would take it seriously, as I believe Mr. Phillips did."
Trell agreed with a statement by plaintiff's attorney, Brian Panish, that company executives knew by then there was a "deep issue" with Jackson
Does Trell consider that exchange a "red flag" that AEG Live should have noticed, Panish asked.
"I would take it seriously, as I believe Mr. Phillips did," Trell answered. "I don't know I would use the word 'red flag'
One of the emails shown to the jury was from Jackson estate co-executor John Branca, sent 5 days before Jackson's death & marked 'confidential':
"I have the right therapist/spiritual advisosubstance abuse counselor who could help (recently helped Mike Tyson get sober and paroled) Do we know whether there is a substance issue involved (perhaps better discussed on the phone)
The email was sent the same day that a meeting was held at Jackson's home with Murray. No further info given to jury.
Trell said Mr. Phillips never told him about this email
Email from Ortega to Randy Phillips on 6/20/09: (chain of emails)
"I honestly don't think he is ready for this based on his continued physical weakening and deepening emotional state"
Trell said he didn't see these emails. He said he spoke with Randy Phillips about Phillips' perception of Michael, in order to prepare for testifying, but not about specific emails. Trell has been designated as the most qualified person to speak on behalf of AEG
Email from Phillips to Gongaware on 6/20/09 at 1:52 am :
"Tim and I are going to see him tomorrow, however, I'm not sure what the problem is Chemical or Physiological?"
From Gongaware to Phillips, on 6/20/09 at 5:59 am :
"Take the doctor with you. Why wasn't he there last night?"
From Phillips to Gongaware, on 6/20/09 at 2:01 pm :
"He is not a psychiatrist so I'm not sure how effective he can be at this point obviously, getting him there is not the issue. It is much deeper"
Trell said Randy Phillips went to a handful of rehearsals, three at the Forum and two at Staples Center. The head of the marketing department attended rehearsal on June 23, 2009.
"She was blown away by it," Trell testified.
He said he was unaware of issues with Jackson at rehearsals.
"I knew of no problems with Michael Jackson at all",Trell testified.
Trell said he never saw the emails from Phillips directing people to exclude images from This Is It of Michael looking "skeletal" while rehearsing.
"What were his observations of Michael's physical condition during rehearsal," Trell said. "I asked for his (Phillips) personal opinion."
Next line of questioning is about human resources and background checks. Trell said they can be valuable and useful tools when hiring. Background check costs around $40 to $125. Trell said AEG Live could afford this fee. "We don't do background checks on independent contractors," Trell said. Trell said he was involved in the hiring by AEG Live for the This Is It tour. His department was responsible for retaining independent contractors. Trell said he is not familiar with background check process for hiring.
"I am not familiar with the process of doing background checks," Trell said. "No training."

Panish: "There was no hiring criteria for the This Is It tour, correct?"
Trell: "Not to my knowledge"
Trell testified that when it comes to independent contractors, they have either worked with the artists, AEG or known in the industry. Trell agreed that no background check was done on anyone working on the This Is It tour. AEG Live General Counsel Shawn Trell told jurors that no legal or financial checks were done involving Conrad Murray or anyone else who worked as an independent contractor on the This Is It shows.
Depending on the nature of the position, a background could be done, Trell said, like for potential employees in the financial area. Trell said he thought a background check would be appropriate for people working in financial roles, but not tour personnel who weren't employees of AEG
As to independent contractors, Trell said there's no supervision and monitoring like there's for employees
Panish: "You don't do anything to check into background, supervise or protect the artist?"
Trell: "No, safety is a concern"
Trell said that AEG did not hire Murray, that the doctor was like many independent contractors,
"When they leave the environment, what they do on their own time is their own business"
Trell testified he doesn't believe the artist is more at risk because AEG Live doesn't do background checks
"We did nothing to monitor Dr. Murray," Trell said. "We did not monitor whatever it was that he was doing, no."
"It called for Michael Jackson being able to terminate Dr. Murray at will," Trell said about the contract. "If the concerts didn't go forward, and he was terminated under this provision, Dr. Murray would not be paid going forward," Trell explained
As to Dr Murray being under dire financial straits, Trell said that he doesn't know if he agrees with it, everyone's perception is different
Trell: "I certainly wasn't aware of it at the time"
Panish: "Because you didn't check, right?"
Trell: "That's right"
"I don't think conflict of interests are a good thing, and we would want to prevent it," Trell said
Email from Kathy Jorie to Shawn Trell on 6/24/09 at 12:54 am:
Subject: Revised agreement with GCA Holdings/Dr. MurrayIt had two attachments Attachments: Revised Michael Jackson -AEG GCA Holdings Murray Agreement 6-18-09 Final MJ -- AEG GCA Holdings Agreement (Dr. Murray) 6-23-09
Email chain from 6/23/09, 5:39pm from Jorrie to Wooley, Murray
Subject: RE: Michael Jackson - Revised Agreement with GCA Holdings/Dr. Murray Email:
"I have redlined the Word version so that you can see all of the revisions. In addition, I've attached clean PDF version for execution" (The email says that if Dr. Murray approved it, he was to print it, sign and send it back to Jorrie)

Panish: "Did Ms. Jorrie call this contract a draft?"
Trell: "She called it a Final Version"
"Every document is a draft until it is executed," Trell said.
Panish showed emails exchanged among AEG executives that contained drafts of Murray's contract. Although Murray had signed a contract with the company, neither Jackson nor anyone from AEG had added their signatures. Trell testified that a copy of the contract had never been sent to Jackson
With Trell on the stand, Panish played part of an interview that AEG Live President Randy Phillips gave to Sky News television soon after Michael's death.
"This guy was willing to leave his practice for a very large sum of money, so we hired him," Phillips said.
Panish also showed jurors an e-mail between AEG lawyers suggesting that Phillips told other interviewers AEG Live "hired" Murray.
Panish: "Isn't it true that Randy Phillips made numerous comments that AEG Live hired Dr. Murray?"
Trell: "I know he has made that statement"
Panish said AEG higher-ups became concerned after Phillips made such admission. Trell said he didn't know if that was true. Bruce Black is the General Counsel for parent company of AEG and AEG Live. Michael Roth is AEG's media relations
Email from Kathy Jorrie to Bruce Black and Michael Roth on 8/25/09:
Subject: AEG Live president says AEG Live hired Dr. Conrad Murray
Panish shows Trell a deposition, under oath, given by insurance broker Bob Taylor on another case. Trell said he has never seen or read it. Trell denied having a telephone conversation with Mr. Taylor where Trell asked him if a doctor's compensation was covered in the insurance.
Panish: "Does that refresh your recollection that AEG was employing Dr. Murray?"
Trell: "Mr. Taylor has this completely wrong"
After lunch break, Brian Panish asked if Shawn Trell wanted to change anything else in his testimony, to which he said "No"
Bruce Black, attorney for Anschutz, was present in the meeting with LAPD. Trell met with the police on 1/12/10. Trell told the police that day that Dr. Murray would receive $150,000 compensation per month. Trell also said that Dr. Murray requested and AEG would provide necessary medical equipment and a nurse. More than five months after Jackson's death, Trell said, he informed LAPD detectives that Murray initially requested $5 million to join the tour but eventually agreed to a salary of $150,000 a month for 10 months.
Panish: "As far as you know, all the agreements written for TII tour was done under AEG Live Productions, right?"
Trell: "Yes"
Panish: "Was Dr. Murray trying to help AEG get insurance?"
Trell: "The policy was in both names, so he was helping both parties"
Trell said Dennis Hawk, who represented Michael, was in touch with Taylor regarding the insurance
Panish: "As of June 2009, you don't even know whether Mr. Jackson had a personal manager
working for him, right?"
Trell: "Well, my understanding at the time there were a couple of people acting in that capacity"
Email on 6/2/09 from Randy Phillips to Jeff Wald:
"Jeff, remember getting Michael to focus is not the easiest thing in the world and we still have no lawyer, business manager, or, even real manager in place. It is a nightmare!"
Trell said the only time he saw an artist's signature required to retain an independent contractor was for Dr. Murray. Trell said his understanding was that Dr. Murray worked for Michael for 3 years; didn't know how many times MJ saw Dr. Murray.
"I've never spoken with Dr. Murray ever. And I met/spoke with Mr. Jackson once," Trell said.

"He was a significant expense," Trell testified about Dr. Murray.
Trell said AEG Live didn't do anything to check Dr. Murray's competency as doctor, other than checking his physician license. Trell said AEG didn't do anything to determine Dr. Murray's financial conditions in 2009.
Jury was shown an email that Phillips sent to Kenny Ortega on night of June 20, 2009. It was email urging Ortega to stand down.
Email on 6/20/09 Phillips to Ortega :
"Kenny it's critical that neither you, me, anyone around this show become amateur psychiatrist/physicians. I had a lengthy conversation with Dr. Murray, who I am gaining immense respect for as I get to deal with him more. He said that Michael is not only physically equipped to perform & discouraging him to will hasten his decline instead of stopping it. Dr. Murray also reiterated that he is mentally able to and was speaking to me from the house where he had spent the morning with Michael. This doctor is extremely successful (we check everyone out) and does not need this gig so he is totally unbiased and ethical"
Panish asked Trell whether Phillips "characterization to Ortega, given no background check was done, was a lie". Trell responded that he didn't know what Phillips knew or was thinking when he wrote that email to Ortega. Trell also said he expected Randy Phillips to testify at some point during the trial, so he could address the email himself
Panish then asked Trell, "Sir, you never checked out one single thing about Dr. Murray -- you've already told me that, correct?"
"As of the date of the email, that would've been correct",Trell said.
When pressed by Panish, Trell said that Phillips' statement that Murray had been checked out, along with the executive's claim that the doctor 'does not need this gig' were inaccurate.
"I don't know where Randy's understanding or impression comes from", Trell said.
Trell testified that Phillips might have been "misinformed" or simply was stating his impression of the Las Vegas cardiologist
Panish: "But no one at AEG checked Dr. Murray to see if he was successful or not, isn't that true?"
Trell: "Yes"
Panish then asked several pointed questions about whether Shawn Trell agreed with Phillips telling Ortega they'd checked Murray out. One of Panish's questions was whether Trell thought Phillips' email was 'acceptable conduct'
Panish called Phillips' statement "a flat out lie" and asked Trell whether he agreed with it or if it signified how AEG did business. Trell said he didn't know what Phillips thought he knew when he wrote the message.
"I know this statement is not accurate, but you'd have to speak with Mr. Phillips about what he thought or meant in saying it," Trell said.

Panish: "That's a flat out lie, isn't it sir?"
Trell: "I don't know what Mr. Phillips intended to say, this should be a question to him"
Panish: "You don't know if he was successful or facing bankruptcy, did you?"
Trell: "No"
Trell: "I know the statement is not accurate. You have to speak with Mr. Phillips about what he meant to say"
Panish: "Do you agree with the CEO of your company making untrue statements?"
Trell: "I don't know that he didn't know it wasn't true when he said it"
Trell said Phillips never told him that he checked Dr. Murray out. As to reference in Phillips' email about Dr. Murray being unbiased, ethical, not needing this gig, Trell said it was Phillips' impressions. He said AEG typically only runs background checks on candidates applying for full-time jobs with AEG, not independent contractors.
Panish: "Isn't it true AEG Live does not do background check on independent contractors?"
Trell: "That's true"
Trell said that no one from AEG interviewed Dr. Murray because he was an independent contractor.
"Did anyone from AEG ever at any time interview Dr. Murray", asked Brian Panish
"No", Trell replied.
Panish showed a document used by AEG entitled "Disclosure and Authorization to Conduct Background Check". Doc is used for employment, promotion, retention, contingent or the rate staffing, consulting, sub-contract work, or volunteer work. Panish asked if there was any reason why Dr. Murray was not given a background check.
"He wasn't an employee, he wasn't applying for a full time position with the company," Trell explained.
Trell said theoretically they could've asked to check Dr. Murray's background and credit.
AEG Cross
Jessica Bina began her examination by showing the letter submitted by AEG's CFO to the Estate of Michael Jackson for their review. She asked Shawn Trell about the estimate presented to Jackson's estate that included Murray's $300k fees. She asked why it was prepared. Shawn Trell said it was done at the request of the estate. He said Jackson's estate wanted to know state of tour finances when Jackson died. Trell said the report was requested by the Estate after a series of meetings after Michael's death.
"The purpose of the meeting was to wind up the business affairs of the tour due to Michael's death", Trell said. "It was my understating in June Tohme was back in the picture in some capacity. I'm not sure which, Mr. DiLeo was in it too," Trell said
Bina: "Is there any request for payment?"
Trell: "No, there's no demand for payment, it's for review"
Stebbins Bina asked about the inclusion of Murray's fee in the document. Bina showed the report that was attached to the letter. Murray's fee on the document had a footnote. Trell read what that footnote said, and explained why estate wasn't asked for Murray's fee. Next to "Management Medical" there's a reference to footnote 3.
Note 3: 'Contract is not signed by Michael Jackson and such signature was condition precedent to any payment obligation' - Footnote on Murray fee.
Trell testified Webking, the CFO for AEG, did not ask Michael's Estate for payment of Dr. Murray's salary
"You testified you were somewhat confused (by the inclusion of the $300,000)?", Bina asked Trell as she projected the list, dated July 17, 2009, on a screen for jurors.
"Do you see there's something in parentheses?', Stebbins Bina asked, zooming in to blow up a footnote from AEG CFO Frederick Webking that stated Michael Jackson never signed Murray's contract, so its terms were not enforceable.
"Is Mr. Webking asking the estate to pay?", Stebbins Bina asked Trell. "No", he replied, explaining that upon reflection he believed Mr. Webking was just being 'thorough' by including the $300,000 as a budgeted cost.
"Did Mr. Webking make a mistake as you thought yesterday?",she asked.
"No, he did not", Trell answered
Second report made to the Estate on 9/18/09, there was no amount next to management medical. Stebbins Bina then showed a Sept. 2009 report of This Is It's finances to Michael Jackson's estate. Murray's fee is not listed in that document
Trell went through his job description with AEG. He said he has five lawyers in his department and has worked on thousands of agreements. Trell explained what PMK is -- Person Most Knowledgeable, identified by the company to testify on its behalf. Trell said he didn't know about all the topics he was designated, so he had to do some studying and interviews with people
As to Ortega's contract, Trell said he was aware of a string of emails being at least a part of the original agreement with Kenny.
"When we were done here yesterday, I looked at Kenny Ortega's original agreement," Trell said.
Trell noted he hadn't looked at Ortega's agreement since it was entered into in 2009. Before the afternoon break, Trell and jury were shown Kenny Ortega's tour agreement. It was signed in April 2009. The agreement was three pages of legalese, with several pages of emails attached that confirmed the terms. The first three pages included some paragraphs that described who owned the rights to This Is It content. A large number of emails are part of the agreement as exhibits. Trell said he recalled the emails exchange and admitted again not being proud of forgetting the cover contract portion. Bina showed Ortega's executed contract with everyone's signature on it. Trell said Kenny Ortega was paid after his contract was signed.
Trell, Phillips and Kathy Jorrie were involved in drafting and negotiating the contract with Michael Jackson. For MJ, Trell said Dr. Tohme Tohme and attorneys Dennis Hawk and Peter Lopez represented him. He said there were multiple drafts.
"It's my understanding they were talking to, or at least receiving offers from, a competitive of ours, Live Nation," Trell said.
Trell also said that before signing an agreement with AEG, Jackson had been considering a tour offer from its main competitor, Live Nation.
Bina showed the jury the final tour agreement. Trell said he went to MJ's home at Carolwood to sign it. Upon arrival, Trell said Mr. Jackson got up from where he was seated, and said 'Hi, welcome, I'm Michael." Trell said it was pretty funny, since he was a very distinct person. Trell said they shook hands, he had a good firm handshake and his voice was not what people think
"He popped up, came over, introduced himself, was very cordial, there was a real positive energy, good vibe in the room," Trell said. "He seemed genuinely enthused," Trell added. "He had the contract in front of him, said he read every page, seemed very enthused." Trell said they all signed it and Mr. Jackson was really keen on the 3-D stuff, that he was already down the road in his mind. "I was probably there just a little less than an hour. And that was the only time I met him," Trell recalled.
Bina discussed the contract for the tour agreement:
A first class performance by Artist at each show on each of the approved itineraries. Contract:
Artist shall perform no less than 80 minutes at each show, and the maximum show length for each show shall be 3.5 hours. Artist shall approve a sufficient number of shows on itineraries proposed by promoter or producer as to recoup the advances made.
Trell said compensation was agreed on 90-10 split. Artist received 90% of what's defined contingent compensation.
Trell explained to jury how concerts get paid for. One scenario is artist pays for production up front. A second scenario is that the promoter gives artist an advance, and then they use the money to put together the show. The third option, Trell said, is the artist pays someone like AEG Live to produce and promote the show, with costs to come out of their pay. Trell called the second and third option like an interest-free loan. In Jackson's case, AEG agreed to a 90/10 split of show's proceeds. Jackson would have received the 90% portion, Trell said. Jackson was also on the hook for a 5% production fee
AEG Live was promoter & producer.
"We advanced the money necessary to mount the tour," Trell explained. "It's interest free money".
Trell testified that Jackson's advance, which covered his $100,000-a-month rent on his mansion and a $3-million payment to settle a lawsuit that would free up his performance rights, was considered a loan to be paid back to AEG.
Part of the advance was to pay off the settlement agreement of $3 million in London court. The underlying dispute was that a company owned the rights for Jackson's live performance.
"The rights needed to be freed up," Trell said.
The advances were to be paid back to AEG Live before the split of revenue. Production Advances were capped to $7.5 million. Contract:
Artist was responsible for all the production costs in excess of the cap and had to reimburse promoter.
"Michael Jackson was known to have very elaborate productions," Trell said. "Production values can get significant, for lack of a better word, it really depends on how many bells and whistles they want," Trell said.
Trell said AEG would not advance money without the artist requesting it.
Trell said it's not only typical and customary, but standard and artist needs to secure either non-appearance or cancellation insurance. Their interest in the policy, Trell said, was to cover the advances and production costs incurred with the production of the show.
"If the were no obligations to AEG, the payout would go back to the artist", Trell explained, "It just recoups our loan made to the artist."
Trell was also asked about elements of tour insurance policies and an agreement with former manager Tohme Tohme. Jackson's contract called for him to represent to AEG that he didn't have any health conditions that would keep him from performing.
Contract:
Artistco hereby represents and warrants that artist does not possess any known health conditions, injuries or ailments that would reasonable be expected to interfere with Artist's first class performance at each of the shows during the term
Oh Tohme's $100k per month agreement, Trell was shown a January contract that Jackson signed to pay that amount. However, Trell said Tohme's agreement was predicated on Jackson getting tour cancellation insurance by a certain date. Deadline passed and by that point Tohme was no longer Jackson's manager, so he wasn't entitled to be paid his monthly fee.
January 24, 2009 -- agreement entered with Dr. Tohme Tohme. Trell said Michael was involved and signed this agreement. "This agreement was entered into January 26, Trell testified.
"There are conditions that needed to be met before any payment could be made."
One of the the conditions was placement of non-appearance insurance, Trell said. That placement was done in late April, early May. In May, AEG received letter from MJ saying Tohme didn't rep him anymore.
"No payments were ever made under this agreement," Trell explained.
