Embroiled in protracted, acrimonious child custody proceedings with her former spouse, Larisa Bergeron (appellant) sued psychologist and family court child custody evaluator Robert Boyd, Ph.D. (respondent) for breach of contract, negligence, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The acts complained of included the issuance of an interim custody order that restricted appellant's access to her children.
Respondent demurred to the complaint, asserting that the conduct complained of was protected by the common law privilege for quasi-judicial acts and by the litigation privilege. (Civ.Code, § 47.) Both in the trial court and on appeal, appellant contends respondent was without jurisdiction to issue such an order, and thus, the act of doing so was not privileged.[1] The trial court agreed that the quasi-judicial privilege applied, and sustained the demurrer without leave to amend on that basis. We affirm.
Our standard of review of a trial court's ruling
sustaining a demurrer is governed by well settled principles. " A demurrer
tests the sufficiency of a complaint as a matter of law. [Citation.]"
Page 881
(Hale v. Sharp Healthcare (2010) 183 Cal.App.4th 1373, 1379, 108 Cal.Rptr.3d 669.) Accordingly, we review the trial court's ruling de novo, exercising our independent judgment. ( Ibid .; Lazar v. Hertz Corp . (1999) 69 Cal.App.4th 1494, 1501, 82 Cal.Rptr.2d 368.) " ' The judgment must be affirmed " if any one of the several grounds of demurrer is well taken. [Citations.]" [Citation.] However, it is error for a trial court to sustain a demurrer when the plaintiff has stated a cause of action under any possible legal theory. [Citation.] And it is an abuse of discretion to sustain a demurrer without leave to amend if the plaintiff shows there is a reasonable possibility any defect identified by the defendant [167 Cal.Rptr.3d 428] can be cured by amendment.' [Citation.]" ( Hale v. Sharp Healthcare, supra, at p. 1379, 108 Cal.Rptr.3d 669.)
As we stated recently in La Serena Properties, LLC v. Weisbach (2010) 186 Cal.App.4th 893, 112 Cal.Rptr.3d 597 ( Weisbach ), " [w]hen considering an appeal from a judgment entered after the trial court sustained a demurrer without leave to amend, we ' accept as true all well-pleaded facts in the complaint and give a reasonable construction to the complaint as a whole.' ( Animal Legal Defense Fund v. Mendes (2008) 160 Cal.App.4th 136, 140, fn. 1 [72 Cal.Rptr.3d 553]..., citing Blank v. Kirwan (1985) 39 Cal.3d 311, 318, 216 Cal.Rptr. 718 [703 P.2d 58]....) In addition, we may consider matters that are properly the subject of judicial notice, and were considered by the trial court. ( Buesa v. City of Los Angeles (2009) 177 Cal.App.4th 1537, 1543[100 Cal.Rptr.3d 86]....)" ( Weisbach, supra, at p. 897, 112 Cal.Rptr.3d 597.)
Our factual summary is derived from appellant's complaint, and the matters judicially noticed, specifically, certain pleadings and the transcript from the January 25, 2011 hearing (January 25 hearing) in the underlying Alameda County Superior Court family law action captioned Bergeron v. Bergeron (2010, No. VF10518920). ( Holland v. Morse Diesel Internat., Inc . (2001) 86 Cal.App.4th 1443, 1447, 104 Cal.Rptr.2d 239.) [2]

Appellant's original complaint against respondent was filed on February 3, 2012. It alleged causes of action for breach of contract, negligence, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Respondent filed a demurrer to that complaint on the grounds that the acts complained of were privileged both under the quasi-judicial and litigation privileges. The demurrer was sustained on both grounds. However, the trial court granted appellant leave to amend her complaint.
A first amended complaint (FAC) was filed on August 6, 2012, again stating the same three causes of action against respondent. More specifically, the FAC alleged that appellant and her estranged spouse were engaged in a " contentious" marital dissolution and custody dispute which involved their two young children. As part of those proceedings, the family law court ordered the parties to retain a child custody evaluator who could conduct an evaluation relating to the issue of custody, and make recommendations to the court. As a result, respondent was hired to perform unbiased testing of the parties, toxicology tests when necessary, and to produce a report. This custody evaluation was to be performed " under the guise of being appointed a Court retained expert pursuant to California Evidence Code section 730." Respondent was paid $4,000 by each side for these services. However, instead of preparing a professional, unbiased evaluation, the FAC alleged that respondent [167 Cal.Rptr.3d 429] failed in six enumerated ways to perform as promised, including his failure " to be appointed as the Court's expert under Evidence Code section 730...."
In addition to the alleged misconduct concerning the preparation of the custody evaluation, the FAC also alleged that respondent " usurp[ed] the actual lawful authority of the Court by issuing what he called ' interim child custody orders.' " Because of this misfeasance, appellant alleged that she was deprived of contact with her minor children for almost seven months, or until the court " reversed" the respondent's orders.
As a result of respondent's alleged misconduct, the FAC alleged appellant suffered extreme emotional distress; incurred costs in hiring a visitation supervisor during the six months she was deprived of unsupervised visitation with her children; and suffered monetary damages consisting of legal fees and expenses, and lost wages.
Respondent filed a demurrer to the FAC asserting again the quasi-judicial and litigation privileges as absolute defenses to the claims. At respondent's request, the trial court took judicial notice of the pleadings in the underlying
Page 883
family law case. One such pleading in the family law matter was a minute order following the January 25 hearing at which the parties were specifically ordered by the family law judge to comply with any interim orders to be issued by respondent.
The hearing transcript from that session, which was also judicially noticed, reflects a discussion concerning appellant's visitation schedule. Appellant argued that she was effectively being denied visitation with her children because the existing visitation schedule gave her custody between 5:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and her new work schedule prevented her from being able to visit her children during the daytime.
In light of appellant's work schedule, the trial judge concluded in the meantime that appellant should have custody on weekends. However, the court made several references to the court-authorized power of respondent to issue further orders modifying the visitation schedule pending a future review by the family law court of the issue. At one point, the court stated this authority more explicitly: " ... The authority for [respondent] to modify the custody orders remains in effect. If he decides to make interim orders that are at variance with what I'm about to do, he retains that authority. And that means you need to comply with any interim modifications to custody he may communicate, or come back to court and ask that I look at what his interim orders are. All right. So I want to be clear about that. So if he's at the house and it causes him concern this weekend[ [3]] and he says, ' I don't think the children should be there overnight,' then everyone has to understand that you're going to comply with that, pending further court orders."
Nothing in the record indicates that appellant objected to the original appointment of respondent, nor to the apparent authority given to him to issue interim custody orders. Furthermore, at no point during the January 25 hearing did appellant object to respondent's authority to continue issuing interim custody orders modifying custody.
A final custody order was not filed until February 14, 2012. Between January 2011, and the issuance of the order, the [167 Cal.Rptr.3d 430] court conducted at least eight hearings on the subject of custody.[4] During that 13-month period, appellant made no attempt to set aside any interim custody order by respondent. While
Page 884
the matter originally had been submitted on September 29, 2011, additional testimony and arguments of counsel were subsequently heard, and the matter was not finally submitted until October 19, 2011.
The February 14, 2012 custody order is contained in a 19-page statement of decision. Much of the recitation of the court's findings are not relevant to the sole issue now raised on appeal. The order granted the parties joint legal custody of their two minor children. In order to avoid potential disagreements about the timing and circumstances of physical custody, the statement of decision detailed how the parties were to divide the time of physical custody, including provisions for custody during school days, overnights, vacations, holidays, and access by telephone.
After briefing relating to respondent's demurrer to the FAC was completed, the court issued a tentative ruling sustaining the demurrer without leave to amend, again on the grounds that the acts complained of were privileged under the quasi-judicial privilege. Appellant filed a written objection to the tentative ruling on December 12, 2012. While her objection included the statement that if " the Court is incline [ sic ] to grant the demurrer, than [ sic ] I do seek leave of court to amend the pleadings," appellant offered no suggestion as to how she might amend the complaint to state a legally cognizable claim against respondent.
The demurrer to the FAC was sustained in an order dated December 13, 2012, this time without leave to amend. This timely appeal followed.
A. The Common Law Privilege for Quasi-Judicial Acts Applies to Immunize Respondent from Appellant's Claims
The principle case authority discussing the evolution of the common law quasi-judicial privilege in California, and one factually similar to the instant case, is Howard v. Drapkin (1990) 222 Cal.App.3d 843, 271 Cal.Rptr. 893 ( Howard ). In Howard, the defendant was a psychologist who was sued by a disgruntled parent/family court litigant after performing a child custody evaluation. After tracing the history and rationale for the common law development of a quasi-judicial privilege, the Court of Appeal concluded that persons performing acts that are judicial in nature are protected by the
Page 885
privilege. In making this determination, the court emphasized that it is the act performed, not the title of the person performing it, which is determinative: " So also, in determining whether a person is acting in a quasi-judicial fashion, the courts look at ' the nature of the duty performed [to determine] whether it is a judicial act— not the name or classification of the officer who performs it, and many who are properly classified as executive officers are invested with limited judicial powers.' ( Pearson v. Reed [ (1935) ] 6 Cal.App.2d [277,] 286-287, 44 P.2d 592.)" [167 Cal.Rptr.3d 431] ( Howard, supra, at p. 853, 271 Cal.Rptr. 893.)
Turning to the function of the family law custody evaluator in that case, the Howard court rejected the plaintiff's attempt to analogize the action to one for professional malpractice: " In contrast, the psychologist who is mediating a child custody dispute, whether by court appointment or not, is not an advocate for either parent, even if paid by them. [Citation.] The job of third parties such as mediators, conciliators and evaluators involves impartiality and neutrality, as does that of a judge, commissioner or referee; hence, there should be entitlement to the same immunity given others who function as neutrals in an attempt to resolve disputes. In a sense, those persons are similar to a judge who is handling a voluntary or mandatory settlement conference, no matter whether they are (1) making binding decisions (such as referees acting pursuant to Code Civ. Proc., § 638, subd. (1), and arbitrators), (2) making recommendations to the court (such as referees acting under Code Civ. Proc., § 639 or mediators acting under Civ.Code, § 4607), or (3) privately attempting to settle disputes, such as the defendant here. [¶] We therefore hold that absolute quasi-judicial immunity is properly extended to these neutral third parties for their conduct in performing dispute resolution services which are connected to the judicial process and involve either (1) the making of binding decisions, (2) the making of findings or recommendations to the court or (3) the arbitration, mediation, conciliation, evaluation or other similar resolution of pending disputes. As the defendant was clearly engaged in this latter activity, she is entitled to the protection of such quasi-judicial immunity." ( Howard, supra, 222 Cal.App.3d at pp. 859-860, 271 Cal.Rptr. 893.)
Recently, this court applied the quasi-judicial privilege to a private arbitrator who allegedly failed to disclose a potentially disqualifying conflict of interest. ( Weisbach, supra, 186 Cal.App.4th 893, 112 Cal.Rptr.3d 597.) In so holding, we accepted the underlying rationale in Howard that in determining whether absolute immunity applies to the conduct of a public or private arbitrator, courts must look at the nature of the duty performed, and not to the name or classification of the person who performs it. ( Id. at p. 901, 112 Cal.Rptr.3d 597.)
More recently, in McClintock v. West (2013) 219 Cal.App.4th 540, 162 Cal.Rptr.3d 61 ( McClintock ), our colleagues in the Fourth District Court of Appeal affirmed the application of the quasi-judicial privilege to immunize a
Page 886
guardian ad litem appointed in a family law case from claims of negligence, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Like here, in McClintock, a guardian ad litem, who was appointed by the court to represent the interests of one of the parties to a divorce proceeding, was sued when the guardian's actions allegedly resulted in financial losses and the loss of custody of the conservatee's children.
The McClintock court affirmed the sustaining of a demurrer to the complaint without leave to amend, largely following the rationale of Howard. In so doing, the court reflected rhetorically on some of the very same public policy considerations that supported application of the privilege in Howard, and which are equally applicable here: " If [the guardian] had known she might be subject to liability for causes of action ranging from negligence to intentional interference with prospective economic advantage, resulting in the potential for years of litigation and financial liability greater than her entire fee for handling [167 Cal.Rptr.3d 432] the case, would she have ever agreed to the appointment? Why would any qualified person ever accept appointment as a guardian ad litem when his or her decisions could be subject to such post hoc second guessing? [¶] Moreover, in addition to the difficulty of finding anyone to accept such an assignment, the risk of liability could impact how the guardian ad litem carried out her role. As we discussed ante, the guardian ad litem does not advocate for her ward in the way an attorney does— her job is acting in the ward's best interests, and the ward might not always agree with the guardian ad litem's decisions. Her ability to act would be compromised if the threat of future liability encouraged a guardian ad litem to put a ward's wishes above his interests. ( Howard, supra, 222 Cal.App.3d at pp. 853, 857 [271 Cal.Rptr. 893].)" ( McClintock, supra, 219 Cal.App.4th at pp. 551-552, 162 Cal.Rptr.3d 61, italics omitted.)
Nevertheless, appellant here contends that only judicial officers may issue custody orders under state law, and respondent was utterly without jurisdiction in doing so. Therefore, no judicial privilege for quasi-judicial conduct can attach to acts lacking in lawful jurisdiction.
We agree that the family law court has the sole power to determine whether visitation will occur. ( Ruisi v. Thieriot (1997) 53 Cal.App.4th 1197, 1208-1209, 62 Cal.Rptr.2d 766; In re Marriage of Matthews (1980) 101 Cal.App.3d 811, 817, 161 Cal.Rptr. 879.) However, even accepting appellant's argument that the family court exceeded its legal authority, or even jurisdiction, to delegate custody supervision to respondent, that does not vitiate application of the quasi-judicial privilege.
In its decision in Howard, the court pointed out the need that judicial immunity be broad and applicable to all judicially-related actions regardless of whether the judicial officer exceeded his or her legal authority or jurisdiction to act: " The concept of judicial immunity is long-standing and absolute,
Page 887
with its roots in English common law. It bars civil actions against judges for acts performed in the exercise of their judicial functions and it applies to all judicial determinations, including those rendered in excess of the judge's jurisdiction, no matter how erroneous or even malicious or corrupt they may be. [Citations.] The judge is immune unless ' he [ sic ] has acted in the clear absence of all jurisdiction. [Citations.]' [Citation.]" ( Howard, supra, 222 Cal.App.3d at pp. 851-852, 271 Cal.Rptr. 893, fn. omitted.)
As the Howard court explained later in its opinion, it is the function being exercised by the immunized individual that is the focus of the privilege's application and not the status or capacity of the individual that controls. ( Howard, supra, 222 Cal.App.3d at pp. 853-855, 271 Cal.Rptr. 893.) The reasons for doing so are clear: " We are persuaded that the approach of the federal courts is consistent with the relevant policy considerations of attracting to an overburdened judicial system the independent and impartial services and expertise upon which that system necessarily depends. Thus, we believe it appropriate that these ' nonjudicial persons who fulfill quasi-judicial functions intimately related to the judicial process' [citation] should be given absolute quasi-judicial immunity for damage claims arising from their performance of duties in connection with the judicial process. Without such immunity, such persons will be reluctant to accept court appointments or provide work product for the courts' use. Additionally, the threat of civil liability may affect the manner in which they perform their jobs. [Citation.]" ( Id. at p. 857, 271 Cal.Rptr. 893; see also [167 Cal.Rptr.3d 433] McClintock, supra, 219 Cal.App.4th at pp. 551-552, 162 Cal.Rptr.3d 61, italics omitted; Weisbach, supra, 186 Cal.App.4th at p. 901, 112 Cal.Rptr.3d 597 [applying quasi-judicial immunity to private arbitrators necessary for principled and fearless decision-making, and to avoid intimidation caused by the fear of liability arising out of the exercise of arbitral functions].)
In Greene v. Zank (1984) 158 Cal.App.3d 497, 506, 204 Cal.Rptr. 770 ( Greene ), the issue was whether California State Bar officials who failed to allow the plaintiff admission into the bar could be sued for civil rights violations. In affirming a dismissal following the sustaining of defendants' demurrer to plaintiff's complaint, the appellate court noted that the " absence of all jurisdiction" is tested, not by the status of the individual performing the challenged act, but by whether the act itself is one " normally performed by a judge." ( Id. at p. 507, 204 Cal.Rptr. 770.) " Thus, it is well settled that judges and those performing ' judge-like' functions are absolutely immune from [42 United States Code] section 1983 damage liability for acts performed in their judicial capacities. [Citations.]" ( Id. at p. 508, 204 Cal.Rptr. 770, fn.omitted.)
Appellant concedes that the act of issuing child custody orders is a judicial function. (Fam.Code, § 3022.) Therefore, delegating that judicial authority to another, even if in excess of the delegating judge's power to do
Page 888
so, cloaks the delegate with the same immunity available to the delegating judge when that ostensible authority is exercised.
The very recent case of Christina C. v. County of Orange (2013) 220 Cal.App.4th 1371, 164 Cal.Rptr.3d 43 ( Christina C. ) is instructive. There, a civil action was brought by a mother and her 10-year-old child against certain employees of the county's social services agency (SSA) involved in the removal of the child her mother's custody. In affirming summary judgment in favor of the SSA workers who had been sued individually, the court rejected the plaintiffs' contention that the child's removal resulted from an improper delegation of the juvenile court's authority: " Mother suggests on appeal that the trial court improperly delegated its authority in these important matters to SSA, including the authority to end the CRISP [Conditional Release to Intensive Supervision Program] and place C.C. with father. But mother offered no challenge in the dependency proceedings to the trial court's delegation, and doing so now does not aid her in this civil lawsuit against SSA.... [T]he key consideration pertinent to this appeal is that nothing implicates SSA and its social workers in plaintiffs' belated complaint about the court's allegedly improper delegation of placement authority. Presumably plaintiffs did not sue the dependency court because of judicial immunity. (See, e.g., Howard [, supra, ] 222 Cal.App.3d [at p.] 851[271 Cal.Rptr. 893] [' The concept of judicial immunity is long-standing and absolute' ].) But that does not furnish a basis to sue SSA or its social workers acting under delegated judicial authority." ( Christina C., supra, 220 Cal.App.4th at p. 1380, 164 Cal.Rptr.3d 43.)
This case comes to us in a similar posture as the case of Christina C. It is clear from the January 25 hearing transcript that the family court judge not only confirmed that respondent had the authority to issue interim custody orders prior to the hearing, but also extended that authority into the future pending completion of the court's own review of the matter. Appellant offered no objection to these statements and pronouncements, nor did she ever seek to set aside respondent's interim custody order at any time over the 13 months during which respondent was supervising [167 Cal.Rptr.3d 434] the court's underlying custody order, and despite there being eight separate hearings in the family law court at any one of which the issue could have been raised. Under these circumstances, appellant's belated attempt to question whether respondent was properly acting under delegated judicial authority should be rejected, just as it was in Christina C.
In conclusion, we find the primary case authority relied on by appellant for the proposition that quasi-judicial immunity does not apply in the absence of legal jurisdiction is factually inapposite. In fact, that authority contains language strongly supporting respondent's position. In that case,
Page 889
Jamgotchian v. Slender (2009) 170 Cal.App.4th 1384, 89 Cal.Rptr.3d 122 ( Jamgotchian ), the question was whether a racing horse steward could be sued for trespass to chattels by refusing the owner access to his horse, and instead requiring the horse to race against the wishes of the owner. ( Id. at p. 1387, 89 Cal.Rptr.3d 122.) During the race, the horse was injured. ( Id. at p. 1392, 89 Cal.Rptr.3d 122.) On appeal from a grant of summary judgment for the horse steward, the appellate court found that a triable issue of fact existed as to whether the defendant had intentionally interfered with the plaintiff's right to possession of the horse. ( Id. at pp. 1401-1402, 89 Cal.Rptr.3d 122.)
In rejecting a number of defenses urged by the horse steward, the court held that if the horse steward prevented the owner from maintaining possession and control of the horse, such conduct would have been outside the scope of the horse steward's authority. Consequently, the court held the undisputed facts did not establish the horse steward was entitled to the protection of quasi-judicial immunity if he committed a trespass to chattel. ( Jamgotchian, supra, 170 Cal.App.4th at p. 1400, 89 Cal.Rptr.3d 122.) In so holding, the court noted: " ' " [T]he factors determining whether an act by a judge is a ' judicial' one relate to the nature of the act itself, i.e., whether it is a function normally performed by a judge, and to the expectations of the parties, i.e., whether they dealt with the judge in his judicial capacity." [Citation.] A judge is not deprived of immunity because the action he [or she] took was in error, was done maliciously, or was in excess of his [or her] authority; rather, a judge will be subject to liability only when he [ sic ] has acted in the clear absence of all jurisdiction. [Citations.]' ( Greene [, supra, ] 158 Cal.App.3d [at pp.] 507-508[204 Cal.Rptr. 770]....)" ( Jamgotchian, supra, at p. 1400, 89 Cal.Rptr.3d 122.)
In this case, all of the actions complained of were well within respondent's judicially delegated role as a family court child custody evaluator, whether or not such delegation was legally authorized, and in the absence of any objection by appellant. Accordingly, respondent was not functioning in the " clear absence of all jurisdiction" like the horse steward in Jamgotchian. (170 Cal.App.4th at p. 1400, 89 Cal.Rptr.3d 122.) Consequently, he is entitled to absolute quasi-judicial immunity.
For all of these reasons, the trial court correctly sustained respondent's demurrer on the ground that the wrongful acts alleged were immunized by the common law quasi-judicial privilege.
B. The Trial Court Did Not Abuse Its Discretion in Sustaining the Demurrer Without Leave to Amend
As to appellant's claim that the court nevertheless erred in not allowing her leave to amend, as we have noted, no request was made by appellant in the
Page 890
trial court for leave to amend, nor did she explain how her FAC could be amended to [167 Cal.Rptr.3d 435] avoid dismissal by demurrer. We recognize, however, that the failure to make such a request is not dispositive if the showing is made on appeal. ( Rakestraw v. California Physicians' Service (2000) 81 Cal.App.4th 39, 43, 96 Cal.Rptr.2d 354 ( Rakestraw ).)
Appellant has the burden to demonstrate " there is a reasonable possibility the defect in the pleading can be cured by amendment. [Citation.] ' " ... Plaintiff must show in what manner he can amend his complaint and how that amendment will change the legal effect of his pleading...." [Citation.]' [Citation.]" ( Palm Springs Tennis Club v. Rangel (1999) 73 Cal.App.4th 1, 7-8, 86 Cal.Rptr.2d 73; Rakestraw, supra, 81 Cal.App.4th at p. 44, 96 Cal.Rptr.2d 354 [" Where the appellant offers no allegations to support the possibility of amendment and no legal authority showing the viability of new causes of action, there is no basis for finding the trial court abused its discretion when it sustained the demurrer without leave to amend" ].)
First, appellant claims that respondent's demurrer only affected the negligence cause of action pleaded in her FAC, and she should be free to pursue her breach of contract and intentional infliction of emotional distress claims. This is incorrect. The demurrer was filed as to each and every cause of action pled in the FAC. Appellant offers no argument or authority that these claims, which are based on the same facts and allegation of misconduct, were improvidently dismissed on the basis of the quasi-judicial privilege.
In her opening brief, appellant also suggests it was error not to allow her leave to amend her FAC and allege a claim for civil rights violation (42 U.S.C. § 1983). The basis for this contention is that respondent was acting under color of California law in issuing an interim custody order and this act was without jurisdiction and in violation of appellant's due process right under the federal constitution.
Because we conclude that respondent's acts were not unlawful and in the " clear absence of all jurisdiction," he did not deny appellant due process. (See Greene, supra, 158 Cal.App.3d at p. 507, 204 Cal.Rptr. 770, citing Supreme Court of Va. v. Consumers Union (1980) 446 U.S. 719, 734-735, 100 S.Ct. 1967, 64 L.Ed.2d 641.) Having failed to carry her burden to make a showing how the complaint might be amended to avoid the defenses raised by respondent, we must conclude there was no error in sustaining the demurrer without leave to amend. ( Westamerica Bank v. City of Berkeley (2011) 201 Cal.App.4th 598, 613-614, 133 Cal.Rptr.3d 883.)

In order to improve the optical absorption of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin film solar cells, a new structure consisted of ITO layer with the nonresonant nanoparticles embedded in it and a-Si:H layer, is proposed. By optimizing both the thickness of a-Si:H layer and nanoparticles size, the effects of Fabry-Perot resonance and the scattering of incident light are discussed and analyzed. It is demonstrated that the enhanced optical absorption can be achieved due to the coupling of incident light and nanostructure, simultaneously the proposed structure can be considered as gradient refractive index structure to restrain the reflection at the interface of ITO and a-Si:H thin film.

US law firm poaches two buyout specialists
Kirkland & Ellis has become the latest US law firm to boost its UK private equity team, hiring two partners from London-based rival Ashurst whose clients have included some of the highest-profile names in the buyout industry.
Gavin Gordon and David Arnold have joined Kirkland & Ellis as partners, according to a statement.
Gordon became a partner at Ashurst in 2007 while Arnold became a partner in 2009. Both have worked on some of the private equity industry's highest-profile transactions in recent years, with Gordon advising on the restructuring of gaming group Gala Coral and the restructuring of UK estate agent Countrywide.
Arnold worked on buyout firm Candover Partners' £553m (€665m) sale of Wood Mackenzie to Charterhouse Capital Partners a year ago and Apax Partners' $830m (€679m) buyout of information technology company Sophos last month.
James Learner, a partner in Kirkland's London office, said he hoped the recruits would bring their clients to the firm.
Gordon and Arnold have taken gardening leave from Ashurst, according to an Ashurst spokesman. It remains unclear when they will begin their new roles. Ashurst said it had no plans to replace the pair.
The hires follow a spate of moves from UK to US law firms. Research last September by legal recruiter Hughes-Castell showed lawyers at US firms typically earn more than their UK rivals. A study of 150 commercial law firms found top earners at New York rate paying firms typically received £145,500 (€174,484), compared with £97,000 at UK City firms.
US firms also generally use a merit-based compensation structure where they reward their lawyers according to the business they generate for the company, according to John Van de North, a partner at O'Melveny & Myers. UK firms tend to use a lockstep structure, by which they usually increase lawyers' pay according to how long they have worked at the firm.
The Hughes-Castell study said: "Like most UK City firms, New York rate paying firms have frozen their salary bands. However, unlike most UK City firms very few New York rate paying firms have failed to matriculate their lawyers up into the next year of lockstep which again makes them relatively more competitive against their UK City firm rivals."
US firms have made efforts in recent months to grow their UK private equity teams. In October, US law firm Ropes & Gray said it would open its first European office in London in an effort to grab part of the acquisition finance advisory market. The firm hired three partners to advise on financing leveraged buyouts out of London: ex-Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer partners Maurice Allen and Mike Goetz and White & Case's Jonathan Bloom.
In September, New York-based law firm Proskauer Rose said it would also attempt to break into Europe's competitive private equity advisory scene with the hire of Bob Barry from private equity-focused law firm Travers Smith.
Other US firms who have succeeded in hiring senior finance partners from UK firms include Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, which a year ago hired Adam Signy from London-based Clifford Chance. Simpson also hired former Allen & Overy partner Tony Keal in 2005.

Just another okay meal here in London. I'm not sure why it's so difficult to find good simple and delicious meals these days.
I was walking around Piccadilly Circus and thought it was time I stop and get some dinner, especially since I was beginning to rain. I wasn't sure where to go and I happen to come upon this place. I had read some decent reviews here on vt so I thought I'd check it out.
The interior of the restaurant is quite nice. It's large and decorated with simple touches like the nice large chandelier hanging from the center of the restaurant of the universe. The restaurant itself is a nice size. There are plenty of tables on the main level with a bar area with more seating. There is also a lower level dinning area.
I decided to sit in the main dinning area near the windows facing the street. The waitress came over with the menu and took my drink order. She brought over a nice basket of bread with olive oil and some black olives as well as my glass of wine and took my order. I decided to try the gnocchi with meat sauce. A few minutes later she returned with my meal. The gnocchi was okaby, but the sauce was lacking any flavor could have used some spices or even a bit of salt. The sauce was watery and tasteless, so a bit of cheese actually did the job.
With plenty of other places to eat, I think I'd give this place a skip next time around.
There was nothing fantastic about the meal, not bad, just not great!
Favorite Dish I ordered the gnoochi with meat sauce.
How difficult it is to make a simple dish as gnocchi? While the gnocchi was good, the sauce was too watery!! The sauce was tastless and watery with no substance whatsoever. I had to quite a bit of salt and cheese to make the meal tastier!
UPDATE February 2011: the restaurant is closed for refurbishment so check the website below before making a special journey here.
This is a welcoming Italian restaurant in a great location for London's theatre land, and much better than the average offering at this price and in that area. The décor is attractive, with warm Tuscan colours, and the service attentive and friendly. I've visited several times now – the first with the friend who introduced me to it (VT's own Jenniflower) and on other occasions with my husband and various other friends, and enjoyed my meal every time, especially my main course choices (e.g. home-made pasta triangles with a pesto sauce on the first occasion, mushroom risotto on the second). There's also a good and reasonably priced wine list - I can recommend the Valpolicello.
The restaurant can be busy in the early part of the evening but gets a lot quieter after 7.00 or so when people start to leave for the theatre.
Evening meal deals - 2 courses for £10.95, 3 courses £13.95 - for a nice choice of mains and desserts
Favorite Dish The fried pork fillet - very nice. The Tiramisu was almost as good as my good Italian friend's home made tiramisu - but not quite!
This was my 2nd visit to Galileo, the 1st time was when we "katnapped" Kat (keida84) on her 1st trip to London in January 2006 and had a lovely meal with Jen (Jenniflower) before heading off to see The Phantom of the Opera. We thought this was a good central location to have another small girls night out on our return visit in January 2008 with Jen (Jenniflower), Sue (sue_stone), Iris (iris2002), Jo (jo104), Angie (angiebabe) and a couple of out of town visitors, Gillian (gillianmclaughlin) and Carl (camcorderman).
The location is excellent for a pre theater dinner for those theaters located along Haymarket, it's just down the street from the madness of Piccadilly Circus, try to locate the Haymarket exit from the tube station so you don't wander in a circle outside trying to locate the right street like we did.
We stayed for several hours and didn't feel rushed, I know that's more of an American phenomenon to try and turn tables quickly but I always appreciate it when it happens even abroad.
Favorite Dish I was really feeling the exchange rate on this trip, at practically 2£ for 1$, I appreciated being able to find good food at a non chain restaurant for reasonable prices, especially given the touristy nature of this area. I ordered the Tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms and cream (£8.95) and the tiramisu (£5.95), both were good and the portion sizes adequate.
The menu is Tuscan Italian, lots of meat, fish, pasta and pizza selections, many under £10. You can also order off the set menu, 2 courses for £9.95, 3 courses for £13.95, any time of the day, not just pre theater.
I met up with some VT friends one evening for a meal at Galileo's Locanda Toscana. The restaurant is located on Haymarket, just down the hill from Piccadilly Circus, and is a convenient place for theatre goers who want something a little more upmarket than the neighbouring chain restaurants.
I found the look of the place didn't quiet match the prices, and thought the atmosphere was perhaps better suited to a quick pre-theatre meal than a leisurely dinner. That said, it was still an enjoyable experience due to the lovely company.
Service from the Italian staff was good for the most part - our main server was smiley and helpful, but an older waitress scowled fiercely as she plonked our water glasses on the table.
Favorite Dish To eat, I had the Scaloppina Milanese (aromatic breaded veal escalope) which was served with potatoes and courgettes (zucchini). The portion was generous and flavours good. Dessert was the Tiramisu with Vin Santo - the Vin Santo was in the tiramisu, though I had been hopeful that a glass of it would turn up instead.
Their motto is: "Simple, seasonal, inventive Tuscan cuisine" and that describes it exactly.
'Opened by modern day Renaissance man and long established figure in the London restaurant scene, Stefano Fraquelli, in 1997, Galileo's is the result of Stefano's desire to bring the exquisite cuisine of Italy's richest region to the heart of the West End. ' - quote nabbed from their website!
It caters for the pre-theatre crown (specifically those going to see The Phantom of the Opera (like us!!!!)) which is literally across the road (King Charles Rd to be more exact haha).
Favorite Dish I had a SPAGHETTI ALLA CARBONARA for £7.85 and was well pleased with the taste and portion size. Many Italian restaurants tend to make the portions too big and they give a perfect portion.
For dessert I had GELATI - a selection of premium Italian ice cream. YUMMMMMMMMMMMY!!!!!
I have since been back here twice, once with my brother, sister and hubby, and then again with VT member toonsarah.
Both times were once again thoroughly enkoyable, attention was good, but not too intrusive, the food was yummy and we didnt feel rushed. (which one does sometimes in these pre-theatre restaurants...).
A quick tip: Most pre-theatre restaurants (ie: most restaurants close to a theatre), have a rush before 7pm, and then quieten down after 7:30 - when the theatre shows start.
So if you do not have a reservation, best to pitch up after 7:30pm.
Galileo is a large modern Italian restaurant chain. We ate at the one just across the street from Her Majesties Theater on Haymarket. My daughters and I had a wonderful lunch here one visit. Lunch is obviously not the draw, as the restaurant was almost empty. But I've passed by in the evening, before the theaters open their doors and seen it packed.
Favorite Dish I had a butternut ravioli with brown butter sauce and sage that was just delicious. The restaurant was very authentically Italian and service was excellent.
After I had been on an airplane for 10 hours I was ready to get out and see London. Since I was "kat-napped" by my friend Kristi, I had very little say in the matter but I knew food would be her first priority. We arrived at Galileo Ristorante, the atmosphere is casual elegance with a lovely chandelier as a focal point to the upstairs restaurant. There were quite a few patrons in the restaurant espeically for a Thursday evening. There is also a larger part of the restaurant downstairs for group events and parties. The restaurant is local to many of the nice theatres in the district and they are a perfect for pre-theatre dinner.
Favorite Dish I had the Pizza Margharita, it was very very good. I always judge a restaurant in their selections of dessert, if they are not fantastic then I do not consider it to be a great restaurant. There was a unique item on the Galileo menu that I enjoyed-- an orange chocolate mousse. When it was served I almost, now mind you almost, did not want to eat it it was so beautifully prepared and presented. I got past that thought quickly and found it to be delightful. It was not too sweet and the pungent flavor of orange was subtle yet satisfying.

From Trae Bee Vegan of Milwaukee, Wisconsin on 11/26/2015.
I have several different Facebook pages, groups and blogs dedicated to helping people live vegan. I try and test A LOT of vegan products. I have to honestly say, this is probably my favorite vegan product I've ever tried! Much better than I expected. It heated up so nicely. Doesn't have a soy taste at all and it's pretty rich in a really pleasant way. Like one of the other reviewers said, the peppermint taste is not overpowering at all and it's perfectly chocolatey. So glad I bought this stuff! Will be buying it again in the very near future. Yay. Score another one for team Vegan (-;
So creamy and delicious!
From Susan A of Madison, Wisconsin on 11/18/2015.
This chocolate peppermint soy milk is on point! Really well-rounded and balanced. It reminds me of a Starbucks peppermint hot chocolate (with almond milk, of course). I will definitely buy more.
From Richard Rankin of La Plata, Missouri on 12/3/2011.
Terrific taste without the peppermint overpowering the chocolate. I wish I had ordered a lot more of these...

Untold Stories of Video Game Remasters – the Good, Bad, and Ugly
In today's video, we discuss something subjective – are video game remasters good or bad? And...
It has been a bumpy ride, some people loved Battlefield 4 while others detested it; either way, the game has a solid fan base and people still want to pour on to the Battlefield 4 CTE to get their hands on new content early. However, that is not going to happen any more.
ELectronic Arts has confirmed that they are not going to add any more content to the Community Test Environment (CTE) any more because they are stopping the development of new content for the game.
What you have had so far was the end of it.
This was revealed by David Sirland, the game producer at DICE LA when he was asked on his Twitter account in he had any updates for the fans on the Battlefield 4 CTE or Battlefield 5. He responded by saying that:
Today I can let you guys know that at this point we don't have any plans to release new content for BF4 to the CTE.
This was followed by a gratuitous thank you note for the community reading "it's been a real journey working with you all in creating unique and awesome experiences together through this [environment]. A huge thank you to all that has been involved and active on the CTE!"
However, he says that there are currently no plans of shutting down the Battlefield 4 CTE and that "the CTE will be up and running." All prototype content including maps is continue to be available on the CTE.
This clearly means that DICE is now focusing on Battlefield 5 which is expected to be set in WWI and be released in October this year. The game is also expected to have high visual quality based on existing geometry.

Hip To The Music –
Friday, May 3rd
Saturday May 4th
This amazing performance film was shot as "an anti-Woodstock film," Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii was shot in October 1971 in a vacant, 2,000-year-old amphitheater – a venue chosen to accentuate the grandeur and spaciousness of the band. The picture quality from Pompeii is revelatory: outstandingly sharp and clear, rich in subtle grades of light and color.
Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii has been described as one of the greatest concert films of all time, perhaps even the single best live performance ever put to film. The recent release of a director's cut showed all Floyd fans that this cannot be improved. The overall response to this release hands down was that the original version is still the finest.
Director and friend Adrian Maben made a visit to Pompeii, he lost his passport, and went back to the amphitheatre he had visited earlier in the day in order to find it. Walking around the deserted ruins, he thought the silence and natural ambient sounds present would make a incredible backdrop for the music. He also felt that filming the band without an audience would be a good reaction to earlier films such as Woodstock and Gimme Shelter, where the films paid equal attention to performers and audiences. Through his contacts at the University of Naples, Maben managed to persuade the local authorities to close the amphitheatre for six days that October for filming.
This amazing film should not be missed. Join us for other Pink Floyd rarities including some with Syd Barrett. These rarely seen clips are amazing and you may not have a chance to see these again. Join us early for some rare music video clips as always.

They're completely incompetent. I've been trying to get a one page form filled out for over a month and no one ever picks up the phone. When they do manage to pick up the phone, no one knows what to do and keeps transferring you to a different department. Yes, it's a community college, but it shouldn't be this hard for someone to take my money.

Webair Carrier Neutral Cloud: Open Network Access in the Cloud(February 28, 2012)
NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 02/28/12 -- Webair, the leader in hosting solutions, today unveiled their Carrier Neutral Cloud Service, offering clients the flexibility and freedom of a cloud hosting environment while providing total control over all network infrastructure and carrier choices. This groundbreaking new service allows transparent access from cloud environments to thousands of transit and transport providers. Clients can now choose any carrier, multiple carriers, or build custom network configurations and tie it all into their own cloud topology.
In the late 1990s, physical data center infrastructure became disassociated from particular carriers. The result was increased competition among carriers, greater consumer choice among business owners, lower bandwidth costs and more reliable services. Then cloud computing came along and businesses were choosing between the computing scalability of the cloud or the network freedom of physical infrastructure. Now, by offering scalable cloud computing services with complete carrier neutrality, Webair gives clients the best of both worlds.
Webair Carrier Neutral Cloud services are currently available on Webair's NY Cloud nodes and will be rolled out in all other markets during the coming months. Webair clients can procure direct transit and transport services from hundreds of carriers. Similar to collocation clients, public and private cloud customers will be able to order connectivity directly from carriers via Webair's cloud cross connect platform leveraging meet-me rooms in 111 8th Ave., 60 Hudson St., 25 Broadway, and Telx's Ethernet Exchange.
Customers utilizing Webair's Carrier Neutral Cloud can configure any combination of transit or transport providers to directly connect to their computing infrastructure. This allows businesses with already established carrier relationships to utilize them in cloud in a truly open access cloud environment. Clients can choose to work with providers based on metrics that matter to them such as latency, route preferences, proven stability, or cost. Clients can further save money by aggregating commitments and consolidating contracts.
"Webair's revolutionary Carrier Neutral Cloud removes barriers and provide clients with the unique ability to custom build a truly multi-homed cloud environment using any carriers they prefer," said Michael C. Orza, President of Webair. "Put simply, our clients can finally take full advantage of all of the benefits of dynamic cloud hosting infrastructure without giving up any of the freedom to control their own network configurations."
Now is the time to take advantage of modern cloud computing services without the limitations of being tied to any one bandwidth provider.

BOULDER, Colo., Feb. 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- JNBridge, (www.jnbridge.com), a leading provider of interoperability tools that connect the Java and .NET Frameworks both on the ground and in the cloud, today announced the release of JNBridgePro 7.0, with support for Mono, the open source implementation of Microsoft's .NET Framework. Details of the announcement are available on (http://www.jnbridge.com/jn/?p=1594). Using JNBridgePro 7.0, developers can create applications that integrate Java and .NET components, and deploy them on Linux or Windows machines: the .NET-side is no longer restricted to just Windows.
"With the added capabilities in JNBridgePro 7.0, JNBridge provides new options for developers to target multiple platforms from a single code base," said Al Hilwa, senior analyst at IDC. "JNBridge continues to set the standard in supporting Java and .NET interoperability as they now address providing Mono support on Linux."
JNBridgePro connects Java and .NET Framework-based components and applications together with simple-to-use Visual Studio and Eclipse plug-ins that remove the complexities of cross-platform interoperability. By adding support for Mono, JNBridgePro 7.0 enables the resulting applications to run solely on Linux machines – no longer is the .NET-side tied to just Windows platforms.
"A classic use case for Mono is to migrate an ASP.NET Web application from a Windows Server to a Linux server," said Wayne Citrin, CTO of JNBridge. "With JNBridgePro 7.0, developers now can complete the puzzle by enabling their ASP.NET application running on Linux to access enterprise Java systems such as WebLogic, WebSphere, or Java-based content management systems. This is just one example where developers can integrate .NET with enterprise Java, yet avoid Windows lock-in for their application deployment."
In addition to support for Mono, JNBridgePro 7.0 now provides a single installer for both 32 and 64-bit platforms, and enables developers to build combined applications that are "any-CPU," simplifying both the installation and application development and deployment processes.
JNBridgePro 7.0 will be generally available on February 27, 2013. To download and purchase directly, please visit (www.jnbridge.com/downloads.htm). For more information on JNBridge, please visit (www.jnbridge.com).

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity.

When attempting to install any of them I get an error, this is from the error console:
Error: installLocation has no properties
Source File: file:///usr/lib/firefox/components/nsExtensionManager.js
Line: 3938
I got this error on Firefox 2, Firefox 3 was removed from my system since it got simply unmanageable.
Has this happened to anyone else? any ideas?
