2 Law Firms Poised to Collect $300M Del. Chancery Attorney's Fee Award, Plus $212K Daily Interest
Posted Sep 24, 2012 11:46 AM CDT
By Martha Neil
A well-known Wilmington, Del., law firm and its Pennsylvania-based co-counsel are poised to collect one of the biggest legal-fee awards ever made in a securities class action, after the Delaware Supreme Court on Friday rejected a motion for reargument of the massive payout, which at last report totaled about $305 million.
Approved last year by Chancellor Leo E. Strine Jr., who serves as chief judge of the state's highly regarded chancery court, the original $285 million award to Prickett, Jones & Elliott and Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check is racking up interest at the rate of $212,000 daily while the defendants in the Southern Peru Copper Co. case protest the massive legal fee, according to Reuters. Southern Peru is now known as Southern Copper Corp.
The award is believed to be the largest attorney's fee ever approved by the chancery court, the article says. The state's highest court OK'd the award in an en banc decision last month.
While $300 million is substantially less than the $688 million in attorney's fees and costs earned by plaintiff's lawyers in Enron Corp class actions and the $493 million payday for Tyco International attorneys, the lawyers in those cases accounted for almost ten times as many hours as the plaintiff's attorneys in the Southern Peru Copper case, the news agency notes.
Ronald Brown of the Prickett firm told Reuters in a voicemail that defendant Grupo México has posted a bond to cover the cost of the judgment and that it could also be satisfied by canceling shares of Southern Copper stock held by Grupo México, if the judgment isn't satisfied within 20 days.
Partner Bruce Angiolillo of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett argued on appeal for the defendants. He and Grupo México did not immediately respond to requests for comment by Reuters.
In its Friday opinion (PDF) the supreme court said that the trial judge has discretion to set attorney's fees and, absent an abuse of that discretion, as demonstrated by arbitrary, capricious or "clearly wrong" decision-making, the fee award will not be disturbed.
The supreme court reaffirmed its own explanation of how attorney's fees should be calculated, in Sugarland Industries Inc. v. Thomas, 420 A.2d 142 (Del. 1980), and noted that the chancery court found that its Southern Copper award conformed with a goal of creating "a healthy incentive for plaintiff's lawyers to actually seek real achievement for the companies that they represent in derivative actions and the classes that they represent in class actions."
In the Southern Peru case, the Friday opinion says, "the Court of Chancery carefully weighed and considered all of the Sugarland factors. The record supports its factual findings and its well-reasoned decision that a reasonable attorneys' fee is 15% of the benefit created. Accordingly, we hold that the Fee Award was a proper exercise of the Court of Chancery's broad discretion in applying the Sugarland factors under the circumstances of this case."
A dissenting judge said that the trial court stated the relevant Sugarland standards in its analysis but did not apply them, instead applying "its own world views on incentives, bankers' compensation, and envy" and focusing on "the perceived need to incentivize plaintiffs' lawyers to take cases to trial."

The message to the East Providence City Council last week on millions of dollars worth of repair work to two fire stations was mixed.
Fire Chief Oscar Elmasian said: "We're at where we should have been at the end of last summer."
Delays in getting new bids after the initial bids exceeded the budgets and other issues led to the Budget Commission not being able to approve the projects until mid-December.
"We just have to keep a close eye on the contractors and the project managers," he said of the renovations to Fire Station 1 at 913 Broadway and Fire Station 4 at 66 Wampanoag Trail.
"Work is on schedule now since the new starting date," he said.
"And we already have weekly meetings to get updates," said Elmasian, who inherited the repair projects at the end of last year when he was promoted to acting fire chief.
At that point in time, the construction schedule already was considered "aggressive" to get the work done by the end of the summer this year or risk losing federal cash that is paying for the projects.
With the work done already and expected over the next six months, Elmasian said, he is not concerned with losing the grant money.
"We couldn't be where we're at right now," he said. "But we'll be well into the project by this summer. We just have to show significant progress."
Total cost of the work is around $4.9 million: $2.9 million for Fire Station 1 and $2 million for Fire Station 4. The money is coming from an Assistance to Firefighters Grant of about $6.4 million under the federal American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009.
Demolition work has already begun at Fire Station 4, which will practically be gutted and rebuilt with a third engine bay and a second floor. Footers for the new foundation have been dug. The contractor is working around asbestos removal until it can be done. The firefighters have relocated to a facility on Amaral Street.
"Selective demolition" has begun at Fire Station 1, said Elmasian, which is getting an addition to the second floor and completely renovated residential and administrative facilities. Firefighters will continue to live there while work is done; the adminstration has moved temporarily to the Sweetland House -- the community policing building.
Iron Construction Group of Warwick is the contractor for Fire Station 1. The Bailey Group in Cranston is the contractor for Fire Station 4. Willam Starck Architects is the designer for both projects.

This second boxed book of David LaChapelle's photographs (LaChapelle Land is the first) ends with a beautifully written commentary by LaChapelle himself offering readers insight into the book and his photographic process: "And when people come for a photo session with me, they are giving themselves over, sort of checking in.
When you stay at a hotel you're living for one day in a place where you don't normally live. That feeling can be true with photographs, too." LaChapelle's photographs can be spotted a mile away. If you read magazines, you know his work: it jumps out like none other with the expertly created environments and alternate realities in which he places his subjects.

---- — Brace yourself, folks. The circus is coming to town.
Newburyport's Theater in the Open is bringing Circus Smirkus to Newbury's Manter Field on Friday, Aug. 2, and Saturday, Aug. 3.
For Theater in the Open's artistic director, Edward Speck, it's been a dream come true.
"It's really a magic process to be a part of," Speck said of Circus Smirkus. "It's all the things you'd expect from the circus except for the animals."
Currently in its 34th year of operation, Speck's nonprofit theater organization has been busy preparing to welcome Circus Smirkus for the second time in two years after a long hiatus. This year's circus theme will be "Oz Incorporated," based on "The Wizard of Oz," and promises everything from the Yellow Brick Road to the flying monkeys.
Speck, 31, grew up with Theater in the Open, starting with its summer arts workshop as a youngster. When he was 15, the circus came to town for the first time.
"It was a huge step for Theater in the Open," Speck said. "To work with another organization that was working on a slightly larger scale than we were and doing a large tour every year, and it became a rather large fundraiser for us. So, culturally and economically, it was a huge boon for Theater in the Open."
The Circus Smirkus event became Theater in the Open's biggest fundraiser for the next four years.
"Really, it was a win-win," Speck said. "The area gets this wonderful program to visit each year. Theater in the Open got to help its operating budget, and Circus Smirkus was able to tap into the wonderful, artistic families of the Newburyport and surrounding areas."
But, as with all good things, the theater's time with the circus came to an end. So, when Speck became artistic director in 2009, he knew what he wanted to see return to the area — it just took a few years to make it happen.
"It was one of my main goals," Speck said of returning Circus Smirkus to the Newburyport area in 2012. "Honestly, from a cultural standpoint, I missed it so much. It takes a lot of work to bring the circus here each year. They run an extremely tight ship, and they rely on organizations like ours to do the groundwork and to get the field, the advertisers, the signs up and the tickets sold. It's a wonderfully symbiotic relationship. So we have to put a lot of energy into making sure the event is a success. But at the end of all that work last year, getting to be able to sit under the big top next to the circus ring for the first time in 11 years and to be able to see all of these young people and very old people with very young smiles on their faces, I was overwhelmed."
The relationship between the two companies became symbiotic enough that two Theater in the Open alums would go on to join circuses of their own. Ariel Ebacher is currently touring Great Britain with a Welsh circus, and Dylan Fuller got into professional clowning.
The Vermont-based international youth circus is a true traveling show, spending the summer moving up and down the Northeast.
"They come in Thursday evening, set up shop, do their two shows Friday and Saturday and by Sunday morning, they are gone with the wind," Speck said.
The one-ring big top event also features 29 performers, ages 11 to 18.
"Much like Olympic gymnasts, they are going to be young because that's the only age where you can pull this stuff off at," Speck said of the circus performers. "So these kids are performing at an extremely high level in terms of quality. Then you have the experience of children in the audience getting to see people their own age performing these amazing acts."
Theater in the Open provides free, family-friendly theater in Maudslay State Park and is currently working on a production based around the myth of Orpheus.
"Our two missions are really to entertain and educate using art," Speck said. "Right now, we have 85 students who are learning dance and art and drama, and we try to use different forms of art to create more well-rounded human beings because that's the experience we all had growing up."
If you go
What: "Oz Incorporated," Circus Smirkus' 2013 Big Top Tour
When: Friday, Aug. 2, at 2 and 7 p.m. and Saturday, Aug. 3, at 12:30 and 5:30 p.m.
Where: Manter Field, 81 Central St., Newbury
How much: $21 for adults, $17 for kids ages 2-12. Tickets are available at Eureka Toys at The Tannery Marketplace in Newburyport, online at smirkus.org or by calling 877-SMIRKUS.

TERRE HAUTE — Crystal Sullivan has been a dominate force among women bowlers in Terre Haute through the years. In fact, just as good, if not better at times, than the male bowlers she regularly bowls alongside.
For example, Sullivan one-upped the male bowlers in the Eagles Mixed League at Vigo Bowl on Saturday. Sullivan rolled a 265 game and a 674 three-game series, topping Butch Crumbo's 253 and 667. Sullivan is averaging 217.1 in the league.
She also rolled an 807 series — her third career 800 — and shot her 11th 300 game during the current season in the Bowler's Ball Pro Shop League at Vigo Bowl.
But since those accomplishments are a regular occurrence — for her, that is — they are not particularly newsworthy.
What is newsworthy is Sullivan, who lives in Carbon, established two city records in Greencastle at Alex Alleys (formerly Varsity Lanes). If you recall, current owner, Charlie "The Greek" Alex, bowled in the long-ago West Central Bowlers Association events.
But I digress.
Sullivan shot a 299 game and a 716 three-game series on the Greencastle lanes to set new city records. In this day and age, those scores are pretty ho-hum in the new high-scoring environment of bowling.
But anyone who has bowled in Greencastle is aware, high scores are a rarity. Just 11 perfect games and only one 800 series have been recorded in the establishment's 60-year existence, attesting to the difficult lane conditions.
The previous high game for a woman was 290, shot back in the mid 1970s and no woman had ever topped the 700 plateau. Showing it was no fluke, Sullivan followed up with another 700 series.
All this information was passed along by Sullivan's significant other, Jason Hiddle. Hiddle averages 224 in the Eagles Mixed League, so he knows Crystal's accomplishment is quite a feat — despite his skills, his best game/series in Greencastle is "just" 268 and 686.

PSE&G Service Restoration Update – Monday, November 12, 2012 at 4:30 p.m.
PSE&G has restored power to virtually all customers affected by Hurricane Sandy and the nor'easter by Monday morning.
- However, at about 2:40 p.m. today, PSE&G's Sewaren switching station went out of service. Personnel were immediately on site. The outage affected about 45,000 customers in portions of: Perth Amboy, Rahway, Woodbridge, Carteret, Fanwood, Westfield, Mountainside, Edison, Plainfield and Scotch Plains. The Sewaren station was one of a number of switching and substations that experienced significant flooding as a result of Hurricane Sandy on Oct. 29. All customers were restored by about 4:15 p.m.
- While restoration from the storms is substantially complete, we know there are some customers who may still be out of service as a result of the two storms or localized problems with their electric service. Repairs will continue on a 24/7 basis to address all customer issues. Individual customers without service in a neighborhood with power should call 1-800-436-7734 and a crew will be assigned to complete the work.
- To restore customers after a storm of this magnitude, we needed to make a significant number of temporary repairs to our electric delivery system. Crews will now begin to make those repairs permanent and return the system to its normal design. Many of the out-of-state crews are still here and will help us complete some of this work during the next few days. To do so safely, we may need to take a circuit out of service for a period of time interrupting power to those customers. Service will be restored as soon as possible.
"Recovering from this storm has been grueling, not only for our customers who endured many hardships without electricity and heat, but also for the men and women who have been working non-stop since Oct. 30," said Ralph LaRossa, PSE&G president and COO.
"While we have restored nearly all 1.7 million customers affected by Sandy, we know we have more work to do. We will not rest until every last customer has their power and our permanent repairs are completed," he said. LaRossa said that as a result of the impact of the storm and the temporary repairs, for a period of time, the system may be less reliable than usual, and there may be more outages than the utility would experience in a normal day.
"The good news is that our restoration time will be faster," he said. "We ask for your continued patience as we work to restore our system to normal and once again provide the high level of reliability our customers have come to expect."
Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) is New Jersey's oldest and largest regulated gas and electric delivery utility, serving nearly three-quarters of the state's population. PSE&G is the winner of the Reliability One Award for superior electric system reliability. PSE&G is a subsidiary of Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated (PSEG) (NYSE:PEG), a diversified energy company (www.pseg.com).

Over the years, Maple Grove resident Laura Lovdahl has seen the impact that lack of school funding can have on a community.
With children who attend schools in District 279, a few years ago, Lovdahl joined the District 279 Parent Legislative Network, hoping to learn more about how schools are funded.
"From my own personal experience, I'm always frustrated when levies fail," Lovdahl said. "I've seen these budget cuts impact the community. It's not just me, it's everybody. It's the 20,000 students that Osseo Area Schools serves."
In an effort to help raise awareness for the importance of the passage of school levies, in 2012, Lovdahl joined a parent group called District 279 Strong Schools, Strong Communities. They became a small army of people working to pass the district's 2012 levy. But when the levy didn't pass, the group stayed together.
"We know that there are a lot of parents and community members who are interested in school issues and education issues," Lovdahl said. "That's why we continued the group after the elections."
Since the November elections, Lovdahl said about 60 parents and community members have contacted her group, looking to get involved. Group members have reached out school to principals, who are working to connect parents with school influencers.
On Sunday, Jan. 27, Lovdahl and the other Strong Schools members will meet at the Maple Grove library to help bring attention to the importance of school funding. Anyone is invited to attend the free event, which will include speaker Mary Cecconi, executive director of Parents United for Public Schools.
"The room at the library accommodates 50 people, and it would be a wonderful problem if we overflowed that room," Lovdahl said. "Everybody can rally around the idea that having strong schools leads to strong, vibrant communities."
The free event on Sunday begins at 2 p.m. at the Maple Grove Library.

Fair enough. You deal with him/her, then. ;-)
on a comment on Holiday for Obama & United States over 5 years ago
Maybe. :-)
Do you mean "boy" as opposed to "middle aged or older guy" or "boy" as opposed to "girl"?
on a comment on The Way To Win Florida, Lessons for 2010 over 5 years ago
Florida's results are indeed more Democratic than in 2004. It has shifted +7 blue, while the national popular vote shifted +9 blue, putting Florida 2 points behind with respect to other states.
I think Texas is ripe for 2016. I do believe that within our lifetime, we will come to a point where Texas is more reliably blue while Florida hovers in the swing zone. Texas has a younger population and the Latino population is more Mexican than traditionally more conservative Cubans.
on a comment on Evidence that Hillary wanted to be the vice president over 5 years ago
No more picking on David please. Like many of us, he was heavily emotionally and politically invested in Hillary Clinton. Everyone deals with it in their own way.
We have a new president elect, a new Senate, a new House, more governorships & state legislatures--nothing to be defensive about. We can weather a few residual frustrations from the primaries. Honey catches more bees than vinegar.
on a comment on The Way To Win Florida, Lessons for 2010 over 5 years ago
We can't be unrealistic though. Florida is actually 3 points redder with respect to the center of American politics than it was 4 years ago.
In 2004, nation = Bush +3.
Florida = Bush + 5.
Florida 2004 = +2 Red tilt.
In 2004, nation = Obama +7.
Florida = Obama +2.
Florida 2008 = +5 Red tilt.
In four years, +3 to the Red tilt in Florida.
+2 in Missouri as well.
We need to do as well as we can in Florida, but in the next Presidential election, it need not be a primary focus as it was in 2000 or 2004. Same goes for Missouri. Considering the way states are trending, we're better of focusing on Arizona, North Carolina, Georgia, Colorado, and Virginia. Note that each year, Texas (w. no campaigning) gets bluer while Florida (w. campaigning) grows redder.
on a comment on Holiday for Obama & United States over 5 years ago
We've done our work for now, no?
I voted and rallied some voters for Obama in Pennsylvania. I don't know what more I could do aside from being a digital pundit until the next election. The officials do most of the work.
I think for the time being, a little celebration is in order. I mean, we do still technically have Bush till 1/20/09. I feel happy and joyful now. I hope others do as well.
on a comment on My Predictions Came True over 5 years ago
I believe it. Props to St. Louis and Kansas City for coming through but unfortunately nothing is ever enough to counter what seems to be an unabated growing hate vote there. Please be sure to correct anyone who now or in the future refers to that place as a bellwether. The bellwether is Virginia.
comment on a post My Predictions Came True over 5 years ago
Good job. I knew that Missouri would be the toughest of them all. Despite it having been much closer for us in the past, I knew it would trail North Carolina and Indiana. Missouri is a hate state. Let us put that off our map entirely, and redirect any resources instead to Arizona in 2012. If we ever win Missouri, it will be our 400th electoral vote (in the future, Arizona won't have a home state effect).
By 2024, I predict Missouri will be among the Top Ten reddest states in America. That place is no bellwether. And yes, I really don't like Missouri (first in the nation to ban gay marriage via const. amendment). Fuck that place.
comment on a post Rodham-Clinton!!!!! over 5 years ago
This is so self evidently trashy. Obama won many states because Hillary's true supporters believed in her vision of America and in overwhelming numbers, we opposed McCain. This isn't the time to piss on Hillary; she did the nation and our democracy a favor.
Look at the states we eked out in the end: NORTH CAROLINA and INDIANA. You think we would have won them without all the attention and infrastructure they received? Face it, the primary put those states on the map. And now they're blue. Thanks to Democrats, both Obama and Clinton supporters.
The thing about "GBCW's" is that they're predicated on the assumption that people really care whether you post here or not.
In my experience, something always brings the posters back anyway (like Hurricane Katrina), so it's best to eschew melodramatic GBCW's and afford one's self the liberty to return without inconsistency in behavior.
When I leave a forum for a few months, I do it quietly. Then I come and go. There is no drama about it.
I hit "post" before writing. Oh tis late...
It's hard to imagine what inspires you to celebrate Obama's victory with a boast to Hillary Clinton supporters, a GBCW, some insults, and a few comments here designed to showcase your "flawless!" analytical skills and writing ability.
If you want to interpret the United States election as, of all things, a vindication of you, by all means go ahead. I think there's a little self-importance going on here.
Nevertheless, thank you for leaving us with a protracted acedemically guised "ZOMG I wuz rite; u were rong! na na na na na ZOMG hehe I am so smart LOLxxors"
on a comment on Blacks and Gays, Prop 8 over 5 years ago
Thanks for the cite and the link, but at the risk of sounding immodest, it's pretty obvious to me that whatever celebrity status he may have, my pro-integration diary is more thoughtful, more "big picture," better written, and more meaningful than his half-a-page-long rant.

Escalating one of techs biggest rivalries, Microsoft Corp. is accusing Google Inc. of compromising the privacy of Gmail users leveling the charge in an unusual, in-your-face ad campaign that it hopes will resonate with consumers even if some analysts call it alarmist and irresponsible.
The public attacks in print, television and billboard messages that warn consumers about the supposed dangers of being Scroogled, or mistreated by Google marks a strategic shift in a clash of Internet titans, under the guidance of a bare-knuckle political campaign strategist.
Despite spending billions of dollars to build its own Bing search engine and online advertising service, Microsoft has failed to put much of a dent in Googles dominance of the Internet ad business. It has also gained little traction with a behind-the-scenes effort to convince government officials that Googles business is anti-competitive.
Now the Redmond, Wash., software giant is waging a high-profile, election-style blitz against its Mountain View, Calif., rival using public opinion polls, for example, to shape rapid-fire attacks with the help of Mark Penn, a veteran public relations executive and former campaign adviser to former President Bill Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Public attacks on competitors arent the norm for most tech companies, but there is precedent. Oracle Corp. has blasted Hewlett-Packard Co. and others. Two years ago, Google accused Bing of copying its search results.
But some industry experts are critical of Microsofts latest volley, which suggests Google is invading users privacy by delivering ads tailored to keywords in consumers email messages. Analysts say the practice, which relies on automated software, has been accepted for nearly a decade.
The idea that one company is better than the other is disingenuous and deceptive, said consumer advocate Jeff Chester of the Center for Digital Democracy, adding that all major Internet companies collect user data. If Microsoft was as successful as Google in the search business, you would not hear a peep out of them on privacy.
Another privacy advocate, however, said hes happy to see a big Internet company treat privacy as a competitive feature. I think its very healthy, said John Simpson of the nonprofit Consumer Watchdog, even if theyre using it to make a buck.
Microsoft first showed its new strategy in the fall with a campaign urging consumers to compare Bing and Google search results. It followed up with ads that criticized a recent change in Googles shopping search service, which had begun showing only results from merchants who pay to be included.
Google says its new shopping search policy means consumers get the most accurate listings, but Microsoft and other critics accused Google of quietly abandoning objective results. The attack drew a backlash, however, after the influential blog Search Engine Land reported Bings shopping service was also requiring merchants to pay for listings.
While Microsoft says it now accepts free listings, blogger Danny Sullivan, the founding editor of Search Engine Land who sharply criticized Googles shopping listings, concluded that Bing itself does the same things it accuses Google of.
Microsoft launched another round of ads this month that attack Googles widely used email program, the free, Web-based service Gmail.
Google looks for keywords in your personal email and uses them to target you with paid ads, Microsoft charged. In an interview, Weitz cited a Microsoft poll that found people overwhelmingly disapprove of that practice, which he said consumers view as creepy.
Google has operated Gmail on the same model since 2004, using software that automatically looks for keywords, such as names of consumer products or travel destinations, which trigger the display of relevant ads.
Nobody from Google or its advertisers has the ability to come to your house or call you on the phone as a result of the Gmail program, said Rebecca Lieb, digital ad analyst for the Altimeter Group. I think its irresponsible to raise alarms about things that arent adequately explained.

HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL: Winters not done setting milestones
SAN ANGELO, Texas - What: Class 1A regional semifinal baseball series
When: Game 1 at 7 p.m. Thursday; Game 2 at 2 p.m. Saturday; Game 3 (if necessary) 30 minutes after Game 2
Where: Eastland
Records: Winters is 21-7
Improvement is the key word this season for a Winters baseball program that is making history with every win.
This year's Blizzards team is making it a point to start a new winning tradition for the program and start erasing years of coming up short in the playoffs.
So far, so good.
This season has been a year of firsts for Winters baseball. The Blizzards have accomplished their first 20-win season, and earlier this month they notched their first playoff series win in program history.
Since then, they've added two more playoff series wins to advance to the regional semifinals beginning Thursday against Seymour.
"We are a lot more experienced than we were last year," head coach James Spivey said.
It helps when you only graduate two players and you are able to bring back the core of your team, Spivey said.
"This team has a great core of seniors that have been playing baseball at the varsity level for all four years of high school," Spivey said.
The new and improved Blizzards will look to move one step closer to the state tournament by knocking off Seymour.
"This team is very confident, and if we play the way we have been in the playoffs we have a good chance to win," senior pitcher Riley Ripley said.
Spivey is a former coach at Seymour and knows that the Panthers take their baseball program very seriously.
"Baseball is a big deal to those kids at Seymour," Spivey said. "There is no doubt that we are going to have to put every aspect of the game together to be competitive. We are going to have to be smart on the base paths, we will have to have a plan when we go up to bat, our defense is going to have to be solid, and we are going to have to pitch well." Spivey said
With 16 teams left in the playoffs, every team is going to be solid, Spivey said.
Winters senior Strait Daniel like his team's chances with his team's pitching depth and improved hitting.
"We have three really good pitchers that can get the job done," said Daniel, a pitcher and center fielder. "Our bats have come a long way, and we have made a real improvement over the past three weeks."
Game 1 is scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday in Eastland. Game 2 will be played at 2 p.m. Saturday, and Game 3 will be played 30 minutes later if necessary. Ripley is expected to start Game 1 for the Blizzards.
Winters advanced to this round with a two-game sweep last weekend of the Fort Hancock Mustangs (3-1, 8-3).
"If we can take away the focus we had in the Ft. Hancock series, it will definitely help us," Spivey said.
The first game of that series was a neck-and-neck game, Spivey said, and he believes having the experience of those type of games in the playoffs will help down the road.
This kind of success has helped to put Winters baseball on the map and get a community excited for a sport that normally does not generate much buzz.
"The town is getting excited, and there are people who do not normally back baseball that are driving to places like Seminole to watch playoff games," Spivey said.

Current Research
The primary research activities in our laboratories are centered on the development of synthetically useful and conceptually novel methodologies, in particular, multiple C-C bond formations through rearrangements and fragmentations.
Our current research programs have three main thrusts: 1) the identification of chiral tertiary N-oxides as reactive oxygen transfer reagents and their application towards asymmetric oxidations: epoxidation, sulfoxidation, and alpha-oxygenation of ketones; 2) the development of an intramolecular [2+2] cycloaddition between alkoxyketeniminium salts and carbonyl functionalities and application towards the synthesis of nucleotide analogs as potential antiviral drug candidates; and 3) the development of an intramolecular cycloaddition of alkenes and 1,3-diradical or zwitterionic species from epoxide cleavage and application towards the synthesis of furanoeremophilane natural products. Biological assays and pharmaceutical profiles of the projected compounds are also investigated through collaborations with biologists in biomedical science departments.

LOPRESSOR FOR SALE, One day a few weeks ago, I was grocery shopping and I went a little hog-wild for Greek food. While reading over a new-ish cookbook from my mom, LOPRESSOR dosage, LOPRESSOR wiki, I found it had a recipe for tabbouleh, which I'd been craving since I had it in St, LOPRESSOR alternatives. LOPRESSOR from canada, Louis this summer.
Instead of just making that, LOPRESSOR pharmacy, Where can i find LOPRESSOR online, though, I thought I'd also make falafel, LOPRESSOR samples, Cheap LOPRESSOR, and then I thought, why not try an easier way of my Greek hand pies, is LOPRESSOR safe, Herbal LOPRESSOR, and if I'm going to all this trouble, I'll cheat and just buy the hummus, LOPRESSOR street price. Online buying LOPRESSOR, Because, really, about LOPRESSOR, Where to buy LOPRESSOR, what's a Mediterranean meal without hummus?
Also, I bought groceries on a Saturday afternoon and decided to have it for dinner that night, buy LOPRESSOR online no prescription, LOPRESSOR overnight, which meant I had to do this in a relatively whirlwind fashion.
Because it took the longest, and could afford to sit for a few minutes, LOPRESSOR over the counter, After LOPRESSOR, I started with the hand pies. Instead of making my own dough, I bought phyllo dough to serve as the outside, LOPRESSOR FOR SALE. While the side of the phyllo box tells me I should bake it, order LOPRESSOR no prescription, LOPRESSOR australia, uk, us, usa, I tried frying. While it wasn't ideal, low dose LOPRESSOR, LOPRESSOR price, it did work.
[caption id="attachment_60" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="phyllo and greens"][/caption]
Loving the insides of the hand pies so much, I'm sure I'll make them again, LOPRESSOR maximum dosage. LOPRESSOR dose, Next time, I think I'll try minis, real brand LOPRESSOR online. LOPRESSOR use, I'll also attempt the phyllo dough again, but I'll look at a new tactic, LOPRESSOR trusted pharmacy reviews. LOPRESSOR FOR SALE, Suggestions. Where can i buy LOPRESSOR online, Next, with the wheat bulgur nice and puffy, purchase LOPRESSOR, Taking LOPRESSOR, I started on cutting the veggies for the tabbouleh. For the record, I like the recipe so much I've made it no fewer than two more times since the first one. If the parsley in my crisper is still fresh enough, I may even make it again.
[caption id="attachment_61" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="veggies for tabbouleh"][/caption]
[caption id="attachment_62" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="chopping parsley and mint"][/caption]
My recipe hails from the bizarre and sometimes condescending cookbook "Skinny Bitch in the Kitch," which has vegan-only recipes but does have some good suggestions for making comfort foods more healthy. Also — don't tell the anti-omnivore authors, but — one can always turn a vegan or vegetarian recipe into a delightful "normal" dinner by throwing in real cheese or real meat, LOPRESSOR FOR SALE.
In the case of tabbouleh, though, it's pretty fine as a vegan dish, because it's basically a salad. Which also means, the recipe can be pretty loose. I really, really like parsley so I've added more than the 1/3 cup called for in the recipe. Because I was almost out of mint during my Greek tapas dinner, I added less than the 1/3 cup called for (and have excluded it entirely in subsequent mixings). LOPRESSOR FOR SALE, All in all, the salad is basically cooked wheat bulgur, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, parsley, mint, with an olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper dressing. It can be mixed in any concentration (even excluding some items) based on what you like best.
Finally, because it required the most concentration, I made the falafel.

This, like the hummus, was simplified because of time and money constraints. Rather than mixing it from scratch (which I intend to do someday for comparison), I bought a box, where all I had to do was add water and fry after shaping them into little discs. Either way, it was delicious.

Sure, it was a hectic few hours and I couldn't have done it without a pair of extra hands (at least not as easily), but it was totally worth the binge that followed the hard work.

Idaho college students should be allowed to carry guns to class as long as they hold an enhanced concealed carry permit, said one state lawmaker Monday.
Presenting a new bill to the Senate State Affairs Committee, Sen. Curt McKenzie, R-Nampa, said his proposal would permit retired law enforcement officers and people with Idaho's enhanced concealed carry permit to bring firearms on campus, even if there was a gun ban on university property.
"The people have the right to keep and bear arms, which is a fundamental right we put in our Constitution," McKenzie said.
Enhanced concealed carry permit holders must be over the age of 21, complete an eight-hour certified course and participate in live fire training.
The bill would still ban all guns from dormitories along with facilities with more than 1,000 seats, such as stadiums. And gun holders under the influence of alcohol or drugs would have their permit revoked for three years.
The bill unanimously breezed through the Senate committee.
McKenzie promised, however, there would be more lively debate once the bill comes back for a full committee hearing.
"My inclination is that this is not the safe thing to do," said state Sen. Michelle Stennett, D-Ketchum, to the Times-News.
Law enforcement officers are trained several times throughout the course of their career to handle live shooter situations, she said. This bill only requires permit holders to complete firearm training once.
Stennett added that most campus security guards do not carry firearms, meaning the bill could end up pitting security guards against armed students.
This isn't the first time Idaho lawmakers have tried to allow guns on college campuses. In 2011, McKenzie attempted to prohibit campuses from restricting any sort of gun ban. The bill failed in the Senate after getting approval in the House.
If approved, Idaho would join a small number of states that have approved guns on public college campuses. So far, only Utah and Colorado have lifted firearm restrictions on university property.
Yet McKenzie's proposal was submitted following a tense week of campus shootings starting Jan. 20 where a student was injured by a gunshot at Widener University near Philadelphia, continued by a death of a Purdue University teaching assistant the next day and a Jan. 24 shooting at South Carolina State University.
There are some places in society where guns shouldn't be allowed and college campuses are one of them, said spokesman Doug Maughan.
The college's current policy dictates that anyone who brings a gun on campus must check it in with security, he said.
"This has come up before and despite a few administrative changes, the board is still steadfast in that they don't see the sense of allowing guns on campus," he said. "You can expect our board will oppose this."

---- — Like many others, Newburyport's Jan Roy has been fighting a touch of the flu this week. Feeling under the weather and battling the winter doldrums, she perked up rather quickly, however, when she answered her phone Tuesday afternoon.
It was a staff member at the Newburyport Art Association calling to inform her that her oil painting was named "Best in Show" for this year's winter show for artist members.
"I was very pleased," Roy said. "It's a good feeling."
This is Roy's third time earning a "Best of Show" honor during a show at Art Association where she has been a member for close to a decade. Roy has been painting full-time since 2000 after she ended a 30-year career as a silkscreen artist.
A painting presents an artist with "endless possibilities," Roy said. "A painting is never finished; it's only finished when you're finished with it. It can go on forever, and that's part of what makes it fun."
Each time she wins an award at the association, Roy said, "it's a really wonderful feeling."
"I'm always very honored," she added. "There's so much good art submitted to each show."
Roy painted the image, called "Greek Village," shortly after returning from a vacation in Europe. While she didn't sit down at her easel with the intent to paint an image of Greece, she realized as she worked, that was exactly what was happening. She has visited Greece twice, most recently about six years ago.
"I'd love to go back," she added with a laugh.
Roy was given the honor by the jurors for this year's show: Lucas Spivey, exhibitions manager at Montserrat College of Art and Design, and Diana Tuite, an adjunct professor at Maine College of Art.
The pair called Roy's painting "a combination of surface abstraction and rich landscape, and can be enjoyed for either or both."
"The village, mountains and water are represented with interweaving layers while retaining flatness and soft geometry. With her deft and muscular paint handling and accomplished use of tonal color, Roy renders this landscape with tremendous expressiveness and spatial sophistication," they wrote in their comments. "The small size of the canvas amplifies the power of the faceted brushwork used to describe the village itself."
The first part of the winter members show opens tomorrow and runs through Feb. 2. A total of 109 artists submitted works in digital art, drawing, oil, printmaking, sculpture and watercolor; 95 artists were accepted into the show.
The show features 140 pieces of artwork, selected from 186 submissions.
This includes: 92 oil paintings, 24 watercolors, five drawings, seven prints, seven sculptures and five pieces of digital art.
In addition to Roy, the other award winners are:
David R. Jones, "Sea Chapel," Best of Oil; Joan Benincasa, "Red Wagon," Best of Watercolor; Kate Hanlon, "Charlie at Sea," Best of Printmaking; Karen Jones, "Blowing Grasses," Best of Drawing; Michael Forehand, "Fauna," Best of Sculpture; Jack Fowler, "2 Birch," Best of Digital Art.
Gay P. Cox, Barbara Naeser and Daniel Shaw earned honorable mentions.
The second part of the show will run from Feb. 8 to March 2, and will feature works in acrylic, fine crafts, mixed media, pastel and photography.

Today's digital cameras shoot large-sized images. This is great for making prints, but it is a bad thing when you're sharing images. You don't want to bog down someone's e-mail, for instance, with oversized files. Plus, many e-mail programs won't send or receive large files. If you are posting the images to the Web, it will take too long to load and look weird in its original size.
For the purposes of this tutorial, I am using Adobe Photoshop Elements (Compare prices), as it is a popular photo editing software program. Your digital camera should have come with photo editing software, or you can consult the Graphics Software guide's list of free photo editors if you need one. While there are subtle differences, most operate in much the same manner.
First of all, open your software program. In the top left corner, you will see "File." Click that, and then go down to "Open" and click there.

Cheap hearty blissPosted on 03 / 23 / 2014
Long Life Vegi House offers massive quantities of decent Chinese food for an unbelievable price. During the lunch special hours (which last till 5pm), for under $5, you get soup, tea, a spring roll, and a massive plate of brown rice plus an entree of your choice. It's not the highest quality food, but it's a ton of food, and it's pretty tasty and so ridiculously cheap. This place holds a very special place in my heart. I don't go very often anymore, but Long Life provided a very high percentage of my caloric intake during my college years.Pros: soooo cheap, sooo much food, quick and easy
Cons: kinda greasy

Museum of History presents the story of football
Football is one of the most popular sports in the world. It is a global phenomenon that has no boundaries in race or geography. While the World Cup 2006 is proceeding at full steam in Germany, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department and the National Football Museum in England have joined forces to present the "Football" exhibition, organised by the Hong Kong Museum of History in collaboration with the Hong Kong Football Association.
More than 150 items carefully selected by the National Football Museum and the Hong Kong Football Association will be on display from tomorrow (June 21) until September 18 at the Museum of History.
Through exhibits, valuable photographs and audio-visual programmes, the exhibition traces the history of football right back to its origins. It provides visitors with a panorama of football's historical landmarks, such as the formation of the English Football Association (FA) and the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the development of match rules, the birth of the World Cup and the emergence of those football giants who populate the game's hall of fame. It also reviews the glorious days of Hong Kong football.
The exhibition was officially opened today (June 20) at the Museum of History by the Secretary for Home Affairs Dr Patrick Ho Chi-ping, the President of the Hong Kong Football Association, Mr Timothy Fok Tsun-ting; the Consul-General of the Federal Republic of Germany of Hong Kong and Macau SARs, Mr Frank Burbach; the Special Exhibitions Director of the National Football Museum in England, Mr Mark Bushell; and the Chief Curator of the Museum of History, Dr Joseph Ting Sun-pao.
The exhibition consists of nine zones - "Origins of the Game", "The Football Association, The Spread of the Association Game and The First Football League", "Football Spreads Overseas", "The Story of FIFA", "The World Cup", "The Superstars of the Past and Present", "European and English Football", "Women's Football" and "Hong Kong Football".
The origin of football has been debated for years. Different ball games appeared in China, Japan, Mexico, ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt. The zone, "Origins of the Game", features the origins, early development and changes in football. At the China Football Expo 2004 in Beijing, FIFA declared that football originated in China. In ancient China, the ball game was known as "cuju". On July 15, 2004, the Asian Football Confederation formally recognised that football was born in Linzi, the capital of Qi state, in the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC) and the Warring States period (475-221 BC), more than 2,400 years ago.
The highlight exhibits in this zone include a "cuju" replica, a statue of Charles Wreford-Brown inform the late 1880s, a painted ball used in the Kirkwall games on the Scottish isle of Orkney and an etching, "Football in the streets of London", painted in 1820s.
England may not have been the birthplace of football, but it has certainly played a key role in popularising the sport. Zones in "The Football Association, The Spread of the Association Game and the First Football League" and "Football Spreads Overseas" focus on this aspect of the game's development. On October 26, 1863, in London, a group of Englishmen founded the FA, the first of its kind in the world and established the world's first standardised football rules. In 1871, the FA organised the Football Association Challenge Cup, the world's oldest football competition. The event proved a phenomenal success, prompting countries such as Scotland, Spain, Italy and Germany to host similar contests.
The highlight exhibits in these zones include a football used in the early 20th century, the painting, "Football at Rio de Janeiro" by S Brandao, and a 1930s British biscuit tin with football decorations.
"The Story of FIFA" and "The World Cup" zones trace the development of football in the world. On May 21, 1904, FIFA was established in Paris, France. Member countries were restricted to the European nations, France, Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, Spain, Switzerland and the Netherlands. England joined the association in 1905. After 1909, FIFA began to accept members from outside Europe. In 1930, it organised the first World Cup. The event, held every four years, brings together the world's top players, thrilling fans all over the globe with their formidable skills.
The highlight exhibits in these zones include a statue of a mounted horse presented to the England Football Association by the German Football Association in 1938, the FIFA Fair Play medal in 1998, a replica of Jules Rimet trophy, a match ball used in the first World Cup Final in 1930, the posters of the World Cup Finals in 1930, 1950, 1966, 1970 and 1978 and a puppet of Paul Gascoigne's "Spitting Image" from the British TV comedy.
Outstanding football players and coaches are featured in the "Superstars of the Past and Present" zone. They include goalkeepers Arthur Wharton, Lev Yashin, Dino Zoff, Sepp Maier and Peter Schmeichel; defenders Bobby Moore, Franz Beckenbauer, Franco Baresi, Paulo Maldini and Roberto Carlos; midfielders Socrates, Michel Platini, Paul Gascoigne, Lothar Matthaus and David Beckham; forwards Alfredo di Stefano, Ferenc Puskas, Pele, Johan Cruyff and Diego Maradona; coaches Vittorio Pozzo, Bob Paisley, Giovanni Trapattoni, Sir Alex Ferguson, Fabio Capello and Jose Mourinho.
The highlight exhibits in this zone include the West Germany shirt worn by Franz Beckenbauer against France in 1968, a Real Madrid shirt worn by Alfredo di Stefano in 1953, a model of David Beckham's foot, George Best's football boots and the football shirts signed by superstars like Pele, Ronaldinho, Beckham and Michael Owen.
The seventh zone, "European & English Football", introduces the important football matches in Europe such as Germany's The Bundesliga, Spain's La Liga, Italy's Serie A. In addition, The Premier League in England features familiar teams known as Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United. The highlight exhibits in this zone include a pen-and-ink drawing of David Beckham, a 1959 Real Madrid shirt and the European Super Cup medal.
"Women's Football" zone explains the origins, development, ban and survival of women's football. The growth of women's football and the Women's World Cup held today are also presented in this zone. The highlight exhibits in this zone include the newspaper cartoon featuring the famous Dick Kerr Ladies in 1921, a selection of postcards by Fred Spurgin from the early 1900s, which featured women playing football, a postcard of the great Dick Kerr Ladies Football Club and a pair of football boots worn by the great Lily Parr in the 1920s.
The last zone concentrates on the history of Hong Kong's football from its birth to maturity, from the post-war period to the 1970s and from the 1980s to the present. After Hong Kong was ceded to Britain, football remained an exclusive sport played by foreigners only. In 1908, the first Chinese football association, South China Football Club, was established. In 1914 the Hong Kong Football Association was founded and organised large-scale official tournaments. From the 1930s to 1980s, a host of talented players rose to fame. Football fever quickly spread across the territory and attracted scores of fans.
The exhibits in this zone include the Hong Kong Football Club commemorative plates in the 1990s, a trophy for the 1923 Hong Kong-Shanghai Interport Competition, a commemorative shield for the 1957 Merdeka Tournament, a trophy for the 1st to 10th Viceroy Cup, the "Seiko Sports" Magazine published in October, 1983, and a trophy for the 2003 East Asian Football Championship Preliminary Competitions.
To tie in with the exhibition, a fine gold football autographed by the famous Brazilian footballer Ronaldo Luis Nazario de Lima, on loan from 3D-GOLD Jewellery, is on display at the Lobby of the Museum of History.
Visitors with admission tickets to the "Football" exhibition can participate in a lucky draw to win one of three gold football ornaments sponsored by 3D-GOLD Jewellery. The draws will take place on July 21, August 18 and September 20 respectively. One gold football will be given away in each draw. For details, please visit the Museum of History's website or call 2724 9042.
The Hong Kong Museum of History is located at 100 Chatham Road South, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. It opens from 10am to 6pm from Monday to Saturday, from 10am to 7pm on Sundays and public holidays. It is closed on Tuesdays except public holidays.
