A Literature Review of Podcasts and Implications for Teacher Education PROCEEDINGS
Natalie Milman, Bryce Walker, George Washington University, United States
Society for Information Technology & Teacher Education International Conference, in San Diego, CA, USA ISBN 978-1-880094-78-5 Publisher: Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE), Chesapeake, VA
This paper provides a review of the literature of empirical research on podcasts in higher education conducted between 2005 and 2009. A preliminary synthesis of the literature indicates that most studies focus on student perception, satisfaction, and achievement and accessibility, functionality, and usability of podcasts in education. A small proportion of these studies center on teacher education. We recommend that more comprehensive, long-term mixed method research be conducted on podcasts in higher and teacher education to determine their return on investment.

For immediate release January 3, 2011
Contact: Jeff Morgan, email@example.com, (515) 281-3858
Exhibit marks civil liberties work from the last 90 years
(DES MOINES) – A traveling exhibit that marks the 90-year history of the American Civil Liberties Union visits the State Historical Museum next month for a three-week run.
The exhibit, "No Victory Ever Stays Won: 90 Years of Protecting Liberty," highlights ACLU milestones over the last nine decades and illustrates the organization's contributions to defending freedoms of Americans. The exhibit is on display now through Jan. 23, 2011, at the State Historical Museum, 600 E. Locust Street in Des Moines. Museum hours are 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday and noon-4:30 p.m. Sunday. Visit www.iowahistory.org or call 515-281-5111 for more information. Admission is free.
"Iowa has a long and storied history regarding civil liberties issues and we are very pleased to co-host this traveling exhibit with the ACLU of Iowa," Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs Director Cyndi Pederson said. "I encourage Iowans to visit the museum and learn more about the history behind these issues not only as they pertain to Iowa, but to the entire country as well."
The exhibit includes information about Iowa's landmark 1969 U.S. Supreme Court student rights case, Tinker v. The Des Moines Independent Schools, and outlines ACLU's work on a wide range of issues, including racial segregation, the right to vote, free speech and privacy on the Internet, human rights, reproductive freedoms and more.
"The growth of civil liberties in the past 90 years represents one of the most significant developments in American history," said Ben Stone, executive director of the ACLU of Iowa. "Since the ACLU of Iowa recently celebrated its 75th year, we thought it especially appropriate to bring the ACLU's national 90th exhibit to Iowa. The ACLU's anniversary exhibit charts how the organization's tireless work challenging unconstitutional laws and practices has made the Constitution a living document for everyone in the country."
In addition to Iowa, the ACLU's traveling exhibit will be on display in Nebraska, Indiana, Missouri, Colorado, Georgia, Massachusetts, New Mexico, Maine, New Jersey, Tennessee, Oklahoma, California, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah and Washington, D.C.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa is the state affiliate of the national organization, dedicated to the broad defense of freedom and personal rights. Visit www.aclu-ia.org for more information.
The State Historical Society of Iowa is a division of the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs, and is a trustee of Iowa's historical legacy and an advocate for understanding Iowa's past. It identifies, records, collects, preserves, manages and provides access to Iowa's historical resources. Its dual mission of preservation and education serves Iowans of all ages, conducts and stimulates research, disseminates information, and encourages and supports historical preservation and education efforts of others throughout the state.

Hope for Haiti
TechnoServe is helping Haitians break the downward economic spiral that has plagued the country for decades.Read More
Haiti's development efforts were dealt a blow by the massive January 2010 earthquake that had a devastating effect on the capital, Port-au-Prince, and surrounding areas. The number of deaths was estimated at more than 200,000. In the aftermath of the quake, TechnoServe joined The Coca-Cola Company and other partners to help Haitian farmers support the country's mango industry. An estimated 100,000 small-scale Haitian farmers grow mangoes, but few realize the full economic value of their farms, making the mango industry a potential building block in Haiti's long-term recovery efforts. TechnoServe is also part of a consortium working to improve access to finance for Haiti's small and medium businesses.
To date, TechnoServe has organized two business plan competitions in Haiti, assisting more than 750 businesses. TechnoServe is currently working with more than 16,000 Haitian smallholder farmers to help them increase their incomes by 100 percent.

This story is unique to most of Mr Munsch's writing in that it departs from the predictable pattern that he usually uses. LOVE the strong and relentless female character. Not all princesses need crowns and beautiful crowns! A must for all Canadian Kids bookshelves.
A classic feminist fairy tale-redux! Princess Elizabeth, who is very beautiful and wears expensive princess clothes, must defeat the dragon who attacked her castle and kidnapped her betrothed, Prince Ronald. Elizabeth is up to the challenge, of course, but Ronald proves to be a bit of a dud. One of my favorite Robert Munsch books and a great readaloud for fairy tale fans.
There are very children's book I do not like, but unfortunately this is one of them. The concept of the story is great. The princess loses everything, tries to save the prince, but in the end learns to live without all the fancy things, even the prince. But There are several ways in which the story doesn't deliver for children. First, why does the princess have to be completely naked on page two? How did the dragon's burning down of her castle make her lose her clothes? I find this completely creepy and inappropriate. Then there are the horse bones and total destruction of forests. Again, not appropriate for the advertized age range of 4-7.
The princess finds and very cleverly tricks the dragon into wearing himself out so she can save the prince. But when she realizes the prince is not a nice guy, the line simply says "They didn't get married after all." Little kids are not going to be able to reason this out. And the princess simply runs off into the sunset in the end. She's just a young girl. Where is she going to go?
I feel this book is mislabled for small children. It should be for ages 8 and up. Fairy tales can be wonderful learning tools, but this book falls short in the delivery. There are several places the author could have done a better job telling this story in a way children would understand.
Would I recommend this book? NO. There are many better fairy tales available
How have I never read this?! I bust out laughing at the end. Way to go, Elizabeth!
What a great book! The message applies to both little girls and grown women!
This is a awesome book. One that I still really enjoy!
Best Robert Munsch book ever!
This was my favourite Munsch book when I was little and now, it seems to be, my 2yr old son's as well.
He loves the Dragon (of course) and it has not only proven to be a great read for us to share, but it has proven to be entertaining in other ways.
He loves to recite the book word-for-word and reenact it. Only, when he plays the Dragon, he likes to wake up when he is supposed to stay asleep and eat Prince Ronald. Ha ha.
Great Book! It is read nightly and sometimes multiple times during the day.
Awesome children's book. I'm being the princess for Halloween this year.
This is a CLASSIC!

Casey's Louis James Warns: 'Don't Try to Time the Market'
By The Gold Report
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Don't ask Louis James if the gold price has reached bottom. He doesn't care. The senior editor with Casey Research is too busy trying to ferret out those gold miners with a bird in the hand, as he calls it in this interview with The Gold Report. He travels the world, most recently visiting Ethiopia, looking for companies with an overlooked story, an undervalued mine, an underappreciated grade. While James knows no one can time the market, he is quite certain he has found some good values.
The Gold Report: You warn investors against trying to time the market. If even experts don't know a bottom until it's behind them, how do regular investors know when to invest, when to buy the next tranches, and when to cut losses?
Louis James: The wisdom of not trying to time the market is tried and true. Benjamin Graham said the same thing 60 years ago. I shouldn't have to defend this premise. Even though investors all know it, they fervently wish it weren't so; they just can't help themselves.
You can't time the market. A bureaucrat in Washington can open his mouth and send the price of gold up or down 5% in an afternoon.Fortunately, we can look for value. Value tends to be slippery in the junior sector when you have a bunch of companies that, as Doug Casey famously says, are little better than burning matches. They have no income. Even the biggest players in the field are so volatile that Benjamin Graham would never touch them. However, there are things that we can look for. We can compare companies to their peers. We can look at the ounces in the ground and see if something is out of whack. We can look at cash in the bank. The market is so beat up now that some companies with viable projects are trading for cash or less. It's actually possible in a market this beat up to make relatively low-risk acquisitions. TGR: You can't really tell when to buy, but you can tell which one to buy. What's the most important factor to look at when picking a stock?

Select Comfort Management Discusses Q2 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
I will now turn the call over to Shelly for her comments.
Shelly R. Ibach
Thank you, Mark. Good afternoon, and thank you for joining our earnings call today. We're very pleased with our second quarter financial performance. Earnings per share increased 50% from a year ago to a second quarter record of $0.30. Sales increased 27% from a year ago to a second quarter record of $205 million. These results demonstrate the strength of our unique business model and integrated growth formula.
Our vertically-integrated model as a manufacturer and retailer provides multiple points of leverage to maximize operating margin, which was also a second quarter record of 12.6%. Strong cash flow allows us to self fund growth, and we remain committed to achieving the appropriate balance between seizing investment opportunities and managing risks.Our integrated growth formula supports our long-term strategy, focused on delivering an unparalleled customer experience. We are driving traffic and conversion through our brand advertising, exclusive distribution, relationship-based selling experience and proprietary benefit-driven suite of products and services. Again, in the second quarter, we experienced strong units in ASP growth. This validates our differentiated strategy that goes beyond selling mattresses to offering consumers a complete individualized value-added sleep experience. Therefore, we are confident in our ability to drive performance in the short and long term. As we have previously discussed, our strategy has delivered top and bottom line growth regardless of the economic environment or changes in the competitive landscape. In the second quarter, we increased media investment as planned by 37% over prior year. At the same time, we continued to shift media buys to more effectively reach our expanded target consumer and develop local markets. As expected, these actions resulted in the following: improved brand and store awareness; increased traffic, driving a 13% unit increase in our company-controlled channels; and advancement of our local market development strategy, including the launch of our seventh aggressive growth market at the end of the quarter.

COLUMBIA — Michael Dixon Jr. appears to be clear of criminal charges related to a rape accusation by a fellow MU student. But recent changes in the interpretation of Title IX have prompted universities to take more aggressive action against students accused of sexual harassment or sexual assault.
Title IX gives universities greater latitude to punish students accused of sexual assault
Suspicion about the cause of Michael Dixon Jr.'s suspension from the Missouri basketball team has risen since an MU woman accused him of sexual assault.

Use your favorite salad greens for this tasty first course. We liked the spiciness of arugula with the tomato and goat cheese, but any other greens will work.
Cooking Light AUGUST 2005
Preheat oven to 350°.
Combine the tomatoes and 2 tablespoons Maple-Balsamic Dressing; toss well to coat. Arrange tomatoes, cut sides up, on a jelly-roll pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until tomatoes soften. Cool completely.
Combine tomatoes, baby arugula, and onion in a large bowl. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons Maple-Balsamic Dressing; toss gently to coat. Sprinkle evenly with cheese and pepper.

TIME Magazine Releases List of 100 Most Influential People
A few weeks ago, TIME Magazine revealed the names it was considering for its annual list of the '100 Most Influential People in the World.' Reader votes determined one person, while the rest were selected by the magazine's editors.
And now the final list — which includes athletes, actors, entrepreneurs and politicians — is out. So who made the cut?

Google calendar sync
I'm using Google calendar. I tried to synchronise Todoist with it, but with no success. I did exactly what you recommand on your video.
I got this message (in french):
Erreur de paramètres
Impossible d'importer l'agenda depuis l'adresse (link pasted)
Thanks for your help.
All responses
I got another problem: I created tasks with day and hour; they don't appear in Google Agenda. I tried again to paste the link, to no avail.
I'm using Chrome as a browser: Version 25.0.1364.160
Question: do we have to get and paste the link in Google Agenda, every time we add tasks in Todoist?
Thank you for your help.
Hello Michel,
Unfortunately, Google is refreshing the calendar view once a day. If you use any other calendar software - the changes would be instant, but in case of the Google Calendar, they will appear within 24 hours.
We're sorry for the inconvenience, we will try to find a workaround and we also hope that Google will change this one day and refresh the iCal feeds more often.
Best regards,
Thanks David for your answer; we'll wait for Google...
Best regards

PHOENIX – The Arizona Braille and Talking Book Library will celebrate the 80th anniversary of the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped at an open house Friday, Oct. 21 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The library is located at 1030 N. 32nd Street, Phoenix. The event is sponsored by Arizona Friends of Talking Books.
Assistant Secretary of State Jim Drake will present NLS "10-Squared" certificates and pins to Arizona patrons who are 100 years of age or more. There are currently 35 Arizona patrons who are 100 to 105 years old.
The theme for the day will be "Reading Our Way to the Arizona Centennial with Talking Books." Arizona will celebrate 100 years as a state on Feb. 12, 2012. The local volunteer recording studios will be adding a number of Arizona history books to the library's digital audio collection throughout the coming year.
One of the Centennial projects will be to develop a literary map of Arizona. The map will include the best books set in Arizona or written about Arizona during the past 100 years. The goal is to plot 100 titles on the map: fiction and nonfiction, offerings for adults, children and youth, representative of all the points of our state compass. The Braille and Talking Book Library has made a commitment to record any of those titles that are not yet available in audio format for our readers.
The library provides braille and audio books through the mail, at no cost to Arizona residents who find it difficult to read standard print books because of a visual impairment or physical disability. Library Director Linda Montgomery said, "Patrons are thrilled with the new digital audio books and machines. They're more compact, easier to use and the sound quality is excellent."
The National Library Service began providing braille books in 1931. They first recorded books on records in 1934, changed to cassettes in the early 1970s and started the transition to the digital format in 2009. The library has over 60,000 titles to choose from and includes the same types of books you'd find in most public libraries. Almost 500,000 books were loaned to Arizona patrons last year.

Plans for mixed-use project approved
Developers have received final approval from the city for a planned mixed-use project on a large tract in northeast High Point.
The City Council last week voted unanimously in favor of a rezoning request from Jemsite Development LLC of Jefferson that allows construction of up to 280 single-family and multifamily housing units, as well as commercial uses, on about 65 acres at Greensboro and Penny roads.
The project, dubbed Wrenn Farm, is envisioned to develop in phases, possibly beginning with single-family homes on the southern portion of the site, said Jemsite project manager Doug Spell.
The city's approval allows commercial uses, such as convenience stores and drive-through restaurants, on the portion of the site that fronts Greensboro Road between Manor Drive and Flowers Baking Co.
"We anticipate working on both ends at the same time," said Spell.
In 2006, a different developer won approval for a similar proposal that never moved forward. Jemsite's proposal includes more commercial acreage and a smaller area for multifamily development than the initial plan.
The site is across the road from the Pennybyrn at Maryfield retirement community.
Jemsite must extend Penny Road through the development to North Scientific Street once 50 homes are built.
City transportation officials expressed concern about the impact of traffic from the development on the intersection of Greensboro and Penny roads.
If fully built out, the site would generate an estimated 9,758 daily vehicle trips.
Jemsite must widen both roads at the intersection. Officials wanted to require the company to construct a separate right-turn lane for traffic exiting the development from Penny Road on to Greensboro Road to relieve potential congestion at the intersection.
Developers have already proposed building two lanes of egress from the site, and objected to the requirement for the additional lane, noting that it could cost them an extra $50,000.
Council went against the staff recommendation for the extra lane and did not require it in their approval of the rezoning.

Ashton Kutcher is so busy these days -- producing and starring in a second season of MTV's ''Punk'd,'' landing film roles, serving as arm candy for Demi Moore -- that it's easy to forget he still has a day job, starring as horny dimwit Kelso on ''That '70s Show.'' Despite his burgeoning career, however, he's just committed to stay on the Fox sitcom through the 2004-05 season, according to the Hollywood Reporter. His new deal includes a raise, which the Reporter estimates will boost his salary to between $5 million and $7 million per season, or between $200,000 and $280,000 per episode.
In addition to his TV duties, Kutcher is attached to costar with Bernie Mac in the comedy ''The Dinner Party,'' and he's also in talks to star in the next chiller from ''Signs'' filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan, ''The Woods.''

You show a lot of people with their trophy-size fish, so here is my grandson with his first fish. Jackson Breyer of Salem OR caught this July 15, 2011 (the day after his seventh birthday) at St. Louis ponds near St. Louis OR. Excited as he was, he wanted to "catch-and-release" it so it could grow up big and be caught by another kid.
It is not the size of the fish...

Will Hall: Singer Songwriter Musician
Will Hall plays an eclectic mix of folk, blues and jazz music utilising his multi instrumentalist talents. He is a musician whose genre difficult to define as he draws from such a wide range of musical influences, UK folk music to acoustic music to electric blues and soulful jazz. A natural performer reminicent of an early Bob Dylan, Will Hall can make you laugh, cry and then shout for more within one song.

These days, we tend to take for granted that libraries will let us browse to our hearts' content. But in the longer history of libraries, that's actually pretty unusual. Before the twentieth century, and especially in Europe, most libraries had closed stacks: You applied for access (sometimes giving character references), and then you requested a book from a librarian, who would have it fetched for you. Not exactly a recipe for serendipitous browsing.
In 1928, the first Swedish library built on the open-shelf principle opened in Stockholm. Designed by Gunnar Asplund, after a study of U.S. libraries, it took openness seriously as a design feature. And it's fantastic.
The exterior of the building is a bit stark in its abstract monumentality, though it's certainly distinctive:
But the interior is where open access really comes into play. Taking the open-shelf ethos in a beautiful direction, the inside of that main rotunda is a grand reading room lined with shelves and packed with books:
The roundness makes a sort of endless, book-laden wall, without even corners to get in the way. Walk the walls, and the books are yours:
A few years ago, some design students took this idea to an even greater (and playfully unworkable) extreme in a proposal for what they call "an infinite wall of books, with a concrete wave access" at the Stockholm Public Library. It's a bit ridiculous, sure, but it's also incredible. ALL THOSE BOOKS:
I'm not sure I'd want to use it (the acrophobic in me quails at the thought), but it's certainly fun to look at.

text: Minister says Monza future secure and untouchable 3 September, 2013 Start of the 2011 Italian GP at Monza The immediate future of the Italian Grand Prix is secure, claims the Lombardy minister Antonio Rossi, rejecting reports that historic Monza could be the victim as Bernie Ecclestone seeks to further expand the Formula 1 calendar beyond Europe. "The Formula 1 Grand Prix in Monza is untouchable," he is quoted by Tuttosport. "Not only because it is an engine for the economy of Brianza, but also because of Expo 2015," said Rossi. Indeed, he said the Autodromo Nazionale, in the Villa Reale park, will play a role as Milan hosts the next Universal Exposition, Expo 2015. (GMM.) Subbed by AJN.

I just made a mistakeFerrari lick their wounds after bad day at home Faceman They said the same thing about Canada but without massive modernisation… well I hate to think of F1 without Monza! But hey, Bernie was ready to scrap Spa which is just as historic and a way better circuit! Maybe the locals should stop filling their own pockets and actually INVEST in the circuit/future. yeah Monza has boring races most of the time. On top of that, the Italian crowd is very xenophobic. I was there in 2000 with a Mika cap on and I was pretty much kicked out of the stand with soda thrown over me for just sitting there (paid almost 300 bucks for that). Also the penalties for Ferrari's competitors are slapped on easily while Ferrari gets away with much more and never gets a penalty. So time to go. Mercedes supporter forever Time to go my ass… The circuit should stay… And i am glad it's staying… Faceman @yeah you take your chances when you travel… the same thing could and probably would happen at many sports venues so it's on you… try that in some other cities and you'd be risking your life. Not saying it's right or correct, just stating the obvious. Saša Monza-Monaco = Formula 1 Without one of those two, F1 is same as dead. Without Ferrari tho, there is no car racing at all. Also believe that the only worthy opponent to Ferrari is mighty Porsche. But they somehow found F1 not interesting for them. ps: my opinion only, nothing personal

Big Screen Classics
|Michael Curtiz
|Ingrid Bergman, Humphrey Bogart
|Run Time
|Age Policy
18 and up; Children 6 and up will be allowed only with a parent guardian. No children under the age of 6 will be allowed.
This screening is part of our February celebration of love!
As part of the Alamo 100, this screening will feature free collectible CASABLANCA pins while supplies last.
CASABLANCA deservedly remains one of the most beloved Hollywood classics.
One of the true classics that feels like a truly timeless and completely new work of art. Hollywood workaholic Michael Curtiz directs what could have been a paint-by-numbers Hollwood romance into an emotionally draining, incredibly entertaining, perfectly executed tale of love, greed, loss, murder, betrayal and loyalty.
It's influence can't be overstated, it's flawless script will never be praised enough. And there's Bogey and Ingrid Bergman, given the defining performances of their careers.
Curtiz's too-good-to-believe cast also includes Claude Rains, Peter Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet.
There are few films that are unmissable for all types of movie fans, CASABLANCA is one of them (R.J. LaForce).

Audi's have a hard-won reputation for classy, beautifully appointed cabins, clean-cut styling (albeit rather homogenised) and an impression of expense that's reflected in, well, the expense.

coupon settlements
"Texas has a unique solution to the problem of coupon settlements: if the lawyers settle for coupons or non-cash relief, they have to be paid in coupons or non-cash relief." Some scoffed at this as a gimmick, but it seems to have had an effect for the better, most notably in a recent case where the court "prohibited a $1.1 million fee in a $0 settlement over immaterial merger disclosures." [Ted Frank, Point of Law]

The client class members were to receive only gift cards, not cash, in the settlement with Windsor Fashions, a clothing retailer, so Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Brett Klein thought it only fair to provide that Yorba Linda attorney Neil B.

The Washington Legal Foundation announces a new paper by Brian Anderson and Mel Schwing: "Two leading class action defense
attorneys utilize a federal court judge's recent rejection of a settlement as a case study of how CAFA can deter defendants' ability to 'buy peace' through settlements" in cases where the claim is so meritless that it is only worth a small amount of money for the defendant to settle:
While CAFA surely benefited class action defendants more than plaintiffs by transferring more cases to federal courts that offer more fairness and predictability in the adjudication of class actions, it is not a "free-pass" for targets of class action lawsuits.
The quid pro quo of giving class action defendants greater access to federal courts is that CAFA expects defendants to vigorously litigate, not settle via coupon settlements, frivolous class actions. The message of Figueroa is that class action defendants in federal court who try to escape all litigation risk by proposing low-value coupon benefits in exchange for global releases of claims (especially where competing lawyers and attorneys' general are involved in the controversy) will have a difficult time persuading the federal courts to approve such settlements.
Figueroa was the first time in the three-year history of CAFA that state attorneys general used their CAFA right to intervene in a settlement hearing. Last year, I also took a look at CAFA.

No, not $2,402 each. The $2,402 represents the total redemption of coupons by a 1,500,000-member class, or $0.0016 per class member. The Illinois state court (in the judicial hellhole of Cook County) awarded plaintiffs' attorneys Gary K. Shipman of Shipman & Wright $1,000,000, presumably because they represented the face value of the unlikely-to-be-redeemed coupons to be in the millions of dollars. A North Carolina state judge was not impressed after he forced the forum-shopping attorneys (and defendants) to reveal the results of the settlement before dismissing a parallel lawsuit. (Moody v. Sears, Roebuck, & Co.) (via Nick Pace of RAND Institute at CL&P Blog).
Note that the widely-publicized Eisenberg/Miller class-action study, regularly cited for the proposition that state courts were no worse than federal courts in terms of awarding attorneys' fees, would have erroneously calculated this attorney fee as 14% or so of the total settlement value, rather than the actual number of 100%. Garbage in, garbage out.
Pace mistakenly thinks that the class members were deprived of a remedy. Not really, though consumers are certainly worse off because of such litigation. Problems like this arise because a Sears is only willing to settle a frivolous consumer-fraud suit for nuisance amounts, and the plaintiffs' attorneys just want a paycheck, so Sears is willing to pay the protection money to make the meritless lawsuit go away, since it will cost more in litigation expense to defend itself. When neither the plaintiffs' attorneys nor the judge cares about the class members, plaintiffs' attorneys can extract, as here, 99.9% of the settlement amount. If, on the other hand, a court ensures that the majority of a nuisance settlement must go to the ostensible plaintiffs, the plaintiffs' attorneys will be less likely to find it profitable to bring the meritless suit and try to extort a settlement, because defendants will be more likely to find it worthwhile to defend against the suit, and the suit won't happen in the first place. Which does make consumers better off, because then they realize a substantial part of the savings of doing business when there's less protection money paid off to plaintiffs' lawyers like Gary Shipman.
The Class Action Fairness Act fixes these matters—or at least it does in the cases where federal judges apply its rules and accept jurisdiction. First, CAFA effectively consolidates national class actions into a single federal jurisdiction, defendants are unable to play one plaintiffs' attorney off of another, as happens when plaintiffs file several dozen identical and parallel class actions. Second, CAFA requires federal judges to apply meaningful scrutiny to class-action settlements and the award of attorneys' fees, especially coupon settlements like this one. A $2402 coupon redemption with a million-dollar attorneys' fee would have been impossible under CAFA.
When, however, judges misread the jurisdictional provisions of CAFA and remand legitimate removals back to the state courts that routinely approve such travesties, they undo the whole point of the legislation, and hurt consumers in the bargain. That Public Citizen regularly argues for such narrow readings of CAFA suggests their true interests lie with trial attorneys, rather than consumers, and that the true consumer advocates are those who support civil justice reform.
