Arapahoe High School photo appropriate
Posted By DP Opinion On January 15, 2014 @ 5:01 pm In Letters | 9 Comments
Re: "Photo of Arapahoe High School students insensitive [1]," Jan. 10 Open Forun, and "Arapahoe High reopens," Jan. 8 photo.
I take issue with Cindy Piggott's desire to not have photos such as the Jan. 8 photo of Arapahoe High School students returning to school. It was refreshing to see something positive about the school. What happened was a sad event, but we cannot live in mourning forever; life is ongoing. Claire Davis was a vibrant young person. Would she want others to lose their sense of life and vibrancy? It is doubtful that her parents would, either. The best way to remember Claire Davis is through life and the vibrancy of the young people going forward. Otherwise, those who would put that world down win.

Thank you, Ms. Hombs.

"A good point, Ms. Piggott…just like it would have been a good point if the DP had shown somber students and teachers and someone had written in about why they should have shown the strong will and resiliency of teenagers so that the shooter 'didn't win'." Me – January 10.
I'd bow, but my inflated ego makes me entirely too buoyant to do so.
#3 Comment By primafacie On January 15, 2014 @ 7:38 pm
Beyond the thoughts of Ms. Hombs, the photo most likely was an actual moment involving actual people and their actual reactions.
This is what the news media are supposed to do, rather than shape their depictions to match someone else's preconceived notion of that reality.

Just think: soon in our country school and theater shootings will become so commonplace that we'll yawn and ho-hum and move on to the next level of Candy Crush without another thought to the item on our news feed.

I see nothing wrong with that photo. I only wish that Claire could have been in it. The picture shows that life goes on, and I wish those girls the best.

to try to turn your visions into reality!"But my recent work has given me a deeper un-derstanding of how business people think, and I'venoticed that the cues that tell them what someonecares about are completely different from ours.
As geeks, we can tell what someone cares about by looking at what they're working on and paying attention to. Anyone working like a dog must be enthusiastic about their project. Someone intensely focused on a particular piece of code probably cares about how well it works or how elegantly it's designed. Someone spending a lot of time with a piece of hardware is probably committed to squeezing every bit of performance out of that investment. Someone who spends a night scrubbing a requirements document is probably excited about the idea of solving the real business problem at hand.
But nongeeks don't recognize hard work as an expression of enthusiasm. If there are no verbal or emotional signs of excitement from us, they can't feel our shared commitment to a project. They want more than signs that we understand what they want. They want signs that tell them that we feel the same way at the same time about the same thing. It won't matter if you immediately immerse yourself in the project and spend hours doing research or coding. If you haven't given the business people anything that they interpret as commitment, they will not be able to sense that their passion resonates with you.
And for business people, a sense of sharedenthusiasm is a prerequisite to collaboration. It'show they know that we are all on the same teamand headed in the right direction. Without it, theydon't trust us. And without trust, we have littlehope of working together effectively.

Rexall denies that it or its distributors engage in any violation of government rules. Glenn Gold, RSI's vice president of marketing, recently suggested that if there are problems, they are caused by distributors acting on their own. "We monitor our distributors very, very closely to make sure that people who are not complying with the way we want them to do business do not stay in our distributor force," he said.
South Florida medical leaders share the AMA's concern that selling medically unproven products to patients in doctors' offices could erode public trust in physicians. Mathis Becker, a Plantation cardiovascular surgeon who is president-elect of the Florida Medical Association, says he hopes that the Florida Board of Medicine prohibits the practice. "Unfortunately," he says, "there are always going to be some doctors looking for new ways to make money."
Inside its gleaming, 141,000-square-foot headquarters and manufacturing facility in Boca Raton, Rexall Sundown, the nation's largest seller of vitamins and other dietary supplements, churns out about one billion tablets, capsules, and soft-gel products per month. It employs 1300 people at the plant and its warehouse and distribution center in Deerfield Beach.
Rexall Sundown launched RSI in 1990 to take advantage of the burgeoning interest in multilevel marketing (MLM) and gain an edge over rivals in the fiercely competitive $8.9 billion nutritional-supplement industry. RSI's Gold said that having people sell these products to their relatives and friends is more effective than retailing them in stores, where consumers have dozens of brands from which to choose. RSI has mushroomed into a major division of Rexall Sundown, accounting for almost 30 percent of the company's revenue last year.
Proponents argue that network marketing is the wave of the future in retail selling because it cuts down on administrative costs like warehousing, inventory, and advertising. More than seven million Americans currently serve as distributors for hundreds of network-marketing firms, estimates Robert FitzPatrick, who cowrote False Profits (1997), a book that criticizes MLMs. But total sales are only about $10 billion a year -- which works out to less than $1500 per distributor.
In its required 10K disclosure report to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission last year, Rexall Sundown claimed that 100,000 active distributors, mostly in the U.S., were selling RSI's 150 vitamin, herbal, homeopathic, personal care, and water filtration products. Next week, about 10,000 distributors are expected to attend the company's semiannual corporate conference in Orlando. If past conferences are any guide, attendees will hear star distributors deliver revival-style testimonials about how they became millionaires through RSI.
But FitzPatrick warns that people considering signing up need to take a closer look. "Dietary supplements and MLMs fit together well because both embrace magical thinking," he says. "You can make extraordinary promises without delivering. If someone takes a lot of vitaminC and still gets a cold, he usually doesn't say that the vitaminC failed. MLMs work the same way. People don't look at how many hours they'll have to work, how many people they'll have to contact, or how much money they'll really make."
And those who believe that Rexall Showcase is the same company that ran the once-ubiquitous corner pharmacies also need to think again. New Times asked Gold whether it wasn't misleading for RSI's distributors and promotional audiotapes to claim -- as did one distributor in Gold's presence at a recent meeting -- that the company has operated pharmacies since 1903 and still has thousands of stores. "I never said that I can't answer that," he stammered. "The trademark Rexall continues on. The trademark stands for integrity, honesty, and value. We continue to promote that today, just as it was promoted 75 years ago."
The new AMA ethics rules certainly don't help RSI's case. The guidelines, although not legally binding, allow physicians to distribute the company's products only if they make no profit on them. And physicians are not supposed to sell a product for which the benefits have not been scientifically demonstrated. They are discouraged from selling products that are similar to retail-store products offering comparable health benefits. And to amplify its disapproval, the AMA also prohibits doctors from selling products that are exclusively available through physicians' offices. Physicians also must fully disclose to patients the nature of their financial interests in selling the products.
While Rexall opposes the AMA's adoption of this policy, Gold argued that the practices of RSI's doctor-distributors are perfectly consistent with the AMA stance. "If anything, [the AMA rule] reaffirms the way we do business and makes people proud to be part of Rexall Showcase," he said.
That's hard to figure. Contrary to the AMA policy, solid scientific support for the supposed benefits of many of Rexall's products does not exist. And doctors would be hard-pressed to argue that patients couldn't get comparable products at the supermarket.
RSI's position is that extensive research backs its health-benefit claims regarding the ingredients in its products and that clinical trials on specific combinations of ingredients are now under way. The company claims that evidence is particularly strong for Bios Life 2, a fiber supplement it touts as "patented" for reducing cholesterol. (Actually, the patent simply means that the product formulation is unique, not that it's been proven medically effective in lowering cholesterol.) Indeed, there is good evidence in major medical journals that various types of water-soluble fiber do reduce cholesterol. And many studies in these journals show that the antioxidants contained in products sold by Rexall and many other supplement companies protect against cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Sex EducationSubmitted by Lynne (not verified) on Fri, 03/14/2008 - 1:04pm.
I think that parents and the school system should be responsible to teach our children about sex. I have spent a lot of time teaching my daughter about it through answering her questions and reading age appropriate literature to her. I think that sex education at school would only reinforce what I've been teaching her at home. Lord knows I wish my parents and the schools would have tought me a thing or two about it.

text: Although the majority of U.S. hunters are men, the number of female hunters is on the rise. From 2006 to 2011 the country saw a 25 percent increase in female participation in the sport. A recent NationalGeographic.com article cited a statistic from the Census Bureau that stated that 11 percent of U.S. hunters are women. FoxNews.com reported that in Minnesota alone 72,000 hunting licenses were granted to women last year. Many of the women I spoke with who are new to hunting, like myself, have either attended or plan to attend a Becoming An Outdoors-Woman (BOW) workshop. The BOW program can be found in most states and offers a diverse array of classes to choose from. Everyone I know who has attended not only had a great time, but made friends with like-minded women who lived nearby. This is definitely on my to-do list. As a relatively new resident of Virginia, I still haven't made many acquaintances with whom I can hunt. Since I'm still a novice hunter, I'm not comfortable or capable of hunting alone. Having a network of close-by, more-experienced friends whom I can ring up on a Friday night and say, "Hey, you wanna go hunting?" would be awesome, so that's what I'm working toward. With the key position for the Virginia BOW program needing to be filled, they are currently on hiatus, so if you're looking for a job, give them a call! The West Virginia BOW program is still running, so I may have to take a gander at their schedule and make it happen this year. If you're looking to learn more about the outdoors from hunting and survival skills to archery and shooting skills, check out a BOW program near you!

Xbox One DRM outrage was "useful source" for Sony
Sony took notes from Microsoft blunder and applied them to their PS4 strategy
There was something to be learned from Microsoft's communication breakdown and subsequent backlash from the gaming community over the Xbox One DRM debacle, and Sony has definitely taken note of how the gamers reacted.
There were lots of people who gave their opinions on that issue to my Twitter account before E3," said SCE Worldwide Studios president, Shudei Yoshida, as Sony then put into action their E3 plan.
"It's not that our hardware policies are decided strictly based on user reaction like this, but when we were thinking about what we had to bring across and how to bring it across, it was a very useful source."
SCE Japan Asia president Hiroshi Kawano also added that the company was focused on what the gamers wanted from the Playstation 4, along with pleasing the game developers.
"For this system, we made a list of what people expected from us, debating over each point, with user feedback forming the main basis for the list," explained Kawano.
"The software makers are also telling us that they feel like they really make some fun stuff with it. A new platform always provides the basis for new forms of play, so I'd like to see it connect to a revitalization of the marketplace."

Collective's pop-up restaurant at The Wharf
"Black Label Dining by Collective", launched their Spring Season with a dining series at The Wharf in 2013.
A bold move for the new Auckland hospitality experience company, the accomplished team behind the venture, made a mark on the city's culinary calendar.
Masterminded by Collective's culinary team, the chefs include the prodigies of several of Auckland's top establishments, including Sidart, The Langham and Mollies.
Managing front of house, Rinus Pope relished his debut as a pop-up restaurateur. A multi-award winning waiter and international judge, he enjoyed the challenge of establishing an innovative dining series that appealed to both the discerning and daring of foodies.
"I'm passionate about excellence, and the opportunity to train a new generation of top New Zealand waiters through signature events like the Black Label Dining series" says Rinus Pope.
Black Label Dining ran for an exclusive season at The Wharf from September to November 2013, and was designed and managed by local catering and hospitality company, Collective.
"We created Collective to challenge and change the reputation and style of catering in New Zealand," says Martin Smith, General Manager of Collective.
"To do that, we need to put our food and service 'on stage' for the public to experience it".

Summer Wedding Trends at The Wharf
It's all about glamour this summer at The Wharf.
Latest trends have seen our glamorous brides in traditional dresses with big full skirts, lots of lace - and uber high heels. Even the guests are dressing to impress, with beautiful ball gowns and sharp suits in honour of the occasion.
Bold black bridesmaid dresses have also been spotted, however champagne gold and purple appear to be the more favoured colours this summer. With three or four bridesmaids, bridal parties are bigger too, numbering ten and more at some weddings.
This season the favourite choices in fresh flowers are roses, hydrangeas, the delicate lisianthus, and our "summer water collection" is the most popular table centrepiece. Complete with floating candles around the flowers, this is the perfect table accessory to a reception overlooking the sparkling water at The Wharf.
This summer wedding cakes are big too. Red velvet, white chocolate mud and lemon are the preferred choice, exquisitely presented on crystal chandelier cake stands.
Pleasantly surprising is the trend of grooms becoming more involved in the wedding planning. Turning up to all of the meetings with their own ideas - and taking responsibility for tasks too - we love this trend!
One trend that lasts all year round is that weddings at The Wharf are all about the bride and groom. Reflecting their own style, preferences and tastes, resulting in a wedding that is full of beautiful memories and unique to them. We love working with our couples to ensure they enjoy a once in a lifetime magical experience.
If you are newly engaged and starting to dream about your wedding, make sure you call one of our friendly helpful team now. They can advise you on what to budget, plan and how you too - can have your dream wedding at The Wharf...

Colin Mathura-Jeffree & The Most Decadent Masquerade Party of the Century!
New Zealand's most fashionable man, Colin Mathura-Jeffree chose to celebrate his 40th at The Wharf.
Billed as "The Most Decadent Masquerade Party of the Century", the team from Orange Productions designed and installed spectacularly decadent touches to further enhance the environment of The Wharf.
Featuring a floral chandelier with a water feature, vibrant red fringe drapes throughout the Grand View, stunning lighting design, chandeliers on the Terrace and even Colin's intials on the Harbour Bridge - the venue was glowing with gold and red of the classic Masquerade colours.
While guests enjoyed the cusine and the champagne and cocktails flowed, a Shortland Street hunk performed a topless aerial acrobatic duet with his body painted partner.
Photos and video of the night will be online soon, but in the meantime check out the exclusive features in both New Zealand Woman's Weekly and New Idea magazines.
Tamati's Wedding at The Wharf
So now that the exclusive has been covered in the pages of this week's New Zealand Women's Weekly...we can confirm that Tamati Coffey and his partner Tim Smith celebrated their civil union at The Wharf!
We highly recommend you check out the magazine soon for all the photos and the inside scoop on their stunning wedding. They make a lovely couple - and all of our team loved being involved and working with them on their special day.
We wish Tim and Tamati a very happy and long life together!
Merry Christmas - and welcome to our new website!
Welcome to our new website!

Central Illinois Plant/Seed Exchange
Hey Folks!
Short story - long...Last week I went to the post office to mail my first SASBE. Mostly, I wanted to get the local rules on size and postage. While talking with the postmistress about what and why I was sending, she mentioned that the post office employees regularly share seeds and plants in the spring. I do the same; only because I can't stand the thought of them going to waste.
In six years, only once has anyone else shared. Usually I leave whatever I have to offer in the break room and it disappears. Every spring I take my extra seeds and plants to work. I rarely get feedback or even a "thank you".
Since then, I've seen a few posts from Illinois gardeners and the recent thread on plant swaps. How do you find out about local swaps? (I would much rather give my extras to to a more enthusiastic crowd.) I have seen posts from Chicago area groups. I'm looking for something closer to cental Illinois. Are there any Peoria area/ east of the river groups? Bloomington/Normal? Chambana?
A few people have suggested I visit the local farmer's markets; sell my stuff or trade it with vendors. But, I'm fearful of that sort of environment... I'm really not looking for profit or competition. A more relaxed relationship, sharing the experience/love of gardening...GW in the flesh within a days drive!! :)
Anyway, thanks for reading. DD
you can list your free plants on freecycle.org
you can take divisions to work. Most plants disappear at my work place without a problem. Seeds would not go over there.
you can take them or seeds to our local garden group if you are in one.
you can sell plants on craigslist. I find people will buy in May and no later and they want things that are in bloom at that time. Which is limited.
swapping I've found is an art form. Selling and giving are actually easier.
Now for cheap buys-check your master gardeners and local plant sales usually in May. $3 buys a nice division or even a shrub/ tree!
Thanks Karen! Somewhere in a GW thread I read that local groups/communities designate an informal site like a picnic table in a park pavillion, public building or farmers market to rehome extra plants or seeds. Before I posted here I searched the Garden Clubs of Illinois website. (Nothing local - mostly northern Illinois.)I tried the U of I extension, Illinois Gardener, Craigslist... I finally found the public parks system website listed "Garden club at senior center, 1st Monday of each month, 6:30 p.m.,fee $15.00."
My first thoughts were "Oh no, who can afford $180/year membership. This probably isn't for me." I went anyway...glad I did. (they have since changed the wording to "annual fee".) I met some very kind, welcoming women. I've lived/gardened in this town most of my life - never knew there was an annual plant give away/fund raiser.
I found out that there are many local groups affiliated with Garden Clubs of Illinois. Why doesn't the Illinois site list the various districts, clubs or contact info? My e-mail to them was shunted from club secretary to commitee chairperson, who was willing to forward to my local membership chair...by then I'd already joined.
Anyway, to anyone with the intention of easily swapping, buying, or giving away plants/seeds locally your suggestions were spot on. Freecycle/Craigslist, co-workers, garden clubs, mastergardeners, and plant sales are the best options. Information about the last three take some ongoing searches as they don't advertise thier activities much.

Get AccessAbstract
The World Bank claims to be a "knowledge bank," but do its knowledge products influence development thinking, or is the Bank merely a proselytizer? The World Bank is a prolific publisher; for example, it has published more journal articles in economics than any university except Harvard. But what about their impact on development thinking? Using citation data from Google Scholar it is hard to discern more than a negligible impact for a great many Bank publications. However, a sizeable minority of its journal articles and books have been highly cited. Compared to leading research universities and other international institutions, the Bank's ranking in terms of widely-used citation-based indices is no lower than for its journal article counts. This suggests that the Bank's research does much more than proselytize.

Freeman Da Gospel Rapper
"Freeman Da Gospel Rapper" born Carlos Marcel Stewart June 26, 1984 From the southside of Washington DC growing up and raised, family members being addicted to drugs, sex and night life. While at the tender age of 11 "Freeman Da Gospel Rapper" moved to Maryland with the hopes of starting a new life. From the tough streets of DC to the easy streets of MD has sharpen Freeman to a leader for Gospel recording company "Repent Records". His music provides a window of opportunity for others to get to know Jesus as their Savior & encourage believers of Jesus the Christ in their walk of faith, along with the message of repentance with every situation molding him into the artist and leader that he is today. Born and raised by his mother his entire life while living in a struggling community on the south side of DC to moving to Maryland, "Freeman" moved around to several places giving him the versatile background and spiritual awareness he carries with him. Raleigh North Carolina have also once been home to him. While in High School, like many at that time, he took to rapping as a way of communicating his mind. It wasn't until after he redicated his life to Jesus the Christ that his hobby became a passion. At 20yrs of age, Freeman Da Gospel Rapper remembers sitting in his mom living room calling on the name of Jesus, his world was flipped upside down as Jesus the Christ forgave him of his sins and showed him the path for his life. While rededicating his life he again chosen Jesus as his God, Lord & Savior. Freeman Da Gospel Rapper was rescued by the Lord and began following after Christ.

2012 California Lawyer Attorneys of the Year March 2012
We recognize 57 lawyers throughout the Golden State for their extraordinary achievements in 2013. Among the winners are prosecutors, appellate specialists, and attorneys from small and large firms. With this year's CLAY awards, we recognize lawyers throughout the state whose legal work had a significant impact in 2013. They include state and federal prosecutors, public-interest practitioners, and attorneys from large international firms. The awards identify 26 accomplishments in 19 areas of legal practice, ranging from criminal law, intellectual property, and civil rights to appellate work at the California Supreme Court, the Ninth Circuit, and the U.S. Supreme Court. These victories reflect the breadth and depth of the outcomes achieved by California lawyers between November 2012 and November 2013. Congratulations to all the winners.
Maio won a major victory for students with diabetes when he - together with Paul D. Fogel of Reed Smith and Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund co-counsel Larisa Cummings - persuaded the California Supreme Court to uphold procedures allowing trained school staff members to administer insulin treatments. The practice had been challenged by the American Nurses Association, which contended that only licensed nurses could properly administer the medication. In a unanimous opinion by Justice Kathryn Werdegar, the high court in August upheld statutes and regulations that authorize nonlicensed school personnel to administer insulin when no nurse is available. (American Nurses Ass'n v. Torlakson, 57 Cal. 4th 570 (2013).)
After working more than 13 years on behalf of two Chinese refugees, DeSimone finally won an award for emotional damages from the U.S. government. In 2000, U.S. immigration Officer Thomas Powell demanded sexual favors and money from the women, Xue Lu and Jie Hao, in exchange for granting their asylum applications. Though Powell was caught in a sting operation and died in prison in 2004, DeSimone pressed on and sued the government as Powell's employer.
Young won a huge victory against Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona, with a team including Covington & Burling attorneys Andrew Byrnes, Tammy Albarran, Lesli Gallagher, and David Hults in California; the ACLU Arizona; the ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project; and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund. Arpaio, who has a national reputation as a mouthpiece for the anti-immigration movement, was the target of a class action brought by Latino residents who alleged that his office engaged in unconstitutional racial profiling.
Cumming and Lane devoted eight years and 7,500 hours of pro bono legal and personal time to overturn the Texas death sentence of Cathy Henderson, a woman convicted of murder in the death of an infant she was babysitting. The infant died in what the defendant said was an accidental fall but prosecutors alleged was abuse. With nearly all appeals exhausted and two days from execution, the defense team - including Philadelphia partner Michael Banks and attorney Jani Masselli Wood, then at the Texas Innocence Project - focused on science and biomechanics to show the baby's injuries were consistent with an accidental fall. In light of that evidence, the chief medical examiner who had testified against Henderson recanted his testimony. (Ex Parte Henderson, 384 S.W. 3d 833 (Tex. Crim. App. 2012).) Henderson's death sentence was overturned in 2007, and last year prosecutors agreed not to seek a death sentence at her retrial. The team's success also paved the way for a Texas law authorizing retrials if new, relevant scientific evidence becomes available.
These two prosecutors used the federal racketeering law to take down 45 members of a violent street gang that for decades had controlled a South Los Angeles housing project. The complex, multidefendant prosecution unfolded over two years and targeted members of the Pueblo Bishops Bloods by invoking RICO and Violent Crime in Aid of Racketeering statutes, much as they were used against the Mafia in the 1980s.
Some of the toughest and most controversial criminal cases to pursue are allegations of corruption among law enforcement officers. This team of federal prosecutors brought dozens of civil rights and public corruption charges against the former commander of the Central Contra Costa County Narcotics Enforcement Team (now disbanded) and four law enforcement officers. Badger led the case of two Richmond police officers, and West was the lead on the other cases until indictment, with assistance from Hemann. Kearney and West were co-counsel against former Contra Costa Deputy Sheriff Stephen Tanabe, the only defendant to go to trial. The enforcement team commander, Norman Wielsch, faced charges stemming from schemes to steal drug evidence, extort prostitutes, and make phony arrests. Further corruption included a "dirty DUI" sting operation by a private investigator, working with a divorce lawyer; some of the men set up for arrest were involved in child custody disputes with the lawyer's clients.
In four groundbreaking settlements that advance the interests of blind people, Dardarian and Feingold demonstrated what can be accomplished through structured negotiations without ever filing a lawsuit. In March 2013, the lawyers got Bank of America to agree to upgrade its online and mobile security features, making them more accessible to people with visual impairments. The year before, the lawyers negotiated a first-of-its-kind deal with Walmart Stores Inc. in which the national retailer agreed to distribute prescription containers equipped with audio chips starting in 2013. The new containers provide blind pharmacy customers with critical information about the medications, including dosages, warnings, and expiration dates. And in June, Dardarian and Feingold announced a settlement with Weight Watchers International that gives its visually impaired members better access to the company's website and mobile applications. (Weight Watchers also agreed to strengthen its system for providing information in braille, large print, and audio formats.) Finally, in December the attorneys reached a settlement with the Safeway grocery chain to make its website easier for shoppers with visual impairments to use.
As counsel to the San Jose Unified School District, Dannis negotiated a groundbreaking collective bargaining agreement that incorporates an innovative teacher evaluation procedure. The new system utilizes "consulting teachers" who gather information to validate evaluations; creates a new, non-administrative career track that recognizes "model and master teachers" with significant pay increases; and defines roles among staff to facilitate cooperation. The system is designed both to attract high-quality educators and to encourage educational growth and stability in a challenged school district. "Teachers, in concert with the district, have created something that puts teachers in the center of what happens with student achievement," said San Jose Teachers Association President Jennifer Thomas.
DeRubertis, Greenstein, and Cane argued California's most significant employment case of the year (Harris v. Santa Monica (56 Cal. 4th 203 (2013)). The state Supreme Court decision clarifies how to treat a "mixed motive" job termination. With assistance from Norman Pine of Pine & Pine in Sherman Oaks and Michael Nourmand of the Nourmand Law Firm in Los Angeles, DeRubertis represented Wynona Harris, a bus driver who was fired by the City of Santa Monica. The driver contended that illegal pregnancy discrimination was behind her termination. But Deputy City Attorney Greenstein invoked the "same decision" defense, contending that the termination would have occurred in any event due to legitimate job-related reasons. The court's landmark decision clarified that employees can still prevail if an illegitimate criterion is a "substantial motivating factor." But if employers demonstrate reliance on legitimate considerations, a court may not award damages. Sharing arguments with Greenstein (now retired) was Cane, who represented two amicus groups. Additional help came from Los Angeles sole practitioner Steven Drapkin, and from Joseph Lawrence, Carol Rohr, Anthony Seritella, Meishya Yang, and Jeanette Schachtner at the City Attorney's office.
Johns and Geis successfully prosecuted Walmart Stores Inc. for illegally handling and disposing of hazardous waste throughout the country. The illegal dumping, including pesticides and solvents poured down drains, occurred in 16 California counties between 2003 and 2005, and waste was improperly taken to product-return centers in other states. Ending a nearly decade-long investigation, the company pleaded guilty last May to six counts of violating the Clean Water Act. Walmart will pay more than $81.6 million for its employees' conduct prior to 2006, when the retailer had failed to implement a training program for proper toxic waste management. The fine - which is the second largest for a criminal environmental case, behind only the BP spill in the Gulf of Mexico - also settles Environmental Protection Agency allegations against the retailer. Walmart is required to implement comprehensive environmental compliance agreements and to train all staff.
Lead trial attorney Grant won a major jury verdict for the state of New Hampshire in a groundwater contamination case against ExxonMobil. After a three-month trial and only 90 minutes of deliberation, the jury in April awarded damages of $816 million to New Hampshire for harm caused by the addition of MTBE to various brands of gasoline sold in the state; the additive is classified by the EPA as a "possible human carcinogen." With a market share of about 29 percent, Exxon's share was $236 million. (Prior to trial, Grant had negotiated settlements with 15 other oil companies for $130 million, and the remaining defendant, Citgo Petroleum Corp., agreed to settle after Grant devoted an hour of her opening statement to discussing the company's culpability.) The original lawsuit was filed in 2003. Grant, who is now at Coblentz Patch Duffy & Bass, worked closely with Juvvadi and Kiley, associates from her previous firm, Sher Leff (Kiley also has since moved to Coblentz), and a group from the New Hampshire Attorney General's office. The Pawa Law Group in Boston also helped.
In the largest settlement of its kind in California history, two Arizona-based advocacy groups linked to billionaires Charles and David Koch agreed to pay a $1 million fine to settle a lawsuit filed by the state Fair Political Practices Commission under Ravel's leadership. As nonprofits organized under section 501(c)(4), neither group was required by federal law to disclose the sources of its political contributions. But in 2012 when the groups contributed $11 million against one California initiative to raise taxes (Proposition 30) and to support another to curb the power of unions (Proposition 32), Ravel concluded that both groups had run afoul of this state's more stringent disclosure requirements. Ravel, who now sits on the Federal Election Commission in Washington, D.C., was heavily involved in strategy and drafting briefs; FPPC Enforcement Division chief Winuk provided crucial support in negotiations and presenting arguments. According to Phillip Ung of California Common Cause, the October settlement "sets a precedent for stopping out-of-state individuals who are trying to sneak money into California politics."
This probe into JPMorgan Chase's conduct in bundling toxic mortgage debt for sale as securities provided the catalyst for a $13 billion settlement, the largest civil deal ever reached against a single entity. Wagner, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of California and a member of the Justice Department's Fraud Enforcement Task Force, volunteered to take on claims that the nation's largest bank lied about the quality of mortgage-backed securities it sold to the public.
This legal team won a class action establishing the right of immigrants detained by the government for more than six months to seek release on bond while their cases are pending. (Rodriguez v. Robbins, 715 F.3d 1127 (9th Cir. 2013).) Led by Arulanantham, senior staff attorney for the ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project, and staff attorney Kaufman, the appellate ruling in April was the first by a circuit court to set a bright-line designation for when individuals must be granted bond hearings. The appeal grew from the case of Alejandro Rodriguez, a lawful permanent resident who spent more than three years in immigration detention while the government tried to deport him for minor offenses. Rodriguez prevailed at his bond hearing and was released in 2009 shortly before class certification; he subsequently won his immigration case. In the wake of the decision, more than 1,300 detainees have received bond hearings and approximately two-thirds of those have won release on bond. Joining in the years-long effort were Srikantiah, Tan, and Sidley Austin's pro bono team of Commons, Feingold (admitted in California), and Jacobs. Judy Rabinovitz of the Immigrants' Rights Project and paralegals Eva Fitzhugh and Geneva Tien provided critical support.
Chiang created the strategy and authorized litigation to ensure that life insurance companies comply with California's unclaimed property laws. Representing Chiang's office, Cohen and litigation partner Rosenthal in June negotiated the concurrent execution of global resolution agreements with eleven life insurance companies accused of failing to pay death benefits to the beneficiaries of life insurance policies, and neglecting to turn over unpaid amounts to the state for safe-keeping. The insurers agreed to make policy beneficiaries whole, with interest, and to adopt compliance procedures. The settlements are worth $86.7 million to California beneficiaries, and up to $763 million nationwide. (Thirty-five states have joined in executing the settlement.) Relying on unique theories of liability and constructive notice, Cohen asserted the insurers had failed to use the Social Security Administration's Death Master File to identify deceased policyholders. Cohen and Rosenthal (admitted in California) have since sought injunctions against additional insurers. Associate Alicia M. Clough played an integral role.
McElhinny led Apple to a huge victory over Samsung in one of the biggest battles of the smartphone wars. He headed the 2012 trial in which a jury awarded Apple $1.05 billion, finding that 26 Samsung smartphones and tablets infringed Apple patents and 6 Samsung smartphones diluted Apple's iPhone and iPhone 3G trade dress. A federal judge vacated a portion of the award, and in November McElhinny led a new trial on damages, which were adjusted to $929.8 million. (Apple, Inc. v. Samsung Elec. Co., Ltd., No. 12-CV-630 (N.D. Cal.).) Jacobs was co-lead counsel in the first trial, formulating trial strategy and preparing and examining witnesses. Krevans prepared and presented the design patent and damages portions of the case. WilmerHale's Mark Selwyn and William Lee cross-examined witnesses in the damages retrial, and Lee delivered a closing argument with McElhinny. Stanford Law School professor Mark Lemley said the size of the damages award was significant, as were Apple's unsuccessful efforts to get some Samsung products pulled off the market.
Fishkin and Slatter played an instrumental role in an undocumented immigrant's ground-breaking bid to practice law in California. Sergio C. Garcia, who has been on the wait-list for a green card for more than 19 years, passed the bar in 2009 and convinced the Committee of Bar Examiners in 2011 that he was qualified to practice. The case drew national attention and numerous amicus briefs. Working pro bono, the pair wrote the briefs, and Fishkin handled oral argument at the state Supreme Court in September. Just two days later, the Legislature eliminated the prohibition against admitting undocumented immigrants to the bar solely due to their status. Robert Cooper of Wilson Elser Moskowitz Edelman & Dicker in Los Angeles filed a brief on the statutory question. Fishkin & Slatter associate Samuel C. Bellicini also assisted in the case. In January the court ruled unanimously to admit Garcia to the California Bar (In re Garcia, 58 Cal. 4th 440 (2014)), and in February he was sworn in as an attorney.
Deputy Attorney General Gordon's victory at the Ninth Circuit in August was a milestone for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community. Working with supervisor Tamar Pachter and attorneys Paul Stein and Daniel Powell, Gordon successfully defended a new California law intended to protect youths from sexual orientation change efforts (SOCE). SB 1172, which took effect in 2013, prohibits licensed therapists from seeking to change a minor's sexual orientation, a practice that is widely accepted to be psychologically harmful. Shortly after the bill's passage it drew First Amendment challenges in the state's Eastern District - from David Pickup, spokesman for the National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality, and Donald Welch, a licensed therapist and minister.
Four years after filing a federal challenge to the constitutionality of Proposition 8, Olson and co-counsel David Boies won the right for same-sex couples to marry in California. When the trial began in San Francisco in January 2010, same-sex marriage was legal in only five states; by the end of last year, it was legalized in 17 states plus the District of Columbia. Olson and Boies, of Boies Schiller & Flexner in New York, were tireless public advocates, granting countless interviews. "They were not gay activists, they were trusted voices for basic constitutional principles," says Kate Kendell, executive director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights in San Francisco. "They were very much responsible for countless Americans changing their minds about marriage for same-sex couples." In 2012 the Ninth Circuit upheld the trial court's ruling that Prop. 8 violated the equal protection clauses of the 14th Amendment. And in June when the U.S. Supreme Court finally ruled, it was a milestone, even though the decision turned on the jurisdictional issue of standing.
Theodore J. Boutrous Jr. led Gibson Dunn's legal team in California. And Therese M. Stewart of the San Francisco City Attorney's office was involved in the case every step of the way.
Richard, Long, and Graeler led a trial team on behalf of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation that won the first - and to date only - jury verdict against officers of a failed savings bank for its lending practices during the recent financial crisis. A nine-member jury unanimously found that three officers in IndyMac's homebuilder division were negligent and breached their fiduciary duties by approving 23 loans to housing developers who were not creditworthy. After a five-week trial, the jury found the officers jointly and severally liable for more than $168 million in damages. (FDIC v. Van Dellen, No. 10-CV-4915 (C.D. Cal. jury verdict filed Dec. 7, 2012).)
Dunn won a unanimous California Supreme Court decision on behalf of the city of Riverside and its effort to regulate medical marijuana dispensaries. (City of Riverside v. Inland Empire Patients Health and Wellness Ctr., Inc., 56 Cal. 4th 729 (2013).) In May, the high court declared that state laws don't preempt cities' and counties' authority to regulate dispensaries. "It was one of the most important if not the most important case [of the year] in the land use area - and definitely in the medical marijuana area," says Patrick Whitnell, general counsel to the League of California Cities, which filed an amicus brief in the case. Dunn said he was grateful for the assistance of the late Lee Ann Meyer, who worked of counsel on the case.
Alder had a spectacular year, winning more than $30 million for his injured clients. His string of successes in 2013 included several settlements: $14 million for a motorcycle crash victim in Southern California, $6 million for another motorcyclist in a Nevada case, $5 million for a major vehicle case in Louisiana, and $3.5 million for a teacher who fell down a ravine in Santa Barbara County while attending an academic retreat. Alder is a past president of the Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles, and his contributions go beyond personal injury litigation: In 2012 he established a "Warrior Fund" that provides interest-free financing to young attorneys who need backing to pursue contingency litigation. To date the fund has loaned lawyers approximately $50,000. In addition, Alder has established an extensive data bank of expert depositions that he freely shares with other attorneys. "There's nothing like it," says Woodland Hills personal injury attorney Neal R. Rosenthal. "It's organized, comprehensive, and Mike even pays the postage. It's just an amazing resource, and so is he."
An Orrick team led by McBirney fought for a decade to clear a Modesto landlord of a triple murder and arson conviction that was based on now-discredited forensic analysis. George Souliotes served 16 years in prison after three tenants died in a fire at his rental property. Evidence presented during two trials indicated that a chemical compound on the floor and on Souliotes's shoes was an accelerant. But McBirney, along with Leong and Crane (now with Habeus Corpus Resource Center), used new fire science to identify the compound as part of adhesives commonly used in floor coverings and footwear; the lawyers won a federal finding of actual innocence, overturning the convictions. James J. Brosnahan, George C. Harris, and S. Raj Chatterjee of Morrison & Foerster's San Francisco office came in to represent Souliotes on retrial. Souliotes, age 72 and in ill health, was released in July after entering an Alford plea of no contest to involuntary manslaughter for failing to maintain smoke alarms. Linda Starr of the Northern California Innocence Project provided support.
Peters and Golub persuaded Alameda County prosecutors to join in the habeas petition to release Ronald Ross, convicted of the 2006 shooting of a West Oakland neighbor. Ross was mistakenly identified as the shooter after a police detective inserted his picture in a routine photo line-up shown to a witness. No physical evidence linked Ross to the crime, but without exculpatory DNA evidence his chances of winning a reversal were slim. The team from Keker & Van Nest, including Reid Mullen and David W. Rizk, tracked down 20 potential new witnesses - including a man who then implicated his own father in the shooting; meanwhile, former witnesses agreed to recant their statements. The attorneys dedicated five years and nearly 2,000 hours to the case. After spending nearly seven years in prison, Ross was released in February 2013. The Northern California Innocence Project, led by Linda Starr, screened the case and sought out Keker & Van Nest to represent him.
Coordinating legal work in six O'Melveny offices worldwide, Scrivano anchored a team of U.S. lawyers who assisted in the first successful Chinese acquisition of a publicly listed U.S. company. In the complex deal, originally announced in September 2012, China-based BGI-Shenzhen acquired Complete Genomics Inc., a genome sequencing firm in Mountain View, for $117.6 million.
Wendy Pan, a partner in O'Melveny's Shanghai office, and David Johnson in Hong Kong led the effort for regulatory approval in China. Scrivano led the U.S. team with assistance from Matthew Close in Los Angeles.
Rothman won a historic decision in Sacramento Superior Court last June, securing a key component of long-term water supply for the San Diego County Water Authority. The ruling validated the decade-old Colorado River Quantification Settlement Agreement (QSA) and eleven related agreements, and provided the water district with 180,000 acre-feet of water from QSA sources last year. The win confirmed that the Imperial Irrigation District and three other water agencies had the authority to enter into QSA agreements, and that their environmental studies complied with the California Environmental Quality Act. (Imperial County and several co-plaintiffs had argued they did not.) Significantly, the court also rejected the challengers' claim that it was inappropriate for the QSA project to use a future baseline when assessing possible impacts on the dwindling Salton Sea.
