I'm sorry, but these biscuits came out hard as a rock and uneatable. Had to throw the whole batch in the trash. I don't know how I can manage to screw up a 3 ingredient recipe, so I made them twice, but the end result was the same.

PHOENIX (AP) — A group that advocates for pro-gun, state legislation said Wednesday guns should be allowed in Arizona public schools to provide protection against shootings such as the one in Connecticut.
"It's long past time to, at the very least, allow our school faculty and staff the option to be trained and armed," the Arizona Citizens Defense League said in a statement. "Only then will they be capable of dealing with a situation like this."
Amid public debate over what to do in response to the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary, the league is "now looking at things that can be done to heighten security in schools," spokesman Charles Heller said during an earlier interview. "We hadn't been before."
Arizona law now generally bans taking guns on school grounds.
The statement by the league decried the violence in Connecticut and stopped short of announcing a 2013 legislative proposal to allow guns on campuses.
Heller said his group is considering options, but he couldn't discuss specifics. The session starts in mid-January, and no proposed bills filed as yet deal with gun issues.
A teachers union leader said everybody wants to protect students but allowing school personnel to have guns on campuses would pose safety and security threats, partly by opening the door to unintended consequences.
"That's the last thing on their minds, to be carrying firearms in close proximity to students," said Arizona Education President Andrew Morrill. "That's not going to help."
Gun control proposals went nowhere in the Republican-led Arizona Legislature after the January 2011 shooting that wounded then-Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson.
In the next two legislative sessions, state lawmakers twice approved bills to allow guns in many public buildings without airport-style security and once to allow them on higher-education campuses.
However, Republican Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed all three versions of those two bills that reached her desk. She said in May her veto of the latest such bill reflected public unease.
Matthew Benson, a Brewer spokesman, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the league's statement.
Arizona has permissive gun laws and a Wild West heritage. Guns can be carried openly, sometimes jolting newcomers, particularly in urban areas.
On Monday, Brewer sounded disinclined to weaken the right to bear arms in response to the Connecticut shooting.
"I'm not sure if it's something that needs to be addressed in that respect," Brewer said, adding that a stronger behavioral health system "would probably be something that we ought to look into."
Hildy Saizow, president of Arizonans for Gun Safety, said relaxation of gun-free zones at schools and other places would be "really extremist legislation."
Instead, now is the time to support national legislation that should include toughening requirements for background checks of gun purchasers, Saizow said.
Alan Korwin, a Scottsdale author and publisher of books on gun laws, said the media is whipping public sentiment into a "mob mentality" in favor of new gun restrictions after the Connecticut shootings.
That ignores the benefits of allowing guns where they're not now allowed, he said.
Gun-free zones "enable criminals and infringe on the rights and abilities of Americans to protect themselves and their children," Korwin said. "We trust teachers with our children. Certainly they should be qualified" to have guns at schools.
An Arizona legislator who sponsored a bill after the 2011 Tucson shooting to prohibit extended magazines that hold more than 10 bullets said it would be dangerous to allow guns at schools.
"I do not see anything good of a massive arms race on our college campuses or, God forbid, on our elementary schools," said Rep. Steve Farley. "There's no good that's going to come of that."
Farley, a Tucson Democrat who becomes a state senator in January, said he won't re-introduce a new version of his bill in 2013. Such restrictions are best handled by Washington to avoid a patchwork of state laws, he said.
Farley said he proposed the 2011 bill because Tucson shooter Jared Loughner fired 30 shots from a handgun with an extended magazine. Six people were killed and 13 injured in the attack, and Farley said there would have been less carnage if Loughner had to reload sooner.
Farley's bill died after not getting a hearing from a House committee.
Farley also said he wants the Legislature to consider providing adequate funding for programs to identify and treat mentally ill people and to protect children from physical abuse so they don't develop psychological problems.

Join me in a moment of silence @ 12am New Years Eve. Maybe if we start with calm we'll experience more instances of calm for the year ahead. Every year we have started with a bang and its been bang, bang, bang all year long!!!

The Whited AIr
An expressionistic snowcape painted in oils on board, signed by Sarah Gill 2016. Presented behind a white mount and glass within a contemporary slim light oak box frame.
Overall dimension including the frame measures 10.5 x 12.5 inches. The actual artwork within the mount measures 8 x 10 inches.
Inspired by some favourite lines of poetry...
The Snow-Storm
by: Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
Announced by all the trumpets of the sky,
Arrives the snow, and, driving o'er the fields,
Seems nowhere to alight: the whited air
Hides hills and woods, the river, and the heaven,
And veils the farm-house at the garden's end.
The sled and traveller stopped, the courier's feet
Delayed, all friends shut out, the housemates sit
Around the radiant fireplace, enclosed
In a tumultuous privacy of storm.

The Government was battling to defend itself last night against new evidence detailing its close relationship with Rupert Murdoch's News Corp at the time of the £8bn bid for BSkyB.
Documents released at the Leveson Inquiry reveal that:
* Jeremy Hunt may have flouted legal advice not to intervene to support the BSkyB bid by writing to the Prime Minister, stressing the importance of the deal going through.
* The Culture Secretary exchanged more than 50 text messages with the News Corp lobbyist Fréd Michel in the run-up to being given responsibility for the bid, referring to Mr Michel affectionately as "papa".
* David Cameron's most senior aides were taking part in back-channel communications with News Corp's chief lobbyist during the Milly Dowler scandal and while the Prime Minister was publicly condemning the company.
* Mr Hunt's special adviser gave News Corp advance notice about the Government's deal with the BBC over the licence fee in an email marked "in confidence". The Chancellor George Osborne's chief aide also reassured the company on the likely contents of his Budget days in advance.
But the revelation that Jeremy Hunt may have flouted legal advice from his own department is sure to feature in questioning as the Culture Secretary is called before the inquiry next week. A senior lawyer in the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) advised Mr Hunt against intervening in the decision in November 2010 – but on the same day the Culture Secretary wrote to David Cameron stressing the importance of the deal going through.
Patrick Kilgarriff, the DCMS legal director, wrote it was "unwise" for the Culture Secretary to make representations over the bid because at that stage his Liberal Democrat cabinet colleague, Vince Cable, was charged with making an apolitical, "quasi-judicial" decision on whether to allow the takeover.
The Culture Secretary was apparently keen to ensure that Mr Cable made a decision in favour of Mr Murdoch's company. But any intervention by Mr Hunt risked opponents of News Corp's deal making a legal challenge to whatever Mr Cable decided because "it will appear to be purely political in nature", Mr Kilgarriff warned.
Mr Hunt was himself handed the responsibility of deciding the bid in December 2010 after it emerged that Mr Cable had been recorded privately "declaring war" on Rupert Murdoch.
Mr Hunt later supported the bid despite controversy over the power it would hand to Mr Murdoch's company.
Mr Kilgarriff sent his memo at 5.49pm on 19 November 2010. Because the timing of Mr Hunt's memo has not yet been disclosed, it is not clear whether the legal advice was received before or after Mr Hunt wrote to Mr Cameron that day expressing his concern at the impact on business of Mr Cable's intentions and passing on James Murdoch's anger that the bid was being delayed.
In another twist surrounding Mr Hunt's controversial memo, Jonathan Stephens, the DCMS Permanent Secretary, told the Leveson Inquiry that he had not seen Mr Hunt's intervention before it was sent to Downing Street.
Around that time, legal advice was sought about whether Mr Hunt was allowed to intervene in the decision being taken by Mr Cable. To Mr Hunt's apparent disappointment, the advice was a resounding: "No".
In the memo dated 19 November 2010, Mr Kilgarriff wrote: "Whilst there is nothing legally which formally precludes the Secretary of State CMS [Culture, Media and Sport] from making representations to the Secretary of State BIS [Business] to inform the latter's decision as to whether to refer the public interest considerations in this merger to the Competition Commission, it would be unwise to do so."
In a memo on 7 December 2010, Mr Kilgarriff insisted on sticking to his previous advice, writing: "I appreciate that the advice is not what JS [Jonathan Stephens] and possibly JH [Jeremy Hunt] wanted to hear – but I think it amounts to 'Do nothing, do not try to convey your thinking to VC [Vince Cable], he must act quasi-judicially and only through formal processes.'"
After Mr Cable was stripped of the decision and it was handed to Mr Hunt, fresh warnings were given about the need for Mr Hunt to maintain his "quasi-judicial" outlook on the bid. After Mr Hunt's previous support for Mr Murdoch, in June 2010, was spotted, the legal director noted this before he was handed the decision. The lawyer warned: "If so it is not helpful and tends towards an element of pre-judging the issue."

When the 2016 rendition of the Tennessee football spring practice starts on March 7, it may finally help turn the page on a chapter of the offseason that has, thus far, been forgettable.
It also will be the first real chance to get back to football after so many off-the-field distractions. It appears UT will approach the practices with a chip-on-the-shoulder mentality.
Senior outside linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin told the Tennessean's Matt Slovin when addressing the culture around the program: "You can't listen to what people say. We've got to focus on us."
There are plenty of positive distractions from which the Vols should avert their eyes from as well. They are going to be picked high in the polls after surging toward the end of '15 and making continuous steps forward during coach Butch Jones' first three years in Knoxville.
They have to block out all that hype and focus on improving. For several of the Vols, the sessions during March and April are pivotal to the immediate and future facets of their careers on Rocky Top.
Unlike the past few years, most of the starting spots are fairly secured. UT is deep and talented and should be exciting at many positions. But that doesn't mean there aren't spots to be won.
Talent breeds competition, and the Vols have a lot of it after Jones restocked the shelves the past few years. Especially on defense, new coordinator Bob Shoop will be holding open auditions with a clean slate. Playmakers are needed, and there are several areas where the depth chart isn't solidified.
Lots of Vols have opportunities.
This group doesn't even mention guys such as redshirt freshman defensive end Darrell Taylor, sophomore defensive back Micah Abernathy, freshman defensive back Marquill Osborne, sophomore athlete Jauan Jennings and redshirt freshman receiver Vincent Perry, who all could earn key reps.
That just shows you the depth of players who have the chance for big things with big springs.
Let's take a look at eight Vols who have the most to gain during spring drills.

Appeal from the Circuit Court of Tazewell County; the Hon.
IVAN L. YONTZ, Judge, presiding. Decree affirmed.
This suit was filed for the principal purpose of obtaining a judicial construction of two wills. The testators were Ray N. Kettering and Hyla J. Kettering, husband and wife. Both are now deceased and their wills admitted to probate. The two wills contained an identical clause, the pertinent parts being as follows:
". . . I give, devise and bequeath the aforesaid property to the Peoples Bank of Bloomington, Bloomington, Illinois, trustee, in trust for the following purposes:
"A. To invest and reinvest the corpus, collect the income therefrom, and to pay over the net income therefrom to my daughter, Jane Kettering Rankin and her children or the descendants of any deceased child per stirpes, as follows:
"1. The net income shall be distributed as often as the trustee decides but at least once each year.
"2. The net income each year shall be divided equally between my daughter Jane, and her children, or the descendants of any deceased child per stirpes, share and share alike, and paid to them or used for their behalf, as the trustee in its sole discretion sees fit."
There follows a provision for the distribution of the corpus of the trust after the death of the daughter, Jane, to the children, "and the income divided among them in equal shares per stirpes."
The testators were survived by their daughter Jane and four minor children and none other. The problem involved is whether the word "between" as used herein, requires the income be divided into two parts, one for Jane and the other for her children. Or, does the word have the meaning of "among" and require an equal division among the five survivors? The first of these alternatives would give Jane one-half of the income and each of her children one-eighth, whereas the second alternative would give each survivor one-fifth of the income.
The chancellor entered a decree adopting the first alternative as the proper construction. This appeal was perfected in behalf of the executor and the four children by their guardian ad litem.
Although the primary meaning of "between" indicates a division into halves, this court cannot arbitrarily conclude this must be its meaning here, since it is known to be used sometimes in the sense of "among" as where there is a direction to divide among three or more persons. In construing wills, allowance must be made for this possibility even though it may be an incorrect usage.
[1-3] In construing a will, the court will consider the entire will and all its words to ascertain the testator's intention, and the intention, so ascertained, will be carried out whenever it can be done without violating any established rule of law or public policy. The will is read in the light of existing family conditions under which the will was made. In re Estate of Reeve, 393 Ill. 272, 65 N.E.2d 815; Dahmer v. Wensler, 350 Ill. 23, 182 N.E. 799; Norton v. Jordan, 360 Ill. 419, 196 N.E. 475.
The foregoing rule is not in dispute, and the citations given are among those appearing in briefs from both sides. From this point the parties differ.
Appellants argue that the exclusion of Jane from the distribution of the trust corpus shows a preference for the grandchildren over the daughter, so the indicated intention is to give the grandchildren a greater portion of the income.
With this we cannot agree. The distribution of the corpus is deferred until the death of Jane, when she ceases to be an object of the testator's bounty and concern, leaving only the grandchildren to be considered.
We deem it at least as logical to say that the testators intended to give their daughter a major portion of the income during her lifetime, when the need for it may exist, and to discontinue this preference when the need can no longer exist.
It may be conceded that, if the number of persons in the family remains substantially unchanged during Jane's life, the distribution desired by the appellants is compatible with the wording of the wills.
It is obvious the testators did not confine themselves to providing for that precise situation. They deemed it possible that Jane might outlive some of her children. This is shown by Section 2 where they direct that during Jane's life the distribution of income shall be to Jane and her children "or the descendants of any deceased child per stirpes." The direction to distribute per stirpes occurs four times in the context.
A distribution per stirpes is the antithesis of an equal division per capita. Thus, if a child of Jane dies before she does and leaves more than one descendant, these descendants would share the income only in the amount their parent would have taken if living. These shares would thus be less than the shares of children surviving Jane. This is the accepted meaning of per stirpes.
But immediately following the directions in paragraph 2 of these wills for a distribution of income per stirpes, are the words "share and share alike," which implies a per capita division antithetic to per stirpes, so that these words are not compatible with the words "per stirpes."
To give any meaning to the words "share and share alike" they must be regarded as referring back to the direction that the income "shall be divided equally between my daughter Jane, and (her descendants)." Otherwise it would be impossible to comply with this clause under the assumed condition, since it would contain inconsistent dispositions.
The law requires the court to give meaning to all the words of the wills, and to adopt a construction which provides a plan of distribution consistent with all provisions therein. The only construction which does this is that the testators intended the income shall be divided "share and share alike," one-half to their daughter and one-half to her descendants. It is the half bequeathed to the descendants which shall be distributed to Jane's children or the descendants of any deceased child "per stirpes."
The decree in this case directs distribution be made in this manner, thereby giving meaning to the provisions of the wills as the law requires. Accordingly the decree is affirmed.
Decree affirmed.

We wanted to thank you for a truly wonderful week at your beautiful Lake Burton home. I have been wanting to do a lake week with my son's for 15+ years now, but wasn't ready for it until we found the "perfect" lake. Well, we certainly found it! Your home was also just what we were looking for as well. Could not have been a better location on the lake as the view just took our breath away. While some of the homes on the lake are just beautiful, we loved the unpretentious nature of your lake house and found it comfortable and charming. We had everything we needed and enjoyed and appreciated all the "extra's" that you provided in order to insure our comfort and see to our needs. The added bonus was your arranging a well known, respected and talented celebrity cruising by the house several times a day! We never had the opportunity to speak to Alan Jackson, but we sure saw him plenty. He even waved to my son's as they passed by his home while they were skurfing behind our boat and he was relaxing on his dock.
Thanks again,
Tom and Beth McMullen
My wife and I took a spur of the moment vacation to Lake Burton and were fortunate to find this house available. When we arrived, we were pleased to find a very inviting home with spectacular views of the lake and the mountains. The house is well laid out…The well-stocked kitchen opens to an inviting family room. The master bedroom is very comfortable, nicely decorated, with a modern bathroom , Jacuzzi tub and large shower. Two other bedrooms have their own nicely appointed bathrooms. Plan on spending a lot of time on the deck above the boathouse…in all of our travels it is the best place we've found to relax, enjoy nature, soak up the scenery, and unwind.
Pierre and Judy are the quintessential hosts, accommodating our last minute plans, checking on us to make sure we were comfortable and making recommendations for things to do, restaurants, etc. The hospitality was very much appreciated! We are already looking forward to a return visit!
My family spent the weekend at this lake property recently, and it definitely has spectacular views of the mountains and is on a beautiful location of Lake Burton! We took my grand dog and three couples. The house was warm and inviting. The master bedroom and bath were wonderful with a sliding glass door that opens to the back porch. The other two bedrooms had their own private baths which was great! The full kitchen, dining room, and den were open and perfect for our family. The boathouse was absolutely wonderful for fishing and just gathering to spend time together while enjoying the beautiful views. We rented their pontoon boat for a day, and the boat was one of the highlights of the weekend. The rental price of the pontoon boat for the day was so reasonable. We took it over to La Prade's for dinner and enjoyed the sunset on the way back to the house. The owners are awesome to work with, and we plan to rent their home and pontoon boat again this year. My family is still talking about how much fun we had together at this wonderful rental property!
Our family had the best vacation at our stay on Lake Burton. The lake house was perfect for what we needed. I knew this the minute I walked inside and noticed how homey and comfortable the surroundings were. The property was also well maintained and clean and had everything we needed. The boathouse deck and front porch were my favorite places. The beauty surrounding the home was breathtaking and there are also many activities you can enjoy. Swimming, diving off the dock, using the Pontoon Boat to go tubing or just to take a nice relaxing boat ride around Lake Burton. It is a fun place for all ages to enjoy and we cannot wait to go back. It will be a place we'll return to again and again.
This was our second year returning to Lake Burton at this house and we enjoyed it just as much this year as last! The house is charming and beautifully decorated and the boat house/party deck is so much fun and offers amazing views of the lake and mountains. Lake Burton's water is so clear and clean- we spent the whole week swimming and boating! Would thoroughly recommend it - clean, well-maintained, perfect location on the lake, timely service by the owners!
Our family had a wonderful time on Lake Burton. The house was very nice. Just as described. The owners checked in on us via phone when we arrived to make sure we had everything we needed. It was nice to have a bathroom in every bedroom. The kitchen had all necessary appliances and utensils to cook meals. The house has a spectacular view of the lake. We rented a boat from the local marina and everyone was very friendly there. The lake is very clean and gorgeous. We weren't very lucky on the fishing, however, it may have been too early in the year. We really enjoyed our time on Lake Burton and look forward to returning in years to come.

JOSEPH JASPER, ET AL., PLAINTIFFS,v.SAINT ANTHONY HOSPITAL, DEFENDANT.
Saint Anthony Hospital ("Hospital"), defendant in this employment discrimination action brought against it by Joseph Jasper ("Jasper") and Leeandrew Banks ("Banks"), responded by filing a Fed. R. Civ. P. ("Rule") 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss the three-count Complaint and noticing up that motion for presentment on today's motion call. This memorandum order is issued to memorialize this Court's rulings on the motion for the reasons explained in its extended oral in-court statement (which will not be repeated or even summarized in detail here).
First as to Jasper, Hospital's motion for dismissal of his portion of the Complaint on grounds of untimeliness is denied without prejudice. Further factual inquiry is required in that respect, and Hospital is free to renew that motion if such inquiry reveals the motion to be well-founded in factual terms. As for Jasper's substantive contentions, he is dismissed as a plaintiff in both Counts I and II, while Hospital's motion is denied as to Count III (for the latter purpose, Hospital's contention that any claim equating to the concept of hostile work environment would have to be race-based is entirely mistaken--see, e.g., Washington v. Ill. Dep't of Rev., 420 F.3d 658 (7th Cir. 2005) and Burlington, N. & Santa Fe v. White, 548 U.S. 53 (2006). Hospital is ordered to answer Count III as to Jasper on or before November 13, 2009.
As to Banks, Hospital's motion to dismiss him from Counts II and III is granted, while its motion for his dismissal from Count I is denied. Because the surviving counts as to Jasper and Banks reveal that the case presents two separate lawsuits, Banks is dismissed as a plaintiff here without prejudice, with leave being granted to him to file a separate Count-I-type action against Hospital on or before November 20, 2009. In that respect Hospital's counsel has confirmed that it expressly waives any contention that such a refiling would be untimely because of the 90-day provision of Title VII.
Finally, the previously-set November 10, 2009 status hearing date in this action (which is now pending solely as to Jasper) is vacated. Instead a status hearing is set for 9 a.m. December 21, 2009.

I've been using this since it came out. If you have pale skin - this should be your go to bronzer to give you that facial glow! It's good for light contouring and buildable if you want it a bit darker. Most importantly, it's not cakey and I'd say it's almost impossible to make this look streaky like you get with some darker bronzers. I've also used to to highlight my chest/collar bone.
The little brush is goodfor on the go, but I prefer to use a big powder brush for application.
Quite simply this is the perfect 'no blush' blusher (if that's a thing?!), it is so subtle yet make the biggest difference to your makeup. If anything it makes you look healthier as it gives you that been outdoors in the fresh air cheek glow. I love it and wear it everyday. A must have Benefit product.5

The most incredible microscope images of 2016 reveal a beautiful, hidden universe
The world we see with our eyes is just one view of reality, but microscopes can bring a smaller, practically invisible universe within reach.
Photographs taken through the lenses of a high-power 'scope can reveal lifeforms and objects no person has ever seen.
They also highlight beautiful, artistic, and often shocking details in common objects, like soap bubbles, dried coffee, flowers, and butterfly tongues:
The Nikon Small World contest celebrates the most amazing microscope photos from around the world, and 2016's competition was as amazing as any of the years before it: more than 2,000 entries from 70 countries. (I was a judge for the 40th year of the contest.)
Nikon will release the winners on Wednesday, October 19, via its Instagram account, @NikonInstruments.

On October 5, 2006, an objection to the proposed settlement agreement was filed by a group of non-settling defendants collectively known as the "Underwriter Defendants."*fn3 (Doc. # 324.) Another objection was filed by defendant Grant Thornton LLP ("Grant Thornton"). (Doc. # 319.)
The proposed settlement agreement caused several disputes, only one of which remains for the Court to address. First, there was a dispute concerning the extent to which the settlement would bar actions for contribution against BAWAG by non-settling defendants.*fn4 In the wake of oral argument on November 13, 2006, the parties resolved this disagreement, including new language in the settlement agreement to clarify that the settlement bars all contribution claims. (Ltr. from James J. Sabella to the Court, Nov. 28, 2006.)
Second, the parties disagreed as to whether the law required that a judgment credit provision be included in the settlement, that is, whether the settlement agreement should clarify the extent to which, in the event of a later judgment against non-settling defendants, that judgment would be reduced to take account of the settlement with BAWAG.*fn5 This disagreement, too, has now been resolved, and an amended settlement agreement has been submitted to the Court containing a judgment credit provision. (Ltr. From James J. Sabella to the Court, Nov. 28, 2006.)
The amended agreement, however, has not satisfied the objectors. The new judgment credit provision reads as follows:
Any final verdict or judgment that may be obtained on behalf of the Class or a Class Member against a Non-Settling Defendant or Non-Settling Defendants shall be reduced in the aggregate by the greater of (i) an amount that corresponds to the percentage of responsibility of the Settling Defendants for the damages awarded to the Class or a Class Member on the claim on which Judgment is entered against any of the Non-Settling Defendants; or (ii) the amount paid by or on behalf of the Settling Defendants to the Class that is allocated to the claim (pursuant to the Allocation Plan) on which Judgment is entered against any of the Non-Settling Defendants. The Allocation Plan shall be proposed by Lead Plaintiffs and subject to approval by the Court.
(Ltr. from James J. Sabella to the Court, Nov. 28, 2006 (emphasis added)). The new language thus provides for a judgment reduction, but only for monies paid by or attributed to BAWAG that relate to claims that are adjudged to be common between BAWAG and the non-settling defendants. In other words, non-settling defendants will receive credit not for the entire amount of BAWAG's settlement or responsibility, but only for the amount allocated to common claims.
The parties' interests here are not complex: the non-settling defendants would prefer to receive credit for the entire amount of BAWAG's settlement or responsibility, while Lead Plaintiffs would prefer to be able to recover from both BAWAG and the non-settling defendants as long as the recovery sought can be traced to distinct legal claims.
Pursuant to a briefing schedule agreed upon by the parties, the Underwriter Defendants and Grant Thornton submitted papers objecting to the new judgment credit provision (Doc. # 350 ("Underwriter D. Mem."); Doc. # 351 ("Grant Thornton Mem.")), and on January 5, 2007, Lead Plaintiffs submitted their response (Doc. # 353 ("P. Mem.")). This matter is now fully briefed and ready for the Court's consideration.
I. Standards for Approval of Settlements and Judgment Credit Provisions
"Typically, settlement rests solely in the discretion of the parties, and the judicial system plays no role," but in class or derivative actions, judicial approval of settlements is required. In re Masters Mates & Pilots Pension Plan, 957 F.2d 1020, 1025 (2d Cir. 1992). Before approving a settlement in such cases, a district court must ensure that the terms of a settlement agreement are fair, reasonable, and adequate to all parties affected, including third parties. Id. "In other words, where the rights of one who is not a party to a settlement are at stake, the fairness of the settlement to the settling parties is not enough to earn the judicial stamp of approval." Id.
Federal law determines whether one defendant in a federal securities action is entitled to a credit against judgment for a settlement by another defendant. Singer v. Olympia Brewing Co., 878 F.2d 596, 600 (2d Cir. 1989). The fundamental principle on which the law in this area rests is the "one satisfaction" rule, which provides that "a plaintiff is entitled to only one satisfaction for each injury." Id. Under this rule, "a non-settling defendant is entitled to a credit of the settlement amount against any judgment obtained by the plaintiff against the non-settling defendant as long as both the settlement and judgment represent common damages." Id.
A series of cases in the Second Circuit have explained that the one satisfaction rule requires that non-settling defendants receive credit for settling defendants' share of common damages, that is, damages for which both the settling and non-settling defendants are responsible. Settlements have been approved when they provided a judgment reduction formula that gave non-settling defendants credit for the greater of (1) "the settlement amount for common damages," or (2) the "proportionate share" of the settling defendants' fault as proven at trial. Gerber v. MTC Elec. Techs. Co., Ltd., 329 F.3d 297, 303 (2d Cir. 2003). This "capped proportionate share" formula is acceptable because it "ensures that a judgment credit is at least the amount of the settlement for common damages" and therefore complies with the one satisfaction rule. Id. (emphasis in original).
A judgment credit must give non-settling defendants credit for at least the amount of the settlement for common damages, because if it did not, plaintiffs could recover from both the settling and non-settling defendants for the same damages. The one satisfaction rule also requires that non-settling defendants receive credit for any amount actually paid by settling defendants for common damages. Thus, the Second Circuit struck down a judgment reduction provision that gave credit for the lesser of the amount paid or the proportion of fault. Masters Mates, 957 F.2d at 1031. "Absent a showing that damages are not common, a non-settling defendant whose rights against settling defendants are to be barred is entitled to judgment reduction at least in the amount paid by all settling parties." Id.
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 ("PSLRA"), whose applicability to the proposed settlement is not contested by the parties, specifically requires that non-settling parties receive a judgment credit consistent with these common-law requirements.
If a covered person enters into a settlement with the plaintiff prior to final verdict or judgment, the verdict or judgment shall be reduced by the greater of--
(i) an amount that corresponds to the percentage of responsibility of that covered person; or
(ii) the amount paid to the plaintiff by that covered person. 15 U.S.C. § 78u-4(f)(7)(B). Thus, the PSLRA in essence requires that non-settling defendants receive a judgment credit according to the "capped proportionate share" formula discussed above.
II. The Proposed Settlement Agreement
The language of the proposed settlement agreement effectively adds a qualifying clause to each prong of § 78u-4(f)(7)(B):
Any final verdict or judgment . . . shall be reduced . . . by the greater of
(i) an amount that corresponds to the percentage of responsibility of the Settling Defendants for the damages awarded to the Class or a Class Member on the claim on which Judgment is entered against any of the Non-Settling Defendants; or
(ii) the amount paid by or on behalf of the Settling
Defendants to the Class that is allocated to the claim (pursuant to the Allocation Plan) on which Judgment is entered against any of the Non-Settling Defendants. The Allocation Plan shall be proposed by Lead Plaintiffs and subject to approval by the Court. (Ltr. from James J. Sabella to the Court, Nov. 28, 2006 (emphasis added)). This formula might be described as giving a judgment credit for the capped proportionate share of common claims.
Lead Plaintiffs argue that the qualifying language is consistent with the PSLRA. They point out that although § 78u-4(f)(7)(B) requires that a judgment credit in accordance with the capped proportionate share formula be given at the time of final judgment, it says nothing about whether any specific language must be included in any particular settlement. They read § 78u-4(f)(7)(B) as a general requirement that judgment credit provisions give credit for the greater of the amount paid or the fault of the settling defendant. Their language, they argue, is merely a helpful clarification of these requirements that explains that no judgment credit will be given for the settlement of claims under different laws.*fn6
The Lead Plaintiffs point to what they believe is an unfairness that could result if their language is not adopted: the possibility that a settlement could preclude recovery against defendants who are liable under different laws than settling defendants. For example, while BAWAG is accused of violating both the Securities Act of 1933 and the Exchange Act of 1934, the Underwriter Defendants are accused only of violating the Securities Act. Therefore, without Lead Plaintiffs' language, claims against the Underwriter Defendants could be reduced by 100% of the BAWAG settlement even if the eventual judgment found BAWAG liable only for claims under entirely different laws. It would be unfair, they argue, for a defendant who faces claims only under the Securities Act to receive a "windfall judgment credit" for another defendant's settlement of Exchange Act claims.
Lead Plaintiff's argument here is with the one satisfaction rule itself. This rule provides that plaintiffs are allowed only one recovery for any given injury. The Second Circuit's formulations have been clear that the rule deals with underlying damages, not legal claims. "[W]here a settlement and a judgment compensate a plaintiff for the same injury, a non-settling defendant is entitled to a judgment reduction at least in the amount of a prior settlement." Masters Mates, 957 F.2d at 1030 (emphasis added). Put another way, "[a]bsent a showing that damages are not common, a non-settling defendant whose rights against settling defendants are to be barred is entitled to judgment reduction at least in the amount paid by all settling parties." Id. at 1031 (emphasis added). These formulations require an analysis based on the underlying injury, not the pleadings that categorize it or the statutes under which liability is found.
Even if a single injury is deemed a violation of two entirely separate laws, as many injuries are, it would be fundamentally unfair for plaintiffs to recover twice for it. The one satisfaction rule allows, and in some situations requires, the result that Lead Plaintiffs fear, because it provides that a judgment must be reduced in the amount of any common damages, even if those damages are attributable to violations of entirely different laws. Therefore, Lead Plaintiffs' arguments for the necessity of their additional language are unconvincing.
The Underwriter Defendants and Grant Thornton argue that the language of the proposed agreement is inconsistent with both the PSLRA and the common law discussed above, and that it has the potential to allow a double recovery by the plaintiffs. Their arguments are persuasive. As another court in this district noted when rejecting a different attempt to vary the judgment credit formula set forth in § 78u-4(7)(B)(i), courts must "begin with the language employed by Congress and the assumption that the ordinary meaning of that language accurately expresses the legislative purpose." In re WorldCom, Inc. Sec. Litig., No. 02 Civ. 3288, 2005 WL 335201, at *10 (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 14, 2005) (internal citations and quotation marks omitted). The formula set forth in § 78u-4(7)(B)(i) represents a "specific measure of proportionate fault," id. at *11, chosen by Congress and based on the standard common-law formula, and so attempts to vary it must be viewed with great skepticism.
The objecting defendants' concerns about double recovery have merit. As noted above, some of the claims asserted against BAWAG are not also asserted against Underwriter Defendants. If and when a final judgment issues in this case, and the Underwriter Defendants seek to claim a judgment reduction for BAWAG's settlement, Lead Plaintiffs' language would make it necessary to determine whether the BAWAG settlement related to a "claim on which Judgment is entered" against the Underwriter Defendants. If, for example, the BAWAG settlement was allocated in its entirety to a claim not asserted against the Underwriter Defendants, then the Underwriter Defendants would receive no judgment reduction - even if the BAWAG settlement was for common damages stemming from a common injury.
This will not do. The PSLRA and the common law require that non-settling defendants receive judgment credit for settlement of common damages; this credit does not depend upon the law under which the damages are due. If the plaintiffs are entitled to a monetary recovery for a particular loss under the Securities Act, they may not recover for the same loss under the Exchange Act.
The objecting defendants are no doubt concerned that Lead Plaintiffs and BAWAG could choose to allocate all or most damages to a claim not raised against non-settling defendants, and thereby sweep away those defendants' judgment reduction merely by strategically choosing which claim to emphasize in their settlement. (Of course, settling defendants would have every incentive to cooperate, because Lead Plaintiffs would have reason to accept less in settlement if they could be assured that the settlement would not reduce their ability to recover against future defendants.) As Lead Plaintiffs note, however, any allocation of damages will be subject to the approval of the Court, which reduces the likelihood that Lead Plaintiffs and BAWAG could collusively allocate claims to a claim not shared by BAWAG and the non-settling defendants. Under the proposed settlement agreement, damages may be allocated to a claim only pursuant to (1) final judgment, or (2) an allocation plan "proposed by Lead Plaintiffs and subject to approval by the Court." Judicial review would limit the power of Lead Plaintiffs and settling defendants to determine which damages are "allocated" to which claim.
Judicial review of the allocation of claims, however, does not save the settlement agreement, because the allocation of any common damages to a claim not shared by BAWAG and settling defendants would deprive non-settling defendants of their right to receive credit for those common damages. Even if the Court made sure that only damages fairly attributable to one particular statute were so allocated, the process of allocation itself is inconsistent with the one satisfaction rule. What matters is the harm, not the statute under which it is proscribed.
If the damages for which non-settling defendants are liable are in fact not common - that is, if the underlying injuries are not the same - then there is no need for the language of the proposed settlement agreement, because even under the traditional approach non-settling defendants would receive no judgment credit. In this situation, Lead Plaintiffs would not need to worry that the standard capped proportionate share formula will preclude their recovery, because if the harms are separate they are not common damages and recovery for both harms would be proper. If, on the other hand, the damages are common - that is, if they do arise from a common injury - then Lead Plaintiffs' language could allow them a double recovery by treating that single injury as two separate "claims." Accordingly, the proposed language is either unnecessary or unlawful, and in any event it is inconsistent with the PSLRA and the law of this Circuit.
III. Lead Plaintiffs' Request in the Alternative to Sever the Judgment Reduction Provision Lead
Plaintiffs ask in the alternative for approval of the settlement without the judgment reduction provision, in effect reiterating their position that because a judgment credit will be required as a matter of law, see 15 U.S.C. § 78u-4(f)(7)(B), there is no need to include a judgment credit provision in the settlement itself. (P. Mem. at 11.) The Underwriter Defendants and Grant Thornton have previously objected to a settlement with no judgment credit provision, cf. Denney v. Deutsche Bank AG, 443 F.3d 253, 274 (2d Cir. 2006) (holding that non-settling parties would be "unfairly prejudiced by the failure to specify how that full and sufficient compensation [for a settlement of common damages] will be calculated."), and presumably maintain these objections.
If the parties had reached an agreement that the settlement should go forward with no judgment credit provision in the event their preferred provision was rejected by the Court, it would be appropriate to reach the issue of whether an agreement lacking a judgment credit provision was acceptable. However, the parties have conspicuously failed to affirm that they have reached such an understanding. BAWAG has submitted no briefing concerning the revised settlement agreement, and Lead Plaintiffs' alternative request for approval of an agreement with no judgment credit provision is made solely on their own behalf, with no indication of BAWAG's position.
It is true that BAWAG at an earlier stage of these proceedings agreed to a settlement with no judgment credit provision; this was the original proposed settlement submitted by the parties. However, this issue has been the subject of further negotiations since that time. Indeed, the question of whether an agreement could be approved without a judgment credit provision is precisely the question the parties successfully resolved without the Court's intervention after oral argument, resulting in the present amended settlement agreement.
Therefore, the Court having rejected the proposed settlement submitted by the parties, there is at this time no proposed settlement before the Court. In the absence of a genuine agreement, to approve the settlement with an excised judgment credit provision would be to remake the agreement between the parties. Accordingly, Lead Plaintiffs' request to modify the terms of the settlement is denied.
For the foregoing reasons, Lead Plaintiffs' motion for preliminary approval of the proposed settlement agreement and related relief is DENIED without prejudice to subsequent motions for approval of a settlement agreement consistent with the standards set forth in this Opinion.

I have visited a few caves in Texas. Caves sizes have varied from quite large enough to fully enclose a large two floor home, and small enough to require the low ceiling crab walk towards a roomy hollow sphere below street level.

My nephew and I took a tour on a hot summer day, so it was wonderful too cool off under the earth. Guide was knowledgeable, tour was about an hour, which was a bit too long - steep journey out! Fun little gift shop.
Seriously a very beautiful cave. The tour guide was awesome too! Great service, beautiful cave, what more could I ask for lol
Our visit to the Cave Without a Name happened by chance as we were driving and exploring through Boerne. We knew there were caves in the area, but we were not expecting the amazing striations in the chambers, nor the magnificence of the stalactites as we moved through our guided tour of the cave.

Very highly recommended! A wonderful concert in the Throne Room of the Cave. The acoustics are fantastic! The performers were superb. Word to the wise--wear safe shoes, bring a jacket and something to wipe off your seat. Chairs are wet. Also the climb out of the cave is a real WORKOUT!
Not well known, not well publicized, but filled with marvelous, ornate, and unique formations throughout the Cave. The ascent is over 6 stories so pace yourself coming back up from the cave floor. The guides are knowledgeable and entertaining. The tour moves quickly even though it is an hour long and worth every penny. Finally, this small operation is like...
We have been to various Caverns in Texas and this one was outstanding. Special compliments to the guide who kindly took us down before a large school group arrived. Recommended
We took a trip around the local countryside and eventually found the cave . Luckily a tour was about to start. In reception it warned us that was 120 steps down the 120 steps up to make sure you are capable. Mike our guide was waiting at the bottom of the steps. I would advise anyone visiting should wear appropriate...
Went for a concert in the cave, it was very cool! Band played New Age music. Drums, didgeridoos etc. they played about 20 min in total darkness
These caves are not extensive though beautiful. The cost for the caves certainly need to be adjusted in my opinion. Every parent who paid walked away wondering what exactly what they paid for. Once in the caves the tour guides are so concerned about the preservation of the rocks ON THE PATH that they are willing to chide your kids...
How elderly friendly its the tour?

How much does basement waterproofing cost in Ohio?
There are several procedures remove what gets in or to keep water from your basement. The priciest, along with the most reliable, can require considerable excavation, our research workers realized in selecting companies that were highly rated and home-owners.
Interior-centered waterproofing approaches, frequently called damaging side projects, involve shifting away water that's in the house. Mending a water problem in the interior may be an option that is more economical, especially in cases where outdoor function is't sensible or possible.
Drain: This program moves water through trench or a pit in the foundation, combined with a sump pump out of your house. This kind of program also needs to include insulation of basement walls, having a vapor barrier to protect against condensation. Drainage systems start at around $2, 000.
Sealants: We do because they state they neglect too readily sealants are recommended by 't. The price of a sealant-based waterproofing project may range from $4to $8 a square foot.
Epoxy injection: Like sealants, this choice isn't always favored because it may provide just a temporary solution to fill cracks in poured-concrete partitions. Adhesive injections may start at $300.
Outdoor waterproofing projects are occasionally called positive aspect occupations because the intention is to avoid water from getting inside your home.
Excavation: We consider installing margin drain or an underground trench if completed right, to function as the approach that is most reliable. However, the average array for an excavation occupation is $20, 000 large as $80,000, determined by how accessible the targeted areas are, just how much digging is needed and how much landscaping or other
Sodium bentonite: This method consists of adding a clay substance to the dirt around the home to fill cracks and consume water. It's a temporary option and challenging to get a handle on, since the clay can clog outdoor empties. Prices with this strategy start at around $500.

sunny celebration
Style Me Pretty recently posted a beautiful yellow wedding inspiration board that reminded me of a fun & bright yellow daisy shower from marthastewart.com. This sunny theme would work beautifully for a baby shower, bridal shower, or even an anytime brunch or birthday celebration. The first image below shows some pictures from the daisy shower – and the 2nd shows some product finds that I think would compliment this theme well….

so beautiful!
everything looks so bright and inviting…wish I was at a yellow party right now!
Those dresses are adorable! I'd love to have a cupcake tower, they look so fun. But where does one get the actual tower without spending the same amount on it as the cupcakes? I know there has to be an easier way.
I am totally loving all the yellow this week!
super cute!
do you know of any blogs that focus on recipes for big-group entertaining?
Jennifer, you normally don't have me running to Bluefly for dresses. don't you know my resistance is low after a long workweek? ;)
Love the Betsy Johnson Starfish dress but not all of us have $370 to spend on one outfit!
I know – it's seems crazy how much things cost sometimes. I don't think I could personally justify spending $370 on even 2 dresses at this point, really…but maybe this one will go on clearance soon since summer is winding down. at least that's always the dream, right?! ;)
hi Margaret (a.k.a. "greengelato") –
I don't know of any websites off the top of my head that focus on big group entertaining, but here's a GREAT book that might be able to help you out: do it for less parties.
This book has tons of great recipes and theme ideas – and shows the breakdown of every recipe to feed 12, 25, 50 or 75 people – so that you don't have to do the math yourself :) There's also fantastic photography and creative decorating ideas. Definitely a great party read :)
So cute! I wish I were that daring to go yellow for a wedding. If only we could have several weddings…with the same spouse, of course!
help!!! where would i be able to buy/find disposable cupcake tiers like the one featured in the photo?
i'm located in los angeles, any one with recommendations would be awesome!!!
Im making my own grade 8 grad dress. Any ideas?
