Deal Litigation Seminar
This seminar is designed as an introduction to mergers and acquisitions litigation. The course aims to provide both a practical and doctrinal perspective on M&A-related litigation and relies heavily on readings and issues derived from practice in the Delaware courts where much contemporary deal | litigation occurs. Students will apply cases and legal principles in various practical situations that may arise in a transactional litigation practice. Familiarity with basic corporate law principles is | [

Just a reminder, to those ambivalent about President Obama’s track record in his first term, of the kinds of things that could await us once he no longer has to run for re-election. From ABC News’ Jake Tapper:
At the tail end of his 90 minute meeting with Russian President Dmitri Medvedev Monday, President Obama said that he would have “more flexibility” to deal with controversial issues such as missile defense, but incoming Russian President Vladimir Putin needs to give him “space.”
The exchange was picked up by microphones as reporters were let into the room for remarks by the two leaders.
President Obama: On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved but it’s important for him to give me space.
President Medvedev: Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you …
President Obama: This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility.
President Medvedev: I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir.
Medvedev got his gist the first time, but Obama went ahead and | made it quite explicit that he would cave to Putin once he’s safely ensconced in his second term. A couple of administration officials could only give half-hearted defenses of the president’s words to Tapper — after all, how do you defend Obama here?

This post is a continuation of last week. The Bureau of Meteorology was right! It has been impossible to get out with a camera for most days this week.

The British Humanist Association (BHA) and the religious thinktank Ekklesia are amongst those who have today criticised as'misguided' a report on faith schools published today by the Centre for Policy Studies
An inquiry has been ordered following claims that some schools - most notably faith schools - have been breaking laws aimed at making admissions fairer. Schools Adjudicator Philip Hunter has been given until July for his probe.
Faith schools appear to be the main offenders when it comes to breaking new rules on admissions, a Government survey has found.
Ed Balls, schools secretary, announced that his Department had randomly picked three authorities to examine
Tory leader David Cameron has refused to condemn parents who pretend that they have Christian beliefs in order to win places in church schools. His comments came in an interview for the Times newspaper.

Release Date: 10.02.07
This year has been jam packed with big releases from both up-and-comers as well as heritage artists alike. It can be tough to sift through the enormous flood of music in an effort to find those few rare hidden gems, but fortunately Tim Williams’ sophomore full-length album, When Work Is Done, did find its way to my small Austin office, and has quickly become an absolute favorite for 2007.
Williams has a tough journey ahead of him, fighting | the preconceived notions that come with being a singer-songwriter. That particular label seems to always imply that indie kids should stay far away, as this will appeal more to slightly cooler soccer moms rather than uptight music snobs. While Williams’ music has the accessibility to draw in those behind the wheel of minivans and participants of elementary school carpools, this album is full of more than enough intelligent storytelling and crafty musicianship to catch the ear of even the most finicky connoisseur of music.

The first flight was 8 hours, which consisted with us sleeping on and off, watching Vipo the Flying Dog the tv show being played (if you don't know what this is you should Google it), wondering if the woman next to Alissa was going to survive the flight, and being jealous of the little kids next to Dannie who got chicken nuggets. We had a two hour layover in Warsaw, Poland where one of the two was spent standing in line and the next was trying to figure out if our flight was changes to a different gate. During this all we were trying to do was decipher the Polish announcements being played over the speakers | . This is when it really hit us that we were going to spend the summer smiling and nodding when someone spoke to us, because we would not know what they are saying.

What does Watson know about birds? - Stephen Baker
Stephen Baker is author of Final Jeopardy. the definitive book on the IBM Watson computer that competed successfully on Jeopardy in early 2011.
I happened to see this heron in a Montclair pond a week ago, and it led me to wonder what my old friend Watson would make of that lovely water bird. Specifically, if Watson’s analysis indicates that a heron is a bird and it also has strong evidence that birds fly, would Watson be able to infer that a heron would fly?
The answer to that is no. The reason is that Watson, for all of its achievements in Jeopardy, is incapable of generalizing, much less coming up with theories. Humans do this all the time. You see toddlers who mess up their irregular verbs, saying that Johnny “falled” or that Timmy “eated.” They’re creating a theory of language based on the patterns they’ve picked up. And when toddlers sees that robins and bluebirds and cardinals fly, | they quickly generalize about birds.
That’s a key aspect of human intelligence, and Watson doesn’t have it. Watson could find many references to herons, both as birds and flying animals, and it could correctly answer a question about what herons do with their wings. But that conclusion doesn’t inform any broader thinking on the subject. That’s not what it’s built for.
So, as we look to the job market, humans who make | [

“New Jersey can, and must do better”
Fatal Crashes Spike as Memorial Day Approaches
West Trenton, N.J. – New Jersey State Police statistics show that 230 people have died in traffic-related accidents so far this year (Jan. 1 through May 25, 2011), which is up almost 18-percent from the 195 crash fatalities this time last year. After years record setting declines, there is no clear reason for the spike. Since many accidents are single vehicle crashes, distracted driving is suspected in early analysis.

AS THIS WEB site stressed before, Microsoft’s "Elevate America" initiative is a publicity stunt. It is wrongly (or fraudulently) being recast as charity. Microsoft repeatedly calls it that, so the more obedient journalists uncritically pass it as what Microsoft claims it to be.

In many ways, “Elevate America” might even be worse than EDGI. Well, EDGI is usually known to the public as “Unlimited Potential”. This was shown before, e.g. in:

(UNEDITED) Douglas Donalson said in his letter ("Bible: Republicans wrong in not helping poor"), "In the Bible, everyone was taxed, it was called tithing....." Tithing and taxes are not even close to being the same thing. Tithing is voluntary, taxes are not. People who pay tithing believe that the money is spent as God sees fit, taxes are spent as politicians see fit. Donaldson also said, "Even in the New Testament people were taxed and if they weren't honest about it they dropped dead at | the Apostles' feet," but that was for lying to God, not for non-payment of tithing, and had nothing whatsoever to do with taxes."

Police followed the vehicle and were able to arrest both. During the arrest they found a firearm in the vehicle and marijuana.
Maxwell had been incarcerated for assault and battery on a police officer at the Northeast Correctional Center in Vinita. Starr's was arrested on charges of harboring | a fugitive and possession of a firearm.

I felt compelled to give my views on this film since it seemed to have left a delayed impression.
It stars Anthony Hopkins as the enigmatic director with Helen Mirren playing Alma, his loyal and talented wife.
For starters, as I watched I kept thinking, who does Hopkins remind me of. Could it be a previous role…Nixon maybe? Then my friend Bill solved the mystery by saying, “Hey, so you saw Hitchcock…what did you think of Uncle Fester?”‘
That’s it, that’s who he looks like. Uncle Fester from The Addams Family. You half expected him to hang upside down in a | nearby closet. Bill felt Hopkins had the voice down but I heard a little Hannibal Lecter thrown in there so, to each his own. He didn’t seem to capture Alfred Hitchcock the way I remember him. He also looks more like an undertaker than Hitchcock did so, go figure.

Tim Brown hopes he’s up for the challenge of a daughter’s braids someday, too.
As a young, single male, I eagerly anticipate the prospect of fatherhood. I feel it is the biggest honor that a man could carry; the ability to have a legacy manifested in flesh. Fathers embody steadfast character and fortify their families and communities with unnecessary fanfare.
Recently, an internet picture surfaced with a man doing the hair of his daughter. Of particular interest was the races of the two involved: the father was white and the daughter was black. An article on the site kulturekritic was written about it, musing aloud the reason why this was such a sentimental piece.
The author of the article goes on to say:
For some reason, people were touched by the image. We’re not sure if it’s because they just love to see any father spending time with his daughter or because they believe that her black daddy probably abandoned her.
While I am not claiming to be | an expert on race relations, the author of this article hints at some underlying points: the image of black fatherhood isn’t a positive one in this country, reinforced daily by inaccuracies in word of mouth and media portrayal. Black women live in fear of abandonment from their paternal counterparts. Or, if the father is a participant in his children’s lives, then his contribution leaves much to be desired.
Moreover, black people are extremely guarded about their ‘dirty laundry’. That is, there are issues within the black community that black people feel should be dealt with in house. For instance, since black men are such unsuitable | [

Philosopherby Rit Nosotro First Published:: 2003
The Enlightenment period had several great thinkers and philosophers, one of them being Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Rousseau was born in Geneva to a watchmaker and a minister’s daughter. His mother, Suzanne Bernard Rousseau, died only days after his birth leaving him to his father who not only failed to educate him but also abandoned him when Rousseau was just ten years old. Relatives of Rousseau’s mother took over care of Rousseau but at age sixteen he ran away from an apprenticeship to travel. During this time he became acquainted with a Madame de Warens with whom he lived for approximately nine years.
In 1742 Rousseau moved to Paris to present and hopefully make a good deal of money off of a new kind of musical notation. In this attempt Rousseau failed miserably. He began secretarial work and copying music after this failure. During this time, he met Therese La Vesseur who bore him five children, although they were not married | until much later in their lives. These five children he later consigned to a foundling home, despite the fact that Rousseau defended the rights of small children and spoke often of the importance of education. This hypocritical act is one thing that makes the life of Rousseau so contradictory. In his book Emile, Rousseau writes that “We are born weak, we need strength; helpless we need aid; foolish we need reason. | [

The Future of Housing Finance: Myths vs. Facts Ad
As Congress and the Administration consider reforms to the nation's mortgage finance system, NAR is advocating on behalf of REALTORS® and consumers to ensure an efficient and adequately regulated secondary mortgage market—a new system that involves some government presence and provides homebuyers with access to affordable, sustainable mortgages. As part of that effort, NAR placed this ad in several prominent Capitol Hill publications, including Politico, The Hill, and CQ Today.

FACT: Banks aren’t lending now because the future is too uncertain in mortgage financing. Homebuyers need a steady, reliable | flow of mortgage funding.
MYTH: Privatizing Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac will help the economy.
FACT: GSE reform is needed, but eliminating all federal involvement would harm economic recovery and put the housing market at greater risk.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Vascular access in patients experiencing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is more reliably and rapidly obtained via needle insertion into the marrow cavity of the tibia, rather than into the humerus or a peripheral vein, according to a trial reported in the Annals of Emergency Medicine online August 19th.
“Results from this study may help stakeholders such as EMS medical directors choose the most appropriate site for first-attempt vascular access in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest,” the authors conclude.
Dr. Jonathan R. Studnek, with the Mecklenburg EMS Agency in Charlotte, North Carolina, and colleagues explain that intraosseous vascular access in the out-of-hospital setting is being used not only in children but also in adults, but the actual effectiveness of various needle insertion sites during cardiopulmonary resuscitation has not been determined.
The team studied this issue in a prospective randomized trial involving all non-traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients in the Mecklenberg EMS catchment area over a | 5-month period. The 182 patients were assigned to one of the three routes of vascular access: tibial intraosseous, humeral intraosseous or peripheral intravenous vascular access.
Paramedics with the agency were intensively trained in all three approaches, with the EZ-IO Power Driver (Vidacare, San Antonio, Texas) being used for intraosseous insertion. The study’s primary outcome was success in achieving a secure needle position with normal fluid flow at the first attempt.
Initial access was successful in 130 patients (71%), but the needle | [

Senior linebacker Christian Robinson sat proudly in the Georgia locker room after the Bulldogs finished off their 42-10 rout of Georgia Tech Saturday.
The Governer’s Cup sat at Robinson’s feet. For the fourth consecutive year, the trophy will find its way to the display box in the Butts-Mehre Heritage Hall along with the rest of Georgia’s awards.
For Robinson, who redshirted in 2008 when Georgia last lost to the Yellow Jackets, the four-year sweep of the Bulldogs’ rival was a fitting end to his final regular season game.

Arkansas has swiftly become a new battlefront of reproductive rights, with the most restrictive abortion ban in the nation. State lawmakers voted last week to override Governor Mike Beebe’s veto of a 12-week abortion ban, meaning it will go into effect this spring.

The Arkansas type of abortion ban, known colloquially as a “heartbeat” ban, is increasing in popularity among anti-abortion forces, with anti-abortion advocates pushing similar bills in such states as Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Ohio and Wyoming.

Bundelkhand’s ravine wastelands. Photo: Keya Acharya/IPS
BUNDELKHAND, India – Narrow, cobblestoned lanes separate the rows of mud houses with cool interiors and mud-smoothened patios, some with goats tethered to the wooden posts. This is Tajpura village, deep in this water-stressed, drought-prone region of northern India.
An area of stark beauty marked by deep ravines in central India, Bundelkhand spans the states of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. The ruins of stone fortresses dotting the landscape betray a history of constant warfare just as the remnants of water courses and irrigation systems speak of peaceable and prosperous times gone by.
Bundelkhand suffers from manmade problems, starting with the government | ’s misplaced land and water policies that have worsened an already stressed climatic situation caused by prolonged droughts and erratic rainfall.
Air dropping of ‘Prosopis juliflora’ seeds as a soil-conservation measure in the 1960s resulted in the plant becoming an invasive species that killed indigenous shrubs and trees, making the soft soils of the ravines leach water rapidly and turned vast areas into wastelands.

- Dynamical equilibration in strongly-interacting parton-hadron matter (2011)
- We study the kinetic and chemical equilibration in 'infinite' parton-hadron matter within the Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics transport approach, which is based on a dynamical quasiparticle model for partons matched to reproduce lattice-QCD results – including the partonic equation of state – in thermodynamic equilibrium. The 'infinite' matter is simulated within a cubic box with periodic boundary conditions initialized at different baryon density (or chemical potential) and energy density. The transition from initially pure partonic matter to hadronic degrees of freedom (or vice versa) occurs dynamically by interactions. Different thermody-namical distributions of the strongly-interacting quark-gluon plasma (sQGP | ) are addressed and discussed.
- Fluctuations and correlations from microscopic transport theory (2009)
- The multiplicity fluctuations in A+A collisions at SPS and RHIC energies are studied within the HSD transport approach. We find a dominant role of the fluctuations in the nucleon participant number for the final fluctuations. In order to extract physical fluctuations one should decrease the fluctuations in the participants number. This can be done considering very central collisions. The system size dependence of the multiplicity fluctuations in central | [

If everything goes as planned, I will soon be in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Four days in town and then off to Ikh Nartiin Chuluu Nature Reserve for eleven days. I’ll post when I can. In the meantime, here’s a few photos of favorite camping spots from past trips.

State of the States: Health Insurance Exchange Developments
This week was relatively slow for exchange watchers as states continue to evaluate whether or not they will establish exchanges and/or expand Medicaid.
Of note this week, Idaho Governor Butch Otter appointed two working groups under the Idaho Health Care Council to evaluate questions related to the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The 26 public and private stakeholders will consider both the Medicaid expansion and the exchange – with Idaho Department of Health and Welfare Director Dick Armstrong leading the Medicaid workgroup and Idaho Department of Insurance Director Bill Deal leading the exchange team. Recommendations are due to the Governor this fall.
In Indiana, Governor Mitch Daniels indicated he would consult his potential successors before making a decision on an exchange, saying, “I don't consider it right for me or my administration to make such a decision that the next administration then has to implement. So I'm going to have to find some way to get input from the next governor." Governor Daniels’s second term as governor comes to a close this year. Current candidates for the top spot in the Hoosier state include Republican | Mike Pence, Democrat John Gregg and Libertarian Rupert Boneham.
While Nebraska is still undecided on the exchange front, with little exchange action in the state to date, the Department of Insurance this week did post an analysis by Mercer examining potential essential health benefits options. For a state by state recap of the essential health benefits selection process, check out the chart on the statereforum blog.
Finally, on the private exchange front, Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. announced this week that its benefit consulting division, Gallagher Benefit Services, Inc. (GBS), is partnering with Liaz | [

According to a study by Dow Jones VentureSource, women executives make venture-companies more successful.The report followed over 20,000 U.S.-based companies over a 15-year period to determine the effect that women leaders had on those companies.
Deborah Gage of The Wall Street Journal explains the report’s discovery:
“Companies have a greater chance of either going public, operating profitably, or being sold for more money than they’ve raised when they have females acting as founders, board members, C-level officers, vice presidents, and/or directors. At successful companies, | the median proportion of female executives was 7.1%; at unsuccessful companies, 3.1%.”

Socks have a thankless job. They spend their days shoved deep inside a shoe. They try desperately to hold onto our foot and not slip around as they get walked on, all the while trying to breathe and not be too overwhelmed by the heat and moisture given off by the foot. Oh, and they still need to stay pretty just in case you hike up your pant-leg to show them off to a fellow knitter.
It takes a special yarn to be able to handle this responsibility. Those yarns that are up to the challenge will reward you with enduring beauty and, depending on the yarn, a possibility for subtle intrigue as well.
I like intrigue, which is why I chose a sock pattern to swatch for this column. Chrissy Gardiner’s Buttercup socks feature a sweet, U-shaped buttercup motif running down the leg and the top of the foot, bordered on either side with a single purl rib column.

We begin with the gold standard of sock yarns, Louet Gems.

“No, no. It’s not schizophrenia. It’s just a voice in my head.” – Harold Crick
Funnyman Will Ferrell temporarily grew up for Stranger than Fiction (2006), a comedy-drama, or sophisticated comedy before he regressed again to ubiquitous potty-mouth roles. This is one of those ingenious concept fantasies about a man who awakens one morning to find that his life is being narrated by a far-off voice that he can’t explain. Emma Thompson supplies the voice, and little do we know if she is an angel from above, or someone just like us. She is revealed as living novelist Karen Eiffel.
Harold Crick is haunted that everything he does is mirrored word for word by Thompson’s narration. It becomes particularly vexing when Thompson’s voiceover forecasts Crick’s impending death that could come anytime soon.
The crucial character flaw of Crick is that he is a painfully dull IRS man that plans out every daily activity to the precise minute, succinct | ly a routine-guy that never breaks his monotonous lifestyle. Perhaps Dustin Hoffman, as a literary scholar can help uncover the mysterious origin of the voices can break Crick out of his shell.

Mr. Neil says the new Audi R8 Spyder "looks spectacular—feloniously low and wide, its fender flares overflowing with alloy wheels and licorice-like sport rubber (19-inch 235/35s in front and 295/30s on the rear)."
The "R8" in the name denotes that it's one of Audi's lubricious midengine, two-seat supercars. The "5.2 FSI" tells us of the V10's engine displacement and fuel strategy ("FSI" means "direct injection" in Audi-speak).
Mr. Neil writes, "My notion is that the Audi is also a last-best example of the classic canvas top, before such a thing is eclipsed by morphable electrodynamic shutters, rain-shedding force fields or whatever."

"The Northern Territory government has agreed to release enough gas to keep the Gove aluminium refinery open for the next 10 years," the government said after the meeting.

The Rebellion in Cherán, Mexico
Cherán, Mexico is a town of 16,000 indigenous Purepechan Mexicans set up in the western state of Michoacán about 200 miles from Mexico City. For years, illegal loggers, protected by drug cartel gunmen, have ravaged the area's communal forests and murdered a number of townspeople. When the residents of Cherán asked their municipal, state and federal authorities for help, they did nothing, so the community took justice into their own hands. About a year ago, the residents of Cherán rose up in an armed rebellion and kicked out the loggers, cartels, and the corrupt local government. Since then, they’ve implemented self-governance based on traditional customs. They defend the borders of the town with community patrols. In Cherán today, there are no political campaigns, no ballots, no political parties, no elections, and no alcohol.
Isolated in the middle of rainy, cold Michoacán | forests, Cherán warms up at night around the barricades. The burning fires are gathering points for the citizens to organize and govern themselves.
