St. Louis has played on Sunday night in two straight weeks as part of ESPN’s “Sunday Night Baseball” game, with another appearance slated for May 25, and Cardinals manager Mike Matheny is sick of having a different schedule than other teams.
Here’s what he told Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post Dispatch:
That reply, “Consider yourself lucky”–that doesn’t mean anything to us. Our job is to win games, and I feel that this is something that affects us one way or another. Nobody is going to give us any sympathy on this but if you’re seeking an honest reply and what they keep telling us–consider it fortunate–it just doesn’t fit to us. …
It is a compliment that they want to see us on the national scene. (But) I don’t think it’s taken into consideration at all that it makes it harder for us. You get back at 4 a.m. and have to play the next day? You’re telling me that’s not going to affect you? We’re not looking for excuses, but it’s happened to us. You start watching guys get run down.
It’s certainly a fair point and one I’ve heard raised by prominent NFL teams that frequently play on Thursday, Sunday, and Monday nights instead of the usual Sunday afternoons, but like Matheny says it’s tough to feel sorry for a team when the reason their schedule is different is that they’re consistently so good and everyone wants to watch them in primetime.
Goold notes that the Cardinals’ upcoming May 25 appearance on “Sunday Night Baseball” is followed the next day by an afternoon game against the Yankees, so that’s exactly the type of quick turnaround Matheny is frustrated by.
The Rays acquired right-handed reliever Sergio Romo from the Dodgers, the teams announced Saturday night. Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash hinted that the team was in on Romo during the offseason, but couldn’t quite make a deal happen at the time. The righty reliever was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Thursday and will net the club cash considerations or a player to be named later.
Romo, 34, struggled to find his footing in his first season with the Dodgers. He left a closing role in San Francisco to play set-up man to established closer Kenley Jansen, and saw mixed results on the mound with a 6.12 ERA, 4.3 BB/9 and 11.2 SO/9 through his first 25 innings of 2017. It’s a far cry from the sub-3.00 ERA he maintained in 2015 and 2016, but the Rays don’t seem to have ruled out a second-half surge just yet.
The veteran right-hander is expected to step into a bullpen that already boasts a solid core of right-handed relievers, including Alex Colome, Brad Boxberger, Erasmo Ramirez, Chase Whitley and Tommy Hunter. According to FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal, the Rays were intrigued by Romo’s extensive postseason experience, affordability and hefty strikeout rate, but will likely continue to hunt for additional bullpen depth in the weeks to come.
Astros’ third baseman Colin Moran was carted off the field on Saturday night after a foul ball caught him in the left eye. He was forced to leave in the sixth inning when a pitch from Orioles’ right-handed reliever Darren O'Day ricocheted off the handle of his bat and struck him in the face, causing considerable bleeding and bruising around his eye. The full extent of his injury has yet to be reported by the team.
Prior to the injury, Moran was 1-for-2 with a base hit in the third inning. He was relieved by pinch-hitter/third baseman Marwin Gonzalez, who polished off the end of the at-bat by catapulting a three-run homer onto Eutaw Street.
Evan Gattis and Carlos Beltran combined for another two runs in the ninth inning, bringing the Astros to a four-run lead as they look toward their 65th win of the season. They currently lead the Orioles 7-4 in the bottom of the ninth.

Producers Were Forced to Blur Out These Products In A 2003 Britney Spears Documentary
In 2002, pop star Britney Spears was at the height of her power. And with that fame came major product endorsements. However, those endorsements came with restrictions. In an interview, producers of a little-known 2003 Britney Spears documentary revealed which products they had to blur out in their film.
Britney Spears had a multi-million dollar contract with Pepsi Cola
Meanwhile, Pepsi decided that Britney should be the face of their iconic cola. At the time, The Guardian reported that she would “almost certainly” pocket at least $50 million for her involvement with the brand.
However, more recent reports from Parade Magazine place the deal in the $8 million range.
In any case, they paid her enough that they didn’t want filmmakers to photograph or film Spears drinking anything but Pepsi. As a result, filmmaker Judy Hoffman says she had to work around the contract while filming her 2003 Britney Spears documentary Stages: Three Days in Mexico.
The concert documentary chronicles her life on the road during her Dream Within a Dream tour.
The Britney Spears documentary director had to blur out Pepsi products
In a March 2021 interview with Vanity Fair, Hoffman claims that she had to blur products because Spears was a spokesperson for several prominent products. Britney’s record label at the time, Jive Records, also had expectations. As a result, the director made several concessions.
“We couldn’t show her smoking or drinking,” Hoffman told Vanity Fair. “I’d have to get the Marlboros off the table.”
According to the director, she also had to remove any images of beverages that could be considered a competitor for cola giant Pepsi. Therefore, Hoffman blurred even certain water bottles and competing-brand vending machines in the Britney Spears documentary.
Additionally, the director blurred Britney Spears’ cell phone. According to Hoffman, it went against yet another of the singer’s sponsorships. The cell phone images are indistinguishable, except that it appears to be a flip phone.
Per Vanity Fair, Hoffman says her record label “owned” her. Moreover, RCA Records, into which Jive combined ten years ago, didn’t respond to VF’s request for a comment on the matter.
The director says her record label didn’t make it easy for her to shoot the film
Hoffman claims that the changes made it difficult to shoot the documentary as she hoped.
“We really had this idea that possibly we could get to know her and explore what she thought, what life was like, do a real behind-the-scenes, more intimate look at Britney,” Hoffman told the magazine. “We just wanted it to be direct cinema, observational cinema, where whatever happens in front of the camera happens and hopefully it reveals itself…which is really something that Albert Maysles helped to develop.”
The late Maysles was a cinematographer on the film.
Nonetheless, while Hoffman hoped to show Britney Spears’ behind-the-scenes life exactly how she saw it, the blurred images don’t take away from the impact of the documentary. For all the glitz and glamour of Britney’s stage show, Stages: Three Days in Mexico is a surprisingly desolate view of what it was for Britney to be on tour at the height of her fame.

Submitted Under Third Circuit L.A.R. 34.1(a) May 23, 2000.
OPINION OF THE COURT
BECKER, Chief Judge.
This is an appeal from an order of the District Court ruling on an attorneys' fee application following the settlement of a complicated class action that resulted in a $9.5 million settlement for the benefit of the named plaintiffs and unnamed class members. In accordance with their agreement with their clients (the class representatives), and the terms of the class action notice to which no class member objected, plaintiffs' attorneys ("Counsel") applied for attorneys' fees, amounting to one-third of the settlement amount, and approximately $300,000 in costs. The District Court approved the settlement and Counsel's request for reimbursement of costs, but allowed fees of only 18% of the settlement fund, or $1.71 million—far less than the $3.16 million to which the plaintiffs and class members had agreed (or at least, not objected to).
Counsel's papers forcefully portray this case as extremely difficult, their labors as extensive, and the results achieved for the class as quite favorable. Despite this portrayal, supported by voluminous documentation and the absence of objection, the
The Court slightly expanded upon that statement in an order denying a motion for reconsideration, stating that it had examined the record carefully before making its award and that it did not "credit the unexplained and undetailed expenditure of 2500 hours by counsel . . . ." Gunter v. Ridgewood Energy Corp., Civ. No. 95-438(WHW), at 2 (D.N.J. Dec. 29, 1999) (citing the 2500 hours allegedly expended by one of the attorneys as a "mere . . . hindsight prop"). While refusing to credit these hours, the Court declined Counsel's invitation to review billing records that Counsel had offered to provide the Court in their initial fee application. Moreover, the Court did not explain why it refused to credit 2500 hours of the approximately 8500 hours Counsel had worked on the case, even though Counsel proffered documentation for that work.
On appeal, Counsel submit that the District Court failed adequately to explain its reasons for declining to grant their requested fee award, and that it did not apply the relevant criteria for determining such an award. Our jurisprudence in this area requires a "`thorough judicial review of fee applications . . . in all class action settlements.'" In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am. Sales Practices Litig., 148 F.3d 283, 333 (3d Cir.1998) (quoting In re General Motors Corp. Pick-Up Truck Fuel Tank Prods. Liab. Litig., 55 F.3d 768, 819 (3d Cir.1995)). Without a reasoned and documented explication of the rationale for approving or denying a particular fee award, it is difficult, if not impossible, for an appellate court to review such an award for abuse of discretion.
Such is the case here. The District Court's opinion making the fee award and its subsequent opinion denying reconsideration are vague and conclusory. These opinions do not address or apply the relevant criteria, established by our jurisprudence, that a district court should consider in awarding attorneys' fees in a class action. Under the circumstances, we cannot properly review the reasonableness of the fee award. We will therefore vacate the challenged order and remand for proceedings consistent with this opinion.
This case arises from a series of failed oil and gas investments. The named plaintiffs as well as the unnamed class members were investors in a series of limited partnerships involving oil and gas interests formed and promoted by the defendants named in the caption. According to the plaintiffs, the defendants fraudulently marketed and sold approximately $150 million worth of interests in the partnerships between 1986 and 1990. The plaintiffs brought suit in January 1995, alleging violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act ("RICO") and §§ 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Securities Exchange Act"). The complaint also asserted pendent state law claims for fraud and deceit, breach of fiduciary duty, and negligent misrepresentation. In terms of relief, the plaintiffs sought damages as well as the imposition of a constructive trust.
Discovery and pretrial motion practice ensued for the next several years. Counsel's papers reflect that they traveled across the country performing myriad tasks related to the case, including defending depositions and deposing numerous witnesses; conducting informal background investigations into the defendants' allegedly fraudulent scheme; reviewing voluminous
In 1997, both sides moved for partial summary judgment. After further discovery, the District Court denied the plaintiffs' motion, and granted summary judgment for the defendants with respect to the plaintiffs' claims under the Securities Exchange Act and the breach of fiduciary duty claim brought against one of the defendants. The Court denied the defendants' motion with respect to the plaintiffs' RICO and other state law claims. Counsel submit that their efforts to defend against summary judgment on their clients' RICO claims are noteworthy for, during the pendency of this litigation, Congress enacted the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Pub.L. No. 10467, 109 Stat. 737 (codified as amended at 15 U.S.C. §§ 77z-1 to 78u-5), and the Supreme Court issued a RICO decision, Klehr v. A.O. Smith Corp., 521 U.S. 179, 117 S.Ct. 1984, 138 L.Ed.2d 373 (1997), both of which could have been interpreted as barring the plaintiffs' RICO claims. Yet, according to Counsel, they were able to convince the District Court that neither the Act nor Klehr barred their clients' claims, even though case law from other jurisdictions appeared to hold otherwise.
The District Court thereafter set a trial date, and the parties revived settlement talks that had been ongoing since the inception of the litigation. Settlement discussions had initially stalled because the defendants had informed Counsel that they lacked the financial resources to fund any settlement in excess of $1 million. Eventually, however, the parties' discussions proved successful, and in June 1999, Counsel procured, and their clients agreed to, a settlement of $9.5 million. According to the "Notice of Proposed Settlement of Class Action," which was sent to plaintiffs and class members, but was not an "expression of opinion by the [District] Court on the merits of the Litigation or the Proposed Settlement," App. at 87, the "plaintiffs' damages expert" estimated that "the total loss of investment principal sustained by the Class [was] equal to approximately $18.7 million. The proposed settlement amount of $9.5 million represents more than half of that amount." Id. at 89. The settlement provided for payments by the defendants over four years, including $4 million that was paid on June 30, 1999; $1.5 million that was due on or before June 30, 2000; $1.5 million due on or before June 30, 2001; $1.25 million due on or before June 30, 2002; and $1.25 million due on or before June 30, 2003. According to the settlement terms, Counsel remain responsible for overseeing the distribution of these payments.
Having successfully resolved their clients' action, Counsel submitted to the District Court a fee and cost award application, which was accompanied by extensive declarations detailing the nature, quality, and amount of work that Counsel had performed. Based on the alleged lengths that Counsel went to prosecute their clients' case, the claimed difficulty of the case and excellence of the result achieved, and the size of fee awards in similar cases, Counsel requested a cost award of roughly $300,000, and a fee award of 33 1/3% of the $9.5 million settlement. According to Counsel, their requested fee award was not excessive in that it only represented approximately 1.1 times their "lodestar" amount; i.e., the number of hours that Counsel reasonably had worked on plaintiffs' case multiplied by the reasonable hourly rate they could charge for such
In a terse opinion, the District Court approved Counsel's request for costs, but set the fee award at 18% of the settlement fund, or $1.71 million, which was to be paid with interest over time. The Court's analysis, in full, was as follows:
Gunter v. Ridgewood Energy Corp., Civ. No. 95-438(WHW), at 3 (D.N.J. Nov. 16, 1999).
Counsel moved for reconsideration, contending that the 18% fee award represented a penalty to Counsel, because it entitled them to only 55% of their lodestar. The District Court rejected this argument, writing,
Gunter v. Ridgewood Energy Corp., Civ. No. 95-438(WHW), at 2-3 (D.N.J. Dec. 29, 1999).
Counsel timely appealed, challenging the District Court's reduction of their requested fee award. Defendants in the underlying litigation, as well as the named plaintiffs and unnamed members of the class, have elected not to participate in this appeal. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. The District Court had jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331, 1367; 18 U.S.C. §§ 1964(a) and (c); and 15 U.S.C. § 78aa.
Counsel submit that the District Court abused its discretion in not awarding
Counsel also represent that in their initial fee application they offered to provide detailed billing records to substantiate the number of hours they billed to the plaintiffs' case, but that the District Court never asked to see these records, notwithstanding the Court's stated disbelief that Counsel worked the number of hours that they submitted they had. Counsel argue that the District Court abused its discretion in not crediting the number of hours Counsel worked without ever having reviewed these records or having them reviewed either by a special master or the Magistrate Judge who essentially managed the case through to settlement and handled the discovery. Before turning to the merits of these two arguments, we briefly discuss our standard of review.
We give great deal of deference to a district court's decision to set fees. See In re General Motors Corp. Pick-Up Truck Fuel Tank Prods. Liab. Litig., 55 F.3d 768, 782 (3d Cir.1995); see also
Though a district court may have many good reasons to set or reduce a proposed fee award, if those reasons are not explicated, at least in some meaningful degree, we can arrive at one of only two conclusions: either (1) that the district court had good reasons based on the factors enumerated, supra, in footnote 1 to award the fees that it did; or (2) that it ignored those factors and picked an award figure arbitrarily. Either way, if the district court's fee-award opinion is so terse, vague, or conclusory that we have no basis to review it, we must vacate the fee-award order and remand for further proceedings. See Court Awarded Attorney Fees, Report of the Third Circuit Task Force, 108 F.R.D. 237, 245 (1985) (hereinafter "Task Force Report") (noting that "conclusory statements [denying or 10 setting award figures] often are subject to reversal and remand"). For us to act as seers and to attempt to soothsay what was on the district court's mind when setting a fee award is a waste of judicial resources.
Moreover, if a district court does not fulfill its duty to apply the relevant legal precepts to a fee application, it abuses its discretion by not exercising it. See Hensley v. Eckerhart, 461 U.S. 424, 437, 103 S.Ct. 1933, 76 L.Ed.2d 40 (1983) ("It remains important . . . for the district court to provide a concise but clear explanation of its reasons for the fee award."). As the Third Circuit Task Force on Court Awarded Attorney Fees noted,
Id. at 253 (quoting Cunningham v. City of McKeesport, 753 F.2d 262, 269 (3d Cir. 1985), vacated on other grounds, 478 U.S. 1015, 106 S.Ct. 3324, 92 L.Ed.2d 731 (1986)) (emphasis added by Task Force Report).
The problem in this case is that the District Court dealt with the fee-award issue in a cursory and conclusory fashion. The Court spent little more than a few sentences in its two opinions analyzing the fee-award issue in this case. See supra Section I.B (reproducing, in its entirety, the Court's analysis of the fee-award issue). Even after reading the District Court's opinions, it remains difficult to discern both how the Court arrived at the 18% award figure, and why it reached certain other conclusions that it did. The Court mentioned the costs award factors that a court should consider in such circumstances, but did not apply any of the factors, at least insofar as we can ascertain.
The Court's analysis in its two opinions therefore constitutes an abuse of discretion for two principal reasons. First, the Court's statements (reproduced in the margin
Second, and more importantly, when the Court did reference the fee-award factors in its opinions, it neither engaged those factors nor explained its reasoning. In the entirety of its analysis of the issue in its first opinion, the Court wrote: " The nature of this litigation,  its resolution at this stage without the necessity of trial,  the nature of the settlement, and  its value, convince the court that it would place a reasonable burden on the class to award attorneys' fees of 18% of the Settlement Fund, or $1,700,000." Gunter v. Ridgewood Energy Corp., Civ. No. 95-438(WHW) (D.N.J. Nov. 16, 1999) (numbers added). In its opinion denying Counsel's motion for reconsideration, the Court advanced a fifth reason for awarding the fee it did. It expressed disbelief that Counsel worked the number of hours they claimed they did on behalf of the class. See Gunter v. Ridgewood Energy Corp., Civ. No. 95-438(WHW), at 2-3 (D.N.J. Dec. 29, 1999). In the next Section, we address, in turn, each of these enumerated considerations, as well as the District Court's ultimate conclusion. In so doing, we explain why each factor was given too short shrift or was misapplied. We also mention certain factors the Court did not consider, but should have.
The complexity and duration of the litigation is the first factor a district court can and should consider in awarding fees. See supra note 1. From all appearances, this was a complex case, involving the intersection of federal and state law, common and public law, and more specifically securities law, RICO, oil and gas law, and myriad state law claims. The case was actively litigated for over four-and-a-half years, and Counsel were forced to file motions dealing with, inter alia, class certification, complicated discovery disputes, and the vagaries of RICO statute-of-limitations law. Moreover, according to Counsel's representations, they not only deposed numerous witnesses, but also consulted many experts in the field, and successfully defended against a summary judgment motion that was bolstered by authority from other jurisdictions that apparently supported the defendants' litigation position.
In reducing Counsel's fee request from 33 1/3% to 18% the District Court did not say that this was an uncomplicated matter or one of a relatively short duration as compared to similar cases; it merely mentioned the "complexity and duration" factor. Perhaps the Court could have reached such a reasoned conclusion, as it is more familiar with this litigation than this court, even though we have taken pains to review the extensive record. But without that type of statement in the District Court's opinion, it would seem that the "complexity and duration" factor would weigh in Counsel's favor. Therefore, we cannot confidently rely on this factor when, in accordance with our deferential standard of review, we endeavor to accede
The second factor that the District Court invoked in its initial opinion was the fact that this case was resolved via settlement without the need to go to trial. For reasons explained below, if the Court relied on this fact to deny Counsel their requested fee award, it misapplied the law. Commentators discussing fee awards have correctly noted that "one purpose of the percentage method" of awarding fees— rather than the lodestar method, which arguably encourages lawyers to run up their billable hours—"is to encourage early settlements by not penalizing efficient counsel . . . ." MANUAL FOR COMPLEX LITIGATION, supra, § 24.121, at 207 (citing 3 HERBERT B. NEWBERG & ALBA CONTE, NEWBERG ON CLASS ACTIONS § 14.03, at 14-3 to 14-7 (3d ed.1992)).
If the District Court, in fact, denied Counsel their requested fee award merely because Counsel were able to settle this complicated matter, then the Court ignored the stated goal in percentage feeaward cases of "ensuring that competent counsel continue to be willing to undertake risky, complex, and novel litigation." Id. (citing Deposit Guaranty Nat'l Bank v. Roper, 445 U.S. 326, 338-39, 100 S.Ct. 1166, 63 L.Ed.2d 427 (1980) (recognizing the importance of a financial incentive to entice qualified attorneys to devote their time to complex, time-consuming cases in which they risk non-payment)). Procuring a settlement, in and of itself, is never a factor that the district court should rely upon to reduce a fee award. To utilize such a factor would penalize efficient counsel, encourage costly litigation, and potentially discourage able lawyers from taking such cases.
The size of the settlement fund created and the number of persons benefitted is another important factor in fee-award cases; so too is comparing awards in similar cases. See supra note 1. The District Court's reference to the "nature of the settlement" in this case and "its value," Gunter v. Ridgewood Energy Corp., Civ. No. 95-438(WHW), at 2 (D.N.J. Nov. 16, 1999)—without any analysis of whether the $9.5 million that Counsel were able to procure from the defendants was a favorable settlement for the plaintiffs in view of the problems of this litigation, or as compared to similar cases—does little to justify the Court's decision to limit Counsel's requested fee award. Therefore, based on the record before us and the reasons (not) explicated in the District Court's opinion, the "size and nature of the settlement award" do not appear to be an adequate basis for the District Court's reduction of fees. That is not to say that such a basis does not exist, or that the Court did not have good reasons, which it did not articulate, for reducing Counsel's fee award to 18%. In a fully explicated opinion, the
We turn next to two factors that the District Court did not analyze or at least mention in its two brief opinions. As noted above, no one in the class objected to Counsel's request for fees. Yet, a client's views regarding her attorneys' performance and their request for fees should be considered when determining a fee award. See supra note 1. Additionally, it seems that the risk of non-payment in this case was present both because the defendants were close to insolvency, and because other classes of plaintiffs in similar cases against the defendants had lost on similar legal theories. As noted above, the risk that counsel takes in prosecuting a client's case should also be considered when assessing a fee award. See id. In this case, the District Court should have paid attention to these factors, given that they could have militated against the result it reached.
The last two factors the District Court referenced in its order denying Counsel's motion to reconsider were the lodestar cross-checking factor and the amount of time Counsel devoted to their clients' case. See supra note 1 (discussing these factors). In common fund cases, such as this one, we have suggested that it is advisable to cross-check the percentage award counsel asks for against the lodestar method of awarding fees so as to insure that plaintiffs' lawyers are not receiving an excessive fee at their clients' expense. See In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am. Sales Practices Litig., 148 F.3d 283, 340-41 (3d Cir. 1998); In re General Motors, 55 F.3d at 820, 821 n. 40, 822; see also infra note 6 (discussing the important role that district courts play in safeguarding the interests of plaintiffs and class members when awarding attorneys' fees in cases of this sort). As we have explained, a court determines the lodestar by multiplying the number of hours counsel reasonably worked on a client's case by a reasonable hourly billing rate for such services in a given geographical area provided by a lawyer of comparable experience. See In re Prudential, 148 F.3d at 331 n. 102; Task Force Report, 108 F.R.D. at 243.
Unfortunately, in this case, the District Court neither reduced its lodestar calculation to writing, nor gave Counsel a chance to justify their hours billed or their hourly rates. In its opinion denying Counsel's motion to reconsider, the Court stated that it had considered the lodestar factor in arriving at its original fee award. See Gunter v. Ridgewood Energy Corp., Civ. No. 95-438(WHW), at 2 (D.N.J. Dec. 29, 1999). Nowhere, however, in the Court's original fee-award opinion is the lodestar factor even mentioned, much less analyzed. Gunter v. Ridgewood Energy Corp., Civ. No. 95-438(WHW), at 3 (D.N.J. Nov. 16, 1999). To examine the lodestar factor properly, a Court should make explicit
Counsel's original fee application included all of the information necessary to do this cross-checking analysis and to determine how much time Counsel devoted to their clients' case. As is customary in these cases, Counsel submitted extensive briefing and affidavits detailing the hours they spent on the instant litigation, see App. at 91150, listing the number of hours each lawyer, paralegal, and law clerk worked on the case, see id. at 134-35, 148, and providing documentation supporting the hourly billing rates for which they applied, see id. at 171-74. Rather than submit their actual time records, which were voluminous and maintained by Counsel, Counsel informed the District Court that such records "were available for review by the Court in the event the Court wishes to do so." Id. at 122, P 91. Waiting to submit such detailed records until they were requested by the Court seems consonant with the practice in this circuit. See, e.g., In re Prudential, 148 F.3d at 332 n. 107 (noting that "time summaries" were adjudged sufficient in a case in which "the court was only using lodestar analysis as a cross check on the fee award"); id. at 338, 342 (noting further that the district court could permit discovery or request further documentation to verify the statements made in a fee application).
Somewhat inexplicably, however, the District Court rejected the representations made in Counsel's application without requesting or reviewing these additional records, or giving Counsel any indication, before issuing its second opinion, that the Court doubted the veracity of Counsel's claims regarding the number of hours that they expended. Refusing to credit 2500 of the 8424.9 hours submitted by Counsel, and, in the process, chastising Counsel for not explaining and detailing their expenditure of hours, the Court wrote:
Gunter v. Ridgewood Energy Corp., Civ. No. 95-438(WHW) (D.N.J. Dec. 29, 1999).
The Court's statements are called into question by Counsel's representations in their fee application that they would provide the Court with these records if the Court so requested, see App. at 122, P 91; hence, the Court's decision to discount 2500 hours that Mr. Sternberg worked without reference to Counsel's proffer seems arbitrary, if not contrary to the facts in the record. Counsel summarized
Moreover, according to Counsel's representations, Mr. Sternberg is a seasoned class action attorney who "played a major part in many of the most significant class actions prosecuted" by his firm, which itself has appeared in many major class actions. App. at 141. It is not implausible that as a major partner working on this case for four-and-one-half years he would have billed 2500 hours in the matter. Partners and associates in large law firms involved in complex litigation often bill that many hours in a single year. Even assuming that he worked on several other matters during those four and one-half years, it is not prima facie unbelievable that he would have devoted so many hours to the plaintiffs' and class members' file.
The District Court may well have good reason to discredit Counsel's representations regarding Mr. Sternberg, but not without first having reviewed Counsel's time records, inquiring into other cases Mr. Sternberg was working on at the same time, and documenting the reasons why it did not believe Counsel's representations. Even if Mr. Sternberg did not work 2500 hours on the case, the record reflects that he devoted some amount of time to the named plaintiffs' and class members' cause. The record reveals, for example, that Mr. Sternberg made appearances and arguments in this matter. See, e.g., Transcript of Motions, Gunter v. Ridgewood Energy Corp., Civ. No. 95-438(WHW), at 37 (D.N.J. Sept. 9, 1999). Therefore, the District Court should not have discounted his hours altogether. And even if the Court were merely reducing the overall hours figure by 2500 hours as a penalty to Counsel for misrepresenting the number of hours certain lawyers worked on this case, the Court should have said so, so that we could review that decision for abuse of discretion.
In sum, the District Court abused its discretion in this case by not exercising it; and when it did exercise it, by misapplying our jurisprudence. We will therefore vacate the order appealed from and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. In so doing, we express no opinion as to what award should ultimately be fixed.
In mainstream cases, such as this one, we have also suggested that district courts crosscheck the percentage award at which they arrive against the "lodestar" award method, which is normally employed in statutory feeaward cases. See id. at 333 (noting that "[t]he lodestar method is more commonly applied in statutory fee-shifting cases, and is designed to reward counsel for undertaking socially beneficial litigation in cases where the expected relief has a small enough monetary value that a percentage-of-recovery method would provide inadequate compensation"). A court determines an attorney's lodestar award by multiplying the number of hours he or she reasonably worked on a client's case by a reasonable hourly billing rate for such services given the geographical area, the nature of the services provided, and the experience of the lawyer. See id. at 331 n. 102; Court Awarded Attorney Fees, Report of the Third Circuit Task Force, 108 F.R.D. 237, 243 (1985) (hereinafter "Task Force Report"). After arriving at this lodestar figure, the district court may, in certain circumstances, adjust the award upward or downward to reflect the particular circumstances of a given case. See In re Prudential, 148 F.3d at 338-40; In re General Motors, 55 F.3d at 821-22. These calculations should be reduced to writing. See In re Prudential, 148 F.3d at 340-41 (noting that courts must "take care to explain" how they apply the lodestar factor; "[w]ith no explanation for its application, we have no basis to evaluate it"); see also Task Force Report, 108 F.R.D. at 252-53; MANUAL FOR COMPLEX LITIGATION, supra, §§ 24.121, 24.122, at 206, 209-210.
The factors listed above need not be applied in a formulaic way. Each case is different, and in certain cases, one factor may outweigh the rest. For reasons detailed below, what the district court is required to do before reaching such a conclusion is principally to explain why. See infra Sections II.A-B.
Another approach is for the district court to determine the fee arrangement in advance through competitive bidding. See, e.g., In re Amino Acid Lysine Antitrust Litig., 918 F.Supp. 1190, 1192-1201 (N.D.Ill.1996) (Shadur, J.) (employing this approach); In re Cendant Corp. Litig., 182 F.R.D. 144, 150-52 (D.N.J.1998) (Walls, J.) (same); In re Wells Fargo Sec. Litig., 157 F.R.D. 467, 468-77 (N.D.Cal.1994) (Walker, J.) (same); In re Lucent Techs., Inc., Sec. Litig., 194 F.R.D. 137 (D.N.J.2000) (Lechner, J.) (same). This device appears to have worked well, and we commend it to district judges within this circuit for their consideration.
At all events, whatever approach district courts choose to adopt they must safeguard the plaintiffs and class members' interests, because as is often the case (and as it was here), an attorneys' fee motion filed by successful counsel in a common fund award case goes unopposed. Therefore, the plaintiffs' rights need special protection. See Lindy Bros. Builders, Inc. v. Am. Radiator & Standard Sanitary Corp., 487 F.2d 161, 168 (3d Cir.1973), aff'd. in part and vacated in part, 540 F.2d 102 (3d Cir.1976) (en banc), ("`[U]nless time spent and skill displayed be used as a constant check on applications for fees there is a grave danger that the bar and bench will be brought into disrepute, and that there will be prejudice to those whose substantive interests are at stake and who are unrepresented except by the very lawyers who are seeking compensation.'") (quoting Cherner v. Transitron Elec. Corp., 221 F.Supp. 55, 61 (D.Mass.1963)). To that end, a district court that suspects that the plaintiffs' rights in a particular case are not being adequately vindicated may appoint counsel, a special master, or an expert to review or challenge the fee application filed by plaintiffs' attorneys.

US woman gets life for chopping off ex-hubby's genitals US woman gets life for chopping off ex-hubby's genitals - World - DNA A US woman, who was found guilty of cutting off her former husbandâ€™s penis and putting it in a garbage disposal, has been handed life sentence for the bizarre act. Catherine Kieu, from California, may seek parole after seven years. According to Kieuâ€™s attorneyâ€™s, she had mental health problems because she had to suffer abuse as a child and by her estranged hubby also, the BBC reported. But the victim said that he lost part of his life and identity after the attack. Prosecutors from Orange County, Cali., claimed that Kieu, 50, drugged her husband's food with sleeping pills and then attacked him with a knife in July 2011. They also alleged that she had tied him to the bed. Cops said that the couple was going through a divorce at the time of the attack. Kieu had apparently told the officers, at the crime scene, that her husband deserved what happened to him.

The spread of wine culture westwards was most probably due to the Phoenicians who spread outward from a base of city-states along the Mediterranean coast of what are today Syria, Lebanon, Israel, and Palestine. The wines of Byblos were exported to Egypt during the Old Kingdom and then throughout the Mediterranean. Evidence includes two Phoenician shipwrecks from 750 BC discovered by Robert Ballard, whose cargo of wine was still intact. As the first great traders in wine (cherem), the Phoenicians seem to have protected it from oxidation with a layer of olive oil, followed by a seal of pinewood and resin, similar to retsina. Although the nuragic Sardinians already consumed wine before the arrival of the Phoenicians
Regulations govern the classification and sale of wine in many regions of the world. European wines tend to be classified by region (e.g. Bordeaux, Rioja and Chianti), while non-European wines are most often classified by grape (e.g. Pinot noir and Merlot). Market recognition of particular regions has recently been leading to their increased prominence on non-European wine labels. Examples of recognized non-European locales include Napa Valley, Santa Clara Valley, Sonoma Valley, Anderson Valley, and Mendocino County in California; Willamette Valley and Rogue Valley in Oregon; Columbia Valley in Washington; Barossa Valley in South Australia; Hunter Valley in New South Wales; Luján de Cuyo in Argentina; Central Valley in Chile; Vale dos Vinhedos in Brazil; Hawke's Bay and Marlborough in New Zealand; and in Canada, the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, and the Niagara Peninsula and Essex County regions of Ontario are the three largest producers.
The earliest archaeological and archaeobotanical evidence for grape wine and viniculture, dating to 6000–5800 BC was found on the territory of modern Georgia. Both archaeological and genetic evidence suggest that the earliest production of wine elsewhere was relatively later, likely having taken place in the Southern Caucasus (which encompasses Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan), or the West Asian region between Eastern Turkey, and northern Iran.
Human diet was estimated to cause perhaps around 35% of cancers in a human epidemiological analysis by Richard Doll and Richard Peto in 1981. These cancer may be caused by carcinogens that are present in food naturally or as contaminants. Food contaminated with fungal growth may contain mycotoxins such as aflatoxins which may be found in contaminated corn and peanuts. Other carcinogens identified in food include heterocyclic amines generated in meat when cooked at high temperature, polyaromatic hydrocarbons in charred meat and smoked fish, and nitrosamines generated from nitrites used as food preservatives in cured meat such as bacon.
Fertilizing and the use of pesticides in conventional farming has caused, and is causing, enormous damage worldwide to local ecosystems, biodiversity, groundwater and drinking water supplies, and sometimes farmer health and fertility. These environmental, economic and health issues are intended to be minimized or avoided in organic farming. From a consumers perspective, there is not sufficient evidence in scientific and medical literature to support claims that organic food is safer or healthier to eat than conventionally grown food. While there may be some differences in the nutrient and antinutrient contents of organically- and conventionally-produced food, the variable nature of food production and handling makes it difficult to generalize results. Claims that organic food tastes better are generally not supported by tests.
Cooking requires applying heat to a food which usually, though not always, chemically changes the molecules, thus changing its flavor, texture, appearance, and nutritional properties. Cooking certain proteins, such as egg whites, meats, and fish, denatures the protein, causing it to firm. There is archaeological evidence of roasted foodstuffs at Homo erectus campsites dating from 420,000 years ago. Boiling as a means of cooking requires a container, and has been practiced at least since the 10th millennium BC with the introduction of pottery.
In a human epidemiological analysis by Richard Doll and Richard Peto in 1981, diet was estimated to cause a large percentage of cancers. Studies suggest that around 32% of cancer deaths may be avoidable by changes to the diet. Some of these cancers may be caused by carcinogens in food generated during the cooking process, although it is often difficult to identify the specific components in diet that serve to increase cancer risk. Many foods, such as beef steak and broccoli, contain low concentrations of both carcinogens and anticarcinogens.
Types of fat include vegetable oils, animal products such as butter and lard, as well as fats from grains, including maize and flax oils. Fats are used in a number of ways in cooking and baking. To prepare stir fries, grilled cheese or pancakes, the pan or griddle is often coated with fat or oil. Fats are also used as an ingredient in baked goods such as cookies, cakes and pies. Fats can reach temperatures higher than the boiling point of water, and are often used to conduct high heat to other ingredients, such as in frying, deep frying or sautéing. Fats are used to add flavor to food (e.g., butter or bacon fat), prevent food from sticking to pans and create a desirable texture.
Food is any substance consumed to provide nutritional support for an organism. It is usually of plant or animal origin, and contains essential nutrients, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals. The substance is ingested by an organism and assimilated by the organism's cells to provide energy, maintain life, or stimulate growth.

Stating preferences in terms of ethnicity on a dating site can lead to anger from some people.
They may take it personally that you are excluding their ethnicity from your preferences.
They may feel like you are acting as though your ethnicity is above theirs.
This is how some people are on a dating site.
Unfortunately, people like this are often insecure about their ethnicity in the real world.
These are the kind of people that may use their ethnicity as an excuse for why they haven’t achieved what they wanted in life or for why they weren’t treated with respect by someone.
In essence, they will use their ethnicity as an excuse for a lot of things that they don’t want to take personal responsibility for.
Hence, try not to take the fact that some people on a dating site get angry because you have preferences in terms of ethnicity personally.
Oftentimes, these people use their ethnicity as their escape from accountability in the real world itself.
If you have stated that you have preferences in terms of ethnicity on a dating site, that is your prerogative.
Try not to allow people who may show anger because of that preference to guilt-trip you on a dating site.
Again, oftentimes, these people will use their ethnicity as a way to circumvent responsibility for their actions in the real world.
In showing anger on a dating site, they are merely displaying a characteristic that they most likely have in the real world, insecurity.
No one who is truly confident and self-assured in who they are will take offense to your preferences on a dating site.
No one who has had a life where they take accountability for their actions, will show anger because of your preferences in terms of ethnicity.
Another reason why stating your preferences can lead to anger on a dating site is because the people who get angry are already not the most desirable people to date in the first place.
When they are taking out the time to show anger at someone that they don’t personally know on a dating site simply because that person has preferences in terms of ethnicity, they are showing that they are not that great of a catch themselves.
They have way too much time on their hands to be expending the effort in sending you angry messages.
That is the kind of time and effort that would be better spent engaging in conversations with other people on the dating site.
But they are not doing that.
Instead, they are taking the time to write you angry messages in response to your preferences.
Clearly, other people who may not even have any preferences in terms of ethnicity on the dating site have no interest in engaging in conversations with these angry people.
This lets you know that these angry people have character flaws that go way beyond issues of ethnicity.
They are just not good people, period.
They will not be able to find anyone else to date on the dating site regardless of whether that person has preferences in terms of ethnicity or not.
Try to keep this in mind when you receive angry messages from people like this.
Try not to let them get you emotionally rattled.
You may fall for their trap by responding to them so as to explain yourself.
Don’t do this.
They have no interest in having a rational conversation with you.
If you were to respond to their angry messages, they will only proceed to talk to you even more harshly.
Your energy would be best spent elsewhere.

ETA: Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan announced that Admiral Art McDonald has stepped aside voluntarily as Canada's chief of defence staff (CDS), without giving any expalanation of why or when he learned of the alleged problem that triggered this, only saying that the situation is under investigation. McDonald only became CDS two months ago after the previous CDS, Gen. Jonathan Vance, resigned over an alleged sex scandal. CBC News is reporting that "the investigation concerns McDonald's interactions with a female subordinate in the Arctic in 2010 when he held the rank of captain". Sajjan should now resign as he allegedly did nothing to deal with the sex allegations that were presented to him on March 1st 2018 by Military Ombudsman Gary Walbourne, and instead allowed the Defence Department to harass Walbourne until he retired. For more details on what happened with Walbourne see posts #3 and 4.
This raises further questions about the vetting processes and transparency issues facing the Trudeau government. Many feel that there was not sufficient vetting or else an ignoring of existing warning signs in the selection of 'star' candidates for Governor General, who had a long record of verbal and emotional abuse of employees in previous posts, before she became Governor General, and in the selection of the two most recent chiefs of defence staff.
The refusal of Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan to provide one iota of information, not even when he learned of the problem which would obviously not obstruct any investigation of McDonald, raises questions of transparency that have been seen in scandal after scandal after scandal involving the Trudeau government: the resignation of Judy Wilson Raybould and Gerald Butts, Principal Secretary to Prime Minister Trudeau, over the SNC Lavalin scandal; the failure of the government to provide documents regarding the We charity scandal to a parliamentary committee that related to payments to Trudeau family members and other issues; the lack of details provided about the resignation of CDS Jonathan Vance; the settlement of a lawsuit by Vice Admiral Mark Norman, who was accused by the government of leaking government documents over which company would get a shipbuilding contract, in order to avoid having information about why this happened become public; etc.
Last night, Harjit Sajjan disclosed that Admiral Art McDonald has voluntarily stepped aside as Canada's chief of defence staff. It came as the Canadian Forces National Investigation Service conducts a probe into his actions. Sajjan's statement did not reveal the nature of any allegation against McDonald.
CBC News, however, reported this morning that the investigation concerns McDonald's interactions with a female subordinate in the Arctic in 2010 when he held the rank of captain. ...
McDonald was sworn into his position in mid-January following the resignation of his predecessor, Gen. Jonathan Vance. Global News has reported that Vance is being investigated by military police in connection with allegations of inappropriate behaviour by two female members of the Canadian Armed Forces. One of them, Maj. Kellie Brennan, went public with her claim of a long-term sexual relationship with Vance during an interview with The West Block host Mercedes Stephenson. Vance has denied the allegations against him. ...
The controversy has raised questions when Sajjan and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau first heard allegations against Vance—and if so, what did they do in response. According to Global News, Sajjan said he always forwards allegations to "appropriate authorities".
As chief of the defence staff, Vance vigorously promoted "Operation HONOUR", which encourages victims of sexual misconduct to file reports and obtain health care and counselling services.

A new standard in tubeless sealant. Finish Line Tubeless Tire Sealant, featuring Fiberlink technology, will not cure inside the tires and doesn’t need to be refreshed every few months to maintain effectiveness. This sealant will last the entire usable life of the tire. Since there is no liquid latex or ammonia in Finish Line sealant, it is naturally non-toxic, hypoallergenic and safe for carbon fiber rims. Additionally, Finish Line Tubeless Tire Sealant cleans up easily with water – no more scrubbing or scraping cured latex from tires and rims. Fiberlink technology makes this possible. Utilizing DuPont Kevlar fibers, Fiberlink seals are extremely robust once they plug a hole. When a puncture happens, fibers rush into the wound and quickly stop air loss. As the tire flexes while it is ridden, the Fiberlink mesh tightens and reinforces itself, creating a confidence-inspiring seal that will last ride-after-ride. - Non-latex ammonia-free formulation - Kevlar reinforced Fiberlink mesh seal - Seals up to 1/4" punctures - Can be used in extreme temperatures, down to -10 degrees Fahrenheit
$17.00 - $28.00

A software developer says he has identified a critical vulnerability in many Samsung smartphone models that can open up end users to malware attacks and expose bank account credentials and other sensitive data to attackers.
The security hole, according to a post published Saturday on the XDA Developer Forum, resides in the Android kernel of Samsung handsets running an Exynos 4210 or 4412 processor. While it creates a new and easier method for end users to root their devices, it also gives installed apps full read-write permissions to all physical memory. That, in turn, allows apps to gain unfettered control of a handset, opening the door to malware with rootkit-like capabilities. It also allows one app to monitor data processed by a second app or the operating system.
"This exploit could be dangerous," XDA developer Joseph Hindy wrote in a follow-up post. "Not only could be used to acquire root access, but for malicious applications as well. So developers will have a fun time helping to fix the issues while using the exploit for root."
Affected devices, according to Hindy, include the Samsung Galaxy Note II, Samsung Galaxy SIII, Meizu MX, and Galaxy S II, among others. The vulnerable libraries, which are located in the /system/lib directories, appear to be connected to the handset camera and other graphics-related functions. The bug makes it possible for attackers to bypass kernel-level system permissions that limit one app's access to data processed by the operating system or other apps.
Following Saturday's disclosure, a different XDA developer released code that offers some protection from the exploit. Readers should carefully consider the pros and cons before installing this app, since it may void handset warranties.
Over the past year, Google has endowed its official Play Store with a cloud-based scanner for detecting malicious apps. The latest version of Android also offers client-side protection for apps that may be obtained from other sources. There are no reports that the Samsung vulnerability is being actively exploited.

This year, they have just decided to make these Christmas and Winter craft pieces to sell. There are so many more (CUTE) examples than what I am showing here; these are just the pieces I bought for our house! You should buy some, too! ;-)
Since I took a half day off for Scarlet today (Stefan took the other half), I got to watch her enjoy Sesame Street for the first time. She has seen bits and pieces of Elmo dvds, but this was the first time that I sat down with her in front of the television, and we watched together. She loved it, and she spent a good 30 minutes just totally entranced by all the characters and activity. When they started singing or dancing, she just wiggled her little booty all over the place. It was hilarious.

Post #2196 – 20070328
Dear Mr. Pinkwater,
I used to read your books like kids drink Coke while a kid. I’m still a kid. A 36 year old, bald kid with kids of my own. When they are old enough to read, they will be required to read Lizard Music and write a ten page essay. I will rate it on a bell curve. So I wrote to you, like all puppy-faced fans did then, and you sent back left-of center, Xeorox letters, and then I interviewed you on the phone for a small newspaper, and I still read you, including the big book due in April, which I will add to my collection, although I have read it online. I have published poems in which odd quirky things appear–not your pickles or chickens or people from space, not the salami snap or shoelace tycoons, but odd enough–thanks to you. Now I am writing a book that has odd elements, very odd. I owe it to your cool work. If you would read a page or two, and I mean a page or two, I would send it to you. I am shamelessly asking my favorite author to do what most authors don’t want to end up doing–reading stuff written by their fans. It’s a bullet that needs to get dodged. So will ya, if I send, say, a bribe?
Doughnuts on the way,
Nope. I don't read unpublished work, I don't care who you are or how artfully you broach the subject. It's not that I don't want to encourage you, just that opening that particular door would be a mistake. Also a mistake to show partial work to anyone, and unless the thing is written with me in mind as the reader, (a truly preposterous thought), what would be the point of me looking at a little scrap of it? Naturally, I'm happy if reading my stuff makes someone feel like trying to write something too, but that would be somewhere around the very last thing I had in mind when I wrote whatever stuff it may have been.

True Blood star Carrie Preston has revealed that she is touched by her fans' support.
Speaking to the New York Post, Preston revealed that she is "aware" that some viewers are worried about the fate of her character Arlene.
"I think part of the concern came when I took a role on The Good Wife," she said. "I did a couple of those, and I'll be back for another one. It's been fun to step aside and work on another show."
She added: "Obviously I can't say anything, but I am pleased to see that fans are concerned, which means they like my character. That's always flattering and not a bad thing for your boss to hear."
Preston also joked that even if Arlene died she could return in the future, saying: "I might get killed and turn into a vampire."
True Blood continues on Sundays at 9pm on HBO.

Are raccoons good to have around?
Not to mention, they spread diseases like rabies and parvovirus.
And yet, they help keep ecosystems clean.
Because raccoons are scavengers, they play an important role in cleaning up carrion.
They also dine on other species we consider pests, including snakes, frogs, lizards, and rats..
What do raccoons hate?
ammoniaRaccoons enjoy the dark, so a strategically placed flashlight can be a deterrent. Because they’re also put off by strange noises, playing a small radio may help keep them at bay. Finally, raccoons hate the smell of ammonia, so leave a saucer full of the stuff (or an ammonia-dipped rag) near the creatures’ entry point.
Do raccoons eat cats?
Raccoons sometimes get into scraps with cats and they may occasionally prey on small animals housed outside, such as chickens and rabbits. When no other food is available, raccoons might even prey upon kittens and small cats, but other times, they can be seen eating side-by-side when cats are fed outdoors.
How do you find a raccoons nest?
You can usually find raccoon dens in the hollow of a tree or log or any secure burrow. They need warmth and protection to survive the winter. In cities, you might even find them in storm drains and other little burrows. You may also find them in the attic of your home.
Where do Raccoons live during the day?
Highly independent and somewhat solitary creatures, raccoons are nocturnal. They hunt at night camouflaged by their distinctive coats and rest by day in the hollows of high trees.
Do raccoons live in trees?
Raccoons typically like to den in hollow trees, ground burrows, brush piles, muskrat houses, barns and abandoned buildings, dense clumps of cattail, haystacks or rock crevices. They are also known to use parts of homes, including chimneys, attics, and hollow areas beneath porches to make dens.
