Securities class actions are an unfortunate fact of life for U.S When a company and their directors and officers are sued for securities fraud finding the right defense counsel is mission critical The securities defense bar is a small subset of all U.S and the right attorney within the right firm How can the directors and officers named as defendants in a securities class action get it right Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance (BHSI) believes it has an answer BHSI maintains a list of securities defense firms that provide the best defense in this crucial area But their “Preferred Counsel” program goes even further offering insureds several financial and other incentives unique in the D&O marketplace In 2024, there were 220 “core” securities class actions filed (i.e. Claimed damages rose by 23 percent last year with 27 lawsuits alleging damages of over $5 billion with typical settlements ranging between $30 million and $40 million Ten securities class actions settled for $100 million or more and the total value of all settlements in 2024 was over $6 billion In addition to traditional securities class actions “mega” shareholder derivative cases continue to rise with many of them settling at $100 million or more With alleged damages in securities claims frequently in the billions even for medium and smaller sized public companies trying a securities class action becomes a “bet the company” proposition and the cost and complexity of litigating these cases defending a securities class action calls for the very best legal representation That is where BHSI aims to help its customers navigate this important decision SVP Public Commercial Insurance and D&O Product Lead BHSI launched its Preferred Counsel Program which offers insureds financial and other benefits for working with one of 25 carefully vetted law firms “These firms have demonstrated a deep understanding of securities class actions and the unique challenges our customers face,” William Carroll SVP public commercial insurance and D&O product lead for BHSI “BHSI can ensure that our policyholders receive the highest quality legal representation when they need it most.” and looming discovery costs risking depletion of D&O insurance proceeds job number one for the defense attorney in a securities class action is defeating the case at the pleadings stage on motion to dismiss “Our goal is to have the best attorney on each particular case that provides the client with the highest probability of getting a suit dismissed at pleading stage,” said Carroll VP public commercial and financial institutions and technical claims lead roughly half of all securities class actions survive a motion to dismiss and move into the discovery phase – a costly time-consuming and perilous journey offering few rewards for the defense All securities defense firms advertise their success at getting cases dismissed and all are ostensibly prepared to go to trial the number of firms that consistently demonstrate success “These cases need to be handled by counsel with the highest levels of expertise,” Critchell said The firms on BHSI’s preferred counsel list are selected for a combination of legal firepower and commercial practicality “They are all fierce litigators who also know how to run a case effectively and efficiently with an eye toward the eventual resolution – including negotiating with the top plaintiffs firms all of whom are tough litigators in their own right.” VP Public Commercial and Financial Institutions and Technical Claims Lead BHSI’s preferred counsel endorsement is aimed at steering their customers to the “best of the best” securities litigation defense firms the endorsement contains a number of industry-leading financial and other incentives available in the event the insured chooses counsel from the preferred list The first financial incentive is an immediate reduction in the amount of the self-insured retention The reduction is based on an agreed percentage of the retention amount – typically 25 percent – and is applied at the beginning of the claim is triggered when and if the defendants do not prevail on the motion to dismiss with the case proceeding toward the costly territory of discovery and potential settlement BHSI’s endorsement offers an additional reduction of up to 100 percent of the amount remaining in the SIR – a feature that is unique in the D&O marketplace “We are essentially putting our money where our mouth is,” Carroll said “The true economic benefit for the client can range from a few hundred thousand dollars to millions.” But the benefits BHSI’s endorsement provides do not end there The endorsement is available for all insureds for whom BHSI provides primary insurance and allows them the freedom to choose a law firm from the preferred counsel list – or not BHSI’s customers are free to use all the firms in any jurisdiction in which securities litigation is filed in the United States BHSI believes all the firms on its preferred counsel list are competent to litigate cases anywhere in the country The program has proved an immediate success Carroll reports that the insurer has been able to grow its primary public D&O portfolio by over 20 percent since rolling out the program last year BHSI considers its market-leading endorsement a source of mutual benefit for its insureds Building strong relationships with law firms is a key feature of the program from BHSI’s perspective “A strong bond between the insurer and legal counsel is especially important in securities litigation,” said Critchell “In part because we as claims professionals add real value to the process particularly once settlement discussions commence Firms that recognize this smooth the entire process for their clients.” we work hand in hand with our claims teams in assessing the risks of securities litigation for our customers and we consider our claims professionals a major value add The law firms in our program understand this and actively partner with us.” getting the right firms on the preferred counsel program and involving BHSI early in conversations about the choice of defense firm is crucial “Having relationships with these law firms that extend through the life of the claim and beyond is important both on the claims and underwriting side we’re comfortable communicating with each other.” our familiarity and experience with these attorneys provides a level of comfort and confidence in the legal process,” Carroll concluded To learn more, visit:

By the time he returned from an ACL tear incurred late in the summer of 2023, competition within the TSG squad was simply too fierce. He qualified as "dead-weight" on the Hoffenheim roster entering the current window. "Marco fought his way back impressively," Hoffenheim'sporting director Andreas Schicker noted in a club-released statement accompanying the transaction "We nevertheless came to the conclusion that Marco needs more game time We have now made it possible for him to move to Greuther Fürth and are convinced that we have found an optimal solution for everyone.” “I've never lost touch with some of the players,” the player himself added “What I've heard from some of the guys [at SpVgg Greuther Fürth] reinforced my decision to come back The first half of the season didn't go as well as hoped but I'm sure that together we can overcome the situation and hopefully come out of it stronger in the end."  By Eskender Tamrat second-tier Bundesliga club Greuther Fürth footballers Julian Green and Maximilian Dietz spoke with US media the duo shared their desire to convince Mauricio Pochettino for a national team call-up In addition to a wide range of soccer topics they also touched upon the upcoming US presidential election Green and Dietz played together in a double-pivot midfield in Furth’s emphatic 4-0 win away at Jahn Regensburg last month While the former Bayern Munich player made the permanent shift to orchestrating the play from a defensive midfield position Dietz returns to playing center-back in Alexander Zorniger’s back-three system “It’s a nice feeling to have Max on the field,” Green said about his compatriot “It’s a good feeling to have another American around I hope we’ll be here together for the next couple of years.” the 29-year-old all-rounder will have a strong chance at jumping into the top ten of Furth’s all-time appearance makers he’s expected to make his 200th cap for the club nicknamed Cloverleaves That wasn’t the initial plan as he spent the previous four years playing for three clubs before joining them in 2018 But it’s very crucial to have a club that treats you as an important player,” Green said The 22-year-old is very thankful to his club for allowing him to participate in the Olympics last month even though that means I missed the entire preseason.” Dietz was unable to play a big part in the U23 tournament he missed the start of the preparation for the country’s first Olympics appearance in men’s football since 2008 Marko (Mitrovic) knew I wasn’t fully fit for the tournament It was clear I wasn’t going to play 90 minutes,” he recalls their time in France We bonded well and played poker every night.” we didn’t get as far as we wanted with our goal to get a medal But we did well to represent the values of US soccer,” Dietz adds representing the senior national team is the main target Dietz believes the squad that participates in the Olympic Games is ready to leapfrog it’s up to other people to decide,” he said who scored against Belgium in the 2014 World Cup at the age of 19 He also leaves the judgment to the decision-makers when pressed about his extended time away from the national team “It’s a question for the last coach (Gregg Berhalter) Everyone has their own style and maybe his own players he prefers a little bit more The decision relies on the coach,” he recounted Pochettino is finally unveiled as the new man Although they look forward to the ideas of the Argentinian Green and Dietz believe their efforts will remain the same I’ll do everything on the pitch to be back to the national team one day,” Green said Dietz adds “The new coach doesn’t have an impact on the change in my mindset you’ve to perform and you need to play consistently at the highest level at your club.” They still see the chance at a fresh start for US soccer There is probably a chance for every player I’ve to do my work here in Furth and I can’t control the other things,” Green mentioned “My goal is to play for the national team” Dietz shared his enthusiasm for getting to know the coach on his first days at the job “I obviously have the goal of joining the men’s national team I’m very interested in what a new coach has to say and what he wants to see from players that have the chance to play,” Dietz added Winning promotion with Greuther Furth would go a long way in boosting the chances of Dietz and Green The Green and Whites had a great start to the season before the home draw to Elversberg and their first defeat at struggling Eintracht Braunschweig but the last two games weren’t so good,” Green conceded But the team started pretty well without me Now we should make sure to stabilize that and develop further” Dietz adds After this weekend’s game against league leaders Fortuna Dusseldorf they will travel to third-placed Magdeburg.  Germany’s second tier gets more interesting this season “We say it every year that it’s the best second division Not only in terms of club size but also in its competitiveness,” Dietz agreed Green recalled his time at Bayern as “the best club in the world at the time” and “the best squad I ever had.” And he expects them to come out on top when they host defending champions Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday “Xabi (Alonso) was a great teammate of mine but Bayern are much stronger than last season,” Green said Under the former RB Leipzig coach Zorniger Green is now playing the Xabi role at Furth you’ll have more shots at goal and offensive actions,” Green explains but I don’t really care as I can play both positions”  He values the importance of playing alongside top players, however. According to Transfermarkt, Furth’s captain Branimir Hrgota is the player who featured the most alongside Green.  “Branimir is a great player. If you play with good players, you understand the game of soccer well. I’m very happy he’s in our team and he’s the captain. It makes the game much easier for me. Our connection is always good,” Green concludes. In six weeks, the US will hold its presidential election. As citizens of the country, both confirmed to World Soccer Talk that they’ll cast their votes. “I’m registered to vote, and I’ve also followed the election. I’m also in touch with my family at home,” Dietz said. Green followed suit as he assured us by simply saying “Same here.” Includes: Premier League + 84 Sports Channels World Soccer Talk © 2025.

To celebrate a successful season and the rewarding cooperation a friendly match was played between the ‘Kleeblatt’ and the ‘PUMA Werkself’ Even in the years following the great success of 1950 the partnership was characterized by consistency Numerous Fürth players wore PUMA football boots and provided valuable feedback for the improvement and further development of the boots Rudolf Dassler personally presented Fürth goalkeeper Peter Löwer with the “Silver Glove” – an honor for the best goalkeeper in the regional league PUMA also supplied SpVgg Fürth with jerseys Duncan Lambie and Klaus Heinlein against FSV Frankfurt 1977 the 1970s were a difficult time for SpVgg Fürth as financial problems led to relegation from the second to the third division a significant merger with the football department of TSV Vestenbergsgreuth took place which included the traditional cloverleaf of Fürth as well as the clog of TSV Vestenbergsgreuth the club was promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga from which it has not been relegated since PUMA and SpVgg renewed their cooperation in 2020/21 and due to their special connection this decision did not seem surprising: Through highs and lows – PUMA has accompanied SpVgg through many historic moments in the club’s history The football club is one of the first to be equipped with football boots manufactured by PUMA making it one of the longest partnerships with a football club Last year we celebrated PUMA’s 75th birthday and the 120th Birthday of SpVgg Greuther Fürth together Expanding our presence as Official Ball Supplier Greatness starts with the courage to be yourself SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER AND NEVER MISS A STORY I agree that the PUMA group may use my personal data (including my e-mail address) for promotional and marketing purposes in accordance with the PUMA privacy policy and send information about products of the PUMA group to my e-mail address.

PokerNews podcast co-host Mike Holtz was first to fall today in a preflop confrontation against Furth Jason Daly began the day with the shortest stack but did an admirable job making a comeback. He found multiple double-ups and won several pots without showdown to keep himself in contention but was left with crumbs after being scooped by Andrew Paterson shortly after the final table began and he became the first to fall at the final table Daly was followed out the door by Mathias Bayer and two-time bracelet winner Tom Koral in eighth and seventh place respectively Paterson enjoyed one of the bigger chip stacks throughout the first half of the day until Gan flopped the nut-flush and held to send Paterson tumbling down the chip counts. Furth got the rest of Paterson’s chips a few hands later after making a straight and a low Fellow Canadian Michael Machugh was next to fall after getting it in preflop against Andreas Frohli only for Frohli to river trip sixes That's a wrap for PokerNews coverage of Event #15: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better here at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.

The cast of the Angola Performing Arts Academy production of “Charlotte’s Web” pose on stage Friday during rehearsal at the T. Furth Center for the Performing Arts. The play is Saturday at 4:30 p.m. Emory Long, 9, of Auburn, rehearses Friday on the T. Furth Center for the Performing Arts stage as Wilbur the pig in “Charlotte’s Web.” ANGOLA — Angola Performing Arts Academy will present “Charlotte’s Web” Saturday at 4:30 p.m. in the T. Furth Center for the Performing Arts, 500 W. Maumee St. The cast is in the middle of a two-week camp that concludes with the show, directed by Mary Kay Clark of Golden Lake. Clark also heads Excelsior Arts Academy in Auburn, which did “Charlotte’s Web” in February. With 35 years directing and playwriting experience, Clark adapted the play from the E.B. White classic. This is the second year for the partnership between the nonprofit Angola Performing Arts Academy and Excelsior Arts Academy. Clark is assisted in rehearsals by a team that includes Nancy Klein of Milan, Michigan, choreographer Julie Arnold of Studio A, Acting Coach Patrick O’Brian and Colleen Everage of Angola, president of the Angola Performing Arts Academy Board of Directors. Everage said rehearsals have been “fantastic.” Children from Steuben, DeKalb, LaGrange and Noble counties as well as Branch County, Michigan, are involved this year. They have learned about set building, costumes, props and teamwork. Emma Blotter plays Charlotte the spider and Emory Long is Wilbur the pig. Long, 9, of Auburn, described Wilbur as “sometimes worried … loving, kind, sweet.” She said practices are going well and she has learned, “You should never turn your back to the audience.” Hadley Boyer, 10, of Angola was in last year’s Angola Performing Arts Academy play, “Aesop’s Fables.” “I just love theater,” Boyer said. She has learned the impact of strong self expression. “It’s really just how you use your voice and use your body movements,” she said. In “Charlotte’s Web,” Boyer is Madge, a sassy nail tech. “She really likes to gossip,” she said. “We’re in a group called the gossip girls.” Twelve-year-old Milo Reeves of Angola has been involved in theater productions at Oak Farm Montessori School, Avilla. She has two roles in “Charlotte’s Web” – announcer and rooster. She said she has learned that ultimately the character you play is “based on you.” “You have to be that character and be really funny,” Reeves explained. Those who purchase tickets in advance at Sutton’s Deli or Joppa Cosmetics on Public Square may also get a tiny pink Wilbur toy. Tickets cost $10 for adults. Children will be admitted free with a paying adult. We're always interested in hearing about news in our community. Let us know what's going on!

He is a firm believer that making a home for oneself is in itself an act of optimism and the most important ingredient when designing any space is joy Don’t be afraid to use a juxtaposition of materials when it comes to selecting upholstery fabrics, rugs, and outdoor furniture finishes “Having a certain tension within materiality lends dynamism to a space and will encourage more interesting dialogs and unexpected connections,” says Furth or soft against slick—any combination can elevate your style and create intrigue Furth likes to incorporate live plants and trees whenever he can embracing how “they change and grow over time in surprising ways which can help keep things from feeling static.” Specific plant selections vary from project to project but he suggests personality of the home and context play a big factor when choosing botanicals Try extending the surrounding landscape into more intimate communal areas with a mix of small trees and lush shrubs in containers Optimistic Interiors.’ Copyright © 2024 by Oliver Furth When it comes to choosing one of the most important items to elevate an outdoor space suggesting “it’s crucial to be able to see and setting the mood for evenings alfresco is important to outdoor spaces’ usability.” He also notes how it is wonderful to see the outside, even while you’re indoors. With outdoor lighting products spanning from discrete solar landscaping spotlights to architectural statements with table lanterns a well-lit garden will extend your home’s enjoyability and livability throughout the year No matter the size of your outdoor space, always add in a bit of nature. Oliver suggests even a small patio or balcony can be greatly improved by a single potted plant adding “having plants to tend to will not only force you to spend some time outside connecting to the earth but those few minutes per week watering and caring for a plant can greatly improve your experience living in your space.” and so much more delivered straight to your door every quarter Copyright ©2025 S Media International Corporation.

Fürth, however, won three of the last seven games, and three more ended in a draw. The defensive lines of both teams have this. Although Greuther Fürth only conceded four goals on the first five matchdays, in the following five games there were 13 in total – always at least two goals conceded per game. Darmstadt’s defense seems more vulnerable, especially away from home: the Lilies never conceded more than two goals per game at the Böllenfalltor in the Merck Stadium, but always conceded at least three away from home. Aleksandar Vukotic is missing against Greuther Fürth due to a yellow card suspension. The SV 98 central defender saw his fifth yellow card of the current second division season in the home game against SSV Ulm. We Lilies – Together for Nature Conservation!

as it's meant to be Her research focused on themes of migration and manifest destiny in 19th century American literature As the founder of Bluefish Editorial Services which focuses mainly on academic clientele Furth forged an alternate path from the traditional tenure track while still utilizing the research writing and editing skills mastered during her Ph.D What has your professional trajectory been since earning your Ph.D. but quickly soured on the precarity and the low pay I was fortunate enough to be able to take some time off and after a year or so I started working for a small public policy research organization It started out as an administrative position but I soon transitioned into writing and editorial work as well as facilitation and instructional design A big part of that job was taking complicated policy questions and presenting them in a way that would allow people who hadn’t spent much (if any) time thinking about it to have a useful conversation about it I knew that I wanted to keep working at that intersection of big ideas and effective communication and that I loved working with people on their writing and I founded Bluefish Editorial Services in 2014 Where are you based now and how would you describe your present job but my editorial clients are from all over the country and overseas as well Most of them are academics working in the humanities and social sciences I employ a few subcontractors for specialties like bibliographies and technical subjects but most of the projects are handled by me My day-to-day varies: I do some straight copyediting and proofreading and you’ll certainly find me wrangling commas and subject-verb agreement But the bulk of my practice is substantive and developmental work — I will get into the structure and argumentation of a book or article sentence-by-sentence and paragraph-by-paragraph to make sure all the pieces fit together or I’ll work extensively with an author as they shape a work in progress It’s a great mix of high-level/big picture stuff and super-granular detail And my clients are wonderful and are doing fascinating and important work — it’s really a joy to be able to work with them What kinds of alignments do you feel there are between your Ph.D Obviously working in language and literature has a strong alignment with editorial work having first-hand experience working within the academy (combined with a lot of experience outside it) makes me a much better resource for my clients especially early career and first-generation faculty for whom the unwritten codes of academia can be especially challenging Looking back at your time as a graduate student what do you wish you would have known about opportunities for careers outside of the traditional tenure track there seemed to me to be a fairly pervasive attitude that the tenure-track job at an R1 university was the only benchmark of success; anything else was less-than I really wish there had been more candid discussion of the many opportunities that are out there for people with research analytical and writing skills — and that people who chose an alternate path were viewed with curiosity and appreciation Thinking back on graduate school as preparation for this career what skill or tool do you think your education best developed that you rely upon now It was my time in the classroom working with students on their writing Being trained in teaching writing and rhetoric gave me an incredibly useful toolkit for working with clients — and not just on the technical side The emotional side of editorial work is so often overlooked their writing is not only the key to their professional success My students at UCI taught me so much about how to approach editorial work with empathy and openness What skills do you feel were least developed that would have helped you either transition to this field or work more capably in this field There was definitely short shrift given to practicalities like how to draft a budget or bid out a proposal And more broadly there was a tendency to focus so much on the core task of scholarship that everything else — not only administrative tasks but family self-care avocations — was dismissed as a distraction from the “real work.” This is not exclusive to the academy the university would embrace and model a healthier work-life balance What advice would you give to current graduate students in the humanities Be clear with your professional boundaries it can be very tempting to sacrifice your wellbeing on that altar But there are thousands of ways to map out a fulfilling professional life Nothing you have done so far will be wasted No matter what your career path ends up becoming the things that brought you to this place — your curiosity inventiveness — are what will serve you in the future 143 Humanities Instructional BuildingIrvine 435 Humanities Instructional BuildingIrvine Copyright © 2023 UC Regents.
