To understand the prejudice to American Airlines in being forced to defend such far-fetched and politically motivated fiduciary disloyalty claims, particularly when it sponsors plans with no ESG investments, you have to understand the difference between notice and plausibility pleading. The difference is whether asserted claims in a lawsuit are possible versus plausible.

Starting in 2006 with the original excess fee case, the trial bar filed dozens of fiduciary imprudence cases, asserting in each case that they met the pleading standard simply by alleging that the plan incurred excessive fees or deficient investment performance to support an inference of fiduciary imprudence. They claimed that the notice pleading standard of Rule 8 applied, and their complaint did not need any context or proof to allege fiduciary imprudence, such as evidence of the fiduciary process in negotiating the allegedly excessive recordkeeping fee, or comparison to legitimate benchmarks to give context and perspective as to whether the plan fees are excessive. Every case was based on circumstantial evidence of a disfavored outcome.

American Airlines promptly filed a motion to dismiss on the grounds that the company-sponsored plans do not have any ESG investment options, let alone twenty-five ESG funds. [In fact, to the extent that truth matters, the plans do not even offer twenty-five investment options.] The company also sought dismissal because the sole plaintiff lacked standing given that he was not even invested in the brokerage window in which he could have elected ESG investments.

Finally, the performance of any American plan investment is never mentioned, and the amended complaint does not even attempt to compare an American plan investment to supposedly better-performing non-ESG investments.

The Court states that the Challenged Manager Theory states a plausible claim under ERISA for breach of fiduciary duty, but a claim based solely on calling plan fiduciaries and BlackRock woke does not meet the plausibility standard that the Supreme Court adopted in Hughes v. Northwestern. The plausibility standard does not allow speculative claims, and this lawsuit is a series of wild and speculative assertions. It is not plausible under Supreme Court standard. Not even close.

CASA is a charity that advocates for children within the foster care system by training community volunteers to help represent abused and neglected children during youth court, as well as assisting children in daily life throughout their cases.

Each year, UM sororities work with CASA to put on CASA Encore. The fundraiser encourages both monetary and blood donations for several weeks, concluding with a dance competition featuring a performance from each sorority.

Overall, the Panhellenic community raised $459,258 for the CASA of North Mississippi chapter this year. Historically, the funds raised by CASA Encore have helped enable CASA of North Mississippi to grow their programs and expand into a new building.

While the largest part of CASA Encore is the fundraising efforts, both Dees and Travis stated working to raise money and preparing for the competition was an important and enjoyable bonding experience for sorority sisters.

After a couple of months buying and trading for my components, I finally put it all together and felt good about the build. Sitting in front of me was an Encore in 7mm-08, scoped and ready to range check. Not the prettiest kitten in the litter, but one I felt would get er done in the field, and at the range.
Now I would need a case for her. Thinking ahead, I would need one that would be Airline approved. The urge is on me for an out of state hunt, and flying is by far the easiest mode of transportation on these old bones. I would also like one that is aesthetically pleasing ,and would offer room for maybe, one more scoped barrel. A slot for a box of rounds would be nice also.

As I mentioned the foam that came with it was not what I was looking for, but would be excellent for shipping barrels and Encore stuff. It would not go to waste around here. Here is what the case looked like with out the foam. It is extremely light and strong.

Now for the hard part. The lay out and cutting of the outline sheet. I found that the blue marker is easier to see but does leave some outline marks. Not a big deal but I am mention it, as it is noticeable in the camera lens, but not so much to the naked eye.

Outline traced. I keep in mind that I need to cut at least 1/8th to 1/4th of an inch inboard of the trace line to hold her snug. The cutting goes well, not as hard as I pictured it would be. Here is what the trail fit looks like,and the cutout piece.

Notice that the gun rests below the surface of the outline sheet. I now cut the removed 2 inch thick outline cutout in half. This yields a 1 inch thick piece that I now put back in the cut out. This raises the gun slightly above the surface of the outline sheet by about half of an inch. Just enough for the egg crate top foam to compress for a secure placement. I now have 2 inches of the foam all the way around my baby for max protection.

Please note that you should never use BORG_WORKAROUNDS=ignore_invalid_archive_tamfor normal production operations - it is only needed once to get the archives in arepository into a good state. All archives have a valid TAM now.

When borg check --repair tried to repair corrupt archives that miss item metadatachunks, the resync to valid metadata in still present item metadata chunksmalfunctioned. This was due to a broken validator that considered all (even valid)item metadata as invalid. As they were considered invalid, borg discarded them.Practically, that means the affected files, directories or other fs objects werediscarded from the archive.

The fix adds a separate authentication tag to the manifest. For compatibilitywith prior versions this authentication tag is not required by defaultfor existing repositories. Repositories created with 1.0.9 and later require it.

If you run borg check --repair, things escalate quickly: all archive itemswith invalid metadata will be killed. Due to that attic bug, that means allitems in all archives made with these old attic versions.

For better error handling in your scripts, wrappers or GUI frontends, you maywant to use BORG_EXIT_CODES=modern - in that case you of course will need tomake sure these deal with the new error and warning exit codes, seeinternals/frontends docs.

matching of path patterns has been aligned with borg storing relative paths.Borg archives file paths without leading slashes. Previously, include/excludepatterns could contain leading slashes. You should check your patterns andremove leading slashes.

dropped support / testing for older Pythons, minimum requirement is 3.8.In case your OS does not provide Python >= 3.8, consider using our binary,which does not need an external Python interpreter. Or continue usingborg 1.1.x, which is still supported.

create/recreate --list: file status for all files used to get announced AFTERthe file (with borg < 1.2). Now, file status is announced BEFORE the filecontents are processed. If the file status changes later (e.g. due to an erroror a content change), the updated/final file status will be printed again.

remove cython restrictions. recommended is to build with cython 0.29.latest,because borg 1.2.x uses this since years and it is very stable.you can also try to build with cython 3.0.x, there is a good chance that it works.as a 3rd option, we also bundle the *.c files cython outputs in the releasepypi package, so you can also just use these and not need cython at all.

secure_erase: avoid collateral damage, #6768.If a hardlink copy of a repo was made and a new repo config shall be saved,do NOT fill in random garbage before deleting the previous repo config,because that would damage the hardlink copy.

mount -o versions: give clear error msg instead of crashing.it does not make sense to request versions view if you only look at 1 archive,but the code shall not crash in that case as it did, but give a clear error msg.

info: use a pre12-meta cache to accelerate stats for borg < 1.2 archives.the first time borg info is invoked on a borg 1.1 repo, it can take arather long time computing and caching some stats values for 1.1 archives,which borg 1.2 archives have in their archive metadata structure.be patient, esp. if you have lots of old archives.following invocations are much faster due to the cache.related change: add archive name to calc_stats progress display.

extract:improve exception handling when setting xattrs, #5092.emit a warning message giving the path, xattr key and error message.continue trying to restore other xattrs and bsdflags of the same fileafter an exception with xattr-setting happened.
