| Powell Goldstein Leaps Into N.C. Market
Powell Goldstein has jumped into the heated Charlotte, N.C., legal market, opening a six-lawyer office focusing on structured finance work with attorneys raided from two established firms in the city. The new office piggybacks on the commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) servicing work that PoGo gained with the Dallas office it opened in 2006 and further expands the firm's territory beyond its traditional Atlanta and Washington bases. Geoffrey R. Maibohm joins Powell Goldstein as a partner from Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, bringing with him associates Ralph Baldino, D. Scott Rudd and Daniel P. Zellers. The group focuses on loan servicing for pools of commercial mortgage-backed securities. A fifth attorney, associate John W. Oakes II, who also focuses on structured finance, joined the firm last year from Alston & Bird's Charlotte office.

FULL CLASSIC REACTION
That's better than the last two (Classics). He got a little pinned up in there. Kent (Desormeaux) said he ran hard and gave him everything. We'll probably keep him going for the Clark Handicap (Churchill Downs on Nov. 26). Kent Desormeaux, jockey, fourth, Perfect Drift He fought hard for me. I was happy with his effort. He put me everywhere I wanted to be; when I asked him to go faster, he did. Unfortunately, there are some in there that ran faster. D. Wayne Lukas, trainer, fifth, Azeri: We didn't get away as clean as we would have liked to. There was a little bit of action in the first 30 yards. We wanted the three or four lane. Instead we got down on the inside, and we didn't have a choice. It was the way the race unfolded, not anything Pat (Day) did.
