\caption{Event Information. For each event we list the date, NOAA active region, position, and GOES class plus GOES maximum of the flare, as well as the first LASCO C2 appearance, the central position angle, and the linear velocity of the associated CME. Details on the CMEs were obtained from the SOHO LASCO CME CATALOG \citep[][~--~\texttt{http://cdaw.gsfc.nasa.gov/CME\_list/}]{yashiro04}.}
