Preliminary results show Estonia's center-right government has won the Baltic country's first election as a eurozone member.
With more than 90 percent of votes counted, Prime Minister Andrus Ansip's two-party coalition had won 56 of the 101 seats in Parliament. The main opposition Center Party had 26 seats.
Estonia joined the eurozone on Jan. 1.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
TALLINN, Estonia (AP) - Estonia's center-right government took a commanding lead Sunday in the Baltic country's first election as a eurozone member, winning well over half of the advance ballots.
The results were an early indication that Prime Minister Andrus Ansip's coalition could win a second term, after piloting one of Europe's most depressed economies back to growth.
Estonia's election commission said Ansip's Reform Party got 34 percent and its conservative partner IRL had 24 percent of the advance votes. About 25 percent of Estonia's 913,000-strong electorate cast early ballots. About 140,000 did so online - a voting method that tech-savvy Estonia has pioneered.
The Social Democrats, which dropped out of Ansip's coalition in 2009, won 18 percent of the advance votes and the main opposition Center Party got 14 percent. A full preliminary vote count was expected later Sunday
Unlike Irish voters, who punished their government last month for their own boom-to-bust experience, Estonians appear to have retained confidence in Prime Minister Andrus Ansip's two-party coalition.
His government has already made history as the first to serve a full term since the Baltic country of 1.3 million introduced Western-style democracy in the early 1990s following five decades of Soviet occupation.
"This has brought us political stability," the 54-year-old Ansip told reporters this week.
Ansip has won praise both at home and in European capitals for his handling of Estonia's severe economic crisis, which ended years of roaring growth as a housing bubble popped and the global financial meltdown sapped all hopes of a quick recovery.
Economic output plunged a staggering 14 percent in 2009, leaving one in five workers without a job. Fueled by strong exports, growth has returned and the jobless rate has dropped, but at 14 percent it's still among the highest in the European Union.
Ansip's government pulled through the downturn without needing an international bailout, unlike like neighboring Latvia. He introduced tough austerity measures to bring down the deficit - it's now among the lowest in the 27-nation EU - and keep Estonia on track to join the eurozone. It did that on Jan. 1, which was seen as a boost for the government, even though it occurred in the midst of a European debt crisis.
"I'm pleased with the economy and that the country isn't in huge debt ... like in Ireland or Greece," said Indrek Tops, a 19-year-old student who voted for Ansip's Reform Party.
Stepping out from a voting station in downtown Tallinn, 44-year-old Sven Ohlau said Estonia's recovery owed more to the global economy than the government and noted that "unemployment is a big problem." He wouldn't reveal whom he voted for, but said "change is good."
Ansip's government survived another crisis, not long after the previous election in 2007, when he followed up on promises to relocate a World War II memorial to Soviet soldiers killed in Estonia.
The move of the so-called Bronze Soldier drew sharp rebukes from Moscow and triggered mass protests among Estonia's Russian-speaking minority, which makes up nearly one-third of the population. Hundreds were detained and dozens hurt as rioting youths clashed with police officers firing tear gas and rubber bullets.
Tensions have eased since, but Estonia remains divided by language. Those with Russian as their first language include Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians and other ethnic groups who were relocated to Estonia during Josef Stalin's attempts to "Sovietize" the rebellious Baltic republics.
About 100,000 of them are not considered Estonian nationals, either because they don't meet the strict Estonian language requirements for citizenship or they don't want it.
Many of the Russian-speakers who are eligible to vote support the Center Party, led by political veteran Edgar Savisaar.
Ansip leads a minority government controlling 50 of the 101 seats in Parliament. If they fail to muster a majority, they may need to seek renewed support of the Social Democrats. A key disagreement between them is that the Social Democrats want to scrap Estonia's flat tax and introduce progressive taxation.
Sunday's vote also is key in determining who will be Estonia's next head of state because lawmakers will vote for a president in the fall. The Reform Party and Social Democrats support the re-election of President Toomas Hendrik Ilves.

All Eyes on New Guangdong Party Chief, Hu Chunhua
Among a slew of other new appointments this week, Xinhua reported that Hu Jintao protégé "Little Hu" Chunhua is to be the new Party chief of Guangdong province. His time at the helm of the economic powerhouse is likely to pave the way for national leadership in the future. Hu Chunhua has been appointed secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), replacing Wang Yang, the CPC Central Committee announced Tuesday. Wang Jun will replace Hu as secretary of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Regional Committee of the CPC, according to the announcement. Hu, born in April 1963, is currently a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee. Wang Yang is also a Political Bureau member. Hu previously served as deputy secretary of the Tibet Autonomous Regional Committee of the CPC, first secretary of the Secretariat of the Communist Youth League of China Central Committee and governor of north China's Hebei Province. At the South China Morning Post, Mimi Lau described a range of views on Hu's appointment and prospects: Liu Kaiming, director of the Institute of Contemporary Observation, a labour rights NGO in Shenzhen, said Hu lacked the track record of outstanding political achievements necessary to impress Guangdong officials. "After spending extensive time in remote inland areas, Hu might find it hard to fit in at first in Guangdong, especially when dealing with vested interests," Liu said. "I'm not very sure about officials from remote regions because they often appear very conservative and arrogant, but Hu might be different because he's young." […] Dr Peng Peng, a researcher with the Guangzhou Academy of Social Sciences, said Hu would have to hunker down after arriving in Guangdong because it was unlike any other mainland region. "The press here is outspoken and the public ...

A YOUNG mother has fronted court accused of poisoning her little girl over a 10-month period.
It is understood the 22-year-old from the Gold Coast has been accused of administering chemotherapy drugs to her four-year-old daughter after buying them online.
The mother, dressed in an oversized watchhouse-issue brown sweatshirt and black stretch pants, scowled angrily at the public gallery and shook her head as she was led into the glass-enclosed dock of Brisbane Magistrates Court 3 shortly before noon.
She has been charged with causing grievous bodily harm to her daughter between June 30, 2012 and April 11.
She remained silent and stared at the floor as her duty solicitor told the court they would not be applying for bail.
In a hearing that lasted less than two minutes, Magistrate John McGrath ordered the woman be remanded in custody for a further mention via prison video link on May 20.
The mother was arrested following a joint investigation by South Eastern Region detectives and the State Crime Operation Command's Child Safety and Sexual Crime Group.
The girl is in the Royal Brisbane Hospital in a "dangerous condition'', The Courier-Mail has been told.

Paper Source
- Location: online only
- Website: paper-source.com
Since so many DIY projects out there that call for decorative paper, we'd like to stock up on a bunch we love just to have handy for weekend projects. Paper Source is the best place we've found in San Francisco so far for a wide selection of paper (and really, the name says it all). Our imagination runs wild when we go in, thinking of all the ways we could use their products to spruce up our place.
Obviously, the store has plenty of paper, but we also were taken by the many bolts of ribbon, plain boxes waiting to decorated, stamps, and more.
The staff seems very helpful and informative, and they have an area in-store for working on crafting projects. All in all a great source of inspiration and a fun place to spend a few hours putting a project together.
If you don't live near a Paper Source store, make sure to check out the website, which has a large selection of craft supplies and a how-to section with some fun ideas.

Remember, our goal is to touch our potential customers as often as we can. It's very hard to ignore the mail. Yes, you can throw it away, but you have to at least scan it before it goes in the trash. So let's think of ways to get people to review your direct mail.
First, consider the format. Your marketing cannot be boring. You don't have to send a white envelope with a one-page letter composed of boring font. Try using multi-colored envelopes, handwritten names and addresses, and unique stamps. You can even have a direct-mail company transfer your letter into a hand-writing font. You can also purchase a mailing list for a reasonable price from a number of companies.
Consider sending to the same list multiple times per year. The head of a marketing company recently told me it takes up to five mailings to get a customer to respond. Direct mail is a marathon, not a sprint. If your facility has a tight marketing budget, try completing as many of these items in-house as possible.
Electronic newsletters, or e-newsletters, are another item you can use to "touch" your customers on a regular basis. But remember: Your customers don't want to read about self-storage. As with your social media, find some local stories or other items of interest. Of course, you also want to make your sales pitch. Maybe you have a special on packing supplies or you want to remind people about your referral program. Let customers know they can make payments online or follow you on social media. There are companies that can create these newsletters for you, or if you have time and gumption, you can do it yourself.
In a recent article, Darren Hardy, publisher and founding director of "Success" magazine, wrote, "By the age of 66, most of us will have seen about 2 million TV commercials. It's like watching eight hours of advertising, seven days a week, for six consecutive years." If your marketing is not interesting and worth reading, it will be ignored. The great thing about self-storage is if a potential customer is speaking with us, they need our product.
Our audience is fighting a barrage of marketing messages. Self-storage operators are battling increasing competition. Welcome to the new era of marketing. It's a full contact sport. By touching your audience via social media, direct mail and newsletters, you have a better chance of winning.
Matthew Van Horn is vice president of Cutting Edge Self-Storage Management & Consulting, a full-service management company specializing in feasibility studies, consulting and joint ventures within the storage industry. He's also president of 3 Mile Domination, a full-service self-storage marketing and strategy company. For more information, e-mail email@example.com.

Maybe you haven't heard that one before, but if you're female and have a pulse, chances are you've been subjected to a pick-up line (or five) sometime during your lifetime.
It's a curious phenomenon, the icebreaker, although if it's executed poorly or by the wrong person, much embarrassment ensues. For example, I'd hate to be the guy who offered this line: "If you were a nose, I'd pick you to be mine."
Not exactly the most flattering way of telling a woman she's beautiful -- and certainly a no-no when it comes to hoping that she'll share a mattress for the night. But when flawlessly executed, the proper pick-up line can melt the resolve of even the most resistant of potential bunkmates.
"I was at a club with my girlfriends last week to dance and have a few drinks, and the furthest thing from my mind was going home with someone," says Dawn, 22, an attractive brunette with a passing resemblance to actress Anne Hathaway.
"But then Bob came over. He was kind of cute, but what really got me was his opening line. There was enough of a twist to it to amuse me, so I let him buy me a drink. He turned out to be a pretty funny guy, and then one thing led to another."
Bob's opener: "Excuse me -- my friend over there is a little embarrassed. She'd like your phone number. She wants to know where she can get a hold of me in the morning."
That's probably the biggest key to success: If you want to tickle something else, start by tickling the funny bone and work from there. Laughter is not only the best medicine, but also the best aphrodisiac.
"When I met Gary, he was the quiet one in a pack of friends trying to impress me and my girlfriends," 27-year-old Honey recalls. "And they were coming up with the lamest lines you could think of. We were all rolling our eyes, hoping these losers would find some other victims to pick on.
"But then Gary tapped me on the shoulder and said, 'What has 142 teeth and holds back the Incredible Hulk? My zipper.'
"It was so unexpected and cartoonish that I nearly shot Kahlúa out of my nose."
"As we talked further, he kept me laughing and I began noticing some attractive things about him, like his baby blue eyes. Before I knew it, I was heading back to his place."
Pick-up lines are not only used on women. I remember the evening years ago when an attractive blonde named Diane came up to me and said, matter-of-factly, "I have a headache. Let's go back to your place."
These days, the pick-up line is also being elevated to a new level involving visual aids.
When words simply aren't enough, people -- OK, mainly guys -- are using their bodies to deliver their can't-miss message.
It worked on 24-year-old Mila.
"Tom walked up to me and, rather brazenly, said, 'Hey beautiful, if I have your name tattooed on my arm, could I take you home and have my way with you?'
"I agreed, never thinking I'd see the name 'Mila' on his arm. And I didn't -- he rolled up his sleeve and revealed the words 'Your Name' on his arm," she blushed.
Whether you decide to employ a part of your anatomy to give your advance that extra zing or you prefer to work your magic with your gift of gab, here are some proven winners to help you with your inner flirt.
You can thank us later.
"I just realized this, but you look a lot like my next girlfriend (boyfriend)."
"If I could rearrange the alphabet, I'd put 'U' and 'I' together."
"If beauty were time, you'd be an eternity."
"You've been a bad girl (boy). Go to my room."
"That outfit would look great in a crumpled heap next to my bed."
"How about breakfast tomorrow? Should I call you...or should I nudge you?"
"Hi, I'm Mr. Right. Someone said you were looking for me."
"I'm the one responsible for all those crop circles in England."
"Here I am. What are your other two wishes?"
"Playing doctor is for kids. Let's play gynecologist!"

Aesthetic Realism
Opposing Forces on the Terrain:
Hot and cold, wet and dry, high and low are talked about in Oksapmin when the crops are concerned. Their relation is changeable, dramatic, and terrifying. How long the rainy season will last, how long the dry time will stay, is never known in advance. How intense the rain will be, how merciless the sun, is never known. How many cold days will come one after another is not known, though a person's life may depend on the answer. One rainmaker, for example, said messengers have come to him from one parish or another bearing the knotted grass as a sign, and have begged him fervently: "Please, it has been dry so long. The ground is cracking. The sweet potato and taro are dying. We don't have enough food. Please, make the rain come."
As a tropical montane area, Oksapmin is a place where the heat of the tropics and the cold of the mountains mingle.
The Population: Devastation and Freedom
In asking elderly people of Gwe parish about this famine, and taking down the names of those who lived and those who died in it, I learned that about half the people of Gwe did not survive. And this vacated a great deal of land.
On the whole we see this famine, killing so many people, has made for increased freedom of movement on the land.
Steadiness and Change as One
The house is a stable microcosm with respect to temperature and general dryness. It maintains a fairly steady temperature while the outside has cold nights, cloudy or hot days, wet afternoons. It keeps one dry during the long, cold days of rain.
Sweet Potato and Taro: a Drama of Change and Continuity
Sweet potato is resistant to dry weather and will keep during the dry season. It will not rot even if there is too much rain, and so it is a durable crop.
There is, then, in Oksapmin a drama of sweet potato and taro. It is a drama in which, accompanied by the feeling of suspense, sweet potato and taro become abundant and scarce, take each other's place and are kept apart.
There is a feeling in Oksapmin that sweet potato and taro are opposites. Sweet potato is associated with ordinariness and dryness; while taro is associated with water, and the sacred or unusual.
For instance, taro is the food eaten not only every day or ordinarily, but in rituals and when consuming the flesh of men. Sweet potato is only for ordinary eating, and is also fed to pigs; taro is not.

These and lots of queries surround the subject of golf fitness. this text is to produce some answers for you on the subject of golf fitness exercises for girl. it's been well documented in magazines and TV however LPG girls like Tamika Sorest utilize golf fitness programs to learn their play on the links. Is there a distinction between the LPG player and therefore the amateur girl golf player in respect to golf fitness training? the solution is not any. Yes, {the girls|the ladies} on the LPG Tour area unit the most effective women golfers within the world, however the physiology of the LPG player and amateur area unit constant. The skeletal, muscular, and neural systems area unit constant. The golf pro has constant variety of muscles in their bodies because the amateur. The woman's golf pro has constant anatomical structure because the feminine amateur, and system in addition. Granted the LPG player has additional refined and economical swing mechanics, however the body is that the same.
As a results of the body being constant, the principles and structure of a golf fitness program for any girl is comparable. Before discussing the specifics of a golf fitness program for girls it's necessary to grasp some vital principles. the primary principle to grasp a couple of golf fitness program is sports specific. Sports specific may be a term describing the kind of coaching used in an exceedingly golf fitness program. Sport specific coaching merely states the program used by the lady contestant is back-geared towards up them in their chosen sport.
A second principle closely associated with sports specific coaching is cross specificity coaching. Cross specificity coaching is that the utilization of exercises to develop the lady golf player within the positions, movements, and actions incorporated within the golf swing. The goal of cross specificity coaching may be a transfer of coaching impact to the sector of competition. merely explicit , a transfer of coaching impact is that the ability of exercises used to coach the feminine golf player having an immediate profit on their performance throughout a spherical of golf.
For example, golf fitness flexibility exercises can conceive to improve the pliability among the lady golf player. because the girl golf player improves her flexibility parameters in respect to the golf swing. She could also be able to produce an even bigger shoulder flip, which can increase the gap of her drives. This profit is associate degree example of a transfer of coaching impact onto the links. In summary, the 3 principles that assist within the development of a golf fitness program for girls are; sports specific, cross specificity coaching, and transfer of coaching impact. several further principles exist that area unit used as tips within the development of a golf fitness program, however these area unit 3 essential ones.
Outside of the rules governing the event of a golf fitness program for girl. Specific physical parts among the body area unit required among the body to execute the golf swing properly. Remember, it's the body playacting the biomechanics of the golf swing. so as for the golf swing to be dead properly and expeditiously bound levels of flexibility, balance, strength, endurance, and power area unit needed. These area unit the particular physical parts among the lady golf player a golf specific fitness program appearance to develop and enhance in respect to the golf swing.
The golf swing needs the body to maneuver through an extended vary of motion for associate degree economical movement to occur. a lot of of this can be contingent upon the flexibility of the core to coil and disentangle throughout the swing. so as for these 2 biomechanical actions to occur expeditiously, the event of correct flexibility within the core is important.
We utilize flexibility exercises that area unit cross-specific to the movements within the golf swing to develop flexibility. the bulk of those flexibility exercises area unit movement and dynamic.
The golf swing may be a dynamic movement, indicating that the body is in constant motion. it's crucial to develop a spread of motion for the swing in an exceedingly dynamic instead of a static (not moving) methodology. The goal of those exercises is to make a spread of motion within the core for the golf swing. Flexibility is that the St physical element requiring development among the lady golf player.
One has to maintain, dynamically, a stable body throughout the whole swing. we've all hit balls at the vary and grasp what happens once we don't keep balanced throughout the swing. up the balance and stabilization capabilities of the core interprets into a much better golf swing. higher Balance equals a much better Swing. Even refined movements area unit consistency killers; therefore we'd like to develop and maintain balance for an identical swing.
Balance is connected to the potency of the system and strength of the muscular system operating along. the event of larger balance within the core and swing is that the results of 2 styles of specific exercise. the primary challenges the system making larger potency. The second area unit exercises that make enlarged strength within the core. the mix of those 2 styles of exercises allow for the body to keep up posture, promote economical weight transfer, and build power within the swing. The result's a additional consistent, accurate, and powerful swing. this can be the second element enclosed with a golf fitness program for girls
Remember that the golf swing may be a repetitive movement. The mechanics of the swing repeat with every stroke. This method are often perennial many times in an exceedingly spherical of golf. Ever head to the vary and hit 2 buckets of balls? At some purpose the body starts to tire, and shots scatter.
Proper endurance coaching allows US to repeat a sound swing. we have a tendency to turn out this through a series of exercises developing endurance within the entire body. This nets US an identical swing through eighteen holes. Increasing endurance ends up in lower scores. this can be the third physical element of the golf fitness program for girls.
Club head speed may be a perform of power. The additional power generated by the body, the larger speed at that a club head impacts the ball. additional power to the ball equals longer drives. Developing higher levels of power among the muscular system of the body is achieved through the implementation of power exercises. These styles of exercise assist in making higher power outputs of the muscles concerned within the golf swing. Power coaching is that the final element found in an exceedingly golf fitness program for girls.
In outline a golf fitness program for the LPG or amateur girl golf player is comparatively constant. Golf fitness exercises for the lady golf player area unit sports specific. The exercises contained among the golf fitness program area unit cross-specific to the movements, positions, and needs of the golf swing. The exercises among a woman's golf fitness program induce a transfer of coaching impact onto the links.

'DWTS' Season 17 Week 2 Results, First Elimination Announced
The first elimination of "Dancing with the Stars" season 17 took place on Monday night after the celebrity cast members hit the ballroom for the second time.
Last week's lowest scores went to Bill Nye "The Science Guy" and his partner Tyne Stecklein, and unfortunately, week two of "DWTS" followed suit. The dancing duo earned a mere 17 points for the second performance on the show.
Nevertheless, the educational science television series host and his partner were deemed safe and moved ahead to week three of the competition.
Marking season17's first elimination, NFL star Keyshawn Johnson and his partner Sharna Burgess were sent home after just two performances on "DWTS" so far.
The season's first elimination was the result of the contestant's debut performance scores as well as their scores from Monday's performances, in addition to the audience's votes for their favorite dances.
Meanwhile, Monday's first dance went to Elizabeth Berkley and Val Chmerkovskiy who earned 25 out of a possible 30 points.
At the top of the leaderboard with a combined score of 51 points was "Glee" star Amber Riley and her partner Derek Hough.
Second place went to "High School Musical" alum Corbin Bleu and his partner Karina Smirnoff who earned 26 points during week two, with a combined total score of 50 points.
Singer Christina Milian and Mark Ballas tied with Elizabeth Berkley in third place with 25 points.
Tied in fourth place with 24 points apiece for week two were couples Jack Osbourne and Cheryl Burke and actress Leah Remini who is paired with pro dancer Tony Dovolani.
Brant Daugherty and his partner Peta Murgatroyd are also moving ahead to compete in week three with 23 points.
Comidian Bill Engvall and Emma Slater's "entertaining" routine earned them 21 points, while Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Sasha Farber followed closely behind with 20 points for their rendition of the rumba.
Then, Valerie Harper and Tristan MacManus danced the flamenco despite the actress' terminal cancer diagnosis, scoring the couple 19 out of 30 points.
The night's second-lowest score went to Keyshawn Johnson and his partner Sharna Burgess who earned 18 points for their routine. Their score was not enough to save the dancing duo this season on "DWTS."
Among the audience members during week two was Steven Tyler, Julianne Hough and Jack Osbourne's parents, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne.
"DWTS" airs on ABC on Monday nights at 8 p.m. EST. Next will will see the eight remaining couples take to the dance floor once more to compete for themirrorball trophy.
For the first time, this season of "DWTS" only airs on Monday nights, eliminating the Results Show that usually followed on Tuesdays in past seasons. The Monday night episodes are two hours long.

I was a drug addict, living a selfish life; with one foot in the grave on my way to a devils hell. It was through the grace of God that I was delivered. I now make it a point to tell what God has done for me, and that he has to do it for anyone else that may be in that situation, cause God is no respector of person. He is a awesome God, I could never thank him for he has done for me and for what he is going to do. I Love to go to church, praise and worship is very important. If you had been through what I had been through you would praise him to, Amen. What people don't understand is when the praises go up the blessings come down. I am thankful for the precious HolyGhost, it truely is my comforter and guide; It is my connection to the Kingdom. Through the HolyGhost I can go straight to the Thrown Room of God and he can work his power through me. If you don't think the HolyGHost is important, try witnessing without it, yeah tell me about it. But I Love you all and pray for the blessings of God to pour out on your life and may every thing you touch prosper, in Jesus name....

Hailed as "mesmerizing" (New York Times Book Review) and "as if Cormac McCarthy decided to rewrite Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird" (Richmond Times-Dispatch), A Land More Kind Than Home made Wiley Cash an instant literary sensation. His resonant new novel, This Dark Road to Mercy, is a tale of love and atonement, blood and vengeance, a story that involves two young sisters, a wayward father, and an enemy determined to see him pay for his sins.
When their mother dies unexpectedly, twelve-year-old Easter Quillby and her six-year-old sister, Ruby, are shuffled into the foster care system in Gastonia, North Carolina, a little town not far from the Appalachian Mountains. But just as they settle into their new life, their errant father, Wade, an ex-minor-league baseball player whom they haven't seen in years, suddenly reappears and steals them away in the middle of the night.
Brady Weller, the girls' court-appointed guardian, begins looking for Wade, and quickly turns up unsettling information linking him to a multimillion-dollar robbery. But Brady isn't the only one hunting him. Also on the trail is Robert Pruitt, a mercurial man nursing a years-old vendetta, a man determined to find Wade and claim what he believes he is owed.
The combination of Cash's evocative and intimate Southern voice and those of the alternating narrators, Easter, Brady, and Pruitt, brings this soulful story vividly to life. At once captivating and heartbreaking, This Dark Road to Mercy is a testament to the unbreakable bonds of family and the primal desire to outrun a past that refuses to let go.
©2014 Wiley Cash (P)2014 HarperCollinsPublishers
"Jenna Lamia's remarkable performance makes her the star of this ensemble audiobook. Her impeccable North Carolina accent and pitch-perfect expression enliven Easter's mixed emotions.... Erik Bergman's slow, gentle voice is a match for Brady's kindness, while Scott Sowers makes listeners shiver with his rendering of Pruitt, a sociopathic hit man." (AudioFile)
"Easter offers chance at redemption; but no spark"
Set around the 1998 HR record chase by Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa (now stained by steroids) and traveling from the foothills of NC to St. Louis, this short novel is enjoyable but not nearly as deep a character study, with as complex a texture or as dark as what I consider the best novel to come out of the South in 20 years, "A Land More Kind Than Home," by the author, Wiley Cash.
The story keeps you interested, though it lags toward the end. The protagonist, Easter, is well-developed and realistic as a 12-year-old whose mom died of a drug overdose and whose father "Wade" is a ne'er-do-well former baseball minor leaguer. Repairing his relationship with Easter offers Wade a chance at redemption. One thing that was not explained enough was the antagonistic relationship between Wade and his pursuer Pruitt and the relationship between the other character Brady (the 2 girls' guardian ad litem) and his daughter could have been more developed and tied into the story.
The novel is worthy of a read/listen, particularly if you enjoyed "More Kind than Home," but I can't highly recommend it.
I must say though that it may be worth the purchase if for nothing more than to hear Jenna Lamia's spectacular rendition of the 12-year-old Easter, the novel's protagonist. Ms. Lamia brings Easter to life as a teenybopper, highly nuanced in tone, accent and spunk.
"A very fine book"
Yes: Gripping story, with complex, imperfect characters.
A land more kind than home, Mr. Cash's first book: A book about failed fatherhood told from multiple first person narrators.
The female reader for the female protagonist lends nice tone and subtlety.
Nice work again from Mr. Cash. A very fine book.
"Another GREAT from Wiley Cash!"
The narators did a good job, especially on the accents. I'm from NC and nothing upsets me more than fake accents.
I never got bored. Mr Cash does a great job of keeping your interest.
Can't decide between the shock of Wiley's mother's death or the scene at the park.
Mr. Cash has certainly outdone himself! He is extremely good at conveying to the reader what its like to be in the character's place.
The first book he wrote was good but predictable. I was so glad to see he has gotten past that stumbling point with this book. It was full of twists and turns.
I really loved the ending!
I read this book in 2 days!
"Well told but lacks punch"
Wiley Cash set the bar very high with his debut "A Land More Kind than Home", and as often happens, the highly anticipated follow-up fell just a little short.
Once again Cash uses the 3-voice format, and two of the three work. Easter Quillby sets the tone and tells the largest portion of the story, effectively communicating the very complex emotions that accompany abandonment and the need to grow up way too early. Brady – the court appointed guardian to Easter and her sister, is well written and believable but is essentially utilitarian to the arc of the story. But Pruett, the bad guy pursuing the girls and their father, is a cardboard villain with no more depth or motivation than The Terminator. Because the characters in each storyline don't actually cross paths with each other in the chase, there is no exploration of their relationships beyond the one dimensional POV of each narrator. I think that was the reason this story lacked the punch in the gut delivered by "A Land More Kind". That said, I do like the very end of the story – two small surprises that suggest how the story will move forward.
Which takes me to the narration. Again, 2 out of 3 narrators do their job well. Jenna Lamia shows why she is the go-to voice for young southern girls. Eric Bergmann lends Brady the seriousness of a man trying to do right to make up for a past mistake. But Scott Sowers takes an already stereotyped bad guy and caricatures him into a hillbilly Snidely Whiplash. I actually stopped listening to his chapters and ordered the Kindle version to get past his awful narration. (This makes the second time I have abandoned an Audible of his narration in favor of the print version). For overall narration, I can only give 3 stars because of Sowers.
"Should Have / Could Have Been a Good Book"
This book lacks depth and heart. The overall plot has promise but the author just takes it nowhere. The characters are cardboard and shallow. The story is underdeveloped and full of innuendo that goes nowhere. The narration is less than stellar and most likely it's just me, but I find Jenna Lamia's voice irritating. So this one is a waste of time & credit, a giant snooze-fest.
"A sweet, dark story"
I enjoyed this book a lot. I didn't love whoever read for Pruitt's part (his voice was kind of abrasive) but he's the person who has the least amount of talking, so it's totally bearable. It's an exciting, engaging and emotional story.
"A Safe Choice"
This was a pleasant story, well told by a cast that presented the various characters nicely. It's not life-changing or even terribly memorable, but it kept me listening. This is an example of a book that is better on audio, and where having multiple readers was an excellent choice.
Two young girls who have been kicked around terribly by life, are faced with a choice: escape with the father they barely know, or face an uncertain future with grandparents they've never met? Unsurprisingly, they take off with Dad, and encounter unexpected adventure.
I could have done with more danger, and some actual resolution at the end. The characters are well developed (and this is emphasized by using multiple readers), the situation wonderfully conceived, but the plot is weak. It's as if Cash got too attached to the girls and didn't want to get them into too much trouble.
"Stunning Writing, Stunning Performance"
Engaging, Family love and ethics.
The characters were fully developed; mom was still loving and taught the girls life lessons despite her life style and drug dependence, dad was loving even though he was flawed and weak, The slow development of love that grew from the anger that Easter had towards her dad. I liked the Brady character, he too had depth and his behavior demonstrated his conflict between doing what was required and following his heart. Pruitt was truly evil and was the perfect villain.This story had me hooked from the first with good dialogue, an excellent plot and the pitch perfect voices of the narrators. All three were top notch and really made the story come alive.
Near the end; where Easter sends her father a message on two levels, the observable and the underlying message of love and acceptance.
A family trip on many levels; from distrust to love, trying to escape evil, and the struggle to try for a new start.
The narrators did an outstanding job; the voice of Jenna Lemia was just perfect in her dialogue of both Easter and Ruby as well as the voice of Wade. She has such control of tone and she was a joy to listen to because of her smooth delivery and pitch of tone for each character. Both Pruitt and Brady's voices were to me exactly the voices I pictured for the characters.
"I liked it"
Very good story line; perspective from different characters. I recommend this book. will be looking for others from same author and narrators.
"Not quite what I was expecting"
I think people with penchant for constant melo-drama...
Well the title was a complete throw off. It was supposed to be about two kids in the foster care system. I was hoping for a focus more on that but yet, it was wandering about everywhere without real consistencies or sense.
Not quite sure! sorry!
Nothing at all. I stopped caring at chapter 9

Jennifer Lopez Responds to Jennifer Lawrence Dance Claim [VIDEO]
When Jennifer Lawrence stopped by 'Jimmy Fallon' last week, she had a bone to pick with the host. Yelling that Fallon "made me look like a freak in front of J. Lo!" Lawrence revealed that the two planned a choreographed move to ask Jennifer Lopez to dance at a party, but Fallon ditched her, leaving J. Law alone to ask Lopez by herself. Lawrence revealed that Lopez politely declined the offer, but the 'American Idol' judge recently spoke with Access Hollywood to clarify her response.
"This is how I remember it: I remember that we were at the Met Ball and Kanye [West] was about to perform and it was like a crazy moment," J. Lo revealed on the 2014 Billboard Music Awards red carpet. "And then they came over, Jimmy Fallon, he started talking and I was with Benny [Medina] and Beau [Casper Smart] and then [Jennifer Lawrence] came over too. It was like they were a little group."
"And then she was like, 'Let's go dance,' and I was like, 'No, I'm good right here,'" Lopez explained. "But I didn't mean it like 'I don't want to dance with you.' I just meant like, it's so crowded in here let's stay right here."
In fact, Lopez not only wanted to dance with the 'Hunger Games' star, she would have loved to do so.
"Absolutely," she said when asked if she wanted to dance with Lawrence. "Come on! That would've been so sweet!" Watch J. Lo's response below.

If only the Duke of York wasn't so grand
It can't have been a comfortable few seconds for Prince Andrew pounced upon by armed officers as he took an early evening stroll in his own back garden and, reportedly, ordered to get his hands up and lie on the ground.
There had been an earlier breach of security at Buckingham Palace and consequently police officers were on high alert. Noticing a burly figure striding around the grounds you can totally understand why their first thought may have been "intruder" rather than "Air Miles Andy".
Better safe than sorry.
Not having been there none of us knows exactly what passed between the two parties – constabulary and royalty – but reports suggest that the very grand old Duke of York took it badly.
Asked to verify his identity ("Can I see your driving licence, sir?") he is said to have shouted at the officers: "Don't you know who I am?" His identity thus verified he is then reported to have lectured them "like a schoolteacher".
And certainly his statement on the matter (following an apology from senior Scotland Yard officers) does suggest a chippiness about how he feels it was handled. "The police have a difficult job to do balancing security for the Royal family and deterring intruders and sometimes they get it wrong ... "
Get it wrong?
Challenging someone they truly believed could be an intruder?
"I am grateful for their apology and look forward to a safe walk in the garden in future ... "
Actually Andy is safe in his garden because those brave officers on the ground are there to ensure that he is. Had he been an armed madman, had he attacked them, they were prepared to put their lives on the line.
So whether their genuine, understandable mistake necessitated an official apology is a good question (you can't see the Queen demanding one, can you?)
"Don't you know who I am?" the puffed up Duke is said to have shouted at the officers doing their job. Only too well, Andy, only too well.

Why Swim?
Swimming is one of the very few, if not the only, cradle to grave sports. It is a sport you can introduce your child to at a very early age, and they can continue to swim through all stages of their life.
Swimming is also a sport that can be picked up at any age or at any stage in a person's life.
Remember parents, swimming takes place in a very different medium to other sports – water. Because of this, we recommend that you introduce your child to the environment as early as possible. The easiest, cheapest place to do this is your own bath at home. Allow children get used to the feel of the water on their skin, particularly on their face.
Once a child has received their vaccinations they can be brought to your local swimming pool. Again, the earlier this is done, the better it is for a child. It is also important that going swimming is a regular occurrence as it allows your child to get used to the different smells and noises that can be found at the pool.
Once your child reaches the age of approximately 12 months, and wants to explore moving in the water on their own we recommend the use of a floatation device. Of course, it is vital that parents stay close to their child at all times while the child is in the pool. The important thing at this age is allowing them to get comfortable in the water.
We do not recommend formal classes for children until they reach school going age, but there are a number of classes out there should you wish to avail of them. These consist of Swim-A-Song; a Swim Ireland programme for children from 3-36 months encouraging them to explore movement in the water through the use of nursery rhymes or Waterbabies; a programme for children from 6 weeks – 12months teaching parents how to teach their children to swim.
Once a child reaches school going age (or an age at which they can understand instruction) we recommend they join a Learn to Swim programme. Click here to find a pool close to you where you may find a programme.
As your child progresses through the Learn to Swim programme you will see huge improvements in their confidence and their abilities in the water. As your child moves up through the levels, they may decide they would like to join a swimming club. Discuss this option with the swimming teacher and contact your local club (details can be found by clicking here) to find out about how to join.
Should your child not want to swim, but would like to take part in some form of activity in the pool, you can also find details for your local water polo or diving clubs by clicking on the above link.
If you would like further information on Child Learn to Swim or swimming clubs etc, please read our FAQs which can be found here:

wikiHow to Make Toffee Candy
Almonds, chocolate and sugar combine to make this crunchy candy treat often shared during the holidays. You will need to cover a large baking sheet with foil. Make sure to leave a 1-inch foil edge around the pan sides. Spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray before pouring the hot candy mixture into the pan.
- 3/4 cup almonds, toasted and chopped
- 1 pound of dark chocolate
- 2 cups (1 pound) butter
- 2-2/3 cups granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
1Cut the butter into small, even squares. Place the chopped butter, sugar, water, and corn syrup in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat.
2Stir the mixture constantly until the sugar is dissolved and the butter is melted. Insert a candy thermometer and bring the candy to a boil. Periodically brush down the sides of the pan with a wet pastry brush to prevent sugar crystals from forming on the sides and turning your candy unpleasantly gritty.
3Cook the candy, stirring frequently, until it reaches 300 degrees on the candy thermometer. If the candy appears to separate (with a layer of melted butter on top) carefully stir it vigorously to make it come back together again. Watch the candy as it approaches 300 °F (149 °C), since it cooks quickly and can easily scorch at high temperatures. As it reaches the proper temperature it will turn a dark, golden amber color.
4Remove the pan from the heat once the candy reaches 300 °F (149 °C). Carefully remove the pan from heat and pour the toffee onto the prepared baking sheet.
5Immediately after the toffee is poured onto the baking sheet, use a spatula to spread the candy to an even thickness.
6Allow the toffee to begin to set for a minute or two, then spray a knife with nonstick cooking spray and score the toffee into small squares or rectangles, firmly cutting through to the bottom of the pan. Allow the toffee to cool completely.
7Break the candy apart on the scored lines into small squares once it has begun to cool. At this point, the toffee is finished and can be served plain. If you wish to dip it in chocolate, proceed to the next step.
8Dip the toffee in chocolate, begin by melting the chocolate. Place it in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave it in one-minute increments, stirring after every minute to prevent overheating.
9Dip each piece of toffee in the chocolate. You can dip it halfway in, or if you prefer, you can use a fork or dipping tools to submerge the toffee pieces entirely in chocolate. Remove the toffee from the chocolate and drag the bottom of the fork across the lip of the bowl to remove excess chocolate. Place dipped toffee pieces on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. You can serve the chocolate-dipped toffee as-is, or if you would like to cover it with chopped nuts, proceed to the next step.
10Sprinkle the tops of the toffee bars generously with chopped nuts after the chocolate has begun to set. Repeat with the remaining chocolate, toffee and nuts.
11Place the toffee in the refrigerator to set the chocolate for about 20-30 minutes. Once the chocolate is set, the toffee can be served immediately or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

BUENOS AIRES, May 21 (Reuters) - U.S. energy major Exxon Mobil Corp said it has made its first discovery of non-conventional gas and crude oil in Argentina's vast shale formation of Vaca Muerta.
Initial results at a well 4,570 meters (15,000 feet) deep produced an average flow rate of 770 barrels of oil per day, Exxon said in a statement late Tuesday.
The Vaca Muerta, Spanish for "dead cow," field in the southern Argentine region of Patagonia is thought to be one of the world's biggest shale reserves and could double Argentina's energy output within a decade.
Argentina is seeking financing and expertise to develop the formation and has signed one major Vaca Muerta deal, a $1.24 billion joint venture with U.S.-based Chevron Corp.
ExxonMobil is one of several other companies, including Total and Royal Dutch Shell, that have signed on to smaller projects. (Reporting by Alejandro Lifschitz; Writing by Sarah Marsh; Editing by Marguerita Choy)

Sustainable By Design
Many know the feeling – unwrapping a new board, screwing in your already worn down trucks, carefully applying the grip tape to the top of the deck so that there aren't any air bubbles, and then taking the first push on your newly assembled skateboard. You glide around feeling out the contours of the board, bend up and down to get the feeling of the deck, and shuffle your feet around to get your body acquainted with your new ride. But then it happens. You hesitate to pop a trick in fear that you're going to deface the beautiful design that attracted your eyes to the deck in the first place. Over time, everyone gets over that first feeling of caution and skates. They skate until the tail and nose are worn down to the point you can visibly see all three layers of wood worn to a pulp, and the graphics etched into an amorphous blob of wax, ink, and exposed wood.
And then you either throw away your old board or put it behind a broken refrigerator in the garage out of sight, and out of mind.
Seems like a waste doesn't it? That's what Rich Moorhead, co-founder of Art of Board, realized in 2004 when he stumbled upon a pile of old skateboard decks that belonged to his nephew. Feeling the same sense of astonishment at the beauftifully designed decks, Rich felt that rather than have the decks go to a landfill why not put his carpentry skills to good use and create something out of the boards?
He created a picture frame.
10, 367 boards later Rich and co-founder Bruce Boul have turned a pile of old skateboards into a full-service lifestyle and design brand. Now the company makes everything from skate tiling, textiles, skate letters, iPhone cases and decorative sculptures of wooden states all made out of recycled skateboards. But that's not all the pair have undertaken with their creative endeavor. In 2010, Boul and Moorhead created the first international grass-roots skateboarding recycling movement: I Ride, I Recycle. Their movement aims to keep broken skateboards out of landfills and into both the hands of community kids who cannot afford new skateboards and into the design of Art of Board's products.
"The biggest struggle is getting the message out there that this is more than just just a good thing for our environment – IRIR is also about supporting shops, parks, communities, and skate charities," says co-founder Bruce Boul. "Challenges we face are growing the movement and being able to fund it, the response is huge, but we must continue to grow it and get support from riders, shops and the industry."
For all the corporate talk nowadays about business operations fueling their philanthropic endeavors, it's refreshing to see a team that seems to be truly dedicated to creating a "Movement" that is aimed at helping the community that gave their endeavor life.
So how does all of this work?
The Brand, or as many know it as Art of Board, turns skateboards into functionable and fashionable products that are sold to people like you and me around the world. This generates the profit that keeps the organization going and the staff compensated for dedicating their time to pushing the business forward. These profits are then siphoned off to power "The Movement," or I Ride, I Recycle. Funds are allocated to covering the operating costs of I Ride, I Recycle, which ultimately help setup the recycling bins and transportation costs associated with moving the boards from local shops. Once a shop decides to buy-in to the vision of I Ride, I Recycle, the company buys a "complete" deck from the store and hosts events throughout the year that encourages kids to come recycle their broken boards as well as drives business to the local shops. The IRIR team also features all of the stores on their website and features a local shop every month through a video that is produced for the sole purpose of promoting the store. The boards collected from skate shops are sent off either to kids in communities who can't afford new boards or back into the Brand to create more products.
And then the cycle continues.
While it would be easy to get carried away with the "staying true to your roots" cliche that penetrates every stand of identity involved with Art of Board and I Ride, I Recycle, it's pretty impressive how Boul and Moorhead have created a sustainable cycle to power their business, their movement and the skate community. While the question of scalability comes into play, the pair seems well adept at creating more momentum for their vision – many corporate sponsors have signed on to contribute as well as skate legend Mike Vallely who is now the official spokesman for the company.
Both heavily rooted in the skate community Boul and Moorhead have created business model that not only takes into account their bottom line, but also the well-being of the community that it sources its business. That's something that many businesses outside of the skateboarding industry could take note of.

A few tidbits — just to give a flavor — from the Summary for Policymakers, which is available here. (Good luck downloading this file! You may want to wait until everyone is asleep…)1. Observed changes in climate and their effectsWarming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global average sea level…There is observational evidence of an increase in intense tropical cyclone activity in the North Atlantic since about1970, with limited evidence of increases elsewhere. There is no clear trend in the annual numbers of tropicalcyclones. It is difficult to ascertain longer term trends in cyclone activity, particularly prior to 1970.Changes in Temperature, Sea Level and Northern Hemisphere Snow Cover:Table SPM.2. Examples of some projected regional impacts (partial table)
- Africa
- By 2020, between 75 and 250 million of people are projected to be exposed to increased water stress due to climate change;
- By 2020, in some countries, yields from rain-fed agriculture could be reduced by up to 50%. Agricultural production, including access to food, in many African countries is projected to be severely compromised. This would further adversely affect food security and exacerbate malnutrition;
- Towards the end of the 21st century, projected sea-level rise will affect low-lying coastal areas with large populations. The cost of adaptation could amount to at least 5-10% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP);
- By 2080, an increase of 5-8% of arid and semi-arid land in Africa is projected under a range of climate scenario (TS).
- Asia
- By the 2050s, freshwater availability in Central, South, East and South-EastAsia, particularly in large river basins, is projected to decrease;
- Coastal areas, especially heavily-populated megadelta regions in South, East and South-East Asia, will be at greatest risk due to increased flooding from the sea and, in some megadeltas, flooding from the rivers;
- Climate change is projected to compound the pressures on natural resources and the environment, associated with rapid urbanization, industrialization and economic development;
- Endemic morbidity and mortality due to diarrhoeal disease primarily associated with floods and droughts are expected to rise in East, South and South-East Asia due to projected changes in the hydrological cycle.
- North America
- Warming in western mountains is projected to cause decreased snowpack, more winter flooding, and reducedsummer flows, exacerbating competition for over-allocated water resources;
- In the early decades of the century, moderate climate change is projected to increase aggregate yields of rain-fed agriculture by 5-20%, but with important variability among regions. Major challenges are projected for crops that are near the warm end of their suitable range or which depend on highly utilized water resources;
- During the course of this century, cities that currently experience heatwaves are expected to be further challenged by an increased number, intensity and duration of heatwaves during the course of the century, with potential for adverse health impacts;
- Coastal communities and habitats will be increasingly stressed by climate change impacts interacting with development and pollution.

Both Romney and Obama are airing advertisements in the state – though, as some analysts have noted, some Minnesota ad buys can also reach voters in Wisconsin, which both sides view as a swing state.
Still, analysts give Obama the edge in Minnesota. Two other polls released recently in the state, one from Rasmussen and the other from St. Cloud University, gave the president a five- and eight-point lead, respectively.
Romney is ahead in some national tracking polls, but is also seen as having a tougher path in the electoral college. A new Washington Post poll, for instance, found Romney down in Virginia, which is seen as a crucial state for the Republican.
But the Star Tribune's poll also suggests that, even with just nine days left until Election Day, there could be a chance for the battleground map to expand.

Legal Question in Family Law in District of Columbia
hi I have been married for 10 years and my husband is the sole provider of our home and 4months ago
he just jump up and moved out leaving me with bills and no income since I was a housewife what can I do about this can I sue him for bill money.
3 Answers from Attorneys
You can "sue" him by filing for divorce after 12 months passes since he moved out. At that point, your assets and your debts will be divided amongst the two of you. The court will consider various factors about how the two of you behaved while in the marriage and why the separation occurred to determine how the marital property and debt is divided. Being a house wife will not be a bar to the asset division.
You and your husband can also reach your own agreement and have that incorporated into the divorce decree. If you have such an agreement, you can file for divorce in as early as 6 months after he moved out, but only if you don't have any children.
Please contact me or another divorce attorney immediately to discuss your situation in detail and in private, and to obtain more precise advise on how to proceed.
The above answer is for Virginia law, not DC Law. Please disregard.
I am sorry to hear about your problem.
You should sue for divorce and seek emergency support with your initial filing.
I am actually licensed and practice family law in Washington, DC.
I am available to discuss this matter with you in DC.

Re: Judge Kramer - December 12 - Micron's "immunity" from treble damages
>> I have questioned whether the "immunity" applies to all cases arising from AT violations or only with the DOJ itself? <<
The US Department of Justice ("DOJ") decides whether there will be immunity from Federal criminal liability.
For civil antitrust liability, the (Federal or state) court presiding over the civil lawsuit has the authority to decide if "detrebling" immunity under the statute will apply, once Federal prosecutors have offered immunity from criminal liability to the cooperating cartel member.
To explain this more fully:
The availability of immunity from civil and criminal lliability came into the law with the Antitrust Criminal Penalty Enhancement and Reform Act of 2004, passed by Congress, and signed into law by President Bush in June, 2004. See Part IV of this August, 2004 discussion of the new statute by the Deputy Assistant Attorney General, Antitrust Division, previously quoted here today: http://www.justice.gov/atr/public/speeches/205630.htm
Here are the passages relevant to immunity from civil treble damages (emphases added).
From the emphasized passages, I think it's clear that the judge in the civil antitrust case (whether in Federal Court of a state court) will be the one to determine whether the cooperation of the ciminally-immunized cartel member is sufficient to make the cartel member eligible for a reduction to single damages.:
>> C. The Detrebling Provisions
This provision was specifically designed to augment the Antitrust Division's Corporate Leniency Policy, which has been so very effective in exposing harmful cartel activity in recent years. Under this program, a cartel participant that voluntarily blows the whistle on the cartel can avoid prosecution if it comes forward and cooperates with the investigation and prosecution. This legislation gives cartel members an even greater incentive to turn themselves in. It does that by limiting their potential damages in private lawsuits to single damages based on their own role in the cartel, provided that they also cooperate with plaintiffs in the private lawsuit. Other cartel participants remain fully liable for treble damages based on harm caused by the entire conspiracy. The result should be more cartels exposed and brought to justice, both in criminal prosecutions and in private legal actions.
It is important to emphasize that this provision reduces civil damages from corporate amnesty applicants to single damages in a private lawsuit only if an applicant cooperates with the plaintiffs in that lawsuit. It will be up to the court in which the civil action is brought to determine whether cooperation is satisfactory, but the statute makes it clear that cooperation shall include providing a full account of all facts known to the applicant or cooperating individual that are potentially relevant to the civil action and furnishing all documents potentially relevant to the civil action that are in the possession, custody, or control of the applicant or cooperating individual, wherever those documents are located. An antitrust leniency applicant must also use its best efforts to secure the cooperation of employee witnesses.
This detrebling provision was intended to provide the most incentive possible for firms and individuals participating in illegal conspiracies to seek the protection of the Leniency Program and turn themselves in. That is why it explicitly applies to state actions as well. Indeed, the legislation itself clearly states that "in any civil action alleging a violation of section 1 or 3 of the Sherman Act, or alleging a violation of any similar State law the amount of damages recovered . . . from an antitrust leniency applicant . . . shall not exceed that portion of the actual damages sustained by the claimant . . . ."(20)
. . . . . some clever lawyer will undoubtedly come forward and try to make the argument that the detrebling provision does not apply in a particular state action, perhaps (for example) because the state law at issue allows actions on behalf of indirect purchasers.
That argument would be flatly mistaken. The scope of the detrebling provision was clearly intended to be broad in order to serve the express purpose of the legislation--to enhance the Division's Leniency Program. The provision's legislative history makes this abundantly clear. For example, Chairman Hatch explained that:
"This [detrebling] provision addresses this disincentive to self-reporting [created by the threat of treble damages]. Specifically, it amends the antitrust laws to modify the damage recovery from a corporation and its executives to actual damages. In other words, the total liability of a successful leniency applicant would be limited to single damages without joint and several liability. Thus, the applicant would only be liable for the actual damages attributable to its own conduct, rather than being liable for three times the damages caused by the entire unlawful conspiracy. [¶] Importantly, this limitation on damages is only available to corporations and their executives if they provide adequate and timely cooperation to both the Government investigators as well as any subsequent private plaintiffs bringing a civil suit based on the covered criminal conduct.(21) "
Similarly, Senator Leahy explained that this detrebling provision "would . . . give our prosecutors the authority to effectively limit a cooperating party's potential civil liability as well, and to limit that liability to single damages in any subsequent civil lawsuit brought by a private plaintiff."(22) This was echoed by Senator Kohl, who stated that the provision "will give the Justice Department the ability to offer those applying for leniency the additional reward of only facing actual damages in antitrust civil suits, rather than treble damage liability."(23) Finally, Senator DeWine explained that this provision "decreases . . . liability by limiting the damages a private plaintiff may recover from a corporation that has cooperated with the Antitrust Division. Specifically, the conspirator is not liable for the usual treble damages; instead, it is only liable for actual damages."(24) Significantly, none of the Senate sponsors of the legislation suggested that this detrebling accomplished anything other than a complete elimination of any potential treble damage liability.
The House sponsor of the legislation, Chairman Sensebrenner, was equally clear about the breadth of the detrebling provision:
Title II of the legislation also contains important modifications to the antitrust leniency program used by the Department of Justice to facilitate the detection and prosecution of antitrust violations. Under existing practice, parties that cooperate with Federal antitrust authorities to uncover violations may not be subject to government prosecution, but remain liable in civil actions brought by private parties. The bill creates an additional incentive for corporations to disclose antitrust violations by limiting their liability in related civil claims to actual damages. Furthermore, while a cooperating party would be liable only for damages attributable to that party's conduct, noncooperating conspirators will remain jointly and severally liable for treble damages for the misconduct of all of the conspirators.(25)
This statement makes it clear that the detrebling provision--in order to have the maximum intended effect of creating an incentive for corporations to disclose antitrust violations--limits liability in all related civil claims to actual damages.
Needless to say, if the detrebling provision were read narrowly to permit some state law treble damage antitrust claims to proceed, the goal of the detrebling provision would be seriously compromised. In light of this and in light of Congress' clear intent to enhance the Leniency Program by limiting the "total liability" of a successful leniency applicant, any doubts should be resolved in favor of finding that such claims are precluded when the other requirements of the detrebling provision are satisfied. <<
