The Problem of Settlement Class Actions
I have posted a new paper, The Problem of Settlement Class Actions, on SSRN. It makes the argument that we should abandon settlement-only class actions as a means of resolving mass disputes. The article focuses first on problems of leverage, including would-be class counsel's inability to take the class claims to trial and the monopsony or "reverse auction" problem. Because of the inherent asymmetry of settlement class action negotiations, would-be class counsel does not adequately represent the interests of the absent class members. The article incorporates these leverage concerns into an account of the illegitimacy of settlement-only class certification as a matter of judicial authority. The problems include not only due process concerns of inadequate representation, but also Rules Enabling Act concerns.
Settlement class actions have been an important form of dispute resolution in mass torts (as well as securities, antitrust, and other areas). Despite the Supreme Court's rejection of two asbestos settlement class actions in Amchem and Ortiz, and despite the problems encountered in the fen-phen nationwide settlement class action shortly thereafter, mass tort settlement class actions have never disappeared, and we need only look at the BP settlement class actions in the Gulf Oil Spill litigation for a well-known recent example.
Needless to say, the argument I am advancing faces an uphill battle. It cuts against entrenched interests of defendants, of plaintiffs' counsel, and of judges, all of whom prefer easier paths to comprehensive negotiated resolutions. The argument also cuts against the grain of most recent thinking on this topic. The ALI Principles of the Law of Aggregate Litigation, as well as a recent suggestion under consideration by the Advisory Committee on Civil Rules, would alter Rule 23 to facilitate settlement class actions even in cases that would be uncertifiable for purposes of litigation. Recent cases such as the Second Circuit's 2012 decision in In re AIG Securities Litigation and the Third Circuit's 2011 en banc decision in Sullivan v. DB Investments have taken new liberties with the Supreme Court's Amchem decision. The article explains what is problematic about the direction these cases have taken.
Here is the abstract:
This article argues that class actions should never be certified solely for purposes of settlement. Contrary to the widespread "settlement class action" practice that has emerged in recent decades, contrary to current case law permitting settlement class certification, and contrary to recent proposals that would extend and facilitate settlement class actions, this article contends that settlement class actions are ill-advised as a matter of litigation policy and illegitimate as a matter of judicial authority. This is not to say that disputes should not be resolved on a classwide basis, or that class actions should not be resolved by negotiated resolutions. Rather, this article contends that if a dispute is to be resolved on a classwide basis, then the resolution should occur after a court has found the matter suitable for classwide adjudication regardless of settlement.

Zachary Savage on Implementing Issue Preclusion in Mass Tort Litigation Through Bellwether Trials
Zachary Savage (J.D. Candidate, NYU), has posted to SSRN his student note, Scaling Up: Implementing Issue Preclusion in Mass Tort Litigation Through Bellwether Trials, N.Y.U. L. Rev. (forthcoming 2013). Here's the abstract:
The civil litigation system aims to resolve disputes in an efficient, centralized, and final manner. In the context of mass tort litigation, one technique courts often use to achieve these goals is what I call "scaling up": holding individual trials, and then applying results from these trials to similarly situated individuals. Scaling up, however, presents two difficulties. First, the technique risks compromising defendants' Due Process rights by creating impermissible settlement pressure. Second, scaling up requires the initial court to structure the litigation so that it may serve as a template for follow-on proceedings; where this is not done, attempting to graft the results of one proceeding onto the remaining group of similarly situated individuals may simply lead to more protracted litigation.
Yet these difficulties are not inherent to the technique; in fact, courts can scale up in a way that avoids these problems. In order to mitigate the Due Process problem, courts should not apply the results of individual trials to subsequent trials involving similar claims until a substantial number of trials have been completed, and until it has become clear that any verdicts unfavorable to defendants are not flukes or outliers. And to ensure that scaling up does not simply lead to more protracted litigation, the initial trials should be structured so as to maximize the likelihood that individuals in follow-on litigation can invoke the findings under the issue preclusion doctrine of Parklane Hosiery v. Shore. The American Law Institute has made a proposal with these considerations in mind with respect to issue classes. This Note argues that a similar approach should be taken in the Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) process, where most mass tort litigation occurs today. This approach would be particularly useful if applied to one device that is being used with increasing frequency in the MDL process: the bellwether trial.

Comcast v. Behrend
The Supreme Court released its decision in Comcast v. Behrend today. The Court (with Justice Scalia writing for the majority) overturned the 3rd Circuit and held that the plaintiff does need to introduce evidence in support of its damages model in an antitrust case at the certification stage.
There is a history of antitrust cases touching on procedural issues having significant impact outside the antitrust field (e.g. AT&T v. Twombly). This is likely to be another one.

Goldhaber on the Chevron-Ecuador Litigation
At Corporate Counsel, there's an interesting piece by journalist Michael Goldhaber entitled Kindergarten Lessons from Chevron in Ecuador. Goldhaber, who has been following this massive and messy litigation for years, offers what he sees as some of the true and false lessons from the ongoing litigation concerning Texaco-Chevron's involvement in oil drilling in Ecuador.
In a nutshell, the litigation involves claims that a Texaco subsidiary caused environmental damage to the Oriente region of Ecuador. Plaintiffs originally sued in the Southern District of New York, but their suit was dismissed on grounds of forum non conveniens. Plaintiffs then filed a lawsuit in Ecuador and won an $18 billion judgment. Chevron contends that the Ecuadorian judgment was obtained by fraud and corruption, and has resisted enforcement of the judgment. Chevron sued plaintiffs' attorney Stephen Donziger and others, asserting RICO and fraud claims. An international arbitration tribunal weighed in pursuant to the Ecuador-US bilateral investment treaty. Plaintiffs are seeking to enforce the judgment in Canada, Argentina, Brazil and elsewhere. This mess of a litigation has been going on for nearly 20 years.
Goldhaber, in prior work, has articulated a strong view that the Ecuadorian judgment was the product of fraud and corruption. In the new article, Goldhaber takes as his starting point the Stanford Journal of Complex Litigation symposium that took place in February. He goes through the basic lessons offered by the participants -- plaintiffs' lawyer Graham Erion, defense lawyer Theodore Boutros, and a host of scholars including myself.
The strongest lesson (and here I am in complete agreement with Goldhaber): "Be careful what you wish for." The irony of this litigation is overwhelming. Texaco fought to have the case dismissed on grounds of forum non conveniens, arguing that Ecuador was a more appropriate forum. The plaintiffs argued that the Ecuadorian courts could not handle the case and that it should remain in the U.S. Ever since the massive judgment, however, the positions have been flipped -- with the plaintiffs insisting that the judgment deserves respect and the defendant contending that the Ecuadorian courts were corrupt. Goldhaber has referred to this as "forum shopper's remorse."
But I do not agree with Goldhaber's next step. Noting that "the abuse of transnational litigation would never have happened had the U.S. held on to the case," he suggests that the doctrine of forum non conveniens be altered to take into account the stakes and political significance of a case:
The great blunder in this dispute was to ship it to Ecuador in the name of forum non conveniens. The U.S. courts could have saved everyone a lot of grief had they recognized that a case is more prone to abuse when the issues are (a) high-stakes or (b) politicized. I learned from Russia's Yukos affair that, even if a weak judicial system has made significant progress, it does not deserve trust in a hot-button case of great magnitude. It was reckless to expect Ecuador (even if it had just adopted a new set of corruption reforms) to handle a huge case pitting gringo oil companies against indigenous rights. My modest suggestion is to incorporate these factors into the FNC analysis.
The adequate alternative forum prong of the forum non conveniens analysis is a low threshold, and deliberately so. A lawsuit alleging environmental harm to Ecuadorian land and medical harm to Ecuadorian citizens, and involving control over Ecuadorian natural resources, belongs in Ecuador. That is the very point of forum non conveniens. A U.S. court should be loath to say that it will hear the case in the U.S. because it thinks the Ecuadorian courts just cannot handle it. A judgment obtained by fraud should not be enforceable elsewhere, but this is better addressed ex post, which is exactly what the current litigation -- albeit in a rather ugly fashion -- is doing. But to have said, ex ante, that the case should be heard in the United States despite all of the public and private interest factors that pointed to Ecuador, would have been a mistake.

Stanley Chesley Disbarred
Stanley M. Chesley, one of the leading mass tort lawyers of his generation, was disbarred today by the Kentucky Supreme Court (court's opinion here). Chesley played an important role in many of the biggest mass torts of the past forty years: the Beverly Hills Supper Club fire, tobacco, breast implants, fen-phen, Bendectin, Bhopal, Lockerbie, Catholic church sex abuse, MGM Grand Hotel, San Juan Dupont Plaza, and other mass torts, as well as numerous antitrust and securities class actions. He was disbarred for his involvement in an aggregate settlement of Kentucky fen-phen claims. The court found that the lawyers violated rules of professional conduct by taking fees in excess of what their fee agreement provided, by including an inappropriate cy pres remedy that advantaged the lawyers rather than the clients, and by failing to comply with the disclosure and informed consent requirements of the aggregate settlement rule.
The Kentucky diet drug settlement also led to the disbarment and imprisonment of Kentucky attorneys William Gallion and Shirley Cunningham, as well as criminal, civil, and ethics proceedings and penalties for several other lawyers. For earlier coverage of the Kentucky fen-phen settlement dispute, see here, here, here, here, and here.
On today's disbarment of Chesley, see these news accounts in the Lexington Herald-Leader, the Cincinnati Enquirer, and the ABA Journal.

Junk Food: The Next Mass Tort?
The allegation that sugar is "toxic" and the recent article in the NYTimes "The Extraodinary Science of Junk Food" indicates that fast food litigation may indeed be the next tobacco. I am interested, do we have readers who are litigating or defending cases? I found a 2008 article in Findlaw on the subject for those interested: Obesity, the Next Tobacco?
UPDATED: There is an article on one of the centers of food litigation: The Northern District of California in the Recorder (h/t Tort Prof Blog).

SCOTUS Ruling in Amgen
The Supreme Court just issued its ruling in Amgen v. Connecticut Retirement Plans & Trust Funds. You can find the slip opinion here.
The Court held that a finding of materiality is not necessary at the class certification stage for a Securities Class Action. Ultimately, of course, plaintiff will have to prove that the representation was material, but the Court said that proof can wait until after class certification. This holding is consistent with the Court's holding in Erica P. John Fund v. Halliburton last year. In that case, the Court unanimously held that plaintiff need not prove loss causation. You can find the opinion in that case here.
The Court held in Amgen that since materiality is an issue that is common to the whole class (to think of it in Wal-Mart v. Dukes's language, if plaintiff cannot carry her burden a finding that the representation was not material will decide all the claims "in one stroke").
The majority was written by Justice Ginsburg. Justice Thomas, Scalia and Kennedy dissented and Justice Alito filed a concurring opinion.

Hiroko Tanaka Photo Essay on Effects of Agent Orange on Vietnamese Children
CNN.com has a photo essay by Hiroko Tanaka showing deformed Vietnamese children whose conditions may stem from Agent Orange herbicide sprayed by the United States during the Vietnamese War. The story accompanying the photos discusses the difficulties in tracing causation. For more on the diseases potentially caused by Agent Orange, see the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs' webpage on Veterans' Diseases Associated with Agent Orange.
Should scholars be thinking about inter-generational mass torts as a distinct subfield, perhaps not only including Agent Orange, but also DES? Will increasingly global mass tort litigation enable new claims based on the spraying of Agent Orange decades ago?

Lessons from Chevron: Stanford Journal of Complex Litigation Symposium
The Stanford Journal of Complex Litigation is hosting a symposium on the Chevron Litigation on February 8, 2013. Our own Howard Erichson will be speaking on the ethics of transnational litigation.
Here is a description:
The ongoing litigation between Chevron and the people of Lago Agrio, Ecuador regarding alleged environmental harms dating from Texaco's oil exploration and extraction in Ecuador now spans three continents and nearly twenty years; and concerns the largest judgment ever awarded in an environmental lawsuit, eighteen billion dollars. The litigation has been called both "a shakedown," and "a landmark victory," yet it continues to be litigated around the world and divide both the bar and the academy. What are the consequences of this case? With complex litigation becoming increasingly transnational, what general lessons can be drawn from this case? These questions are at the heart of SJCL's inaugural symposium.

Freer on The Supreme Court and Class Actions
Rich Freer (Emory) has posted a draft of his latest piece, The Supreme Court and the Class Action: Where We are and Where We Might be Going, on SSRN. Here's the abstract:
In 2010 and 2011, the Supreme Court decided five class action cases. In 2012, it has agreed to hear four more. This piece summarizes what the Court has done and where it appears to be going concerning aggregate litigation. The goal of this piece is more practical than theoretical: to place all nine cases in context and draw preliminary conclusions about the impact these cases have had and will have -- not only on class action practice, but in other areas, including the Erie Doctrine, waivers of class arbitration, anti-suit injunctions, the binding effect of judgments on class members, enforcement of Rule 10b-5, and the apparent efforts of defendants to front-load litigation by demanding greater consideration of merits-based facts (and qualification of experts) at the class certification stage.
The cases dealing with waivers of class arbitration implicate the role of the civil suit in law enforcement. If small (usually consumer) claims cannot be pursued on an aggregate basis, they may never be vindicated; individuals and lawyers will not find it economically feasible to do so. Yet the Court appears unwilling to recognize a public-policy exception to the primacy of contract. Thus, if the underlying contract waives aggregate litigation or arbitration, apparently this will not be trumped by the concern that the relevant law (often consumer protection laws) will not be enforced through civil litigation.

Engle's Progeny
On November 26 the Supreme Court denied cert in RJ Reynold Tobacco Co. v. Clay, an appeal from a Florida state court decision to give the Engle court ruling preclusion effect.
Engle, recall, is the tobacco issue class action certified and upheld by the Florida Supreme Court. Does the denial of cert pave the way for issues class actions to flourish (at least for the moment) or is this just not the right vehicle?

Lawyering for Groups symposium
On Friday, Nov. 30, Fordham Law School will host a symposium entitled Lawyering for Groups: Civil Rights, Mass Torts, and Everything in Between. Organized by Benjamin Zipursky and myself, the conference participants include Elise Boddie, Elizabeth Burch, Kristen Carpenter, Brian Fitzpatrick, Bruce Green, Samuel Issacharoff, Alexandra Lahav, Troy McKenzie, Nancy Moore, Russell Pearce, Theodore Rave and Eli Wald. It is co-sponsored by the Stein Center for Law and Ethics and by the Fordham Law Review, which will publish the papers.
As I read the authors' drafts in preparation for the symposium, I am struck by how difficult the fundamental questions remain. What does it mean, really, for a lawyer to represent a group of similarly situated claimants? Is it a bundle of individual lawyer-client relationships, or is it better understood in practice as a relationship between a lawyer and a group, with the primary duty owed to the group as a whole? Does class certification fundamentally change the nature of the representation, or in some cases is the class action better understood as an acknowledgement of the reality of mass representation and the imposition of a set of procedural protections?
I am struck, as well, by how these questions transcend any particular area of practice. The symposium grew out of Ben Zipursky's and my shared interest in the ethics of group lawyering. He and I have lectured to mass tort lawyers on ethics in mass tort litigation, as well as to civil rights lawyers on the ethics of civil rights litigation. Each area brings its own challenges, but the core questions about collective representation apply to both. Convinced that these issues deserve attention, we pulled together a group of proceduralists and ethicists with widely varying views on aggregate litigation and different areas of expertise. I'm looking forward to learning a lot. The agenda is here.

Halloween is just around the corner and there are still a lot of pumpkins in Anacortes and surrounding areas waiting to be transformed into art! Here are some tips on how to carve the perfect pumpkin:
- First and foremost…Please avoid accidents when working with children; you can never be too careful! They should be supervised at all times and more so when handling sharp objects.
- Choose a big pumpkin! The bigger the pumpkin, the easier it is to carve, especially when carving with little ones. Stay away from pumpkins with bruises or mold as they will spoil quickly. Bonus Tip: Lighter colored pumpkins tend to be easier to carve.
- Draw or print the pattern of choice on a piece of paper. This will help you visualize the final product and make changes before its too late. Use small scissors or a razor knife to cut out the areas you will be carving. This site has great templates! Click here
- Start carving! A serrated knife works best for carving pumpkins. Store bought pumpkin carving knifes are the best, but any serrated knife will work. It's easier to carve the hole at the bottom of the pumpkin rather than the top, plus it's safer to place the pumpkin over a light source rather than lowering the light (like a candle) into the pumpkin. Cut off any bumps so the pumpkin will sit evenly.
- Remove the seeds. An ice cream scoop is great for removing the pumpkin seeds. Don't throw them away! Toss the seeds in a bowl with melted butter and salt. Spread them on a baking sheet and bake for 45 min at 300 degrees. Voilà! Roasted pumpkin seeds.
- Prevent mold and dehydration. Cover the carved areas and interior of pumpkin with petroleum jelly. Another thing you can do is add a table spoon of bleach to a regular size (24oz-32oz) spray bottle filled with water. Spray the pumpkin daily with the bleach mixture.
A carved pumpkin will only last for a week at the most, so it's best to cut your pumpkin a few days before Halloween. Have fun decorating your home and have a safe and happy Halloween!

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Great school. Great leadership, however it's overcrowded just like most fairfax county schools. I think 29 students to 1 teacher is insane and it's just going to get more crowded. Dismissal is disorganized and they can have a better system in place. They should be more concern with student safety during pick up. We came from a school district were parents were issued car tags by the school with the names of the students who were being picked up. If don't have your pick tag on your dash board you needed to get one from the office. They would call the names of the students listed on the tag and ensured they got in the car. It was a smooth and quick process. I wish Mosby Woods did this. It's safer!
I was in this school before and it was horrible. The AAP teachers in grades 3 and 4 were horrible. I was bullied in both grades and I tried to tell the teacher, But guess what, as a student, I didn't even have the right to complain! Bullying is a big problem here and the teachers deserve to be fired. So may I recommend my new school, Oakton Elementary?-submitted by an ex-student
So i recently went to my 4th grader's year end music program at Mosby Woods. It's a year end program where all fourth grade classes put on a musical performance. I was amazed at how 100+ kids of all different backgrounds and levels of academic performance came together to put on an amazing performance that included song, dance musical instruments, choreography while tying in classical compositions, Virginia history and American history. Mosby Woods provides students with top notch academics and exposure to the Arts which you would not find in public schools. This year our children had a field trip to the Kennedy Center and were exposed to Opera at Nats Park. I love this school and will miss it when our kids move on.
This is an excellent school. Everything is so nice. The sixth grade teachers are always positive and they give good grades. This school feels so much like a private school. The staff and the kids are just excellent. Thanks Mosby Woods!
Our daughter started in kindergarten and is now in 2nd grade. All teachers we've seen so far are dedicated, keep good communication with parents and are really liked by the children. An incident when our daughter was teased by another student underscored the very prompt response from the school counselor, who made sure not only that the child is doing well, but also that parents were kept informed. We're excited to have our younger one starting in the same school in a couple of years. Highly recommended.
I don't care what anyone says, this school is the best I've ever been to.I'm in the AAP program, and I love it. I don't think the school focuses too much on their AAP program. Everyone gets an equal education. Reflecting on the teachers, the AAP program is overflowing, mostly in the third grade. All the FCPS schools are excellent, but I think mosby woods is one of the best.
Great school!!! It has a great AAP program and wonderful teachers. The school has such a diverse population. The students are from all over the world!!!! The Principal and VP are great. The school its self needs a bit of remodeling to boost the large amounts of creativity. The murals of the school are quite beautiful and really show the great work the students do in the fabulous school of Mosby Woods.
This school is the best! Compared to other schools like Providence, it seems as if 90% of students are happier here than at their previous schools. That is, if they transferred. The education techniques are a lot better than some that I have seen before. The teachers and students there are persistent. They never seem to give up on whatever they attempt at. Especially the teachers. They don't ever give up on a child, and they're very kind. I do believe that this school may be one the best schools for a child that there is in Fairfax City. There are many opportunities for students there, and even the Specials classes pushes them to do their best. They focus on and appreciate the diversity in the school. It's such a positive school. There seems to be little negativity amongst the students and staff. Although, I AM a student there. It may seem as if because I'm a student, that it would be a likely thing to speak of my school in this way. But it actually depends on the student's judgement of his/her environment, not on where they attend or take residence. I agree that they challenge the students. If it isn't challenging, then they do their best to give a new challenge.
Absolutely loved Mosby Woods! My son attended for 5th & 6th grade in the AAP program. The teachers on the team are absolutely amazing, and they really challenged their students. The principal is fantastic, is always present at ALL school functions, and really takes an interest in her school, teachers and students! The school itself neds a little bit of a facelift, but it certainly does not detract from the learning going on there!!
I am disappointed with Mosby Woods Elementary School. The school itself is old and still has carpet upstairs, which negatively affects my child's allergies and asthma. The web site does not begin to compare with other county schools' web sites and adminstration does not make use of the KIT (keep in touch) program which emails parents with relevant updates. The curriculum appears to be dumbed down and my child is not challenged. Perhaps there is too much concentration on diversity and not enough on learning for bright children.
The teachers are wonderful here! The diversity is also wonderful. You could not find a better school where all the kids have different backgrounds and learn to love everyone's differences right away! For a side note I also love how this school is tucked back in a neighborhood and not up along a major street keeping traffice down and safety easier.
The teachers are dedicated and responsive. The principal is respected and manages her staff well. The music, art, PE and computer programs are excellent. There are wonderful programs like International Night and two Family Dance events. The facility is new and well-kept, and tucked safely away from busy, noisy streets. And the community of parents is awesome. My children are having a great experience.
The Mosby Woods community, and particularly the education staff, are remarkable. I cannot speak highly enough of their efforts and abilities.
The school is ok, but could be better. We spent only one year at the school but can say that my child was not challenged by the work (too young for GT). There does not seem to be a lot of effort to teach kids at their level (at least compared to what I've read on this site about other schools in the area). Good but somewhat unresponsive administration. Diversity is wonderful and this of course is very beneficial to the kids. The art/computer/music classes are very good. There are a few parent organized activities offered after school as at other schools (language, science, drama) with varying quality.
My daughter joined Kindergarten last fall and I am impressed with this school. It is able to integrate students from diverse backgrounds and abilities in a way that ensures that all of them grow and learn to their best abilities. There are lots of activities for the kids and for parents who want to be involved. Great job by the Principal and staff!
The teachers are excellent. The school works to challenge every child. The diversity at this school is remarkable and they celebrate it.
Not the best school. My daughter was in advanced classes in Arlington, and when we moved to Fairfax, the school put her in regular classes, not GT or Honors, despite our repeated requests. Her SOL result dropped significantly. We are so disappointed with the teachers, the students and the environment, and now moving her to a private school.
Mosby Woods impressed us with its school leadership and high quality faculty and staff. Our daughter, who is only in kindergarten, had a very full year with an experienced and engaged class teacher who consistently offered fun and challenging learning activities. In addition, our daughter and her classmates loved working on the Smart Board, the class trips, and wonderful guest speakers that her class had. The school provides enriching art, computer lab, and music classes too. Finally, I really like the quiet, leafy residential location of the school as well.
This school is fantastic. My daughter is thriving and is excited about she's learning. The principal, Ms. Aste, is top notch and goes out of her way to make sure this school gets better each year. The art and music teachers deserve special recognition for their dedication and teaching methods. They're simply wonderful.
My daughter loves her school all of her teachers have been great and they truly care about their students. The principal & vice-principal also seem to be very involved and know the students well. Great activities for a very diverse school.

Familiar characters from A Journey by Chance are reintroduced in AFTER ALL THESE YEARS (3) by Sally John, a double romance filled with an abundance of the gospel. Reporter Anthony Ward visits Valley Oaks to do a feature on their famous Christian author. He never expects to encounter former love Isabel Mendoza—and God. Now that Isabel's back in his life again, can Tony follow through with his dubious plan or will love intervene? Lia Neuman's determined to be independent, but harassment isn't something she can handle on her own. But being thrown together with deputy sheriff Cal Huntington puts her on shaky ground. Will Lia run from Valley Oaks in fear, or will Cal be able to rescue her? The dialogue in this book doesn't always ring true; however, the suspense is believable with solid characterizations.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Outdated thinking horribly pervasive
Old views should die -- because they're stupid
A Manitoba judge says he's not sending a rapist to jail because his victim was wearing "suggestive attire" and engaging in "flirtatious behaviour" the night she was attacked.
It may not exactly have been her fault, reasoned Queen's Bench Justice Robert Dewar, but she didn't help matters by behaving provocatively while sporting a tube top.
And Jesus wept.
Kenneth Rhodes, rapist, won't be going to jail because Dewar feels the victim was sending him signals that he was going to get lucky. She was sending them, presumably, until she said no, meant it and then was sexually assaulted.
At that point it's moot what she was wearing, how many drinks she'd had or if she could tie a maraschino cherry stem in a knot with her tongue.
She said no and he raped her.
Kenneth Rhodes walked away with a two-year conditional sentence. He's free to remain in the community.
According to a Free Press story by Mike McIntyre, Dewar called the rapist a "clumsy Don Juan."
A guy who spills a glass of red wine on a first date because he's nervous is a clumsy Don Juan. A guy who rapes a woman is a criminal.
Dewar's decision, and his attempts to justify it, bring to mind the comments made by a Toronto police officer at a college recently. He suggested women avoid sexual assault by not dressing like sluts.
And then there's the Twitter response of Nir Rosen, a fellow at the NYU Center for Law and Security, to the news that CBS correspondent Lara Logan had been gang-raped and beaten in Egypt.
"Yes yes its wrong what happened to her. Of course. I don't support that," he tweeted. "But, it would have been funny if it happened to Anderson (Cooper), too."
And then this:
"Look, she was probably groped like thousands of other women, which is still wrong, but if it was worse than (sic) I'm sorry."
The victim was hospitalized when she was flown back to America. Rosen finally apologized.
In Scotland, the Conservative Convener of the Scottish Parliament's justice committee was forced to resign after comments he made about a series of rapes in Glasgow.
Bill Aitken implied the victim of a gang rape could have been a prostitute, and "the police say that there's a lot of drunken carry-ons that lead to rape allegations which are subsequently dropped, put it that way."
We're running the gamut of viciousness, stupidity and the 1950s view of acceptable behaviour for women. If you dress in a manner a man finds provocative, you're asking for it. If you're gang-raped, some knob can make fun of you on Twitter. And even if you clearly rape a woman, a little nudge, nudge, wink, wink will mitigate your sentence.
Lock up your daughters. This world's gone mad.
What all this tells women is they're not safe. If they're attacked, they are in some small way responsible. Rape is an under-reported crime because women and children already feel shame, already wonder if they couldn't have done something differently.
They're afraid they won't be believed and the stink will be on them.
Kenneth Rhodes' victim has got to be thinking that today. The judge found him guilty, but only sort of. He found her guilty, too.
If you're a young woman who goes to the bar with her friends on the weekends or an older one who likes to dance and have fun, this decision says you're putting the target on your own back.

Rhodes is supposed to write a letter of apology to his victim. What it's going to say: "I'm sorry your lips said no, no, no, because I was pretty sure your eyes said yes. My bad. Next time wear a bra!"

About Lindor Reynolds
National Newspaper Award winner Lindor Reynolds began work at the Free Press as a 17-year-old proofreader. It was a rough introduction to the news business.
Many years later, armed with a university education and a portfolio of published work, she was hired as a Free Press columnist. During her 20-plus years on the job she has written for every section in the paper, with the exception of Business. She'll get around to them some day.
Lindor has received considerable recognition for her writing. Her awards include the Will Rogers Humanitarian Award, the National Society of Newspaper Columnists' general interest award and the North American Travel Journalists Association top prize.
Her work on Internet luring led to an amendment to the Criminal Code of Canada and her coverage of the child welfare system prompted a change to Manitoba Child and Family Services Act to make the safety of children paramount.
She has earned three citations of merit for the Michener Award for Meritorious Public Service in Journalism and has been awarded a Distinguished Alumni commendation from the University of Winnipeg. Lindor was also named a YMCA/YWCA Woman of Distinction.
She is married with four daughters. If her house was on fire and the kids and dog were safe, she'd grab her passport.

NV Brut di Pinot Nero Rosé VS, Ruggeri(6x75cl)
Cherry red with salmon pink highlights and a finely textured, consistent mousse. The nose is fresh, fragrant and inviting, offering light red fruit aromas and hints of biscuity yeast. On the palate the wine is medium bodied and dry, but possessed of a ripe cranberry fruit intensity that balances the bubbles and the crisp finish beautifully.

Delicately fragrant, with hints of berry fruits, yeast and a faintly balsamic
undertone of considerable complexity.
NV Prosecco Extra Dry, Fiol(6x75cl)
Pale lemon colour with a typical bouquet reminiscent of wisteria flowers, acacia and also mature crab apple. Fresh, lively and appealing with slightly sweeter notes on the palate. This inviting Prosecco is the ideal sparkling wine to bring bubbles to your everyday life!

NV Saumur Brut, Domaine de Brizé(6x75cl)
A really superb sparkling Loire, dry but not aggressive, produced from Chenin Blanc in the small village of Martigne-Briand, close to the town of Saumur. The wine has a beautifully fragrant English late summer fruits bouquet (apples and pears) and is clean, fresh and lively on the palate, a great alternative to Champagne.
NV Prosecco Extra Dry, Fiol(4x1.5l)
Pale lemon colour with a typical bouquet reminiscent of wisteria flowers, acacia and also mature crab apple. Fresh, lively and appealing with slightly sweeter notes on the palate. This inviting Prosecco is the ideal sparkling wine to bring bubbles to your everyday life!

The palate is dry, delicate and balanced with fresh oyster shell and lemon like acidity. There is a distinct grapefruit pith character which is long and mineral that rounds out the complex palate. The creamy chardonnay character on the palate adds richness and polish. The taste grows considerably with great minerality and complexity with poise and focus.
NV Premium Sorbara, Cleto Chiarli(6x75cl)
Dry red wine with perfume of strawberries and wild berries.Fresh and elegant with a great lingering fruity character.
2010 Fitzrovia Cuvée Merret (Rosé), Ridgeview(6x75cl)

Nestled in Briar Bay at the intersection of Sandy Run and Berrington Ferry roads is a small wooden building known as the Praise House. Many longtime Riceboro residents have been attending services there for years. The Praise House was originally a one-room wooden structure, likely built decades before the Civil War. Not many records exist; most of the Praise House's history has been passed down in the form of stories from one generation to the next.
Pastor Marion Hardeman said he loves to teach the word of God and see people make positive changes in their lives.
Once, a simple little song was written and it told the story of how a goat got caught in a well. After many failed attempts to rescue the animal, a decision was made to just bury the old goat in the well and count it as a loss. However, the more dirt the farmer threw in the well, the more the old goat would just shake it off and pack it under its feet. Eventually, the goat climbed out.

So often these days we hear about teamwork and partnership. God said in Genesis that it is not good for man to be alone. In Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, we find some reasons for this. "Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up."

In 2013 we published our first anthology of short stories, Peak Voices. We are currently producing a second anthology called Peak Echoes. Watch this space!

I liked that my room was in the corner, right on the beach, services was good
The hotel for sure could use an update and a/c units . by my room being on the first floor there were was no screen for the sliding doors so bugs could get in if you decided to open the door to let the beach breeze in and also would loved some sheer curtain for privacy .
Bom 6.6
Right on the water and walking distance to everywhere. The staff seemed nice and the pool and hot tub was nice.
The place is really old in the rooms. It needs to be updated from like 20 yrs ago. For example, most tvs are now small flat screens. The hotel still uses the old tube tvs. The room just feels dirty because everything is so old. When we came into the room the trash from the previous guests was still there. Honestly, we got a cheap deal on it, but I probably would never stay here again.

The maintenance department needs authorization from management to do their jobs. The front desk area was extremely slippery due to all the sand on the tile floor. The railings on the second floor were absolutely filthy. Hadn't been wiped down recently (ever?). The bar did not have a bottle opener. The only one in the hotel had to stay at the front desk. The outside stairwells could use a good high pressure washing. The maintenance man actually thanked me for putting trash in the garbage can. He said most guests that stay there would have just thrown it on the ground.
The hotel is right on the beach. You can walk out of the restaurant and be right on the promenade. It is also at the heart of the downtown attractions. Parking was really convenient and there was plenty of space even on the weekend. The front desk staff was really nice and very accommodating. Because there is no air conditioning, we called and asked if there was a fan available. They brought us one within 10 minutes. The 24 hour pool was really nice too. The first day we swam it was freezing cold, but we later learned they had just refilled the pool. Later on our stay the pool was very cozy and comfortable. The steam room and sauna were nice as well. The bathroom was big, with a fan, and updated.
The pictures online were incredibly misleading. Most of the pictures are of the ocean front suites. We were in a regular room and it was tiny. The carpet was so old that I didn't feel like I could walk on it with bare feet. The TV was old and the channels weren't all in focus. The walls are super thing which meant we could hear everything outside our room. The hotel needs to be updated. This hotel doesn't have an air conditioner which adds to the quietness. We asked for a fan and they did bring us one, but it was covered in gunk and grime and something red/pink (koolaid?) had been dripped all over it. The maids left us new towels everyday even though we hung them up according to the recycling standard card and came at really weird times. Not that big of a deal, it just added to my frustration. The pool never had towels. I had to request them every time we went down. Not a big deal, just annoying.

If you need a clean, comfortable base to explore the coast, this is a terrific value.
You're not within walking distance of Seaside or any of its attractions, can't see the sea (much less reach it by foot), and it has no guest laundry - you have to visit the local laundromat.

I know it was not on the beach but thought we would have a good view of the ocean, not the parking lot in front of the beach! The ad say that we would have partial views but did not clarify that it overlooked a large parking lot.Easy walk to the beach and to Mo's for dinner. The tide pooling at Haystack rock was fun. Got to see some large starfish!

Eric Bledsoe (born December 9, 1989 in Birmingham, Alabama) is an American basketball player for the Los Angeles Clippers. He was selected by the Oklahoma City Thunder with the 18th overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft. He was regarded as one of the nation's top point guards while in high school.
Bledsoe played for one year at the University of Kentucky, averaging 11.3 points per game. Although he is primarily a point guard, he played mostly shooting guard for the 35–3 Wildcats.
On April 7, 2010, Bledsoe announced that he would forgo his final three seasons of collegiate eligibility and enter the 2010 NBA Draft. He was touted for his quickness, ball handling ability, and ability to hit the long ball. Bledsoe was picked 18th overall in the 2010 NBA Draft by the Oklahoma City Thunder but was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers.
