Dated: Melville, New York January 18, 2011 /s/ Daniella S. Golshani Daniella S. Golshani 2 2D · THURSDAY, JANUARY 6, 2011 · USA TODAY Cover story ‘Dreams’ dwells in landscape where author grew up Continued from 1D quiet self-reliance, tells the story that inspired her famous novel. One Sunday, the pastor of her church told Edwards the true story of a man who discovered in his 40s that he had a brother with Down syndrome who had been in an institution since birth. “I thought this would make a really good novel,” Edwards recalls while sipping peppermint tea, “but in the next heartbeat I thought, ‘I’ll never write that novel’ because I didn’t think the story was mine to write. I didn’t know anything about Down syndrome. I just didn’t feel that I would write it.” But Edwards couldn’t get the idea out of her head. “I remember being very struck by the secret at the center of the family,” Edwards recalls. “How even if no one knew the secret, the dynamics of the secret would influence the family for decades.” She thought about it for several years, and then her world collided with the one she would soon write about. “I was invited to do a writing workshop for a group of adults who had disabilities of various kinds, and it brought the idea to the surface again. I began to take the idea of a novel more seriously.” When she did begin writing, she says, the first chapter came quickly. After that, she was curious to find out what would happen in the story and plowed ahead. She hadn’t a clue it would become a publishing sensation. “I had no idea whatsoever,” she says. “I wrote it without a contract. I wrote it just because I wanted to write it.” Nothing, she says, could have prepared her for readers’ response. “It had been so exciting but distracting to think about this whole world who had read Memory Keeper’s Daughter.” But success hasn’t changed her. The modest home in a middleclass Lexington suburb where she and her family have lived for more than a decade does not reflect her financial success. It’s decorated simply, accented by artifacts she and her husband collected during the five years they spent teaching English in Malaysia, Japan and Cambodia in the Edwards’ debut was a keeper The Memory Keeper’s Daughter was one of the big publishing success stories of the 2000s: By Chrisi Reardon, Lifetime Television Bereft mother: Gretchen Mol plays Norah, whose husband secretly gives away their baby, in Lifetime’s The Memory Keeper’s Daughter. 1990s after she completed her graduate work in linguistics. They run errands and transport their daughters to afterschool activities in a Toyota Prius. Their most recent “splurge” was having the basement refinished. Even though she had published an award-winning short story collection, The Secrets of the Fire King, in 1997, it was Memory Keeper’s that brought her fame. Paperback marvel Published in hardcover in 2005, it sold a healthy but modest 60,000 copies. It became a huge best seller in paperback a year later, thanks to a perfect alignment of publishing strategies: Penguin’s aggressive promotional campaign — they marketed it as if it were a new hardcover novel, not just a pa- perback reprint — and energetic hand-selling by booksellers, especially independents. The staff at the Blue Willow Bookshop in Houston, for example, was so enthusiastic they decorated their display window with a gauzy, white baby dress superimposed over a black background — just like the haunting cover of the book. Fervent fans told friends and family about the remarkable novel and the tragic secret at its center. The book also became, and still is, a book club staple. It was Edwards’ storytelling prowess that gave the book its punch. “We all have secrets. We’ve all kept secrets. We’ve had secrets kept from us and we know how that feels,” Edwards says. “It’s a universal experience that connected with people.” Music Eminem has all the moves Rapper is No. 7 in all-time sales and best-selling artist of decade Eminem: His Recovery was 2010’s top album, too.

And Edwards is greeted warmly by the store’s booksellers when she stops in for a visit. “There are people who will come in specifically for The Memory Keeper’s Daughter, but we also get lots of customers who come in just looking for something good to read,” Raby says, “and Kim’s book is one of those that we recommend to customers consistently.

The Lake of Dreams, designated a January 2011 Indie Next List Great Reads by independent booksellers, is rooted in small part in a novel Edwards began before The Memory Keeper’s Daughter, then tucked away after numerous drafts left her feeling it was going nowhere. When she returned to it years later, the novel took on a new life. “After Memory Keeper’s Daughter, it took me a few months to shut out the world,” Edwards recalls. “I really had to turn off the Internet and sort of cloister myself away from the world again and sink into that psychic space to write again. “I love Memor y Keeper’s Daughter, but in some ways I think The Lake of Dreams is a stronger book,” Edwards says. “I was able to tell the story I wanted to tell. That’s all you can ever do as a writer. From there on you have no control over it.” So far, reviews have been mostly favorable. Library Journal wrote that The Lake of Dreams lacks “the melodramatic sizzle of its predecessor” but Booklist calls it “a powerful story,” and Kathryn Popoff of Borders think it’s “captivating.” Cheryl McKeon of Rakestraw Books in Danville, Calif., says she likes The Lake of Dreams more than The Memor y Keeper’s Daughter. “I absolutely loved it.” Edwards will hear what her fans have to say this month. She’s in the first week of an 18-stop cross-country tour. (She appears in Brookline, Mass., tonight.) After a visit to Joseph-Beth bookstore and then a drive through Lexington’s downtown, Edwards is perched on a turquoise-colored stool at Wheeler Pharmacy’s circa-1960 lunch counter. She’s drinking Ale-8One, a soft drink made in Kentucky. It’s a chilly winter day and one of her last moments of relaxation before the tour begins. Pressed for what will happen post-tour, Edwards says she has an idea for a new novel, but she’s not ready to talk about it. “I do have a sense of the next book,” she says, “but I’m taking a break. I really want to be able to enjoy whatever happens to The Lake of Dreams.” NOTICES By Edna Gundersen USA TODAY Eminem, the best-selling artist of the past decade, also moves up three slots to No. 7 on the list of biggest product movers in the SoundScan era. The rapper has sold 39.6 million albums since 1999, according to year-end data released Wednesday by Nielsen SoundScan. Garth Brooks still holds history’s top spot with 68.5 million, followed by The Beatles with 62.1 million. With 53.1 million, Mariah Carey is fourth, then Metallica (52.7 million), Celine Dion (51.2 million) and George Strait (42.4 million). Given the prolific young acts on 2010’s list, the historical ranking could shift dramatically in a few years. Then again, The Beatles continue to demonstrate uncanny sales clout 40 years after splitting. u4.1 million copies have been sold. uThe paperback reprint hit No. 1 on USA TODAY’s BestSelling Books list five times in August and September 2006. (The 2005 hardcover did not make the list.) uThe paperback spent 118 weeks in the Top 150. uIn an unusual move, USA TODAY named the paperback edition its 2006 book of the year because of its phenomenal popularity. We cautioned readers: “Prepare for tearblotched pages and a redemptive, hopeful ending that makes the tears easier to bear.” uLifetime TV released a movie version in 2008 starring Dermot Mulroney, Gretchen Mol and Emily Watson. modern classic.” And those who understand the story because of personal experience have embraced it, too. “Kim did a wonderful job depicting Phoebe as a delightful child and young woman,” says Eileen Miot of Paris, Ky., a huge fan of the book, whose 3-year-old daughter, Marie-Claire, has Down syndrome. But it’s the love at the center of the story, she says, that has made it universally popular. “It’s the deeper story, the love story,” Miot says. “Everybody understands a story about love and missing out on love.” Edwards tells a very different tale in The Lake of Dreams. It’s the story of Lucy Jarrett, who returns to her hometown of Lake of Dreams after her mother is injured in a minor car accident. Lucy had fled Lake of Dreams a decade before, after her father’s death by drowning. Her visit becomes a search for resolution from the heartbreak she suffered after her father’s death, as well as a detective story when she discovers old letters in her mother’s house. They lead her to investigate what happened to the letter writer, Rose, her great-grandfather’s suffragette sister who was forced to give up her illegitimate daughter. The fictional town in which the novel is set is located in the Finger Lakes Region of New York state, where Edwards grew up. “I knew the lakes well,” says Edwards who shows a visitor a tiny, painted Asian bowl that holds pieces of shale she gathered on a Finger Lakes beach more than a decade ago. The bowl sits on her writing desk and was an inspiration during the creation of The Lake of Dreams. “One of the pleasures of writing the book,” she says, “was to be able to dwell in that landscape in my imagination again. It’s very beautiful.” (in millions) Taylor Swift ....................................................... 34.3 Black Eyed Peas ............................................... 33.8 Rihanna .............................................................. 33.7 Eminem ............................................................. 33.3 Lady Gaga .......................................................... 29.3 Kanye West ....................................................... 25.3 Beyoncé .............................................................. 25.1 Nickelback ........................................................ 23.9 Michael Jackson ............................................. 23.2 Katy Perry ......................................................... 22.6 UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK In re: Chapter 11 TERRESTAR NETWORKS Case No. 1015446 (SHL) INC., et al.,1 Jointly Administered Debtors.

PUBLICATION NOTICE 200960464/: Potomac Electric Power Company (Pepco) has applied to install a 52-mile 500 kV electric transmission line from Possum Point in Virginia to Chalk Point in Prince George’s County, Maryland, as part of the initial phase of the Mid-Atlantic Power Pathway (MAPP) project, a 150-mile transmission line extending from Possum Point to Calvert County, under the Chesapeake Bay, and across the lower Eastern Shore to Indian River, Delaware. The purpose of the first phase of MAPP is to add a second circuit to existing structures within Pepco right-of-way and to construct new towers to support the second circuit across the Potomac River. The project will permanently impact 117.852 acres of nontidal forested wetlands through tree clearing activities, temporarily impact 60.023 acres of nontidal emergent wetlands through mat placement, and will impact 30.934 acres of the nontidal wetland buffer. Temporary bridging will impact 350 linear feet (0.350 acres) of waterways and 0.083 acres of the 100-year floodplain, and 11.307 acres of the 100year floodplain will be disturbed through clearing activities. The applicant proposes to mitigate for permanent impacts through off-site mitigation.

In Germany, it’s higher than at any point since the country’s reunification two decades ago, despite the euro zone’s welldocumented debt miseries. Commodities, which underpinned the sputtering Canadian recovery, also seem to be roaring back. Oil hit a two-year high on Friday, and demand in such markets as China and Brazil is at record levels. Natural gas demand in the U.S. is also shooting up. In the stock market, the hottest category is consumer discretionary – the stuff you may covet, but stop buying when times get tough. The S&P’s index of such stocks, which includes car companies, media heavyweights and retailers like McDonald’s and Home Depot, has soared nearly 23 per cent this year. There are still more than enough trouble spots to temper the enthusiasm, particularly in the still depressed U.S. housing sector. And some surprisingly downbeat U.S. job numbers on Friday, as well as a distressing drop in Canadian private sector employment, sent a few shivers through the markets. But fears of the dreaded double-dip recession have receded; and investors, both amateurs and pros, are becoming increasingly bullish about equities. So if the stock market retains its oft-touted role as a leading predictor of where the economy is headed in the next six to nine months, 2011 ought to shape up as a much better year than the nabobs of negativism would have us believe. But the market has been wrong plenty of times before, as veterans like renowned U.S. money manager Rob Arnott can attest. “I’m not terribly optimistic about 2011,” declares Mr. Arnott, But if we do have a recession [in 2011], it won’t be inflationary, and it will create bargains in the hedges that we need in our portfolios, because people will take their eye off the inflation ball. Rob Arnott Research Affiliates chairman chairman of Research Affiliates in Newport Beach, Calif. The stock market has almost certainly got ahead of itself, he says, putting the odds of another recession in the U.S. at better than 50 per cent. “What we have is $1-trillion of stimulus buying a half-trillion dollars of economic recovery. And that’s not a very good deal.” And in Europe, the odds of the debt crisis deepening also run higher than 50-50. “It’s the bankrupt looking to be bailed out by the near-bankrupt. That’s not a formula for success.” He concedes that U.S. corporate profits will hold up reasonably well in the coming year. But they are destined to disappoint the market by falling well short of expectations. “What’s interesting is that investors expect lofty earnings growth when earnings are already high. And they expect anemic growth when earnings have been savaged.” The reverse tends to be the case. Stock prices, Mr. Arnott argues, tend to peak roughly at the time the earnings growth rate peaks, rather than the actual earnings LEGALS themselves. In other words, if profits still rise in 2011, but at a slower pace than this year, it spells bad news for the market. “A lot of folks think I’m a purveyor of doom and gloom,” he says. Gee, I wonder where he got that idea. Mr. Arnott is best known in investing circles as an architect of fundamental indexing, which assigns weightings to stocks based on measures of economic success, including sales, profits and dividends. It ignores market capitalizations, the basis of traditional indexes. He is also known as a shrewd prospector for opportunities in a wide range of global investments. Which explains why he does not advocate sitting on the sidelines until the cloud of confusion dissipates. “There’s a whole array of relatively low-risk investments that are interesting,” he says. This is a good time, for instance, for investors to consider adding a third pillar to their portfolios, alongside the traditional stocks and bonds. The third pillar would be designed primarily to offset the risks of inflation, whose arrival in our midst he believes is only a matter of time. The obvious choices would include inflation-linked [real return] bonds and broadly diversified commodities, but also, surprisingly, emerging-market stocks and bonds. “Emerging markets are a wonderful hedge against a reflationary world,” says Mr. Arnott, who acknowledges some of these potential hedges are not exactly inexpensive. “But if we do have a recession [in 2011], it won’t be inflationary, and it will create bargains in the hedges that we need in our portfolios, because people will take their eye off the inflation ball.” Renewed turmoil in financial and debt markets called a ‘severe downside risk’ to recovery ..................................................................................................................................... JAN STRUPCZEWSKI, BRUSSELS ................................................................ The euro zone should have a bigger rescue fund for member states in trouble, and the European Central Bank should boost its bond buying to prevent the sovereign debt crisis from derailing economic recovery, an IMF report says. International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn will present the report on the economy of the 16 countries using the euro at a meeting on Monday of euro zone finance ministers and European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet. “The recovery could still stay the course, but this scenario could now easily be derailed by the renewed financial market turmoil,” the IMF report said. “The sovereign and financial market storm affecting the periphery [of the euro zone] constitutes a severe downside risk.” The IMF will tell the ministers that while last week’s €85-billion ($114-billion) joint EU/IMF rescue package for Ireland and a permanent mechanism for crisis resolution are welcome, they are not enough. The document said euro zone rescue funds “should be deployed for countries undertaking strong adjustment but remaining under market pressure, using sufficient liquidity support to cope with uncertain market responses so as to minimize costs from market risks and contagion.” It was not clear from the document whether this meant the IMF was advocating euro zone help to Portugal, whose borrowing costs have risen sharply on market concern over its high debt and low growth, but which has passed an austerity budget for 2011. “There is also a strong case for increasing the resources available for this safety net and making their use more flexible, including for the purpose of providing more effective support to banking systems,” the report said. The euro zone, together with the IMF, now has a fund totalling €750-billion to help governments cut off from being able to borrow on financial markets, in exchange for fiscal austerity and reforms. But economists and some policy makers believe that should more euro zone countries, such as Portugal, Spain or even Italy, be forced to seek EU financial help, the fund would be too small. To prevent borrowing costs of such countries from rising too high, the ECB has been buying their bonds on the secondary market, but the purchases have been moderate compared with similar moves in the U.S. The IMF report will be discussed at length at the euro zone finance ministers’ meeting on Monday, a euro zone source said, along with the current situation on debt markets. ................................................................
