NEW YORK (AP) — After a three-month break, attorneys for J.C. Penney Co. and Macy's Inc. squared off in a New York court Thursday as they presented closing arguments in a contract dispute case centered on their partnership with home maven Martha Stewart.
Mark Epstein, one of the lead attorneys representing Penney, told New York State Supreme Court Judge Jeffrey Oing that if Macy's wanted to prevent others from selling goods in its exclusive categories like pots and bath items, it should have written a better contract.
And Theodore Grossman, who represents Macy's, said Penney was using any excuse to hide the reality that it intentionally interfered with Macy's contract with Martha Stewart when it signed a merchandising deal in December 2011.
"It's been a long trial. But what it comes down to is a poorly written contract," argued Epstein. "Time has come to put an end to this case."
Grossman argued that Penney, based in Plano, Texas, aggressively induced Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia to breach the contract and that the contract is clear that Macy's has the right to all the designs created by the home maven in the exclusive categories, not just specific products.
"J.C. Penney knew exactly what it was doing when it entered into the contract," said Grossman. "Their intention was to harm Macy's."
Oing promised he would make a ruling on whether Macy's has exclusive rights to sell certain merchandise including bed, bath and kitchenware items "soon," but he said it wouldn't be Friday. The decision would cap a closely watched trial that began in February but continued in fits and starts because of vacation schedules and other interruptions. At one point, Oing even ordered the parties into mediation in March, but that was unsuccessful.
The trial featured testimony from Macy's CEO Terry Lundgren, former Penney CEO Ron Johnson, and Martha Stewart herself. Johnson appeared on the stand just a month before he was fired as Penney CEO, 17 months into his tenure.
Cincinnati-based Macy's Inc. sued Penney and Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc. for violating an exclusive deal between the home maven and Macy's when Penney signed its own agreement with Stewart in 2011.
Macy's is suing Penney for what it believes was intentional interference with Macy's contract with Martha Stewart. It is seeking not only to block Penney from opening mini boutiques filled with Martha Stewart-branded goods in certain categories, but also to prevent it from selling designs created by Martha Stewart that do not carry her name. The company also seeks monetary damages.
One of the loopholes Martha Stewart and Penney have focused on is a provision in the contract that allows Martha Stewart to sell goods covered by the exclusive pact in Martha Stewart Living's own stores. Penney and Martha Stewart have argued that since the Macy's contract does not specify that the stores have to be stand-alone, the mini shops within Penney aren't barred by the exclusivity agreement.
"That definition that Macy's wrote just stinks," Epstein argued.
The stakes are high for all three players, but particularly for Penney, which has been counting on a revamped home area launched this spring to help it rebound from a disastrous year. The company amassed nearly a billion dollars in losses and its revenue dropped 25 percent for the fiscal year that ended Feb. 2 as a transformation plan spearheaded by Johnson built around a new pricing and merchandising strategy failed. Losses and sales drops continued into the first quarter, as the shadow of Johnson's legacy remained.
Penney's board brought back its CEO Mike Ullman who has reintroduced frequent sales events and basic merchandise that Johnson eliminated in a failed bid to attract trendier, wealthier customers. But while traffic is improving, analysts believe business is still slow. Even the home area, which was Johnson's project and features a slew of trendy new names like Jonathan Adler and Michael Graves, has failed to resonate with shoppers, analysts say.
A new round of worries about Penney's financial situation cropped up Wednesday after a report that CIT Group Inc., the largest lender in the clothing industry, has stopped providing financial support to small and large suppliers selling to Penney stores for now. Penney said that the report was untrue and that CIT backed shipments for less than 4 percent of its merchandise anyway.
In July 2012, Macy's won a preliminary injunction against Martha Stewart Living that would prevent it from selling Martha Stewart-branded housewares and other exclusive products at Penney. A month later, the judge granted permission for Penney to open Martha Stewart shops as long as the items under exclusive contract with Macy's are not sold.
Penney went ahead and ordered goods designed by Martha Stewart in the exclusive categories but sidestepped the preliminary ruling by labeling them JCP Everyday. Macy's tried to get the judge to halt the sale of the JCP Everyday goods until he made his final ruling, but he declined and allowed Penney to sell the goods that were already made.
The JCP Everyday collection hit the stores in May. As part of the final ruling, Oing will decide whether Macy's contract does cover exclusivity in designs even if the items don't carry the Martha Stewart name.
Penney is carrying Martha Stewart-branded items in party supplies and window treatments, areas not covered by Macy's contract.

General Comments: Futures were a little higher yesterday after trading both sides of unchanged. Ideas of big supplies, mostly from Brazil, keep the selling alive. Some support came from news that Colombia Coffee farmers will not deliver as they seek higher prices for crops and some support came from even more reports of severe rust damage in Central America. Reports of rust in Central America and the production cuts that it are still in the press, and rust is now reported in Peru. Central America could lose at least 20% of the total crop this year. Losses next year could be 30% or more of the crop. Current crop development is still good this year in Brazil, and production areas are getting drier weather for the developing crop. There is some talk the drier weather could stress trees. Production ideas remain big there. Vietnam producers there talk about the potential for 25% crop losses due to prolonged drought in the Central Highlands. Central America crops are mostly harvested. Colombia is reported to have good conditions.
Overnight News: Certified stocks are higher today and are about 2.709 million bags. The ICO composite price is now 131.69 ct/lb. Brazil should get mostly dry weather. Temperatures will average near to above normal. Colombia should get scattered showers, and Central America and Mexico should get mostly dry conditions. Temperatures should average near to above normal. ICE said that 0 contracts were delivered today against March futures and that total deliveries for the month are 108 contracts.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed. Support is at 137.00, 134.00, and 131.00 May, and resistance is at 145.00, 147.00, and 149.00 May. Trends in London are mixed. Support is at 2080, 2070, and 2040 May, and resistance is at 2130, 2140, and 2170 May. Trends in Sao Paulo are mixed. Support is at 177.00, 174.00, and 171.00 September, and resistance is at 183.00, 185.00, and 187.00 September.
General Comments: Futures closed a little higher. Chart trends in London and New York are now mixed. Big supplies of Sugarcane and Raw Sugar keep price trends in check, and the market remains in a sideways trend even though trends are trying to turn up. Production has been strong in Brazil so far this year, and reports say that the new crop production looks to be strong as well, so the diversion into more domestic ethanol use will help offset increased sugarcane production. Exports from Brazil continue to be very strong. Exports from other countries are said to be less than expected, but the Brazil offer keeps futures from doing much these days.
Overnight News: Mostly dry weather expected in Brazil. Temperatures should be near to above normal.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed. Support is at 1790, 1770, and 1740 May, and resistance is at 1860, 1875, and 1900 May. Trends in London are mixed. Support is at 513.00, 512.00, and 506.00 May, and resistance is at 520.00, 523.00, and 527.00 May.
General Comments: Futures closed lower in consolidation trading. New York was the leader on the downside as the US Dollar moved higher. Market trends are still down overall, but futures are within about 100 dollars of a potential swing low based on the charts. Ideas are that current low prices should créate new demand and that the main crop harvest is over in Western Africa and much of Asia so that supplies on offer could also be less. The weather is forecast to be warm and dry in West Africa this week. For now, traders expect good mid crop production from West Africa. Malaysia and Indonesia crops appear to be in good condition and weather is called favorable. Traders are starting to look ahead and past the midcrop harvest and note that the market could move to a production déficit next year. More buying is being noted in deferred months at this time due to smaller production ideas for the coming crops.
Overnight News: Mostly dry conditions are expected in West Africa. Temperatures will average above normal. Malaysia and Indonesia should see episodes of scattered showers, but Malaysia will be drier this weekend. Temperatures should average near normal. Brazil will get scattered showers and warm temperatures. ICE said that 0 contracts were delivered today against March contracts and that total deliveries for the month are now 826 contracts. ICE certified stocks are lower today at 4.363 million bags.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are down with objectives of 2050, 2020, and 1990 May. Support is at 2050, 2020, and 2000 May, with resistance at 2100, 2110, and 2130 May. Trends in London are down with objectives of 1390 and 1365 May. Support is at 1360, 1330, and 1300 May, with resistance at 1405, 1435, and 1450 May.

Today's Meditation
Read Proverbs 4:20-27
Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you.
- Proverbs 4:25 (NRSV)
When I was a small boy, I wanted to learn to ride a bicycle. One of the happiest days of my life was when my older brother said he would teach me, using his bicycle. But I was shorter than he, and my feet did not reach the bike's pedals when they were at the bottom. Finally, I managed to get out on the street, where my brother told me to always look ahead, not down at my feet. But I spent much of my time looking down, trying to keep my feet on the pedals. Not long after I began my ride, I tumbled into a roadside vendor, knocking her over and spilling her basket of water nuts. I learned the value of looking ahead!
Looking ahead is important also in our spiritual life. We can easily get stuck focusing on our inabilities, hindrances, and shortcomings both in our work and our personal lives. But the writer of Proverbs shows us the way out: "Let your eyes look directly forward." Many times as I have lifted my head and focused on the Lord in prayer, I have been able to move on through the rugged times in my life.
I finally learned to ride a bicycle simply by looking ahead and knowing that the pedals would come up on their own to reach my feet. In the spiritual life we can do the same, trusting that what we need will come in time as we keep looking ahead, following Christ who leads us.
Claudius Kashi Tewari
(Uttar Pradesh, India)
Thought for the Day: Our focus determines whether we are moving closer to God or farther away.
Prayer: Dear Lord, help us to focus on your way as we make our spiritual journey. Do not allow us to fall on the roadside. Keep us alert, always with our eyes looking forward. Amen.

Stuff Happens
Written by David Hare
Directed by Daniel Sullivan
Showing at the Public Theater through June 25
425 Lafayette Avenue
(212 239-6200, www.publictheater.org)
Michal Daniel
Peter Francis James as Colin Powell and Jay O. Sanders as President George W. Bush, in David Hares searing Stuff Happens, now at the Public Theater through June 25.
Taking a closer look at all that Iraq stuff
By Steven Snyder
The political furor surrounding Americas ongoing involvement in Iraq has reached a stalemate. Just as critics point to the administrations dishonest case for going to war in the first place and its poor, if not nonexistent, post-war plan, supporters say the past is the past, and the present is the present. Regardless of how we got here, they say, we need to stick it out.
Into this deadlock arrives David Hares Stuff Happens, a play that defiantly proclaims that there is value in discussing just how the hell we, as American citizens, let things get this far.
Four times during the play, in particularly inventive asides, Hare drives home this point. As the action grinds to halt and the lights facing the audience turn on, the production engages the audience directly as a single orator dares us to weigh in on the issue. The two sides of the audience, who up to this point have been watching the play unfold in the middle of the theater, are now looking at each other while a character tells them how they should think about the Iraq situation.
The past is suddenly interrupted with the present, and the intrusion awakens our sense of skepticism and bewilderment. These segments, presenting the perspectives of the neo-conservatives, the Europeans, the Iraqis and the Israelis and Palestinians which Hare clearly sees as the more pressing Middle East crisis look the audience squarely in the eye and ask what we think. And it is these moments that elevate Stuff Happens to something far more than a historical drama.
Given how technical much of this dialogue is, Hare, as well as director Daniel Sullivan, deserve praise for how lively and involving it all plays. The majority of the script which is on sale in the lobby of the Public Theater and has been nominated for several awards including a Drama Desk Award for outstanding play rapidly reconnects the dots, from the Bush Administrations first days in office through its unrelenting push for war after the horrors of Sept. 11.
Sure, part of the appeal of Stuff Happens are the caricatures it offers with remarkable detail Jay O. Sanders bumbling Bush, Gloria Reubens eerily effective, polished Condi, and Peter Francis James frustrated, isolated and irate Colin Powell but this is not merely an exercise in mimicry. Rather, Hare wants to recreate both the pieces and the puzzle, using real speeches, private conferences and behind-closed-doors personal meetings to show how the ripple effects of this relentless drive towards Baghdad grew into tidal waves that affected the entire globe.
The title comes from a Donald Rumsfeld speech, in which he says that in a war, stuff happens. But the play, which hangs its anger almost exclusively on real speeches, statements and quotes, is an attempt to cut to the core of what allowed this stuff to start happening in the first place. It is a real life drama allowed to play out for us with the dots connected, the spin scrutinized by facts, and the jingoism of this administration tempered by the incredulity of an audience that probably should have been paying more attention before. Seated in the Public Theater, we agreed to get off the couch, take off the iPod, turn off the cell phone and really think about whats been going on. Once that happens, the fog surrounding Iraq parts, and clarity comes quickly.

While we wait for Day Two of the Obamacare argument at the Supreme Court, let's take a detour for the moment to acknowledge what I am certain is going to be regarded as one of the most significant books about the Constitution of our time—a book that will have long shelf life among legal academics and people serious about understanding the Constitution: it's Michael Greve's The Upside-Down Constitution, just out from Harvard University Press.
Michael is my colleague four doors down the hall from me at AEI, but I'd say this about his book even if he didn't have a bulls-eye target taped to my office door right now. His argument is rich and counterintuitive, and therefore seemingly esoteric as it travels grooves well outside the typical "originalism" versus "activist" axis of most conservative analysis of constitutionalism. He thinks we've got our understanding of federalism and "states' rights" all backwards—the point of the Founders' federalism was to ensure competition between the states and therefore to protect interstate commerce from raids by state interests. But many of today's simpleminded states' rights views actually have the opposite effect.
Fortunately, I don't have to labor through a summary of the book, because Ramesh Ponnuru (one of my guests tomorrow on the Bill Bennett show) has a splendid summary and review of the book in the latest issue of National Review, and it's available online. It is well worth your time to read the whole thing, especially if you don't have time to read Michael's challenging book, but here's Ramesh's worthy conclusion about this worthy book:
If there is to be a recovery of the Constitution's federalism, it will involve a retreat by the federal courts from the culture wars and, simultaneously, a renewed commitment by them to policing the boundaries of state authority over national commerce. A precondition for any such recovery is the conservative intellectual reorientation that Greve is attempting to advance. Thoughtful conservatives understand, as he notes, that the free market is not the same thing as "the opportunistic demands of the Fortune 500." They ought to begin distinguishing as well between federalism and the desires of state governments.

PlanetCCRMA@Home Installation
Installing PlanetCCRMA on your PC is not quite a labor of love, but it does take some attention. Most are coming to this process with a Windows Installation currently on their PC, so we'll take that assumption here. Questions?
You can have both Windows and Linux installed on your system using a technique called Dual Boot, which means at boot time you can choose which operating system you boot into.
Backup Your Data
You must have a backup of your data! What kind? The answer to this question will do it... "To what extent should I backup my data such that if I lose my current partition and my data is lost, will I not have an emotional reaction?" This answer to this question and what you choose to do about it is entirely your responsibility.
Here are some helpful links for Windows users:
Establish a Disk Partition
You will also need ~10Gb of unpartitioned free space. If you have only a single Windows partition on your PC, this may mean that you will need to resize this partition to make this free space. You can do this in one of two ways:
gparted (free)
gparted LiveCD
You can download this ISO Image, make your own LiveCD, and make the partition adjustments or we have several LiveCD's in SysAdmin that you can borrow and use. We can help you, too.
Partition Magic (not free)
PlanetCCRMA@Home Homepage
If you want to get this going on your own, you can visit this page:
This page will walk you through how to install PlanetCCRMA. The first step is to install Fedora Linux on your system then PlanetCCRMA-lize it.

Body Image and the Physical Side Effects of Being HIV+
By B. Osten
August 3, 2012
Being gay in the mid-'80s, body image was a priority. Working out at the gym was not just a regimen, it was a lifestyle. Looking good for Gay Pride was the ultimate goal. Back then, it was far less commercial and more of a social event for the LGBT community. A sense of belonging and emancipation from the stigma of AIDS. A safe haven for at least one weekend out of the year.
My partner and myself are a dying breed (pardon the pun). Throwbacks from the '80s. Our fashion changes with the times, but our muscular physiques somewhat remain the same. We both take pride in our appearance and work hard at it. We still enjoy taking our shirts off while dancing at clubs and Gay Pride events.
While dancing with my partner at this year's West Hollywood Gay Pride, someone behind us speaking in a loud enough voice for us to hear, commenting on our (slight, but evident) buffalo humps to his companion. Knowing that they themselves were probably HIV+ from the telltale signs of lipodystrophy, we stood our ground. Now, whether it was intentional or not for us to hear, we didn't allow it to bring us down and continued to have a wonderful time dancing the night away with our shirts left off.
My partner and myself are far from being vain. We are only trying to age gracefully. But, it's a constant struggle to maintain somewhat of a seamless body image. It's becoming more and more difficult not to be publicly picked out of the crowd because of the physical side effects of the virus and HIV meds.
Go figure, just when I'm finally at a place in my life where I'm comfortable in my own skin. How ironic is that?

Positive Thinking
B. Osten
I've been living with HIV for 26 years. I volunteer at various AIDS organizations in my community in the day. At night I like to spend my time at the observatory. I couldn't tell you the names of all the planets offhand, or what a black hole is for sure. But, there isn't a day that goes by I haven't looked up at the night sky and thanked my lucky stars I'm still alive to enjoy it.

I am going to a formal event, but I would like to wear pants. Can you give advic
When you're looking for a fancy, formal outfit centered on pants, most people immediately think of a tuxedo-which can be incredibly elegant (see YSL's Le Smoking for reference)-but I actually have a different suggestion: a jumpsuit! There are so many flattering and sophisticated jumpsuits on the market right now, ranging from slim, long-sleeve iterations to feminine, one-shoulder styles to understated, sleeveless options perfect for the minimalists out there. If you pick something that's pretty sleek, you'll definitely be dressed up enough for the occasion. From there, you can accessorize with equally chic shoes, like pointy pumps in black patent leather, or you can add some glamour with black and gold platforms, crystal-embellished sandals, or something that's a little glittery. Finally, add some sparkle via a stunning clutch in champagne or light bronze and some statement earrings. You can wear an exaggerated stud or drop earring; either option will add a touch of femininity and personality to your final look!

Healthy push subtle as a sledgehammer
CANCER Council Queensland hoped the State Government's move to fund a three-year public health campaign would be effective in curbing the alarming overweight and obesity rates in Australia.
The controversial messages of the campaign are based on Western Australia's Live Lighter campaign which features graphic images similar to those used in anti-smoking and road safety messages.
Cancer Council Queensland's Katie Clift said a new approach was needed. "This is the first campaign of its kind designed to reach all Queenslanders and encourage greater awareness of healthy weight.
"Clearly the softer tactics to move people toward healthier lifestyles have not been working as well as we hoped."
She said hopefully a campaign like this could make a difference.
Health Minister Lawrence Springborg said the campaign would prove controversial, but the existing approach had failed.
He said some people wouldn't like it - but then some people didn't like the anti-smoking messages and they didn't like the road safety campaign.

Christoffer writes: "By this release, the 1.1 branch of Emilda is decleared stable and thus we encourage users to upgrade to this version. Main changes involve straightening issues with library management, such as circulation and book-adding, HTML optimisations, small cosmetic & logical updates and other minor bugfixes. For more information on Emilda in general, the Emilda Demo or this release in particular, please visit the project page."
Christoffer writes: "Realnode Ltd has been working for the last year intesively on an OS-library management system which now has reached the stage to be introduced to the OS-community. The project goes under the name Emilda. It features amongst others a full featured OPAC, Circulation and administration tools, label creation tools, Z39.50 tools and 100% MARC compatibilty. MARC compatibility is achieved by storing all information about biblios in MARC and accessing them using the Zebra server from Indexdata. For more information on Emilda, please visit the project page."
Koha 2.0.0pre3
paul writes: "A new version of Koha, the 1st Free software ILS has just been released, and is avaible here. This version of Koha is still in the "unstable" directory, because some bugs are still reported. But it's fully useable and used in (at least) 3 libraries in "real world". The next version should/might be the 2.0.0RC1. The only missing features are a migration tool for libraries already using Koha1.2.x, and an automated upgrading tool for future version. It's possible to upgrade manually. More than 40 bugfixes and improvements. See on sourceforge."
Pat writes: "This release adds a lot of bugfixes (thanks to everyone who's helped!), a first cut at z3950 support, and a script for migration from other ILSs. This release also marks a feature freeze pending the 2.0.0 release. 1.9.3 requires a newer version of MARC::Record than previous versions of Koha. Please make sure you're running MARC::Record 1.26. We've also made a few more tweaks to the Database Schema. If you've already installed an earlier version of Koha, you will need to update your DB to reflect these. 1.9.3 is a beta level release; it is not intended for production use. If you are evaluating, testing, or playing with 1.9.3 for any reason, please help us make it better by reporting bugs on bugs.koha.org. Feel free to fix them too. As always, Koha is available at sourceforge."
from fm, changes include: "The database tables have been restructured to conform more to the MARC21 object model. Bibliography holds, member late fee and account, member checkout history, reports, and labels have been added." Find it at the forge.
Paul writes: "a new "unstable" version has been released. It fixes 20+ bugs and adds minor functionnalities. Go to sourceforge
for more information."
Paul writes: "This new version is really close from the stable 2.0 version. What's new: standard acquisition and MARC cataloguing now both useable at the same time; MANY bugfixes; almost everything now templated, a few admin scripts still to template; inclusion of some pictures to say "add", "modify", "delete" in many places; the koha-html cvs tree is now UNUSED, and no mode included in this release. The koha cvs project contains everything. TODO: z39.50 support - a port from the 1.2.x z39.50 support needs to be done; should be quick; fixing bugs - if you find a bug in this version, please take the plane and go for a trip to bugs.koha.org. Feature freeze is there... only z39.50 will be added until 2.0RC1, which should be the next release!
Known bugs *IMPORTANT*: koha does NOT work with MARC::Record 1.12. It works fine with MARC::Record 0.93, and maybe with other versions; repeated subfields in MARC/iso2709 works poorly; in the MARC search, the "not" flag does not work; en and fr are the only languages well supported in this version. Other translator teams are waiting for more stable templates."
PhpMyBibli improved
Fran�ois writes: "Due to the incoming of new developpers, PhpMyBibli (a free library automation system) is now on the right track to become fully functionnal. Jesir Vargas from Puerto Rico has almost completely translate the whole thing in english and spanish and is at the point to finish the portuguese translation. Eric Robert from France did a great job on UNIMARC integration. UNIMARC import is now working fairly, even the 995 field that is crucial for french small libraries. Lots of bugs have been corrected and the code was cleaned in a drastic way by the time we were rearranging the database structure to improve its reliability and speed. We are coding the loan-module to reach version 1.0 during spring." A demo version is available at sourceforge.
Paul writes: "koha 1.9.0 was born a few minutes ago. His parents, the koha-team, are very proud of this almost-stable children. This version includes: dozens of bugfixes; the MARC acquisition part is now completly stable, and used in production in France since december; templating almost ended; translations now available : french (almost finished), chinese, spanish, and polish; circulation now works; non ISO-5589-1 support (for chinese and polish); improvements in marc import in breeding farm; first draft of search in MARC-DB; librarian interface demo (please note that by default this site should be in FRENCH. If you modify parameters, don't forget to put fr again in systemprefs!) Next version planned is 1.9.1."
Fran�ois writes: "This is an announcement for a free (GPL) library automated system based on PHP and MySQL. PhpMyBibli (still in french, sorry...), still in development phase, aims to provide a convenient and easy to use interface for the librarian and the library's public featuring: UNIMARC support (and maybe various flavour of MARC), authorities management, administration made easy for the librarian, advanced OPAC functions : collection browsing, etc...)."

Building a compelling Facebook fan page is one thing. Creating consistent engagement is a whole other skill.
In this post, my intent is to bring to light several areas you may be overlooking that are causing your fan page to either plateau or not get off the ground much at all. To know more about Facebook engagement, check out this two-part post here and here.
The News Feed
Many businesses set up a Facebook fan page and look to their fan growth rate as the primary success metric. But number of fans isn't really the full story. You need to track and measure how much your fans are actually consuming, engaging with and sharing your content.

Will the European Union step in at the last minute and rescue the Doha Development Round? That was the buzz in Washington as the WTO approached its July 31 deadline for wrapping up a Doha agreement.
Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., the chairman of the Senate Committee on Agriculture Nutrition and Forestry, appears to have started the speculation by issuing a statement about a possible breakthrough on July 21.
"Yesterday, I was informed by administration officials that the European Union is prepared to make a market access proposal to cut tariffs significantly above the G-20 offer with limited protection for sensitive products. This is welcome news and the type of serious proposal we've been waiting for.
"This could mean the Europeans are finally willing to be full participants in the negotiations and will help trade ministers make significant progress this weekend."
A tariff-cutting proposal above the G-20 developing countries' offer would mean a reduction of at least 55 percent. The latter would not match the U.S. demand for 66 percent but is a long way from the previous EU offer of 39 percent.
The statement also implies the European Union would back away from exempting 8 percent to 10 percent of its tariff lines as sensitive products, special products and special safeguards for agriculture, the three Ss U.S. negotiators have criticized.
As Chambliss issued his statement, U.S. negotiators were headed back to Geneva for one more attempt to try to conclude the negotiations. The G-6 — the United States, European Union, Australia, Brazil, India and Japan — were scheduled to meet July 23 and 24 and again on July 28 and 29.
During the G-8 Summit in St. Petersburg, July 17-18, President Bush said the United States was prepared to make more cuts in farm subsidies. But U.S. Trade Representative Susan Schwab told reporters "the U.S. will be more flexible on domestic support when we see more flexibility on market access from our trading partners."
EU officials have accused the United States of proposing "phantom" cuts in its farm subsidies, changes that would actually allow the U.S. government to increase its so-called amber box spending ceiling from $19.1 billion to $22 billion. U.S. negotiators have said those claims are "ridiculous."
They contend the 60 percent cut in their proposal would reduce actual U.S. amber box spending from $15 billion to $16 billion a year to $7.6 billion, resulting in a 10 percent cut in marketing loan rates and a 4 percent to 6 percent drop in target prices.
World trade agreements have a history of being brought back from the dead, often after U.S. officials have given up the farm on issues such as the $19.1 billion amber box ceiling in the Uruguay Round, which took from 1986 to 1994 to complete.
The other day a friend asked me why the European Union, Brazil and other countries always assume that the United States is in the wrong whenever we get into these trade negotiations? Maybe this time will be different.

Chronicle of the Newspaper Death Foretold
The newspaper industry knew it was doomed 30 years ago.
A good three decades before the newspaper industry began blaming its declining fortunes on the Web, the iPod, and game machines, it knew it was in huge trouble. In the mid-1970s, two of its trade associations (which have since merged)—the American Newspaper Publishers Association and the Newspaper Advertising Bureau—sought to diagnose the causes of tumbling newspaper readership since the mid-1960s and recommend remedies.
The associations formed the Newspaper Readership Project, which sociologist/marketing specialist Leo Bogart helped direct. Bogart's 1991 book, Preserving the Press: How Daily Newspapers Mobilized to Keep Their Readers, portrays an industry that knew exactly what ailed it but refused to adapt to a shifting marketplace. Change a few dates and a few names in a couple chapters from Preserving the Press, and you could republish the whole thing as "breaking news."
Bogart and the project rat out the usual guilty parties for falling circulation—radio and television. But they also cite city-to-suburb migration (and the distribution difficulties caused by metro sprawl), growing transience that prevents people from establishing roots that in turn nurture the newspaper habit, and changes in work and commuting patterns, as well as the flaccid editorial product in many markets.
The ideas ultimately advanced by the Newspaper Readership Project were so universally accepted that Los Angeles Times media reporter David Shaw was already filing a preview of its findings and recommendations in a Page One Nov. 26, 1976, feature. In the lede to "Newspapers Challenged as Never Before," Shaw asks:
Are you now holding an endangered species in your hands?
At the time of Shaw's extinction warning, the number of U.S. households and the combined circulation of all daily newspapers was almost at par—about 70 million households versus 60 million in circulation. Today, the number of U.S. households exceeds 100 million, but daily circulation is flat or down a couple million from the 1970s.
Shaw quotes Times Publisher Otis Chandler saying that he doubts the Times—or any other metro daily—is "really essential" to even 50 percent of its readers, something even the most depressed publisher working today would never say. And remember, the Los Angeles Times of that era was a circulation lion.
The solutions proposed by Preserving the Press and Shaw's article read like the standard prescriptions written today: Make an attempt to "reconnect" with readers, who feel alienated from newspapers. Make coverage more local. Hook kids when they're young. Let readers "sound off" about issues on special pages of the paper. Connect with and hire minorities. Expand the weather report. Introduce or expand op-ed pages. Spice up the design and print more color. Run more lifestyle, consumer, and personal-finance articles. Chase potential readers—and advertisers—into the deep suburbs.
Is there a metropolitan newspaper that hasn't taken all of this medicine? Is there one that isn't taking maintenance doses of these meds today? And yet newspaper circulation continues to dribble down.
Shaw reports that newspaper people thought the increases in leisure time would benefit their industry. To a degree, that played out, especially when readers devoted themselves to fat Sunday papers. But as societal wealth increased, Shaw writes, many readers found they could afford other leisure pursuits they found more compelling than reading the news and completing the crossword puzzle: travel, watching movies on VCRs, dining out, making long-distance phone calls, groovin' to a Walkman, and recreational shopping.
Fresh thinking about what ails newspapers arrived in yesterday's (Nov. 29) Wall Street Journal, where staffer William M. Bulkeley contributed a column titled "The Internet Allows Consumers to Trim Wasteful Purchases." Bulkeley explains how the photographic film industry, encyclopedia publishers, the music industry, and the advertising industry feasted on buyers by forcing them to purchase things they didn't want—prints of all 24 shots from their camera or a whole album to secure one favorite song, for example. "The business models required customers to pay for detritus to get the good stuff," Bulkeley writes. But digital cameras, the Web, iTunes, and search-related advertising have stripped those industries of their power to charge for detritus.
Bulkeley could have easily applied the wisdom of his lesson more broadly to newspapers. It's not that the complete gestalt of local, state, national, and international news plus sports, comics, classified, opinion, and hints on fashion, home, entertainment, and food isn't still useful. It is. But given a choice, and the economic means to make a choice, many buyers prefer to make an unbundled purchase. Unbundling the news they want from the news they don't want is what the Web allows readers to do now.
For decades, newspapers—and other media—prospered by exploiting what former hedge-fund manager Andy Kessler calls EPILIT, which is short for Entertainment (or Editorial) and Perishable Information Leading Indirectly to a Transaction. The model works to the media moguls' advantage, he writes, as long as the number of distribution "pipes" (newspapers, TV networks, radio stations, cable channels, phone lines, etc.) can be controlled. When anybody can join the EPILIT party—exactly what the Web encourages—the monopoly profits enjoyed by media moguls suffer. And make no mistake about it, American newspaper publishers sucked every available dollar out of their advertisers and readers when they occupied the commanding heights.
Kessler's cheeky essay from October, "Media 2.Uh-Oh," predicts that because nobody will be able to control the pipes in the future the way they once did, all the media markets will be in play and remain in play for some time. The turmoil experienced most acutely by the newspaper and music industries has now spread to the television industry, which is cutting costs and restructuring. (See this story about the collapse of the 11 p.m. news ratings in Washington, D.C.)
If you agree with me that the newspaper business has been on a slow, unstoppable train ride to hell for many decades and that the Web has only accelerated its descent, then you'll enjoy another article in yesterday's Wall Street Journal.
"Buy This Newspaper!" by editorial-page staffer Holman W. Jenkins Jr. (sorry, only the first paragraph is on the Web) regards Jack Welch's offer to buy the Boston Globe, the coming breakup of the Tribune Co., and Wall Street's snipping at the New York Times Co. as "straws in the breeze" portending a time when newspaper companies stop trimming page size and get rid of paper pages altogether for the Web.
What's preventing anybody from going first, of course, is the $45 billion ad market that generates profit margins of up to 20 percent, Jenkins writes. Yes, newspaper Web advertising is growing, but not fast enough to cover the declines in print advertising. A paper gets about one-tenth or one-twentieth the advertising revenue for a Web reader as it does a print reader, he notes.
To thrive, news companies need to convince advertisers to pay much higher rates for readers who "value their time at tens or hundreds of dollars an hour lingering on newspaper Web sites for perhaps half an hour everyday, and they're not just channel flicking. They're engaged," Jenkins writes. As I've written before, people may be giving up the newspaper habit, but their appetite for news is growing. The 1.1 million circulation for the print New York Times served 25 million unique readers in April via its Web site, according to the company's own logs.
I'm not the type to predict the future, if only because I'm so bad at it. But print editions of newspapers, which saw the endgame coming 30 years ago and did everything they could to forestall it, need to figure out what they're best at and double down in those realms. To give one example, if newspapers think they're in the editorial business, the slimming of the business pages at most dailies indicates that the standard business section is doomed and the copy should be folded into the rest of the paper to make room for a section the masses really want to read. Sports sections that refuse to retool themselves as the smart supplement to ESPN can kiss their pages goodbye.
If newspapers think they're primarily in the advertising business, they could take Mark Cuban's sharp advice from this week and redeploy their ad staffs to broker Web advertising wherever they can find a place for it, not just on their own Web sites. What they'll probably do instead is form a new intra-industry Newspaper Readership Project.

Container gardening is booming across the country. Up until recently the large-sized container of choice has been the half whiskey barrel. However, whiskey barrels are heavy when filled with soil and they eventually rot.
Enter the BetterBarrel. Made from 100 percent recycled, thick-walled, UV-resistant plastic, the BetterBarrel is so tough it's backed by a 20-year warranty. The solid construction and leak-proof nature complements the natural, non-fading color. Rusted metal bands give the BetterBarrel the look of a whiskey barrel without any of the problems. Better Barrels are 1/3 the weight of wooden whiskey barrels, so they are easier to move around.

FMW Fasteners has one of most delightfully silly Twitter feeds I've ever seen. The Houston-based maker of screws, bolts and other construction products finds delight in the mundane. "Tamper Resistant Insert Bits are here! Be still my beating heart!" it tweeted last month under the little-used hashtag #FastenerExcitement. Earlier, it tweeted a photo of a pallet of product awaiting shipment with the caption: "Get out there and be free little fasteners! Fly away!" New channels are releasing long-bottled-up creativity. It turns out neither "b" in b-to-b stands for "boring." Cisco Systems hired Tim Washer, co-creator of IBM Corp.'s hilarious "Mainframe: Art of the Sale" video series, to bring his comic genius to its YouTube channel. One of Washer's brainstorms was to take the company's most rugged router and subject it to an assortment of creative abuses, including ejection from a second-story balcony. You'd never think of doing such a thing, which is why it's funny. And naturally, the device starts up without a hitch. A lot of b-to-b marketers think customers expect to be bored, which is why humor is so effective. Buyers are people, too, and laughter is the best icebreaker. If you don't believe me, check out any b-to-b online community, where the "water cooler" section is almost always the most active focal point. Here are some tips (you can Google the examples):
Laugh at yourself. Pick the most serious part of your business and make fun of it. That was the secret of "Art of the Sale."
Shift context. Kinaxis reimagined a vendor-customer relationship as a love triangle in its clever "New Kinexions" video series. Envision a customer support call done in rap or haiku.
Disrupt expectations. Verisign's "Cart Whisperer" starts like a familiar animal rescue documentary, then whipsaws us when we learn that the target is an abandoned shopping cart. Washer calls this the "sharp left turn" approach. Set expectations and then veer off in an entirely different direction.
Exaggerate. The iPhone 5 has a bigger screen, but what if it was a lot bigger? Take that idea to an extreme and you've got "A Taller Change," which skewers product launch clichés. What aspect of your business would be funny if you made it bigger, louder or purple?
Poke fun at pain. What drives your audience nuts? Clueless customers? Endless meetings? Absurd deadlines? All are fertile areas for humor when you apply the four previous principles.
Be silly. Buried in a recent eVoice customer survey was this question: "Which assistant would get the ax if your business started using a virtual phone system?" The winner was Erin, receptionist in "The Office." Why not?
Search for "Top 10 B2B Comedy Videos" for more of Washer's favorites.

You've all seen top 10 lists of the best traits of a project manager or the top 10 skills of a project manager. However, project management is not for everyone. Many people have some of the traits to be a good project manager, but they also have many traits that make them a bad fit for the position.Here's my list of indications that you may not be well suited to be a project manager. Note: These are not in any ranked order.
Note: This information is also available as a PDF download.
#1: You are a poor communicator
It is said that more than 50% of a project manager's time is spent in some aspect of communication. This includes meetings, status reporting, e-mails, phone calls, coordinating, talking to people, and completing documentation. Some studies have shown that verbal and written communication takes up 80% of the job. If you are not an effective communicator (and you don't care to be), don't go down this path.
#2: You don't work well with people
If you prefer to stay in your office and focus on your own work, you probably don't have the collaborative ability to be a good project manager. Good project managers need to spend a lot of time with clients, stakeholders, and team members.
#3: You prefer the details
Many people like to work on the project details. We need people like that. But when you are a project manager, you must rise above the details and become more of a delegator and coordinator. You must rely on others for much of the detailed work when you are a project manager.
#4: You don't like to manage people
You don't have much of a project if you're the only resource. If you want to be a good project manager, you need to be able to manage people. You will not have 100% responsibility for people, but you will need to show leadership, hold them accountable, manage conflict, etc. Some project managers say they could do a much better job if they did not have to deal with people. If that's how you feel, project management is probably not for you.
#5: You don't like to follow processes
Yes, I know no one wants to be a slave of processes. But you need good processes to be effective as your projects get larger. If you don't want to follow good project management processes, you are not going to get too far as a manager.
#6: You don't like to document things
Of course, all things in moderation. I am not proposing that you have to love documenting to be a good project manager. But you can't hate it, either. Many aspects of project management require some documentation, including status reporting, communication plans, scope changes, and Project Charters.
#7: You like to execute and not plan
When a client gives you a project, what is your first inclination? If your first thought is to get a team together to start executing the work, you probably don't have a project management mindset. If you do not want to spend the appropriate amount of time to make sure you understand what you are doing, you are probably not cut out to be a project manager.
#8: You prefer to be an order taker
If you think your job is to take orders from the customer and execute them, you may not be a good project manager. Project managers need to provide value on a project, including pushing back when the client is asking for things that are not right. If the client raises a request that is out of scope, you also need to invoke the scope change management process. If your reaction to scope change is saying, "Yes sir, we'll do it" instead of going through the scope change management process, project manage is going to be a struggle for you.
#9: You are not organized
People who have poor personal organization skills and techniques usually do not make good project managers. If you're going to manage multiple people over a period of time, you need to be well organized to make sure that everyone is doing what he or she needs to do as efficiently as possible.
#10: You think project management is "overhead"
No one can feel good about their job if they think the work they perform is not value-added. Good project managers understand the value of their work, and they understand their work will result in a project coming in on time and on budget with a good experience for the client and the project team. If you think the work associated with project management is overhead and non value-added, you're probably not the right person to be a project manager yourself.

Cowboys take South Carolina LB with final pick
Cowboys take South Carolina LB with final pick
Apr. 27, 2013
IRVING, Texas (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys have taken South Carolina linebacker DeVonte Holloman in the sixth round of the NFL draft.
The Cowboys took Holloman with the 185th overall selection Saturday, their last pick of the draft. Dallas traded its seventh-round choice to Miami last year.
Holloman started more games at strong safety than linebacker in four years with the Gamecocks. He was an outside linebacker as a senior, finishing fourth on the team with 57 tackles and leading South Carolina with three interceptions.
The 6-foot-1, 246-pound Holloman was the first pick in the defensive front seven for Dallas, which is switching to the 4-3 this year.
