In her lawsuit, Ono alleged Seaman violated the confidentiality agreement by publishing a memoir titled The Last Days of John Lennon: A Personal Memoir. She also claims he profited by stealing mementos of the late ex-Beatle and selling them to collectors.
The suit demands that Seaman surrender the rights to 374 photos he took of the Lennon family, turn over about $US75,000 ($A138,000) from the sale of the rock icon's papers and pay unspecified damages.
Seaman contends he is the rightful owner of the photos because he took them on his own time and with his own camera.
Ono and Seaman have feuded since Lennon's 1980 slaying outside his Central Park West apartment building.
In 1983, Seaman pleaded guilty to second-degree larceny for stealing Lennon's diaries; he was sentenced to five years probation and ordered to return the property. Seaman said he has returned all the items; Ono said he returned only some of them.
On the final day of testimony yesterday, Ono laid claim to a family photo at the centre of the dispute with her former assistant.
The photo of Lennon with their son, Sean, at a Bermuda beach in 1980, showed "John was a person," Ono told jurors. "He was not just an artist, but a family man and a dad."

It is quite common for computer users to experience spikes in CPU usage. Usually it is due to the genuine load of computer applications on the computer resources and the reason is legitimate. On the other hand, if you notice a constant high usage of CPU, it means that there is some problem with your computer.
You can easily track CPU usage by accessing Windows Task Manager. This tool can be viewed by pressing Ctrl, Alt, Delete simultaneously. It also has a Performance tab where you can monitor CPU usage history. In case the history graphs show a trend of high usage then you need to rectify this problem.
Here are some of the common issues that are known to cause high CPU consumption:
Malware Infection
Several types of malware including virus, trojans and spyware are known to attack the CPU resources of your system. By far, malware is the single largest reason behind high CPU consumption. They create havoc on your system by launching destructive or useless processes that hog CPU resources and render your system virtually inoperable.

Matriarch of San Antonio restaurant family slain
Published 7:00 pm, Thursday, April 24, 2008
Associated Press Writer
Police arrested a suspect Friday in the slaying of the 76-year-old matriarch of a San Antonio restaurant family who was found dead inside her burning home.
Authorities said they're filing a capital murder charge against an 18-year-old neighbor of Viola Barrios, who ran the city's popular Los Barrios and La Hacienda de los Barrios eateries. Joe Estrada was arrested overnight, police said.
"He admitted that there was no one else involved in this murder and that it was he and only he who broke in and committed the crime," Police Chief William McManus said.
McManus wouldn't speculate on how Barrios died, pending a report from the medical examiner.
McManus said a neighbor called 911 Thursday morning to report that Barrios' silver Mercedes was not parked in its usual spot and that someone was near the car. When police arrived, the person was gone.
Later Thursday, another person called police to say that they saw someone driving Barrios' car. The car was later found at an apartment complex.
Authorities said the house was intentionally set on fire. McManus said credit cards also were stolen from the house and used.
"The motive was burglary and yes, I guess you could say it was bungled," McManus said.
Police first brought Estrada in for questioning, then released him and got an arrest warrant. Bexar County District Attorney Susan Reed said Estrada was to be charged with capital murder.
"As of right now I'd like to go string this guy up myself," Reed said, adding that seeking the death penalty is a possibility.
It was not clear whether Estrada had a lawyer. His bond was set at $1 million. There was no answer at a phone listing for an Estrada on the same street as Barrios' home. As he was put in a police car outside police headquarters Friday morning, Estrada didn't directly answer questions about the crime.
Barrios, who immigrated to the U.S. from Mexico as a girl, started Los Barrios as a young widow in 1979, hoping to support her three children. For nearly 30 years she worked seven days a week, making tortillas and enchiladas and managing the restaurant that became one of San Antonio's best-known. Eventually she opened a second restaurant, La Hacienda de los Barrios.
"She was a burden reliever," said her son, Louis Barrios. "She wasn't a burden maker."
Louis Barrios said funeral arrangements were pending and that family planned to start a foundation, Viola's Huge Heart.
Early next month Viola Barrios was set to move out her modest home to a large estate in a gated community.
"My mother was targeted because of her success," Louis Barrios said.
Yolanda Arellano, executive director of the San Antonio Restaurant Association, said Barrios will be inducted into the Texas Restaurant Association's Hall of Honor in June.
"She is the epitome of the American dream," Arellano said. "She started with $3,000. She made it a point to visit customers. She had this warmth about her."
Arellano said Viola Barrios had often appeared on local and national morning news and talk shows. She had a cameo when her daughter, Diana Barrios Trevino, appeared on a Food Network episode of "Throwdown with Bobby Flay" to cook puffy tacos, Arellano said.
Diana Barrios Trevino wrote a cookbook of her mother's recipes, "Los Barrios Family Cookbook: Tex-Mex Recipes from the Heart of San Antonio."

Gold prices touched new all-time high of Rs 32,500 per 10 grams in the bullion market in Mumbai on Monday on seasonal demand amid strong global trend.
Gold, which has been on a record setting spree for the past three weeks, rose by Rs 50 to Rs 32,500 per 10 grams.
Traders said sentiment in gold remained bullish as the metal rose to near six-month high in global markets on speculations that central banks from the US and China would bring in more stimulus measures to revive economic growth, raising demand outlook for the precious metal.
In New York, the yellow metal surged by $34 to $1,734.30 an ounce
in the previous session.
Also, sustained buying by stockists to meet the wedding season demand further fulled the uptrend.
On the domestic front, gold of 99.9 and 99.5 per cent purity advanced by Rs 50 each to Rs 32,500 and Rs 32,300 per 10 grams, respectively.
Sovereign shot up by Rs 200 to Rs 25,500 per piece of eight grams.
Silver prices, however, remained flat.
Silver ready held steady at Rs 61,800 per kg on restricted buying by industrial units and coin makers, while weekly-based delivery rose by Rs 235 to Rs 64,230 per kg on speculators' support.
Silver coins continued to be asked around previous level of Rs 77,000 for buying and Rs 78,000 for selling of 100 pieces.

When Cat + Zane invited us to shoot their wedding on the Bellarine Peninsula we were beyond thrilled. Two years ago we didn't even know the Bellarine existed…but photography leads you to all sorts of weird and wonderful places, and it's hands down one of the most beautiful places we've ever been in Australia – a cross between Cape Cod and those gorgeous rugged coastal areas you see scattered around the bay in Melbourne.
Cat and Zane were married in the Geelong Botanical Gardens (seriously Geelong, you are full of surprises!) and held their intimate reception at Jack Rabbit Winery, and as you'll soon see, they are both beautiful people inside and out.
So much so, that at times it felt like we were shooting the wedding of a Hemsworth brother to a supermodel…so it brought tears to our eyes when we were chatting to Zane's mum during the reception who confided that when he still lived at home, Zane would never come home from a night out with friends without coming into her room first for a cuddle and to tell her all the goss from the evening.
And Cat, all elegance and class, admitted to us she kept waiting for Zane to show a rougher or less sensitive side – yet it never appeared. They are two of the biggest sweethearts we have ever met, and we couldn't have been more blessed to capture their picture perfect day. Oh, and their dog also blew our minds! Seriously, is that dog real?!!
We didn't think anything could top Cat's flawless Collette Dinnigan gown…until a helicopter pilot friend of the couple organised a chopper to fly them into their reception! It was SO Hollywood! I don't think any of us will ever forget the roar of the chopper as it came into view and looped over the venue with Cat and Zane waving from the window. The looks on their guest's faces was priceless…
We couldn't think of a more perfect wedding to end the year on, and we hope it gets you in the mood for a spectacular festive season wherever and however you may be spending it.
We cannot wait to see you all back in 2014, where our most exciting year at Love Katie + Sarah awaits. It will be a thrill to share it with you all.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support this year, and the hugest of thanks especially to all our beautiful 2013 couples who rocked our world and thanked us with gestures from mentioning us in their speeches to sending us home with anything from hand made preserves to cases of beer (we're looking at you, Dave!). It truly has touched our hearts and we will be remembering these acts of kindness as we see in the new year.
Love Katie + Sarah xo

The Broncos made it through 14 games with its offensive line intact, yet they began preparations Wednesday for Sunday's game against Buffalo without two starters.
Left tackle Ryan Clady missed practice with an ankle injury suffered in the final minutes of Sunday's loss to Carolina, while right guard Chris Kuper was held out because of a broken bone in his left hand.
But the Broncos remain hopeful both players will be able to take the field against the Bills. The Broncos would clinch the AFC West and a playoff berth with a victory.
"It's just sore," Clady said. "I should be able to play."
Kuper, who broke the second metacarpal in his left hand, had a soft cast similar to the one he wore throughout training camp, when he broke a bone in his right hand. In that case, the hand was completely covered during games.
If Kuper and Clady are cleared to practice this week, they likely will play.
"We'll find out over the next couple of days," coach Mike Shanahan said.
Rookies Kory Lichtensteiger (guard) and Tyler Polumbus (tackle) are listed behind Kuper and Clady on the depth chart.
"We have dealt with it all year long with injuries, offensive and defensively," quarterback Jay Cutler said. "We will see how they are at the end of the week and evaluate them. Hopefully, we can have them."
Wide receiver Brandon Stokley missed practice because of a heel bruise, and safety Vernon Fox was held out because of a concussion.
Stokley injured the heel against Kansas City two weeks ago but played against Carolina. Stokley said all he can do is rest and ice the injury.
"It's in a tough spot for me as a receiver because I use it in and out of my breaks, and I plant on it," Stokley said.
Smith to be feted.
The Broncos will honor wide receiver Rod Smith at a halftime ceremony as part of the team's Fan Appreciation Day.
Smith formally retired in July as the leading receiver in franchise history (11,389 yards).
Smith frequently has been on the sideline for Broncos games this season. He was the team's honorary captain at the home opener.
Team surprised by Clady's Pro Bowl snub.
Denver center Casey Wiegmann and cornerback Champ Bailey were named alternates at their positions for the Pro Bowl, but one player who certainly will not be joining Cutler and receiver Brandon Marshall in Hawaii is Clady.
Teammates and coaches were surprised Clady didn't receive enough votes to be an alternate.
Clady has started 14 games and allowed only half a sack despite playing against some of the NFL's best pass rushers, including Atlanta's John Abraham and Carolina's Julius Peppers.
"I just know Ryan Clady has had a heck of a year, and we have a bunch of players that have played exceptionally well," Shanahan said.
Shanahan mentioned rookie receiver Eddie Royal as a player who deserved more Pro Bowl consideration.
"There are a bunch of guys that were close, and will have a good chance in the next year or two," Shanahan said.

Companies are under more pressure than ever to "beat by a penny," but you don't need to be a forensic accountant to uncover where the spin ends and the truth begins. With the help of a powerhouse team of authors, you can avoid losing a chunk of your portfolio when the next overhyped growth stock fails by knowing What's Behind the Numbers?
Investing experts John Del Vecchio and Tom Jacobs mix a potent combination of earnings quality analysis, long-side investing, and short-side portfolio risk management to help you create a long-short portfolio with less volatility and greater returns, while avoiding landmine stocks that will blow a hole in your financial security.
First, the authors explain the practical side of financial analysis. They demystify widely held assumptions about stock performance, expected returns, earnings quality, and short sellers. Then they comb the financial statements to find the places where companies hide poor earnings quality. Finally, they provide the value and special situations investing to pair with the short-side thinking and offer a tactical manual for applying what you've learned in the technical, day-to-day world of portfolio management.
Armed with this wealth-saving guide, you can confidently trade based on clear data-not the aggressive accounting tactics companies use to make their numbers look better than they are. Better still, it helps you start protecting yourself right away with:
The next time a company goes south, you can be the successful investor who knew What's Behind the Numbers?
©2013 John Del Vecchio and Tom Jacobs (P)2014 Tom Jacobs
"At Crazy Eddie, we succeeded in perpetrating our financial fraud for many years because most Wall Street analysts and investors took for granted the integrity of our reported numbers. What's Behind the Numbers? teaches investors to critically look under the surface and spot red flags that could help them avoid potential losses from fraudulent companies like Crazy Eddie." (Sam E. Antar, former Crazy Eddie CFO and convicted felon)
"I know of no other book that better teaches the reader how to determine earnings quality at a company, so you can avoid large losses on stocks you would otherwise own, and score profits by going short. Not only that, this book teaches you how to grow wealth with small-cap stocks in a way that would make value deity Ben Graham proud. . . . Essential for any investor." (Jeff Fischer, Portfolio Manager, Motley Fool Pro and Motley Fool Options)
"Under [Del Vecchio and Jacobs's] tutelage, forensic accounting is reduced to Math 101. We learn how to employ the metrics they use to expose financial chicanery in companies, to unearth the best short sales, and to protect ourselves from owning those stocks most likely to blow up and wreak havoc on your portfolio. Read What's Behind the Numbers? so you can keep your portfolio clear of ticking stock bombs. (Jeffrey A. Hirsch, Chief Market Strategist, Magnet Æ Fund Fund, and Editor-in-Chief, Stock & Commodity Trader's Almanacs)
"Wow! A must-read for anyone who thinks they know how to make money in the stock markets! Del Vecchio and Jacobs forced me to confront the stark reality of What's Behind the Numbers? It isn't pretty…. One of the best books on investing I have read in years." (Tom Meredith, former Chief Financial Officer of Dell Inc., venture capitalist)
"This work will be a sought-after reference book among investment managers and analysts for years to come."-Janet J. Mangano, CFA Institute's Financial Analysts Journal)
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"A CPA rates this book 5-stars"
Let's face it - this is not light reading. There is no romance involved nor is there a murder mystery to be solved. And the future of the planet is not threatened by the theories presented.
But - and you knew there was a 'but' - the book contains a heavy dose of lying, cheating, swindling and stealing --------- and it's all legal. Yes, this book details the ways accounting statements may be manipulated by companies to present the very best picture of its financial state to the investing public.
If a company's sales are lagging - why not reduce the inventory's selling price and sweeten the payment terms? There's nothing illegal in these actions - and company sales may well jump on these incentives. But longer term, these sales prices might have to be repeated over and over again to move stale inventory - reducing operating margins. And the sweetened payment terms might be too sweet - leading to an increase in bad debt expense. This downward spiral of decreased profitability may take a few quarters to show up to Wall Street, but inevitably the company's stock price will match the decline in the company's results.
What can an investor do to avoid such a situation? How can an investor pick up on the early signs of such troubles? Del Vechio and Jacobs have the answer! Their methods of analysis of financial statements often can spot financial problems before a company's stock price tanks.
All-in-all, the book very competently reviews the places where a company might - legally - manipulate revenues, expenses, allowances or cash flow in their financial statements. This book is in the best tradition of analyzing financial statements - following in the tradition of works by O'Glove on the "Quality of Earnings", for example.
The book's narration is done by one of the authors - Tom Jacobs - so the listener never feels that the narrator is 'just reading words' without any idea of what they mean. While I can't describe the narration as "lively" (as this book essentially is an accounting textbook), the pace and style of the narrator is pleasing.
In summary, this book is directed toward those with a good knowledge of accounting statements and of the stock market. However, beginning investors also could benefit from this book if they would only pick up one or two pointers on financial statement analysis.
As a CPA focusing on investments, I enjoyed the book -- and on many occasions as I listened to its chapters I found myself putting down my headphones and saying to myself "now - let's analyze my stocks from this same perspective...."
"Sharpen your pencil, and your thinking"
This is great value all the way through. With some limited accounting background, I am able to follow it on my walks without reference to the downloaded charts and graphs, though these are clear and helpful. And this is a walk all around the hidden soft spots in company financials. These metrics are easy to calculate and straightforward to apply. And plenty of the statements are hedged (in a good way) to help from oversimplifying things. Little capsule company histories side-by-side with where the numbers went, help to back up these useful tools. I plan to listen again to internalize all of it.
"Further Praise for What's Behind the Numbers"
What's Behind the Numbers simplifies the subject of forensic accounting and financial statements analysis and guides the reader through a number of rules, formulas and methods for avoiding companies that practice aggressive accounting.
John Del Vecchio, CFA is the co-portfolio manager of the Ranger Equity Bear ETF and his past experience revolves around using forensic accounting to short stocks. Tom Jacobs is best known from The Motley Fool; his current position being the Lead Advisor for Motley Fool Special Ops which focuses on special situations. Their credentials provide the reader with plenty of conviction regarding their knowledge of value investing, identifying red flags and consequently shorting.
What's Behind the Numbers has received positive mention from informal reviews by readers on a number of online websites; namely Amazon.com and by a number of investment professionals such as Jeff Fischer, Charles Sizemore, and the CFA Institute. This broad mix of praise points to the fact that key concepts have been broken down and are easy to read while at the same time the case studies and investment strategies mean that it is a relevant reference book for financial professionals.
The book focuses on aggressive accounting practices in order to recognise overvalued stocks however practices which are legal and which abide by accounting principles. Companies often bury important information regarding revenue recognition, inventory management and other financial shenanigans in the footnotes however, one does not need to go into such depth to identify the warning signs. Del Vecchio and Jacobs guide the reader throughout, with uses of examples to illustrate their point and explain the different tools available to investors to spot potential trouble. While they focus primarily in avoiding certain companies and thus avoiding a loss, certain cases warrant short positions that would lead to a profit.
Furthermore, technical analysis is also covered and this combination of identifying a stock that is losing momentum with weaknesses in the financials is a strong combination for avoiding or shorting a stock.
The book is narrated by one of the authors, Tom Jacobs, which is a positive sign as it does not sounds scripted but instead more colloquial. While the book does assume some basic knowledge of investing and accounting, it is narrated in such a pace so as not to lose the listener's attention. While potential audiobook listeners may note that tables and graphs are excluded and thus may show preference for the hard copy, these are in fact available for download at deljacobs.
In conclusion, the combination of empirical evidence, relevant examples for specific accounting practices, and a comprehensive writing style makes What's Behind the Numbers a book that could benefit both business school students and investors alike.
"Must read"
Rarely do you come across a book which isn't just an introduction, or stretches a single, simple tip across page after page, giving you the "yeah, yeah. I already got it" feeling.
This book was a pleasure to listen to, and, I assume, would be an even greater read. Missing the figures and tables make you stretch the imagination sometimes, but the book is so full of good insights that make you focus on learning how to invest rather than getting too hung up on individual stats. It is explained well enough anyways.
Great book!
"Lots of great ideas and advice!"
Adds validity to much of what I've been trying to do in the stock market and explained and expanded much information.
A bit technical at times, but well worth the listen.
"Eye Opening!"
The PDF you can find on the web helps.
Sure, if I had six hours in a day to do so.
This books will increase your risk management skills. I'm not a CPA but I am comfortable reading financials.
The first part of this book highlights thing to look for that could signal a red flag using examples from actual company's financial statements.
If financials are of no interest to you the second half of this books provides an interesting breakdown for investing in a small cap long short portfolio.

Those who tried to claim the Tea Party movement was dead received a shock Tuesday night, when House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., lost his primary to challenger David Brat.
Cantor's internal poll from last week had the incumbent up 34 points over Brat, but with 89 percent of precincts reporting, Cantor was down 44.52 percent to 55.48 percent, and news organizations projected Brat as the winner.
It was the most significant upset for a member of the House leadership since 1994, when Republican George Nethercutt ousted then-House Speaker Tom Foley, D-Wash.
Brat, an economics professor at Randolph-Macon College, had little name recognition and raised just a little more than $200,000 for his campaign, according to the Associated Press. But he got a boost from opponents of illegal immigration angry at Cantor, who had taken a middle ground on immigration and appeared to support a path for young illegal immigrants to gain citizenship.
Most likely, Brat benefited from a late surge of support generated by anger over a recent wave of illegal immigrants -- mostly young people -- pouring across the southwestern border, along with the Obama administration's apparent willingness to give up on enforcing immigration law.
On the campaign trail, Brat also had portrayed Cantor as a Washington insider rather than a conservative. The majority leader scored a 68 percent on the Club for Growth's scorecard (he had a 100 percent in 2010) and a dismal 53 percent with Heritage Action.

1.) Take a deep breath
Try slowing your breathing rate to seven to eight breaths per minute. Inhale to a count of four, then exhale at the same speed. "You'll trigger something called the relaxation response," Posen says. "Your heart rate slows down, your blood pressure goes down, and your muscles relax."
2.) Stretch out
Hunched over your computer all day? Get up and walk around every 30 minutes. Do some neck and shoulder rolls. Stretch your arms parallel to the floor, and do circles. A minute or two will loosen tight muscles.
3.) Catch more z's
When you get the sleep you need, you're not only more energized but also more relaxed. A good rule: one hour of sleep for every two hours your awake.
4.) Watch funny videos
Laughter relieves tension and feel-good beta-endorphins.
5.) Lose the java
"I call coffee 'stress in a cup,'" Posen says. It's not just coffee—tea, cola, energy drinks, even chocolate can leave you jittery.
6.) Sleep on the job
Have a stressful meeting? Calm your nerves by napping for 20 minutes—but not any longer or you're likely to slip into a deep sleep and wake up feeling crummier. (And don't forget to wipe the drool off your desk.)
7.) Vent
Talk it out with somebody: a therapist, girlfriend—even a lifting buddy. "People hold a lot of stuff in," Posen says. "I always say, 'Those who suffer alone suffer a lot."
8.) Be realistic
Keep things in perspective. "Sometimes, parts of life are like going to see a movie you were told was the best ever," Posen says. "It may be good, but it wasn't the best ever, and you kind of feel let down."

Outside of her native USA, in the UK alone she can lay claim to spending 11 weeks at no.1 with 'Umbrella' and being the first female solo artist to sell out ten concerts at London's O2 Arena. She was also hailed "most influential pop star" by UK channel 4Music. With these impressive stats, we say to Rihanna; take a bow!
