• Yet another terrorist is being sent away for life by a civilian court. Alan wonders why there's any remaining doubt that America's justice system is well-equipped to handle terror trials.Click here for reuse options!

Rihanna has been given a big boost in the legal war over her former $7 million (GBP4.4 million) Beverly Hills dream home after the seller revealed he informed brokers of the pad's leak problems.
Rihanna has since sold the place after a custom-fitted sound system was damaged and designer clothes were soiled when rainwater dripped into the house from a second storey balcony.
The singer is suing the former owner, the inspector, brokers at Prudential California Realty and engineers who worked on the home for negligence - and there was a breakthrough in the case during depositions last week (ends24Jan14) when the man she bought the place from admitted he had informed the brokers of the leak problems before the star bought the pad in 2009.
In her suit, Rihanna claims "the actual value of the property at the time of purchase... was millions of dollars less" than she paid for it.

The Wine Column
Cafe Couple
By Stett Holbrook
TALK ABOUT about great food and wine pairing—Bonny Doon Vineyard and Manresa restaurant have teamed up to open a new cafe in the winery's new Santa Cruz tasting room.
When Bonny Doon moved down the highway from its original location in Bonny Doon and opened in an industrial space on Santa Cruz's West Side, it created one of the coolest wine-tasting rooms anywhere, with its sweeping, colored concrete bars, wine-barrel tasting "pods," fountain and eclectic artwork. In addition to the great lineup of wines, what made the tasting room unique was the cafe within, which served small plates of savory and sweet food paired with select Bonny Doon wines.
The cafe was a partnership with Santa Cruz's excellent Gabriella Cafe, which gets my vote for the city's best restaurant. But when chef Sean Baker left to pursue other things, Bonny Doon chief Randall Grahm had to figure out what to do. In the end, he turned to his fellow West Side neighbor David Kinch, chef and owner of famed Manresa restaurant in Los Gatos.
Kinch will serve as consulting chef for the cafe and tapped former Manresa sous-chef Charlie Parker as executive chef. Parker's most recent posts were the Michelin two-star restaurant Noma in Copenhagen, Denmark, and Ubuntu in Napa (which is headed by two Manresa alums Jeremy and Deanie Fox).
The Bonny Doon Vineyard Cellar Door Cafe, as the restaurant is rather windily known, will serve lunch and dinner Wednesday–Sunday from noon to 9pm starting May 16. The cafe will serve a menu of small-plate items as well as a three-course prix fixe menu served family-style for $28. Even without wine, that's a great deal.

To accommodate the new cafe, larger communal tables will be added as well as a stove and new ventilation system. The prix fixe menu will change nightly. The opening-night menu will feature an artichoke, fennel and orange salad, warm faro with a fried egg, asparagus and pecorino cheese and a slice of lemon tart. Check out what's coming up on future nights here. www.bonnydoonvineyard.com/visit_us/.
From the outside, the Grahm/Kinch partnership seems ideal. Both are iconoclasts in their own fields, and both have embraced biodynamic agriculture in their pursuit of great food and wine—Grahm with biodynamically grown grapes and Kinch with biodynamically grown produce from Ben Lomond farm. Their partnership sounds like a great pairing to me.

Hardware vendors around the world are finally launching Tablet PC devices based on Microsoft new operating system today, capitalising on the chance to sell a new device into a stagnant PC market. But while many companies are embracing the new Windows XP Tablet PC edition software, others are certain to fail as users determine which devices will pass muster, according to analysts.
"Companies have made many different choices in bringing these products to market, which I think is a healthy sign," said Stephen Baker, director of research at NPD Techworld. "They are showing some innovation, and people think there is an opportunity here."
The two main designs are slate devices with detachable or wireless keyboards, and devices that resemble notebook PCs and whose displays swivel. "Initially, products that offer you multiple capabilities will do best. Exclusive tablets are going to be a much tougher sell, at least in the beginning," Baker said.
Despite the use of various processors from Intel and a few Transmeta Crusoe chips, "I don't think these things are going to be sold on the basis of power," Baker said. The niche businesses that adopt the tablets for their workers, such as health care and large sales organisations, will make their purchasing decisions based on usability more than anything else, he said.
Pen-based computers have historically remained on the sidelines for average computer users, but Microsoft and its partners are hoping that trend ends with the launch of Tablet PC operating system.
"The customers who these products are targeted toward will be willing to pay for the product if they see value," Baker said.
A selected list of devices launched this week follows below:
Toshiba's Portege 3500 Series Tablet PC features a 1.33GHz Pentium III Mobile processor, the fastest chip included in an Intel-based Tablet according to Toshiba. To read PC Advisor's exclusive review click here.
Heat from that increased processor performance will be dissipated through a 2mm space between the keyboard and the 12.1in TFT (thin film transistor) display, which swivels to cover the keyboard when the device is in Tablet mode, Toshiba said.
Toshiba chose a notebook PC-type design for the 1.8kg device. The company has also included integrated Bluetooth and 802.11b wireless communications capabilities in the device.
The Portege 3500 will be available worldwide as of Thursday. It is priced £1,799 (ex VAT).
The Compaq Tablet PC TC1000 (pictured) from HP uses the Crusoe TM5800 processor from Transmeta, which received a clock speed boost to 1GHz for this device. "It's got the right combination of performance and battery life for this highly mobile category," said Ted Clark, vice president of new notebook business at HP. A full review will appear in PC Advisor's February 03 issue.
The display is a little smaller than Toshiba's, at 10.4in, but it is optimised for wide-angle viewing Clark said.
The HP keyboard is detachable from the rest of the device, and is designed to be stored in a carrying case or its docking station when the device is in Tablet mode. Without the keyboard, the TC1000 weighs about 1.35kg with a total weight of just under 4lbs with the keyboard attached. Pricing will be around £1,300.
Other manufacturers entering the Tablet PC space include Fujitsu, Acer, Viewsonic, LG and NEC.
The UK launch is later today, and we will bring you more news as we have it.

The original masterpiece was created in 1889. Today it has been carefully recreated detail by detail, color by color to near perfection. Vincent Van Gogh's restless spirit and depressive mental state fired his artistic work with great joy and, sadly, equally great despair. Known as a prolific Post-Impressionist, he produced many paintings that were heavily biographical. This work of art has the same emotions and beauty as the original. Why not grace your home with this reproduced masterpiece? It is sure to bring many admirers!

text: adidas Originals slipped this three-pack of Superstar '80s under the radar for most. Sure, they drop plenty of Superstar options throughout the year but the materials on this pack were collab worthy. On top of that, the snakeskin Three Stripes on the medial sides was a subtle change that added some extra oomph to these classics. To think these went on clearance is an atrocity.

This is the story of my experience in the early 1970's, in going to what I call a "pseudo-Catholic cult". In calling it that, I'm not saying or implying that all the individuals involved were not Catholic, but rather that the charismatic, dogmatic leader claimed to be leading all that was left of the Catholic Church, while the Catholic Church did not recognize the organization as being legitimate. But my story is simply for the purpose of sharing my own experiences, and it is in no way meant as an indictment of any of the generous people who I met along the way.
In telling my story, I avoid giving names except those of leaders, most of which are readily available in a simple search. My avoidance of names may make for awkward reading on occasion, and a little repetition, but please bear with me. This is my own account, based on the facts as I saw them, written from my personal memory and understanding. I do not want to misrepresent anyone, should I remember something a little bit wrong, and I don't want to hurt anyone or their families, many of whom have already been hurt in so many ways.
Part 1:
As I said to a friend, decades later, "I came in to the Catholic Church through the back door," to which she replied with a smile, "You came in through the bathroom window." Allegories aside, I grew up as a Protestant - as we called ourselves in those days - in the 1950's and '60's in Vancouver, Washington (a small town across the Columbia River from Portland, Oregon).
Through a childhood friend, I became acquainted with some of the rich culture of the Catholic Church at an early age. I enjoyed hearing the stories of the saints; but I was also very content with my own church, where I had encouragement in my prayer life, and support for my daily life, first from my Sunday school and later from my youth group.
But one weekday afternoon I went with my Catholic friend to St. James Cathedral for a visit. There, among the statues and candles, I was filled with a deep sense of peace. Although it wasn't an instant conversion, it was the sense of Presence, I think, more than anything, which gradually drew me to the Catholic Church. In my senior year of high school I decided to become a Catholic. Little did I know what a rocky road stretched ahead of me!
My girlfriend's mother was very upset about Vatican II and the changes in the Church, especially the changes in the Mass. So I went with them to a traditional Latin Mass at St. Birgitta's Catholic Church in Portland. Later, we drove ourselves. Of course, it was an adventure for us Vancouver kids to be driving to Portland for church.
I learned that, because it was a Croatian mission church, the priest answered directly to Rome rather than to the local bishop; consequently, he was able to offer the Latin Mass in an era when it was usually not allowed in the churches.
I told the pastor, Fr. Milan Mikulich, that I would like to become a Catholic. He told me he was going on an extended trip to Europe and would begin instructing me after he returned. I was disappointed by the delay, but in the meantime, I read Catholic books, including Chats with Converts (Fr. M.D. Forrest); The Autobiography of St. Therese; Fr. Smith Instructs Jackson by Archbishop John Francis Noll; and The Imitation of Christ by Thomas a Kempis.
I also read a book by a traditionalist, Patrick Henry Omlor, which was called, Questioning the Validity of the Masses using the New All English Canon. The author posited the theory that the "new Mass" was not valid, based on the changes in wording. What was a young prospective Catholic to think? The same as her friend and her friend's mother, and some of the people with whom we had donuts and coffee after Mass, or the young people we met with for "cell meetings" with the Fatima Crusade, an organization founded and directed by a man called Brother Francis, who had formerly held an active role in the Blue Army of Our Lady of Fatima.
One weekend in the summer of 1971, after I graduated from high school, Brother Francis, with his right hand man Brother Denis, and a lay missionary sister came to our little town. We went to listen to them speak at the lecture hall of the PUD (the Public Utilities Department). They were quite charming, really.
After the talk, my friend and I drove the lay missionary sister to where she was spending the night. On the way, she told us enthusiastically about a 10-day summer seminar which was coming up in August in a camp in Idaho. She was very sweet and charming, and I had always loved going to my church summer camps; so it was easy for her to talk me into going. My only concern was getting time off from work, but I did, and my friend and I both headed to Idaho.
Part 2:
Someone from Portland offered to give us a ride from Vancouver to the camp in Idaho…a gentleman whose daughter was a sister with the group. I have no recollection why we accepted the offer instead of driving ourselves in my car; perhaps it was to save money since I had recently rented an apartment and things were a little tight for me.
When we checked in to the seminar, they took our watches. 'But wait. I've had my watch since I was in third grade. No one told me I was signing up for this.' I don't know if I said it or only thought it, but they reassured us that they would give them back at the end of the 10-days. (Of course we didn't have cell phones in those days.).
And so began ten days filled with hours and hours of torturous lectures by Francis Schuckardt, all about the many terrible things that were "wrong" in the Church and in the world. I have no idea how many hours he actually lectured since we were not allowed our watches; but I know we had a little time for Mass, which was offered by an elderly retired priest. We had a little time for sleep and meals. We were expected to practice silence always, except during recreation, when we had a little time to play volleyball or go to the chapel to pray privately. Even though I'm normally a talkative person, one of the first days I chose to go to the chapel to be alone, because I wanted to try to sort out my thoughts. But thinking for myself had become increasingly difficult as the days wore on; and I gave up.
Finally, the long ordeal was over. At this point, you might think we would have run, not walked, to get out of there. But there were two problems with that. First of all, the person from Portland who drove us up there was nowhere to be found. Secondly, how could we go back to "the world"? There was nothing for us out there. Francis had told us about the "humanoids" and "possessed persons" who wandered the streets, who lived among us in the worlds we came from. He had also told us that, "All of the bishops are apostates! And anyone who follows an apostate bishop is ipso facto excommunicated!" There was nothing for us in the churches we came from.
Pretty much, if we didn't want to go to hell, we better stay. There is little that is as powerful as threatening people with the loss of their souls.
I would like to share a free verse poem that I wrote a few years ago about going to that seminar, and then I will share the next chapter in the journey.

Time to go home,

Part 3:
So there we were…without a car, without a phone, without the desire to go home. We might have gone to "The Center" to phone home to our parents ('the center' was where they sold books and gifts, and had a phone); or we might have written a letter. I can't remember which it was after all this time. I do remember I wrote a letter to my landlady and offered her my furniture in exchange for the rent I couldn't pay. And then, finally, the man who had driven us to Idaho returned from wherever he had gone and offered to drive us back.
We went home, said our good-byes to our puzzled, and probably heart-broken, parents; we gathered a few of our things; and we headed back up in my car.
We were told we could stay as guests in the convent. They generously shared their meager food with us, one or two cubes of bouillon to a huge pot of water, and fruit and bread from dumpster diving at the nearby grocery store, but also good eggs and milk from farmers in the community. I don't remember where my childhood friend slept (if I even knew at the time), but I remember sleeping under the table in the dining room; of course I still had my sleeping bag from the camp. I also remember sleeping upstairs on a bedroom floor, hoping that the missionary sister - the one who had come to Vancouver way back in what seemed like another lifetime –would not step on me in the dark when she came in from the home of some family in the group, whom she had gone to visit.
The sisters I lived with came to call the lay missionary sister my "guardian angel", as she was assigned to prepare me for reception into the Church and we spent a lot of time together, poring over books and talking. As it turned out, my missionary sister taught me the same things I had read in Catholic books in past months. But some of the things we talked about seemed different from some of the things that Brother Francis was teaching. She came to trust me, and she told me confidentially of her concerns about some of the things he had been saying. We had to talk about this in the basement or while taking a walk because the cardinal rule and atmosphere was that no one must ever question Francis or anything he said.
But soon it was time for my Baptism at the big church in the country. A retired missionary priest, Fr. Ernest Speckhart, who had served in South America and was now living in Los Angeles, came up to help out at a weekend conference, and Sister arranged for him to be the one to baptize me. I felt sorry for the people who had to wait through the Confession, conditional Baptism, and First Holy Communion before they could attend the long Mass. But there was a bit of a spirit of festivity after it was all over, and people congratulated me.
At that same weekend conference - part of which was held in the little town - I came out after the evening talks one night and my car wouldn't start. A couple of the young men (teenagers, perhaps) tried to jump- start it for me, but someone said they accidentally jump-started it backwards. So there it sat, parked along the curb, and it got impounded. Someone else drove me and my friend back to the convent, and there sat my car in the impound lot. Of course I didn't have any money for repairs or impound fees; although I don't know where I would have gotten money for more gas, anyway. Now I truly had given up almost everything. Now I was even more completely dependent…I who had been so responsible from an early age.
Part 4:
After a few days or weeks (who knows which it was), I wrote Brother Francis a letter telling him that I had decided I didn't want to become a sister; I would rather be a lay missionary. He had someone take me to the center so I could call him; and he told me that was a Protestant idea. Being a new convert, that hurt. But, he said, since you feel that way, you should leave the convent, and there is a woman who works, and who has two school children boarding with her. You can go live with her and help take care of the children, he said. And so I did.
The woman I lived with seemed like a reasonable person, and the little girls were sweet, but it might have been the first afternoon I was there that a neighbor woman came over to scold us that the girls, for heaven's sake, should not be playing in pants. They must wear only long skirts always, not just for church and school but for play too. I guess my hostess hadn't understood the rules. Also, the girls, just like the women, must cover their heads with a mantilla or a scarf at all times, this neighbor told us.
Then one day someone came to drive me to the center again, because Brother Francis wanted to talk to me once more. He was all sweetness and charm this time. He said, since I wanted to be a lay missionary, he had an opportunity for me. I could go to Phoenix with a couple who were returning to their home there. I could help at their center. And the lay missionary sister would be going too, and we could help with this couple's little girl, also. Francis said he would pay to have my car repaired, so that we could all drive down there in it.
And so, I left my childhood friend behind, just as I had previously left behind my family, my extended family, my other friends, my job, and my apartment. And I set off on another adventure.
In spite of that sorrow, as we drove further and further south, I felt a sense of relief at leaving the place behind.
Within a day or two, the couple left for Chicago where they were going to meet Brother Francis. We would stay behind to care for their small daughter. Before they left, our host said to us, "Feel free to help yourselves to any of the books in the library while we are gone!" We thanked him and said good-bye.
My missionary sister was delighted to see the books, because she was concerned and wanted to check some things out. The day before they left on this trip, the woman had told her she was picking up something for an ordination. I think she hadn't meant to share that and let it slip out.
Well, Francis had recently told Sister about a bishop he had been in touch with in Chicago, a Bishop Daniel Q. Brown, a bishop of the "Old Roman Catholic" Church. And here we were with a Catholic Dictionary and a whole set of Catholic Encyclopedias at our disposal. And so, in between taking care of the little girl, we went to work on research. We learned that the Old Roman Catholic Church had broken with the Catholic Church at least as early as the 1800's. I have learned more recently that Daniel Q. Brown had been a Catholic layman, and had left the Church in the 1960's due to the changes brought about by Vatican II, joining the Old Roman Catholics, where he was ordained and consecrated. At some point, I read, he rejected the Old Roman Catholic Church; however, he took full advantage of his orders to pass them along.
My missionary sister and I felt we could not stay, knowing what we did about how Brother Francis was getting ordained. We packed my car, filled it with gas, and parked it, facing out and where they could not inadvertently block it when they came home. We were ready to go as soon as the couple returned from Chicago.
We fully expected the couple to return to Phoenix and tell us that Francis had become a priest, but both they and we were in for a shock! Their shock was that we were not delighted…and that we were leaving. Our shock came when they told us that Francis Schuckardt had not only been ordained a priest, but had also been consecrated a bishop the very next day. Of course, they were not happy that we were leaving! But away we went, driving through the night to Los Angeles, where Sister had friends, including Fr. Speckhart, the priest who had baptized me.
Part 5:
We arrived at a home in Los Angeles in time for Sunday Mass. People warmly welcomed us with open arms. In the coming days, my friend found a chance to talk to Fr. Speckhart privately, and she told him what she knew about the ordination and consecration of Francis. He then did his own research. At the next week's Mass, Fr. Speckhart explained it to the people during his sermon, telling what was wrong with what Francis had done. Fr. Speckhart's talk was not well received, as the loyalty was not to him but to their distant charismatic leader, Francis Schuckardt.
Later that week, a friend showed us a letter that had gone out immediately, to all the followers in the L.A. area, as soon as someone had phoned up to Idaho with news of Father Speckart's talk. The letter came directly from Francis Schuckardt. In it, he named the three of us…my missionary sister friend, Fr. Speckhart, and me. In the letter, Francis said that we had chosen to become enemies of the community. No one was to have anything to do with us! And all the way down in Los Angeles, the people obeyed completely it seemed, all except for the one family, the ones who showed us the letter. But to get to or from their house, we had to park far away on another street and walk in, hoping against hope, for their sake, that no one would drive by and see us walking. This family still had children in the boarding school in Idaho, and we didn't want to endanger them in any way.
Soon, this couple decided to drive to Idaho to bring their children home. They invited us to go along, as we had left some of our belongings behind when we drove to Phoenix. They told no one they were coming. When we got close to the town in Idaho, the two of us crouched on the floor in the back of the car, concerned, for their sake, that someone might see us with them before they reached their children. They drove us to the home of friends who had already left Francis's group previously, who graciously welcomed us to stay in their home for a few days, and even generously lent us the use of their car.
Our Los Angeles friends were going to pick up their children and head home, while the two of us were going to stay behind for a few days, and then take the train back. Our first stop was the center, where my friend stuck her foot in the door and they quickly slammed it, but too late. She was wearing a very solid boot of mine and she took advantage of being stuck there, telling them that Francis was ordained and consecrated by someone who was not Catholic, while they tried to talk over her, so that they would not be listening, telling her repeatedly to go away. Finally, she said, "I will, if you'll let me get my foot out of the door." And they did.
The next day we went to the convent to pick up our things, but they wouldn't open the door to us. They were not supposed to, anyway, of course, but after the previous day's adventure, they were probably well prepared. We went to the police and asked the police officer to speak to them. The police officer did talk to them and he called to tell us to come to the convent the next day. We did, and there were our things, not on the porch, as we had guessed they would be, but in the middle of the yard in the snow. At least we were able to get them back.
We must have shipped the belongings we retrieved, since we were taking the train. Some details are hard to remember after 45 years. Some other things are easier to remember because they were so impressive or because we retold them so many times.
We stopped by Vancouver and had a nice visit with my parents. And then we went on to the home of my missionary friend's family in Central California and stayed with her mother. We made frequent trips to Los Angeles where we spent time with families who had left the group or who had only had a brief encounter with the group. We attended the Latin Mass of retired priests or priests who had special permission to offer it. Sometimes we attended an Eastern rite Catholic Mass, which had remained essentially unchanged.
Eventually, we both got jobs in Central California. I saved up some money and bought a car (mine had seen better days long before), and I took a few classes. Three years after that fateful summer of '71, I packed everything into my old VW Beetle and moved, by myself, to Los Angeles, where I later met my husband – a great guy - and the rest is another history, not entirely pertinent to this story.
I have told this story from my own viewpoint, as accurately as I can remember. There were many other stories and many details that I have left out because it is painful to re-live that period of time. Also, there were many other happenings and details that I learned about from others, later on, but those involve other people's journeys, and they are neither my explanations to give nor my stories to tell.
Today, forty-five years later, I sometimes attend the Latin Mass in a historic church downtown that is part of our local Catholic archdiocese, especially to hear my husband sing in the choir; and I also attend the mainstream Mass at my vibrant local Catholic church.
I have come full circle back to why, when I was a teenager, I wanted to become a Catholic. Whenever I hear someone complain about the way things are done in the liturgy at this parish or that parish (whether in person or online), I like to say, "Is Jesus there? Then I'm there."

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Consumers should continue to see low prices at the grocery store, based on a forecast from the U.S. Agriculture Department, which expects food inflation in 2010 to be at the lowest level since 1992.
Price spikes in the futures market for agricultural commodities -- ranging from wheat to hogs -- have been stoking fears food makers will raise prices to cover manufacturing costs. But the USDA lowered its food price forecast late Wednesday.
The USDA is calling for food prices at supermarkets and other retailers to rise 0.5% to 1.5% this year. That's down from 1.5% to 2.5% increase it forecasted June 25. In 2009, so-called food-at-home prices edged up 0.5% after rising 6.4% in 2008 and 4.2% in 2007.
Consumers can expect to pay more for meat at the store.
Pork prices are pegged to be up 3% to 4%, following an 18-month period in which U.S. meat producers have aggressively cut output and hog inventories to stem losses. This has spurred a 62% increase for lean hogs in the futures market over the last year.
"Increased inflation for most meat products in 2010 is a strong possibility," the USDA said.
In addition, prices for sugar and sweets could be up as much as 3%, dairy products up to 2.5%, and cereals and bakery products as much as 2%, the USDA reported.
Some of the largest U.S. food makers are taking some precautions already to protect themselves against surging commodity prices. For instance, Sara Lee SLE, +0.00% said this month it plans to raise prices for its breads, deli meats and coffee.
J.M. Smucker SJM, +0.31% has raised coffee prices 13% since May, while Kraft Foods KFT upped prices for its Maxwell House coffees.
Despite some product-price hikes, brand-name packaged food companies are reluctant to boost prices as they fear losing market share, according to food industry sources.
This year, food makers have been heavy discounting their products to lure shoppers, boost sales and fend off advances from cheaper store brands. The approach has had mixed results, with volume growth still sluggish for some food companies.
Price cuts come as July marked the ninth consecutive month that wholesale food prices exceeded those at the retail level, according to Brian Todd, president of the Food Institute. This indicates supermarket chains and other food retailers continue to absorb many of the costs they are incurring, he said.
Typically, when commodity prices rise for a prolonged period, it takes several months before those price gains find their way to grocery-store shelves.
Robert Hill Jr., chief executive of Acosta, a sales and marketing consultant for major food makers and grocery stores, said price increases have been slow so far this year.
"We have not seen many price increases come through yet," Hill said in an interview Wednesday. He said "discounting will remain fairly prevalent" for the rest of the year.
In the past week, food companies contacted by MarketWatch -- Ralcorp RAH H.J. Heinz HNZ and General Mills GIS, +0.80% -- declined to comment on whether they plan to raise prices with commodity costs going up.
ConAgra Foods CAG, +0.32% said it might raise prices.
"We're watching commodity prices closely, and we will take price increases to reflect increases in commodity costs, as needed," spokeswoman Teresa Paulsen said in an email. "Any price increases would be competitive, and we'd still be providing consumers with terrific value."
A spokesman for Campbell Soup told MarketWatch Aug. 5 the company is hedged against the spike in wheat prices. The person said Campbell does not plan to raise retail prices for its bread and crackers sold under the Pepperidge Farm brand.
Campbell CPB, -0.76% and Heinz both report earnings next week and are likely to be pressed by analysts on the issue again.

For the last few months I've used the plastic screws to hold down my Clearaudio TalismanV2 gold into my SMEV/SME 10 set up.
I haven't seen much written about this practise., I've always been a metal head when it came to attaching my cartridges to the headshell.
I haven't felt that it was any better than the conventional, but it has been awhile.
I have thought that the plastic screws would be less prone to ringing or picking up vibrations,but maybe that's just wishful thinking.
Therefore I am asking those who are in the know to provide me with some information.
I will not be offended by any criticism of my choice of the plastic screws.

Hidden from public view for more than 50 years, the interior dome of the old Fayette County Courthouse is fading and starting to deteriorate.
The yellow paint on the walls is peeling. Pigeons have moved in.
On the ceiling of the dome are black dots — burned-out light bulbs that used to replicate stars.
The cost to restore the dome to what it looked like in 1900, when the courthouse first opened, is one of several issues that will be addressed in a new study.
This month, the Urban County Council approved a $110,000 contract with EOP architects for an initial structure assessment and a historical inventory of the four-story former courthouse on Main Street.
The building was closed in July 2012 after the discovery of lead dust, asbestos and other hazardous materials. The three museums that were housed in the building — the Lexington History Museum, a police museum and a pharmacy museum — were forced out.
"This is the first step to see what needs to be done," said Jeff Fugate, president of the Lexington Downtown Development Authority, which is overseeing the old courthouse project. "I really hope this report will be a call to action."
The report will be finished in late fall. It will serve as a road map for the next steps for one of the city's oldest municipal buildings.
"We can't move forward without knowing what we are dealing with," Fugate said.
Foster Ockerman Jr. said he hopes the EOP assessment will generate more public input and investment in the structure that sits in the heart of downtown in a bustling entertainment district.
Ockerman has pushed to have the courthouse restored since 2001, when construction began on Lexington's two newer courthouses.
"Why has it taken so long?" Ockerman asked about efforts to restore the building. "It's just a function of the community bringing its focus to the old courthouse. We have had a lot going on. We have been concerned about CentrePointe, the Lyric Theatre and then Rupp Arena."
Mayor Jim Gray temporarily suspended the Rupp Arena project in June.
Ockerman, a lawyer, said now that Rupp is off the table, he hopes the city and its citizens can focus on the courthouse.
Ockerman chairs the nonprofit Courthouse Square Foundation, which has been working with the city to find new uses for the building — Fayette County's fifth courthouse and the third on that site.
With new developments on Main Street, including the nearby 21c Museum Hotel and CentrePointe, that area of downtown has become a focal point, Ockerman said.
To have a historic building sit dark for too long can drain energy from downtown and send the wrong message to visitors and investors, Fugate said.
"We put between two to three million dollars into Cheapside Park, millions of dollars have gone into restaurants in the area, $40 million in the 21c Museum and hundreds of millions into the CentrePointe development," Fugate said. "For us to yawn and assume that the courthouse isn't important or that the courthouse is too hard, does not encourage people to invest in Lexington."
Lexington has a habit of tearing down its historic public buildings, Fugate said.
"We tore down the old post office, we tore down the old train station, we have torn down the old city hall," Fugate said. "The only major historic public building left in Lexington is the old courthouse, and it sits on Main Street."
Once EOP finishes its assessment, the city will have a better idea of what it will cost to fix some of the problems in the building.
A previous study estimated the cost at $18 million to $20 million to restore the courthouse to what it looked like before the 1960s, when it was modernized and its atrium was filled with HVAC systems, bathrooms and other mechanical structures.
Before that major renovation, the central atrium rose 111 feet from the ground level to the interior top of the dome. It had a two-story staircase and a dramatic, two-story courtroom.
Andrew Moore and Daniel Polk of EOP started their assessment last week. Moore said they are trying to determine exactly what's in the building, what's original and what was added. Polk said that even the most current architectural plans for the courthouse have rooms marked on them that are no longer there.
A complete restoration to what it looked like when it opened in 1900 might be too costly, Fugate said.
It's the cost that worries Urban County Council member Julian Beard.
"$18 million is too much," Beard said. Beard, who has been the council's most vocal skeptic about the project, said he also questions whether the courthouse could be converted into retail or cafe space.
"It only has two parking spaces," Beard said.
But how the space will be used might determine what work will be needed, Fugate said.
Ockerman said that it could still be used for museum space or possibly the Visitors and Convention Bureau, now called VisitLex.
"It's the perfect place to start any sort of historic tour in Fayette County," Ockerman said.
Other possibilities include retail, cafe and market space on the ground floor, public meeting space on the second floor and office space and storage on the third and fourth floors.
EOP is working with Philadelphia firm Preservation Design Partnership, which specializes in restoring and repurposing historic buildings. Part of the report will include possible uses for the building, said Moore, project manager for EOP.
The city has set aside a little more than $500,000 for the initial planning stages of the project.
The Lexington Downtown Development Authority is exploring a host of funding options depending on what the space will be used for. Those options could include historic and other tax credits, private investment, fundraising and public money.
"What the space will be used for will decide how we fund it," Fugate said.

Second Circuit highlights two important issues concerning law enforcement testimony: first, an officer may not provide lay testimony that is based upon "specialized training and experience"; and second, expert opinion testimony is not permitted on the defendant's intent, in United States v. Haynes [2], _ F.3d _ (2d Cir. Sept. 5, 2013) (No. 12–626–cr)
Two trial errors involving expert testimony recently contributed to a reversal and new trial in a drug conviction in the Second Circuit. The first error involved application of lay opinion testimony under FRE 701(c) [3] which does not permit opinion "based on scientific, technical, or other specialized knowledge within the scope of Rule 702 [4]." The second improper admission concerned the prohibition under FRE 704(b) [5] against expert opinion on "whether the defendant did or did not have a mental state or condition that constitutes an element of the crime charged" which is left "for the trier of fact alone." Based on these and other trial errors, a new trial was ordered.
Trial Court Proceedings
Defendant Haynes was prosecuted for the importation and possession with the intent to distribute methamphetamine after she was found with "approximately 70,000 pills weighing approximately 49.4 pounds wrapped in plastic and stuffed tightly in the rental car's gas tank" while driving into New York from Canada. The central issue at trial was whether she was a "drug courier" with knowledge of the methamphetamine, as the government argued, or simply a "blind mule" lacking knowledge about the drugs in the rental car, as the defense contended. During trial, a Customs and Border Protection Officer testified that the fuel tank light indicated an empty gas tank when there were about four to five gallons in the car. The officer explained:
On the outside of this cylinder, there's a float and that's –- the float is what shows that the gas level, so as the float goes down, the gas level in the vehicle obviously goes down. So, when the drugs were placed and the float was pushed to the bottom, drugs holding that to the bottom would always read zero kilometers to empty. That would always be on empty.
He added that the empty level would be displayed "[f]or as long as those drugs were in the vehicle." Haynes, _ F.3d at _. The officer acknowledged that he "had 'looked in the gas tank prior to this' and that the fuel light had been on throughout his investigation" and "he had not attended 'mechanic school'".
On a second issue, during rebuttal, the government recalled a special agent to testify as an expert to "point out the flaws in a blind mule scenario" presented by the defense. As he explained:
With the blind mule . . . the person's going to be unwitting, not know that there's anything going on with the load. So in this case, after reviewing the case, in my opinion the defendant realized, especially with inconsistency in the [defendant's] statements, the strong odor of gasoline, the fuel light and also masking agents to keep it. Again, an organization wants it blind. They can't have people know that there is a load or that there [are] narcotics in the vehicle.
Haynes, _ F.3d at _. After the jury convicted the defendant, she contested the admission of the fuel tank testimony as inadmissible lay opinion under FRE 701 [3] since it "was based on specialized knowledge" and "not rationally based on" his "perceptions" which deprived her of the chance "to present a rebuttal expert or to prepare to cross-examine" on "the technical subject of how the fuel tank operates." She also challenged the rebuttal expert testimony as providing an opinion on her intent which is barred by FRE 704(b) [5].
Circuit Analysis: Impermissible Lay Testimony Based On "Specialized Training And Experience"
On the gas tank testimony, the circuit concluded that it was the product of "specialize training and experience" and not lay testimony. One purpose of FRE 701 was to avoid "conflating expert and lay opinion testimony thereby conferring an aura of expertise on a witness without satisfying the reliability standard for expert testimony set forth in Rule 702 [4] and the pre-trial disclosure requirements set forth in Fed. R. Crim. P. 16 . . . ." Haynes, _ F.3d at _ (quoting United States v. Garcia, 413 F.3d 201, 215 (2d Cir. 2005)). The law enforcement official could not provide lay opinion testimony which was since his "reasoning process depended, in whole or in part, on [the officer's] specialized training and experience." Garcia, 413 F.3d at 216. The circuit explained the error in admitting this testimony:
Officer Rabideau's testimony was improperly admitted over the 690 defendant's objection because his opinion was based on specialized training and 691 experience. Officer Rabideau did more than simply describe what he found in the gas tank and what he perceived. He described how the float on the outside of the gas tank worked and why the gas gauge would have registered zero to empty while the drugs were in the gas tank. As the Government concedes, this testimony was based on knowledge that Officer Rabideau acquired inspecting other cars at the border. That he did not attend "mechanic school" does not render his testimony admissible under Federal Rule of Evidence 701. Officer Rabideau acquired his knowledge of how a fuel tank operates through his experience as a border agent inspecting vehicles, not through the reasoning processes of the average person. Therefore, the admission of this testimony was error.
Haynes, _ F.3d at _.
Circuit Analysis: Improper Expert Testimony On The Defendant's Intent
The Second Circuit also concluded that the agent's expert testimony violated teh FRE 704(b) bar against expert opinion on the defendant's intent. As the circuit commented:
Agent Linstad's testimony regarding whether the defendant "realized" that there were drugs in the car was erroneously admitted because it is expert testimony about the defendant's state of mind. Indeed, whether the defendant "realized" that there were drugs in the car was the key issue in this case. Moreover, Agent Linstad used the opportunity to summarize some of the Government's evidence as to why the defendant must have known that she was transporting drugs, which included the defendant's inconsistent statements, the strong odor of gasoline, the fuel light, and the presence of masking agents. The Court had previously warned the parties that it would not permit such testimony about the defendant's knowledge, but when it was actually introduced, the Court erroneously failed to strike it.
Haynes, _ F.3d at _ (citing United States v. DiDomenico, 985 F.2d 1159, 1164-65 (2d Cir. 1993) (noting FRE 704(b) "disables even an expert from expressly stating the final conclusion or inference as to a defendant's actual mental state at the time of a crime" as it "poses a uniquely heightened danger of intruding on the jury's function") (internal quotation marks and citations omitted)).
The Haynes case focuses on two areas involving law enforcement expert testimony. The first challenge was inadmissible as lay opinion testimony but there was no dispute it could have been offered as expert testimony if proper pretrial notice had been provided. The second error was simply impermissible and could have been avoided by either more careful questioning and responses. These two errors were not the only ones in the case. See also Premature Jury Deliberations [6]. The Second Circuit concluded that the combination of these and other errors required the conviction to be vacated and the case remanded for a new trial.

Airshow Photography Tips & Tricks - Part 1
Did you know that more people attend air shows than any other past time activity in North America? Not only are they the perfect outdoor activity for the entire family but also their safety record has set precedence for all other sporting events across the nation.
According to the International Council of Air Shows (ICAS), between 15 and 18 million people attend air shows annually. You would think there were a few cameras in that crowd. With so many people and so many photos to be taken, how are you going to keep your images original? Where is the best place to photograph? What does it take to get that perfect photo? Hopefully the following text will provide some insight as to the secret of capturing the essence and spectacle of air shows.
A friend once told me, "It's not the arrow that hit the target; it was the archer's skill which caused it to do so." Although your equipment does play a vital role in the creation of your images, it is your skill and imagination that will enable your photos to be successful. Because of that, I can only give you a guide based on the mainstream fundamentals of air show photography and what type of equipment seems to work.
Your best bet for a successful system would be a camera with detachable lenses known as a Single Lens Reflex (SLR) or in digital terms, a DSLR. This will enable you to see exactly what the camera sees including the ability to check focus and composition. The most notable benefit to SLR's are the plethora of lenses available providing an enormous focal range. In that focal range, you could include wide-angle lenses starting around 14mm all the way up to telephotos in excess of 500mm. The two most common lenses carried are the wide-angle to medium range zoom of around 24-80mm and the telephoto zoom lenses ranging from 75-300mm.
For creating interesting effects of static aircraft, you could try fisheye lenses ranging from 8mm to 15mm. Or perhaps if you want to include a large area or an entire aircraft without too much distortion, Canon and Nikon (as well as many aftermarket brands) make lenses in the 17-35mm range.
When it comes to telephoto lenses, things get a little more complicated and if you let them, a bit more expensive. Although a zoom lens of 75-300mm will work well on just about all applications, with an aperture of F/5.6 or higher, some may find it a little restrictive. A practice, which is becoming more common, is to carry an additional fixed length telephoto lens with a range of 300mm or 400mm and an aperture of F/4. Not only are you able to use a full shutter speed or ISO* speed faster with the lens by itself, but you also have the capability of adding a 1.4x teleconverter, which would change the 300mm F/4 to a 420mm F5.6 or the 400mm F/4 to a 560mm F5.6.
The resulting aperture and weather conditions play a big factor in your ISO or ASA* of choice. If you have a fairly small aperture such as F/5.6 or F/8 or the weather isn't exactly great, you may want to use an ISO speed (or digital ISO setting) of ISO 200 or 400 in order to increase your shutter speeds and stop the action. Unfortunately, the higher the ISO setting the more noticeable grain or digital 'noise' becomes. Many photographers will shoot ISO 100 to achieve the sharpest possible images. If you are familiar enough with your camera manually adjust your setting to ISO 100 and take a meter reading of the approximate area in which you will be photographing. If the shutter speed is higher than the focal length of the lens, ISO 100 will work perfectly. If the focal length is lower, i.e.; shutter speed = 1/250 sec. and focal length = 400mm, use a setting of ISO 200 to raise your shutter speed to 1/500 sec. resulting in a shutter speed more than the focal length.
