Reporter shield protects Jobs biographer in Apple e-book case

Class action lawyers want Steve Jobs? biographer to hand over his source material to help them prove that Apple and publishers fixed e-book prices. But a judge has agreed that the author can refuse under a law that protects journalists and their sources.

A federal judge ruled earlier this month that the laws of reporter privilege mean that Walter Isaacson, the author of a popular Steve Jobs biography, doesn?t have to hand over his notes as evidence in a class action suit over alleged e-book price-fixing.

The ruling came after plaintiffs issued a subpoena?in May that required Isaacson to hand over his source materials. Their lawyers claim his notes and interview recordings with Jobs will help establish that the late Apple founder brokered a conspiracy with publishers. In their lawsuit, the plaintiffs have already jumped on passages in Isaacon?s biography (such as Jobs saying consumers would ?pay [] a little more?) to support their case.

Isaacson, a prominent historian and journalist, is willing to authenticate passages in the book. But he invoked the reporter?s privilege and refused to hand over his source material or even a list of Jobs-related documents and recordings. His lawyers then asked U.S. District Judge Denise Cote to quash the subpoena.

On July 20th, Cote agreed that Isaacson did not have to comply with the?subpoena. She added, though, that the lawyers could try again if they can pass a legal test that allows the disclosure of journalists? non-confidential material in some circumstances.

Isaacson?s attorney, Elizabeth McNamara, said in a phone interview that the class-action lawyers faced a high bar to show the ?notes are highly relevant and necessary to the case.? She added that none of Isaacson?s taped recordings with Jobs discuss e-book pricing.

Plaintiffs? lawyer Steven Berman has argued that the reporter?s privilege shouldn?t apply because Jobs didn?t ask Isaacson for confidentiality. He also claims that they can get Jobs? information on ebooks from other sources.

The dispute comes at a time when the reporter?s privilege has been in the spotlight for the federal government?s effort to knock it down in military cases. A Virginia appeals court, for instance, is preparing to rule on whether the Justice Department can compel a Wall Street Journal reporter to testify in a case against a former CIA officer.

The Second Circuit Court of Appeals, which oversees New York courts, has affirmed the reporter?s privilege numerous times. It recently warned:

?wholesale exposure of press files ? would burden the press with?heavy costs of subpoena compliance, and could otherwise impair its ability to?perform its duties ? [it]?would risk ?the symbolic harm of making journalists?appear to be an investigative arm of the judicial system, the government, or?private parties.?

The ruling was first reported by Publishers Weekly.

Scottish News: Hall's of Broxburn Taskforce set up to save 1,700 jobs to reconvene

Jul 30 2012

FINANCE Secretary John Swinney will reconvene a taskforce to save 1,700 jobs at a closure-threatened meat processing plant today.

The second meeting of the Hall's of Broxburn Taskforce will take place in the West Lothian town this morning.

The taskforce was established to safeguard jobs following the decision by Vion Food UK to consult on the future of its plant at Broxburn.

It comprises company representatives, Usdaw, West Lothian Council, the MP and MSP for the area, Scottish Enterprise, Scottish Development International, Skills Development Scotland, Job Centre Plus and Quality Meat Scotland.

Rural Affairs Secretary Richard Lochhead will also attend.

Plant owners Vion Food UK announced a 90-day consultation earlier this month on proposals to close the site, which was said to be losing ?79,000 a day despite heavy investment.

The factory employs 1,150 permanent and 595 agency staff. It is a major processing facility for Scottish pork used to make sausages and other meat products, handling about 8,000 pigs each week.

First Minister Alex Salmond and Scottish Secretary Michael Moore have both pledged their support for workers at the plant.

Following the first meeting of the taskforce on July 5, Mr Swinney said they were committed to "maintaining continuity of business" at the plant to deliver "a positive economic future for the workforce and community of Broxburn".

Mr Lochhead has said the closure would have implications for the wider Scottish community, particularly the pig sector and agricultural industry.

50-Mile Landslides Spotted on Saturn's Icy Moon

Long landslides spotted on Saturn's moon, Iapetus, could help provide clues to similar movements of material on Earth. Scientists studying the icy satellite have determined that flash heating could cause falling ice to travel 10 to 15 times farther than previously expected on Iapetus.

Extended landslides can be found on Mars and Earth, but are more likely to be composed of rock than ice. Despite the differences in materials, scientists believe there could be a link between the long-tumbling debris on all three bodies.

"We think there's more likely a common mechanism for all of this, and we want to be able to explain all of the observations," lead scientist Kelsi Singer of Washington University told SPACE.com.

Rock-hard ice

Giant landslides stretching as far as 50 miles (80 kilometers) litter the surface of Iapetus. Singer and her team identified 30 such displacements by studying images taken by NASA's Cassini spacecraft. [Photos: Latest Saturn Photos from NASA's Cassini Orbiter]

Composed almost completely of ice, Iapetus already stands out from other moons. While most bodies in the solar system have rocky mantles and metallic cores, with an icy layer on top, scientists think Iapetus is composed almost completely of frozen water. There are bits of rock and carbonaceous material that make half the moon appear darker than the other, but this seems to be only a surface feature.

Ice on Iapetus is different from ice found on Earth. Because the moon's temperature can get as low as 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius), the moon's ice is very hard and very dry.

"It's more like what we experience on Earth as rock, just because it's so cold," Singer said.

Slow-moving ice creates a lot of friction, so when the ice falls from high places, scientists expected that it would behave much like rock on Earth does. Instead, they found that it traveled significantly farther than predicted.

How far a landslide runs is usually related to how far it falls, Singer explained. Most of the time, debris of any type loses energy before traveling twice the distance it fell from. But on Iapetus, the pieces of ice move 20 to 30 times as far as their falling height.

Flash heating could be providing that extra push.

Faster and farther

Flash heating occurs when material falls so fast that the heat doesn't have time to dissipate. Instead, it stays concentrated in small areas, reducing the friction between the sliding objects and allowing them to travel faster and farther than they would under normal conditions.

"They're almost acting more like a fluid," Singer said.

On Iapetus, falling material has a good chance of reaching great speeds because there are a number of great heights to fall from. The moon hosts a ring of mountains around its bulging equator that can tower as high as 12 miles (20 km), and the longest run-outs discovered are associated with the ridge and with impact-basin walls.

Scientists think that the landslides are relatively recent, and could have been triggered by impacts in the last billion years or so.

"You don't see a lot of small craters on the landslide material itself," Singer said, although the surrounding terrain boasts evidence of bombardment. Over time, landscapes tend to be dotted by falling rocks, so the less cratered a surface is, the younger it is thought to be. [Photos of Saturn's Moons]

Resting on the ridges and walls, the material gradually becomes more unstable. Close impacts could set them off, but powerful, distant impacts reverberating through the ice could also send them tumbling.

The research was published in the July 29 issue of the journal Nature Geoscience.

Connecting ice and rock

Differences in gravity, atmosphere and water content make landslides seen on Iapetus difficult to duplicate in the laboratory. But the fact that they happen on different types of worlds makes it more likely that the mechanism triggering the extended slide is dependent on things unique to either environment.

"We have them on Iapetus, Earth and Mars," Singer said. "Theoretically, they should be very similar."

Singer pointed out the implications for friction within fault lines, which produces earthquakes. As plates on Earth move, the rocks within a fault snag on each other, until forces drag them apart. But sometimes, the faults slip farther than scientists can explain based on their understanding of friction. If flash heating occurs within the faults, it could explain why the two opposing faces slide the way they do, and provoke a better understanding of earthquakes.

In such cases, flash heating would cause minerals to melt and reform, producing an unexpected material around the faults. Some such materials have been identified at the base of long landslides on Earth.

"If something else is going on, like flash heating, or something making [the material] have a lower coefficient of friction, this would affect any models that use the coefficient of friction," Singer said.

Thoughts on new relationships post D - Talk About Marriage

Going Through Divorce or Separation A new addition to our forums, a place to go for sharing and support for those going through divorce and separation.

OK so firstly I am 44 and have two children (3 and 6). Now in thinking about another relationship, down the line, it seems that there would be the following options: 1) A woman who is also divorced but has kids and does not want any more 2) A woman who is single but does not want kids 3) A woman who is single and wants kids I might add that the age bracket I would look at is 30-35, maybe up to 40 (for various reasons). Now, basically, my current thinking is that I have two kids, and while I like kids, I would not like to start the cycle all again. I feel the time now is for me to be there for *myself* as well as my kids. But, that seems to exclude a lot of potential females who would be in my target age category but, if single, would probably want kids of their own. It seems irresponsible to become interested in someone of that category, and even fall in love, only to come up against this issue which is deal breaker. On the other hand, limiting one self to women who already have children, puts things in another perspective and category all together. Creating a new family with a new mate is one thing, while "inheriting/combining" a family with a new mate is another. Also by the way, having kids with another mate, effectively closes the window on R down the line, if that is what you are after.... Anyway, as I started out with, I know these are not thoughts that I should be troubling myself with at this time, but they are there anyway so I thought I would share them. I suppose in the end life will decide, i.e. if you just let life to happen. But at the same time, at least in my view, there is at least something to be said in favor of some advance consideration/thinking/planning. Your thoughts?

Be honest about that from the beginning. Yes, I suppose once a relationship gets/looks serious, that should be stated (but I suppose for many women who are without kids and who's biological clock is about to explode that would be a deal breaker. Quote: If you don't want a blended family at your age, well...maybe plan on being single for the rest of your life. No, not planning on being single for the rest of my life... But the context/construct of the next relationship does come ti mind. Quote: Blended families can work. They make take some adjustment, but don't write off someone with children. You wouldn't want a woman to write you off because of your children, would you? True

Basically what I am thinking, but, and I am ashamed to say this, I would want someone who is young enough to support my desire and self image (I look much younger and feel younger also). Quote: #2 - there is reason she doesn't want kids. Yes, all things being equal, have considered this also. Quote: #3 - Do you really want to start a new family at age 44? Basically no, I would not. But I suppose never say never, right? What if you meet the woman of your dreams?

Quote: That being said, put a lot of thought into what *you*want. I suppose this is obvious but so very true. Again I would just go back to the practical aspect which is, if you find someone nice, date her, but make it clear that you don't plan on any children (or actually, don't date her if you don't want to end up with a dilemma in the first place). And second thought, if you feel she is serious and you don't feel the same way (about kids that is), I think the amicable thing to do would be to let her go and seek a proper mate who has the same wishes. Well who knows, easy to say, but who knows what life may through your way! Anyway, and I digress, it is clear to me now that I am NOT in the position to date and have to take a lot of time out to be with me, my process and my thoughts (which does not mean I should not socialize, I want to, just not give anyone an illusion that something is what it is not. And by the way, no, I don't want sec for now thank you very much... ha ha).

If I ever dated again I'd likely go for someone in their late 30's even though I'm 46. I look younger than I am, am in great shape and all my friends are 31-40 now. Quote: Basically no, I would not. But I suppose never say never, right? What if you meet the woman of your dreams? I'm female but still I do NOT want anymore kids. Lets assume that I were physically capable of getting pregnant would I do it for the man of my dreams? NOT no but hell no. LOL I'm not doing diapers, middle of the night feedings, potty training again. I just got all 3 of mine in school - my youngest is 6 so no way would I start over at this age.
