New Seasons' Legal Twists

Yet another twist in this Story of New Seasons being dragged kicking and screaming into the middle of the FTC fight over Whole Foods take over of Wild Oats, it looks like they have come to an agreement on the subpoena's ordering New Seasons to give over their financial records to ther competitor on a case not directly related to them.  The type of information they wanted, I think, would have spelt doom for this small local chain.  But now it appears that they have won a compromise over just how much information they have to give over.

Bettie Page

I been thinking about Bettie Page ever since I heard that she was in the hospital with a heart attack at the age of 85.  And while her story is complicated and convoluted.  Her image has become iconic in American pop culture.  For a women who did, what was taboo photography modeling for her time.  She will always be remembered as a young vivacious, and self-confident woman who helped bring in the sexual revolution of the 60's.  I wish her well and a speedy recovery from her health issues.
