Adventurer Fossett declared dead
The 63-year-old went missing on September 3 after taking off in a single-engined plane from a Nevada airstrip. His wife had asked for him to be declared legally dead. The judge heard testimony from Mr Fossett's wife, Peggy, and a family friend, as well as from a search-and-rescue expert, before deciding there was sufficient evidence to declare him dead. Mr Fossett earned millions of dollars trading futures and options on Chicago exchanges. Attorneys representing his estate had filed a petition to have him declared legally dead so his assets could be distributed according to his will. Mr Fossett was a record-setting balloonist, sailor and pilot who completed non-stop flights around the world. Mrs Fossett's lawyer, Michael LoVallo, said: "It was very sad and at first she hoped and sort-of envisioned him walking down the road the next day with another story to tell.
Working to end Israeli apartheid
For a long time, they focused on Israels military occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. As problematic and significant as the occupation is, it fails to capture the breadth of what lasting peace and justice require. The discourse of ending the occupation does not address the refugees stemming from 1948 and 1967, discrimination against the one million Palestinian citizens of Israel, water access rights, the Golan Heights, and the future of Jerusalem. One term that captures Israels ethno-religious supremacy, as well as its infrastructure of segregation against the Palestinians, is apartheid. It captures Israels essence. Like apartheid South Africa, Israel is a regional rogue that shows no regard for the sovereignty of the surrounding states, nor the people whose land it took.

Dallas soap opera heads to Carolina
Key stat: Cowboys lead NFC in total offense with 378.5 yards per game. Fantasy factor: Cowboys' Marion Barber, who rushed for two TDs in the last meeting, is averaging 4.9 yards per carry and may have to carry load. DeAngelo Williams, who ran for a 35-yard score in upset of Seahawks last week, doing more for Panthers. The Buzz: Tony Romo's thumb injury may limit Cowboys' offense, but Panthers going with undrafted rookie Matt Moore at quarterback. Cowboys need to at least stay even with Packers to get home field throughout NFC playoffs. The Pick: Cowboys 24, Panthers 10. - Terry Bannon Chicago Tribune .

In March, Forrester said an internal probe into its past stock-option practices found option grants, mostly between 1998 and 2004, that had exercise prices below the fair value of the common stock on the appropriate dates. That investigation and restatement cost the company $668,000 last year. Chief Executive George Colony said the company is "pleased" with 2007 performance, which he said exceeded the company's expectations. Forrester's full-year profit rose 6.7 percent to $18.9 million, or 80 cents per share, from $16.1 million, or 77 cents per share. Revenue rose 16.9 percent to $212.1 million from $181.5 million. Adjusted 2007 profit rose 22.5 percent to $27.6 million, or $1.16 per share, from $22.5 million, or 98 cents per share. Forrester shares rose $3.36, or 14.2 percent, to $26.96 in afternoon trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
Dollar - How Low Will The Fed Go?
Nevertheless, the yen may have an opportunity to gain this week, as risk aversion trends remain the primary driver of the low-yielding currency. As a result, traders should keep an eye on global stock markets, as a plummet in equities could push USDJPY back down towards 109.00. – TB Can Cable Hold Above Critical Support at 2.02? Last week we questioned whether the Bank of England would opt to cut rates in December, and indeed, they did. The BOE cut rates by 25bp to 5.50 percent for the first time in more than two years, in line with what futures markets were pricing in but against consensus estimates of economists polled by Bloomberg News. In the bank's policy statement, the MPC noted that signs had emerged that growth has started to slow, and that downside risks were mounting as "conditions in financial markets have deteriorated and a tightening in the supply of credit to household and businesses is in train." Meanwhile, the BOE judged that inflation would hold above target in the short-term, but that a slowing of demand growth would pull inflation "back to target in the medium term." The minutes of this meeting will be published on December 19, but with Cable bouncing from critical support at 2.02 following the decision, the markets have judged the BOE's statement as somewhat neutral as the MPC is not likely to continue easing monetary policy in January given inflation risks.
