L.A. grand jury issues subpoenas in Web suicide case

Cyber-bullying has become an increasingly creepy reality, with the anonymity of video games, message boards and other online forums offering an outlet for cruel taunts.

Former federal prosecutor Brian C. Lysaght said such a prosecution would be "not as much of a reach as it might appear at first glance." In recent years, he said, Congress has passed a series of statutes that make criminal conduct involving the Internet federal offenses.

Color cosmetics firms seek out latest trends

Euromonitor said the Asia-Pacific countries are likely to follow Eastern Europe and Latin America in delivering high rates of growth.China's color cosmetics market is forecast to expand by almost $600m between 2006 and 2011 while India is expected to grow the most in percentage terms.Growth is also expected in the mature markets with annual growth for Western Europe forecast to be around 2 percent.The mature markets are being driven by the spread of the naturals trend, which has moved from skin and body care products into color cosmetics.Euromonitor said mineral make-up is spearheading the movement because it provides natural sunscreen, long-lasting coverage and is suitable for use on sensitive skin.Bare Escentuals was described as a pioneer in bringing mineral make-up to the market although the big name brands and private labels have now followed suit.However, Euromonitor said retailers are increasingly willing to stock color cosmetics from small companies that are often producing innovative products that tempt consumers away from the big brands.
