Martha Stewart, Macys, and J.C. Penney to Talk About Their Problems

The three weeks that New York Supreme Court Judge Jeffrey Oing set aside to address Macy's Inc.'s and J.C. Penney Co. Inc.'s dispute over selling Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc. merchandise came to a close yesterday, and the parties still couldn't reach a settlement. So Oing "called for a period of mediation." (Sadly, not meditation, as we originally read it.) Martha, Macy's, and Penneys have another month to come to an agreement or it's back to trial, and until the April 8 deadline, Penneys plans to keep M. Stew's products off its shelves.
