Doe v. Fankhauser, 2010 WL 4702295 (N.D. Ohio, November 30, 2010)
County clerk immune from law suit over posting court document on government website.
Plaintiff Jane Doe was the victim of physical and sexual abuse when she was a minor. In the criminal case against the perpetrator, Doe's name was redacted, and she and her family were allegedly assured that her name would not be publicly disclosed. But someone in the county clerk's website scanned some documents from the criminal case that had Doe's name in them and posted those electronic documents on the county's website, making them publicly available.
So Doe sued the county clerk for violation of Doe's constitutional due process rights and for common law invasion of privacy. The clerk moved to dismiss. The court granted the motion.
The court found that the clerk was protected by judicial immunity. Judges and court personnel who perform judicial and quasi-judicial functions are absolutely immune from suits for damages arising out of the performance of official judicial acts. In this case, the court found that the clerk's actions in permitting the documents to be scanned and posted required a type of judgment closely related to the judicial process and therefore deserving of immunity.
Interestingly, the court held that the clerk was entitled to immunity from suit regardless of how careless she may have been. There was no loss of immunity merely because a mistake was made and the original document, without redaction, was made available to the public. "Where there is immunity, it applies even in the face of allegations of bad faith, malice, or reckless indifference."
Makes you feel confident that the government is watching out for your privacy, doesn't it?

The Tomb Raider franchise has had its up's and down's over the years, and now it seems they have gotten some of it right. Tomb Raider: Underworld from Eidos Interactive is a huge game, graphically beautiful and full of challenging puzzles just like you would expect from a Tomb Raider game. Laura Croft is beautiful, athletic, witty and clever just like you expect. Everything seems to be in order right? Wrong. Well, not totally wrong. Let me explain.
I'll start with the things that are wrong with the game, and end with the things that are very right with the game. This game is huge. Some of the levels are down right gigantic. This might not seem like and bad thing, and normally I would agree. The problem is there are no "road maps" to nudge you in the right direction and I found myself wandering around not really knowing what to do next. The camera that follows Laura has been a problem for years, and Eidos still hasn't fixed this. I don't know if anyone ever will. There are times when I felt sick from the camera jumping around, bumping into walls and generally making it difficult to enjoy the scope of the game.
Then there is the scope of the game. What is Tomb Raider? Is it an adventure game? Sure. A puzzle game? Yes, that too. A platformer? Sort of, but a sophisticated one for sure. A shooter? Well, it would seem. Do I have to collect a bunch of stuff? Yes. And that's the biggest problem for me. The game is trying to be so many things, that they tend to water it all down. As a shooter, Tomb Raider: Underworld falls flat. Hold the targeting button and pull the trigger and enemies are taken care of. No skill needed. I played through the game and on one level, found everything. I have no idea still, why I bothered. But, instead of focusing on the shortcomings, let's check out why you want this game.
Tomb Raider: Underworld is one of the better Tomb Raider games I have played. That being said, I have not played all of them, and am not an authority on Laura Croft in any way. This game is fun and challenging. The puzzles are difficult and beautifully planned out, but not so difficult that you will be searching the Internets for what to do next. Graphically, Underworld is gorgeous. In HD the views in this game will blow your mind. I honestly found myself just stopping to look at the views on several of the levels. And lets face it, the bottom line is, Laura Croft is hot and kicks ass! Sometimes frustrating but overall enjoyable.

Newtown shooting report, many questions
The season's first snowfall was gone from the ground when Inspector John Mahoney arrived at the Troop A barracks in Southbury early Tuesday afternoon for a meeting with detectives from the State Police Western District Major Crime Squad.
In his hands were five thick manila envelopes, sealed shut, each holding a copy of the report that Mahoney's boss, Danbury State's Attorney Stephen J. Sedensky III, had been laboring over for months, long before the detectives had even completed their investigation into the Dec. 14, 2012 shootings at Newtown's Sandy Hook Elementary School, an investigation unprecedented in size and scope in state history.
Inside the low-slung, brown brick building overlooking Interstate 84, the tall, curly-haired inspector handed the envelopes to a detective for delivery to state police commander Col. Dan Stebbins and other department brass.
Sometime later this month, the contents of those envelopes are expected to be made public and distributed to media from around the world, who have been trying to ferret out details of the investigation since shortly after the first frantic 911 call was made from the school.
"There are not going to be any theories," one investigator said.
A draft of the 40-page report, which is expected to have hundreds of pages of appendices attached, was presented to family members of the victims at a meeting on Thursday. They were allowed 20 minutes to review its grim findings, but they were not allowed to keep it and were asked not to discuss it, relatives told Hearst Connecticut Newspapers.
Many of the questions reporters and the public have been asking for months will be answered, according to sources familiar with the report and law enforcement experts involved in other major investigations in the past.
But the biggest question -- motive -- will not be among them. We may never know what prompted Adam Lanza, an ultra-reclusive 20-year-old with an obsession for firearms, violent video games and a fixation on mass murders and those who perpetrated them, to kill his mother, then blast his way into the school he briefly attended as a child and systematically mow down 20 first-graders and six staff members before ending his own life.
"The `a-ha' moment won't get answered," said David Schroeder a former investigator and now assistant dean at the University of New Haven. "I don't think you can answer that ... even if you piece together a life post mortem."
Piece by piece
In the more than 11 months since that day, a number of possible motives have been advanced for the deadliest mass shooting at an elementary school in the nation's history.
Family members and others who have spoken to the media have suggested Lanza was seeking retribution for bullying he suffered when he attended Sandy Hook years earlier; he was angry with his mother, Nancy, 53, for thwarting his ambitions of enlisting in the military; he was upset that she was thinking about moving from their Yogananda Street home or was considering having him committed to a psychiatric facility.
But the report may not address any of that, said Peter Valentin, a retired state police detective who compiled hundreds of reports when he worked with the major crime squad.
"Motivation is way beyond us," said Valentin. "Nothing we ever encountered could make sense out of this situation. How can you envision any set of circumstances that would give a person rise to do something like this?"
The complete document is the work of hundreds of investigators, along with federal prosecutors who drafted search warrants and agents from the FBI; U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Marshal's Service. There are also reports from area police, firefighters, emergency medical technicians and medical examiners who responded to the scene.
"This was a unique situation," said Robert Paquette, a retired Danbury police chief and FBI supervisor. "There was no scorecard, no game plan to conduct an investigation like this."
In addition to motivation, there won't be any recommendations and probably no conclusions.
"That's not the purpose of the report," said Peter Massey, a retired Hamden detective and now head of the undergraduate forensics program at UNH. "That's left up to the politicians, experts, commissions, committees and society."
Mental health questions
But there will be plenty of detail to feed discussions and draw inferences.
Questions of Lanza's mental health could be confirmed by medical, psychological or school records that are expected to be included in the report. Did he have Asperger's syndrome, a form of autism, as books found in his mother's bedroom suggest? Had he ever had any kind of counseling? Was he taking any medication?
Lanza's elementary years were marked by changes of schools and home-schooling by his mother before he enrolled at Newtown High School, where those who remember him described Lanza as being extremely withdrawn with few, if any, friends. He eventually left high school and earned a GED before attending Western Connecticut State University part-time, but never graduated.
When state police searched his home after the shooting, they found that Lanza had been compiling information about other mass murders, including Anders Breivik, a Norwegian man who shot and killed 77 people in 2011, most of them young people attending a summer camp, and corresponded over the Internet with at least one other person, a young man in South Carolina, who shared his interest.
Authorities interviewed the South Carolina man, but determined that Lanza had not discussed his plans to attack the school, according to an investigator.
The discovery led to speculation that Lanza, who spent hours playing video games in the basement of his home -- moving characters into position to kill animated opponents in Call of Duty, or across a scorched earth in Gears of War, or as a janitor on a rampage in Kindergarten Killers -- targeted the school in an effort to top Breivik's total.
Powerful digital evidence
Abe Baggili, a computer forensic specialist, professor at University of New Haven and one of the first people to determine that smartphones could track a person's movements, said the digital trail Lanza left behind would likely inform the report.
"Many of the reports describe how he was a computer genius and an avid video game player," Baggili said. "Do you know of any computer genius or avid video game expert who has just one system, one or two devices? I don't."
There is potential evidence in every electronic device he had, whether it be smartphones, game consoles, laptops, iPad, iPod, or USB sticks. Every device would be studied, he said.
"More than 80 percent of all cases have some sort of digital evidence associated with them," Baggili said. Baggili has published a method in which digital evidence can be extracted from iPhones via iTunes. Now he is directing a research project aimed at developing a psychological profile of people based on the words they used in messages found on their devices.
"Digital evidence is very powerful," he said. "You can determine what sites were visited, when they were visited, how often and how long they were visited. You can uncover what was stored or deleted on the computer. You could find who was contacted, how often and what was said."
So Baggili and others believe the report could include a history of Lanza's relevant website activity, online conversations and text messages.
Before leaving his house Dec. 14, Lanza tried to destroy the hard drive from his computer, but that doesn't mean information has not be recovered from it.
"Of course, it depends on how hard he hit it," Baggili said.
Even if the outside case was shattered, the information-containing platters, which resemble compact discs, may have been spared. If damaged, the platters could still be reconstructed and read with the right equipment, he said, noting the FBI and Defense Department have restored hard drives damaged in bomb blasts.
The Lanza arsenal
The report should also include information on the array of firearms, swords and 1,400 rounds of ammunition found in the Lanza home. All the weapons, including the Bushmaster semi-automatic rifle that Lanza used at the school and the Glock pistol with which he killed himself, were registered and owned by his mother, a gun enthusiast who encouraged his interest in shooting.
Investigators have been tracing the weapons used, where they were made, where they were purchased and by whom, and compiling a history of Lanza's training on the weapons and his visits to shooting ranges with his mother, sources said.
Investigators were also reportedly intrigued by cellphone records indicating Lanza paid several visits to the Danbury Fair mall in spring 2012, months before the shooting, behavior they considered unusual since he rarely left home.
They obtained security videos from the mall in an attempt to determine whether he was meeting with anyone, but it's unknown at this point whether anything relevant to the investigation was found.
Police filled some two dozen large cardboard boxes with items removed from the home, at least a half-dozen containing documents and other paperwork, the remainder holding video games, controllers, computer accessories, weapons, ammunition and other objects they believed at the time could have a bearing on the case.
"A lot of the stuff had no value, but you take it because you don't know at the time if it might be valuable in the future," the investigator said. Those items will eventually be turned over to the executor of Nancy Lanza's estate.
A Sandy Hook pin
Perhaps the most heart-rending remnants from the long investigation are clothing worn by the victims when they died.
Troopers spent their own money to "launder and re-launder" them, removing bloodstains before packaging them up in case the families wanted them back, the investigator said.
Many did, but about a half-dozen sets of clothes remain unclaimed and will go into storage with the other evidence, should those families eventually change their minds, he said.
Symbolizing the end of the long investigation, Stebbins and a number of other high-ranking state police commanders went to the Southbury barracks on Wednesday to present the first of the specially-designed Sandy Hook pins to the more than 260 state police officers, nearly one-quarter of the state police force, who were involved in the investigation.
The enamel pin, a solid bar bearing the now-familiar green and white Sandy Hook school colors, is worn on the trooper's breast pocket -- a somber coda to a long investigation.

Manxmouse is a novel written by Paul Gallico, first published in 1968. Subtitled The Mouse Who Knew No Fear, it concerns a sentient mouse-like figurine who has a series of epic adventures.[1]
Behind the scenes
- Harry Potter series author J. K. Rowling praised this novel in a newspaper interview, stating "That's a great book. Gallico manages the fine line between magic and reality so skilfully, to the point where the most fantastic events feel plausible."[2] In a 1999 interview, she described it as a "funny, magical, very imaginative book", but noted that she was not sure if it was still in print. (As of 2012, the most recent printing was an Essential Modern Classics release in paperback, with an introduction and endorsement by Michael Bond, author of the Paddington books series.)
- A creature in this book known as a "Clutterbumph" may have served as in the inspiration for the Boggart in the Harry Potter series. This creature is described as follows: "...something that is not there until one imagines it. And as it is always someone different who will be doing the imagining, no two Clutterbumphs are ever exactly alike. Whatever it is that frightens one the most and that is just about the worst thing one can think of, that is what a Clutterbumph looks like."

Congratulations to Dan Le Batard, who you say has the most terrifying ESPN: The Magazine mugshot. It was a tight race, with Le Batard — who was joking about the mugshots and this poll on his radio show yesterday, quoting from several of our great commenters — edging out Stuart Scott (who actually got our vote).
We've heard that even the magazine's staffers recognize how horrible the mugshots are; they're going to be gone from the next issue. We suggest they just use an Etch-a-Sketch this time.

This game had nothing. It was dead on arrival. Maybe there were some moments—Brent Musberger salivating all over A.J. McCarron's girlfriend or McCarron getting shoved by his own center come to mind. But there was not a single entertaining moment until Nick Saban grimaced through his Gatorade bath. His entire body just sighs goddammit. It was such a perfectly Saban thing to do, you had to chuckle at his concentration and ability to stay in character.
Alabama put 14 points up in each of the first two quarters while Notre Dame just sort of watched. Halfway through the third quarter, Alabama had scored 35 unanswered points. It was an ugly night for the Irish, who got steamrolled by Offensive MVP Eddie Lacy (140 yards, 1 touchdown) and T.J. Yeldon (108 yards, 1 touchdown).
Saban, on the other hand, has now won three of the last four BCS Championships and everyone is tripping over themselves to call his Alabama tenure a "dynasty." If there is any moment to release whatever joy resides within you, being the undisputed best at your chosen profession would be it. But instead of being excited or startled by the cold, wet stuff suddenly all over him, Nick Saban is experiencing a minor inconvenience.
Like the rest of us, though, he had probably been expecting it since the second quarter.

"We have received 11 dead bodies and several injured people," said doctor Semi Jamali, head of the emergency department at Jinnah Hospital in Karachi.
The target was an election candidate of ANP (Awami National Party). He was travelling in his car when the bomb exploded," senior police official told.
The target of the attack, Amanullah Mehsud, escaped unhurt, police official said.
Taliban spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan claimed responsibility.
"We proudly claim responsibility for this attack, we carried it out and will carry out more of the same," Ehsan said of the first deadly attack on polling day.
The election marks the first democratic transition of power in the nuclear-armed state but the run-up to the polls has been marred by Taliban attacks that have killed more than 120 people.
More than 600,000 security personnel are being deployed nationwide and around half the estimated 70,000 polling stations have been declared at risk of attack, many of them in parts of Balochistan province and the northwest.
A senior PPP official said party chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari -- the son of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto -- would not vote because of threats to his life.
On Friday, a candidate for the provincial assembly in Sindh was shot dead along with two supporters in Karachi.

Diego Arria's memoir
Certainly, Diego Arria must start his book with a summary of his life, conveniently forgotten by the Chavez regime but also by most inside the opposition. His was a stellar career in politics and international diplomacy and Mr. Arria has the merit to summarize it as briefly as possible in the first third of the book, a little bit like an extensive visiting card that gives him the credentials to write about the current situation of Venezuela. Yet we gather the "Arria Formula" used often in UN conflict resolution; or more importantly for today's Venezuela, we are remembered that in 1998 there were plenty of people that already saw the potential Chavez election as an oncoming catastrophe for Venezuela. Diego Arria reminds us that there were plenty of now forgotten debates then, such as the one he participated with Hiram Gaviria, then promoting Chavez election and now one of his opponents. Diego Arria had already enough experiences to know better but those were the days of Cassandras and he was one, ignored if not ridiculed but now so bitterly proven right. Still, we should note that Mr. Arria insists that his book is not a "I told you so".
The second part of the book is the real matter at hand, the demand made on Venezuela to face its time of truth as the title of the book may be translated. That part covers his campaign for the primaries and the opinion he had on Venezuela's situation prior October 7. I presume that he can start preparing an appendix for a second edition with what happened since October 7. But I digress.
Arria's return to Venezuela (which he never quite left, just had a temporary job in New York) started in 2006 with Rosales presidential campaign of which he does not hold fond memories. But it served him well in getting to know the new political class of Venezuela and how they were influenced by Chavez in spite of their better judgement. Then things turned ugly in 2008 when in a El Universal interview Arria was explicit in his assessment that an international court of justice was in the cards for Chavez. He had crossed the line and his life changed. First, he lost his family farm, La Carolina, a clear revenge from Chavez. I did cover in this blog these days extensively, but what mattered more in a way is that Diego Arria became so involved in the fight against Chavez, the need for the sake of the country to get rid of the man that was destroying it materially and spiritually, that Arria went as far as throwing his hat in the opposition primary ring in 2012. And he does not stop at February 2012: this book is a new stage and we can be assured that there is more to come.
To start the second half of his memoir Arria tells us that as long as we do not understand what the real problems of the country are and as long as we refuse to talk about that white elephant we will never be able to do anything. Like yours truly, he is stating what the thinking portion of us sees but that too many of us prefer to ignore in the vain hope that there is a "peaceful and unified way" to take us out of that nightmare. There is none, and Diego Arria writes the best case around for this position.
If anything Arria is consistent. He does not sway from his initial truth, that Venezuela needs a transition government to take it away from the current dictatorial nature it holds. In this he keeps at loggerhead with the opposition leadership which seems to believe even today that a Chavez light candidate is the ticket. And thus Arria is willingly and willfully in a sort of political ostracism. Which is as well as it gave him the time for this books where he offers his recipes.
The portion of the book on the primary campaign is in a way the most interesting to read today, now that the strategy of the MUD has so badly floundered. It is also to be noted that it was all written BEFORE October 7 and its aftermath and thus the prescience of Diego Arria is all the more to be praised. One is tempted to write that if Arria's primary campaign was so annoying to so many it was because deep inside them they were afraid he was right. It is small comfort today that he has been proven right as the MUD and opposition leadership have all the trouble in the world to retain some credibility.
If anything I will disagree with Diego Arria on two points. He still remains confident that there are enough honest military left so that there will be a reasonably peaceful transition when the time comes. I think he is wrong, that the corruption inside the armed forces goes deep. Also he has more faith in the Venezuelan people than I do. Then again this book was written before we knew to what extent the Venezuelan people was willing to sell his vote, to buckle under blackmail.
At any rate, this is a must read book as it is the bluntest assessment of the Venezuelan situation and in retrospective the best way to explain why in the end the campaign of Capriles failed and will keep failing as long as the political premises are not re-evaluated seriously. I personally doubt it will happen soon as the opposition leadership keeps pretending we are in a democracy and prefers to wait for Chavez death.
La Hora de la Verdad can be found in Amazon Kindle edition, in iTunes, or in most Venezuelan independent bookstores. In Spanish, 222 pages, plenty of pictures. Also, Diego Arria's web site offers some of the videos and documents mentioned in the book.

Why is Diego Arria all of a sudden the big hero? He was as corrupt as they come in his time. Maybe by today's standard he is too small a fish to fry, but he is one of the responsible ones why there is a Chavez in Venezuela.ReplyDelete
First, whatever Arria may have stolen nothing was ever proven. Second, if Arria had been such a thief I doubt very much he would have made the UN career he did or he would have dared to come back to Venezuela for politics. Third, I am sure that if Chavez had anything on Arria he would have used it long ago. Fourth, even if we accept your premise without question, whatever the 4th republic stole is mere child's game compared to what is stolen these days. Fifth, he is not responsible as others for Chavez for the mere reason that he was not in the gang that released him from jail, something he always opposed according to his book.Delete
I suggest you read his book before you write such a searing comment, or at least substantiate what you wrote. And if you think that the current crop is lily white, think again.

No real democracies with an average IQ below 90 exist in the world today.
The measured average IQ for Venezuela is 84.
Even if IQ is only 60-80 percent hereditary, what hope can there be for a country where one third of the births are from teenage mothers?

OT: I do agree that dysgenic fertility is a long term concern of humanity, not just in intelligence, but through accumulating treatable (but expensive) medical conditions which would normally have prevented reproduction. I myself am the carrier for such a disorder have made sure my children have no chance of expressing it. Of any country, the Chinese medical establishment has accepted this truth to the greatest degree, but developed countries in general are making increasing use of Amniocentesis and genetic planning. Of course for all of Hugo Chavez's claimed concern for mankind, he could never be bothered to even consider a family planning program.
Re. water distribution...The group of large negative outliers includes 17 countries: Barbados, Belize, Botswana, the Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt, Gabon, Gambia, Jamaica, Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia, Qatar, St Kitts & Nevis, St Lucia, Sao Tome & Principe and South Africa.Delete
It is significant that several of these countries below the national IQ level of 85 have benefitted from foreign investments, technologies, and management. These are the Caribbean tourist countries (Barbados, Belize, Jamaica, St Kitts & Nevis and St Lucia), oil exporting countries (Gabon and Qatar), as well as Botswana and South Africa, which were previously ruled by their white minorities.
Fidel Castro is a genius: he turns the Cubans with high IQs into highly trained workers and rents them as slave labor to other countries, thereby killing three birds with one shot: the problem of re-distributing the evolutionary advantages of high IQs, the problem of having high IQ rebels inside Cuba and the problem of having a population with a high average IQ and potential to become democratic.ReplyDelete
This post is so illustrative of clear thinking that it is hard to discuss too many details.
One thing I would like to comment on is , is that it is important to value the contribution of competent leaders made in the 4th Republic( without trying to minimize its many mistakes), and the ways in which it was a superior system to the horror we have now.
Unless we are able to do this , the only available option is going to be Chavismo Lite which will undoubtedly repeat the same short comings of Chavismo with possibly only a few marginal improvements and the tendency to slide back into the heavier aspects of Chavismo.
The younger generations who have not experienced of life before Chavez only hear the consensus of both Chavismo and the opposition,that what came before was as bad or even worse.The range of acceptable solutions will be severely limited.
Super right on when you say that we need to look at are the " whys" , but I have noticed a reluctance to do so.But it is common that most people would rather talk about " whats" and not "whys", even when it comes to their own personal lives.
One area where my own personal intuition agrees with Arria ( and I have no proof of this of course) is that I also feel that the military will not go against the people in any significant way.

Place 4 quarts water in a medium soup pot and bring to a boil. Trim the root of the onions slightly so that the onions stand up straight. Trim the top of the onion, removing about 1/4". Peel the onions and discard peel. Using a spoon or melon baller, scoop out the center of each onion, and set 1/4 cup aside. Place the onions in the boiling water and simmer for about 10 minutes or just until tender. Remove and place upside down on a cutting board to drain.

As it turned out, while I don't have the full text, the speech was easy enough to identify. McClung, a noted novelist and temperance campaigner, became involved in the Political Equality League in the effort to get women in Canada the right to vote. According to the CBC, "These women were repeatedly told that 'nice women' didn't want the vote. In 1914, the Conservative premier of Manitoba, Sir Rodmond Roblin, said women's suffrage 'would be a retrograde movement...it will break up the home'."
McClung and other suffragettes in the League convened a mock parliament that same year. Women sat on the stage, playing members of parliament, and a delegation of men presented a petition asking for men to get the right to vote. McClung, acting as the premier of the parliament, gave a stem-winder of a speech, using the same words, phrases and accusations that were made about women voters to debate whether men should have that right. She even began her remarks by complimenting the men on their appearance, much as a man might do to a delegation of women. This passage from "Should Men Vote?" gives you an idea of the speech's tongue-in-cheek approach:
Oh, no, man is made for something higher and better than voting...The trouble is that if men start to vote, they will vote too much. Politics unsettle men and unsettled men means unsettled bills, broken furniture, broken vows, and divorce. Men's place is on the farm....if men were to get the vote, who knows what would happen? It's hard enough to keep them home now!McClung, already a frequent speaker due to her temperance work, was described by many as a dynamic speaker with a ready wit, and this speech brought those qualities to the fore. The audience howled with laughter, and the speech was an overnight sensation. Suddenly, the campaign to get votes for women was popular, even fashionable--and Manitoba, along with some other provinces, granted women the right to vote in provincial elections in 1916. McClung later served in the legislative assembly in Alberta. Here's what you can learn from this famous speech:
- Use humor to sound confident: It takes confidence to use humor, which can so often backfire--and using humor with skill in a speech makes the speaker look extra-confident. In this case, McClung's approach allowed her to avoid looking defensive, anxious and critical, as she might have done if she'd chosen a less humorous approach.
- Turn your opponent's words back against him: In this speech, her goal was to show that objections to votes for women made little sense. Using her opponent's oft-repreated dire predictions and insinuations against him was a stroke of genius. When you have the chance to do this, the tactic can make your case for you.
- Have fun with your speaking: By all accounts, McClung delivered these remarks in an over-the-top style, emphasizing the warnings about "nice" men not voting and making the dire predictions sound extra ominous--a cue for the audience to have fun with it, too. Leavening the serious issue with entertainment value didn't hurt the cause a bit.
This CBC interview with Beatrice Brigden, who saw the mock parliament when she was a young girl, notes that the session was "uproariously funny." You'll see footage from suffrage protests of the period to get some of the flavor of this famous speech:

The Game is Rigged
May 8, 2009
This game of life is rigged. It's just that we don't give a great deal of thought to how it's rigged, but it is nonetheless.
The truth is hidden in plain sight.
Here is one way it is designed. Life is set up so that "the truth will set you free." (1) We can see that even from the smallest of events.
Some days ago I left my bag on the bus and I was searching for the name of the feeling I was experiencing at that moment. A near miss would not set me free. It has to be exact. (Try it and see.)
Shame? No, I experienced no release. Guilt? No, no release yet. Try again. Regret? Yes! I experienced a release of tension. It just clicked into place. The truth had indeed set me free.
We can make all kinds of statements and they will have no effect, but the truth will have the effect of setting us free. Why?
Because the game of life is set up that way. It is designed as a game of hide and seek. The truth (God) is hidden and finding the truth sets us free.
The trail to God is from greater to greater truth. Knowing the Son of God (also known as the Self, the Atman, the Pearl of great price, the Treasure buried in a field, the grain of mustard seed) is less than knowing God the Father (I and my Father are one but my Father is greater than I). (2)
Both are the truth, but the truth of the Father is greater than the truth of the Son (or, as Hindus would say, the knowledge of Brahman is greater than the knowledge of Atman).
We are led from truth to truth by the actions of the natural law and finding the greatest truth sets us free from the round of birth and death.
Here is another way it is rigged. You might say, "Give up desire if you want to know God." No, no, not all desires must be given up. The game is set up so that one desire alone is allowed. Said Sri Krishna:
I am all that a man may desire
Without transgressing
The law of his nature. (3)
God has set things up so that one thing only can be desired and that is Him (Her, It). The game is rigged.
The natural law lays out the manner in which the game is designed. Follow the natural law and the path leads back to God. Don't follow it and you are mired in complication and upset.
Some other natural laws include "what you sow, you reap" and "like attracts like."
Sure, we have free will. About as much as a tethered cow. For the rest, all is ruled by natural law. All is rigged.
And not only rigged. But we are rewarded with bliss for each step forward we take on the path. Tell the truth and you are set free from the pain and upset of the untruthful condition.
Tell a big enough truth and you are left in bliss.
Desire God with all your heart and all your mind and all your soul (that is the First Commandment, it is not?) (4) and you are drenched in bliss.
Not like bliss may be the final destination, but it makes the ride pretty enjoyable.
Throw in your cards. No use bargaining. It's all a huge set-up. We set up the game, agreed to play, and then we forgot.
But, under these wonderful energies, we are all beginning to remember. And now, instead of the train lurching, we begin to know how to work the toggles and switches. We begin to sense mastery and a bigger and bigger stage to play upon.
The formless God wanted to meet Himself (Herself, Itself). And so He split himself into numberless forms and set them the task of realizing Him. He created a game.
With a wonderful prize that every one of us is fated to win, one way or the other.
Win and we experience the infinite joy of re-uniting with Him. Lose and we experience the infinite joy of re-uniting with Him.
Footnotes(1) John 10:30 and 14:28.
(2) And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (Jesus, John 8:32.)
(3) Sri Krishna in Bhagavad-Gita, trans. Prabhavananda and Isherwood, 71.
(4) Deuteronomy 6:5.

Let $G$ be a profinite group which fits into the following short exact sequence: $$ 1\rightarrow N\rightarrow G \rightarrow K\rightarrow 1 $$ Assume that $N$ is a pro-$p$ group and that $K$ is topologically finitely generated. Note that $K$ acts naturally by conjugation on $N^{ab}$ and thus we way view $N^{ab}$ as a $\mathbf{Z}_p[[K]]$-module.
Q: If $N^{ab}$ is a finite type $\mathbf{Z}_p[[K]]$-module, does it follow that $G$ is topologically finitely generated?

Cinema chains have traditionally been valued at a multiple of EDITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation). Thus a cinema company with EBITDA of $50 million might be valued at an EV (enterprise value) of eight times EBITDA or $400 million. EV is the market capitalisation plus net debt so if in this example net debt amounted to $100 million, the company's equity would be valued at $300 million.
This valuation tool consists of an Excel spreadsheet with the latest full year financial data keyed in. Just update the share prices (most can be found on Google Finance) to see current EV/EBITDA valuation multiples. Click here to open it.

Engineered wood flooring is made up of a solid oak lamella or top layer, which is bonded to a plywood base. Because of its solid oak top layer, engineered wood flooring looks just like the real thing. Engineered wood flooring boasts three main advantages over solid wood. The first is its stability.
Engineered wood flooring offers a highly stable flooring solution with minimal shrinkage or expansion. Second, it offers real flexibility in its fixing method and third, it can normally be fitted over under floor heating.
Prime grade engineered wood flooring is probably the closest you'll get to AB grade solid oak flooring. Although any natural wood product will have knots as part of its nature, engineered prime grade wood flooring normally only has small knots (of less than 5mm in diameter). So, if you're looking for a floor which is uniform in colour and pretty much knot and burr-free, then engineered prime grade wood flooring could be your best choice. Available in various finishes; engineered prime grade wood flooring is reasonably rare and offers a really high quality flooring solution.
Enhancing modern and traditional interiors alike, the overall look achieved by the introduction of prime grade engineered wood flooring is a clean and unfussy style which allows the natural beauty of the timber to shine through to the max.

The travel schedule may have been hectic, but one benefit of the New York Rangers opening the 2011-2012 season in Europe is that it provided an opportunity for Sovietsky Sport reporter Lana Lapitski to chat with Rangers' third year center Artem Anisimov. Lapitsky caught up with the 23-year old Yaroslavl native prior to the Rangers' season opener in Stockholm, and again in the locker room following their 3-2 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Kings. The pair discussed a wide variety of topics, including the team's pre-season journey around Europe, living in New York, Sean Avery's demotion, and the Lokomotiv tragedy that rocked Anisimov's home town in early September. A translation of their conversation follows.
- I didn't think anyone from the Russian press would come! – Artem exclaimed when I approached him after morning practice.
- You're not tired from galloping across Europe?
- Who, me? No! I've visited four countries, played hockey — it's great! I got to see Prague, we were there for two days. After the day's work we walked around the [city] center. And we were lucky with the weather. I liked Goethenburg, too, we had a free day there.
- And what did you see?
- Nothing! The fog was too thick, - Anisimov laughs. Lundqvist took us to the best restaurant in the city, we had a great team dinner… Bratislava, we just went there and back.
Stockholm? I had already been there with Team Russia when we played in the Euro Hockey Tour before the 2010 World Championship. I love the old town with its ancient buildings, cobbled streets, small alleyways and cozy restaurants. You can't find anything like it in America. The country itself is only a little over 200 years old.
- And Zurich?
- I've been there many times. Every summer I train there with [Soviet hockey legend and former Lokomotiv junior coach Vladimir] Yurzinov.
- How did you manage to lose so badly to Zug?
- We were ready [for the game]. But we're used to North American hockey, and we met the Swiss on big ice. We tried to play a physical style, win dump-ins and face-offs. But they were able to cut us off. We made a couple stupid mistakes on defense, let in a couple goals and the game didn't go our way.
- How has the roster changed with the arrival of Brad Richards. He's a center, your competitor.
- Dubinsky moved to Richards' line. And I was put on a line with Fedotenko and Callahan.
- That's the second line?
- For us all four lines are of equal level. There's no difference where you play.
- What was your reaction to the fact that Sean Avery was released from the roster?
- I was surprised.
- Has the time passed for the agitator?
- That's not the issue. Sean is a very good person. A highly skilled, fast player. This decision was made by the coach. I'm just a hockey player.
The Rangers PR representative asks us to wrap it up. But I ask Artem a few last questions which must be asked of him as an alumni of Lokomotiv.
- In the summer you became a [restricted] free agent. Did your home town team call you [to come play for them]?
- Yes, there was such an offer.
- Do you not think, now, that someone from above protected you?
- It's possible. I try not to think about it. The guys can't be brought back. We must play for them, they will remain in our hearts forever.
- Did you go to Yaroslavl?
- I was at the funeral. It was terribly difficult, – Artem's eyes darken.
- I heard that the NHL wives have organized a charity fund to help the victims' families.
- Yes, they're selling specially designed bracelets. My girlfriend and I ordered some for ourselves. We're just waiting for them to be sent, – here Artem's voice fades away completely...
After the game [a 3-2 overtime loss to Los Angeles] Artem was extremely frustrated:
- I'm not happy with my play. I need to capitalize on my chances.
- You were even sent out on the penalty kill.
- I played on [the penalty kill] last season too. It's very good when you get more [playing] time. You don't get cold sitting on the bench… It's a shame that we messed up so much on defense, took so many unnecessary penalties. It's a good thing that Lundqvist bailed us out often.
- Who was rooting for you in the stands?
- Vladimir Yurzinov was at the game. He advises the Swedish team AIK. He came to me play. He often gives me advice. My girlfriend and parents couldn't come. They had trouble getting a visa.
- How is life in New York in general?
- It's a great city! In my free time I like to go to Broadway and watch musicals. It's cool when they sing live! I've been to the shows "Mamma Mia", "The Lion King", "The Phantom Opera"… And I really like the team. Everyone gets along with one another, helps each other. There's no differentiation between who's Russian, American or Slovak. 10-12 of us go out to dinners, a lot of team activities… Last season I roomed with Norwegian Mats Zuccarello on the road. And here's my friend — Anisimov points his neighbor in the locker room, Brian Boyle — we sit together everywhere, at the table, on the bus…
- Why are you not on Twitter and Facebook. Gino Malkin has already become Mr. Twitter.
- I don't like social networks. I think it's better to read a book or do something useful than to hang out on the Internet. I have friends who know my phone number. And I can always call them.
- Many stars have come to Stockholm. For example Teemu Selanne from Anaheim. Perhaps you met a childhood idol here?
- No. I always liked how Joe Sakic played in Colorado. And now I love to watch Pasha Datsyuk. He's the model center. Plays perfectly on defense or on the attack. Very good shot, golden hands.
- Do you follow Datsyuk's example?
- One should only be like oneself. But I can take something for my arsenal from others. It's never too late to learn.
- Do you have a nickname?
- In Russia they called me Grandpa. It's an old story. My friend Sasha Vasyunov, who died in the Lokomotiv crash, thought up this nickname.
- Why Grandpa?
- Because I was slow, paused [during play].
- And in the NHL do you have a nickname?
- Artie. American's can't pronounce my name completely.

While the majority of the coverage of Monday's 4-3 loss in 11 innings has focused on Joe Girardi's butchery of a pitching change, there are a lot of other topics that merit discussion as we approach Tuesday night's Game 4. The least important, but juiciest, subplot is the discovery of a video, by the website Halos Heaven, that appears to show Yankees closer Mariano Rivera spitting on a baseball before throwing a pitch last night.
Here's a look at the video, which is just before Erick Aybar's 10th inning at-bat, and we'll discuss after you take a look.
U.S. & World
A spitball would explain what happened on his throw to third on Aybar's bunt.
There isn't a Yankee fan alive who thinks that Rivera's success has to do with anything more than remarkable conditioning and the best cut fastball that's ever been thrown, and this video doesn't do much to shake that confidence. It's just as likely that he's spitting near the ball, and Major League Baseball has invesitgated and found "no evidence" that he doctored the ball in any way.
It would be quite strange to suddenly discover that after 999 appearances in regular season and playoff baseball games Rivera has been spitting on the ball. For one thing, each of those games have been on television and, for another, his appearances are generally watched more closely than most others because of his role and the magnitude of many of his team's games. There's smoke here for those looking for a reason to hate Rivera, but not much in the way of fire.
At the end of the day the spitter controversy probably amounts to as much as the search for the balloon boy. Heck, it wasn't even the most embarrassing thing cameras caught members of the Yankees doing during Game 3. Let's turn our attention toward the far more important factors to keep in mind when the Yankees take the field tonight. CC Sabathia is starting the game, which makes him a pretty good starting point.
Sabathia is going on short rest, something that hasn't worked out well for many pitchers in playoff history, and he'll almost certainly have lesser stuff than he had on Friday night in the Bronx. He probably won't be able to go eight innings again, either, although that's not such a big problem since Girardi is probably already planning his first three pitching changes.
If Sabathia is less successful, the offense is going to have to pick him up and that's been the hidden problem with the Yankees through the first three games of the ALCS. Jeter and A-Rod have brought some thunder and the Angels helped them out mightily with mistakes, but these guys really need to start getting hits. They're 3 for 28 in the series with runners in scoring position and were 0 for 8 on Monday. As badly as Girardi may have handled things, he wouldn't have had the chance if a couple of Yankees could have gotten good at-bats when they needed them most.
The prime offenders on Monday were Nick Swisher and Melky Cabrera, who left 12 runners on base en route to a hitless 12 at-bats. Mark Teixeira is the biggest overall offender, though. Tex is hitting just .077 for the series, which makes it much easier for the Angels to pitch around A-Rod.
Long story short, if the Yankees don't start getting some hits, they'll need to break out the spitters to keep this series from being tied when Game 4 ends sometime Wednesday morning.

The Shiur That Saved
The recent suicide bombing in the Carmel Market in Tel Aviv which claimed the lives of three Israelis and wounded dozens more took place right next to the "Cheese Market" of Moshe Shammai. The shop was badly damaged but its owner was not inside. He had just left to attend the daily shiur (class) in Daf Hayomi in the Great Synagogue on Allenby Street.
Moshe makes a point of arriving early for the shiur given by Rabbi Lipa Pelman even though it means leaving his busy shop at a prime hour. The shock of the explosion and the blood stains on his clothes from administering first aid to some of the victims did not stop him from rushing off to the shiur. When it was over he emotionally related to the other participants how the shiur had saved his life.

Beer is really cheap in China, but not the big foreign brands. Budweiser can cost more than three times as much as some local beers.
And so, Budweiser is a premium brand and a status symbol for many Chinese, according to a report by Bloomberg. That's in stark contrast to its status back in America, where it was created.
The brand has a 1.2 percent market share in China, and it's trying everything to foster that premium image in order to snatch away more.
Here are some of the things its doing:
Packaging — Budweiser's cans are topped with golden aluminum foil. Not only does it serve a purpose by protecting the can's lid from dust, but it gives it a more high-end look.
Promotion — Restaurants and bars are seeing a hefty dose of beer marketing. Brands like Budweiser are consumed in public with friends and family because it gives them status.
Volume — Parent Anheuser-Busch InBev is buying up companies and building new plants in an effort to expand its presence geographically.

After you get 'Voulez-Vous Coucher Avec Moi' on iTunes or add the track to your Spotify playlists, be sure to also stop by the Hoegaarden Rosée Facebook page for a free download of the song's special 'Voulez-Vous Rosée Avec Moi' edit in collaboration with the raspberry flavoured beer brand!

Edward Jones expects to hire up to 500 veterans this year, according to Mark Eberlin, the principal responsible for recruiting military talent at the St. Louis-based broker-dealer.
"We know the skill set and competencies developed in the military are great for financial advisors," said Eberlin (left) in an interview with AdvisorOne on Wednesday. "These competencies help service clients, and the military's rich talent pool should help us reach our growth objectives, as well."
Edward Jones currently has more than 12,000 employee reps and hopes to grow to 20,000 by 2020. This year, it aims to expand by roughly 5% on a net basis. Given the fact that some advisors retire or leave for other reasons, that means adding about 750 total new advisors in 2013—with 450 to 500 coming from the military.
In addition to recruiting those with experience in the military, it brings on new advisors from a variety of other careers, as well as younger professionals. The new advisors are typically paired with another advisor in a branch office for about 17 weeks of training.
Last Wednesday, Edward Jones was named one of the 2013 Most Valuable Employers for Military by CivilianJobs.com. The broker-dealer's 1,500 financial advisors with military experience helped it earn this honor.
On Armed Forces Day, May 18, Jones celebrated the one-year anniversary of its FORCES program, its recruiting and training program for veterans and others. The privately held firm has hired 473 former military personnel as advisors since May 2012, and more than 200 have completed their regulatory exams and are working in Edward Jones branches.
"We are honored to receive such an important recognition from CivilianJobs.com for the second year in a row," said Jim Weddle, managing partner of Edward Jones, in a press release.
The program also received additional recognition from G.I. Jobs and Military Times EDGE.
"The majority of our veteran hires served in the military for six or more years. Their time spent in the service has provided them with a great foundation for success as a financial advisor, enabling them to develop key strengths such as planning, organizing, decision-making and the ability to build relationships, all of which are key in serving our clients," Eberlin said.
In early April, Edward Jones topped the list of employee broker-dealers as measured by financial-advisor satisfaction, according to a recent survey conducted by J.D. Power & Associates. It scored 907 out of a possible 1,000 points.

Sam, a juvenile whale stranded for three weeks in Weetam Bay on B.C.'s central coast, had been plaintively calling for his mother right up until he was rescued Thursday.
And it appears his cries were heard: as soon as he popped out of the bay's narrow entrance, the transient killer whale hooked with another pod and was on his way home, said Lance Barrett-Lennard, a killer-whale scientist at Vancouver Aquarium.

"Our little Sam was travelling close to them," said Barrett-Lennard, who helped a Department of Fisheries and Oceans team to rescue the whale.
"That was good. The hope was he would join up with other killer whales and that wasn't going to happen in the little bay he was hanging out in."
Sam was first spotted in the isolated bay on Aristazabal Island on July 23 in a "happenstance visit" by John Ford and Graeme Ellis, a DFO cetacean research team.
Sam, who was born in 2009, is a member of a transient killer whale family that is seen relatively infrequently — their last sighting was two years ago. His identification was based on his uniquely-shaped white eye patches, shape of his dorsal fin and scratches and scars on his white saddle patch.
The DFO team only stayed overnight but asked Barrett-Lennard to check on Sam during his next research trip.
When he arrived a week later, Sam was still there, in good condition but still calling loudly and repeatedly for his mother. "None of us knew why he got in there," Barrett-Lennard said. "We didn't want to do anything at the time because we weren't sure if his family was going to come back for him or not.
"There was enough water for him to get out at high tide. But after spending a few days watching him, we decided he was afraid to go through the opening."
Barrett-Lennard tried over the next week to entice Sam to leave by playing transient whale calls with an underwater speaker, but the whale refused to budge.
And while Sam appeared to chase fish, he didn't eat any. Transient killer whales usually prefer seals, sea lions, porpoises and other marine mammals.
By Aug. 10, Barrett-Lennard noticed a slight depression behind Sam's blowhole, which often indicates poor nutrition and weight loss.
Five days later, he and Ford slowly towed a floating line across the harbour towards the entrance while playing transient killer whale calls outside the harbour. The operation was carried out just before high tide, and Sam "shot" through the entrance.
"He wanted to get out, he just needed a little persuasion," Barrett-Lennard said.
He plans to remain in the area for a few days to watch over Sam. He has also notified boaters and First Nations. "He'll be a special whale now. We'll always keep an eye out for him."
This is the third whale rescue Barrett-Lennard has been involved in. The first, 11 years ago, involved Springer, a baby orca rescued off the coast of Washington state. The second was Luna, an orphaned killer whale that captivated the public before its death in 2006.
