Congresswoman claims a Filner groping (years ago)
Former San Diego mayor allegedly went in for a kiss
Don Bauder 5:30 p.m., Nov. 20
According to Courthouse News Service, investors who bought condominiums in the Hard Rock Hotel San Diego have lost their fraud suit on appeal.
The investors claimed that they had bought contracts for condominiums that were effectively securities that were not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or qualified by the California Department of Corporations.
The investors said they suffered tens of millions of dollars in damages. But the Ninth Circuit appellate court said that the securities argument was not valid.
San Diego attorney Mike Aguirre represented investors. He is on vacation but I put in a call to him. If he responds, I will post his statement.
Aguirre could file a Petition for a Writ of Cert. to the SCOTUS. That is discretionary with the high court. The first appeal to the 9th Circuit District Court of Appeals is "of right."
A rehearing en bank at the Circuit Court is possible.
Characterizing the real estate contracts as a "security" is an interesting argument. The question would become whether such securities require registration with the SEC is the key issue. Keep us posted.
Diogenes cannot find the opinion yet. Findlaw.com is a good place to look.
Diogenes: I have not heard from Aguirre yet. Best, Don Bauder
This is shocking. Even the SEC was on Aguirre's side. The ruling is obviously based on the Judges' political beliefs and not the law.
But isn't that true about most rulings nowadaze. Seems following the law is really about how I interpret it to fit the times, rather than the intent of the original legislation. Which, of course, is all about judicial activism.
One thing going for the plaintiffs... The ninth is the most overturned judicial body in the country.
JW: I am so old that I can remember when judicial activism was supposed to be something only practiced by judges on the left. Best, Don Bauder
The Ninth has been one of the most liberal.
The courts have always been influenced by the justices' political affiliation.
Today, many liberal judges are socially liberal but economically conservative.
I have heard that the Ninth has become increasingly conservative. Not just in economics but also in regard to police powers.
Yankeedoodle: It appears that way. Best, Don Bauder
Diogenes: HAS BEEN one of the most liberal. Best, Don Bauder
Burwell: That is my suspicion, too. Best, Don Bauder

The Midnight Moment - Times Square
A spectacular visual and inspirational message will greet New Yorkers and visitors to the Crossroads of the World this April as part of a synchronized program on fifteen of the largest digital screens in Times Square. "The Power of Words," a new short film compilation of Nelson Mandela's words, pays tribute to the peaceful vision of the South African leader on the occasion of his upcoming 95th birthday and was created especially for the Times Square screens. Throughout April, the film will air from 11:57 pm – midnight as part of the Midnight Moment: A Digital Gallery, a presentation of the Times Square Advertising Coalition (TSAC) and Times Square Arts in collaboration with the Tribeca Film Institute (TFI) and Nelson Mandela Foundation. The showing also coincides with National Poetry Month. The words of Nelson Mandela – made up of text edited from numerous speeches – will collide, float, pour and burst onto the screens through a dramatic, cosmic blue background in the collaborative work, created by Nabil Elderkin, Andrew van der Westhuyzen and Gregory Stern., "The Power of Words" project, sponsored by Montblanc, was created in response to a challenge by the Nelson Mandela Foundation and TFI to inspire filmmakers to create short films that highlight the enduring impact of words and the resonance of Mandela's message through multiple eras and generations. This public video piece was created by one of the directors, Nabil Elderkin, in collaboration with animator Andrew Van Der Westhuyze, to help bring greater public awareness to the initiative, which will continue later this year with four additional filmmakers, who will work with TFI and Out of Africa Entertainment to create original short films based on quotes from Mandela's teachings that will be released throughout the year. To help further spread the teachings of Mandela, TFI will spearhead the creation of an additional online video that will allow viewers around the world to have a virtual experience of "The Power of Words" public video piece beyond its run in Times Square.

If there is one idea that has informed successive employment insurance reforms since the 1990s, it is that Canadians out of work should move to where the jobs are. Stricter EI eligibility rules have been a major factor in the westward flow of workers from depressed eastern outposts.
Most economists see this as a positive development. An increasingly mobile work force has reduced labour shortages in Alberta while preventing the unemployment rate from spiralling even higher in Eastern Canada . In his departing speech this year, former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney hailed "the increased sensitivity of provincial population growth to labour market opportunities." Canada's labour market, plagued for decades by chronic regional unemployment, is now as "flexible" as that of the United States.
Where some economists see success, however, Conservative Senator Diane Bellemare sees failure. An employment insurance system that encourages the depopulation of the Atlantic provinces and parts of Quebec, she argues, betrays the fundamental pact of Confederation.
"The Canadian government was created by provinces that wanted to give themselves the means to develop," Ms. Bellemare says in a book to be launched this week. "A strategy involving a 'big move' [of workers] goes against provinces' desire to develop economically and socially."
In Créer et partager la prospérité (Creating and Sharing Prosperity), Ms. Bellemare argues for giving the provinces full control over EI. While employee and employer premiums would be the same across Canada, each province would be able to set eligibility rules and decide how to split the funds collected between cash benefits for the unemployed and training programs.
A prominent Quebec labour economist, Ms. Bellemare thinks the current EI system has it backward. Canada spends almost three times more on "passive" labour market programs, such as EI benefits, than it spends on "active" ones, such as training. In the Nordic countries, spending on training has long trumped expenditures for benefits, even during the last recession.
Ottawa currently oversees the EI fund, dispensing $17.3-billion in cash benefits to the unemployed in the 2010-11 fiscal year. That compares with the $2.5-billion the federal government transfers annually to the provinces for training programs – about $300-million of which Ottawa now wants to claw back to launch its controversial Canada Job Grant.
The disconnect is such that most workers receiving EI benefits from Ottawa are not even eligible for provincial training programs until they have been out of a job for many months. Ms. Bellemare sees provincial control of EI as one way of closing that gap.
The sooner the better, she argues. Inadequate pensions will require thousands of baby boomers to work well beyond the traditional retirement age. They will be competing with younger Canadians for jobs, underscoring the imperative of continuous training for all workers. "Moving to where the jobs are" simply won't cut it as a solution to future labour market woes in many parts of Canada.
"I'm for professional mobility, not just geographical mobility," Ms. Bellemare says. "I'm not against people going to Alberta. But EI does not promote professional mobility."
You'll likely be hearing more about that in coming months. A Quebec commission headed by former Bloc Québécois leader Gilles Duceppe is holding hearings on Ottawa's recent EI reforms, which require many beneficiaries to take jobs farther away from their homes. It's all but a foregone conclusion the Duceppe commission's report will call for provincial control of EI, buttressing the Parti Québécois government's position. With the Quebec public onside, it may be hard for Ottawa to ignore the PQ's demands.
Having a Conservative senator onside won't hurt the PQ's cause either, which makes Ms. Bellemare a curiosity in the Tory caucus. A three-time candidate for the defunct Action Démocratique du Québec, Ms. Bellemare's public criticism of Stephen Harper's EI reforms didn't stop the Prime Minister from appointing her to the Senate last year.
But she arrived in Ottawa on her own terms. She doesn't do fundraisers. A policy wonk to the core, she embodies the purer aspects of the Senate's raison d'être as a champion of regional interests and purveyor of sober second thought.
"When I accepted the position it was because I had a cause," she explains. "Jobs, jobs, jobs."Report Typo/Error

I have been going over this for hours.
I would like for 2 seperate data sets (Sport1 and Sport2) to pull from the same Table (Sports).
Eg Sport1 - Volleyball
Sport2 - Basketball
Ect. . .
I would like Sport1 and Sport2 to pull from Sports
I have tried various methods to do this. .
Making 2 fields Sport1 and Sport2, Then creating a seperate table containing The lists of sports.... but i cant use relationships to tie them together..... after connecting Sport1 > Sports, then attempting to connect Sport2 > Sports, It doesn't allow for 2 relationships. . . I select 'No' >> then it adds a fake table called Sports_1 but the 2 do not update properly.
I am still in a Spreadsheet mindset..... please help me. I love you !
