In Bennett v. Smith Bunday, the Washington Supreme Court rules that article I, section 10 of the Washington Constitution requires that only material relevant to a decision actually made by a court is presumptively public. In the absence of a court decision, records do not become part of the administration of justice and may remain sealed for good cause under a stipulated protective order.
Stemming from a marriage dissolution, Rondi Bennett and her father, Gerald Horrobin, sued the accounting firm Smith Bunday Berman Britton, alleging that the firm aided Rondi's husband in embezzling and hiding money from jointly owned businesses. As part of discovery, Smith Bunday provided confidential nonparty tax records under a stipulated protective order, and the documents were marked "confidential."
Although the case settled, a response filed in the court by Rondi and Gerald contained or made reference to "confidential" documents in violation of the stipulated protective order, apparently by accident. The parties agreed that Rondi and Gerald would refile redacted and sealed versions. However, Rondi and Gerald's expert witness moved to intervene, asserted his right as a member of the public to open access to court records, and opposed the refilling because "everything was about to go underground."
Under article I, section 10 of the Washington Constitution, court records that become part of the administration of justice are presumptively public and may be sealed from the public only upon a showing of some compelling need for secrecy. However, the public does not have an interest in documents when the court does not actually make a decision or when the documents are not relevant to the merits of a motion before the court.
Here, the "confidential" documents filed with the court were not part of the administration of justice because the parties settled prior to court disposition. The trial court had no occasion to use the information as part of its decision making process. As the Court further noted, "The supporting material cannot be relevant to a nonexistent decision." Therefore, the "confidential" documents were not presumptively public under article I, section 10.

From two golf tournaments in Hawaii this month, Jason Dufner picked up $314,000 in prize money — and bronchitis and pneumonia.
More than a week and 13 time zones later, the U.S. PGA Championship winner is feeling better, which is why he's in Doha for the Qatar Masters starting on Wednesday.
In his first appearance in the European Tour event last year he tied for ninth, and enjoyed the desert course.
"I didn't do much practicing last week at home, trying to get healthy," Dufner said on Tuesday. "I am feeling considerably better."
The Qatar Masters is the first overseas event of the year for the American, who intends to use his passport more this year.
He's playing in the Dubai Desert Classic next week for the first time, and lined up the China Open after the Masters in April.
"I played a handful of European events last year, including here in Qatar and the Perth International in Australia, so I hope travelling will translate into some good results," he said. "I am looking this year to play four to six events and maybe eight this year.
"I might be stepping out of my comfort zone a bit but I think it's fun.
"Traveling the world as I have started to do recently, and playing in different countries and on different golf courses I hope will all help me figure out how to be a better pro.
"You look at the old time players, Mr. Nicklaus, Mr. Player and Mr. Trevino travelled all over the world winning many, many tournaments. We are a little spoiled in the States given the schedule we play and the purses we play for but this way I get to see the world. It's a win-win situation for me."
Meanwhile, Darren Clarke, who made his pro debut in 1990 when Dufner was 13, will tee up in his 500th European Tour event.
"When it was mentioned to me the other day this is my 500th event, I couldn't remember if I've played 300, 400 or 600," Clarke said.
"It's nice to be honored but then it also just shows I'm old."

(Reuters) - Cogeco Cable Inc, the main unit of media and telecom company Cogeco Inc, will buy Peer 1 Network Enterprises Inc for about C$526 million ($532 million) to expand its cloud computing and data hosting business.
Cogeco Cable, which provides cable-TV, high-speed internet and telephone services, has been looking to increase its presence in the fast-growing data-center business due to tough competition in signing up new television customers in Canada.
The Montreal-based company, which competes with Rogers Communications Inc and Telus Corp, bought cable operator Atlantic Broadband for $1.36 billion earlier this year to gain a foothold in the larger U.S. market.
Through the acquisition of Peer 1, Cogeco Cable will add 19 data centers to the six it operates as demand for web hosting services rises mainly from small and mid-sized businesses.
Data centers house large-capacity server computers and data-storage systems which are connected to the Internet via high-bandwidth links.
Cogeco Cable's data hosting business is expected to rise 10 percent per year organically, the company said in its annual report earlier this year.
Vancouver-based Peer 1 is an internet infrastructure provider and specializes in managed hosting, dedicated servers, cloud services and co-location. Its customers include Wordpress.com and Virgin Gaming.
Cogeco Cable offered C$3.85 for each Peer 1 share, which represents a premium of 30.5 percent to Peer 1 stock's closing price on Thursday.
The offer will be open for 35 days, and Cogeco Cable will receive a termination fee of C$18.5 million if the deal is not completed.
Cogeco Cable was advised by National Bank Financial.
Peer 1 shares closed at C$2.95 on the Toronto Stock Exchange on Thursday. Cogeco Cable's shares, which have lost 13 percent of their value over the last six months, closed at C$40.97.

My doctor recommends that I get more fun in my diet (vitamin F), so here I am at an ultimate Frisbee match between a school from Silver Lake and a team from Inglewood.
It you expect me to make a big deal about class distinction — haves and have-nots, all that predictable liberal crud — forget about it. These kids don't give a whoop about that. And to keep things fair, the Inglewood team (Century Academy for Excellence) ends up QB'd by a player lent to them from the more-experienced Silver Lake team from Thomas Starr King Middle School.
There, a Thanksgiving moment, tribes coming together to share and all that. Let's move on.
Because when you're 13 like this, all that really matters is that the right people like you. And that you have cool kicks (shoes). And that you have a little fun to the point where you sputter and can barely breathe (raw laughter).
See, adolescents I sort of understand. Where I struggle is with the whimsical sport of ultimate Frisbee.
This is all new to me, but maybe not you. After all, ultimate Frisbee — essentially football with a plastic disc — is now played competitively at 400 colleges. Of all people, producer Joel Silver is credited with inventing it back at his New Jersey high school in the '70s.

Detroit made history Thursday as the largest American city in history to ever file for Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection. The once vibrant city rooted in auto manufacturing and music finally fell victim to its dire financial situation, with between $18 billion and $20 billion in debt.
Continue Reading Below
While city emergency manager Kevyn Orr says it will be "business as usual" in Detroit, experts say residents may be impacted in three major areas—pensions, city services and tax rates.
The Pension Problem
The city has yet to confirm how pensions will be impacted, although there have been suggestions that pensions will be reduced, says Bob Tomarelli, IHS Global Insights economist. The wildcard in the situation is the fact that the Michigan state constitution has a provision which some union leaders say bars pension cuts.
The provision says "the accrued financial benefits of each pension plan and retirement system in the state and its political subdivisions shall be a contractual obligation which shall not be diminished or impaired thereby."
"The next question here is what does the judge do? The provision seems pretty clear cut, but a judge can rule that they can cut pensions," Tomarelli says.
There are an estimated 30,000 retirees who are currently receiving pensions, he says, and an estimated $9.2 billion in pension debts.
Pensions potentially have some major changes ahead, says Alison Fraser, Heritage Foundation senior fellow and director of government finance programs.
"They are already in lawsuits with the pension programs themselves," Fraser says of the city. "It's unclear what the legal questions are when you go into bankruptcy. There is some possibility pensions will be redone in some way, and it will be very difficult for those who area already retired on those pensions."
Overall, Fraser believes bankruptcy was the right way to go, as the city was irresponsible with its finances and the process will allow Detroit to restructure its debt.
City Service Cuts
Orr says the filing is the "first step toward restoring the city" and that it will be business as usual in Detroit.
"He says the lights will stay on, but it depends on what haircut the creditors will take on secured bonds, and knowing if and how much pension payments will be cut," Tomarelli says. "They then decide how much money will be cut and saved on public services."
Detroit has lost a massive number of residents over the past half century, and now is home to around 700,000 citizens, post-auto bailout and Great Recession. Tomarelli says if the city cuts public services, it would likely be less appealing to potential residents.
"People are still leaving Detroit at a faster rate than they are Michigan," he says. "If there is a great reduction in services, it may be a less attractive city to live in."
Tax Hikes on the Way?
Detroit's current tax rates are 2.4% for residents, 1.2% for non-residents and 2% for corporations and Fraser says a hike would be the wrong way to go post-bankruptcy.
"Detroit already has high taxes," she says. "It's difficult for cities to levy taxes, but they do."
If taxes are hiked on the heels of cuts to city services and pensions, she says it's a recipe for disaster.
"They shouldn't try to squeeze every last dollar out of city businesses and residents—that is really the key," she says. "Will residents flee, or will it remain stable?"
Detroit instead should look at its own problems and tackle them, including investigating its regulatory culture to see if it is encouraging new businesses to launch in the city.
"This should be a wake-up call to our federal government regarding pensions and entitlement programs," Fraser says.

Picture of Breastfeeding Graduate Goes Viral, Sparks Controversy [PHOTO]
Karlesha Thurman graduated from California State University last month and her friend took the above picture of Karlesha breastbfeeding her 3-month-old baby while in her cap and gown. The photo has stirred up some controversy and the image has gone viral.
"I was proud of the fact that not only did I graduate but that I got to share the moment with the one person who is the most important to me and that is my daughter," Karlesha told Today.
Karlesha posted the photo to Facebook last week and it has since garnered words of support as well as some negative comments. Some say it's inappropriate and that she should have covered up.
Karlesha says she's not really sure what all the fuss is about. "I did it to show it's natural, it's normal, there's nothing wrong with it," Karlesha said. "I didn't even know there was a big controversy about breast-feeding in public until all of this happened,"
What do you think? Please share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Le Mans challenges player speed and skill with 10 different tracks. Players race against the clock on each track as it appears in sequence. After the car passes the finish line of one track, a new one appears automatically, more difficult than the one before. The first track is a snap. The second, a little more difficult. etc... The more skilled the driver, the more tracks will be completed within the gam's time limit. And oil slicks don't make it any easier. 10 points are scored for each completed track. If a player finishes the first 6 tracks, two of four possible mystery courses will appear randomly to add further excitement and challenge.

If needed, the player can refuel, buy water or whatever else is required from the powerboats in Europe or the tankers in Africa. Prices of these essential materials aren't always very reasonable, given the player's meagre starting wallet, motivating players to earn higher sponsorships through strong performance in the race.

The majority of U.S. wheat- and barley-producing states enjoyed a calm year in terms of Fusarium head blight incidence and severity.
But not all. As always, growing season weather played an important role in disease incidence and severity, or lack thereof.
Commonly referred to as "scab," Fusarium head blight, caused by the fungus Fusarium graminearum, can produce significant yield losses, as well as serious grain quality issues due to the presence of the mycotoxin known as "DON" (deoxynivalenol).
A recent survey of university small grains specialists by the U.S. Wheat & Barley Scab Initiative (USWBSI) found growers had very few problems with the disease this year in eastern states like New York, Maryland, Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia.
The exception was Pennsylvania, where central and southern wheat counties in particular incurred very serious levels of infection.
Southern states (Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas) reported low incidence of scab this year in their wheat crops, as growing season weather was not conducive to its development.
Ohio's wheat producers suffered high scab levels in 2010. This year, while the disease was again present around the state, incidence and severity levels were substantially lower.
Most other Midwest states incurred even less Fusarium head blight than Ohio in 2011.
With the exception of certain areas of Nebraska, the Great Plains region had virtually no scab this season. The long drought that has plagued Oklahoma and parts of Kansas was a big factor in the disease's absence.
It was a tougher scab year in the Northern Plains, however — and particularly in South Dakota. A late, wet spring, coupled with a wet and sometimes hot growing season, set the stage for problems with several foliar and head diseases, including scab.
Fortunately, scab's 2011 impact on crop yields and quality was at least partially blunted by farmers' expanding use of moderately resistant varieties, timely and effective fungicide applications, and better crop rotation. This integrated management approach has been strongly promoted by university specialists and the USWBSI.
Also, many growers and crop advisors are utilizing the FHB Alert System, a web-based prediction program designed to provide advance notice of potential outbreaks and the risk of Fusarium Head Blight in a given area.
The system is hosted by the USWBSI.
Information on USWBSI-sponsored research and outreach efforts is available on the Initiative's website: http://www.scabusa.org/.
The website also carries an extensive article summarizing the 2011 scab situation around the nation.

Mumbai: Actress Chitrangada Singh, who many believe resembles Smita Patil, says it would be an honour to do a biopic on the late actress.
"I would love to do a biopic. Biopics are really working very well these days. I would be more than happy to do a biopic," Chitrangada said.
Asked if she would be open to one on Smita Patil, she said: "I think it will be a big honour to play Smita in reel life. I would love to do a biopic on Smita Patil. I have never given it a thought, but now I feel it would be great to do so."
Smita Patil was known for her work in films like 'Bhumika', 'Shakti' and 'Arth'. The actress died in 1986 following childbirth complications. She was 31.
Chitrangada says she considers it a compliment when people compare her with Smita Patil.
"It is an added advantage for me. Many feel that my face resembles her. It feels really great when people are remind of a person, who is not there, through me," she said.

Seahawks insider Brandon Choate brings us his list of top five positions the Seattle Seahawks need to shore up. With Marshawn Lynch and Red Bryant re-signing, and the team adding Jason Jones and Matt Flynn, the Seahawks can focus elsewhere and fill other positions that are lacking depth. LB, DE, Offensive line and RB seem to be the most glaring openings in his opinion.
Spend Paul's Money! Five positions the Seahawks still need to shore up
NFL Free Agency: Possible Seahawks linebackers love 'em & hate 'em
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Brett Bivens tells us last season the Seahawks drafted KJ Wright which allowed them to cut ties with the grossly underperforming Aaron Curry. Seattle also drafted Malcolm Smith. This year the Seahawks have to decide if they want to bring back LeRoy Hill and David Hawthorne. Free agent Curtis Loftin is an option and will turn 25 before the start of the season.

The developers of KIDO'Z recently released the first version of its Android application on the Android Market. If you are not familiar with KIDO'Z, the software provides a kid safe environment that allows children to surf their favorite sites, watch videos, play games, send emails, create and communicate — all without knowing how to read and write.
While the mobile application is built using the recently added Android support available in Adobe AIR 2.5, KIDO'Z was an early adopter of Adobe AIR and released its desktop application back in November of 2008. This is a terrific example of how developers can take advantage of their existing investments (skills, code, tools, design assets, and user experience) to build engaging experiences across devices. Congratulations to the team at KIDO'Z on the launch!
Features of the the Android application include:
- Preloaded with many kid-friendly videos
- Videos sorted into channels including:
- Movies channel
- Funny Stuff channel
- Cartoon channel
- Fun channel
- "How To" channel
- Science channel
- New content added on a regular basis.
- Kids can easily create their own Play List with their favorite videos

It's worse than they thought.
Late September brought the third Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) revision to its measure of U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The BEA now estimates that real GDP grew at just a 1.3 percent annual rate in the second quarter of this year, down from the 1.7 percent previously estimated. This emphatic signal of slow growth means a longer road ahead before rates on savings accounts and other deposits can begin to recover.
Continue Reading Below
The GDP estimate
One unusual thing about this latest revision to the GDP estimate: Third revisions aren't usually that big. The BEA routinely issues three estimates of each quarter's GDP, with each estimate coming about a month apart. As one might expect, the first estimate is usually furthest off the mark, but then subsequent estimates are more accurate.
This time around, though, the revision from 1.7 percent to 1.3 percent is unusually large. Being a downward revision, it raises the question of whether even the experts are surprised by the considerable number of negative factors working against the economy right now.
Clouds of uncertainty
In the last three quarters, real GDP has slowed from 4.1 percent to 2.0 percent to 1.3 percent. In accounting for the slowdown in growth, the BEA noted decelerations in personal consumption, housing and business investment. In other words, people aren't buying consumer goods or spending on their homes. Meanwhile businesses aren't expanding or otherwise investing in the future. Take those elements out of the economy, and there isn't much left to drive growth.
Normally, an economic slowdown can be attributed to pessimism, but in this case it may be more uncertainty than actual pessimism. Clouds of uncertainty seem to be everywhere:
- The European crisis still threatens the euro zone.
- Unrest in the Middle East, from popular uprisings to the confrontation between Israel and Iran, threaten the world's oil supply.
- A closely contested presidential race in the U.S. could bring a sharp change in policy direction.
- The "fiscal cliff" planned as a draconian solution to the U.S. deficit problem could snuff out any remaining signs of economic growth.
Neither consumers nor business executives want to spend when they are so uncertain about what next year will bring.
Impact on savings account rates
The good news is that even a slowing economy is unlikely to drive savings account rates much lower. The bad news, of course, is that this is simply because those rates don't have much lower to go. Among deposit accounts, the real impact might show up in long-term CD rates. These have remained higher than savings and money market rates, but as the expectation grows that the low interest rate environment might stick around for the next few years, the gap between long and short-term deposit rates should continue to narrow.
In other words, until it's possible to see past those clouds of uncertainty, it is difficult to foresee a time when bank rates may start to recover.

To the Editor:
Education came the hard way in Rhode Island's small towns, or should I say in most towns in the early days.
Education was not a subject to be taken seriously. Many persons believed work in the factory, or in the fields, more important. There was a great deal of talk about formation of a school system, but it was mostly politics, with different towns slowly pushing for schools. In 1811, the friends of education in northwest Coventry decided to build a school; the men of the town voted to build a schoolhouse 17 feet wide, 23 feet long on the land owned by one of the men.
On July 4, 1812, the schoolhouse was completed and there was a celebration of the event. Half of the people in the neighborhood got drunk before the day was over.
For quite a few years, there had been a school in Rice City, but it was nothing to stir the hearts, for it was closed half the time. With so many cotton manufacturing companies, paper mills, clothiers works, grain mills, etc., obviously the whole population was working and had little time for consideration of education for children, as even the children were working.
Boys came to school with cloths saturated with the odor of cow manure. Some classrooms smelled like pigpens. Personal hygiene was unknown. Children took a bath only in the warm weather, when they could jump in the local pond.
Class was held for six hours, with no recess or intermission. No schoolyard. Smoke from an open fireplace escaped in the room, causing eyes to smart. Some children brought their pets to school into the schoolroom; it was not unusual to find pets waiting outside the school. The master could invent his own punishment.
The governor of Rhode Island, himself an owner of an outstanding manufacturing company, Governor Knight urged action be taken to educate the youth who were working in the cotton factories. The state was duty-bound, he pointed out, to give protection to agriculture, commerce and manufacturers, but it was guardian of the public morals and education. The governor's appeal hardly made a ripple on the public's conscience, for the talk then to take the children out of mills would wreck the cotton industry.
Now those who promoted education had a long, wearisome battle on behalf of schools. In 1799, a committee or association of mechanics and manufacturers asking for the creation of school districts was taken up in the General Assembly. It called for the opening of free schools and for establishment of school districts in every town in the state. By 1800, the act establishing free schools became a law in the state. Coventry, along with other towns, rose up in opposition and as a result, in 1803 the law was repealed; only Providence went ahead with plans.
Children whose parents could afford it went to East Greenwich, where an academy called the Kent was established. Later, this academy was taken over by the Methodists, and under their direction, it became a noted school. Others chose to leave the state and went to Connecticut. The head of different towns pushed for school districts. Since 1828, public education had been kicked around. Only the rich could be educated; the poor didn't have a chance.
It was a day in October of 1843 that would go down in Rhode Island history. Wilkins Updike of South Kingston stood up in the House of Representatives and asked to be heard, calling for an examination of teachers and books and supervision of schools by qualified officers. "Our teaches come from abroad, they are hired without producing evidence of fitness to teach or of moral character. They stay, and within a couple of months, are gone to places unknown." The legislation ought to know what becomes of the $25,000 drawn from the treasury.
The people of the state should know just how things stand in the education system. Up until now, it was shown that Rhode Island was behind the other New England states in this matter.
In some towns, groups of parents got together to hire an instructor who was trained as a teacher, but by today's standards, he would hardly qualify as a teacher. All he taught was the three R's, and even this was rudimentary. Most good teachers came from Connecticut. Little pay was offered. He would board with one family then another. When the school year was over, he went away, sometimes never to return.
A classroom could have been in a convenient farmhouse where the children could assemble; sometimes an out building was chosen. No blackboards. Seats were made of pine or oak slabs and didn't have backs. A class consisted of different ages in one room.
The bill the governor introduced called for improvement and better management, as well as the appointment of an agent to investigate school conditions and make a report. Henry Barnard from Hartford, Conn., a leading educator, was chosen. Barnard came from a state noted for its educators. He called for a selection of a school committee. He approved the idea of school districts, and teachers had to bring certificates to be examined; everything had to be known of their character. Above all, Barnard wanted children take out of the factories. Under the age of 12, a child must be kept out of the factory.
Suddenly, friends of education began to pop up in some towns, urging the appointment of a school committee. School districts would follow. Teachers received a monthly wage ranging from $14 to $26. The committee also adopted a standard set of textbooks; previously each new teacher brought his own books.
The teachers under Barnard began holding teachers institutes. By 1853, there was legislation limiting the hours of labor for children. The following year, minors under 15 could not be employed in the factories. In 1904, school districts were abolished and the towns took over. It has been a long struggle, but from a state of religious liberty and known for independence, "We did it." Yes, there is still room for improvement, and with Hope flying on our state flag!

A transformer explosion at a ConEdison facility in Astoria, Queens, which took place two days after Christmas, set the New York city skyline ablaze with a dazzling blue glow. The blast caused power outages across the borough, including at LaGuardia airport, and sent social media users into a frenzy about the possibility of an alien invasion.

Video: Turkish Goat's Milk and Yogurt
Watch the Video
We knew when we embarked on our trip through Turkey that we had to do a story about yogurt. Our search led us to a family on the Black Sea that graze organic goats along the coastline. They has been living in the city for the majority of their lives and the son wanted to get back to the land. So they returned to their family home and raised goats as their parents had. The milking, yogurt, and cheese-making are all done by hand, and are all delicious.

As you begin to ascend the staircase, the house creaks and groans in protest. You pause about halfway to the top, unsure if you should continue or climb back down.
Suddenly, the decision is made for you as the staircase collapses. You hear a loud WHACK as something very large and very heavy hits your helmet. At last the wild ride comes to an end, and you find yourself partially buried in what used to be the staircase.
The room is filled with dust as you struggle out from under the debris.
The hallway is long and narrow; moonlight streams through dust-covered windows on the west wall. Doors open to the north, south, and east. Against the south wall lies a pile of rubble, the remains of the old staircase (you silently thank God for the helmet you selected!).
Wait here until morning and hope nothing happens...
Pass through the east door to the living room.
