Infosys Technologies, India's second-largest software exporter by revenue after Tata Consultancy Services Ltd, plans to nearly double its work force in the U.S. and remains on the lookout for acquisition targets in Germany, France and Japan; its Chief Executive S. Gopalakrishnan told the Wall Street Journal.
The company, which had 1,200 U.S. employees as of March 31 had said in April it would hire more staff in the U.S. and has is making good on that promise adding with plans to add 1,000 employees in the states. As of Sept. 30, Infosys had a total of 105,453 employees worldwide.
Infosys Technologies joins other Indian software exporters in gradually stepping up hiring to prepare for an expected increase in outsourcing deals as technology spending makes a modest comeback in developed nations.
This hiring may signal good news for the U.S. economy as it is expected that more consumers are spending again and, at this point, the addition of 1,000 jobs is a very welcome addition to the economy.
Infosys, who gets about 66% of its revenue from the U.S. market, had forecast $4.60 billion to $4.62 billion of revenue for the current fiscal year in October, down 1% to 1.3% from a year earlier.

Q: Is there a way to redirect a mobile response webpage to desktop version? How can I redirect a mobile response webpage with URL m.facebook.com which has parameters included, to a desktop version?
When I tried with User-agent in httpResponse it redirected to the same URL with m as subdomain but in the desktop version.
How to resolve this, or is there an alternative way?

A: There is no "simple way" to do this since there is no standard API that I am familar with to do this. For your example on the Chrome Mobile Browser, you still load "m.facebook.com"
If you really do want to do this, though you can do a few heuristics:

*

*Try to swap the user agent change and see if you get a response that is "different enough"

*You try removing common prefixes such as "m" or "mobile"

*You can ship mappings of common sites, i.e: m.facebook.com > facebook.com with your binary

*You can screenshot the page, run metrics against it, figure out if it's "mobile" or "desktop" and try to redirect.

But there is no way to ask directly.

Forging emotional connections with consumers has long been at the heart of business-to-consumer (B2C) marketing. For business-to-business (B2B) marketers, it's not so simple. They ultimately need to reach business decision makers, but those customers deal with the influences of purchasing committees, third-party buying consultants and corporate procurement processes. This framework distances marketer from customer and assumes a "rational" frame that's devoid of emotion.
To find out, Google and CEB's Marketing Leadership Council worked with marketing research firm Motista to survey 3,000 purchasers of 36 B2B brands across multiple industries. We wanted to uncover the reality beyond the basic assumptions that drive B2B marketing and communications. Using the same methodology as their B2C research, we were able to directly compare B2B results to Motista's baseline consumer data.
Not only did the B2B brands drive more emotional connections than B2C brands, but they weren't even close. Of the hundreds of B2C brands that Motista has studied, most have emotional connections with between 10% and 40% of consumers. Meanwhile, of the nine B2B brands we studied, seven surpassed the 50% mark. On average, B2B customers are significantly more emotionally connected to their vendors and service providers than consumers.
While it may seem surprising at first, this high level of connection with B2B customers makes a lot of sense. When a personal consumer makes a bad purchase, the stakes are relatively low. Best case, it's returnable. If not, it might require an explanation to a spouse. Business purchases, on the other hand, can involve huge amounts of risk: Responsibility for a multi-million dollar software acquisition that goes bad can lead to poor business performance and even the loss of a job. The business customer won't buy unless there is a substantial emotional connection to help overcome this risk.
Another common misconception is that B2B purchase decisions are just about maximizing business value. That's no longer the case. Our research shows that perceptions of business value barely differ between leading brands within a given industry (see fig 1). Where differentiation does exist, we found that only 14% of business decision makers are willing to pay a premium for it (see fig 2). So while business value is table stakes, the majority of B2B marketing still focuses therein.
Average Agreement with "This Brand Will Help Us Achieve Business Goals"
Q: "Do you see a real difference between suppliers and value the difference enough to pay for it?"
To stand out, B2B marketers need to create excitement — anticipation of both professional and personal rewards. How? By building emotional connections with their customers, which can drive important purchase outcomes like purchase intent and pricing power. B2B purchasers are almost 50% more likely to buy a product or service when they see personal value — such as opportunity for career advancement or confidence and pride in their choice — in their business purchase decision. They are 8x more likely to pay a premium for comparable products and services when personal value is present.
We like to think of organizations as rational and logical. The truth is, there are people within them, and those people are just as — if not more so — influenced by emotion than everyday consumers. While the latter may place some value on bonding with a brand, the former needs an emotional connection to buy at all. By getting personal, B2B marketers can get ahead — creating purchase intent, pricing power, brand advocacy and, most importantly, happy customers.

D.C. regulator OK's Exelon's takeover of Pepco — with conditions
SHARE D.C. regulator OK's Exelon's takeover of Pepco — with conditions
Exelon Nuclear Power Plant in Cordova, Ill. | AP file photo
NEW YORK — A Washington, D.C., regulator approved Exelon's nearly $7 billion takeover of rival utility Pepco, but the deal will only go through if Exelon agrees to the regulator's terms.
The District of Columbia Public Service Commission said Wednesday that Exelon has 30 days to agree to the way it wants more than $70 million in payments to be used for customer discounts and energy conservation.
Exelon said it is reviewing the order.
A combination of Exelon and Pepco would create the largest electric utility company in the U.S., according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Exelon first offered to buy Pepco nearly two years ago.
Chicago-based Exelon owns ComEd in Illinois and PECO in Pennsylvania. Pepco, based in Washington, powers homes through Atlantic City Electric in New Jersey and Delmarva Power in Delaware, Maryland and Virginia. Together, the companies said they would have about 10 million customers.
The District of Columbia Public Service Commission is the last regulator Exelon needs approval from to cinch the deal. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and commissions in four states have already approved it.
Shares of Pepco Holdings Inc. soared 27 percent to close at $26.93 Wednesday. Exelon Corp. shares slipped less than 1 percent to close at $34.72.

TERROR LAKE HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT
December 16, 2015.--Ordered to be printed
Ms. Murkowski, from the Committee on Energy and Natural
Resources, submitted the following
R E P O R T
[To accompany S. 1583]
The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, to which was
referred the bill (S. 1583) to authorize the expansion of an
existing hydroelectric project, having considered the same,
reports favorably thereon with an amendment in the nature of a
substitute and recommends that the bill, as amended, do pass.
The amendment is as follows:
1. Strike all after the enacting clause and insert the
SECTION 1. TERROR LAKE HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT UPPER HIDDEN BASIN
DIVERSION AUTHORIZATION.
(a) Definitions.--In this section:
(1) Terror lake hydroelectric project.--The term ``Terror
Lake Hydroelectric Project'' means the project identified in
section 1325 of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation
Act (16 U.S.C. 3212), and which is Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission project number 2743.
(2) Upper hidden basin diversion expansion.--The term ``Upper
Hidden Basin Diversion Expansion'' means the expansion of the
Terror Lake Hydroelectric Project as generally described in
Exhibit E to the Upper Hidden Basin Grant Application dated
July 2, 2014 and submitted to the Alaska Energy Authority
Renewable Energy Fund Round VIII by Kodiak Electric
Association, Inc.
(b) Authorization.--The licensee for the Terror Lake Hydroelectric
Project may occupy not more than 20 acres of Federal land to construct,
operate, and maintain the Upper Hidden Basin Diversion Expansion
without further authorization of the Secretary of the Interior or under
the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (16 U.S.C. 3101 et
seq.).
(c) Savings Clause.--The Upper Hidden Basin Diversion Expansion
shall be subject to appropriate terms and conditions included in an
amendment to a license issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission pursuant to the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 791a et seq.),
including section 4(e) of that Act (16 U.S.C. 797(e)), following an
environmental review by the Commission under the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).
The purpose of S. 1583 is to authorize the expansion of the
existing Terror Lake hydroelectric project in Alaska.
BACKGROUND AND NEED
Approval to construct the Terror Lake Hydroelectric Project
in Alaska was granted by the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission in 1981. The 36 MW project has been in operation
since the 1980s and the Kodiak Electric Association (KEA),
which serves the city of Kodiak, including the nation's largest
U.S. Coast Guard Base and one of the country's largest
commercial fishing ports, now obtains 99.7 percent of its
electric power from the hydroelectric project and another
nearby wind farm.
In order to avoid burning approximately two million gallons
of diesel fuel to produce additional power, KEA, seeks to
increase the amount of hydropower generated at the facility by
expanding operations through the Upper Hidden Basin Diversion
Expansion. The proposed expansion involves diverting five small
streams located on Alaska State lands in the adjacent Upper
Hidden Basin and allowing that water to flow into Terror Lake
through an underground tunnel. The project would not involve
adding turbines or equipment to the existing Terror Lake
powerhouse. The expansion would increase the total production
of electricity from the existing project by an additional 30
gigawatt-hours annually, representing a 25 percent increase in
power production. This will allow KEA to enhance its wind-
hydropower integration system and its micro-grid energy storage
The existing Terror Lake Project is located within the
Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge pursuant to a Special Use
Permit granted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 1981.
S. 1583 authorizes construction, operation, and maintenance of
the underground tunnel within the Kodiak National Wildlife
Refuge as well. Insofar as the Upper Hidden Basin Diversion
Expansion is an expansion of the Terror Lake Hydroelectric
Project, the Committee expects the terms and special conditions
of the Special Use Permit KD-81-0040 issued on July 21, 1981,
as amended, to remain in effect and to apply to the expansion.
S. 1583 was introduced by Senator Murkowski on June 16,
2015. The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources held a full
committee hearing on October 8, 2015 to consider the bill.
At its business meeting on November 19, 2015, the Committee
on Energy and Natural Resources, on a voice vote, ordered S.
1583 favorably reported as amended.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION AND TABULATION OF VOTES
The Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, in
open business session on November 19, 2015, by a majority voice
vote of a quorum present, recommends that the Senate pass S.
1583, if amended as described herein.
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS
During its consideration of S. 1583, the Committee on
Energy and Natural Resources adopted an amendment in the nature
of a substitute to: provide definitions for the Terror Lake
Hydroelectric Project and the Upper Hidden Basin Diversion
Expansion; limit the Federal land that may be used for the
project to no more than 20 acres; legislatively authorize use
of the refuge for the construction, operation, and maintenance
of the diversion tunnel without further action by the Secretary
of the Interior; and clarify that the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission's authorization of the diversion project will not be
subject to the provisions of title XI of the Alaska National
Interest Lands Conservation Act. The amendment is further
described in the section-by-section analysis.
SECTION-BY-SECTION ANALYSIS
Section 1(a) defines key terms.
Section 1(b) authorizes the licensee to occupy up to 20
acres of Federal land to construct, operate, and maintain the
Upper Hidden Basin Diversion Expansion without further
authorization of the Secretary. It also clarifies that
authorization of the expansion is not subject to title XI of
the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act.
Section 1(c) clarifies that the expansion of the Terror
Lake Hydroelectric Project is still subject to the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission's hydropower licensing proceedings
pursuant to the Federal Power Act, including section 4(e) of
that Act, as well as the National Environmental Policy Act of
COST AND BUDGETARY CONSIDERATIONS
The following estimate of costs of this measure has been
provided by the Congressional Budget Office:
U.S. Congress,
Congressional Budget Office,
Washington, DC, December 9, 2015.
Hon. Lisa Murkowski,
Chairman, Committee on Energy and Natural Resources,
U.S. Senate, Washington, DC.
Dear Madam Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has
prepared the enclosed cost estimate for S. 1583, a bill to
authorize the expansion of an existing hydroelectric project.
If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Megan
Carroll.
Keith Hall.
Enclosure.
S. 1583--A bill to authorize the expansion of an existing hydroelectric
S. 1583 would specify that the licensee of the Terror Lake
hydroelectric project (number 2743), located within the Kodiak
National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, can expand that project to
occupy not more than 20 acres of additional federal land. Under
the bill, the proposed expansion would require no further
approval by the Secretary of the Interior.
CBO estimates that enacting S. 1583 would not significantly
affect the federal budget. According to the Department of the
Interior, the federal lands that would be affected by the
proposed expansion currently generate no significant receipts
from programs to develop natural resources and are not expected
to do so in the future. As a result, CBO expects that the
proposed expansion would not affect offsetting receipts (which
are treated as reductions in direct spending). CBO also expects
that enacting S. 1583 could have a minor impact on spending by
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which
regulates the Terror Lake hydroelectric project. Because FERC
recovers 100 percent of its costs through user fees, however,
any change in that agency's costs (which are controlled through
annual appropriation acts) would be offset by an equal change
in fees that the commission charges, resulting in no net change
in federal spending.
Enacting S. 1583 would not affect direct spending or
revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. CBO
estimates that enacting S. 1583 would not increase net direct
spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive
10-year periods beginning in 2026.
S. 1583 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector
mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and
would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments.
The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Megan Carroll.
The estimate was approved by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy
Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
REGULATORY IMPACT EVALUATION
In compliance with paragraph 11(b) of rule XXVI of the
Standing Rules of the Senate, the Committee makes the following
evaluation of the regulatory impact which would be incurred in
carrying out S. 1583. The bill is not a regulatory measure in
the sense of imposing Government-established standards or
significant economic responsibilities on private individuals
and businesses.
No personal information would be collected in administering
the program. Therefore, there would be no impact on personal
Little, if any, additional paperwork would result from the
enactment of S. 1583, as ordered reported.
CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING
S. 1583, as ordered reported, does not contain any
congressionally directed spending items, limited tax benefits,
or limited tariff benefits as defined in rule XLIV of the
Standing Rules of the Senate.

"From my tribe, I take nothing. I am the maker of my own fortune."
Tecumseh (/tɛˈkʌmsə/; March 1768 – October 5, 1813) was a Native American leader of the Shawnee and a large tribal confederacy (known as Tecumseh's Confederacy) which opposed the United States during Tecumseh's War and the War of 1812. Tecumseh has become an iconic folk hero in American, Aboriginal and Canadian history.[1]
Tecumseh grew up in the Ohio Country during the American Revolutionary War and the Northwest Indian War, where he was constantly exposed to warfare.[2] With Americans continuing to encroach on Indian territory after the British ceded the Ohio Valley to the new United States in 1783, the Shawnee moved farther northwest. In 1808, they settled Prophetstown in present-day Indiana. With a vision of establishing an independent Native American nation east of the Mississippi under British protection, Tecumseh worked to recruit additional tribes to the confederacy from the southern United States.[2]
During the War of 1812, Tecumseh's confederacy allied with the British in The Canadas (the collective name for the colonies of Upper Canada and Lower Canada), and helped in the capture of Fort Detroit. American forces killed Tecumseh in the Battle of the Thames, in October 1813. With his death, his confederation disintegrated. Some tribes simply stopped fighting. Accordingly, the British deserted their Indian allies at the peace conference that ended the War of 1812. As a result, the dream of an independent Indian state in the Midwest vanished, and American settlers took possession of all the territory south of the Great Lakes, driving the Indians west or into reservations.

When it comes to Once Upon a Time, there are many things I admire and quite a few that I dislike (or hate, it depends on what we are talking about). But there is one aspect I absolutely love: the soundtrack. There are so many stories presented in the show, but I think that the one told without words, the one felt through music, is flawless.
Mark Isham is the one… responsible for this little beauty. Thanks to him, we have access to a storyline that flows along with the images and words. Sometimes they meet and sometimes they follow their own paths. For all its sins, the show's main ideas are interesting, complex and it's not exactly easy to always give them the attention they deserve. If you ask me, the soundtrack compensates for the way certain parts of the episodes have been written. In other words, if the writers cannot highlight an idea as they should, music never fails and it always manages to enchant you.
When speaking of Once Upon a Time, we will often see mentions of love, hope and true love's kiss. Oh, and let's not forget the happy ending. This last one seems to be more present than ever since Darkness on the Edge of Town. I wouldn't be surprised if one might expect to hear a rather… whimsical soundtrack. Of course, that would prove that said person hasn't seen many episodes. As I said before, sound and image go hand in hand, they tell stories about lovers and loss and great pain. However, music is the one which reveals a character's deepest secrets and brings together two worlds. It's magic… and magical.
The soundtrack is addictive; for instance, I've listened to Hope Will Return more times than I can count. You might not like the series for whatever reason, it's possible. However, who could say no to music that can both sooth you and send cold chills down your spine? If you have the time and patience to go through the soundtrack of every season (or at least bits and pieces of it), you'll notice right away that even the most calm or playful parts are intertwined with something dark. Like the curse which brought the characters to Storybrooke, that darkness is omnipresent, even if only in subtle details. Through ups and downs, sadness and joy, those who listen closely will be taken on a ride they will not forget easily.
Dealing with Rumplestiltskin is a marvelous gem. Why? Well, Rumplestiltskin's back story (the entire character, actually) is one of the most complex ones I've seen in a very long time. You can't put one label on him and claim that you've got the character all figured out. Dealing… is a dark piece, you can almost hear the Dark One's giggle or feel his presence. This is what it is: a glimpse into madness and darkness. I love the tension, as if something's reaching for you from the mist… and you can do nothing to stop it. Right in the middle, it seems as if a lullaby was taken over by something evil. It's rather fitting, if you think about it: corrupted innocence. All magic comes with a price; are you willing to pay it? Yes, if that magic is marvelous storytelling and complex characters.
After the darkness brought forth by the piece mentioned above, after feeling chased by an enemy you cannot see nor understand, let's move towards something tender and truly soothing: Belle's Story. It suits Belle perfectly and, while listening to this, many fans will be reminded of precious moments when she and Rumplestiltskin were seen on screen. At least for a while, darkness is chased away to give love room to grow. It's that brief flicker of light amidst an ocean of darkness. Take Rumplestiltskin in Love: it leaves you speechless, it's tragic, haunting and full of pain. But Belle's Story… let it wash over you and take your cares away. It brings along light and peace and that makes you want to fall into someone's open arms, a safe place you never want to leave. At least, not alone. Basically, this is Belle: the one who could bring out the best in anyone, who is strong enough not to let whatever darkness resides in her soul control her actions.
Let me end this with a few words about True Love, the piece which goes together with one of the most important ideas of the series. It all started with true love and I bet it will end with it. While it might seem that love is easy, that is very far from the truth. We see, especially when it comes to Emma's theme, that great sadness is nearby. It makes no difference if that love comes from a parent or from a lover, the threat of loss stands in the way of happiness. Ah, but there's always hope. In the end, these are fairytales. What's the point of them if they don't reassure you softly that everything will be alright in the end? Trust me when I say that music will stay with you, make you want to return to it even if one day you decide to abandon the series.

I'm gonna say something but please take no offense if it turns to not have anyhing to do with the subject of the article or I've gone a bit off track.The tracks listed are quite good and from what I remember from the days before I lost track of the show the music does go quite well with the events. Even when the show has its low points the music manages to keep its pace and encourages the viewer to have patience. There are alot of other shows where even the music seems to get tired of the action and slouches. Not in Once Upon a Time though.. no sir. Whenever I felt like…"Where is this going? Why am I still wathcing?" the music will give me a slight nudge and make me hopeful for better scenes and lines. My last thoughts are on the topic Robert Carlyle's character. There's not enough to say that could do justice to his role in bringing Rumple to life. Sure the writers did all the work but it would mean nothing if a talentless individual would be reciting the lines. Carlyle brings so much to table that you could even have a boring children's song in the background of one of his scenes and he'd come with an idea of how to make it dark, sinister or just right to fit in with the rest of show. The complexity of Rumple does not stem only from the music and the lines but from the actor's pitch and behaviour, which are in perfect tune with the rest.
Keep up the good work, Elena! Keep this well of creativity and entertainment running as you have so far and with no doubt more and more people will join in on the fun.Long Live elitere!
Take offence? Vlad… you went from the tracks I love to an actor I love. Please, feel free to do that more often! Seriously though, you're right about Robert Carlyle and the way he bring Rumplestitlskin to life. He's fantastic, regardless of what he is given to wrok with. I can't imagine another actor playing Rumple, he is the perfect choice (and, from what I've read, the only reason many are still watching the series). I plan to watch the newest episode tonight, see what happened. I'm not particularly excited about it, but… who knows?
Thank you so much, I'll try to do just that! :* With people like you around me, it's worth every bit of effort.
I haven't seen SGU, but I know what you mean. If Robert Carlyle's in a film/series, you can bet he'll give everything and make it worth watching. Time… give me more time because I want to write about so many of his films! Have you watched "Safe", "Summer" or "The Full Monty"? They're great!

Killer known as 'The Serpent' set to be freed from Nepal prison
Charles Sobhraj is suspected of killing more than 20 Western backpackers on the "hippie trail" through Asia, usually by drugging their food or drink in the course of robbing them.

Charles Sobhraj, a convicted killer who police suspect was responsible for a string of murders in the 1970s and 1980s, was due to be freed on Thursday after nearly 20 years in prison in Nepal, his lawyer said.
Sobhraj, 78, a French national, is suspected of killing more than 20 Western backpackers on the "hippie trail" through Asia, usually by drugging their food or drink in the course of robbing them.
Nepal's Supreme Court on Wednesday ordered his release from prison, where he has served 19 years of his 20-year sentence, citing his age.
He had been held in a high-security jail in Kathmandu since 2003, when he was arrested on charges of murdering American backpacker Connie Jo Bronzich in 1975 and had served 19 years out of a 20-year sentence.
Sobhraj denied killing the American woman and his lawyers said the charge against him was based on assumption.
Several years later he was also found guilty of killing Bronzich's Canadian friend, Laurent Carriere.
But he was suspected of many more murders.
Thailand, where he was known as the "bikini killer," issued a warrant for his arrest in the mid-1970s on charges of drugging and killing six women, some of whom turned up dead on a beach near the resort of Pattaya.
He was jailed in India for poisoning a group of French tourists in the capital, New Delhi, in 1976, before he could stand trial on the charges against him in Thailand.
Thailand's Justice Ministry did not immediately respond to questions on whether there were any outstanding warrants for him.
Sobhraj escaped from India's Tihar jail in 1986 after drugging prison guards with cookies and cakes laced with sleeping pills.
Days later, police caught him at a restaurant in the Indian beach holiday state of Goa, where a statue of the man, with his signature peaked cap, stands to this day.
He was jailed in India until 1997 when returned to France.
In 2003, he was arrested in Kathmandu, in connection with the 1975 murders of Bronzich and Carriere, after being spotted at a casino.
Associates have described him as a con artist, a seducer, a robber and a murderer.
Last year, the BBC and Netflix jointly produced a TV series dramatizing his crimes called "The Serpent."

Scientology asked Lisa Marie Presley to dissuade Danny Masterson accuser, prosecutor says
ByColeen Sullivan and Lisa Bartley
<iframe width="476" height="267" src="https://abc7.com/video/embed/?pid=12440749" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Lisa Marie Presley is off the witness list after a judge ruled she could not testify about Scientology asking her to dissuade an accuser from going to police.
LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The prosecution in the Danny Masterson rape trial rested its case on Thursday after four weeks and sixteen witnesses. The actor and celebrity Scientologist is facing three counts of forcible rapes for incidents with three women between 2001 and 2003.
Masterson has pleaded not guilty, and his attorneys have argued the encounters were either consensual or did not occur. If he's convicted, Masterson could face up to 45 years in prison.
The Church of Scientology is not on trial, but its beliefs and practices have loomed over the proceedings. All three women were Scientologists at the time of the alleged rapes but have since left the Church.
One potential and highly anticipated witness who did not end up testifying at trial is Lisa Marie Presley -- a longtime friend of one of the accusers: Jane Doe 1. On Tuesday, outside the presence of the jury, attorneys argued about whether Presley should be permitted to take the witness stand.
"We didn't really have much information about why Lisa Marie Presley was on the witness list," says Tony Ortega, editor at The Underground Bunker who is covering the trial and first broke the news back in 2017 that the LAPD was investigating Masterson for alleged rapes.
"Deputy D.A. Mueller explained to the judge that Lisa Marie Presley was subpoenaed and what they wanted her to testify to was that after Jane Doe 1 had been raped by Masterson, she was talking about going to the police and Scientology asked Presley to talk Jane Doe 1 out of it," says Ortega.
"The way the prosecutor was describing it -- it sounded like a classic case of obstruction of justice," says Ortega.
The Church of Scientology did not respond to a request for comment on this specific allegation, but has previously said that the Church has, "no policy prohibiting or discouraging members from reporting criminal conduct of Scientologists, or of anyone, to law enforcement. Quite the opposite. Church policy explicitly demands Scientologists abide by all laws of the land."
"What that means is that Lisa Marie Presley would not just be testifying to a crime committed by Scientology, but one that she had taken part in," says Ortega. "Therefore, she had some exposure, some legal exposure."
Prosecutor Reinhold Mueller told Judge Charlaine Olmedo that Presley's attorney told the DA's office that Presley "may be taking the Fifth Amendment," and that she "maybe had concerns about dissuasion of a witness."
Mueller said that although his office believes any potential crime would be beyond the statute of limitations, they agreed to give Presley immunity. Once that was resolved, Presley agreed to sit down with a DA investigator for an interview on Friday of last week.
Mueller told the court that Presley told their investigator she had been contacted by the Church of Scientology after the April 2003 alleged rape of Jane Doe 1.
"She was asked to make contact with (Jane Doe 1) and to calm things down in the sense that apparently at that time (Jane Doe 1) was considering going to the authorities and the Church of Scientology wanted things to be handled in-house," said Mueller.
"So based on the instructions from the Church of Scientology official, she did, in fact, make contact with (Jane Doe 1) and had a conversation with (Jane Doe 1). And then, at some point thereafter, reported back to the Church of Scientology."
Mueller also referenced a direct message he wanted to admit as an exhibit along with Presley's testimony. According to Mueller, Presley acknowledged in her interview that she sent that message to Jane Doe 1 back in December of 2014, apologizing for her conduct.
Eyewitness News obtained that direct message.
"OMG I looked for you and found you..... I am DYING to talk to you.... So much has happened and changed and I need to start by APOLOGIZING for contributing in any way those years ago for helping anyone who tried to quiet you about what you had gone through... Those were crazy times with crazy people and not one of them remain in my life now... Please write me back. so we can talk. L"
Masterson defense attorney Karen Goldstein argued against allowing Presley to testify and against the admission of that direct message as an exhibit.
"The bulk of this statement deals essentially with what one could call obstruction of justice, which is absolutely not an issue in this case here," Goldstein told Judge Olmedo. "Mr. Masterson is not on trial for that. Certainly, the Church is not on trial for that. A lot of these actions speak to calming down or covering up a situation."
In the end, Judge Olmedo ruled that any testimony by Presley about Scientology's alleged request was not relevant to Masterson's rape trial.
"It seems to me that whatever silencing you want to submit took place of (Jane Doe 1) - of (Jane Doe 1's) statements in reporting the charged crimes here are much more relevant to the civil case because they're not attributable to Mr. Masterson," said Judge Olmedo.
Olmedo continued that she would limit Presley's potential testimony to whatever prior statements Jane Doe 1 made to Presley around the time of the alleged rapes. Presley could testify that she was "instructed or directed to call (Jane Doe 1) about this incident by others" but she could not "name who those others are."
On Wednesday, DA Mueller told the court that "based on the court's ruling, we've opted not to have her testify."
JANE DOE 4 TESTIFIES
Another witness the defense fought to keep off the witness stand this week is Jane Doe 4 -- actress Tricia Vessey -- who gave Eyewitness News permission to use her name and photos. Vessey testified on Wednesday and Thursday that Masterson raped her twice back in 1996.
The DA's office did not charge Masterson with Vessey's alleged rapes but had her testify as a "prior bad acts" witness.
"She filmed a movie with Danny and she described a wrap party that ended up at Danny's house and she freely admitted she had a lot to drink," says Ortega of the first alleged rape.
"She was drunk. She was trying to go to sleep. And her testimony was that Danny Masterson pulled her into his room and raped her -- and that she had kept quiet about it all these years until this investigation became public."
Vessey told the jury she "kicked him away with a foot," but lost consciousness and later woke up to him "having sex with me."
"I was upset by what had happened, but I didn't know how to categorize it," Vessey testified. "I definitely felt a deep shame and disrespected... I was disturbed but I didn't know how to cope with it," she said, adding that her vagina and anus were sore the next day and she had bruises on the inside of her thighs.
A month after the first alleged rape, Vessey testified that Masterson showed up uninvited at her apartment with a flask of alcohol.
"I recall pretty quickly becoming incoherent," Vessey said after taking "just a couple swigs."
"I was telling him I didn't want to have sex with him," she testified. "He was laughing and just continued on."
Before she says she lost consciousness, Vessey says she remembers telling Masterson to put a condom on. "I only recall him saying, he said, 'diseases were in the mind,'" she testified.
On cross examination, Masterson defense attorney pressed Vessey on why she allowed Masterson into her apartment that second time in 1996, why she maintained some contact with Masterson over the years and why she did not report the alleged rapes to law enforcement until 2019. Cohen seemed to mock Vessey's testimony that her body shook every time she came into contact with Masterson after that first alleged rape.
"Was your body shaking when you invited Mr. Masterson into your house for the second incident," Cohen asked.
"I don't have a shake-o-meter," Vessey replied, adding that she was confused, unnerved and "would shut down" every time she interacted with him.
Vessey acknowledged that she accepted a ride home from Masterson at least once when he saw her walking home from a store. She also read for another movie role with Masterson and they drove to the audition together.
Defense attorney Cohen then asked Vessey if she had, in fact, attended a party Masterson hosted at a hotel in Hollywood. Vessey responded that Danny's brother Chris, a friend of hers, took her to the party.
"I think he Danny Masterson was deejaying under the name 'Donkey Punch' or something like that," she testified. Judge Olmedo immediately struck her answer from the court record because both sides had agreed before trial that the DJ name was too prejudicial and inflammatory.
"One thing that both sides stipulated to is that they did not want it mentioned in this trial, that during this period, when he's alleged to have raped these women, he performed under the DJ name, Donkey Punch," says Ortega. "DJ Donkey Punch, which is a slang term for a kind of anal rape, the same thing that he's accused of."
"They wanted that kept out because they said it was inflammatory," says Ortega. "A DJ could have a name like that and not be a rapist is basically the theory that the court is going by."
Cohen also introduced a message Vessey sent to Chris Masterson in 2017 that read in part, "Hey Chris, I saw a f---ed up article about Danny. Just wanted to send you guys some support."
On redirect, DA Mueller asked Vessey why she'd sent that message.
"Danny has friends that I've been warned about," Vessey explained. "I wanted to keep everything safe for me, to send a message signaling that I wasn't a part of it and I had tried even through those incidents to keep everything friendly because of my fears. And also because I didn't want to blow up my world."
Vessey, who was never a Scientologist, told jurors on Wednesday that she has experienced harassment and intimidation since she reported the alleged rapes to law enforcement in 2019.
Mueller also asked Vessey how her understanding of the alleged incidents had changed since 1996.
"I didn't process it in 1996," she testified. "I wasn't happy about it, I was upset. I understood it to be non-consensual, but I hadn't consciously categorized it as rape. And when I heard about the case, it just hit me. I remember thinking like - I don't know - I remember just it hitting me fully."
"At that point, did you have an understanding that what happened to you was rape," Mueller asked. "Yes," Vessey replied.
WILL DANNY MASTERSON TESTIFY?
The defense is expected to begin its case on Monday. They've listed three potential expert witnesses on their witness list, but Cohen said in court on Monday that he may only call one, or "perhaps none" of them.
Masterson will need to make a decision in the coming days if he will take the witness stand in his own defense.
"I think attorneys would almost universally suggest to their client it would be a very bad idea for a defendant in a sexual assault case to take the stand," says Ortega. "And I think it's most likely that he won't."
"But, you know, I think about some of the recent cases we've seen -- and they're civil trials, they're different," says Ortega. "But when you see Johnny Depp testifying, when you see Kevin Spacey testifying, both men who were accused of abuse and then seemed to do really well on the stand -- it makes me wonder if Danny isn't tempted to attempt something like that himself. But again, I'm sure his attorneys would be completely against it. And it will probably not happen."
The defense theory has been primarily to pick apart at differences between what Masterson's three accusers said to police in interviews years ago or told friends -- and what they testified to in court.
"This is a very classic approach to any kind of sexual assault case," says Ortega of defense attorney Cohen's strategy.
"He has also said that they colluded because they spoke to each other when they were told not to -- and so he believes it's a cross-pollination/contamination case and one in which the women's stories have changed over time."

Here's a little bit of fun! A single cask bottling of Macallan at cask strength from WhiskyBroker.co.uk.
I have to confess that I don't often drink Macallan. The good stuff's expensive, and the affordable stuff is… a bit predictable and inoffensive for my taste. So it's a treat to try a single cask at cask strength, with no smoothing the rough edges or cosmetic tweaking.
Nose: Apple flavoured NutriGrain bar. Rich tea biscuits. Sour apple sweets. Wheat flour.
Palate: More sour fruit flavours, like Granny Smith apples. Sweet malted barley. Quite hot (even at 49%). Mulled cider.
Finish: Charcoal and black pepper, becoming bitter at the end.
It's like a fruity sour mash whiskey. But…. add some water (about 20%) and it transforms completely. The fruitiness is still there but the sour and bitter notes have softened, revealing the underlying malty, cereal notes. Still appley, but much smoother and cleaner.
Maybe it's just this cask that's a bit off, or perhaps Macallan really shines at lower ABV than other whiskies – either way, this one's definitely better at 40% than 49%.
Interesting stuff from the Edrington chaps. People really go mad for sherried Macallan so it's nice to have a Bourbon cask for a change. Those hallmark apple and pear flavours really shine through, particularly on the nose.

The Charity Charge Show: EP 32: Sam Porritt – Founder of Falling Forward
Abby Pesek
In episode 32 of The Charity Charge Show, our founder Stephen Garten chats with Sam Porritt, founder of the organization Falling Forward.
In August of 2011, Sam suffered a spinal cord injury that resulted from an accident while he was on vacation in Italy. Initially, Sam was paralyzed from the waist down. His recovery from such a catastrophic injury would be a long one. Thankfully, Sam learned that his medical insurance placed no limit on rehabilitation. Fewer than 1% of policies have such a benefit. Sam's insurance covered nearly two years of intensive physical therapy. With the skill and support of many rehab professionals, Sam recovered. He's now able to walk with a cane, drive a car, and work part-time.
During his more than two years in rehab, Sam saw the impact of therapy caps first-hand. Sam met hundreds of patients whose recoveries were cut short when their insurance benefits stopped and they were unable to pay out of their own pockets. In August of 2013, Sam launched the Foundation to give other patients the same opportunity that he had — to continue medical rehabilitation and to recover to their full potential.
Prior to his accident, Sam spent more than 25 years in marketing and advertising, building some of America's largest brands. While working for Payless ShoeSource, Sam's responsibilities included managing the company's Foundation and philanthropic activity. Sam earned an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
