[Q]: The man charged in the 2002 abduction of Elizabeth Smart told investigators that heaven was his home and God had delivered him a young girl to become as his wife, according to recordings of a police interview after his arrest. 
  
 Brian David Mitchell, 57, told police his name was Immanuel David Isaiah. He referred to Smart by the religious name "Shear Jashub" but refused to say he had kidnapped her. 
  
 "By the power of God she was delivered to us," Mitchell said repeatedly to police. 
  
 The account came during a two-hour tape played for jurors Monday as Mitchell's federal trial on charges of kidnapping and unlawful transportation of a minor across state lines entered its third week. 
  
 In the recording, Mitchell fends off questions about Smart's abduction and whether they had sex by spinning religious phrases and comparing his situation to that of apostles who suffered for following Jesus Christ, or to the persecution heaped on Christ himself. 
  
 "It mattereth not what you are saying and how good you think this case is against me, because God has the power to deliver me," Mitchell said during the interview. 
  
 Smart was 14 when she was taken from her home at knifepoint on June 5, 2002. She was recovered March 12, 2003, after motorists spotted Smart on a suburban Salt Lake City street with Mitchell and his now-estranged wife, Wanda Eileen Barzee. 
  
 In her testimony last week, Smart said Mitchell used a jagged-edged knife to threaten her life and that of her family, before taking her and keeping her tethered on a metal cable. She said she endured nearly daily rapes during her nine months of captivity, was forced to use drugs and alcohol, and was taken against her will to California. 
  
 Now, 23, Smart also said Mitchell proclaimed he was a religious prophet who would usher in the second-coming of Jesus Christ. 
  
 "You want to accuse me of being a diabolical, evil criminal. ... I am a servant of the Lord," Mitchell insisted to police. "She's had a glorious experience." 
  
 Police scoffed at Mitchell's responses and said Christ would not have lied about his identity, threatened to kill children or taken a young girl by force to have sex. 
  
 FBI agent George Dougherty called Mitchell a hypocrite and a fraud in the interview. 
  
 "You are not a servant of Jesus Christ and you need to get over that," Dougherty said, his voice rising. 
  
 Although he becomes argumentative during the interview, Mitchell remains mostly calm, deftly engaging in a verbal parry with the detectives. He speeds up or slows down his speech to match the pace detectives keep as they hurl questions at him. Mitchell frequently closes his eyes when he speaks, or he turns his back to detectives. He sings hymns during breaks in the interview and when he tires of the questioning. 
  
 Also Monday, prosecutors questioned four people who encountered Mitchell, Smart and Barzee while they wintered near San Diego and as they hitchhiked back to Utah in early March 2003. 
  
 In each instance, witnesses said they never heard Smart speak but the expression in her eyes was blank or fearful. 
  
 Trevelin Colianni saw the trio at a Burger King in Las Vegas and said he noticed them because of the their strange dress _ Smart was wearing a gray wig and sunglasses _ and because Mitchell never let go of Smart's wrist. Colianni called Las Vegas police but later saw the three on the street walking away from the restaurant. 
  
 "It was a look that I'll never forget," Colianni said, describing Smart. "She looked very frightened, very nervous. She looked like her face was quivering ... like a 'help me' look on her face." 
  
 Mitchell's attorneys have not disputed the facts of the abduction but contend that he is mentally ill and can't be held responsible for his actions. 
  
 In a parallel state case, Mitchell was diagnosed with a rare delusional disorder and deemed incompetent for trial. 
  
 U.S. District Judge Dale Kimball, however, ruled that Mitchell was competent for the federal proceedings. 
  
 Prosecutors contend Mitchell is faking psychiatric symptoms. He has been removed from the courtroom each day of the trial for disrupting the proceedings by singing hymns. He watches the trial on closed-circuit television from a holding cell. ||||| Focused crawls are collections of frequently-updated webcrawl data from narrow (as opposed to broad or wide) web crawls, often focused on a single domain or subdomain. |||||
[A]: Trial resumed in the Elizabeth Smart kidnapping case today, with jurors hearing testimony that Brian David Mitchell was not delusional, but rather deliberately controlling and intimidating, reports the Salt Lake Tribune. Mitchell "has a personality that is much larger than I’ve ever encountered," testified a former cop who ran into Mitchell, his wife, and Smart on the street. "He gave me a look that was so intimidating, so encompassed, he stopped me before I could say hello." Jurors also watched a tape of a two-hour interrogation of Mitchell after his arrest. In it, he tells cops that Smart was "delivered to us" "by the power of God" and derided the authorities' case against him, saying "it mattereth not ... because God has the power to deliver me." Mitchell also compared his persecution to that of Jesus's followers, sang hymns when sick of questioning, and said Smart had had "a glorious experience." Smart watched today's proceedings from the gallery, reports the AP.


[Q]: Tim Childers, a volunteer at the Jonesboro Salvation Army, stirs soup at the shelter before dinner Monday afternoon. ||||| HOXIE, Ark. (AP) — A first-time political candidate in northeast Arkansas has learned a valuable civics lesson: vote early. 
  
 Cliff Farmer didn't make it to the polls in time to vote Tuesday, and his race for a Hoxie City Council seat ended up as a tie. 
  
 The Jonesboro Sun reports Farmer and his wife were returning from a Florida vacation on Tuesday when their plane landed only an hour before polls closed. The plane landed in Memphis, Tennessee, which is 80 miles (130 kilometers) from Hoxie. 
  
 His wife voted early, but Farmer said he'd intended to vote after they returned. That resulted in Farmer and incumbent Alderwoman Becky Linebaugh each receiving 223 votes. Linebaugh says she voted. 
  
 A winner will be declared next week by a coin toss or another game of chance. |||||

[Q]: Yesterday evening, Gawker.com published a story about the CFO of Conde Nast texting an escort. It was an editorial call, a close call around which there were more internal disagreements than usual. And it is a decision I regret. 
  
 The story involves extortion, illegality and reckless behavior, sufficient justification at least in tabloid news terms. The account was true and well-reported. It concerns a senior business executive at one of the most powerful media companies on the planet. 
  
 In the early days of the internet, that would have been enough. “We put truths on the internet.” That has been the longstanding position of Gawker journalists, some of the most uncompromising and uncompromised on the internet. I cannot blame our editors and writers for pursuing that original mission. 
  
 But the media environment has changed, our readers have changed, and I have changed. Not only is criticism of yesterday’s piece from readers intense, but much of what they’ve said has resonated. Some of our own writers, proud to work at one of the only independent media companies, are equally appalled. 
  
 I believe this public mood reflects a growing recognition that we all have secrets, and they are not all equally worthy of exposure. I can’t defend yesterday’s story as I can our coverage of Bill O’Reilly, Hillary Clinton or Hulk Hogan. 
  
 We are proud of running stories that others shy away from, often to preserve relationships or access. But the line has moved. And Gawker has an influence and audience that demands greater editorial restraint.

 Gawker is no longer the insolent blog that began in 2003. It does important and interesting journalism about politicians, celebrities and other major public figures. This story about the former Treasury Secretary’s brother does not rise to the level that our flagship site should be publishing. 
  
 The point of this story was not in my view sufficient to offset the embarrassment to the subject and his family. Accordingly, I have had the post taken down. It is the first time we have removed a significant news story for any reason other than factual error or legal settlement. 
  
 Every story is a judgment call. As we go forward, we will hew to our mission of reporting and publishing important stories that our competitors are too timid, or self-consciously upright, to pursue. There will always be stories that critics attack as inappropriate or unjustified; and we will no doubt again offend the sensibilities of some industries or interest groups.

 This action will not turn back the clock. David Geithner’s embarrassment will not be eased. But this decision will establish a clear standard for future stories. It is not enough for them simply to be true. They have to reveal something meaningful. They have to be true and interesting. These texts were interesting, but not enough, in my view. 
  
 In light of Gawker’s past rhetoric about our fearlessness and independence, this can be seen as a capitulation. And perhaps, to some extent, it is. But it is motivated by a sincere effort build a strong independent media company, and to evolve with the audience we serve. ||||| These crawls are part of an effort to archive pages as they are created and archive the pages that they refer to.

[A]:
A pair of controversial videos were at the center of two of this week's public apologies: Bad Samaritan: “I want to offer a public apology to the families of the kids that got injured or deceased in the car accident. I never intended it to be a video that came across as a gore video. I wanted to put the video out there so other kids could see it and learn from the mistake of speeding and driving recklessly.”—Paul Pelton, an Ohio man charged after filming the aftermath of a deadly car accident instead of helping the victims. Wrong tone: “Our top priority is the passionate care that we provide. In our video, one of our staff members speaks in a way that does not reflect that compassion. This is unacceptable, and I personally apologize for the staff member’s tone and statements."—Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood, after an undercover video surfaced of a staffer talking about fetal organs. Bad timing: “We apologize to readers and mourn with the victims’ relatives and loved ones."—Ria Novosti, state-owned news agency in Russia, after posting a happy-go-lucky news quiz ("Congratulations! Your answer is correct") about the crash of a Malaysian airliner over Ukraine on the one-year anniversary. Making matters worse is that many blame Russia, at least pro-Russian rebels, for the crash. Jumping the gun: "An associate accidentally discarded a bag of goldfish that had just arrived at the store and appeared to all be deceased. When a customer noticed the mistake, an associate was able to recover the few live fish and place them into a tank. We regret the mistake and are reviewing our policies to avoid future errors.”—PetSmart, after an employee in Michigan tossed live fish in the trash. Unposted: "The point of this story was not in my view sufficient to offset the embarrassment to the subject and his family. Accordingly, I have had the post taken down. It is the first time we have removed a significant news story for any reason other than factual error or legal settlement."—Nick Denton of Gawker, explaining why he made the rare move to pull a salacious story.
