Forget 'What are your strengths and weaknesses?' If you want to get the real dope on prospective employees, ask job candidates these seven questions.

Next week's international climate change conference at Copenhagen is beset with problems of both political will and the substance of what's being advocated, say critics.

The new extension of the home-buyer tax credit gives buyers more time and more opportunity to take advantage. Income limits have changed, for instance, and you no longer have to be a first-time home buyer. Here’s how to grab the newly expanded tax break.

"The court is not without sympathy for Mr. Spitzer's desire to avoid another round of the salacious coverage that has attended his involvement with the Emperor's Club," Rakoff wrote. "Sympathy, however, can neither create jurisdiction nor obviate untimeliness."

Rakoff ruled last month that the government must release sealed documents relating to the origins and scope of last year's prostitution probe, which revealed Spitzer had a tryst with one of the escort service's prostitutes in a Washington, D.C., hotel.

Spitzer, a former state attorney general, stepped down as governor March 12, 2008.

The judge said the documents name Spitzer and 67 other people who were clients of the high-end prostitute service. Those other names, however, will be blacked out.

The government has appealed Rakoff's decision to release the documents, which include FBI applications for wiretaps. Spitzer has filed a notice he will appeal.

Spitzer lawyer Michele Hirshman declined to comment.

Rakoff said last month that the wiretap papers should be unsealed "given the strong and obvious public interest in disclosure."

"There is an obvious interest in obtaining information about the origins of an investigation that led, ultimately, to the resignation of the governor of New York," he wrote.

The ruling came after The New York Times late last year sued to get access to the documents.

The government cited a need to protect the privacy of callers and sensitive investigative techniques as it withheld applications for wiretaps on cell phones, including one used by a woman who booked appointments with prostitutes.

    • U.S. District Judge Jed S. Rakoff ordered prosecutors today to release documents detailing calls on cell phones used by a prostitution ring whose clients included the former governor.

    The New York Times sued late last year to get the material unsealed. The newspaper has agreed to allow the government to withhold the names of 67 customers named in the documents.

    Spitzer resigned last year after details were revealed of a tryst with one of the ring's prostitutes in a Washington hotel. Investigators had been looking into the governor's affairs after noticing unusual activity -- later shown to be payments to prostitutes -- in his bank accounts.

    • Brener headed the Emperors Club VIP. He pleaded guilty last year to conspiracy to commit a prostitution offense and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

    Defense lawyer Murray Richman says his client is 63 and recognizes his actions were wrong.

    Spitzer resigned in disgrace last March after revelations that he'd met a prostitute at a Washington hotel. He was not charged.

    • Prosecutors have asked the judge to give the young madam around two years in prison for her role in managing the Emperors Club VIP escort service.

    Her lawyer says she deserves leniency.

    Suwal was only 20 years old when she got involved in the business through a boyfriend who was nearly three times her age.

    The defense says he psychologically dominated her during the four years they were together, leaving her incapable of making independent decisions.

    Suwal pleaded guilty last spring to charges involving money laundering and promoting prostitution.
