OLMSTEAD ET AL. v. UNITED STATES. GREEN ET AL. v. SAME. McINNIS v. SAME.
Nos. 493, 532 and 533.
Supreme Court of United States. Argued February 20, 21, 1928. Decided June 4, 1928.
MR. JUSTICE BRANDEIS, dissenting.
The defendants were convicted of conspiring to violate the National Prohibition Act. Before any of the persons now charged had been arrested or indicted, the telephones by means of which they habitually communicated with one another and with others had been tapped by federal officers. To this end, a lineman of long experience in wire-tapping was employed, on behalf of the Government and at its expense. He tapped eight telephones, some in the homes of the persons charged, some in their offices. Acting on behalf of the Government and in their official capacity, at least six other prohibition agents listened over the tapped wires and reported the messages taken. Their operations extended over a period of nearly five months. The type-written record of the notes of conversations overheard occupies 775 typewritten pages. By objections seasonably made and persistently renewed, the defendants objected to the admission of the evidence obtained by wire-tapping, on the ground that the Government's wire-tapping constituted an unreasonable search and seizure, in violation of the Fourth Amendment; and that the use as evidence of the conversations overheard compelled the defendants to be witnesses against themselves, in violation of the Fifth Amendment.
The Government makes no attempt to defend the methods employed by its officers. Indeed, it concedes 472*472 that if wire-tapping can be deemed a search and seizure within the Fourth Amendment, such wire-tapping as was practiced in the case at bar was an unreasonable search and seizure, and that the evidence thus obtained was inadmissible. But it relies on the language of the Amendment; and it claims that the protection given thereby cannot properly be held to include a telephone conversation.
"We must never forget," said Mr. Chief Justice Marshall in McCulloch v. Maryland, 4 Wheat. 316, 407, "that it is a constitution we are expounding." Since then, this Court has repeatedly sustained the exercise of power by Congress, under various clauses of that instrument, over objects of which the Fathers could not have dreamed. See Pensacola Telegraph Co. v. Western Union Telegraph Co., 96 U.S. 1, 9; Northern Pacific Ry. Co. v. North Dakota, 250 U.S. 135; Dakota Central Telephone Co. v. South Dakota, 250 U.S. 163; Brooks v. United States, 267 U.S. 432. We have likewise held that general limitations on the powers of Government, like those embodied in the due process clauses of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, do not forbid the United States or the States from meeting modern conditions by regulations which "a century ago, or even half a century ago, probably would have been rejected as arbitrary and oppressive." Village of Euclid v. Ambler Realty Co., 272 U.S. 365, 387; Buck v. Bell, 274 U.S. 200. Clauses guaranteeing to the individual protection against specific abuses of power, must have a similar capacity of adaptation to a changing world. It was with reference to such a clause that this Court said in Weems v. United States, 217 U.S. 349, 373: "Legislation, both statutory and constitutional, is enacted, it is true, from an experience of evils, but its general language should not, therefore, be necessarily confined to the form that evil had theretofore taken. Time works changes, brings into existence new conditions 473*473 and purposes. Therefore a principle to be vital must be capable of wider application than the mischief which gave it birth. This is peculiarly true of constitutions. They are not ephemeral enactments, designed to meet passing occasions. They are, to use the words of Chief Justice Marshall `designed to approach immortality as nearly as human institutions can approach it.' The future is their care and provision for events of good and bad tendencies of which no prophecy can be made. In the application of a constitution, therefore, our contemplation cannot be only of what has been but of what may be. Under any other rule a constitution would indeed be as easy of application as it would be deficient in efficacy and power. Its general principles would have little value and be converted by precedent into impotent and lifeless formulas. Rights declared in words might be lost in reality."
When the Fourth and Fifth Amendments were adopted, "the form that evil had theretofore taken," had been necessarily simple. Force and violence were then the only means known to man by which a Government could directly effect self-incrimination. It could compel the individual to testify a compulsion effected, if need be, by torture. It could secure possession of his papers and other articles incident to his private life a seizure effected, if need be, by breaking and entry. Protection against such invasion of "the sanctities of a man's home and the privacies of life" was provided in the Fourth and Fifth Amendments by specific language. Boyd v. United States, 116 U.S. 616, 630. But "time works changes, brings into existence new conditions and purposes." Subtler and more far-reaching means of invading privacy have become available to the Government. Discovery and invention have made it possible for the Government, by means far more effective than stretching upon the rack, to obtain disclosure in court of what is whispered in the closet.
474*474 Moreover, "in the application of a constitution, our contemplation cannot be only of what has been but of what may be." The progress of science in furnishing the Government with means of espionage is not likely to stop with wire-tapping. Ways may some day be developed by which the Government, without removing papers from secret drawers, can reproduce them in court, and by which it will be enabled to expose to a jury the most intimate occurrences of the home. Advances in the psychic and related sciences may bring means of exploring unexpressed beliefs, thoughts and emotions. "That places the liberty of every man in the hands of every petty officer" was said by James Otis of much lesser intrusions than these.[1] To Lord Camden, a far slighter intrusions seemed "subversive of all the comforts of society."[2] Can it be that the Constitution affords no protection against such invasions of individual security?
A sufficient answer is found in Boyd v. United States, 116 U.S. 616, 627-630, a case that will be remembered as long as civil liberty lives in the United States. This Court there reviewed the history that lay behind the Fourth and Fifth Amendments. We said with reference to Lord Camden's judgment in Entick v. Carrington, 19 Howell's State Trials, 1030: "The principles laid down in this opinion affect the very essence of constitutional liberty and security. They reach farther than the concrete form of the case there before the court, with its adventitious circumstances; they apply to all invasions on the part of the Government and its employes of the sanctities of a man's home and the privacies of life. It is not the breaking of his doors, and the rummaging of his drawers, that constitutes the essence of the offence; but it is the invasion of his indefeasible right of personal security, 475*475 personal liberty and private property, where that right has never been forfeited by his conviction of some public offence, it is the invasion of this sacred right which underlies and constitutes the essence of Lord Camden's judgment. Breaking into a house and opening boxes and drawers are circumstances of aggravation; but any forcible and compulsory extortion of a man's own testimony or of his private papers to be used as evidence of a crime or to forfeit his goods, is within the condemnation of that judgment. In this regard the Fourth and Fifth Amendments run almost into each other."[3]
In Ex parte Jackson, 96 U.S. 727, it was held that a sealed letter entrusted to the mail is protected by the Amendments. The mail is a public service furnished by the Government. The telephone is a public service furnished by its authority. There is, in essence, no difference between the sealed letter and the private telephone message. As Judge Rudkin said below: "True the one is visible, the other invisible; the one is tangible, the other intangible; the one is sealed and the other unsealed, but these are distinctions without a difference." The evil incident to invasion of the privacy of the telephone is far greater than that involved in tampering with the mails. Whenever a telephone line is tapped, the privacy of the persons at both ends of the line is invaded and all conversations 476*476 between them upon any subject, and although proper, confidential and privileged, may be overheard. Moreover, the tapping of one man's telephone line involves the tapping of the telephone of every other person whom he may call or who may call him. As a means of espionage, writs of assistance and general warrants are but puny instruments of tyranny and oppression when compared with wire-tapping.
Time and again, this Court in giving effect to the principle underlying the Fourth Amendment, has refused to place an unduly literal construction upon it. This was notably illustrated in the Boyd case itself. Taking language in its ordinary meaning, there is no "search" or "seizure" when a defendant is required to produce a document in the orderly process of a court's procedure. "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures," would not be violated, under any ordinary construction of language, by compelling obedience to a subpoena. But this Court holds the evidence inadmissible simply because the information leading to the issue of the subpoena has been unlawfully secured. Silverthorne Lumber Co. v. United States, 251 U.S. 385. Literally, there is no "search" or "seizure" when a friendly visitor abstracts papers from an office; yet we held in Gouled v. United States, 255 U.S. 298, that evidence so obtained could not be used. No court which looked at the words of the Amendment rather than at its underlying purpose would hold, as this Court did in Ex parte Jackson, 96 U.S. 727, 733, that its protection extended to letters in the mails. The provision against self-incrimination in the Fifth Amendment has been given an equally broad construction. The language is: "No person. . . shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself." Yet we have held, not only that the 477*477 protection of the Amendment extends to a witness before a grand jury, although he has not been charged with crime, Counselman v. Hitchcock, 142 U.S. 547, 562, 586. but that: "It applies alike to civil and criminal proceedings, wherever the answer might tend to subject to criminal responsibility him who gives it. The privilege protects a mere witness as fully as it does one who is also a party defendant." McCarthy v. Arndstein, 266 U.S. 34, 40. The narrow language of the Amendment has been consistently construed in the light of its object, "to insure that a person should not be compelled, when acting as a witness in any investigation, to give testimony which might tend to show that he himself had committed a crime. The privilege is limited to criminal matters, but it is as broad as the mischief against which it seeks to guard." Counselman v. Hitchcock, supra, p. 562.
Decisions of this Court applying the principle of the Boyd case have settled these things. Unjustified search and seizure violates the Fourth Amendment, whatever the character of the paper;[4] whether the paper when taken by the federal officers was in the home,[5] in an office[6] or elsewhere;[7] whether the taking was effected by force,[8] by 478*478 fraud,[9] or in the orderly process of a court's procedure.[10] From these decisions, it follows necessarily that the Amendment is violated by the officer's reading the paper without a physical seizure, without his even touching it; and that use, in any criminal proceeding, of the contents of the paper so examined as where they are testified to by a federal officer who thus saw the document or where, through knowledge so obtained, a copy has been procured elsewhere[11] any such use constitutes a violation of the Fifth Amendment.
The protection guaranteed by the Amendments is much broader in scope. The makers of our Constitution undertook to secure conditions favorable to the pursuit of happiness. They recognized the significance of man's spiritual nature, of his feelings and of his intellect. They knew that only a part of the pain, pleasure and satisfactions of life are to be found in material things. They sought to protect Americans in their beliefs, their thoughts, their emotions and their sensations. They conferred, as against the Government, the right to be let alone the most comprehensive of rights and the right most valued by civilized men. To protect that right, every unjustifiable intrusion by the Government upon the privacy of the individual, whatever the means employed, must be deemed a violation of the Fourth Amendment. And the use, as evidence 479*479 in a criminal proceeding, of facts ascertained by such intrusion must be deemed a violation of the Fifth.
Applying to the Fourth and Fifth Amendments the established rule of construction, the defendants' objections to the evidence obtained by wire-tapping must, in my opinion, be sustained. It is, of course, immaterial where the physical connection with the telephone wires leading into the defendants' premises was made. And it is also immaterial that the intrusion was in aid of law enforcement. Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the Government's purposes are beneficent. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding.[12]
Independently of the constitutional question, I am of opinion that the judgment should be reversed. By the laws of Washington, wire-tapping is a crime.[13] Pierce's 480*480 Code, 1921, § 8976(18). To prove its case, the Government was obliged to lay bare the crimes committed by its officers on its behalf. A federal court should not permit such a prosecution to continue. Compare Harkin v. Brundage, 276 U.S. 36, id. 604.
481*481 The situation in the case at bar differs widely from that presented in Burdeau v. McDowell, 256 U.S. 465. There, only a single lot of papers was involved. They had been obtained by a private detective while acting on behalf of a private party; without the knowledge of any federal official; long before anyone had thought of instituting a 482*482 federal prosecution. Here, the evidence obtained by crime was obtained at the Government's expense, by its officers, while acting on its behalf; the officers who committed these crimes are the same officers who were charged with the enforcement of the Prohibition Act; the crimes of these officers were committed for the purpose of securing evidence with which to obtain an indictment and to secure a conviction. The evidence so obtained constitutes the warp and woof of the Government's case. The aggregate of the Government evidence occupies 306 pages of the printed record. More than 210 of them are filled by recitals of the details of the wire-tapping and of facts ascertained thereby.[14] There is literally no other evidence of guilt on the part of some of the defendants except that illegally obtained by these officers. As to nearly all the defendants (except those who admitted guilt), the evidence relied upon to secure a conviction consisted mainly of that which these officers had so obtained by violating the state law.
As Judge Rudkin said below: "Here we are concerned with neither eavesdroppers nor thieves. Nor are we concerned with the acts of private individuals. . . . We are concerned only with the acts of federal agents whose powers are limited and controlled by the Constitution of the United States." The Eighteenth Amendment has not in terms empowered Congress to authorize anyone to violate the criminal laws of a State. And Congress has never purported to do so. Compare Maryland v. Soper, 270 U.S. 9. The terms of appointment of federal prohibition agents do not purport to confer upon them authority to violate any criminal law. Their superior officer, the Secretary of the Treasury, has not instructed them to commit 483*483 crime on behalf of the United States. It may be assumed that the Attorney General of the United States did not give any such instruction.[15]
When these unlawful acts were committed, they were crimes only of the officers individually. The Government was innocent, in legal contemplation; for no federal official is authorized to commit a crime on its behalf. When the Government, having full knowledge, sought, through the Department of Justice, to avail itself of the fruits of these acts in order to accomplish its own ends, it assumed moral responsibility for the officers' crimes. Compare The Paquete Habana, 189 U.S. 453, 465; O'Reilly deCamara v. Brooke, 209 U.S. 45, 52; Dodge v. United States, 272 U.S. 530, 532; Gambino v. United States, 275 U.S. 310. And if this Court should permit the Government, by means of its officers' crimes, to effect its purpose of punishing the defendants, there would seem to be present all the elements of a ratification. If so, the Government itself would become a lawbreaker.
Will this Court by sustaining the judgment below sanction such conduct on the part of the Executive? The governing principle has long been settled. It is that a court will not redress a wrong when he who invokes its aid has unclean hands.[16] The maxim of unclean hands comes 484*484 from courts of equity.[17] But the principle prevails also in courts of law. Its common application is in civil actions between private parties. Where the Government is the actor, the reasons for applying it are even more persuasive. Where the remedies invoked are those of the criminal law, the reasons are compelling.[18]
The door of a court is not barred because the plaintiff has committed a crime. The confirmed criminal is as much entitled to redress as his most virtuous fellow citizen; no record of crime, however long, makes one an outlaw. The court's aid is denied only when he who seeks it has violated the law in connection with the very transaction as to which he seeks legal redress.[19] Then aid is denied despite the defendant's wrong. It is denied in order to maintain respect for law; in order is to promote confidence in the administration of justice; in order to preserve the judicial process from contamination. The rule is one, not of action, but of inaction. It is sometimes 485*485 spoken of as a rule of substantive law. But it extends to matters of procedure as well.[20] A defense may be waived. It is waived when not pleaded. But the objection that the plaintiff comes with unclean hands will be taken by the court itself.[21] It will be taken despite the wish to the contrary of all the parties to the litigation. The court protects itself.
Decency, security and liberty alike demand that government officials shall be subjected to the same rules of conduct that are commands to the citizen. In a government of laws, existence of the government will be imperilled if it fails to observe the law scrupulously. Our Government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the Government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. To declare that in the administration of the criminal law the end justifies the means to declare that the Government may commit crimes in order to secure the conviction of a private criminal would bring terrible retribution. Against that pernicious doctrine this Court should resolutely set its face.

In SmartClient release 8.0 (isc.version number "SC_SNAPSHOT-2011-01-05") a bug was introduced whereby HTMLFlow components would throw an error on draw().
The following patch code added to the HTML bootstrap file in your application after loading the SmartClient libraries fixes this issue: Code:
if (window.isc != null) { if (isc.version.startsWith("SC_SNAPSHOT-2011-01-05/")) { if (isc.HTMLFlow != null) { isc.HTMLFlow.addProperties({modifyContent:function () {}}); } } else { isc.Log.logWarn("Patch for SmartClient 8.0 final release (reported version 'SC_SNAPSHOT-2011-01-05/') " + "included in this application. " + "You are currently running SmartClient verion '"+ isc.version + "'. This patch is not compatible with this build and will have no effect. " + "It should be removed from your application source."); } } To apply the patch code to a SmartGWT application, simply add a <script> block containing the above code to the bootstrap HTML file under your war directory, after the <script src=applicationname/applicationname.nocache.js></script> block.

Here's an idea that I bet isn't getting much play in the West Wing: How about in 2014, the President start treating Millennials like adults instead of adult children? Even better, he could support policies that will enable more Millennials to lead adult lives.

If there was ever a small opening for the GOP to win the hearts and minds of millennials, pot might be the golden ticket.

The hour will soon arrive when Texas State Sen. Wendy Davis (D) announces whether she will run for governor, and if she does, Texas politics will never be the same.
Our country's future demands that we embrace our next generation of leaders -- the often-underestimated Millennials -- who are the largest, most diverse, and most progressive generation the country has ever seen.

Rising civic participation among young voters should be greeted with the same bipartisan joy with which the 26th Amendment passed. But instead, it's been met with the opposite: a barrage of state-level laws meant to make it harder for young people to vote.
I'm convinced that the outpouring of political activity on social networks -- especially around hot-button social issues like marriage equality -- is a frustrated attempt to engage by a generation of people unsure of how else to make change.
If skepticism from the Supreme Court's conservative wing is any indication, a core provision of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 could be struck down this year. This should alarm anyone who views voting as a fundamental right and not a "racial entitlement."
As the first generation to come of age with new technologies at our fingertips, we express ourselves differently. Now is the time for us to reestablish new tenets of political expression and think outside the proverbial box.
I truly believe that this generation is different. We have an aura of tolerance and hope, and America will come closer than it ever has before to total equality in our lifetime.
We already know young Americans were a decisive voting bloc in the 2012 election cycle; it wasn't a fluke. But showing up at the voting booth isn't enough. It's time to get involved and serve our country and the next generation by helping the president move this country forward.

SOURCE: "An Analysis of Their Eyes Were Watching God. Twentieth-Century Literary Criticism, Vol. 121. Farmington Hills, Mich.: Gale Group, 2002.
In the following original essay, Whitt examines Hurston's work on a number of levels, assessing the plot, characters, themes, evolution of the work, the novel's historical significance, and how the work has been studied since its publication. The parenthetical page numbers that appear throughout this essay refer to the edition of Their Eyes Were Watching God published by J. B. Lippincott (Philadelphia) in 1937.
The Characters of Their Eyes Were Watching God
Janie Crawford Killicks Starks Woods is the protagonist of the novel. In most critical commentaries she is referred to as Janie Crawford, her birth name. Janie was born after her mother was raped by her white schoolteacher; Janie is raised by her maternal grandmother. Janie moves through...

HELP: Rooted Nook Touch not recognizing SD card anymore after repartition attempt
I rooted my Nook Touch using NookManager successfully, but wanted more usable space on my 32GB SD card afterwards, since the rooting process resulted in two readable partitions with roughly 250 MB (NookBackup) and 80 MB (NookManager), while the rest of the card's unallocated space can't be accessed.
I posted a help thread here in the Nook developer's corner earlier and was told I might have better luck with the xda deveopers forum, so I posted for help there and was told to simply repartition my card using partition magic, which isn't free. Except, when I loaded the card into my laptop's SD card reader, I got a prompt saying that the card was unformatted and would I like to format it now? I know formatting would wipe all the data (which I couldn't access anyway since the cardreader wouldn't read the card), so I decided to try a data recovery using Easeus partition manager (couldn't do an image backup because of the inability to read the card's contents). The data seems to have been recovered completely, but I don't know how to return the data to the card in the same state it was before I did the reformat. Also, I tried repartitioning the SD card after recovering the data and reformatting, but Minitool Partition Wizard won't create the partitions that I select, and now when I reinsert the SD card into the Nook it won't recognize the card either. Hope someone here can help me. If the worst case scenario happens I won't be able to return my Nook to stock state either, because the backup image was made using NookManager, and all the data is probably buried somewhere in the data recovery I made earlier which I don't know how to re-incorporate into the card. Note to mods: This was originally posted in the general nook thread, but I reposted here at ravensknight's suggestion. Can't seem to delete the original thread though. |

Android uses the Linux/Unix file system, which is why you can't see or access the partitions in your laptop. Download the latest version of Ubuntu Linux, burn it to CD and boot your laptop with it. You can run Ubuntu without having to install it on your laptop.
Once you're in Ubuntu, you can do what you want with the files on your SD card. You can use GParted on Linux instead of MiniTool Partition Wizard. |

FWIW through some trials/errors I was able to recover the card by first reformatting it with Windows (while in Windows Explorer right click on the SDcard then select "Format"), then reformatting with SD Formatter (https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/) with the Full OverWrite option. From this experience I now have a few small cards (2GB-4GB, hence relatively inexpensive) set aside for backup/flashing/rooting uses. Quote:

Thanks, already decided against using my 8GB, for much the same reason. This definitely decides me to get hold of a smaller card or 2 to reserve for that.
PS. The SD Formatter is now up to version 4 https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/ |

There is a bug in IE 5 which I curse, even though I've never used IE 5 in my life. This bug sends the page you were on as the referrer to the page you go to, even if you typed in a new URL or selected a bookmark rather than clicking a link on the old page. This means that my tidy referrer logs are cluttered up by IE 5 users who go to my site or to Segfault and tell me what page they were on before, even if that page has no links to my site or to Segfault. It annoys me.
I'm pretty sure this only happens with IE 5 users, which is why I pin the blame on IE 5.

Press release from GlobeNewswire (a Nasdaq OMX company)
FirstService Makes Decision to Transition Out of Service Contract
Monday, June 25, 2012
FirstService Makes Decision to Transition Out of Service Contract03:50 EDT Monday, June 25, 2012TORONTO, June 25, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FirstService Corporation (TSX:FSV) (Nasdaq:FSRV) (TSX:FSV.PR.U) (TSX:FSV.DB.U) today announced that Field Asset Services ("FAS"), a unit of its Property Services division, has decided to transition out of a large property services agreement with a government sponsored entity ("GSE") in the US. All amounts are in US dollars.
The agreement, initially awarded in 2008, was reset earlier this year with a significantly increased scope in a very competitive environment. FAS attempted to provide services under the revised terms, but determined it could not do so profitably at an acceptable quality standard. After discussions with the client, it was agreed that FAS would transition out of the contract as soon as August 1, 2012.
The current annual run rate of revenues generated by the agreement is approximately $100 million, down 30% from the prior year, as a result of industry-wide reductions in order volumes consistent with declines in foreclosure activity in the US. Excluding approximately $2 million in pre-tax reorganization charges which will be taken in the third quarter, the impact on Adjusted EBITDA (note 1) is expected to be positive.
"We made the difficult decision to transition out of this contract in our Property Services division when it became clear it was not profitable," said Jay S. Hennick, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of FirstService Corporation. "Since winning this assignment back in 2008, our team consistently exceeded quality and service standards and was rewarded with increased volumes and share over the years. However, as market conditions changed and foreclosure volumes declined, the scope of the services expected increased without commensurate compensation. As a result, we exit a relationship representing about 4% of our revenues but positively impact our EBITDA going forward," he concluded.About FirstService Corporation
FirstService Corporation is a global leader in the rapidly growing real estate services sector, providing a variety of services in commercial real estate, residential property management and property services. As one of the largest property managers in the world, FirstService manages more than 2.3 billion square feet of residential and commercial properties through its three industry-leading service platforms: Colliers International, one of the largest global players in commercial real estate; FirstService Residential Management, the largest manager of residential communities in North America; and Property Services, one of North America's largest providers of property-related services delivered through franchise and contractor networks.

This press release includes or may include forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include the Company's financial performance outlook and statements regarding goals, beliefs, strategies, objectives, plans or current expectations. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements contemplated in the forward-looking statements. Such factors include: (i) general economic and business conditions, which will, among other things, impact demand for the Company's services and the cost of providing services; (ii) the ability of the Company to implement its business strategy, including the Company's ability to acquire suitable acquisition candidates on acceptable terms and successfully integrate newly acquired businesses with its existing businesses; (iii) changes in or the failure to comply with government regulations; and (iv) other factors which are described in the Company's filings with applicable Canadian and United States securities regulatory authorities (which factors are adopted herein).Note
1. Definition of Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net earnings, adjusted to exclude: (i) income tax; (ii) other expense (income); (iii) interest expense; (iv) depreciation and amortization; (v) acquisition-related items; (vi) stock-based compensation expense and (vii) reorganization charges. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate its own operating performance, its ability to service debt, and as an integral part of its planning and reporting systems. Additionally, this measure is used in conjunction with discounted cash flow models to determine the Company's overall enterprise valuation and to evaluate acquisition targets. Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a supplemental measure because the Company believes such a measure is useful to investors as a reasonable indicator of operating performance, due to the low capital intensity of the Company's service operations. The Company believes this measure is a financial metric used by many investors to compare companies, especially in the services industry. This measure is not a recognized measure of financial performance under GAAP in the United States, and should not be considered as a substitute for operating earnings, net earnings or cash flow from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company's method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA may differ from other issuers and accordingly, this measure may not be comparable to measures used by other issuers.CONTACT: Jay S. Hennick

14 month girl lies down on walks! Hi Everyone! I have been a big reader of this site since we got beautiful Asscher 1 year ago! (I have finally figured out how to start a thread.. pathetic!) She's almost 14 months. So, she's wonderful. A joy. Best thing that ever happened to us... BUT! She is controlling the walks and it's driving me crazy. We will start on a walk and she will lie down because she doesn't want to go in a certain direction. She doesn't only lie down, but she does "jelly" like when bratty kids are having tantrums and turn into spaghetti and you can't even pick them up! She's 75 pounds and lies on her back because she knows I am angry. Then we walk, lies down in the shade, walks, lies down because she sees a dog and wants to wait for them to so she can try to play. I first tried a collar, then a choke collar (not metal, just rope) then a freedom harness. I obviously don't want to strangle her or drag her along the street but this is getting ridiculous. Sometimes I end up in tears because I literally can't move her. i know she isn't injured because I take her to a dog park and she runs like mad, I take her to the beach and she runs around like crazy playing with other dogs etc. When we are at my parent's house with a backyard she doesn't sit still. (We live in an apartment) Also, she's starting to BARK on our walks.. like if she sees someone coming out of an apartment, or sees something new on the street like a bag of garbage that usually isnt there- she will also bark at a random shopping cart on the sidewalk. She also barks when there is someone new coming to the door. I don't mind a watch dog but this is getting SILLY!! We live in Los Angeles, so there is a lot of concert and yuck things on the street. Anyone have any advice? I feel like my tempting with treat is not working- I need some serious help! i have a firm voice when I'm a angry but she just laughs at me. I love her more than anything but I'm frustrated. HELP!! |

ha ha ha ha ((sorry to laugh)) but for a second there, I thought you were talking about my Buddy! Buddy is now 10 years old and this has been a problem for me since he was a puppy. Buddy is smart and knows where he wants to go and what he wants to do. He knows that certain places are no fun whereas others will be more benefical He loves the car so usually will do everything he can to get me to take him rather than walk. He glues his bummie. I am a terrible leader/trainer. I always just gave in and did what he wanted to do. This is WRONG!! He has me trained soooo well, now the only way I can get him to go home is if I promise to take him for ice cream. He wants the ice cream and knows if he glues his butt he will get it. If I cant get to the 7-11 to get his ice cream (if I am in a hurry), I will have to carry him!! This is not a good look. This behavior can be VERY annoying. I really wish I had have been a better leader but feel that since he is now 10, I might as well just let him be a brat. Best of luck! I hope you are able to break your baby's habbit....or make sure you carry around lots of ice cream money in your pocket. |
| ||||
I have (had) a little bit the same problems with spoiled Lilly. She just would stop on walks. Especially if she realized that it won't go in direction of the dog park but into 'nowhere's land". "Bummie Glue", that's what she did - she woul just look at me and not move forward at all. I lured her ...but then she did do it again a couple steps ahead, so I thought that is not going to work. What helps is, I won't let her go into it. I will be on strike, too. Like - this way or no way...and just wait. If nothing happens - I wiggle her rear end or even pick her up for a second (70 pounds)...she hates that. I did that like 5 times on 5 different walks...and now I just have to wiggle her rear end and she knows I won't give up...that I am the leader (at least a little bit .... You're not alone!!! Hope, that helps a little Heike & Lilly

I'm not sure you are walking Tayla. She does the same thing. I've tried everything. Dragging works, but it rubs a lot of fur off LOL. Just kidding. I have found recently that what works best is that if she sits or lays down I just sit down at the end of the leash. Within a few seconds she gets up, I get up and we go on with our walk. I've only just started trying this so I don't know if my success rate is just an accident or something that actually works. |

Phew! Glad I am not alone!! So She is just a BRAT?!?! I was hoping she would grow out of this but it seems like there are some 10 year olds that do it too! honestly, i've tried the treat thing but I make her smell it and then she gets up. I think she needs to get up on her own and then I reward her. Hiking!?!? I find it so odd that a dog doesn't want to go on a hike! We live in an apartment and I would think her favorite thing to do would to run, sniff and walk around! NOPE!! I'll try to figure out how to load a picture of her. Does anyone else think navigating this site is hard? Or just the 29 year old college grad? It is VERY hot out so maybe it's the heat that is making her so bratty. Any advice on the BARKING at everything on walks? She HATES strollers!! I can't have her barking at a stroller. I am trying to familiarize these things to her. |
| |||
where is the slip collar placed? It should be as high has possible, without your dog escaping... you get better control w/o the fear of choking your dog (I do admit... sometimes I'm sloppy and don't follow what I type)... you can gently lead your dog (not your dog leading you). I use a martingale collar as well.

Wow I'm glad I found this thread! I was going to make a new one, because my Rusty does not like walking the places I take him. He will just stop and sits, and then heads in the direction he wants to go (or does not seem interested in walking at all). I do not allow Rusty to get his way most of the time tho. I will wait, and give him time, and I will pet and then try again. Most of the time it works, but sometimes it does not. I hope Rusty will out grow this behavior when he gets older. Rusty is almost 4 months old right now, and I really want to go for long walks in the future (when he is older) |

New Capitol Lithograph This lithograph was copyrighted by Charles N. McLaughlin with the permission of Capitol Architect Elijah E. Myers and issued by W. J. Morgan and Company Lithographers of Cleveland in 1885. Original information available proclaimed that the building was to be a fire-proof structure, classic in design. Its form approximates a Greek cross, with projecting center and flanks. The rotunda and dome rise at the intersection of the main corridors. Besides the basement and dome elevation, it is three full stories in height. By 1888, the Texas Capitol housed the entire Executive, Judicial and Legislative departments of State government. Note the facade of the building is very ornate; the as-built version is much simpler to accommodate the change in building material from limestone to Sunset Red granite.

theBalm Put a Lid On it Eyeshadow Primer
theBalm Put a Lid On it Eyeshadow Primer ($18.00 for 0.40 oz.) is a translucent eyeshadow primer that has a medium-thick, spreadable consistency that applies evenly and smoothly. It's supposed to help amplify your favorite eyeshadows as well as improve their staying power. It comes in a squeeze-tube with a needle nose applicator, so you can easily get just what you need out. The consistency was a bit thicker than I anticipated (thicker than Too Faced Shadow Insurance or Urban Decay Primer Potion), but it smooths out well so that it feels weightless once blended and spread over the lid. It feels a bit like a silicone-based face primer but not as heavy on the silicones. It takes a few seconds to dry down and "set," and once set, it feels like almost nothing on the lid. One thing I loved was that this product didn't separate as some tube-based primers can, so I didn't have to worry about what I'd get upon first squeeze.
I nave normal-to-dry lids, but my eyelids are by no means impervious to products creasing or fading on me. Some products last all day without a primer, others start to crease or fade between six and eight hours into wear. As much as possible, I like to test eye products both with and without primer to get a better idea of how it wears overall, so I've been using this on and off for the past month. It's easy to blend powder eyeshadows on top of it, and they don't "stick" so you can soften and fade or blend with the shadow next to it. It also doesn't mute my eyeshadow. For a weaker eyeshadow, it definitely helps it look more intense and apply more evenly. It seemed to prolong eyeshadows that would crease on me for an added two to three hours (so twelve to fourteen hours of wear, total). For cream eyeshadows, it only added an extra hour or two of wear (ten to twelve hours of wear, total).
The Glossover
Put a Lid On it
It's one of my new favorite primers--the only thing is I wish it performed as well for cream products as it did for powder, but it's pretty good all-around, and the texture really helps to smooth out the texture of the lid. | |

Judge rejects Apple's patent award demands
SAN FRANCISCO — A federal judge rejected Apple Inc.'s demand to increase the $1.05 billion in damages a jury ordered Samsung Electronics Inc. to pay its fiercest rival in the smartphone market.
Late Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh also rejected demands from both companies to conduct another trial on different issues over claims that the South Korean company unfairly used technology controlled by Apple to build its iPads and iPhones to market knockoff products. She also upheld the validity of the Apple patents at the center of the dispute.
A jury in August found that Samsung "infringed" six Apple patents to create and market 26 models of smartphones and computer tablets and ordered the $1.05 billion award. The jury found several other older Samsung products didn't infringe any Apple patents.
Earlier, the judge refused to block sales of the infringing products in the United States after she said Apple failed to show consumer demand for the Samsung devices was driven by the purloined technology, including the "pinch-to-zoom" function. Apple is appealing that decision.
Samsung contends that only three of the 26 older-generation products are still offered for sale in the United Sates.
Apple has filed a new lawsuit contending that Samsung's current products are also using Apple technology. Koh scheduled trial for that matter in 2014.
In a series of four orders Tuesday night, the judge painstakingly considered each side's myriad claims that the nine-member jury wrongly considered evidence and misread complex patent law. With a few minor exceptions, the judge concluded that the jurors' got it right as far as the law goes.
"Accordingly, the trial was fairly conducted, with uniform time limits and rules of evidence applied to both sides," the judge said. "A new trial would be contrary to the interests of justice."
The judge is still considering Samsung's demands to reduce the $1.05 billion award. The jurors had filled out a verdict form listing the damages Samsung owed Apple for each of the 26 products it found to have used infringing technology. Samsung contends that many of the line-item calculations were done incorrectly and that it was due a big reduction in the award.
Apple spokeswoman Kristin Huguet declined to comment. A Samsung spokesperson didn't respond to emails late Tuesday.
At a hearing in December, the judge seemed inclined to rework at least a few of the jury's damages calculations, but gave no indication by what amount.
Apple and Samsung are the top two smartphone makers and are locked in a no-holds-barred, worldwide battle for supremacy of the $346 billion annual sales market, appearing in courtrooms around the globe accusing each other of stealing technology and trade infractions.
International Data Corp. on Friday released a report showing smartphone shipments soared 36 percent worldwide in the fourth quarter as the sleek devices supplanted personal computers and other gadgets on holiday shopping lists.
Samsung Electronics Co. retained its bragging rights as the smartphone leader, shipping nearly 64 million devices for a 29 percent share of the global market. Apple ranked second with nearly 48 million iPhones shipped during the fourth quarter, translating into a market share of 22 percent.

Advanced Search is ideal for users seeking large amounts of information across multiple datasets, geographies, industry codes, or topics.
The goal of Advanced Search is to manually build search results by selecting filters and keywords from different search menus. The available search menus are a general keyword search, Topics, Geographies, Race and Ethnic Groups, Industry Codes, and EEO Occupation Codes. Economic data is searchable via all search menus except Race and Ethnic Groups and EEO Occupation Codes.
Keyword Search allows you to search for data using keywords. First, input a keyword or phrase into the text boxes. Then, using the radio buttons below, select if you want to search all topics or limit the search to Race and Ethnic Groups, Industry Codes, or Occupation Codes.
When a search is to broad, a clarification screen appears. The clarification screen pulls suggestions from one or more search menu. You can either select one of the suggestions or go directly into the applicable search menu.
By using the Topics menu, you can narrow your search results by year, business and industry characteristics, program or survey, and other topics of interest. We recommended that you start your search here.
To select a topic, first expand a topic header by clicking the sign next to each topic header. Once a topic header is expanded, the sign becomes a sign and the selectable topics appear as blue hyperlinks. You can select one or more topics. After each selection, the topic will move to the Your Selections box and the available topics will update to reflect the selections in the Your Selections box.
You can search for a geography using one of four avilable methods: list, name, address, and map. We recommend using the list method for most geography searches.
When using the list method, you select a geographic type, from the Select a geographic type menu. followed by one or more additional selections until a result appears. Once a result appears, select it and click ADD TO YOUR SELECTIONS to add it to the Your Selections box. You will now see the selected geography in Your Selections. If your desired geographic type is not visible in the Select a geographic type menu, change the select from button to all geographic types. Then repeat steps one through three.
In the Industry Codes menu, you can search for a North American Industrial Classification System or (NAICS), Product and Service, Materials and Fuels, or Commodity Code. You can search for a code using a text or filter search. After you select your first search term, the keyword or filter is moved to Your Industry Code Filters and the Industry Code Results update to reflect your search term. At this point you can either add more keywords and filters or select your industry code. To add the industry code to your search, select the industry code and then click Add. The code is added to the Your Selections box.
The Search Results, reflect the keywords and filters in the Your Selections box. From the Search Results you can view or download up to ten tables at a time.

Within a 30-minute walk of downtown Wapakoneta, an Ohio professor says someone within that radius is involved in or has been affected by human trafficking. With an extensive highway system, a high number of truck stops, close proximity to Canada and a high poverty rate, Ohio is one of the most vulnerable states in the United States for human trafficking, University of Dayton political science professor Anthony Talbott said Sunday during an hour-long presentation on human trafficking at the St. Joseph Parish Life Center.
Several recent cases of viral meningitis in the area have gotten the attention of local health officials. "We are looking for commonalities but haven't found any," Auglaize County Nursing Supervisor Cindy Jones said of the several cases reported in Auglaize, Mercer and Van Wert counties. "It is unusual to have this many." She said many of the cases have been reported in young children and a majority have been in Mercer County.
The new kid in school typically has trouble getting their locker open or sometimes finding the right classroom. They often sit by themselves during lunch and talk little to others during the school day. Three years ago, Wapakoneta Middle School students took full ownership of a program to break down those barriers — the Ambassador's Club — which helps new students become acclimated with the school and intermingle with other students. "You get to show new students around the school," fifth-grader Gwen VanVorhees said, explaining they sit with them during lunch for a week to help.
Many students struggle to find help outside of the classroom for homework, tests and everyday studying. For Wapakoneta Middle School fifth-graders, they should look no further than their own school. Seventh-grade tutor Brooke Mullen, 13, said she chose to help fifth-graders because she wants to use her gifts to help others. She said school is easy for her, but she understands that many students do not learn as quickly. She said her favorite subject is math, which is the subject she enjoys tutoring the most. "I get to help kids that don't exactly understand the concepts," Brooke said.
Citing a mid-year change in the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) policy, Wapakoneta City Council Streets, Alleys and Sidewalks members voted to maintain the street width for a section of West Auglaize Street scheduled for reconstruction in 2015.
A 39-year-old Lima man died from injuries sustained in a one-vehicle crash Thursday afternoon on Interstate 75 near the Bellefontaine Street overpass in Wapakoneta. John R. Austin was driving a dump truck south on I-75, approaching the Bellefontaine Street overpass at 1 p.m. when witnesses said his dump bed started to rise. The dump bed struck the overpass causing the truck to overturn and trap Austin in the cab.
The construction of a county dog shelter is approximately a week ahead of schedule at this time, the Auglaize County dog warden says. In a meeting with Auglaize County commissioners this week, Dog Warden Russ Bailey said the roof is being started and is expected to take more than a week to complete. A natural gas line also was recently ran to the building located off Dearbaugh Avenue along U.S. 33 behind the Auglaize County Sheriff's Office and to the back of the camping area at the Auglaize County Fairgrounds.
A trooper at the Wapakoneta Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol has confirmed there has been a fatality in the crash along southbound Interstate 75.
Due to the crash, traffic had to be routed through Wapakoneta using Ohio 67, County Road 25A, Wood Street and Bellefontaine Street. The crash caused delays in school buses getting children home after school today.
Auglaize County Emergency Management Agency Director Troy Anderson responded to the scene because of a diesel fuel spill.
A high-speed chase — that went through five Ohio counties before the vehicle was stopped — began in Auglaize County on Tuesday.
Three of the four occupants of the vehicle leading troopers with the Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) on the multi-county pursuit on Interstate 75 are now in custody.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The government reopened its doors today after a battle-weary Congress approved a bipartisan measure to end a 16-day partial shutdown and avert the possibility of an economy-jarring default on U.S. obligations.
