ENSINGERv.URBAN ET AL., APPELLANTS
Appeal from order of Court of Common Pleas of Montgomery County, No. 68-12354, in case of Fred Ensinger, Sr. v. Walter Urban and Doris Fournier, Co-Partners Trading as General Truck Service.
Irwin S. Lasky, for appellants.
Gerald P. Sigal, with him Peter J. Cianci, Yaffe & Blumberg, and Wisler, Pearlstine, Talone, Craig & Garrity, for appellee.
Watkins, P. J., Jacobs, Hoffman, Cercone, Price, Van der Voort, and Spaeth, JJ. Opinion by Hoffman, J.
[ 231 Pa. Super. Page 501]
This case presents issues concerning the scope of coverage of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended (29 U.S.C. § 201, et seq.), and the computation of damages that may be awarded to an employee for his employer's failure to pay the overtime compensation required by the Act.*fn1
The appellants, co-partners trading as General Truck Service, originally hired the appellee as a truck mechanic in 1957. From 1957 until 1963, the appellee was employed at the partnership's principal place of business in Philadelphia. In 1963, the appellee was transferred to a branch establishment located in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. The partnership had a contract with the Bell Telephone Company to maintain Bell's fleet of trucks and automobiles upon which the appellee performed minor repairs. The Bell motor vehicle supervisor instructed the appellee before any repairs were undertaken. The appellee regularly serviced a fleet of approximately thirty-seven trucks, two of which made daily trips to Delaware.
While he was employed at the Philadelphia location, the appellee was paid on an hourly basis. When the appellee was transferred to King of Prussia, his compensation was changed to $150 per week. There is conflicting testimony in the record as to the number of hours per week the appellee would be required to work, but the lower court judge found as a fact that "The remuneration received by the [appellee] was for a forty
[ 231 Pa. Super. Page 502]
(40) hour week." The appellee claims that he worked 56 hours each week from September 9, 1966, through May 10, 1967, and is entitled to overtime compensation for this period of employment.
The initial question before this Court is whether the appellee is within the purview of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Under the Act, an employer is required to compensate his employees for all hours worked in excess of forty hours in a given week, "at a rate not less than one and one-half times the regular rate at which he is employed" if the employee "is engaged in commerce or in the production of goods for commerce, . . ." 29 U.S.C. § 207(a) (1). Section 203(j) provides that "an employee shall be deemed to have been engaged in the production of goods if such employee was employed in producing, manufacturing, mining, handling, transporting, or in any other manner working on such goods, or in any closely related process or occupation directly essential to the production thereof, in any State." Section 203(i) defines "goods" as "goods . . . or articles or subjects of commerce of any character, . . ."
From the above definitions, it is apparent that § 207(a) does not require the employee to be directly engaged in commerce. It does not require him to be employed in the production of an article which itself becomes the subject of commerce. It is enough that he is employed in an occupation which is "closely related" or "directly essential" to the production of "articles or subjects of commerce of any character." See Roland Electrical Co. v. Walling, 326 U.S. 657 (1945). Clearly, the Bell Telephone Company is a corporation engaged in interstate commerce within the meaning of the Act. The issue, then, is whether the maintenance functions performed by the appellee on Bell Telephone trucks are sufficiently related to the interstate commerce generated by the operations of the Bell Telephone Company so
[ 231 Pa. Super. Page 503]
that the appellee can be said to have been "engaged in commerce." Overstreet v. North Shore Corp., 318 U.S. 125 (1943). In deciding whether any given employee is within the ambit of the Act, the courts are faced with a "line-drawing" problem of considerable difficulty. There are, however, certain basic principles which are consistently applied. First, "engaged in commerce" is to be given a broad, liberal construction in order to effectuate the policies of the Act, which are essentially to provide for the general well-being of workers. Second, the applicability of the Act depends on the nature of the employee's work, and not on the character of the employer's business. See, Brennan v. Wilson Building, Inc., 478 F. 2d 1090 (5th Cir. 1973). Keeping these principles in mind, we hold that the appellee is entitled to the protection afforded by the Act.
The trucks serviced by the appellee consisted of seventeen supply trucks, thirteen installation trucks, and seven coin box trucks. These trucks perform functions necessary to enable Bell Telephone to operate as an instrumentality of commerce.*fn2 Because the appellee's connection with the trucks was direct and substantial, the appellee must be deemed to have engaged in commerce. While the contribution of the appellee to the facilitation of interstate commerce may not seem overwhelming, the cumulative effect of the many people similarly situated is great.
Courts have reached this result in cases presenting similar, though not identical, factual patterns. In Walling v. McCrady Construction Co., 156 F. 2d 932
[ 231 Pa. Super. Page 504]
(3d Cir. 1946), employees of a construction company regraded an underground conduit and built a new conduit for a telephone company. The court held that the employees were covered by the Act because they were performing work vital to the functioning of an instrumentality of commerce.*fn3 Employees who repair motor vehicles have also been held to be within the Act, because those vehicles have been or will be used in interstate commerce. Brennan v. Ventimiglia, 356 F. Supp. 281 (N.D. Ohio 1973); McComb v. Robertson, 101 F. Supp. 1018 (M.D. Tenn. 1952). Employees of car rental agencies who repair the leased cars have been held to be covered under the Act. Mitchell v. Pascal System, Inc., 226 F. 2d 391 (7th Cir. 1955); Hertz Drivur-self Stations, Inc. v. United States, 150 F. 2d 923 (8th Cir. 1945). Employees of a parking garage were afforded coverage by a District Court because the garage had contracts with commuters, hotels and businesses. The court held that "these contracts clearly facilitate the interstate transactions and are entwined with the continuous stream of interstate commerce." Brennan v. S&M Enterprises, 362 F. Supp. 595, 599 (D.D.C. 1973). Employees who guarded disabled vehicles on highways were held to be engaged in commerce. Snelling v. O.K. Service Garage, Inc., 311 F. Supp. 842 (E.D. Ky. 1970).
Appellants next contend that even if the appellee is engaged in commerce, he is exempt from the overtime payment provisions of § 207(a) (1) by virtue of § 213
[ 231 Pa. Super. Page 505]
(a) (1), which provides: "(a) The provisions of sections [6 and 7] shall not apply with respect to -- (1) any employee employed in a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional capacity, . . ." In applying the exemption provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act, the courts are required to give a narrow interpretation to the terms therein. Hodgson v. N. G. Kallas Co., 480 F. 2d 994 (6th Cir. 1973); Shultz v. Louisiana Trailer Sales, Inc., 428 F. 2d 61 (5th Cir. 1970), cert. denied 400 U.S. 902. The burden is on the employer to show that the plaintiff-employee is within the scope of the exemption. Walling v. General Industries Co., 330 U.S. 545 (1947); Reeves v. International Telephone & Telegraph Corp., 357 F. Supp. 295 (W.D. La. 1973). The trial judge found that the appellee was employed as an ordinary truck mechanic. The record is devoid of any indication that the appellee exercised discretionary power or made any managerial decisions. The lower court's finding is amply supported by the record.
Appellants' major contention concerns the manner in which the lower court computed the overtime it found to be due and owing the appellee. Section 207(a) (1) requires that an employee who works more than 40 hours in a given workweek be compensated for those overtime hours at a rate "not less than one and one-half times the regular rate at which he is employed." The obvious difficulty is in determining the appellee's "regular rate." The lower court calculated the appellee's "regular rate" as his weekly salary divided by forty hours. The appellants argue that the calculation should be the appellee's weekly salary divided by fifty-six hours, the claimed number of hours worked each week during the period under dispute.*fn4
[ 231 Pa. Super. Page 506]
The appellants contend that the appellee was employed on a fixed salary basis, totally independent of the number of hours he worked in any given week. Thus, the appellants argue that the $150 received each week by the appellee covered the total number of hours that the appellee worked in that week. Because the appellee worked fifty-six hours each week, the appellants argue that his regular rate of pay is $150 divided by 56. Appellants further contend that the appellee was paid his regular rate for all fifty-six hours, and thus is entitled only to one-half of his regular rate for the sixteen hours of overtime he worked each week. The logic of this argument has been affirmed on numerous occasions and would be persuasive were it not for the absence of a contract between the appellant and the appellee. In support of his proposition, the appellants cite Overnight Motor Transportation Co., Inc. v. Missel, 316 U.S. 572 (1942). In that landmark case, the Supreme Court held that the overtime provisions of the Act applied equally to salaried employees as well as to those employed on an hourly basis. The Court reasoned that "regular rate of pay" was the fixed salary divided
[ 231 Pa. Super. Page 507]
by the number of hours worked, and thus the more hours worked in any week, the less the regular rate of pay, and consequently the less the overtime rate of pay. That reasoning, however, is premised on employment for a fixed wage regardless of the number of hours worked. In other words, it is based on contract: "No problem is presented in assimilating the computation of overtime for employees under contract for a fixed weekly wage for regular contract hours which are the actual hours worked, to similar computations for employees on hourly rates." 316 U.S. at 580 (emphasis added).
The lower court found as a fact that the appellee was not hired under a fixed salary for an indeterminate number of hours per week, but rather was hired for a forty hour week. One of the appellants testified that there was no discussion with the appellee in regard to the number of hours per week that would be required. Therefore, the lower court's finding was justified. In order to satisfy § 207(a), an employer must "specify" a regular rate of pay for each employee from which that employee's overtime pay may be computed. Hodgson v. Elm Hill Meats of Kentucky, Inc., 327 F. Supp. 1009 (E.D. Ky. 1971). There is sufficient "specification" if there is an agreement that the employee will receive the same salary regardless of the number of hours actually worked. In this case, there is no specified regular rate of pay because there is no agreement to that effect. On the state of this record, therefore, it was not error for the trial court to find that the parties had agreed on forty hours as the standard workweek.*fn5
[ 231 Pa. Super. Page 508]
Appellants' final contention concerns the lower court's award of liquidated damages. Section 216(b) provides that "Any employer who violates the provisions of . . . [§ 7 of this Act] . . . shall be liable to the employee or employees affected in the amount of . . . their unpaid overtime compensation . . . and in an additional equal amount as liquidated damages." The mandatory effect of this provision is nullified, however, by Section 11 of the Portal-to-Portal Act of 1947, 29 U.S.C. § 260, which allows the court to reduce or eliminate the liquidated damages if, in the exercise of its discretion, the court finds that the employer's failure to pay the required overtime wages was in good faith, and that the employer had reasonable grounds to believe that his failure to pay overtime was not a violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act. The lower court held that the appellants had not satisfied their burden. We can find no abuse of discretion in the trial court's award of liquidated damages.
Order of the court below is affirmed.

Spring Mills edges Berkeley Springs
BERKELEY SPRINGS -Spring Mills Cardinals coach Joel Silver expressed displeasure in letting Berkeley Springs Indians guard Michael Kearney catch the ball in setting up his shot in the previous meeting against the Tribe.
That all changed Wednesday night as Silver decided to assign swingman Michael Henderson, who led the Cardinals with a game-high 23 points and a team-high nine rebounds, to guard Kearney.
"I had to strap No. 10 down and make sure he did not catch it," Henderson said of his defense against Kearney. "We did better than we did last time in a better man to man and shutting him down."
"Last game, we played passive defensively and tried to not let them penetrate, but they hit 3s on us," Silver said. "We decided as a coaching staff to try to deny stuff and put pressure on them offensively."
The game plan worked for the Cardinals as they held Kearney to 14 points in a 51-48 victory, despite the Indians' 8-1 run in the final minutes.
Spring Mills started out the opening quarter with a 9-0 run, capitalizing on a slow start and the struggles of Berkeley Springs in making a shot from the floor. Chris Kees scored on a layup to finally put the Indians on the board.
Berkeley Springs overcame the slow start from the opening quarter, outscoring Spring Mills 16-13 to cut the Cardinal advantage to six heading into halftime.
While Spring Mills continued to keep Kearney in check, Berkeley Springs guard Bailey Mills scored nine of his team-high 16 points in the second quarter to keep the Indians within two possessions of knotting the score up.
Spring Mills stretched its advantage to as large as 13 points in the second half as Hezekiah Dupree shouldered the load in the third quarter with six of his 14 points. Berkeley Springs began to mount a chance to come back in the final quarter .
"We did a great job for the first three and a half quarters," Silver said. "A lot of that does have to do with inexperience, but as the season goes on, we will get better at closing games."
Michael Kearney scored seven of his 14 points in the final quarter, including a 3-pointer to start the closing 8-1 run, but the Indians were not able to completely overcome their early shooting woes.

SHIRLINGTON LIMOUSINE AND TRANSPORTATION, INC., ET AL., PLAINTIFFS,v.THE SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE, ET AL., DEFENDANTS.
Now before the Court comes defendants The San Diego Union-Tribune and Copley Press, Inc.'s Motion to Dismiss the First Amended Complaint for Lack of Personal Jurisdiction or in the Alternative for Improper Venue [14]. Upon consideration of the motion, plaintiffs Shirlington Limousine and Transportation, Inc. and Christopher D. Baker's opposition [15], defendants' reply [16], the entire record herein, and the applicable law, the Court will GRANT defendants' motion.
Plaintiffs Shirlington Limousine and Transportation, Inc. ("Shirlington") and Christopher D. Baker filed suit in this Court on April 30, 2007 against defendants The San Diego Union-Tribune ("Tribune") and The Copley Press, Inc. ("Copley"), alleging a number of claims stemming from two articles published by the Tribune.
A. Publication of the Articles and the Aftermath
The Tribune published two articles which serve as the focal point of this action. Both articles were written by Mr. Dean Calbreath, and the research, writing, and publication took place entirely within San Diego. (See Calbreath Decl. ¶¶ 3, 5.) Mr. Calbreath received no assistance from the Copley News Service Bureau in Washington, D.C. in preparing these articles. (Id.) The first article was published on April 28, 2006, and the second was published the following day. (See Mot. Dismiss Ex. A & B.) The content of the articles was precisely the same; a printing error forced the Tribune to print the article a second time. (See id.) The articles highlighted a sordid tale of bribery involving legislators in Washington, D.C., including former congressman Duke Cunningham. (See id.) Central to the allegations at issue here, the articles cited sources who claimed that plaintiffs brought prostitutes to the hotel suite where the legislators would congregate and socialize. (See id.)
Plaintiffs claim these allegations of wrongdoing are false and were made with reckless disregard of the truth. (Compl. 3.) Plaintiffs assert that they became the focus of intense media scrutiny after the Tribune articles were circulated throughout various U.S. media outlets. (Id.) As a direct consequence of the articles' publication, plaintiffs allege, their reputations were indelibly damaged. (Id.) This reputational damage was exacerbated by Congress's launching of an investigation of Shirlington in response to the Tribune's allegations. (See Comp. 3-4.) Ultimately, plaintiffs' lease at the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport was terminated, and they suffered other business damages. (See id.) In seeking recompense for these alleged damages, plaintiffs assert libel and false light claims against defendants. (Compl. 3-6.)
B. Copley and the Tribune
Copley owns the Tribune (Dwyer Decl. ¶ 3), and the principal place of business of both entities is California (see Mot. Dismiss 2-3). Only one paid subscription of the Tribune is mailed anywhere within Washington, D.C. - to the Library of Congress. (Dwyer Decl. ¶ 3.) Copley does not own or publish any national newspapers or any newspapers within Washington, D.C. (Dwyer Decl. ¶ 2.)
Copley's physical presence in Washington extends only to a newsgathering bureau, which operates as a division of Copley. (Id.) The bureau's purpose is to gather newsworthy information on behalf of Copley and subsequently report it to other outlets. (See Winders Decl. ¶ 2.) The Washington bureau does not publish or distribute newspapers; its sole function is newsgathering. (See id.)
Copley does, however, operate a website for the Tribune, and this website is accessible by users in Washington. (See Jennewin Decl. ¶ 1.) The site has limited user interactivity, and users are neither charged a fee nor forced to register to access the site's content. (Id. ¶ 3.) The site is designed for use principally by San Diego residents - the content focuses on local news, and local weather conditions and webcams are posted. (Id. ¶ 4.) Moreover, the website's primary web servers are located in San Diego, and, to the best of Copley's knowledge, no third-party application servers are located in Washington. (Id. ¶ 5.)
A. Principles of Personal Jurisdiction Analysis
Exercising personal jurisdiction over a non-resident defendant requires that "service of process [] be authorized by statute and [] comport with the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment." Wiggins v. Equifax, Inc., 853 F. Supp. 500, 502 (D.D.C. 1994). In accord with longstanding Supreme Court precedent, "personal jurisdiction exists when the defendant has purposely established minimum contacts with the forum state and when the exercise of jurisdiction comports with the 'traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice.'" Id. (quoting Asahi Metal Indus. Co. v. Superior Court of California, 480 U.S. 102, 107 (1987)).
Purposeful availment thus stands as a touchstone of personal jurisdiction analysis, and the plaintiff "must allege some specific facts evidencing purposeful activity by [d]efendants in the District of Columbia by which they invoked the benefits and protections of its laws." Novak-Canzeri v. Saud, 864 F. Supp. 203, 205 (D.D.C. 1994). Plaintiffs may discharge this burden by "showing that all the requirements of the Long Arm statute have been met," and "[m]ere conclusory statements . . . will not suffice." Jones v. City of Buffalo, 901 F. Supp. 19, 21 (D.D.C. 1994). The imposition of such a burden on plaintiffs excepts personal jurisdiction analysis from the general rule that all allegations must be taken as true for purposes of ruling on a motion to dismiss. See United States v. Philip Morris, Inc., 116 F. Supp. 2d 116, 120 n.4 (D.D.C. 2000). Indeed, courts may consider outside evidence to make factual determinations in disposing of a motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction. See id.
B. D.C. Long-Arm Statute
A District of Columbia court may ground its exercise of jurisdiction in the contents of the D.C. Long-Arm Statute. See D.C. CODE § 13-423 (2008). Though plaintiffs concede that the Court's jurisdiction cannot be found pursuant to the Long-Arm Statute (see Reply 1), the Court will nevertheless demonstrate the propriety of such a conclusion.
The D.C. Long-Arm Statute provides in relevant part as follows:
a District of Columbia court may exercise personal jurisdiction over a person, who acts directly or by an agent, as to a claim for relief arising from the person's: (1) transacting any business in the District of Columbia; . . . (3) causing tortious injury in the District of Columbia by an act or omission in the District of Columbia; (4) causing tortious injury in the District of Columbia by an act or omission outside of the District of Columbia if he regularly does or solicits business, engages in any other persistent course of conduct, or derives substantial revenue from goods used or consumed, or services rendered, in the District of Columbia.
D.C. CODE § 13-423(a). Jurisdiction based solely on this provision is specific in nature: "only a claim for relief arising from acts enumerated in this section may be asserted against [defendant]." Id. 13-423(b).
Courts have long recognized a newsgathering exception to ordinary methods of personal jurisdiction analysis. See, e.g., Neely v. Phila. Inquirer, Co., 62 F.2d 873, 875 (D.C. Cir. 1932). Such an exception properly applies to agencies whose presence in Washington consists of "mere collection of news material for use in subsequent publication elsewhere." Id. The D.C. Circuit articulated over seventy-five years ago the need for a newsgathering exception:
[a]s the seat of national government, Washington is the source of much news of national importance, which makes it desirable in the public interest that many newspapers should maintain vigilant correspondents here. If the employment of a Washington correspondent, the announcement of his address, and the payment of his office rent, subjects a nonresident newspaper corporation to legal process in Washington for matter appearing in its paper at home, it would bring in nearly every important newspaper in the nation, and many foreign publishing corporations . . . .
The newsgathering exception has been expressly applied to Section 13-423 in subsequent cases. See, e.g., Moncrief v. Lexington Herald-Leader Co., 807 F.2d 217, 222 (D.C. Cir. 1986). The court in Moncrief reasoned that the exception "is intended to protect a newspaper whose only persistent course of conduct in the District is the maintenance of an office there for gathering news from being subject to the jurisdiction of the District's courts." Id. More recently, this Court cogently articulated the current state of the newsgathering exception: "this Circuit has consistently held that the business conduct of news gathering organizations within the District cannot be used to establish personal jurisdiction over an out-of-state news agency." Lohrenz v. Donnelly, 958 F. Supp. 17, 19 (D.D.C. 1997).
Recognition of the primacy of the newsgathering exception compels this Court's conclusion that it lacks authority under the Long-Arm Statute to exercise personal jurisdiction over defendants. Defendants' physical presence in Washington is limited to its D.C. newsgathering bureau. (See Dwyer Decl. ¶ 2.) The bureau engages in no functions aside from newsgathering. (See Winders Decl. ¶ 2.) Since defendants' "only persistent course of conduct in the District is the maintenance of an office there for gathering news," Moncrief, 807 F.2d at 222, the newsgathering exception squarely applies to this action, rendering inappropriate the Court's exercise of jurisdiction under the D.C. Long-Arm Statute.
C. General Jurisdiction
Though conceding that jurisdiction over defendants cannot be found under the D.C. Long-Arm Statute, plaintiffs contend that the Court may properly exercise general jurisdiction pursuant to Section 13-334 of the D.C. Code. (See Reply 1.) The Court finds this argument unpersuasive in view of defendants' lack of sufficient contacts with Washington.
Section 13-334 of the D.C. Code*fn1 provides an alternative basis for a court's jurisdiction. See Ross v. Prod. Dev. Corp., 736 F. Supp. 285, 289 (D.D.C. 1989). Two conditions must be met for a court to properly exercise jurisdiction pursuant to this statute: "[defendant] must be 'doing business' in the District, and . . . the exercise of jurisdiction must comport with due process." Id. at 290. Section 13-334 "confers jurisdiction over the defendant for all purposes . . . ." Id. Recognizing that "there are no hard and fast rules as to what constitutes 'doing business,'" id., courts have reasoned that exercise of jurisdiction is appropriate only where a non-resident defendant "has engaged in 'continuous and systematic general business contacts' in the forum," Atlantigas Corp. v. Nisource, Inc., 290 F. Supp. 2d 34, 50 (D.D.C. 2003).
Courts have offered guidance for assessing claims of general jurisdiction over news agency defendants. See, e.g., Riss v. Ass'n of W. Ry., 159 F. Supp. 288, 292 (D.D.C. 1958). The court in Riss held that "maintaining a correspondent in Washington merely to gather the news does not constitute 'doing business' in the District of Columbia." Id.; accord Margoles v. Johns, 333 F. Supp. 942, 946 (D.D.C. 1971), aff'd, 483 F.2d 1212 (D.C. Cir. 1973). Indeed, the rationale underlying the newsgathering exception - that allowing a D.C. court to exercise jurisdiction over any news agency maintaining some presence in the District would subject almost every newspaper in the country to D.C. jurisdiction and may dissuade some agencies from covering Washington events - applies with equal force to Section 13-334 as it does to the Long-Arm Statute. Therefore, logic dictates that the tenor of analysis under Section 13-334 will comport with that under the Long-Arm Statute.
Though maintaining fidelity to the underpinnings of the newsgathering exception, D.C. courts have grappled with the implications of the Internet age in assessing jurisdictional questions involving news agencies. See, e.g., Gorman v. Ameritrade Holding Corp., 293 F.3d 506, 512-14 (D.C. Cir. 2002). Navigating the boundaries of personal jurisdiction grows nuanced when most newspapers offer their content over the Internet, thereby allowing access to reporting in almost every part of the country. See, e.g., id.
Mere operation of an Internet site does not alone subject a defendant to jurisdiction in all fora in which content can be accessed, and plaintiffs must support jurisdictional arguments with more than vague assertions. See Atlantigas, 290 F. Supp. 2d at 51. The D.C. Circuit recently reasoned that maintaining commitment to the ideals of due process necessitates rejecting broad interpretations of jurisdiction in the Internet age:
"When stripped to its core, [plaintiff's] theory of jurisdiction rests on the claim that, because the defendants have acted to maximize usage of their websites in the District, mere accessibility of the defendants' websites establishes the necessary "minimum contacts" with this forum. This theory simply cannot hold water. Indeed, under this view, personal jurisdiction in Internet-related cases would almost always be found in any forum in the country. We do not believe that the advent of advanced technology, say, as with the Internet, should vitiate long-held and inviolate principles of federal court jurisdiction. The Due Process Clause exists, in part, to give a degree of predictability to the legal system that allows potential defendants to structure their primary conduct with some minimum assurance as to where that conduct will and will not render them liable to suit. In the context of the Internet, [plaintiff's] expansive theory of personal jurisdiction would shred these constitutional assurances out of practical existence."
GTE New Media Servs., Inc. v. BellSouth Corp., 199 F.3d 1343, 1350 (D.C. Cir. 2000) (citations and internal quotation marks omitted) (finding the court lacked personal jurisdiction where defendants' website allowed users merely to access information, and there was no indication in record that business was transacted through the site). Put more bluntly, "[a] website accessible by computers in the District of Columbia, or by District of Columbia residents, is not purposeful availment; rather, it is merely an unavoidable side-effect of modern internet technology." Doe v. Israel, 400 F. Supp. 2d 86, 121 (D.D.C. 2005); see also FC Inv. Group LC v. IFX Mkts., Ltd., 479 F. Supp. 2d 30, 37 (D.D.C. 2007) (finding no personal jurisdiction over defendant where defendant operated website "in the middle ground between 'merely informational' and 'fully active'"). Where courts have asserted jurisdiction over defendants based on a website, they have generally emphasized the ability to transact business over the site. See, e.g., Gorman, 293 F.3d at 512-14.
In addition to looking at the transacting of business over a website, courts have also focused on the apparent targets of a defendant's use of the site in evaluating the propriety of exercising personal jurisdiction. See, e.g., Young v. New Haven Advocate, 315 F.3d 256, 263 (4th Cir. 2002). For assertion of jurisdiction to be appropriate, "[t]he newspapers must, through the Internet postings, manifest an intent to target and focus on [readers in the forum state]." Id. Courts have found no jurisdiction where a defendant's website contained only local advertisements and weather reports. See id.; Jackson v. Cal. Newspapers P'ship, 406 F. Supp. 2d 893, 898 (N.D. Ill. 2005).
In view of the foregoing precedent, it is clear to the Court that it may not properly exercise jurisdiction over defendants in this action. Plaintiffs rely primarily on conclusory statements that defendants "do business" in Washington and are thus subject to the District's jurisdiction. (See Opp. 5-7.) Specifically, plaintiffs cite the presence of Copley's Washington news bureau, in addition to the Tribune's website, as evidence of "continuous and systematic general business contacts" in the District. (See id.) These assertions are groundless.
To begin with, the maintenance of a newsgathering facility in Washington does not constitute "doing business" under Section 13-334 and is therefore not sufficient to subject a defendant to jurisdiction in the District. See Riss, 159 F. Supp at 292. Since Copley's D.C. bureau is merely a newsgathering arm, see discussion supra Part II.B, jurisdiction under Section 13-334 cannot be based on its presence in the District.
Plaintiffs alternatively argue that defendants' website, accessible to users in Washington, constitutes a "continuous and systematic general business contact" such that exercise of jurisdiction here is appropriate. (See Opp. 5-7.) This contention ignores reality. The Tribune website is clearly targeted toward San Diego residents, as it offers only local weather information and local webcams. (See Jennewin Decl. ¶ 4.) Such focused content contributes to the conclusion that exercise of jurisdiction is inappropriate. See Young, 315 F.3d at 263; Jackson, 406 F. Supp. 2d at 898. Moreover, the Tribune's website is not used to facilitate the completion of complex business transactions (see Jennewin Decl.), and this corporate element is integral in establishing the propriety of a court's personal jurisdiction, see Gorman, 293 F.3d at 512-14. In sum, the record shows virtually no attempts by defendants to attract to the Tribune's website visitors from anywhere but San Diego. As such, resting an assertion of personal jurisdiction on the website's interactivity is patently misguided.*fn2
For the foregoing reasons, the Court concludes that defendant's Motion to Dismiss the First Amended Complaint for Lack of Personal Jurisdiction or in the Alternative for Improper Venue will be GRANTED.

I love that Cailyn packages their products thoughtfully with the brush in the top. You just open and begin to use this clean product that will provide definition and keep hairs in check. I prefer to use this for evening or fully finished face. It provides more color than most pencils and the application can be done in an almost painterly fashion. Definitely a product to have in your bag.4
I was looking for a new option for my brows, so I bought this. I like the idea of having the gel and brush all in one compact kit. The bush is awful - the bristles go everywhere, and the brush is too thick. The wax is waaaay too hard which makes it very hard to apply. I'm incredibly disappointed in this purchase.1
I was disappointed in the lack of color options Birchbox has of this product. I risked it and opted for the darker color than the one I had from another store that was almost out. Unfortunately, this color is just too dark for my skintone. It looks like I have dark, colored in eyebrows. I would return if it wasn't such a pain. The brush is already damaged with hairs coming out of the brush.1

Re: what do you want or like in a game website ?
Re: what do you want or like in a game website ?
As a Journalist and CEO of a media organization that specializes in websites related to pop-culture, and from the standpoint of someone who actually works in the video game industry, I'd tell you the biggest things we find that people want to see in a website are:
1.Current content- the site has to be kept up and updated on a regular basis. It is a fact that users will leave a webpage in less than 15 seconds if they enter the site and do not see something they like within those few seconds. Especially newcomers. Old content will disinterest those who visit your site, as to where daily new content drives them to return.
2.Factual information- quote your sources and link to things as much as you can. Users need to find value in your posts or whichever way you display your information.
3. A reason to return- Find reasons for them to return such as, giveaways, rare content, user privileges, or simple things like the ease of making comments, ability to interact, some like polls, unique information, and accessibility that makes your site a needed resource.
4.Images- since the dawn of time, imagery has been used to pull folks closer to what we want them to become closer to. Post good quality images, set a standard for your site and make sure images are good definition, crisp, and easily viewable. Post new screen shots as often as possible, some people are often happy just looking at a post full of photos.
5. Video- since its a game site, its a perfect idea to share the latest trailers, and anything related to games and content you're wanting to share. Like photos, video should be good quality (if it can be helped) and folks will sometimes be happy watching game videos if that's all you can share in one day.
6.Keep the design modern with either the feel of a game or games that you're talking about, or a sleek magazine-style design. (Look up magazine style designs if you're not a developer, you'll get an idea what they look like. They're good for media sites like this.) All gamers are centered around loving tech. Period. So old fashioned web layouts or washed out dry colors will bore some folks.
7.Have a personality. I cannot stress this enough. Find unique querks about your inner-gamer and let it loose in your work. Look for things you can make humorous and continue to entertain your audience. If you post about games, give good information about your subject, and then add in your own perspective- that brings you character and shows the reader your personality. Be exciting, and write like you know what you're talking about.
8.This one's pretty obvious but not everyone gets it- Keep up with the latest news and information. If you don't, how will you be able to provide good information to those visiting your site? And like I said previously, show that you know what you're talking about.
People want to believe in what they're learning about or reading. Have confidence.
9.Keep an eye out for anything new you can do or add to your site. Don't clutter it, but always be open to new ideas.
10.For a "gaming" site specifically I'd say that the top things people like to read about are: Reviews, Top Ten lists, Latest info about games coming out, DLC news, Industry buzz, humorous things, trailers, gaming memorabilia, your personal thoughts on things here and there, annnnd...creative posts you can make by using your own creativity. Its your site, and your rules.
11.Keep up with the community. Never be afraid to ask what people think of your site. The question you asked here is already a step forward into the right direction. Be aware of what people want to see.
Hope some of these things help. I do panels at conventions about these sorts of things. I could go on longer, but I really need to head to bed. Contact me further if you'd like any more advice, I'd be happy to help.
Re: what do you want or like in a game website ?
Thanks alot for your informative post.
It reinforces my thoughts and gives me alot of confidence that I am heading in the right direciton.
Sometimes I am thinking with all the other sites out there, why should I bother.... but I also know how to do more than only post gaming videos. You reminded me that I have alot to offer and such. thanks.
No, i'm not looking to make another "gaming" website like IGN. They have teams of people and are quite large. I'm just one person. I'm focusing on one game at a time and making a website for each game. Not every game, but games that I have an interest in and that the overall community does as well.

- "They're delicious."
- ―Omnino on savrips
The Mantellian Savrips were a species of large, sentient natives to Ord Mantell. They had hunched-over statures, leathery skin, snake-like heads, and arms long enough to drag on the ground.
- "Flashy can bulls-eye a savrip between the eyes five times before the critter even knows it's dead."
- ―Corso Riggs, on his blaster, "Flashy"
Often believed to be simply a very cunning non-sentient animal by many other species, the Savrips were actually a sentient, but technologically very primitive, species. They had their own informal language, and some could even learn to speak accented Basic. The Warlord Taxer Sundown used the Mantellians' prejudice against the Savrips to blame the murders his organization carried out on them.
Savrips were naturally inclined to combat, and this, coupled with their unusual language, only fostered the notion that these beings were unintelligent. Because of this, many were hunted or exported, and, by the time of the Galactic Empire, few Savrips remained on Ord Mantell.
Savrip meat was also enjoyed by some, such as Baroness Omnino, who, with her son and the aforementioned impostor Jedi Sundown, planned to breed them for food on Ord Mantell in the years up to 37 BBY. However, this plan failed due to the intervention of Qui-Gon Jinn.
The Mantellian Savrip was also a dejarik holomonster.
The Savrip known as Kalhar was known to live on Tatooine. One Mantellian Savrip joined Darth Krayt's new Sith Order.
Behind the scenesEdit
The species as seen on the dejarik table in A New Hope was originally named "Kalhar monster".[2]

Note: Sample below may appear distorted but all corresponding word document files contain proper formattingExcerpt from Term Paper:
Of course, Spears is still very young, and may face numerous future changes. However, at this time, she appears to have found some stability.
While Spears spent much of her early life in the public spotlight, it is actually difficult to assess her early cognitive development. This should come as no surprise when one looks at various theories of cognitive development. For example, Piaget discusses cognitive development, but all of his significant stages occur prior to the time that Spears became a public figure, and, therefore, prior to the time that biographers have reliable information about her development. However, Piaget's conclusions "that cognitive development is the product of complex interactions between the maturation of the nervous system and that of language, and that this maturation depends on children's social and physical interactions with the world around them" allow the observer to draw conclusions about Spears' early life without having direct knowledge of that life (The Brain from Top to Bottom, Unk.).
The sensory motor period occurs from 0 to 24 months and is characterized by learning reflexive behaviors and how the infant interacts with the world (Child Development Institute, 2011). There is nothing to suggest that Spears did not complete that stage. The preoperational period occurs between 2 and 7 years of age, and is marked by increased verbalism and a transition from egocentric to social, as well as developments in logic and reality testing (Child Development Institute, 2011). Though much of Spears' young adult behavior appeared both illogical and hallmarked by a breakdown in her reality testing, that behavior occurred after her displaying consistently logical behavior, and seems more likely related to a chemical imbalance, perhaps related to postpartum depression, than to a failure to complete earlier steps in cognitive development. In fact, it is important to realize that Piaget's theory of development is really based on cognition rather than emotion. However, part of this stage involves learning social rules like reciprocity "or taking the other person's point-of-view into consideration" (Borensen, 2008). Whether or not Spears was able to master this stage is a subject of some debate.
However, by the time the world was introduced to a young Spears, she was already apparently engaging in concrete operations. Her successful work on television provided evidence of "organized, logical thought" (Child Development Institute, 2011). Moreover, the clear calculations in her early career were characteristic of formal operations. She was able to predict outcomes from her behavior (Child Development Institute, 2011). There is no doubt that much of Spears' early adult success was linked to her careful transition from child to woman in her public persona, and her carefully marketed sexuality was an important part of that image. "Britney Spears was consumed by children when she was still a child….Then the consuming changed. On April 15, 1999, Britney appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone for the first time. Her body became text, her eyes invited the gaze and her stomach made readers of all types look twice" (Smit, 2011, p.20). This was a critical time in Spears' career, because it was at that time that she began to experience negative public reaction to her emerging sexuality and adult personality. For a pop star like Spears, it is important to realize that her changing personality not only reflected differences in her own personality, but also contributed to changes in her fan base as well. For example, young girls primarily identify with pop culture icons like Spears, so that parental concerns about the influence of pop stars on their children, while seemingly misplaced, may have some real merit (Goodman, Unk.). The increase in sexuality, while it may have been significant to Spears' career and her personal development, almost certainly created some negative repercussion among her fanbase.
Of course, how much of that marketed sexuality was cognitive and how much represented actual physical changes in Spears is something that might never be understood by anyone other than Spears, herself. Spears certainly seemed intent on hiding some of her true intentions when she first began the transition, which was part of her public appeal. "The harder the consumer looked, the more sly she became, hiding a nipple, hiding behind the decency laws of television and the press. Her pregnant body, naked almost. A cultural hide and go seek. Then the infamous photo came, her in the backseat with Paris. When we saw her sex directly, it was over" (Smit, 2011, p.20).
Social Development Theory
In contrast to Piaget, whom placed great emphasis on cognitive development, Lev Vygotsky placed tremendous emphasis on social interaction being the key to development. There are three major themes in Vygotsky's social development theory. The first is that social interaction plays a fundamental role in the process of cognitive development and that social learning precedes development (Learning Theories, 2011, Social). The second is the idea of the more knowledgeable other (MKO), which refers to anyone with a better understanding or higher ability level than the learner (Learning Theories, 2011, Social). The third theme is that of the zone of proximal development (ZPD), which is the distance between a student's ability to perform a task under peer or adult guidance and the peer's ability to independently perform the task (Learning Theories, 2011, Social). Vygotsky focused on the connections between people and their sociocultural context (Learning Theories, 2011, Social). Humans use social tools, like speech and writing, to mediate their social environments (Learning Theories, 2011, Social). Children use these tools as social functions, but the internalization of these tools lead to higher thinking skills (Learning Theories, 2011, Social).
One of the critical components of Vygotsky's theory is that play has a role in development. Looking specifically at Spears' life, the role of play seems interesting. Her early imaginative play showed her engaged in various forms of competition. She repeatedly pretended to be a famous pop star, most notably Madonna. While many children might engage in a similar type of play, this play does seem to have been successful in assisting in the development of Spears as a pop star. She was renowned for being very professional and a perfectionist in her work life. Was this impacted by her early imaginative play as a pop star? This leads one to wonder how play impacts development. Vygotsky pondered whether play was the leading developmental activity for young children or simply the predominant form. Examining how other types of early-stage development may have helped contribute to Spears' development. In fact, what is interesting is that Vygotsky posits that the history of attention in a child, which begins from the birth of the child, is the history of the organization of the child's behavior (Vygotsky, 1979). Therefore, examining a child's play helps explain the person's development.
What is interesting is that creative activity does not always involve creating something tangible. While some of what Spears developed through creativity and play when she was a child was observable by outsiders. It is important to understand that creation includes inner world construction as well as the creation of tangible things (Vygotsky, 1990). Spears' public revelations have frequently mentioned that, as a child, she envisioned herself as the type of mega-pop star that she eventually became. (A&E Television, 2011). Therefore, this imaginative behavior was very constructive. Moreover, it is important to realize that this creative visualization is not limited to Spears' past. She imagines and constructs the tone of her concerts, bringing them to life for her fans. She has imagined and constructed a comeback, which has been successful. Therefore, the imaginative component of play has been something that she has been able to incorporate into her adult life.
It is difficult to discuss Spears' physical development without focusing on her sexuality. Part of this is due to the fact that most of Spears' other physical development was done prior to her entering the spotlight. She had certainly mastered motor control and coordination before emerging into the public spotlight. However, she emerged into the public as a young girl and then transitioned into a woman in the public spotlight. Not only did her body physically change, but Spears also attempted to highlight the differences between her young girl body and her emerging womanly body. "One way Britney tried to emphasize the change was through her dress, which became more revealing. One of her now famous routines during this period had her take off a more modest costume to reveal a more risque one" (Kail & Cavanaugh, 2007, p.383). In fact, some of her other behavior may have been linked to attempting to prove the differences between her adolescent and adult bodies. For example, "her two marriages, first to Jason Allen Alexander for 2 days, in 2004 and second to Kevin Federline, and her subsequent pregnancy may be indicators of her transition from adolescent pop stars to adult woman" (Kail & Cavanaugh, 2007, p.383).

Matt is seemed more reliably knowledgable about DWIs than the 3 other attorneys I interviewed. He was extremely compassionate as I was very concerned about losing my license and the possibility of losing my job because of it. He responded within minutes every time I reached out. I was panicked. He got me the best possible outcome after thoughtful laying out all the possible outcomes for my case. He counseled me on the importance of following the law so we wouldn't ever have to meet under these conditions again. I didn't lose my license. I highly recommend Matt for all legal needs.

Matt has not only represented me, but he continues to guide me if I'm ever facing any legal trouble. He is very consistent, professional, and timely.

Hello ladies,
First off, I want to thank you all for your support last week with the worrying I was going thru. These boards have been invaluable to me over the years of TTC and being pg with my babies.
So, about my appointment. I went in and got my Beta done...then went up for my registration appointment. As much as I complain about the process of military medicine at the Naval Hospital I have to say that the OBGYN and the L&D are probably some of the best clinics there. The intake nurse was super nice and went over all of the standard paperwork with me. We did this a few years ago, so she was able to give me the "cliff notes" version of all the dos/donts.
Then she told me that my Beta came back - at.....28,000!!! :eek: I was pleasently surprised and a bit shocked at what seemed like a big number to me. After the registration she talked to the doctor who agreed to run a quick u/s on me just to check things out. We saw a very tiny bean - measuring about 6 weeks or so and a little flutter of a heartbeat. But she kept moving that darn wand around and squinting at the screen. Then she tells me that she wants to see me back in a week for another u/s because she is not sure if there is possibly another bean right next to the one with the heartbeat! I saw it on the u/s screen too but didnt say anything b/c there was no hb...and I just assumed it was part of the baby or something. She said that it likely was NOT a twin pregnancy but wanted to make sure next week by giving me another u/s. She said it might be the yoke sack but that my beta was pretty high for being so early.
So I now have to hold my breath until next thursday morning. Unlike my last twin pregnancy, which was the result of fertility treatment, if this is indeed a twin, it would be an identical twin. I really doubt that is the case and in fact I am REALLY nervous b/c I dont know if I could handle twins...but it is what it is and I know God has a plan. I am holding onto the fact that the doc does NOT think it is a twin...but is just being cautious with the facts that she has at hand.
So, yeah....that was my appointment. Crazyness!!!

Old City Record Release
Black Owls, R. Ring, umin, Man Kitten!
The Southgate House Revival-Sanctuary
111 East 6th Street
Newport, KY, 41071
Doors 8:30 PM / Show 9:30 PM
This event is all ages
Watch & Listen
Starting out as a solo electronic project of long-time Cincinnati music alum Sammy McKee (view-finder, Charlston Entry, Bitter Airplane, and Kaptain), Old City has quickly grown into a dynamic, live trio in the sonic vein of Poster Children, Dinosaur Jr. and Sonic Youth. You will also hear hints of Wussy, Guided by Voices, Polvo and even Lou Reed in Sammy's melodic delivery. The band currently consists of McKee on guitar and vocals AND Dave Cupp (Man Halen, Caterpillar Tracks) on drums. Robyn Roth (Knife the Symphony, Theraphosa) AND Gabriel Molnar (Sometimes, Little Lights, 1000 Arms) have played a key role in the band's transition from solo act to solid group and informed many of the moods and melodies with their unique approach to the bass guitar.
Old City has released three EPs and a live album as a band (download from bandcamp) and have recorded their first full-length LP to be released on random-colored vinyl on August 23, 2014.
"The thing that Black Owls does infinitely well is mash their British Invasion/Punk influences into a thick paste and apply it in broad trowel strokes to their distinctly Midwestern presentation, crafting a sound that is both maddeningly familiar and strikingly original. Dig: A parallel-earth Ian Hunter is born in Detroit and forms a garage-band Mott the Hoople after seeing Mitch Ryder and Iggy Pop, and still manages to obsess over Dylan and Bowie."
R. Ring is Kelley Deal and Mike Montgomery. It is voices, guitars and keys. It is sparse, chaotic, abrasive and lulling, often within the same song. It is new. It is, at the very least, a stark departure from the music they make in their other bands (Kelley with The Breeders and Mike with Ampline.)
They are currently putting finishing touches on recordings for a 7" single due out on Misra Records.
Kelley lives in Dayton, Ohio. Mike lives in Dayton, Kentucky.
