Tom Fuentes, Longtime Head of Orange County GOP/Protector of Pedophile Priests, Passes Away from Cancer
Just got word that Tom Fuentes--a titan of local politics for forging the Orange County Republican Party into the freaks that they are today, and a gnat of a man for his role in the Catholic Diocese of Orange sex-abuse scandals--passed away last night after a long battle with cancer. He was 63.
The best that can be said about Fuentes is that he was colorful--if, by colorful, you mean you enjoyed a man who helped put poll guards outside Latino-heavy precincts during a 1988 election that cost Fuentes, Curt Pringle and others $400,000 in a civil judgement, or someone who once opined, "I can tell you the registration of the people in the house by observing the neatness of the lawn, what cars are in the driveway...and whether there is a leaky oil can in the driveway."
The worst that can be said about him is the truth: that he helped to protect pedophile priests.

Fuentes served as communications director for the Orange diocese from 1977 to 1989, a time that just happened to coincide with multiple pedophile priests roaming the county's pews and raping children left and right. Did he alert the authorities or press when his superiors whisked away Eleuterio Ramos to Tijuana and Franklin Buckman to an Indian reservation after raping one boy too many? Nope. Did Fuentes alert the authorities or press when he was assigned pedo-priest Jerome Henson to work under him? Nope. Did Fuentes ever criticize the bishops who employed him, the hierarchy that helped to support him, for actively thwarting law enforcement? HA!
I'm sure Moxley and Coker will have more to say on Monday about Fuentes' passing given they covered him for a longer period of time than yours truly. But in the midst of any hosannas thrown Fuentes' way by others, remember: he helped to protect pedophile priests, and never owed up to it. The most he could ever say on the subject was to his ultimate apologist, Orange County Register columnist Frank Mickadeit: "I believe what was going on on the secular campuses in the 1970s led to the liberal influences in the seminaries of that era, and that set the tone for crisis in the Church in the 1990s. ... If I allow myself, I can become physically ill thinking about it.''
Nice: blame the liberals, even though it was his conservative-as-fuck bosses who covered up the rapes of innocents, and most of the rapes in the Orange diocese happened during his time. Hey, Tom: hope you get a spot in Hell next to your former boss, Bishop Norman McFarland, as the two of you pedo-priest protecting pendejos deserve each other. Heckuva job, Brownie!

Mighty Popo
Gakondo (Borealis Records BCD210, 2011)
Rwandan guitarist and vocalist Popo Murigande (better known as Mighty Popo) is part of a thriving African blues scene in Canada. His new album, titled Gakondo, maintains the blues flame alive while at the same time it is an acoustic music return to Popo's Rwandan roots. These roots include Intwatwa songs of the Batwa, the rhythms of the Bahutu and Batutsi pastoral melodies. Gakondo honors ancient songs and poems that express the story of the Rwandan civilization.
Popo spent many months investigating the origins and the combination of these Rwandan sounds, working with traditional musicians and learning about the rich poetry of the Royal Court or "Ibwami." Popo also researched instruments like the inanga, with its shallow bowl carved out of wood and a single gut string woven back and forth across it, creating nine or more strings.
On the title track "Gakondo," Popo traces his family's ties to the Abiru, the high priests of ancient Rwanda, and keepers of the dynastic codes.
Other pieces, such as "Kamananga," "Impunga," "Impangaza," "Uw'ibuhoro" and "Nibarize," mimic inanga melodies on his guitar. On "Nibarize" Popo sings in the ancient, now defunct Rwandan whispering style.
Traditional songs are also part of Gakondo. Popo brings back the songs of praise for the achievements of kings along as well as themes of love and loss.
Mighty Popo wrote the lyrics exclusively in Kinyarwanda, Rwanda's only indigenous language. The line-up on the album includes Popo Murigande on: guitar, lead vocal, percussion; Kofi Ackah on cajon, tama, congas, shakers, bodhran; Aron Niyitunga on guitar; Doug Cox on slide guitar; John Reischman on mandolin; Vince Halhide on slide guitar; Degaule Mbyayingango, Thierry Kijanya, and Jean-Paul Rufahusha on background vocals; Nyabyenda Dona on Ingoma drum, bells, background vocals and Kinyanrwanda rap.
The phenomenal Gakondo is a deep and insightful album that uncovers the rich traditions of the peoples of Rwanda.

Marissa is a brilliant designer who is born in Korea and raised in the United States. She is Banana Republic's creative advisor and have interned at Polo Ralph Lauren and worked at Donna Karan and J.

After several years of working, Marissa made her dreams come true and is now a designer of her own label. Her niche is creating pieces that are the perfect mixture of structure and flow. Of masculinity and femininity. Of neutrals and colors. Her collection embodies her persona as a young boyish girl growing up in Pennsylvania. Her clothes are elegant and edgy at the same time.

(Details shown apply to the default selection)
RS485 Ports: 1
1 in stock, immediate despatch
Ethernet to RS422/485 LAN Serial converters/server with Power Over Ethernet (POE). Featuring a simple setup procedure, ease of operation and automatic network recovery. Supplied with Programming examples and Virtual Serial Port software to seamlessly add serial ports to your Network. The ENET485-POE has a single serial port which can be RS422 or RS485.
The ENET-485-POE is a single port Serial to Ethernet converter that can network-enable your serial devices, such as weigh scales, PLCs, Data acquisition systems, point of sale, bar code scanners, access control systems, gas meters, printers - anything!Connect it to your network via a standard RJ45 connector, set-up its' IP address and TCP port number and you are away. With the supplied Virtual Com port software you can simply communicate with your serial device as if it were connected to the back of your PC. Programmers can communicate directly with the ENET-485-POE using standard TCP/IP protocols.
A pair of ENET-485-POE's can be set up in Client-Server mode where they will send RS422/485 data between each other without any PC intervention.
VirtualSerialPort Console
VirtualSerialPort Console is a COM port redirection software application for Windows PC platforms. Its function is to re-direct customer application data destined for a local serial (COM) port on a PC. Rather than going out the local port, the data is transmitted across the Ethernet network using TCP/IP. The eDIO attached to the network receives the data and presents it on its serial port. Conversely, data into the serial port of the eDIO-100 is sent back to the customer application via the network to the VirtualSerialPort Console software. The VirtualSerialPort Console software then presents the data to the customer application as if it were from a local serial COM port.
One of the main objectives of the VirtualSerialPort Console software is to eliminate the need for a customer to modify their application. If the application knows how to connect to a local serial port, it can by default talk to a remote serial port on a device server using the VirtualSerialPort Console software. No understanding of how to develop networking software is required.

The Greenest Small Family Cars on sale in the UK
The Green Car Guide to the most economical and lowest emission small family cars on sale in the UK today. We list what we consider to be the best most fuel-efficent small family vehicles in diesel, petrol, hybrid and electric car categories with links to our reviews and road-tests.
Diesel Small Family Cars
First place
Peugeot 308 1.6 BlueHDi 91.1 mpg
The Peugeot 308 nudges above the 90mpg barrier, with an official combined fuel economy figure of 91.1mpg, equating to 82g/km CO2.
Second place
Volkswagen Golf BlueMotion 88.3 mpg
88.3mpg from any small family car is pretty amazing, but this is a Volkswagen Golf, so it also comes with all the quality and reliability that you'd expect from a Golf.
Petrol and Hybrid Small Family Cars
First place
Toyota Auris HSD 80.7 mpg
The new Toyota Auris is lower, lighter and longer, and as efficient as ever, however it still can't match the driving experience of a Volkswagen Golf.
Second place
Lexus CT200h 78.5 mpg
The hybrid powertrain from the Toyota Prius is dropped into a Lexus body. So it's efficient and has a Lexus badge, but we're not wild about the way it looks.
Third place
Volkswagen Golf GT 1.0 TSI 115PS Match BlueMotion 65.7 mpg
The new Volkswagen Golf is, predictably, evolutionary rather than revolutionary, but it is still sufficiently improved in all areas, including efficiency, to keep it at the top of the class overall.
Plug-in Hybrid Small Family Cars
First place
Audi A3 Sportback e-tron 176.6 mpg
The Audi A3 Sportback e-tron is a petrol-electric plug-in hybrid, meaning that it benefits from a flaw in the NEDC test cycle and achieves an amazing 176.6mpg.
Extended-Range Electric Small Family Cars
First place
The new BMW i3 is available as either a pure electric car, or with a range-extender, to provide extra range for occasional longer journeys.
Electric Small Family Cars
First place
Yes it's an all-electric BMW, going under the name of the i3. Designed from the ground up as an electric car, it's lightweight and extremely innovative. Thanks to a larger capacity 94 Ah battery it has an official range of just under 200 miles.
Second place
Nissan is pinning a lot on the electric car taking off, and with their partners Renault they are fully committed. This means that the LEAF is a thoroughly engineered car.
Third place
The Volkswagen e-Golf, like the Ford Focus, is based on a conventional car – so helping to offer reassurance to potential owners of the electric Golf.
Fourth place
Whereas the BMW i3 is a new electric car from the ground up, the Ford Focus Electric is a Ford Focus with an electric powertrain replacing the petrol or diesel engine.

If you are having problems with mold, we will tell you how to clean mold off the walls. Mold is bad for your health and you should remove it from your walls and other objects.
In addition, mold can cause respiratory problems. Mold is an indicator of moisture, and you should take care of this problem in order to have a healthy home for you and your family.Mold also looks bad on the walls or other objects. There are many products designed to help you clean mold off your walls.
People usually think that mold is toxic. However, this cannot be easily determined, so you should just try to remove it, without being too afraid of mold toxicity.
The truth is that mold can affect your health in the long run, but it can not instantly harm you. At least it is the case with most of mold types. Nevertheless, you must use protective gloves while cleaning mold off your walls.
Simple Steps to Clean Mold off Walls
Mold can be simply wiped off the walls, but it can easily come back again. In that case, you didn't really do much. The only right way to remove mold is to prevent it from coming back. You can use a dehumidifier, which is designed to collect the moisture from the air and prevent too much moisture inside your house. Place one in every room and you will see the result.
You should detect the source of mold and concentrate to solving this problem. Take a firm brush and remove the mold from your walls. Apply bleach onto the walls. You should repeat this at least twice, meaning this would last for about two days. After that, apply bleach onto the walls one more time. Wait for two weeks and repeat this. That way you will be certain that the mold is destroyed. You can use any primer made for preventing mold. However, id you want to remove mold for good, you will just have to use bleach first. When applying bleach, make sure to use sufficient amount of bleach, since that is the only way to destroy mold permanently. Pay attention to wall cracks and other small holes. Fill them with bleach to prevent further spreading of mold spores.
You will damage the paint, of course, but that is not something to worry about, since your walls will have to be repainted after the mold removing process.

HIV / AIDS on African-American Community in U.S.
Certain diseases occur more frequently within certain communities or ethnic groups. In part, this can be connected to genetics, heritage, environment, or the habits of a given cultural or ethnic group. This phenomenon is no different with HIV / AIDS, an illness which has been aggravated in the African-American community. HIV stands for the human immunodeficiency virus, a virus which can eventually turn into AIDS, also known as the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. HIV / AIDS is believed to have come from a chimpanzee in West Africa: "They believe that the chimpanzee version of the immunodeficiency virus (called simian immunodeficiency virus, or SIV) most likely was transmitted to humans and mutated into HIV when humans hunted these chimpanzees for meat and came into contact with their infected blood. Studies show that HIV may have jumped from apes to humans as far back as the late 1800s" (Cdc.gov). One of the major issues with finding a treatment and a cure for this disease is because it impacts the very biological system which is designed to keep people healthy and to fight off all infections. The white blood cells which are the body's metaphorical "soldiers of defense" are targeted by this virus, making the human body vulnerable to infections and to other diseases. Thus, for most people who have died of AIDS, they've actually died of opportunistic infections that capitalize on the weakened organism that has been created by AIDS.
At this time, there is no cure for HIV / AIDS; however, there is a highly successful AIDS cocktail which can keep a given individual from having the disease progress. The AIDS cocktail is also known as HAART: "A variety of antiretroviral drug therapies are currently available via prescription to HIV-infected patients. Each drug included in the combination therapy serves a unique purpose. The combination of drugs works to prevent the virus from replicating, and in many cases can restore the patient's CD4 and T-cell counts, thus improving the quality and longevity of life" (Krucik, 2013). While strides like these in modern medicine have been amazing and essential, the virus is still something which needs to be acutely controlled through education and prevention.
Moreover, it cannot be denied that the disease is localized to the African-American community. This is directly connected to the fact that there are simply more African-Americans infected with HIV / AIDS: this means that if one is engaging actively in sex, romance, play or socially with a group of people who have a high rate of the disease, you're going to put yourself in a position where you're more at risk. "HIV / AIDS continues to affect the African-American community at disproportionate rates -- more than any other racial and ethnic group in the United States. According to the Center for Disease Control, African-Americans account for 51% of newly reported infections annually, but this population only makes up 12% of the total U.S. population" (impact DC, 2010). These statistics demonstrate how indeed this condition is something which overtly impacts this minority group more profoundly than others. There's a great deal of speculation and conjecture as to why this disparity exists: some cite barrier to healthcare and a stigma in connection with this group; others assert that African-Americans generally transmit the disease through intercourse with HIV positive people or those at an aggravated risk of HIV, those who shoot drugs via needles or through sexual contact with men (impact DC, 2010). "The estimated annual HIV / AIDS diagnosis rate among black males was 124.8 per 100,000 population and 60.2 per 100,000 among black females, both higher than the rates for all other racial and ethnic populations" (Impact DC, 2010). This means that one can consider the disease to have inflicted a state of emergency within the African-American community (Impact DC, 2010).
I selected this topic precisely because it amounts to such a profound state of emergency on the African-American community. It is because this disease is so invasive and so debilitating to this community that I have selected it as my topic of focus because it needs the attention. This is a population in America which is already still very largely disadvantaged and in need of additional support. This is a population in America which is vulnerable to poverty, teen pregnancies, poor health and unemployment. This is not a population that can adequately deal with such an invasive disease on their own, particularly one which wages so much destruction.
Topic of Concern
Not only is HIV / AIDS a condition which profoundly affects the African-American community in such an invasive and destructive way, it does so during a time when most people assume that HIV / AIDS is no longer as grave a problem as it once was. However, this is simply not true. HIV / AIDS, aside from having no cure, is easily spread among members of the population, through unprotected sex, blood transfusions or shared needles. Thus, individuals who engage in responsible actions might be considered to be acutely at risk for the condition. As the New York Times pointed out, "The AIDS epidemic is spreading faster than previously thought, even as the American public's concern about it declines. That dangerous disconnect underscores the urgency of a new campaign announced by the Obama administration to combat complacency about the disease and its potential to strike the unwary" (2009). While the public might be well acquainted with this disease, they've allowed themselves to descend into a strong degree of complacency. While this has happened, the disease has been able to gain strong momentum. Since many people don't consider the condition to still be a real threat or as aggravated a threat anymore, it's put people into a state where they're less careful about their actions, thus making themselves more at-risk for transmission. This contributes to making HIV / AIDS an even more dangerous disease, because of this denial. This is indeed a formidable prospect, given the fact that the disease has no cure.
"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that in 2006, 56,000 people around the country were newly infected with H.I.V., the virus that causes AIDS, a hefty boost from previous estimates of 40,000" (NY Times, 2009). At the same time, the Kaiser Family Foundation engaged in a survey which demonstrates a profound drop in interest in concern of Americans who mention interest or recent knowledge about HIV / AIDS: the amount of people who deemed HIV / AIDS an aggravated problem has dropped from 44% to 6% (NY Times, 2009). These numbers accurately demonstrate that there is a strong need to reawaken public interest in the disease. Too many people think that because the condition is treatable, it's not as intimidating or as deserving of our concern or attention as it once was. This type of complacency is precisely what allows the disease to spread. The lack of concern and the lack of interest in the condition creates a false sense of security and develops a playing field where the disease can more rapidly spread: precisely because individuals are taking little action or proactive steps against it. This demonstrates the inherent state of emergency within the African-American community: this community is being crippled by the disease and is surrounded by a society that appears to care very little about it.
CHN Nursing Work and Interventions
As Community Health Nurse (CHN) I would work tirelessly on this issue in order to solve it. The first thing that I believe would be completely vital in gaining some success in this arena would be supporting prevention through education (Stanhope, 2012). All African-Americans need to know that they're in a completely vulnerable and higher-risk position for contracting HIV / AIDS. They need to know that they're still at risk and that this is still considered a tremendously formidable disease in America today. Members of this population need to know that the disease is considered to be an actual real state of emergency within their community. They need to be told that they have to arm themselves against this disease. One way of arming themselves is through education. I would work with other professionals in the field such as clinicians from AIDS clinics, other community nurses and health educators within the community to discuss how we can create a meaningful message about preventing HIV / AIDS. Studies have found that when working with African-American youths, both abstinence and safer-sex interventions can minimize the risky sexual behaviors that can lead to HIV; these interventions have been found to be most effective with adolescents (Jemmott et al., 1998).
Another pillar of the education and prevention process would be in distributing the tools and literature in the community so that people can take the safest form of action in protecting themselves. For example, this means distributing things like free condoms to people in the community who are sexually active, and making clean needles available to intravenous drug users, and distributing to everyone flyers…[continue]

What they found was that religiosity played a significant role in predicting the level of religious stigma, which led to beliefs that HIV/ADIS might be a curse or punishment from God (Muturi & an, 2010). This leads to the conclusion that faith-based organizations could play an important role in HIV / AIDS prevention and treatment in the community. Anyone familiar with HIV research is aware of the high correlation between
To understand how communities attitude about the disease contributes to the spread of the disease To determine which measures need to be taken to educate women of color concerning the seriousness of the disease. Aims The proposed study is to add to the bevy of research which suggests that there are social, medical and communal reasons why women of color are at a greater risk of becoming infected with the AIDS virus. Additionally,
AIDS/HIV AIDS is the acronym for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, a human viral disease that affects and destroys the immune system. It is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and leaves an infected person vulnerable to opportunistic infections. No cure has as yet been found for AIDS and is invariably fatal once the infection is full blown although certain treatments can prolong the life spans and improve the quality of life
African-Americans and AIDS Risk The increased incidence of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) among the African-American population is an alarming issue. 35% - more than one third - of all cases reported in the United States and 43% of newly reported AIDS cases are among African-Americans, even though this population only comprises 12% of the American population (PR Newswire, 1998). Among all new AIDS cases reported by
African-American Women in New York State "About 30% of Hispanic and 20% of African-Americans lack a usual source of health care compared with less than 16% of European-Americans" (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, 2003). "Racial and ethnic disparities in health care, whether in insurance coverage, access, or quality of care, are one of many factors producing inequalities in health status in the United States" (Lillie-Blanton & Lewis, 2005, p. 1).
(Archie-Booker, Cervero, and Langone, 1999) This study concludes that: "...power relations manifested themselves concretely through these factors in the social and organizational context, which by defining African-American learners as generic entities, produced undifferentiated educational programs." (Archie-Booker, Cervero, and Langone, 1999) The work of Gilbert and Wright reports a study conducted through collecting a series of articles in which African-American women were interviewed concerning living with AIDS. They write in their

It is said that Thales, considered the first philosopher, was in the import-export business, invented the concept of the mathematical proof in order not to be short-changed in overseas transactions, and began thinking up naturalistic explanations for such phenomena as eclipses and fossils.
Greek culture evolved a system of independent city states that were usually at war with one another, and despite Athenian culture and political dominance, Athens was overthrown by the conservative and militaristic Spartans, and never regained its former dominance. Greece and much of the rest of the known world was first unified under the short-lived empire created by Alexander of Macedon, but then fell apart into six different provinces ruled by his generals. The Mediterranean world was not permanently unified until it was all conquered by the Romans.
The pattern in India was roughly similar. The earlier, autonomous Indus valley civilization apparently was conquered about 1500 by the Indo-European ...

PostNuke Craze.....
I've noticed the PostNuke craze happening all over... Mainly because on a few of my sites, I've decided to go with that platform...
Why I'm posting is that I'm wondering how everyone else feels about it...
I believe that it's a great platform, designed so that you can get a site up and running in around an hour, then start concentrating on content, rather than the deployment issues you normally had, such as parsing, and layout coding....
It has relatively low overhead, and I've had NO issues with it what-so-ever... I have four sites on my server running it, without any hiccups....
So, I'm guessing that it's running smoothly...
Any complaints or issues that you've encountered (other than the bulletin boards)? I mean... I can see why some people wouldn't use it... "I want to write my own code" ... you know who I'm talking about... Those ego-freaks who can't understand someone else's code......
are two examples.....

A long time ago I had a dabble with phpNuke. The only trouble I have with all these 'websites-in-a-box' are they all look very similar. They provide a great starting point but work still needs to be done on them to be able to get a website which doesn't look like "just another Nuke site".

Deeper Meditation With Moksha Vitara Pendant
Posted on December 4, 2016 by Visvamitra
The Moksha Vitara technology is also available in a beautiful and convenient pendant configuration with enhanced functionality that allows the experience of deeper meditations by quieting the conscious thinking mind. This makes it easier to perform the meditation practices of Dharana and Dhyana. Dharana is the practice of thinking the mantra in the conscious thinking mind. If the mind is calm and free of extraneous thoughts and emotions, then Dharana is easy and comfortable. If the mind is full of competing thoughts and emotions it is difficult to focus on the mantra and meditation seems shallow and ineffective. There is a sense of wasting time instead of deep fulfillment of experiencing the mantra going on in the mind automatically and refining into the depths of inner silence.
Dhyana is the practice of withdrawing from the conscious thinking mind and witnessing the activity from the subtle mind. Dhyana does not depend on the conscious thinking mind but instead on the ability to bring awareness into the subtle mind. However to accomplish Dhyana is delicate and without the cooperation of the conscious thinking mind it is much more difficult. So it is important to do everything possible to calm the conscious thinking mind. Meditation is like a controlled enviornment or laboratory of sorts where we can practice developing this ablity to keep awareness in the subtle mind and witness the conscious thinking mind. The mantra is the most simple thought possible, it is just a sound with no meaning attached to it. This gives the conscious thinking mind something to think but not something to think about. Then if we identify with the silence that is easy to experience in this calm mind, we can move our awareness into that silence and witness the conscious thinking mind. Repeated and extended experience of witnessing the conscious thinking mind in this controlled environment leads to the ability continue to witness the conscious thinking mind when we begin yoga sutras and the practice of samyama.

Nike SB Dunk Low "Danny Supa" – 2012 Sample
June 26, 2012
The folks at Nike SB are looking to bring back yet another classic SB Dunk. This time around the "Supa" Dunk from 2002 gets the nod, however the Retro will likely not be in true OG fashion. Like in the past, the shoes will probably get a high top makeover. As for now no official word from Nike on this Retro however Danny Supa states you can expect to see these in Holiday 2017.

|Episode of Hey Arnold!
|Sid the Vampire Slayer
|Season 5, Episode 81a
|Written by: Michelle Lamoreaux
|Air date: March 18, 2000
|IMDb • TV.com
Don Del Grande's
Sid the Vampire Slayer is an episode in the Hey Arnold! TV Series.
After watching a horror film, Sid notices that Stinky has the attributes of being a vampire.
- This episode gained minor controversy and misconception when Stinky said to Sid, "Quit acting like a dang fool!" Several people thought he said, "Stop being a damn fool!".
- This was the first episode to feature Stinky with Christopher Walberg's deeper voice.
- Ernie Potts makes a cameo in the horror film at the beginning.
- Sid pulled Arnold into the janitor's closet, just like in the episode "Sid's Revenge"
- In the end, it is shown that Stinky might actually be a vampire. However, it was likely a joke.
- The title is a parody of the movie and The WB later UPN T.V. series Buffy the Vampire Slayer which ran on March 10, 1997 to May 20, 2003.
- In the movie theater, Miss Felter is sitting behind Stinky and Tish is sitting behind Sid
- When Arnold and Sid watch Stinky get into what they mistake is a coffin, Sid unintentionally makes a pun.
- The man in the movie telling the civilians to kill the vampire is modeled after Peter Cushing who appeared in the Hammer Dracula (among many other Hammer films) movies alongside Christopher Lee.
- When the lunch lady says "garlic bread Stinky?", her mouth doesn't move.
- In the lunch line beside Brainy, Joey has the same blue pants white shirt outfit as Eugene (minus the underwear) and even has the same orange hair color and white skin as Eugene.
- At lunch, both Harold's shirt and arm are shown to be different colors than what they are. Harold's shirt is a different skin tone and his shirt is shown green with a red stripe on the sleeve. In the same scene Eugene is shown without his socks.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ET AL., APPELLANTS; FARRELL LINES, INC., APPELLEE, V. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ET AL., APPELLANTS
Appeal from an order of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Charles L. Brieant, Jr., Judge, denying enforcement to portions of civil investigative demands issued by the Justice Department pursuant to the Antitrust Civil Process Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1311-1314.
Kaufman and Kearse, Circuit Judges, and MacMahon, District Judge.*fn*
KAUFMAN, Circuit Judge.
This appeal from a district court order setting aside certain portions of Civil Investigative Demands ("CID's") issued by the Justice Department pursuant to the Antitrust Civil Process Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1311-1314, presents difficult issues of first impression.
With due regard to the manifest authority of the executive branch to conduct antitrust investigations, we are called upon to weigh the Government's legitimate need for requested information against appellees' claim that disclosure will interfere with both their unquestioned right to petition government agencies and the smooth functioning of foreign relations. More specifically, we are required to determine whether appellees' communications with the U.S. Federal Maritime Commission are shielded from Justice Department inquiry by the Noerr-Pennington doctrine, and whether the so-called "act of state" doctrine prohibits this Court from enforcing the Government's request for communications between the appellees and governmental bodies in Australia and New Zealand. Because we believe that under the circumstances of this case, neither the Noerr-Pennington doctrine nor the act of state doctrine should be applied to bar enforcement of the challenged CID's, we reverse the order of the district court.
Since this case reaches us well before any determination has been made to charge an antitrust violation, there are no pleadings to which we can refer and the facts relevant to this controversy over the production of documents must of necessity be stated briefly.
Spurred by complaints from independent ocean carriers concerning their alleged illegal exclusion from certain international shipping, the Department of Justice began an investigation into possible antitrust violations committed by the principal carriers of meat, livestock and wool to the United States from Australia and New Zealand. The appellees, Associated Container Transportation (Australia) Ltd. ("Associated Container"), Hamburg-Sudamerikanische Dampfschiffahrts-Gesellschaft, Eggert & Amsinck ("Columbus Line") and Farrell Lines, Inc. ("Farrell Lines") were among the targets of this investigation.*fn1
As substantial participants in the Australia/New Zealand-United States shipping market, appellees are members of various shipping conferences and agreements including the U.S. Atlantic & Gulf/Australia-New Zealand Conference, the Australia/Eastern U.S.A. Shipping Conference and the New Zealand/U.S. Atlantic & Gulf Shipping Lines Rate Agreement. These conferences hold regular meetings to discuss trade matters, non-conference competition and rate levels, and to decide upon rate increases or reductions. Conference members also enter written agreements establishing rates and regulations governing international shipping which are subject to approval by the Federal Maritime Commission ("FMC") pursuant to the Shipping Act, 46 U.S.C. § 814. The FMC will not approve agreements it finds to be "discriminatory or unfair [as between competing shippers],. . . or [which otherwise] operate to the detriment of the commerce of the United States. . . ." Id. It must also disapprove any agreements between carriers of different conferences which would otherwise be naturally competitive unless the arrangements provide that each carrier retain the right of independent action. Id. Only those agreements made lawful by the Shipping Act are immune from the antitrust laws. Id.*fn2 The activities of conference members allegedly outside this antitrust exemption were the primary focus of the Justice Department's inquiry.
To further its investigation and to substantiate charges that appellees had engaged in illegal conduct such as predatory pricing, reciprocal dealing and group boycotts, the Department of Justice in May and June 1980 issued Civil Investigative Demands ("CID's") pursuant to the Antitrust Civil Process Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1311-1314. Virtually identical CID's were served on each appellee.*fn3 The Government requested detailed information concerning the shippers' activities including minutes from conference meetings, descriptions of internal firm structure, and copies of various shipping contracts. Most significant for purposes of this dispute, the Department of Justice also sought to obtain communications between the appellees and the U.S. Federal Maritime Commission and communications between appellees and the Australian Meat and Live-stock Corporation ("AMLC")*fn4 and the New Zealand Wool Board ("NZWB").
The AMLC is an agency of the Australian government, which oversees all aspects of the meat industry. No shipper may enter into a contract to export meat from Australia without AMLC approval. Section 14, Australian Meat and Live-stock Corporation Act, 1977, Joint Appendix ("J.A.") at 83-90. The New Zealand Wool Board performs similar functions for wool in New Zealand. New Zealand Wool Industry Act, 1977, J.A. at 102-108. The Department of Justice does not dispute that the AMLC and the NZWB are legitimate instrumentalities of their respective governments.
Each appellee filed a timely petition to set aside the CID's, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1314(b). The appellees also served interrogatories on the Department of Justice seeking to discover in greater depth the substance of the Government's investigation. Overruling the Government's objections to appellees' queries, Judge Brieant held the appellees had a right to reasonable discovery since they alleged "facially legitimate objections to the authority of the Antitrust Division to investigate their activities." Associated Container Transportation (Australia) Ltd. v. United States, 502 F. Supp. 505, 510 (S.D.N.Y. 1980). The Justice Department then answered the interrogatories and cross-petitioned for enforcement of its CID's.
Judge Brieant granted the Government's cross-petitions in most respects and ordered the CID's enforced.*fn5 He concluded that the possible exemption from the antitrust laws provided by the Shipping Act, 46 U.S.C. § 814 was insufficient to shield alleged conduct such as reciprocal dealing, predatory pricing and group boycotts from antitrust liability. He also determined that complaints from competing shippers were an adequate ground to justify an investigation. In two important respects, however, the district court denied enforcement of the CID's.
The district judge accepted appellees' argument that their communications with the Federal Maritime Commissioner were shielded from government inquiry by the Noerr-Pennington doctrine which immunizes from antitrust prosecution "[joint efforts] to influence the passage or enforcement of laws." Eastern R.R. Presidents Conference v. Noerr Motor Freight, Inc., 365 U.S. 127, 135, 5 L. Ed. 2d 464, 81 S. Ct. 523 (1961). Accordingly, he refused to enforce those portions of the CID's which sought information concerning appellees' communications with the FMC regarding FMC Agreement Nos. 9450 and 10268 (agreements establishing the rules and regulations of the Australia/Eastern U.S.A. Shipping Conference) and appellee contacts with FMC commissioners.*fn6
The district court also would not permit the Justice Department to investigate appellees' contacts with the AMLC and the NZWB. It found such an inquiry would require the court to question the motives of foreign governmental bodies responsible for selecting the ocean carriers able to transport goods from their respective countries. Relying on Hunt v. Mobil Oil Corp., 550 F.2d 68 (2d Cir.), cert. denied, 434 U.S. 984, 54 L. Ed. 2d 477, 98 S. Ct. 608 (1977), which interpreted the act of state doctrine as prohibiting United States courts from probing the motives of foreign governments, Judge Brieant, therefore denied enforcement of those portions of the CID's seeking information concerning appellees' communications with agencies of the Australian and New Zealand governments.*fn7 The United States appeals from Judge Brieant's order.
We commence our consideration of the Government's efforts to enforce the challenged CID's by recognizing the broad investigatory powers granted to the Justice Department by the Antitrust Civil Process Act ("ACPA"), 15 U.S.C. §§ 1311-1314. Congress has explicitly authorized the Antitrust Division to request the production of any documentary material, answers to written interrogatories or oral testimony which it has reason to believe is relevant to a civil antitrust investigation, 15 U.S.C. § 1312(a).*fn8 Moreover, ACPA's legislative history indicates that the Justice Department is to be given wide latitude when issuing CID's. Although the permissible scope of CID provisions is governed by either the grand jury subpoena standard or the civil discovery standard, see 15 U.S.C. § 1312(c)(1)(A) & (B), the House report accompanying the 1976 amendments to ACPA reveals a preference for the less stringent grand jury subpoena standard, "tailored as it is to reflect the broader scope and less precise nature of investigations." H. Rep. No. 1343, 94th Cong., 2d Sess. 11 (1976), reprinted in [1976] U.S. Code Cong. & Ad. News 2596, 2606.*fn9
In sum, the unmistakable purpose of ACPA was to facilitate the Justice Department's efforts to obtain evidence during the course of a civil investigation. See H. Rep. No. 1386, 87th Cong., 2d Sess. (1962), reprinted in [1962] U.S. Code Cong. & Ad. News, 2567, 2568.
Aware of the difficulty of resisting legitimate government inquiries, appellees do not challenge the specificity of the CID's, nor do they claim the burden of compliance would be "unreasonable or oppressive," objections traditionally raised in response to grand jury subpoenas. See Brown v. United States, 276 U.S. 134, 142-43, 72 L. Ed. 500, 48 S. Ct. 288 (1928); see also Fed. R. Crim. P. 17(b); cf. Oklahoma Press Publishing Co. v. Walling, 327 U.S. 186, 195, 90 L. Ed. 614, 66 S. Ct. 494 (1946) (administrative subpoena). Neither do appellees principally rely on the Government's inability to demonstrate that the CID's are "reasonably calculated to produce admissible evidence." Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b). Rather they depend upon independent considerations, inherent in both the Noerr-Pennington and act of state doctrines, which they believe immunize the requested communications. We will discuss the proper application of these legal principles seriatim.
A. Noerr-Pennington
It is beyond peradventure that concerted efforts to influence public officials are generally immune from Sherman Act prosecution regardless of anticompetitive purpose or effect. See Eastern R.R. Presidents Conference v. Noerr Motor Freight, Inc., supra, 365 U.S. at 135; United Mine Workers of America v. Pennington, 381 U.S. 657, 670, 14 L. Ed. 2d 626, 85 S. Ct. 1585 (1965). Indeed, the right to petition the government is fundamental to our representative democracy, and the Supreme Court has repeatedly made clear that the antitrust laws were not intended to interfere with this basic freedom. Id. The Noerr-Pennington doctrine, however, is not without exceptions. It does not for example shield those who attempt to abuse the governmental process for the purpose of injuring a competitor. See California Motor Transport Co. v. Trucking Unlimited, 404 U.S. 508, 30 L. Ed. 2d 642, 92 S. Ct. 609 (1972). In addition, the appellees are not resisting formal antitrust charges and cannot, therefore, simply rely on a doctrine which protects from prosecution businesses seeking to influence the enforcement of laws. To prevail on this appeal, appellees must demonstrate not that their conduct may be immune from prosecution, but rather that their communications with the Federal Maritime Commission are beyond the scope of legitimate inquiry. We believe they have failed to make such a showing.
Appellees contend their attempts to gain FMC approval of their shipping agreements are protected by the Noerr-Pennington doctrine. Accordingly, they argue, these actions are "exempt" from the antitrust laws and cannot be the subject of a civil investigative demand. The House report accompanying the 1976 amendments to the Antitrust Civil Process Act does indicate that a CID recipient may refuse to comply with any CID "if the Division has no jurisdiction to conduct an investigation -- which will be the case if the activities at issue enjoy a clear exemption from the antitrust laws." H. Rep. No. 1343, 94th Cong., 2d Sess. 1, 11 (1976) (emphasis added), reprinted in [1976] U.S. Code Cong. & Ad. News at 2606. That discussion goes on to provide, however, that
the Committee stresses that the scope of many antitrust exemptions is not precisely clear ; and many others, especially those among the regulated industries and what were formally term[ed] "the learned professions" are currently being narrowed by statute or judicial rulings. In these many cases, the applicability of an asserted exemption may well be a central issue in the case. If so, the mere assertion of the exemption should not be allowed to halt the investigation.
Id. n. 30 (emphasis added).
The Noerr-Pennington immunity of appellees' contacts with the FMC is far from clear. As we have noted, Noerr-Pennington does not protect abuses of the governmental process. Misrepresentations, for example, may not be condoned in an adjudicatory process. California Motor Transport Co. v. Trucking Unlimited, supra, 404 U.S. at 513. Similarly, a pattern of baseless repetitive claims may induce antitrust liability. Id.; see also Litton Systems v. American Telephone & Telegraph Co., 700 F.2d 785, 809-812 (2d Cir. 1983). At this preliminary stage of the proceedings it simply cannot be determined whether appellees' efforts to obtain approval of their shipping agreements involved any such abuses.
Appellees place considerable weight on the Justice Department's inability to provide interrogatory answers showing a reasonable basis to believe that the shippers' conduct falls within this so-called "sham" exception to Noerr-Pennington. It is wholly unsurprising, however, that the Government refuses to speculate on the nature of documents it has not yet had the opportunity to review. Only after the Antitrust Division has examined the requested communications will it be able to decide intelligently whether appellees' conduct violates the Sherman Act. At that point, should the Government choose to bring charges, appellees can raise their Noerr-Pennington defense for evaluation by the court. In addition, even were the Justice Department to conclude that none of the appellees' communications with the FMC gave rise to antitrust liability, those documents might alert the authorities to other evidence revealing an illegal antitrust conspiracy entirely unrelated to appellees' legitimate activities before the FMC. Indeed, several complaints from independent shippers concerning the efforts of conference members to exclude competition suggest that the CID's are "reasonably calculated to produce admissible evidence" regardless of possible Noerr-Pennington immunity which might shield some of appellees' activity. See North Carolina Electric Membership Corp. v. Carolina Power & Light Co., 666 F.2d 50, 52-53 (4th Cir. 1981) (Noerr-Pennington inapplicable to discovery).
Appellees further allege that enforcement of the CID's will have a chilling effect on their first amendment rights. Initially, we find it difficult to see how any chill will take place. The affidavit of Kenneth R. Egan, Vice President of Columbus Line, indicates merely that issuance of the CID's has made certain ocean carriers more attentive to the possible antitrust implications of their activities. This salutary result stands in marked contrast to the threat to legitimate political activity which in some cases may be engendered by public disclosure. Cf. NAACP v. Alabama, 357 U.S. 449, 2 L. Ed. 2d 1488, 78 S. Ct. 1163 (1958) (membership list of civil rights organization constitutionally protected from state scrutiny).
Moreover, this Court has previously rejected a claim that a subpoena addressed to a business publication was unenforceable because the publication was a "bona fide newspaper" and therefore exempt from the provisions of the Investment Advisers Act pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 80b-2(a)(11). SEC v. Wall Street Transcript Corp., 422 F.2d 1371 (2d Cir.), cert. denied, 398 U.S. 958, 90 S. Ct. 2170, 26 L. Ed. 2d 542 (1970) (Securities and Exchange Commission could with constitutional propriety subpoena advertising and subscriber records.) The court held that "the question of the inclusion of a particular person or entity with the coverage of a regulatory statute is generally for initial determination by an agency." Id. at 1375. In the absence of any showing that appellees will suffer adverse repercussions from the disclosure of constitutionally protected communications, similar principles apply here. Although the Antitrust Division is not a traditional regulatory agency, it is responsible for enforcing the Sherman Act, and indeed ACPA provides specific congressional authorization for the Justice Department's requests. See Oklahoma Press Publishing Co. v. Walling, supra, 327 U.S. at 214. Only when permitted to utilize its investigatory authority will the Division be able to exercise its expertise to determine whether the antitrust laws have been violated or whether the Noerr-Pennington doctrine immunizes appellees' conduct. If at some later date, appellees believe the Justice Department has misapplied the law, it may raise its Noerr-Pennington defense in court at the appropriate time. Accordingly, the Noerr-Pennington doctrine does not bar enforcement of the challenged CID's at this incipient stage of the inquiry.
B. Act of State Doctrine
Appellees' invocation of the act of state doctrine to protect their communications with the Australian and New Zealand governments is similarly premature.*fn10 "[That] doctrine in its traditional formulation precludes the courts of this country from inquiring into the validity of the public acts a recognized sovereign power committed within its own territory." Banco Nacional de Cuba v. Sabbatino, 376 U.S. 398, 401, 11 L. Ed. 2d 804, 84 S. Ct. 923 (1964). Rooted in considerations of international comity and separation of powers, the act of state doctrine has been applied to prevent the judicial branch from inquiring into the Cuban government's expropriation of sugar within its borders, id., to preclude a labor union from invoking federal court jurisdiction to challenge alleged price-fixing by foreign sovereigns, International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers v. Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, 649 F.2d 1354 (9th Cir. 1981), cert. denied, 454 U.S. 1163, 71 L. Ed. 2d 319, 102 S. Ct. 1036 (1982), and to bar suit by a Venezuelan national for damages allegedly incurred when a military authority denied plaintiff a passport, Underhill v. Hernandez, 168 U.S. 250, 42 L. Ed. 456, 18 S. Ct. 83 (1897). In essence, courts have recognized that the conduct of foreign relations is within the province of the executive branch and have refused under certain circumstances to become embroiled in international political controversies.
The mere fact that a lawsuit involves activities abroad, however, does not imply that American courts are without jurisdiction. See, e.g., Filartiga v. Pena-Irala, 630 F.2d 876, 889-90 (2d Cir. 1980). The Supreme Court has indicated that application of the act of state doctrine depends upon a "balance of relevant considerations," Banco Nacional de Cuba v. Sabbatino, supra, 376 U.S. at 428, and this Court has mandated "a careful case-by-case analysis of the extent to which the separation of powers concerns . . . are implicated." Texas Trading & Milling Corp. v. Federal Republic of Nigeria, 647 F.2d 300, 316 n. 38 (2d Cir. 1981), cert. denied, 454 U.S. 1148, 71 L. Ed. 2d 301, 102 S. Ct. 1012 (1982). For several reasons, that analysis reveals the act of state doctrine is not implicated by the Justice Department's attempts to enforce the challenged CID's.
The Government's attempts to enforce the challenged CID's simply do not present the traditional situation where courts must assess the legitimacy of actions taken by a foreign government before reaching a determination on the merits of a party's case. The Antitrust Division does not ask this Court to question the validity of actions taken by the Australian and New Zealand governments, see Banco Nacional de Cuba v. Sabbatino, supra, 376 U.S. at 401. Indeed, our determination that appellees must relinquish the requested documents does not involve an evaluation of the propriety of decisions made by the AMLC or the NZWB. We need decide only that the Justice Department has demonstrated a reasonable basis to believe the requested information is relevant to a legitimate antitrust investigation, see 15 U.S.C. § 1312(a). As previously noted, the Government has satisfied this requirement. Accordingly, appellees cannot rely on the courts' unwillingness to adjudicate matters which may require them to express views contrary to those of the executive branch on the validity of actions taken by a foreign sovereign. Instead, appellees invite us to halt an on-going investigation being conducted by the Justice Department, a division of the executive branch whose independence the act of state doctrine primarily protects.*fn11 We decline to do so.
Appellees argue that the antitrust investigation will necessarily entail an examination of the motives of the AMLC and the NZWB. Our decision in Hunt v. Mobil Oil Corp., 550 F.2d 68 (2d Cir.), cert. denied, 434 U.S. 984, 54 L. Ed. 2d 477, 98 S. Ct. 608 (1977), they allege, makes such an inquiry impermissible. In Hunt, private plaintiffs brought suit against major oil producers alleging that an illegal antitrust conspiracy among them had caused the Libyan government to nationalize the Hunt oil fields. This Court affirmed Judge Weinfeld's dismissal of the action because the claim "is . . . not viable unless the judicial branch examines the motivation of the Libyan action and that inevitably involves its validity." Hunt v. Mobil Oil Corp., supra, 550 F.2d at 77 (emphasis added). We find Hunt clearly distinguishable.
Initially, this case reaches us well before the Government has determined whether to make formal antitrust charges. The requested documents may reveal antitrust violations wholly unrelated to either the validity of actions taken by the Australian or New Zealand governments or the motives of these foreign sovereigns. In addition, since the Hunts could not prevail without establishing "a clear causal connection between the violation alleged and the injuries allegedly suffered," Salerno v. American League of Professional Baseball Clubs, 429 F.2d 1003, 1004 (2d Cir. 1970), cert. denied, 400 U.S. 1001, 27 L. Ed. 2d 452, 91 S. Ct. 462 (1971) (quoting Molinas v. National Basketball Association, 190 F. Supp. 241, 243 (S.D.N.Y. 1961)), they could not succeed without proving that the defendants' conspiracy caused the Libyan government to confiscate their property. The Justice Department, of course, need not demonstrate private injury to establish a violation of the antitrust laws. It could prove, for example, that appellees attempted to monopolize the market for shipping certain commodities between Australia/New Zealand and the United States without making any claims concerning the acts or motivations of the Australian government. See 15 U.S.C. § 2. Accordingly, it cannot be determined at this stage of the proceedings whether any court will ever be called upon to investigate the validity of actions taken by a foreign government. Under these circumstances, we believe judicial refusal to enforce legitimate Government requests for information would constitute an unwarranted extension of the act of state doctrine.
Our conclusion that the Noerr-Pennington doctrine and the act of state doctrine do not bar enforcement of the challenged CID's in no way indicates that these doctrines may not properly be invoked at a later stage of these proceedings should the Justice Department decide to bring formal charges. We hold merely that appellees have failed to demonstrate that the important considerations underlying these fundamental principles of law are sufficiently implicated by the Government's requests to justify blocking a congressionally authorized investigation.
The order of the district court is reversed.

'On the evidence of THE COMPLAINTS it looks as if Fox will be just as sure-footed a guide to the city as his grizzled predecessor' DAILY EXPRESS.
Nobody likes The Complaints - they're the cops who investigate other cops. Complaints and Conduct Department, to give them their full title, but known colloquially as 'the Dark Side', or simply 'The Complaints'. Malcolm Fox works for The Complaints. He's just had a result, and should be feeling good about himself. But he's middle-aged, sour and unwell. He also has a father in a care home and a sister who persists in an abusive relationship.
In the midst of an aggressive Edinburgh winter, the reluctant Fox is given a new task. There's a cop called Jamie Breck, and he's dirty. Problem is, no one can prove it. But as Fox takes on the job, he learns that there's more to Breck than anyone thinks. This knowledge will prove dangerous, especially when murder intervenes.
