The news in itself isn't that dramatic. Ford Motors is going to start assembling Ford Taurus instrument panels in a Chicago facility rather than outsourcing them. But, according to an automotive insourcing article by Sarah Webster of the Detroit Free Press, this is "ominous news" for Tier 2 and Tier 3 members of the automotive value chain. Why? Because it's the first manifestation of what is expected to be a significant move back to insourcing .
What's driving this trend is the recently-inked UAW contract, which includes a lower pay level of roughly $14.00 per hour for new hires. This is about the same wage that many suppliers to Ford, Chrysler and GM pay their workers and, as Webster reports, about half what the Detroit 3 pay their "regular" workers. The bottom line, quite literally, is that there is no longer a cost advantage to outsourcing – at least not when the work is outsourced to U.S. companies. In fact, even the cost advantage of low-wage countries, pegged at about 17 percent by manufacturing productivity experts at the Michigan Manufacturing Technology Center, may go away.
The Detroit 3 are so sure that insourcing will work that they collectively guaranteed in their new UAW contracts to insource 5,025 jobs. This is tough news for suppliers. It should also serve as a wake-up call for every supplier in every large-scale value chain.
There are a few lessons here. The first is that competing on price alone is very risky over the long term if you're an American company. As we're all painfully aware, today's global economy makes price competition difficult to impossible, and things are likely to get worse before they get better.
The second is that your best chance of success is by adding value through brain power and experience. A senior Ford executive specifically singled out engineering and technological knowledge as factors that would weigh heavily in the choice of suppliers whose components would continue to be outsourced.
The third is that depending on a single value chain as a source of business makes you vulnerable, and it's wise to look for these opportunities before a crisis ararives. Suppliers in the automotive value chain, for example, could look to markets in marine equipment, exercise machines like treadmills, off-road vehicles, motorized recreational gear and so on.
Having run a small business myself, I know how hard it is to find time to pursue new opportunities when you're dealing with a late shipment, a disgruntled employee, an upset customer and an urgent phone call from your account about a tax problem. It's not easy. That bears repeating. It's not easy. But, as the events in Detroit demonstrate, companies that don't set aside time for building a broader customer base may find themselves with no customers at all.

National News
The man suspected of killing over 20 people at a US school was an honours student who lived in a prosperous neighbourhood with his mother.
Adam Lanza is accused of killing his mother at their home before driving her car to Sandy Hook Elementary School and - armed with at least two handguns - killing 27 people there. Among the dead were 20 children aged 5-10 years.
Lanza was also found dead at the school by authorities, who later discovered a third weapon, a .223-calibre rifle, in Lanza's mother's car. More guns were also found inside the school.
The 20-year-old may have suffered from a personality disorder, law enforcement officials said.
Investigators were trying to learn as much as possible about Lanza, but so far authorities have not spoken publicly of any possible motive. Witnesses said the shooter didn't utter a word.
Catherine Urso, who was attending a vigil Friday evening in Newtown, Connecticut, the scene of the massacre, said her college-age son knew the suspected killer and remembered him for his alternative style.
''He just said he was very thin, very remote and was one of the goths,'' she said.
Lanza and his mother, Nancy, lived in a well-to-do part of Newtown, a prosperous community of 27,000 people about 100km northeast of New York City.
A grandmother of the suspect - who is also the mother of Nancy Lanza - was too distraught to speak when reached by phone at her home in Florida.
''I just don't know, and I can't make a comment right now,'' Dorothy Hanson, 78, said in a shaky voice as she started to cry.
A law enforcement official speaking on condition of anonymity said investigators believe Lanza attended the school several years ago, but appeared to have no recent connection to the place.
At least one parent said Lanza's mother was a substitute teacher there. But her name did not appear on a staff list. And the law enforcement official said investigators were unable to establish any connection so far between her and the school.
Adam Lanza's older brother, 24-year-old Ryan Lanza, was being questioned, a law enforcement official said.
He told authorities that his brother was believed to suffer from a personality disorder, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak on the record about the unfolding investigation.
The official did not elaborate, and it was unclear exactly what type of disorder he might have had.
Ryan Lanza had been extremely cooperative and was not under arrest or in custody, but investigators were still searching his computers and phone records. Ryan Lanza told law enforcement he had not been in touch with his brother since about 2010.
Earlier, authorities mistakenly named Ryan as the suspected killer owing to a mistaken transposing of names.
Brett Wilshe, a friend of Ryan Lanza's, said he sent him a Facebook message Friday asking what was going on and if he was okay.
According to Wilshe, Lanza's reply was something along the lines of: ''It was my brother. I think my mother is dead. Oh my God.''
Adam Lanza attended Newtown High School, and several local news clippings from recent years mention his name among the school's honour roll students.
Sandeep Kapur, who lives two doors down from the Lanza family in Newtown, said he did not know them and was unaware of any disturbances at the Lanza house in the three years that he and his family have been in the neighbourhood.
He described the area as a subdivision of well-tended, 15-year-old homes on lots of an acre or more, where many people work at companies like General Electric, Pepsi and IBM.
Some are doctors, and his next-door neighbour is a bank CEO, said Kapur, a project manager at an information technology firm.
''The neighbourhood's great. We have young kids, and they have lots of friends,'' he said.
''If you drive past this neighbourhood, it gives you a really warm feeling.''
The rampage in the northeastern state of Connecticut was at least the fourth big shooting spree in five months in the United States. It was by far the deadliest of the year and the most heart-wrenching.
The children, aged 5-10 years, were among the youngest victims of a mass shooting in recent history.
The chaos struck Friday (local time) as children gathered in their classrooms for morning meetings.
Police swarmed the scene and locked down the school, rushing children to safety, some of them bloodied.
Distraught parents converged, frantically searching for their daughters and sons.
Neighbours and friends wandered in shock, looking for information.
''It's hard to believe that anything like this could happen in this town,'' said resident Peter Alpi, 70, as he fought back tears.
''It's a very quiet town. Maybe it's too quiet.''
US President Obama has gone on national television to express "overwhelming grief'' at the tragedy.
His sentiment was echoed by American politicians the nation over.
''Evil visited this community today,'' Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy told reporters.
"There is not a parent in America who does not feel the same overwhelming grief that I do,'' Obama said.
An emotional Obama said that as a country, the US had been through shootings like this too many times and pledged "meaningful action'' on the issue "regardless of politics''.
"Our hearts are broken today,'' Obama said. He said it was possible the toll could go higher.
Mergim Bajraliu, a 17-year-old high school student, said he was at his home nearby when he heard two shots. He and a neighbour ran to the school to find his 9-year-old sister, Venesa.
"My heart sank," he said, describing seeing two students covered in blood being carried out of the building, one of whom looked like his sister. To his relief, his sister later emerged unharmed, and Bajraliu greeted her with a hug.
"I was like, 'Oh my God," Bajraliu said.
Home to about 27,000 people, the wealthy, wooded town of Newtown is in southeastern Connecticut, about 130 km northeast of New York City.
It is a so-called bedroom community, with many homes situated on multiple acres of land and residents commuting to larger cities including Hartford and Stamford.
"You can never be prepared for this kind of incident," Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy told reporters.
"What has happened, what has transpired at this school building will leave a mark on this community and every family impacted."
Messages of condolence have poured in to the US from abroad.
British Prime Minister David Cameron said ''it is heartbreaking to think of those who have had their children robbed from them''.
Queen Elizabeth sent a message to Obama saying she was saddened by the ''dreadful loss of life''.
The US Ambassador to New Zealand and Samoa, David Huebner, expressed his deep condolences too.
"I am shocked and overwhelmed by this horrendous tragedy. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, and all affected by the shooting.
"I would like to thank New Zealanders for their expressions of sympathy and condolence to America on this tragic day."
In a public statement addressed to Obama, French President Francois Hollande said he was ''horrified''.
Local churches quickly organised evening memorial services to help residents cope with the trauma that shattered their illusions of safety.
"I don't think you are safe anywhere," said Lori Amaral, who lives about 400 metres from the school. She added that her college-age daughter and her friends were afraid even to go out to the vigil.
"They are afraid to go anywhere," Amaral said.
John Hess was at the airport in Cleveland morning when his wife, Patty, called him to tell him about the shooting. He immediately hopped a plane home to Newtown, where his family moved recently from nearby Stamford.
"We moved here because we thought it would be a safe community," Hess said.
Parents of children at the school for children aged 5 to 10 years gathered at a fire station down the street from the school building to await news of their children.
Helicopters hovered over the school building and scores of cars were parked on lawns up and down the street, reflecting the hurried response of police, parents and officials after the shooting took place around 9:30am local time (1.30am).
"Everybody was crying," said Alexis Wasik, 8, a third-grader who was in the school when the shooting began. "I was a little scared and felt sick to my stomach."
The attack was the deadliest mass shooting at a US school since a 2007 sniper attack at Virginia Tech left 32 people dead.
"I am still in a daze," said Alexis' mother, Lynn. "My heart is in a million pieces for the children."
Juanita Hall, a school counselor in nearby Ridgefield, whose daughter attends the school, said it would take time for the residents to recover from the shock.
"The most difficult thing is to have a conversation with the children about this. My immediate thoughts were about Columbine," Hall said, referring to a 1999 incident in which students at a Colorado high school killed 13 students and staff.
"It's going to take a very long time for this community to get over this, if it's even possible. I'm not sure it's even possible."

Nice park to walk around in or just sit on a bench and relax. Harbor views, beautiful houses on the battery, large old Oaks. We end every visit with a stroll through the park!
This is an attraction that is not going to take a lot of time, so if you are in the area enjoying the sights of Charleston,it is definitely worth making sure you wander through this park
Bit of a walk but worth it..go from the battery and white point gardens after viewing the wonderful memorials, to the charleston water front park with the historical plaques, and pineapple fountain, then stop on concord street for a drink late lunch at the Fleet Landing Bar, and then get back to the Battery in time to watch the sunset....
I loved this park! It's the perfect place to enjoy nice weather and watch the sunset over the harbor.
Great area to watch the water for dolphins and birds. Good area for kids to play. Lots of history and beautiful homes.
Great place to spend the afternoon, and close to all the historic neighborhoods and vintage homes. Romantic and beautiful.
Spent 4 days in Charleston, Battery st. and White Point Gardens a must do. A walk threw American history
A must see park at the tip of the historic Charleston peninsula. Tour bus stops here and the driver explains what you are looking at in the harbor.
I was very intrigued by all the soldier monuments. Over 300 + volleys onto Charleston in less that one year.
Years ago, we toured "the Battery," and were highly impressed. Though the history, and military armament are stunning, perhaps the highlights are the gardens (fading a bit in mid-Autumn), and the grand houses just beyond.
A stroll through the park and gardens is well-worth the time, and highly recommended - one can get a sense of the history of Charleston,...

President Judge Bowman, and Judges Crumlish, Jr., Kramer, Wilkinson, Jr., Mencer, Rogers and Blatt. Opinion By Judge Rogers.
[ 12 Pa. Commw. Page 630]
The appellants are nonresidents of the City of Philadelphia who enjoy employment within the city but refuse to file returns of or to pay the city's tax on earned income. They appeal from orders of the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County declaring absolute rules upon them to show cause why writs of
[ 12 Pa. Commw. Page 631]
capias ad respondendum should not issue and setting bail.
One of the questions raised in this appeal was based upon the alleged failure of the city to file praecipes for writs in the court below, the appellants' contention being that lawsuits may not be commenced by the filing only of petitions for rules to show cause. We examined the record certified to us, including the docket entries, and found no indication that praecipes had been filed. The Philadelphia Prothonotary's office upon our inquiry found no praecipes nor any record of praecipes having been filed. We therefore handed down an opinion and order vacating the orders below without prejudice to the city's right to commence proper actions. The city petitioned for our reconsideration, asserting that praecipes had in fact been filed but by reason of local practice had not been docketed and had been returned to the city pending allowance of the issuance of writs after hearing on the rules. We held an evidentiary hearing and, being satisfied by the evidence there presented that praecipes had indeed been presented for filing, we withdrew our order. The appeals are now before us for decision of the other questions raised by the appellants.
This controversy has a long history. The efforts of non-residents seeking, as the appellants do here, to avoid imposition on them of the city wage tax or its collection from them by capias proceedings have met with unvarying failure.*fn1 In the last of the cases, Non-Resident Taxpayers Association v. Murray, 347 F. Supp. 399 (E.D. Pa. 1972), aff'd, 410 U.S. 919 (1973),
[ 12 Pa. Commw. Page 632]
a three judge panel upheld the constitutional validity of the Pennsylvania statutes authorizing the issuance of a writ of capias ad respondendum to recover fines and penalties for failure to pay or report the tax. Undaunted, the appellants here launch a new attack on a broad front.
The Act of June 13, 1836, P.L. 568, as amended, 12 P.S. § 171 et seq., providing for capias ad respondendum is in pertinent part as follows:
"It shall be the duty of the prothonotary of any court having jurisdiction of the action, on the application of the plaintiff in any personal action, his agent or attorney, instead of the writ of summons as aforesaid, to issue a writ of capias ad respondendum, in the following form, to wit:
"The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, [L.S.] County of to the sheriff of . . . County, greeting:
"We command you that you take . . ., . . . and keep him safely until he shall have given bail. . . ." Section 3, 12 P.S. § 171.
"It shall be the duty of the officer charged with the execution of any writ of capias ad respondendum to let to bail any person arrested or detained by him by force thereof, on his giving bond. . . ." Section 9, 12 P.S. § 181.
"The bond . . . shall be . . . in the amount of the bail demanded . . . and the condition thereof shall be that if the defendant . . . shall be condemned in the action . . . he shall satisfy the condemnation money and costs . . . or, in default thereof, that the bail will do so for him, and such bond shall be for the use of the plaintiff in the action. . . ." Section 10, 12 P.S. § 182.
[ 12 Pa. Commw. Page 633]
"It shall be lawful for any court to make such rules respecting the time and manner of giving notice of bail, excepting to bail, and justifying bail, as aforesaid, taken upon process out of such court, as the convenient administration of justice in such court may require." Section 15, 12 P.S. § 186.
"It shall be lawful for the defendant in any writ of capias ad respondendum . . . to deposit . . . the sum in which the bail is demanded . . . and . . . be forthwith discharged from arrest. . . ." Section 20, 12 P.S. § 221.
"If judgment be rendered against the defendant in such action, the money deposited as aforesaid . . . shall be applied by order of the court towards satisfaction of such judgments. . . ." Section 22, 12 P.S. § 223.
"Nothing contained herein shall be taken to authorize the issuing of a capias ad respondendum against any female, for any debt contracted since February 8, 1819. . . ." Section 6, 12 P.S. § 256.
Two other statutes and a Supreme Court Rule of Civil Procedure must be referred to:
(1) By the Act of July 12, 1842, P.L. 339, § 1, 12 P.S. § 257, arrest or imprisonment in any suit founded on contract was abolished "excepting in proceedings . . . for fines or penalties. . . ."
(2) Section 1, cl. 6 of the Act of July 9, 1901, P.L. 614, 12 P.S. § 304, provides that the writ of capias ad respondendum may be served:
"(a) By arresting the defendant, other than a minor or married woman, and holding him to bail or committing him to jail for want thereof, or
"(b) If the defendant be a minor or married woman . . . then by serving the writ as in case of a summons. . . ."
(3) Pa. R.C.P. 1481 provides: "(a) Except in an action for fines and penalties, or upon a writ of ne exeat, or as punishment for contempt, a defendant may
[ 12 Pa. Commw. Page 634]
not be arrested before judgment in an action or proceeding at law or in equity."
Subsection (b) of Pa. R.C.P. 1481 in effect suspends the Act of 1836, including the sections above quoted "except insofar as they apply to actions for fines and penalties or writs of ne exeat."
The statutory provisions reproduced above and Pa. R.C.P. 1481*fn2 in combination provide that in an action for a fine or penalty any person, except a minor and a married woman, may be arrested upon the authority of a writ of capias ad respondendum and imprisoned until bail or a deposit in like amount is provided. The bail or deposit may be used to satisfy a judgment rendered against the defendant. In Murray the attack on the Pennsylvania procedure was "predicated upon a contention that the commencement of an action to recover a fine by the issuance of a writ of capias ad respondendum is violative of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and the Eighth Amendment proscription against excessive bail." 347 F. Supp. at 401. The Murray court found the exclusion of minors and married women served a reasonable state purpose and that the state and city had substantial and compelling reasons to commence an action to recover fines justifying the civil arrest of those not exempted. It held against the defendants' Eighth Amendment argument without discussion.
The Murray court also held that Rule 917 of the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County relating to practice in the issuance of such writs met due process standards. That rule is as follows:
"(c) Arrests by capias ad respondendum must be specially allowed and bail must be specially fixed by
[ 12 Pa. Commw. Page 635]
the Civil Motion Court Judge or the weekend Emergency Court Judge, after a hearing on a Petition for Rule to Show Cause, which Petition shall be filed with the praecipe for the writ in the Prothontary's Office. Service of the petition on the defendant must be accomplished either by personal service or by certified mail, in accordance with Pa. R.C.P. 233(2).
"(d) Upon the arrest of a defendant by a capias ad respondendum, if the defendant fails or refuses to post bond, he shall be brought forthwith to the Civil Motion Court Judge or the weekend Emergency Court Judge for a determination as to whether or not he shall be released without the posting of said bail."
The failure of the 12 appellants to file returns for or pay the city's wage tax have been persisted in for an average of five years and one of them is 13 years delinquent. The City's Department of Collections has made repeated demands for reports and payment. Section 19-508 of the City Code provides a fine of $300 for each offense of failing to file a return or pay the tax due, with imprisonment for 90 days if the fine and costs are not paid within ten days. The proceedings below were, as noted, commenced by praecipes for writ and petitions and rules to show cause why writs should not issue in conformity with local rule 917 above quoted. The court below conducted a hearing on the rules. The appellants appeared but refused to testify, invoking their Constitutional right against self-incrimination. Their counsel made a broad attack on the proceedings, raising questions of jurisdictional, venue, and constitutional law. The court below determined all of these questions adverse to the appellants, ordered the writs to issue and set bail in amounts ranging from $300 to $3000, depending on the number of violations indicated.
The appellants here attack the proceedings below, rule 917 and the statutes authorizing the writ. Despite
[ 12 Pa. Commw. Page 636]
the holding of Non-Resident Taxpayers Association v. Murray, supra, renewed attacks are made founded upon alleged lack of due process, denial of equal protection and on the Eighth Amendment's proscription of excessive bail. The Murray court disposed of these questions and its discussion does not require fortification by us. We will consider, however, those questions raised which seem to be new.
The appellants argue that the promulgation by the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia of Rule 917, quoted above, which the Murray court found to satisfy due process was ultra vires its statutory and constitutional power. Section 15 of the Act of June 13, 1836, 12 P.S. § 186, hereinbefore reproduced, empowers any court to make rules respecting the time and manner of giving notice of bail. We do not read this, as do appellants, as implying that the courts may not make rules concerning capias generally. Further, Section 2 of the Act of June 21, 1937, P.L. 1982, 17 P.S. § 62 confers upon the common pleas court the power to adopt "additional rules for the conduct of its business, which shall not be inconsistent with or in conflict with said general rules prescribed by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania." The appellants have referred us to no rule of the Supreme Court which conflicts with 917. The Philadelphia rule, as Murray holds, provides due process and assists the orderly administration of justice, an objective of all rules. In addition, the rule gave new instructions to the Prothonotary, authority for which can be found in Section 23 of the Act of April 14, 1834, P.L. 333, 17 P.S. § 1483, providing that the Prothonotary shall perform all duties pertaining to his office under the direction of the court.
The appellants next assert that only the Supreme Court is empowered to prescribe the forms of action. Certainly the Supreme Court might, pursuant to the Act of June 1, 1937, P.L. 1982, 17 P.S. § 61 et seq.,
[ 12 Pa. Commw. Page 637]
preempt the matter of procedure in capias actions. But it has not done so. Pa. R.C.P. 1481, previously referred to only restricts the use of the writ to actions for fines and penalties and ne exeat. The promulgation of Rule 917 to ensure due process in the issuance of capias writs out of the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas was clearly within that court's power.
The appellants next contention is that the court below erred in treating the petitions and rules to show cause as original process. This argument seems to have been based upon the appellants' belief that no praecipes had been filed below. As we have noted, the evidentiary hearing conducted by us, revealed that praecipes had been filed. The actions were therefore commenced by praecipes and the petitions and rules were proper auxiliary process. The statute,*fn3 local Rule 917 and Pa. R.C.P. 1007, all provide that an action may be commenced, as it was here, by praecipe.
The appellants further contend that their right not to be witnesses against themselves ensured by the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution were violated in the proceedings below. In Philadelphia v. Cline, 158 Pa. Superior Ct. 179, 44 A.2d 610 (1945), it was held that at the trial of an action to recover penalties for failure to file returns of the city income tax commenced by capias ad respondendum, the defendants might take advantage of their constitutional privilege to refuse to give evidence against themselves and that no adverse inference might be drawn from their refusal. The instant defendants invoked their privilege to remain silent at the hearing required by Rule 917. They complain that the court's allowance of the issuance of the writs based upon the petition and attached current tax billings constituted an adverse inference based upon their failure to answer the petition.
[ 12 Pa. Commw. Page 638]
The proceedings below were not trials of the actions but a hearing provided for the purpose of affording the defendants an opportunity to show cause why they should not be required to post bail. The defendants' silence was not taken as an admission by them of any incriminating evidence. No constitutional privilege was withheld by the court's observation that their silence provided no reason why the court should not grant the city's rule.
The final question raised by the appellants, not disposed of by Murray, is based upon Article I, Section 28 of the State Constitution adopted May 18, 1971 and providing that "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania because of the sex of the individual." The Act of 1836 in combination with Pa. R.C.P. 1481 provide that all persons may be subject to capias ad respondendum, except minors and married women.*fn4 The appellants contend that the equality of rights of such of them as are married men are denied by the exemption of married women. The facts that single women are subject to the process complained of and that married women were probably exempted by reason of their usual responsibility for children, are some foundation for an argument that the discrimination here complained of is related not to sex but to familial
[ 12 Pa. Commw. Page 639]
status. The Supreme Court of the United States has held that state legislation according persons different treatment on the basis of sex where sex bears no relationship to the object of the legislation denies equal protection. Reed v. Reed, 404 U.S. 71 (1971). Conversely, if there is such a relationship, as Murray held with regard to the legislation here under consideration, there is no denial of equal protection. Did the people intend by Article I, Section 28 to do more than provide that equality of rights may not be denied or abridged on account of sex where sex bears no rational relationship to the object of the legislation; or did they intend that sex, like race and color, should be a wholly impermissible basis for state regulation? We are inclined to believe that they meant more than the former and less than the latter. The key lies in the provision's concluding phrase, "because of the sex of the individual." The genius of Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence, and in particular of the American branch, is its pragmatism -- in its practice of finding the meaning of precepts by applying them to the facts of actual cases involving individuals. Does the exemption of a childless married woman from attachment by capias ad respondendum for fines deny equality of right to a non-exempt man with dependent children because of his sex? It seems to us that it does and that the exemption, although it passes the test of equal protection, fails that of Article I, Section 28. It seems equally clear that an exemption of persons regardless of sex having familial responsibilities would adequately serve the Legislature's purpose sought by exempting married women.
The conclusion that the exemption of married women from capias ad respondendum offends Article I, Section 28 does not require us to hold that the capias ad respondendum legislation is wholly invalid. To the contrary, the rule is that the unconstitutionality of part of an act will not defeat other provisions unless
[ 12 Pa. Commw. Page 640]
it is evident that the legislature would not have enacted those provisions which are valid independent of the part which is not. If it is not so evident, only the invalid part falls. United States v. Jackson, 390 U.S. 570 (1968). As the Statutory Construction Act of 1972, 1 Pa. S. § 1925 provides: "The provisions of every statute shall be severable. If any provision of any statute or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of the statute, and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances, shall not be affected thereby, unless the court finds that the valid provisions of the statutes are so essentially and inseparably connected with, and so depend upon, the void provision or application, that it cannot be presumed the General Assembly would have enacted the remaining valid provisions without the void one; or unless the court finds that the remaining valid provisions, standing alone, are incomplete and are incapable of being executed in accordance with the legislative intent." The Act of July 9, 1901, 12 P.S. § 304, reads that the writ may be served (a) By arresting the defendant, other than . . . a married woman, and holding him to bail. . . ." Hence, the exemption is physically set off and modifies the all inclusive term "defendant" and its excision does not leave a meaningless remainder. In addition, the Act of 1901 is an appendage only to the comprehensive procedures of the Act of 1836 which we have quoted at the beginning of this discussion. We cannot find that the valid provisions of the acts governing capias ad respondendum in Pennsylvania are so connected with the exemption that we are unable to presume that the General Assembly would have enacted the valid provisions. Indeed, in fact it did, some years before the exemption was added. Obviously, that which remains -- the authority to attach upon capias ad respondendum all persons, except minors -- is complete and capable of
[ 12 Pa. Commw. Page 641]
being executed in accordance with the legislative intent. We add to this discussion of whether the Legislature would intend that the exemption of married women should fall or the writ of capias ad respondendum in actions for fines be invalidated entirely, the consideration that the state income tax, which many believed was the alternative to state bankruptcy, is imposed upon the income of nonresidents of the Commonwealth and provides fines for evasion. The Tax Reform Code of 1971, Act of March 4, 1971, P.L. 6, 72 P.S. §§ 7308, 7353.
We have, we believe, considered all of the appellants' numerous questions. To summarize: we have concluded that the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas was empowered to adopt its Rule 917 relating to capias ad respondendum; that Philadelphia Rule 917 and the hearings conducted below offered the appellants due process incident to the allowance of the issuance of writs of capias ad respondendum; that the bail set, based upon the number of apparent offenses and the possible fines, was not excessive and did not violate Eighth Amendment guarantees; that the appellants' rights to equal protection were not violated by the exemption of married women; that the exemption does, however, offend Article I, Section 27 of the State Constitution; that the exemption of married women provided by the Act of July 9, 1901, 12 P.S. § 304, is not so connected with the remainder of the capias ad respondendum statutes that it cannot be presumed that the latter would not have been enacted by the General Assembly without the exemption; that the capias statutes should not be stricken in their entirety; and finally, that the orders of the court below should be, and they are,

ALFREDO HUERTA, PLAINTIFF,v.VILLAGE OF CAROL STREAM, OFFICER CAMILLO INCROCCI, OFFICER PETER SPIZZIRI, OFFICER BRIAN COOPER, VILLAGE OF GLENDALE HEIGHTS, UNKNOWN GLENDALE HEIGHTS POLICE OFFICER, DEFENDANTS.
CHARLES P. KOCORAS, District Judge
This matter comes before the court on the motion of Defendants Camillo Incrocci, Peter Spizziri, and Brian Cooper*fn1 for summary judgment in their favor on Count I of the nine-count amended complaint of Plaintiff Alfredo Huerta. For the reasons set forth below, the motion is granted.
On March 10, 2008, Incrocci, Spizziri, and Cooper (all police officers with Defendant Village of Carol Stream) arrived at Huerta's home in response to a report of domestic disturbance. According to the police report authored by Incrocci, the three officers first met Huerta in the parking lot outside his apartment building. During this initial encounter, Huerta and two others told the officers that a man named Ivan, who was in Huerta's apartment, had been violent with its occupants that night. Huerta told the officers that they should go inside and that he would let them into the apartment. He accompanied them into the building and through the front door, which his wife opened.
When Incrocci entered, he saw a door to one of two rooms in the back of the apartment close. He went to the door and attempted to open it, but it was locked. Incrocci then began knocking on the door and demanding that the occupants open it. At that point, Huerta approached Incrocci, grabbed his arm, and told him that he hadn't given permission for the officers to go into that part of the apartment. Incrocci extricated himself from Huerta's grip and instructed Huerta not to touch him. A woman then came out of one of the bedrooms and went into the other bedroom; when she did so Incrocci saw several children in the room she entered. Despite Incrocci's previous admonition, Huerta again took hold of Incrocci's arm. Incrocci pushed Huerta up against a wall and told him that he was under arrest.
Incrocci had difficulty placing Huerta under arrest because he refused to turn around or place his hands behind his back when Incrocci instructed him to do so and physically struggled with Incrocci and Spizziri. At some point after Incrocci initially told Huerta he was under arrest, Huerta hit Incrocci in the chest with his body, though no description of that event is included in the police report. Eventually, Huerta was taken into custody and charged with two counts of aggravated battery to a police officer and one count of resisting a peace officer.
Huerta filed the instant suit on March 9, 2009, and amended his complaint on June 16, 2009. The amended complaint consists of nine counts. The first count is a claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for false arrest. In it, Huerta alleges that during the incident on March 10, 2008, the officers arrested him without probable cause to do so for crimes he did not commit, specifically aggravated battery to a police officer and resisting arrest.
On September 2, 2009, Huerta pled guilty in Illinois state court to a misdemeanor criminal charge of making contact of an insulting or provoking nature with Incrocci by shoving his body into Incrocci's chest. His attorney stipulated at the change of plea hearing that Incrocci would provide testimony consistent with the amended indictment,*fn2 but Huerta refused to agree with any of the facts set forth by Incrocci that were not presented in the amended indictment. He was sentenced to one year of court supervision.
Though discovery had not yet closed in the instant case, on December 11, 2009, Incrocci, Spizziri, and Cooper moved for summary judgment in their favor on Count I of Huerta's complaint.
Summary judgment is appropriate when "the pleadings, the discovery and disclosure materials on file, and any affidavits show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the movant in entitled to summary judgment as a matter of law." Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c). A genuine issue of material fact exists when the evidence is such that a reasonable jury could find for the non-movant. Buscaglia v. United States, 25 F.3d 530, 534 (7th Cir. 1994). The movant in a motion for summary judgment bears the burden of demonstrating the absence of a genuine issue of material fact by specific citation to the record; if the party succeeds in doing so, the burden shifts to the non-movant to set forth specific facts showing that there is a genuine issue of fact for trial. Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(e); Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 325, 106 S.Ct. 2548, 2554 (1986). In considering motions for summary judgment, a court construes all facts and draws all inferences from the record in favor of the nonmoving party. Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 255, 106 S.Ct. 2505, 2513 (1986).
With these principles in mind, we turn to the motion at hand.
A claim for liability under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 consists of two elements:
1) a deprivation of a right guaranteed by the laws or Constitution of the United States, and
2) a person or persons acting under color of state law causing said deprivation. Reynolds v. Jamison, 488 F.3d 756, 764 (7th Cir. 2007).
As on-duty police officers, Incrocci, Spizziri, and Cooper were persons acting under color of state law; that portion of Huerta's claim is not at issue. Rather, the parties direct their arguments to whether Huerta was deprived of his Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable seizure, i.e. arrested without probable cause that he was engaging in criminal behavior. See id. at 765. Probable cause is present if, at the time an officer made the decision to arrest, the facts and circumstances the officer knew were sufficient to lead a reasonable person to believe that the arrestee was committing an offense. Beck v. Ohio, 379 U.S. 89, 91 (1964).
The officers contend that Huerta's guilty plea eliminates any argument that probable cause was not present when he was arrested and therefore entitles them to summary judgment on Count I. They rely upon the rule set forth in Heck v. Humphrey that a § 1983 litigant cannot invalidate an otherwise valid criminal conviction or sentence through the civil tort proceeding. 512 U.S. 477, 487 (1994). According to the officers, Huerta "cannot argue that he was falsely arrested for his actions on March 10, 2008 in light of his guilty plea for the very same conduct." Defs.' Memo. in Supp. of Mtn. for Summ. Jgmt., at 2. However, as Huerta points out and supports by reference to Incrocci's police report, the conduct for which he was arrested was not the conduct to which he pled guilty and which forms the basis of his valid criminal conviction. The battery that Huerta admitted committing took place after Incrocci had already arrested him. It could not have been part of the facts and circumstances known to Incrocci at the time of Huerta's arrest such that it could have formed part of his decision that probable cause to arrest existed. See Beck, 379 U.S. at 91. Consequently, a conclusion that the original arrest ran afoul of the Fourth Amendment would not undermine the validity of Huerta's conviction for battering Incrocci after the arrest was made. Under the principles enunciated in Heck and reinforced by the Seventh Circuit in VanGilder v. Baker, a § 1983 plaintiff does not need to prove the absence of any valid conviction resulting from a run-in with police, only that no valid conviction that would be irreconcilable with his or her civil claims exists. 435 F.3d 689, 692 (7th Cir. 2006). Thus, the guilty plea in this particular case does not affect Huerta's ability to pursue a claim under § 1983 for false arrest.
However, that conclusion is not the end of the inquiry because, in defending against the instant motion, Huerta proffered the police report authored by Incrocci and referred to above. The contents of the report are germane to the question presented in the motion of whether there was probable cause to arrest Huerta. The report is admissible as evidence under Fed. R. Evid. 803(8) as a public record or report. It is not being used in a criminal case, and, in its material usage, it reflects Incrocci's own observations, which he can otherwise testify to or supply an affidavit for. It does not reflect or contain a lack of indicia of reliability, and though Huerta proffered it for a purpose other than to establish what occurred on March 10, 2008, he has made no arguments against its use in its entirety. Huerta's attempts to limit its usage are ineffectual. Consequently, we find that any such arguments are forfeited.
The Illinois Criminal Code defines the offense of aggravated battery as including intentionally making physical contact of an insulting or provoking nature with a person whom the offender knows to be a peace officer in order to prevent the officer from performing official duties. 720 ILCS 5/12-3, 5/12-4. The offense of resisting or obstructing a peace officer is committed if a person knowingly resists or obstructs the performance of any authorized act by a known peace officer. 720 ILCS 5/31-1. The contents of the police report describe Huerta as meeting Incrocci under circumstances such that he would have known that Incrocci was a police officer. Incrocci was performing his official duties of investigating an incident where the safety of several people was potentially threatened. While Incrocci was carrying out his duties, Huerta twice grabbed his arm to prevent him from proceeding with the investigation. When Incrocci was attempting to arrest Huerta, Huerta refused to turn around or place his hands behind his back and instead struggled with Incrocci and Spizziri. From this description, a reasonable person would believe that Huerta was engaging in conduct that would constitute aggravated battery and resisting or obstructing a peace officer as defined in the Illinois Criminal Code. Huerta offers no evidence of a contrary account of the events of the night of March 10, 2008, by affidavit or other source. In the absence of a competing story, there is no issue of fact presented that would require resolution by a jury. Based on the contents of the police report, we conclude that probable cause existed for the arrest, making Incrocci's actions consistent with the Fourth Amendment and warranting summary judgment in favor of the officers on the § 1983 claim set forth in Count I of Huerta's amended complaint.
Based on the foregoing analysis, the motion for summary judgment on Count I of the amended complaint [36] is granted

Beware of the Clippers, Part II
Los Angeles – Maybe it shouldn't be any great shock that the Milwaukee Bucks ventured into the Staples Center Saturday night and were handed a 101-92 defeat by the Los Angeles Clippers.
Just take a look back at how the Bucks season has gone so far.
"This was getting old a long, long time ago," said forward Richard Jefferson who led the Bucks with 26 points. "The Minnesota loss was a joke. The Philly loss at home was a joke. We've had a bunch of losses this year where we just didn't do the (stuff) we were supposed to.
"So now, are we surprised that we came here and didn't do the (stuff) that we were supposed to and now we've got a loss? No. That's just the way we've been playing."
The Bucks saw their record fall to 20-23 and, coming off a victory the night before in Sacramento, once again failed to put together consecutive victories for the first time in nearly a month.
The Bucks shot 38.8%, were pounded on the boards, and bullied in the paint where the Clippers out-scored the Bucks, 48-22. Forward Marcus Camby and center Brian Skinner scored 18 points each for the Clippers who broke a 12-game losing streak and won for the fourth time in 20 games at home. Camby left the game early in the fourth quarter with a sprained ankle.
"We just got owned in the paint," said coach Scott Skiles. "Skinner and Camby just had their way with us. They were just going right to the basket and we couldn't even make them shoot from the perimeter. They were killing us down low. We were real soft down there."
The Clippers took it to the Bucks from the opening tip as they made 13 of their first 16 shots (81.3%). The Clippers led by two after one quarter and the Bucks led by one at halftime.
"The only thing that was really keeping us in the game in the first half was our three-point shooting," said Skiles. "We were 6 for 12, and they were 0 for 4. They were dominating us in points in the paint, second-chance points, fast-break points, on the glass…so the stat sheet was totally in their favor. We were just making some threes. Then in the second half we weren't making threes and it got away from us."
It got away from the Bucks at the start of the fourth quarter when the Clippers scored the first eight points to take an 85-76 lead, their biggest of the game to that point. A jumper by Ricky Davis started that run and was followed by a three-pointer by Steve Novak, a free throw by Al Thornton, and a layup by Mardy Collins .
The Clippers later extended to lead to 92-81 with 5:22 left after a three-pointer by Davis and a jumper by Novak. The Bucks got no closer than five after that.
"The score was deceptive," said Skiles. "They dominated so much inside that eventually that's going to catch up to you. Unless we just got blistering hot or something, like we were in the first quarter last night, if you keep counting on that, it's going to burn you. Tonight it burned us."
Any satisfaction gained from the victory in Sacramento had been erased after this one.
"As much as I thought it was a great win for us (in Sacramento), tonight is a bad loss for us," said guard Michael Redd who scored 21 points. "That cancels last night out, in my eyes. We have to continue to keep growing and get better.
The victory was like a breath of fresh air for the Clippers.
"I'm really pleased with the way our guys responded tonight," said coach Mike Dunleavy. "A lot of great contributions. We got a nice low-post game from Brian Skinner and the guys moved the ball well. We had six guys in double figures. Hopefully, it's something we can build on."

Green Plate Special
Volunteer with us
About us
Green Plate Special's (GPS) mission is to inspire and empower youth to experience food in new ways through growing, cooking, and eating together. Our goals are to empower low-income, urban youth to gain self-sufficiency by: tending food from seed through harvest; gaining cooking skills combining nutritional knowledge with cultural traditions; and taking the first steps towards life-long, healthy eating. By using common, inexpensive foods to make healthy meals, we help youth break the link between poverty and obesity.
Founded in 2011, the Green Plate Special garden was started on the corner of Martin Luther King Jr. Way and E. Union Street in the Central District of Seattle. We began working with youth in our garden, and held cooking classes in the kitchen of Madrona Presbyterian Church. In fall of 2013 Green Plate Special moved to our new and permanent site in Rainier Valley at 2115 25th Ave S, which includes a kitchen classroom adjoining our garden, giving us the capacity to provide more programming and engage more youth every year.
We engage ethnically diverse (predominantly African American), middle school youth (ages 10 – 14) in hands-on gardening (seeds to compost) in our teaching garden, and then cook, and taste healthy foods in our teaching kitchen. In addition to giving youth nutritional knowledge and an understanding of how to prepare healthy meals, we make a point of sending fresh produce home with youth to share with their families.

The Story
The nickname "Old Glory" for that unmistakable banner of stars and stripes originates from a single fabled flag that was first hoisted on the 19th century ship "Charles Doggett." After newly appointed master mariner William Driver was named commander of Doggett, his mother did what we imagine any proud and doting mother would in 1824: She organized a number of local women to create a memento of home for her boy. And thus they fabricated a flag, complete with 24 stars, one for each state in the Union, which would fly from his ship's mast.
From the coasts of China through the strait of Gibraltar and across the endless oceans, Driver revered the flag as his, "staunch companion and protection." After retiring from merchant seafaring, he raised the flag in his new, landlocked Nashville home, only for Tennessee to secede from the Union shortly thereafter. With his own sons joining the Confederacy, the flag quickly became a point of conflict and liability. In order to protect it from desecration and destruction, Driver, with the help of Union loyalist women, sewed it into a coverlet. It wasn't until Nashville fell to the Union's Sixth Ohio troops that "Old Glory" was finally uncovered and hoisted again. Pay homage.

I am Lucy. My brother Ricky and I were adopted as babies. For some reason our people had to move in with people with allergies, so we were surrendered. We are so super sweet! We love to lay next to you and purr. We are also playful! Our foster mom would like us to go together but we are not super bonded so we can go separately as well. We are up to date on our vaccinations and really healthy!
Thanks for looking at me!

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Ohio has indicated that it will sue if two anti-abortion bills, both of which have passed the state House, become law: a fetal heart beat bill, which would ban abortions after the fetal heartbeat is detected, and another bill that would prohibit Ohio residents from purchasing health insurance that covers abortion.
Gary Daniels, associate director of ACLU Ohio, stated that he believes both bills are unconstitutional. He remarked, "It's quite clear that these bills are going to pass and be signed into law. And like we've always done, we will be there in courts to defend the reproductive rights of Ohio's women. We will sue."
The heartbeat bill would ban abortions as early as 6 weeks following conception, before many women are even aware they are pregnant, and includes no exceptions for rape or incest. If passed by the Republican controlled-state Senate and signed by the Governor, the law would directly challenge the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision, which allows women to obtain abortion services until fetal viability at 22-24 weeks .
Daniels believes also that the second bill violates the Affordable Care Act, which states that "no federal, state, or local law or rule shall prohibit the purchase or sale" of health insurance.
