Harold Edwards
Thanks, John. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us. On today's call, I'll begin with a brief overview of some financial highlights for the quarter and provide an update on our progress across all of our different business areas. Joe will review the financial results for the first quarter in more detail, and I'll then discuss our 2014 outlook and open the call up for your questions.
We are pleased to report a solid start to fiscal year 2014. Our financial results, which reflect the anticipated seasonality of the first quarter, show strong improvements in both revenue and operating income as compared to last year, primarily driven by higher lemon sales.
We generated sales of $25.9 million, which is 49% increase compared to the first quarter of last year. Our operating results improved $1.9 million versus the prior-year period. This improvement was driven by a number of factors, including our acquisition last year of Associated Citrus Packers in Yuma, Arizona, which mitigated a portion of the seasonality of our business and contributed approximately $2 million to operating income in the first quarter.
This underscores our ability to successfully integrate acquired orchards into our operations, and gives us confidence as we continue evaluate additional opportunities to strategically expand our agribusiness acres going forward. Based on our year-to-date results and positive outlook for the remainder of the year, we are reiterating our previously issued guidance, which I'll review later during today's call. We are excited about the momentum for Limoneira and continue to make progress on all aspects of our business.
First, regarding our agribusiness. We expect to benefit from the additional 2,300 agricultural acres that we acquired or leased last fiscal year [Technical Difficulty] expansion of our lemon packing facilities. The project is expected to increase the efficiency of our packing facilities and once completed, our annual lemon capacity is estimated to be approximately twice of what it is today. We anticipate the facility will be completed in fiscal year 2015.
Over the past couple of years, our sales team has done a tremendous job of steadily increasing our base of direct lemon customers. This combined with our expanding acreage and increased packing capacity should enable us to generate increasing sales and operating income from lemon sales for many years to come.
I would like to take a moment to address the weather conditions in our key market. As many of you are aware, California has been experiencing one of the most severe droughts on record. Rainfall, snow levels and water content or snowpack are significantly below historical averages. These conditions have resulted in reduced water levels in streams, rivers, lakes, aquifers and reservoirs. The Governor of California declared drought state of emergency in February of 2014.
Limoneira is extremely fortunate and that the drought has not had a material impact on our operations. Water for our farming operations, located in Ventura County, California, is secured from the existing water resources associated with our land, which includes approximately 8,600 acre feet of adjudicated water rights in the Santa Paula Basin and the unadjudicated Fillmore Basin.
We use a combination of ground water provided by wells and water from various local water districts in Tulare County, California, which is in the agriculturally productive San Joaquin Valley. Our associated farming operations in Yuma, Arizona, sources water from the Colorado River to the Yuma Mesa Irrigation and Drainage ditch, where we have access to approximately 11,700 acre feet of Class 3 Colorado River water rights.
For the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, irrigation cost for our agricultural operations were just 100,000 greater than the first quarter of last year, resulting from pumping more water from wells and basins due to less rainfall. We expect this trend to continue, as we pump more water than historical averages, as demand from limited water supplies increases the cost for such supplies and federal state and local water delivery infrastructure cost increased to access these limited water supplies.
In challenging conditions such as these, it is beneficial that we have significant water rights across our agribusiness operations. We believe we have access to adequate supplies of water for our agricultural operations as well as our real estate development and rental operation segments of our business. And unless drought conditions persist or worsen, we currently do not anticipate that California drought will have a material impact on our operating results.
Turning to the rental segment of our business. We remain on track with the development of 71 additional agricultural workforce housing units in Santa Paula, California, that will be available for rent to local agricultural workers and Limoneira employees towards the end of fiscal year 2014.
We anticipate this will add another $850,000 to $900,000 to our annual rental business. Our rental business is a steady and predictable revenue stream that provides us with a dependable source of annual cash flow as well as the unique ability to offer housing to agricultural workers and to our employees.
Now, turning to our real estate development business. We continue to make progress on breaking ground on East Area 1. As a reminder, East Area 1 and 2 consist of 550 acres of master plan community of residential units, commercial and light industrial properties, comprising up to 1,500 residential units, 560,000 square feet of commercial space and 150,000 square feet of light industrial space. We estimate that the residential component represents approximately 25% of all single-family homes, town homes and condominiums that are currently planned or approved in Ventura County over the next 10 years.
We are committed to entering into a deal with a reputable builder or builders that will optimize the success, cash flow and profitability of the project and ultimately maximize shareholder value. We continue to engage in discussions with leading homebuilders and remain focused on our goal to break down on the project and begin selling homes during fiscal year 2015. In the meantime, we are currently processing tract maps with the city of Santa Paula and are pleased with the progress-to-date we have made on the rock remediation for East Area 1, which we began earlier this calendar year.
Our expanding agribusiness combined with the progress we are making with our real estate development efforts make this a very exciting time for Limoneira. We remain focused on our previously stated goals of continuing to capitalize on opportunities to monetize our rich portfolio of assets and strategically investing in our agribusiness. We continue to see a healthy pipeline of potential agribusiness acquisition opportunities.
With that, I'd like to turn the call over to Joe, to discuss our first quarter financial results.
Joseph Rumley
Thank you, Harold. Good afternoon, everyone. For the first quarter ended January 31, 2014, revenue was $25.9 million compared to revenue of $17.4 million in the first quarter of the previous year. Agribusiness revenue was $24.7 million compared to $16.3 million in the first quarter last year, primarily reflecting higher lemon revenue.
Rental operations revenue was $1.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 compared to $1 million in the first quarter of last year. Real estate development revenue was $44,000 compared to $48,000 in the first quarter of last year.
Our first quarter 2014 agribusiness revenue includes $20.9 million in lemon sales compared to $14 million in lemon sales during the same period of fiscal year 2013, which reflects a higher average price per carton due to more favorable market conditions, partially offset by a lower number of cartons of fresh lemon sold. As anticipated due to the typical seasonality of the avocado crop, we did not record significant avocado sales in the first quarter.
We recognized $1.9 million of orange revenue in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $1.4 million of orange revenue in the same period of last year. This increase reflects a higher average price per field box, partially offset by a lower number of field boxes sold. Specialty, citrus and other crop revenues were $1.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal '14 compared to $0.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, resulting from higher prices and sales volume.
Turning to cost and expenses for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, we incurred $28.1 million of cost and expenses as compared to $22.7 million in the first quarter of last year. The year-over-year increase in operating expenses primarily reflects increased agribusiness cost associated with our growing agribusiness, including the acquisition of Associated Citrus Packers and Lemons 400.
Operating loss for the first quarter of 2014 was $2.2 million compared to $5.3 million loss in the first quarter of last year. Associated Citrus Packers earned approximately $2 million of operating income in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014. EBITDA was a loss of $1.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 compared to a loss of $4.4 million in the same period of last year.
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, all interest incurred was capitalized on non-bearing orchards, real estate development projects and significant construction in progress. In the first quarter of fiscal year '13, interest expense was $0.1 million.
Non-cash interest income as a result of fair value adjustments on our interest rate swap was zero in the first quarter of fiscal year '14 compared to $0.2 million in the same period of last year. The interest rate swap that generated the income in the prior periods expired in the third quarter of fiscal year 2013.
Net loss applicable to common stock, after preferred dividends, for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 was $1.3 million compared to $3.2 million in the first quarter of the prior year.
Loss per diluted share for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 was $0.09 on approximately 14 million weighted average diluted common shares outstanding compared to a per diluted share loss of $0.28 on approximately 11.2 million weighted average diluted common shares outstanding in the same period last year. The year-over-year increase in shares outstanding is due to the February 2013 public offering of common stock and the stock issued in acquisition of Associated.
Turning to our balance sheet. We ended the first quarter with working capital of $2.6 million. Long-term debt as of January 31, 2014, was $71.3 million compared to $61.6 million at October 31, 2013, our yearend. The increase in long-term debt was primarily due to typical seasonality of our business and expenditures on strategic initiatives such as the expansion of our lemon packing facilities and construction of additional farm worker housing units.
Now, I'd like to turn the call back to Harold to discuss our fiscal year 2014 guidance.
Harold Edwards
Thanks Joe. Based on our first quarter results and outlook for the reminder of the year, we are reiterating our previously issued guidance. For the second quarters of fiscal year 2014, we expect to realize incremental revenue and earnings resulting from the acquisitions of Lemons 400. For the fiscal year ending October 31, 2014, we expect to sell between 3 million and 3.3 million cartons of fresh lemons and expect to sell approximately 6 million to 7 million pounds of avocados.
The California avocado crop typically experiences alternate bearing years of high and low production due to plant physiology. Fiscal year 2013 was a high avocado production year and fiscal year 2014 is expected to be a lower avocado production year. Lemon and avocado prices are expected to be higher in fiscal year 2014 than fiscal year 2013 due to lower industry production.
We expect to earn approximately $7 million in operating income in fiscal year 2014, representing approximately a 30% increase over fiscal year 2013 operating income of $5.3 million. The expected increase in operating income is primarily due to the additional lemon revenues to be generated by the acquisitions of Associated and Lemons 400, partially offset by lower expected avocado revenues.
Fiscal year 2014 pre-tax earnings are anticipated to be similar to fiscal year 2013, as $1.3 million of earnings from asset sales and $700,000 in interest rate swap income realized in fiscal year 2013 are not expected to recur in fiscal year '14. We began fiscal year 2014 with approximately 2,300 additional agricultural acres, representing a 30% increase compared to the beginning of fiscal year 2013.
And with that, I'd like to now open the call up for your questions, operator?
Question-and-Answer Session
(Operator Instructions) And at this time, we'll take a question from Jon Feeney with Janney.
Jon Feeney - Janney
I really just had one question, you added 2,300 acres, in terms of how do you balance, do you think -- I think it was a long-term plan about getting the capital and potential returns you have invested back from East Area 1 and your total potential acquisition plans? And maybe things at East Area 1 are taking a little longer, have you slowed those acquisitions plan down or how many acres would you like to acquire in the next 12 or 18 months to facilitate your long-term plans to maintain lemon production and realizing value from development project?
Harold Edwards
The opportunity to acquire these citrus farms is something that we're spending quite a bit of time, turning over rocks, if you will, and cultivating or nurturing some of these deals. These are typically characterized by, in many cases, generational family farms that might be lacking succession. And as such, they take a long time, our experience suggest that they take a long time to not only nurture, but then to structure a relationship or ultimately a transaction.
So I would say, we continue to be very active in the cultivation of our acquisition pipeline. We continue to work with a number of potentially interested sellers. And then, at the same time, we're constantly trying to take into consideration the profile of the acreage. And by that I mean, where the acres are and as such the seasonality of the crops that are produced in these given areas.
So while we go through the normal course of due diligence and sort of assurances to our internal management team and ultimately to our board that all deployment of capital will come across in an accretive way. We are also then trying to blend that acreage and the production into a 365-day supply chain in a way that make sense for our customers.
And so that's why the acquisition of Associated Citrus was so valuable, because it brought lemons into our year round supply chain, where before we really never had any. And the same holds true with Lemons 400, it complemented our growing opportunity to bring more winter lemons into our supply chain as well.
So in terms of your question is how many of these deals would we like to do? Well, we'd like to do as many as we could possibly do to facilitate our march towards ultimately achieving our goal of increasing our annual supply up to 10 million cartons. So as I reported earlier, we're about 3.3 million cartons, so we've got a long ways to go and we will continue to turn over rocks and cultivate that acquisition pipeline.
Jon Feeney - Janney
And just one other, while I have you, while there's been some rain, thank God, recently, that puts a lot of attention on the drought and there has been a lot of attention historically I think that you've brought to your water assets. And I guess I wanted you to comment if you could about, the impacts of the drought in the marketplace, if any on lemon prices and some of the other fruits that you sell? But also longer-term, has anything changed about the potential asset value there, interested parties, et cetera, due to the attention that came from the drought on the value of owning water rights?
Harold Edwards
Two great question there. To address the first question about any of the supply related impacts of the drought affecting pricing. If you recall earlier in the year, we sustained and actually the entire industry sustained significant cold temperatures and frost and even freezes throughout California. And as such, we reported earlier is that the impact of the freeze on our lemon crop as an industry affected the total crop by about 10% and for the oranges by about 25% of total production was damaged by those freezes.
So it really has been the freeze impact, the impact of the cold weather that has had the material impact on pricing in the marketplace. In terms of actual supplies, we'll probably see about a 10% reduction in industry lemon supply this year and maybe 25% reduction of orange suppliers. But today we're seeing a material improvement or increase in the prices we're receiving for the products somewhere in the magnitude of 25% to 30%, where we thought we would be at this time in the year. So that's been very helpful for us.
At this time we'll take a question from Steven Martin with Slater.
Steven Martin - Slater
Could you talk about, there has been some concern about the housing market in certain areas of the country. Can you talk about the pricing of land in Ventura County and Santa Paula in this interim period, while we've been waiting?
Harold Edwards
Sure. Well, I can't say that Santa Paula and Ventura County is completely immune to the ups and down cycles of the overall real estate market in general. But what I can tell you is that, as a result of the rigorous regulatory environment and just how long it takes to process tract maps and to gain entitlements of otherwise used land, the economics are somewhat skewed in that.
Fundamentally, Ventura County exist in a demand exceeds supply condition for housing, both multifamily rental and multifamily for-sale and single-family for-sale housing as well. And so as such, since we've gained the entitlement, we continue to benefit from that sort of disparity between demand and supply that we're seeing, rapid appreciation in home prices.
Now, as of recent, we've seen those slow a little bit. But I would say that just like we've been reading all across the country, the pricing has been somewhat volatile, where one month you'll see it slow and then the next month it will spike way up. So I think it's really too early to identifying any significant trends of price appreciation slowing down on a permanent basis or even seeing demand for housing slowing on a material basis.
So as such, we remain really bullish on our position and we think what we're experiencing is a much more normal appetite for new housing starts around the state. And as those housing starts in Ventura County and specifically in our project East Area 1 begin to be realized, we're very optimistic and bullish on the potential to see that inventory absorb.
Seeing no further questions in the queue, I'll turn things back over to Harold Edwards for any additional or closing remarks.
Harold Edwards
Great. Thank you very much. And thank you for your questions and interest in Limoneira. We'll be presenting at the ROTH Investor Conference tomorrow and over the next several months we'll be attending select investor events, and we hope to see many of you there. Thank you, again. And have a great day.
And again, this does conclude today's conference call. Thank you all for your participation. You may now disconnect.

Made a "test" batch of this last night (I wanted to serve it Thursday) it was awesome!!! Easy and yummy! I used chicken stock as one of my guests does not want even cooked alcohol in their food. I think I will post a sign that says "Caution: objects in this tray are richer than they appear!"
How delightfully different! I've been wanting to try a recipe using hard boiled eggs, and am so glad this was the one I chose. The only change I might think about is using just a tad more cheese. And such a good way to use up some of those Easter eggs! Thnx for sharing your recipe, weekend cooker. Made for PRMR tag game.

How much does basement waterproofing cost in TX?
There are several approaches to keep water from your basement or remove what gets in. The most expensive, in addition to the best, can require substantial excavation, our research workers learned in selecting highly graded companies and home-owners.
Interior-based water proofing methods, commonly called unfavorable facet projects, involve moving away water that's within the home. Repairing a water issue in the interior may be an alternative that is more economical, especially in cases where exterior work is't possible or sensible.
Drain: This method moves water out of your house through trench or a hole in the base, paired with a pump. This kind of system should also include insulation of basement walls, using a vapor barrier to protect against condensation. Drainage systems begin at around $2, 000.
Sealants: We do because they state they fail too readily sealants are recommended by 't,. The cost of a sealer-established water proofing project may range from $4 to $8 a square foot.
Epoxy injection: Like sealants, this option isn't always desired because it may supply only a temporary solution to fill cracks in poured-concrete walls. $300 can be started at by shots that are adhesive.
Because the purpose is to prevent water from getting inside your home exterior water proofing projects are sometimes called favorable aspect jobs.
Excavation: We consider installing margin strain or a subterranean trench to function as the process that is most reliable, if done correctly. However, the typical array for an job is $20, 000 to $30,000, and can be as high as $80,000, based on how accessible the specific places are, just how much digging is needed and must be. reconditioned work how much landscaping or additional
Sodium bentonite: This method includes adding a clay stuff to the dirt around the home absorb water and to fill breaks. It's an option that is momentary and difficult to control, since outdoor empties may block. Prices for this method begin at around $500.

How can I make homework and learning more fun for my 1st grader?
When it comes to school work he does the work but seem very uninterested in what he's doing! The teacher has a report for me everyday after class, and she notices how he complains about the work or says it's boring. I work with him at home and nothing seems to work. I have bought everything from leapfrogs, learning pads, movies, games, colorful books and I even made songs! When he's compared to other kids in the class he feel discouraged and his esteem falls low to the point he say it's too hard or he can't do it. I feel as if I'm failing him as a parent and not helping him succeed, when I know I'm trying my best! The school wants to hold him back but I know he is capable of passing.In Topics: Motivation and achievement at school

APPEAL from the Circuit Court of Perry County; the Hon. ROBERT
BASTIEN, Judge, presiding.
Defendant appeals his conviction of the crime of burglary after a trial by jury. He was sentenced to a term of not less than three nor more than five years in the penitentiary.
Initial consideration must be given to defendant's argument that the trial court committed error in overruling his motion to quash the indictment. His motion was founded upon the premise that fatal prejudice resulted when the statute relating to the selection of a grand jury was violated by the State's Attorney being present at and participating in the selection of the grand jurors who returned the indictment against defendant. The relevant statute is ch. 78, sec. 9, Ill. Rev. Stat., which governs the drawing of a grand jury in counties not subject to the Jury Commissioners Act. (Ill. Rev. Stat., ch. 78, secs. 24-35.) Amendments to this statute enacted by the legislature in 1969 made substantial changes in the manner of selecting a grand jury by requiring the names of the grand jurors to be drawn from the jury list. Prior to the amendments the persons constituting a grand jury were designated by the county board. The defendant offered as his witness the circuit clerk. The People offered the testimony of the three County Commissioners, the State's Attorney and his secretary. With some minor variation which we deem unimportant the testimony established that the selection of the grand jurors in question was the first time a grand jury had been chosen under the amendatory acts of 1969. The new procedure required the County Board of Commissioners to draw the names of the grand jurors from the jury list. The State's Attorney was in attendance at the regular meeting of the County Board in May 1970 to have them draw a grand jury and to advise them regarding the new procedure to be followed. Prior to the meeting the State's Attorney had prepared a resolution for selection of the grand jury but the names of the jurors were omitted from the resolution. Near the conclusion of other business of the board the State's Attorney advised the board that they had to select a grand jury from the petit jury box and read them section 2 from the Jurors Act relating to the qualifications of grand jurors. The county clerk was instructed to get the jury box, which was done. The jury box contained 1100 to 1200 names. The chairman of the County Board directed the State's Attorney to go ahead and start drawing the names while other business was being concluded. The State's Attorney and one of the Commissioners then proceeded to draw names from the box, checking them as they were drawn to determine whether their names were already on a previously selected petit jury list. Forty-three names were drawn from the box by the State's Attorney and the Commissioner. Afterward the State's Attorney read each name to the board to determine whether they had the requisite qualifications of grand jurors. Several were rejected because someone thought they were dead, infirm or had a previous criminal record or some other disability that would prevent their service. The rejected names were returned to the box and additional names drawn to make up a total of 43. All the tickets containing the names were then turned over and the members of the County Board drew 23 names which became the regular panel and the remaining 20 names became the supplemental panel. At the close of the meeting the State's Attorney took the two piles of names and put them in separate envelopes, identified as regular panel and supplemental panel, and gave them to his secretary to type into the resolution which had been previously prepared. The circuit clerk's testimony was at some variance with this. He stated that the State's Attorney picked up all 43 names and said he would take the first 23 as the regular panel and the remainder as the supplemental panel. The clerk testified that there was an excess of names drawn before the Commissioners made their selection and that the excessive names were returned to the box after the drawing. The State's Attorney testified that he never at any time told the board who to select as grand jurors nor did he even suggest any names to them or give them a prepared list of grand jurors. This testimony was corroborated by the Commissioners.
In rendering its decision denying defendant's motion to quash the indictment the trial court commented as follows:
"The Court is also aware of the fact that the Statutes are written to be followed. Various amendments are made from time to time to try to correct what deficiencies happened or what deficiencies were found in the Statutes. And the Court is also aware of the fact that these defendants or whatever defendants have been indicted by the Grand Jury are going to have, what the Court considers a fair trial. They are going to be confronted by witnesses. They are going to be represented by counsel. The Grand Jury is a very important process in our government. Although, in this particular instance where everything was laid on the table, everybody was present, the Court doesn't believe there was any ulterior motive in disregarding some of the substantial parts of the Statutes which he did disregard. And that it won't happen in the future. I believe if I could see a situation where the State's Attorney might dismiss the Board and say I'll take care of this later on and let you know or something like that where there was some kind of subterfuge or concealment carried out. But as I said, I believe everything was laid on the table and in the Court's opinion there was no effort to put particular persons on a supplemental or on a regular panel or Grand Jury list. Consequently, despite the well presented arguments of counsel for the Defendant, the Court is going to overrule your Motion."
Defendant places principal reliance upon the cases of People v. Mack (1937), 367 Ill. 481, 11 N.E.2d 965, and People v. Lindquist (1937), 289 Ill. App. 250, 7 N.E.2d 166. In Mack the alleged impropriety in selection of a grand jury arose when the Cook County Sheriff, at the court's direction, selected eight persons from the body of the county to complete the regular panel of grand jurors, that number being absent on the day designated for the grand jury to sit. There was a conflict in the application of the statute regarding selection of grand jurors in counties having a population of more than 250,000. The general statute relating to selection of jurors was, by what the court termed an anomaly, made applicable to the criminal court of Cook County. It authorized the action of the sheriff in filling the panel. The "anomaly" was later removed by appropriate legislation. The Jury Commissioners Act (Smith-Hurd Ill. Stat., ch. 78, sec. 32) regulated procedure for selecting grand jurors in Cook County and by its terms additional names as needed were to be drawn by lot from the jury commissioners list. The court held that the general statute regarding the selection of grand jurors did not control over the Jury Commissioners Act and that therefore it was error to fill the incomplete panel by having the sheriff select eight persons from the body of the county. The court found that there was no substantial compliance with the statute relating to selection of grand jurors and held the indictment void, stating "The rule that mere irregularities in the selection of a jury will not constitute reversible error is applicable only where there has been an attempt to follow the law and there has been some irregularity in doing so." The Lindquist case was also a case arising in Cook County and involved a situation similar to that of the Mack case and the Appellate Court reached the same conclusion as the Supreme Court had in Mack.
The court in the Mack case took note of People v. Lieber, 357 Ill. 423, 192 N.E. 331, where it was shown that 60 names, rather than the required 23, were drawn from the grand jury list and they were summoned to court. Several of the panel of 60 failed to appear or were excused for reasons unknown, and the clerk then drew by lot from those remaining out of the 60 to make a panel of 23. The court found that the 23 who were finally selected and sworn as the grand jury who found the indictment against Lieber were drawn and certified by those legally constituted to draw and certify the panel or list of grand jurors and were otherwise qualified to serve as such. It was held that a substantial compliance with the law providing for the drawing and impaneling of a grand jury is all that is required unless the record shows improper influence, undue prejudice or other matters which might have caused a true bill to be improperly returned. The court then overruled some prior decisions to the contrary and declared the following rule: "In order to remove any further doubt on the subject, we now hold that the provisions of the Jurors act and Jury Commissioners act, in so far as they relate to the manner of selection of grand jurors, are directory and not mandatory, unless the substantial rights of the accused are injuriously affected by the methods pursued."
The Mack case, curiously, omitted any reference to the case of People v. Bain, 358 Ill. 177, 193 N.E. 137, where the court observed that under the factual situation present "The procedure was at least novel, even though without any semblance of complying with the requirements of the statute." (Emphasis supplied.) It was nevertheless held that under the authority of People v. Lieber, supra, they were required to hold the trial court did not err in refusing to quash the indictment.
People v. Herkless, 361 Ill. 32, 196 N.E. 829, followed Lieber and refused to avoid a grand jury that had been selected by a subcommittee of the Board of Supervisors rather than the full Board of Supervisors as required by the statute. We note that the facts there resemble those of the case under consideration. The most recent case on the subject to which our attention has been called is People v. Petruso, 35 Ill.2d 578, 221 N.E.2d 276, in which the court held that it was frivolous upon the part of the defendant to argue that the grand jury was illegal because the clerk of the Board of Jury Commissioners was not present at its selection. The Lieber rule was followed, the court saying: "In the absence of any showing of improper influence, undue prejudice or other matters which might have caused a true bill to be improperly returned, the trial court properly refused to quash the indictment on such ground."
Upon consideration of the above authorities it would seem that the Mack and Lieber cases are not necessarily aberrant but an exceptional instance of irreconcilable conflict between two separate and distinct statutes in effect at the same time. They accordingly have no application to the case under consideration.
Defendant's arguments and citations also omit any reference to and completely discount the provisions of section 114-1(4) of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963. (Ill. Rev. Stat., ch. 38, sec. 114-1(4).) It provides that the court may grant a motion to dismiss an indictment, information or complaint upon the grounds that "The indictment was returned by a Grand Jury which was improperly selected and which results in substantial injustice to the defendant;." (Emphasis supplied.) We think this statute is controlling here and indicates the plain intention of the legislature to adopt the rule of the Lieber case.
Neither in his motion to quash the indictment, his evidence at the hearing thereon or in his brief here has defendant shown or attempted to show any prejudice which resulted from the proceedings at the drawing of the grand jury. In that connection it is worth while to note that the grand jury was selected and drawn over two weeks before the commission of the crime of which defendant stands accused.
The names of the grand jury in the case at hand were drawn by lot from the jury list which was prepared in accordance with the law. The drawing was in the presence of all the members of the County Board of Commissioners, the circuit clerk and the county clerk. The State's Attorney and one of the Commissioners drew the names from the jury box, testing them against the petit jury list which had been previously selected in order to avoid duplication. Thereafter, the full board participated in the rejection of names of persons who they knew to be deceased or under some other disability that would prevent their serving as grand jurors. The names were then turned face down on the table and the Commissioners proceeded to draw the names of the regular panel and the supplemental panel by lot. It is thus seen that there was an attempt made to follow the statute and that the proper authorities, the Board of Commissioners, did participate in the selection of the jury and did indeed make the final selection. The participation of the State's Attorney in the selection process was at the direction of the Chairman and in the presence of the full board. He certainly was properly present at the meeting in his capacity as legal advisor to the board. That it was his hand that withdrew the names from the box, without more, can scarcely be said to result in such prejudice to defendant that it would deprive him of fair treatment by the grand jury. We would also observe that the State's Attorney is no more an interested third party in criminal prosecutions than would be the sheriff, who, in instances where a special grand jury is ordered pursuant to Ill. Rev. Stat., ch. 78, sec. 19, personally selects and designates every member of the grand jury.
• 1, 2 The rule of the Leiber case and those that follow it is a just one for the obvious reason that the role of the grand jury in criminal cases is accusatorial only. As pointed out in the Lieber case, the grand jury is not a mandatory requirement under the Constitution of 1870 but could be abolished by the legislature at any time. That legislative power is continued in the 1970 Constitution under Article I, Section 7.
• 3, 4 In view of the precedents and the statute we think that the trial court was correct in denying defendant's motion to quash the indictment. We also agree with the trial court that the practice followed in this case, while not prejudicial to the defendant, is nonetheless improper and certainly not to be condoned. At the same time it is understandable that such an event could transpire in light of the confusion that attended the 1969 amendments to the Jurors Act which provided an entirely new procedure for the makeup of the jury lists, both grand and petit.
Defendant argues that the circumstances do not show probable cause to arrest the defendant and conduct a search of his automobile. He contends that the trial court committed reversible error in denying defendant's motion to suppress the evidence taken in what defendant terms an illegal search and seizure. We disagree. The evidence discloses that at about 10:50 P.M. on the evening of defendant's arrest, State Trooper Miller was patrolling in the vicinity of the city park in DuQuoin. He was driving an unmarked police car but it was equipped with a red light and siren. He was in uniform. When he went on duty that evening the City Police had taken him to a "couple of places in town to watch out." One of these places was a vacant house on North Lynden Street that had been burglarized. As he was traveling north on Division Street he noticed a car parked on North Street, headed east. It had only one license plate, its headlights were on and it was parked in front of an abandoned house. The trooper started through the intersection of Division and North Streets, backed up and drove toward the car. As he approached, the car turned down an alley. He did not follow the car down the alley because he had traveled it previously and knew it to be very rough. He went around the block, stopping so as to block the exit of the alley on Park Street. He radioed for a backup from the City Police and got out of his car to talk to the driver (defendant). The trooper described the area where he first observed the automobile as one where there had been a lot of trouble, several break ins, and the area was being kept under surveillance by both City and State Police. There had been at least four break ins in the area. The trooper stated that he "picked on" cars with one license plate. The automobile was an old model Chevrolet. The trooper walked up to the car which was occupied by only the driver, defendant. The trooper asked him for his drivers license and the reply was that he did not have any, that he had never had any. The trooper then arrested defendant for not having a drivers license and asked him about the car and for its registration. In reply defendant said he did not have any identification or registration for the car and that he borrowed the car from a friend but did not name anyone. Defendant told the trooper that his name was Lee Lence. Other police arrived on the scene. Defendant in response to a request got out of his car. Defendant asked for his coat. The trooper got it out of the back seat of the car but before handing it to defendant he searched it and found a straight blade knife with a blade about three inches long. While getting the jacket he noticed there were several pairs of gloves on the floor of the car. The trunk of the automobile was then searched. The first thing found was a box with the address of the vacant house that had been burglarized. There was also an old suitcase, a toaster and other items "like you would find in a trunk." A DuQuoin City Police Officer testified that there had been a report of a burglary at the vacant house on the same date as defendant's arrest. He was also present at the time of defendant's arrest and verified the circumstances and results of the trooper's search of defendant's jacket and automobile.
• 5-9 It is established that the constitutional safeguards against unreasonable searches and seizures do not prohibit all searches made without a warrant, but only those which are unreasonable, and that the determination of the reasonableness of any given search must depend upon the facts of the particular situation. (United States v. Rabinowitz, 339 U.S. 56, 94 L.Ed. 653; People v. Watkins, 19 Ill.2d 11, 166 N.E.2d 433.) A search incident to an arrest is authorized when it is reasonably necessary to protect the arresting officer from attack, to prevent the prisoner from escaping, or discover the fruits of a crime. (People v. Brown, 38 Ill.2d 353, 231 N.E.2d 577; People v. Watkins, supra.) It has been held that the total absence of license plates on a car could reasonably suggest a serious violation of the law which would justify a search. (People v. Brown, supra; People v. Watkins, supra.) Furthermore, the search of an automobile, including the trunk, may be conducted by police officers even after the defendant has been picked up as a mere traffic law violator where the circumstances reasonably indicate that a more serious crime has been committed. (People v. Brown, supra; People v. Thomas, 31 Ill.2d 212, 201 N.E.2d 413.) Under the disclosed facts Trooper Miller was fully justified in stopping defendant's automobile to make an investigation. The automobile had only one license plate. The officer started through an intersection, stopped, backed up and turned toward the defendant's automobile, and upon his approach the defendant turned down a rough alley. This occurred in an area where there recently had been several break ins. When the defendant was unable to produce a drivers license and admitted that he had never had one and also did not have any proof of registration of the automobile but stated he had borrowed it from a friend but declined to name the friend, the arrest of defendant was justified. The discovery of several pairs of gloves on the floor of the back seat of the car and the finding of the straight bladed knife in the jacket which defendant had requested, coupled with the other circumstances attending defendant's arrest, fully justified the officers in conducting a search of the automobile, including the trunk, to protect themselves from attack and to discover fruits of a crime. The circumstances also reasonably indicate that a more serious crime had been committed. We accordingly find that the trial court was correct in denying defendant's motion to suppress the evidence discovered in the search.
Defendant next contends that he was denied a right to a fair trial when he was denied counsel and the right to confront a witness. Defendant's objection in this regard is directed to the preliminary hearing. The record shows that after defendant was arrested he was taken before a magistrate for a hearing on probable cause and to set bail. It was determined that defendant was indigent and the public defender was appointed to represent him. The court then conducted a preliminary hearing at which one of the arresting offices testified. At the completion of his testimony the court asked defendant if he would like to cross-examine. When defendant indicated he would the State's Attorney objected upon the grounds that defendant could not cross-examine because the public defender had been appointed. The objection was sustained even though the public defender was not present. The court thereupon found that probable cause existed and bound defendant over for grand jury action.
• 10, 11 In People v. Adams, 46 Ill.2d 200, 263 N.E.2d 490, the court had under consideration the identical contention made by defendant here. They noted that prior to Coleman v. Alabama, 399 U.S. 1, 26 L.Ed.2d 387, 90 S.Ct. 1999, it was held that a preliminary hearing does not constitute a "critical stage" in a criminal prosecution so as to give rise to a constitutional right to representation. Preliminary hearings were characterized as proceedings to ascertain a crime had been committed, and to determine whether there was probable cause to believe that the accused has committed the crime. The court in Adams acknowledged that the United States Supreme Court held in the Coleman case that the preliminary hearing proceeding in Alabama was a "critical stage" in that state's criminal process requiring the presence of counsel, and that the preliminary hearing procedures of Alabama and Illinois are substantially alike, therefore the rule of the Coleman decision is applicable in Illinois. However, the court in the Adams case concluded that the directive of Coleman was to be applied prospectively only. The Adams case disposes of defendant's contention here. Since the decision in Coleman v. Alabama, supra, was handed down on June 22, 1970, it was not in effect at the time of defendant's arraignment on June 9, 1970.
The defendant finally contends that the evidence is insufficient to prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The argument is based principally upon the fact that the goods found in the trunk of the car could belong to his "friend" who owned the car and there is no satisfactory proof that he committed the burglary. Defendant also cites the case of People v. Slaughter, 2 Ill. App.3d 834, 277 N.E.2d 775, in which a defendant in possession of stolen checks was exonerated of his conviction of burglary when it was shown that there were several previous break ins coupled with the lack of satisfactory proof that the items in defendant's possession were taken on the date he was alleged to have burglarized the premises.
• 12-15 We think the evidence is more than ample to justify defendant's conviction. The items recovered by the police from the trunk of the automobile being driven by defendant were identified at the trial by the executor of the estate of the deceased owner of the house as belonging to the deceased, and that the same, prior to the burglary, had been located in the house. Exclusive, unexplained possession of recently stolen goods is evidence of theft and, if at the time the articles were stolen burglary was committed, such possession is also evidence of burglary. Although defendant stated he borrowed the car from "a friend" he refused to identify the friend. A police officer testified that the car defendant was driving at the time of the burglary was impounded at the Du Quoin Police Station until claimed by its owner who was from Indiana. But the recent exclusive possession of the stolen property is not the only evidence of defendant's guilt. Defendant refused to answer any questions or make any statement at the time of his arrest, as it was his constitutional privilege to do. However, on the following day the defendant was taken to the State's Attorney's office at Pinckneyville and in the presence of a police officer and the State's Attorney, and after he was given the Miranda warning, he orally admitted that he had gained entrance to the burglarized house with the assistance of three young boys. This admission was properly admitted into evidence and considered by the jury.
• 16 The evidence coupled with the admission of the defendant is more than ample to establish the guilt of defendant beyond a reasonable doubt. We have examined the Slaughter case and find it inapposite here. It does not establish any new rule of law but rather holds that under the evidence the defendant's guilt had not been proven beyond a reasonable doubt. To the contrary is the evidence in this case. Accordingly, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
Judgment affirmed.

Peel Pub: "Really cheap specials" Peel Pub Tip by Brijb20
Peel Pub, Toronto: 1 reviews and 0 photos
When we first found this Pub we thought it was just that. Of course we later found that all Pubs must serve food. Walking down the stairs, (this was around 5pm), the place was very big with lots of tables. We asked if we could just have a drink. Yes we could and then having got a drink started looking at the menu. The items were different and really well priced. One item a day at a ridiculous $2.99Ca. I've just looked at the website and that's todays prices. We got a plate of Nachos for a couple of dollars and it did for the 3 of us. It may not be haute quisine but if your looking for a cheap meal and a beer this is the place. There's nothing on the menu over $10Ca.
They also sell beer by the glass or by the pitcher making that cheap too.
I remember talking to a guy in another Toronto bar and he asked where we'd eaten, I told him and he said oh dear. So it's not popular with locals. Ah well!
Back in 2000 when we were there there was only one of these in Toronto and one in Montreal. Now there are 2 in Toronto and 6 in total.
Favorite Dish: Try them all, it's cheap enough
Address: 275 King Street West, Toronto
Price Comparison: least expensive
Directions: Downtown, Also on Yonge Street
Price: less than US$10

"Subtracting insult from injury- Disclosure of medical errors"
Patients are often in vulnerable physical or psychological states, even with routine procedures. Therefore, when harm from an unexpected event occurs, especially from someone they trust, reactions can be severe and traumatic. A common human response to something going wrong is to ask: 'What happened?'
A health care provider goes through the same issues after an error and equally powerful emotions are felt, such as shame, humiliation, fear, panic, guilt, anger and self-doubt. In response to this stress, physicians employ several coping mechanisms, including denial and distancing. "Physicians felt upset and guilty about harming the patient, disappointed about failing to practice medicine to their own high standards, fearful about possible lawsuit, and anxious about the error's repercussions regarding their reputation" (Gallagher, Waterman & Ebers, 2003, p. 1005). This is compounded by fear of litigation, which causes physicians to feel guarded in their dealings with patients following an error.
The healthcare professionals who are at the so-called "sharp end" of medical error are called the "Second Victim."
A common perception among physicians is that good doctors don't make mistakes. Because of this, physicians learn to keep mistakes to themselves rather than risk the judgment of their peers. In fact, the pressure to be perfect is so great that doctors admit they would lie to colleagues or patients to cover up a mistake. Out of concern for liability exposure, some doctors have given up their practices, limited the kinds of procedures they perform, or restricted the types of patients they see.
Some patients resort to threatening with lawsuits to get things straightened up. Growing evidence indicates apologies reduce litigation and offer great, though unquantifiable, emotional benefits for patients, families, and health care providers.
A trusting relationship between provider and patient is the bedrock of medical care. Following an adverse medical event, patient and provider relationships face their greatest test. The key to success is open patient–provider communication and a true sense of caring.
Helping to maintain a patient–provider relationship is an apology, and then personal, repeated attention to the needs of the patients and families. Patients need action taken quickly and confidently by providers. Quick action provides a sense of reassurance in the confusion. This action must be directed at answering the initial patient worries of 'what happened?', 'what is next?', 'is this fixable?' Provider support of the patient must follow quickly and continue as the process unfolds.
Learning Objectives:
Understanding the principles of Disclosure
Understanding provider and patient expectations of error disclosure
Understanding risks & benefits of medical error disclosure

Company:Fuji Photo Film U.S.A. Inc., www.fujifilm.com
Price:$699.99 list
Spec Data:6.3 megapixels; 6X optical zoom; 2.0 second boot time; 1.1 second recycle time; 1,250 lines; 2.4% transition pixels
Pros:Takes pictures of very good quality and does it very quickly. Speedy boot time as well.
Cons:The rechargeable batteries and charger you'll want to use with this camera will add to the cost since it doesn't ship with them. Bulky grip can be awkward.
Bottom Line:The S7000 is quick, reasonably full-featured and easy to use for an enthusiast camera, and shoots pictures of impressive quality.
The Fujifilm FinePix S7000 offers extensive controls and very good to excellent image quality. Combined with professional ergonomics and striking ease of use, these make the S7000 a prime choice for enthusiasts.
With its big lens and extended battery grip, the plastic-and-metal S7000 looks like a pro single-lens reflex. It offers manual exposure, aperture and shutter priority, and also manual focus, bracketing, and a histogram. But it ships with four double-A alkalines, not rechargeables. You'll probably want to buy a set of rechargeables and a charger with the camera.
Although the grip extends too far for comfort, the S7000 is surprisingly easy to use. All the controls are accessible, and the menus are easy to navigate. Boot and recycle times are fast, though the burst mode isn't quite as impressive because of the camera's limited buffer. The S7000 scored well in resolution (its SuperCCD interpolates to 12 megapixels). Our daylight shot had a slight cyan cast, but the flash shot was perfectly exposed and evenly illuminated.

Diane von Furstenberg Q&A
In town to toast her new Coral Gables boutique, we chat up the prolific designer.
Women all over the globe have Diane von Furstenberg to thank for the invention of the figure-flattering wrap dress. Since '72, Von Furstenberg has been a tour de force in the rough-and-tumble fashion world and in her significant role as the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) president, she dedicates herself to fostering emerging talent. In town to toast her new Coral Gables boutique, we chat up von Furstenberg on Miami, marriage and more.
What do you love most about Miami? Miami has a certain joie de vivre and it is sexy!
Since its inception, your wrap dress has been a wardrobe staple — what is another item every woman should have hanging in their closet? A fantastic coat. A coat is the first thing people see, so I always like something bold. I love the Sally coat in python that is part of our Resort collection.
You've created a fashion empire but always tout your children, Alexander and Tatiana, and four grandchildren as your greatest creations. How has being a mother and grandmother impacted your life? I would not be the same person if I were not a mother and a grandmother. It taught me responsibility and to be serious. And to see your children and grandchildren grow is a reminder of the passage of time, so you don't waste it!
Dish some marriage advice — what's the secret to happily ever after? Be true to yourself — if you lose yourself, you lose what attracted you to one another in the first place.
It's your day off — quick! — what are you doing? Hiking with my family.
