Doing More for a Safe and Secure Food Supply
Vice President Biden, Secretary Sebelius, and I just concluded an event to announce the initial findings of the Food Safety Working Group. We were joined by a group of public health professionals and others interested in food safety. Many of these individuals were critical in contributing to this report through their participation at breakout groups when the Group held a Listening Session in May.
Nearly 1 in 4 Americans get sick every year due to foodborne illness and an estimated 5,000 die from consuming contaminated food. This status quo is not acceptable. That is why I am very pleased that the Obama administration is taking such quick and decisive to improve our food safety system.
The fact sheet and key findings released today identify core food safety principles that will guide the development of a modern, coordinated food safety system focused on prevention, effective enforcement and quick response to any outbreaks. USDA will work with other federal agencies to create a unified incident command system and utilize new technologies to better communicate critical food safety information. We will work even more intensely with our partners than ever before and work to improve the way we communicate with consumers, beginning with http://www.FoodSafety.gov.
In addition to these important activities, USDA will immediately take additional measures to improve to the safety of the U.S. food supply. USDA will reduce the prevalence of Salmonella in poultry, step up enforcement in beef facilities to fight E. Coli, and help build a National Traceback and Response System so that we are better prepared to discover a contamination source and eliminate product from the marketplace when an outbreak does occur.
After the main event, Secretary Sebelius and I took part in a live chat session with people via Facebook. I have to say, it was a first for me and it was great to talk with people all across the country who are interested in a wide range of topics surrounding the production, inspection and consumption of the food supply. We also took a few questions about local and young farmers and I look forward to sharing more about what USDA is doing on that front including the People's Garden and Beginning Farmer and Rancher Program.
I am continually impressed and inspired at the degree of interest and passion consumers have in agriculture and food safety issues. Let us know what you'd like to hear more about and let's continue this important discussion.

If you've read the raft of fearful "$150 oil?" stories this week — see here, here and here — take a deep breath.
Syria, the focus of this week's jump in oil prices after some saber-rattling from the Obama administration, is not very consequential for the commodity. At least not on its own merits. To get to $150, you instead must base your forecast on a broadening of the conflict well beyond Syria's borders, to Iraq or elsewhere in the Middle East, in order to fear significant supply disruptions.
Worth noting: There's still no certainty we'll see a U.S. or U.K. military action against the country, much less a broadening of the conflict to other countries in the region. France and Britain are calling for more time to weigh an international coalition, and a U.N. resolution authorizing force just went down in flames.
Just as importantly, even when oil-producing Middle East countries are wracked by violence, there's no guarantee the commodity's upward price momentum will continue. Oil lost its price mojo after the onset of hostilities amid the ouster of Muammar Qaddafi in Libya during 2011, for instance.
That's one of the points Commerzbank's commodity strategists make in an overnight note that oil worrywarts should read:
Ever since the "Arab Spring" broke out in early 2011, we have always made reference in our statements and price forecasts to the supply risks in the Middle East and to the associated "geopolitical premium" on the oil price. When assessing a "fair" price premium, however, we believe that it only really makes sense to consider the foreseeable risks. After all, although only the really surprising developments bring about the most dramatic price increases, such as a war in Iran, terror attacks in Saudi Arabia or the complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz, these "black swans" cannot be priced in. Their consequences would simply be so catastrophic that even a price rise to $150 or higher would be conceivable. At the present time, however, these risks do not appear any more likely than they did a week or a month ago, which is why we currently view predictions of an oil price rise to $150 per barrel as unfounded scaremongering. The present situation simply does not warrant such a price. Were the West to launch only a limited military strike against the Syrian regime, it is likely that oil prices would then fall again just as quickly again as they increased. For one thing, Syria plays no role on the oil market, and for another we are confident that "optimism" amongst speculators on the oil exchanges in New York and London is currently at its highest ever level, judging from their positioning. What is more, this would correspond to the usual historical pattern, according to which tension builds up ahead of conflicts and prices rise sharply. When war actually begins, however, oil prices have tended to collapse. Looking at recent history by way of comparison, the toppling of Gaddafi in September 2011 resulted in Brent prices falling quickly from $115 to $100 per barrel.
United States Oil Fund (USO), the leveraged ProShares Ultra DJ UBS Crude Oil ETF (UCO) and United States Brent Oil Fund (BNO) are each backing off recent highs on Thursday with fractional losses.

The push to get immediate exposure to the stock market via exchange-traded funds was at its hottest pace in years during September, data released by Morningstar this week shows.
In the same month that the Federal Reserve unveiled a third round of quantitative easing and Europe made well-received steps to fight the sovereign-debt mess, ETFs gathered $38 billion in inflows, the biggest single-month tally in more than three years. It was the exact opposite of August, which saw weak inflows of $2.6 billion.
So, yes, investors wanted quick, easy, immediate "beta," and they found it in ETFs. Get me the stock market, and get it for me, now!
In a sign of where investors are turning — homeward, risk-friendly — U.S. stock funds were the strongest attraction, netting $18 billion. The biggest of them all, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), was the single best asset-getter, with $12 billion.
More color from Morningstar on the "risk on" attitude:
Within each asset class, the riskiest segments attracted strong inflows. Among fixed-income funds, high-yield bond ETFs saw inflows of $1.6 billion; among U.S. stocks, small-caps gathered $2.8 billion; among international stocks, emerging markets collected $2.9 billion; and among sector stocks, real estate and financials took in more than $1 billion each.

Skip to comments.How to copy a tv commercial containing subliminal messaging used to re-elect O
Posted on 04/23/2012 4:01:21 AM PDT by Robert Drobot
In 1974 the FCC adopted guidelines stating that although subliminal advertising might not be effective, they still felt it was a deceptive practice. If any broadcaster of TV or Radio signals uses a subliminal message they are subject to fines from the FCC.
On Sunday, 1 April 2012, during the Fox News program John Stossel - Stupid in America an advertisment was played for a medicine manufactured by Pfizer called CHANTIX ( varenicline ) tablets. At the beginning of the ad a female provides a positive testimonial about the anti-smoking product followed by the narrator's voice his first two words are ....Obama support..... He then proceeds to describe the medicines positive and negative potentials.
I did a double take, and played the ad again ( Direct TV ), and sure enough the guy says "....Obama support....", whereupon I recorded the program at 12:37p PST.
How did you record it? Is it a digital recording?
If you can make out the message audibly it is not subliminal by definition.
It's already on YouTube. Search "Chantix Deception"
If you play the commercial backwards does it say I buried Vince Foster?
Have you ever listened to the warnings on the Chantix commercial?
Afterwhich, a reasonable person would never by Chantix or Obama....
The media exists to "deceptively influence voter decision making".
Now we are left to demand the FCC look into the following questions :
"Along with support"
my son and I caught this about a month ago!! OMG. We both kept saying 'did you hear that...obama support' every time the ad played.
Thank you.
Along with support..
You too, can rid yourself of being paranoid.. ;0)
Clearly heard it on the youtube.
Ricky Holders gonna be all over this like white on B Wacky's Daddy.
It says "Along with support Chantix has proven....."
I always thought it said something like that but with some hearing loss I was never sure.
Dude. Yer a nut. It's "Along with support".
I don't hear "Obama" I hear, "Along with". This strikes me as lawyer-ese hedging where they fear stating something definite exposes them to potential false-advertising claims. So they insert some "cover our butt" weasel language as civil liabilty risk management.
The nebulously phrased "Along with support" gives the company a broad range of definitions that means everything and nothing, depending on if the lawyer is arguing on behalf of, or against, the pharma co.
So I can certainly take issue with the snake-oil pitch they are making, but I doubt very seriously it has anything at all to do with Obama.
I have listened 3 times and I hear "OK lets go", then the woman begins to speak.
Along with support.... You might someday stop pointing your camcorder at your TV and posting it on Youtube. What's wrong with people?
listen to it yourself. I'm not paranoid.
Either way, if it just sounds like itmission accomplished. IMO
The leftist are not just setting on their butts and taking their chances.
I'm convinced there are hundreds of little people/groups, maybe more,
PAID vermin to come up with anything to get 'it' re-elected.
The author kept trying to convince the reader there were hidden images in advertising manipulating our brains. I bought the book because I believed it was happening, but after reading the book, realized it was the author who was seeing things that didn't exist.
He had print ads in the book and pointed out the hidden images within by using a "before and after". It was like finding images in clouds. It was nonsense.
And last time I checked, the effectiveness of "subliminal advertising" (hidden messages) is still unproven.
"It says Along with support Chantix has proven.....
Jeeeeez! "
I was listening to the radio and heard this:
"Newt technologies working together to provide green energy solutions."
OMG Newt Gingrich is Brain washing people!!!!
I had to read some books like that for a college English class. It was one of the easiest A's I earned...just write a bunch of BS!
Years ago, I was told, the military looked into subliminal messaging as a means of rapid instruction during crisis situations—i.e. the ultimate in "crash training". Their conclusion was that "subliminal messages" were a bunch of hokum...that if a message is too quick or indistinct for the conscious mind to register it, the mind simply rejects it.
I thought it said "fnord".
Meanwhile back in reality every experiment with subliminal messages shows them to be not very effective and not worth the trouble.
Just hire Mr. Subliminal.
That is a beautiful post, and you're right. Time for me to send a donation!
So-called "subliminal" messages don't work. Subliminal means below threshold (of perception), if you hear it or see it, it's not below threshold (not subliminal). But if the message is truly subliminal, then you do not perceive it.
Chantix and Obama - both give you vivid nightmares.
I'd post the audio to FR from the disc I used to copy the tv ad spot, but I don't know how to do that.
I believe you but it just isn't loud enough for me to hear it.
Further, the clip itself misleads a viewer into believing subliminal messaging is legal. It is illegal according to Federal Communications Commission regulations established in 1974.
The clip wrongly references the Federal TRADE Commission.
The clip creator should have known there are two ( 2 ) federal agencies responsible for directly overseeing the electronic medium ( television ) and election campaign finance auditing ( elections ).
The appropriate and negligent agencies failing to protect American Citizen voters are :
The questions demanding answers from AND action by the Federal Communications Commission include :
The questions demanding answers AND action from the Federal Election Commission :
How do I copy the audio to a file which may then post here ?
Got any ideas about how this can get radio talk time ?
In Public Utils. Comm'n v. Pollack, 343 U.S. 451, 72 S. Ct. 813 (1952), the argument was made that the First Amendment guarantees an individual the freedom to listen only to such points of view as he wishes to hear. However, because there was no substantial evidence that radio programs had been used for objectional propaganda, the Supreme Court declined to consider that argument.
Although the Supreme Court in Pollack did not decide whether an individual has a First Amendment right to listen only to points of view which he wishes to hear, the holdings of other Supreme Court cases support the conclusion that such a constitutional right does exist under appropriate circumstances.
In defining the broad spectrum of free speech rights guaranteed by the First Amendment, the Supreme Court has established that an individual has the right to speak, the right to remain silent, and the right to receive information.
The obvious right guaranteed by the express language of the First Amendment is an individual's right to free speech. (Cf. Griswold v. Connecticut, 381 U.S. 479, 482, 85 S. Ct. 1678, 1680 (1965)).
Concomitant with the right to speak is the right not to speak. In Board of Educ. v. Barnette, 319 U.S. 624, 63 S. Ct. 1178 (1943), a local school board adopted regulations requiring school children to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. A child's failure to participate was punishable as insubordination. Members of the Jehovah's Witnesses brought suit to enjoin enforcement of the regulations. The district court granted the injunction and the school board appealed.
The Supreme Court affirmed the district court holding that it was unconstitutional for the school board to compel children to recite the Pledge Of Allegiance. The majority reasoned that it would be inconsistent if the First Amendment protected an individual's right to speak his own mind, but did not protect him from others who would compel him to speak what was not in his mind. (63 S. Ct. at 1183).
The Supreme Court further reasoned that it was more important to protect individual freedom of mind than to sanction compelled uniformity. (63 S. Ct. at 1135).
Finally, the Court concluded that compelling children to recite the Pledge of Allegiance invaded "the sphere of intellect and spirit" protected by the First Amendment. (63 S. Ct. at 1187).
The holding in Barnette was reaffirmed in Wooley v. Maynard, 430 U.S. 705, 97 S. Ct. 1428 (1977). In Wooley, a New Hampshire statute required noncommercial vehicles to bear license plates embossed with the state motto, "Live Free or Die." Any person who knowingly obscured the numbers or letters on a license plate was guilty of a misdemeanor.
Members of the Jehovah's Witnesses brought suit in federal court seeking both declaratory and injunctive relief from enforcement of the statute. They claimed that the state motto conflicted with their religious beliefs. A three-judge district court granted the requested injunction and the state appealed.
On appeal, the Supreme Court held that it was a violation of the First Amendment for the state to require an individual to display an ideological message on his private property.
In reaching its holding, the Court reasoned that the right of freedom of thought protected by the First Amendment included both the right to speak and the right to refrain from speaking. (97 S Ct. at 1405). As the Court stated:
"A system which secures the right to proselytize religious, political and ideological causes must also guarantee the concomitant right to decline to foster such concepts. The right to speak and the right to refrain from speaking are complementary components of the broader concept of `individual freedom of mind.'" (97 S. Ct. at 1435).
Consistent with its holdings that an individual has First Amendment rights to speak and to remain silent, the Supreme Court has also held that an individual has a First Amendment right to receive information.
This right first appears to have been recognized by the Supreme Court in Martin v. City of Struthers, 319 U.S. 141, 63 S. Ct. 862 (1943). In Martin, a city ordinance prohibited individuals from distributing handbills, circulars, or advertisements by summoning a resident to the door. In holding the ordinance unconstitutional, the Supreme Court stated that the First Amendment protects not only the right to distribute literature, but also the right to receive it. 63 S. Ct. at 863.
The First Amentment right to receive information has been reaffirmed several times. (See Griswold v. Connecticut, 381 U.S. 479, 482, 85 S. Ct. 1678, 1680 (1965); Stanley v. Georgia, 394 U.S. 557, 564, 89 S. Ct. 1243, 1247 (1969); Kleindienst v. Mandel, 408 U.S. 753, 762, 92 S. Ct. 2576, 2581 (1972)).
In another case, a statute providing that any pharmacist who advertised or promoted the prices or prescription drugs was guilty of unprofessional conduct was challenged. One of the issues to be resolved by the Supreme Court was whether the plaintiffs, prescription drug consumers, had standing to bring suit as the recipients of the intended advertising. The Court held that they did have standing because the First Amendment protected not only the right to distribute information and ideas but also the right to receive information. The Court stated:
"Freedom of speech presupposes a willing speaker. But where a speaker exists, as in the case here, the protection afforded is to the communication, to its source and to its recipient both. . . This Court has referred to a First Amendment right to `receive information and ideas' and that freedom of speech `necessarily protects the right to receive'. . . If there is a right to advertise, there is a reciprocal right to receive the advertising and it may be asserted by these appellees." (96 S. Ct. at 1823).
Although the Supreme Court has never had occasion to articulate whether an individual has a First Amendment right to be free from unwanted speech, the rationale from the preceding cases which recognize the First Amendment rights to speak, to remain silent, and to receive information as well as dieta from several relevant cases support the conclusion that an individual does have the reciprocal right to be free from unwanted speech. (Emphasis added).
In Kovacs v. Cooper, 336 U.S. 77, 69 S. Ct. 448 (1949), the Supreme Court upheld the validity of a municipal ordinance which prohibited the use of sound trucks despite arguments that it abridged an individual's right of free speech. In reaching its holding, the Supreme Court reasoned that "the right of free speech is guaranteed every citizen that he may reach the minds of willing listeners." (69 S. Ct. at 454). (Emphasis added).
The concurring opinion of Justice Douglas in Lehman v. City of Shaker Heights, 418 U.S. 298, 94 S. Ct. 2714 (1974), is supportive of the language in Kovacs.
In Lehman, a candidate for public office attempted to place political advertisements supporting his candidacy on the city transit system. The city refused and the candidate brought suit claiming his First Amendment rights were being violated. The Supreme Court held that due to, inter alia, the captive nature of the streetcar audience, a city bus is not a First Amendment forum (Emphasis added).
In his concurring opinion, Justice Douglas focused on the rights of the passengers by stating that the constitutional rights of the speaker are subordinate to the constitutional rights of the commuters when the circumstances are such that they are incapable of declining to receive the message. (94 S. Ct. at 2719). (Emphasis added).
Kovacs and Lehman imply that individuals have a First Amendment right to be free from unwanted speech. (Emphasis added). The Supreme Court has stated that the right to speak and the right to refrain from speaking are complementary components of the First Amendment rights of freedom of thought and mind. (See Barnette and Wooley, supra).
Speech is only the outward expression of what a person thinks in his mind. Just as an individual has the freedom to express his thoughts in words about political, social and religious issues, he also has the reciprocal freedom to remain silent on these issues. He may not be forced against his will to speak out about them.
Correspondingly, if an individual has the right to receive information and ideas expressed by others with whom he may philosophically, socially, religiously, or politically agree or disagree, he must also have the reciprocal right to refuse to receive such information and ideas. (Emphasis added).
If an individual cannot be made to recite a pledge which conflicts with his religious beliefs because the First Amendment protects his freedom of thought, doesn't that same freedom of thought give him the choice to be free from obtrusive speech which may conflict with his religious beliefs?
Subliminal speech is intended to influence the listener's behavior by having the message surface in the listener's conscious mind as his own thoughts and beliefs.
When an individual is exposed to subliminal messages without his knowledge and consent, he is deprived of his constitutional right to choose the speech to which he would either listen or decline to listen and his First Amendment right of freedom of thought is violated. (Emphasis added).
The Court concludes that the First Amendment right of an individual to be free from intrusive speech are paramount under circumstances involving subliminal messages where the individual has no knowledge that he is being bombarded by these messages, and therefore, has no means of making a conscious decision to either hear them or avoid them.(Emphasis added).
C. May Hidden Messages Be Forced Upon An Unknowing And Unconsenting Audience?
An individual's right of privacy was first articulated by Justice Douglas in Griswold v. Connecticut, 381 U.S. 479, 85 S. Ct. 1678 (1965). According to Griswold, the right of privacy is found in the penumbras emanating from the Bill of Rights. (85 S. Ct. at 1681).
The holding in Griswold was at least partially foreshadowed by Justice Frankfurter's concurrence in Kovacs and Justice Douglas' dissent in Pollack.
In upholding a municipality's ban of sound trucks which emitted loud and raucous noise, Justice Frankfurter relied heavily on the rights of individual's to be free from intrusive speech. He recognized that unless the "narrowing opportunities for serenity and reflection" are safeguarded, "freedom of thought becomes a mocking phrase, and without freedom of thought there can be no free society." (69 S. Ct. at 459). (Emphasis added).
In Pollak, the Supreme Court held that the broadcasting of music over loudspeakers in city buses was constitutionally permissible. Justice Douglas dissented relying upon the passengers' right of privacy. He believed that the right to be let alone was the beginning of all freedom. He stated that the right to be let alone included the right to think as one chooses and to believe as one wishes. (72 S. Ct. at 823).
While Justice Douglas recognized that an individual loses some measure of privacy when he goes upon the streets or enters public places, he did not believe that an individual riding in a public bus out of necessity could be forced to listen to speech which he did not want to hear.
He was concerned that when people are forced to listen to another's ideas, the propagandist is given a powerful weapon. He concluded, stating that "the right of privacy today violated, is a powerful deterrent to any one who would control men's minds." (72 S. Ct. at 824). (Emphasis added).
On occasion, an individual's right of privacy conflicts with another individual's right of free speech. Which right prevails involves a balancing test which often depends upon the circumstances under which the conflict occurs. (See FCC v. Pacifica Found., 433 U.S. 726, 748 n. 27, 93 S. Ct.3026, 3040 n. 9 (1978); Rowan v. Post Office Dep't, 397 U.S. 728, 736-37, 90 S. Ct. 1484, 1490 (1970); Erzonznik v. Jacksonville, 422 U.S. 205, 208-09, 95 S. Ct. 2268, 2272 (1975)).
As the following cases illustrate, an individual's right of privacy will prevail over another's right of free speech if the unwilling listener's degree of captivity makes it impractical for him to avoid the unwanted speech.
In Rowan v. Post Office Dep't, 397 S.S. 228, 90 S. Ct. 1484 (1970), it was necessary for the Supreme Court to determine whether an individual's right of privacy in his home outweighed an individual's free speech rights.
In Rowan, a federal statute allowed an addressee receiving material which he considered erotically arousing or sexually provocative to notify the post office to remove his name from the sender's mailing list. After the post office received the request, it would issue an order directing the sender to refrain from further mailings to the named addressee.
The statute was challenged by publishers, distributors, owner, and operators of mail order houses, and mailing list brokers, and owners and operators of mail service organizations as an unconstitutional infringement upon their First Amendment right to communicate.
The Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the statute stating:
"Weighing the highly important right to communicate . . . against the very basic right to be free from sights, sounds, and tangible matters we do not want, it seems to us that a mailer's right to communicate must stop at the mailbox of an unreceptive addressee." (90 S. Ct. at 1490). (Emphasis added).
In reaching its decision, the Court reasoned that nothing in the Constitution compels an individual to listen to or view any unwanted communication, regardless of its merit. 909 s. Ct. at 1490. The Supreme court further stated that if its decision operated to impede the flow of valid ideas, the answer was that no one has a right to force even "good" ideas on an unwilling recipient. (90 S. Ct. at 1491). (Emphasis added).
In Lehman v. City of Shaker Heights, 418 U.S. 298, 94 S. Ct. 2714 (1974), a local politician attempted to place political advertisements in the car card space on city buses. His application was denied because the management agreement with the city did not permit political advertising. The politician sought judicial relief claiming that his First Amendment rights had been violated.
On review, the Supreme Court held that due to, inter alia, the inability of the passengers to effectively avoid the car cards, the politician had no First Amendment right to require his political advertising to be placed in the city buses. (Emphasis added).
Justice Douglas' concurrence emphasized the passengers' right of privacy when he stated:
"In asking us to force the system to accept his message as a vindication of his constitutional rights, the petitioner overlooks the constitutional rights of the commuters. While petitioner clearly has a right to express his views to those who wish to listen, he has no right to force his message upon an audience incapable of declining to receive it. In my view the right of the commuters to be free from forced intrusions on their privacy precludes the city from transforming its vehicles of public transportation into forums for the dissemination of ideas upon this captive audience." (94 S. Ct. at 2719). (Emphasis added).
In FCC v. Pacifica Found., 438 U.S. 726, 98 S. Ct. 3026 (1978), the Supreme Court upheld the authority of the FCC to regulate the hours during which radio stations could broadcast indecent language despite claims that such regulation violated the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech. (Emphasis added).
The Court stated that of all forms of communication, broadcasting received the most limited First Amendment protection because of its "uniquely pervasive presence" in the lives of Americans. (98 S. Ct. at 3040). According to the Court, patently offensive, indecent material presented over the airwaves could be restricted since an individual's right to be left alone at home plainly outweighed the First Amendment rights of an intruder. Id. The Court rejected the argument that the offended listener could simply turn off the radio stating that it was like saying that the remedy for an assault is to run away after the first blow. Id. (Emphasis added).
One of the more recent cases to consider the competing privacy rights of an individual and the First Amendment rights of a speaker is Frisby v. Schultz (108 S. Ct. 2495 (1988)).
In Frisby, a city ordinance was enacted which prohibited residential picketing. The stated purpose of the ordinance was to protect, inter alia, the privacy of the individual's home.
Despite arguments to the contrary, the Supreme Court affirmed that a public street is a traditional public forum regardless of whether or not the street runs through a residential neighborhood.
The test applied by the Court in determining whether or not the ordinance was constitutional was whether it was narrowly tailored to serve a significant government interest and whether it left open ample alternative channels of communication. (108 S. Ct. at 2501).
The Court concluded that protecting the privacy of the home was a significant government interest.
The area of privacy focused on by the Court was protection of the unwilling listener. In this regard, the Court stated:
"Thus, we have repeatedly held that individuals are not required to welcome unwanted speech into their homes and that the government may protect this freedom (citations omitted). . . There simply is no right to force speech into the home of an unwilling listener." (108 S. Ct. at 2502). (Emphasis added).
The Court held that the ordinance did not violate the First Amendment. In reaching this holding, the Court reasoned that individuals were captive in their homes and "the First Amendment permits the government to prohibit offensive speech as intrusive when the `captive' audience cannot avoid the objectionable speech." (108 S. Ct. at 2503). (Emphasis added).
Contrasted with the Court`s decisions in the cases discussed above are Cohen v. California, 403 U.S. 15, 91 S. Ct. 1780 (1971), and Erznoznik v. Jacksonville, 422 U.S. 205, 95 S. Ct. 2268 (1975).
In Cohen, the defendant wore a jacket in the Los Angeles County Courthouse with the words "F the Draft" printed on the back. He was arrested and convicted of "maliciously and willfully disturbing the peace or quiet of any neighborhood or person . . . by offensive conduct." (403 U.S. at 16).
The Supreme Court overturned his conviction stating that his message was protected by the First Amendment despite the argument being made that his mode of expression was thrust upon unwilling or unsuspecting viewers, and therefore, was unprotected speech. The Court rejected this argument stating that the unwilling or unsuspecting viewers could easily avert their eyes.
In Erznoznik, the manager of a drive-in theater challenged the constitutionality of a city ordinance which prohibited drive-in theaters, visible from any public street or public place, from showing movies which contained certain prescribed nudity.
In support of the ordinance, the city argued that any movie containing nudity which was visible from a public place could be lawfully suppressed as a nuisance in order to protect citizens from unwilling exposure to material that could be offensive.
The Supreme Court struck down the ordinance as being an unconstitutional impairment of First Amendment rights. In reaching its holding, the Court stated that there are occasions when the degree of captivity makes it impossible for the unwilling viewer or auditor to avoid exposure, and therefore, the captive individual's right of privacy prevails. (95 S. Ct. at 2272 73). However, under the circumstances in Erznoznik, the Court did not believe that a drive-in theater was so obtrusive that it was impossible for an unwilling individual to avoid being exposed to the offensive material. (95 S. Ct. at 2274).
The Court concludes that the foregoing cases firmly establish that the privacy rights of an unwilling listener will prevail over the free speech rights of a speaker if the listener is subjected to a speaker's message under circumstances which make it impossible or impractical for the listener to avoid being exposed to the unwanted message. Conversely, if the listener or viewer can avoid exposure after the initial impact, then the First Amendment rights of the speaker should prevail. (Emphasis added).
Applying this standard to the present case, the Court concludes that the very nature of subliminal messages make it impossible for the unknowing listener to avoid exposure.
Privacy, if it is to mean anything, must permit a recipient of communication to control what he sees or hears. He must have the freedom to choose what he sees or hears. He must have the freedom to choose what he will listen to, read, or view. His reception of communication must be voluntary. No individual should be as a captive audience. (Emphasis added).
The defendants contended during oral arguments that an employer has a First Amendment right to imbed subliminal messages into the Music system of its factory which direct its employees to vote for a particular political candidate in an attempt to influence their vote. They contend that this is the freedom contemplated by the First Amendment.
We do not agree. The Court believes that this approach is the antithesis of freedom. The privacy rights and freedom of the employees to control what they see or hear, and think as they choose, may well be denied when they are continuously exposed to such a subliminal message.
Perhaps no one is more of a captive audience than one who is exposed to subliminal messages. Because individuals subjected to subliminal messages are an unknowing audience, they have even less control than the unwilling audience. The listeners or viewers don't know if they are willing to receive the subliminal message because they are unaware that it existed. In the captive audience cases described above, individuals could at least attempt to shut out the unwanted speech; however, when subliminal messages are employed, the unaware listener does not even have that option. (Emphasis added).
If the right of privacy is to respect the mental processes of an individual, as it does, it must have the ability to foreclose others from secretly intruding into the subconscious of an unwitting individual in an attempt to manipulate his thought processes and ultimately his behavior. (Emphasis added).
In their closing arguments at the oral hearing, the defendants claimed that there was no difference between manipulating an individual by using subliminal techniques or manipulating an individual by traditional speech. The Court does not agree. Traditional speech is consciously heard by the listener whereas subliminal speech is not intended to be nor is it consciously heard by the unwitting listener. Traditional speech may be consciously evaluated by the listener and either accepted or rejected. Subliminal speech is incapable of being consciously evaluated and is intended to influence the listener's behavior without giving him the opportunity for conscious reflection and consideration before acting. (Emphasis added).
The freedom to exercise one's thoughts is essential to the exercise of other constitutional rights. If an individual is not protected in his thoughts and behavior, the right of privacy becomes meaningless. The use of subliminal messages deprive an individual of these aspects of privacy. Subliminal messages may deny an individual his right to make free choices. Consequently, the Court concludes that when an individual is subjected to subliminal messages without his knowledge and consent, his privacy rights outweigh any free speech rights of the person or entity publishing the subliminal message.

iPhone 4S: Best contract deals in the UK
The iPhone 4S is nearly here, looming ominously over our bank balances, ready to strip us of our hard-earned cash, and repaying us with extra megapixels and processing power.
Picking up an iPhone 4S and not accidentally paying top dollar looks like it could prove difficult, particularly given that every electronics store from here to Timbuktu plans on stocking the thing. Thankfully Pocket-lint has come to the rescue and picked out the best deals we can find from the major networks (in the UK, not Timbuktu) so that you don't pay over the odds.
Best iPhone 4S deals on Vodafone
Vodafone's vital statistics include a 3-month unlimited data test drive when you sign up and 750MB of data to play with on the more expensive contract deals. You also get access to 12-, 18- and 24-month plans with the handset so you can upgrade when Apple releases its next gadget.
iPhone 4S 16GB
From the looks of it your best bet with the entry level iPhone 4S, if paying a rather large monthly phone bill isn't a problem, is to opt for it on the 12-month plan, with £139 up front cost. You will get yourself 1200 minutes, 750MB of data and unlimited texts to play with. The total cost of owning an iPhone 4S should work out at £751, compared to a £46 per month contract where the phone is free but you are bound to 24 months, which would set you back £1104 in total.
iPhone 4S 32GB
The same theory as above applies to every single one of the iPhone 4S memory sizes on the Vodafone network. £51 per month, however, is quite a lot to deal with, so say you want to pay less monthly but more on the handset, the best value option would be to stump up £399 to start with and then face just a £26 per month phone bill. You do have to deal with just 100 minutes, 500 texts and a puny 250MB of data though.
iPhone 4S 64GB
So you have opted for the grand master, the 64GB offering, with enough memory to fit an absurd amount of music and apps on board. All that memory comes at a premium, with an unlocked 64GB version of the iPhone 4S coming straight from Apple costing £699. The best deal we can see is taking the middle ground, stumping up £219 for the handset and then £46 per month on an 18-month contract. That is going to cost you £1047; less than a 16GB where you have opted to take the handset for free.
Check out Vodafone's iPhone 4S pre-order page here.
Best iPhone 4S deals on Three
Pick up an iPhone 4S on Three and you have one obvious immediate bonus: unlimited data. This is a big incentive for serious smartphone users, especially if you fancy taking advantage of all the iPhone 4S has to offer, assuming you know that Three offers good connectivity in your area.
iPhone 4S 16GB
Three likes to keep it simple with its price offerings, keeping up a does-what-it-says-on-the-tin approach to things. Essentially you need to decide whether you want unlimited data or not - if you don't, go for the £35 per month and £49 up front cost. That is easily the cheapest and will total £889 over 24 months. You can pay £99 for the handset and £35 per month to get hold of unlimited data, that will mean a total price of £939.
iPhone 4S 32GB
Going for the meatier memory doesn't necessarily mean stumping up much more cash. This one is a total no brainer. £35 per month, £189 up front, 2000 minutes, 5000 texts and unlimited data. This will set you back £1029 over 24 months.
iPhone 4S 64GB
We have to tip our hats to Three for keeping it simple here. The largest memory iPhone is the same sort of price range as the previous two. You want the £35 per month middle ground, same minutes as the 32GB offering, but with an up-front cost of £279, totalling £1119.
Check out Three iPhone 4S pre-order page here.
Best iPhone 4S deals on Orange
Orange goes in for the unlimited texts option on its lower priced packages, so it is worth considering if you are a serious texter. You also get access to Orange's Wi-Fi setup, which gives you unlimited data to play with provided you can access it.
iPhone 4S 16GB
Going for the £46 per month deal seems to be a trend emerging across all networks and in Orange's case it's no exception. You are looking at picking up a 16GB iPhone 4S for free with 900 minutes and unlimited texts. The total price will be £1104.
iPhone 4S 32GB
Things naturally get a tad more expensive with the 32GB option, from what we can see it is best to save on the contract and stump up for the handset. You want to pay out £36 per month and then £219 for the handset. That will get you 600 minutes, unlimited texts and 500MB of data to play with. Total price? £1083.
iPhone 4S 64GB
It looks to us like going in for the 64GB iPhone 4S is the best way to go in terms of value, it also means you get the most memory to play with. In Orange's case go for the £41 per month and £219 for the handset, it totals £1203.
Check out Orange's pre-order page here.
Best iPhone 4S deals on T-Mobile
T-Mobile grants you access to things like its Flexible Booster offerings, which means you get to call other T-Mobile users for free or enjoy things like reduced price calls to the US. You also get 750MB of data to use.
iPhone 4S 16GB
It's the return of the £46 per month special, or in T-Mobile's case £45.96. You get plentiful minutes, 1200 to be precise and 500 texts as well as a single flexible booster. The handset itself is free. Expect this to set you back £1104 over 24 months.
iPhone 4S 32GB
Same again for the 32GB version really, albeit with a £139 price tag on the handset. Expect this to be £1243.
iPhone 4S 64GB
Yet again the £46 option looks like the one to go for. T-Mobile clearly knows exactly what they want you paying. This time round the total runs to £1239, only a small amount more than the 32GB and well worth the extra pennies to grab the double memory.
Check out T-Mobile's pre-order page here.
Best iPhone 4S deals on O2
O2 has had a long history with the iPhone and has a nice little network infrastructure setup that provides a decent balance between customer support and the odd freebie. You have got access to things like O2's Priority Moments and unlimited Wi-Fi. Current O2 customers also gain access to a 12-month contract on the iPhone 4S.
iPhone 4S 16GB
The cheapest we can see on O2's 16GB offerings is going for the £15.50 per month for 24 months and then paying out £299 for the handset. This will total £671 over the full term of the contract and is one of the cheapest ways we can see of getting hold of an iPhone on a contract. If you would rather get yourself a few more minutes each month then why not look at something like the £36 per month deal, with £49 up front cost for the handset. Current O2 customers will get it for free saving themselves the £49 on a new contract.
iPhone 4S 32GB
The difference between monthly pricing on O2 with its 24-month, 18- and 12-month contracts is relatively slim, so we decided to opt for a short-term deal here and dish out £139 for the handset on a £46 per month contract. That gets you 1200 minutes to play with and unlimited texts as well as 500MB of data for an extra £6. The total reaches £691.
iPhone 4S 64GB
Going for the 64GB on O2 doesn't look like too bad an idea. In fact it looks like it is providing the best value for money/memory ratio on any of the networks. Easy one this one, go for the 12-month, £46 per month with the handset costing £209. That totals up at £761.
Check out O2's pre-order page here.
The winner
We've got to admit, all this network related mathematics has our brains slightly fried. It is almost impossible to choose one single contract as an overall winner because there is so much involved in signing up for a new mobile phone.
You need to think of it like buying a new gold fish: you are probably going to have to put up with feeding it every week and will get bored, but you can't get rid of it. Whatever happens it is going to be an expensive and painful process, after all you are opting for one of the most desirable pieces of technology currently on the market and the networks know this.
So you need to think, what do I want? Loads of data = Three. Perks, bonuses or already a customer = O2. Decent service and reception plus good customer support base and data test drive = Vodafone. A formidable contract with the chance to change what you get from it = T-Mobile. Every single one of these networks provides decent quality service and reception but you do want to check if you have coverage in your area.
Ultimately we think that the best thing to do is save up a bit of extra cash and splash out at first. Then you will have major savings made over the term of the contract in the amount you spend each month.
Worked out any better deals? We want to know!

If you want to watch the Bears play at Soldier Field next season, prepare to open your wallet.
The Bears announced Wednesday that most ticket prices will increase for the 2013 season. The average price increase is 4.2 percent for season-ticket holders, which includes price increases of $3 to $10 a ticket for 90 percent of the seating bowl as well as price increases of $15 to $30 a ticket for a selection of lower-level, mid-field seats.
Some ticket prices in the Bears' United Club will remain flat.
After the price increases, non-club tickets will range from $79 to $165 per game. Those tickets account for about 85 percent of seating at Soldier Field, according to the Bears. Meanwhile, United Club season tickets will range in price from $265 to $540 per game.
The Bears' home schedule in 2013 includes a game against the reigning Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens. The Bears also will host their three division rivals – the Green Bay Packers, Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings – as well as the Cincinnati Bengals, the New Orleans Saints, the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants.
A full schedule including dates and kickoff times will be released this spring.

The Calorie and Nutrition Test
Their result for The Calorie and Nutrition Test ...
83% Calories and 82% Nutrition!
Great job! You got 83% correct on calories and 82% correct on nutrition! I hope you enjoyed my test. The original version had 50 questions, and I trimmed it down to these 20, after asking my friends for feedback.
Whether or not you're on a diet, it still pays to know basic nutrition and be able to guess calories. I once tried to diet and was consuming 650 calorie "bran" muffins, thinking they were right for me. I gained weight. Little did I know, I would've been healthier eating 2 egg McMuffins from McDonald's. Wow.
Anyway, what people seem to want most is an answer key, so here goes. Message me if you disagree about anything.
1. A banana has around 110 calories, so the answer is 70-125. If you picked either of the neighboring answers, you still got points. (The same is true for all the calorie questions.)
2. Bananas (bananae?) are a source of potassium.
3. Trans fats are currently deemed "bad" by everyone, and more than trace amounts of them are becoming illegal in a lot of cities' restaurants across the US.
4. Margarine is a big source of trans fats.
5. A glazed donut from Dunkin D's has 230 calories. Fewer than you might expect. They're fried, so I'm not advocating them or anything.
6. Häagen-Dazs' vanilla ice cream has a whopping 1080 calories per pint. I have sat there and plowed through an entire pint while watching Netflix on my couch. Sadly, I didn't even appreciate the pint at the time. Anyway: good food to pack for the apocalypse. Bad for dessert in big quantities.
7. Sugar and protein both have around 4 calories per gram. (Fat has 9.)
8. Water has 0 calories. (Not Vitamin Water, though, the brand. That stuff tastes good, I admit.)
9. If you burn more calories than consume, you'll lose weight. This doesn't include other factors like water retention (too much salt) or breast augmentation surgery, but generally, it's true. If your goal is to lose weight, simply (1) eat healthy, and (2) make sure you burn more calories than you consume.
10. Running definitely burns more calories than walking, even per unit distance.
11. Sugar does not have bleach it it, although it's reacted with a chemical that acts as a bleaching agent to strip impurities. There's no bleach in there though.
12. There are 100ish calories in a tablespoon of butter.
13. 15 cashews (bless you!) have 180 calories or so.
14. Digestion begins in the mouth. Semantically one could argue it begins in the hand in some cases, but I left that option out so we'd all agree on this one. Your teeth, saliva, and tongue all help prepare food for the path down your throat.
15. The liver is not part of the digestive system. The liver is rad, though.
16. Glucose (C6H12O6) is used in cellular respiration. Your body converts fat, protein, and sugars all into this one simple carbohydrate for burning.
17. Despite popular myth, Diet Coke hydrates you. Shocking, right? If you were stuck on a desert island with a bunch of dry foods and diet coke, you would not get all dehydrated and die. It isn't nearly as effective as water, but it hydrates, overall.
18. There are 30 milligrams of sodium in a large potato. 30 grams would be 1,000 times the normal amount. This question wasn't designed to test your knowledge of the metric system, just your familiarity with nutrition labels. If you read them often, you know that sodium is typically measured (and consumed) in mg.
19. Alcohol provides calories. 7 calories per gram.
20. A pregnant woman should start by adding around 100 calories per day to her diet and then up that to about 300. Different doctors suggest different amounts, but no one suggests 1,000 extra calories per day.
Thanks for taking my test! Don't forget to rate it and challenge your friends!

Did You Know? Countdown to Chanukah 2009 (12/04)Friday, December 4th, 2009
Did You Know?
Facts, Figures &
Folklore about Chanukah
the Jewish Festival of Lights
Dec 04 : 07 days till Chanukah
Did you know the Chanukah story is not written about in the Torah?
The principle event of the holiday, the battle between the Maccabees and the Greeks, is post-Biblical. It happened several hundred years after the Torah is believed to have been given to the Jewish people on Mount Sinai.
Did you know that the word Chanukah means "dedication"?
Referring to the restoration of the Temple by the Maccabees after they defeated the Greeks? Unlike the monotheistic Jews, the Greeks practiced a pagan faith and had filled the Holy Temple with numerous idols.
Chanukah, the Jewish Festival of Lights, is a celebration of the victory of the Maccabees and the rededication of the Jerusalem Temple. It also commemorates the miracle of the oil that burned for 8 days.

Eames Molded Plywood Coffee Table, Metal Base
by Herman Miller
designed by Charles & Ray Eames
At A Glance:
Charles and Ray Eames designed the molded plywood coffee table in 1946 to complement their famous molded plywood chairs. Lightweight and movable, this imaginative table is unmistakably Eames with its thin, slightly indented top and bent steel rod legs. This coffee table first came to Herman Miller's attention when their design director George Nelson saw it and other Eames molded plywood products at a showing in the Barclay Hotel in New York City in the mid-1940s. Nelson contacted the Eameses, and soon afterward they were designing for Herman Miller.
What's to Like:
- "Strength" isn't the first thing that comes to most peoples' minds when it comes to plywood furniture. But this coffee table is chock full of strong-itude.
- Three high quality, lightweight hardwood inner plies are sandwiched between natural wood face veneers.
- The 5-ply table top and slender legs combine for exceptional visual balance and gracefulness.
Bottom Line:
The Eames Molded Plywood Coffee Table is the granddaddy of them all when it comes to mid-century modern plywood tables, and is right at home in the modern living room. This coffee table is the perfect complement to most seating areas and provides a cozy feel.
The Herman Miller Eames Molded Plywood Coffee Table is also known by the following manufacturer Item Number: CTM.
Materials & Measurements
- 5 -ply top made from Natural face veneers and hardwood inner plies.
- Metal 4 leg base
- Overall: 15.5" h x 34" diameter

By CLARK HUNTSan Jose, California
Do not add more power to the federal government for this area.
I am a Carbon County native with lots of Emery County roots. In the summer of 1963, after a year of college at CEU with plans to become a civil engineer, I was so lucky to get a job with the Price District BLM Office as an engineering aide. Jobs were just as tight in 1963 as they appear to be today in the Carbon-Emery area.
Although hired as an "engineering aide" my real task was to be the local guide for a Utah State graduate student working on a grant to "classify" the lands adjacent to the proposed Interstate 70 highway from Salina to Green River. Somewhere in the bowels of the BLM is our study of the San Rafael area, complete with annotated maps, photos and descriptive notes. As best we could, we explored 10 to 20 miles on each side of the then I-70 survey stakes and suggested future classification for use of the lands. What a great summer.
My dad, Loran Hunt, and his Uncle Moroni Hunt, did extensive uranium prospecting and some mining in the San Rafael and Eagle Canyon areas in the 1950s. I frequently found mining claims containing Great Uncle Moroni's trademark tobacco cans as the repository for his mining claim papers. When you take the road down into Eagle Canyon from Swasey's Cabin, you will also discover remnants of core drilling on the Moroni Hunt claims. During our 1963 summer adventure, we explored many uranium mining sites, to include their local dynamite storage areas. By 1963, most of the dynamite was at least six to seven years old and had the nitro separating from the sticks. You could smell the nitro in the air. Miners left their explosives near their mining sites since it was against the law to store explosives within city limits.
During a trip back to Utah in May 2000 to attend the re-dedication for the Winter Quarter's Mine disaster, I took a trip down through the Buckhorn and out to Swasey's cabin, via the sink-hole and some other lesser known areas of interest. I sure found a lot more people and especially off road vehicles roaming the area than I ever imagined.
Although I am not a current Utah resident, I was appalled at the arrogance of the Clinton Administration in creation of the Grand Staircase National Monument and the resultant complete loss of voice by the area residents. Local people should have some control of their surrounding land areas. Not the federal government!
I suggest that the local population work on designating the area a county or state park to work on getting the lands out of federal control and back to control by at least the state and hopefully county officials.

It was cold, windy and a little rainy in Week 5, a drastic shift from the warm weather DeKalb County experienced during the first four weeks of the season.
What were the key takeaways from Week 5? Let's go down the list...
Kaneland 34, Rochelle 6: After a slow start, Kaneland (5-0) rolled over a previously undefeated Rochelle squad. The Knights have never lost a Northern Illinois Big 12 East game in the conference's three seasons.
Kaneland seemed a little shaky in its first two games, but the Knights have stepped up their game over the past three weeks, allowing only six total points. Kaneland is proving, once again, to be the class of the conference.
Ottawa 10, Sycamore 6: Sycamore (4-1) will be kicking itself after letting this game slip away. Two big special teams mistakes gave Ottawa good field position for both of its scoring drives.
The Spartan defense had, perhaps, its best performance of the season, holding RB Miguel Hermosillo (University of Illinois commit) to 68 yards on 20 carries. The offense just couldn't get on track.
The last four games don't get any easier for Sycamore, which will need to win at least two more wins if they want to host a first-round playoff game
DeKalb 49, Streator 6: Even without sophomore RB Dre Brown, DeKalb (1-4) rolled to its first win of the season. Its a definite confidence-booster for the Barbs, who took care of business against a winless Streator squad.
Whether this win helps DeKalb long-term remains to be seen. But they survive playoff elimination for at least one more week.
Burlington Central 26, Genoa-Kingston 14: A battle of the Big Northern Conference East Division leaders didn't go the Cogs' way. G-K let a late lead slip away and fell to 2-3 on the season.
The Cogs (2-3) have two tough games coming up against Winnebago and North Boone, and they'll need at least a split to remain in playoff contention.
North Shore Country Day 39, Hiawatha 22: The Hawks had a chance to be 3-1 after last week, but now find themselves at 2-3. The result is an improvement from past results against North Shore, but certainly HIawatha isn't into moral victories at this point in their season.
Hiawatha is in a similar position to G-K with tough games against Mooseheart and Alden-Hebron in the next two weeks. Just like the Cogs, the Hawks will need a split to keep alive their playoff dreams.

The survey, taken by AT&T as part of the "It Can Wait" campaign, also shows that 77 percent of teens say the adults in their lives tell them not to text and drive. However, 41 percent report seeing their parents read or send an email or text while driving.
The survey also concluded the "100 deadliest days" for teen drivers are the days between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
Those who take the habit of texting to the road are 23 times more likely to be in an accident.
Another finding in the survey: minorities are more likely to text and drive.
The survey found that 54 percent of Hispanic teens were more likely to text and drive compared to 38 percent of Caucasian teens and 42 percent of African-American teens.

The chair of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Allison Macfarlane, is in eastern Massachusetts Friday, looking at the Pilgrim nuclear power plant. Macfarlane says the four shutdowns this year for Pilgrim have given the commission "a little bit of concern."
"We want to understand why they've had so many shutdowns this past year," she says. "And we're going to be doing more inspections there and ensuring that they continue to operate safely."
The NRC this week added Pilgrim to its list of underperforming reactors.
On Thursday, Macfarlane visited Seabrook nuclear plant in New Hampshire. That facility a few years ago was found to have micro-cracks in concrete walls. Macfarlane says the NRC will be "vigilant" in making sure the plant can operate safely.

David Beckham was honoured – sort of – at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Sports Awards last night in LA. He had his boys Romeo and Cruz with him. H7 is too young and Brooklyn, I guess, doesn't want to be a "kid" anymore? I totally get that. But how cute is the hair? The Beckham boys family hair.
So they slime people at this event. You've seen it. And…usually it's green, right?
Have you ever seen it such a lovely shade of gold?
Look at him. His biceps like they're part of some museum statue. The glow off his hair like it's a bust that some artist has spent years chipping. He's been slimed and he still looks magnificent!
