Giant Eagle Becomes First LEED-certified Supermarket in U.S.
PITTSBURGH - Giant Eagle, Inc. has become the nation's first grocer to earn the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification.
PITTSBURGH - Giant Eagle, Inc. has become the nation's first grocer to earn the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification.
The certification from LEED, a national green building rating system administered by the U.S. Green Building Council, was awarded to Giant Eagle for a store in suburban Cleveland, Ohio. The certification designates that Giant Eagle has and will continue to meet required standards by incorporating environmentally responsible features and systems into the 80,000-square-foot supermarket, which opened this past summer in the Brunswick Town Center shopping plaza.
The LEED designation builds on the chain's already recognized commitment to responsible resource use. Giant Eagle was recognized in February as a 2004 Energy Star Retail Partner of the Year by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, for adopting smart and efficient energy practices.
"Becoming the first LEED-certified supermarket underscores the importance of being an environmentally responsible member of the communities we serve," said Giant Eagle v.p. of marketing Kevin Srigley. "It is a continuation of our pledge to understand the environmental issues that we all face and to adopt appropriate practices to meet those challenges. Our conservation department continues to pursue alternative sources of energy and conservation initiatives."
Among the Brunswick Giant Eagle's environmentally-friendly features are:
-The consumption of 30 percent less energy than comparable supermarkets, with more than 50 percent of the location's electrical energy supplied through wind generation.
-Fifty skylights integrated with electrical lighting sensors, which automatically adjust the amount of electric light supplied, depending on the light generated by the skylight.
-Air-quality sensors to monitor for carbon dioxide and other gases, to ensure fresh, clean air throughout the entire store.
-The absence of ozone-depleting refrigerants in the refrigeration and cooling systems.
"A great deal of time, talent, and resources went into making our Brunswick concept a reality," added Giant Eagle director of conservation Jim Lampl. "We already are implementing many of these features into our new supermarkets for the benefit of our employees and customers."
Guided tours of the LEED features employed at the Brunswick Giant Eagle are available to the public, and teachers interested in educational visits can make arrangements by contacting the store at (330) 225-0616. Reservations are not required for impromptu individual tours, but are needed for large groups.

New Windows® Phone Markets open for app developers
The developers of smartphone apps can now submit their apps in the 23 newly added Windows Phone markets. These 23 markets are in addition to the already existing five markets. By the addition of these 23 markets, the developers will be able to gain access to around 60% more potential customers.
The new regions that have been added are Europe – Iceland; Central and South America – Venezuela and Costa Rica; Asia – Vietnam, Thailand, Kazakhstan and China; Middle East – United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Iraq and Bahrain; and Eastern Europe – Bulgaria. The Windows Phone Marketplace is already available in most countries. Developers can get their apps submitted to these new marketplaces through the App Hub.
A few additional certification requirements might be required in some regions due to local laws and customs. These regions are UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Malaysia, Kazakhstan, Iraq, Indonesia, China, and Bahrain. It usually takes a week or so to get the certification for apps in these regions.

Electronic plan rooms are becoming increasingly prevalent, and digital documents and drawings are becoming more widely used and accepted in the architectural/engineering and construction (A/E/C) industries.
Cliff Brewis, senior director, editorial, McGraw-Hill construction, which runs a network of plan rooms nationwide, says, "Brick and mortar plan rooms are increasingly becoming document handling centers. We are still making available to the marketplace hard copy documents, and we still allow for a kind of library of plans and specifications, but essentially what's happening is we are also digitizing those documents at those locations…as quickly as possible."
Jim Walker, president and chief operating officer of John S. Clark Co., a general contractor headquartered in Mount Airy, N.C., says that his firm strongly encourages subcontractors to view documents electronically. He notes that many subcontractors now prefer viewing plans electronically because "they don't have to get drawings they do not need; they can view them online and make sure they really want to bid a job before they get prints of them."
Brewis says, "By and large there is a general acknowledgement that the electronic plan [room] is a more efficient and less expensive way to distribute documents. You obviously don't have all the printing costs and you can send out plans simultaneously across the marketplace to whomever needs them."
What different plan rooms offer varies. Most offer software that allows owners, architects and general contractors to invite subcontractors to bid on jobs and to view documents electronically either on a CD or on the Web—generally in the comfort of their own offices or jobsites. Some, like BXWA.com and The Blue Book, offer databases that owners, architects and general contractors can plug in to find potential subcontractors—including minority contractors—to work on jobs. Some don't print documents at all but team up with local reprographic shops to be able to provide both electronic viewing and printed plans and specifications.
Isqft, headquartered in Cincinnati, offers a subscription service in which clients receive a user name and password that allows them access to documents online, as well as a service in which general contractors can invite select subcontractors and vendors to bid on projects.
Plan Express, headquartered in Memphis, Tenn., recently established a partnership with Kinko's that allows contractors and subcontractors to access and print out documents at Kinko's locations across the country.
McGraw-Hill's Brewis says document management throughout the life cycle of the project is the next big thing in electronic plan rooms. "I think you're going to continuously see this trend. It's not just electronic documents—it's really managing the entire project electronically, really cradle to grave."
Several McGraw-Hill/Dodge plan rooms are partners within ReproMAX, an association of reprographic facilities throughout North America and Europe. ReproMAX and McGraw-Hill Construction are partnering to offer a new suite of products that will enable customers to manage all project documentation—from plans and specifications to emails, RFI's and submittals—electronically.
Despite the advantages that electronic plan rooms offer, some architects caution that digital documents present some challenges that traditional paper drawings do not.
Reggie Currin, regional manager for Raleigh Durham for Imaging Technologies Services in Morrisville, N.C., says, "A lot of architects don't want their drawings out there on the web for others to look at, even though it's a secured environment."
Dave Brown, vice president with architectural firm Ralph Allen and Partners in Santa Ana, Calif., says that looking at images on a computer screen can make it harder for contractors and subcontractors to understand the scale of a project. "You can't read the whole sheet on the screen at one time. You have to blow up certain areas, [and] there might be something on the other side of the sheet that explains what they're not seeing."
Brown says his firm worked with one client that wanted to use electronic documents through the bidding process and found that several contractors and subcontractors had questions because "the scale was off…it made it a lot more difficult."
Currin adds that some architects worry that since electronic drawings are downloadable, they could be easily manipulated or changed.
Jim Kirby, a project architect with Perkins + Will's Charlotte, N.C. office notes that a way to avoid problems with manipulation is to control who has access to the documents. "There has to be a clear understanding of who has access to what," he says. "And the management of who has access to what has to be stayed on—you have to keep up with it." Contractors, subcontractors and project team members who view Perkins + Will drawings cannot print them out; in order to print out documents, they need to go to a reprographic facility or request a document from Perkins + Will.
Kirby is responsible for overseeing which firms can access Perkins + Will's project documents. "That side of it is time consuming," he says. He adds, however, that having online document services provided by a printing company "puts the responsibility on them to keep access management in check which minimizes my management time dramatically."
Kirby adds that electronic plan rooms offer many advantages to a large firm like Perkins + Will. "A lot of our projects serve multiple offices. So we have a lot of Perkins + Will offices working on the same projects for large clients, and a lot of our consultants are [scattered] all across the Eastern Seaboard."
Kirby says the key advantage to using electronic documents and plan rooms "is being able to share the information in a quick period of time. It provides a lot of flexibility in being able to view drawings…Our consultants can go to a certain sheet and pull from that at whatever time frame they need it."
Regardless of how individual architects may view electronic plan rooms, most acknowledge that they are the wave of the future. "I think it is inevitable," Brown says.
Currin, of Imaging Technologies Services, acknowledges that "some people are skeptical and I certainly understand that. But the market is changing, and if they don't change with it, they are going to lose the opportunity to be competitive in an ever changing market."

Conditional logic showing fields I'm not requestingAsked by christian_wagner on May 18, 2016 at 02:33 PM
I've been building a form and for some reason there seem to be a few conditional logic error bugs I can't seem to rectify. Let me paint the scenario:
-I want the customer to go down to TRACKLISTING and choose either "FILL OUT TRACKLIST" or "ATTACH PQ SHEET."
-IF "FILL OUT TRACKLIST" is selected, an option for "CHOOSE ONE: (Single, Double, Triple, Quadruple)" will show up and that will determine how many fields it will show underneath. HOWEVER, simply choosing "FILL OUT TRACKLIST" will show ALL of the fields that are conditionally determined by CHOOSE ONE.
-In addition, if a customer changes its mind and selects "ATTACH PQ SHEET", I want it to hide the fields that were underneath this. However, even with the rule I set up, it doesn't hide the fields I specify.
Any help would be appreciated!
In such setups Christian, it is best to use the approach with form collapse fields. You can see more about this here: Show or Hide multiple fields at once using form collapse tool
Next to this one rule of thumb - use either show or hide conditions on a single field. Using both show and hide will cause issues somewhere along the path since show condition implies that until that condition is met, the same field should be hidden.
Now in your case, you should set up the "FILL OUT TRACKLIST" and "ATTACH PQ SHEET." should show their own form collapse fields.
That way you will always hide the fields that should not be shown without a lot of conditions.
From there, you simply work your way through the other fields.
Do of course let us know if you have any additional issues or any questions and we would be happy to assist with the same.
This worked perfectly. Thank you so much. Is there any way to not have the indent when they appear on the form?
JotForm Support
On behalf of my colleague, you're welcome.
Regarding to your second question, unfortunately, I cannot understand what are you trying to achieve, is this related to an specific field? As I can understand you want to hide something when showing the fields, I checked your form, but could not figure it out, please provide us a bit more about what are you trying to achieve, we will be glad to help you.
JotForm Support
Thank you for the details, since this is not related anymore to this thread, I have moved it to a new one, you will find it on this link: https://www.jotform.com/answers/842837
We will assist you with that as soon as possible.

Compare critical illness cover online
Leave a cash lump sum to your loved ones in the event of your death and protect your family's financial future.
Guaranteed acceptance for UK residents aged between 50 and 80 with no medical required. Choose an Over 50's policy to suit your budget and needs.
Whole of life insurance guarantees the pay out of a lump sum when the policyholder dies which can be used for Inheritance Tax Planning.
Receive a cash lump sum if you are diagnosed with one of the specified critical illnesses in your policy, such as cancer, heart attack or stroke.
Critical illness cover can provide much needed financial relief by paying you a tax-free lump sum should you suffer with a serious medical condition. Critical illness cover can also help you deal with the financial ramifications of such a life-changing event.
Everyone wants to think that they won't fall ill or that if they do they'll be on their feet again swiftly, but this is not always the case and a critical illness could end your ability to work.
The money received from a critical illness claim could be used to:
Critical illness cover can be bought as part of a life insurance policy and will pay you a tax-free lump sum if you suffer any of a number of pre-defined conditions.
These conditions typically include cancer, coronary artery bypass, heart attack, kidney failure, major organ transplant, multiple sclerosis and stroke. Insurers may also include other conditions in addition to these and some may have qualifying criteria regarding some of these conditions.
If your critical illness cover is combined with your life insurance policy you can opt for different levels of cover for each. For example, you may want a lump sum of £100,000 to be paid when you die but only £10,000 if you suffer a critical illness.
A critical illness could force you into early retirement or you may not have the capacity to work as many hours as previously. You may even need expensive medical equipment and therapy if your critical illness leaves you with a long-lasting disability.
A critical illness could mean you need to make changes to your home such as improved wheelchair access or modifications to enable you to carry on living independently.
Whilst modern medicine continues to make great advancements in the 21st century, more people now survive critical illnesses for longer. Approximately one in three people will develop some form of cancer in their lifetime and 80% of those will experience a loss of income1.
Income protection insurance can pay you a monthly benefit if you cannot work due to injury or accident. Income protection insurance will cover critical illnesses but your pay-out will be in the form of a monthly benefit rather than a lump sum. Whilst you may be able to claim multiple times on an income protection insurance policy, once you claim once on your critical illness cover your policy will end.
The pay-out for critical illness cover is not linked to your salary, however income protection insurance is directly linked to how much you earn.
If you would like assistance in comparing both critical illness cover and income protection insurance policies one of our product specialists can assist you in answering your questions.
The cost of your critical illness insurance will depend on a number of factors, including:
As critical illness cover is an optional add-on to your life insurance policy the cost of critical illness cover may be as little as a few extra pounds to your life insurance premium.

Who Will Be The Next Major Death On The Walking Dead?
The Walking Dead returns for its seventh season in six weeks. When it does, you can bet that some of the characters whose hearts are still beating will lose that pulse before the next eight episode run concludes.
Season 7 has already seen several main characters bow out. Most noteably, we lost Glenn and Abraham but the season premiere deaths were not the only ones. Throughout the first half, we've also said goodbye to Spencer, Olivia, and Fat Joey (and possibly Heath).
With Rick Grimes finally rallying the troops in the second half in what will inevitably be a war against Negan and the Saviors, the reaper will never be further than the nearest corner. If you're of the crowd hoping to seeing Negan killed in the next batch of episodes or even seasons, you're likely going to be out luck.
On the following slides, we pair a few expectations with knowledge of Robert Kirkman's comics to reveal our expectations for who is sent off next.
Be warned, potential spoilers follow!

As much as we'd like to believe that Michael Phelps is the greatest birthed since Zeus and that Usain Bolt might be more impressive than Phelps and that the U.S. softball team might be more dominant than either of them, we have to admit there is another story going on.
Even if it's using only our inside voices, we must admit that the one thing that might have created the most joy during the Olympics so far has not taken place on the field, on the track or in the pool.

Wade appears recovered from his injuries, attacking the hoop like the D-Wade of old.
Now, don't say this out loud, because you don't want anyone to look at you all weird, but Dwyane Tyrone Wade Jr. is baaaacccckkkk!!!!
Let's just call it a comeback inside of the comeback. The Redeem Team's redemption in pool play has the world believing that the organized confusion that was USA Basketball now is over and all is right with the basketball world. Well, pool play is over, and it's time to put the kids to bed and cover the squeamish ones' eyes because it's nation time.
And of all the things the Olympic world of basketball could have prepared for -- LeBron being unstoppable, Kobe controlling games on both ends of the floor, Dwight Howard pulling apparatuses down with Xbox-like dunks -- no one was prepared for the Return of D-Wade. Not like this.
"Don't call it a comeback, I've been here for years
--LL Cool J on "Mama Said Knock You Out"
"Coming back like I'm avenging my brother's death."
Big Daddy Kane on "The Symphony"
Pick a lyric. Choose any song that has something to do with revenge, payback, get-back, and none will be strong enough to serve as the soundtrack to Wade's revival over the past week. It's not just the injuries he's had to overcome and play through, but also the doubt others had in him that has become the driving force behind his reincarnation.
"I'm back," he told NBC reporter Craig Sager after his 17-point, 5-assist, 6-steal performance against Greece. Back to the D-Wade who led the Miami Heat to an NBA title.
Back like Robert Downey Jr. Back like CC Sabathia.
Back in his Patrick Ewing pads, making the world realize that LeBron and Kobe no longer are alone atop the "Who's the best basketball player alive?" question that starts arguments in barbershops, bars and bedrooms at least once every month.
Before he convinced the world he had returned, he had to convince others close to him -- USA Basketball magistrate Jerry Colangelo, trainer Tim Grover (who helped bring him back to life), himself. He had to prove to them that he was ready -- back to what he once was.
That could be what fueled this comeback. The proof factor. The "Y'all really thought I fell off" proof that he had to use to prove to everyone from Beijing to Robbins, Ill., that he hadn't gone anywhere, that he wasn't about to become the next Penny Hardaway. The reckless abandon: back. The fearlessness: back. The explosiveness, hops, OMG moments: back. Wade is leading the U.S. squad in scoring at 16.2 points per game in just more than 18 minutes per game of action off the bench, turning should-be out-of-bounds plays into 40-foot alley-oops to Kobe, doing impersonations of Dominique Wilkins on breakaways.
The Microwave -- Vinnie Johnson -- never balled like this.
It's gotten to the point that teams are no longer playing against him but watching him play. Playing so well he should be in a VitaminWater commercial. He's got soul, and he is a soldier.
Maybe it's the No. 9 jersey he's wearing. Maybe the spirit of '92, of who wore the jersey then -- Michael Jordan. Maybe that's what has gotten into him. Maybe once he slid that jersey on, the essence of what it was like for Jordan -- when only two years ago the world was calling him the next Jordan -- entered his spirit?
And now, with a maximum of three games remaining, what's the world to do? How are the Australians, Argentinians and Lithuanians supposed to deal with the return of this Jedi? Is there anything they can do? The spirit of Jordan staring them in the face, pushing the ball down their throats, imposing a personal will on top of the one of redemption the whole team came to China with.
Because the remaining teams in the basketball world must deal with this newly reincarnated D-Wade fact: Yes, there is a difference between someone who is playing the best basketball and someone who is the game's best player, but what do you do when that player becomes one?

The Unbroken was a secret otokodate of Tainted ronin. It was created in the 12th century by a small group of ronin and the Ashlim, a powerful Naga Jakla. They are the sworn enemies of the Shadowlands, and by fighting the creature they can cleanse themselves of the taint. [1]
History Edit
Before the Clan Wars, a band of thirty ronin ventured into the Shadowlands in hopes of defeating a monster and gaining fealty of the Crab Clan during a Twenty Goblin Winter. [2] However, they were unprepared for the danger and many were killed and the dozen left over were all tainted. The now smaller group fled past the Kaiu Kabe into the Shinomen Mori.
In the forest, the ronin were discovered by a group of recently awakened Naga, lead by the Ashlim, a Jakla. The Naga quickly captured the ronin. Even though they were tainted, Ashlim saw how the ronin worked for each other as a single mind and was reminded of the Akasha. He entered a deal with the ronin, if they would help him study the taint, he would cure them of their corruption. At first many of the ronin's taint grew out of control and they had to be killed. But, Ashlim then created a variant of the Naga immunization process against the Taint. The spell slowed the taint but greatly shortened the human's life span to a single year. Ashlim refined the spell more and the cure the ronin were hoping for became a reality.
By turning their chi against the taint in meditation they could reverse the taint, but their time was limited. Instead, they personalized the battle of the taint by destroying the minions of the Shadowlands. If they could kill enough of the tainted spawn before their short time was up, they could be completely cured of the taint. With this hope, the Unbroken were formed. [1]
Organization Edit
The Unbroken work as a single mind. Each ronin was willing to sacrifice themselves for another. Only a handful of the original ronin had become cured but they continued to fight alongside their comrades. The entire unit was small; to be sure there was enough time to redeem everyone. It had acquired new tainted ronin and some Naga warriors, but moved in secret. The entire unit was masked, to remind themselves there was no difference between the pure and the tainted in their ranks. They all must work together or they will all fall together. [1]
The band had formed and collapsed many times, re-organizing whenever a Tainted wave-man managed to unearth the secrets of its technique. [3]
Return to the Great Sleep Edit
When the Ashlim returned to the Great Sleep, the Unbroken sought the aid of the Ghedai when needed. [2]
Village Edit
The Unbroken built a village well into the Kaiu provinces, near where the Twilight Mountains met the Plains Above Evil, the Village of Broken Dreams. [4]
Yoritomo Kumiko Edit
In 1160 the Daughter of Storms, Yoritomo Kumiko joined the brotherhood. She was born tainted and sought a way to cleanse herself. [4]
Known Leaders Edit

by Peter Schiff, Euro Pacific Capital:
On August 30th, the European Union (EU) Commission ordered the Irish government to reclaim some $14.6 billion of so-called back taxes plus interest from Apple Inc. The order challenged sovereign tax authority within the EU and well-established international tax rules. The aggressive stance of the Commission set off a furor of high level political argument among taxing authorities and multinational companies accustomed to complex but legal international tax planning. Apple's case was big enough to place it at center stage in a simmering problem for governments in striking a balance between attracting businesses, creating jobs, generating taxes and deciding precisely what type of earnings can be taxed.
In a testament to how strange the taxing regimes have become, the Irish government has protested loudly and is reluctant to take the nearly 15 billion the EU says it is entitled. When small countries turn down such sums, it should be clear that the stakes are much higher.
With uncontrolled socialism and Keynesian monetary policies killing economic growth around the world, governments have ever greater need to wring revenue from the relatively stagnant pool of corporations and wealthy individuals. While the crackdown on personal tax havens, in Switzerland and the Channel Islands for instance, has been largely successful, corporations have become extremely adept using legal loopholes and creative international accounting to move revenues from high tax jurisdictions to countries where rates are lower. As of October, Reuters reported that U.S. based companies have some $2.1 trillion parked abroad in order to avoid high domestic taxes. Apparently Apple, the world's largest company by market capitalization, accounts for over $180 billion of this total.
The U.S. corporate tax rate of 35 percent is widely considered to be uncompetitive and even excessive when compared with Ireland's 12.5 percent rate (and even the 20 percent in the UK). It is an old adage that capital flows to where it is treated best. Ireland rolled out the red carpet for Apple, a decision that greatly benefited both.
Apple established a company in County Cork, Ireland in October 1980, sometime before Apple blossomed financially. Since then, Apple has become one of the largest taxpayers in the world and, according to its CEO, Tim Cook, the largest taxpayer in Ireland where it employs almost 6,000 people, mostly in high paying jobs, adding great benefit to the Irish economy both directly and by encouraging copycat corporations. (A Message to the Apple Community in Europe, 8/30/16)
In the last quarter, Apple paid nearly $3 billion in taxes or about $12 billion at an annual rate. Naturally, by using such mechanisms as licensing, pricing differentials and overhead allocations, profits, unlike sales revenues, are somewhat mobile. This is so especially since high value commerce evolved from trading physical goods to intellectual property.
The World Bank reports that in aggregate (2015) the EU is the world's second largest economy. However, despite its population of over 510 million, the EU has failed to spawn new technology giants such as Apple, Google, and Amazon. Many observers blame the socialist and over-regulated nature of the EU. Certainly these factors provided reasons for the Brexit vote in June 2016. Many feel that the Brexit vote may have persuaded EU officials to soften their regulatory aggression, out of fear of encouraging other countries to seek the exits. Regardless, for some two years, the unelected EU Commission has been investigating the theoretical tax liabilities of U.S. companies such as Apple, Google, Amazon, McDonald's and Starbucks.
Until August 30th, all EU member countries were free to establish their own tax regimes. The EU's order for Ireland to demand some $14.6 billion in 'back' taxes from Apple was an unexpected and unabashed power grab by unelected EU regulators over the democratic government of Ireland. The assessment did not result from the non-payment of an actual tax but on a theoretical tax that the EU Commission felt should have applied. This is a bold move.
EU Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager described the prior arrangements made between Apple and the Government of Ireland as an "inconsistency" or state aid, illegal under the EU rules. The Irish finance minister, Michael Noonan, said that his government would appeal the decision, adding that it was "…necessary to defend the integrity of our tax system; to provide tax certainty to business; and to challenge the encroachment of EU state aid rules into the sovereign Member State competence of taxation." (Lexology, Ronan Daly Jermyn, 8/31/16)

The Con PositionBefore establishing a suitable Con position I want to lay down some background information in order to establish a context for the ruling which came out of the Citizens United case. What we see is an ever increasingly complex series of regulations which made it more and more difficult for groups to express their political opinion. As the court viewed the maze of rulings, groups were at a disadvantage to determine whether or not their speech would be challenged by the FEC and this was having a repressive effect on free speech. Following the presentation of the background information, this analysis will establish three main contentions for the Con.
The following definition was provided in the Citizens United case:
An Important Definition
An electioneering communication is defined as "any broadcast, cable, or satellite communication" that "refers to a clearly identified candidate for Federal office" and is made within 30 days of a primary or 60 days of a general election. §434(f)(3)(A). The Federal Election Commission's (FEC) regulations further define an electioneering communication as a communication that is "publicly distributed." 11 CFR §100.29(a)(2) (2009). "In the case of a candidate for nomination for President . . . publicly distributed means" that the communication "[c]an be received by 50,000 or more persons in a State where a primary election . . . is being held within 30 days." §100.29(b)(3)(ii). Corporations and unions are barred from using their general treasury funds for express advocacy or electioneering communications. They may establish, however, a "separate segregated fund" (known as a political action committee, or PAC) for these purposes. U. S. C. §441b(b)(2). The moneys received by the segregated fund are limited to donations from stockholders and employees of the corporation or, in the case of unions, members of the union.
Prior to examining the Con position, it is necessary to understand some of the background which ultimately lead to the Citizen United ruling. A series of state laws restricting certain aspects of political speech were being challenged and lost in higher courts. These rulings had the effect of strengthening FEC oversight of political speech which was eventually seen as harming the right to free speech as protected by the first amendment.
The Austin v Michigan State Chamber of Commerce case in 1990 upheld the ban on Corporations spending their general treasury funds for political speech. Corporations were required to pay for their political speech through segregated funds set up for political purposes (the creation of a political action committee).
FEC Record:
"On March 27, 1990, the Supreme Court ruled that a Michigan state law prohibiting independent expenditures by corporations was constitutional. Reversing a Sixth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals decision in Austin v. Michigan State Chamber of Commerce, the Court said that the state could prohibit corporations from using their treasury funds to make independent expenditures in connection with state elections."
The Chamber of Commerce tried to argue the Michigan Law restricting their use of treasury funds violated first amendment free speech rights and fourteenth amendment "equal protection rights" since media corporations were not subject to the same restrictions (newspapers and news corporations could basically say what they want, whenever they wanted). The court did not agree with the Chamber of Commerce.
FEC Record:
First Amendment Issue
The Court held that the Michigan law, which permitted corporations to set up segregated political funds, was narrowly tailored to serve the compelling state interest of preventing the distortions in the political process that might result from allowing corporations to spend their general treasury funds to express their political views. "This potential for distortion," the Court said, "justifies §54(1)'s general applicability to all corporations"-regardless of their size or earnings-because all corporations "receive from the state the special benefits conferred by the corporate structure." Thus, the burden imposed on free speech by section 54(1) was permissible. [...]
Fourteenth Amendment Issue
Having clarified that a compelling state interest in preventing corruption justified the restrictions on political activity by corporations, the Court rejected the Chamber's arguments with respect to the application of the prohibition to unincorporated entities. Corporate status, the Court said, was a state-granted privilege that facilitated the amassing of wealth, the source of the threat of corruption.
The Court also affirmed that the limited "media exception" in the state law for news stories and editorials disseminated by corporations operating in any of the news media did not constitute a breach of equal protection because of the unique public informational and educational role that such organizations play. "The media exception ensures that the Act does not hinder or prevent the institutional press from reporting on and publishing editorials about newsworthy events."
Another case, McConnell v FEC add more context to the situation leading up to the Citizen United decision.
In early 2002, a many years-long effort by Senators John McCain and Russell Feingold to reform the way that money is raised for--and spent during-- political campaigns culminated in the passage of the Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act of 2002 (the so-called McCain-Feingold bill). Its key provisions were a) a ban on unrestricted ("soft money") donations made directly to political parties (often by corporations, unions, or well-healed individuals) and on the solicitation of those donations by elected officials; b) limits on the advertising that unions, corporations, and non-profit organizations can engage in up to 60 days prior to an election; and c) restrictions on political parties' use of their funds for advertising on behalf of candidates (in the form of "issue ads" or "coordinated expenditures").
In the McConnell case, the US Supreme Court answered "no" to the following questions -
Does the "soft money" ban of the Campaign Finance Reform Act of 2002 exceed Congress's authority to regulate elections under Article 1, Section 4 of the United States Constitution and/or violate the First Amendment's protection of the freedom to speak?
Do regulations of the source, content, or timing of political advertising in the Campaign Finance Reform Act of 2002 violate the First Amendment's free speech clause?
[...]Because the regulations dealt mostly with soft-money contributions that were used to register voters and increase attendance at the polls, not with campaign expenditures (which are more explicitly a statement of political values and therefore deserve more protection), the Court held that the restriction on free speech was minimal. It then found that the restriction was justified by the government's legitimate interest in preventing "both the actual corruption threatened by large financial contributions and... the appearance of corruption" that might result from those contributions.
In response to challenges that the law was too broad and unnecessarily regulated conduct that had not been shown to cause corruption (such as advertisements paid for by corporations or unions), the Court found that such regulation was necessary to prevent the groups from circumventing the law. Justices O'Connor and Stevens wrote that "money, like water, will always find an outlet" and that the government was therefore justified in taking steps to prevent schemes developed to get around the contribution limits.
The Court also rejected the argument that Congress had exceeded its authority to regulate elections under Article I, Section 4 of the Constitution. The Court found that the law only affected state elections in which federal candidates were involved and also that it did not prevent states from creating separate election laws for state and local elections.
The Austin and McConnell decisions became the basis of many state laws rejecting attempts by corporate and union entities from engaging in "electioneering communication" and restricted the funding sources for any such political speech with the exception of media corporations, because of their "unique public informational and educational role". Additionally, because of the wording in the McCain-Feingold act, congress assumed power to regulate "express advocacy" aimed at candidates within 60 days of a general election. This "express advocacy" was distinct from "issue advocacy" directed to issues as opposed to candidates. This power then became challenged in the Wisconsin Right to Life v FEC case.
Wisconsin Right to Life (WRTL), a nonprofit political advocacy corporation, ran three advertisements encouraging viewers to contact two U.S. Senators and tell them to oppose filibusters of judicial nominees. WRTL intended to keep running the ads through the 2004 election, but the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 (BCRA) prohibits corporate funds from being used for certain political advertisements in the 60-day period prior to an election. WRTL sued the Federal Election Commission (FEC), claiming that the BCRA was unconstitutional as applied to the advertisements. In 2006, the Supreme Court let the "as applied" challenge proceed (see Wisconsin Right to Life v. Federal Election Commission, 04-1581). In McConnell v. Federal Election Commission, the Court had upheld Congress's power to regulate "express advocacy" ads that support or oppose political candidates, but WRTL claimed that its ads were "issue ads" rather than express advocacy. WRTL also argued that the government lacked a compelling interest sufficient to override the corporation's First Amendment free speech interest. The FEC countered that WRTL's ads were "sham issue ads," which refrain from explicitly endorsing or opposing a candidate but are intended to affect an election.
The Court ruled the WRTL ads were legitimate "issue ads". It appears the ruling signalled a shift in the thinking of the court toward guarding against excessive censorship of speech under the guise of limiting "electioneering communication".
Chief Justice John Roberts's majority opinion held that the ads were genuine issue ads, not express political advocacy or its functional equivalent (which Congress can concededly regulate). The Court held that McConnell v. FEC did not establish the test that any ad intended to influence an election and having that effect is express advocacy. Such a test would be open-ended and burdensome, would lead to bizarre results, and would "unquestionably chill a substantial amount of political speech." Instead, the Court adopted the test that "an ad is the functional equivalent of express advocacy only if the ad is susceptible of no reasonable interpretation other than as an appeal to vote for or against a specific candidate." The Court further held that the compelling state interests invoked by the government to regulate advocacy did not apply with equal force to genuine issue ads. Neither the interest in preventing corruption nor the goal of limiting the distorting effects of corporate wealth was sufficient to override the right of a corporation to speak through ads on public issues. This conclusion, the Court held, was necessary in order to "give the benefit of the doubt to speech, not censorship." The dissent by Justice Souter called WRTL's ads indistinguishable from political advocacy ads and accused the majority of implicitly overruling McConnell v. FEC.
When Being Chill is Not CoolPrior to Citizens United, a complex and confusing series of laws had been passed regulating political speech. Because organizations and corporations were not willing to face legal challenges from the FEC over their political communication, the obvious remedy would be to submit their political ads or campaign ideas to the FEC for prior approval. SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States) felt the maze of complex laws and the excessive regulatory power of the FEC was having a "chill" effect on free speech. Some organizations with-held their speech rather than face potential legal action from the FEC. Indeed, Justice Kennedy, writing in the majority opinion of Citizens United v FEC clarified the court opinion.
"This regulatory scheme may not be a prior restraint on speech in the strict sense of that term, for prospective speakers are not compelled by law to seek an advisory opinion from the FEC before the speech takes place. Cf. Near v. Minnesota ex rel. Olson, 283 U. S. 697, 712–713 (1931). As a practical matter, however, given the complexity of the regulations and the deference courts show to administrative determinations, a speaker who wants to avoid threats of criminal liability and the heavy costs of defending against FEC enforcement must ask a governmental agency for prior permission to speak. See 2 U. S. C. §437f; 11 CFR §112.1. These onerous restrictions thus function as the equivalent of prior restraint by giving the FEC power analogous to licensing laws implemented in 16th- and 17th-century England, laws and governmental practices of the sort that the First Amendment was drawn to prohibit.
[...] Because the FEC's "business is to censor, there inheres the danger that [it] may well be less responsive than a court—part of an independent branch of government—to the constitutionally protected interests in free expression." Freedman v. Maryland, 380 U. S. 51, 57–58 (1965). When the FEC issues advisory opinions that prohibit speech, "[m]any persons, rather than undertake the considerable burden (and sometimes risk) of vindicating their rights through case-by-case litigation, will choose simply to abstain from protected speech—harming not only themselves but society as a whole, which is deprived of an uninhibited marketplace of ideas." Virginia v. Hicks, 539 U. S. 113, 119 (2003) (citation omitted). Consequently, "the censor's determination may in practice be final."
While the court recognizes some limitations of free speech, there must be compelling reason to enact bans and any law which attempts to restrict speech content (as "political speech" defines the content of the communication) without meeting those compelling burdens will be subject to strict scrutiny. One such burden is the "clear and present danger" test defined in Schenk v US and discussed in the previous part of this analysis (The Pro Position). The court saw the restriction of corporate speech as an outright ban on free speech and did not see adequate relief from the ban provided by the fact corporations could form PACs.
The Right to Speak
Section 441b is a ban on corporate speech notwithstand ing the fact that a PAC created by a corporation can still speak. See McConnell, 540 U. S., at 330–333 (opinion of KENNEDY, J.). A PAC is a separate association from the corporation. So the PAC exemption from §441b's expenditure ban, §441b(b)(2), does not allow corporations to speak. Even if a PAC could somehow allow a corporation to speak—and it does not—the option to form PACs does not alleviate the First Amendment problems with §441b. PACs are burdensome alternatives; they are expensive to administer and subject to extensive regulations. [...] PACs have to comply with these regulations just to speak. This might explain why fewer than 2,000 of the millions of corporations in this country have PACs.
Since the court determined that independent PACs did not provide a legitmate avenue for corporate speech, the court addressed what it viewed as a ban on speech.
As a "restriction on the amount of money a person or group can spend on political communication during a campaign," that statute "necessarily reduces the quantity of expression by restrict ing the number of issues discussed, the depth of their exploration, and the size of the audience reached." Buckley v. Valeo, 424 U. S. 1, 19 (1976) (per curiam). Were the Court to uphold these restrictions, the Government could repress speech by silencing certain voices at any of the various points in the speech process. See McConnell, supra, at 251 (opinion of SCALIA, J.) (Government could repress speech by "attacking all levels of the production and dissemination of ideas," for "effective public communication requires the speaker to make use of the services of others"). If §441b applied to individuals, no one would believe that it is merely a time, place, or manner restriction on speech. Its purpose and effect are to silence entities whose voices the Government deems to be suspect.
As a strike against the Austin v FEC cases differentiating media from other forms of corporate speech, the court expressed its opinion.
Prohibited, too, are restrictions distinguishing among different speakers, allowing speech by some but not others. See First Nat. Bank of Boston v. Bellotti, 435 U. S. 765, 784 (1978). As instruments to censor, these categories are interrelated: Speech restrictions based on the identity of the speaker are all too often simply a means to control content. Quite apart from the purpose or effect of regulating content, moreover, the Government may commit a constitutional wrong when by law it identifies certain preferred speakers. By taking the right to speak from some and giving it to others, the Government deprives the disadvantaged person or class of the right to use speech to strive to establish worth, standing, and respect for the speaker's voice. The Government may not by these means deprive the public of the right and privilege to determine for itself what speech and speakers are worthy of consideration. The First Amendment protects speech and speaker, and the ideas that flow from each.
In the opinion of the court, it cited many precedences which established that first amendments rights extended to corporations.
Corporations are People Too
Under the rationale of these precedents, political speech does not lose First Amendment protection "simply because its source is a corporation." Bellotti, supra, at 784; see Pacific Gas & Elec. Co. v. Public Util. Comm'n of Cal., 475 U. S. 1, 8 (1986) (plurality opinion) ("The identity of the speaker is not decisive in determining whether speech is protected. Corporations and other associations, like individuals, contribute to the 'discussion, debate, and the dissemination of information and ideas' that the First Amendment seeks to foster" (quoting Bellotti, 435 U. S., at 783)). The Court has thus rejected the argument that political speech of corporations or other associations should be treated differently under the First Amendment simply because such associations are not "natural persons."

Consumers shifted from personal computers (PCs) to tablet computers and smartphones in 2013 and increasingly used cloud computing and streaming video. In daily life smartphone tracking became routine, and printing three-dimensional objects became more practical. The expanding use of tablet computers and smartphones over PCs resulted in a dramatic drop in PC sales during the year that was more precipitous than market watchers had expected. Early in 2013 research firm International Data Corp. (IDC) predicted a 1.3% decline in PC shipments, but by late in the year, the estimated drop had risen to 9.7%. At the same time, shipments of tablets grew at a slightly less-torrid rate than IDC had originally projected (57.7% instead of 59%), largely because some would-be tablet purchasers turned instead to new smartphones that featured larger screens than had previously been available. The shift in demand forced computer manufacturers to react. The Chinese company Lenovo Group, which in 2013 was...READ MORE

Six killed in Russian gas explosion
Six people were killed and six others injured when a gas explosion ripped through a building in a remote village in the Russian Far East, officials said.
"Unfortunately, six could not be saved," a spokeswoman for the local branch of the emergency ministry, Yana Ivanova, told AFP.
A total of thirteen people have been rescued and one person was considered missing, she added. Six survivors were currently in the hospital, one being in a critical condition.
The gas explosion hit the two-storey residential building in the village of Vozdvizhenka in the Primorsky region on the Russian Pacific coast shortly after midday on Thursday.
The four apartments have been fully destroyed but the residents have already returned to their homes after being evacuated earlier, officials said.
More than 70 rescuers have been involved in a race to clear the rubble and look for survivors. Authorities said the gas explosion had most likely caused the accident.

Sony will reportedly unveil the PlayStation 4 Neo at an event in New York on September 7.
French outlet Gameblog says that its sources say that the announcement will be made on this date, rather than during the Tokyo Game Show, which is also in September.
"Our sources are clear: Sony [is] planning an event next Wednesday, September 7 in New York. An event that we mentioned large enough to house a major announcement: the PS4 Neo," it wrote.
While Sony has confirmed that the console is in development, it is yet to reveal when it will be announced or go on sale. The Neo will reportedly include an improved GPU and CPU, which should offer enhanced visuals.
The site also speculates that the Nintendo NX could be unveiled one week later, the week of September 12.

Marketing Funnel Stages
The marketing funnel is a three stage theoretical representation of the buyer journey - top, middle, bottom. In order to be successful in modern digital marketing, companies need to have all parts of the funnel working together as no one part works well alone. Lets take a deeper at the marketing funnel and how you can optimize it for success
- Bottom - This is usually where your CRM is. At this stage a buyer is well into your marketing database and you should be constantly improving these relationships. CRM's allow your team to monitor the behavior of your contacts, and then reach out to them when they are qualified.
- Middle - This is where you should be leveraging marketing automation (Marketo, Eloqua, Hubspot) in order score and nurture known contacts with relevant content and personalized emails.
- Top - Currently there is disconnect between how buyers use pain points to search for solutions and how marketers are using keywords to describe their solutions. In order to close the content gap, marketers need a technology to intelligently prioritize campaign creation

Criminal Evidence and Human Rights
Edited by: Paul Roberts, Jill Hunter
Criminal procedure in the common law world is being recast in the image of human rights. The cumulative impact of human rights laws, both international and domestic, presages a revolution in common law procedural traditions. Comprising 16 essays plus the editors' thematic introduction, this volume - now available in paperback - explores various aspects of the 'human rights revolution' in criminal evidence and procedure in the US, Canada, England/Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, and South Africa. The contributors provide expert evaluations of their own domestic law and practice with frequent reference to comparative experiences in other jurisdictions. Some essays focus on specific topics, such as evidence obtained by torture, the presumption of innocence, hearsay, the privilege against self-incrimination, and 'rape shield' laws. Others seek to draw more general lessons about the context of law reform, the epistemic demands of the right to a fair trial, the domestic impact of supra-national legal standards (especially the European Court of Human Rights), and the scope for reimagining common law procedures through the medium of human rights. This collection showcases the latest theoretically informed, methodologically astute, and doctrinally rigorous scholarship in criminal procedure and evidence, human rights, and comparative law, and it is major addition to the literature in all of these fields.
