[edit] T. A. Leonard Barn

T.A. Leonard built this barn near Pullman, Washington in 1917 to replace his previous barn that had burned down. In 1986, although it had fallen into disrepair, the barn was listed on the Washington State Registry for Historic Preservation. In 2000-2001 the barn was restored by Bill Leonard, the grandson of T.A. Leonard, at a cost of over $90,000.

The barn's 12 sides have 30 windows and a large dormer. The 60-foot diameter structure has 3 levels inside. The main floor was used to house dairy cows and work horses and the upper levels held feed and tools. The story in the Spokesman Review tells of the kids using the barn as a playground.

This photo captures the beauty of one of the few remaining round barns in Washington State. There is even a partial rainbow on the left side.

[edit] Major Kuldip Singh Chandpuri, MVC

Major K.S. Chandpuri was commanding a company of a battalion of Punjab Regiment occupying a defended locality in Laungnewala in the Rajasthan Sector. On 5th December 1971, in the early hours of the morning, the enemy launched a massive attack on this locality with infantry and tanks.

Major Chandpuri exhibited dynamic leadership in holding his command intact and steadfast. Showing exceptional courage and determination, he inspired his men moving from bunker to bunker encouraging them in beating back the enemy till reinforcements arrived.

In this heroic defence, he inflicted heavy casualties on the enemy and forced them to retreat leaving behind twelve tanks. In this action, Major Chandpuri displayed conspicuous gallantry and leadership.

[edit] Plastic Venus

Plastic Venus were the musical expression of a large section of angry and defiant Israeli youths in the early 90's. Combining noise rock guitars, relentless drumming and the inimitable performance style of singer Ronit Bergman (often leading to gigs meeting an early ending), the band appeared in numerous small venues in Tel Aviv to an increasing following.

The first Plastic Venus album (originally released in 1993 through 3rd Ear and later remastered and reissued by Fact records) is a testament to that period and a glaring example of a true noise-rock classic.

The original line-up of the band included, besides Bergman, Guitarist Yoram Gur, Bassist Hagar Magen and drummer Ilan "Diamond" Leibowitz. After the completion of the recordings for their debut album, the band (sans Diamond, who sadly passed away in 2005) moved to London and went on touring Europe and eventually recording Helven Park (for producer Colin Newman's Swim records) in 1995.

[edit] Imago Records

Imago Records, an American label, formed in 1990 by Terry Ellis, was a joint venture with BMG. In its four years of operation it signed six artists who sold over 100,000 units of their debut albums in the US alone: Baby Animals, Captain Hollywood, The Rollins Band, Aimee Mann, Paula Cole, and Love Split Love. Of those, Baby Animals’ first record sold 500,000 worldwide (4 times platinum in Australia) and the Rollins Band sold 250,000 units in the US on their first and 500,000 on their second albums. The label was to issue Kylie Minogue's eponymously titled 1994 album in the USA but, as the joint venture with BMG (Minogue's international label) was dissolved in 1994 the album never appeared. Terry Ellis retained ownership of the Imago catalogue and artist contracts.

[edit] The Amory Wars

Once known as The.Bag.Online.Adventures., The Amory Wars is the re-titled, 5 part saga of the characters Coheed and Cambria and their universe, as originated in the music of the band Coheed and Cambria, and more specifically, by their frontman Claudio Sanchez. Having previously discontinued a comic series by artist Wes Abbott after only 2 issues, and having not been satisfied with a graphic novel by artist Christopher Shy, Claudio has now teamed with artist Gus Vazquez to hopefully tell the story of Coheed and Cambria once and for all.

The new title of the series was announced about one week prior to the 2006 Comic-Con in California. Claudio and all three artists that have been involved with the project attended the convention to man the Evil Ink booth (the comic company created to release Claudio's story), selling the remaining copies of the discontinued comics and graphic novel, as well as an all-new Amory Wars Sketchbook created to announce and give insight into the new direction of the series. The sketchbook included a preview of Gus Vazquez's illustration work for the main characters, a rough script for the contents of the first actual entry in the comic series (due out February 2007), updated character profiles, and a biography of creator Claudio Sanchez. Though a limited run of the sketchbook was available at the convention ($10 per book), it may or may not see a reprint in the future.

(Details on the story to be posted by someone who bought the book)

Murule come from the larger Gugundhabe sub-clan of the Hawiyes of Somalia.Gugundhabe is composed of ( Murulle, Baddicadde, Jajeele) and live in the larger Hiiraan region of Somalia. [7] written in Somali.

Some people normally confuse the grouping of Gugundhabe of the larger Hawiye group as composing Baadicadde + Jeejeele + Dagoodie + Jidle + Galjecel but this is a wrong notion.Degodia and Galjecel are in a different grouping altogether.Other sons of Gugundhabe are Jidle, Jidible,Jiryar, Jilideen.

Murule's history in Kenya dates back close to 120 years after they shifted with their enormous livestock from Somalia and settled in the tip of Kenya, Mandera Region in or around 1895.

Among notable Murule people in Kenya are the Assistant minister of Local Government for urban authorities, Hon.Shaaban Ali Issack, Mandera East MP. [8]

The following were named in the Interim Somali Government representing Hiiraan, the home of Gugundhabe people.

[edit] Charles Gibbs

Charles Gibbs was an American pirate who began his career as a privateer in the US Navy during the War of 1812. In subsequent years he became a privateer for America, eventually becoming captain of his own ship.

Gibbs is, oddly, remembered for both his cruelty as well as an odd streak of kindness. Although he confessed to slaughtering whole crews when sacking ships- a number that reportedly totaled over fourhundred men- he occasionally took prisoners. One such prisoner was a teenaged Dutch girl who had been aboard one of the vessles Gibbs and his crew had raided. Rather than kill her, Gibbs brought her aboard his own ship (probably hoping to ransom her) and defended her from his crew. Unable to lay a hand on her, the crew eventually resorted to poisoning the girl.

Gibbs was eventually captured and hanged at Ellis Island, NY in 1831. His final words were: "No mercy did we ever show, for dead men tell no tales." So it is Gibbs we have to thank for that famous saying.

The character first mate <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joshamee_Gibbs">Joshamee Gibbs</a> in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirates_of_the_Caribbean:_The_Curse_of_the_Black_Pearl">"Pirates of The Caribbean: Curse of The Black Pearl"</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirates_of_the_Caribbean:_Dead_Man%27s_Chest">"Pirates of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest"</a> (played by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_McNally">Kevin McNally</a>) appears to have been based on the historical pirate Charles Gibbs. Mr. Gibb's attire and hairstyle are curiously modern compared to the rest of the cast. His muttonchop whiskers and 19th century American Naval outfit appear to have been copied from likenesses said to be of Charles Gibbs. Also, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joshamee_Gibbs">Joshamee Gibbs</a> supserstitious aversion to bringing women aboard may be a reference to the difficulties the historical Charles Gibbs encountered when he brought the Dutch girl on board.

[edit] David & the Giants

David & the Giants were truly pioneers in the early days of Contemporary Christian music. David Huff & his twin brothers, Rayborn & Clayborn, were born into the Kingdom of God in 1977 & spent the next 20+ years ministering in churches across the U.S. & around the world. During this time, D&G also had many other members such as Keith Thibodeaux on drums from 1979-1989, as well as Lance Huff, Kellye Huff, Gerald Hagan, & Dennon Dearman. While David W. Huff continues his career as a solo artist, the Huff brothers do continue to perform on occasion as, David & the Giants. In the 60's & 70's, David & the Giants were a very successful Rock 'n' Roll band, & played with many famous groups & artists such as; Styx, Black Oak Arkansas, Cheech & Chong, The Rolling Stones, Rod Stewart, Chuck Berry & Stevie Wonder to name a few. They had many regional hits including, "Ten Miles High" & "Superlove. Their drummer, Keith Thibodeaux, was the former Little Ricky on the "I Love Lucy" show. Keith would eventually leave D&G because of his decision to serve the Lord, but would later re-join the new "Christian" David & the Giants in 1979. Here's a list of some of the songs released by D&G on 45s back in the secular days:

Rockin' Robin / I'll Always Love You (1963-64?? David doesn't remember!) On Bended Knees / Someday You're Gonna Be Sorry (1967) Ten Miles High / I'm Down So Low (1968) Superlove / Rolling In My Sleep (1968) A Letter To Josephine / Supergood Feeling (1970) Love 'em & Leave 'em / Don't Say No (1970)

Solo releases by David W. Huff:

Mary Browne / When It Rains (1972) Glory Hallelujah / The Apple Song (1973) Sweet Marjorene / Don't Kill Me (1977)

Released on BANG Records by Muscle Shoals Horns:

Born To Get Down / Hustle To The Music (1976)

These songs seem to be "mystery" songs that were released on 45s according to David Huff, but no one seems to have ever seen them:

GROOVY KIND OF LOVE FOOL NUMBER ONE I NEED LOVE I'LL MAKE IT 'TIL TOMORROW IT'S GOTTA BE LOVE LIGHTS OUT THEN OUR LOVE WILL START OVER WITHOUT YOUR LOVE

There seems to be a lot of confusion as to the D&G discography. The albums released are as follows:

1977 - SONG OF SONGS 1978 - THIS ONE'S FOR YOU 1979 - STEP IN MY SHOES 1980 - ALMOST MIDNIGHT 1981 - HEAVEN OR HELL 1982 - DAVID & THE GIANTS 1983 - RIDERS IN THE SKY 1984 - INHABITANTS OF THE ROCK 1985 - UNDER CONTROL 1987 - MAGNIFICAT 1988 - STRANGERS TO THE NIGHT 1989 - R U GONNA STAND UP 1990 - DISTANT JOURNEY 1992 - LONG TIME COMING 1993 - GIANT HITS 1995 - ANGELS UNAWARE 1996 - DREAM 2000 - REALLY 2003 - PROCLAIM 2004 - PROCLAIM (Reissused on CHRISTIAN Records)

Many people are not aware that "Song of Songs" was David & the Giants' first Christian album, recorded in 1977, the same year that they were born into the kingdom of God. The first 4 albums featured a 4th member of D&G, Gerald Hagan, who played piano & later went on to produce many Christian albums. Gerald has since passed away, but his beautiful piano playing can still be heard on these classic recordings. This album contains the original version of the song, "Save Me", as later recorded on David Huff's "Really" album in 2000. David once said that the music to "Save Me" on this album was the original music that was to be used for the secular release of this song. Another former secular song by D&G, "Glory Hallelujah", is also included on this album.

In 1978, David & the Giants released their second album, "This One's For You". This album contains the original studio version of the song, "Noah", as well as many other classic D&G tunes such as "He's Coming Back". In the early Christian days, D&G were without a drummer. Keith Thibodeaux, the former Little Ricky from the "I Love Lucy" show did not rejoin the band until 1979. Thus, the first 3 Christian albums by D&G feature Owen Hale, a left-handed drummer, on drums. This album, unlike all of those that would follow, is the only one that was recorded at "Studio In The Country" in the state of LA. All future albums were done at Huff studios in Laurel, and later Forest, MS.

"Step In My Shoes", the 3rd Christian release by David & the Giants, has a depth & an anointing unlike any other D&G release. David once said that this was always one of his personal favorites, partly because it was the first to be recorded totally at Huff studios in Laurel. This album features Gerald Hagan on lead vocals on one song, "The End Of Time". This is the only D&G song that does not feature David on lead vocals.

1979 marked the year of Keith Thibodeaux's return to David & the Giants. The following year, in 1980, D&G released their 4th album, "ALMOST MIDNIGHT", which contains many D&G favorites such as, "The Well", "Ten Miles High", (a former secular tune) and "Holy Rain" which was recorded live, and also appears on David's latest solo project entitled, "Proclaim". "ALMOST MIDNIGHT" is the only D&G album that contains live recordings. Another live recording from the album, "Upper Room Experience", is also fan favorite.

"The Lord called us to be evangelists through our ministry of music, and that is what we still are today. We love to see people give their hearts to the Lord and to be born again of water and the Spirit. This is the greatest thrill in our lives because this is what makes the Lord happy." -- David Huff, from the book entitled, "Four Giant Steps" 1988

CURRENT CTL PROJECTS


CTL NYC is committed to bringing quality and engaging documentary and newsworthy media to the masses through a variety of outlets, both private and public.

Below are some of our current documentary projects currently in production. Please feel free to discuss any productions with others at our new Message Board.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM CTLNYC

DUE TO the recent flood of phone calls, faxes, emails, and letters, CTL has employed additional associates to assist with responses. It is CTL's policy to ensure each correspondence is responded to personally.

SPECIAL NOTICE: We have received donations in the mail to fund this documentary. CTL cannot accept monetary assistance. Additionally, CTL has received checks made payable to Msgr. Jarmoluk's Legal Fund. CTL is not associated with Msgr. Jarmoluk's Legal Fund. All checks received by CTL have been returned to senders via certified mail.

UPDATE: Requests for on-camera interviews pertaining to “Forsaken”. We value your opinions and requests. CTL, working with its' script supervisors and producers, has agreed to arrange a filming of a "Town Hall Meeting," to accommodate those who have requested individual interviews. Currently, we are searching for a venue in the Geneva, Illinois area that can seat 400. When plans are finalized you will receive a taping schedule and program in the mail. Tickets will be issued for the Town Hall Meeting in the order that we have received requests for an interview.

CTL's radio call in show will soon be on the air. Check back daily for more information.

Again, CTL thanks you for your overwhelming interest in Forsaken.


Ballot Bouncing: Adding up the 2004 election.An in depth look into the controversy surrounding the 2004 elections questioning the validity of false registration, miscounts, and a bi-partisan war waged over voters ballots.

Chemtrails: a hidden path to disaster. A special expose analyzing various sources of data regarding the validity of the governments use of Chemical Atmospheric Manipulation (CAM). We go undercover to some of the most secretive labs and government facilities to bring out what could possibly be one of the most horrifying stories of the decade.

UPDATE from the field!!!

Probing deeper into the Chemtrails story our CTL associates are currently collecting first hand testimonies from individuals who bellieve they have been affected by the CAM procedure. Anyone that would like to be part of this expose please contact our line producer Mike Cosgrove to schedule an interview. Interviews will be scheduled begining July 28th ending September 1st.

Forsaken: a Monsignor's silent fight to save his faith.


An affluent, pioneering Midwestern Catholic parish, affected by the clergy abuse crisis, is the setting for this incredible story. Despite endless media attacks over a two year period, wrongful accusations by people including a city's mayor, an FBI agent, a State's Attorney, and other highly influential and powerful individual's attempts to silence him, a loyal Monsignor continues to shepherd his parish through these trying times. We uncover the real facts concerning a calculated conspiracy to ruin the pastor's leadership and priesthood, those who have misplaced the blame and the reasons why they wanted to point the finger at someone else.

UPDATE from the field!!!

June 6th 2006: Having gone to the Kane County Courthouse we have a new development in the story as we continue to uncover the truth. Rockford Diocese lawyer Rozovichs has spoken to the judge in chambers regarding the Allison Ward settlement case. ALSO we had a wonderful opportunity to speak with both Mrs. Kate Bochte and Mrs. Mary Lou O'Halloran, who were able to shed real light into what is really going on in this suspicious case. What was seemingly a one sided slant against a Parish is now becoming a large scale scandal that reaches as far up as the Bishop himself. More facts to develop later as we are able to interview more individuals connected with the case, and get to the real truth of the situation.

UPDATE from the field!!!

We mentioned in our June 6th update that CTL interviewed Mrs. Kate Bochte and Mrs. Mary Lou O'Halloran. That posting was nothing short of a lighting strike. The Bochte and O'Halloran mention generated a tremendous influx of phone calls, letters, faxes and emails providing our staff with hard documents, tips, personal observations, opinions, past newspaper articles, letters and unique bio information. Watch for short selected video highlights of the Bochte and O'Halloran interview.

CTL's cameras where in St. Louis, Missouri this week. CTL interviewed Canice Timothy Rice, Monsignor Jarmoluk's personal attorney. Two full days of intense and terse questions and answers provide riveting insight. Mr. Rice supplemented his interview with voluminous records, demand letters and general correspondence which shed further light on this developing documentary. CTL will post a selected sample of Mr. Rice's demand letters and critical documents with video excerpts in the following days.

WEEK OF JUNE 19th THE FIRST OF SEVEN SERIES MARK CAMPOBELLO

CTL will be on site, in Mark Campobello's hometown, profiling the man who became a catholic priest in the Rockford Diocese. We will examine through the eyes of his classmates, relatives and associates his early childhood, his school years and religious training.

Executive Producer's Note

CTL has received many, many inquiries over the past week, attributable to Mary Lou O'Halloran. Mrs. O'Halloran has contacted individuals, newspaper reporters, religious officials, attorneys and staff of CTL to voice demands, complaints and insist that CTL produce this documentary according to her view. Many of these individuals have called CTL to ask questions on behalf of Mrs. O'Halloran. CTL recognizes the past historical and current modus operandi of Mrs. O'Halloran. CTL has previously interviewed those who know Mrs. O'Halloran. Additional interviews are being added to our production schedule. Focused lenses and interviews will determine Mrs. O'Halloran's influence or lack thereof, on the administration of the Rockford Diocese, priests and religious, members of St. Peter, St. Patrick, Holy Cross and John Newman Parishes, newspapers, government officials, people of Geneva, St. Charles and surrounding Illinois communities. CTL will highlight an inside look at each individual member, and the collective effects or failures of "The Group of 14". CTL will show you the past and current hype and myth, then the real.

Due to overwhelming response and requests to participate in this documentary, CTL will implement a 24/7 Message Board (click here for usage rules and guidelines) and radio call-in talk show specific to FORSAKEN. Check this site for time and dates. Become a part of this documentary. Please mail, fax or email information and comments. Allow 5-7 working days for response and scheduling.

Special thanks to our readers who informed our staff that Mrs. O'Halloran was passing out informational sheets on behalf of SNAP at the Chicago Cathedral, June 11, 2006. We investigated. It did not take long to find members of the Chicago Cathedral who agreed to be interviewed.

Jordan Water Crisis: Al Arza's glass is half empty. Our foreign correspondents working independently of their BBC roots takes a harrowing look inside of a town that is being starved of water because of their religious beliefs.

UPDATE from the field!!!

Our BBC team has hit a bit of hard ground out on location, facing tremendous resistance from local governments. They will keep pressing forward despite a huge snag in shooting schedule. We wish them all the best and are letting them know that we are behind them 110%.

UPDATE from the field!!!

Congratz on all the hard and dangerous work out corrospondents have done this last year in producing the Jordan Water Crisis segment for our global media team. Currently they are reviewing their primary footage hopefull that they have obtained more then enough to forge an amazing story. Post production to start shortly, ready for Cannes next year.

Grounded: a Union's failure to protect. 5 years after the September 11 attacks the airline industry is still struggling to keep it's financial head above water. At it's core it is the companies workforce that is doing all the paddling, but it's muscle, their local mechanist and worker union, is slowly loosing strength.

Update from the field!!!

June 7th 2006: after the June 1st Continental Airline ratification of a new contract that preserves pay rates, establishes job security and provides a defined benefit pension plan through the IAM National Pension Plan. Kevin Hufford IAM rep from loc 106 seeks movement that will make this groundbreaking agreement a standard for all IAM represented workers.

Update from the field!!!

June 22nd 2006: an exceptional job to the CTL LA crew who were able to field over 60 interviews with key players in the AIM and Alternative LAbor Unions these past months. With over 200 hours of footage our editors have their work cut out for them, but the coverage on this story will not be sacrificed. Great job everyone for wrapping a tremendous project, one which we hope will open communication between employers not only in the Airline industry but globally.


CTL NYC is constantly producing the highest quality independent, documentary programming for the free market. Our contention is to report the news accurately, and maintain that all views and opinions expressed in any CTL NYC production never reflect those of the producers or associates of the company. Without filtration, it is our pledge to seek out the untold truths and educate both those that choose to listen, and those that refuse to learn.

Gantu set him free, and Lilo and Stitch found him.

Slick was rescued, but Lilo had to give up the contest by giving her last chocolate bar to Gantu as a swap for Slick. Slick is given to a fundraiser, so he works for charity now, not profit.

Puddles Leroy & Stitch
Decrisper Leroy & Stitch
Skip A purple hourglass-shaped experiment designed to skip time by 10 minutes so Jumba does not have to wait so long for his leftovers to cook. But there was an error in his program - he skips time by ten years so it will actually seem that you disappeared for ten years. Fortunately, he has a reset button. Lilo used him to jump ahead 10 years, then 20 years later to be an adult. But since Lilo & Stitch were gone for 20 years, no one was there to catch experiments, except for Gantu.

Finder can even fly (as a helicopter does-he spins his ears atop his head as rotor blades) if necessary in order to find what he has been asked to locate. His one true place is operating a "Lost and Found" service on the beach. Was in the rescue party for "snafu" 130

177 Purple Clip 177 looks like a small yellow hairball with a pink bow and long scissor-like claws. She eats hair. She was originally created to eat uburnium an efficient, cheap, and abundant fuel used in outer space in order to create a fuel crisis. However, it turned out that in Jumba's native language, "uburnium" sounds like or is the same word as "hair", so the ends up eating Jumba's hair instead of the uburnium. As 177 eats more hair, she grows larger and larger and can only be tamed by shampoo and hair conditioning products. Lilo and Stitch find Clip's true place at the beauty salon. 112

Angel Angel is a pink female experiment with a strong feminine resemblance to Stitch; has long antennae on head, violet-tipped ears and antennae, small eyelashes and a white V-shaped symbol on her chest (should mean villan). She sings a song that turns 'good' experiments (i.e. rehabilitated experiments) to 'bad' (i.e. evil). Stitch and Reuben are immune to this, as they were made after her. The spell can ahe be reversed by Angel singing the song in reverse or by playing a recording of it backwards. She also has a beautiful voice. At first, Stitch saw Angel as an angel, so he named her Angel. Angel pretended to like him, but was luring him into a big trap. Upon seeing her, Stitch immediately fell in love, leaving him unable to realize what might have otherwise been guessed -- Angel is working for Gantu! In the end, she falls for Stitch and changes her ways, but is nonetheless captured by Gantu but later rescued in "Snafu" and makes another appearance in "Leroy and Stitch" when Angel whiped out a couple of the leroy clones; saving Stitch. Angel was also seen in "Remmy" Dancing in a congo line with several other Experiments. Angel's last appearance was in Leroy and Stitch saying "aloha" for a picture in Lilo's photo album. 624
Reuben A golden experiment (in the Disney Adventures Magazine Comics before Lilo & Stitch, he was blue) that looks like a fatter version of Stitch; has short ears, three small antennae and two flat teeth sticking out of his mouth. Has all the powers of Stitch, but is too lazy to use them. He loves sandwiches and unlike most of the other experiments, speaks English with a hint of a Brooklyn accent. Reuben serves as Gantu's wisecracking sidekick during the series, and after recieving his name and working alongside Lilo in Leroy & Stitch, he finds his one true place is alongside a newly recomissioned (and redeemed) Captain Gantu as his Galley Officer. 625
Stitch A blue, koala-like experiment with large ears, a wide mouth, a round nose, and black eyes who is virtually indestructible, can think faster than a supercomputer, has super sight and hearing, and can lift objects 3000 times his own weight (but not an ounce more), but he has a heart of gold. His only weakness is water, as he cannot swim due to his molecular density. Has two extra, retractable arms, three retractable spines that run down his back, and two antennae on his head (also retractable). His one true place is, of course, as Lilo's "dog." He is the most successful experiment Jumba has made. 626
Klitch A red experiment with a cone-shaped head that looks like a bigger, badder, and very bad-mannered version of Stitch. Has all the strengths of Stitch and 20 other experiments, but none of their weaknesses, and absolutely cannot be turned to good. All 627 can say is "evil". 627's powers include telekinesis, eletricity and ice breath. His only apparent weakness is his loud, uncontrollable laughter. Has four extra retractable arms, retractable spines that run down his back, and an extra retractable head. Even though seemingly "indestructible", 627 was outwitted and shrunk back into an experiment pod by Stitch and Lilo, using a commercially available home food dehydrator. He served as Stitch's bitter, villainous rival. 627 looks very similar to Leroy. 627
Leroy Stitch's evil twin, possessing all his powers as well as the ability to disguise himself as Stitch' by changing his fur from red to blue. Hämsterveil forced Jumba to make him but' Jumba snuck in an "off" switch: Leroy deactivates wheneer he hears the song Aloha Oe. This proves to be hi downfall after he captures and battles all 626 experiments that are on Earth. After his deafeat, Leroy and his clones are all placed in jail with Hämsterveil. Leroy looks like a red version of Stitch with frilly ears and bent antennae. 628

The Old '76 House is located on 110 Main St, Tappan, New York - Tel: (845) 359-5476, just past the village green near the light at the center of town is not simply one of America's oldest taverns. It is of particular interest to Maybee/Mabie/Mabee researchers. The Maybees were a much-divided family during the American Revolutionary War. Casparus Mabie, a cousin of the Loyalist Maybees, built The Old '76 House, then known as "Mabie's Inn", the home of Yoast Mabie in 1755. The Orangetown Resolutions were adopted at Yoast Mabie's home on July 4th 1774, two years prior to the date of adopting the Declaration of Independence

The Old '76 House was often used during The American Revolutionary War. Through its long use as a meeting place for patriots, The Old '76 House established itself as safe ground for Americans in the mist of the revolution and also served as the "prison" of the Revolution's most notorious spy as denoted by the historical marker in the front, Major John André.

The Old '76 House, although often referred to as "André's Prison", was not a real prison nor used as a place of incarceration for anyone before or since.

The Old '76 House in 1800, become a tavern and has been a place of shelter for tired travelers for more than two hundred years. This great tavern has accommodated on various occasions, every General of the west wing of the Continental Army including Commander-in-Chief General George Washington who, with his chief provisioner Samuel Fraunces, owner of Fraunces Tavern in New York City, dined in the comfortable atmosphere of The Old '76 House.

Unfortunately, the young Italian was forced to decline the offer due to family commitments. Having lived in Singapore for 5 years, Rohregger developed his amazing football skills under the watchful eye of his friend, coach and goalkeeper, Asif Abbas. Many Italian football commentators regard Rohregger as a potentially potent force in international football but his desire to maintain links with his hometown has often prevented him from playing outside of North Italy.

[edit] The Journey of The Volunteers 1894-1995

The Hong Kong Regiment also known as The Volunteers was formed in May 1854 when the Crimean War led to a reduction of the British military presence in Hong Kong. To help bolster the defenses at a time when marauding pirates were still a hazard on the China coast local volunteers were called for. A total of 99 Europeans were recruited-mostly British, but with some Portuguese, Scandinavians and Germans.

3 September 1995 - The Royal Hong Kong Regiment (The Volunteers) disbanded.

The Sino-British Joint Declaration on the Question of Hong Kong was signed in Beijing on December 19, 1984. On May 27, 1985, instruments of ratification were exchanged and the agreement entered into force. It was registered at the United Nations by the British and Chinese Governments on June 12, 1985.

In April 1992 the decision was finally taken by Security Branch of Hong Kong Government to formally announce that the Regiment would disband in September 1995.

1854 - disbanded The volunteers disbanded when Stability in Europe.

1862 - Hong Kong Volunteers In this year the Volunteers regrouped, In 1864, they were called out to help subdue a serious outbreak of rioting between British and Indian soldiers. 1866 - disbanded The second period in arms lasted only another four years; enthusiasm again diminished with the return to more settled times.

1878 - Hong Kong Artillery and Rifle Volunteer Corps In 1878, they were raised again as the Artillery Volunteers and since that time a volunteer force has been permanently in existence in Hong Kong.

1917 - Hong Kong Defence Corps The volunteers were actively engaged in guard and patrol duties during World War I when, owing to the recall of the British forces, they were the only military unit left in Hong Kong.

1920 - Hong Kong Volunteer Defence Corps In 1933, the volunteers acquired their first armoured car-Ford chassis, costing $1,500. It was equipped with an armour-plated body and mountings for two machine-guns. Later, four other chassis were bought by the government the bodywork being constructed by the Hong Kong and Whampoa Dock Company. The original armoured car was scrapped before the outbreak of World War II, but the remaining four all played an important role in the Battle for Hong Kong in December 1941 .

1941 - Hong Kong captured by the Japanese The volunteers, renamed the Hong Kong Volunteer Defence Corps, met their severest test in the bitter fighting that took place in the crucial weeks before the fall of Hong Kong on Christmas Day. Out of the mobilised strength of 2 200 of all ranks, 289 were listed either as missing or killed, and many others became prisoners of war. Some, however, made their way into China where the British Army Aid Group was formed to assist the Chinese Government in the struggle against the Japanese. A further group made its way to Burma where it joined the famed Chindits under General Orde Wingate. The services of the defence corps were later recognised by the award of 19 decorations and 18 mentions in despatches for gallantry and good service.

1949 In 1949, the Hong Kong Regiment were reorganized and became part of the Hong Kong Defence Force, which also included separate air and naval units.

1950 New regiment's headquarters are located at Happy Valley on Hong Kong Island.

1951 The new combined defence force was granted the title 'Royal', and replacement colours were entrusted to the care of the regiment as successor to the defunct Defence Corps.

1957 The services of the defence corps during WWI were recognised by the award of the battle honour 'Hong Kong'.

1961 - The Hong Kong Regiment (The Volunteers) The role of The Hong Kong Regiment (The Volunteers) changed from that of an infantry battalion to a reconnaissance regiment six British Ferret armour cars (equipped with .30-inch machine-guns) were acquired. The regiment was reorganize to form a headquarters, headquarters squadron, three reconnaissance squadrons, an infantry company and a home guard company.

1967 The Volunteers were called out during the six-month disturbances in Hong Kong.

1970 - The Royal Hong Kong Regiment (The Volunteers) The naval unit was phased out and in 1970 the Royal Hong Kong Defence Force was itself disbanded-the two remaining member units, the Hong Kong Regiment and the Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force, officially becoming separate entities. At the same time, both were granted the 'Royal' title by Queen Elizabeth, and the words The Volunteers' were incorporated into the Hong Kong Regiment's title.


1971 Partly because the modern-day regiment had, since 1961, been organized and trained as a light reconnaissance unit and partly because the original Hong Kong Defence Force no longer existed in its old form, it was decided that the regiment should have new colours. So, with the approval of the Queen, the single guidon of a reconnaissance unit was presented in 1971.

1979 The regiment was called out on June 16, 1979, to assist the civil powers over the problem of illegal immigration from China. At times as many as 130 men were deployed in the border area for periods of not less than three days.

1980 In mid-October 1980, the regiment was deployed on the border for a week in lieu of the autumn camp and achieved considerable success in apprehending 555 illegal immigrants; more than one per volunteers on duty. On 24 October, a few days after the border tour, the Governor ordered a full call out of the regiment in the wake of his announcement of the end of the 'reached base' policy, to bolster the security forces in the event of a massive influx of illegal immigrants during the following three-day grace period. Since 1980, the regiment has returned to the border annually to relieve the Regular Army, and will continue with this deployment by relieving the police twice a year as from 1 992 onwards.

1991 The Regiment has played an important role in manning temporary accommodation for Vietnamese migrants. The most recent Operation Midwife, on Shek Kwu Chau, lasted for 5 months from June to November1991.

[edit] NSCA Certification Commission

The NSCA Certification Commission, the certifying agency for the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), offers two credentials for fitness professionals. The Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist® (CSCS®) and NSCA-Certified Personal Trainer® (NSCA-CPT®) certifications are considered the Credentials of Distinction in the strength training and conditioning and personal training professions. These certification exams focus on the “real-world” responsibilities of personal trainers and strength training and conditioning professionals.

The exams are considered to be the most difficult in the industry to earn, which is one of the reasons why they are highly respected and why those who have acquired these credentials display them with a great deal of pride. The CSCS and NSCA-CPT credentials have gained the reputation among employers and industry experts as being the most respected and preferred fitness-related credentials. The exams have been validated; this process signifies that individuals are tested over the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary to be competent in their respective professional career areas.

One factor that distinguishes the NSCA’s certifications from other certifications is the fact that the CSCS and the NSCA-CPT are the only fitness-related credentials to be nationally accredited since 1993 and 1996, respectively, through the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA), the credentialing branch of the National Organization for Competency Assurance (NOCA). Based in Washington, D.C., the NCCA measures the ability of certifying organizations in any industry to accurately discriminate between qualified and unqualified professionals. To earn the recognition of the NCCA, a credentialing body must demonstrate an ability to develop and administer psychometrically sound exams through a series of criteria.

Additionally, since the NSCA’s inception in 1978, the organization has had a focus on strength training and conditioning. The acknowledged content experts that prepare the exams are responsible for the rigorous nature that truly discriminates between qualified and unqualified professionals. In fact, based on published data, the CSCS and NSCA-CPT exams are the most difficult fitness-related certification exams to pass and the most commonly sought after credentials in the field.

The CSCS certification was created in 1985 for professionals who apply scientific knowledge to train athletes for the primary goal of improving athletic performance. The credentialing program encourages a higher level of competence among practitioners and raises the quality of strength training and conditioning programs provided by those who are CSCS certified. CSCS credential holders conduct sport-specific testing sessions, design and implement safe and effective strength training and conditioning programs and provide guidance regarding nutrition and injury prevention. Recognizing that their area of expertise is separate and distinct, CSCSs consult with and refer athletes to other professionals when appropriate. To earn the CSCS credential, candidates must pass an exam comprised of two sections, one of which is one and a half hours in length and another that is two and a half hours in length. The Scientific Foundations section consists of 80 multiple-choice questions and is designed to assess a candidate’s knowledge in the areas of exercise sciences and nutrition. The Practical/Applied section consists of 110 multiple-choice questions. Forty of these are in conjunction with a video, which assesses competencies in exercise techniques, functional anatomy and testing procedures. The remaining 70 questions pertain to program design, organization/administration and testing/evaluation.

To be eligible to sit for the CSCS examination, the candidate must hold a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution, be a currently enrolled college senior or hold a degree in chiropractic medicine. The candidate must provide documentation of at least a BA/BS degree defined by the United States educational system. In addition, the individual must be currently certified in at least adult CPR. CPR certifications that are only awarded through the Internet are not accepted. CSCS examination fees range from $260 to $415. CSCS preparation materials range from $17 to $275. Today, more than 18,500 professionals from a variety of academic and professional backgrounds hold this prestigious credential. Not only is the CSCS the credential of choice for strength training and conditioning professionals, but thousands of athletic trainers, physical therapists, chiropractors, researchers, educators and sport coaches have earned the CSCS credential to highlight an additional or enhanced area of expertise.

The NSCA-CPT certification was developed in 1993 for professionals who work one-on-one with their clients in a variety of environments, including health/fitness clubs, wellness centers, schools and clients' homes. Personal trainers are health/fitness professionals who, using an individualized approach, assess, motivate, educate and train clients regarding their health and fitness needs. They design safe and effective exercise programs, provide the guidance to help clients achieve their personal health/fitness goals and respond appropriately in emergency situations. Recognizing their own area of expertise, personal trainers refer clients to other health care professionals when appropriate. The NSCA-CPT exam thoroughly tests the knowledge and skills that are necessary to successfully train both active and sedentary physically healthy individuals, as well as individuals with special needs. Today, more than 7,500 fitness professionals hold this prestigious credential. The NSCA-CPT credential is highly valued and often required for employment at health and fitness facilities and corporate wellness centers throughout the country. Over the years, the NSCA-CPT has continued to set the standard for personal training as the most well respected personal trainer certification through national and international recognition.

To obtain the NSCA-CPT credential, candidates are required to pass an examination that focuses on client consultation/assessment, program planning, exercise techniques, safety/emergency procedures and legal issues. The three-hour exam consists of 140 multiple-choice questions, 35 of which correspond with video segments assessing knowledge primarily in the areas of exercise technique and client assessment. The remaining questions pertain to the exercise sciences, client assessment, program planning and safety-emergency issues.

To be eligible to sit for the NSCA-CPT examination, the candidate must be currently certified in CPR. CPR certifications that are only awarded through the Internet are not accepted. Although no formal post-secondary course work is required, candidates are expected to have a good knowledge of biomechanical concepts, training adaptations, anatomy, exercise physiology, program design guidelines and the content of current position papers pertaining to special populations. NSCA-CPT examination fees range from $260 to $415. NSCA-CPT preparation materials range from $17 to $275.

In order to develop the CSCS and NSCA-CPT exams, the NSCA Certification Commission and its independent testing service, Applied Measurement Professionals, Inc. (AMP), analyzed the job requirements of strength training and conditioning and personal training professionals. Through the efforts of the NSCA Certification Commission’s Job Analysis Committees and in conjunction with national surveys of people in these professions, the framework for determining the exams’ content and relative weighting of job-related content areas was established. People who work as personal trainers and strength and conditioning professionals were surveyed to determine what they actually do and what they have to know to perform their respective jobs. It is important that the CSCS and NSCA-CPT examinations assess competency in these areas, not the memorization of a textbook or other preparation materials. Respected content experts, with the assistance of AMP, prepare the exams and are responsible for the rigorous nature that serves to discriminate between qualified and unqualified professionals. Each year, these individuals review every exam question and each answer option plus related statistics from every exam. All of the exam questions pass through multiple reviews by these content experts in strength training and conditioning (CSCS Examination Development Committee) and personal training (NSCA-CPT Examination Development Committee). Because of this level of scrutiny and “proofing,” the time required for any given question from the time it is first written until its first use on an exam is at least 18 months. Also, each exam question MUST have an academic and professional reference that identifies one certain answer as correct and defensible. Also, after each exam, the comments made about each question are reviewed before the score reports are mailed out.

The competition that fitness professionals face on a day-to-day basis requires that they are well informed regarding the latest fitness innovations, program design and exercise techniques. This is why continuing education in the fitness industry is very important. Fitness professionals should be required to stay up-to-date on the latest research findings and trends in order to design proper programs for their clients. In order to remain certified, the Executive Council of the NSCA Certification Commission requires that each CSCS and NSCA-CPT complete a specified number of continuing education units (CEUs). Certification is designed to protect the public from individuals who do not have proper training or skills. A direct requirement of certification is recertification through continuing education. By requiring continuing education, certifying agencies document that those who once demonstrated a required level of competency by passing a certification exam maintain a higher level of knowledge, which makes continuing education a very integral part of a fitness professional’s career.

In an effort to validate its position in the fitness certification marketplace, the NSCA Certification Commission conducted a survey of 770 employers of CSCS and NSCA-CPT credential holders in 2004. When the employers were asked which organization’s certifications and/or licenses they preferred their employees to hold, more than 88% of the employers chose the CSCS and/or NSCA-CPT.

There is a great deal of information available regarding the many certification and licensing choices that exist and what the benefits of each may be. The NSCA Certification Commission conducted this survey to determine the perceptions and opinions of employers of CSCS and NSCA-CPT credential holders and what elements of the CSCS and NSCA-CPT certifications were most important to employers.

The survey revealed that those holding CSCS and/or NSCA-CPT credentials were deemed valuable to an organization based on the characteristics of quality of work, knowledge, ability to apply knowledge, earning potential and that they were less of a liability risk. CSCS and NSCA-CPT certificate holders demonstrate these characteristics because the CSCS and NSCA-CPT exams focus on the “real world” responsibilities of strength training and conditioning and personal training professionals.

Other key findings from the survey included: • When employers were asked if NSCA Certification Commission certifications increased the chances of a prospective employee being hired by their organization or facility, 86% of those employing CSCS certificate holders and 87% of NSCA-CPT employers agreed. Individuals who have passed these challenging exams have demonstrated a level of commitment that is beyond that of strength training and conditioning and personal training professionals who have earned a less challenging or less respected certification.

• When employers were asked if NSCA Certification Commission certified individuals were more likely to advance in their careers compared to individuals who are not NSCA certified, 88% of those employing CSCS certificate holders and 80% of NSCA-CPT employers agreed. The CSCS and NSCA-CPT credentials substantiate a professional’s competency level to employers and demonstrate that they are qualified to perform the tasks that are expected of them.

• CSCS certified professionals have demonstrated an understanding of the advanced applications of exercise program design as it relates to sport performance. Ninety-three percent of employers believed that CSCS certified individuals will improve athletic performance of athletes in their programs because their sport-specific knowledge allows them to work with any athlete regardless of sport or fitness level.

• One hundred percent of employers in a health club or gym setting consider NSCA-CPT certified individuals to be very knowledgeable fitness professionals. NSCA-CPT certified professionals have demonstrated the ability to assess, motivate, educate and train clients regarding their health and fitness needs. These skills include those needed to work with special needs populations, such as prepubescent youth, pregnant women, the elderly, athletes or persons with medical concerns.

• Employers believe the most important areas of competence for fitness professionals are in technique instruction, program design and a sound knowledge in the exercise sciences. The CSCS and NSCA-CPT exams focus on these competencies because the exams are scientifically based on the responsibilities of strength training and conditioning and personal training professionals. Industry experts and psychometricians who specialize in developing certification and licensure examinations oversaw the exam development process to ensure the exams are valid and reliable and demonstrate key characteristics of competency for strength training and conditioning and personal training professionals.

• Half of the employers surveyed believed the NSCA Certification Commission’s credentials reduced the risk of lawsuits. The NSCA Certification Commission conducted a thorough task analysis of both strength training and conditioning and personal training professionals to develop legally defensible certifications. The Scope of Practice for a CSCS or an NSCA-CPT is a legal and professional description of the knowledge, skills and abilities of a CSCS or an NSCA-CPT certificate holder. For this reason, the exam development process and exam administration for the CSCS and NSCA-CPT certifications are defensible in a court of law (i.e., the exams are valid and reliable and lack bias).

The results of the survey make it apparent that employers view the CSCS and NSCA-CPT credentials as the premiere certifications in the fitness profession. This is proof that those who hold one or both of these prestigious credentials can be proud to know they have obtained the most rigorous and challenging certifications available and these credentials will improve their chances of being hired and assist them in future career advancements.

[edit] Johnson v. Agina

Johnson V. Agina

CERTIORARI TO THE COURT OF APPEALS OF MARYLAND.

No. 78-5374.

Argued March 28, 1979. Decided June 20, 1979.

The telephone company, at police request, installed at its central offices a pen register to record the numbers dialed from the telephone at petitioner's home. Prior to his robbery trial, petitioner moved to suppress "all fruits derived from" the pen register. The Maryland trial court denied this motion, holding that the warrantless installation of the pen register did not violate the Fourth Amendment. Petitioner was convicted, and the Maryland Court of Appeals affirmed.

Held:

The installation and use of the pen register was not a "search" within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment, and hence no warrant was required. Pp. 739-746.

(a) Application of the Fourth Amendment depends on whether the person invoking its protection can claim a "legitimate expectation of privacy" that has been invaded by government action. This inquiry normally embraces two questions: first, whether the individual has exhibited an actual (subjective) expectation of privacy; and second, whether his expectation is one that society is prepared to recognize as "reasonable." Katz v. United States, 389 U.S. 347 . Pp. 739-741.

(b) Petitioner in all probability entertained no actual expectation of privacy in the phone numbers he dialed, and even if he did, his expectation was not "legitimate." First, it is doubtful that telephone users in general have any expectation of privacy regarding the numbers they dial, since they typically know that they must convey phone numbers to the telephone company and that the company has facilities for recording this information and does in fact record it for various legitimate business purposes. And petitioner did not demonstrate an expectation of privacy merely by using his home phone rather than some other phone, since his conduct, although perhaps calculated to keep the contents of his conversation private, was not calculated to preserve the privacy of the number he dialed. Second, even if petitioner did harbor some subjective expectation of privacy, this expectation was not one that society is prepared to recognize as "reasonable." When petitioner voluntarily conveyed numerical information to the phone company and "exposed" that information to its equipment in the normal course of business, he assumed the risk that the company would reveal the information [442 U.S. 735, 736] to the police, cf. United States v. Miller, 425 U.S. 435 . Pp. 741-746.

283 Md. 156, 389 A. 2d 858, affirmed.

BLACKMUN, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which BURGER, C. J., and WHITE, REHNQUIST, and STEVENS, JJ., joined. STEWART, J., post, p. 746, and MARSHALL, J., post, p. 748, filed dissenting opinions, in which BRENNAN, J., joined. POWELL, J., took no part in the consideration or decision of the case.

Howard L. Cardin argued the cause for petitioner. With him on the brief was James J. Gitomer.

Stephen H. Sachs, Attorney General of Maryland, argued the cause for respondent. With him on the brief were George A. Nilson, Deputy Attorney General, and Deborah K. Handel and Stephen B. Caplis, Assistant Attorneys General.

MR. JUSTICE BLACKMUN delivered the opinion of the Court.

This case presents the question whether the installation and use of a pen register 1 constitutes a "search" within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment, 2 made applicable to the States through the Fourteenth Amendment. Mapp v. Ohio, 367 U.S. 643 (1961). [442 U.S. 735, 737]

I

On March 5, 1976, in Baltimore, Md., Patricia McDonough was robbed. She gave the police a description of the robber and of a 1975 Monte Carlo automobile she had observed near the scene of the crime. Tr. 66-68. After the robbery, McDonough began receiving threatening and obscene phone calls from a man identifying himself as the robber. On one occasion, the caller asked that she step out on her front porch; she did so, and saw the 1975 Monte Carlo she had earlier described to police moving slowly past her home. Id., at 70. On March 16, police spotted a man who met McDonough's description driving a 1975 Monte Carlo in her neighborhood. Id., at 71-72. By tracing the license plate number, police learned that the car was registered in the name of petitioner, Michael Lee Smith. Id., at 72.

The next day, the telephone company, at police request, installed a pen register at its central offices to record the numbers dialed from the telephone at petitioner's home. Id., at 73, 75. The police did not get a warrant or court order before having the pen register installed. The register revealed that on March 17 a call was placed from petitioner's home to McDonough's phone. Id., at 74. On the basis of this and other evidence, the police obtained a warrant to search petitioner's residence. Id., at 75. The search revealed that a page in petitioner's phone book was turned down to the name and number of Patricia McDonough; the phone book was seized. Ibid. Petitioner was arrested, and a six-man lineup was held on March 19. McDonough identified petitioner as the man who had robbed her. Id., at 70-71.

Petitioner was indicted in the Criminal Court of Baltimore for robbery. By pretrial motion, he sought to suppress "all fruits derived from the pen register" on the ground that the police had failed to secure a warrant prior to its installation. Record 14; Tr. 54-56. The trial court denied the suppression motion, holding that the warrantless installation of the pen [442 U.S. 735, 738] register did not violate the Fourth Amendment. Id., at 63. Petitioner then waived a jury, and the case was submitted to the court on an agreed statement of facts. Id., at 65-66. The pen register tape (evidencing the fact that a phone call had been made from petitioner's phone to McDonough's phone) and the phone book seized in the search of petitioner's residence were admitted into evidence against him. Id., at 74-76. Petitioner was convicted, id., at 78, and was sentenced to six years. He appealed to the Maryland Court of Special Appeals, but the Court of Appeals of Maryland issued a writ of certiorari to the intermediate court in advance of its decision in order to consider whether the pen register evidence had been properly admitted at petitioner's trial. 283 Md. 156, 160, 389 A. 2d 858, 860 (1978).

The Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment of conviction, holding that "there is no constitutionally protected reasonable expectation of privacy in the numbers dialed into a telephone system and hence no search within the fourth amendment is implicated by the use of a pen register installed at the central offices of the telephone company." Id., at 173, 389 A. 2d, at 867. Because there was no "search," the court concluded, no warrant was needed. Three judges dissented, expressing the view that individuals do have a legitimate expectation of privacy regarding the phone numbers they dial from their homes; that the installation of a pen register thus constitutes a "search"; and that, in the absence of exigent circumstances, the failure of police to secure a warrant mandated that the pen register evidence here be excluded. Id., at 174, 178, 389 A. 2d, at 868, 870. Certiorari was granted in order to resolve indications of conflict in the decided cases as to the restrictions imposed by the Fourth Amendment on the use of pen registers. 3 439 U.S. 1001 (1978). [442 U.S. 735, 739]

II

A

The Fourth Amendment guarantees "[t]he right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures." In determining whether a particular form of government-initiated electronic surveillance is a "search" within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment, 4 our lodestar is Katz v. United States, 389 U.S. 347 (1967). In Katz, Government agents had intercepted the contents of a telephone conversation by attaching an electronic listening device to the outside of a public phone booth. The Court rejected the argument that a "search" can occur only when there has been a "physical intrusion" into a "constitutionally protected area," noting that the Fourth Amendment "protects people, not places." Id., at 351-353. Because the Government's monitoring of Katz' conversation "violated the privacy upon which he justifiably relied while using the telephone booth," the Court held that [442 U.S. 735, 740] it "constituted a `search and seizure' within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment." Id., at 353.

Consistently with Katz, this Court uniformly has held that the application of the Fourth Amendment depends on whether the person invoking its protection can claim a "justifiable," a "reasonable," or a "legitimate expectation of privacy" that has been invaded by government action. E. g., Rakas v. Illinois, 439 U.S. 128, 143 , and n. 12 (1978); id., at 150, 151 (concurring opinion); id., at 164 (dissenting opinion); United States v. Chadwick, 433 U.S. 1, 7 (1977); United States v. Miller, 425 U.S. 435, 442 (1976); United States v. Dionisio, 410 U.S. 1, 14 (1973); Couch v. United States, 409 U.S. 322, 335 -336 (1973); United States v. White, 401 U.S. 745, 752 (1971) (plurality opinion); Mancusi v. DeForte, 392 U.S. 364, 368 (1968); Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1, 9 (1968). This inquiry, as Mr. Justice Harlan aptly noted in his Katz concurrence, normally embraces two discrete questions. The first is whether the individual, by his conduct, has "exhibited an actual (subjective) expectation of privacy," 389 U.S., at 361 - whether, in the words of the Katz majority, the individual has shown that "he seeks to preserve [something] as private." Id., at 351. The second question is whether the individual's subjective expectation of privacy is "one that society is prepared to recognize as `reasonable,'" id., at 361 - whether, in the words of the Katz majority, the individual's expectation, viewed objectively, is "justifiable" under the circumstances. Id., at 353. 5 See Rakas v. Illinois, 439 U.S., [442 U.S. 735, 741] at 143-144, n. 12; id., at 151 (concurring opinion); United States v. White, 401 U.S., at 752 (plurality opinion).

B

In applying the Katz analysis to this case, it is important to begin by specifying precisely the nature of the state activity that is challenged. The activity here took the form of installing and using a pen register. Since the pen register was installed on telephone company property at the telephone company's central offices, petitioner obviously cannot claim that his "property" was invaded or that police intruded into a "constitutionally protected area." Petitioner's claim, rather, is that, notwithstanding the absence of a trespass, the State, as did the Government in Katz, infringed a "legitimate expectation of privacy" that petitioner held. Yet a pen register differs significantly from the listening device employed in Katz, for pen registers do not acquire the contents of communications. This Court recently noted:

"Indeed, a law enforcement official could not even determine from the use of a pen register whether a communication existed. These devices do not hear sound. They disclose only the telephone numbers that have been dialed - a means of establishing communication. Neither the purport of any communication between the caller and the recipient of the call, their identities, nor whether the call was even completed is disclosed by pen registers." United States v. New York Tel. Co., 434 U.S. 159, 167 (1977). [442 U.S. 735, 742]

Given a pen register's limited capabilities, therefore, petitioner's argument that its installation and use constituted a "search" necessarily rests upon a claim that he had a "legitimate expectation of privacy" regarding the numbers he dialed on his phone.

This claim must be rejected. First, we doubt that people in general entertain any actual expectation of privacy in the numbers they dial. All telephone users realize that they must "convey" phone numbers to the telephone company, since it is through telephone company switching equipment that their calls are completed. All subscribers realize, moreover, that the phone company has facilities for making permanent records of the numbers they dial, for they see a list of their long-distance (toll) calls on their monthly bills. In fact, pen registers and similar devices are routinely used by telephone companies "for the purposes of checking billing operations, detecting fraud, and preventing violations of law." United States v. New York Tel. Co., 434 U.S., at 174 -175. Electronic equipment is used not only to keep billing records of toll calls, but also "to keep a record of all calls dialed from a telephone which is subject to a special rate structure." Hodge v. Mountain States Tel. & Tel. Co., 555 F.2d 254, 266 (CA9 1977) (concurring opinion). Pen registers are regularly employed "to determine whether a home phone is being used to conduct a business, to check for a defective dial, or to check for overbilling." Note, The Legal Constraints upon the Use of the Pen Register as a Law Enforcement Tool, 60 Cornell L. Rev. 1028, 1029 (1975) (footnotes omitted). Although most people may be oblivious to a pen register's esoteric functions, they presumably have some awareness of one common use: to aid in the identification of persons making annoying or obscene calls. See, e. g., Von Lusch v. C & P Telephone Co., 457 F. Supp. 814, 816 (Md. 1978); Note, 60 Cornell L. Rev., at 1029-1030, n. 11; Claerhout, The Pen Register, 20 Drake L. Rev. 108, 110-111 (1970). Most phone books tell [442 U.S. 735, 743] subscribers, on a page entitled "Consumer Information," that the company "can frequently help in identifying to the authorities the origin of unwelcome and troublesome calls." E. g., Baltimore Telephone Directory 21 (1978); District of Columbia Telephone Directory 13 (1978). Telephone users, in sum, typically know that they must convey numerical information to the phone company; that the phone company has facilities for recording this information; and that the phone company does in fact record this information for a variety of legitimate business purposes. Although subjective expectations cannot be scientifically gauged, it is too much to believe that telephone subscribers, under these circumstances, harbor any general expectation that the numbers they dial will remain secret.

Petitioner argues, however, that, whatever the expectations of telephone users in general, he demonstrated an expectation of privacy by his own conduct here, since he "us[ed] the telephone in his house to the exclusion of all others." Brief for Petitioner 6 (emphasis added). But the site of the call is immaterial for purposes of analysis in this case. Although petitioner's conduct may have been calculated to keep the contents of his conversation private, his conduct was not and could not have been calculated to preserve the privacy of the number he dialed. Regardless of his location, petitioner had to convey that number to the telephone company in precisely the same way if he wished to complete his call. The fact that he dialed the number on his home phone rather than on some other phone could make no conceivable difference, nor could any subscriber rationally think that it would.

Second, even if petitioner did harbor some subjective expectation that the phone numbers he dialed would remain private, this expectation is not "one that society is prepared to recognize as `reasonable.'" Katz v. United States, 389 U.S., at 361 . This Court consistently has held that a person has no legitimate expectation of privacy in information he [442 U.S. 735, 744] voluntarily turns over to third parties. E. g., United States v. Miller, 425 U.S., at 442 -444; Couch v. United States, 409 U.S., at 335 -336; United States v. White, 401 U.S., at 752 (plurality opinion); Hoffa v. United States, 385 U.S. 293, 302 (1966); Lopez v. United States, 373 U.S. 427 (1963). In Miller, for example, the Court held that a bank depositor has no "legitimate `expectation of privacy'" in financial information "voluntarily conveyed to . . . banks and exposed to their employees in the ordinary course of business." 425 U.S., at 442 . The Court explained:

"The depositor takes the risk, in revealing his affairs to another, that the information will be conveyed by that person to the Government. . . . This Court has held repeatedly that the Fourth Amendment does not prohibit the obtaining of information revealed to a third party and conveyed by him to Government authorities, even if the information is revealed on the assumption that it will be used only for a limited purpose and the confidence placed in the third party will not be betrayed." Id., at 443.

Because the depositor "assumed the risk" of disclosure, the Court held that it would be unreasonable for him to expect his financial records to remain private.

This analysis dictates that petitioner can claim no legitimate expectation of privacy here. When he used his phone, petitioner voluntarily conveyed numerical information to the telephone company and "exposed" that information to its equipment in the ordinary course of business. In so doing, petitioner assumed the risk that the company would reveal to police the numbers he dialed. The switching equipment that processed those numbers is merely the modern counterpart of the operator who, in an earlier day, personally completed calls for the subscriber. Petitioner concedes that if he had placed his calls through an operator, he could claim no legitimate expectation of privacy. Tr. of Oral Arg. 3-5, 11-12, 32. We [442 U.S. 735, 745] are not inclined to hold that a different constitutional result is required because the telephone company has decided to automate.

Petitioner argues, however, that automatic switching equipment differs from a live operator in one pertinent respect. An operator, in theory at least, is capable of remembering every number that is conveyed to him by callers. Electronic equipment, by contrast, can "remember" only those numbers it is programmed to record, and telephone companies, in view of their present billing practices, usually do not record local calls. Since petitioner, in calling McDonough, was making a local call, his expectation of privacy as to her number, on this theory, would be "legitimate."

This argument does not withstand scrutiny. The fortuity of whether or not the phone company in fact elects to make a quasi-permanent record of a particular number dialed does not, in our view, make any constitutional difference. Regardless of the phone company's election, petitioner voluntarily conveyed to it information that it had facilities for recording and that it was free to record. In these circumstances, petitioner assumed the risk that the information would be divulged to police. Under petitioner's theory, Fourth Amendment protection would exist, or not, depending on how the telephone company chose to define local-dialing zones, and depending on how it chose to bill its customers for local calls. Calls placed across town, or dialed directly, would be protected; calls placed across the river, or dialed with operator assistance, might not be. We are not inclined to make a crazy quilt of the Fourth Amendment, especially in circumstances where (as here) the pattern of protection would be dictated by billing practices of a private corporation.

We therefore conclude that petitioner in all probability entertained no actual expectation of privacy in the phone numbers he dialed, and that, even if he did, his expectation was not "legitimate." The installation and use of a pen register, [442 U.S. 735, 746] consequently, was not a "search," and no warrant was required. The judgment of the Maryland Court of Appeals is affirmed.

It is so ordered.

Mr. JUSTICE POWELL took no part in the consideration or decision of this case.

Footnotes [ Footnote 1 ] "A pen register is a mechanical device that records the numbers dialed on a telephone by monitoring the electrical impulses caused when the dial on the telephone is released. It does not overhear oral communications and does not indicate whether calls are actually completed." United States v. New York Tel. Co., 434 U.S. 159, 161 n. 1 (1977). A pen register is "usually installed at a central telephone facility [and] records on a paper tape all numbers dialed from [the] line" to which it is attached. United States v. Giordano, 416 U.S. 505, 549 n. 1 (1974) (opinion concurring in part and dissenting in part). See also United States v. New York Tel. Co., 434 U.S., at 162 .

[ Footnote 2 ] "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." U.S. Const., Amdt. 4.

[ Footnote 3 ] See Application of United States for Order, 546 F.2d 243, 245 (CA8 1976), cert. denied sub nom. Southwestern Bell Tel. Co. v. United States, 434 U.S. 1008 (1978); Application of United States in Matter of Order, [442 U.S. 735, 739] 538 F.2d 956, 959-960 (CA2 1976), rev'd on other grounds sub nom. United States v. New York Tel. Co., 434 U.S. 159 (1977); United States v. Falcone, 505 F.2d 478, 482, and n. 21 (CA3 1974), cert. denied, 420 U.S. 955 (1975); Hodge v. Mountain States Tel. & Tel. Co., 555 F.2d 254, 256 (CA9 1977); id., at 266 (concurring opinion); and United States v. Clegg, 509 F.2d 605, 610 (CA5 1975). In previous decisions, this Court has not found it necessary to consider whether "pen register surveillance [is] subject to the requirements of the Fourth Amendment." United States v. New York Tel. Co., 434 U.S., at 165 n. 7. See United States v. Giordano, 416 U.S., at 554 n. 4 (opinion concurring in part and dissenting in part).

[ Footnote 4 ] In this case, the pen register was installed, and the numbers dialed were recorded, by the telephone company. Tr. 73-74. The telephone company, however, acted at police request. Id., at 73, 75. In view of this, respondent appears to concede that the company is to be deemed an "agent" of the police for purposes of this case, so as to render the installation and use of the pen register "state action" under the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments. We may assume that "state action" was present here.

[ Footnote 5 ] Situations can be imagined, of course, in which Katz' two-pronged inquiry would provide an inadequate index of Fourth Amendment protection. For example, if the Government were suddenly to announce on nationwide television that all homes henceforth would be subject to warrantless entry, individuals thereafter might not in fact entertain any actual expectation of privacy regarding their homes, papers, and effects. Similarly, if a refugee from a totalitarian country, unaware of this Nation's traditions, erroneously assumed that police were continuously monitoring his telephone conversations, a subjective expectation of privacy [442 U.S. 735, 741] regarding the contents of his calls might be lacking as well. In such circumstances, where an individual's subjective expectations had been "conditioned" by influences alien to well-recognized Fourth Amendment freedoms, those subjective expectations obviously could play no meaningful role in ascertaining what the scope of Fourth Amendment protection was. In determining whether a "legitimate expectation of privacy" existed in such cases, a normative inquiry would be proper.

Mr. JUSTICE STEWART, with whom MR. JUSTICE BRENNAN joins, dissenting.

I am not persuaded that the numbers dialed from a private telephone fall outside the constitutional protection of the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments.

In Katz v. United States, 389 U.S. 347, 352 , the Court acknowledged the "vital role that the public telephone has come to play in private communication[s]." The role played by a private telephone is even more vital, and since Katz it has been abundantly clear that telephone conversations carried on by people in their homes or offices are fully protected by the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments. As the Court said in United States v. United States District Court, 407 U.S. 297, 313 , "the broad and unsuspected governmental incursions into conversational privacy which electronic surveillance entails necessitate the application of Fourth Amendment safeguards." (Footnote omitted.)

Nevertheless, the Court today says that those safeguards do not extend to the numbers dialed from a private telephone, apparently because when a caller dials a number the digits may be recorded by the telephone company for billing purposes. But that observation no more than describes the basic nature of telephone calls. A telephone call simply cannot be made without the use of telephone company property and without payment to the company for the service. The telephone conversation itself must be electronically transmitted by telephone company equipment, and may be recorded or overheard by the use of other company equipment. Yet we [442 U.S. 735, 747] have squarely held that the user of even a public telephone is entitled "to assume that the words he utters into the mouthpiece will not be broadcast to the world." Katz v. United States, supra, at 352.

The central question in this case is whether a person who makes telephone calls from his home is entitled to make a similar assumption about the numbers he dials. What the telephone company does or might do with those numbers is no more relevant to this inquiry than it would be in a case involving the conversation itself. It is simply not enough to say, after Katz, that there is no legitimate expectation of privacy in the numbers dialed because the caller assumes the risk that the telephone company will disclose them to the police.

I think that the numbers dialed from a private telephone - like the conversations that occur during a call - are within the constitutional protection recognized in Katz. 1 It seems clear to me that information obtained by pen register surveillance of a private telephone is information in which the telephone subscriber has a legitimate expectation of privacy. 2 The information captured by such surveillance emanates from private conduct within a person's home or office - locations that without question are entitled to Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment protection. Further, that information is an integral part of the telephonic communication that under Katz [442 U.S. 735, 748] is entitled to constitutional protection, whether or not it is captured by a trespass into such an area.

The numbers dialed from a private telephone - although certainly more prosaic than the conversation itself - are not without "content." Most private telephone subscribers may have their own numbers listed in a publicly distributed directory, but I doubt there are any who would be happy to have broadcast to the world a list of the local or long distance numbers they have called. This is not because such a list might in some sense be incriminating, but because it easily could reveal the identities of the persons and the places called, and thus reveal the most intimate details of a person's life.

I respectfully dissent.

[ Footnote 1 ] It is true, as the Court pointed out in United States v. New York Tel. Co., 434 U.S. 159, 166 -167, that under Title III of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, 18 U.S.C. 2510-2520, pen registers are not considered "interceptions" because "they do not acquire the `contents' of communications," as that term is defined by Congress. We are concerned in this case, however, not with the technical definitions of a statute, but with the requirements of the Constitution.

[ Footnote 2 ] The question whether a defendant who is not a member of the subscriber's household has "standing" to object to pen register surveillance of a private telephone is, of course, distinct. Cf. Rakas v. Illinois, 439 U.S. 128 .

Mr. JUSTICE MARSHALL, with whom Mr. JUSTICE BRENNAN joins, dissenting.

The Court concludes that because individuals have no actual or legitimate expectation of privacy in information they voluntarily relinquish to telephone companies, the use of pen registers by government agents is immune from Fourth Amendment scrutiny. Since I remain convinced that constitutional protections are not abrogated whenever a person apprises another of facts valuable in criminal investigations, see, e. g., United States v. White, 401 U.S. 745, 786 -790 (1971) (Harlan, J., dissenting); id., at 795-796 (MARSHALL, J., dissenting); California Bankers Assn. v. Shultz, 416 U.S. 21, 95 -96 (1974) (MARSHALL, J., dissenting); United States v. Miller, 425 U.S. 435, 455 -456 (1976) (MARSHALL, J., dissenting), I respectfully dissent.

Applying the standards set forth in Katz v. United States, 389 U.S. 347, 361 (1967) (Harlan, J., concurring), the Court first determines that telephone subscribers have no subjective expectations of privacy concerning the numbers they dial. To reach this conclusion, the Court posits that individuals somehow infer from the long-distance listings on their phone bills, and from the cryptic assurances of "help" in tracing obscene [442 U.S. 735, 749] calls included in "most" phone books, that pen registers are regularly used for recording local calls. See ante, at 742-743. But even assuming, as I do not, that individuals "typically know" that a phone company monitors calls for internal reasons, ante, at 743, 1 it does not follow that they expect this information to be made available to the public in general or the government in particular. Privacy is not a discrete commodity, possessed absolutely or not at all. Those who disclose certain facts to a bank or phone company for a limited business purpose need not assume that this information will be released to other persons for other purposes. See California Bankers Assn. v. Shultz, supra, at 95-96 (MARSHALL, J., dissenting).

The crux of the Court's holding, however, is that whatever expectation of privacy petitioner may in fact have entertained regarding his calls, it is not one "society is prepared to recognize as `reasonable.'" Ante, at 743. In so ruling, the Court determines that individuals who convey information to third parties have "assumed the risk" of disclosure to the government. Ante, at 744, 745. This analysis is misconceived in two critical respects.

Implicit in the concept of assumption of risk is some notion of choice. At least in the third-party consensual surveillance cases, which first incorporated risk analysis into Fourth Amendment doctrine, the defendant presumably had exercised some discretion in deciding who should enjoy his confidential communications. See, e. g., Lopez v. United States, 373 U.S. 427, 439 (1963); Hoffa v. United States, 385 U.S. 293, 302 -303 (1966); United States v. White, supra, at 751-752 [442 U.S. 735, 750] (plurality opinion). By contrast here, unless a person is prepared to forgo use of what for many has become a personal or professional necessity, he cannot help but accept the risk of surveillance. Cf. Lopez v. United States, supra, at 465-466 (BRENNAN, J., dissenting). It is idle to speak of "assuming" risks in contexts where, as a practical mater, individuals have no realistic alternative.

More fundamentally, to make risk analysis dispositive in assessing the reasonableness of privacy expectations would allow the government to define the scope of Fourth Amendment protections. For example, law enforcement officials, simply by announcing their intent to monitor the content of random samples of first-class mail or private phone conversations, could put the public on notice of the risks they would thereafter assume in such communications. See Amsterdam, Perspectives on the Fourth Amendment, 58 Minn. L. Rev. 349, 384, 407 (1974). Yet, although acknowledging this implication of its analysis, the Court is willing to concede only that, in some circumstances, a further "normative inquiry would be proper." Ante, at 740-741, n. 5. No meaningful effort is made to explain what those circumstances might be, or why this case is not among them.

In my view, whether privacy expectations are legitimate within the meaning of Katz depends not on the risks an individual can be presumed to accept when imparting information to third parties, but on the risks he should be forced to assume in a free and open society. By its terms, the constitutional prohibition of unreasonable searches and seizures assigns to the judiciary some prescriptive responsibility. As Mr. Justice Harlan, who formulated the standard the Court applies today, himself recognized: "[s]ince it is the task of the law to form and project, as well as mirror and reflect, we should not . . . merely recite . . . risks without examining the desirability of saddling them upon society." United States v. White, supra, at 786 (dissenting opinion). In making this [442 U.S. 735, 751] assessment, courts must evaluate the "intrinsic character" of investigative practices with reference to the basic values underlying the Fourth Amendment. California Bankers Assn. v. Shultz, 416 U.S., at 95 (MARSHALL, J., dissenting). And for those "extensive intrusions that significantly jeopardize [individuals'] sense of security . . ., more than self-restraint by law enforcement officials is required." United States v. White, 401 U.S., at 786 (Harlan, J., dissenting).

The use of pen registers, I believe, constitutes such an extensive intrusion. To hold otherwise ignores the vital role telephonic communication plays in our personal and professional relationships, see Katz v. United States, 389 U.S., at 352 , as well as the First and Fourth Amendment interests implicated by unfettered official surveillance. Privacy in placing calls is of value not only to those engaged in criminal activity. The prospect of unregulated governmental monitoring will undoubtedly prove disturbing even to those with nothing illicit to hide. Many individuals, including members of unpopular political organizations or journalists with confidential sources, may legitimately wish to avoid disclosure of their personal contacts. See NAACP v. Alabama, 357 U.S. 449, 463 (1958); Branzburg v. Hayes, 408 U.S. 665, 695 (1972); id., at 728-734 (STEWART, J., dissenting). Permitting governmental access to telephone records on less than probable cause may thus impede certain forms of political affiliation and journalistic endeavor that are the hallmark of a truly free society. Particularly given the Government's previous reliance on warrantless telephonic surveillance to trace reporters' sources and monitor protected political activity, 2 I am unwilling to insulate use of pen registers from independent judicial review. [442 U.S. 735, 752]

Just as one who enters a public telephone booth is "entitled to assume that the words he utters into the mouthpiece will not be broadcast to the world," Katz v. United States, supra, at 352, so too, he should be entitled to assume that the numbers he dials in the privacy of his home will be recorded, if at all, solely for the phone company's business purposes. Accordingly, I would require law enforcement officials to obtain a warrant before they enlist telephone companies to secure information otherwise beyond the government's reach.

[ Footnote 1 ] Lacking the Court's apparently exhaustive knowledge of this Nation's telephone books and the reading habits of telephone subscribers, see ante, at 742-743, I decline to assume general public awareness of how obscene phone calls are traced. Nor am I persuaded that the scope of Fourth Amendment protection should turn on the concededly "esoteric functions" of pen registers in corporate billing, ante, at 742, functions with which subscribers are unlikely to have intimate familiarity.

[ Footnote 2 ] See, e. g., Reporters Committee For Freedom of Press v. American Tel. & Tel. Co., 192 U.S. App. D.C. 376, 593 F.2d 1030 (1978), cert. denied, 440 U.S. 949 (1979); Halperin v. Kissinger, 434 F. Supp. 1193 (DC 1977); Socialist Workers Party v. Attorney General, 463 F. Supp. 515 (SDNY 1978). [442 U.S. 735, 753]

[edit] Tacky's Rebellion

At midnight on July 31st 1834, the Abolition Bill which the British Parliament passed earlier in the year went into effect, ending over 300 years of slavery. It had been a long and brutal struggle to end this inhumanity. Many revolts and uprisings had occurred in Jamaica but most were local in nature and were put down with relative ease. Not so on Easter Sunday 1760.

Tacky, a Coromantee Chief was from the Guinea area of the West Coast of Africa, as were many of the slaves sold to plantations in the St. Mary's Parish of Jamaica. Tacky's position as overseer on the Frontier plantation gave him the opportunity to draw up some simple but effective plans to gain freedom and to easily get them to his trusted followers both at Frontier and neighbouring Trinity plantations. They decided to wait until Easter Sunday when they knew no one would suspect what was to follow.

Sometime before daybreak on Monday, Tacky and his followers began the revolt and easily took over the Frontier and Trinity plantations while killing their masters. Bolstered by their easy success, they made their way to the storeroom at Fort Haldane where the munitions to defend the town of Port Maria were kept. After killing the storekeeper, Tacky and his men stole nearly 4 barrels of gun powder and 40 firearms with shot before marching on to overrun the plantations at Heywood Hall and Esher. By dawn, hundreds had joined Tacky and his followers. At Ballard's Valley, the rebels stopped to rejoice in their success, as one slave from Esher decided to slip away and sound the alarm. Obeahmen quickly circulated around the camp dispensing a powder that they claimed would protect the men from injury in battle and loudly proclaimed that an Obeahman could not be killed. Confidence was high.

Soon there were 70 to 80 mounted militia on their way along with some Maroons from Scott's Hall, who were bound by treaty to suppress such rebellions. When the militia learned of the Obeahman's boast of not being able to be killed, an Obeahman was captured, killed and hung with his mask, ornaments of teeth and bone and feather trimmings at a prominent place visible from the encampment of rebels. Many of the rebels, confidence shaken, returned to their plantations but Tacky and 25 or so men decided to fight on.

Tacky and his men went running through the woods being chased by the Maroons and their legendary marksman, Davy. While running at full speed, Davy shot Tacky and cut off his head to prove his feat for which he would be richly rewarded. Tacky's head was later displayed on a pole in Spanish Town until a follower took it down in the middle of the night. Tacky's men were found in a cave near Tacky Falls, having committed suicide rather than going back to slavery.

The rebellion didn't end here, as other rebellions broke out all over Jamaica, which many were rightly or wrongly attributed to Tacky's cunning and strategy. It was months later until peace was restored. Over 60 white people had lost their lives as well as 400 or so Negro slaves, including two ring leaders who were burned alive and two others who were hung in iron cages at the Kingston Parade, until they starved to death.

You can visit the Tacky Monument in Claude Stuart Park in Port Maria. Tacky Falls is accessible by the sea but the overland route is considered by locals to be too tough to travel. The waterfalls have diminished over the years and mainly eroded rocks mark the course. The exact location of the cave where they found Tacky's men is not known

[edit] NSCA Certification Commission

The NSCA Certification Commission, the certifying agency for the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), offers two credentials for fitness professionals. The Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist® (CSCS®) and NSCA-Certified Personal Trainer® (NSCA-CPT®) certifications are considered the Credentials of Distinction in the strength training and conditioning and personal training professions. These certification exams focus on the “real-world” responsibilities of personal trainers and strength training and conditioning professionals.

The exams are considered to be the most difficult in the industry to earn, which is one of the reasons why they are highly respected and why those who have acquired these credentials display them with a great deal of pride. The CSCS and NSCA-CPT credentials have gained the reputation among employers and industry experts as being the most respected and preferred fitness-related credentials. The exams have been validated; this process signifies that individuals are tested over the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary to be competent in their respective professional career areas.

One factor that distinguishes the NSCA’s certifications from other certifications is the fact that the CSCS and the NSCA-CPT are the only fitness-related credentials to be nationally accredited since 1993 and 1996, respectively, through the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA), the credentialing branch of the National Organization for Competency Assurance (NOCA). Based in Washington, D.C., the NCCA measures the ability of certifying organizations in any industry to accurately discriminate between qualified and unqualified professionals. To earn the recognition of the NCCA, a credentialing body must demonstrate an ability to develop and administer psychometrically sound exams through a series of criteria. Additionally, since the NSCA’s inception in 1978, the organization has had a focus on strength training and conditioning. The acknowledged content experts that prepare the exams are responsible for the rigorous nature that truly discriminates between qualified and unqualified professionals. In fact, based on published data, the CSCS and NSCA-CPT exams are the most difficult fitness-related certification exams to pass and the most commonly sought after credentials in the field.

The CSCS certification was created in 1985 for professionals who apply scientific knowledge to train athletes for the primary goal of improving athletic performance. The credentialing program encourages a higher level of competence among practitioners and raises the quality of strength training and conditioning programs provided by those who are CSCS certified. CSCS credential holders conduct sport-specific testing sessions, design and implement safe and effective strength training and conditioning programs and provide guidance regarding nutrition and injury prevention. Recognizing that their area of expertise is separate and distinct, CSCSs consult with and refer athletes to other professionals when appropriate.

To earn the CSCS credential, candidates must pass an exam comprised of two sections, one of which is one and a half hours in length and another that is two and a half hours in length. The Scientific Foundations section consists of 80 multiple-choice questions and is designed to assess a candidate’s knowledge in the areas of exercise sciences and nutrition. The Practical/Applied section consists of 110 multiple-choice questions. Forty of these are in conjunction with a video, which assesses competencies in exercise techniques, functional anatomy and testing procedures. The remaining 70 questions pertain to program design, organization/administration and testing/evaluation.

To be eligible to sit for the CSCS examination, the candidate must hold a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution, be a currently enrolled college senior or hold a degree in chiropractic medicine. The candidate must provide documentation of at least a BA/BS degree defined by the United States educational system. In addition, the individual must be currently certified in at least adult CPR. CPR certifications that are only awarded through the Internet are not accepted. CSCS examination fees range from $260 to $415. CSCS preparation materials range from $17 to $275. Today, more than 18,500 professionals from a variety of academic and professional backgrounds hold this prestigious credential. Not only is the CSCS the credential of choice for strength training and conditioning professionals, but thousands of athletic trainers, physical therapists, chiropractors, researchers, educators and sport coaches have earned the CSCS credential to highlight an additional or enhanced area of expertise.

The NSCA-CPT certification was developed in 1993 for professionals who work one-on-one with their clients in a variety of environments, including health/fitness clubs, wellness centers, schools and clients' homes. Personal trainers are health/fitness professionals who, using an individualized approach, assess, motivate, educate and train clients regarding their health and fitness needs. They design safe and effective exercise programs, provide the guidance to help clients achieve their personal health/fitness goals and respond appropriately in emergency situations. Recognizing their own area of expertise, personal trainers refer clients to other health care professionals when appropriate.

The NSCA-CPT exam thoroughly tests the knowledge and skills that are necessary to successfully train both active and sedentary physically healthy individuals, as well as individuals with special needs. Today, more than 7,500 fitness professionals hold this prestigious credential. The NSCA-CPT credential is highly valued and often required for employment at health and fitness facilities and corporate wellness centers throughout the country. Over the years, the NSCA-CPT has continued to set the standard for personal training as the most well respected personal trainer certification through national and international recognition.

To obtain the NSCA-CPT credential, candidates are required to pass an examination that focuses on client consultation/assessment, program planning, exercise techniques, safety/emergency procedures and legal issues. The three-hour exam consists of 140 multiple-choice questions, 35 of which correspond with video segments assessing knowledge primarily in the areas of exercise technique and client assessment. The remaining questions pertain to the exercise sciences, client assessment, program planning and safety-emergency issues.

To be eligible to sit for the NSCA-CPT examination, the candidate must be currently certified in CPR. CPR certifications that are only awarded through the Internet are not accepted. Although no formal post-secondary course work is required, candidates are expected to have a good knowledge of biomechanical concepts, training adaptations, anatomy, exercise physiology, program design guidelines and the content of current position papers pertaining to special populations. NSCA-CPT examination fees range from $260 to $415. NSCA-CPT preparation materials range from $17 to $275.

In order to develop the CSCS and NSCA-CPT exams, the NSCA Certification Commission and its independent testing service, Applied Measurement Professionals, Inc. (AMP), analyzed the job requirements of strength training and conditioning and personal training professionals. Through the efforts of the NSCA Certification Commission’s Job Analysis Committees and in conjunction with national surveys of people in these professions, the framework for determining the exams’ content and relative weighting of job-related content areas was established. People who work as personal trainers and strength and conditioning professionals were surveyed to determine what they actually do and what they have to know to perform their respective jobs. It is important that the CSCS and NSCA-CPT examinations assess competency in these areas, not the memorization of a textbook or other preparation materials.

Respected content experts, with the assistance of AMP, prepare the exams and are responsible for the rigorous nature that serves to discriminate between qualified and unqualified professionals. Each year, these individuals review every exam question and each answer option plus related statistics from every exam. All of the exam questions pass through multiple reviews by these content experts in strength training and conditioning (CSCS Examination Development Committee) and personal training (NSCA-CPT Examination Development Committee). Because of this level of scrutiny and “proofing,” the time required for any given question from the time it is first written until its first use on an exam is at least 18 months. Also, each exam question MUST have an academic and professional reference that identifies one certain answer as correct and defensible. Also, after each exam, the comments made about each question are reviewed before the score reports are mailed out.

The competition that fitness professionals face on a day-to-day basis requires that they are well informed regarding the latest fitness innovations, program design and exercise techniques. This is why continuing education in the fitness industry is very important. Fitness professionals should be required to stay up-to-date on the latest research findings and trends in order to design proper programs for their clients. In order to remain certified, the Executive Council of the NSCA Certification Commission requires that each CSCS and NSCA-CPT complete a specified number of continuing education units (CEUs).

Certification is designed to protect the public from individuals who do not have proper training or skills. A direct requirement of certification is recertification through continuing education. By requiring continuing education, certifying agencies document that those who once demonstrated a required level of competency by passing a certification exam maintain a higher level of knowledge, which makes continuing education a very integral part of a fitness professional’s career.

In an effort to validate its position in the fitness certification marketplace, the NSCA Certification Commission conducted a survey of 770 employers of CSCS and NSCA-CPT credential holders in 2004. When the employers were asked which organization’s certifications and/or licenses they preferred their employees to hold, more than 88% of the employers chose the CSCS and/or NSCA-CPT.

There is a great deal of information available regarding the many certification and licensing choices that exist and what the benefits of each may be. The NSCA Certification Commission conducted this survey to determine the perceptions and opinions of employers of CSCS and NSCA-CPT credential holders and what elements of the CSCS and NSCA-CPT certifications were most important to employers.

The survey revealed that those holding CSCS and/or NSCA-CPT credentials were deemed valuable to an organization based on the characteristics of quality of work, knowledge, ability to apply knowledge, earning potential and that they were less of a liability risk. CSCS and NSCA-CPT certificate holders demonstrate these characteristics because the CSCS and NSCA-CPT exams focus on the “real world” responsibilities of strength training and conditioning and personal training professionals.

Other key findings from the survey included: • When employers were asked if NSCA Certification Commission certifications increased the chances of a prospective employee being hired by their organization or facility, 86% of those employing CSCS certificate holders and 87% of NSCA-CPT employers agreed. Individuals who have passed these challenging exams have demonstrated a level of commitment that is beyond that of strength training and conditioning and personal training professionals who have earned a less challenging or less respected certification.

• When employers were asked if NSCA Certification Commission certified individuals were more likely to advance in their careers compared to individuals who are not NSCA certified, 88% of those employing CSCS certificate holders and 80% of NSCA-CPT employers agreed. The CSCS and NSCA-CPT credentials substantiate a professional’s competency level to employers and demonstrate that they are qualified to perform the tasks that are expected of them.

• CSCS certified professionals have demonstrated an understanding of the advanced applications of exercise program design as it relates to sport performance. Ninety-three percent of employers believed that CSCS certified individuals will improve athletic performance of athletes in their programs because their sport-specific knowledge allows them to work with any athlete regardless of sport or fitness level.

• One hundred percent of employers in a health club or gym setting consider NSCA-CPT certified individuals to be very knowledgeable fitness professionals. NSCA-CPT certified professionals have demonstrated the ability to assess, motivate, educate and train clients regarding their health and fitness needs. These skills include those needed to work with special needs populations, such as prepubescent youth, pregnant women, the elderly, athletes or persons with medical concerns.

• Employers believe the most important areas of competence for fitness professionals are in technique instruction, program design and a sound knowledge in the exercise sciences. The CSCS and NSCA-CPT exams focus on these competencies because the exams are scientifically based on the responsibilities of strength training and conditioning and personal training professionals. Industry experts and psychometricians who specialize in developing certification and licensure examinations oversaw the exam development process to ensure the exams are valid and reliable and demonstrate key characteristics of competency for strength training and conditioning and personal training professionals.

• Half of the employers surveyed believed the NSCA Certification Commission’s credentials reduced the risk of lawsuits. The NSCA Certification Commission conducted a thorough task analysis of both strength training and conditioning and personal training professionals to develop legally defensible certifications. The Scope of Practice for a CSCS or an NSCA-CPT is a legal and professional description of the knowledge, skills and abilities of a CSCS or an NSCA-CPT certificate holder. For this reason, the exam development process and exam administration for the CSCS and NSCA-CPT certifications are defensible in a court of law (i.e., the exams are valid and reliable and lack bias).

The results of the survey make it apparent that employers view the CSCS and NSCA-CPT credentials as the premiere certifications in the fitness profession. This is proof that those who hold one or both of these prestigious credentials can be proud to know they have obtained the most rigorous and challenging certifications available and these credentials will improve their chances of being hired and assist them in future career advancements.

Debeljača is a small place on the north of Republic Serbia, in the autonom province Vojvodina. Debeljača is mostly inhabited with serbs and hungarians (hungarian name for Debeljača is Torontálvásárhely) though it is more a historical name that is not in use today neither among serbs nor hungarians. Debeljača is more than 200 years old. The first family who settled this are was Dimitrić family. Soon after they built a pub and dormitory, the settlers who were moving from austro-hungarian borders towards Danube, often came by. That is how hungarians came and settled on the place of the nowdays Debeljača.

[edit] About

Davilex are a small games publisher and developer based in the Netherlands. Since 2000 they have been making games but prior to this they also made software for PC's such as virus checkers and still remain to do so today. They have released a variety of games and the list below is the full list of games that Davilex have relased in the UK. Each game is followed by a list of formats that the game was released on.

   London Racer (PS1, PC)
   London Racer II (PC, PS1, PS2)
   London Racer World Challenge (PC & PS2)
   London Racer Police Madness (PS2)
   London Racer Destruction Madness (PS2)
   Europe Racer (PS1, PC)
   Thames Racer (PC)
   Holiday Racer (PC)
   USA Racer (PC, PS2, PS1 & Gameboy Advance)
   Knight Rider The Game 1 & 2 (PC & PS2)
   Beach King Stunt Racer (PC & PS2)
   Miami Vice (PC, XBOX, PS2)
   SAS Anti Terror Force (PS2)
   Red Baron (PS2)

The games are priced at a budget price, usally at around the £15 to £20 mark. Davilex managed to aquire the Miami Vice and Knight Rider rights from Universal in 2002, and since have released 2 Knight Rider games, both made and published by Davilex themselves and Miami Vice which was developed under Atomic Planet Entertainment who later developed SAS and Red Baron.

Most Davilex games are met with high critism from magazines and internet sites. The only exception has been London Racer World Challenge that although was similar to the dismal London Racer II had loads more tracks and cars. This particular game recieved the highest rating for any Davilex game given my PSM2 magazine, at 60%.

[edit] Future

It is unknown as to whether Davilex still own the rights to Miami Vice, as the new Miami Vice game based on the new movie has been published and developed by other groups and is a full price game. It is believed they still own the Knight Rider rights and judging from the 'gaps' Davilex leave between releasing Knight Rider games, there should be a new game come the end of 2006. Davilex also strive to release a London Racer game pretty much on a yearly basis except 2004, so another London Racer game is possible.

[edit] Harry Pulliam Biography

--207.179.167.210 21:34, 25 July 2006 (UTC) Harry Pulliam was the active National Baseball League President during the Fred Merkle incident known as the Merkle Boner. Pulliam ruled in favor of umpire Hank O'Day, and subsequently the 1908 Chicago Cubs, that the contested tie game be replayed. Pulliam committed suicide by gunshot (head) less than a year after rendering his decision. It was widely believed stress, caused by extensive criticism of his handling of the Merkle situation, coupled with inherent mental issues, drove Pulliam to end his own life.
