Globally significant legal victory for public health: Uruguay wins big against Philip Morris
Uruguay has won the six-year legal battle launched by Philip Morris International (PMI) in 2010 before the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) – one of the world's smallest countries claiming a significant victory over one of the world's largest corporations.
President Tabaré Vázquez of Uruguay made the announcement on Friday July 8, in a public broadcast over national radio and TV. The ruling has international repercussions for tobacco control, setting a precedent that favours public health over commercial interests.
PMI took Uruguay to court seeking compensation for health policies that it claimed devalued its brand and investments. Specifically, PMI argued that graphic health warnings covering 80 percent of the surface area of tobacco packaging, and limiting each brand to just one variant (for example, only one presentation of Marlboro cigarettes, and not Marlboro Red, Light, or Blue), contravened trademark and investment protections. The ICSID ruling rejected all their claims.
The government of Uruguay has won and the claims of the tobacco companies have been categorically rejected (by ICSID)," said President Vázquez during his speech. "The sanitary measures we have implemented for tobacco control have been explicitly acknowledged as legitimate," he added.
President Vázquez stressed that his country adopted strict tobacco control policies to comply with the World Health Organization's Framework Convention for Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC), in light of irrefutable evidence showing that tobacco consumption leads to addiction, illness, and death. He then ratified his country's commitment to a full-scale fight against tobacco, and summoned other nations to join in this struggle, "without any fear of retaliation from powerful tobacco corporations, as Uruguay has done." "From now on," he added, "when they try to undermine those measures adopted in the context of the Framework Convention, (countries) will be able to rely on this ruling in our favour."
"This is a victory for the sovereign right of nations to protect the health of their populations, above and beyond the economic interests of the tobacco industry. The decision of the ICSID is ground-breaking for the global advancement of tobacco control. It has proven that small countries, with comparatively limited resources, can take on the might of multinational tobacco corporations and win," said Dr Ehsan Latif, Director of the Department of Tobacco Control at The Union. "Philip Morris International are now be liable for all legal costs relating to this case – they must be held accountable."
Dr Latif said that there was now no legal obstacle to other countries moving ahead with similarly strong tobacco control measures that are proven to reduce consumption and the premature death and disease. Since Uruguay introduced its comprehensive tobacco control programme in 2003, tobacco use amongst adults dropped from 32% to 23%. Tobacco consumption among school-going youth aged 12 – 17 decreased from over 30 percent to 9.2 percent in just eight years. Ministry of Health data also indicates that since smoke-free laws were introduced, hospitalisation for acute myocardial infarction has reduced by 22 percent.
The Union has worked with Uruguay's government since 2014, offering technical assistance and building capacity to improve tobacco control policies, evaluate policy impact, and improve enforcement, in the context of a Bloomberg Initiative (BI) grant.
A 5-year strategic tobacco control plan to guide government actions during President Vázquez's current tenure was developed as an outcome of this collaboration. The Union will continue to support the government of Uruguay, as it focuses on plain packaging and countering industry interference over the next months.


A common definition of e-commerce of selling products on a click of a mouse through payment gateways for prescription drug and body supplements now has extended to a fully grown business activity. Ranging from a leading fashion apparel brand to banking and financial services, now more and more businesses are conducted through an E-commerce business module. With better proliferated version, E-commerce now covers business information sharing, business relationships and business transactions. It has adapted and adequately recognized for marketing methods as B to B and B to C.
As evident, most latest and all pervasive method to do business in modern times, E-commerce is not merely a set of computers connected on Interne, but is the most comprehensive method of doing business, online.
However, the expansion of e-commerce in a region depends upon several factors that determine its structure and operations. The most crucial areas that influence performance of e-commerce in region includes technology used political factors, social factors and economical factors.
In the range of technological factor, it is the telecommunication infrastructure that controls the operations of e-commerce in cyberspace. Providing the backbone infrastructure and architecture for running an e-commerce venture internet service providers, bandwidth, services like ADSL, ISDN play an important role.
Along with technological factor, the political factors as well can't be ignored for running an online business. Being the nature of business occurring even across national boundaries, the government support is of optimal value for financial operations and developing new technology under e-commerce. Legislations and public policies also play an important role in defining the structure and behavior of e-commerce in a country.
But without the consideration of masses, which will use the facilities, any discussion on e-commerce is futile. Social factors as the working population in the country, their educational standard, penetration of computers and computer literacy are the factors that determine the future of any e-business in a country.
Finally, economic scenario in a region can't be ignored in the purview of development and proliferation of e-commerce in an area or region. GDP, average income, technological expenditure, research and reinvention in business models are crucial for an e-business to flourish and grow, successfully.


Shia's new film, Disturbia, which is still in theaters, is a certified box office hit and most reviews were good.
It was officially announced, on April 14, that Shia will have a large, but yet undefined role in Indiana Jones IV.
There has been speculation that Shia will play Indiana Jones' son. As in the previous three "Indy" films, Harrison Ford will play Indiana Jones. Like Shia LaBeouf, Ford is the child of a father who is not Jewish and a Jewish mother. Unlike Shia, who was raised Jewish, Ford was raised without religion and has never adhered to any religious faith.
Interestingly, in the third Indiana Jones movie, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, (1989), the role of "Young Indy" was played by River Phoenix, a very talented actor who tragically died of a drug overdose in 1993. Like Shia LaBeouf and Harrison Ford, River Phoenix was the son of an interfaith marriage.
Jennifer Westfeldt, 37, co-stars in the ABC series, "Notes from the Underbelly," which premiered on Thursday, April 12. The show is about how Jennifer's character's pregnancy affects her and her marriage. Right now, "Notes" airs on Wednesdays at 8:30 p.m., but check your local listings. Past episodes can be viewed at ABC's website.
Westfeldt, who is Jewish on her mother's side and identifies as Jewish, is best known as the star and co-writer of Kissing Jessica Stein, a 2001 indie film hit about a straight Jewish woman who is dissatisfied with the guys she is meeting and ends up having an intense but short-lived lesbian affair with a woman from a different faith background.
However, Westfeldt is used to putting herself in fictional situations that don't quite match her biography. Unlike the fictional Jessica Stein, Westfeldt says that she has never had a lesbian affair. To add to the irony, the woman who played Jennifer's lesbian lover in Kissing, Heather Juergersen, is also straight in real life. Juergensen co-wrote Kissing with Westfeldt.
Westfeldt is also the writer and star of the indie film Ira and Abby. It's a romantic comedy that Westfeldt is now showing at film festivals, but has not been generally released. In this movie, Westfeldt plays a woman who marries a Jewish guy after a whirlwind courtship. A major theme is the cultural and religious differences between the couple's families.
Again–perhaps with some irony–Westfeldt cast herself as Abby, the blonde woman, while an actor of another faith (Chris Messina) who looks somewhat stereotypically Jewish plays Ira, the Jewish guy.
Variety gave the film a pretty good review and I am looking forward to seeing it. I suspect that Westfeldt, coming from an interfaith background, got "right" a lot of details about an interfaith relationship.
For example, in Kissing Jessica Stein, Westfeldt avoided the temptation to turn Jessica Stein's Jewish mother (wonderfully underplayed by Tovah Feldshuh) into a stereotypical screaming Jewish mother who freaks when her daughter has a lesbian affair. Rather, the mother was a multi-dimensional person who sensitively tried to understand what her daughter was going through.
A few weeks ago, I got the first of what I call "election year chain e-mails." Somewhere out there in "Jewish community land" somebody created an e-mail heralding the so-called Jewish ties of two major current political figures. (I have already received this e-mail from three separate people).
In 2000, I was amused when I got a chain e-mail passed-on among groups of Jews. This 2000 election year e-mail claimed that the mainstream media had it all wrong. Senator Joseph Lieberman was NOT the first Jewish vice-presidential candidate running on a major party ticket. No, said the e-mail writer, the first Jewish vice-presidential candidate was, in fact, Levi Morton, a Republican who served as vice-president under President Benjamin Harrison (1889-1893).
What was the evidence for Morton being Jewish? This e-mail didn't spell it out, but it strongly implied that somebody with the first name "Levi" had to be Jewish! I checked reliable sources and dug-out that Levi Morton was of old WASP stock and his father was a Protestant minister. I told this to people who sent me the "Morton e-mail," but repeat copies of this absurd e-mail just kept coming.
The "son-in-law" this e-mail is referring to is Dr. Andrew Schiff (called Drew Schiff), who married Al Gore's daughter, Kareena, in 1997.
Again, what we have in this 2007 e-mail is the "Levi Morton effect": the assumption that having a "Jewish" name (i.e,, "Schiff" or "Nathan") means the person with that name is Jewish.
Yes, Dr. Drew Schiff is the great-great-grandson of the famous Jewish banker and philanthropist Jacob Schiff. However, while Drew Schiff is proud of being related to Jacob Schiff, he is only one-quarter Jewish by ancestry and was raised an Episcopalian. Schiff and Gore were married in the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.
Mayor Giluani's current and third wife, Judith Nathan, also has a "Jewish" last name. However, like Rudy Giuliani, Judith Nathan was born into and raised in an Italian Catholic family. Also, like Rudy, Judith Nathan has been married three times. Her second husband, Bruce Nathan, is Jewish, and Judith kept his last name after they divorced.
Why do so many Jews apparently believe these factually wrong e-mails and send them on?
My theory is that these e-mails tend to circulate among an older and more traditional group of Jews. In this group, there is still a certain disconnect about the fact that so many Jews are in an interfaith marriage and that a "Jewish" name can have explanations other than that a famous person is Jewish. It can mean absolutely nothing–the name simply "sounds Jewish." Or a "Jewish" name can mean the person has quite remote Jewish ancestry. Or, as in the case of Judith Nathan, a Jewish last name simply means that the person had a Jewish ex-husband.
These e-mail writers are using a clue (names) about who is Jewish that was always shaky and is now very unreliable. Sadly, an absurd amount of Jewish people who receive these e-mails believe them and proudly send them on.
Interestingly, these same "chain" e-mail writers always seem to miss really interesting stories of Jewish persons related to famous non-Jewish politicians–the stories of persons who came into the Jewish community because of intermarriage. In some sense, their stories are the flip side of Drew Schiff's family history.
Two names sprang to my mind: Rabbi Joshua Boettiger, a Reconstructionist rabbi who is the grandson of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Claudia Taylor Brod, a convert to Judaism and granddaughter of President Lyndon Johnson.
Rabbi Boettiger's interesting path to becoming a practicing Jew and studying for the rabbinate was detailed in this article, originally published in The (New York) Jewish Week.
An update: Joshua Boettiger has completed his rabbinical studies and is now the rabbi of Congregation Beth-El, in Bennington, Vt.
Claudia Taylor Brod is the youngest child of Luci Baines Johnson, LBJ's youngest daughter. Brod met and married Dr. Steven Silvers, a Jewish physician, and converted to Judaism in 2003.


Although the 2005 edition, Major League Baseball 2K5, had the ESPN taken out of its title, it was still powered by ESPN. The game included Web Gems instant replays, K-Zone pitching, Slam Zone hitting, and baserunner mode. The game was released in late February 2005 on the PlayStation 2 and Xbox consoles. The cover baseball player was Yankee shortstop Derek Jeter.


An international stolen instrument alert has been issued for a 1840 Giovanni Francesco Pressenda violin – stolen from a home in Pukekohe, Auckland on the evening of the 12th of August, 2018.
The instrument bears the label: "Joannes Franciscus Pressenda fecit Tauri anno Domini 1840".
At the time of the robbery the violin was in a black Uenoetto Riboni case – also containing two bows.
The violin is valued at approximately US $500,000.
"I believe the theft happened in my home in Pukekohe whilst we were having a dinner party in my living room … It is my belief someone went into the bedroom and stole the instrument from under a bed …" the owner has told The Violin Channel.
If you have an information, please urgently contact: Auckland Police.

Are solar-powered homes an economic necessity?
TAGS: Solar Enery Renewable Energy residential
Entrepreneurs, environmentalists and the government have debated the benefits, both economic and environmental, of solar-powered homes for the last few decades.
Teneshia Naidoo | Jan 10, 2021
While solar has traditionally been viewed through an environmental lens, it has become increasingly economically critical and essential for the long-term value of a property.
This is according to Canadian custom home builder, Deimira Paa Baidoo, who argues for the prioritisation of solar power as both an economic and environmental necessity for new homebuyers.
Deimira Baidoo is a sustainable home builder, who focuses on creating homes that are both built with sustainable materials and of low impact on the environment.
"Solar is traditionally viewed solely through an environmental lens, but it is increasingly becoming economically critical, both for the current costs of home ownership and for the long-term value of the property," he says.
Baidoo makes the case for the necessity of prioritising the installation of solar panels, not only because of issues around sustainability but also because of the benefits it lends to the economy; monthly costs of solar panels are seen as a cost savings over other forms of electricity that tend to be far more expensive.
In addition, Baidoo argues that home values of properties without solar will decrease at a faster rate than properties that already have existing solar systems.
Governments across the world are looking at how solar will shape their green agenda and the property market. For example, the UAE will invest AED 600 billion until 2050 to meet the growing energy demand and ensure the sustainable growth of economy.
The Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050, which was launched by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, aims to provide 7% of Dubai's total power output from clean energy by 2020. Plans are in place to increase it to 25% by 2030 and 75% by 2050. From initiatives to the Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, which is the largest single-site solar power project in the world, to the UAE being committed to reducing its global solar power costs, the UAE's agenda to promote clean energy is among its top priorities for 2021.

'Fear the Walking Dead's Jenna Elfman Discusses June's Surprising Change of Heart
By Alex Zalben Twitter @azalben Nov 15, 2020 at 10:05pm 226 Shares
Each episode of Fear the Walking Dead Season 6 has had a different focus, with different characters in the expansive ensemble taking the forefront; and this week's "Bury Her Next To Jasper's Leg" was no different, turning squarely to June Dorie (Jenna Elfman).
Though June turned up briefly a few weeks back, this time around June is center stage as (spoilers past this point) an explosion at the oil refinery brings the former trauma nurse directly into conflict with Virginia (Colby Minifie), who is using the opportunity to find out more info about a group working to destabilize her own burgeoning society. Not only does the event lead to June getting her own hospital after cutting off Virginia's hand — the latter got bit by a zombie, so don't worry, it was a favor — but also leads to the haunted John Dorie (Garret Dillahunt) driving in another direction from June, literally.
To find out more about the episode, including how a deleted scene would have shown June's reaction to John leaving, read on.
Decider: Because of the pseudo-anthology format this season, you've been able to embrace different genres… This episode — at least in part — was almost like a medical drama in certain areas. What was it like to tackle that, versus the regular mode of Fear The Walking Dead?
Jenna Elfman: We had an amazing consultant for me… For the opening scene inside the truck when I'm prepping to do the surgery on him, I think we rehearsed that for three hours, not on the day of filming. I was, "Guys, I really need to get my head wrapped around this because, also, she was a trauma nurse, and an ICU nurse." And when people have this kind of training and do it for as long as she has, there's so many things that are just a second nature, and they're not… They don't go into hysterics at an emergency. Their job is, especially trauma, is very calm, and everyone has their job. And this is [all] background. So when you're on a learning curve, you have to learn everything there is.
You know, when you're learning your lines, you have to learn everything about it, and then throw it away so that you can be very organic. I'm deeply grateful to nurses and respectful of EMTs and grateful for them. I'll always want to honor them when I'm playing June. So I just really wanted to do it right, and he was so helpful. So that was just for the opening scene. And then for the scene, when I arrived at the oil fields, when you're assessing a trauma situation, you have to triage. … I was picking his brain constantly, going, what are the things you're looking for? Because it's all observing and calculating. Observing and calculating and deciding action. Observe, calculate, decide, action, execute.
It's written that [way when] I'm entering, and walking in, it's all the dialogue, but I had to build in there. She has to triage, and she has to assign, and delegate while triaging… Once we get in there and we get into the area with all the people, again, triage the staff, delegate, handle, end of the scene. And all of the emotions, and the dynamics, and the relationships… It was all a lot — in a great way — because it was very stimulating, and he was right there the whole way helping me. So, I'm just so grateful for that.
At the end of the episode, John and June are heading in separate directions after we've seen them just get back together, at least in terms of TV time. Did June know that John was probably going to leave when they were driving off together?
There was a scene where we see June, see him drive away. But then we had a problem with the truck, and then COVID hit. And so we didn't do it. So originally as written, you would have seen June's response to seeing him pull away.
I don't think June thought he would ever do that. Not in a million years. … Because when she parts ways with him, she's, "You will follow behind. Right?" And she's on this high of having gotten Ginny to give her the hospital, and she's trying to say this is us now, it's new. We can change. Now's a new moment. There's some other threats. It's not just Ginny. I think she's being optimistic and trustworthy and having faith, because he won't tell her what's really eating at him. She doesn't actually know what happened. He won't tell her. So she's a little bit in an enforced naive condition on this whole thing.

Who Dies in 'The Walking Dead' Series Finale?
The scene where you're with Ginny, she's been bit, and you have to decide whether to cut off her hand or not is extremely intense… What was it like filming that with Colby Minifie?
She's amazing to work with. She's a fantastic actress and she's so committed. And so in it, which is just great. … I loved having a scene of these two strong women, highly motivated about their own goals, and purposes in conflict. Trying to make the choices relating to their own path of survival, and those paths being in direct conflict, and wrestling with their humanity, and what's important to them. And it's women, not talking about men… It was really delightful and satisfying and fulfilling to do that scene with her.
This episode pulls back to the curtain a little bit on the End is the Beginning people… They seem like pretty bad news. What, if anything, can you tease about that going forward, and how it intersects with June?
I think, I would just say June's committed. She's committed to… She's a committed group member. That's all I can say!

Fire Restrictions To Take Effect Friday Across Northern Arizona
KNAU News Talk - Arizona Public Radio | By Ryan Heinsius
Published May 12, 2021 at 12:33 PM MST
Coconino National Forest
Fire restrictions will go into effect later this week on forests throughout northern Arizona. It comes as the region grapples with record drought amid its driest and warmest months of the year. KNAU's Ryan Heinsius reports.
The Coconino, Kaibab, Tonto and Prescott national forests will enter stage one fire restrictions Friday at 8 a.m. Officials with the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests implemented the ban last week.
The orders limit all fires, charcoal and wood stoves to established recreation sites, and smoking will only be allowed in developed areas.
"We're seeing high visitor use. We're discovering lots of abandoned campfires and then the weather is just getting hotter and drier. Our indices – you know, we're going to be in very high fire danger by the end of the week," says Jeremy Human, deputy fire staff officer for the Coconino National Forest.
He says Coconino officials have discovered 58 abandoned campfires since mid-March. He expects a total ban on all fires to eventually be implemented.
Coconino County and the City of Flagstaff will also begin restrictions Friday.
Much of the state remains in an exceptional drought following two years of limited annual monsoon rains and winter precipitation. Wildfires scorched almost a million acres of federal, state and tribal land in 2020, making it Arizona's second most severe fire season on record.

Chelsea and England midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek a loan target for FC Schalke 04
Date: 14th August 2018 at 10:07am
Written by: Daniel Church
FC Schalke 04 are reportedly set to try and sign England international midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek, according to The Telegraph.
The Bundesliga outfit, who finished second in the German top-flight table last term, have been linked with landing the Chelsea star on loan for the 2018-19 campaign.
The 22-year-old, who has eight international caps for the Three Lions, did not start The Blues' 3-0 Premier League win at Huddersfield Town on Saturday, but did replace fellow midfielder Ross Barkley for the final 20-plus minutes at the John Smith's Stadium.
Loftus-Cheek featured four times for England at this summer's FIFA World Cup finals in Russia, as Gareth Southgate's men finished fourth overall, following defeat to Belgium in the third place play-off.
England's Ruben Loftus-Cheek in action with Panama's Ricardo Avila at the 2018 World Cup.
The report claims German club Schalke are ready to test their luck and attempt to sign the central midfielder on loan, though the chances of the youth graduate leaving Stamford Bridge before the end of the month is rated as 'extremely unlikely'.
It is understood that the England international wants to fight for his place under new manager Maurizio Sarri, despite the club signing fellow midfielder Mateo Kovacic on loan from Real Madrid earlier this month.
Loftus-Cheek is contracted at Chelsea until June 2021, and is valued at £16.2m.

The following is from a previous patient of mine. I'm pleased to be able to share this with you.
I am working on a public service announcement to inform others about Autism Spectrum Disorder. I have made a video using both online tools and hand by hand stop motion. It recalls both personal experience and lots of research. Part of the grade is to have proof that someone or company has used my project. I would really appreciate it if you were to show my video to others in any way you can. Thank you.
While I was at church today I had one of those little God insights and I would like to share this with you. My mother, Mary Murray, prayed for me every day. As I reflect on my life, I am living proof that my mother was consistently intervening on my behalf. It is because of her praying diligently that I am able to write these words today. What a blessing! I encourage you to pray for your sons'/daughters' as well as yourselves. The families that I serve in therapy benefit from a number of various interventions and the spiritual intervention sometimes can be overlooked. When people say "what can I do for you?" feel free to ask them to offer up prayers for you and your child. It's a wonderful gift. There is a book, "The Power of a Praying Parent" by Stormie Omaritan which is a good resource. I have attached a Prayer for Teenagers that my brother, Larry, sent me when our sons' reached their teenage years. It goes as follows….
I would like to weigh in on a few feelings about a question I am often asked. "Should I send them onto kindergarten?" My first and foremost thought is… when in doubt keep them out. You (the parent) know your child best.
My present rule of thumb is, if your son/daughter is born after May 1st, don't send them to kindergarten. It is better that they not be the youngest in the class for the rest of their 12 years of public education. My opinion is driven from 2 factors. The first, kindergarten in the 2010's is really 1st grade. I feel there is a case for what I call BN (Bad Neurology). When your kindergartner is expected to be reading by December and writing 2-3 sentences before Christmas break, I feel this is out of sync with what the average nervous system can accomplish without undue stress at this age.
Read more about "Should I Stay or Go"?
The advantages of having parents actively involved in their child's occupational therapy session is priceless. The past week has been one in which I have at least 5+ kids/families facing the aftermath of the stress of the school day. These children are smart, have great parents who love and fully support them. They are doing well in school, at the top quarter of there class and are well behaved/mannered at school.
I have just recently had a huge "aha moment" with one of my favorite and most recommended therapy tools, the mini-trampoline. I have been using this in the past for high quality, intense, and easily accessible proprioceptive input. I have used it over the years to help kids potty train, cease chewing on their shirts, slow down crashing into everything, improve their ability to sit for meals, help with transitions, improve visual functions and lately improve their ability to sleep at night.
I have parents purchase a 42"-48" mini trampoline from a local sports store. I ask the parents to have their child jump for 60 seconds (longer if they desire) 3 times a day. First prior to eating breakfast or going to school, secondly prior to homework (if prior to dinner) for just 60 seconds, and the third time before bath/shower time (prior to bedtime); this last time I do not encourage going for more than 60 seconds.
Today's savvy teachers are aware of the importance of meeting students' sensory needs in the classroom and even know various strategies to address these needs. At the same time, these teachers can often have difficulty incorporating these strategies into their every day classroom routine. In actuality, it can be very easy to integrate sensory strategies in the daily schedule. Examining a day in the class of one fictitious 1st grade teacher, who is dedicated to running a sensory smart classroom for her 25 students, reveals relatively easy ways most teachers can begin to address their students' sensory needs in the context of the classroom.

Have You Refused a Field Sobriety Test?
Being stopped on suspicion of DUI can be overwhelming. For example, drivers are often pressured by law enforcement to admit guilt on the spot. Even if you have done nothing illegal, prosecutors can trump up charges to make you feel like you must admit guilt in order to avoid penalties. If you have been arrested for a DUI and refused a blood or breath test, you still have options available. Our Bay Area DUI defense attorney can help you understand your rights and build a defense that protects your best interests.
At the Law Offices of Thomas Nicholas Cvietkovich, we have helped hundreds of clients who were arrested for a DUI in the Bay Area. For years, our San Jose criminal law firm has highlighted facts that have strengthened our clients' defense. Our success stems from our years of experience, reliable legal strategies and dedicated, personalized representation. Since our San Jose DUI defense attorney is certified in DUI field sobriety testing procedures, you can be confident that we can find and uphold the facts when you hire our firm.
When Can I Refuse a Field Sobriety Test?
Arrested for DUI: Unfortunately, you can face a license suspension penalty of up to 3 years and a fine if you refuse a field sobriety test after arrest. The additional severity of your penalties will depend on prior convictions and if there is a reckless driving charge involved. In some cases, you can be found guilty even if there is no test proving your blood alcohol content (BAC) was above the legal limit.
Alleged DUI: As a rule, you do not need to submit to a field sobriety test if you are not under arrest. Nonetheless, police may ask you to go through a pre-arrest screening process. In most cases, a breathalyzer or similar device is used which tests levels of alcohol present. In these cases, it can work in your best interest to refuse the test.
What Factors Determine Possible Penalties When I Refuse a Blood Test in California?
BAC Testing Upon Arrest: Once a driver has been arrested for DUI, the implied consent law takes effect, requiring the individual to submit to breath testing at the scene, or blood or urine testing at an available facility. Refusal to submit to testing after an arrest is much more serious, and if convicted of the DUI charge, the act of refusal may result in additional criminal penalties. The subsequent penalties are dependent of the facts of the case and the DUI history of the driver.
Preliminary Sobriety Testing: In conjunction with physical coordination tests, an officer may request that a driver submit to a breath test, commonly called a breathalyzer. At this stage, a driver may refuse the breathalyzer without specific penalty under implied consent. The driver is likely to be arrested on suspicion of DUI and, in some cases, the refusal may be presented as evidence of the driver's knowledge of guilt. Half-hearted or incomplete compliance with the test, such as not blowing hard enough into the device, may be construed as a refusal as well.
Have you been arrested for a DUI or facing DUI allegations? Have you refused a blood, urine or breath sobriety test and have concerns about your rights? You do not need to have your life interrupted by these allegations. Our firm can scrutinize evidence and look for blood test errors or other issues that can help bolster your defense. Our Bay Area DUI defense lawyer, attorney Nick Cvietkovich, is a member of the California DUI Lawyers Association and is certified in DUI field sobriety testing procedures.
We understand that a conviction of DUI is very serious but depends strongly on the following of proper procedure by law enforcement personnel. For this reason, our legal team is prepared to conduct a thorough investigation of the facts surrounding your case, including all of the details related to sobriety and chemical testing. If you are facing DUI charges and refused breath or blood testing, we can help. Contact us online or call the Law Offices of Thomas Nicholas Cvietkovich at (408) 898-9653 to schedule your free consultation.


Another year has come to a close, and so another year begins. With a new year comes the common proclamation, "New Year, New Me". It's no surprise that one of the most common and popular New Year's resolutions is to start living a healthier life. When we're living healthy lives, it seems like other things in life prosper as well. We have more energy, we can think more clearly, and our bodies are better equipped to fight off and prevent sickness.
Let's be real, a New Year's resolution is essentially just words if it doesn't have a good plan. The same goes for living a healthier lifestyle. In fact, a study found that only about 8% of people who make health related resolutions meet their goal. However, making a plan that works isn't always easy, as there are many things in life that compete for our attention, time and money. But even the best plans fall apart if people don't have a support team, or if the plan is to much for the person to take on. Life has a tendency to get in our way, but we also tend to fall of track when our goals are unrealistic or overly complicated.
However, a plan for a healthier lifestyle doesn't have to be complicated. We've narrowed it down to 6 simple steps you can take to live a healthier, happier you in the new year.
The first step to a healthy life is choosing to eat healthier. Simply be mindful of what you eat. This has two meanings, though – it doesn't just mean eat better. Of course, cutting back on fast foods and sweets is a good thing, but mindful eating also means to actually pay attention while you eat. Slow down and take pauses, as studies have found that distracted eating can lead to over eating.
One of the most important things a person can do to live a healthy life is to be sure they're caught up on rest. When a person is behind on sleep, many things can suffer and this can lead to a weakened immune system.
The next step is a simple one that is often overlooked – be grateful! A positive attitude full of gratitude can do more than people realize. Find time during the day to pause and reflect on the things you're grateful for in life. This can help you clear your mind of stress and give you a healthy sense of balance and perspective.
The next step is to find about 30 minutes a day to take a walk or add in some form of physical activity. This can be all at once or broken up into shorter increments based on your schedule. Grab a friend at work and make it part of your new lunch routine. You can even go for an evening stroll with your family (or dog) after dinner.
Taking the stairs instead of elevators is a simple change to make, and it can be very effective. This allows you to be more physically active and can help lead to better cardiovascular health, as well as a stronger heart.
The last step is to commit to a 30-day fitness challenge. Find an activity that you enjoy and commit to it for one month. Many plans fail before they begin because people tend to over-commit to 6 months or a year. However, starting with 30 days is much more manageable. So, find an accountability partner and get to it!
Lastly – after all is said and done, Eagles Landing Family Practice encourages everyone to have regular checkups and screenings.
With a healthcare plan designed to keep you and your loved ones healthy, there's no better time to get started like the New Year. Schedule an appointment today at one of our nine locations, and make 2019 your healthiest, happiest year yet!

State of the state: A&E
Arnie Grossman waited decades for his breakthrough Hollywood moment. It took him all of 35 seconds to get it.
That's how much time Grossman gave himself last November for a carefully rehearsed pitch, describing a movie concept to the agent representing actor Bruce Dern, whose career resurgence was sparked by his Oscar-nominated role as the cantankerous Woody Grant in the 2013 film "Nebraska."
For the 77-year old Grossman, a novelist and political advertising specialist, it was one more pitch in a lifetime pitches, another cold-call message left on somebody else's voice mail.
Ten minutes later the phone rang.
Dern's agent was on the line. He liked the idea – a story about a crusty old man, an odd, homemade boat and a 10-year-old boy. He liked it enough to ask for an emailed copy of the screenplay that night. He liked the screenplay enough to pass it along to Dern's business partner. And Bruce Dern – that Bruce Dern – liked it enough to greenlight it for production during a narrow window of availability this spring. The cherry on top? Grossman gets to direct his own movie. He's been flying back to Los Angeles every week or so since to cast actors, scout locations and enlist a crew to start building the peculiar vessel that gives the movie its name: "The Boat Builder."
Sipping coffee on a sunny Saturday afternoon at Stella's Coffee Haus in south Denver, Grossman recounted the story.
"A thousand doors slammed," he said. "And then one opened."
Grossman isn't a newbie to Hollywood altogether. He lived in L.A. from 1992 to 1998, writing or directing for series including "The Love Boat" and "Real Stories of the Highway Patrol." He co-wrote two published novels with former Colorado governor Richard Lamm. A fourth novel, a political satire titled "Love in the Time of Loons," was published in 2011. Meanwhile, most of Grossman's income came from producing advertising campaigns for Colorado political candidates, starting with a series of TV spots in 1972 introducing Denver democrat and former U.S. Rep. Patricia Schroeder.
Grossman, a University of Denver graduate, hopes to parlay his work with Dern into a bigger role for Colorado in feature filmmaking. He wants to see his Denver-based company, Reunion Films LLC, produce another five films after "The Boat Builder," focusing on stories "that appeal to the heart and to the intellect."
The lesson from Grossman's unexpected collaboration with Dern? "Don't ever give up," he says. "I took a chance at one more rejection. If I can do it at my age, anybody can."

Cod Roe: A Scandinavian Delicacy
Torskerogn, or cod roe, is popular across all of Scandinavia. It is spread on rye bread in Danish daycares, squeezed from toothpaste-like tubes in Sweden, and harvested as a seasonal delicacy during the Norwegian winter months.
Torskerogn is an unassuming but interesting food, with a rich and long history rooted in Scandinavia's Viking past.
Find out about Scandinavia's love affair with cod roe, from what it is to how to cook it:
A brief history of Scandinavian cod
For over a millennia, cod has been culturally and commercially important in Scandinavia. Dried stores of Atlantic cod sustained Norse seafarers as they followed the cold-water fish from Norway to Canada via Iceland and Greenland.
The Vikings were the first to set up the Europe-wide cod trade, bartering boats-full of the flakey white meat for spices, wines, and other foreign goods.
In recent history, disputes over cod fishing rights resulted in a decades-long confrontation between Iceland and the United Kingdom. These series of maritime collisions known as the "Cod Wars" ended in 1976 with a victorious Iceland expanding its fishery zone from 50 to 200 nautical miles around the island.
The Guardian, 2 June 1976: Cod Wars
While all of Scandinavia has cod, Norway is home to the largest stocks of the "white gold" in the world. Cod has been credited with shaping the nation and king among them is the migratory skrei – a Norwegian-Arctic cod that travels from the Barents Sea to the Lofoten Islands to reproduce.
The name comes from the Norse word for "wanderer" and reflects the 1,000-kilometer journey that the skrei takes between January and April every year. When the skrei arrive it's a time for celebration. They're caught by the millions and exported for their prized meat, liver, and, of course, cod roe.
What is code roe?
Aside from delicious, hard roe is the unfertilized eggs of a female cod, and soft roe is the sperm (I know, but stay with us) of a male cod.
The delicacy is often confused with caviar, but caviar is made using sturgeon eggs that must be cured or salted and packed to achieve the moniker, whereas roe can come from any number of fish (in this case cod) and is more likely to be boiled, smoked, and fried – or even eaten fresh.
Is cod roe healthy?
Extremely. It's low in fat and high in everything else. Danish tots get canned cod roe year-round due to its high vitamin D, B12, omega-3, and selenium content.
What does cod roe taste like
Cod roe is served cold, so it has a fresh bite to it. The primary taste is salty, with a slightly fishy flavor.
How to eat cod roe
Cod roe is not sold as loose eggs like caviar or tobiko. It's harvested in an intact ovarian sac and has a similar structure and appearance to sweetbread and other organ meats. Torskerogn is eaten in a variety of ways across Scandinavia but generally, it's either smoked or boiled in parchment paper before being sliced, battered, fried, chilled, or whipped into a Nordic-style taramasalata.
In Denmark, fresh torskerogn is a winter specialty that's served as a smørrebrød with Greenlandic shrimp, mayonnaise, dill, lemon, and rye bread.
In Sweden, cod roe is famously eaten from a toothpaste-like tube. The blue and yellow Kalles Kaviar tube has been a Swedish pantry staple since the 1950s and is usually squeezed over sliced hard-boiled eggs and bread.

Kalles Kaviar is the equivillant of Marmite or Vegemite. Swedes love it, but for the rest of us, it can take some getting used to. In fact, ABBA, the manufacturer of Kalles uses this as a selling point in their commercials, with the tagline: "A very unique Swedish taste."
While cod roe spreads are also popular in Norway, the true delicacy is a nose-to-tail dish from a Norwegian-Arctic cod called mølje. Traditionally a fisherman's meal, it's made by boiling the cod roe, liver, and meat with potatoes in a single saucepan with water and nothing else. Contemporary mølje is far more involved and includes salt, pepper, and spices, in addition to a souring agent like buttermilk, vinegar, or lemon.
When is the best time to try Scandinavian cod roe?
Canned torskerogn from major brands like Kalles Kaviar, Amanda, or King Oscar is available in grocery stores all year round in Scandinavia. Fresh cod roe will be served in restaurants during the winter, from January – March. If you're after a taste of the Norwegian-Arctic cod skrei or møjle, this would be the best time to visit Norway.
How to cook cod roe?
The most simple way is to poach it, which gives you the base ingredient for plenty of delightful dishes. Wrap the fresh sacks loosely in baking paper and poach them gently in salted water with a little vinegar for roughly 10 minutes. Drain and allow the cod roe to rest until slightly cool. It can now be cut into slices, eaten hot as a dinner dish, fried in butter, or used as a topping.

Themed concerts are ten-a-penny. Much rarer are ones which stimulate the imagination and confound lazy preconceptions with music that's mutually illuminating. The BPO's War and Peace concert was one such. Everything was played with conviction, flair and dedication, creating a truly memorable afternoon. Superficially Berg's ThreeFragments from his opera Wozzeck and Vaughan Williams' Pastoral Symphony inhabit widely separated music worlds: Viennese atonal expressionism versus English pastoralism. Only superficially: actually a skein of cultural and historical threads connect these works which were forged in the fire-storm of World War I, in which both composers served.
Michael Lloyd's alert conducting, and players who rose to every technical challenge – horns, first trumpet and brass section take a bow – ensured that, confounding those lazy expectations, so much tender lyricism emerged from Berg's harrowing score while VW's anything-but-cosy pastoralism was shadow-tinged and bleak. The technical difficulties in Berg are obvious but the symphony has its pitfalls too. Four slowish movements can easily sag or become indistinguishable but Lloyd and the BPO ensured they were individualized.
Natasha Day's radiant soprano was crucial in both works: a passionate, yearning Marie seduced by the pugnacious macho posturing of Berg's deliberately hollow martial music and as the wonderfully soothing, wordless other-worldly off-stage voice providing a final benediction at the symphony's end. Both works were prefaced by a movement from Holst's Planets Suite; Lloyd giving Mars a slow but inexorable tread – the hall's bright acoustic sharpening its cutting edge – and then the balm of Venus The Bringer of Peace.

3A Boys State Recap: Josh Methner... and St. Charles East!
IHSA State Championship
The 3A championship highlight reel is unbelievable
RESULTS I VIDEOS I PHOTOS
Peoria IL-
Craig Virgin, Detweiller Park, 50 years of state meets, great weather, and the best fans in the country is a recipe for something special. Josh Methner (Sr., Hersey) is the heavy favorite to repeat as champion. Wheaton-Warrenville South is also a defending champion- in the team bracket. The Tigers were smarting from a tough loss to York at sectionals last weekend. Now their eyes were set in on the big favorite St. Charles East.
St. Charles East came into the state admittedly with some pressure on their backs. For a team never having a state trophy in their possession, the feeling of despair could overcome even the most talented groups. York, on the other hand, has 28 state championship gold plaques in their trophy cases. They also brought a boatload of fans to keep matters hyped up.
The #1 Saints did not let any pressure get to them once the race got underway, top runners Bob Liking (Sr.) and Micah Wilson (So.) moved to the front of the pack to establish themselves. Aidan King (Sr.) joined shortly after the opening incline climb to form a dominant trio. Add in a fourth all-stater Luke Schildmeyer (Jr.) to make it a great quartet.
Defending champion and #2 Wheaton South put up a great fight. The Tigers countered with their own group of four tough runners. William Hauenstein (Sr.) and David Zeller (Sr.) led the attack with eighth and thirteenth placements overall. Coincidently, Hauenstein placed eighth a year ago in 14:38.
Races are usually won with the fifth runner and if the Saints did not have so much firepower up front, they would have been in trouble. Such as the case was a slim and nail-biting 64-68 victory for the Saints.
York had a rough day outside of Daniel Klysh (Sr.) who was the only all-stater for the Dukes who had visions of taking the title. The scoring spread was solid but the pack was too far back to make an impact.
Sandburg was a few ticks away from gaining another trophy. They had the same issue as York with the scoring split too far down despite bit honors from twins seniors Ben Giblin and Will Giblin.
1 St. Charles East High School 64 4+5+11+17+27 (65+107) 0:24 1-5 Split | 14:41 Avg
2 Wheaton Warrenville South High School 68 6+10+15+18+19 (78+143) 0:16 1-5 Split | 14:43 Avg
3 York High School 153 8+33+34+38+40 (66+83) 0:31 1-5 Split | 14:57 Avg
4 Sandburg High School 156 7+9+28+42+70 (131+144) 0:47 1-5 Split | 14:55 Avg
5 Oswego East High School 189 25+26+29+30+79 (92+108) 0:33 1-5 Split | 15:02 Avg
6 Maine South High School 206 13+24+36+51+82 (141+157) 0:46 1-5 Split | 15:04 Avg
It is sometimes hard to tell what Methner is thinking whenever he is on the racecourse. He has a smooth persona character that sports a mischievous like smile at any given time. But at the same time, he is incredibly serious about the task at hand. Such was the case for Methner who conversed with his coaches earlier in the week about the race game plan. He wanted to run 4:35 for the first mile and then go 4:30 the second and see what he had left in the tank down the stretch.
The opening half-mile was fast! He led a fleeting pack through 2:07 and later 4:28. That opening mile was faster than Chris Derrick and Lukas Verzbicas ran for their initial mile. They were the last two serious threats to the legendary Craig Virgin's immortal record. Virgin was on hand at the park assisting and volunteering when he got the news of Methner's early sizzling pace.
Meanwhile, an unassuming Tyler Cushing (Sr., Bolingbrook) was in the midst of running the race of his life. Cushing in no way was trying to go 4:28 the first mile as Methner did. He held his own against one of the deepest fields in state history. Cushing was under 4:35 followed by Jared Kreis (Sr., Lincoln-Way Central), Jake Allen (Sr., Naperville North), Ian Geisler (Sr., Huntley), and a few other notables.
This race was all Methner who turned up the volume next max level in the backwoods as he hit the halfway point in 6:46. He was on 13:30 pace at the moment, but how would he feel at two-miles?
Methner clocked 9:12 with one mile to go. This pace was just one second slower than what Verzbicas ran in 2010. The crowd was sensing something special with just a half-mile to go and later 200. "I could see the clock and it said 13:25," said Methner. He put his foot down to the medal and... through the finish line in 13:49!!! To be clear, he was a full second of Virgin's 13:50.6. Virgin immediately embraced Methner and passed the mantle albeit several generations later. This record is especially special since Illinois is revered as one of the elite grounds for distance running talent and so many great athletes have run at Detweiller.

What is Selective Distribution?
Selective distribution involves limiting an item's availability to certain market.
Some companies may withhold their products from being sold at drugstores or other types of retailers.
Selective distribution is a retail strategy that involves making a product or group of products available only in certain markets. This is the opposite of open distribution, where a product line is distributed to as many markets as possible. There are several reasons for employing this approach, including the potential for limiting competition and minimizing distribution costs so that net profits are higher.
The selective distribution process focuses on identifying specific markets where a company's products are highly likely to be favored by consumers in the area, while avoiding distribution to areas where there is less of a chance of gaining a significant market share. Often, this situation comes about because a number of similar products are already available through certain markets, and the level of competition is higher. By choosing to distribute goods through handpicked retailers within certain geographic regions, it is possible to avoid some of this competition, while still tapping into the demand for products of that type.
One approach that some businesses take is to contract with a limited number of retailers that will sell the products in their stores. For example, a company making a specific brand of cologne may choose to only allow their product to be sold at a few high-end department stores and withhold distribution to supermarkets, drugstores, and discount retailers. The idea is that, by focusing on consumers who are more likely to shop at one or more of the high-end stores, the product begins to be seen as somewhat prestigious and will command a higher price per unit.
Along with the selection of retailers, a company may choose to limit distribution of its products to specific geographical areas. This is sometimes the case where there is a strong demand for a given product, but very few opportunities to purchase the product locally. In this scenario, the manufacturer may identify specific retailers with stores in those geographical areas and make arrangements for those products to be carried on their shelves. The retailers benefit from being able to offer a product that is not widely available in the area, while the manufacturer stands to increase sales by having little to no competition from similar products within that area.
It is important to draw a distinction between exclusive distribution and selective distribution. An exclusive model would involve the identification of a single retailer to offer the product within a particular market and would also call for the retailer to not carry competing brands. This is not often the best approach for the manufacturer or the retailer, in that it limits options to reach consumers. A selective model does not prevent retailers from selling at least one similar product, and does not limit the manufacturer from working with other retailers in the area to carry the product line. Under normal circumstances, the selective approach is much more likely to maximize profits in a given market than the exclusive approach.

Selective distribution means the company selects some shops like x,y,z to sell a product.
BambooForest
Often, if a product does really well under selective distribution, it might be released more widely, though that can be a tricky thing. Sometimes distributing more widely can lower a product's perceived value, though it can please people who really like it and have a hard time finding the product.
mitchell14
Another example of selective distribution can be seen through the movie industry. Many "indie", or independent, movies are distributed very selectively. This relates both to these movies' smaller distribution budgets and also their niche customer bases. A documentary on something like graffiti, for example, like the recent movie Exit Through the Gift Shop, is going to do best at smaller theaters in more artistic communities than small towns or shopping mall multiplexes.

Deconstructing "Call me Maybe" Lyrics (aka sisters are doing it to themselves)
Lyrics*:
I threw a wish in the well,
Don't ask me, I'll never tell
I looked to you as it fell,
And now you're in my way
Many cultures throughout history have regarded water, because of its vital necessity to human existence, as a sacred gift from the gods. The idea of a wishing well, a body of water which will grant wishes, comes from this tradition.
I'd trade my soul for a wish,
Pennies and dimes for a kiss
I wasn't looking for this,
But now you're in my way
Our protagonist would trade her soul for this wish! The wish turns out to be for a man, ergo this woman would trade her soul for a man. Would someone get Gloria Steinem on the line? And yet at the same time our protagonist "wasn't looking for this" thing she wished for? Me thinks she doth lie too much, but let's continue.
Your stare was holdin',
Ripped jeans, skin was showin'
Hot night, wind was blowin'
Where you think you're going, baby?
Initially, it would seem the object of this woman's affection is interested. He is looking at her intently. His pants are ripped? Is he poor? Unlikely. In fact, in the era in which this was written purposefully-torn pants were in fashion, an indication of one's level of style. Most jeans of this type are very expensive so from this limited information we can assume the man in question has means or at least we know the money he does have is spent on appearing fashionable. What follows, hot night, wind was blowin', is an indication of the season. And while it may be a stretch, I'd like to posit that perhaps this is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the protagonist as sometimes a talkative woman is referred to as a windbag. It may be an oblique reference but not completely unfounded as you will soon see our protagonist is quite repetitive. Further scholarly research is required to establish this as historical fact. But unsupported or not let this be a lesson to all young girls—less is more.
Hey, I just met you,
And this is crazy,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?
It's important to remember this love letter/poem/Internet sensation is from a brief era of extreme experimentation when the male/female paradigm was turned upside down. Woman took on the role of aggressor typically reserved for the male and since the heterosexual male couldn't take on the role of female he had no role at all (except to take women's numbers and call them, maybe). And, for the record, she knows it's crazy…
You took your time with the call,
I took no time with the fall
You gave me nothing at all,
But still, you're in my way
This is a classic example of the come here/go away syndrome many couples engage in otherwise known as Bossy-the-Cow-runs-after-Mr.-Good-for-Nothing. She herself says he gave her "nothing at all" which only serves to make Bossy run faster. Poor Bossy. As my Grandma Etty would say, this young man of interest is as cool as the other side of the pillow. Bottom line is the man should always want it more and, as my Uncle Ezra would say, this one would rather chase sheep.
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
I missed you so, so bad
This is an interesting use of tense to create emotion, ie missing someone before you have met them (also, and less interesting, is this example of protagonist as repetitive windbag). It's like in the movies when someone drinks a love potion and falls in love with the next thing that crosses their path. Everyone in the audience wants to yell, "Don't kiss the troll. It's the potion talking, stupid!" And after this man's rebuffing he is still "in her way". Really? I would argue the protagonist herself is the only thing in her way, living inside her pretty little head and running after unavailable metrosexuals in ripped jeans. Let's hope someday soon she sees the light. Unlikely but…maybe.
