Award-Winning Drama Makes Its Canadian Debut; JuneBug Filmsâ "Planting Melvin" Screens at ReelHeART International Film Festival
Menlo Park, CA (PRWEB) June 20, 2006
Since making its debut at the prestigious Cinequest Film Festival last year, "Planting Melvin" has won acclaim â and awards â for its positive depiction of women and promotion of female empowerment. Toronto filmgoers will have their first opportunity to see the award-winning drama when "Planting Melvin" makes its Canadian debut during the ReelHeART International Film Festival, June 19-24, 2006.
The film screens on June 21 at 9:15 p.m. at Innis Town Hall at Innis College, University of Toronto, 2 Sussex Ave. For ticket information, visit http://www.reelheart.org.
"Planting Melvin" focuses on the lives of two seemingly opposite characters: Billie, a beautiful socialite dealing with the physical and emotional effects of an abusive marriage; and Melvin, a dying World War II vet with secrets of his own. This unlikely friendship becomes their safe harbor as they confront their individual issues and learnâtogether âone of lifeâs most difficult lessons ⦠letting go.
As the filmâs writer, director and producer, Kari Nevil of California-based JuneBug Films, is thrilled with the positive response "Planting Melvin" has received from audiences at film festivals across the country.
âBecause JuneBug is an all-female film company, we are especially committed to the positive representation of women and empowering them to find a better life for themselves and their children,â Nevil said. âThe fact that the film has been so well received by audiences says a lot about the progress weâre making in our society toward the advancement of women. And we are very excited about bringing our film to Toronto and sharing our message as part of ReelHeART.â
In addition to praise from audiences, "Planting Melvin" has won acclaim from advocacy groups and arts organizations including its recent selection by the National Film Review Board of Canada for ârepresenting anti-violence against women and children in an international way.â
"Planting Melvin," starring Irene Bedard (Smoke Signals), Yvette Freeman (ER), Alma Martinez (Born in East LA), Don Most (Happy Days), Hal Robinson (Paulie) and Richard Van Vleet (All My Children), screens on June 21 at 9:15 p.m. at Innis Town Hall at Innis College, University of Toronto, 2 Sussex Ave. For ticket information, visit http://www.reelheart.org.
JuneBug Films was founded by Kari Nevil in 1990. She ran the company out of her purple house in San Francisco before the group moved into American Zoetrope with Francis Coppola. Today, JuneBug Films operates out of Menlo Park with a team of L.A. and San Francisco-based collaborators that provide filmed entertainment in the form of narrative features, documentaries, short films, music videos and corporate films.
JuneBug Films has created features including "At Risk" (Vince Vaughnâs first feature), "Your Guardian" and "Planting Melvin."

Acorn Penny Screens at Cleveland Museum of Art
Cleveland, OH (Vocus) August 4, 2010
The Acorn Penny, a short film by filmmaking father â daughter team Laufer Film, will have its Cleveland premier at the Cleveland Museum of Art on Friday, August 13th, 2010. The short will play in front of the Brazilian feature documentary Only When I Dance.
The movie recently won first prize in the Twin Riverâs Film fest. Joanna Connors of the Cleveland Plain Dealer
âThough news reports from the war in the Congo depict a nightmare of atrocities, Laufer was determined to make a film that would alert viewers to the war without using violence.â
The movies also was shown at the Los Angeles Womenâs International Film Festival and was well received at the second annual Amelia Island Film Festival. The film was covered in Michelle Eggerâs article for the Jacksonville Nassau Sun. The short film was also selected to be shown at the âShort Film Cornerâ a market for short films held at the Cannes International Film Festival, May 12 â 22nd.
The Acorn Penny is a short film of hope. An artistic work of fiction that shines a light on a forgotten part of the world. A call to aid for the living and a remembrance of the estimated 6.9 million people who have died in the Democratic Republic of the Congo since 1998 in what is called the Mineral Wars.
The Acorn Penny is a wondrous story of the power of a child's dream to save herself and the world around her. When four magical acorns fall to her feet, Kinshasa's dream of the future unfolds into an adventure she never imagined she could call her own. As she rediscovers her African past, the war torn present and her wondrous potential she realizes she must fight the forces that stand in her way, for no one else will.
This award winning short film was shot on the Red Camera utilizing background plates from the United Nations High Commission on Refugees, and the Cleveland Museum of Art. The Acorn Penny successfully brings together a dream world and a reality that viewers are immediately drawn into. This beautiful story of the potential of one girls dreams of the future is not to be missed.
The Acorn Penny recently won 1st place at the Twin Rivers Media Festival in Asheville, North Carolina. Playing to an embracing crowd, this short film of just fourteen minutes has open hearts and minds to the enormity of the crisis happening in the DRC, Democratic Republic of the Congo in regards to the mining of Conflict Minerals and the plight of women in this worn torn country.
The Acorn Penny has actively handed out information from two non-for profits that are currently working in the Congo. The Hope For The Congo program based in Washington DC and the International Relief Commission in New York City. Its been important, whenever our film screens that we have information about agencies that are playing a part in the recovery and healing of the DRC. Laufer said âWeâve been spreading the word, and hopefully people have learned something new about this conflict after attending our screenings.â
LauferFilm.com was founded in 1996 by Georgetown University grads Bill and Tiffany Laufer. Bill and Tiffany Laufer are a father – daughter film team who recently finish the new Christmas feature film Christmas at Maxwellâs.

Mayor John Hickenlooper announced the appointment of Ronald Perea as Manager of Safety. Perea will begin work June 1, and replace Al LaCabe, who is retiring effective June 30.
"We are pleased to welcome Ron back to Denver," Mayor Hickenlooper said. "Ron brings the perfect combination of safety experience and innovative thinking to the Manager of Safety role. He played a vital role during the Democratic National Convention and made a lasting impression on those he worked with during one of the greatest times in our City's history. Ron has a solid track record of leading by example and we look forward to him joining the City team."
Perea, 54, is currently the Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Secret Service Los Angeles Division – the third-largest field office in the country. He is responsible for all aspects of the Secret Service mission, including the Agency's protective and criminal investigative functions. He is an executive board member of the Los Angeles FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force, has oversight and control of the Division's budget and expenditures, works as a liaison with the entertainment industry and oversees the U.S. Secret Service Electronic Crimes Task Force. He also supervises cases involving significant national and international financial fraud, identity theft and protective intelligence.
Perea previously worked as the Special Agent in Charge of the Denver Field Office, which is responsible for protective and investigative operations in Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and Idaho, and as an Assistant Special Agent in Charge of the Washington, D.C., Field Office – the largest field office in the Secret Service.
While in Denver, Perea was the Special Agent in Charge during the Democratic National Convention in 2008. He worked closely with law enforcement and public safety leadership in Denver and throughout Colorado to help stage one of the most successful political conventions in our nation's history.
"This is a great, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Perea said. "I am very excited to once again work with the outstanding men and women of the Denver police, fire and sheriff departments. Al LaCabe made significant progress in working with the community, employees and department leadership to create and ensure effective discipline procedures and I look forward to furthering that work."
Before joining the Secret Service in 1984, Perea worked five years for the Albuquerque Police Department. He earned a master's degree from the University of New Mexico and a bachelor's degree from the University of Albuquerque. Perea has attended numerous training programs during his Secret Service career.
Perea has traveled frequently to Denver since the DNC, as his wife stayed in Aurora after his transfer to the Los Angeles Field Office in 2009. The couple has two children, one of whom is a police officer in Boulder and the other lives in Boston.

Did you know that Acme Bail Bonds will work with you on payment options? Find out a few tips ...more
Writ of Habeus Corpus: Incarceration or the bail process has a long history beginning with unlawful detainment. "The Court observed that '"[t]he writ of habeas corpus is one of the centerpieces of our liberties." It is found within our Constitution's The Eighth Amendment and is the basis for the bail system we have today:
"Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted."
Did You Know?
A Writ of Habeus Corpus can be filed by a person who is in prison. The person in custody can challenge the legality of another person in custody with this writ. A review of the imposed sentence goes before the court. This generates an influx of petitions from inmates who feel they are wrongly accused; however, freedoms are protected under this writ. It extends to those already sentenced; they have the right to challenge their conviction from jail.
Excessive Bail
Bail may seem excessive; however, bail amounts have been set by the judges of both Superior and Municipal courts. This is called the Bail Schedule. It is in accordance with the collective opinions of the judges who implement the monetary value according to the crime. Each county has its own particular bail schedule, based on criminal activities for their area; therefore, each county has some variance of a Bail Schedule.
Magna Carta
The Magna Carta in 1215 A.D. became the precursor to our laws. Its format was directed at the peasantry; those with little or no say under the law, and because the power of the Bishops and Noblemen turned a blind eye to those incarcerated. These facts were addressed in the document, as well as the mandatory disclosure of the crime/charges to the individual.
"Here is a law which is above the King and which even he must not break. This reaffirmation of a supreme law and its expression is a general charter is the great work of the Magna Carta; and this alone justifies the respect in which men have held it."
-Winston Churchill, 1956
June 15, 1215 A.D. Plains of Runnymede:
American Founding Fathers looked for a historical precedent from which to base their new system of justice.
Articles of the Barons
Baronial stipulations, "Articles of the Barons," ascribed by English Barons written down and confirmed with royal seal.
June 19, 1215 King John sets the seal, issues the final provisions becoming the Magna Carta.
|King John dies after civil war sparked by "the principal of Majority Rule" added to the charter.
|Reissuance of this document (King Henry III at 9 years old)
|Henry III takes throne at 25. Evolution of document ends.
After each issuance of the document, it was distributed to all counties so each would know the limits of his/her rights and obligations.
|Document remains inconsequential until this date. Sir Edward Coke States, "...even Kings must comply to common law. As he proclaimed to Parliament in 1628, the 'Magna Carta…will have no sovereign.'"
|American colonists believe in adopting the best of the English system updating their version to include the following:
"...a place where a person could rise by merit, not birth; a place where men could voice their opinions and actively share in self-government."
|Stamp Act: Parliament levies taxes on American Colonists to finance protection of colonies. Stamp Act taxed every document from "newspapers, insurance policies, licenses, legal writes, and even playing cards."
Colonists rebel, "no taxation without representation."
John Adams wrote, "The Revolution was in the minds of the people and this was effected, from 1760 to 1775, in the course of 15 years before a drop of blood was shed at Lexington."
|Armed resistance broke out
|Colonies break with England, establish these words found in the Declaration of Independence:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness."
|John Adams states, regarding the new Constitution, it is,
"A government of laws, and not of men."
"We the people..."
This famous phrase began with a minor word change in the Magna Carta from "any baron, to any freeman." Although, freemen were the minority in England at the time, the term would eventually extend to the larger English population. The American colonists manipulated the term liberally and created these words, "We the people..." and applies to all Americans.
"due process"
The Magna Carta reasserted the principle of due process by limiting the King's power to raise funds, and to recognize ancient liberties as absolute.
"majority rule"
Magna Carta created an enforcement council to limit the King's power.
Oscar Pistorius' Bail Hearing explained in this YouTube. South Africa parallels the United States' justice system significantly. The reason bail was granted to Pistorius is explianed by South Africa's Chief Magistrate Desmond Noir. Here is the video of his bail hearing and subsequent granting of bail for him.

The Lettered Cottage = TLC
When I named our house, I didn't even pay attention to the fact that the first letters of the words "The Lettered Cottage", are "T, L and C". Someone brought it to my attention the other day, and I just had to smile because of how completely fitting it is.
This house was SO badly in need of TLC when we bought it. And as you've seen from the recent photos of my Guest Bathroom, there are still lots of rooms that could use some.
The Guest Room, on the other hand, has received lots of TLC, and looking at how far its come really motivates me to create a design plan for our Master Bedroom re-do later this year…
But re-doing a whole room takes time and money, and if you're short on both, sometimes doing a quick mini-fix on a inexpensive, flea market find with potential can be just as fulfilling.
My most recent mini-fix was an old table for our Dining Room. I spent about 30 minutes sitting on the floor painting its legs black one day. Sure, my bones ached when I stood up, but I love the way it turned out. I'm thrilled that we finally have enough places for the whole family to sit when they come over for a meal now!
I'm not going to be using any of the chairs that came with it, but they'll do for now.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Sunday, Jan. 19, is Sanctity of Human Life Sunday in the Southern Baptist Convention.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (BP) -- Convictions come with a cost.
Owen Strachan has been pro-life for many years, but it wasn't until recently that the college prof decided to act on his convictions.
"I've been convictionally pro-life for a long time but hadn't taken an opportunity to get involved with the cause," said Strachan, assistant professor of Christian theology and church history at Boyce College. "I was a passionate advocate for pro-life thinking, but it wasn't until coming into contact with this ministry -- and finding people who were putting their convictions to work -- that I started to get practically involved."
The ministry is Speak for the Unborn, which came to life when Ryan Fullerton, pastor at Immanuel Baptist Church in Louisville, Ky., preached a sermon on sanctity of life Sunday in 2009. Dave and Stacey Hare, who were members of Immanuel at the time, decided to act on the message. The following Saturday, they went to an abortion clinic in downtown Louisville to do sidewalk counseling.
"They had no idea what they were doing," said Andrew King, who has led the ministry at Immanuel since the Hares left for the mission field in 2010. "But they went out there and started talking to people, pleading with them not to have abortions."
A group from Immanuel continues to go out every Saturday morning to do sidewalk counseling. On Tuesdays and Fridays, a group goes from Louisville's Kenwood Baptist Church, where Strachan serves as an elder.
As a professor at the undergraduate school of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and as a pastor, Strachan's primary calling is to teach, write and think. But he wanted to put his intellectual life to work.
"It's an extremely good thing for our faith and convictions to cost us something," Strachan said. "In a Jesus-like way, we can put boots on the ground and our doctrine into practice, and really experience the cost of Gospel ministry."
Sidewalk counseling makes the cost quite tangible.
"It's not a fun ministry," Strachan said.
The typical morning includes waking up early to arrive by 7 a.m., when the Speak for the Unborn volunteers stand on the sidewalk outside the EMW Women's Surgical Center next to the busy Market Street.
As women walk from their cars to the clinic door, volunteers try to engage them in conversations, which rarely last longer than a minute.
Speak for the Unborn volunteers use this brief time to try to persuade these women -- who often are with their boyfriends, husbands, friends or even parents -- not to abort their unborn children and to receive instead a free ultrasound at A Woman's Choice Resource Center, located next to the abortion clinic.
In the short time volunteers have to talk to these women, "you try to engage them quickly, you try to plant a seed, speak a Gospel truth. And then they go in and you lose them, so to speak," Strachan said.
The brief amount of time is not the only obstacle Speak for the Unborn volunteers must overcome. There are pro-choice volunteers there as well, wearing orange vests with the words "clinic escort" on the back, to help women enter the abortion clinic and to shield them from the pro-life volunteers. Interactions with escorts can turn hostile.
"They have pushed and sworn at us," Strachan said. "I had one escort tell me that she wished I had never been born. I had shared how thankful I was that I hadn't been aborted and that the people walking into the clinic hadn't been aborted, and she shouted to me that she wished I had been."
The hostility sometimes extends from the sidewalk to the Web - at everysaturdaymorning.net -- where the pro-choice escorts blog about, among other things, stories from sidewalk interactions with people they call "antis" and "protesters."
It is no surprise to Strachan that standing against the culture's standards of morality can be difficult and disheartening.
"Jesus promised that ministry in His name is going to be hard," Strachan said. "We should expect some suffering."
Despite the uncomfortable situation and the direct contact with what Strachan calls "tangible darkness," there are reasons to endure. Just as the apostle Paul promised, God often uses fools and seemingly foolish efforts to accomplish His purposes -- even when that foolishness includes preaching to a window.
"Many of us will try to preach to the window of the waiting room where the women going into the abortionist's chamber sit before they're called in," Strachan said. "We've seen women leave that waiting room and tell us that they could hear what we were saying outside. That's a great thing to know, but when you're actually preaching to a window, you feel like a fool."
There have been other occasions for hope, as well.
Heather Van Roekel, a volunteer from Kenwood Baptist Church, talked with a lesbian woman on her way into the clinic, and through her kindness and pleading, the woman decided to go in for a free ultrasound at A Woman's Choice Resource Center.
After seeing the ultrasound, she decided against the abortion. Van Roekel has continued contact with the mother and has taken her and the baby to church events.
King has seen other examples of fruit in this ministry.
"I know people who have adopted children from crisis pregnancy situations," he said. "We do see women turn away, and we get to share the Gospel with those people. Every life we see saved is a reminder that the Lord is faithful."
Currently, Immanuel and Kenwood are the only churches formally taking part in Speak for the Unborn. There are several Catholics and other individuals who also do sidewalk counseling -- although the number of escorts usually outnumbers the pro-life volunteers -- but King wants to see more evangelical churches involved.
"We would love churches to claim days," he said. "We want to set realistic expectations, because it is a hard ministry. If your church can come out every third or fourth week even, we would love that."
Though individuals can volunteer with Speak for the Unborn, local churches have the advantage of facing the challenge with community.
"Due to the difficult nature of the ministry, it calls out for fellowship and community, support and prayer," Strachan said. "You can do the ministry as a lone ranger, but it's so much more empowering to go down with fellow members, to pray together, to encourage each other between conversations, to stand on the sidewalk together. You can be a lone ranger, but you'll miss out on so much of what God intends to give us in the local church."
Strachan knows that those who advocate for the unborn, whether with their churches or by themselves, will face obstacles. But the hope of seeing women choose life for their babies and of embracing foolishness for Christ's sake makes the obstacles worth enduring.
"What keeps me going is that I want to be a light," Strachan said, "and I want to suffer in His name, and I want my faith to taste and feel more real than it does when I try to risk-proof it.

Visitors, and spectators are always welcome, as are complete beginners – we provide free teaching.
We normally meet on Tuesdays. However, sometimes our venue is closed on a Tuesday, so – for that week – we will meet on Thursday, instead! If (as normal) we do not have a planned meeting on a Thursday, but you want to play at Freuds on the Thursday, we suggest that you send an email to the oxgo mailing list, saying when you will be there, and giving contact details for others to make arrangements with you, if they want to join you.
We play in Freud Cafe.
Please check venue details in the table below before every visit!.
Tuesdays is our Club night, and we try always to meet in the Freud cafe, Walton Street, Oxford, OX2 6AH (Tel 01865 311171) – see Freud's Facebook page [2] – hopefully, this will have up-to-date availability/opening-times. Freud's Cafe is a building which looks like a Greek temple, and was built as St. Paul's church in 1835-6 (see British History Online [8], and Jericho Echo Online [9]).
Freud's is about one kilometre north west of the City Centre. It is about ten minutes' walk from the bus station, fifteen minutes' walk from the railway station, and fifteen minutes' walk from the city centre.
Parking is usually easy to find nearby, and costs about £2.00 for the whole evening. After 10.00 p.m. there should be several free parking spaces, but many Go players have left by then!

All arrangements with Freuds are subject to change, and unexpected revision. Therefore, please check this web-page regularly, and preferably before every visit.
Tuesday is our main Club night, and we almost always meet in Freud Cafe.
We normally meet from about 19:30 to closing time, or earlier if there are not enough players. Closing time in Freuds on a Tuesday, is variable – 23:00 to 01:00.
Thursday is our secondary club night, and the meeting is also held in Freud Cafe. Closing time in Freuds on a Thursday, is variable – 24:00 to 02:00.
Please feel free to check the venue with Harry Fearnley by telephone, or email (see below). Please note: The best way to get up-to-date information about availability is to join the oxgo email list.

When we meet there are usually about three to eight players. The regular players range in strength from 2-dan to 20-kyu, but we often have beginners, and occasionally players as strong as 6 dan, or even professionals.
Visitors, of all strengths, are very welcome, as are spectators. Complete beginners who have never played, are very welcome – we will provide free teaching.
Some of us also play on Go Servers – mainly the KGS Go Server. We maintain a table of present/past members [27], showing their various aliases on the servers.

The club is affiliated to the British Go Association (BGA) [32]. We have no attendance charge. However, if you become a regular member, you will be expected to join the BGA [33], which has a relatively cheap subscription – 2013 annual subscriptions: full: £24; concessions: £15.
There is no entrance charge – Freud's very kindly let us meet there for free. In return, please expect to buy your drinks (tea/ coffee/ beer/ wine)! This is particularly important on Thursdays.
The Match consisted of two rounds, 50 mins each, with 30/5 Canadian overtime, and 7.5 komi for even games.
All games were played using handicaps - one less than the normal correct handicap, so giving the advantage to the stronger player/team. 14 of the 21 games were played even.
There were 11 players on each side. Cambridge had the strongest player (Li Shen), and Oxford the weakest. The playing strengths ranged from 5 dan to 12 kyu, with a majority of the players being dan level, and an average of about 1 kyu. On average, Oxford was 1/2 a stone stronger than Cambridge. Cambridge did better among both the weakest, and the strongest players, while Oxford were more successful in the middle of the range.
After round 1, the score was Oxford 4 - 6 Cambridge, but the 7 - 4 result in round 2 led to the final result of a narrow win over all for Oxford, 11 - 10.
Cambridge won the University Match fairly convincingly (7/13 vs 4/10, and direct games 5 - 2), while Oxford won the Gown Match convincingly (7/11 vs 3/8, and direct games 3 - 1).
16 February 2013: The 2013 Oxford Go Tournament was a great success – in size, second only to the London Open (Grand Prix), and with the largest number of UK-based players in any tournament for several years. There were 92 players from all over the UK, and of all strengths from 5 dan to 40 kyu, including the British Champion, Andrew Kay [44]. There were competitors of all ages from 7 to 70, with 12 being aged less than 18. There is a brief report and photograph in the Oxford Mail [45] (the local daily newspaper) on Wednesday 20th February. The detailed results [46] are provided by the BGA.
Li Shen (5d), now a student at Cambridge, returned to tournament Go at Oxford and won the event for the third time (previous wins were in 2003 and 2005). He was top of a list of 92 players which included a lot of fellow Cambridge students for the varsity match arranged for the following day, and a large number of novices who could also battle for their own prizes at the bottom end of the draw. Prize vouchers were again supplied by Hoyles who had a bookshop there as usual, and also there were software vouchers from SmartGo [47] (software for iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch and Windows PCs), and GoGoD [48] (Database & Encyclopaedia) . Others winning all three games were Paul Smith (1d Cambridge), Jonathan Reece (2k Oxford), Philip Smith (5k), Andrew Russell (6k Birmingham) and Daniel Peace (11k Oxford).
The Free Entry Draw was won by Peter Harold-Barry who wisely registered early - on 9th December 2012!
There were five teams, and the team prize was won by the Smiths (Paul, Roella, Edmund, Andrea, and Kelda) with 10/15.
In the Novices' Tournament, first prize was won by Isabelle Margetts, who played 12 games in this tournament alone! The prize for second place was shared by Anthony Ghica and Rebecca Margetts.
The youth prizes, and certificates, were awarded as follows: Under 18: First to Siu Fung Cheung; Second to Melchior Chui; Under 15: First to Roella Smith; Second to Oscar Selby; Under 12: First to Edmund Smith; Second to Kelda Smith; Under 9: First to Hilary Bexfield; Second to Isabelle Margetts; The other Under-18 players received certificates only.
After the event a large group of players went off to the Simon Eve Memorial Dinner at Sojo's restaurant.
The Go Club had a stall at the event, where we played /demonstrated Go, and taught anyone who wanted to learn. We also sold some books, and booklets, as well as cheap Go boards, donating all the proceeds (£76.00) to the fund. Most of the money raised at the week-end – about £10,000 for the whole event – was raised by selling admission tickets.
There are other Go clubs nearby. See the British Go Association's map [59].

Apple released the latest version of its iPhone and iPod series at an event Tuesday.
Apple's announcement of an iPhone 4S left most journalists a bit bored this morning, though the new phone is clearly an improvement over the 14-month-old iPhone 4.
One wonders if simply renaming it the iPhone 5 would have generated more excitement.
Here are some thoughts from other Press:Here contributors:
By now you've read the new phone has a better camera and faster chip. We're impressed with Apple's solution for a faster connection: two antennas, one for uploading, one for downloading.
The company has not been able to match the faster Android connections on Verizon's LTE network.
Also, the voice recognition system "Siri" seems to be impressive. Critics are quick to point out Microsoft has had voice activation for years, most notably in Ford cars. Siri appears to accept a more natural language pattern, though it's hard to tell from a hands-off demonstration.

Antitrust and monopolization
Pharmaceutical manufacturers, medical device manufacturers, providers, and payors are routinely subject to allegations of anticompetitive conduct. Many common practices in the healthcare industry, such as exclusive contracts, bundled pricing, vertical restraints, and tiered discounts can have competitive effects that come under antitrust scrutiny. The particularly complex competitive interaction between brand and generic manufacturers in the pharmaceutical industry give rise to a unique range of antitrust issues involving allegations of market division, exceeding patent rights, and market foreclosure. Many healthcare-related industries are innovation-based and require careful attention to both the long- and short-run effects of alleged behavior or proposed remedies. Our clients count on us for analysis and testimony that assesses competitive impact and evaluates allegations in a clear and balanced manner.
- In United States and State of Texas v. United Regional Health Care System, retained as testifying expert on behalf of Department of Justice to analyze the competitive effects of United Regional's exclusionary contracts with health insurers. DOJ reached a settlement with United Regional that prohibits the hospital from entering into contracts that improperly inhibit commercial health insurers from contracting with United Regional's competitors.
- In the matter Sheridan Healthcorp v. AvMed, provided economic analysis and testimony on alleged monopolization of the market for certain physician services following a series of mergers, affiliations, and exclusive arrangements. Provided analyses of relevant antitrust markets and assessed market power and effects on competition.
- In Augustine Medical Inc. v. Mallinckrodt Medical, provided written and deposition testimony on market definition, market power, competitive impact, and damages in a monopolization matter on behalf of counterclaim defendant Augustine, a medical device manufacturer. The opposing expert was precluded from testifying under Daubert, and the matter was dismissed by summary judgment.
- Calculated the expected impact of certain life-cycle management strategies on the value and timing of generic competitive entry decisions on behalf of a pharmaceutical manufacturer. Evaluated likely competitive effects of these strategies.
- In Peoria Day Surgery Center v. OSF Healthcare System, worked with Academic Affiliate David Dranove to provide written and deposition expert testimony on behalf of Peoria Day Surgery Center. Analyzed the impact of exclusive contracting practices to establish the existence of market power and anticompetitive tying and bundling by the defendant hospital. The case settled after Peoria Day's antitrust claims survived OSF's motion for summary judgment.
- Supported liability and damages experts in multiple lawsuits to analyze the competitive effects of loyalty rebates and bundled discounts associated with the sale of medical devices to hospitals through GPOs. Assessed whether particular business practices resulted in higher prices to customers and whether manufacturers had market power in the context of the alleged monopolization claims.

Please take a couple of minutes of your time to read what Roger is calling his final report for Twinkie Town. For several years now, one of the things I have most looked forward to on Saturday mornings (besides not going to work) is reading Roger's Weekly Minor League Report at Twinkie Town. It always started with the week's transactions and then, team-by-team, went into detail on how the team did as well as the players. Each Saturday article was full of great information.
I've known Roger now for a long time. When I lived in the cities, we tried to meet for lunch a time or two a year, and I feel bad that we haven't done that since I moved. We need to do that again. Like myself, Roger is passionate about the Twins and their minor league system. Like me, Roger loves the process of players moving up the system in an effort to get to the big leagues. Like me, for Roger, it's not just a bunch of names and numbers moving through the system. Roger understands fully how hard it is to get to the big leagues, and how difficult each advancement through the system is. It's about people, not machines. So often people get so negative about kids, and I know for Roger, and for myself, that is so frustrating.
Roger gets it, and that's why his articles were so great. You could tell that he cares for the Twins, but he actually cares about the people, the players, the prospects.
So, as Roger calls it a blogging career, I certainly wish him the best. From the sounds of his final blog entry, he's got plenty on his plate right now. Best wishes, Roger! Take care of yourself, and don't be a stranger!!
