anti-SLAPP Motion (Judge Nancy Zeltzer)
LexRoll.com > LexRoll (CA) > California Tentative Rulings > anti-SLAPP Motion (Judge Nancy Zeltzer)
Moving Party: Real Party in Interest The Center for Scientific Integrity
Responding Party: Petitioner Constance Iloh
Real Party in Interest The Center for Scientific Integrity's ("CSI") Special Motion to Strike Complaint Under CCP 425.16 (Anti-SLAPP) is DENIED.
STANDARD OF LAW
"A cause of action against a person arising from any act of that person in furtherance of the person's right of petition or free speech under the United States Constitution or the California Constitution in connection with a public issue shall be subject to a special motion to strike, unless the court determines that the plaintiff has established that there is a probability that the plaintiff will prevail on the claim." (CCP § 425.16(b)(1).) An "act in furtherance of a person's right of petition or free speech under the United States or California Constitution in connection with a public issue" includes: . . . any written or oral statement or writing made in a place open to the public or a public forum in connection with an issue of public interest, or . . . any other conduct in furtherance of the exercise of the constitutional right of petition or the constitutional right of free speech in connection with a public issue or an issue of public interest. (CCP § 425.16(e).)
"Section 425.16 posits [] a two-step process for determining whether an action is a SLAPP." (Navellier v. Sletten (2002) 29 Cal. 4th 82, 88.) "First, the court decides whether the defendant has made a threshold showing that the challenged cause of action is one arising from protected activity." (Id.) "A defendant meets this burden by demonstrating that the act underlying the plaintiff's cause fits one of the categories spelled out in section 425.16, subdivision (e)." (Id.) "If the court finds that such a showing has been made, it must then determine whether the plaintiff has demonstrated a probability of prevailing on the claim." (Id.)
"[I]n order to establish the requisite probability of prevailing (§ 425.16, subd. (b)(1)), the plaintiff need only have 'stated and substantiated a legally sufficient claim.'" (Navallier, 29 Cal. 4th at 88.) "Put another way, the plaintiff 'must demonstrate that the complaint is both legally sufficient and supported by a sufficient prima facie showing of facts to sustain a favorable judgment if the evidence submitted by the plaintiff is credited.'" (Id. at 88-89.) "Only a cause of action that satisfies both prongs of the anti-SLAPP statute-i.e., that arises from protected speech or petitioning and lacks even minimal merit-is a SLAPP, subject to being stricken under the statute." (Id.)
AMENDED PETITION
In this action, Petitioner Constance Iloh ("Petitioner") filed an Amended Petition seeking adjudication of the issue of how the California Public Records Act ("CPRA") should be applied when it comes to disclosure of correspondence in university emails used by professors/academics employed by public institutions. On September 9, 2020, CSI made a public records request to Respondent Regents of the University of California ("Respondent"), seeking correspondence relating to four articles authored by Petitioner.
Petitioner, an assistant professor at UCI, argues that such correspondence should not be subject to a public records request because the correspondences do not relate to conduct of the public's benefit, Petitioner has a reasonable expectation of privacy, and the balance of interests favors nondisclosure to preserve academic freedom. Petitioner points to the exception in CPRA for personnel files, "the disclosure of which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of privacy," under Cal. Gov't Code § 6254(c), and asserts that disclosure is not required where "the public interest served by not disclosing the record clearly outweighs the public interest served by disclosure of the record," under Cal. Gov't Code § 6255. Petitioner argues that her private correspondence does not relate to the "conduct of the public's business" pursuant to Cal. Gov't Code § 6252(e) to constitute a public record. Specifically, she contends that the four articles at issue were not published by the public institution employing Petitioner, but rather private academic journals, and were not related to the discharge of Petitioner's employment at UCI.
SPECIAL MOTION TO STRIKE
"Only a cause of action that both arises from protected speech or petitioning and lacks even minimal merit is a SLAPP subject to the special motion to strike." (Found. for Taxpayer & Consumer Rts. v. Garamendi Garamendi (2005) 132 Cal. App. 4th 1375, 1389.)
The first step in determining whether to strike the Amended Petition is whether the Amended Petition arises from CSI's protected activity.
"Reporting the news is speech subject to the protections of the First Amendment and subject to a motion brought under section 425.16, if the report concerns a public issue or an issue of public interest." (Lieberman v. KCOP Television, Inc. (2003) 110 Cal. App. 4th 156, 164.) "Reporting the news usually requires the assistance of newsgathering, which therefore can be construed as undertaken in furtherance of the news media's right to free speech." (Id. at 166.)
However, "a claim is not subject to a motion to strike simply because it contests an action or decision that was arrived at following speech or petitioning activity, or that was thereafter communicated by means of speech or petitioning activity." (Park v. Bd. of Trustees of California State Univ. (2017) 2 Cal. 5th 1057, 1060.) "Rather, a claim may be struck only if the speech or petitioning activity itself is the wrong complained of, and not just evidence of liability or a step leading to some different act for which liability is asserted." (Id.; Collondrez v. City of Rio Vista (2021) 61 Cal. App. 5th 1039, 1049 ["[W]here a cause of action alleges both protected and unprotected activity, the cause of action will be subject to section 425.16 unless the protected conduct is 'merely incidental' to the unprotected conduct."].)
An Anti-SLAPP motion fails where the movant "fail[s] to carry its burden of proof of showing petitioners' claim arose from [movant]'s actions in furtherance of its right of petition or free speech." (Found. for Taxpayer & Consumer Rts. v. Garamendi Garamendi (2005) 132 Cal. App. 4th 1375, 1389.) For example, when a movant "brought its motion even though petitioners' complaint contained no cause of action against [movant] and did not challenge [movant's free speech activities]." (Id.)
Under certain circumstances, it may be reasonable for a real party in interest to bring an anti-SLAPP motion. (Rudisill v. California Coastal Com. (2019) 35 Cal. App. 5th 1062, 1072.) In Rudisill, "Real Parties in Interest were both identified as entities with a direct interest in the property that was the subject of the mandamus proceeding and as participants in regulatory missteps or outright wrongdoing that, if they chose to participate in the litigation, might ultimately subject them to attorney fees as 'parties,'" then "it was reasonable for Real Parties in Interest to conclude that the Petition asserted claims against them." (Id. at 1073 [finding that an Anti-SLAPP motion was not frivolous under the circumstances].)
Based on the circumstances of this case, while CSI fits the definition of a real party in interest, it has not shown that Petitioner has asserted claims against it or that the causes of action asserted in the Amended Petition challenge CSI's free speech conduct of newsgathering or reporting. Here, Petitioner is seeking mandamus, an injunction and declaratory relief to restrict Respondent's ability to respond to CSI's record request, but the claims themselves do not arise from/are not based upon CSI's act of making the record request. CSI's protected activity may have led to the conduct being challenged (i.e. Respondent's disclosure of the subject records) and may be incidental to the conduct being challenged, but is not the basis of Petitioner's claims. Unlike in Rudisill, Petitioner does not challenge CSI's right to make a records request and does not seek to hold CSI liable for any wrongdoing.
Accordingly, CSI has not satisfied the first step of the Anti-SLAPP analysis by showing that this Petition arises from CSI's actions in furtherance of its free speech rights. On this ground, this Special Motion to Strike is DENIED.
As CSI has not satisfied the first step, the Court does not reach the second step of the Anti-SLAPP analysis.
REQUEST FOR ATTORNEY'S FEES AND COSTS
"A trial court may order a party, the party's attorney, or both, to pay the reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees, incurred by another party as a result of actions or tactics, made in bad faith, that are frivolous or solely intended to cause unnecessary delay." (CCP § 128.5(a).) CSI contends that it should be awarded attorney's fees and costs on the grounds that this allegedly frivolous Petition was filed in bad faith.
The Court finds that this Motion did not arise to the level of frivolousness and there is no evidence it was brought in bad faith. Accordingly, the Court DENIES CSI's request for fees and costs.
Moving party CSI to give notice of this ruling.

#Covid Weekly Update 12.6% increase of Patients in Hospital
By theorkneynews on October 12, 2022 • ( 3 Comments )
Published by Public Health Scotland on 12th of October 2022, here are the weekly Covid stats:
Hospital Admissions are provisional. No data was available from NHS Orkney and NHS Western Isles
In Scotland, in the week ending 24 September 2022, the estimated number of people testing positive for COVID-19 was 113,000 (95% credible interval: 92,100 to 135,700), equating to 2.15% of the population, or around 1 in 45 people (Source: Coronavirus (COVID-19) Infection Survey, UK – Office for National Statistics)
In the week ending 09 October 2022, there were on average 838 patients in hospital with COVID-19, a 12.6% increase from the previous week ending 02 October 2022 (744)
In the week ending 09 October 2022 there were 17 new admissions to Intensive Care Units (ICUs) with a laboratory confirmed test of COVID-19, a decrease of 1 from the previous week (02 October 2022)
In the week ending 02 October 2022, there were 45 deaths involving COVID-19 (12 more than the previous week) (Source: National Records of Scotland)
By week ending 09 October 2022 of the 684,446 people vaccinated for COVID-19 as part of the Winter 2022 vaccination programme, 94% were vaccinated for Flu at the same vaccination appointment
The response to the COVID-19 pandemic is likely to have a wider impact on health and care as a result of the lockdown, economic pressures and changes to health services.
In the latest week ending 09 October 2022, there were 229 new COVID-19 admissions to hospital. Hospital admissions for the most recent week are provisional and should be treated with caution. At the time of publication there were no data available for three NHS Boards, and the previous week's figures have been rolled forward. These provisional data will be refreshed next week.
In the latest week ending 09 October 2022, for every 1,000 emergency admissions there were 32 COVID-19 admissions (3.2%) in all age groups. In the same week, the 70-74 age group had the highest rate of COVID-19 admissions (5.6%) and the 18-29 age group had the lowest rate (0.7%). 96 stays (61.5%) were greater than or equal to 48 hours, whereas 32 stays (20.5%) were less than 24 hours.
The number of COVID-19 patients in hospital is an indicative measure of the pressure on hospitals, as these patients still require isolation from other patients for infection control purposes.
Following a fall in the number of new ICU admissions since July, the average number of ICU admissions has continued to be similar each week in September, although has increased slightly in recent weeks. In the week ending 09 October 2022 there were 17 admissions to ICU, a decrease of 1 from the previous week (02 October 2022) when there were 18 admissions.
Number of Flu and COVID-19 vaccinations administered to eligible adults in Scotland by week to end of week 40, 2022*
The COVID-19 pandemic has direct impacts on health as a result of illness, hospitalisations and deaths due to COVID-19. However, the pandemic also has wider impacts on health, healthcare, and health inequalities. Click on this link for COVID-19 Wider Impacts
Busting the #Covid Myths
All covid rules and restrictions have been lifted in Scotland, but the virus has not gone away.
We all need to keep playing our part to protect ourselves and others. You can do this by:
getting the flu and COVID-19 vaccines if offered, to ensure you are fully protected
staying at home if you're unwell with symptoms or have a fever
opening windows when socialising indoors
wearing a face covering in indoor public places and on public transport
washing your hands to protect yourself
Care for yourself and others to help slow down the spread of the virus and reduce pressure on our health services.

berniebell1955 says:
On the television I see women in Tehran not wearing a hajib, but wearing masks to try to avoid Covid. They have so much else to deal with – but they are prepared to wear masks.
Meanwhile – Japan has opened it's borders again.
What's needed and what has always been needed is a concerted, world- wide effort – but that didn't happen, and isn't happening.
And yes, I will keep going on about it.

Recommended reading in the wider context (Grampian selected because ARI is where Orkney patients often are referred to):
Appendix 1 (powerpoint presentation) from 'Item 5: System Pressure Performance Report' from NHS Grampian's latest Board Meeting 6th October (https://www.nhsgrampian.org/about-us/grampian-nhs-board/grampian-nhs-board-meetings/2022-board-papers/6-october-2022/).
The data is from 14th September.
I think it is reasonable to expect that the situation is not getting better given the increase in infections….
Pingback: 9 Fewer Deaths Involving #Covid: Weekly Update, Scotland – The Orkney News


A clinical risk article entitled "She should have died hereafter? When is death caused in law by breach of duty?" written by Charles Feeny and Ana Samuel have been published in the forthcoming issue of Action Against Medical Accidents (AvMA) Medical Journal.
The article examines the law surrounding causation in situations when a death could be said to have been accelerated with particular reference to the case of Davies v Countess of Chester Hospital  EWHC 4294 (QB). In doing so, the authors argued that there are two options available to the courts, one that is an arbitrary time limit and the second which focuses on materiality.

The Effects Of Operant Conditioning And Positive Reinforcement
One of the most well renowned American behavioral psychologists, B.F. Skinner was considered a pioneer in the development of operant conditioning and positive reinforcement. While some of his radical views, such as the illusion of free will, garnered criticism, his contributions to the field of behaviorism, most notably "The Skinner Box", made him an influential psychologist. B. F. Skinner was born on March 20, 1904 in Susquehanna Pennsylvania, a small railroad town where he enjoyed roaming the countryside. From a young age, Skinner demonstrated his intelligence, and had gained a reputation in high school for debating intellectual and philosophical subjects with his teachers. After graduating valedictorian of his class, he attended Hamilton College in Utica, New York. Graduating in 1926, Skinner decided to spend a year writing and during this period, he became highly interested in behavioral psychology after reading philosopher Bertram Russell's review of John B. Watson's Behaviorism. At twenty four, Skinner enrolled as a psychology graduate student at Harvard University and earned his degree three years later. Skinner adhered to the principles of behaviorism, a popular school of thought until the 1950 's. Behaviorism differs from other fields of psychology in that it is not a mental science, which treats unobservable mental events as the causes of behavior, but instead claims that the cause of a behavior is due to the environment and the individual 's

world. Classical conditioning and operant conditioning are both basic forms of learning, they have the word conditioning in common. Conditioning is the acquisition of specific patterns of behavior in the presence of well-defined stimuli. Classical conditioning is a type of learning in which an organism learns to transfer a natural response from one stimulus to another, previously neutral stimulus. Classical conditioning is achieved by manipulating reflexes. Operant conditioning is a type of learning

stimuli or a behavior and a learned stimulus. Associative learning is divided in to two central techniques, classical conditioning and operant condition. Classical and operant conditioning are basic methods of learning and conditioning is used to adapt a behavior or association through a stimuli or consequence (Ciccarelli, 2012). While classical conditioning and operant conditioning are key elements in associative learning, they have significant differences. A clear contrast between the two theories
The Theory of Operant Conditioning
The Theory of Operant Conditioning PSY390 October 6, 2014 Introduction The study of human behavior by psychologists such as B.F. Skinner, Edward Thorndike, Ivan Pavlov, and Watson is fascinating. These five psychologists each have different theories on human behavior. There are similarities and differences in each of the theories. Ivan Pavlov's classical conditioning theory, studied animals and formed the basis for behavioral psychology (Cherry, 2013). Edward Thorndike's theory of connectionism
A Study on Operant and Classical Conditioning
Operant and Classical Conditioning Classical conditioning best explains reflective responding that is largely controlled by stimuli preceding the response, while operant conditioning is the kind of learning influenced by stimulus events that follow the responses. (Weiten). In operant conditioning, reinforcement is defined as after the fact. Reinforcement follows a response and increases tendency to make the response. In classical conditioning, the reinforcement comes before the response is made
Operant Conditioning And Its Effect On Behavior
Operant conditioning refers to the method of learning to occur through rewards and punishment for behavior (Staddon & Cerutti 2002). In the operant condition, an association occurs between the behavior and the consequences of the behavior. Behaviorist B.F Skinner coined operant conditioning, and that is why some refer to it as Skinnerian conditioning. Skinner started studying operant conditioning in the late 1920s when he was a graduate student at Harvard University. As a behaviorist B.F Skinner
Conditioning Procedures in Shaping Children's Behaviour
2. A child is repeatedly exhibiting inappropriate and unwanted behaviour (e.g. hitting sibling), which conditioning procedures could be used to most effectively stop this? Behaviours that produce favourable consequences are repeated and become habits, but those that produce unfavourable consequences tend not to recur (Ouellette and Wood, 1998 as cited in Martin et.al, 2006). Experience changes the probability of repeating certain behaviours indicating that learning involves adaptation. As time
Operant Conditioning and Skinner's Method
Operant Conditioning Introduction Operant conditioning is also referred to as 'instrumental conditioning' and is reported as a "method of learning that occurs through rewards and punishments for behavior. Through operant conditioning an association is made between a behavior and a consequence for that behavior." (Cherry, 2007) Operant conditioning was first examined by B.F. Skinner, a behaviorist and this is why it is referr3ed to as 'Skinnerian conditioning'. (Cherry, 2007) Skinner held that "internal

The example of training a dog to roll over is a great model for analysing the aspects of learning involved with this process. Understanding how operant conditioning works and how to reinforce a desired response to that stimuli will help trainers effectively teach dogs. Psychologists, such as Myers (2013), define learning as the process of acquiring new knowledge and behaviors. In this case we are specifically

Album notes by the performer:
Bela Bartók's Out of Doors Suite shows both the composer's close kinship to folk music and his sense of the picturesque. The label of "impressionism" ought not to be the exclusive province of the French, for what page of Debussy could be more genuinely "impressionistic" than the fourth piece of this suite, "The Night's Music?" This masterwork of a character piece casts a magical spell with its eerie evocations of nocturnal wildlife in a village in the countryside.
This suite is also typical of Bartók's approach to structure, for the five pieces are arranged into a symmetrical arch shape. "Musettes," with its repetitive bagpipe drones and shimmering ornaments, is in third place, occupying the axis of symmetry. In second position, corresponding to the Night's Music, we find the "Barcarolla": not a graceful, Italianate gondolier song as in Chopin, but rather a disquieting, undulating piece in the uneven, constantly shifting rhythms of a stormy sea.
On the outside we find the two lively and rhythmical movements, which are energetic and high in spirit. The opening movement evokes simple music of the countryside: "With fife and drum." The bass of the piano is employed to evoke a vivid image. The concluding piece is a boisterous, frantic "Chase" that playfully depicts animals running amok. It is a wild goose chase for the pianist, too, making formidable virtuosic demands of endurance as well as precision.
Part of the music's "modernism" – or, rather, its primitivism? – is its concentration on non-tertian intervals. The outer movements often feature the interval of a ninth; the Barcarolla offers fourths; the Musettes, fifths clashing with tritones; and the Night's Music, semitone clusters.
Live performance by Matthew Bengtson at the Peabody Institute of Music in Baltimore, Maryland, unedited. Sean Finn, recording engineer, remastered for digital release by Aramus Recordings (2018).
Matthew Bengtson is a Steinway Artist, performing here on Peabody's Steinway D piano.

Veterinarians and animal health technicians who take this course will learn basic fundamentals for preparing and conducting postmortem examinations in the field on multiple species. Participants will learn the standard techniques used to collect blood and tissue samples in the field when performing a postmortem examination. Participants will also learn and how to package and ship samples securely to a diagnostic laboratory for evaluation.
This course is intended for veterinary researchers and diagnosticians who work with infectious animal diseases and substances in the laboratory. The course covers basic laboratory biosafety and biosecurity protocols, controls, and techniques used to prevent accidental exposure to and/or unintentional release of infectious substances into the laboratory or the environment. Using a risk assessment tool, participants learn how to identify biorisks in the laboratory and the control measures that can be taken to mitigate these risks. Participants will also become familiar with the various biocontainment levels and their use in biorisk management.
Innovation is a key component to research laboratories around the world, but how does a product of novel research make its way to the commercial marketplace? There are many regulatory and legal requirements that must be met to navigate this process involving scale-up of product production, establishment of quality control and quality assurance programs, trademarking, patenting, licensing, good laboratory practices, good manufacturing practices, and much more. These concepts are not taught in most scientific training programs and many products are lost in a "valley of death" when a product makes the transition from a research concept to a candidate commercial product. This course will provide participants with an overview of the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate this "valley of death" and take a research concept all the way to the commercial marketplace. Topics covered during this four month online course include lessons on: developing a vision for product discovery to commercialization, developing a strategic plan of work, risk assessment, biorisk management, animal use ethics, regulations and international interactions, select agents, biocontainment, licensing, regulatory pathways, good laboratory practices, good manufacturing practices, quality control, partnership relations, business models and plans, entrepreneurship, project management, and intellectual property.
This online course should take three to four months to complete.

Simon always dreamt of being around the camera, behind it…or in front of it. His sliding doors moment came as a teenager auditioning for a little known pop group called Busted. But despite impressing the band and fast-tracking to the final round, they instead opted for some bloke called Charlie and the rest, as they say, is in the Year 3000.
Undeterred, Simon focussed his attention to behind the camera and joined ITV's police drama The Bill as a camera trainee at 16 and hasn't looked back. Over the next two decades, Simon forged a career as a Director of Photography for primetime TV shows, commercials and branded content taking him all over the world from war zones in Afghanistan to Formula 1 tracks in Mexico. Always seeming to find a bit of sun…
With a wealth of experience across a hugely diverse pool of work, Simon has a deep understanding of the filming process and its challenges. As Technical Director, he works alongside the creative and production teams offering technical guidance and support, ensuring each project is super smooth and delivered to Lobster's impeccable standards.

Auto Care Association Identifies Alibaba as Notorious Market for Counterfeit Auto Parts
Welcome to Auto Parts Forum

By Alex, October 10, 2017 in General Auto Parts Discussion
The Auto Care Association submitted comments Oct. 2 urging the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) to relist Alibaba and its family of e-commerce platforms, including Taobao and AliExpress, as notorious markets that facilitate the sale of counterfeit auto parts.
The letter was submitted as part of the USTR's request for comments in identifying internet and physical markets based outside the United States that engage in copyright piracy and trademark counterfeiting for its annual Special 301 Out-of-Cycle Review of Notorious Markets Report.
"Despite Alibaba's efforts to address the proliferation of counterfeit products, our members report that their brand protection tools and enforcement program have been unsatisfactory," said Bill Hanvey, president and CEO, Auto Care Association. "Not only do counterfeit products threaten the U.S. economy, and impact our members' sales and brand value, but counterfeit auto parts do not comply with any safety regulations and are a danger to the safety of consumers."
The Auto Care Association submitted comments in response to member complaints regarding the proliferation of online supply chains based in China that allow the online distribution of counterfeit parts. These online B2B and e-commerce sites advertise branded counterfeit products for sale at rates that significantly undercut the margins of members' original products. In its letter, the Auto Care Association outlined general principles that Alibaba should adopt to address the proliferation of counterfeit products on its various platforms.
The Auto Care Association commends the USTR's efforts to combat piracy and counterfeiting. The association looks forward to continuing this dialogue with the USTR and representatives from the identified websites to protect and enforce intellectual property rights.

OEM vs. Aftermarket Parts for Your Car: How to Choose
APF posted a topic in General Auto Parts Discussion, June 5, 2018
When selecting parts for a car repair, it pays to know the differences between original and aftermarket parts. Whenever possible, get estimates for both.
Choosing between original and aftermarket car parts — and even used parts of either type — is all about squaring your priorities with your budget.
You'll have different options depending on the part and the shop. And the best choice will depend on whether you're trying to keep repairs cheap, restore your car's appearance after a wreck or soup up your ride.
Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts match those that came with your car, and are of the same quality as its original parts. They're also the most expensive.

This video shows how for Lyon, or Saint-Ouen, the use of digital technology is now essential in architecture and urban planning. For heritage preservation or for previewing purposes, modelling either existing environments or projects is a valuable decision-making aid.
Renato Saleri, urban architect at the MAP, a joint laboratory of the CNRS and the Ministry of Culture and Communication, explores the techniques and tools used in the modelling work on the old Lyon city section for heritage purposes, which make it possible to preserve a digital trace of urban objects. He also elaborates on the new emerging techniques as they were used in modelling the village of Savigny.
Makan Rafatdjou, urban planner and architect, explains the new possibilities and the versatility opened up by using 3D computer graphics in the renovation of the docks area in Saint-Ouen, which simplifies the design of the future buildings and planning their insertion into the landscape.

Catholic Cemeteries of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rockville Centre Inc.
Over the centuries, a tradition has grown that it is the right, privilege and duty of every Catholic to seek burial in a Catholic cemetery. However, living in the midst of changing circumstances has resulted in changing perceptions in the minds of some regarding the relevance of the Catholic cemetery in the scheme of their lives.

Black American National Security & Foreign Policy Next Generation Leaders
From Russia meddling in U.S. elections, to counterterrorism in Africa, to North Korean Nuclear Proliferation, our country continues to face new and evolving national security threats. On top of so much else, the November midterm elections have underscored Americans' desire for change away from how Washington politics has long been run—and by whom.
Since 9/11, there has been a growing number of Black Americans making a difference in the national security sector. Many of them are former Obama Administration Appointees, lawyers, congressional staff, intelligence analysts, military veterans, diplomats, foreign aid practitioners, entrepreneurs, economists, and beyond – inspired by role models that have broken glass ceilings in national security such as Ambassador Andrew Young, General Colin Powell, Secretary Condoleezza Rice, Ambassador Patrick Gaspard, Ambassador Bonnie Jenkins, Ambassador Ruth Davis, and many others.
The Diversity in National Security Network and New America are pleased to honor the contributions of 35 Black American experts in U.S. national security and foreign policy. The list features list includes experts currently serving in government, think tanks, academia, non-governmental organizations, and the media. Selection is based on excellence and leadership; their current work in national security or foreign policy; and their contributions to their issues of expertise through thought leadership.
The list.

BREAKING NEWS: Federal Circuit Denies Genentech's Appeal to Block Sales of Amgen's MVASI (bevacizumab-awwb)
Avastin, Federal Circuit, Mvasi
Today, in the Genentech v. Amgen BPCIA litigation concerning Amgen's MVASI (bevacizumab-awwb) biosimilar product, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued an opinion affirming the district court's denial of Genentech's motions to enjoin sales of MVASI in the United States. MVASI is an FDA-approved biosimilar of Genentech's AVASTIN.
As we previously reported, in July 2019, Genentech filed an emergency motion and motion for a temporary restraining order premised on the legal theory that Amgen was out of compliance with the "notice of commercial marketing" provision of subsection (l)(8)(A) of the BPCIA. Although Amgen had provided notice in October 2017 of its intent to begin commercial marketing of MVASI in at least 180 days (i.e., no earlier than April 2019), Genentech posited that the notice was ineffective because Amgen had subsequently supplemented its aBLA with additional manufacturing and labeling information, so the biosimilar that Amgen was seeking to launch was a different "biological product" under the BPCIA. Such supplementation of its aBLA, according to Genentech, required Amgen to provide a new notice of commercial marketing and wait another 180 days before it could market MVASI. The district disagreed, finding that the original notice was still legally effective and "the fact that Mvasi was the subject of the original application approved by the FDA in September 2017 does not make it a different biological product than the Mvasi that was the subject of the supplements to the application approved by the FDA in December 2018 and June 2019."
Immediately following the decision, Amgen launched MVASI in the United States, and Genentech filed an appeal. Both the district court and the Federal Circuit declined Genentech's interim requests for an injunction pending resolution of the appeal.
In today's Federal Circuit opinion, the Court similarly ruled in Amgen's favor, concluding that "Amgen's October 6, 2017, letter, which notified Genentech of Amgen's intent to commercially market Mvasi at least 180 days before its July 2019 launch, satisfied Section 262(l)(8)(A)." The Court reasoned that despite Amgen's "later supplements to its applications adding a manufacturing facility and changing its drug product label, Amgen's biological product, Mvasi, did not change." Siding with biosimilar makers, the Federal Circuit held that a "biosimilar applicant that has already provided Section 262(l)(8)(A) notice regarding its biological product need not provide another notice for each supplemental application concerning the same biological product." The Federal Circuit concluded that the statutory text was unambiguous on this point.

Measure D secures sixth HS plans
$30 million in funds tops off campus cost
(COURTESY/JOE LANDON)
Roseville Joint Union High School District's sixth high school is set to break ground in the spring of 2018 with the funds from the recently passed Measure D bond.
Measure D will allocate $30 million to the high school in Westpark. The total cost is $110 million and $80 million stems from various other bonds and developer fees.
"Most of the parents in West Roseville have been pretty positive because Measure D is a solution to the problem and they understand that the district is doing all it can to get a school built," assistant superintendent of business services Joe Landon said.
"Phase 1" of the construction plan includes the construction of a cafeteria, gymnasium, main office and classrooms. RJUHSD superintendent Ron Severson expects to break ground in early 2018, and "Phase 1" to be complete for students in 2020.
Severson is meeting with various teachers representing RJUHSD programs to discuss the effectiveness of department-specific facilities on the new campus.
"Athletic directors went over every inch of athletic facilities, dance teachers went over what the dance rooms are gonna look like," Severson said. "We are meeting with science and people like that."
The district hired demographers and architects in order to produce the majority of data needed to estimate the opening date of the school and create concept art for the campus.
The facilities are planned to incorporate natural lighting, large open spaces and simplistic, modern design.
According to RJUHSD communications coordinator Shannon Blockton, the sixth high school's steering committee, made up of parents and homeowners in the area as well as RJUHSD administrators, has been key to the school's development.
The steering committee looked at the foreplan of the school, and will assist in choosing the school's name, mascot and the various programs that could be offered. Possible name suggestions included "Westpark High School" and "Northwestern High School." Some of the possible mascots include Falcons, Hawks, Panthers and Freedom Fighters.
The steering committee is looking toward growing a strong athletic program, progressive academics and a strong marching band.
"Is it gonna have a marching band? Is it gonna be a project lead the way school? Is it gonna have AP or IB or both AP and IB," Severson said. "They'll work on what the school will really be like."
Now that Measure D passed and greenlighted a portion of the funding for the school, Severson is excited to break ground on the site.
"We've talking about this for years," Severson said. "We are right on the brink of being able to start moving dirt."
Severson hopes that the high school will be the highlight of the community by working simultaneously with the Parks & Recreation department of the city.
"The community is gonna be so proud of this new school," Severson said. "It's beautiful. It incorporates everything we have learned about teaching and learning space over the last 20 years. There is more natural light, it will be the center of the community in west park and we have a partnership with the city so they're gonna finish some of the athletic buildings and fields and its adjacent to the new soccer complex."

Eliminating Bad Habits This is probably one of the most frequent uses of hypnosis. In most clinical hypnosis offices, smoking cessation and weight loss account for approximately 75 percent of their business. Although smoking is an addiction, it can be very successfully eliminated through the assistance of hypnosis. Remembering that you cannot be hypnotized against your will, you must have a desire to quit smoking for hypnosis to work. Hypnosis is a wonderful helpmate but not a magic spell. Weight loss is also commonly treated with hypnosis.
You in turn impart this same knowledge to your children. Who Can Be Hypnotized? Most people seem to think that they cannot be hypnotized. The reason for this is due to the many misconceptions that are portrayed by the media about hypnosis. Reasonable Intelligence Anyone with reasonable intelligence can be hypnotized. That statement usually raises a few eyebrows. What is meant by "reasonable intelligence" is anyone who can follow simple instructions. If you were given instructions to the store across the street and were able to follow them, you could also be hypnotized.
Many times they feel that they are just play-acting or doing whatever they are doing to entertain the crowd. The truth of the matter is that the people who participate in a comedy stage show are in a deeper level of hypnosis than they would be if participating in a clinical hypnosis session. For most clinical hypnosis sessions, participants are only required to be in the lighter states of hypnosis. For most of the skits that are performed in a comedy show, participants are in a deeper level of hypnosis.

Why burn outside combustion air?
Q: I can understand how a [vent free] gas stove vented into the house would reduce the oxygen level, as it would consume the oxygen, then vent the exhaust into the house. I can't see how a wood stove could reduce the oxygen level, as it takes in air from the house then vents it out of the house. The only way it could reduce the oxygen level would be if the house was so tightly sealed that it actually reduced the air pressure in the house. I am not sure if this is even possible. Let me know your comments. Maybe I am missing something.
A: A wood fire consumes a VAST amount of oxygen, and the chimney updraft simultaneously vacuums a HUGE amount of both burned and unburned air out of the house. Meanwhile, return air must squeeze in through tiny openings around doors, windows, etc.. If the house doesn't present enough openings to the outside atmosphere to allow static pressure stabilization, the atmosphere inside the house will remain at a lower pressure (and a lower oxygen level) than the atmosphere outside the house as long as the fire is burning. The tighter the house, the more pronounced the effect.
We have witnessed a variety of examples of household depressurization over the years. It is very common to hear complaints of a cold draft whenever there's a fire in the wood, gas or oil stove, or that the furnace kicks on every time the fireplace is lit.
Several years ago, a local contractor built one of the first "super energy efficient" house in our area. The house was of block construction, and incorporated plastic vapor barriers, gasketed windows and doors, etc. He put a woodstove in that house (not vented to outside combustion air), and the eventual buyers found that, unless they opened a window, the vacuum effect produced by the wood fire would actually overcome the chimney updraft, pulling woodsmoke backward into the house through the draft controls on the stove!
While it is true that most older homes aren't nearly as tightly constructed as that one was, it is equally true that most homes aren't leaky enough to create neutral pressurization when a fire is going.
There is another advantage to burning outside combustion air; an increase in heating efficiency. While the fire is consuming room air in Winter months, the replacement air being drawn in through cracks around doors, windows, etc. is COLD.
If outside combustion air is provided for the fire, the opposite happens: heated air expands, so the house becomes positively pressurized, which tends to carry heated air TOWARD all the cracks, helping to distribute the heat throughout the house.
