NFL NEWS

It’s official Kurt Warner QB for the Arizona Cardinals has just retired after 12 great years in the NFL. Warner was always one of the top professional NFL players on and off the field and spent a lot of his time during the off-season helping out with different charities. During his career Warner won two MVP awards, went to the Pro bowl 5 times and won the Super Bowl with the St. Louis Rams early in his career. Even though he had 2 years and million left on his contract, he felt this was the perfect time for him to walk away from the game.

The Cincinnati Bengals rookie LB Rey Maualuga has been arrested for DUI after he hit a parking meter and 2 park cars early this morning. But after learning about this the only thing that has me puzzled since athletes get DUI all the time is why is he still driving a 2003 Pontiac.

This Sunday night is the 2009-10 NFL Pro Bowl that will be held in Miami instead of the usually place Hawaii. Another difference is that this year’s game is the week before the Super Bowl instead of after, which makes all the players in the Super Bowl that made it to the Pro Bowl not eligible. But because the rule states that even if you cant play in the Pro Bowl if you made the team you must make an appearance which has angered many Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints players that have to miss their teams flight in order to fulfill their duties under league rules.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL NEWS

The weekend the top seniors in college football will suit up for the North and South and battle it out in this year Senior Bowl. While there is a lot of marquee players in the game the most hyped up player competing is Florida Gators QB Tim Tebow. Tebow won many accolades during his tenure at Florida but many experts predict that he will not make a good QB in the NFL. Many feel he has a better chance as a tight end due to his lack of arm strength that is needed to succeed in the NFL. However Tebow plans on proving people wrong this weekend in front of every NFL scout that thinks he should look at playing another position. Just to make things worst Tebow was diagnosed with streap throat this week and was running a 103-degree temperature on Wednesday.

Behavioral Health Provider, D.J. Diebold Provides Revolutionary New On-Line Mental Health Services

D.J. Diebold, a Board Certified, State Licensed Behavioral Health Counselor and Therapist provides one of the largest provider of Web-based counseling services.

As a Behavioral Health Counselor, Therapist, Author and Motivational Speaker, Diebold says, “I try to take a spiritual approach to life’s dynamics. To perform at the highest level, you’ve got to walk the talk and lead by example. When clarity, honesty and compassion are interwoven with the daily fabric of our lives, happiness empowers us to accomplish virtually anything we can think, feel or imagine.”

The Diebold Behavioral Counseling practice offers a broad range of psychotherapeutic modalities. These include all addictions, including alcohol, (DUI Counseling), methamphetamine addiction, cocaine addiction, heroin addiction, marijuana addiction, generalized substance abuse, depression, anxiety, relationship solutions, stress management training, DMV driver’s license reinstatement evaluations, grief, trauma and life coaching. My clients are courageous and my mandated mission in life is to facilitate their needs in a realistic, pragmatic manner.”

A prolific writer, Mr. Diebold’s most recent publication, “Thru Charlotte’s Eyes,” is both humorous and inspirational. This autobiographical love story was written with an inspirational warmth geared to dispel the Illusion of Separation that effects our society and our worldwide collective psyche.”

If counseling is properly facilitated, according to Diebold, “the client feels a sense of harmony and balance, known as homeostasis. Support groups such as the 12-Step Approach of Alcoholics Anonamous or the more secular approach of Rational Recovery are both recomended, depending on the client’s personal perspective. It’s all about discovering the true reason we’ve chosen to be who we are. Intelligent counseling lights the way.”

Mr, Diebold take great pride in the fact that his practice, “intentionally focuses on individual counseling; in this way “we can customize our approach to your behavioral needs in privacy, without the interruption of the group dynamic and the needs of other group members. The session is yours and yours alone. This allows us to progress towards your goals in a focused, efficient manner.”

According to Charles F of Phoenix, AZ, his life was quite scary before he was introduce to Diebold. Charles admittedly states that “It literally took an Act of God to get me to counseling. I was really scared and didn’t really trust that any counselor could help. I’m so glad I made myself seek help. It’s made such a difference.”

Robert D, of Scottsdale, AZ admits that his “life was totally out of control before I met D.J. Diebold. I was drinking too much and I felt down all the time. A friend recommended I talk to D.J. Diebold and he helped me to believe in myself again.”

Mr. Diebold offers many forms of mental health counseling approaches in his therapeutic milieu, including cognitive counseling or cognitive behavioral counseling. (CBT) Client Centered Counseling, a Rogerian approach and Eclectic Counseling are psychotherapeutic tools that have been time tested.

Diebold facilitates with genuine concern for his clients individual needs in a therapeutic setting. As a professional, Diebold understands that people need to learn to believe in themselves again, regardless of how hopeless things appear at the time. Diebold’s main hope is that you will “allow us to help you in this time of need.”

Arizona Photo Radar ? Power Hungry Police with Large Ego?s

An exposed photo radar manual shows details on how to steal, use, operate, and maintain the cameras. In an article released by KFYI, Dow says that the Redflex operations manual, which was supplied to CameraFRAUD by a “confidential source,” states that “judges, city workers and other city government workers cannot get tickets.” The manual also provides a flow chart, easy enough to analyze by your typical bureaucrat, how to distribute tickets—and bring in the take—to Arizona citizens. DPS appears to have all but pulled the plug on its usage of Redflex mobile photo radar units on Arizona state highways.   In many cases, red light and photo radar cameras actually lead to more accidents because local governments shorten the yellows to increase the number of red light runners, while other folks slam on their brakes to beat the speed cameras, only to increase their speed again once they pass the speed cameras.

Look at the Statistics! During a study session of the City Council on Tuesday, the city manager told council members that data gathered in the year since the cameras were installed could be used to make “different interpretations.” “In effect, the jury is out on whether these cameras are making these intersections safer,” said City Manager Carl Swenson. “And that’s what we’re ultimately about. We don’t want to just give people tickets.” According to numbers from the Police Department, collisions at the four intersections have doubled since a private company finished installing red light cameras in June 2008. During the 2007 fiscal year, from July 1 to June 30, there were 36 collisions at the intersections. In fiscal 2008, there were 73. The numbers over doubled after placing photo radar on this corner. Councilman Ron Aames from the Palo Verde District said the increase suggests that the cameras might actually be making intersections more dangerous. Aames replied, “I’m thinking if these numbers were reversed . . . I probably wouldn’t hear these other ways of explaining it. “I don’t want this to be a situation where we’re just giving tickets to people and not really making the roads safer.”

Story from a friend traveling across Arizona: Thirty miles outside Flagstaff on Interstate 40, an RV broke down while they were traveling across the country this summer. They desperately tried to contact their towing company, but due to limited cell service they could not reach them. We were able to get 911, who said they would call towing. They also informed us that since it was Sunday, we’d have to wait for some time. That was the last we ever spoke to the police. The temperature was well over 90 degrees and storm clouds were swirling above. In the hours we waited outside in the heat, not one car stopped to inquire if they needed help. Better yet, not one state trooper or patrol car came by to check to see if they were OK. Where is our state highway patrol? Are we running a Department of Public Safety or a Department of Public Photo Enforcement? What they did see frequently as they traveled our roads were police cruisers taking pictures of people speeding. What about people who have the misfortune of breaking down on your highways — are there no police available to lend a hand because they are out there taking pictures?  Keeping the public safe from aggressive drivers is important, but coming to the aid of stranded motorists is just as important if not more so.

From listening to both sides of the photo radar controversy for some time now, I’ve yet to find an educated opinion when it comes to supporting photo radar.  Not only is this state driving vacationers away, but it’s driving its own home grown citizens out. Police officers pretending to be the kings of law on every corner, it’s scarier than downtown phoenix. Performing unlawful searches and falsifying breathalyzer reports, it’s hard to support such a government. One wonders if the statistics were available, which would make more money, the combination of dui and photo radar revenue, or the high priced taxed goods purchased by wealthy visitors. Instead of pissing off the entire state, why not set up a healthier process.  While we all know photo radar is just another “play on taxes” (Tax given a safety spin to get citizens to pay) we should be thinking of real solutions to Arizona’s debt issue. Power hungry politicians and law enforcement will only drive out what’s left of such a beautiful state.

Arrested for DUI ? What Should I Do?

If you find yourself arrested for Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol (DUI) in the State of Arizona, and you have submitted to a breath, blood, or urine test, and the results of the test reveal a blood/breath alcohol result of .08% or higher, or you have refused these tests, you can expect to be involved in two separate legal proceedings.

A criminal proceeding in court A civil proceeding with the Department of Motor Vehicles (MVD) and the likely suspension of your driver license.

These two proceedings are mutually exclusive; the outcome of one will not affect the other. You could win both matters or lose both matters. How the MVD driver license hearing is handled is extremely important.

Your DUI arrest begins your criminal proceeding. The consequences of this — plea of guilty, or a verdict of guilty following a jury or bench trial — could result in mandatory jail time, fines, fees and assessments, supervised or unsupervised probation, as well as a criminal record. The civil proceeding is conducted before an administrative hearing officer at the MVD. This proceeding deals with a possible suspension of your driver’s license, or if from out of state, your privilege to drive in Arizona.  The arresting police officer will serve you with a “Notice of Suspension.” If you have been arrested in Arizona for DUI and you take a breath, blood or urine test, and the results measured a alcohol concentration of .08% or more within 2 hours of driving, or you refuse to take the blood, breath or other chemical test, the arresting police will serve you with a 90 day driver license suspension notice, or in the case of refusal, a 12 month driver license or driving privilege suspension. The police should give you two copies of this form.

If your test results indicate a result of .08% or higher, the police will seize your Arizona driver license, and issue you a temporary license which is valid for 15 days, or, if you request a hearing within the 15 day window, until the hearing is conducted and the outcome determined. Since the police confiscated your driver license, the yellow copy of the suspension notice is your temporary driver license.

If you are from out of state, the police cannot seize your driver license. They will serve you with a notice of suspension of your privilege to drive in Arizona. The suspension will take effect 15 days after service unless you request a hearing within the 15 days. If a hearing is requested, your privilege to drive in Arizona will not be suspended until the hearing is conducted and the outcome determined.

If you refused to take the breath, blood or urine test, the police will serve you a notice of a 12-month suspension of your driver license, or privilege to drive if you are from out of state. This suspension becomes effective 15 days from the date of service unless you request a hearing. If a hearing is requested your driver license or privilege to drive in Arizona will not be suspended until the hearing is conducted and the outcome determined. If your refused to take a breath, blood or urine test, it is likely that the police obtained a search warrant and obtained your blood anyway. If this is the case, your driver license or privilege to drive will still be suspended for 12 months even though the police obtained your blood through the use of a search warrant.

A request for hearing must be submitted in writing to the MVD. Generally, the pink copy of suspension form, furnished by the police, is used to request this hearing. It is important to fill out the information completely and accurately on the back of the pink form. You must check the box indicating you are requesting an Administrative Hearing and mail it, within 15 days of service to you by the police, to: Arizona Department of Transportation, Executive Hearing Office, Mail Drop 507M, P.O. Box 2100, Phoenix, AZ 85001-2100. Do not select Summary Review; this will not get you a hearing, but merely a review of the paperwork submitted by the police.

In the criminal case, if you plead guilty to the charge of DUI, or if you are found guilty, you will be sentenced in accordance within the present Arizona DUI sentencing guidelines. When the State receives notification of the verdict, your driver license will be suspended for 90 days. However, if you are a first offender, or you have had no DUI convictions within the past five years, and if you took the breath, blood or other required test, and if you have been found guilty in the criminal proceeding, or you feel that such a result is likely, then you may wish to agree to a suspension of your driver license prior to or at the MVD hearing.

Agreeing to the suspension will entitle you to a 60 day restricted driving permit following a 30 day suspension. The suspension is still classified as a 90 day suspension. To obtain the restricted driving permit, you must apply at a local MVD office following the first 30 days of the suspension.  Agreeing to the suspension will generally resolve the civil proceeding sooner and oftentimes well before the resolution of your Criminal matter in court. This is advantageous as you get the suspension over with sooner and under less onerous circumstances. Agreeing to the suspension will generally result in no further suspension of your driver license if you later plead or are found guilty of your DUI in court. In the case of a stipulated suspension from MVD, there will be no requirement that you post proof of Financial Responsibility before your Arizona driver license or privilege is reinstated. Agreeing to the suspension will allow you to select the day you want your suspension to begin, so long as the suspension start date is within 45 days of your MVD hearing date. This allows flexibility in arranging transportation to work or school during the initial 30 days of the suspension. NOTE: If you request a hearing and actually go through with it and lose, the only difference is that your will not be able to choose the day the suspension begins. You should still be eligible for the 30 day driver license suspension followed by the 60 day restricted driving permit.

If you agree to the suspension, you do not get a hearing with the administrative law judge. You do not get to challenge the police officers or contest the evidence in the civil hearing. Sometimes this hearing may be important to gather critical evidence in your DUI case. However, this decision should not be made without first discussing your DUI case and individual circumstances with an experienced DUI defense attorney.

If you have the Administrative Hearing and win, and later lose your DUI case, either through a plea or finding of guilty at trial, MVD will suspend your driver license for 90 consecutive days. There is no eligibility for a restricted driving permit following the first 30 days of the suspension.  Further, if you are convicted either through a plea or finding of guilty in court you will be required to provide proof of financial responsibility (insurance) for three years by filing with the State of Arizona either a ,000 cash deposit, or Certificates of Deposit (CD’s) totaling ,000 or a Certificate of Insurance (SR22). This Financial Responsibility requirement could have significant cost implications for you, depending upon your selection of acceptable Financial Responsibility filings and/or your insurance carrier’s underwriting requirements.

Basic Laws Regarding Seattle Dui Fines And Sentencing

The latest news, according to a Phoenix DUI attorney is that the Senate Bill 1069, which is about to be heard by the Arizona State Legislature in the Second Regular Session of 2010, is coming up with a proposal of changing the existing class 6 felony of DUI with a 15 year old person in the vehicle to a class 4 felony. According to the existing Phoenix DUI law, if a person is driving a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or other drugs with a 14 year old or younger child in the vehicle, it will be charged as a DUI offense and they will be subject to the corresponding DUI jail time agreeing to its misdemeanor counterpart.

As the Phoenix DUI lawyer said, the new Senate Bill makes a proposition to change the designation of the offense from class 6 felony to a class 4 felony. The bill further proposes to increase the punishment to match up to the standard of class 4 felony Aggravated DUI punishment. This punishment, however, is imprisonment for at least 4 months for a first offense. Imprisonment here refers to the person being condemned to the Department of Corrections without being released for work (no work release or work furlough option) – which means 24 hour custody for 4 consecutive months.

Generally the run of the mill Aggravated DUI involves a 3rd DUI conviction within the time span of 7 years. According to Phoenix DUI attorneys, if a person does not get the point after the first 2 DUIs, he or she should be sentenced to the prison immediately after receiving the 3rd DUI. This is agreeable and well-supported by most people. According to the second provision, if a person is DUI convicted while his or her license has been suspended for any reason, then also the person is likely to be imprisoned for 4 months. However, most people think that this punishment is too harsh on a person for a first DUI. Except Maricopa, every county in Arizona does not enforce this type of DUI. They allow a person to plead to a misdemeanor DUI with a misdemeanor driving even on Suspended License tickets. In simple words, most Arizona citizens are unaware of this second type of Aggravated DUI.

It has been decided that in Maricopa County people who gets a DUI while their License is suspended, will straight away go to the prison for a minimum period of 4 months. But, the problem is that more than half of Arizona citizen’s, at some point of time had their License suspended. This sort of License suspensions generally takes place at early age, when youngsters are not even aware of the traffic rules. Therefore, as an end result most of the college students get expelled from any State University and or lose their scholarships in addition to a 4 months of imprisonment.

As per a Phoenix DUI lawyer, it seems that now the State Legislature is eager to add this 4 month penalty to any person, who gets a DUI when and if they have a child aged 15 or below in the vehicle. Although many people may find this penalty not enough for driving under the influence with a child in the car, according to a Phoenix DUI attorney during this time of economic crisis, reducing the DUI penalty from class 4 felony to a misdemeanor DUI and a misdemeanor Driving on Suspended License for DUI with a suspended license is quite practical and make much more sense.

Every state has drunk driving laws. Most states refer to drunk driving as DUI; some states refer to drunk driving as DWI; still others refer to drunk driving as OUI, OWI, DUII, DWAI, OUIL or OMVI. But no matter what you call it, the consequences are potentially severe: jail, fines, loss of driver’s license, required ignition interlock devices, attendance at alcohol education programs, lectures given by MADD, SADD, or RADD, community service or freeway cleanup, increased car insurance rates, a criminal conviction, and more.

All 50 states and the District of Columbia have per se laws defining it as a crime to drive with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) at or above a proscribed level, 0.08 percent. Forty-five states permit some offenders to drive only if their vehicles have been equipped with ignition interlocks. These devices analyze a driver’s breath and disable the ignition if the driver has been drinking. In 30 states, multiple offenders may forfeit vehicles that are driven while impaired by alcohol.

Each year, states enact stronger DUI laws and more severe drunk driving penalties. You could lose your driver’s license, be placed in jail and fined substantial fees. Your car insurance rates may rise and you could end up with a criminal conviction on your record that could impact your future and your employment opportunities.
