Addison, TX, 09/27/2016 /SubmitPressRelease123/

Every October, it seems the United States is awash in pink. Pink ribbons spring up on vehicles and clothing, and even professional sports organizations trade in their team colors for pink. Many organizations have aided in breast cancer research, advocacy and education, and Solis Mammography, the nation’s largest independent provider of breast imaging services, applauds this important work. Since 1982, the pink ribbon has made it acceptable for men and women to talk more openly about women’s breast health and associate the pink ribbon with breast cancer awareness. With the passage of the Affordable Care Act in 2010, 2D mammography is covered 100 percent by nearly all insurance plans. And yet the sad reality is that almost half of American women who have health insurance are still not getting their annual mammogram.

“At Solis, we’ve done our research and understand that too many women neglect their annual screening, not because they’re busy, but because of the stress and anxiety related to this unique test. Much of that stress is alleviated, however, when women are educated about their options. That’s what Rethink P.I.N.K. is all about,” says Connie Oliver, vice president with Solis Mammography. “The pink ribbon has done a lot of good, but it’s also caused a lot of fear – fear that we can mitigate by providing a better experience, accurate and fast results, less callbacks, less discomfort and easy access. Put simply, there is a difference, and when women experience that difference, they make better choices.”

In October, especially, many will hear critics say that mammograms are not foolproof. And while that’s true (no screening test is perfect) – mammography is the closest thing we have to a cure, and it remains the gold standard for preventative breast health. And with the advent of 3D Mammography, accuracy is getting even better with research showing a 54 percent increase in detection and a 37 percent decrease in unnecessary callbacks, according to the American Journal of Roentgenology 2013.

At Solis Mammography, they understand that no one wants a mammogram – what they want is peace of mind in knowing that their screening was exceptionally accurate and came back clean. For those women who discover a breast health problem, early detection is key to a successful outcome, meaning not just survival, but also the potential for better and less invasive treatment options. For this reason, Solis Mammography (http://www.solismammo.com/) is launching its second year of a “Rethink P.I.N.K.” campaign to encourage women to focus on breast health rather than cancer and to get better educated about their options.

When it comes to Solis Mammography’s Rethink P.I.N.K. campaign, “P.I.N.K.” evolves from a color to an acronym, representing:

·       P = Peace of Mind. Solis Mammography’s Peace of Mind Mammogram™ demonstrates its promise to offer such an exceptional experience, women won’t avoid the mammogram they need.

·       I = Incredible Service. Deeply committed to patient-centric services, Solis offers online scheduling, easy tablet registration, convenient locations, compassionate care and fast results delivered by secure email within 24 to 48 hours.

·       N = Not what you Expect. While many women associate mammograms with pain, Solis’ breast-dedicated technologists are highly trained in compression and placement, with the result of 89 percent of their patients reporting little to no discomfort during their mammogram.

·       K = Knowledge is Power. Knowledge includes remembering that while 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, 7 in 8 will not. That’s 88 percent of women who can rest easy, knowing they’ll likely get an all clear from their screening. And for the 12 percent who discover an anomaly, the earlier they know, the better their options for treatment and positive outcomes.

“For over 30 years, we’ve kept our focus on women’s health and comfort,” Oliver adds. “We recommend women talk to their doctors about their own unique health histories and create an exam schedule that’s right for them. Rest assured, when they’re ready, we’ll be here to make sure she has an exceptional experience with exceptionally accurate results.”

About Rethink P.I.N.K.

Solis Mammography created the Rethink P.I.N.K. campaign in 2015 to coincide with October’s National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and to shift the focus of messaging around breast cancer to one of positivity and breast health: P = Peace of Mind, I = Incredible Service, N = No Discomfort, and K = Knowledge is Power.

Riverdale, NJ, 09/27/2016 /SubmitPressRelease123/

Did you know that air fresheners, candles, furniture, carpets & many other items create indoor air pollutants and are a health risk says Camfil Air Filtration Experts!                             

When you mention air pollution, most people automatically think of smog around cities and factories, or millions of cars racing from one place to another leaving trails of fumes behind them as they go. As dangerous as outdoor air pollution is, though, indoor air quality is often a much higher concern when it comes to the level of pollutants in the air.

Some pollutants make their way into homes and buildings and become trapped, building up over time. Others are let loose by the occupants themselves as they go about maintenance and cleaning, or even just trying to rid an area of an unpleasant odor. Because the air in indoor environments doesn’t circulate freely, many contaminants remain in the environment and become more of a health hazard as time goes by.

Effects caused by indoor air contaminants can range from simple things like coughing and sneezing to allergies and asthma. Over long periods of exposure, polluted indoor air can even play a significant role in chronic and potentially life threatening illnesses.

Indoor Air Quality Is a Top 5 Health Risk

Studies conducted by the EPA have shown that indoor air pollution levels are generally,  anywhere from two to five times higher than outdoor air. It is listed as one of the top 5 risks to human health. Some examples of causes for these levels of pollution indoors are the use of air fresheners, burning candles, gases released from cooking, household cleaners, and more.

Air Fresheners Can Be Poisonous

Most air fresheners contain phthalates, which are noxious chemicals that have been shown to disrupt hormone function in babies and small children as well as aggravate breathing impairments such as asthma.

Other chemicals released when air fresheners are used can react with ozone, a common gas in our environments, to form substances such as formaldehyde and acetone which also cause respiratory sensitivity and can restrict breathing airflow.

Candles Pollute the Air Too

Many people burn candles to create a pleasant scent covering up indoor odors. Unfortunately, candles release their share of contaminants into the air too. Most candles contain benzene and toluene, both of which are known carcinogens. When burned, they will also release hydrocarbons such as alkanes and alkenes (both found in car exhaust).

Furniture and Carpets Release Chemicals Into The Air

Furniture upholstery is made with chemicals known as PBDEs (Polybrominated diphenyl ethers) and is commonly used as a flame retardant. These chemicals slowly disperse into the air over time. The same chemicals can be found in many carpets and the padding installed underneath. Over time, significant amounts of these chemicals are released from the products into the environment.

Indoor Air Pollution Can Cause Health Issues

Indoor air pollution is much more than just smoke and bad odors. Every day people are breathing in things like VOCs, phthalates, PBDEs, mold, pollen, pet dander, radon, and more. Most of these things exist in the air as fine particles that are actually small enough to pass through the lungs and enter the bloodstream. All of them pose a serious risk to human health with long periods of repeated exposure.

Various contaminants that commonly build up in indoor areas have been shown to cause symptoms like dry eyes, headaches, nasal congestion, fatigue, and even nausea. Others have been linked to more serious problems such as asthma, lung infections, and lung cancer.

Air Filtration Is the Solution

There is only one way to remove all of these contaminants from the air we breathe in indoor environments — air filtration. It’s especially important in large buildings such as office spaces or retail shopping locations. With more people entering and leaving a building, and more cleaning products being used day in and day out, the amount of chemicals and toxins left circulating in the air can be staggering.

Proper ventilation and filtration of recirculating air is the only way to remove these contaminants before they build up and pose a threat to the people who live, work or enjoy their leisure time in any building.

Camfil air products can be used to filter and clean the air in any indoor environment. Our products represent the very best in air filtration technology and innovation. From replacement filters capable of removing sub-micron sized particles and gases, to complete air circulation and filtration systems, every product is backed with more than 50 years of experience. With the highest filtration efficiency and lowest total cost of ownership in the industry, Camfil products can’t be beat.

Dallas, TX, USA, 09/27/2016 /SubmitPressRelease123/

In one of the more unusual cases in Dallas County in recent memory, former Judge Lena Levario dismissed the mortgage fraud indictments against a wealthy heir named Al Hill III because former Dallas County District Attorney Craig Watkins refused to testify at a hearing about whether he and his office had selectively or vindictively prosecuted Mr. Hill in order to benefit a lawyer and benefactor of Mr. Watkins, reports John Helms Dallas criminal lawyer. The lawyer potentially stood to collect millions of dollars in attorney’s fees in a civil case against Mr. Hill, and Mr. Hill’s lawyers claimed that the lawyer improperly influenced DA Watkins to prosecute Mr. Hill in order to get leverage in the civil case.

Over the State’s objection, Judge Levario held an evidentiary hearing about the alleged selective and vindictive prosecution claims. An evidentiary hearing is one in which each side can call witnesses and take their testimony about the issue. DA Watkins was subpoenaed to testify, but he refused, claiming that he was not legally required to testify about a matter of his office prosecuting someone. The lawyer who was alleged to have improperly influenced the prosecution also refused to testify. She took “the Fifth,” meaning she invoked her constitutional right against self-incrimination.

Judge Levario found that there was enough evidence of possible improper influence that Mr. Hill was entitled to an evidentiary hearing. She further ruled that Mr. Hill was denied a fair hearing because the only people who could testify about the lawyer’s influence, if any, on DA Watkins were the lawyer and DA Watkins. But they both refused to testify. She, therefore, dismissed the indictments.

On appeal, the Dallas Court of Appeals ruled that Mr. Hill had not presented enough evidence of selective or vindictive prosecution to be entitled to a hearing on the issue. Therefore, the court held that Judge Levario abused her discretion by holding a hearing at all, and it reinstated the indictments.

The case was then appealed to the highest criminal appeals court in Texas: The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. This week, the Court of Criminal Appeals unanimously reversed the Dallas Court of Appeals. The media reported it as a great victory against the District Attorney’s office.

But what does it mean for criminal defendants around Texas? Does it mean that they can get a hearing on selective or vindictive prosecution claims and force the District Attorney to testify under oath about his or her motivations for the prosecution? The answer to that is, “In all likelihood, no.”

First of all, the Court of Criminal Appeals held only that Judge Levario acted within her discretion in holding a hearing at all. On this score, the Court held that Mr. Hill had enough evidence to support his claim that it was not beyond the bounds of reason to hold a hearing. The Court did not say one way or another whether it was proper to require prosecutors or the District Attorney to testify at such a hearing. Nor did the Court approve or disapprove of the dismissal of the indictments when the District Attorney and the lawyer refused to testify. It sent the case back to the Dallas Court of appeals and left those issues for that court to decide, reported criminal defense attorney Helms.

Second, under the law, it is very rare for a criminal defendant to have enough evidence to convince a judge to allow the defendant to get testimony from prosecutors on a selective or vindictive prosecution.

Many people do not understand how difficult it is to prove selective or vindictive prosecution. These require a lot more than just a prosecutor being angry or acting like he or she is “out to get” you.

Selective prosecution means that at least one other identifiable similarly situated person was not prosecuted and that the basis for the prosecution is because of the defendant’s race, religion, gender, or other arbitrary classification. So, if the prosecution is based on the prosecutor’s belief that the defendant may really be guilty, then selective prosecution does not apply, even if other similarly situated people were not prosecuted. In other words, the mere fact that other guilty people may not have been prosecuted does not mean that anyone else can be prosecuted.

Vindictive prosecution requires a showing that the ONLY reason for a prosecution is because the prosecutor was acting for a type of improper purpose, such as retaliating against a person for exercising their constitutional rights. So, if part of the reason for the prosecution is a belief in the defendant’s guilt, there is no vindictive prosecution.

Claims of selective or vindictive prosecution are rarely successful. When they are, it is because of really unusual facts. If you are accused of a crime, be wary of any criminal defense attorney who might try to get your hopes up about these claims, especially an unscrupulous lawyer who is trying to get you to hire him or her. Unless your circumstances are extraordinary, it is probably best to focus on a defense strategy with a better chance of success.

If you, a family member or someone you know has been charged with a crime or have been convicted and need help with an appeal in the Dallas area, contact Dallas criminal lawyer John Helms at (214) 666-8010 or fill out the online contact form. You can discuss your case, how the law may apply and your best legal options to protect your rights and freedom.
