The Michigan Daily is a member of The Associated Press and The Associated Collegiate Press, Judge strikes down NYC ban on supersized sodas ,, a Bloomberg's drink regulation defeated by N.Y. Supreme Court NEW YORK (AP) - A judge struck down New York City's pioneering ban on big sug- ary drinks Monday just hours before it was supposed to take effect, handing a defeat to health-minded Mayor Michael Bloomberg and creating confu- sion for restaurants that had already ordered smaller cups and changed their menus. State Supreme Court Jus- tice Milton Tingling said the 16-ounce limit on sodas and other sweet drinks arbitrarily applies to only some sugary bev- erages and some places that sell them. "The loopholes in this rule effectively defeat the stated purpose of this rule," Tingling wrote in a victory for the bev- MCAT - LOOT - 0M AT - ORE -Small Clses -Expertl ksttructors +r" E xtraKelp -Online Studeint Center .°ae®s r.alaes"m 8O-Z3-4 erage industry, restaurants and other business groups that called the rule unfair and wrong-headed. In addition, the judge said the Bloomberg-appointed Board of Health intruded on City Coun- cil's authority when it imposed the rule. The city vowed to appeal the decision, issued by New York state's trial-level court. "We believe the judge is totally in error in how he inter- preted the law, and we are con- fident we will win on appeal," Bloomberg said. He added: "One of the cases we will make is that people are dying every day. This is not a joke. Five thousand peo- ple die of obesity every day in America." Fornow, though, the ruling it means the ax won't fall Tues- day on supersized sodas, sweet- ened teas and other high-sugar beverages in restaurants, movie theaters, corner delis and sports arenas. "The court ruling provides a sigh of relief to New Yorkers and thousands of small businesses in New York City that would have been harmed by this arbi- trary and unpopular ban," the American Beverage Associa- tion and other opponents said, adding that the organization is open to other "solutions that will have a meaningful and last- ing impact." The first of its kind in the country, the restriction has sparked reaction from city streets to late-night talk shows, celebrated by some as a bold attempt to improve people's health and derided by others as another "nanny state" law from Bloomberg during his 11 years in office. On his watch, the city has compelled chain restaurants to post calorie counts, barred artificial trans fats in restaurant food and prodded food manu- facturers to use less salt. The city has successfully defended some of those initiatives in court. Rodrigo Abd/AP Opposition leader Henrique Capriles speaks during a press conference in Caracas, Venezuela on Friday. Capriles called Vice President Nicolas Maduro a bold-faced liar and accuses him of using Hugo Chavez's funeral to campaign for the presidency. Chavez's successor files for presidential election run 0 Opposition accuses Maduro of politicizing former president's death CARACAS (AP) - Thousands of cheering, crying admirers accompanied President Hugo Chavez's hand-picked successor Monday as he registered to be a candidate to replace the dead leader, while forcing the main opposition candidate to delay his entry into the race. The massive crowd thronged acting President Nicolas Maduro and blocked opposition candidate Henrique Capriles from register- ing for the April 14 vote by the 2 p.m. deadline. The Capriles campaign told The Associated Press that an aide registered for the candidate at the election commission later Monday afternoon. Maduro also announced a change in Chavez's final resting place Monday, and the informa- tion ministry later said that offi- cials had not decided what will happen to the late president's body. Last week, Maduro had said the body would be embalmed and perpetually displayed in the country's military museum. Thousands applauded from a plaza outside the National Elec- tion Commission, waving ban- ners and holding up posters of Chavez as Maduro registered. Many wore the red shirts and baseball caps of Chavez's rul- ing Socialist Party, letting out a loud cheer when acting President Nicolas Maduro arrived to sign his election papers. Some cried as Maduro saluted them from the building's balcony, eulogizing Chavez once again as Venezuela's "father redeemer" and asking God to give him "the wisdom to allow me to carry out the orders he gave us." Later, he launched into a speech of more than two hours in the plaza outside the building, introducinghis longtime partner, Attorney General Cilia Flores, and their children and grandchil- dren to the crowd. "I am not Chavez, but I am his son, and all of us together, the people, we are Chavez," he said. Opposition supporters denounced the carefully stage- managed event as an affront to basic electoral fairness. The elec- toral commission is meant to play an impartial role ensuring the vote is fair and free. Campaigning doesn't official- ly start until April 2, but already the two sides are at each other's throats. Capriles announced his can- didacy Sunday, while blasting Chavez's top lieutenants for try- ing to use the president's death to stoke passions and tilt the elec- tion. "You are playing politics with the president's body," he said, adding that he wasn't convinced the government had been hon- est about when Chavez died, and had lied to the people during his long illness by insisting he would get better. The government says Chavez succumbed to cancer on Tuesday after a nearly two-year battle. It has offered almost no clinical information. Capriles previously called Maduro a shameless liar and referred to him condescendingly as "boy." Maduro appeared right after Capriles on state TV on Sunday, accusing "the losing, miserable candidate" of defaming Chavez andhis family. He called Capriles a "fascist" who was trying to pro- voke violence by insulting the "crystalline, pure image of Com- mander Chavez." f
