Tobacco mated with a bull
Russian and Belarusian scientists have developed a tobacco, which grows faster and earlier starts to bloom. They introduced the gene into the chromosome of the plant, taken from the adrenal glands of cows. He is responsible for the synthesis of a substance called cytochrome P450SCC. Cytochrome in turn contributes to the cycle of biochemical reactions in the finals which are obtained by hormones that ensure accelerated growth of plants and other qualities that are useful for the national economy.

At the press select all rights to alcohol and tobacco advertising
Printing editions of Ukraine next year can have serious deficiency of the advertising budget. Most likely, advertising of tobacco and spirits in 2010 will be impossible. Publishers knew for a long time already about future changes. An interdiction expected to "bypass" at the expense of registration of editions, as specialised press. However last Friday in the Supreme Rada of Ukraine the bill which calls into question possibility of such roundabout way has been registered.
It is known that the interdiction for advertising of cigarettes and alcohol in a press comes into force since January, 1st, 2010. Thus until now in the law it has not been accurately defined, it is possible to consider what edition "specialised". It is natural that many publishing houses have re-registered the printing editions, as specialised. Under all documents of the edition existing at that point in time could apply for carrying out of the advertising companies of tobacco and alcohol.
On November, 6th, 2009 in the Supreme Rada deputies БЮТ Elena Kondratyuk and Nikolay Bagreevym had been presented the bill №5316 «About modification of the law« About advertising ». In it it is said that specialised it is necessary to consider only those editions which anyhow shine themes of manufacture, distribution or consumption of alcoholic drinks and tobacco, or the editions focused on those who is engaged in economic activities in these spheres.
Publishers are unpleasantly surprised by the new bill. After all by their estimations advertising of cigarettes and alcohol now makes about 5 % in press aggregate profits. Some editions focused on a man's audience, can brag of that in their incomes tabachno-alcoholic advertising makes 50-60 %.
Certainly, partially it is possible to bypass also the new bill. Some break-even sales level can be kept at the expense of so-called sponsor's packages. If it is impossible to place advertising of mark of cigarettes Pall Mall to advance company British American Tobacco, apparently, it is possible. However advertisers concern such offers with care. Desire of publishing houses nevertheless to receive the advertising budget does not coincide with desire of the tobacco companies not to risk. The director for corporate questions «JTI-Украина» Dmitry Redko has noticed that offers on advertising by means of sponsor's packages from the press already arrive, but the tobacco company will not be advertised, exact interpretation of the law yet not becomes known.
Most likely the companies trading in alcohol, will choose the same way, as the tobacco companies. Besides till now in a press the advertising companies only bonus group of production were spent. If transparent and lawful offers from publishing houses will not be, the alcoholic companies will redistribute the budget on other kinds of advertising. We will tell, on TV advertising of spirits is lawful from 23:00 till, and as in the form of sponsorship.

Suits claim wide coverage of cigarettes from tribes
As Hawker Yankee Stadium, but his voice is closer to a theatrical whisper, he repeated his step: "Newports. Loosies. Shorts. Longs".
His name is Paco, but on the streets of Harlem he is known simply as "$ 5 man," the nickname for the established network of dealers who sell bootleg cigarettes. His illegal traffic in Newports - $ 5 Pack or the single "loosie" cigarette for 50 cents - can bring him $ 100 or more per day.
Paco will not reveal their names or the source of his Newports, menthol brand widely popular in urban communities. But legal authorities claim that the traces of $ 5 men leads to American Indian reservations in upstate New York, a path they contend is smoothed on the tacit cooperation of some cigarette makers and distributors.
In New York, where state and city excise taxes total $ 4.25 a package, often push retail prices above $ 9, tax-free cigarettes from the reservations fuel is particularly active underground tobacco economy, according to police.
Combined, the city and the state loses more than $ 1 billion a year in tax revenue as a result Bootleg cigarettes distributed through New York's reservations, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg 'S office said Monday. Losses in the city will only pay the annual salaries and benefits for more than 3000 schools, the mayor said.
With the financial crisis put pressure on the city budget, Bloomberg administration places the blame for most of the lost revenue on the tiny Poospatuck Indian reservation on eastern Long Island. The city filed a civil suit on Monday against eight smoke shops on the reservation. The suit accuses those shops promote illegal trade "structuring and concealing bulk sales, assisting in the packing of vans destined for New York and even make their own supplies in bulk from the reservation."
So far, not a separate civil suit the Bloomberg administration filed in 2006 against seven tobacco wholesalers it accuses of violating federal laws smuggling untaxed cigarettes to reservations.
In accordance with federal and state law, the state has no right to assess taxes as long as cigarettes for Native Americans. But fewer than 20,000 Indians live on reservations, New York. And last year more than 30 million cartons - six billion cigarettes with a retail value of about $ 2 billion - were sold on Indian soil.
According to the State Department of Taxation and Finance, those cigarettes amounted to about one third of all cigarettes sold in the state of New York, where excise taxes on cigarettes are the highest in the country.
The bulk of wholesale shipments to New York reservations last year went to two tribes - Poospatucks on Long Island and the Seneca of western New York.
President of the Seneca Nation, John A. Morris, Senior, declined to comment through a representative. In court papers, the tribe of Seneca claimed that the sale of untaxed cigarettes to non-Indians for personal consumption, are not illegal.
On Tuesday, Harry Wallace, the head Poospatucks, accused in the politicization of this issue in the interest of convenience store owners who object to competition from tribal sales. "Do you have a number of people who use it as a political tool to gain favor with voters, to get political power," says Mr. Wallace.
Philip Morris USA, whose Marlboro brand is widely bootlegged, argued in federal court filings that shipments by one wholesaler reservation Poospatuck went to the addresses of little more than signs on sheds or trees.
Reporter who recently visited the Poospatuck reservation saw a sign for Wolf Pack Smoke Shop on the markets, of which the sign, smoking, Justin, on a tree outside a residential trailer. Passengers on the trailer told a reporter from the property, told her that there was no cigarette store. "It's just a sign on a tree," the woman screamed.
Law enforcement authorities say New York Indians also operate five of the top 10 Internet Web sites sell cheap cigarettes. And they say reservations are the main source of cigarette smuggling for rings, place counterfeit tax stamps on cigarettes and selling them in retail stores as if taxes were paid.
