The short answer is "yes," but there are a number things you need to do to fully protect yourself in this situation.
We are seeing more and more DUIs in Arizona prosecuted where an individual simply pulls off to the side of the road and falls asleep in their vehicle or never even drives their vehicle and simply goes to sleep in their car.
The bad news is, even though you've tried to do the right thing by pulling off the roadway, there is still a high likelihood that you will be contacted by law enforcement – if for nothing more than for a "welfare check" on an individual sleeping (or having a medical emergency) in a vehicle.
The good news is that there is a legal theory in Arizona that protects people from convictions in these situations, but it is oftentimes a difficult path to travel down without an experienced lawyer.
As you likely know, in Arizona, you don't actually have to be driving your vehicle to be prosecuted for (or convicted of) a DUI. Indeed, in Arizona, if you have consumed alcohol and get behind the wheel, just being in "Actual Physical Control" of a motor vehicle can be enough to be convicted of DUI.
But, "Actual Physical Control" is a nebulous term that has spawned a number of legal decisions that have tried to define it for our trial courts. Even the most recent case lists more than 13 different variables for determining what actually constitutes "Actual Physical Control" for the purposes of our DUI laws.
I have often made the practical argument that a person who voluntarily takes themselves off the roadway and out of a dangerous situation should not be treated the same as someone who knows that they've had too much to drink, but just tries to "make it home." The ability to raise and effectively negotiate this position, however, is one that certainly should be handled by an experienced criminal defense attorney.
Back to the good news: It is currently the law in Arizona that "[t]he law does not forbid an individual from using a vehicle as stationary shelter when there is no actual threat posed to the public by the exercise of present or imminent control over it while impaired." State v. Tarr, 331 P.3d 423 (2014). "Actual Physical Control" cannot be based on speculative potential use, but rather requires proof that the individual presented a real danger to herself or others.
So, if you find yourself in this unfortunate situation, I have a few words of advice:
These tips won't assure that you won't have contact with law enforcement, but it will create a more defensible case particularly in light of the fact that you were trying to do the right thing by getting yourself off the roadway when you shouldn't have been driving in the first place.
If you or a loved one find yourself in this position, it is vital that you consult an experienced criminal defense attorney to help you through the situation. Woody Thompson and Jay Volquardsen have represented over 10,000 individuals in their 35 + years of practice. They can be reached, day or night, at (602) 510-9999 for a consultation.
"Jay provided impeccable attention to my case. He knew the law, communicated it to me precisely, heard my concerns, answered my questions, alleviated my fear, and negotiated a fair, streamlined settlement. He was always friendly and upbeat, and in the end I could breathe a sigh of relief and feel satisfied that the very best had been done for me."

Augusta Regional Airport continues to tweak its first come, first served plane parking system ahead of the steep increase in private aircraft expected for Masters Week.
Last year, the airport for the first time closed its smaller runway to double parking space to accommodate about 200 private aircraft, depending on size.
This year, Augusta Regional is expanding a secondary fixed-base operator office and adding more vans to transport passengers, said Ken Hinkle, its director of aviation services.
"As the welcome mat to the city, we want to make it as simple as possible, with as much space as we can," Hinkle said.
The airport continues to learn from 2013, when an online reservation system left some parking spaces reserved but empty, or filled by planes overstaying a reservation, which boosted traffic to smaller airports, he said.
Even when parking is full – which typically happens late Wednesday or Thursday, the day Masters Tournament play starts – private aircraft may continue to take off and land, he said.
Parking a private plane at Augusta Regional runs from $1,200 per day for the largest jets to $300 daily, plus a landing fee.
Hinkle said he projects about 2,400 flights in and out of Augusta Regional for the 2016 Masters, and double that for the area's four airports combined.
Last year during Masters Week, Augusta Regional had 2,844 flights while Daniel Field saw 1,126.

(Yicai Global) Nov. 15 -- The Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect program and the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect program have witnessed a steady growth of transactions thanks to better understanding on the part of investors of the two sides of the interconnectivity mechanism. More and more investors from the Chinese mainland began to purchase overseas assets through the Hong Kong Stock Connect programs, show the main transaction data of the Hong Kong stock connectivity programs over the past three years as issued by the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEx) yesterday.
As of Oct. 31 this year, transactions worth HKD3.33 trillion (USD426.4 billion) had been made through the Hong Kong Stock Connect programs, creating HKD637.5 billion of net capital inflows for the Hong Kong Stock Market. Investors from the Chinese mainland have bought USD103.7 billion worth of Hong Kong shares through the programs, up more than 100 percent compared with that of last year. In the first 10 months this year, the average daily transaction volume of the programs accounted for 7.2 percent of that in the Hong Kong Stock Market, much higher than 2.4 percent in 2015 and 4 percent in 2016, the data showed.
More transactions are also made on the part of the Shanghai Stock Connect program and the Shenzhen Stock Connect program. Up until Oct. 31 this year, they had facilitated transactions worth USD614.4 billion, generating CNY326.3 billion (USD49.2 billion) of net capital inflows for the two main stock markets in the Chinese mainland. During this period, investors from Hong Kong and overseas have together held CNY3.31 trillion of Shanghai-traded shares and CNY181.4 billion of Shenzhen-traded shares.
The connect programs link the markets in both sides ever closer. By virtue of the innovative approach of pooling all transactions and net clearing amount, both markets can carry out interconnected transactions while keeping in place their respective market regulations, market structure and transaction practices. Such programs help open the Chinese mainland capital market to its full potential at the lowest institutional cost and make Hong Kong more attractive as an international finance center, said Li Xiaojia, executive director of HKEx.
The Shanghai-Hong Hong Stock Connect program kicked off in November 2014, while the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect program took off the ground in December 2016. Both schemes make it convenient for investors to directly engage in each other's market for the first time without having to change local market transaction practices.

Lincolnshire parents prepare for primary school offers
Lincolnshire County Council has reminded parents to prepare for primary school offers next week.
Parents who applied online will be able to login to the school admissions website on Tuesday April 18 and collect their offers.
Those who sent off paper and telephone applications will have to wait for a reply in the post.
Once an offer has been collected, parents must confirm or decline it. If they do miss out on their first choice there is an opportunity to appeal the school's decision online.
The council advises parents to accept any offer, even if it was not their first choice, to ensure that their child will have a school to go to in September.
The number of families in Lincolnshire apply for school in September this year is down on last year but is still high.
Despite this, the council assures parents that most children will receive their first choice of school.
Steve Gamble, school admissions manager, said: "To all those parents who have applied online, it's important you follow the links on the website to collect your offer.
"If you've forgotten your password then it's a simple case of resetting them. It is always our intention to support as many parents as possible with their preferences.
"There are many stories about how stressful the admissions process can be, but every year the overwhelming majority of parents are successful in gaining admission to the school of their choice."

The shake-up in the Orioles front office continued yesterday when sales director Vince Dunbar became the latest veteran club official to announce his resignation.
Dunbar, 33, spent 10 years with the Orioles, including the past two as sales director. Among his duties was calming fans who call the Orioles seeking better locations for their season tickets at Camden Yards.
After leaving the Orioles at the end of the month, Dunbar will join Durrett-Sheppard Steel Co., a Baltimore firm, as a sales representative.
About 35 of the Orioles' 90 full-time employees have resigned or have been fired since last October, when lawyer Peter G. Angelos bought the team and began streamlining its operation.

Together we can Restore the Earth
Healthy, functional ecosystems illustrate that the Earth provides us with clean air, enough food, water, and energy - all that is needed for life to flourish. Unfortunately, these ecosystems are under great threat from human impact.
Be part of the great work of our time
Although this is the reality we are confronting, hope still lives in the minds of thousands of people all around the world. They are trying to restore what has been lost and contribute to the great work of our time. Under the guidance of John D. Liu (expert on ecological restoration) and with support from Regeneration International, the Permaculture Research Institute, the World Permaculture Association and the Commonland Foundation a large movement has grown by the hundreds since july 2016 and has culminated in the formation of the Ecosystem Restoration Cooperative.
About the Cooperative
The Cooperative's objective is to finance and manage the work leading up to building the first Ecosystem Restoration Camp. This first camp will be financed by the founding members, each of whom contributes 10 euro per month to make this work possible.
The Ecological Restoration Cooperative includes a broad community of researchers, landscape designers, farmers, gardeners, engineers and many other professionals. We collectively set up an Ecosystem Restoration Camp and with each other's help they can restore the landscape around it. The world has many suitable areas where ecological landscape restoration is essential to regain environmental, social and economic value. There is great potential land, so there also is a role for you to play! Bring your expertise or become a founding member. Get informed and involved.
People from more than 70 countries have joined the Cooperative as founding members including many of the top Permaculture designers and trainers in the world. Rhamis Kent, Ben Falk, Jillian Hovey, Daniel Halsey, Albert Bates, Paul Cohen, May East, Mark Shepard, and many others already have pledged their support. We have also been joined by some of the leaders of Commonland.
About the Camps
The first camp will be set up in Andalusia in Spain. The plan is that we create a showcase at the first camp to show what can be done this way. The Permaculture Research Institute (PRI) and the World Permaculture Association (WPA) have agreed to hold continuous training in the camp. Regeneration International (RI) has agreed to broadly publicize and support the Cooperative and the Camps worldwide. There are requests for camps in many parts of the world already and there will be many more. Some members have begun to collect these requests. If you know a spot suited for a camp, please let us know using the website

The English language has, I suspect, always been a mishmash of made up, stolen, and ever-changing words. We've incorporated everything from the Spanish vigilanteword to the German word wanderlust, seen William Shakespeare invent over 1700 of our commonly used words (impede, frugal, submerge, just to name a few), and seen the meanings of words change drastically (used to mean exactly 10,000, and awful used to be something "worthy of awe").
And now myth commonly believed to refer solely to a "false belief or idea".
However, for academics like C.S. Lewis, and his peers, such as J.R.R. Tolkien, the idea of myth and mythology was only tangentially related to falsehood. Thankfully, the Oxford English Dictionary still keeps their number one definition as something both Lewis and Tolkien would have understood:
A traditional story, especially one concerning the early history of a people or explaining a natural or social phenomenon, and typically involving supernatural beings or events
This quick journey down English etymology-lane is a necessary introduction to discussing Alister E. McGrath's third essay, "A Gleam of Divine Truth: The Concept of Myth in Lewis's Thought", and the investigation of C.S. Lewis's view of the Gospel as "true myth" – for we can not for even a moment allow the thought to occur that Lewis considered the Gospel to be false – he most assuredly did not, and repeatedly ensures that this is clear. As McGrath writes in conclusion:
Lewis's musings on myth have alarmed some of his less literate admirers, just as they have riled his less literate critics, who both misunderstood his language, believing it to imply the factual falsity of the Christian faith. (74)
As McGrath continues, "we must therefore allow Lewis to define the term "myth" for us" (74). But even Lewis had to travel a distance before "myth" meant something more than untruth – "even Lewis used the word "myth" … to mean a fabricated untruth" (55). Thus begins McGrath's wonderful exploration of the various threads which were not only to bring Lewis to his own specific definition of "myth", but simultaneously the man's discovery of a personal faith in God. This was no simple journey, and relied heavily on the intellectual side of Lewis being able to work through the many questions and issues he faced. Similarly, the impact of friends and mentors such as Arthur Greeves and J.R.R. Tolkien are vital to helping Lewis transcend his inherent doubts about Christianity: Lewis's "rationalism led him to deny what reason could not affirm; yet [Lewis's] imagination cried out for something deeper and more satisfying than the thin view of reality that this same rationalism offered." (55)
Thankfully for Lewis, and all those who have since benefited from his writings, the key to his belief came through myth, and Lewis's education landed him at Oxford University, an institution that was "the centre of intensive reflection on the nature of myth in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century." (58) Also in attendance at Oxford was "the Oxford scholar who arguably had the greatest impact on the academic discussion of the literary significance of myth", one J.R.R. Tolkien, who saw myth as a story which evoked a sense of the "numinous". Lewis would soon come to discern that this sense of the numinous was a vital tool for understanding the Gospel, for as he wrote in a late essay, "Myths have the capacity to inspire awe on the account of their numinous qualities." (62)
For Lewis, in the early 1930s, a lifelong desire for "something more" came to a head in conversations with Hugo Dyson and J.R.R. Tolkien, when a conversation held in September of 1931 broke down "the final barrier between Lewis and Christian faith." (62) McGrath explains that Lewis was able to see Christianity not as "a set of doctrines or moral principles, but a controlling grand narrative – a myth in the true sense of the term". (62) In other words, "the story of Christ is thus to be understood as "God's myth" where the great pagan narratives are "men's myths." (62) Tolkien, specifically, helped Lewis see that the Gospel interacts with both our hearts and our minds in a way that simple fact cannot, and only myth can.
Using Lewis's own words from across the vast spectrum of his written work, as well as biographical detail and a solid understanding of mythology, Alister McGrath provides an in-depth and captivating explanation of C.S. Lewis's view of the Gospel as a "true myth", and the way that such myth can convey reality. The culmination of Lewis's view of myth may not be agreed upon by all, but its three conclusions (as described by McGrath) should definitely be considered necessary reading to all who want to understand the ways in which the Gospel can be read.

A 'swing toward buyers'? San Diego resale home prices slow
Existing home prices in September for the San Diego metropolitan area increased 4 percent in a year, the lowest in the West, said the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Indices released Tuesday.
Among the 20 areas covered by the index, San Diego's increase was the fourth lowest and below the national increase of 5.5 percent. The last time San Diego's annual growth was lower was August 2012.
Price increases throughout the nation have slowed in recent months, with analysts mainly attributing declines to rising mortgage interest rates. Sixteen of the 20 areas studied showed smaller annual price gains.
The indices evaluate home prices by more than just price, tracking repeat sales of identical single-family houses as they turn over through the years. It is a favorite of economists, who use it to get a more complete view of the market instead of just the median home price.
Cheryl Young, senior economist at Trulia, said San Diego had been increasing above the national average for years and outpacing wages. She said it would have been tough to maintain that price growth and it's important to remember the region's costs are still above much of the nation.
"Prices are still really high," she said of the San Diego market. "It is healthier when you have price growth that is more manageable. When you look at 4 percent year-over-year price growth, that's more in line with wage growth."
Young said in addition to rising mortgage rates, she thought buyers were also sensing weakness in the market and possibly holding off on jumping on anything — like they were a few months ago.
The median price of a resale single-family home in San Diego County was $615,000 in September, CoreLogic said. At the end of September last year, the interest rate for a 30-year, fixed-rate loan was 3.97 percent, said Mortgage News Daily. It was 4.78 percent at the end of this September.
That means the monthly cost for a resale home has increased in a year by $294 a month.
Las Vegas had the highest annual price gains in the nation at 13.5 percent. It was followed by San Francisco at 9.9 percent and Seattle at 8.4 percent. The lowest price gains were New York City at 2.6 percent and Washington, D.C., at 2.9 percent.
Los Angeles metro area annual home prices increased 5.5 percent, also a reduction from major price gains in the past few years.
Aaron Terrazas, senior economist at Zillow, wrote in an email that the home market was becoming more balanced among buyers and sellers.
"There are already signs the market is beginning to swing toward buyers," he wrote. "Inventory is up after almost four years of uninterrupted declines, especially in formerly red-hot and pricey West Coast markets, and price cuts are becoming more frequent."
Trulia research showed the San Diego metropolitan area had the most price reductions — 20.5 percent — of the 100 biggest metro areas in the United States so far this year (as of October). It tied with Tampa, which also saw 20.5 percent of homes with a price cut.

Nottingham Forest defender Yohan Benalouane says The Reds must bounce back quickly from Saturday's 2-0 loss at Stoke City.
The Tunisian was frustrated with the manner of Forest's defeat at the bet365 Stadium but insists they must recover quickly ahead of another vital game against Hull City at The City Ground next weekend.
Speaking after the game, he said: "It's a disappointing result but we have to keep going. We'll get back into training and work on the errors we made today and then think about the next game against Hull because it is important and we need the three points.
"It was difficult with the wind but the pitch was beautiful so I think if we'd kept the ball on the floor then it would have been easier. They were tough conditions to play it but they were okay, it is not an excuse for us.
"Every game is a battle and today was another true battle. Our focus now has to be on the Hull game and picking up three points at home again. We always take one game at a time and our concentration is now on that game.
"I don't think the Derby game affected our performance today. Once that game was finished, it was finished so we came here focused on getting another three points but unfortunately we couldn't and that's football."

text: Careers Open-source software gives varsity e-learning edge @itworldca Published: September 4th, 2006COMMENT ON THIS ARTICLECost and flexibility were key considerations when a British Columbia university chose open-source software to upgrade its electronic learning system and enable more than 1,800 students to take advantage of new developments in online communication.Faculty and IT staff of the Royal Roads University (RRU) in Victoria, BC said they considered proprietary software but found Moodle(Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment) a perfect fit for their e-learning environment.According to Carrie Spencer, CIO of Royal Roads University, a large developer community would be beneficial in building applications for their curriculum. "Moodle is the system of choice because it has a robust and enthusiastic developer community.""It's an opportunity for RRU to be part of a larger university community," said Dr. Steve Grundy, acting vice-president of RRU. "We can reap the benefits of other developers' research and they can benefit from our innovations."A Canadian technology analyst pointed out that RRU's strategy has been gaining traction with a greater number of educational institutions lately."E-learning has become a very crucial part of delivering education today," according to Dave Marks, consulting director of IDC Canada Inc. in Toronto.Marks said open-source software offers several key advantages over proprietary licensed-based products."The Moodle model wins out in terms of ease of deployment, lack of licensing fees, availability of applications and shorter learning curve," he said.Moodle is a free software package designed to help educators create effective online learning communities. It can be downloaded into any computer, yet it can scale from a single-teacher site to a 50,000-student university.To date, Moodle has a community of more than 100,000 users, speaking over 70 languages in over 150 countries.Soon after it was founded in 1995, the RRU was among the first institutions to deploy an online-based learning program. Using in-house applications, the university offered students from across Canada and around the world, degree programs through a combination of online learning courses and short residencies.Although very successfully used for several years, the in-house learning system needed significant upgrades to incorporate simpler communication tools that allow faculty members to develop and maintain their own courses.The university's original system was also hampered by limited functionality in handling newer applications.Spencer said RRU also researched proprietary learning systems but found out the open-source model was cheaper and offered better agility and incorporating new developments. "There was no up-front licensing costs attached to Moodle and access to the development community allows RRU to be at the forefront of technology.""With Moodle we can enhance our capability in managing wikis, blogs, whiteboards and file sharing," said Spencer. Enabling faculty to develop their own course materials was also another important factor in Moodle's favour."We needed to improve the faculty's hands-on ability in developing the curriculum environment," said Tracy Roberts, RRU instructional designer.Roberts said prior to using Moodle, faculty members developed their course materials using Microsoft Office and handed it over to the IT staff for "translation" into the system. "With Moodle's intuitive user interface, faculty members familiar with word processing products can create their own curriculum environments."The deployment last year of Moodle, is part of RRU's three-year IT project to integrate the university's student registry, financial system and learning systems. The education part of the project is expected to account for 22 per cent the $4.2 million budget.IDC Canada's Marks sees open-source e-learning empowering students to participate and collaborate with a wider range of individuals. "E-learning is not just reading a book online . It's collaborating with peers who can be halfway across the globe.""The system will not dilute the role of the teacher, but it will enable students become their own teachers and become participants rather than mere recipients of education," he said.QuickLink 065651COMMENT ON THIS ARTICLE Careers developer community, Technology

For some reason, my customers are not receiving the digital file attachment after purchase. Upon checking on their order in Shopify, I see there is note stating, "This order has no digital attachments" despite me confirming that the file is attached to the product in the settings for download. I am having to send URLs manually. However, when I create an order manually, the details do indicate there is a file attached and the file is sent automatically with an email sent.
