Shoppers at the two Dollar Tree stores in Berkeley will no longer find sodas and sugary drinks on theirshelves following the passage of the soda tax last November.
In the Dollar Tree discount store on 2440 Shattuck Ave., the refrigerators once full of soda bottles are now stocked with water. The other Dollar Tree store in Berkeley, on 1284 San Pablo Ave., has also removed its sugary drinks.
Dollar Tree which sells a variety of products for $1 or less and has more than 5,200 stores in North America decided to pull out sodas in its Berkeley storeswhen the soda tax went into effect on Jan. 1, according to Randy Guiler, vice president of investor relations.

Due to the increased cost from the Berkeley sugary drinks and soda tax, we are no longer able to carry sugary drinks and soda at the one-dollar price point, Guiler said.
But visitors to Dollar Tree stores can still get a sugar fix of sorts. The store carries fruit juice, which is not subject to the one cent per ounce tax.
Berkeley became the first city in the United States to pass a soda tax last November. Measure D, which drew national attention and supportive donors like former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, passed overwhelmingly with 76% of the votes despite heavy opposition lobbying from the beverage industry.
BerkeleyCouncilman Laurie Capitelli, whohas been a main proponent of Measure D,was relieved to see the Dollar Tree stores replacing its soda selections with water bottles.
Im actually thrilled, Capitelli said. Im hoping other businesses will follow suit, and I hope they replace it with water bottles.

REGINA Think Morocco the bright reds and blues of Moroccan tile work, the vivid greens and yellows in a spice market, the sandy colours of the Sahara Desert, the pinks and oranges of an exotic garden in bloom, and the golds and bronzes of a desert sunset.
In its 2015 spring/summer collection, unveiled Monday, Regina-based luxury jewelry design company Hillberg & Berk (H & B) pays homage to the Kingdom of Morocco.
Its a little bit of a throwback to when Morocco was the hub for artists and celebrities and that jet-set, fast-paced lifestyle that the people who inhabited that area at the time were feeling, explained Rachel Mielke, who founded Hillberg & Berk in 2007.
So theres a lot of really beautiful, glamorous, glitzy pieces in the collection. But they do also have an esthetic thats a little bit more reminiscent of Morocco.
The geometric shapes of some of the jewelry pieces are similar to some of the tile work you might see in Morocco, she said.
There are approximately 150 pieces in H & Bs spring/summer collection, ranging in price from $65 to $1,295.
This collection brings back some the really beautiful gemstones that Hillberg and Berk is known for, Mielke said. For the past few collections, weve seen a lot of Swarovski (crystal) pieces I think our customers will be happy to see some of these great gemstone pieces again in this collection.
The new collection showcases rose quartz, amethyst, turquoise, jasper, crystal quartz and rutilated quartz.
Some of the groupings are designed so pieces can be easily layered together. As well, statement pieces are included.
The spring/summer collection also features bridal pieces, including pearl designs, as well as non-traditional bridal necklaces with delicate agate fringe, for example.

The new Rockwell BladeRunner X2 is a benchtop saw that can cut nearly everything in its path, including wood, PVC, plastic, aluminum and other non-ferrous metals, plus ceramic tile by using standard T-shank jigsaw blades. It takes the place of a hand saw, hack saw and miter box by making quick and accurate rip, scroll, cross, inside and miter cuts.
BladeRunner X2 is great for home workshops, garage-based shops and basements. Make quick, accurate and easy miter saw cuts in wood for molding and trim, picture frames or signs. Make intricate inside cuts where precision counts. Cut ceramic tile for kitchen back splashes or insets for bathroom/shower tile work.
Winter is the ideal time of the year for project building and creating craft projects indoors. BladeRunner X2, unlike a conventional table saw, can handle a variety of projects by simply changing blades. Its also affordable, compact and weighs less than 15 lbs. The saw has a low profile of 6 in.H, which when mounted to a workbench or table top, is a comfortable working height. The saws tabletop measures 17 in.W x 15-3/4 in.D.
Its a great economical saw for hobbyists and do-it-yourselfers who dont have the room or budget for a conventional table saw, said Brian Renner, Rockwells Product Manager. Plus, theres not a big learning curve in working with BladeRunner. It sets up in seconds and is ready to go.
What distinguishes BladeRunner X2 from other benchtop saws is its blade. Instead of a saw blade, it uses standard 4 in., T-shanked jigsaw blades, which are widely available through hardware stores and home centers. Changing blades is a snap. Simply press down and slide the blade release lever on the left of the saw to seat or release the blade. Blade guide rollers ensure 90 cutting at all times.
The BladeRunner X2s control arm assembly sits at the back of the table- top to accommodate longer and wider workpieces for ripping and crosscutting. It flips out of the way when making interior cuts. The blade guard assembly also incorporates a splitter, which helps keep straight cuts on track. The saws hold-down arm is adjustable and can be raised or lowered to match the thickness of the workpiece. It holds the workpiece against the tabletop to minimize vibration while cutting.
The BladeRunners fence has two adjustable knobs to help align workpieces for straight and accurate cuts. The tabletop has a channel for the fence with two measurement scales, one in the in the front and the other in the rear of the saw. By using the measurement scales to align the fence to the desired cutting width, the user is assured of an accurate cut.
The innovative 3000 spm saw is powered by a 5.5-amp motor. Its cutting capacity is 1 in. in wood; 1 in. in PVC; 3/8 in. in aluminum and ceramic tile, and 1/8 in. in mild steel. The blade stroke is 3/4 in.
The BladeRunners X2 base is impact resistant and constructed for durability. Its supported by four, non-marring rubber feet. The body of the saw features dedicated miter gauge and rip fence storage.

BAGHDAD (Tribune News Service) There was blood on the white tile floor, on the eight metal gurneys and on the hands of the worker using coarse black thread to sew up an autopsy incision on the latest body to arrive at the moldering central morgue.
A sour smell of blood filled the air as the man worked, a black apron draped across his blue scrubs, rubber boots shielding his feet. The woman had died of natural causes, he said. A doctor sent the body here for an autopsy just in case the death proved suspicious. (It didn't.)
Outside, four more corpses awaited autopsies: two splayed naked on gurneys, a third in a black body bag on the ground, and a fourth wrapped in a fuzzy flowered blanket with a trail of bloodstains from a bullet wound to the neck. More bagged bodies were piled nearby in a makeshift freezer.
Ten doctors and eight additional staff members are assigned to the central morgue. But that's barely enough, employees said, even though the workload is much lighter than during the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 and the height of Iraqi sectarian warfare four years later.
"The problem is not so much a shortage of doctors. It's a shortage of people willing to do the work," said the morgue worker, an Egyptian immigrant who asked to be identified only as Dr. Adil. "People don't really have the courage for it."
As in much of the world, there is only a small segment of the population willing to work with the dead. And there is also the risk of disease and, in Iraq, the danger of upsetting families who prefer Muslim Iraqi doctors, now in short supply.
Adil said he handles about five cases a day, half the daily total. That is a relatively light load, less than a tenth of the daily total in 2007. But the small staff is still strapped, forced to work quickly with little attention to detail, he said.
Adil has labored here for 18 years but, like many foreign staffers, does not have a full-time contract. Whereas doctors are paid $4,000 a month, he and other immigrant employees get about $210. They are deemed temporary workers, regardless of their length of service.
Temporary staff members can be appointed as permanent employees, he said. "We're hoping with the budget now they'll be appointing more," he said, as another worker wheeled in the body in the flowered blanket, probably a victim of sectarian violence.
Dr. Taha Qasim, head of administration for forensic medicine at the morgue, said the facility has been called upon to do more with fewer staff members, leading to delays.
