(KOIN) — A Mini Cooper and a semi-truck collided in Southwest Portland Tuesday afternoon, flipping part of the semi and sending the Mini Cooper into an apartment building.

The semi-truck spilled grain all over the area of SW Market Street and SW 13th Avenue, and the Mini Cooper made contact with the Peter Paulson Apartments. Power lines in the area were also downed.

The driver of the semi was seen walking around. There is no word at this time about whoever was in the Mini Cooper.

Philadelphia Abortionist Charged for Killing 7 Babies After They Were Born

John McCormack

Dr. Kermit Gosnell, 69, made millions of dollars over 30 years, performing as many illegal, late-term abortions as he could, prosecutors said. State regulators ignored complaints about him and failed to inspect his clinic since 1993, but no charges were warranted against them given time limits and existing law, District Attorney Seth Williams said. Nine of Gosnell's employees also were charged.

Gosnell "induced labor, forced the live birth of viable babies in the sixth, seventh, eighth month of pregnancy and then killed those babies by cutting into the back of the neck with scissors and severing their spinal cord," Williams said. [...]

Bags and bottles holding aborted fetuses "were scattered throughout the building," Williams said. "There were jars, liningthe health of the mother. Now, I don't think that 'mental distress' qualifies as the health of the mother."

But as legal correspondent Jan Crawford explained, Obama's statement was fundamentally at odds with the Court's rulings:

there's no mistaking that Obama says he no longer will support what's long been a cornerstone of the abortion rights debate: The Court's insistence that laws banning abortions after the fetus is viable (now about 22 weeks) contain an exception to allow doctors to perform them if necessary to protect a pregnant woman's mental health.

Crawford noted that Obama then backtracked and said he supported a "rigorously" limited mental health exception, but he further misstated the law:

Speaking to reporters on his campaign plane, Obama said mental health exceptions-which are a real battleground issue in the

If you've been around the PHP community (or language) for any amount of time, you've noticed that the mascot for the language is an elephant. Back in the mid-2000s this mascot made a move into the real world and the first blue elePHPants were released as plush toys. Since then several different groups and companies have produced their own versions with their own colors and logos. There's several of them out there and the Field Guide to ElePHPants site lists them all.

The PHP elephpant, Elephpas hypertextus, was first sketched by Vincent Pontier in 1998. For ten years it was only seen in drawings. The plush elephpant was first sighted in 2007. Since that time a large number of variationshave been observed in the wild.

The site covers fun facts about their overall appearance, identification of the generations, their "natural habitat" and how they're distributed. They then list each of the elePHPants including pictures, talking about the origins of each and several that are "coming soon" from other groups/conferences. Some of the elePHPants are more rare than others (like the Gold of which only one was produced) but more and more are coming on the scene all the time, usually as a part of Kickstarter campaigns.

The Symfony project has joined the ranks of several other groups in the PHP community and has created their own elePHPant, a Symfony branded version of the plush toy modeled after PHP's elephant mascot.

Conference after conference, we get endless requests from people longing

Peter Meth and Chris Hartjes, organizers of the popular Canadian PHP conference True North PHP have created a kickstarter for the latest generation of ehePHPants they hope can join the family - the woolly mammoth (complete with tusks and a nice fuzzy coat).

There's no arguing that people in the PHP community love their elephpants. The announcement of a new elephpant being available in a new colour sends people reaching for their wallets or using their network of connections to try and get one (or often more) forISLAMABAD (Reuters) – A senior Pakistani intelligence official said one of Osama bin Laden's daughters had seen her father being shot dead by U.S. forces, and was one of about 10 relatives of the al Qaeda leader in custody pending interrogation.

The official, who declined to be identified, said the daughter, aged 12 or 13, was one of the people who had confirmed that the mastermind of the September 11, 2001 attacks had been killed by U.S. commandos in a raid early on Monday.

The relatives -- one of bin Laden's wives and up to eight children -- will be interrogated and then probably turned over to their countries of origin, and not the United States, in accordance with Pakistani law, he said.

The official said the wife and children were


left behind after an American transport helicopter, possibly an MH-60 Sea Hawk, was abandoned because of mechanical problems.

He said there was not enough room for the group on the other helicopters, which were transporting bin Laden's body, other male captives and the commandos.

A small U.S. strike team dropped by helicopter to bin Laden's hide-out in Abbottabad, near the Pakistani capital Islamabad, and shot him dead.

The revelation bin Laden had been holed up in a compound in the military garrison town for years has threatened to worsen U.S. ties with nuclear-armed Pakistan, and raised questions over how the al Qaeda leader could live in comfort near Islamabad.

The Pakistani intelligence official acknowledged bin Laden's whereabouts may cause problems with the United States, and also embarrass Pakistan.

"It looks bad," he said."It makes us look like a fool or an idiot. It's pretty embarrassing."

But, he added, the CIA had not had any luck finding bin Laden for 10 years either. "Had we known where he was, we would have gotten him ourselves," the official said.

The White House counterterrorism chief said on Tuesday there was no evidence Pakistani officials knew bin Laden was living at a compound deep inside the country, but the United States was also not ruling out the possibility.

Echoing President Asif Ali Zardari, the Pakistani official said the United States had acted alone in killing bin Laden, and that it had not asked for permission to enter Pakistani airspace.

"There is every possibility that what radars were there (in Abbottabad) were jammed," the official said, adding that up


to 40 commandos had attacked the bin Laden compound.

But he said it was possible that some of the U.S. aircraft used in the raid had come from the Pakistani air base of Ghazi, just 54 km (33 miles) away from Abbottabad, while the transport helicopters possibly came from Afghanistan.

Ghazi was used by the United States for humanitarian relief operations after the floods of 2010.

Copyright 2011 Thomson Reuters. Click for Restrictions.Police in Russia have arrested more than 40 people, including three global gay rights leaders, after violence broke out at an unauthorised rally of gay rights activists in the capital, Moscow.

The fighting started when participants of the march were attacked as they were trying to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier near the Kremlin.

Some of the attackers said they were members of the Russian-Orthodox church.

Russian gay rights activists were joined by campaigners from America and Europe in what has become an annual event.

Each year the authorities have refused the organisers permission and each year there have been arrests and violence.

Some gay rights activists were carrying banners reading "Russia is not Iran", others were waiving rainbow flags.

British gay rights activist, Peter Tatchell, says the mayor


is behaving like a Nazi.

"This ban on Moscow gay pride is particularly shocking because during the Second World War, Muscovites stood against the Nazis who sought to exterminate Jews, homosexuals and communists," he said.

"But now the mayor of Moscow is colluding with neo-Nazis."

Britain's veteran gay rights leader Peter Tatchell says he saw three police buses parked outside the Moscow mayor's office "which were packed with people who looked like skinheads and neo-Nazis".

"Our suspicion is that they were police officers in civilian clothes. We suspect that a sizeable portion of the neo-Nazis were actually undercover police officers," he said.

One anti-gay campaigner said God had burned down Sodom and Gomorrah and would burn down Moscow too if gay rights marches were allowed.

Less than an hour from San Francisco, the city retained its rural flavor as an agricultural and ranching community until the surplus naval base was transformed into the internationally acclaimed Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in 1952. A few years later, the city welcomed Sandia National Laboratory, which spurred a flood of new residents and high-tech businesses.

Abdallah Bin Sa’id Al-bishi: I was at school, and an execution was set for my father in Mecca. It was to take place in front of the King Abd Al-‘Aziz Gate. Before all that happened at the Al-Haram Mosque the executions were held there. We showed up. I was a little boy.

The first thing that came to my mind, when people talked about executions, was the digestive system. I wanted to see it. At that time, we had an exam at school on the digestive system, and we had to explain aboutsome time. Geological records suggest that the volcano historically erupts a couple of times per century, with the last one occurring back in 1910. But Bárðarbunga is possibly connected to other volcanoes in the vicinity that have been more active recently — nearby Grímsvötn erupted in 2011.

(By the way, if you're wondering how to pronounce "Bárðarbunga," there's a helpful video guide here — and best of luck to you.)

Now there's a possibility Bárðarbunga could erupt in the near future. On August 16 and August 17, Icelandic scientists detected a pair of earthquake swarms in and around the volcano. Since then, some 3,000 earthquakes have been recorded — a sign that magma is shifting around beneath the surface:

The Icelandic Meteorological Office has declared an "orange" alert for Bárðarbunga— that


is, "Volcano shows heightened or escalating unrest with increased potential of eruption." What's more, on August 20, authorities evacuated an uninhabited area around the island.

An Eruption's not yet a certainty

Still, an eruption's not yet a certainty. The IMO is insisting that they haven't yet seen any sign that magma is moving toward the surface. So far, all the activity has remained 3 to 7 miles underground — that is, the magma still appears to be moving horizontally. The agency is continuing to monitor the situation.

[Update: On August 21, the IMO offered an updated assessment: "There are no measurements to suggest that an eruption is imminent. Previous intrusion events in Iceland have lasted for several days or weeks, often not resulting in an eruption."

Jonathan Cravens, 27, was arrested in early October after police investigators determined it was his neglect of the child that led to the death on Aug. 19. During the investigation, officers learned Cravens — who took care of Alex Hubbard while the boy’s mother worked — walked from the Knob Creek Road apartment they shared to the mall to get his glasses repaired.

Cravens first told police he pushed the child in a stroller to the mall, but surveillance footage proved him wrong. The child was not seen on any footage in which Cravens appeared, police said.

Investigator Joey Whitlock testified Wednesday that Cravens


stayed with his initial story even after officers saw him on mall video alone. Eventually Cravens told police he left the boy in his crib in an upstairs bedroom and returned from the mall within 15 minutes.

Cravens told police he checked on the boy when he returned, then went downstairs. After a while, he realized he hadn’t heard anything from the child and went to check again. That’s when he found the boy unresponsive and called 911.

Washington County/Johnson City EMS paramedic William Timbs testified that when he arrived he found the child on the floor unresponsive and Cravens performing CPR. The boy had saliva around his mouth from the CPR and a dark material on his chin, which he was told was Oreo cookie, Timbs testified.

The royal newlyweds, Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, made their first public appearance Tuesday since their Saturday wedding. They attended a Buckingham Palace garden party honoring Harry's father, Prince Charles, for his many years of charitable works.

The long spell of sunny weather that gave their Saturday wedding a special glow continued Tuesday at the outdoor occasion.

More than 6,000 people involved with charities supported by Charles are also attending the party in the vast palace gardens.

In his speech, Prince Harry opened with a moment of remembrance for the Manchester attack victims before fondly paying tribute to his father's "infectious" energy and enthusiasm for his charity work, BBC News reports.

"It has certainly inspired William and I to get involved in issues we care passionately about and to do whatever we can to make a difference," he said.

He added: "Pa, while I know that you've asked that today not be about you, you must forgive me if I don't listen to you -- much like when


I was younger -- and instead, I ask everyone here to say a huge thank you to you, for your incredible work over nearly 50 years."

The Duchess of Sussex's dusky pink dress is from British fashion brand Goat, a favorite of her sister-in-law, the Duchess of Cambridge, according to BBC News. Meghan's hat was made by London-based milliner Philip Treacy, who is also popular among the royal family. Harry wore a morning suit and silk top hat.

Man nabbed in Mexico to face securities fraud charges in Alberta

A man accused of securities fraud by the Alberta Securities Commission in 2014 has been arrested in Mexico and returned to Canada to face the charges.

Kenneth Charles Fowler and another man, Douglas Wayne Schneider, were charged in January 2014 with fraud and other securities offences in the Provincial Court of Alberta. The men were accused in connection with the sale of The Investment Exchange Mortgage Corporation (TIE) securities.

“Based on information provided by the ASC, on Jan. 13, 2016, Fowler was arrested by Mexican immigration authorities as he was illegally residing in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico,” the ASCsaid in a statement Monday.

The Canadian regulator said members of the public came forward with information “that allowed the ASC to confirm Fowler’s location.”

He was deported to Vancouver, where he was arrested on Jan. 14, according to the ASC. He is to be transported to Calgary this week to face a bail hearing.

Fowler was extradited from California in June 2014, in what was acknowledged at the time as an usual move for a Canadian regulator.

He pled guilty a year later to making misleading statements, trading in securities without registration, and trading in distributions of securities without a prospectus. Fowler was sentenced to one year in jail, with credit given for time already served, for his role in TIE Mortgage.

A 38-year old woman drowned in Albania after she was swept away from her home by floodwaters near Pogradec, police said Friday. Some 600 families have been evacuated in four southern districts in Albania after flooding covered more than 42,000 acres and killed about 3,500 sheep and cattle there, authorities said. Torrential rains in eastern and southern parts of Macedonia have flooded more than 12,000 acres and hundreds of houses since the beginning of this week.

2Deadly raid: President Benigno Aquino IIIaccepted the resignation of the Philippines’ national police chief Friday, two weeks after a disastrous raid left 44 police commandos dead and put the country’s peace agreement with Islamic rebels in jeopardy. Aquino has faced searing criticism, including calls for his impeachment and resignation, since the raid, which the police say killed a top terrorism suspect. The dead police officers have been hailed as national heroes, and many Filipinos have criticized Aquino as not showing empathy and not taking responsibility for the officers’ deaths.

5Illegal spying:Thriller as Lloyd Scores Late Equalizer Against Brazil

A late goal from Carli Lloyd allowed the U.S. WNT to escape from Seattle with a 1-1 comeback draw against Brazil as the World Cup Victory Tour rolled on.

A record Washington State (women’s game) crowd came out to celebrate the American Women’s World Cup victory and to say a final farewell to longtime U.S. great Shannon Boxx, but they soon found out that Brazil had no interest in playing the Washington Generals role (vs the Globetrotters) and had come to the Emerald City looking for a win.

The game was preceded by a nice tribute to Boxx, who would start in the final game of her wonderful career, breaking out her married


name, Speakman, for the occasion.

Other than Boxx, U.S. coach Jill Ellis fielded a first choice type lineup against Brazil, still the visitors wasted little time in taking the lead. Monica finished from a corner kick in the third minute, quickly putting the United States remarkable home streak without a loss on the line.

There were of course 87 minutes left for the U.S. to equalize and more, but Brazil proved very difficult to break down, displaying defensive discipline, while controlling much of the possession.

The crowd seemed energized to be witnessing a genuinely competitive match against a quality team, preferring Marta and her talented teammates to the likes of a young, wildly overmatched team like Haiti from earlier in the Tour.

U.S.coach Jill Ellis managed this match with an eye on the past by starting Boxx, the present by playing her regulars and the future by starting Crystal Dunn and introducing Samantha Mewis and Jaelene Hinkle as substitutes.

With four previous caps to her name Mewis was the veteran of the two, and both she and Hinkle, making her full national team debut, looked very much at home amid all the World Cup winners.

Ellis also left Abby Wambach on the bench and with fellow vet Christie Rampone unavailable with a slight knock, the future would seem to be rapidly overtaking the past in Ellis’ eyes.

The U.S. equalizer eventually came in the 85th minute, from Carli Lloyd, and you had to wonder if it was preordained.

Daily Mail and Reuters

Oslo

The mother of Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik was already terrified of her son when he was just four years old, it has emerged.

The Oslo trial of the 33-year-old killer of 77 heard how the “hyperactive and aggressive” boy was incapable of feeling joy or pleasure.

It was also revealed that he would laugh in his mother’s face when she tried to impose limits.

Wenche Breivik called in social workers who wanted to remove the disturbed boy


and put him in a foster home to prevent further psychological disintegration.

SCARED MOM: Wenche Breivik feared her child..

She was still terrified 23 years later when, on moving back into her home in 2006, he would sit on top of her on the sofa and try to kiss her face.

In a statement to police read out to the court, Wenche said: “I felt like I was in prison with him.

“He was uncomfortably intense.

“He started saying I was a Marxist and a feminist. From 2010 he became really strange.”

Wenche also described how her “kind and caring” son transformed into an out-of-control obsessive who wore a face mask and talked of a war against Muslims, a psychiatrist told the court yesterday.

Psychiatrist Torgeir Husby read out quotes from an interview he didwith Wenche – the first time her words had been heard during Breivik’s trial.

“I thought that he was turning completely crazy, I thought there must be something wrong with his head,” read Husby as Breivik looked on.

The court had earlier heard that Breivik had behavioural problems as a child, and a psychiatrist had recommended that he be removed from his family at the age of four.

He was kept under observation at home and Wenche told Husby that her son soon got over his early problems.

“He was a good student (before high school), had friends… He was so kind, always thought of me and helped with everything possible. He was outstanding… He was incredibly kind and caring,” Husby read out.

Things started deteriorating when Breivik moved back in with his


mother in 2006 after some business ventures failed, said Wenche, who refused to appear at the hearing. “We had had so much fun together, then it became just politics. He would speak of an impending civil war.

“He spoke loudly and intensely even as I tried to avoid those topics,” she said.

She said

Breivik started going to the gym, playing computer games in his room and became paranoid about cleanliness. The transcript did not include any explanation on what had caused the transformation.

“He accused me of being in contact with too many people who could infect us. He ate food in his room, then put the dishes by the door. He walked with his hands over his face and for a while he used a face mask.

“One time he kissedconcluded that he was psychotic while a second group of experts came to an opposing conclusion, leaving the five judges to decide.

A week before the attacks, Breivik told his mother that he felt ugly and wanted to have a facelift.

During a day of evidence from the pair of psychiatrists who last November said Breivik was insane, the court also heard how the mass murderer had a string of girlfriends until he reached 22.

But since then he had not had sexual contact with either men or women, they said.

“Since being ordained as a knight my body has a temple,” Breivik told the psychiatrists.

And when passenger planes did reappear in the skies, how they seemed more like potential weapons than transportation.

"Even though it's 12 years after, it's still scary. It's like it was yesterday,'' said Deanna Rivera, 35, behind the counter at the airport's Dunkin' Donuts. "I was home watching it on TV, and now I'm working at an airport.''

A woman on my flight, Shirley Roberts of Rochester, said she wasn't worried. Hadn't thought about it, she said.

"Trust in the Lord first, and just fly!'' she told me. "There's no time for fright. Everything is in His hands.'' She quoted Psalm 37 and then said she was a pastor. We both smiled.

Once on board, the mood on United Flight 3449, run by Shuttle America, was somber. There was none of theflight attendant patter that sometimes makes you roll your eyes. The only anxious moment came when a German passenger across from me got up to let a young woman in the shortest shorts possible sit by the window. He caught his feet in the shoulder bag under his seat and went flying headfirst down the aisle. Nervous laughter and relief filled the cabin.

My traveling companion showed me an e-mail he got from a friend, Lorraine Koerner, 43, a regional manager for Tommy Hilfiger, who was about to board a flight at a "scary quiet'' George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston for Los Angeles: "I thought, 'surely nothing will happen,' but it was all the people on the radio were talking about. I had to change to a CD."

The heart is the center of a person's circulatory system. The left portions of the heart draw oxygenated blood from the lungs and pump it to the organs of the body to provide the organs with their metabolic needs for oxygen. The right portions of the heart draw deoxygenated blood from the body organs and pump it to the lungs where the blood gets oxygenated. These pumping functions are accomplished by cyclic contractions of the myocardium (heart muscles). Each cycle, known as the cardiac cycle, includes systole and diastole. During systole, the heart ejects blood. During diastole, the heart is filled with blood for the next ejection (systolic) phase, and the myocardial tissue is perfused. In a normal heart, the sinoatrial node generates electrical impulses called action potentials.of the autonomic nervous system. For example, the myocardium is innervated with sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves. Activities in these nerves modulate the heart rate and contractility (strength of the myocardial contractions). Stimulation applied to the sympathetic nerves is known to increase the heart rate and the contractility, shortening the systolic phase of a cardiac cycle, and lengthening the diastolic phase of the cardiac cycle. Stimulation applied to the parasympathetic nerves is known to have essentially the opposite effects.
It has been proposed to stimulate the autonomic nerves to treat abnormal cardiac conditions, such as to control myocardial remodeling and to prevent arrhythmias following myocardial infarction. During heart failure, reduced autonomic balance (increase in sympathetic and decrease in parasympathetic cardiac tone) has been shown to be associated with left ventricular

South Dakota Public Broadcasting reports Cooper had a 43-11 record at Heelan High School in Sioux City before going to USD in 1975.

He coached the 1978 Coyotes to the school’s first North Central Conference championship in 27 years.

Cooper stepped down after that season to serve full time as athletic director before serving in that capacity at Indiana State University.

“We lost a great Coyote this weekend in Beanie Cooper,” said David Herbster. “Beanie was part of a transformational time at USD and his legacy will live on here in the players he coached and the lives he touched.”Police are looking for a man who sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl Monday evening in the Little Village neighborhood on the Southwest Side.

The man grabbed the girl about 6:15 p.m. in the 2600 block of South Tripp and forced her into a light blue minivan with tinted rear windows, according to a community alert from Chicago Police. He drove the van into an alley and sexually assaulted the girl inside the van.

Between the Lines: Sarno Defies Fenton

Between the Lines: Sarno Defies Fenton

The protracted battle between Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno and a group of city councilors over the leadership of the Springfield Police Department came to an end last week—or, at least, a temporary halt.

On March 19, Sarno announced that he had selected SPD Deputy Chief John Barbieri to succeed current Police Commissioner William Fitchet when the latter retires at the end of May. In his announcement, the mayor praised Barbieri as “a progressive and innovative leader who has the command and respect of the department. More importantly, he understands and respects the mosaic and fabric of the people of Springfield.”

Barbieri, a 26-year veteran of the SPD, has been a deputy chief for five years and has worked in thenamed his new commissioner; Fenton even scheduled a special meeting for last Friday to vote on the ordinance. That became a moot issue, however, after Sarno beat the Council to the punch by naming Barbieri to the post.

Sarno has also been criticized by some councilors and members of the public for the narrow, private way he conducted his search for Fitchet’s replacement. Earlier this year, the mayor had announced that he would choose his new commissioner from the SPD’s three deputy chiefs rather than open the position to a wider pool of candidates. A few days before Sarno announced his decision, the heads of the Springfield NAACP, Arise for Social Justice and the Council of Churches publicly criticized one of the three candidates, Deputy Chief Robert McFarlin, accusing

Mr Newnham said WA was being hindered by the "most restrictive retail trading hours and the highest payroll tax on jobs in the nation".

"The Government cannot expect low unemployment in WA when it increased payroll tax in its last budget, putting a handbrake on SMEs taking on more employees, and has walked away from supporting the upskilling of the WA workforce by removing the Payroll Tax Exemption for existing employees," he said.

Increase due to 'jobseekers:' Minister

The McGowan Government brushed off the figure, saying it was nothing to worry about.

"12,000 additional people re-entered the market looking for work and that results in this apparent increase in unemployment," frontbencher Paul Papalia said.

"What's happening now is increased optimism in the workforce.

"People who had previously given up on looking for


work have entered the market in the last month."

Mr Papalia said 744 people had found jobs in March.

Labor failing on jobs pledge: Opposition

But the Opposition took aim at the Government, saying it was failing to meet its election promise to create 50,000 jobs.

"There are 98,000 people seeking employment that can't find a job, the highest since records began in 1978," Mr Nalder said.

"We have seen unemployment increase by 10,000 [jobs].

"This really flies in the face of the commitment that the McGowan Labor Government made to the people of Western Australia."Media playback is unsupported on your device Media caption Harriet the singing donkey does a great Madame Butterfly

The family of the late British physicist Stephen Hawking has opened a lottery for 1,000 tickets for a service of thanksgiving in his honor at Westminster Abbey.

Hawking's ashes are to be interred June 15 at the London church between the graves of Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin.

The cosmologist's account of the mysteries of space, time and black holes in "A Brief History of Time" won him international acclaim. His work went on despite being diagnosed at age 21 with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS.

In a nod to the public, Hawking's foundation will select 1,000 applicants at random to attend. The abbey will be open for free afterward for the public to pay their respects at his grave.

BACKGROUND
In 1994, Brown murdered Isam Salman and Hayder Al Turk at the Midway Market in Youngstown, Ohio. A jury convicted Brown of two counts of aggravated murder by prior calculation and design. The jury returned guilty verdicts on the firearm specifications and a death penalty specification that the murder was committed as part of a course of conduct involving the purposeful killing of two or


solely by the master control unit, or the traverse movement may be effectuated by the control device and the master control unit in cooperation.
In an embodiment of the process according to the invention wherein the control device and the master control unit cooperate, a belt travel sensor monitors the position of the belt, and, when necessary, the belt is adjusted accordingly in the transverse direction. To adjust the belt""s position, sensor signals generated by the belt travel sensor are fed to a master control unit which controls the transverse movement of the belt.
In this invention, the belt travel sensor, which monitors the belt edges, may be a belt travel feeler or the like.
Further, the belt may be moved stepwise in the transverse direction. In certain applications, however, itis preferable for the belt to be moved continuously in the transverse direction.
According to the embodiment of the invention wherein the control device operates solely to bring about the transverse movement of the belt, the belt travel sensor may be driven in a linear manner, thereby causing the transverse movement of the belt, by an activation device which is controlled by an associated control device.
In the invention disclosed herein, the activation device can include at least one cylinder/piston unit. The cylinder/piston unit operates in only one direction and has a spring reset.
The distance of the transverse movement of the belt is preferably adjustable. Additionally, the travel time of the transverse movement of the belt may also be adjustable.
In an embodiment of the device according to the invention, the


control device associated with the activation device includes at least one pressure regulator with a motorized adjustment.
The belt travel sensor may also be a pendulum feeler or the like.
The belt may be a wire or a felt belt. The invention is thus applicable both in the wire and in the press section of a respective paper making machine. It is also possible for a plurality of wire or felt belts to be moved transverse to the direction of circulation.
According to the invention, there is disclosed a process for handling a material web. The process includes moving the material web, at least in stretches, along with at least one circulating endless belt in a circulation direction and monitoring the movement of the edge of the at least one circulatingendless belt. The process further includes driving repeatedly the circulating endless belt in a direction generally transverse to the circulation direction.
In the process disclosed herein, the belt may be either one of a wire belt or a felt belt, and the material web may be one of paper or cardboard.
Additionally, the at least one circulating endless belt can be moved periodically in the transverse direction.
According to the invention, the process further includes monitoring the position of the at least one circulating endless belt in the transverse direction by way of a belt travel sensor and driving the at least one circulating endless belt in the transverse direction to generate linear transverse movement of the at least one circulating endless belt.
The belt travel sensor may also be a belt


travel feeler. In the invention, the belt travel sensor can be used for belt edge detection.
Additionally, the monitored position of the at least one circulating endless belt is fed to a master control unit for controlling the transverse movement of the at least one circulating endless belt.
With respect to movement of the circulating endless belt, it may be either moved stepwise in the transverse direction, or it can be moved continuously in the transverse direction.
According to the invention, a device for handling a material web is provided. The device includes at least one circulating endless belt for moving the material web along, at least in stretches, in a circular direction, and at least one belt travel sensor for monitoring the position of the at least one circulating endlesssensor signals are generated by the at least one belt travel sensor, the signals being fed to the master control unit for determining the transverse movement of the at least one circulating endless belt. Further, the activation device, for moving the sensor, and the associated control device, for actuating the activation device, cooperate to generate the transverse movement of the circulating endless belt.
Additionally, the device includes a distance adjustment mechanism for adjusting the distance of the traverse movement of the at least one circulating endless belt, and a time adjustment mechanism for adjusting the travel time of the traverse movement of the at least one circulating endless belt. The mechanisms may move the at least one circulating endless belt stepwise in the transverse direction, or it may be


filing of the petition, both Carl and Helayne were residents of Warwick, Rhode Island.
The record indicates that Helayne was subsequently served with a summons directing her to appear and show cause why an order for support requested in the petition should not be made. A hearing on the petition was held on May 30, 1978, before a master of the Family Court. At the conclusion of the hearing, during which Carl appeared as the complaining witness for the department, the master rendered his decision which was later incorporated in an order entered on June 13, 1978. The substance of that order provided:
"1. Based upon the finding of the Court, Carl Manco, the petitioner, needs $400.00 per week for the support of the five minor children of the parties.
"2.a much better picture of receipt, expenditure and investments of an officer," said Chowdary, who headed the income tax department before taking over as the chief of the probity watchdog.

Expressing the resolve to take every possible step and route to weed out corruption in line with Prime Minister Narender Modi's vision for a "corruption-free nation" and war against black money, he said the human aspect - such as role of individuals and auditors - in the Punjab National Bank (PNB) loan scam showed that investigation needs to look at the use of technology for misdeeds and for covering them up.

This, Chowdary said, would require some software preparation, Standard Operating Procedures and perhaps some approvals.

"It is under preparation," he said.

ELEANOR HALL: It started as a community program to address the escalating use of the drug, ice, in small towns in New South Wales and Victoria.

Now the 'Dob in a Dealer' campaign is being rolled out across New South Wales, as part of the Federal Government's crackdown on methamphetamine use.

Lucy Carter reports.

LUCY CARTER: The small town of Wellington in the central west of New South Wales developed the unfortunate nickname of 'Antarctica' because of the huge amount of ice being used by residents.

With a population of just 5,000 people, addiction and crime-related problems were causing issues for almost everyone in town.

Last year, Wellington police adopted a local 'Dob in a Dealer' policy.

ALISON CONN: We've been amazed at its


success, as have the police.

LUCY CARTER: Alison Conn is the manager of the community group Wellington Information and Neighbourhood Services.

ALISON CONN: We've had over 100 reports go in through the Dob in a Dealer project and as a direct result of Dob in a Dealer we've had 15 arrests and they have actually varied.

It hasn't just been dealer arrests, it's been firearm offences, burglaries.

LUCY CARTER: She says the program has had a direct impact on drug use in the town.

ALISON CONN: The really important thing behind it Lucy, is not so much for us as a town arresting people, us as a town it's from saving some of our residents from using drugs.

And anecdotally we have seen that there are a number of people that no longer haveaccess to drugs and no longer use drugs.

So that's been a fantastic result from our point of view.

LUCY CARTER: The success of the Dob in a Dealer program in Wellington and in parts of regional Victoria last year caught the interest of the Federal Government.

In August, the then-Prime Minister Tony Abbott announced $1 million of funding to be dedicated towards rolling the program out across Australia.

In New South Wales, that process is starting today.

Assistant Police Commissioner Peter Barrie is also a director of Crimestoppers New South Wales

I think we'll get a fantastic outcome, you know the community are very keen to assist police in identifying dealers in particular.

They understand the harm it's doing to their community, the harm it's doing to the individuals and family units.

ABC the remaining three years. In my mind the best years were the ones that featured Maj. Adams (Ward Bond) and McCullough (Robert Horton). Bond died in 1961 and was replaced by John McIntire, Horton left in 1962 and both Scott Miller and Robert Fuller took over his scouting chores. Regulars who remained throughout the series were Frank McGrath as Charlie Wooster the cook, and Terry Wilson as Bill Hawks.
One of the show's execs was Gene Roddenberry. When he went to pitch a new s-f show to producers, Star Trek, he called it "Wagon Train in space."
The first time I noticed an appaloosa horse was the one Horton rode on Wagon Train. I thought it was the strangest horse I ever saw. Years later, when I became acquaintedVP Biden coming to Utah to raise money

SALT LAKE CITY — Vice President Joe Biden will make a fundraising stop in Utah next month, state Democratic Party Chairman Jim Dabakis said Monday.

Dabakis said the July 10 fundraiser for President Barack Obama's re-election campaign will be held at a private home in Park City. The vice president has no other events scheduled in the state.

"We would love to have him do something," Dabakis said. "But this is just the way politics are now. The pressure is on to raise so much money. We're thrilled to have the vice president here."

NYPD Officer's Act of Kindness Goes Viral on Facebook and Reddit A tourist snapped a photo of Officer Lawrence DePrimo giving boots to a man.

Nov. 29, 2012  -- A New York Police Department officer's act of kindness has gone viral online thanks to a photo snapped by a passing tourist.

Jennifer Foster of Florence, Ariz., was visiting Times Square with her husband on Nov. 14 when she spotted a shoeless man asking for change. Foster is the manager of the Pinal County Sheriff's public safety communications center.

"Right when I was about to approach, one of your officers came up behind him," Foster wrote in a message to the NYPD. "The officer said, 'I have these size 12 boots for you, they are all-weather. Let's put them on andof Long Island.

DePrimo joined the NYPD in 2010 and lives with his parents. He has been shocked by the attention he has received and did not know about the photo or that it was going to be posted online, DePrimo told the New York Times.

"It was freezing out and you could see the blisters on the man's feet," DePrimo told the paper. "I had two pairs of socks and I was still cold."

DePrimo found out that the man, whose name he does not know, wore a size 12 shoe. He went into a Skechers shoes store and bought the all-weather boots for $75. DePrimo said the man was thrilled with the boots and went on his way.

DePrimo told the Times that he has kept the receipt in his


vest pocket "to remind me that sometimes people have it worse."

When contacted by ABCNews.com, DePrimo said he had to get permission from the NYPD before he could comment on the story.

The NYPD posted the Foster's photo and message on their official Facebook page on Tuesday evening and it was picked up by Reddit. Since then, the Facebook photo has been "liked" over 347,000 times and shared over 94,000 times, turning DePrimo into an Internet hero.

While some of the thousands of comments on Facebook questioned whether the photo was stages, the comments were predominantly in praise of the officer.

One commenter wrote, "My eyes stung from the tears as I read this story - so awesome knowing there is still goodness in the world! May only good things come tobe allowed to continue their journey."

Tradition Name: Navajo

Posted by C. Dean Wilson 2012

Pottery forms long known to have been produced by Navajo groups exhibit some traits similar to those noted in examples known to have been produced by surrounding Pueblo groups and others that seem to be unique to the Navajo. Unlike other Apachean pottery traditions, Navajo pottery includes both gray ware and painted forms. Similarities of gray utility pottery produced by Navajo and Apache groups to the east and west have sometimes resulted in their grouped into Quemada Gray Wares. Decorated wares are reflected by a distinct combination of surface manipulations and decoration that appear to have been borrowed from a number different Pueblo decorated traditions, but combined to produce distinctly Navajo pottery.

While pottery making was originally thought to have been introducedto the Navajo by Pueblo Refugees fleeing the Spanish during the Pueblo revolt (Baugh and Eddy 1987; Carlson 1965 Brugge 1982), tree-ring dates and other evidence indicate the production of gray utility wares date by at least the A.D. 1540s and decorated and decorated pottery began to be produced sometime during the early seventeenth century (Reed and Reed 1992; Wishusen 2010). These dates combined evidence indicating the continuation of a distinct process of manufacture of Navajo pottery as compared to Pueblo pottery seem to indicate a technology that appears to have developed prior to entry of the Navajo into the Southwest.

While Navajo component have been divided into several periods, most of which are dominated by Dinetah Gray exhibiting similar characteristics. The earliest (Dinetah and Gobernador) of these phases

On Tuesday, in what Bivens thought was supposed to be a drug deal, 70 pills in exchange for $575, turned into a drug bust, police said.

Thirty-five officers in SWAT gear jumped out of the unmarked van and swarmed his house on Beaumont Lane. The deputies had their guns drawn and were yelling at people outside the house to get on the ground.

Neighbors were surprised to see the officers, but they told Eyewitness News they weren't surprised who was being arrested. Deputies said their complaints about traffic in the neighborhood led them to Bivens.

"I've beentrying to tell them for a long time. They need to just move and quit doing everything," said Chelsie Caudill.

Officers searched the house and the cars in the driveway. They said they seized 107 prescription pills. Three other people were arrested on charges of possession of marijuana and pills. Deputies said they've been tracking Bivens' moves for the past three months.

They said many of the sales he's been making have been to undercover officers.

"It looks like it's coming from a family member that's actually receiving the prescription drugs and then allowing another family member to sell them," said Sheriff David Carpenter.

The sheriff said that family member is Bivens' dad. He, too, could face charges by the end of the week, Carpenter said.

The present invention relates generally to the art of sputtering transparent metallic films for solar energy control, and more particularly to the art of controlling the color and durability of sputtered films.
Transparent films of metals such as silver, copper, nickel and cobalt are readily produced by electroless deposition methods. U.S. Pat. No. 3,457,138 to Miller discloses an electroless (wet chemical) method for producing transparent copper films over a thin transparent silver film on glass. Similarly produced wet chemical silver/copper films on glass have achieved commercial success as architectural products for solar energy control. The coating effectively reflects solar heat energy while presenting an aesthetically appealling low reflectance pinkish colored surface to the observer.
However, advances in coating technology provide alternative processes for producing transparent metallic films for solar energycontrol, such as chemical vapor deposition, vacuum evaporation deposition, and cathode sputtering. Cathode sputtering is particularly desirable for producing metallic films in a method that is fast and efficient on a large scale. U.S. Pat. No. 4,166,018 to Chapin discloses a particularly useful sputtering process and apparatus which employ a magnetic field to improve cathode sputtering conditions. A sputtering apparatus is described in which a magnetic field is formed adjacent a planar sputtering surface. The field comprises arching lines of flux over a closed loop erosion region of the cathode surface.
In attempting to reproduce the properties of a wet chemical two-layer silver/copper film on glass by cathode sputtering, using known cathode sputtering techniques to produce two-layer silver/copper films at various thicknesses and thickness ratios, the desirable low reflectance


BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Mike Pettine knows he might not have been Cleveland's first choice or even the Browns' second pick.

Buffalo's defensive coordinator, who didn't seem to be on Cleveland's radar when the team began a coaching search last month, signed a five-year contract Thursday and was named the Browns' seventh full-time coach since 1999. Pettine replaces Rob Chudzinski, fired on Dec. 29 after just one season.

The Browns interviewed 10 candidates before deciding onthe 47-year-old Pettine, who has built a solid reputation with a no-nonsense approach with his players.

"I have been nicknamed BFT — Blunt Force Trauma," he said. "The days are too short to dance around subjects some time and I think guys appreciate that."

His straight-forward style attracted Browns owner Jimmy Haslam, who set out to find a "strong winner" and feels the clean-shaven Pettine can lead Cleveland's resurgence.

"He's very smart," Haslam said. "He's aggressive. He's innovative. You can see he's tough. He's going to be very demanding. He's going to set high standards for our organization."

Pettine spent one year with the Bills after four as Rex Ryan's defensive coordinator with the New York Jets. Before that, Pettine was an assistant coach in Baltimore, giving him some familiarity in Cleveland's


division.

Pettine understands there are challenges in turning around the Browns, who have lost at least 11 games in each of the past six seasons and made the playoffs once in their expansion era. Pettine believes the Browns have talent — as evidenced by their six Pro Bowlers — and wants to be the one to return them to glory.

"There's only 32 of these jobs and they don't come along often," Pettine said. "People ask me, 'Why didn't you wait? There will be chances next year?' I don't know if I believe in that. When you put all the factors together, this franchise is in position, given the right leadership, to win."

Story continues

Pettine emerged as the favorite to become Cleveland's fourth coach in six years as the Browns eliminatedcandidates and Denver offensive coordinator Adam Gase, considered the front-runner when the search started, told the team to move on without him.

His hiring ends a 25-day odyssey for the Browns. It was a quest filled with rumors, denials, withdrawals and far too much drama for a franchise seeking stability.

At the Pro Bowl in Hawaii, Browns tight end Jordan Cameron echoed the sentiments of most Cleveland fans.

"I'm just happy to have a coach," he said.

The Browns flew to Mobile, Ala., on Tuesday to interview Pettine for the second time at the Senior Bowl. The four-hour meeting came shortly after Gase, the first candidate the team contacted, called Haslam and withdrew from consideration.

The team had been expected to give Seattle defensive coordinator Dan Quinn a second interview, but if he


was their pick, the Browns would have had to wait until after the Super Bowl to finalize a deal. Banner said the decision to hire Pettine before speaking with Quinn a second time was "tough."

As six other teams filled their head-coaching vacancies, the Browns kept looking. The lengthy delay led to a national perception the team didn't have a clear plan.

Aware of the criticism, Haslam sent a letter to Cleveland fans last week explaining why the team was being "methodical" in finding Chudzinski's replacement.

Haslam argued the view of the Browns was media driven.

"That's a perception that you all have generated," he said to reporters. "That's not the perception among candidates or football people that I've talked to around the country."

Browns CEO Joe Banner took a playful jab atCleveland's front office, which was characterized locally as "The Three Stooges" when the search began.

"I don't know if you had a chance to meet Mike, but since (GM) Mike Lombardi and I are Moe and Larry, we went and set out to find Curly and we succeeded," he said. "That's why it took so long; there aren't a lot of Curlys running around the country."

Now that he's in place, Pettine is ready to roll up his sleeves and fix the Browns. Football is in his blood.

He learned the game from his father, Mike Pettine Sr., who won four Pennsylvania state championships and retired as the winningest coach in state history.

Not long after getting the job, Pettine phoned his dad.

"It was special," he said. "It didn't last very long


taking piano lessons from appellant when he was 10 years old. At first, his lessons were one-hour long and took place on a weekday after school. In July 1990, when Randy was 11, the schedule changed to a two-hour session at appellant's house on Saturday mornings every other week.
During the first two-hour session, appellant told Randy that music was like sex in that they both had a build-up and a climax. He also showed Randy some pornographic magazines. At the next lesson, appellant again showed Randy pornographic magazines, which caused Randy to have an erection. Randy then pulled down his pants, and appellant measured his penis.
Randy said that appellant masturbated Randy's penis during piano lessons on about 10 separate occasions between July and December 1990. During the firston August 22, 1997, which was recorded, was played for the magistrate during the preliminary hearing. Randy told appellant that he was thinking of talking to a therapist about their relationship. Appellant told Randy he hoped he would not do so because the therapist would have to tell the police, and appellant's life would be ruined. Appellant admitted that his conduct with Randy was a "mistake on my part for which I grievously apologize." Appellant said what he did was "wrong," but there was no detailed discussion of what had occurred between Randy and appellant. Appellant told Randy he regretted what he had done to him and had been "straight and narrow ever since."

The amendment was apparently prompted by the following comment contained in a report prepared for a June 9, 1992, hearing of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary: "Under the new exception to the statute of limitations created by this bill, the offense must involve substantial sexual conduct; this would be defined to mean penetration of the vagina or rectum by the penis of the offender or by any foreign object, oral copulation, or masturbation of371 F.2d 672

Before WATERMAN, HAYS and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.
ANDERSON, Circuit Judge:

1
The appellant, Morton Birnbaum,


a physician licensed to practice medicine in the State of New York, brought this action pro se on May 1, 1964 against the three defendants-appellees in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.  He based jurisdiction on 42 U.S.C. 1983 'and other sections of the Civil Rights Laws' and sought damages of $25,000 and costs.  The defendant, Ray E. Trussell, was then Commissioner of the New York City Department of Hospitals, and the defendant, Robert J. Mangum, was his First Deputy Commissioner.  William Lewis, the other defendant, was president of Local 237 of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, a union which represented non-medical employees in the City's hospitals.

2
The complaint alleged in conclusory terms that the three defendants had conspired tolacked jurisdiction because Trussell and Mangum, as state officers, were immune from suit and because Lewis, not being a state official, was not under the prohibition of the statute.  This court reversed the jurisdictional ground of dismissal1 but held that the complaint did not state a cause of action.  The case was, therefore, remanded and the district court was instructed to dismiss the complaint with leave to amend.

4
The amended complaint sets forth in great detail the events leading to the dismissal of appellant from his position at Coney Island Hospital.  It reiterates the charge that Dr. Birnbaum was a victim of racism and was dismissed because he was white, but adds the allegation that he was summarily discharged without a hearing, and that the appellees


U.S.C. 1985(3) (1959).4  While we agree that the appellant does not satisfy the requirements of Sec. 1985(3), we reverse because we conclude that he has stated a good cause of action under Sec. 1983 on the facts alleged, which we summarize as follows:

6
Dr. Birnbaum, as a physician on the staff of Coney Island Hospital, was assigned to treat patients in the emergency room and admitting wards.  While so employed he became involved in four troublesome incidents with Negro nonmedical employees of the hospital.  On October 22, 1962, he reprimanded a nurse's aide, who was a Negro, because she refused, when he requested it, to give up a chair in which she was sitting to a person who was faint.  She complained to the unioncommissioner's office add the appellant was ordered by the hospital superintendent to appear for a hearing to be held before Mangum.5  The appellant requested a a copy of the charges, but was refused.  He then retained counsel and, after further attempts to obtain a copy of the charges proved futile, he protested that he was entitled to a hearing before the medical board, and notified Mangum that he would not appear unless he was given a copy of the charges.  Mangum then notified him that he was dismissed and followed this with a letter to all of the City's other hospitals with instructions not to put Dr. Birnbaum on their staffs.  Following the appellant's dismissal, Lewis and the other union representatives let it be


known that they had secured his removal and continued, as part of a campaign to increase the membership of the union, to accuse him of abusing Negroes.

11
Appellant's basic complaint is that the appellees conspired to discharge him without the hearing he was entitled to under state law.  In addition to this, he contends that he was fired because he was white, rather than Negro.

12
It is on this second contention that the appellant claims that his complaint states a good cause of action under Sec. 1985(3), because he was deprived of equal protection of the law or equal privileges and immunities under the law.  The facts alleged, however, do not substantiate his claim.  It may very well be true that appellant would not have been dischargedthe State of Montana used
perjurious testimony and concealed exculpatory evidence in
order to obtain the original felony theft convictions. The
items included photocopies of an undated, unsigned letter to
former Chief Justice Haswell, a purported partnership
agreement dated March 3, 1981, and eight letters. Petitioner
argues these items were concealed from him during trial,
resulting in a denial of due process and mandating a new
trial.
       On March 19, 1985, petitioner filed a petition for writ
of habeas corpus in the Federal District Court in Arizona.
The State of Montana responded with a motion to dismiss for
failure to exhaust state remedies on claims raised by the
petition. The court granted the State's motion. An appeal
to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ensued, resulting in an
affirmance on July 28, 1986.


Post-conflict integration of former combatants into national armed forces is not a new reconciliation strategy. The Syrian government, however, is doing this before the war ends, which will only prolong the conflict, according to Syria researcher Haid Haid.

BEIRUT – Over the past two decades, peace agreements have increasingly prescribed the integration of former rebels into the national armed forces they once fought as a strategy to promote reconciliation.

There is no clear consensus on the extent to which this approach contributes to lasting peace and security, but some countries like the Philippines have had moderate success in mitigating tensions with secessionist groups by integrating these forces into their security apparatus.

However, in Syria, the government is using this approach to reinforce its control over the country and strengthen its fightingan absolute hit, and the idea caught fire. From the 1930s to the 1970s, the American entertainment scene engaged in a love affair with the South Seas, or rather, with the idea of them, distilled into stiff rum drinks, and served up in a tropical, romantic atmosphere. Donn and the bartenders that followed him continued to riff on the trinity, introducing more and more unusual ingredients: Pineapple. Guava. Orgeat (almond-orange flower syrup). Falernum (almond-ginger-allspice syrup). Lilikoi (purple passion fruit). Coconut. Soon, there were tiki bartenders creating drinks with fourteen different ingredients.

The drinks must have seemed especially exotic when sipped inside the restaurants designed by Hollywood art directors. These tiki palaces took their guests to ￼another world — a Pop Polynesian planet full of indoor waterfalls and carved idols,

It turned out there were 1,152,611 winners of the first lottery draw, sharing a prize fund of just over £22 million between them. So great was the number winners, that the jackpot estimate had to be downgraded from £6.9 million to £5.9 million, although it did mean that seven lucky punters went home with a shade under £840,000 each.

Tomorrow marks 25 years since the launch of the first National Lottery draw, and the hype leading up to the event could scarcely have been greater. Television commercials, newspaper ads, and wall-to-wall news coverage meant it was the subject on everybody's lips as 49 million people bought tickets in the five-day run-up to the draw. One tabloid hack even changed his name by deed poll to Lenny Lottery, while primeminister John Major – a man not exactly noted for good luck during his time in office – was pictured buying a ticket.

Since its launch on November 19, 1994, the National Lottery has created 5,500 millionaires across the UK, and has handed out £71 billion in prize money. A further £40 billion has been handed over to good causes, and it continues to raise £30 million every week.

But while the basic principle remains the same, the lottery has seen many changes over the past quarter of a century.

Nigel Railton, chief executive of lottery operator Camelot, says one of the biggest differences is the variety of different games on offer.

"Back in 1994, the National Lottery had just one game," he says. "Now it offers six draw-based games, as well


was really very little option but to restructure the way the main lottery game was played.

"How many other products can you name that cost the same today as they did in 1994?," he asks.

Mr Railton points out that the 2013 price increase related only to the Lotto game, which at the time had been suffering from declining sales.

"While overall National Lottery sales had been increasing, sales of Lotto had been declining for a number of years," he says.

"We therefore decided to stimulate player interest with new prizes and more ways to win, all of which were made possible by changing the price of the game for the first time since 1994."

He says the changes successfully increased the amount of revenue raised, with more money going to both players[Bilateral pleuritis following esophageal fistula in a horse as a complication of a Gasterophilus infection].

The claim came as Syria's security forces backed by tanks intensified operations to suppress unrest in three new flashpoint towns on Sunday and it was confirmed that four women had been shot dead in the first use of force against an all-female demonstration.

A senior western diplomat in Damascus expanded on assertions, first made by White House officials last month, that Iran is advising president Bashar al-Assad's government on how to crush dissent.

The diplomat pointed to a "significant" increase in the number of Iranian personnel in Syria since protests began in mid-March. Mass arrests in door-to-door raids, similar to those that helped to crush Iran's


"green revolution" in 2009, have been stepped up in the past week.

Human rights groups suggest more than 7,000 people have been detained since the uprising began. More than 800 people are said to have died, up to 50 during last Friday's "day of defiance". Last night two unarmed demonstrators were reportedly killed during a night rally in the eastern city of Deir al-Zor.

"Tehran has upped the level of technical support and personnel support from the Iranian Republican Guard to strengthen Syria's ability to deal with protesters," the diplomat said, adding that the few hundred personnel were not involved in any physical operations. "Since the start of the uprising, the Iranian regime has been worried about losing its most important ally in the Arab world and important conduit forto compromise on political reform. US policy towards Syria was based on "opportunism in support of the Zionist regime's avarice", it said.

The Assad family, from the Shia Muslim minority Alawite sect, is likely to be nervous about appearing to be helped by its Shia-dominated ally to crush protesters drawn from the 75% Sunni population.

Regime forces backed by tanks were in action over the weekend in Homs, in the town of Tafas north of Deraa, and in the coastal city of Banias, activists said. Violence was also reported in the Damascus dormitory town of Zabadani.

Along with arbitrary detentions, shootings have continued.

In the 1970s, public concerns about releases conducted by the WHO Research Unit on Genetic Control of Mosquitoes in New Delhi were a major factor in the project's cancellation \[[@ppat.1005830.ref025]\]. More recently, there have been high-profile anti-GM protests in the UK and Germany \[[@ppat.1005830.ref026]\].

Jordan Williams (C) (2009-2011)

There was so much potential here. Was so dominate on the glass and in the paint just as a freshman. Had he stayed a few more years, could have became one of Maryland's best big men.

Because the defects in the motion to revoke did not
mislead or surprise Barocio, and therefore did not prejudice his defense, the variance
between the allegations and proof was not fatal.  Further, Barocio admitted using
marihuana "about February 16th."  The variance between that date and the date alleged
in the motion, February 28, is not so great as to prejudice Barocio's defense.  Barocio was
given fair notice by the motion to revoke and was therefore afforded the real opportunity
to prepare a defense without surprise.  The evidence presented at the revocation hearing,
namely Barocio's admission, was sufficient to prove by a preponderance of the evidence
he failed to abstain from the use of marihuana, and thereby violated a condition of his
community supervision, as alleged.
Failure to Complete Community Service Hours
          The conditions ofBarocio's community supervision required him to perform twenty
hours of community service per month, beginning September 30, 2001.  Barocio admitted
at the revocation hearing he lacked the required community service hours.  He testified he
lacked around fifty-nine of the required hours of community service.  No evidence was
offered to show Barocio had performed the required hours of community service.  We find
the trial court did not abuse its discretion in finding that Barocio had not performed
community service as required by the conditions of his community supervision.
Failure to Verify Employment
          Barocio further testified that, at various times during his community supervision, he
did not offer written verification of his employment.  Barocio's community supervision
conditions required him to present to his community supervision officer written verification
of employment at each reporting date.
