You may remember that not so long ago I wrote about what looked like a drug discovery success story for pain: anti-NGF therapy for osteoarthritis. Well, it looks like that success was short-lived. Somehow I missed this over the Christmas break, but, the FDA has ended trials on anti-NGF therapies for osteoarthritis due to development of avascular necrosis in some patients. Nothing positive can come of avascular necrosis and the pulling of several trials would suggest that this is a drug class effect (or at least suspected to be). Anyway you cut it, this is bad news.

With the ability to detect ferrous and non-ferrous metals Eriez Metal Detectors are used in a wide variety of applications to protect downstream equipment or for product purity. Applications include: Quarrying and mining, Minerals, Food Processing, Recycling, Paper / Pulp, Glass, Textiles and clothing, Plastics, Rubber and Packaging.
The following information is in relation to Eriez Metalarm (MA) 3000 / 3500 / 3600 metal detectors most commonly used in quarrying, mining and minerals processing.
Briefly, the Transmit and Receive Coils are wire windings encased in High Density Polyethylene. Electrical current pulses are sent to the Transmit coil, via the Sensor Cables, which creates an electromagnetic field. This field is sampled by the Receiver coil. The sampled singal is sent to the Control Unit / Signal Processor which analyses the voltage recovery curve. A change in voltage recovery indicates metal present in the electromagnetic field.
Sensitivity is determined by the adjustment of the electronics and is constrained by the width of the search coil, the height of the product and the type and size of the metal being detected.

Video (02:53) : Tracy Claeys talked to the press on Wednesday morning about getting the Gophers football head coaching job.
Tracy Claeys is usually a sweatshirt and sweater guy, but this was a big occasion, so he figured he'd better buy a new sports coat.
The University of Minnesota announced Wednesday that Claeys, a longtime behind-the-scenes assistant, had signed a three-year, $4.5 million contract as head football coach.
Aside from the attire, everyone's comfort level was clear, as the Gophers removed the interim tag they gave Claeys after Jerry Kill retired for health reasons Oct. 28. University officials were so content with Claeys, they decided against conducting a national search for Kill's replacement. Claeys was so confident, he negotiated his contract without an agent.
The Gophers stuck with Claeys, who had spent 21 years working as an assistant under Kill, mostly as defensive coordinator.
Tracy Claeys was all smiles after he was named the new head coach for the Minnesota Gophers football team during a press conference at TCF Bank Stadium, Wednesday, November 11, 2015 in Minneapolis.
Claeys, 46, grew up in tiny Clay Center, Kan., tried out for the football team at Kansas, and quickly became a volunteer trainer under then-Jayhawks coach Glen Mason. Claeys eventually got his degree in mathematics education from Kansas State.
He flummoxed his mother in 1995, when he left a teaching job for an assistant coaching job paying $3,000 at Saginaw Valley (Mich.) State. He told her he had a good feeling about the head coach there, another small-town Kansas native named Jerry Kill.
Kill, 54, retired suddenly two weeks ago for health reasons after going 29-29 in four-plus seasons leading the team. He had just signed a contract in August with a $2.5 million salary for this year, and would have made another $11 million over the next four years.
During his tearful final news conference, Kill made it clear he wanted Claeys to replace him.
Three days later, with Claeys chomping gum on the sidelines, the Gophers came just short of upsetting then-No. 15 Michigan at TCF Bank Stadium. Trailing 29-26, the Gophers had the ball inside the 1-yard line with 19 seconds remaining but failed to get into the end zone on the next two plays. Claeys blamed himself for not having quarterback Mitch Leidner spike the ball to stop the clock.
The Gophers followed with a loss at then-No. 1 Ohio State. In that game, the Gophers trimmed the Buckeyes' lead to seven points with 2:05 remaining but couldn't recover the onside kick in an eventual 28-14 loss.
"I tried to get [Kill] to take those last two games on his record, since I'm officially starting today," Claeys joked.
Claeys also took over as acting head coach when Kill took a leave to treat his epilepsy in 2013. The Gophers responded by reeling off their first four-game Big Ten winning streak since 1973.
Claeys was nominated for the Frank Broyles Award, given to the nation's top assistant coach, each of the past two seasons. He has helped turn the defense from a perennial weakness into a strength.
Claeys was making $616,000 this year as defensive coordinator. For the rest of this season, he'll make a prorated salary of $1.3 million. He'll make $1.4 million next year, with $100,000 raises each of the next two years.
The buyout terms of Claeys' deal are $250,000 per year. If the school decided to fire him after next season, for example, it would cost them only $500,000 to buy out the remaining two years of his deal. For comparison, Kill's buyout would have been $600,000 per remaining season.
The university gave no assurances, however, to Claeys' assistant coaches, many who'd worked for Kill for at least 15 years. Claeys has praised the job Jay Sawvel has done as de-facto defensive coordinator, while hinting there could be changes coming for the offense.
"We're right here in the middle of the season," Claeys said. "We've got three big games left that we feel good about. Kids are excited.
Tracy Claeys will get a three-year contract as the new University of Minnesota football coach.
Aaron Judge took a swing, winced and then labored to make it all the way to first base.
Poll: Are you happy Tracy Claeys has been named Gophers football coach?
How does Tracy Claeys' salary stack up to other Big Ten football coaches?

Europe's gun laws are about to get even tougher
by Jim Boulden @CNNMoney January 5, 2016: 1:14 PM ET
Obama lists new gun control measures
Europe has some of the toughest gun control laws in the world and they're about to get even tighter.
As President Obama bypasses Congress to expand mandatory background checks for some private gun sales, European leaders are reviewing new restrictions on firearms, and should give their approval next month. If that happens, the changes would come into effect in July.
The European Union has been debating tougher laws for years with little progress. But the terror attacks in Paris in January and November 2015 gave new urgency to the discussion. EU leaders said in December they would "rapidly examine" the proposals, with the aim of approving them at a summit in February.
Europe already bans all automatic weapons, plus some semi-automatic guns widely available in the United States. But European officials say gun laws passed in 2008 are inadequate, and leave Europe "vulnerable to criminal activity" and terrorist attacks.
Here's what will change if the new law is adopted:
1. More categories of semi-automatic weapons will be subject to an outright ban. The new ban will apply to "B7" weapons, or "semi-automatic firearms for civilian use which resemble weapons with automatic mechanisms." EU countries will still be able to issue licenses for some semi-automatic rifles for hunting, collecting and museums.
2. Deactivated weapons are currently treated as pieces of metal that can be traded freely across European borders. That will no longer be possible. "Under no circumstances will civilians be authorized to own any of the most dangerous firearms (e.g. a Kalashnikov), which is currently possible if they have been deactivated," the proposal states.
3. Gun brokers and dealers will have to be licensed to deal in weapons. Collectors will have to get a license and face background checks even if they only own deactivated weapons. There will also be new limits on the ability to buy gun parts and ammunition online.
4. Tracing guns should become easier thanks to enhanced rules on how guns must be marked and registered. And blank firing weapons will be regulated for the first time because they can be converted to fire live ammunition.
EU law sets minimum standards for all member states, but some have gone much further. As have some countries outside Europe.
Britain and Australia adopted some of the strictest gun laws following a series of massacres in the 1980s and 1990s.
Canada has a ban on assault rifles and "military" style firearms like the AK 47. A firearm license is required for other guns. A safety test must be taken, and a third person character reference must be obtained.
Switzerland, on the other hand, maintains a traditional right to bear arms and reservists are encouraged to keep rifles at home. A referendum to enact stricter gun laws was voted down in 2011.

Microsoft Shelves Fancy TV Service for the Xbox 360
Luke Plunkett
There was a lot of buzz last year that Microsoft would be introducing a new TV subscription service for the Xbox 360, one that would bring all kinds of live TV shows to the platform and let them work with motion and voice control.
Rumor has Microsoft Announcing TV Service at E3
I love the weekends before E3. I've worked four. You get everything in the tips jar—yesterday we…
Nothing ultimately became of it because, well, nothing ultimately became of it. A report on Reuters today reveals that Microsoft was at one point very serious about the service, but backed down and shelved it when it found out how much TV networks were going to charge for live feeds of their programming.
Interestingly, while the initial reports only mention the Xbox 360, the Reuters report simply mentions Microsoft, implying the company had grander plans for its TV service than just its home console.

Barnet is a town in Caledonia County, Vermont, United States. The population was 1,663 at the 2020 census. Barnet contains the locations of Barnet Center, East Barnet, McIndoe Falls, Mosquitoville, Passumpsic and West Barnet. The main settlement of Barnet is recorded as a census-designated place by the U.S. Census Bureau, with a population of 127 at the 2020 census.

History

The town of Barnet, Vermont, originally took its name from the town of Barnet, England.

On September 16, 1763, the town received its charter from the royal governor of New Hampshire, Benning Wentworth.

The first European descendants to work the land and stay in the town were three brothers, Daniel, Jacob, and Elijah Hall, along with Jonathan Fowler. Their homestead was built along the Connecticut River and to the north near McIndoe Falls. Elijah Hall built the first house in Caledonia County in Barnet, near the base of Stevens Falls. Colonel Alexander Harvey came from Dundee, Scotland, for those in the town who wished to find new land in the American colonies. Despite losing contact with almost all of them after the American Revolution broke out, he decided to stay, claiming  of land and a lake, now known as Harvey's Lake.

The five early villages within the town of Barnet were:
 Barnet village (formerly called Stevens Village) located at the falls in the river
 McIndoe Falls (also referred to as McIndoes) near the southeast corner of the town lying along a terrace at the falls
 Passumpsic village (formerly called Kendall's Mills) in the northeast part of the town and spreading into the adjoining town of Waterford
 East Barnet (in 1875 named Norrisville), near the mouth of the river just before it enters the deep gorge
 West Barnet at the outlet of Harvey Lake, on the road from Barnet village to Peacham.

Additional hamlets that have arisen within the town are:
 Mosquitoville, located south of Harvey Lake
 Barnet Center, on the road from Barnet village to West Barnet.

The main settlement of Barnet village has grown in population and is often referred to as "the town", yet the town itself includes the populated places listed above.

Two governors of the state of Vermont were from Barnet: Erastus Fairbanks, who served two terms from 1852–1853 and 1860–1861, and his son, Horace Fairbanks, who served from 1876 to 1878. The Fairbanks family left Barnet for nearby St. Johnsbury, where they were known for manufacturing the first platform scale.

Ocean explorer and scuba inventor Jacques Cousteau had influential experiences on Harvey's Lake as a young boy in the early 1920s. While attending a summer camp he experimented with staying underwater by breathing through hollow reeds found in the lake shallows. Though he could not yet swim well, this allowed him to stay underwater for extended periods.

Religion

Christianity
On January 24, 1784, the town of Barnet voted unanimously to make the Presbyterian denomination the official one of the town, as it was "founded on the word of God as expressed in the Confession of Faith, Catechisms Longer and Shorter, with the form of church government agreed upon by the Assembly of Divines at Westminster, and practiced by the Church of Scotland."

The Passumpsic Calvinistic Baptist church was first created by a council of neighboring churches on July 1, 1812. The village of Passumpsic was chosen due to its centralized location.

The First Congregational Church of Barnet was created by Reverend David Sutherland in September 1829 after a new brick church had been built. Its first permanent minister was the Reverend Henry Fairbanks. The church which stands now was constructed in 1854.

The earliest Reformed Presbyterian Church in Vermont was organized in Ryegate in October 1798. In the early part of the nineteenth century, a group of members in Barnet built a new meeting house on the land formerly owned by Walter Harvey, and the property has gone by that name since then. The longest-tenured minister was Daniel C. Faris, who served the congregation from 1873 until 1923. The congregation's Barnet branch became a separate congregation on July 9, 1872, and it continued until disorganization in 1970.

Buddhism

In 1970, upon his arrival in North America, Chögyam Trungpa established the teaching center "Tail of the Tiger" (now Karmê Chöling). It was consolidated with others in Colorado in 1973.

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of , of which  is land and , or 3.04%, is water. The Barnet CDP, comprising the town center, has a total area of , of which  is land and , or 2.96%, is water.

The eastern border of the town is the Connecticut River, which is also the boundary between Vermont and New Hampshire. The Passumpsic River enters the Connecticut at East Barnet. Neighboring communities are Ryegate to the south, Groton to the southwest, Peacham to the west, Danville to the northwest, St. Johnsbury to the north, and Waterford, Vermont, to the northeast. Across the Connecticut River is the New Hampshire town of Monroe.

Barnet is traversed from north to south by Interstate 91, with access to the town at Exit 18, West Barnet Road. U.S. Route 5, a two-lane highway, parallels I-91 and passes through the town center.

The highest point in town is  Roy Mountain in the southern part of town, east of Harvey Lake.

Climate
This climatic region is typified by large seasonal temperature differences, with warm to hot summers and cold winters.  According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Barnet has a humid continental climate, abbreviated "Dfb" on climate maps.

Cholesterol drug STATIN side-effects under research

BioEXP: 0Bx

University of Arizona, a research team working on neurons treated with statin has made a new discovery; unusual ball-like swellings within neurons, which the team has termed the "beads-on-a-string" effect. The team is not yet entirely sure why the beads form. However, the team believes that further investigation of the beads will help inform why some people experience cognitive declines while taking statins, a wide-spread class of cholesterol reducing drugs.
"What we think we've found is a laboratory demonstration of a problem in the neuron that is a more severe version for what is happening in some peoples' brains when they take statins," said Restifo, a UA professor of neuroscience, neurology and cellular and molecular medicine, and principal investigator on the project.
Restifo and her team's co-authored study and findings were published in Disease Models & Mechanisms. Robert Kraft, a former research associate in the department of neuroscience, is lead author on the article. Restifo and Kraft cite data collected from clinical studies of patients, which refers to patients being told by their physicians that the negative cognitive effects experienced after taking statins are age-related symptoms. However, the research teams new findings imply that the neurodegenerative effects experienced by the patients are a result of the neurons negative reaction to statin.
After concluding that the likely culprit for this is statin, the team found that removing statins results in a disappearance of the beads-on-a-string, and also a restoration of normal neural growth. In further research the UA team intends to investigate how genetics may be involved in the bead formation to determine how hypersensitivity to the drugs can occur in some people. Team members believe that genetic differences could involve neurons directly, or the statin interaction with the blood-brain barrier.
"This is a great first step on the road toward more personalized medication and therapy. If we can figure out a way to identify patients who will have certain side effects, we can improve therapeutic outcomes." said David M. Labiner, who heads the UA department of neurology.
The research team has many external fundings and grants pending, and they hope to further their research to inform the doctors and patients of potential hazards and complications using this drug.
"If we are able to do genetic studies, the goal will be to come up with a predictive test so that a patient with high cholesterol could be tested first to determine whether they have sensitivity to statins," Restifo said.
Restifo uses an analogy with traffic to illustrate her teams findings.
The beads represent a sort of traffic jam, she described. In the presence of statins, neurons undergo a "dramatic change in their morphology,"
"Those very, very dramatic and obvious swellings are inside the neurons and act like a traffic pileup that is so bad that it disrupts the function of the neurons," she said.
Kraft's observations led to team's novel discovery. Restifo, Kraft and their colleagues had long been investigating mutations in genes, largely for the benefit of advancing discoveries toward the improved treatment of autism and other cognitive disorders. A stumbling led them to take another direction in their research, focusing on the apparent effect of statin.
The team tested over a thousand blind-selected drug components on fruit fly neurons, testing for possible mutating effects. Then Kraft observed that one compound, then another and then two more all created the same reaction "these bulges, which we called beads-on-a-string,'" Kraft said. "And they were the only drugs causing this effect."
"There is no question that these are very important and very useful drugs," Restifo said. Statins are used worldwide to lower cholesterol and prevent blood clots, heart attacks and strokes. But too much remains unknown about how the drugs' effects may contribute to muscular, cognitive and behavioral changes.
"We don't know the implications of the beads, but we have a number of hypotheses to test," Restifo said, hoping that further research by her team will help to better understand what exactly happens when the transportation systems in neurons are compromised.
"If statins have an effect on how the nervous system matures, that could be devastating. Memory loss or any sort of disruption of your memory and cognition can have quite severe effects and negative consequences." Kraft said.

Iran's 1988 Massacre Will Never Be Erased From History
By Jubin Katiraie
As the trial of former Iranian prison official Hamid Noury races forward in Sweden, supporters of the Iranian Resistance have been continuing their demonstrations outside of the court. Since the trial started in August, many witnesses and plaintiffs have been giving their testimonies, with Noury recently being given his chance to defend his case.
Noury was originally arrested for his involvement in one of the worst crimes against humanity in Iran's history. He was given four days to give his testimony in the court in Stockholm, but his remarks only highlighted the scale of the atrocities that took place during the 1988 massacre.
In 1988, then-supreme leader Ruhollah Khomeini issued a fatwa, a religious decree, ordering the purge of Iran's prisons of all supporters of the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK). Following Khomeini's orders, more than 30,000 political prisoners were executed across Iran.
In charge of sentencing, the prisoners to death were the 'Death Commissions', panels of judges who summoned the prisoners before minutes-long trials before sending them to the gallows if they refused to denounce their support for the MEK.
At the time of the massacre, Noury was a senior prison guard in Gohardasht prison in Karaj who routinely tortured and threatened prisoners housed there. Witnesses in his trial gave detailed, horrific accounts of the atrocities that took place in the prison and stated how Noury would read out the names of prisoners, take them before the Death Commissions, and then lead them to the Death Hall, where they were hanged in groups, with Noury actively assisting in the executions by pulling the chairs from under the prisoners' feet.
During his testimony, Noury mostly went off-topic with other discussions before being reminded by the judge, on several occasions, to keep within the context of the case.
Noury resorted to lies and profanity against the MEK, rehashing the propaganda that Iranian state media and the regime's foreign agents have been disseminating for decades. Albeit contradictory, his remarks were nonetheless important, revealing the fear that the regime has from the main opposition movement.
As the main defense for his case, Noury completely denied the 1988 massacre, claiming it never happened, and referred to it as a 'made-up story'. He claimed that Gohardasht prison did not exist and at the time the massacre took place in the summer of 1988, said he was on leave during those three months.
Further denials included the fact that Khomeini had issued to fatwa to execute all MEK prisoners, and that there were political prisoners in Iran's jails.
These lies are so outrageous that even the regime's officials have not made such claims. During the 33 years that followed the 1988 massacre, the Iranian Resistance has gathered so many documents that this crime against humanity can't be denied.
The MEK has delivered hundreds of testimonies from survivors of the 1988 massacre, and the families of the victims, to several international human rights organizations. They have also uncovered and documented several mass graves where the Iranian regime secretly buried the bodies of the victims.
Many months after the massacre had taken place, the families of the executed prisoners were informed of the death of their loved ones but were not told where the bodies had been buried.
Noury's testimony is further proof that the regime has been given a free pass for its crimes for too long. It is worth noting that Noury's trial is just the beginning of the justice that must be served. All the perpetrators of the 1988 massacre, including regime supreme leader Ali Khamenei and president Ebrahim Raisi, must one day be tried for their crimes against humanity.

Southern Miss interviews Art Briles, decides not to hire him
By DAVID BRANDTAP Sports Writer
Southern Mississippi administrators and football coach Jay Hopson disagree on whether the school should hire former Baylor head coach Art Briles for a position on the Golden Eagles' football staff.
Hopson believes they should.
President Rodney D. Bennett and interim athletics director Jeff Mitchell say no — and they have the final say.
The school released a statement Wednesday morning from Bennett and Mitchell confirming that the school had met with Briles but that "following that meeting, we informed him that he is not a candidate."
Hopson released his own statement just minutes after the school's release, saying that he respects the president's decision, but disagrees with it and that Briles "deserves a second chance."
Southern Miss has been searching for a new offensive coordinator.
The 63-year-old Briles, who led the Bears to consecutive Big 12 titles in 2013 and 2014, was fired after an external investigation revealed in May 2016 that Baylor had for years mishandled numerous sexual assault allegations by students, including some against football players.
The Pepper Hamilton firm's investigation found at least 17 women who reported being sexually assaulted by 19 football players.
Briles has insisted he did not cover up reports of assaults by players, and that he encouraged women involved in the alleged incidents to go to the police.
Baylor is still waiting for the outcome of an NCAA investigation into the school's conduct. Even so, Hopson was willing to hire Briles.
"He is a man that seemed sincere & humble in his interview & personally he committed no crime," Hopson said in his text message statement. "He may not have acted in the proper protocol, but that would be my JOB at Southern Miss! He was interviewing for an assistant position, even though I believe he will be a Head Coach at a Major Program in the near future."
This is not the first time there has been disagreement within an organization about Briles since his firing at Baylor.
When Briles was scheduled to be part of a breakout session at the American Football Coaches Association convention last year, criticism on social medial prompted the organization to cancel his participation in a session called "Standing Strong/Game Management."
That came only months after he was hired as an assistant coach by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the CFL, who the same day backtracked amid public pressure and eventually said he wouldn't join the team.
The coach, who was paid $15 million by Baylor to settle his contract when he was dismissed there, went to Italy last fall to coach an American football team there.
In eight seasons at Baylor, Briles transformed the Bears from perennial last-place finishers to back-to-back Big 12 titles, including being on the verge of the first College Football Playoff and a possible national title chance in 2014. The Bears won 50 games his last five seasons.

Former Troup Tiger Welborn's game rounds into shape
Published 12:00 am Wednesday, July 8, 2015
His game wasn't in a great place. After completing his college eligibility in the spring of 2013, former Troup Tiger Taylor Welborn took some time off from golf to focus on other things, including the completion of his college degree. Welborn is fully committed to the game now, though, and he's playing well as he heads to St. Simons Island for the Georgia State Amateur Championship that gets under way on Thursday. The tournament will be played at the Sea Island Golf Club, which hosts a PGA tournament each fall. Welborn has had a busy and productive summer that included a first-place finish in a qualifying tournament in Valdosta that secured his invitation to the State Amateur. "I've been working hard, just trying to focus on what I need to do," Welborn said on Monday after wrapping up a practice session at The Fields Golf Club. This will be Welborn's second appearance in the state's premier amateur tournament. In 2011, when Welborn was still playing college golf, he shot a final-round 69 to finish 32nd in the tournament held at the Cherokee Town and Country Club in Atlanta. He was hoping to play in the tournament again this year, but to do that he had to make it through the qualifying process. There were a handful of qualifying tournaments held across the state, and Welborn played in the one in Valdosta. Welborn needed to finish among the top eight to qualify, and he did that and more. He was the only the play to finish under par, and he won the event by two strokes after shooting a 1-under 71. "I was really surprised when I came in that I was the only one under par," Welborn said. "That was kind of shocking." While he wasn't sure if his score would be low enough to win, he knew it would earn him a spot in the State Amateur. "I knew it would be good enough to qualify," Welborn said. "I knew we were playing for eight spots, and there were only about 40 guys. I knew my score was good enough to get in." When Welborn saw that he had won, it was validation that the hard work he'd been putting in was paying off. "It's been awhile since I've been there, so it was a good feeling," he said. This will be Welborn's second major tournament of the summer. In June, he qualified for the Southeastern Amateur in Columbus, and he had scores of 77, 72 and 74, and he didn't make the cut for the final round. "I made a few mistakes in the tournament, but it was good to get into a tournament where I got to play more than one round," he said. Welborn has never played on the Sea Island Golf Club course before, but he is familiar with it. "This will be my first time around," Welborn said. "I've been out there to watch the PGA Tour event out there, but I've never actually played it." Welborn and all of the other participants will get a chance to get to know the course today. "It's a lot to take in in one day," Welborn said. "Basically what I'll do is I'll take my time. I'll work on getting my sight lines off the tee, where I want to aim, where I can miss. I'll spend a lot of time around the greens. Where's the best place to chip from? Where's the best place to putt from?" Welborn added that because "it's on the coast, it'll be pretty windy. It'll be a grind. Par will be a good score. I'm looking forward to getting down there and hopefully be in great shape." Reach Kevin Eckleberry at (706) 884-7311 or on Twitter @lagrangesports

15 Wn. App. 98, THE STATE OF WASHINGTON, Respondent, V. CLIFFORD MORGAN CAMPBELL, Appellant
[No. 3683-1. Division One. Court of Appeals March 15, 1976.]
THE STATE OF WASHINGTON, Respondent, V. CLIFFORD MORGAN CAMPBELL, Appellant.
[1] Searches and Seizure - Warrantless Search - Validity - In General. While a warrantless search is generally presumed to be unreasonable, the State may demonstrate that under the facts, circumstances, and exigencies of a given situation, such a search was reasonable and valid under the federal and state constitutions.
[2] Searches and Seizure - Warrantless Search - Emergency Situation Burglarized Dwelling. Entry of police officers into an apparently burglarized dwelling for purposes of investigating the crime, apprehending perpetrators, rendering aid to victims, and protecting the contents from further depredations is reasonable, and such an exigent situation justifies a warrantless search.
[3] Searches and Seizures - Objects in Plain View - Contraband - Effect. The seizure of contraband in the plain view of a police officer whose location and performance of duty are reasonable and justifiable, is a valid seizure and may be properly done without a warrant.
[4] Searches and Seizure - Knock and Wait Rule - Emergency Situation - Burglarized Dwelling. While police officers generally must announce their presence and request permission to enter a dwelling, they are not required to perform a useless act or one which may endanger themselves or others. Entry into an apparently burglarized dwelling without compliance with the knock and wait rule is a reasonable act and, under the exigent circumstances exception to the rule, is justifiable.

Mar. 1976] STATE v. CAMPBELL 99
15 Wn. App. 98, 547 P.2d 295
CALLOW, J. -
The defendant Clifford Campbell appeals from a conviction of violation of the Uniform Controlled Substances Act. The appeal challenges the warrantless search of the defendant's apartment and the subsequent seizure of seven marijuana plants. We hold that in view of the exigent circumstances confronting the police, the search and seizure were reasonable and affirm.
On October 13, 1974, the defendant's apartment was burglarized. A neighbor saw the burglary in process, observed a fleeing suspect, and summoned the police. Upon arrival, a police officer talked with the eyewitness, was advised of the burglary, and discovered both a Broken apartment window and wide-open apartment door. The officer entered the apartment to investigate the recent crime, to look for possible participants in the burglary, to search for evidence of the burglary, and to aid any victims. During the search, the officer opened a closet door in the kitchen of the apartment and found seven marijuana plants growing under artificial light.
The plants were seized and the defendant was charged with a violation of the Uniform Controlled Substances Act. A pretrial motion to suppress the marijuana plants on the grounds that the search and seizure were illegal was denied. The plants were admitted into evidence during the trial and the defendant was found guilty.
The question presented is whether the warrantless search of the defendant's apartment and the seizure of the marijuana plants violated the constitutional and statutory prohibitions against unreasonable searches and seizures contained in the fourth amendment to the United States Constitution, article 1, section 7 of our state constitution, and RCW 10.79.040.
[1] The standard by which the propriety of any search and seizure is to be judged is whether the search was reasonable under the facts, circumstances, and exigencies of the particular case. Only unreasonable searches are forbidden. State v. Henneke, 78 Wn.2d 147, 470 P.2d 176 (1970). A warrantless search is initially deemed to be
100 STATE v. CAMPBELL [Mar. 1976
unreasonable, subject to certain specific exceptions. Katz v. United States, 389 U.S. 347, 19 L. Ed. 2d 576, 88 S. Ct. 507 (1967); State v. Brown, 9 Wn. App. 937, 515 P.2d 1008 (1973). Each of the established exceptions to the requirement that a warrant be secured before search is undertaken is predicated upon a showing that the exigencies of the particular situation made a warrantless search imperative. Coolidge v. New Hampshire, 403 U.S 443, 29 L. Ed. 2d 564, 91 S. Ct. 2022 (1971); McDonald v. United States, 335 U.S. 451, 93 L. Ed. 153, 69 S. Ct. 191 (1948); State v. Smith, 9 Wn. App. 309, 511 P.2d 1390 (1973).
[2] A recognized exception to the requirement for a warrant provides that emergency or exigent situations may justify a warrantless entry into a home. Police officers may enter a dwelling, without a warrant, to render emergency aid to one reasonably believed to be in need of assistance. State v. Sanders, 8 Wn. App. 306, 506 P.2d 892 (1973). See also United States v. Goldenstein, 456 F.2d 1006 (8th Cir. 1972), cert. denied, 416 U.S. 943 (1974); United States v. Nash, 394 F. Supp. 1257 (E.D. Wis. 1975); People v. Johnson, 32 111. App. 3d 36, 335 N.E.2d 144 (1975). It is reasonable for officers, responding to a request for police assistance and with probable cause to believe that an open, unsecured dwelling has been recently burglarized, to immediately enter the dwelling without a warrant for the limited purposes of investigating the crime, rendering aid to any possible victims of the felony, protecting the occupant's property, and searching for remaining suspects. Cf. United States v. Langley, 466 F.2d 27 (6th Cir. 1972); State v. Proctor, 12 Wn. App. 274, 529 P.2d 472 (1974). The circumstances of this case support the conclusion that the officer's warrantless but limited intrusion into the wide-open apartment to investigate the burglary was justified by the situation confronting him and was reasonable.
[3] The search being reasonable, was the seizure of the marijuana plants discovered during the search proper? Under the plain view doctrine, contraband may be seized without a warrant if the police had justification for
Mar. 1976] STATE v. CAMPBELL 101
entering the dwelling and they came upon evidence of the commission of a crime. Coolidge v. New Hampshire, supra; State v. Murray, 84 Wn.2d 527, 527 P.2d 1303 (1974), cert. denied, 421 U.S. 1004 (1975). Here the exigent circumstances justified the police entry into the apartment for the purpose of investigating the burglary, apprehending perpetrators, protecting property, aiding victims, and discovering evidence. The Opening of the closet door was within the permissible scope of the warrantless search justified by the emergency circumstances, and the officer was properly in the performance of his duty when the contraband marijuana plants appeared in plain view. Since the officer recognized that the plants were contraband and could be destroyed or removed, their immediate seizure was proper. State v. Campbell, 13 Wn. App. 722, 537 P.2d 1067 (1975). The warrantless seizure of the marijuana plants, like the initial warrantless search, was justified and reasonable.
The defendant lastly contends that the search was executed improperly for the officer admittedly failed to knock and announce his identity and purpose prior to entering the apartment. He argues that the unannounced entry violated the fourth amendment to the United States Constitution, article 1, section 7 of our state constitution, and RCW 10.31.040. An essential element of a lawful search of a dwelling is that, prior to entry, the police knock, announce their identity and purpose, and request admittance. RCW 10.31.040; State v. Young, 76 Wn.2d 212, 455 P.2d 595 (1969). The "knock and announce" requirements stem from constitutional standards of reasonableness and are, therefore, subject to exceptions. Exigent and necessitous circumstances may justify noncompliance with the "knock and announce" requirement. Ker v. California, 374 U.S. 23, 10 L. Ed. 2d 726, 83 S. Ct. 1623 (1963); State v. Young, supra.
It is recognized that strict compliance with the requirement will be excused when to knock and announce would be to perform a useless act, endanger the police or innocent persons within the dwelling, permit escape, or allow the
destruction of evidence. A failure to knock and announce will not be forgiven absent justification from exigent and necessitous circumstances when an unannounced entry has involved a search or arrest directed against the occupant of premises forcibly entered. See, e.g., State v. Beason, 13 Wn. App. 183, 534 P.2d 44 (1975); State v. Harris, 12 Wn. App. 481, 530 P.2d 646 (1975); State v. Johnson, 11 Wn. App. 311, 522 P.2d 1179 (1974); State v. Neff, 10 Wn. App. 713, 519 P.2d 1328 (1974); State v. Singleton, 9 Wn. App. 399, 512 P.2d 1119 (1973); Coleman v. Reilly, 8 Wn. App. 684, 508 P.2d 1035 (1973).
[4] The challenged search followed the summoning of police to investigate a recent burglary and was executed not against the occupant of the apartment, but to protect his person and property. The facts of this case reflect exigent and necessitous circumstances which made the unannounced intrusion reasonable. As stated in State v. Young, supra at 215, the requirements cannot be rigid and inflexible or they become an empty formality. The conditions are part of a criteria of reasonableness and subject to certain exceptions generally recognized.
In the present case, the police were summoned to the apartment to investigate a recent Burglary. The officer listened to an eyewitness' account of the crime as soon as he arrived on the scene, and he discovered an unsecured, apparently unoccupied apartment with a wide-open door and broken window. To then knock, announce his identity and purpose, demand admittance, and wait for a refusal of admittance before entering to investigate the crime would have served no useful purpose and only lessened the chances for an effective investigation of the burglary. It was reasonable to believe that the lessee of the apartment was not present. Knocking before entrance, therefore, would have been only an empty act. An announcement prior to entry could have increased the danger to the officer, for any suspect remaining within would have been alerted to the presence of the police. Futhermore, alerting
Mar. 1976] STATE v. SMITH 103
15 Wn. App. 103, 547 P.2d 299
a perpetrator hiding within the apartment to the presence of the police would only have aided a possible escape and frustrated a potential arrest. The situation confronting the officer constituted such exigent and necessitous circumstances as excuse strict compliance with the "knock and announce" requirement and indicate an unannounced entry.
Judgment affirmed.
FARRIS and ANDERSEN, JJ., concur.


My folks got me a Kindle Touch for my birthday this year. If you're not up on your e-readers, it's the smaller (i.e. lighter and easier to carry) version of the Kindle with a completely touch-screen interface. It's got a lower resolution than the latest iPad, but it's higher than the iPad 2.
What first struck me is that, overall, graphics look pretty slick on the Touch. When it's idle for an extended period, the 'screen saver' kicks in and displays promos for the latest books, showing often elaborate covers. This, not surprisingly, looks good with other graphics as well. Books that contain diagrams or photos, as well as ones that made entirely of graphics (i.e. comics and children's books).
The interface is smooth, just touch on the right half of the screen to page forward and the left half to page backwards. A broader, universal menu can be accessed by tapped the top 1/2 inch or so of the screen. The only physical buttons are the power switch and a "back to home" button.
The Kindle reads both books specifically designed for e-readers, purchased through Amazon, or any PDF you care to load. All files are downloaded wirelessly, either through wi-fi or a G3 network. Each account has an email address that you can send files to, so you have a good deal of flexibility in terms of getting files to your Kindle, regardless of where you are. Files begin downloading as soon as your device is within range of a viable network.
The screen is crisp and clear. Very easily readable. It's size and weight make it comfortable to hold and carry around. It's actually small enough to slip into my back pocket. Allegedly it's possible to load 3000 books onto the device itself, though I haven't had a chance to test that limit yet. If you've got an e-book, particularly several that you're trying to read, it makes for a very handy and useful unit.
Now, despite the clear screen and good resolution, comics seem to be a bit hit or miss from those I've sampled so far. While the graphics themselves display well, the Kindle seems to want to make a full page graphics shrink to fit the size of the screen. And, while you can scale the fonts for regular e-books, the zooming ability on images is limited, making it a bit difficult to read normally formatted comics on the device.
That said, I discovered tonight, while I was writing this, a book called Formatting Comics for the Kindle and Nook: A Step-By-Step Guide to Images and Ebooks. My cursory scan through suggests that pamphlet comics simply don't translate well into the Kindle (or Nook) without some modifications. I'll try to provide a full review of the book once I actually read through it.
Overall, it doesn't appear to be an ideal device for reading comics; however, I've only been playing with it for less than a week and simply may not have found any comics that have actually been formatted for the device. Indeed, I'm pretty sure I haven't. But prose books work very well, even those with the occasional photo or illustration. I've already got several comics-related books downloaded, including a biography of Jim Mooney, transcripts from some of the trials surrounding Superman as an intellectual property, and a couple of academic collections of essays on the medium. Hopefully, that means I'll be able to read and review more books here, although I suspect time will not be doing me any favors any time soon!
