Activists Urge Counties To Comply With TRUST Act
Wednesday, June 11, 2014 | Sacramento, CA
Martin Del Agua and his family outside the Sacramento Sheriff's Department on Wednesday, June 11, 2014.

California's TRUST Act has been in place since the beginning of the year. Immigrant rights activists say the law is working, but there are still gaps in compliance.
Martin Del Agua, a married father of two, was arrested earlier this year in Sacramento after a neighbor complained he was playing his music too loud. Del Agua was detained on an immigration hold by the Sheriff's Department and was facing deportation.
Immigrant advocates say stories like his are why counties must still be reminded about the California TRUST Act, which says undocumented immigrants may not be held for deportation if they've only been arrested for minor crimes. Attorney Angela Chan says the law has lead to fewer deportations.
"I would say that overall, most counties are following the TRUST Act," she says. "So, there is significantly a good, positive impact in stopping deportation in California. And California had it really hard."
Chan says before the law California led the country in deportations. And she expects counties that aren't operating under the TRUST Act will start complying soon.
"I think that they have no choice but to fall in line," she says. "And I think that there's a strong community presence that will really push them to fall in line. And also there's the fact that, under the law, ICE holds can be regulated."
Chan says 20 out of California's 58 counties are no longer responding to any hold requests from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Del Agua got lucky, his case drew the attention of a local attorney before immigration officials could pick him up. He was released from jail and the Sacramento Sheriff's Department has since developed a TRUST Act policy.

Glial Endocannabinoid System in Pain Modulation.
"Pain is affecting the human for centuries and there still is no satisfactory strategy for patients suffering pain particularly chronic pain although intensive studies about its mechanism have been performed in order to improve the treatment of pain.
Cannabinoid is a group of chemicals extracted from plants and has a long history in treating pain through the endogenous cannabinoid receptor in the body, however, its application in pain treatment is limited due to its inverse effects.
Recent studies have indicated that glial cells play critical role in mediating pain processing through multiple pathway, including excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission in different levels of the nervous system.
Furthermore, the glial cells are found to express cannabinoid receptors.

Q: Reset counter after each post loop I'm having an ACF repeater inside a custom post type loop with a counter that makes a row around every two col-md-6's. This works great when I have an even number of col's but not when it's uneven. When a post has an uneven number of col's the counter somehow remembers that for the next post and only displays one col in the first row.
Down here you'll find the current code and a little picture of what is happening.
Somehow I need to reset the counter after each post loop but can't figure it out. wp_reset_postdata doesn't seem to work.
<?php $args = array( 'post_type' => 'posttypename', 'posts_per_page' => '-1' ); $the_query = new WP_Query( $args ); ?>
<?php if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : ?>
<?php while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>

<?php the_title(); ?>

        <?php if( have_rows('row') ): ?>

            <?php while( have_rows('row') ): the_row(); $text = get_sub_field('text'); ?>

                    <?php echo $text; ?>

                <?php $counter++; if($counter % 2 === 0) :  echo '

'; endif; ?>
            <?php endwhile; ?>

        <?php endif; ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

A: Just a small change. You need to make sure that your counter is reset to 0 before the loop for the acf starts.
        <?php $counter = 0; //Initialize your Counter here before the Loop Starts for each Post ?>
        <?php if( have_rows('row') ): ?>

            <?php while( have_rows('row') ): the_row(); $text = get_sub_field('text'); ?>

                    <?php echo $text; ?>

                <?php $counter++; if($counter % 2 === 0) :  echo '

'; endif; ?>
            <?php endwhile; ?>

        <?php endif; ?>

Cel-Fi Smart Signal Boosters are designed and authorized for use on the AT&T or T-Mobile 3G, 4G and 4G network. While Cel-Fi is designed and internally tested only for use on these two networks, some third party operators will rent space from AT&T or T-Mobile, making the Cel-Fi Signal Booster compatible with their networks as well. The most important thing to look for is the PLMN-ID, is it the same or approved by the parent network? There are three main categories of smaller operators; those that own their own towers, those that run solely off of a specific network, and those that rent a different network depending on the location. Not all of these categories will work with the Cel-Fi Signal Boosters.
The PLMN-ID is much like a Tax ID or a Social Security Number. The PLMN-ID is the identification number that is specific to the operator's network. Each Cel-Fi system is designed to search for a specific set of PLMN-ID numbers that was supplied to Cel-Fi by the operator. The Cel-FI Signal Boosters are so smart that they will not be compatible with a network's PLMN-ID that is does not already have approval for.
Some small operators are physically owned by AT&T or T-Mobile, there for they will have a programmed PLMN-ID. These networks should work with the AT&T Cel-Fi unit. These types of carriers will have matching PLMN-ID's to their parent network, and often the mobile device will display the parent companies name.
Another category of small operators are ones that own their own towers. Such a Virgin Mobile. This type of carrier usually owns their network towers and will likely NOT be compatible with the AT&T or T-Mobile Cel-Fi Signal Boosters. They will almost always have a different and unapproved PLMN-ID.
The last major category of small operators is those that rent the most efficient tower, city by city they are different. For example, an operators like Straight Talk will rent AT&T in one city but Verizon in a next. These two types of network technologies are radically different.
Below you can find a complied list of carrier expected to be compatible with either the AT&T or T-Mobile Cel-Fi Signal Boosters. Please note that we have not physically tested these carrier with the Cel-Fi, however research suggest that they will work. Please reach out to your mobile network operator to confirm their compatibility before purchasing a Cel-Fi device.

Will Market Volatility Impact IPOs?
By Katie Roof Published August 25, 2015 IPOsFOXBusiness
IPOs on tap for this fall
Frank Maturo, Americas Vice Chairman of Equity Capital Markets at UBS, speaks with FOXBusiness.com's Katie Roof about the outlook for upcoming IPOs.
The Dow is in midst of its most volatile week in history, as concerns over China continue to shake investor sentiment. With U.S. stocks officially in correction territory, some are wondering if this will prevent companies from going public.
Businesses are more inclined to IPO when stocks are steady or on an upswing, so the fall window will only reopen if everything returns to normalcy.
"The IPO market has run into turbulence," said Kathleen Smith, principal at IPO ETF (NYSE:IPO) manager Renaissance Capital. "Year-to-date over half of all IPOs are trading below their offer prices." Some of the high-profile IPOs from the past year, including Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) and Box (NYSE:BOX), are trading beneath their debut price.
Garvis Toler, Global Head of Capital Markets for NYSE Group, said that while it's "hard to predict what's going to happen with the economy over the fall and winter," the "IPO markets tend to follow the economy."
Toler and others with insight into upcoming IPOs agree that the pipeline remains strong, with a lot of companies ready to pull the trigger, should market conditions improve.
It "should be a very busy fall," said Bob McCooey, Senior Vice President of Listing Services at the Nasdaq. We're "seeing continued filings of pretty large deals."
While not quite on par with last year's blockbuster performance, 2015 has been a robust year for U.S. IPOs, with 133 so far this year, according to Dealogic.
Due to a biotechnology boom, the Nasdaq (NASDAQ:NDAQ) has seen the bulk of companies go public, with 90 raising $12 billion. The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE:ICE) brought in larger IPOs, with 42 businesses raising $13.9 billion.
By far the most active sector has been healthcare, accounting for 47 IPOs this year. 24 financial companies went public and technology saw 18.
"It's been a very strong market for IPOs," said Frank Maturo, Americas Vice Chairman of Equity Capital Markets at UBS (NYSE:UBS) in a video with FOXBusiness.com. "While the year has been dominated by healthcare, "we are starting to see a lot more consumer retail transactions."
SoulCycle, Neiman Marcus, Albertsons and Ferrari are all preparing to go public soon. Tech companies like Pure Storage and First Data are also on the radar.
"The IPO market is going to continue to be pretty active," predicted Maturo.
