The largest single gang prosecution in San Bernardino County history
ended last week with the sentencing of 25-year-old Cherish Velez.
The
Apple Valley woman, who was ordered to spend 16 years in prison on
assault and drug charges, was the 61st person with ties to the East Side
Victoria street gang to be put behind bars, prosecutors said.The years-long effort by prosecutors has stymied a gang that mired the high desert town of Victorville in drugs and violence since the late 1960s.

Spokane scientists have found a brain protein that boosts the healing
power of sleep and speeds an animal's recovery from the flu.
Research by WSU Regents Prof. James M. Krueger has determined that a
brain-specific protein is uniquely involved in sleep responses triggered
by the influenza virus in mice. Without the protein, animals develop
more severe symptoms of infection and die at higher rates than regular
or control mice.
Krueger said the discovery could lead to alternative treatments for influenza and other infectious diseases, possibly by using intranasal sprays to stimulate the production of the brain protein, called AcPb.
Previous research indicates that sleep is necessary for a healthy immune system and plays a critical role in the body's response to bacterial and viral infections.
SPOKANE, Wash. — Police found a toddler left in a freezing car for
five hours after being notified by a convenience store clerk, who said
the child's dad said he couldn't locate the car and child.
A clerk working inside the gas station in this eastern Washington city said a man, Charles Fife, came up to the cash register and said he needed help finding his car and the two-year-old child inside.

A 5-year-old Tacoma girl who was sent home from school with a fever was dead a couple of days later from the flu. The mother, Rebecca Taylor, said she treated her daughter Scarlet at home for two days last month for cold symptoms. When the girl had breathing trouble, her mother took her to Mary Bridge Children's Hospital. She died four hours later.
A street magician had his head chopped off by Islamic State thugs for entertaining passers-by with his tricks. The talented performer, loved by children, was dragged away while performing in the jihadists’ “capital” of Raqqa in Syria. He
was later beheaded in a public square after his harmless stunts,
similar to those of Bradford-born superstar Dynamo, were deemed to
insult Islam.
A local who fled to safety in Turkey called his murder “barbarism and butchery.”

People who owe old debts to the Social Security Administration are
getting a reprieve this tax season: The federal government won't be
seizing their tax refunds.
Acting Social Security Commissioner Carolyn Colvin
suspended a debt collection program last spring in which thousands of
people had tax refunds seized to recoup overpayments that happened more
than a decade ago. Members of Congress complained that some people were
being forced to repay benefits they received decades ago as children.Following a review, the agency said Monday it will continue suspending the program this tax season while officials explore possible changes.
An informant has emerged as a down-to-the-wire witness against the
suspect in the infamous missing-child case of Etan Patz, prosecutors
revealed Monday.
It's not yet clear who the person is or what information he or she has. But the disclosure adds a new element to the evidence against Pedro Hernandez, which has appeared so far to rest heavily on his confessions to authorities in 2012 and statements he allegedly made to acquaintances and relatives decades ago. His defense says his confessions were false and spurred by mental problems.
Jury selection is underway for Hernandez's murder trial in 6-year-old Etan's 1979 disappearance, which helped change the nation's approach to missing-children cases.
"We have informed the defense team that we have an informant who will be testifying against the defendant," Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Joan Illuzzi-Orbon told a judge before prospective jurors arrived Monday.
