MEPs call for tax harmonisation and transparency on national tax rulings in 'Lux leaks' debate
Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker appeared in person for Parliament's extraordinary debate on the fight against tax avoidance, prompted by the recent revelation of secret deals granting preferential tax treatments to multinational companies in Luxembourg. Mr Juncker underlined that the tax rulings in Luxembourg were not illegal even though he admitted that "there probably was a certain amount of tax avoidance in Luxembourg, as in other EU countries. We find this everywhere in Europe because there is insufficient tax harmonisation in Europe", he explained, adding that Commissioner Moscovici will initiate proposals for an automatic exchange of information regarding national tax rulings."Read more : MEPs call for tax harmonisation and transparency on national tax rulings in 'Lux leaks' debate

LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham
"LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham" is the next instalment to the blockbuster LEGO "Batman: The Videogame" and "LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes" videogames.
But when Jurgens and Giffen begin their storyline with Superman #7, that difference in timeline will no longer separate the stories. Beginning with Action Comics #7, both titles are supposed to be set in the same time period, and will be starring the same character.
That opens the door for crossovers and more collaboration between the comics, as well as other related books like Superboy and Supergirl.
But Jurgens said there's no crossover planned anytime soon.
"People have asked me, 'Is this going to be like before where the Superman books are connected?'" he said. "The answer is no."
Jurgens said the fact that Action Comics and Superman share the same time period with #7 shouldn't be a problem because editors will be making sure the comics deal with different stories as each establishes its own style and format.

Many top medical centers use the same questionable advertising techniques that drug companies employ, according to a recent study of 17 medical centers named to the U.S. News and World Report list of "best hospitals." Researchers concluded that many hospital ads intended to attract patients concealed risks and manipulated patients' fear, vanity, and other emotions.
Researchers analyzed newspaper ads published by such top institutions as the Johns Hopkins Medical Center (Baltimore), Massachusetts General Hospital (Boston), and the University of Chicago Hospitals. Of the 122 ads reviewed, 21 promoted specific services, such as Botox injections and laser eye surgery, but only one mentioned the procedure's risks.
Most ads tried to attract patients by arousing vanity, fear, and other emotions-a tactic commonly associated with consumer advertising. The researchers concluded, "Many of the ads seemed to place the interests of the medical center before the interests of the patients."
A spokesperson for the American Hospital Association (AHA) said that that hospitals must advertise to survive in today's competitive market and that appealing to emotion is acceptable if ads are sensitive, fair, and accurate. Under AHA guidelines, however, hospitals should also disclose risks for procedures they advertise.
Advertising by academic medical centers, Archives of Internal Medicine, RJ Larson, et al., March 28, 2005.

I realize how unlikley it is that all of us will someday see things from the same point of view, making war unnecessary. But unless you imagine it, it can never be. Thank you to the people who serve this country in the mean time. I'm sure peace would be much harder to imagine without you.
I am humbled by the sacrifices made by individuals and their families for the good of this country. There may be people who would like to change things about America, but we sure don't see masses of citizens moving to countries they think are better. We live in the best country in the world, thanks to our men and women in the armed services.

In Our Machine Masters, New York Times columnist David Brooks imagi
Since my return from the Code for America 2014 Summit I have replayed – virtually and literally – the images of the presenters. One image keeps recurring – the image of creative young women working with users to craft techie tools that solve real-life human needs. For so many of these young women the story was not so much about the tool but about the ways in which the app improved someone's life. That implicit purpose seemed uniquely explicit in the presentations of dozens of young female coders.
The challenge of genuine, sustained, respectful collaboration, both the hope and the life blood of the information age, fascinates me. Over time I have learned to value viable collaboration and to celebrate the power of a diverse community of human beings who share the serious work it takes to identify, then achieve, a common purpose. I understand that collaboration is organic. More important, I appreciate that, while people and organizations will pay for goods and services, no one wants to pay for collaboration.
Today I spent the day at Farmfest. Originally I had planned to attend the Broadband Task Force meeting at Farm Fest but the meeting was cancelled; I figured this was a good opportunity to learn more about broadband and agriculture business as well as get a broad take on the priority folks in agriculture place on broadband.

Andrew Solomon, award-winning author, will give a reading as part of the Working Writers Series on Thursday, April 4 at 7:30 p.m. in Rehm Library at the College of the Holy Cross. The event, sponsored by the College's Creative Writing Program and the W.H. Jenks Chair in Contemporary Letters at the College, is free and open to the public.
Solomon is a writer and lecturer on psychology, politics, and the arts. His most recent book, "Far From the Tree: Parents, Children, and the Search for Identity," published by Scribner last November, tells the stories of families coping with deafness, dwarfism, Down syndrome, autism, schizophrenia, multiple severe disabilities, with children who are prodigies, who were conceived in rape, who become criminals, who are transgender. President Bill Clinton said of the book, "In 'Far from the Tree,' Andrew Solomon reminds us that nothing is more powerful in a child's development than the love of a parent. This remarkable new book introduces us to mothers and fathers across America–many in circumstances the rest of us can hardly imagine—who are making their children feel special, no matter what challenges come their way."
Solomon's earlier books include "The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression" (Scribner, 2001), which won the 2001 National Book Award for Nonfiction and was a finalist for the 2002 Pulitzer Prize; "The Irony Tower: Soviet Artists in a Time of Glasnost" (Knopf, 1991); and "A Stone Boat" (Plume, 1996), a national bestselling novel which tells the story of a man's shifting identity as he watches his mother battle cancer, and which was a runner up for the L.A. Times First Fiction prize.
He has written for New York Times Magazine and The New Yorker, and his work has been featured on National Public Radio's "Moth Radio Hour," NBC's "TODAY" and "Rock Center with Brian Williams," and "Charlie Rose" on PBS.

WEDNESDAY, Oct. 19 (HealthDay News) -- For patients with HIV and tuberculosis, initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) early after starting tuberculosis treatment improves survival in those with CD4+ T-cell counts of less than 50/mm³, according to three studies published in the Oct. 20 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
Francois-Xavier Blanc, M.D., Ph.D., from Bicêtre Hospital in Le Kremlin-Bicêtre, France, and colleagues investigated whether the timing of ART initiation affects mortality in antiretroviral-naive adults with newly diagnosed tuberculosis. Patients were randomized to ART two (earlier) or eight (later) weeks after starting tuberculosis treatment. The median CD4+ T-cell count was 25/mm³. The risk of death was significantly reduced in the earlier treatment group compared to the later group (hazard ratio, 0.62).
In a second study, Diane V. Havlir, M.D., from the University of California in San Francisco, and colleagues compared earlier and later ART in HIV-1 infected patients with CD4" T-cell counts of less than 250/mm³ and suspected tuberculosis. For patients with a median baseline CD4+ T-cell count of less than 50 per cubic millimeter, significantly fewer patients died in the earlier versus later groups (15.5 versus 26.6 percent). In a third study, Salim S. Abdool Karim, M.B., Ch.B., Ph.D., from the Center for AIDS Programme of Research in Durban, South Africa, and colleagues found that early initiation of ART (within four weeks of the start of tuberculosis treatment) in patients with CD" T-cell counts of less than 50/mm³ increased AIDS-free survival.
"We found that early initiation of ART in patients with CD4+ T-cell counts of less than 50 per cubic millimeter increased AIDS-free survival," Abdool Karim and colleagues write.
One author from the Blanc study disclosed financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry. The Havlir study was funded by Gilead Sciences and Merck Pharmaceuticals.

) suffered a major setback with the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) issued a Complete Response Letter (CRL) for
its multiple sclerosis drug, Lemtrada. The company was looking to
get the drug approved for relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis.
The FDA mentioned in the CRL that there is not enough evidence
from adequate and well-controlled studies that Lemtrada possesses
a positive benefit-risk profile. The FDA has asked Sanofi to
conduct additional studies with one or more active comparator
with a different design from the ones previously conducted.
We remind investors that Lemtrada's phase III program comprised
two pivotal phase III studies, which were completed in 2011. In
the first study, CARE-MS I, Lemtrada met the first primary
endpoint. Results showed that treatment with two annual cycles of
Lemtrada as compared to Rebif resulted in a 55% reduction in the
relapse rate over the two-year span of the study.
In the second study, CARE-MS II, Lemtrada met both the primary
endpoints. Results showed that treatment with Lemtrada resulted
in a 49% reduction in the relapse rate compared to Rebif, over a
two-year period. Additionally, Lemtrada showed a 42%
reduction in the risk of sustained accumulation (worsening) of
Lemtrada is already approved in the EU, Canada and Australia.
However, the U.S. regulatory approval path has been rocky since
the start. In Aug 2012, the FDA had issued a refuse-to-file
letter in relation to the marketing application for Lemtrada
following which the company resubmitted its marketing application
in Jan 2013.
Our Take
The CRL for Lemtrada is a huge disappointment for Sanofi. The
company plans to appeal the FDA's decision. It is a setback for

'Octomom' pleads not guilty to welfare fraud charges
In this May 19, 2010 this file photo, Nadya Suleman stands outside her home in La Habra, Calif. (AP / Damian Dovarganes)
John Rogers, The Associated Press
Published Friday, January 17, 2014 10:18AM EST
Last Updated Friday, January 17, 2014 5:03PM EST
LOS ANGELES -- "Octomom" Nadya Suleman pleaded not guilty Friday to charges of failing to report $30,000 that authorities say she was earning when she applied for public assistance benefits.
The 38-year-old single mother of 14 children was released on her own recognizance after arraignment in Los Angeles County Superior Court on three counts of welfare fraud.
She was ordered to report to the county's early disposition court on Feb. 3, where Deputy District Attorney Bill Clark said authorities will try to resolve the case without a trial.
"If she can pay the money back, that makes a big difference," he said.
Suleman, dressed in a dark blue pantsuit, her hair piled up in a bun, appeared before Judge Roberto Longoria for only a couple of minutes. She spoke just one word, a barely audible, "Yes," when the judge asked if she understood she was waiving her right to a preliminary hearing.
Immediately afterward Suleman, her attorney Arthur J. La Cilento and two other people quickly left the courtroom, escorted down a hallway by bailiffs who kept them from reporters.
Authorities say Suleman failed to disclose residuals from videos and money she was paid for personal appearances when she applied for welfare last year.
"She was running short on money. She went to the Los Angeles County Department of Social Services and asked for food stamps," Clark told reporters outside court. "And they gave them to her."
Soon after, he said, authorities got several calls from people reporting she was earning money during the time she was collecting the welfare.
While she might have qualified for some public assistance during that time, he said, authorities calculated that she collected $16,000 more than she should have and they want that back.
"That's taxpayer money," he said.
She is charged with one count of aid by misrepresentation and two counts of perjury by false application. If convicted, she could face five years and eight months in prison.
But Clark indicated it was unlikely she would face that much, if any, time behind bars.
"She's got 14 children. We'll try and work out a deal for her," he said.
Suleman, whose real name is Natalie Denise Suleman, shot to fame on Jan. 26, 2009, when she gave birth at a Southern California hospital to eight children, who quickly became the world's longest-surviving octuplets.
Like her six older children, they were all conceived by in-vitro fertilization. She has never disclosed the identity of the father.
After learning that her physician had actually implanted 12 embryos in her womb, the state Medical Board revoked his license.
Almost from the beginning, she struggled to support the additional children. She defaulted on payments on a house she bought in 2010, and the lender foreclosed.
She has found ways to make money: doing a porn video, posing topless for various publications, dancing in a Florida strip club and taking part in so-called celebrity boxing matches. One of her boxing opponents was Amy Fisher, the former "Long Island Lolita" who was 17 when she shot her much older lover's wife in the face in 1992.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals paid Suleman $5,000 and gave her a month's supply of vegetarian hot dogs and hamburgers in 2010 for endorsing birth control for dogs and cats.

Rather than play with 11 when I know that right now that person is not sold out to be a part of this team. It is more about them than it is about the team. Cannot play with them. Cannot win with them.""Them" was of course "him", one Vernon Davis. At the time, Davis' potential-laden career was dissipating before the eyes of the Golden Gate faithful. A trade was discussed.

'Scream' Mask Gets "Darker," More "Organic" Redesign for MTV Series
Posted on Monday, November 17th, 2014 by Angie Han
What's a Friday the 13th without Jason, a Nightmare on Elm Street without Freddy, or a Scream without Ghostface? Well, we have no idea about the first two, but we're about to find out about the last one.
Last month, word got around that MTV's Scream TV series would not involve the iconic Ghostface mask. Instead, we've now learned, it'll debut a more "organic" new mask. Meaning it'll possibly be made of flesh. Ew. More details on the Scream TV series mask after the jump.

Rams Have Two First Round Picks on ThursdayST. LOUIS (AP) - The pricey Robert Griffin III trade was worth it to the Washington Redskins. The St. Louis Rams consider themselves the real winners in the deal, and they're not done getting paid off.
The Rams gave up the second overall pick in 2012 to move down just four spots. In return, they got a massive influx of young talent including a pair of rookie starters in defensive tackle Michael Brockers and cornerback Janoris Jenkins.
In addition to their 16th pick Thursday night, the Rams have the Redskins' 22nd selection plus Washington's first-rounder in 2014.
They still need to stockpile a 7-8-1 team that made a six-win improvement under new coach Jeff Fisher. They could look to replace departed running back Steven Jackson, but just as easily could repeat last April's maneuvering.

This application is a continuation of Ser. No. 08/854,360 filed on May 12, 1997, now abandoned.
The present invention relates to conveyor belts and in particular to an accessible tensioner for tightening a conveyor belt and to a guide for aligning the belt of a conveyor along the center of a conveyor frame.
Conveyors having moving belts which extend around rollers are frequently constructed such that the distal end of the conveyor is positioned immediately adjacent another piece of equipment, or a second conveyor, with a minimum of space between the distal end of the conveyor and the succeeding process or conveyor. For the smooth operation of such a conveyor, periodic adjustments are required to take up slack in the belt. The manufacturers of existing conveyor belts, however, provide that the tensioner is adjusted from the distal end of the conveyor assembly. The adjustment of existing tensioners requires that one turn a takeup screw positioned below the distal end of the conveyor belt. However, where the distal end of the conveyor belt abuts a adjacent equipment, or a second conveyor, that equipment may block access to the takeup screws. Under such circumstances, a technician may have to disassemble surrounding equipment to adjust the tension of a conveyor belt.
The operation of the conveyor requires not only that slack be taken up, but that the belt be moved longitudinally between the parallel frame members which support the rollers along which the belt moves. Movement of the belt to either side of the rollers will cause damage to the belt and reduce the efficiency of the conveyor. To ensure that a conveyor belt will remain centered along the conveyor, and not shift to one side, it is well known to provide protrusions along the inner surface of the belt and a track between the frame members such that the protrusion can move within the track under the belt, such as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 1,692,832, to provide centering of the belt.
In most circumstances, the provision of a protrusion along the lower surface of a belt and a track down the center of the frame is sufficient to maintain the alignment of a belt. There are circumstances, however, when lateral forces are applied to the belt causing the belt to shift as far to one side of the frame as the protrusions and the groove configuration will permit thereby causing the belt to be off center. Such misalignment can reduce the effectiveness of the conveyor.
It would be desirable, therefore, to provide a tensioner for a conveyor which is accessible from above the frame such that it can be adjusted without requiring that the adjacent equipment be disassembled. It would also be desirable to provide a guide for a conveyor belt which can be laterally adjusted to compensate for lateral forces.
Briefly, the present invention is embodied in a conveyor belt tensioner for a conveyor having parallel frame members between which are supported a plurality of rollers. Such conveyors have a takeup member slidably mounted on the distal end of the frames for movement in a first direction relative to the frame. A roller is rotatably mounted between the takeup members such that movement of the takeup members moves the roller to tighten or loosen the belt wrapped around the rollers of the conveyor.
In accordance with the present invention, an improved tensioner is provided for adjustably moving the takeup members with respect to the frame members to thereby alter the tension within the conveyor belt. The improved tensioner includes a push block having a push surface and rotatably attached to the push block is a threaded adjustment screw. In the preferred embodiment, the attachment of the adjustment screw to the push block includes a ball socket having a threaded annular mouth. The distal end of the threaded adjustment screw has a ball, with the outer surface of the ball threaded complementary to the threads of the mouth of the ball socket. Accordingly, the ball of the adjustment screw can be threaded through the mouth and into the socket. When the ball has been threaded beyond the threads of the mouth, the ball will be free to pivot within the socket and to rotate around the axis of the screw.
An angled threaded bore is provided in either the frame or the takeup member into which the threaded takeup screw is inserted. A surface is provided on the other of the frame or the takeup member against which the push surface of the push block is positioned. The rotation of the takeup screw will then apply pressure through the push block to longitudinally adjust the takeup member with respect to the frame member.
In accordance with the preferred embodiment, the member having the threaded hole for receiving the takeup screw further has a longitudinal guide oriented parallel to the axis of the takeup screw for guiding movement of the push block. The guide may be a ramped surface along which the push block is slidable. Preferably, the adjustment screw and guide are aligned at approximately 30 degrees to the longitudinal axis of the frame.
To ensure that the threaded ball does not thread itself out of the socket while the adjustment screw is being turned, the axis of the threads in the mouth of the socket is aligned at a five degree angle with respect to the axis of the adjustment screw when the push block is positioned on the guide. Also, the ball and complementary threaded mouth are provided with reverse threads. Therefore, when the threaded screw is being turned counterclockwise, to draw the push block away from the surface of the opposing member, the ball cannot unthread through the mouth.
The conveyor has parallel frame members joined by a plurality of cross members, each of which has an adjustable guide member slidably mounted thereto. Each of the guide members has an upper surface with an indentation therein, such that the indentations can be aligned with each other to form a track. By adjusting the guide members, the track can be positioned off the center line between the frame members.
Extending longitudinally along the lower surface of the conveyor belt is a ridge having a cross sectional shape complementary to the cross sectional shape of the ridge along the lower surface of the belt. The ridge of the belt will be received in the indentations of the guides to provide centering along the conveyor. If a transverse load is applied to the conveyor the guides can be laterally adjusted to maintain the centering of the conveyor belt between the frame members.
A better understanding of the present invention will be had by a reading of the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is an isometric transparent view of a conveyor constructed in accordance with the present invention with the belt removed to show the interior parts thereof;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged isometric view of the distal end of one frame member and an attached tensioner for the conveyor shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged exploded isometric view of the tensioner member and components shown in FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the end of the takeup screw fitted into the socket of the push block shown in FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is an isometric view of one of the cross members for the conveyor shown in FIG. 1 with a laterally adjustable guide attached thereto;
FIG. 6 is a side view of the guide shown in FIG. 5;
FIG. 7 is a plan view of the cross member and guide shown in FIG. 5 and a cross sectional view of the conveyor belt engaged with the guide;
FIG. 8 is a side cross sectional view of the guide and cross member shown in FIG. 5;
FIG. 9 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of the longitudinally adjustable guide of the invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, a conveyor 10 is defined by parallel frame members 12, 14, which are maintained in proper alignment by cross members 16, 18, 20. At the inner end of the conveyor 10 is a motorized drive assembly 22 which is drivingly engaged with a drive roller 24. At the distal ends of the frame members 12, 14 are takeup members 26, 28, respectively, each of which is adapted to slide longitudinally and parallel to the axis 30 of the conveyor. Extending between the takeup members 26, 28, is a takeup roller 32.
Positioned midway along each of the cross members 16, 18, 20 are guide blocks 34, 36, 38 as further described below. Also, centrally located around the circumference of the drive roller 24 and the takeup roller 32 are annular grooves 40, 42, respectively for receiving a protrusion along the inner surface of a conveyor belt, not shown. To adjust the tension of a belt fitted over the rollers 24, 32, the takeup members 26, 28 are adjusted longitudinally, that is, in a direction parallel with the axis 30 of the conveyor 10.
Referring to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, the takeup members 26, 28 are mirror images of each other and, except for the direction of the threading of screws and the like. The frame member 12 is typically made of an extruded metal, such as aluminum, and has a generally planar upper surface 44, a generally planar lower surface, not visible, and a plurality of longitudinal grooves 48, 48, extruded into the length thereof. The distal end 50 of the frame member 12 defines a plane generally perpendicular to the axis 30 of the conveyor 10. Fitted around the distal end 50 of the frame member 12 is a cast aluminum takeup member 26. The takeup member 26 has upper and lower plates 54, 56, respectively, between which extends a vertically oriented web 58. Near the distal end of the takeup member 26 is a circular transverse hole 60 for receiving the outer end and bearing of a takeup roller 32. The inner surfaces of the upper and lower plates 54, 56 are spaced apart a distance a little greater than the height of the frame member 12 such that the takeup member 26 will fit slidably around the distal end of the frame member 12.
Cast into the inner surface of the takeup member 26 is a ramp surface 62 which is perpendicular to the web 58 and is oriented at an angle 64 with a line 65 parallel to the axis 30 of the conveyor 10 which is approximately 30 degrees. Extending through the upper plate 54, parallel to the ramp surface 62 and parallel to the web 58 is a threaded bore 66 having an axis 67. Finally, extending through the web 58 are a plurality of transverse holes 68--68 for receiving screws which can be threaded into nuts, not shown, retained in grooves 48 in the outer surface of the frame member 12 to retain the takeup member 26 with respect to the frame member 12 against relative movement between the parts.
As best shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, to adjust the takeup of the conveyor, a push block 72 is fitted against the distal end 50 of the frame member 12 and rotatably attached to the push block 72 is a takeup screw 74. As best shown in FIG. 3, the takeup screw 74 has a cylindrical threaded body 76, an inner end 78 having a hexagon recess therein for receiving the end of an allen wrench, and a distal end 80.
As best shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the push block 72 may be made of any suitable material, including molded plastic, and has a central opening for receiving a mounting member 82 therein, which is secured by any appropriate means such as an adhesive. The mounting member 82 is preferably made of metal, the outer surfaces of which are sized to be received in the opening 84 of the push block 72 and the inner portions of which define a ball socket 86 having an annular mouth 88 with threadings therein. The distal end 80 of the takeup screw 74 includes a ball 90 with threadings 92 on the outer surface thereof which are complementary to the threadings of the mouth 88 in the mounting member 82.
In the preferred embodiment, the threadings around the ball 90 and within the mouth 88 are reversed whereas the threadings of the body 76 and the bore 66 of the takeup screw are conventional. Also, as best shown in FIG. 4, the axis 93 of the threadings of the mouth 88 and, therefore, the orientation of the ball socket 86 is at an angle 94 which is at least five degrees away from the axis 67 of the thread bore 66 when the lower surface 96 of the push block is fitted against the ramp surface 62. As a result of the foregoing, the ball 90 can be threaded through the annular mouth 88 and into the ball socket 86 as shown. Once the ball 90 is inserted into the socket 86 and the lower surface 96 of the push block 22 is positioned on the ramp surface 62, the threadings of the ball 90 will be misoriented with respect to the threadings of the mouth 88, and the ball 90 cannot be withdrawn or unthreaded from the socket 86. Even if the two parts were aligned, the reverse threadings of the ball 90 and mouth 88 would prevent the ball 90 from becoming threaded through mouth 88 while the screw 74 is being turned to withdraw the push block 72.
To adjust the tension of a belt extending around the conveyor, the side bolts extending into holes 68--68 retaining the takeup members 26, 28 to the frame members 12, 14 are loosened such that the takeup members 26, 28 may be longitudinally adjusted by rotation of the adjustment screws 74. Thereafter, an allen wrench or the like is used to rotate the adjustment screws which are reachable from the upper surface of the conveyor as shown. Rotation of the adjustment screws will force the push block 72 outward along the ramp surface 62 or retract the push block 72 inward along the surface, thereby allowing the takeup members 26, 28 to be adjusted longitudinally with respect to the frame members 12, 14. After the parts have been properly adjusted, the side bolts may again be tightened to retain the takeup members to the frame members.
Referring to FIGS. 5, 6, 7 and 8, to retain a belt 100 midway between the frame members 12, 14 when the belt is subjected to lateral forces, guide blocks 34, 36, 38 are provided on each of the cross members 16, 18, 20 of which the guide block 34 on cross member 16 is representative.
Each of the guide members 34 has a generally rectangular shaped body through which a central transverse hole 104 is positioned. At the upper end of the body is a groove 106 contoured to receive a longitudinal protrusion 108 in the lower surface of the conveyor belt 100. Extending horizontally across the rear side of the guide member 34 is a centrally located rib 110.
The cross members 16 of the conveyor are provided with longitudinal grooves 112 for slidably receiving a nut 114 into which a screw 116 can be threaded. The guide member 34 is secured to the cross member 16 by inserting the rib 110 on the rear side thereof into the groove 112 and threading the screw 116 through the hole 104 and into a nut retained within the groove 112. As can be seen, if transverse forces applied to the belt 110 cause it to be shifted towards one of the frame members 12, 14, the guide blocks 34, 36, 38 can be adjusted laterally by loosening the associated screw 116 and sliding the blocks along the cross members 16, 18, 20 to a suitable position to compensate for the transverse forces. Thereafter, the screw 116 can be tightened. The protrusion 108 of the belt 110 within the grooves 106 of the guide blocks will thereafter maintain the desired positioning of the belt between the frame members 12, 14.
Referring to FIG. 9, a second embodiment of the longitudinally adjustable guide block is shown at 118. Like the first embodiment, it includes a generally rectangular body having a central transverse aperture 120 therethrough. A top central groove 122 on guide block 118 performs the same function as groove 106 on guide block 34. However, guide block 118 includes groove shoulders 124, 126 that extend partly over the top of cross member 16 to give added strength to the block.
While two embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that many changes and modifications may be made without departing from the true spirit and scope of the present invention. It is the intent of the appended claims to cover all such changes and modifications which fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.

Former LSU students debut 'King of Herrings' at New Orleans Film Festival
BATON ROUGE, LA (FOX44) — Some former LSU students are in the Big Easy this week for the debut of their feature film at the New Orleans film festival...
"King of Herrings " is an off beat look at four regular crescent city guys who dream big in a small world. It's been described as woody-allen-esque, a comparison directors Eddie Jemmison and Sean Richardson find flattering. However, what makes the premiere so exciting for them is the fact that it's happening in the place that inspired so much of the realism you'll find in the film's charachters.
The film will be shown at the festival on Sunday, Oct. 13 at 5:00 p.m. and then again on Oct. 15 at 3:45 p.m. Tickets go on sale Tuesday, Oct. 8. Click here for more information.
