BEIJING (May 24) - Despite a possible scientific breakthrough linking SARS to animals, the disease continued to vex health authorities trying to contain it Saturday. Asia reported progress in slowing the pace of infection, but authorities in Toronto reported a cluster of about 20 possible new cases. U.S. health officials issued another travel alert for Canada's largest city. The alert came as a harsh blow for Toronto, which was removed from the World Health Organization's list of SARS-affected areas last week after apparently snuffing out the biggest outbreak outside of Asia. The alert from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention asks Americans to take precautions but stops short of advising against travel to Toronto. For the first time since late March, no new cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome were reported in Hong Kong during the previous 24 hours on Saturday. Taiwan had no new deaths for a second day in a row and just ten new cases, and Beijing announced a ``notable downward trend.'' SARS has spread to more than 8,000 people around the globe, and killed nearly 700, the vast majority of them in Asia. Researchers in Hong Kong have found evidence of the SARS virus in three types of small mammals including the civet cat, which is eaten as a delicacy by some Chinese. But WHO said Friday it cannot rule out the possibility the animals acquired the virus from humans. Singapore is culling some of the island's estimated 80,000 stray cats as part of a nationwide hygiene campaign to control SARS, but authorities said it was not linked to the recent findings. Civet cats are from the same animal family as ferrets. On Friday, the WHO lifted its advisories warning against travel to Hong Kong and China's southern Guangdong province, where the disease was first detected. Hong Kong's financial secretary, Antony Leung, toasted the end of the warning, which had devastated the economy. The front page of one newspaper showed Leung grinning outside a bar, beer in hand and two blonde women planting kisses on each cheek. ``Hong Kong smiles again,'' the Chinese-language Apple Daily declared on page one. ``What a difference a day makes,'' said the English-language South China Morning Post. Hong Kong has reported 260 deaths from SARS and 1,724 cases. No new cases were reported Saturday, but two more people died from the disease. The WHO still advises against travel to Beijing and four other Chinese regions, as well as to Taiwan. In Taiwan, health officials said the pace of infection appeared to be slowing, and the death toll remained at 60. ``The situation has stabilized, so people can begin resuming normal lives,'' said Lee Ming-liang, head of the Taiwan SARS Control Committee. China offered to send Taiwan medical experts with experience fighting SARS, along with 100,000 surgical masks, 200,000 protective suits and five ambulances customized to prevent air that might be infected with the virus from escaping. There was no immediate response from Taiwan, whose officials have complained bitterly that China has interfered with international attempts to help. China claims Taiwan as its own territory and insists international bodies seek Beijing's permission before assisting the island. In Beijing, the hardest-hit region in the world, city spokesman Cai Fuchao said new cases in the city were on a ``notable downward trend,'' although the Health Ministry later announced a slight uptick in infections. Beijing accounts for roughly half of China's more than 5,309 cases and 308 deaths, although new cases fell to only about 13 a day this week. China announced five new deaths - three from Beijing - and 34 new cases Saturday. In Malaysia, 19 Malaysia Airlines crew members were quarantined after staying in the same Taiwanese hotel as an American doctor who was rushed to the United States on Friday after developing a fever and other symptoms. None of the crew members showed any symptoms, and the 10-day quarantine order was a precautionary measure, said Ismail Merican, deputy director-general of health. 05/24/03 07:23 EDT Copyright 2003 The Associated Press.

HE MAKES IT THROUGH THE IRAC WAR AND DIES CHASHING A FOOTBALL??? WTF!!!!!! NORFOLK, Va. (May 26) - The air and sea search continued for a sailor missing from a Navy vessel returning from Iraq, and another sailor was presumed dead after falling into the Atlantic Ocean about 900 miles off the Virginia coast. Petty Officer 1st Class Shaun Dale was reported missing Sunday morning aboard the USS Nassau, said Lt. Cmdr. Dave Werner, spokesman for the Atlantic Fleet. A search also was being conducted aboard the 833-foot amphibious assault ship, which has a crew of 964 and is transporting 1,900 Marines to North Carolina, then heading to its homeport of Norfolk. Asked if Dale could be onboard, Werner said, ''It's a very large ship and they are actively searching inside the ship.'' On Friday, Petty Officer 3rd Class Dwayne Williams, 23, of Philadelphia, fell from the Nassau while chasing a football, officials said. Cmdr. Ernest Duplessis, a spokesman for the Navy's Second Fleet, confirmed Sunday that the Navy had ended its search and that Williams' body had not been recovered. Williams had been in the Navy for nearly four years. Williams' mother, Betty Williams, wanted more information from military officials and said she might hire a lawyer. ''I'm not satisfied with the way the military handled telling me how he had passed. It wasn't done in a respectable way,'' she said. ''They (are) making it sound like he was up on top of the deck messing around.'' ''I want to have closure for my child. I want to know when, how he was up on top of that deck with no protection.'' Williams, 23, was born in Kinston, N.C. in eastern North Carolina. His family moved to Philadelphia when Dwayne was 10. Betty Williams was staying with family in Kinston on Sunday. Capt. Terry O'Brien said it was possible Dale had been injured or incapacitated and was still on the ship. The Nassau reversed its heading and searched for him, as did several aircraft. The search has involved helicopters from the Nassau and a fixed-wing C-130 Coast Guard search and rescue aircraft. ''Multiple searches have found nothing,'' Werner said. Werner said the seas were swelling 5 to 7 feet and were about 70 degrees. Werner said Dale listed a home address as Newport News, Va. A call to a listing under S. Dale was not answered Sunday night. Dale's family had been notified of the search, Werner said. Capt. Russell Tjepkema said Williams was wearing coveralls and boots, which would have weighed him down, and did not have a lifejacket. He told CNN that the crew threw Williams a float and sent a rescue boat within 5 minutes. Rescuers found the float and searched for Williams until it became too dark to continue trying, he said. The Nassau is scheduled to drop off the 24th Marine Expeditionary Force in North Carolina and return to Norfolk on Thursday, Duplessis said.
