CASA GRANDE, Ariz. A Jan. 24 Pinal County Superior Court arraignment has been scheduled for an Iraqi man in a killing and in the unrelated Nov. 30 detonation of a homemade explosive device outside a Social Security Administration office.
The Casa Grande Dispatch reports that the arraignment of Abdullatif Ali Aldosary will follow his Dec. 9 sentencing in federal court in Phoenix on his conviction last month of federal charges of being a felon in possession of guns and ammunition.
Aldosary was charged in July with murder and other crimes in the Nov. 27, 2012, killing of Orlando Requena, an employee at the Arizona Grain processing facility in Maricopa. Aldosary had worked there.
He also will enter pleas to attempted first-degree murder charges in the Social Security bombing in Casa Grande.

Israel's situation, strategy in Obama's second term
By BARRY RUBIN
11/11/2012 22:27
The Region: For the first time in more than four decades, Israeli leaders – and not just Netanyahu – understand that the country cannot depend on the United States as a protector.

"Don't Panic" –
Douglas Adams
, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
What should Israel's policy and priorities be during President Barack Obama's second term? There will be two key themes: minimize antagonism and cope with the negative consequences of US regional policy.
Protect bilateral relations
Israel's government must ensure continued US aid, intelligence-sharing, and other forms of cooperation. Obama will almost certainly maintain these programs. This status quo is protected by support for Israel in Congress and the Defense Department. Whatever verbal friction or temporary tempests taking place – including signs of Obama's personal dislike for Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu – should not change this.
Keep Obama from damaging Israel's situation in regard to the Palestinians
Obama must decide whether to put a priority on the Israel-Palestinian "peace process," meaning pressure on Israel to make concessions while the Palestinian Authority doesn't keep its commitments and makes no compromises.
Obama probably won't behave this way. His botched attempt at Israel- Palestinian peacemaking during the first term is the only such failure he has ever acknowledged. Obama knows success is unlikely and that neither the PA nor Arab states will help him.
There are many more pressing issues for the US. Dramatic changes in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya and Syria, among other places, take center stage. When Obama wants to show the United States isn't too close to Israel, thinking that will make Muslims like him, he can do so with relatively symbolic, minor measures.
At any rate, the Israeli government is quite capable of offering cooperation, making concessions on relatively unimportant issues, stalling for time, and essentially calling the PA's bluff. It should be added that by creating a far more dangerous regional situation, Obama has made major Israeli concessions on territory unthinkable. In the end, though, nothing will happen on the peace process front.
How will Obama handle a regional situation increasingly characterized by revolutionary Islamist movements in power or battling for it?
Radical regimes now exist in Egypt, the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, Tunisia and Turkey, though Obama doesn't see this. Obama is going to be supportive of these governments, excepting Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Even there, Hamas benefits from US help and tolerance for its allied regime in Egypt.
Given Obama's policy, the Islamists are likely to become stronger. Aside from consolidation and increasing confidence for those five governments, the most likely Islamist advance is the seizure of power in Syria.
And since these same people are dedicated to Israel's destruction and often speak openly about committing genocide against Jews generally, a US policy that is simultaneously weak and friendly toward its most fanatical enemies is a huge strategic problem for Israel.
During Obama's second term, Israel is likely to face sporadic attacks from the Gaza Strip against which it will periodically have to retaliate. Obama will remain aloof, issuing statements but giving no real support. This isn't a good situation, but it is a manageable one.
The real difficulty would come if Hamas launches an all-out attack on Israel as it did in late 2008. But this time there would be a significant difference.
Hamas can expect some level of Egyptian support. That could take many forms: Hamas headquarters, weapon storehouses and other facilities being moved onto Egyptian territory so that Israel cannot touch them; a massive flow of arms, weapons and money across the border financed in part by the ruling Muslim Brotherhood; an influx of Egyptian volunteers to fight alongside Hamas, whose death would lead to howls of revenge in Egypt and other such measures.
Beyond this, Egypt could escalate into allowing – it is already doing little to prevent them – cross-border terrorist attacks on Israel. It is conceivable that demands from Salafists and Muslim Brotherhood cadre, the regime's own revolutionary enthusiasm, the need to distract popular attention from domestic failures, and ideological hysteria, could cause Egypt to end up in a war-like situation or even an open war with Israel.
That would be more likely if Israel had to send military forces into the Gaza Strip as happened in 2009.
The Egyptian military, the only bulwark against such an adventurous Egyptian policy, has already been tamed by the Muslim Brotherhood regime and Israel cannot depend on the United States to press sufficiently hard for enforcement of the treaty or to deter Egypt.
As a result, Israel will have to be ready to fight such a smaller or bigger war by itself. If a Muslim Brotherhood- dominated regime were to be in power in Syria, it could join in.
In fact, for the first time in almost 40 years, under Obama, Israel cannot depend on real US support or protection against any Arab threat or aggression. And so Israel, while striving to get Obama to do as much as possible, will just have to take care of itself. It is capable of doing so.
Although it is possible to pretend differently, the reality is that Obama will never attack Iranian nuclear installations or support an Israeli attack. This situation, among other factors, makes an Israeli attack on Iran extremely unlikely. That in itself is not necessarily a bad thing. The problem is that Obama will not launch a credible and systematic effort to contain Iran's aggressive policy, as opposed to putting in place early-warning stations and defensive missiles in the Gulf and making verbal threats of retaliation.
Ironically, the solution – aside from Israel's own defensive efforts – is the very Sunni Islamist power that also threatens Israel. Given the rise of Sunni Islamism and the Syrian civil war, Iran's influence is going to be largely restricted to Lebanon and, to a lesser extent, Iraq.
But what if Israel perceives a credible threat from a nuclear-armed Iran? How much help can it expect from Obama? Of course, he will say the right things. Yet the US judgment on what constitutes a real threat which must be countered even by military force is going to differ sharply from that of Israel. As long as it is just a question of Iran getting nuclear weapons, that disagreement matters less. If it comes to a possibility of Iran using nuclear weapons that gap will be a matter of life and death.
So Obama's reelection is a serious problem for Israel, albeit not a catastrophe or a threat to the state's existence.
For the first time in more than four decades, Israeli leaders – and not just Netanyahu – understand that the country cannot depend on the United States as a protector.

The longest draft among the major North American sports leagues, Major League Baseball's selection process lasts 40 rounds. It began Thursday night with the Houston Astros selecting left-hander Brady Aiken out of Cathedral Catholic High School in San Diego, and it concluded Saturday with the St. Louis Cardinals choosing right-hander Davis Ward from Ouachita Baptist University in Arkansas as the 1,215th pick.
In between, Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel was drafted by the San Diego Padres, and the sons of Cal Ripken Jr. and Mariano Rivera were selected.
A team-by-team recap of the draft:
The Diamondbacks could not believe their good fortune when high school RHP Touki Toussaint was available with their first-round pick, No. 16 overall. They had him rated as one of the draft's top five pitchers, and they were certain he would be gone by the time they selected. Toussaint struck out 86 in 45 innings at Coral Springs (Fla.) Christian Academy this season. He has signed a letter-of-intent to attend Vanderbilt, but the D-backs don't believe that will be an issue. Arizona took pitchers with 28 of its 42 picks, selecting Ardmore (Okla.) High LHP Cody Reed in the second round.
LHP Kyle Freeland, a Denver native who went to the University of Evansville, was the eighth overall pick in the draft. He throws a 90-93 mph fastball with a slider his best secondary pitch. In Competitive Balance Round A, the Rockies made Forest Wall from Orangewood (Fla.) Christian School the 35th overall pick and the highest-drafted high school second baseman since the draft went to one phase in 1987. Wall has had two shoulder injuries. He runs very well, has a consistent left-handed swing and projects to be an offensive second baseman. The Rockies selected 22 pitchers, 16 right-handers and six left-handers, plus three catchers, 11 infielders and four outfielders.
Picking 22nd overall, the Dodgers drafted RHP Grant Holmes from Conway (S.C.) High School. He has a mid-90s fastball and the best curveball among all high school pitchers in the draft and a developing changeup. In the second round, the Dodgers took OF Alex Verdugo, who throws left-handed and is a two-way player from Sahuaro (Ariz.) High School. He is a better prospect as a pitcher but loves to hit, so the Dodgers will give him a chance to play center field. The Dodgers drafted 21 pitchers, including six with their first 10 picks. Los Angeles selected a pitcher with its first pick in 11 of the past 12 years.
Although San Diego was criticized for taking former Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel in the 28th round (purists believe it was far too high for a fun pick), the Padres believe their overall draft was solid. SS Trea Turner of North Carolina State at 13th overall and Georgia high school CF Michael Gettys (51st overall) could be steals, and they add speed and athleticism up the middle. After taking position players in seven of the first 11 rounds to address a clear need, the Padres drafted 13 straight pitchers. Overall, they went heavily with college over high school. They believe UC Riverside SS Nick Vitter (ninth round) and Georgia high school RHP Justin Lewis (19th round) could be finds.
The Giants leaned heavily toward older players in the draft, picking 25 college players among their 40 selections, including their top three selections (Vanderbilt first-rounder Tyler Beede, Florida International catcher Aramis Garcia and Oregon State right fielder Dylan Davis). Beede, who is headed to the College World Series with the Commodores, didn't sign in 2011 after the Toronto Blue Jays made him the 21st overall pick. Three years later, he moved up seven slots. "He's someone who, I hate to set timetables on, has a chance of moving quickly," Giants assistant general manager John Barr said.
Despite taking a catcher with their first pick of the draft, the Cubs focused their draft strategy on pitching -- lots of it. With the fourth overall selection, the Cubs selected Indiana's Kyle Schwarber. Ten of the team's next 11 picks were pitchers, highlighted by the ACC's strikeout leader, Maryland's Jake Stinnett, who was taken in the second round with the 45th overall selection. Overall, the Cubs selected 21 pitchers -- four of whom were left-handers. Chicago took high school pitchers in the fourth, fifth and sixth rounds (LHPs Carson Sands and Justin Steele and RHP Dillon Cease).
The Reds selected RHP Nick Howard with the team's first pick (19th overall) in the draft. Howard, a converted third baseman/shortstop, started and closed during his career at the University of Virginia. His fastball velocity jumped to 97-98 mph in short relief. The Reds expect him to start. With the 29th selection in the first round, the Reds took Stanford power-hitting SS Alex Blandino. Cincinnati selected 23 pitchers, including eight left-handers, four catchers, four third baseman, two second baseman, two first baseman, four outfielders, and two shortstops in the draft.
The Brewers went for high-upside high school players with their first three picks, as they selected left-handed pitcher Kodi Medeiros from Hilo, Hawaii, at No. 12 overall; power-hitting shortstop Jacob Gatewood from Clovis, Calif., at No. 41; and toolsy outfielder Monte Harrison from Lee's Summit, Mo., at No. 50. Milwaukee paid over slot in signing Gatewood and Harrison for $1.8 million each. The Brewers drafted 28 pitchers, including 22 in their last 30 selections. Right-hander Jason Yamamoto, a high school pitcher from Honolulu, was picked in the 12th round after beating Medeiros in the Hawaii state playoffs.
Many analysts criticized the Pirates' draft, especially the first two picks -- Phoenix high school SS Cole Tucker at No. 24 overall and University of San Diego OF Connor Joe at No. 39. Both players were generally considered third-round talents. The Pirates' 42 selections were split almost evenly with 22 pitchers and 20 position players, but the organization leaned heavily toward experience with 33 college players as opposed to nine high school players. One intriguing pick was Kent State RHP Eric Dorsch in the 15th round. He is a Pittsburgh native who stands 6-foot-8 and weighs 270 pounds.
The Cardinals showed a tendency to target collegiate arms in the draft, starting with the club's first selection, Florida State University RHP Luke Weaver. This shouldn't be viewed as surprising, as the organization drafted college arms with its first pick in the two previous years, as well. In all, St. Louis took 23 pitchers with its 42 picks and 33 college players in total, choosing to go with more polished players over raw and big upside high schoolers. RHP Trevor Megill, selected in the third round out of Loyola Marymount University, is considered to be a tough sign and someone who will be seeking more money than his recommended slot value.
Atlanta selected a big-time high school hitting prospect, Broxton Davidson from Asheville (N.C.) T.C. Roberson High, with its first selection, the 32nd pick overall. Baseball America rated Davidson as the No. 2 first baseman available in the draft, but with All-Star Freddie Freeman entrenched there, the Braves will start Davidson in the outfield. RHP Garrett Fulenchek, a former basketball player from Howe, Texas, (pop. 5,000) has a sinking fastball that had touched 95 mph. He was one of 19 pitchers selected by the pitching-conscious Braves. INF Luke Dykstra, taken in the seventh round, is the son of former major-leaguer Lenny Dykstra.
The Marlins selected high school RHP Tyler Kolek with the second overall pick. The 6-foot-5, 270-pounds Kolek will make a formidable pairing with Marlins' top prospect, LHP Andrew Heaney, who was drafted in 2012. From there, the team turned its attention to needs outside of pitching, specifically shortstop, where there is a dearth of talent in the organization's farm system. Miami used four of its top 10 picks on the position -- three from high school and one from University of Arkansas.
Although the Mets selected 23 pitchers with their 39 picks, they went with position players at the top. Oregon State OF Michael Conforto, a power and on-base threat, was the 10th overall pick, and the Mets added Florida high school SS Milton Ramos in the third round and El Paso Community College 3B Eudor Garcia-Pacheco in the fourth round. Mets director of amateur scouting Tommy Tanous told the New York Daily News about Conforto, "He has very few weaknesses as a hitter right now."
The Phillies selected RHP Aaron Nola with the seventh pick in the first round. The LSU junior went 11-1 with a 1.47 ERA and 134 strikeouts in 116 1/3 innings over 16 starts. Nola was originally drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2011 draft but did not sign. He was among 23 pitchers selected by the Phillies, including six left-handers. Philadelphia went heavy on college players with just 10 high school players selected among the 40 picks. The Phillies chose six outfielders, four catchers, three shortstops, two second baseman, a first baseman and third baseman.
The Nationals concentrated on pitching in the draft, taking five in the first six rounds and 21 overall (seven left-handers and 14 right-handers). Washington chose UNLV Erick Fedde with the 18th overall pick even though he underwent Tommy John surgery last week. He was projected to be a top-10 pick before the surgery. Perhaps the pick that excites the Nationals more than most is C Jakson Reetz, a high school product from Norris, Neb., who was selected in the third round. In the 15th round, Washington selected 1B Ryan Ripken, the son of Cal Ripken Jr., out of Indian River State College in Florida.
Houston selected LHP Brady Aiken with the first overall pick in the draft, one of only prep players selected by the Astros among their 41 picks. The four high-schoolers chosen are the fewest in any draft in franchise history. The Astros selected 21 pitchers in all, including six lefties, and added 11 infielders and four catchers to the mix. The Astros think Derek Fisher from the University of Virginia, the first of six outfielders taken by Houston, has a chance to be special. Fisher, the team's second-round pick, has power and speed, hitting .290 at Virginia with 30 doubles, 12 triples, 17 home runs and 121 RBIs in three seasons.
The Angels, who relied on trades and free agent signings to bolster their pitching staff in recent years, selected five pitchers with their first five picks in the draft. Los Angeles chose LHP Sean Newcomb from the University of Hartford with the 15th overall pick, the club's first selection in the first round since 2011. The Angels then selected 16 pitchers on the second day of the draft. MLB Network analyst Harold Reynolds, a former major league second baseman, said that the Angels could use Newcomb as a situational reliever in a pennant race, but Angels scouting director Ric Wilson discounted that possibility.
The A's wound up with a whole lot of pitching. Nine of their first 12 picks were right-handed pitchers, although that was not the game plan going in. In the end, 18 of the 40 players that Oakland selected were pitchers. Oakland's top selection, Cal State Fullerton's Matt Chapman, is a third baseman, even though the team's top position player is 28-year-old third baseman Josh Donaldson. "He was clearly the best player left on the board at the time we picked (25th overall)," scouting director Eric Kubota said.
Seattle took San Diego high school OF Alex Jackson with the sixth overall pick, the first of three outfielders in the top 80 picks for the Mariners. Seattle went north to Canada to take Ontario prep standout Gareth Morgan, who just turned 18 in April, and found a defensive whiz in the third round in Kentucky junior Austin Cousino. While the early lean was toward the outfield, the Mariners took pitchers with their next six picks, including a 6-foot-5 left-hander, Old Dominion's Ryan Yarbrough.
The Rangers used their first eight picks of the draft on pitchers and infielders. After taking Luis Ortiz, a big right-hander whom general manager Jon Daniels said already has big-league stuff, the Rangers drafted shortstops with their next two picks. Tiquan Forbes, the 59th overall pick, is a shortstop from Columbia, Miss., and Josh Morgan is a shortstop from Orange Lutheran High School in California. Texas picked college pitchers with 16 of its 30 picks on Saturday.
LHP Carlos Rodon, the third overall selection in the draft, was the first of 18 pitchers the White Sox drafted. The emphasis on pitching provided a contrast from previous drafts, when the White Sox concentrated on position players. Half of the 18 pitchers were left-handed, but only two were chosen from high schools. Chicago heavily emphasized collegiate talent; only seven of the club's selections were high school players. Two of those were from the White Sox's Amateur City Elite (ACE) program: SS Anthony Justiniano in the 38th round and OF James Davison in the 39th.
The Indians' strategy of drafting for symmetry was evident in the order of players taken through the first six rounds. Not only did the Indians draft 19 pitchers and 23 positions players, they began it by alternating picks of position players in odd rounds and pitchers in even rounds for the first six rounds. The top two of each were OF Bradley Zimmer from the University of San Francisco in the first round and LHP Justus Sheffield from Tullahoma (Tenn.) High School in the second round.
It may have looked like a change in draft philosophy, but the selection of high school OF Derek Hill in the first round fit in with the Tigers' switch in offseason emphasis away from power to speed and defense. Detroit went back to form in the second round by nabbing right-handed power arm Spencer Turnbull of Alabama. Four of the club's next five choices were position players, however. Hill, of Elk Grove (Calif.) High, was Detroit's first outfield selection in the first round since Cameron Maybin in 2005. The only non-pitcher the Tigers drafted with their first choice since then was third baseman Nick Castellanos in 2010.
The Royals went for left-handed pitchers, picking Brandon Finnegan out of TCU and Foster Griffin out of The First Academy in Orlando, Fla., in the first round. They selected 19 pitchers, 12 of them left-handed, including Central Florida's Eric Skoglund in the third round. They drafted 3B Vance Vizcaino, son of Royals national cross checker Vance Vizcaino, in the 29th round, and 2B Diego Francisco, son of Royals assistant general manager Rene Francisco, with their final choice, 1,203rd overall. Thirty of the Royals' 42 picks were college players.
After selecting high school SS Nick Gordon with the fifth overall selection in the draft, the Twins selected a number of power arms with their remaining selections over the first 10 rounds. Highlighted by University of Louisville closer Nick Burdi, who has hit 103 mph on the radar gun with his fastball, Minnesota picked eight college pitchers in the first 10 rounds of the draft. Overall, 16 of the 19 pitchers the Twins selected were collegiate arms, many of whom throw in the mid-to-upper 90s, as the Twins continue to shift away from their "pitch-to-contact" philosophy to more of a power mentality.
The Orioles came into the draft looking for pitchers, and they stuck to that plan. They went with 27 pitchers among their 38 picks. Baltimore's first five picks were pitchers, and 20 of the selections overall were from colleges. Scouting director Gary Rajsich said the organization thought pitching was the strong point of this year's draft, so it went right after good arms. The Orioles had no picks on the first day of the draft, giving up their first two picks in compensation for signing OF Nelson Cruz and RHP Ubaldo Jimenez. LHP Brian Gonzalez, the 90th overall pick, a high school pitcher from Florida, was Baltimore's first pick.
After five years of taking college players at the top of the draft, the Red Sox selected high school players in the first two rounds. Boston went for SS Michael Chavis of Sprayberry High School in Marietta, Ga., the first round and next opted for Michael Kopech of Mount Pleasant (Texas) High, a 6-foot-4 right-hander with a fastball in the low 90s and room for growth. The Red Sox's draft included 16 high school players, five from junior colleges and 20 from four-year colleges or universities. Fifteen of the players were right-handed pitchers, three were southpaws, seven were outfielders, 10 were infielders and six were catchers.
The Yankees picked Mississippi State LHP Jacob Lindgren with their first pick, 55th overall. Lindgren went 6-1 with a 0.81 ERA in 26 relief appearances, averaging 16.3 strikeouts per nine innings. The Yankees chose 24 pitchers among their 39 selections. They selected 32 from colleges and seven out of high school. In the 29th round, they drafted the son of Mariano Rivera, a pitcher out of Iona, where he was 2-5 with a 5.40 ERA as a sophomore. "I know he comes from good bloodlines," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.
Tampa Bay used its first-round pick on Wichita State 1B Casey Gillaspie, adding a power bat to their future, but also used the next four picks on under-20 pitchers, helping build on a talented young pitching staff. Gillaspie displayed both power -- 15 home runs and 50 RBIs -- and plate discipline, leading the nation with 58 walks and ranking second in on-base percentage. Second-round pick RHP Cameron Varga, a 19-year-old from Cincinnati, went 10-0 as a high school senior with 141 strikeouts against six walks.
The Blue Jays had two first-round picks in the draft, selecting C Max Pentecost out of Kennesaw State and East Carolina RHP Jeff Hoffman. Pentecost was viewed by many as the top catcher in the draft, and that has been a weak position for Toronto over the years. Hoffman, meanwhile, had Tommy John surgery in April, so he is out for at least a year. He was considered a top-five pick before the operation, and the Blue Jays felt his upside was too much to pass on.

23-year-old Czech freestyle rider Michael Beran has reached the finals of high profile contests including the BMX Masters and Vans Rebel Jam events, and challenged the best of the best at Red Bull Skylines and the FISE X BMX Pro contest in Paris. He also currently holds the title of Czech champion in both the Street and Mini disciplines. During the winter, he travels from Europe to the US where he trains at the world famous Woodward facility. He first raced competitively in the Czech Republic in 2004, when he finished in fourth place just behind the country's top riders at Olomouc, and then finished third in the Czech Championships. In 2005, aged just 15, he attended the Freestyle World Championships - up against seasoned pros from around the world he finished a creditable 34th out of 80 entries. 'Berry', as he is known to his friends and fans, was born in 1989. As a child he tried hockey, football, basketball and judo, but none captured his interests like freestyle BMX. Indeed, he describes the moment he first saw a freestyle video as 'life-changing' and he was soon achieving astounding competition results. Berry specialises in box jumps and creating what he calls 'sick' new tricks, perfectly illustrated when he took top honours in the Best Trick contest at the 2010 Nike 6.0 BCN BMX Pro event in Barcelona, Spain, for a bikeflip to tailtap to tailwhip. And his second place in 2013's Simple Session was thanks to an amazing 360 bikeflip to tailwhip.

JOINT PRESS RELEASE FROM THE SPOKANE VALLEY POLICE DEPT. AND THE SPOKANE COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE: On the afternoon of Tuesday February 19th at 3:10 p.m., Spokane Valley Sheriff's deputies responded to a theft call in the 200 block of South Park.
Deputies contacted the owner of the trailer park as well as the park manager and learned that one of the tenants the park manager looks after, a 91-year-old female, had $10,000 stolen from her.
The park manager told deputies events earlier in the month brought paramedics to the elderly female's residence and due to the amount of clutter in the home, they commented that perhaps she needed to be in a nursing home or have someone help her clean out her home.
Being very frightful of going to a nursing home, the female agreed to have someone assist her with cleaning her trailer. The park manager believes it was at this time a female neighbor, 53-year-old Jody Scotece, overheard the conversation and began to quickly befriend the elderly female (victim).
Days later, the park manager went over to check on the victim and learned Scotece had provided power of attorney documents for the victim to sign. This raised concern on the part of the park manager and he voiced this to the female. He noticed an envelope from her bank lying on the counter and with her permission, opened the envelope to find a letter from the bank advising her of the closure and subsequent withdrawal of a $10,000 CD the day after she signed the power of attorney documents.
The female advised the park manager she didn't give permission to Scotece to make the withdrawal and he called police to make a report for the victim. The victim told deputies she had not met Scotece prior to the date the paramedics came to her residence. Scotece came over with some people and started talking to her about how she would have to be put into a nursing home if they couldn't clean up the trailer.
The victim commented she thought Scotece was very nice, but overbearing and she was intimidated by Scotece's take-charge attitude. She said Scotece continued talking about the victim being put in a nursing home, but she would figure out a way for this not to happen.
The victim, when presented with the power of attorney paperwork, thought this was the only way she could stay out of the nursing home and signed the papers. Deputies responded to Scotece's trailer and contacted her. Scotece talked with deputies and claimed she had permission from the victim to withdraw the money. She also claimed to have permission to use the money to repair a truck she had as well as various other needs.
Scotece returned approximately $4,500 which was located in various areas inside the trailer to the deputies and admitted to spending the balance of the $10,000. Deputies arrested Scotece and transported her to jail where she was booked on a Felony charge of Theft 1st Degree. Additionally, based on information Scotece repeatedly threatened the victim with placement in a nursing home and used that fear to cause her to sign the power of attorney paperwork, probable cause also existed to charge Scotece with another felony of Obtaining a Signature Under Duress.
Upon further questioning at the jail, Scotece told deputies she had paid a mechanic $1,000 for work to be done on her truck and advised she had purchased a 47" TV and DVD player as well as other grocery items (allegedly for the victim).
On Friday, February 22nd, Spokane Valley Property Crimes detectives executed a search warrant at Scotece's residence in the 200 block of South Park to recover evidence in this case. Numerous items were recovered, which Scotece admitted to using the victim's money to purchase without her permission.
Detectives located and seized new carpeting still in a roll from inside the trailer as well as the 47" TV and DVD player along with new pots/pans and other items shown on various receipts.
They also found newly installed carpet which remained in the trailer and was not seized. Detectives also contacted the mechanic Scotece paid to have her truck repaired and retrieved the $1,000. After the search warrant was executed, Scotece was charged with an addition felony of Money Laundering.

Praise for Blackburn Rovers autograph hunter (From This Is Lancashire)
Praise for Blackburn Rovers autograph hunter
11:51am Monday 3rd February 2014 in News
HOSPICE supporter John Whyche has been thanked for the hours he spends standing in the freezing cold, waiting to get signatures from famous visitors to the town and players at Blackburn Rovers.
John, 54, from Feniscowles, uses his hobby of collecting autographs to raise funds for the hospice.
John has raised thousands of pounds for the charity by asking for signatures on everything from promotional posters and footballs to shirts and plaques. He also has a relationship with King George's Hall where performing musicians and comedians sign posters.
These are then auctioned or raffled at hospice events, community functions or pubs.
John said: "I would like to thank everyone who helps me to do this, including the players at Blackburn Rovers. The hospice is close to the hearts of many and nearly everyone knows someone who has been cared for there.
"The hospice really does make a huge difference.
"One of the most memorable meetings was with Geoff Hurst.
"He was at an event at Ewood and signed a picture of him scoring for England during the 1966 World Cup final. It eventually raised £1,000."
Hospice fundraising manager Sharon Crymble said: "We are indebted to John for the hours he stands in the rain and bad weather in order to get the signatures on the plaques that he also provides and frames.
"He gives a great deal of his time to help us to raise funds."
If anyone would like to make an offer on one of the signed Blackburn Rovers items or would like to raffle one in their workplace, event or local pub, contact Sharon in the fundraising department on 01254 733410.

PHILADELPHIA Ś Now that Chip Kelly has settled into his new position, he has quite a challenge ahead.
The Philadelphia Eagles are coming off a 4-12 season, have won just 12 games over the past two years and need to rebuild almost from the ground up. There are some high-priced underachievers on this roster and a few players who quit on former coach Andy Reid.
But the biggest question Kelly faces is whether he can take all his success at Oregon and translate that into wins in the NFL.
ōFootball is football, and this is football at its highest level,ö he said. ōBut itÆs still a game and itÆs played 11 on 11. ItÆs about putting together a great coaching staff, having a great organization behind you, and having great players. Ultimately, whether itÆs in high school football, college football or professional football, itÆs a personnel-driven operation.
ōI know in the experience that IÆve had is trying to figure out any way we can to put our players in the best situation when they have an opportunity to be successful. ThatÆs what this game comes down to. Are there a lot more cameras around? Yes, but thatÆs what this deal is all about. ItÆs still the game of football. ItÆs XÆs and OÆs and I understand that aspect of it.ö
Kelly is known for being an offensive innovator. He led Oregon to four straight BCS bowl games Ś including a bid for the national championship against Auburn two seasons ago Ś and three conference championships.
His up-tempo offense averaged 49.6 points this season and the Ducks averaged an astounding 44.7 points per game in his four years, going 46-7. But the NFC East isnÆt the Pac 12, and Kelly knows it.
ōThereÆs perception and then thereÆs reality,ö Kelly said. ōThe perception is we run our quarterback all the time and this is what we do. The reality is thatÆs not the case. One of the best qualities in a quarterback is durability and a lot of that has to do with play calling. Our quarterback is not going to get the direct snap like Dick Kazmaier did at Princeton in the single wing and have him run it 25 times, I can tell you that.
ōPart of what we do offensively has always been understanding what personnel is and then how do we maximize that, and what are their best traits. If youÆre going to ask someone to do something that theyÆre not capable of doing then obviously thatÆs a recipe for disaster. Then I analyze everyone thatÆs in our program (and) in our scheme offensively, defensively and special teams-wise, itÆs going to be personnel driven. A lot of coaches have great ideas but weÆre not playing the game.
ōThe players are playing the game. ItÆs about putting them in position where they can be successful. Our offense is always going to be tailored to whoÆs playing.ö
Everyone in Philadelphia wants to know who will run KellyÆs offense? Will it be Nick Foles, who started six games as a rookie or Michael Vick? Foles clearly doesnÆt possess the speed or mobility to fit into KellyÆs scheme. Vick does, but heÆs due to make $16 million next year, will be 33 and is injury prone.
Kelly raved about Foles after Oregon beat Arizona in September 2011, and he still recalls him completing a 13-yard pass left-handed in that game.
ōIÆm a huge fan,ö Kelly said of Foles. ōHeÆs tough. ItÆs an attribute that I think a lot of people donÆt understand of how hard it is and what toughness means to the quarterback spot. We hit him as many times as we could hit him and he just kept getting up and making plays. I remember just standing on the sideline shaking my head (saying), `What do we have to do to stop him?Æ HeÆs a competitor, heÆs accurate, so IÆm excited about that.ö
As for Vick, Kelly took the political approach.
ōIÆve followed MichaelÆs career and I understand what a talent he is,ö he said. ōBut there is nothing thatÆs on the board right now, thereÆs nothing thatÆs off the board right now.ö
Some aspects of KellyÆs hurry-up, spread offense are used by New England and Washington. Patriots coach Bill Belichick even brought Kelly in to get advice on his offensive philosophy.
ōThe one thing is that people want to paint a brush and a label an offense with one word,ö Kelly said. ōWhat Bill does in New England with Tom Brady is not a spread option offense. If someone tried to make Tommy run the zone read, I think heÆd get fired to be honest with you. You need him to sit back in the pocket and throw the ball because heÆs one of the all-time greatest quarterbacks ever. There are a lot of different facets. For us, itÆs about what tools do we have in our toolbox and what tools can we use based on the players that we have.ö
The Eagles were convinced Kelly can adapt his system and have success no matter which direction he goes.
Owner Jeffrey Lurie praised KellyÆs work ethic, communication skills and smarts.
ōForward thinking not just about what he is running at Oregon but where the league is headed and where college is headed, how there are going to be current trends and how there would be trends off of these current trends,ö Lurie said. ōJust somebody who is on the cutting edge of football today, but saw that there are going to be reactions to that and what to do going way past that. Also, someone who was a program builder. ThatÆs important because it shows the best possible leader.
ōChip brings everyone together at Oregon culturally in preparing themselves to be the best football players they can be. Organizationally, he just had it all.ö

This post came about after a recent experience starting to extend a personal website of mine. It's a simple site that I started writing in the Zend Framework some years ago and which I work on, occasionally. With it I enjoy that complete creative freedom that often only comes with something that's all your own. On that site, I've wanted to have a blog for quite some time and recently I have started learning about and working with NoSQL databases, including CouchDB and mongoDB.
What's more, I've been building a simple fileserver with mongoDB and Zend Framework as a first test of putting the two together. As that project is going very well, I thought that I should apply what I'd done there to create an ultra-simple blog. So this post will document some of the process, giving you a simple introduction into combining the two technologies. This is not going to be too detailed, just a warm up, but I'm planning to write a couple of posts building upon this one.
Post Requirements
What you're going to need to follow along with this post is:
- Working knowledge of the Zend Framework – version 1.1o or above – with the zf tool available
- A working development environment with a web server, such as Apache 2
- An installation of mongoDB
- An open mind to try new things
Background on Mongo
But first a quick bit of background on mongoDB. According to the official site, MongoDB is:
MongoDB bridges the gap between key-value stores (which are fast and highly scalable) and traditional
RDBMS systems (which provide rich queries and deep functionality). MongoDB (from "humongous") is a scalable, high-performance, open source, document-oriented database.
It's written in C++ and sports the following features:
- Document-oriented storage
- Full index support
- Replication and High-Availability
- Auto-Sharding
- Querying
- Fast In-Place updates
- Map/Reduce and
- GridFS
All in all, this makes it a good system if you're looking for an alternative from traditional RDBMS's.
PHP Libraries
There are a number of high-quality, freely available, PHP libraries, including the PHP extension, Zend_NoSQL_Mongo and Shanty-Mongo. For this post, I've settled on Shanty-Mongo as it integrates very quickly with Zend Framework and is pretty feature rich. I'll not get in to too much detail about it here, as you can find out lots more on the website.
Setting up the Base Project
As the key focus of the project is more about mongoDB rather than Zend Framework, I'll assume a lot of prior knowledge of how to setup and manage the project component. However to assist getting everything up and running quickly, run the following commands to get the base project directory ready to go.
zf create project mini-blog zf create config zf enable layout zf create module posts zf create controller Index 1 posts zf create controller Create 1 posts zf create controller Delete 1 posts zf create controller Update 1 posts zf create controller View 1 posts
Adding Mongo support to your project
After that grab yourself a copy of Shanty-Mongo from Github. Simply run the following command:
git clone git://github.com/coen-hyde/Shanty-Mongo.git
Then add the library/shanty directory, in the uncompressed file, to the library directory of your project. Then, in your application.ini, add the library to the project's namespace in the production section with:
autoloaderNamespaces[] = "Shanty_"
When that's done, you're ready to start using it. In addition to this, add autoloaderNamespaces[] = "Common_". We will need this for our classes.
Modelling with Mongo
As we covered earlier, Mongo is a document-oriented storage system. So to use it right, you have to think in terms of documents, not rows, tuples, tables and schemas in the like of MySQL or Oracle. This makes it simpler, I believe, to work with Object-Oriented development languages such as PHP. So I've created a document class below that we'll use for our posts. Have a look at it below and then we'll cover how it works.
// a simple class to model a post class Post extends Shanty_Mongo_Document { protected static $_db = 'forum'; protected static $_collection = 'posts'; protected static $_requirements = array( 'author' => 'Required',  'title' => 'Required', 'body' => 'Required', 'createdDate' => 'Required', 'publishedDate' => 'Required', 'status' => array('Validator:InArray' => array('draft', 'published'), )); }
The _db property links the document to the database that it will be stored in. The collection is the name of the collection of documents that this one will be a member of. The _requirements array is the method of enforcing document validation constraints. For our post, we're enforcing that the post has an author, title, body, created date, published dateand status. This will help us keep proper document integrity.
Setting up the Post Module
Once the document class is setup, then it's time to flesh out the Posts controller.
Adding Posts
In the add document action after we've validated and processed the form, we'll have available the details for our post. So then we'll create a new Post document, store the information in it and save it. Sounds simple right? It is. Have a look at the code snippet below.
public function createAction() { $blogPost = new Common_Blog_Post(); $blogPost->author = $this->_request->getParam('author'); $blogPost->title = $this->_request->getParam('title'); $blogPost->body = $this->_request->getParam('body'); $blogPost->createdDate = $this->_request->getParam('createDate'); $blogPost->publishedDate = $this->_request->getParam('publishedDate'); $blogPost->status = $this->_request->getParam('status'); $blogPost->save(); }
Now this assumes that you've already setup the code to build, populate and process a form, which I'll assume is based on Zend_Form along with Zend_Config components. I'm glossing over this for this post given that we're not specifically focusing in that area of the framework. So please bear with me in that respect for now.
Updating Posts
Ok, so it's great that we've saved a post, but what about updating one. Not that hard honestly. It's not that much different from adding them. Firstly, you need to instantiate a post if you can find it in the database, which we'll do based on it's title, in the database. Then, once you have the document, update the properties of it as required, then save it. That's it. So let's have a look at some sample code.
public function updatePost() { // attempt to open a post if we can find it $blogPost = Common_Blog_Post::fetchOne( array('title' => $this->_request->getParam('title')) ); // we found the post, so let's update the properties $blogPost->author = $this->_request->getParam('author'); $blogPost->title = $this->_request->getParam('title'); $blogPost->body = $this->_request->getParam('body'); $blogPost->createdDate = $this->_request->getParam('createDate'); $blogPost->publishedDate = $this->_request->getParam('publishedDate'); $blogPost->status = $this->_request->getParam('status); $blogPost->save(); }
Deleting Posts
Ok, so we've covered creating and updating posts. What about removing posts. As with the updatePost action, the deletePost action will use the findOne method to attempt to find and load an existing post, based on the post title. If we do find it, then we run the delete method on it. It should be noted that when we take a document out of one database, any connected databases will remove the document when the next replication process occurs. We don't need to write any extra code to make this happen. What a relief. So what's the code?
public function deletePost() { // attempt to open a post if we can find it $blogPost = Common_Blog_Post::fetchOne( array('title' => $this->_request->getParam('title'))); // we found the post, so let's delete it $blogPost->delete(); }
Viewing Posts
Well, not much left to go now. So let's look at the list item - viewing a list of posts. For this, we're going to use the 'all' method. This will return a Shanty_Mongo_Iterator_Cursor object that allows us to iterate over a collection of our posts. Nice and simple. What we'll do in our viewPosts controller is to assign the object as a view variable and then iterate over it in our view template. Have a look at the code below for a sample.
public function viewAction() { // attempt to open a post if we can find it $blogPosts = Common_Blog_Post::all(); // assign the object as a view variable $this->view->posts = $blogPosts; }
Now in the view template:
<?php foreach ($posts as $post) : ?> <a href='/posts/<?php print $post->title; ?>'><?php print $post->title; ?>
<?php print $post->body; ?>
  <?php endforeach; ?>
It really is that simple.
Winding Up
Now this article should have given you a introductory idea of just how easy it is to integrate MongoDb and the Zend Framework, specifically with the Shanty-Mongo library. I appreciate that there are a lot of things that I've not covered here, like the forms, proper security and more thorough validation. I've also not gone in to a lot of detail about the wide variety of features that are available with MongoDB, such as storing documents and exactly how replication works. But I hope that I've whet your appetite for learning more.
Stay tuned. In the next post, I'm going to get in to a bit more detail about storing files and some of the deeper mechanics of MongoDB and the Shanty-Mongo library. After that we'll get in to some of the fun of GridFS.

North Jefferson News
PLEASANT GROVE — Pinson Valley had to work much longer than usual, but scored two runs in the top of the 10th inning to defeat Pleasant Grove 4-2 in the Thursday semifinals of the Jefferson County Schools Baseball Tournament.
Josh Hines hit a lead-off double for the ninth-ranked Indians, and scored when Jason Little hit into an error. Austin Little then singled to right, bringing home Robert St. John (running for Jason Little). That was all the lead the Indians needed, as they held the Spartans to a single in the bottom of the 10th.
The Spartans scored twice in the second inning on two singles and an error. Pinson got one run back when Hines doubled, and scored on a Jason Little hit. They tied the game in the seventh when Jared McCurdy drew a walk, moved to second on a wild pitch and scored on a Hines hit.
Hines was 3-for-5 for the night with two doubles, Gracen Armstrong was 2-for-5 with a double, and Zac Ray was 2-for-5. McCurdy was 2-for-4.
Wyatt Burns went seven innings in relief of starter Scott Falkinburg, who last two innings. Burns struck out six Spartan batters and gave up three hits and one walk. Colby Wingard got the save, working the 10th inning.
Pinson Valley and Gardendale will meet in the Jefferson County Championship on Monday night at 6:30, to be played at Birmingham-Southern College.

I have been following the trail of Dublin's rich graffiti and street art since I started taking photographs in 2009. I like to show how it contrasts or interacts with people that go past it. The street art in this book includes graffiti, stencil art and shop front murals. It's my intention to make every possible effort to contact the street artists whose art is shown here. I hope this little book helps promote their work.
If a street artist out there sees this book and recognizes the author of a particular piece I didn't name, please contact me and I'd be very happy to publish an updated edition at a later stage. I've also tried to contact some of the people photographed but it has not been possible in most instances. Please let me know if you recognize yourself and have a problem with being in this book.
Artists featured and credited are: El Mac, Fink, Jef Aerosol, KARMA, Eelus, Maser, Scie, Mso, Eine, Danleo. Other artists featured but not credited in the book as I didn't have the information at the time of publishing are: Phek (page 8), Phats (pages 18/19), Rask (page 22, top photo), Cesk (page 23, bottom photo), Drie (page 24).
Profit margin is set at 0 for this book so any people whose art is shown here and want to purchase a copy can do so as cheaply as possible. I don't make any money from it.

Did not make the fries to go with this because I don't have any potatoes on hand to make fries. This was very easy to make and very yummy. Due to a problem with my smoke alarms in my apartment I can't turn the oven to 425, so I baked the fish at 375 for a half an hour. It turned out perfectly, and I can't wait to make it again for lunch tomorrow.

I made this for dinner tonight. The flavors needed some adjustment. Vinegar and lemon juice were a bit much for my taste. I added a packet of Splenda. Next time I will eliminate the vinegar. Otherwise this was very good.
