After five months of confusion, bickering, dickering, dithering, and strong-arm tactics from Zalmay Khalilzad, our ambassador to Iraq and various high American officials arriving on the fly, Prime Minister-designate Nouri al-Maliki has reportedly chosen his cabinet and a government will evidently be established in Baghdad's Green Zone. At the moment, its reach seems unlikely to extend much beyond the American-protected berms and fortifications of that citadel-mini-state. In the meantime, what governmental authority still existed in Iraq seems to be rapidly on the wane — and not just in largely Sunni areas of the country either. (In parts of Sunni al-Anbar province, however, according to Mathieu Guidère and Peter Harling of Le Monde Diplomatique, control seems to be passing into other "governing" hands: "A formal procedure is in place for lorry drivers to pay an insurance fee [to insurgent groups] that allows them to cross the governorate, as long as they are not supplying the enemy.")
In the city of Basra, in the Shiite south, the reliable British journalist Patrick Cockburn reports that, according to an Iraqi defense ministry official, an average of one assassination an hour is taking place, and local police "no longer dare go to the site of a murder because they fear being attacked." Indeed, when a tribal leader was recently killed by men in police uniforms, a local police station was promptly sacked and 11 policemen killed. Reprisal murders of every sort seem to be sweeping the country as a complex, low-level civil war only grows more intense. In fact, Middle Eastern scholar Juan Cole now regularly begins his daily blog at his Informed Comment website with lines like: "The Iraqi Civil War took the lives of another 42 persons on Tuesday.")
None of this seems to have slowed the Sunni insurgency. It is, if anything, better organized than a year ago and, as a result, American military deaths for the first half of May now stand at 45, the highest figure in many months, though those deaths are happening in twos and threes, largely due to roadside bombs, and rarely make the front pages of American newspapers anymore. At the same time, the use of air power and artillery against Iraqi cities, towns, and villages by the U.S. military remains commonplace (though, again, barely noted in the American press). Here are typical passages buried in Iraq round-up stories: This in relation to the town of Yusufiyah: "The ground troops called for more air support, and jets and helicopters pounded the enemy positions, killing approximately 20 more suspected insurgents… a powerful airstrike by U.S.-led forces caused many families in the area to flee. The strike killed several civilians… and leveled houses. 'We spent a long, scary night with our families and children,' Qaraghouli said." Or this little phrase in relation to fighting in the city of Ramadi: "…U.S. troops engaged in intense, close-quarters combat with a large force of insurgents, killing several with gunfire and artillery strikes, according to residents of the area."
Here's a typical U.S. Air Force description of a day's action in Iraq: "Air Force F-15 Eagles, F-16 Fighting Falcons and Navy F/A-18 Hornets provided close-air support to coalition troops in contact with anti-Iraqi forces near Al Hawijah, Al Iskandariyah, Al Mahmudiyah, Baghdad and Hawijah." (Full reports on daily air action can be found by clicking here.)
The results of the U.S. occupation are increasingly apparent for anyone who cares to look, most recently in a UN-backed government survey of malnutrition among Iraq's children, which has soared to "alarming levels." (Nearly one in ten children "aged between six months and five years, suffered acute malnourishment," according to the report, far beyond levels of malnutrition in the worst moments of Saddam's rule.)
At his blog, AP Reporter Robert Reid catches something of what daily life is like in electricity-starved Baghdad, even for a Western reporter, with a description of how to shower when the water briefly and miraculously starts flowing. "It's pitch dark, but at my age, I know where the body parts are anyway… Now comes the tricky part: shaving in the dark. Only a real optimist would even bother to take an electric razor to Baghdad. I fumble in the dark, my hands finding the shaving cream on the counter and the razor, hidden on the corner where it fell in my earlier search for the soap…" And so on — in the capital of ever-devolving Iraq.

The department purchased a drug detection dog from Central Alabama Police K9 Training Center. "Bella" is a four-year old Belgian malinois trained to detect drugs and alert her handler.
Chief Andy Powell said that local citizens and business owners stepped up with donations for the dog so that the city didn't have to shoulder the expense of the canine. Richard "Bull" Corey and the Bull Pen Steakhouse especially stepped up to cover a large portion of the cost of the dog.
"We're grateful to Mr. Corey and the Bull Pen, as well as the other businesses and residents who helped us get this dog," Powell said. "They deserve recognition for what they have done for the city. This will allow us to better protect the city and its residents."
Powell will be handling the dog and is currently attending training courses to teach him to best use her training and interpret her actions. He expects to receive his certification this week.
The department also added veteran officer Jack Cooley, who brings approximately 30 years of police experience to the job, after spending the last five years at Parrish Police Department.
The department has also added Blake Powell to the roster. The plan is for Powell to attend the police training academy in April and assist the department with school patrols and serve as the school resource officer.
Powell said that adding the dog, Cooley and Blake Powell to the roster that already included Nancy Kerklin and Assistant Chief Chad Gurganus allowed the department to be stronger and to cover the city more thoroughly.
"We don't have as many officers as some departments, but we have people who really care and devote themselves to this town and its residents," the chief said. "Our officers put their heart into it."
Powell said he is grateful the current mayor and city council have devoted city resources to bettering the department and providing them with necessary equipment, but he's more excited about the personnel that they have allowed him to bring in to bolster the city's security.
"It's not about having the newest, best equipment," Powell said. "That's great, but it's really about the kind of people you have as officers."

Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder characterized by involuntary muscle contractions, which force certain parts of the body into abnormal, sometimes painful, movements or postures. Dystonia can affect any part of the body including the arms and legs, trunk, neck, eyelids, face, or vocal cords.
We want to highlight the Rangar Ultra Relay Team for Tyler's Hope!
For those of you who do not know about The Ragnar Relay Race, it is a 200 mile relay race that takes place in different states around the USA. Traditionally a race consists of 12 runners who alternate runnning "legs" of the race, while the runners waiting for their "leg" follow along in a van until it is there turn to run again. The ULTRA teams consist of only 6 people so each runner will run Double the amount distance of a traditional team.
In 2015 six supporters of Tyler's Hope including the Founder Rick Staab will run an ULTRA Team in the Florida Keys. They are running this race to do something that one could not normally do for those who cannot. Not only are they doing this amazing feat to raise awareness of Dystonia but they are also raising money for Tyler's Hope for a Dystonia Cure. Please take a moment and sponsor this incredible team on crowdrise. All the money raised will go directly to Tyler Hope and as always that money will go directly to funding cutting edge research to Cure Dystonia!.
Please Use this link to Check out there Crowdrise Team and to give a donation. https://www.crowdrise.com/syncd4o/fundraiser/richardstaab/1/return/success/success
You can also check them out on Facebook and learn more about the runners and follow there journey as they push themselves past their limits! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ragnar-Ultra-Relay-Team-for-Tylers-Hope/376116745803397
We wish their team the best of luck and God Speed!
The diary was originally written by me to update all of the things that my family deals with in regards to our children's dystonia. Dystonia is a devastating disorder that affects millions of people in ways that most do not understand. There is and continues to be peripheral damage from this awful disorder.
I don't want people to think that we sit around and mope about the struggles my kids go through but instead I am sharing the things that most people can either relate to or want to understand when dealing with any disability in the family or understanding the individuals that deal with dystonia every day.
Last night I had a conversation with Tyler that will shed a small glimmer of light on what he deals with. First he told me how much he misses baseball and his Mustang team. The friendships and camaraderie that he learned and developed with the Mustangs will always be at the top of the list for life lessons. The feelings and support that those kids had is tough for Tyler to get back. This is a very impressive time of his life as a high school teenager and I cannot imagine the desire to capture these relationships and have this support which is very difficult for Tyler not being able to converse easily because of his speech problems.
The second conversation we had last night was regarding his weight and his feeding tube. Tyler has added some weight and is trying very hard to continue to gain weight. He is currently at 99lbs. His goal is 140lbs. He became somewhat emotional when expressing that he really wants the feeding tube removed. I told him I was not sure that could happen but we would work on it. I hope I did not discourage him because he is working hard.
Samantha also has had some recent issues because her implant may need to be redone. She visited the doctor yesterday and it was determined she needs to have another surgery but they are trying to wait until after school gets out. If it continues to get worse then she may need to go in for surgery any day. She is not happy about this and didn't know what to say.
Here is a recent Facebook post my cousin Dave posted that captures my sentiments about T and Sammy better than I could write it:
"When I tell people about your kids, it usually includes the following.
Tyler is one of the happiest people I have ever met. Against all odds, Tyler wins. All the time. Other people's kids bitch and moan about small obstacles. Meanwhile, Tyler smiles and climbs mountains.
Samantha. When Sam got up out of that chair and completed the 5K, she sealed her destiny as a champion. Life is not going to beat Samantha, Samantha is going to beat life. And, she is now a beautiful young lady with a million dollar smile and a billion dollar attitude.
Luke. When I was in Colorado with Luke, I told him I had $100 I wanted to donate somewhere I could make a difference. Luke pitched me on Tyler's Hope and closed the deal. Luke is crazy, funny, and full of support for his siblings. Luke is part of the answer as to how we cure Dystonia. He is one of the best ambassadors for the cause."
Tyler's hope is asking supporters to show us how and where you have spread awareness! - Read more about the photo contest

I think Kid Chocolate has the style to bring out the best of GGG. I think Sergio vs GGG would be a dull fight do to the styles. I dont want see 12 rounds of Sergio moving around pot shotting and GGG trying to cut the ring off. Kid Chocolate is big and has some pop. But at times he looks kind of shaky on his fight, ala Tito Trinadad. This is the kind of fight that will answer some questions about both fighters.

With what I've seen of these champion(s) and titlists, I'll rank them as follows as to wkn I think will beat who at 160 - for 2013 only:
1. Martinez
2. Golovkin
3. Chavez, Jr.
4. Quillin
5. Geale
To me, GGG ranks so high due his superb balance, power, apparent stamina, and some appreciable level of ring smarts;he ranks just behind Sexy due to his lack of a good defensive skill.

Elliott Sadler has spent the last three years mulling over a mistake in the 2009 Daytona 500, wondering if he'd ever get a chance to redeem himself.
And when he had no ride for last year's 500, Sadler began to think he wouldn't have a shot at the redemption and glory he so craves. But an offseason phone call from his friend and Nationwide Series team owner Richard Childress changed all that.
Sadler will drive Richard Childress Racing's No. 33 car in the 'Great American Race' and has a locked-in spot thanks to Clint Bowyer's points from last year.
He plans to work with Jeff Burton during the race and figures to have a realistic shot at winning the whole thing.
"It would make my life, man," Sadler said.
Sadler said he can't get over the 2009 race because a small mistake cost him the chance to be a Daytona 500 champion for life.
In that race, Sadler was leading as rain approached. On what turned out to be the final lap of green-flag racing, Sadler let Matt Kenseth slip by him. A caution then came out due to a wreck, and the race was eventually red-flagged due to rain and never restarted.
That gave the win to Kenseth and denied Sadler of achieving his childhood dream.
"To tell you I don't think about it, I'd be lying through my teeth at you," Sadler said.
The circumstances have haunted Sadler ever since. But a phone call from Childress gave him renewed hopes of a Daytona 500 win.
Childress typically calls Sadler once or twice per week to talk about hunting, ask how Sadler's family is doing or ask the veteran driver's opinion of a team decision.
Around the start of the new year, though, Childress left Sadler an urgent message: "Hey, I need to talk to you."
"I didn't know if that was good or bad," Sadler said.
But Childress was calling with some very good news.
"He just said, 'Would you be interested in running the Daytona 500 if I could find sponsorship?'" Sadler recalled, chuckling at his own reaction. "I was like, 'Hell yes! Yes sir! I would love to.'
"He said, 'Well, we're talking to some people. We're going to use your name and see if they want to do this deal. I think you could go down there and win that damn race.' And I was like, 'Yes sir!'"
Childress built him a brand new car – sponsored by General Mills and Kroger – for next Sunday's race, and Sadler is optimistic he can go all-out for the victory.
"I would love to win this race," Sadler said. "... We come down here to win the race."

Students + Alumni : Lessa Manotti
Lessa Manotti (MBA Candidate 2010)
Graduate Assistant
MBA Emphasis in Sustainable Business
Lessa had a wide variety of employment experiences prior to beginning her studies at SF State. She graduated from Penn State University with a degree in marketing and international business. After her undergraduate coursework, she moved to Japan where she taught English for the greater part of three years. Lessa moved to San Francisco to explore non-profit work after her return to the United States.
Upon moving to San Francisco, Lessa began working for the Mayor's Youth Employment and Education Program (MYEEP). There she was able to help to grow the program and its reach in supporting over 1,500 San Francisco high school youth. Lessa's experience at MYEEP provided her with a greater understanding of the issues facing underserved populations in the Bay Area and the organizations that support them. After working for MYEEP for more than three years, Lessa decided to return to school to improve her management skills.
Lessa chose to attend SF State's MBA program because sustainability is so deeply engrained in the courses. She has taken the majority of the classes within the sustainability emphasis and has worked on sustainability- focused projects in other classes as well. Lessa's non-profit background has prompted her to approach her coursework through a socially-focused sustainability lens. She especially enjoyed her classes in Social Entrepreneurship and Sustainability & Business Opportunity.
Attending SF State has allowed Lessa to engage in a number of activities outside of the classroom. As an active member of Net Impact and the Chapter Speaker VP, Lessa has been involved in moderating panel discussions on campus and bringing CSR-focused speakers to campus. Lessa's close work with professors within the sustainability emphasis has enabled her to forge relationships between the MBA program and local organizations.
After graduation, Lessa looks forward to facilitating cross-sector collaboration between non-profit and for-profit organizations. The skills that she has gained at SF State will help her to effectively manage programs in the future.
Lessa was also a 2010 nominee for the MBA Student Community Service Award. To read her mini-bio, see MBA Student Community Service Award.

Facebook continues to push the boundaries of storage and server technology in order to more quickly serve its billion users, and the results are being offered as open source technology that can also benefit other companies.
Recently, Facebook updated its internally developed caching software, called Flashcache, to more efficiently use the thousands of SSDs (solid-state drives) that the social networking giant deploys to store frequently consulted data.
[ InfoWorld presents the Bossies 2013, the best open source software for clouds, mobile, developers, and more. | Track trends in open source with InfoWorld's Open Sources blog and Technology: Open Source newsletter. ]
The newly released Flashcache 3.0 is able to make better decisions about what data to cache, while reducing the amount of wear and tear on expensive flash disks.
"With these improvements, Flashcache has become a building block in the Facebook stack," wrote Domas Mituzas, a Facebook database engineer who authored a blog post explaining the updates to the open-source software.
The work aims to improve overall Facebook performance without unduly driving up operating costs.
"While the cost per GB for flash is coming down, it's still not where it needs to be," Mituzas wrote. Given the premium prices commanded for SSDs, Facebook doesn't want to wear out these disks too quickly. "SSDs have limited write cycles, so we have to make sure that we're not writing too much."
Flashcache is one of a number of software projects that Facebook originally developed in house that the company has also released as open source. Earlier this year, for instance, the company also released a virtual machine, called HipHop, that speeds the processing of PHP code.
The company hopes that other organizations could reuse such programs as HipHop and Flashcache and eventually contribute to their further development. Like other open-source caching software such as memcache and Redis, Flashcache can be used to speed the responsiveness of a heavily visited website or popular Web application.
Facebook originally created Flashcache to boost the responsiveness of the MySQL databases that store user data. The software can be loaded onto the Linux kernel as a module without making any changes to the kernel itself.

---- — GROVELAND — Residents of this small town are reeling from news that a well-known 2006 graduate of Pentucket Regional High School has been found dead on a cruise ship docked in northern Australia.
Police said Jackie Kastrinelis' body was found Sunday morning in her cabin on the luxury cruise ship Seven Seas Voyager in Darwin Harbor. The 24-year-old woman had been a crew member since 2011 and was the lead singer in the ship's musical show.
Kastrinelis was the daughter of Deputy Chief Michael Kastrinelis of the town's Fire Department and Kathleen Kastrinelis, a former selectwoman and also former member of the Pentucket Regional High School School Committee. The parents are believed to be on the way to Australia to identify the body.
Police initially treated the ship's cabin where the body was found as a crime scene, but in a statement today authorities said they do not believe Kastinelis was the victim of a crime. One online media source reported that Kastrinelis is believed to have suffered a head injury during a rehearsal and that she may have been given medication by a ship's doctor.
A complete report will appear in Tuesday's edition of The Eagle-Tribune.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- No one in the Horizon League has been able to figure out a way to beat Wisconsin-Green Bay the last two seasons.
Detroit finally found a solution.
Shareta Brown scored 24 points and Senee Shearer added 23 as Detroit beat the ninth-ranked Phoenix 70-58 on Thursday night, snapping their 40-game Horizon League regular-season winning streak.
The Titans (13-11, 9-3 Horizon League) ended Green Bay's bid for a second straight perfect season in the Horizon.
"Detroit came in and they played a great game. We didn't put 40 minutes together and when it comes down to it that's what it's all about," Green Bay senior guard Hannah Quilling said. "Any team can play their mind out and I think Detroit did that, and we didn't put together a game that we're happy with."
Quilling said the loss doesn't diminish anything the Phoenix have accomplished and they're eager to prove it was just a minor setback.
"This doesn't define our season. This isn't the end of a great season," Quilling said. "We've got a long way to go and this isn't the point of the season where we're really worried about (losing)."
Green Bay (20-1, 10-1) trailed for most of the game after falling behind by 14 early. The Phoenix took a brief 50-47 lead on an Adrian Ritchie 3-pointer with just over eight minutes left, but then scored two points over the next seven minutes.
Part of Green Bay's downfall was it reliance on the 3-pointer, according to coach Matt Bollant. The Phoenix made 12 3s but had to shoot 38 to get there. The Titans outscored Green Bay 30-8 in the paint and shot 35 free throw to Green Bay's 13.
"That's ridiculously too many. I'm so upset with that," Bollant said. "That's probably the most frustrating thing right now. We've been after them to be more disciplined, get the ball inside, drive the basketball and get to the foul line, and we were asking them all game long.
"Part of it is their defense and how they played but we've been after them for the last three weeks to quit being a 3-point shooting basketball team and relying on that because as soon as you don't make them you get in trouble. That stat is just so ridiculous. It's really frustrating."
After a slow start by both teams, Detroit used a 17-0 run to take an early 22-8 lead as the Phoenix struggled to score. Green Bay made just three of its first 18 shots.
Green Bay battled back to make it 29-24 at the half despite shooting just 7-of-31 (22.6 percent).
The Phoenix was without starting forward Sarah Eichler, who injured an ankle in practice earlier in the week. Green Bay also had four players foul out.
Julie Wojta led Green Bay with 16 points and nine rebounds. Quilling added 13 points, and Ritchie and Megan Lukan each had 11.


text: While the Patriots locked up their biggest free agent, Tom Brady, before the 2010 season, there's another Pro Bowler that likely will be their top priority to re-sign this offseason — OLG Logan Mankins. After a contract dispute kept him out the first seven games of the season, Mankins signed his tender and was so effective that he earned a Pro Bowl nod. Over the first seven games without Mankins, the Patriots gained 112.7 rushing yards per game. With Mankins mauling defenders from left guard, the Pats averaged 131.6 rushing yards the last nine games, nearly a 19-yard improvement. Mankins was welcomed back by the team with open arms, and Bill Belichick appreciates his presence. "He's been outstanding on and off the field. He brings a great attitude, work ethic, just superior toughness to the field, to our football team and that unit," Belichick said earlier this season. It's clear the team respects what Mankins brings, now the two sides just need to come to an agreement on a deal.

It may feel like winter even though it's spring but your allergies may remind you of that.
Some trees like cedar and maples have already starting blooming and pollinating and if that's what you're allergic to, you're likely already feeling the effects. Don't despair, there is a way to manage the suffering.
If your allergies haven't kicked in, allergists say getting ahead of the symptoms is the best way to get through it. Dr. Dane McBride of Asthma and Allergy Center in Roanoke tells me there are three ways to do that. You can start by avoiding what you're allergic to. Staying indoors when pollen levels are high and leaving your windows closed will help. "It's very helpful if you're driving in your car to have the windows up and put the ventilation on re-circulate so you're not bringing in fresh air from the outside while you drive," McBride said.
Another option is taking medication a nasal spray or an over-the-counter, non-sedating antihistamine like Zyrtec, Allegra or Claritin.
You can also consider seeing a doctor for a more permanent solution like allergy shots. "It is the only one that makes you not allergic anymore," said McBride. "When people have a lot of problems with allergies they really should see an allergist and become desensitized so the problems don't continue for years and years."
if you choose to take medication, McBride suggests starting two weeks before the pollen starts in order to have a milder season.
