What does Australian Rules Football have to do with American college football? Football Down Under is entering a new technological age, with players wearing small global positioning satellite units strapped to their backs. Every step and heartbeat is recorded and beamed to the coaches' box, where the numbers are monitored in real time on a laptop.
Given the similarities in the bruising physical nature of the two sports, it would seem like only a matter of time before such technology becomes part of the American game.
The Aussies are using the technology in many ways:
When player starts to "red-line" on any given measure during a game, he is replaced by a teammate with fresh legs.
The associated software enables teams to set upper and lower thresholds on each measure for each player, thus allowing the computer to tell a coach when a player is showing signs of fatigue or not working hard enough.
Fitness and conditioning regimes can be developed for each player to replicate game demands and adjust training loads to take account of the work done throughout a season.
Currently, there is one problem: The GPS devices don't work inside domed stadiums, but one team is already in partnership with a university to develop a modified GPS unit that will provide some real-time information without access to satellites.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Powerball luck has struck three times — once in Minnesota and twice in New Jersey — for the multistate lottery's latest massive jackpot.
Sue Dooley, senior drawing manager production coordinator for the Multi-State Lottery Association, said late Wednesday night that three tickets matched all six numbers and would split the $448 million Powerball jackpot.
"We had three grand prize winners," Dooley said. "One was in Minnesota and two were in New Jersey."
She said it wasn't yet clear where the tickets had been sold or who the winners where. She said that information would come from the individual states' lottery officials.
The numbers drawn Wednesday night were: 05, 25, 30, 58, 59 and Powerball 32.
At the time of the telecast, Powerball officials announced that the jackpot previously pegged at $425 million had grown to an estimated $448 million.
The allure of capturing such a rich jackpot has had players in a ticket-buying frenzy, further confirming Powerball players often don't get into the game until the jackpot offers big bucks.
A recent game change increased the frequency of huge jackpots, and Wednesday's third largest-ever jackpot comes only months after the biggest Powerball jackpot in history — a $590 million pot won in Florida.

97% of gold buyers overpay when they buy...
Dear Fellow Patriot,
As I write this letter, we're on the precipice of the single greatest economic crisis of our lifetime.
And even liberals are saying things are going to get much worse before they get better. By year's end experts like Gerald Celente and Marc Faber say there will be a new banking crisis, a stock market crash and pressure on the current administration to print money like there's no tomorrow.
We're literally one 'sneeze' away from a spending-induced hangover of monumental proportions deteriorating into an economic "coma" that will make the Great Depression look like the good ol' times.
Unfortunately, the truth is we are well past the point of no return and there's little you and I can do about it. As Christian Patriots, we know where our priorities are, and however appealing it may be to write our Congressman, attend Tea Party meetings or march in the streets, deep down we know that the moral, political and economic state of America today resembles that of ancient Rome on its way down.
When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do? Psalm 11:3
Unless you've been drinking "Hope and Change" Kool-Aid, you already know that thousands of Christian Patriots like yourself have seen the writing on the wall and have begun buying gold, both as a hedge against the inevitable hyperinflation and as a means of financial security if and when there is total collapse and dollars are worthless.
The Greatest Financial Crisis
in Our Country's
History Is Set To Unravel!
Please understand. I'm not writing to persuade you to buy gold; I'm writing to you because I suspect you're one of the few who has already bought gold and will buy more or is researching the best way to own gold. If you haven't realized already that owning gold is key to your future, you're just not ready for what I'm about to tell you since...
Most First Time Gold Buyers Drastically Overpay
or Worse, They Actually Buy the
Wrong Kind of Gold!
Headlines around the world are reporting what a select few people already know... that China, India, Russia, Iran and other central government banks are buying all the gold they can get their hands on, while big western banks are literally paying a premium in cash to NOT have to deliver gold. Some worry that western banks don't even have the physical gold they publicly claim to own!
If you ignore these warning signs, you're effectively kissing your savings and financial security goodbye. If you've delayed buying gold until know, you've already lost more than 20% of your purchasing power in the last three years due to the depreciating value of the dollar. However, just as dangerous as inaction is acting on bad information.
As the economic environment worsens and more people wake up to the economic meltdown that is approaching, immoral and unscrupulous bullion and coin dealers are licking their chops as they lie in wait for the next wave of "newbie" gold buyers.
Like their cold-blooded brethren that stalk the oceans, these greedy carnivores smell blood in the water and won't hesitate to take advantage of you as the dollar falls in a frenzy and investors flee from paper money in a panic.
Unfortunately, because demand for gold from investors new to the gold game is high right now, these pitchmen are feasting on the widespread ignorance in the market.
Scheming, Unscrupulous Gold Dealers
and Financial Advisors Cannot Be Trusted
When It Comes To Your Future!
I've been watching this crisis for years and slowly, discreetly preparing for my own family's financial future. At the same time, I've been watching in disgust as gold dealers and financial advisors provide misleading, incomplete and occasionally downright bad direction to well-meaning folks who simply want to protect themselves against a dollar default.
And so, over the last four months, I've burned the midnight oil and published the world's most comprehensive (and objective) guide to buying and owning physical gold.
The book, "How to Buy Gold... Without Getting Ripped Off" is a treasure trove of information for the serious gold buyer. I have to be honest and admit I'm awfully proud of this book... as my goal was to take a complex and difficult subject and present everything you need to know in practical, step-by-step instructions that anyone can understand.
I share secrets to buying gold that will not only save you thousands of dollars, but may save your livelihood, including:
And much more...
We've spent countless hours interviewing gold dealers, experienced gold investors, scholars and market watchers to come up with inside information previously only known to an elite group of gold buyers.
You could spend years researching the market, or worse - making expensive mistakes - and still not learn the secrets in "How to Buy Gold Without Getting Ripped Off".
For example:
And what the real, inflation-adjusted value of gold is today (you're not going to believe this one... it's much, much higher than current prices), and why you haven't "missed out" if you don't yet own gold.
I also reveal some real "down and dirty" secrets the gold dealers don't want you to know, including:
And even how to buy gold on an installment plan...
with as little as $100 a month!

The world economy today is in ruins, and unfortunately it will likely get much worse. Millions of people are living dangerously on the edge, while millions more are mindlessly following the government line, blissfully unaware that the slightest hiccup could bring the whole house of cards down.
With each passing day, the risk goes up exponentially as our country - and the world - hastens toward the inevitable financial collapse.
But you don't have to live a life of financial anxiety and uncertainty. With the secrets in this book, you can prepare your family for the worst possible economic and societal collapse...
The Coming Economic Collapse May
Be Inevitable, But Your Family Can
Avoid the Worst of It
Just imagine six months from now, when suddenly the Chinese announce they have stopped financing our debt... and then oil nations like Iran and Venezuela decide to only accept gold or some new world currency for crude oil.
Our economy would come to a standstill overnight.
As the dollar falls, the stock market could lose decades worth of growth, imports will double or triple in price, food prices will soar and oil prices will skyrocket as the world's most energy-hungry nation literally runs out of gas.
Such a doomsday scenario might seem extreme, but who would have imagined the rioting in Los Angeles after the Rodney King verdict? What about the savage assaults that took place during the anarchy following Katrina? Our country is accustomed to things working just right. Americans are spoiled beyond belief and when they don't get what they want, when they want it... all hell breaks loose.
With the right planning and the use of these little known secrets, you will be able to help your loved ones, your friends, maybe even your church community, through troubled times, knowing that the worse things get economically, you've hedged, you're safe and you're going to be okay.
Stay Financially Secure During Troubled Times
And most importantly, you'll have knowledge and peace of mind that no one can ever take from you to insure yourself from the worst risks and provide for your family's future, no matter how bad things get!
What I'm about to say may sound alarmist, but please know that I am not in the gold business, I've not been paid to write this, and I don't have any affiliate relationships to anyone in the gold business. I firmly believe we are about to experience hyperinflation - a dramatic devaluation of the dollar as a result of massive trade imbalances, consumerism, deficit spending and generations of fraud and waste by government.
This kind of collapse has happened before, and not just to third-world countries. 100 years ago, Germany was the industrial leader of the world, with a thriving economy and strong base, but within a few years was experiencing hyperinflation which saw their currency losing half its value on a daily basis!
The Decisions Made by Countries Who HaveExperienced Currency Collapse Are Precisely
the Same Mistakes Our Rulers are Making Today
The Soviet Union, the second largest economy in the world (at the time), had a huge industrial base and diverse economy, and it collapsed because government deficit spending was no longer sustainable. In the final days of the USSR, hyperinflation made paper money worthless, and those who had anything at all lost it in a matter of days!
Argentina, a country with a first-world standard of living before the United States, experienced hyperinflation for years... all stemming from the same kind of financial mismanagement which has now overtaken the United States. Huge social programs, massive borrowing, extensive government printing of money, and nationalization of private industry... the similarities are eerie.
Click Here to Protect Yourself Against Hyperinflation
And the key predictor, the common denominator in every case of hyperinflation in the modern world - was deficit spending that reached 40% of the government budget.
You see, when a government spends almost half of its revenue financing deficits, they tend to print even more money, and that fuels the vicious cycle that leads to hyperinflation and currency devaluation. It might alarm you to learn that Obama's stimulus programs and bailouts have just pushed our deficit past 40% of total government spending. Please read that again. We are past the point of safe return.
There is no single person on earth that can change where we are headed. It's way too late in the game. As the Inspector General of the Treasury Department just stated, the recent bailouts, stimulus package and private sector nationalization plans haven't changed a thing, they've only worsened it. To paraphrase his anecdote, "We've not fixed anything; the car is still headed towards a cliff. Only now we're driving much faster."
If you're like most people I know, you probably have some assets left that you need to know what to do with. As a Christian Patriot, I feel it's my duty to help you in any way I can so you can avoid becoming an innocent victim of this crisis. You deserve to get the very best advice... while you can still get it.
I've seen a few other manuals on this topic selling for as much as $299, but none with the scope of information or the time-sensitive, practical advice found within. Of course, you could spend hundreds of dollars an hour with your CPA or Financial Advisor and not get the real-world advice on how to buy the right gold at the right price.
I consider this information too urgent and too critical to your family's survival to charge what it might be worth in normal times. I want you to have every possible opportunity to prepare, so I've slashed the price in half.
You can buy "How to Buy Gold... Without Getting Ripped Off" for only:
$99 $49
It comes with an IRON CLAD,
You can read and use the techniques I share in the
book risk-free for six full months before deciding
whether to keep it or not!

Buy Gold Like the Insiders Do!"
Bill Heid
P.S. I know you may be wondering, "How long do I have?" I'm reminded of our Lord's prediction of the destruction of the Temple in the 24th Chapter of Matthew. Then, like now, the believers were desperate to know exactly when these awful things would happen. Our Lord warned them that the day and hour were known to no man, but did say that the temple would be destroyed within a generation, and we know that it was.

1. Re: data replication performance issue in 5.1.0 & 5.1.3Bela Ban Apr 26, 2012 11:03 AM (in response to Lin Ye)
Hard to say, this could be caused by:
- Garbage collection. The rule of thumb is that GC stops for 1 sec per GB of heap eventually. This also depends on the OS/JVM used.
- Both thread pools are configured to discard a message when all threads are in use. This would lead to retransmission and you have 300ms as smallest retransmit time.
- Flow control: when a sender runs out of credits, it is blocked until the receiver(s) send more credits.
I suggest you enable verbose GC and see if the times when a full GC happened correlate with your hiccups.
2. Re: data replication performance issue in 5.1.0 & 5.1.3Lin Ye Apr 26, 2012 2:30 PM (in response to Bela Ban)
Per your suggestion on GC, I updated my script, which disabled explicit GC, used CMS GC, and turned on GC logging. I also upgraded to Infinispan 5.1.4.FINAL, which is using JGroups 3.0.9.FINAL. I re-run the test, and the jitters are NOT related to GC.
What you mentioned about thread pools & flow control are the general rules. In my test, I have one cache instance stand by without any activities (just to support the data replication), and another instance updating 50 data objects every 2 seconds. So I don't see those 2 rules would be applicable to my test either.
I attached my simple example again with the new script. Now run the first instance using "run 1", and the second instance using "run 2 >out.log". So could you please try running the test on your Windows platform, and see if you can find out what's the problem? Thanks in advance.

Nicolas Kicker has been banned from tennis for three years and fined $25,000 through the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program for match-fixing offences.
The Argentine was ruled last month to be guilty of "contriving the outcome" of matches at ATP Challenger Tour events in Padova, Italy, and Barranquilla, Colombia, in 2015.
Kicker was also guilty of failing to fully co-operate with a Tennis Integrity Unit investigation into these allegations.
With the sanctions announced on Tuesday, Kicker will serve a three-year ban, with a further three years suspended.
The suspension has been backdated to May 24, from when he was initially banned following the ruling, and Kicker will not be allowed to compete in or attend any tournaments recognised by the sport's governing bodies until 2021.
Kicker is currently ranked 100th in the world.

With heavy rain delaying the start, the Suzuka 8-Hour was more like the Suzuka 6-Hour, as only six hours and thirty-five minutes could be fit into the race's time slot. Still, FIM Endurance World Championship fans were treated to a good battle, which unfortunately saw F.C.C. TSR Honda out early while in the lead.
Kosuke Akiyoshi gave F.C.C. TSR Honda its early lead, and strong stint from Jonathan Rea seemed to solidify the team's position. But on his next outing, Akiyoshi had a massive crash at the 130R corner. Riding his Honda CBR1000RR back into the pits with a broken femur, Akiyoshi was the hero of the race, but F.C.C. TSR would have to settle for 40th overall.
The crash left the lead for MuSASHi RT HARC-PRO team, which laid claim to the top step at Suzuka for the second year in a row. The Japanese team, which was comprised of Takumi Takahashi, Leon Haslam, and Michael van der Mark put in an impressive performance at the Suzuka 8-Hour Endurance race, though only had roughly a minute's gap at the finish line to show for it.

Here are 10 observations from the Eagles' 31-26 loss to the Bears on Sunday:
1. The Eagles' offense was just 1-for-5 in the red zone. Michael Vick found Jeremy Maclin from 8 yards out for the team's only red-zone touchdown. The Birds settled for three David Akers field goals, and Vick threw his first interception of the season on the other four chances. After the win over the Redskins, I wrote about how the Eagles were 13-for-17 in terms of converting touchdowns with Vick at QB. Since then, though, they are just 2-for-10 in the last two games.
2. Defensively, the red zone has been an even bigger issue. Entering Sunday, opponents had converted 76.92 percent of red-zone chances into touchdowns against the Eagles. The Bears scored three touchdowns in four red-zone trips today.
3. The opposing quarterback and running back had career games. Jay Cutler's quarterback rating of 146.2 is a career high. Cutler's four touchdown passes ties a career high. And Matt Forte's 8.4 yards per carry is the second-highest average he's ever put up. Forte surpassed 100 yards for just the third time in his last 23 games.
4. There will be plenty of second-guessing of Andy Reid after this one. The one I'll play Monday morning quarterback on is the timeout with 12:23 left in the third quarter. The Eagles faced a 3rd-and-19 from their own 22 with the play clock winding down. Instead of taking the delay of game penalty, Reid called timeout, and then the Birds ran a draw with LeSean McCoy. If they were going to run a draw, why waste a timeout in that spot?
5. DeSean Jackson had just two catches for 26 yards. He was targeted five times and has seven catches for 76 yards in the past two games combined. Four Eagles were targeted more than Jackson against the Bears: Jason Avant, LeSean McCoy, Brent Celek and Jeremy Maclin.
6. Sunday was the first time all season the Eagles failed to create a turnover. The last time that happened was Week 10 of 2009 against the Chargers. They had at leasat one takeaway in 18 straight.
7. LeSean McCoy's 10 carries were his second-fewest of the season. He still totaled 53 yards and is averaging 5.9 yards per carry in his last four games. McCoy had eight catches for 67 yards and has 18 receptions in the last three.
8. The Eagles were just 4-for-13 on third down. They failed to convert a third down in the second half (0-for-5). In the last two weeks, the offense has converted 7 of 27 third downs.
9. The Bears started three of their five scoring drives at their own 41, their own 37 and their own 46. They averaged over 27 yards on six kickoff returns, had one of 44 an one of 46. It's no excuse, but the Bears have been doing this all season. On the year, they're averaging 26.2 yards on kickoff returns, fifth-best in the league.
10. Vick attempted 44 passes, the second-highest total of his career. He threw 46 in 2002. His interception was the first of the season and his second turnover in 2010. This was the first time all season the Eagles lost a game that Vick started and finished.

|Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller has shown he can deliver when a game is on the line.
Ohio State senior Braxton Miller leads all current FBS quarterbacks in producing game-winning drives in the fourth quarter or overtime.
Miller, who toyed with the idea of turning pro after last season but decided to stay for his senior year, has six such drives, a survey conducted in the past week by FBS sports information directors showed. Miller had three game-winning drives last season.
» QB Hackenberg among Big Ten breakout players for 2014
Navy junior Keenan Reynolds is second with five career game-winning drives and East Carolina senior Shane Carden is third with four.
"I think Braxton having the most game-winning drives reinforces what we have believed about this young man all along: that he is a fierce competitor and one of the most valuable players in the country," Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said in a release from the school.
Miller, who is 26-8 as a starting quarterback, has led at least one game-winning drive in each of his three seasons. He should go into this fall as one of the top five Heisman contenders.
Miller (6-foot-2, 215 pounds) is a great fit for Meyer's run-heavy version of the spread and is a true dual-threat quarterback. But NFL scouts will be looking for improvement from Miller as a passer this fall; the more he improves as a passer, the earlier he will hear his name called in the 2015 NFL Draft.
Denver Broncos star Peyton Manning leads all current NFL quarterbacks with 49 game-winning drives -- two behind all-time leader Dan Marino. Second-most among current quarterbacks is Tom Brady of the New England Patriots with 37, and New Orleans Saints star Drew Brees is third with 31.

VAN - Monday evening the Van Independent School District approved the Districts Emergency Operations Plan which grants Van ISD School Board members, under Texas Penal Code 46.03(a)(1), the authority to authorize specific school employees or other persons to possess certain firearms on school property, at school sponsored or school sanctioned events, and at School Board meetings. Authorized personnel must obtain and maintain a concealed handgun license, in accordance with state law.
Any authorized personnel carrying a firearm on campus will be provide additional training in crisis intervention, management of hostage situations and other training as the Board deems necessary. Representative Flynn (Van) praised the Van ISD School Board and Superintendent Don Dunn by stating, "I completely support the members of Van ISD School Board for their leadership and courage to face today's concerns and challenges head on."
In an email to faculty and staff, Superintendent Don Dunn reiterated his hope that 'an armed intruder does not come to one of our campuses. And in regards to our new policy, I also pray we never have to fire a single shot.' He referred to the lapse of time in the ISD's current emergency plan, citing that these new proposals give faculty 'the ability to protect our students and staff during this critical time period.'

Finding a parking space, probably not at the top of the list of things you like to do. Well, experts in parking think they might be able to change that. One key, they say, is for developers to think about the parking experience when they're designing malls or apartment complexes, instead of just treating it as an afterthought.
This came up in Florida this week, at the International Parking Institute's annual conference. Reporter Kenny Malone, from member station WLRN, was there.
KENNY MALONE, BYLINE: Let's go ahead and address this head-on. Most people do not have great associations with parking. Exhibit A: Joni Mitchell on parking lots.
JONI MITCHELL: (Singing) Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till it's gone? They pave paradise, put up a parking lot.
MALONE: Exhibit B: Seinfeld on parking garages.
JASON ALEXANDER: (as George) This is great.
MICHAEL RICHARDS: (as Kramer) Look, I thought it was green 22.
JERRY SEINFELD: (as Jerry) I remember orange. I thought it was orange.
JULIA LOUIS-DREYFUS: (as Elaine) I didn't pay attention.
ALEXANDER: (as George) Oh, this is just what I need.
MALONE: And Exhibit C.
I'm holding in my hand here a parking ticket from the City of Miami Beach.
That's me on parking citations. I got ticketed on South Beach last year, I recorded a voice memo. I was frustrated.
My initial reaction is (bleep). Yeah. So, bit of an uphill PR battle for the parking industry.
CASEY JONES: We have a lot of work to do, no doubt.
MALONE: Casey Jones shows me around the expo. He oversees parking at Boise State University and he also volunteers as the chairman of the International Parking Institute's board.
During my time at the conference, I heard people refer to Jones as both the spokes model for parking and a parking rock star. He certainly does have a way of making you think differently about the parking industry.
JONES: We're not a whole lot different than the hotel industry. We rent space just like a hotel would.
MALONE: It might not be obvious, but that's a bold statement and part of the key to fixing parking's image problem. Jones explains that in the past, parking was just about storing cars - you packed them in like sardines to maximize revenue. Think of past parking as a privilege - pay up or else.
But in the last decade, that paradigm has shifted. And this expo shows exactly that.
JONES: Highly doubtful that we'll find a copy machine over here in the Xerox booth.
MALONE: Jones walks us over to David Cummins, a vice president from Xerox. Cummins explains that Xerox is working on something called...
DAVID CUMMINS: Occupancy detection.
MALONE: A camera that can spot open parking spaces and then let drivers know. In fact, the Xerox team that changed computers forever by inventing the mouse 40 years ago, they're actually working on customer service-based parking projects.
CUMMINS: Yeah, I could introduce you to them. They're right there.
MALONE: All signs at the expo point towards the parking industry trying very hard to make your life easier. There's a garage that helps you find your lost car. Sensors and digital signs that can help you find open spots. And pay by phone technology - lots of pay by phone technology.
Laurens Eckelboom is with Parkmobile.
LAURENS ECKELBOOM: Change, I truly believe will start to disappear in the next 20 to 25 years.
MALONE: The conversation, at the conference at least, is about helping drivers get in and out of spaces as conveniently as possible. Lost cars, digging for change, circling for spots like a buzzard, Casey Jones says that is not good for anybody.
JONES: People carry with them these experiences, and the negative ones a lot longer than the positive ones. So I can probably remember, just as you can, that first parking ticket and it felt terrible. Well, we don't have to do that anymore. We can give customers tools so that they can make decisions. So they can avoid that all together.
MALONE: There was a kind of institutional battle cry bouncing among the attendees. Almost everywhere you go - a performing arts center, a restaurant, a trip downtown - parking will be people's first and last experience. As one parking professional put it: Success in this industry is when your customers don't even notice you at all.
For NPR News, I'm Kenny Malone in Miami.
MITCHELL: (Singing) ...pave paradise, put up a parking lot.

Gym wants to take over vacant Pawcatuck site
Stonington - For the past five years the space in the Pawcatuck Shopping Center that last housed a Stop & Shop has sat vacant as the supermarket chain moved to its new location on Route 2.
While some residents wanted to see a Trader Joe's or Whole Foods open there, Stop & Shop held the lease and was not willing to see another grocery store open a few miles from its new store.
But now there is a tenant for the space as Bill Kane of Stonington, who owns Workout World/Renegade Sports locations in Waterford, Groton, Norwich and New London is seeking a permit to renovate the space into a Renegade Sports Center.
Kane, who could not be reached for comment Sunday, had been in the store earlier this winter with an architect looking at design options. He declined to discuss his plans publicly at that point. On Sunday, brown paper and two murals of people working out blocked the large windows that look into the store.
On Tuesday at 7 p.m. at Mystic Middle School, the Planning and Zoning Commission will consider a request by Kane for a zoning permit to change the use of the space from retail to personal services. The use is allowed in the GC-60 zone where the building is located.
The gym would operate from 4:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., with three to seven employees at any one time. No changes to the site are planned. A floor plan shows a lobby, offices and areas for exercise machines, free weights, spinning, bleachers, personal training, classes, tanning, locker rooms and saunas.
Because Kane is seeking a zoning permit from the commission it is an administrative decision that does not require a public hearing.
On his Facebook page Friday, First Selectman Ed Haberek called the business an "exciting addition to the town."
He said it has been a pleasure meeting and working with Kane to revitalize the longtime vacant location. Haberek had criticized Stop & Shop in the past for its efforts to stop a grocery store from moving into the location.
Last week, Heather Bessette, who owns I Can Fitness, posted her concerns about the impact of Kane's plans on her Facebook page saying it was not good news for her 18-year-old small business on Route 1 or the Ocean Community YMCA which has branches in Mystic and Westerly.
She urged people to "support local not chains!"
Haberek responded, saying Kane is local.
"Secondly, the YMCA has priced itself out of the market for locals. Believe me I know," posted Haberek, who frequents several local gyms.
GOP candidates can't explain how a Gov. Stefanowski would end the income tax

BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq is open to greater American military cooperation as U.S. commanders explore ways to boost security assistance to the country, a top Iraqi official said Thursday as a fresh wave of bombings claimed 16 lives.
The Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Martin Dempsey, has recommended that military American commanders look for ways to help improve the military capabilities of Iraq and Lebanon, which both face the risk of spillover from the civil war in neighboring Syria.
Dempsey said Wednesday that the assistance would not involve sending U.S. combat troops, but could involve the U.S. sending in training teams and accelerating sales of weapons and equipment.
The last American combat troops left Iraq in December 2011, ending a nearly nine-year war that cost nearly 4,500 American and more than 100,000 Iraqi lives.
About 100 military and civilian Department of Defense personnel remain in Iraq as an arm of the American Embassy to act as liaisons with the Iraqi government and facilitate arms sales. The U.S. has similar offices in other countries.
Ali al-Moussawi, the media adviser for Iraqi prime minister Nouri al-Maliki, told The Associated Press that Baghdad would welcome increased arms sales and faster weapons deliveries along with U.S. training teams to help it confront rising regional instability and terrorist threats.
"We welcome this kind of cooperation and we consider it a part of the existing agreement between us," al-Moussawi said when asked about Dempsey's comments.
"Because of the high risks the region faces, I think there should be bigger cooperation and coordination between all countries threatened by terrorism."
Iraq is struggling to contain a resurgent al-Qaida that is one of the main drivers behind the country's worst uptick in violence in half a decade. More than 2,000 people have been killed in car bombings and other violent attacks in Iraq since the start of April.
More violence rocked Iraq late Thursday when bombs struck cafes in and around Baghdad, killing 16 and wounding dozens. The attacks struck in quick succession at the start of the local weekend while the cafes were filled with patrons watching a soccer match.
Police reported five people killed and 17 wounded in Baghdad's largely Sunni neighborhood of Azamiyah, and another three dead and 14 wounded in Shiite-dominated Umm al-Maalif, in the southwestern suburbs of the capital.
Another blast struck the Shiite town of Jbala, about 50 kilometers (35 miles) south of Baghdad, killing 8 and wounding 25.
Hospital officials confirmed the casualty toll. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to release the information to journalists.
The upsurge in violence comes as Iraqi fighters have been traveling to fight on both sides of Syria's civil war. The Iraqi branch of al-Qaida is pushing to make itself a player in the conflict, and now calls itself the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant to highlight its cross-border ambitions.
Iraq has acquired billions of dollars' worth of American-made military equipment, including howitzers, armored personnel carriers and Abrams tanks in recent years.
It has yet to receive the first of as many as 36 F-16 fighter jets it has ordered, and Baghdad has been pressing U.S. officials to speed delivery of the warplanes.
Also on Thursday, a spokesman for Iraq's Independent High Electoral Commission said a voting list backed by influential Sunni politicians has won the biggest single bloc of seats in provincial elections in the Sunni-dominated province of Anbar.
Safaa al-Moussawi, a spokesman for the Independent High Electoral commission, said the United list led by Iraqi Parliament Speaker Osama al-Nujaifi won 8 of 30 seats in Anbar's provincial council. A bloc backed by al-Maliki came in second with five seats.
The western province of Anbar, a former al-Qaida stronghold, has been the center of anti-government rallies protesting what Sunnis say is their second-class treatment by the Shiite-led government.
Residents in Anbar and neighboring Ninevah province voted last week in local elections that had been delayed due to security concerns.
Associated Press writers Sameer N. Yacoub and Adam Schreck contributed.

Pacers cruise past Magic for 115-86 win
Mar. 09, 2013
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Indiana's offense had no problem handling Danny Granger's absence on Friday night.
Paul George had 25 points and Tyler Hansbrough added 18 as the Pacers used a big first half to roll past the Orlando Magic 115-86.
Indiana scored 30 points off 21 Orlando turnovers and also connected on 11 3-pointers in the victory.
The offensive eruption came after a late-game offensive meltdown against Boston on Wednesday night that ended in a last-second loss.
"It's important," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said of having a bounce-back win. "We felt like we let a game slip away clearly. ... This league is about how you respond to situations like that. And we responded in a big time way."
The Pacers ended a three-game regular-season losing streak to the Magic. It was also their second straight game without Granger, who is expected to miss a week resting a sore left knee.
Indiana was equally tough on the defensive end, where it came in allowing 89.5 points per game.
The Pacers' attention now turns to a Sunday trip to Miami, where the Pacers will look to wrap up a 3-0 regular-season sweep. They were also the last team to beat the Heat, who ran their winning streak to 17 games on Friday night.
"We hit some shots," Hansbrough said. "We were on point tonight. I was trying to take it one game at a time. But now that it's over, I'm excited about going down there. It'll be a fun game. They're rolling and I'm excited about it."
Arron Afflalo had 19 points to lead the Magic, who looked to be gaining some traction after narrowly missing an upset of Miami on Wednesday.
The Magic have lost five of their past six and haven't posted a home win since Feb. 10.
Coach Jacque Vaughn said his team never overcame their mistakes.
"They capitalized on it and then some of those turnovers were ... something that we have been taking care of pretty much over the past few games turnover-wise. But not tonight," he said.
Indiana struggled offensively in its 11-point loss in Orlando in January, but had no repeat issues on Friday as it built a 26-point lead early in the second half.
The biggest improvement came at the 3-point line, where they connected on 11 of 19 attempts.
The Magic attempted to shake up their lineup Friday by starting Tobias Harris at power forward in place of rookie Andrew Nicholson.
Harris, in his second year out of Tennessee, made his first start in a Magic uniform since coming over from Milwaukee in a trade deadline deal.
He came in averaging nearly 17 points in his first seven games, but struggled against the Pacers' David West, who enticed him into quick fouls at the beginning of each half. Harris finished with just seven points in 21 minutes.
"They're a tall, long team, so they take up a lot of the lane," Harris said. "I thought tonight we should have got out on the break more and run them. They're a team with a lot of size. Just space the court. That's something we've got to work on."
With just a short trek down to South Beach now, George said he's looking forward to testing himself against the East's top team.
He also knows the Heat will be out to keep their winning streak going.
"We're excited for the matchup," he said. "We know it's going to be a tough game. They've been playing so well. And we being the last team that beat them, we know everybody's going to be up for that game. It should be a fun game to watch."
Notes: It was the Pacers' first regular-season victory in Orlando since December 2007. ... Orlando is 9-24 at home. ... The addition of Harris marked the Magic's 20th different starting unit they've used this season. ...

BOSTON — Bring on your 2010 demons, the Bruins are ready to slay them.
One year after blowing a 3-0 series lead to Philadelphia in the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Bruins are again up 3-0 on the Flyers in the same round.
Zdeno Chara scored twice and Nathan Horton recorded a "Gordie Howe Hat Trick" as the Bruins rolled 5-1 in Game 3 tonight at the TD Garden.
The Bruins have talked all year about learning their lesson from last year, and now we'll get to find out what they learned.
"Yeah, obviously the toughest win to get is the fourth win, so we've got to make sure we're ready on Friday [for Game 4]," said center Patrice Bergeron after the game. "We're happy with tonight's game, but we can't get too high in the playoffs. We're going to celebrate tonight, but we're going to get right back to work tomorrow and make sure we work Friday, because Philly is not going to quit."
Here's a quick glance at the box score:
•Chara added an assist to his two goals and was plus-4 on the night.
•Horton, Daniel Paille and David Krejci scored Boston's other goals.
•For the third time in three games in this series the Flyers used two goaltenders. Brian Boucher was pulled after he allowed four goals on 20 shots. Sergei Bobrovsky made seven saves on eight shots in relief.
•Brad Marchand led everyone with seven hits.

Science vs. science fiction — get it straight
Science and scientists are taking quite a beating in the public opinion department these days. Sometimes there's a good reason for it. Consider the American Association of Petroleum Geologists.
Every year, the geologists' association honors someone "for notable journalistic achievement in communications contributing to public understanding of geology." The oil geologists gave Michael Crichton their "Journalist of 2006" award for his latest book, State of Fear. But Crichton is not a journalist — not even close to one. He produces fat thrillers like Jurassic Park and The Andromeda Strain.
In his novels, Crichton uses the standard science fiction method of taking a tiny kernel of truth and then blowing it up into fantasy. This is the time-honored method that gave us the "dilithium crystals" that fuel Star Trek's USS Enterprise and the "endoplasmic slime" that globbed Bill Murray in Ghostbusters. The end result may sound somewhat convincing, but is actually just pure hokum. And there's nothing whatever wrong with it — in the field of fiction.
Crichton, however, goes on to decorate his pages with official-looking footnotes, with all the stylistic precision of a high-school valedictorian.They're impressive, if you know nothing about the sources he cites. If you do, they disintegrate.
The thing to remember about Crichton is that he's a novelist — a writer of fiction — and not a particularly profound writer at that. His novels are perfect beach reading; you can enjoy them with a mai tai buzz, or read them the next morning to take your mind off the hangover.
State of Fear is a typical lightweight thriller. The plot involves evil environmentalists who peddle hype about global warming to make money. This would be fine if Crichton were just out to amuse us. But no. He wants to be taken seriously as a social critic. He is trying to debunk the large and growing body of research that shows, all too clearly, that carbon we pump into our atmosphere is warming our temperatures. A prime source of that carbon is the petroleum we pay petroleum geologists hefty sums to extract from the ground. And now Crichton has received an award from the petroleum geologists. Quite a coincidence, wouldn't you say?
In some circles, you see, Crichton's pseudo-science is taken seriously. Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, says he was impressed by the voluminous footnotes in State of Fear. There's a lot of "non-science" around global warming, he says: "In fact, let's call it science fiction." He has the actual science confused with the science fiction. And he's not the only one: Crichton was invited to the Oval Office to discuss his novel with President Bush.
I don't care much about Crichton, but I do care about science. Given all that the Enlightenment has given America, we are flirting dangerously with abandoning it. Good scientific understanding and a sound scientific infrastructure are what made America the economic powerhouse of the 20th Century. Science has saved us from the horrors of famine and disease. We all ought to be alarmed today as schools from kindergarten to graduate programs shy away from even the most basic science. Of course, it's no wonder Americans have become cynical about science. They remember when one "health expert" after another in the pay of the tobacco industry told them that smoking wouldn't hurt them, or that the evidence was "inconclusive."
We Americans tend to be a skeptical lot, who believe that human beings — and human institutions — are not entirely to be trusted. When I was a local reporter, I once covered a debate concerning a developer who wanted to fill in local wetlands. Someone pointed out the scientifically proven fact that filling in wetlands tends to contribute to increased flooding. The facts were dismissed with the wave of a hand: "You pay a scientist what he wants, and he will tell you what you want." Unfortunately, the Association of Petroleum Geologists is feeding the same attitude, only on a global scale.
But the petroleum geologists, like the rest of us, have benefited greatly from American science, and they have a stake in making sure people understand and support it. This was reflected in the past winners of their journalism award, among them scientists who write wonderfully well: Montana paleontologist Jack Horner and the late Harvard professor, Stephen J. Gould. Others winners are working journalists, such as my personal hero, John McPhee, who makes complex geology not only understandable but enjoyable. And the winners haven't always been famous. Montana's humble Mountain Press, which produces handy roadside geology guides, has been honored. There are even novelists on the list, such as the late James Michener, who was widely respected for the painstaking research he poured into his encyclopedic novels.
But saying that State of Fear is the kind of journalism that advances science is like saying that the movie Animal House is journalism that advances higher education. Then again, Animal House never pretended to be anything but a good laugh.

Action began on Friday night when the throwers and jumpers kicked off the competition. For the Lady Tornado, Shelbie Burchfield (Morristown, Tenn.) was one of seven athletes to hit 1.53 meters at the high jump, good for a 13th place finish in a field of 22. In the long jump, Burchfield finished 18th with a 4.80-meter jump. Atlanta Westbrook (Spring Hill, Tenn.) took her first jump of her collegiate career in the triple jump, making a splash in the event by setting her indoor PR at 10.55 meters.
Maegan Henry (Bluefield, Va.) highlighted in the women's shot put with a top-10 finish in the event. Henry threw 11.82 meters, topping all throwers in the NCAA II Division Southeast region. Henry took 13th place in the weight throw (11.89m) while Miranda Broesche reached 10.27 meters for a 19th place finish. Both of Henry's finishes in her throwing events were new personal records.
The Tornado continued setting new personal records in both the 200 and 400-meter races. Lanneickia Brewton (Inman, S.C.) set a new indoor PR and finished 14th in the 400-meter dash, crossing the line at 1:00.34. Teammate Ashley Ruth (Cleveland, Tenn.) finished two spots and less than a second behind Brewton in 16th place, also setting a new indoor PR.
In the 4x4 relay race, the grouping of Ashley Ruth, Atlanta Westbrook, Callie Todt and Lanneickia Brewton finished with the fastest opening time in Tornado women's program history. The team finished in sixth place, just four seconds outside of a top-5 finish, with a combined time of 4:04.04. The team finished ahead of local Division I rival East Tennessee State by more nearly six seconds and finished ahead of regional rivals Milligan College and Mars Hill by more than 25 seconds.
Freshman Alexis Robinson (Belton, S.C.) hit a new indoor PR by finishing in the top half of the 41-man field with a 27.14 time.
The men's throwers had an impressive day at the Invitational. Rickey Bell broke a school record and had a top-10 finish in the shot put event, registering a new PR with a 14.16 meter throw. Justin Power (Alamogordo, N.M.) finished in the top half of the field with a 13.50 meter toss, good for 13th place in the event.
Bell set a second PR in the weight throw, marking a 13.98 meter throw and a 13th place finish in the event. Teammates Jonathan Outen (Maynardville, Tenn.) and Tom Lampkin (Troy Grove, Ill.) also set new personal records with throws of 13.10m and 11.84m, respectively.
On the track, sophomore Earl Rahming (Nassau, Bahamas) blazed a trail in the 400-meter race, completing a top-5 finish in the event. He crossed the finish line in 49.98 to finish in fifth place out of runners.
In the 200-meter, Reggie Warren (Knoxville, Tenn.) set a new indoor PR while finishing 18th of 40 runners with a time of 23.20, less than a second off the pace of the event winner.
Warren and Rahming teamed up as part of a four-man team for the men's 4x4. The team ran competitively, finishing eighth out of 21 teams. Jordan Tippens and Hunter Ford were the second half of the team that finished with a time of 3:27.05.
Also setting a new indoor personal record in the triple jump, local product Eric Jones (Kingsport, Tenn.) hit the 11.86 meter mark.
"It is really early but what we see is really encouraging for the season ahead," said Head Coach Peter Dalton. "We are pretty pleased. We have a lot of freshmen coming into this season but they have done really well in their first meet and those returning came out ready to begin a fresh start for themselves and the program."
The Tornado will compete next in a return to Boone, N.C. for a second stint at an indoor open on Jan. 21.

The opening date of the new Prospect Street Bridge has been pushed back a fourth time.
Kris L. Johnson
Staff Writer
The opening date of the new Prospect Street Bridge has been pushed back a fourth time.
The newest expected project completion date is Sept. 30, roughly 2 1/2 years after the start of the bridge's replacement. Officials said the recent heavy rains have contributed to the delay.
"All work schedules are subject to change in the event of adverse weather," said Bambi Hall, state Department of Transportation and Development spokeswoman. "DOTD and the contractor continue to move forward toward an end date and will finish the project as quickly and as safely as they can."
Local residents Tee Shanks Trahan, 28, and Wendy Cobb, 36, said they don't mind the time it's taking the crews to finish.
"A project of this undertaking cannot be rushed," Cobb said.
"I am happy with the progress and would much rather the bridge and roads be safe," Trahan said. "I can't wait for September �— only two more months."
The bridge has been out of service while crews from Baton Rouge-based James Construction Co. dismantled the old two-lane lift bridge and built a $26.7 million, six-lane replacement. It was closed in May 2010 for construction. Contractors also are widening portions of La. 24 and Prospect Street, which feed the bridge.
The bridge allows drivers to cross Bayou Terrebonne, linking East Park Avenue to East Main Street, and was heavily used by drivers. More than 18,000 motorists used the bridge daily before it closed, according to state traffic data.
Remaining work includes finishing road improvements on Prospect Street north of Bayou Terrebonne. Crews are also installing machinery that will make the bridge move and erecting steel for the bridge deck. Without further delay, this is about a two-week process.
Crews also had to replace drainage outlets along East Main and Prospect streets, which will be elevated to 7 feet at the intersection to provide a level approach to the new bridge, Hall said.
The project is being paid for by federal and state tax dollars.
After the last delay, Terrebonne Parish President Michel Claudet said he was confident in the Sept. 1 date and he trusted the information. Now he said he has been given new dates and doesn't know why the bridge's reconstruction is taking so long.
"I have no idea why. That is a state project. I was told many dates. This is the latest one that I have been told," Claudet said.
Hall said the delays are not unwarranted and provided a list of reasons the project is not complete.
"Completion of this project had to be pushed back. The original completion date was spring 2012. However, several items resulted in additional time required," Hall said.
At the beginning of the project, AT&T had not relocated its phone lines, which hindered the removal of portions of the old bridge and driving new piles, officials said.
This delayed the project two months.
"In winter 2010, while removing portions of the bridge on Main Street, in preparation for subsurface repair and new road surface, crews found the old foundation in poor condition. We had to replace the foundation and shore it up before placing the new road surface," she said.
This marked the second delay.
Four gears, one on each column, were installed. But engineers said they were too tight. When gears expand because of a change in weather, they can bend or break. The gears had to be sent back to the manufacturer to be shaved down and re-cut to fit better.
This process caused another two-month delay.
Meanwhile, not all local residents agree with Cobb and Trahan. Houma resident Joshua Williams, 24, said the past two years have felt much longer.
"They need to get it open. It feels like it's been closed for five years as slow as it's been and with the delays they have had," Williams said.
Sara Mikkelsen, 29, called the time it's taking to complete the construction "ridiculous" as she described the inconvenience it's caused her.
"It has been way too long now. I live right next to the Prospect Street Bridge, and if I just want to go right across the bayou, I have to go all the way around," Mikkelsen said.
But Grand Caillou resident Angelique Duplantis, 39, is fine with waiting a little while longer.
"Improvements take time. It's amazing how one bridge can make such a difference in traffic flow," Duplantis said. "For all the people frustrated, be patient. It will be worth the wait in the end."

Lodi, CA
Dan "Danny" Parises
Feb. 2, 1937 - January 26, 2013
Dan Parises, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend, passed away peacefully
Jan. 26, 2013. He lived a full and wonderful life in his nearly 76 years. His parents, Simeon and Angelica were Greek Immigrants. He was the oldest of three sons. Dan grew up in Lodi, attended Live Oak School, Lodi High School and Stockton College. On September 4, 1960, Dan married Elisa Righetti, the daughter of Italian immigrants, Luigi and Adele. He would fondly call her "Doll". She was not only the love of his life, but his supportive partner in every adventure during their 53 years of marriage. They worked at life together, side by side, from farming to public service to wine-making. They had two children, Angela (Brusa) and Paul. Dan grew up on the farm with his father, Simeon, and became a lifetime farmer of grapes and row crops. He was also an enthusiastic and dedicated public servant, serving as a SJ County Supervisor '70-'74 and as one of the longest serving Trustees on the SJ Delta College Board for over 33 years. One of his proudest moments was the endorsement of Ronald Regan in 1976 when he ran on the Republican ticket for the 7th Assembly seat. He also achieved the rank of Second Lt. in the National Guard, among many other accomplishments.
Dan is survived by his wife, Elisa; his daughter, Angela and husband, Jim Brusa; his son, Paul and wife, Kristie (Chavez-Ochoa); his grandchildren, Gianna and Giovanni Brusa and Sophia Parises; his brother, Gus; brothers-in-law, Ray Righetti (Nancy), Reno Righetti (Linda); sister-in-law, Lina Cutter and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Simeon and Angelica Parises and his youngest brother, Nick.
Dan was most characterized by his love of farming, family, friends and people. He never forgot a face or name, and could strike up a conversation with anyone. He had a great sense of humor with a huge presence that filled the room at get-togethers. He could talk for hours about his conservative political beliefs and his Greek heritage. His children and grandchildren were his greatest source of pride. Whether it was listening, advising or sharing in an accomplishment, spending time with them was at the top of his list. He will be forever missed and loved.
Friends are invited to visit on Saturday, Feb. 2, 2013, from noon until 6 p.m. and Sunday from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. at Lodi Funeral Home. A Trisagion service will be held on Monday, Feb. 4, at 6 p.m. at the funeral home. A funeral service will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 5, at 11 a.m. at St. Basil Greek Orthodox Church. Committal is private.
The family would like to express its appreciation to the loving ICU nurses at Lodi Memorial Hospital for their care and compassion during his final journey.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to UOP Baseball, 3601 Pacific Ave., Stkn., CA 95211; SMHS Student Scholarship Fund for Art, P.O. Box 7247, Stkn., CA 95267 or St. Basil's Greek Orthodox Church, 920 W. March Lane, Stkn., CA 95207.
Lodi Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements.
