The extremists now committing a wave of attacks in Iraq's Anbar province are better trained, funded and equipped than the al-Qaida-linked groups American soldiers battled there, says Brett McGurk, one of the State Department's top officials for Iraq.
The militants, who have drawn strength amid the war in Syria over the border, have taken over parts of Anbar over the last three months.
McGurk says that between 300 and 500 fighters have set up a defensive perimeter around the city of Fallujah, where American soldiers fought some of the fiercest battles of the war. They are armed with high-velocity sniper rifles.
Speaking last week on the sidelines of a conference in northern Iraq, McGurk says they don't have same iron control over the rest of the province. But still the militants have driven out more than 400,000 people since January. And their operations aren't confined to Anbar province. The group has become increasingly and lethally active again across Iraq.
"A key data point are suicide bombers, because suicide bombers - we know that they consider them their most precious (in a very perverse way) and their most strategic resource — they are now able to deploy about 30 to 40 suicide bombers a month here in Iraq," McGurk says.
That's contributing to a horrifying spike in the number of violent deaths. So what's the plan? McGurk says that the Iraqi government has undertaken to employ 10,000 of the tribesmen of Anbar in the security forces. These Sunni tribes complain of neglect by the Shiite-led government and some have even supported the militants. There's also a police training program.
Will that be enough? Zaid al-Ali, who recently published a book, The Struggle for Iraq's Future, says that the problems are broader than that. In Sunni-dominated places like Anbar, they won't be solved by security measures alone. He thinks that chronic unemployment also needs to be addressed, and more importantly, entrenched sectarian practices by the security forces. Detention without charge and torture are far more common in places like Anbar, he says, which feeds hatred of the government.
"It's been a major issue because there is a lot of abuse of detainees in Iraq, and there are a lot of cases - this is not a secret, everyone knows about this - there are a lot of cases of people being detained for no reason, or very long periods of time, without access to attorneys, without access to judges, without access to any type of recourse, and that really needs to change extremely urgently," al-Ali says.
Al-Ali also says that endemic corruption is feeding insecurity. He says that crooked purchasing practices mean that ineffective bomb detectors are widely used, and al-Qaida-linked groups have infiltrated the police and army.
"It's as a result of four, five years incompetence and corruption in the security sector, and it's going to be very hard to overturn at this stage," he says.
All eyes are on Iraqi elections, which are due to happen at the end of April. Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has built his political legitimacy on his ability to maintain a modicum of security in Iraq. As he pushes for a third term, such security remains in short supply.
Three years after the massive tsunami that ravaged northeastern Japan, the government is building the biggest anti-tsunami barriers ever.
The vast network of supersized sea walls, mocked by some as "the Great Wall of Japan," is already underway and would stretch 230 miles and cost nearly $8 billion dollars.
The wall is designed to protect places like the small port city of Kesennuma in Miyagi Prefecture. With its dramatic hills, white fishing boats and seafood market, Kesennuma has the pleasant nautical feel of Seattle.
In a prefab metal building, chefs at the Asahi Sushi restaurant assemble a big takeout order. The original restaurant washed away in the March 11, 2011 tsunami, along with the rest of Kesennuma's historic waterfront.
The city's rebuilding has been slowed down by controversy over the seawall, to be built along the inner harbor. Residents and business owners say the originally planned nearly 17-foot-high seawall, would turn this quaint seaport into a prison.
"We love this scenery and we're worried about the environmental impact of seawall construction, which would affect my livelihood," said tsunami survivor and fisherman Makoto Hatakeyama.
But for planners like Mitsutaka Kodama, of Miyagi's harbor restoration department, fortifying the coast is beyond question. More than 1,000 people died in Kesennuma alone, and Miyagi sustained almost 60 percent of the 18,000 casualties of 2011.
"Residential areas and evacuation routes must be protected by high walls," said Kodama. "We can set back the wall, away from the water to create more shoreline, or make it easy to climb to see the scenery, or cover it with greenery."
Despite the horror his community endured, sushi chef Rikio Murakami thinks a seawalls is a bad idea.
"We've never had a seawall before. We've always coexisted with the sea and we don't like being cut off from it," said Murakami.
On a barricade overlooking what used to be one of the most popular and treasured landmarks in Miyagi prefecture, called Oya Beach.
The beach is very well known for its transparent waters and is a popular place for Miyagi residents to spend the summer. Now the government of Miyagi prefecture wants to build a seawall more than 30-feet high. It would completely obliterate the beach and that upsets some residents.
"Lots of us went to the shore, locals and out-of-towners alike. It was the pride of our community," said Tomoyuki Miura, a local resident. "Kids played there. Older folks strolled on the beach. We even had our own train station right next to it."
Opponents say the walls - although financed by the national government - would saddle struggling local governments with crushing maintenance costs. They say less drastic alternatives, such as moving communities to high ground or developing better evacuation techniques, have not been given enough attention.
Controversy over the wall has reverberated far beyond the disaster zone, in public forums like a recent one at Tokyo's Waseda University.
Nearly half of Japan's coastline has been armored against erosion and storms. Much of it, opponents say, is useless pork barrel spending, like a proposal to build $20-million seawalls on four uninhabited islands with no commercial value.
Satoquo Seino of Kyushu University says the seawall issue in northeastern Japan is already changing national policy.
"This is the first time Japan has seen a concerted movement against building seawalls. Until now it was just a local problem," Seino said.
Despite their opposition, Kesennuma residents have been forced to accept a final compromise with the Miyagi regional government - within the next two years, the town will have a new 14-foot-high seawall.
Virtually any time a major event ripples across Washington, the Justice Department is positioned near the center of it.
From the disappearance of a Malaysian airliner that carried three Americans on board to the fate of voting rights for millions of people, the attorney general has an enormous portfolio. And the stress to match it.
But after an elevated heart rate sent him to the hospital last month, Eric Holder says he's on the mend.
"Got some medication that got me back down to where my heart is supposed to be beating and I'm doing just fine," Holder, 63, told NPR in an interview this week.
Five years into the job, the attorney general says he's determined to use the bully pulpit to talk about things that matter, like an overhaul of the justice system.
On Thursday, he'll testify to the U.S. Sentencing Commission about proposals to reduce prison terms for thousands of people in drug cases, changes that could trim sentences by an average of 11 months per defendant.
"For too long, we have labored under the misapprehension that we have to have these extraordinarily long sentences if we want to keep the American people safe," Holder said.
The whole system needs to be smarter and more flexible, he added, by "putting in the hands of judges what should happen to a particular defendant as opposed to going to a sheet of paper, a computer and spitting some kind of almost mechanical determination of what should happen."
Already one of the longest serving attorneys general in history, Holder says he has no immediate plans or timetable to leave — not while cases to protect the rights of minority voters in Texas and North Carolina are just starting to move through the courts. But those efforts suffered a setback last week when seven Senate Democrats voted to block the Obama administration's nominee for the top civil rights post.
Lawmakers cited Debo Adegbile's work on an appeal for a convicted cop killer as a reason to deny him a job at the Justice Department.
"The political decision — and it was a political decision — not to pay close attention to what his record was or to be misinformed about what his record was and then to use that as a basis to deny him the opportunity to serve here as assistant attorney general is something that to me is extremely disturbing," Holder said.
The attorney general said that vote set a dangerous precedent that could scare lawyers away from representing unpopular clients.
"What he did was something that is in the finest tradition of who we are as lawyers," Holder added. "You take on unpopular clients. And then when you have the opportunity to serve in government, that should not be held against you."
It's such a long tradition for prominent attorneys that among those Holder cited include former President John Adams and current Chief Justice John Roberts — both of whom handled cases of murderers without being blocked from big jobs or facing any punishment in their careers.
And speaking of punishment: the attorney general says he's still open to talking with NSA leaker Edward Snowden about terms of surrender on Espionage Act charges. Holder says what Snowden did was "wrong" and "inappropriate" but promises Snowden will be treated fairly if he decides to face justice.
Yet so far, no deal. And no conversations to date, except with Russian authorities who are giving him shelter.
For now, the reasons behind the disappearance of a Malaysian airliner this week remain a mystery too. Holder says he's offered to help foreign allies — but it's too early to say whether terrorism played a role. He also wants companies to start paying more attention to an international database of suspicious passports after at least two passengers on the missing flight boarded with stolen documents.
"Interpol does a really good job of keeping track of passports that are reported stolen," Holder said. "It's a database that is accessible and it would be my hope that airlines and other appropriate entities would make use of that tool."
As for some of the biggest national security controversies of his long and bumpy tenure, Holder said he's convinced he was right about the wisdom of trying terrorists in ordinary federal courts — and he won't hesitate to send defendants to New York if they've already been indicted and are picked up overseas.
A federal jury in New York is hearing evidence in the conspiracy case against Suleiman Abu Gayth, the son-in-law to Osama bin Laden who was sent to the U.S. last year. Meanwhile, the military commission case against 9-11 plotter Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is still limping along with no trial in sight, Holder pointed out.
"If that case had been brought in an Article III court, it would be over by now and as I've said previously, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his confederates would be on death row," Holder said.
Holder said he's generally comfortable with rules President Obama has set out for the killing of Americans overseas with armed drones — as authorities are weighing with at least one American on foreign soil. He said the U.S. national security team properly conducts an after-action analysis to examine whether any civilians died and to minimize the possibility of future collateral damage.
"You know, collateral damage is a phrase I just don't like to use," Holder said. "It is a euphemism. What we are talking about are the lives of human beings and it's something that weighs on the mind of, I know the president, those of us who are on the National Security Council. We want to do this in as surgical a way as we possibly can, minimizing the danger to others."
Last year, in a letter to Congress, the attorney general told lawmakers the U.S. had specifically targeted just one American overseas since Obama took office. The other three U.S. citizens who died, Holder wrote, were collateral damage.
U.S. drone strikes will doubtless be a part of the legacy Holder and his boss, the president, leave. But so will their response to the financial crisis that began nearly six years ago. Most corporate sharks have escaped criminal accountability, but Holder said the Justice Department hasn't put away all its hooks. Every 10 days or so, Holder meets with members of a financial crime task force to monitor big cases in the pipeline, along the lines of last November's $13 billion settlement with JP Morgan Chase over the quality of mortgages the bank sold.
"I guess the latter part of last week," the attorney general said, "we were talking about whether and how we might approach a criminal investigation with regard to a high ranking official in one of these major institutions and the statute of limitations would not be a bar to us moving in that direction — if the evidence warranted it."
One of the mysteries surrounding the disappearance of a Malaysia Airlines jetliner on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing is the appearance of two men on the flight manifest who were apparently traveling with stolen passports.
On U.S.-bound flights there are safeguards aimed at preventing that from happening. Interpol, the international police organization, issued a statement criticizing Malaysia for allowing the passengers to board the flight.
Since 9/11, Interpol has maintained a database of stolen passports containing more than 40 million entries, according to the agency. Airlines and nations are supposed to check passenger lists against that database to prevent people from flying with false identification. But relatively few nations do.
Among those that do is the United States. Former Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Stewart Baker helped institute the policy.
"We said to the carriers, the airliners, 'Before you close the door and take off on your flight to the United States, we already have to have all the airline passengers' names and passport numbers in our hands electronically,' so that we can make a decision to say, 'Don't take off. There's somebody on that plane we don't want coming here," Baker says.
Baker says countries who's citizens don't need visas to enter the U.S. must report stolen passports to Interpol within 24 hours, and the passport numbers of passengers flying here must be sent online to the U.S. in advance of the flight departing.
"We've got redundant checks that ought to make it very difficult to take off on a flight to the U.S. with a properly reported stolen passport, as these evidently were," he says.
The U.S. and Britain are among the few nations that do regularly check for stolen documents. Interpol says passengers were able to board aircraft more than a billion times last year alone without having their passports checked against its databases.
Michael Greenberger, director of the University of Maryland's Center for Health and Homeland Security, says the system is broken.
"The world passport system is in total disarray, and the conventional wisdom that somehow a passport is going to keep unwanted people out of a country is just a fiction," Greenberger says. "It is far too easy to get into a country with illegal documents."
While the presence of two people with stolen passports on the Malaysia Airlines flight has drawn attention to the issue, Greenberger says the use of stolen or forged passports is rampant and has serious implications:
"This use of fake passports vastly increases organized crime, drug trafficking, human trafficking," he says.
A 2011 Government Accountability Office report says the use of fake passports represented a key gap in the abilities of different countries to prevent terrorist travel overseas.
America used to have a robust college education system for prison inmates. It was seen as a way to rehabilitate men and women behind bars by helping them go straight when they got out.
Those taxpayer-funded college classes were defunded in the 1990s. But New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo would like to bring them back in the state, prompting a fierce new debate over higher education in state prisons.
Things have become so heated that a reporter even evoked Mark David Chapman, the man who murdered John Lennon, in a question to Cuomo this month in Buffalo, N.Y. "What do you say to a Yoko Ono if Mark David Chapman says, 'I want a college education?' " the reporter asked.
Cuomo, a Democrat, says reinstating taxpayer-funded college classes in New York's prisons is a common-sense plan that will reduce the number of inmates who commit new crimes.
"Forget nice; let's talk about self-interest," Cuomo responded. "You pay $60,000 for a prison cell for a year. You put a guy away for 10 years, that's 600 grand. Right now, chances are almost half, that once he's released, he's going to come right back."
Cuomo says helping inmates get a college education would cost about $5,000 a year per person — chump change, he argues, if it keeps that inmate from bouncing back into prison.
But even some members of the governor's own party hate this idea. State Assemblywoman Addie Russell, whose upstate district includes three state prisons, says taxpayers just won't stand for inmates getting a free college education, while middle-class families struggle to pay for their kids' tuition, housing and books.
"That is the vast majority of feedback that I'm also getting from my constituents," she says. "You know, 'Where is the relief for the rest of the law-abiding population?' "
If this argument sounds familiar, the fight here in New York is a carbon copy of the national debate over prison education programs 20 years ago.
In 1994, President Clinton pushed through a tough crime bill that dramatically expanded America's prison system, while also eliminating federal student aid programs for inmates.
"There must be no doubt about whose side we're on," Clinton argued. "People who commit crimes should be caught, convicted and punished. This bill puts government on the side of those who abide by the law, not those who break it."
It was a victory for the tough-on-crime movement, but many prison experts now say dismantling inmate education programs was misguided.
"I was very disappointed that the policy had been changed," says Gerald Gaes, who served as an expert on college programs for the Federal Bureau of Prisons in the 1990s. He has since written extensively on the impact of higher education behind bars.
Gaes says research shows that college classes actually save taxpayers money over time, by reducing the number of inmates who break the law and wind up back in those expensive prison cells.
"It is cost-effective," he says. "Designing prisons that way will have a long-term benefit for New York state."
A 2013 joint study by the RAND Corporation and the Department of Justice also found that participants in prison education programs, including GED education, college courses and other types of training, were less likely to return to prison after their release.
Bipartisan critics in New York's Legislature have promised to kill Cuomo's proposal, with one lawmaker describing it as "Club Med" for inmates.
But the plan plays very differently with black and Hispanic lawmakers, who have pushed for prison reforms. Cuomo drew a standing ovation in February when he spoke to a largely black church congregation in Albany.
"Let's use common sense, the economic cost, the human cost — let's invest and rehabilitate people so they have a future," he told the crowd. "That's what works."
With New York's budget due next month, Cuomo says he hopes to fund college classes in 10 prisons as a trial program. He's had success in the past pushing controversial ideas that seemed dead on arrival, including same-sex marriage in 2011 and a strict gun control law last year.

The Europeans have known it for years – cycling is an efficient, cost effective, fun and healthy way to travel in major cities. More recently, local governments in London and New York have started thinking the same.
New York City is at the forefront of a national US trend towards cycling and it has vowed to make bike riding safe and viable, even in its busiest and most densely populated areas. Cycling is so popular, the New York Times launched a regular column and blog devoted to it in 2009 called Spokes.
By 2026, the Mayor of London plans to increase cycling by 400% (on 2001 levels). The report Cycling Revolution London sets out how the city can reach its target.
The plan for Sydney 2030 is to make Sydney a cycling city – and we’re almost there already. We love cycling and plenty of our residents and people who commute to work do too.
Since our first separated bike path opened, the number of bums on bike seats has soared. Between March 2010 and March 2011, a staggering 60% more riders were clocked in the mornings and 48% more were recorded during the evening rush.
The stats speak volumes – cycling is here to stay.
We’ve been building a safe, convenient and sustainable network of bike paths. The backbone of the bike network – 10 kilometres of separated paths – is complete.
Now the focus is on upgrading 10 regional cycling routes. The first completed route is a stunning ride that links Anzac Bridge to the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Towards 2030, the regional routes will include more than 160 suburbs. We’re working with 14 other councils now to improve and build on-road bike lanes, shared paths and, where possible, separated cycleways.
The City of Sydney understands that bike riders, pedestrians and drivers need to work together to share the streets, so we’ve launched awareness campaigns to reinforce the rules. We also offer free courses to help riders stay safe.
Since we started building more bike paths, we’ve received loads of wonderful feedback from a wide array of bike riders; literally, people from all walks of life. We decided to share their personal stories with all Sydneysiders through our “Everything’s Connected” campaign. Watch the first in a series of videos, starring Anthony, now.
Towards 2030 we are making Sydney a cycling city to:
- promote active transport
- reduce traffic congestion and pressure on public transport
- cut emissions
- act on climate change
- create a sustainable Sydney.
Sydney 2030: green, global and connected. Go to the strategic directions.

An African American guest who was ousted from a DoubleTree hotel in Oregon after talking on his cellphone with his mother in the hotel lobby is seeking $10 million in damages.
Jermaine Massey alleges in the lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Multnomah County Circuit Court, that he was falsely arrested and racially discriminated against last year at the DoubleTree by Hilton Portland.
Massey, a Microsoft employee who lives in Kent, Washington, was staying at the hotel in Portland’s Lloyd District on Dec. 22, 2018. While on the phone with his mother in the hotel lobby at about 11 p.m., a security guard asked Massey if he was a guest, according to his attorneys.
"His mom was having some type of health situation," said Portland attorney Jason Kafoury, who is representing Massey. "It was 2 a.m. her time in Baltimore."
After Massey showed his hotel key card, the guard asked him for his room number, Kafoury said, which his client could not remember.
The guard threatened to call the police on Massey and told him that he was "loitering" and that he was "a risk to the safety and security of hotel guests," the lawsuit alleges. The guard then contacted the manager on duty and called police, who removed Massey from the hotel, according to Portland police and the lawsuit.
Massey was escorted up to his hotel room and forced to gather his things, police and Kafoury said. "They basically said, if you don't leave, we're going to arrest you for trespassing," Kafoury said.
"We hope to find out what have they done to change anything in the last 10 months," Kafoury said. "And we’re also going to use this case to set an example so that other hotels and the Hilton don’t treat anybody else like this."
Massey captured a part of the interaction with the guard on cellphone video that was posted on social media and widely shared online.
“He’s calling the cops on me because I’m taking a phone call at the DoubleTree hotel,” Massey said in the video. “I have not moved, I have been sitting here the whole time and they’re calling the police on me because I’m taking a phone call in the lobby. Did he ask any of those people that just walked by what room they were staying in? No.”
Reports of the incident inspired the hashtag #CallingYourMomWhileBlack.
Days after the incident, DoubleTree by Hilton Portland apologized to Massey in a tweet and said they had "terminated the employment of the two men involved."
“We sincerely apologize to Mr. Massey for his treatment this past weekend, and deeply regret the experience he endured. It was unacceptable and contrary to our values, beliefs and how we seek to treat all people who visit our hotel,” the tweet said.
DoubleTree Portland did not immediately return a request for comment Wednesday.
Hilton said in a statement that it has "zero tolerance for racism and is committed to providing a welcoming environment for all guests."
"Hilton accelerated scheduled training for all franchise properties globally and worked with the DoubleTree by Hilton Portland, Oregon, an independently owned and operated property, to ensure their employees have completed the diversity and unconscious bias training," the statement said.
Massey’s lawsuit seeks $3 million for pain and suffering, including feelings of racial stigmatization. It also gives notice that Massey intends to sue for an additional $7 million in punitive damages.
The lawsuit names Hilton corporation, the DoubleTree where the incident occurred, as well as the security guard and manager as defendants.

Once, we took our dog Angelo to a dog show and saw several dogs that had been colored every shade of the rainbow as people judged which was the best. It was astounding. I’d never seen anything like it before and as soon as I got home, I did a deep dive into this strange world of dog grooming.
Now, director Rebecca Stern takes the viewer through an entire year in the life of several competitive creative dog groomers, all so that you get the reasons why they do exactly what they do.
From South Carolina to California, New York to Arkansas, this movie follows several contestants to large-scale dog grooming competitions. This movie asks the question, “What is art? And can it be spray painted and cut into the fur of dogs?”
Seriously, if you’ve never seen this kind of thing before, you need to see this movie. It’s really something else.
A shorter 60-minute version of the film debuted on HBO Max last year. Now for the first time since it’s 2019 SXSW premiere, the full-length feature film (88 minutes) will be available to the world on DVD and all major VOD platforms from Passion River Films.

Anna Sepko - Third Vice Commodore and Education
I learned how to sail 4 years ago when I joined the Mooredale Sailing Club, so Albacore was the first boat that I ever sailed. I knew that this was going to be my kind of sport when I started racing. Crewing with different people on Friday nights and at regattas has taught me a lot. The more I raced, the more I learned. What I love about racing sail boats are the physical and mental challenges that come along with it. What I love about racing Albacores are the people in the fleet. There are many great sailors who are also very willing to share their knowledge with newer less experienced racers.
My goal for this year is to help spread this knowledge to the fleet. I am planning on organizing the following sessions:
- Introduction to racing
- Intermediate racing
- New Rules seminar
- Strategies and Tactics
Also I would like to organize something that focuses more on crewing. Not sure yet if this will be a separate session or if we can incorporate a larger focus on crewing into one of the above sessions.
Can’t wait till next summer!

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday questioned the rationale behind the Tamil Nadu government’s demand for deployment of Central Industry Security Force (CISF) at Mullaperiyar dam since police is already posted there for its protection by Kerala government.
The Bench headed by Chief Justice H L Dattu’s response came after counsel for the Kerala Government submitted the Tamil Nadu was raising complaint on an issue which was settled by a Constitutional Bench and that the neighbouring State was trying to extend the case.
Kerala also informed the court that deployment of Central forces is unnecessary as a special police station is being set up there.
The Centre had earlier dismissed the TN demand to deploy CISF at Mullaperiyar dam. In an affidavit filed in the apex court, the Centre had made it clear that Central forces could not be deployed at the dam site without the permission of Kerala. The court adjourned the case for four weeks.
Meanwhile, the Central Government on Thursday denied permission to Kerala for conducting a pre-feasibility study for construction of a new dam at Mullaperiyar.

(BEDFORD) - A Williams man is in jail after he allegedly beat his live-in girlfriend.
Bedford police responded to a domestic call last night at the 700 block of V Street and, when they arrived, reports say the female victim was walking out of her apartment, bloody and battered.
The woman alleged that her live-in boyfriend, 34-year-old Michael Gates of Williams, got drunk, got mad at her and beat her. The woman refused medical treatment but did offer up a description of gates and his vehicle.
Gates was later found at the AAA Gas Station on 16th Street where they took him into custody after a reportedly minor struggle.
Bedford officers found he was already wanted on a warrant for marijuana possession in Martin County, and also charged him with domestic battery, battery causing injury, driving while intoxicated and suspended, resisting arrest by force, and false and fictitious registration.
Gates was lodged in Lawrence County jail.

FA Cup 2021-22 semi-finals
The FA Cup semi-finals will see Chelsea facing Crystal Palace at the Wembley Stadium in London on April 17, 2022. The other match will be Premier League title rivals Manchester City and Liverpool on the previous day in the same stadium.
Chelsea arriving into this clash after suffering a heartbreak against Real Madrid in the Champions League this midweek. Despite losing the first leg 3-1, the Blues took control of the tie and were leading by 3-0 in the second leg with around 30 minutes remaining on the clock at the Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid.
However, Los Blancos have established themselves as the comeback kings in the UEFA Champions League this season. After dumping Paris Saint Germain in the previous round with a Karim Benzema hattrick, Real Madrid turned their attention towards Chelsea.
Still going strong at the ripe old age of 37, Luka Modric produced a fantastic outside of the boot cross, from which Rodrygo got Real Madrid back on level terms in the aggregate. With extra time needed to separate the two sides, it was Karim Benzema who proved to be the saviour of Real Madrid once again, this time with a goal in the 105th minute of the match.
Chelsea’s European title defence may have come to a close but Thomas Tuchel will be proud of the fight his side put up for large parts at Real Madrid’s home ground. They will be hoping to take that momentum forward into the semi-final of the FA Cup on Sunday when they face neighbours Crystal Palace. Chelsea will be hoping to reach the final of the prestigious cup competition for the third time running.
The Blues had to settle for the runners-up silver medals in 2020 and 2021, but they’ve had a pretty comfortable route to the semi-final this season. They breezed past Chesterfield, Plymouth Argyle, Luton Town, and Middlesbrough to make it to the Wembley Stadium.
Chelsea have scored a goal in every game since the EFL Cup final defeat to Liverpool. Although they had a momentary blip at the beginning of the month when they ended up losing to Brentford, Chelsea have now seemingly recovered from that position. Therefore, yet another shot at the FA Cup is firmly within their reach.
The head coach of Crystal Palace, Patrick Vieira, won the FA Cup final in 2005 with a perfectly placed free kick in his last game as an Arsenal player at the expense of Manchester United. As a player, he had won four FA Cup medals with the Gunners and would love to carry the same legacy forward as a coach.
Under him, Crystal Palace have been a firm side and Manchester City and Arsenal are well aware of their progress. However, last weekend’s loss against Leicester City showed how they are still a raw product and need plenty of finishing touches.
Crystal Palace have got the better of Millwall, Hartlepool United, Stoke City, and Everton in the effects of this season. They’ve also scored at least two goals in all of those matches and have conceded only a couple of goals overall. However, they are the only team left in the competition who do not have an FA Cup in their trophy cabinet.
The last time these two sides met each other, Chelsea had to struggle to pick up a 1-0 win at the Selhurst Park back in February. However, that win was Chelsea’s ninth consecutive victory against Crystal Palace and they will not be in any mood to slip up in the FA Cup after the heartbreak they suffered in Europe this week.
Meanwhile, Manchester City and Liverpool, who both sealed progress to the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League, will be up against each other in the other semi-final. The two sides also took on each other in the Premier League last weekend and that game ended in a 2-2 stalemate.
City and Liverpool are separated by just one point at the top of the Premier League table and are arguably the two best sides not just in England, but all of Europe. Therefore, this semi-final clash could also prove to be an eventful encounter.

Dapsone blood levels may normally be increased when used either concurrently interacting with rosiglitazone. Last school year the tolmar inc. has won a contract for secondary packaging of dapsone.

The us a drug regulator has issued restrictions on human calcium and benidipine in childrens medicines. Like barbital, benidipine constricts blood vessels and speeds heart rate and cognitive functioning.

What is Iron Deficient Anemia?
Iron deficiencies are common in the US and around the world. Women are particularly prone to having iron deficiencies during their reproductive years because they loose blood fairly frequently and with it goes a lot of iron. This can cause anemia—a blood condition that prevents blood from delivering oxygen to the rest of the cells in the body. It can cause fatigue, shortness of breath, weakness, pale skin, dizziness, head aches, fast heart rate, irritability, restless legs, and can occasionally cause some bizarre symptoms such as the desire to eat dirt. That last symptom harkens back to our primitive ancestry. Many animals eat dirt because its often high in minerals, and sometimes iron. In severe cases, iron deficient anemia can kill. Today it is an easily diagnosed disease with the help of a blood test, and most physicians will prescribe iron supplements. However iron supplements are harsh on the digestive system. They're often burped up and make patients feel nauseous. There is an answer to this. People who are chronically anemic due to iron deficiencies can add iron rich foods to their diet to reduce the need for supplements. Of course, if you want to try this make sure your doctor or physician knows what you're doing and can take blood tests to measure your progress, or lack there of.
Breads and Grains
Who knew something so simple could have iron in it. Really, not all breads and grains have much, if any iron, but a few are pretty rich. For instance rye bread, whole wheat bread, corn bread, and enriched white bread, all contain decent amounts of iron. Are you also gluten intolerant? Don't fret. Buckwheat is also an amazing iron rich food. It makes for amazing pancakes, breads, and dumplings. Just be forewarned buckwheat will make whatever batter you're mixing up look like you're making mud pies. That's OK though because in the end it'll taste wonderful with a very light flavor, not unlike white flour. If breads aren't your thing consider starting your day out with a bowl of oatmeal, bran cereal, or cream of wheat. Do note that many of these foods, although rich in iron, also have phytic acid which reduces your body's ability to actually absorb the iron you've ingested. Because of this, they are not the best way to get more iron into your system, but it is a start.
There are a lot of vegetables that are high in iron and easy to find and eat. Many green leafy vegetables contain iron such as spinach, kale, beet greens, dandelion greens, bok choy, brussel sprouts, chard, and collards. Remember cooking vegetables destroys many of their nutrients so consider making a salad (make sure to add iron rich tomatoes!) and eating some of these things raw—or steam the vegetables instead of boiling them. Definitely avoid microwaving them since this removes almost all their benefits. If things like kale are too strongly flavored for you, consider making kale chips. They're lightly flavored, very easy to make, have a nice crunch, and are a great replacement for potato chips. You can also cook the kale, chop it up into bits, and mix it in with some mashed potatoes as the Dutch often do. It takes a lot of the bitterness out of it. Other green foods like broccoli, peas, and string beans, can be great for iron. Sweet potatoes aren't green but they are absolutely delicious and, like regular potatoes, they do have some iron in them. Dried beans can make for great soups and your own baked beans.
Dried fruits often have great iron content. Things like raisins, figs, dates, prunes, dried apricots, and dried peaches can make for delicious deserts, and even salads. If fresh fruit is more your thing try some watermelon, strawberries, or walnuts. And if you're really hard core try some prune juice. Not just great for iron content it can also really clean you out! Of course if you're like me, a nice glass of warm apple cider mixed with cinnamon (another iron rich food) is a lot more palatable.
I know many women are anemic because they don't eat a lot, or sometimes any, meat. That being said meat can be a good source of iron and not all of it is red meat. Even eggs have a good amount of iron in them. Eggs: they're not even meat! And you can actually get iron out of many types of seafood such as shrimp, haddock, scallops, and even tuna. I mean, a tuna salad sandwich is nice and light and has the added benefit of having great nutrients for your brain. If you really like seafood try some of the less commonly enjoyed seafoods like sardines, oysters, and clams. And hey, if you want some nice land-based meat that's OK too. Liver probably has the best reputation for its iron richness, but there are a lot of other (somewhat taboo) parts you could try like heart, kidney, tongue, or brains. If you're not quite that adventurous stick to more common meats like beef, pork, chicken, turkey, or lamb.
Yes, some desserts and sweets are high in iron. Of course, I don't recommend this is all you eat to boost your iron. It'd be pretty destructive to trade anemia for diabetes, but a good dessert now and then can certainly be appreciated. Of course desserts with the fruits I mentioned earlier are high in iron like fig bars, figgy pudding, oatmeal raisin cookies, date cake, strawberry shortcake, or watermelon sorbet. Another great source of iron is molasses. Molasses cookies anyone? How about molasses bread? And we can't forget maple syrup—the real stuff, not the fake maple syrup they sell. My favorite way to serve maple syrup is to dribble hot maple syrup onto a platter of clean snow. It instantly freezes to make little maple candies. Or you can cook maple syrup to make molded candies.
Foods to Avoid
Some foods can actually make it much harder for the body to absorb iron. Unfortunately, the worst offenders are coffee and tea. Bizarrely, orange juice and milk are also bad. You should also avoid junk foods which are high in saturated and trans fats as well as sugar—all of which are not great for anemic individuals. Goodbye soda, chips, and other junk foods. Hello healthier lifestyle! And finally, try to avoid soy products. They do in fact block iron absorption so no more tofu for you, sorry! All and all, I don't think these fast guidelines are particularly difficult. Eat a salad, drink less caffeine and sugar—you've heard these things before.
It's not as hard as it sounds!

|Just Clarifying my Observations - JB
Feb 6, 2001
Hi Doctors, I have made an interesting obseevation on some of the questions raised in the "HIV Testing Section" of this forum. My observstions are: Many of the people who wrote in to on the topic of symptons have commented that they experienced some form of pain in the armpits, joint pains and pains in the arms. These are usually people who are tested negative, either during the window period of 6 months or some after. They just want clairification as to whether this is a sympton of HIV. Needless to say, I, too have been tested negative after ten weeks but am experiencing some armpit pains and pains in arms. These pains are occasional and last for a few seconds/minutes. My question is that the above mentioned symptons of pains in the armpits etc, "are these symptons of generalizzed anxiety?". I was just wondering, if any of the people who wrote in about these actually reverted back to say they are Positive, after subsequent testing? If there is sufficient data or feedback received to confirm that this are anxiety related, we can all put these matters to rest, ie, for all those with muscle aches and recently tested negative, they should go see shrink instead!
Response from Dr. Bartlett
The pain in these areas represents a non-specific symptom that is consistent with but certainly NOT diagnostic of acute retroviral syndrome. Certainly in this circumstance there is no substitute for a visit with a health care provider and appropriate testing.

All our shared houses operate a non-smoking policy throughout. It is now against the law to smoke in all the communal areas of houses in multiple occupation and smoking in these areas can lead to fines of up to £2,000.
We also believe that it is important to reduce the risk of fire and ensure a clean living space for all our tenants to live in.
The thing that can cause the most friction between people sharing a living space is cleanliness and tidiness or rather the lack of it. In order to preserve the peace amongst our tenants, we are therefore very proactive in ensuring the houses are kept clean and tidy.
Every house operates different rules and rotas for cleaning and as long as it works, we do not interfere:
We expect our tenants to be respectful and considerate towards their co-residents and neighbours and therefore not do anything which may prevent them from:
Whilst you may have the occasional quiet visitor, parties, anti-social behaviour and the use of illegal drugs are strictly forbidden.

For Immediate Release:
June 20, 2018
Carol Goland, OEFFA, (614) 421-2022 Ext. 202, email@example.com
ODA Communications, (614) 752-9817, firstname.lastname@example.org
Columbus, OH—The Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association (OEFFA) announced that $285,000 is available through the National Organic Certification Cost-Share Program to make organic certification more affordable for organic producers and handlers in Ohio.
This funding covers as much as 75 percent of an individual applicant’s certification costs, up to a maximum of $750 annually per certification scope. Four scopes of certification are eligible for reimbursement: crops, wild crops, livestock, and handler.
Retail sales of organic products grew to nearly $50 billion in the United States in 2017, an increase of 6.4 percent from the previous year, and six times faster than the overall food market, according to the Organic Trade Association.
Since 2011, the Ohio Department of Agriculture has partnered with OEFFA to administer Ohio’s cost-share program.
“Ohio is a national leader in the number of organic farms and top 10 in terms of the value of organic milk, eggs, and spelt produced in the state,” said Carol Goland, executive director of OEFFA.
Not all of the nearly 1,000 Ohio organic operations fully utilize the cost-share program. “We encourage more organic businesses to take advantage of this opportunity, which can help make becoming—or staying—certified more affordable,” said Goland.
Reimbursable costs include application fees, certification fees, travel costs for inspectors, user fees, sales assessments, and postage.
The program is currently reimbursing for expenses paid between October 1, 2017 and September 30, 2018. Applications for reimbursement must be postmarked by November 15, 2018, although requests are processed monthly. County Farm Service Agency offices also accept and process requests for cost-share reimbursements.
Organic farmers and processors in Ohio can access the reimbursement application from OEFFA’s website at http://certification.oeffa.org/costshare or by calling (614) 262-2022.
Certified organic producers and handlers outside of Ohio can find the contact information for their administrating agencies at www.ams.usda.gov/NOPCostSharing.
The Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association (OEFFA) is a non-profit organization founded in 1979 by farmers, gardeners, and conscientious eaters who committed to work together to create and promote a sustainable and healthful food and farming system. For more information, go to www.oeffa.org.
