22nd Alaska paratrooper killed
The Alaska-based paratroopers range in age from 20 to 34 and they hail from all over the nation. And the troops are being killed in action -- sometimes one at a time, and at others times four at a time, as with an ambush Saturday in Karbala. "They were attacked with grenades, small arms and indirect fire by an illegal-armed militia group," said Garrett. There is word today that Alaska's troops are making progress in the search for the enemy behind that attack. "We have personnel in our custody. At this time, we know that it was conducted by some well-trained militia or organization," said Garrett. Alaska's paratroopers have a deep reach in Iraq, touching regions in nearly every direction beyond Baghdad, including Karbala, Fallujah and Al Hillah. Garrett acknowledged it's a lot of ground to cover.

Quick attacks highway robbery
FORMER Labor MP Harry Quick says money wanted for the Kingston bypass will be used to prop up northern marginal seats. Mr Quick said he would be surprised if the road was finished before 2010 because Tasmania now had to rely on the State Government to pay half the $30 million. On Tuesday, it was revealed that a budgeted plan by the previous federal government to spend $30 million on the bypass was off. The Rudd Government would keep its promise to half-fund the bypass, leaving the Lennon Government to fork out $15 million as agreed. Each year, daily traffic on the Southern Outlet grows by more than 1000 vehicles, frustrating peak-hour commuters. Mr Quick posted one of more than 50 comments on the Mercury website yesterday. "Why was I not surprised to read via the net in today's Mercury that once again the Federal Government had shafted the people of Franklin?" he wrote from Beijing.

Plans hinge on 'Millionaire'
Alexander and Bowker have been tuning in all week for the show's "Wedding Week" to see how other chosen couples have fared. "We're definitely nervous. When we watched the episodes this week, I was sweating. Even though you know it's going to happen, you just never know what you look like or what you said," Alexander said. "They call it a hot seat for a reason." The Yorkville couple recorded the game show every day and watched it "religiously" after work to prepare for the trivia game show, she said. Although she would not reveal details about the episodes, Alexander noted that host Vieira was "gorgeous, beautiful and so nice," and gave hugs to the couple when it was all over. The couple plans to wed July 12. They moved to Yorkville in April for job opportunities and a chance to own a home instead of renting in Chicago.
Rams offer new hope in new course
In more ways than one, the Rams are in transition. The franchise changed hands with the death of beloved owner Georgia Frontiere. Her son, Chip Rosenbloom, is in control now, though it will take time for him to assume a more proactive role.
To their credit, the Rams aren't moping around, waiting for a dramatic transformation to occur, until a new course is set by Rosenbloom. Instead, the front office and coaching staff are making things happen.
"We just have to go," Rams general manager Jay Zygmunt said. "We're circling the wagons. We don't get this time back. It's an important offseason. You just can't stop."
The Rams are off to an encouraging start in their attempt to dig out from under a disastrous 3-13 season. .
Chairman Bernanke's Testimony: Easing is on the table, but inflation ...
Indeed, the further increases in the prices of energy and other commodities in recent weeks, together with the latest data on consumer prices, suggest slightly greater upside risks to the projections of both overall and core inflation than we saw last month. Should high rates of overall inflation persist, the possibility also exists that inflation expectations could become less well anchored. Any tendency of inflation expectations to become unmoored or for the Fed's inflation-fighting credibility to be eroded could greatly complicate the task of sustaining price stability and could reduce the flexibility of the FOMC to counter shortfalls in growth in the future." Inflation expectations, as measured by the difference between the nominal Treasury note yield and the Treasury Inflation-Protected securities, have risen noticeably since the lows seen in January 23 (see chart 1).
