U.S. beefs up security in Afghanistan Helping people by aiding pets WASHINGTON — U.S. military commanders in Afghanistan have assigned “guardian angels” — troops who watch over their com- rades even as they sleep — and have ordered a series of other increased security measures to protect troops against possible attacks by rogue Afghans. The added protections are part of a directive issued in recent weeks by Marine Gen. John Allen, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, to guard against insider threats, according to a senior military official. And they come in the wake of a spike in attacks on U.S. and coalition forces by Afghans, including the point-blank shooting deaths of two U.S. advisers in Afghanistan’s Ministry of Interior. Some of the changes have been subtle, others not so much. In several Afghan ministries, Americans are now allowed to carry weapons. And they have been instructed to rearrange their office desks there to face the door, so they can see who is com- ing in, said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the internal directive. While Allen did not detail the new measures in a briefing earlier this week, he acknowledged that changes had been made. “We have taken steps necessary on our side to protect ourselves with respect to, in fact, sleeping arrangements, internal defenses associated with those small bases in which we operate,” Allen said, adding that now someone is Volunteer Lucy Choisser takes Bella, a Maltipoo, on a 20-minute walk on Monday.

He met guitar player and native Iowan Tanner Illingworth. The two often played music together and brainstormed the idea of bringing a music festi- val to Iowa City. Perry was introduced to the concept of what is now Mission Creek by a friend from San Francisco, Jeff Ray. Ray jump- started the idea of the Mission Creek Music and Arts Festival in the Bay Area that focused on rep- resenting non-mainstream and developing artists in the area. In March 2006, Perry and Illingworth launched their first festival that followed Ray’s mis- sion and brought together a wide range of musicians and writers to the community. They decided to host the event in the spring because there seemed to be too many other big events happen- ing during other seasons — such as Andre Perry founded Iowa City’s Mission Creek Festival in 2006. The football in the fall and arts events in event’s inception was based on the Mission Creek Music and Arts the summer.
