Pete Carroll: Always Compete

How many times do we hear a sad story on the local news and wish there was something we could do about it?

?and then go back to our lives unchanged?

We?re all guilty of it. ?What can we do?? is the simple question we ask ourselves as we hop back into our routine.

Pete Carroll faced a similar situation in 2003 as head coach of University of Southern California when he heard a news broadcast about a local LA child who had been killed due to gang violence.

Something struck a chord in the football coach and he knew he had to change something. The man known for his catchphrase ?Always Compete? knew he had to compete for a better LA.

So twice a month, Pete Carroll left his home at night and drove to South L.A. where gang wars are prevalent and most see no hope of escape.

As Kurt Streeter of the LA Times noted, ?These are not recruiting visits. He?s trying to save lives.?

Carroll would walk the streets and talk to anyone who would stop, listening to their story, encouraging, and just learning about them.

?I don?t go to judge?just to show that someone cares. Just to give people here a little hope,? he says.

Carroll started A Better LA in the midst of his late night ventures. The organization is dedicated to ending inner-city violence and Carroll hopes that the self-improvement thinking he has long used with coaching will help the individuals trapped in poor and dangerous neighborhoods.

With the help of former gang member Bo Taylor, Carroll and his A Better LA team work to identify the charismatic gang leaders, befriend them, and help them change if needed.

The former head coach of USC ? one of the most well-known and well-liked personalities in Hollywood ? put himself in harm?s way consistently to save lives. How many of us can say that?

Despite his departure to the NFL?s Seattle Seahawks in 2010, the football coach continues to support the LA communities through A Better LA while creating a partner organization ? A Better Seattle ? in his new town.

?The more people who learn about it and spread the word, the better. We?ve learned that you can be so powerful as a force ? by helping others.?

Pakistani court acquits 4 of helping NYC bomber

ISLAMABAD (AP) ? A Pakistani anti-terrorism court on Saturday acquitted four men who had been charged with helping a Pakistani-American man carry out a failed attempt to detonate a truck bomb in New York's Times Square, said their lawyer and family members.

The four were arrested in the wake of Faisal Shahzad's May 2010 attack, which fizzled when the explosives in his vehicle produced smoke but no blast. Shahzad has pleaded guilty and admitted to getting training from the Pakistani Taliban in the country's tribal region along the Afghan border. He was sentenced to life in prison in the U.S.

The attempted attack increased tension between Pakistan and the United States, which has long accused Islamabad of not doing enough to crack down on militants on its soil who pose a threat to the West.

Even though the men acquitted Saturday had been in custody for two years, very few details had emerged about their closed-door trial in an anti-terrorism court in Rawalpindi, next to the capital Islamabad.

Such trials rarely produce convictions in Pakistan because police often lack basic investigative skills, prosecutors lack training in terror cases and judges and witnesses are often subject to intimidation.

One of the men released Saturday, Muhammad Shoaib Mughal, had been charged with providing Shahzad with financial assistance, said his lawyer, Malik Imran Safdar. The other three men, Humbal Akhtar, Muhammad Shahid Husain and Faisal Abbasi were charged as Mughal's accomplices, said Safdar.

Following their arrests, several of the men were also accused of helping Shahzad link up with militants in the tribal region. But those accusations do not seem to have resulted in any charges.

Akhtar's father said he was ecstatic at his son's release.

"I have suffered a lot during these two tough years," said Muhammed Akhtar. "Finally I got justice."

Two other men arrested by Pakistan in the wake of the attempted Times Square attack were previously released. It's unclear if Pakistan has any other suspects in custody.

Human rights groups have long criticized Pakistani security officials for holding suspects for months, even years, without filing charges or divulging any information about their cases.

Most of the men acquitted Saturday come from the same stock as Shahzad ? wealthy, urban, educated and with careers in computers, telecommunications and graphic design. Mughal was running a large computer dealership in Islamabad before his detention.

One of the things that Shahzad said motivated him to carry out his attack was U.S. drone strikes targeting militants in Pakistan's tribal region. The strikes are very unpopular in Pakistan because many citizens believe they mostly kill innocent people, an allegation disputed by the U.S.

The strikes have continued to cause tension between the U.S. and Pakistani governments, but American officials have made it clear that they have no intention of stopping the attacks, which they see as vital to fighting al-Qaida and the Taliban.

The latest strike occurred Saturday when a drone fired two missiles at a motorbike in Dogh village in the South Waziristan tribal area, killing two suspected militants, said Pakistani intelligence officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media. It was the fifth such strike in the country in less than two weeks.

Associated Press writers Ishtiaq Mahsud in Dera Ismail Khan and Rebecca Santana in Islamabad contributed to this report.
