Boat owner gives minute-by-minute account of suspect discovery
WCVB's Ed Harding talked exclusively with David Henneberry, the man who found Boston Marathon bombing suspect #2, Dzhokar Tsarnaev, in his boat on Friday.
Henneberry describes the sequence of events that occurred from Thursday night, when the first shots and blasts went off in Watertown, through the moment he made the discovery in his boat. "This boat is my baby."
Henneberry said he knew something was happening nearby. "I heard the booms from my house that something is going on. You could hear the police cars. I couldn't hear the gunshots, but I picked it up on TV and watched until about 2 a.m."PHOTO: Facebook/Michael Zanti
Friday during the day, when he had to stay inside due to the community-wide "stay-in-place" alert, he Henneberry says he been looking outside.
"I put pads between the shrink wrap and it stopped the chaffing and two of those had fallen down to the ground. It was really windy, so I didn't think twice about it," Henneberry said.PHOTO: AP Photo/Katie Zezima
Once the "stay-in-place" order was lifted, Henneberry said he went outside to get some air. He said, "I am just going to put the pads back. They were bugging me all day."
"I went out in the yard and felt the freedom that everyone is Watertown was feeling. When I pulled the strap it was a lot looser than it usually is. But again, the wind could have loosened things up."
Henneberry still did not think anything was amiss. "The framing could have come loose, even though the guy who does the shrink wrap for me is the best. So I went around and found the strap for that behind the boat that was broke."
"No indication of anything," Henneberry says. "I know people say I saw blood on the boat. He saw blood on the boat. Not true."
"I said OK is everything is fine. There are no visible signs of blood outside the boat. I went inside."
However, Henneberry decided to go back out and check to boat again.
"I got three steps up the ladder and rolled the shrink wrap. I didn't expect to see anything, but I saw blood on the floor of the boat. A good amount of blood."
"I said 'Wow, did I cut myself last time?' I thought was I in the boat a couple of weeks ago. Then I just look over there and there is more blood."
"I looked back and forth a couple of times and my eyes went to the engine block and there was a body."PHOTO: Massachusetts State Police
Ed: What were you thinking? "Oh, my God!"
Did you think it was him? "I think maybe, but I didn't want to think that. It's fast."
"I see him laying there just like you see on the film (State Police helicopter camera). He was just laying there by the engine block and the floor. I couldn't see his face. I'm glad I didn't see his face. I didn't see his face. He didn't move."
Henneberry says he just saw it and said 'Whoa'. " I know I took three steps up the ladder, but I don't recall going down the ladder."
Henneberry says he called 911 and said, "there is somebody in the boat and there is a blood in the boat."
Dispatch told him to keep an eye on it until they arrived.
"I think 'My god, we probably slept last night and this guy (could have been there). It was surreal."
When police arrived, Henneberry said, "Come out, get down, get out. They just took me and moved me along. Another wonderful police officer from Watertown came and moved me across the street."
Police took him and wife around the corner. Henneberry says he went to friend's yard.
Henneberry says he is at most an 'incidental hero.' "I was out to see my boat and I stumbled across this."
"I'm just glad.... that.... if I hate to use cliches. If people who were killed can get some ..... (breaks up)..... then I am at peace with it. If I help these people that lost people. If I can help them in their mind then everything is good with me here."
Henneberry says he is lucky to be alive. "These other people were killed. Sometime I just sit and say Wow."
On the future of his boat? Henneberry says the boat named 'Slip Away' is slipping away. "I say it did its job. It held a bad guy and is going away like a Viking ship"PHOTO: Revere Police
Over the weekend, several people visited Henneberry's home, delivering gifts and many people online want to know how to raise money to buy him a new boat.
Henneberry said, "It makes me feel wonderful that people that are thinking like that. But it is boat. People lost lives and lost limbs."
"I'd rather that it go into the One Fund Boston. To buy me a new boat is a wonderful thing, I don't want that really. I would wish that they donate it to the One Fund Boston. They lost limbs. I lost a boat"
The SWAT tank that crashed into his backyard knocked down one of his stone walls. When asked what David plans to do this week, he says, "Clean the back yard!"
When asked if he would try to claim the $50,000 reward that is out, Henneberry said, "Why not, I could do some good with that, too. And I would spread some of that around."

A false start in June has turned into a podium finish for Blues tighthead prop Charlie Faumuina, who is the only new cap in the All Black squad for the inaugural Rugby Championship.
The 25-year-old prop will aim to turn that selection into gold as he challenges Owen Franks for a berth when the All Blacks begin their programme against the Wallabies in Sydney on August 18.
The selectors have picked a 12 backs, 16 forwards mix, with Cory Jane's return to fitness forcing Zac Guildford out of the backs while Faumuina's inclusion means an exit for Chiefs sensation Ben Tameifuna.
Conrad Smith has been included but his recovery from eye surgery means he will miss the opening two tests, so Sonny Bill Williams is primed to come in for those internationals if negotiations with his next employer, Panasonic, and the NZRU get sorted.
The championship would show the All Blacks how they rated, said coach Steve Hansen, and what areas they needed to improve.
As Hansen offered his explanations, the blinds in the conference room offered some Fawlty Towers amusement as they started their own noisy raise and lower routine.
The All Blacks will assemble on Thursday and work for a week before heading to Sydney and the start of their mid-year test cycle.
It had been a straightforward selection made easier because Ali Williams had not recovered from knee surgery so the selectors chose to boost their loose forward mix with the addition of Liam Messam.
The advice from All Black Dr Deb Robinson was not convincing about Williams returning for the last two championship tests so the panel decided to stay with three locks and boost their looseforward mix.
"Ali has just been rescanned and he has some bone bruising in the joint. We just felt it would be easier to make a clear-cut choice.
"He will spend a bit of time with us rehabbing because we feel that's going to be important for him to get back on the track as soon as we can get him there to judge his form and for the selection for the end-of-year form."
Chiefs coach Dave Rennie had pushed for Messam, who had shown regular improvement on the blindside.
"You need some intensity and he brings that defensively and with ball in hand and he has really grown this year," he said.
" I have been really impressed with the man, he has grown a lot in regards to the way he is playing the game. He certainly has a harder edge about him."
Hansen said Kieran Read would act as cover for a fourth lock if that is needed in the six test duels with the Wallabies, Springboks and Pumas.
Another lock, Luke Romano, would be fit from his shoulder problem for the opening test with the Wallabies but was an uncertain starter for this week's practice hit-out at Pukekohe.
The All Blacks planned to take a third halfback on tour at the end of the year and if Tawera Kerr-Barlow continued his form and fitness he would be right in the frame for that selection.
For now they wanted a blend of youth and experience with Aaron Smith and Piri Weepu.
Hansen said Sonny Bill Williams had cherished his time in the All Black jersey and was rapt to be asked to help out again before he headed overseas.
"Sometimes in New Zealand we don't like people who are a little different. It [his exit] doesn't say he does not care about his country. We know he does and when I spoke to him about this opportunity he couldn't answer quick enough with a yes."
Williams had never played the Wallabies and if the selectors had not picked him as a replacement, Hansen imagined he would have received six public lashings.
The All Blacks will play two 20-minute spells against Counties Manukau and then Auckland on Friday at Pukekohe Stadium as part of their buildup and the provincial sides' progress towards the start of the ITM Cup.
Andrew Hore, Keven Mealamu, Wyatt Crockett, Charlie Faumuina, Ben Franks, Owen Franks, Tony Woodcock, Brodie Retallick, Luke Romano, Sam Whitelock, Sam Cane, Richie McCaw (c), Liam Messam, Kieran Read, Adam Thomson.
Victor Vito, Aaron Smith, Piri Weepu, Daniel Carter, Aaron Cruden, Tamati Ellison, Ma'a Nonu, Conrad Smith, Israel Dagg, Hosea Gear, Cory Jane, Ben Smith, Julian Savea.

Two house fires overnight sparked searches for people believed to be trapped inside.
The first fire took hold in a two-storey house in Massey, West Auckland, about 11pm yesterday.
Fire Service northern communications shift manager Jaron Phillips said the house was well ablaze when firefighters arrived.
Neighbours reported people still inside, sparking a search.
Waitemata volunteer deputy chief fire officer Mike Mosby said a couple in a rear flat and a man living upstairs were believed to be inside but crews could not enter the house until the fire was put out.
A search found the property was unoccupied.
Mr Mosby said the rear flat was saved and the building was still standing, but the lower garage and the upstairs lounge, kitchen and bedrooms were gutted.
A fire investigator would this morning try to establish the cause of the fire, which was not believed to be suspicious.
The second fire broke out in the rear bedroom of a house in Otangarei, Whangarei, about 5.30am.
Mr Phillips said firefighters searched the single-storey house after reports a person was still inside.
Nobody was found and the fire was extinguished.
Two crews were still on scene.

Opposition Communications Minister
"It is not going to be easy," Mr Turnbull told the CommsDay summit. "By legislation and by contract with Telstra, the federal government is creating a very complex Gordian knot of contract and legislation and regulation that will be very hard to unpick. But that is going to be a question of the means and practicality."
Mr Turnbull said new laws enshrining the NBN, which passed this week after a flurry of late amendments, would make any future selloff more problematic.
"The legislation makes it, and this is quite deliberate, extremely difficult, one would say close to impossible, for the NBN to be sold. Under statute it cannot be sold until the network is complete. That date will pass the lifespan of many of us, I expect. Selling the NBN will be harder than privatising Telstra was," he said.
Telecommunications entrepreneur
Mr Slattery, the founder of data centre company NextDC, labelled the anti-cherry-picking provisions in the bills a "national disgrace" and claimed most small business would not get the NBN until 2016 at least.
Mr Slattery, who sold Pipe Networks last year for $373 million, also attacked the business case of the $35.9 billion project. He predicted it would fail and Telstra would ultimately be the only possible buyer – at 20¢ in the dollar.
"The new cherry picker legislation restricts any carrier from delivering a super-fast broadband service to anyone who employs less than 15 people," Mr Slattery said. "That is remarkable. That is stranding the single largest employer growth engine in this country.
"There are 1.3 million small businesses in this country and none of them, unless they have an existing fibre service, can get any service over 24 megabits per second – unless [carriers] give open, honest access to their entire network; and that's the only caveat around it."
Several telecommunications providers are upset they will not be able to compete in the fibre-optic consumer market unless they sell services on the same basis as NBN Co, something they say makes such a move impossible. They include AAPT chief executive Paul Broad, who also spoke yesterday on a day-two speaker list weighted towards critics of the NBN.
Mr Broad said Labor's commitment to uniform wholesale prices on the NBN "defied logic" by stopping infrastructure-based competition.
"My concern [with] today's debate about infrastructure is we spent a lot of time in the last few weeks building up legislation to prevent competition at that level," Mr Broad said.
The government's anti-cherry-picking provisions say that telcos which build or extend fibre broadband networks and undercut the NBN will be punished with fines.
Mr Broad argued this would limit wholesale competition and be bad for consumers.
"How do you make a wholesale business work in the NBN world? We struggle to understand how we are going to be able to offer a competitive product when everybody gets the same wholesale price," he said.

The defense has not rested its case for McNeese State.
The Cowboys' defenders were the undisputed stars of the show throughout Saturday evening's scrimmage at Cowboy Stadium, not allowing a touchdown until the No. 1 offense's final possession of the 100-play scrimmage.
"Our defense looked really good. We ran around and did some things," said head coach Matt Viator. "Offensively we did good at times, but we just had so many negative plays. Fumbled snaps. A variety of things. On offense you have to be a lot more consistent than that to sustain."
The lone touchdown came courtesy of running back Marcus Wiltz, who barreled in from a yard out to cap off a 25-yard drive.
"Any time we're inside the 20 and see the blue (end zone), we tell each other 'Let's finish this drive,'" Wiltz said. "We'll keep the momentum going forward, subtract the negative plays, and get into the end zone."
From a defensive perspective, even that was too much.
"We're kind of mad they got that one touchdown," said defensive end Everett Ellefsen. "But it's not that big a deal … (today) was definitely a testament to our work. Coach (Lance) Guidry emphasizes our hustle to the ball on every play.
"I can't think of one time I was out there that I was tired. This is the first time we've ever had a camp where I wasn't tired after the first scrimmage. We did a lot of work in the summer and in camp."
The biggest highlight of the scoring drive was a bone-rattling block by 6-foot-5 tight end Nic Jacobs, who laid out a defender to spring receiver David Bush for a 16-yard gain on a catch from starting quarterback Cody Stroud.
"I didn't see it, but I heard it," Wiltz said of Jacobs' block. "I'll get to see it on film (Sunday), though."
Most of the big licks came from the defense, though. The most unexpected hit was delivered far from the line of scrimmage by defensive tackle Kevin Dorn as he took down receiver Kent Shelby forcefully in the flat.
The defense was also opportunistic, forcing three interceptions and a fumble to go with 6.5 sacks.
The No. 1 defense was responsible for one of those turnovers as cornerback Guy Morgan picked off an overthrown Will Briscoe pass. It was Briscoe's lone snap working with the first unit. He was forced to throw early due to a blitzing defensive back.
The offense moved the ball effectively but could not punch it in until Wiltz's score. The No. 1 unit moved from midfield to the 5 on its best drive before the defense stiffened to force a 23-yard field goal.
"We only finished one drive off, and we have to improve in that department," said Stroud, who was 10 of 18 for 108 yards and no interceptions. "We also had some turnovers. But (we did) good things, overall."
Ryan Rome was 2-for-4 and Jean Breaux was 1-for-2 on field goal attempts.
McNeese will play its second and final scrimmage of August camp on Wednesday night.

Heck no one informed on him he didnt go to a consentration camp for slave labor or get tortured. He still has his first amendment rights. He could have said what ever he wanted to his son or a stranger 100 yards away and nothign would have happened. It was the getting in the face part that got him arrested. Simple as that. AND HE WASNT CONVICTED OF ANYTHING THIS DOESNT DESERVE TO BE IN THE NEWS
than why arrest him and incarcerate him and make him pay a 500$ bail? wrongful imprisonment would be one reason to sue the governement.
(again i want to emphasize i do not think what the guy did is right, but i also do believe heavily in our freedoms and that they are taken away by more and more legislation every day and not one of the officials that run for office nor are elected try to save those freedoms) ..

Clearly I have been away for a few weeks, and because I am not allowed to go into the details of that forced holiday, I will just bring you up to speed in regards to what I have been up to.
During this "extended break", I chose to have a family holiday in Fiji but being a workaholic, and quite probably an alcoholic, too, I find it difficult to stop working regardless of where I am. I am always gathering information.
I learned a lot while I was in Fiji. I learned that the Fiji mainland no longer has any snakes, as the white man introduced the Indians who later introduced the mongoose, or maybe a flock of mongeese, to wipe them out.
This, of course, stemmed from the fact that people from India are afraid of snakes because of the dangerous reptiles, such as the cobra, from their homeland. Fiji's snakes, however, were harmless but Fijian Indians weren't prepared to take any chances.
Isn't it amazing what you learn from a taxi driver on the trip from the airport to a resort?
This amazing animal fact became the subject of my first tweet this week. Yes, I have joined Twitter. I feel compelled to share what I tweeted here as nobody read it the first time - I had no followers at that point.
It is a real catch-22. You need to tweet to get followers, yet nobody is going to see those early tweets because you have no followers. You feel like you are talking to yourself in cyberspace or, worse, texting yourself. This is a real no-no, especially if you are driving.
I now have about 147 followers looking for my occasional tweets. I am not that used to the creative process yet, and coming up with a fresh 20-word gem about my daily life is about as hard as coming up with a 900-word column week in and week out.
I have to admit that, as a new tweeter, I have resorted to plagiarising texts to get some momentum on my account.
Lately, I have been busy tweeting that I had a chilli con carne for dinner last night and that I will probably buy blue-top milk on the way home - all because that's similar to what Johnny55 said to his 160,000 followers.
Initially, I tried to be a little more witty and original. On Wednesday, I made the effort to get a little personal and told people that I had changed dentists after my last one made me do the testicle cough test.
Regrettably, I found that I actually lost some followers after that one, so now I have just gone back to the safety of banal rubbish.
Twitter is a strange beast.
If you want to follow me, look me up or send a self-addressed envelope to the editor and he will give you all the login information. Alternatively, you can send a self-addressed envelope to the editor and we can make a compilation of the best tweets and send them to you in hard copy. It will be reasonably priced.
What else have I been up to? Well, I am glad you asked - many people don't. I find myself in the unique position of being busy winding down for Christmas and busy winding up to get some work for next year.
I am, however, looking forward to Christmas itself. In a couple of weeks I am MCing an annual Christmas extravaganza in Balclutha, which should be exciting. I notice on the poster that they have me singing a set of Christmas carols. Apparently this is what Jackie Clarke did last year, to rave reviews. I am starting to wonder whether they may have confused me with Frankie Stevens.
If so, this could be a problem on the night.
I will report back with a full rundown on how the night panned out and where my invoice is at.
This month, I will be doing my Christmas-themed columns once again. If you want gift ideas, decoration arts and crafts tips or want to hear about some Christmases from hell, tune into this space - or follow mine or Frankie Stevens' Twitter to get the latest.

Ok..."old" is relative, but in any case...I recently acquired a Colt Defneder that was my dad's. For reasons I won't go into, he is not around for me to find out details on this particular weapon. When I discovered that he had the gun about 2 years ago, I asked why he had it because in 34 years being his son, I never knew he had any firearms in the house. His response was simply "I wanted a Colt". If you knew him, it would not be a surprise that he bought the gun simply because it was a Colt, he was an impulse buyer like that.
Anyway, I don't know where he bought the gun or if it was new or used. It has virtually no wear on it, so I am going to assume new for the moment. I tried looking up the serial number on Colts website, but got a "number not found" reply along with the recommendation that I purchase their entire serial number catalog for a fee, of course.
Anyway, my question is this....assuming the gun is 3-4 years old and has never been fired to my knowledge, would this warrant the need for any precautionary maintenance (aside from cleaning and greasing) before firing? I guess my main concern is the springs/levers in the recoil and firing mechanisms. Forgive me for the simplicity of my terms, I am not a gunsmith. I am just curious if these things can become brittle if they just sit for long periods of time without regular use.
Thanks for any input you experts might have.

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Hundreds of uninsured people from around the Cape Fear can get dental care free this weekend thanks to the Missions of Mercy Dental Clinic.
Dentists joined students from UNC Wilmington's pre-dental club to check out patients, take X-rays and do cleanings, fillings and extractions. Oral surgeons are also available for more serious issues. There's also a pharmacy set up.
Patient William East said he cannot afford dental care because he's on a fixed income, but his grandkids are his motivation to get help.
"I want to be around for it, and good dental hygiene is part of good health," East said. "It's a nice day to be out, and the people at the church are just great."
The free dental clinic continues tomorrow from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church. That's on South College Road in Wilmington.

Is Benghazi the end for the Obama Administration?
Now that these whistle blowers are finally coming out of the woodwork and are set to testify this Wednesday...
Is this the end for the Obama Administration?
The details already beginning to emerge are extremely disturbing. With each new leaked detail Democrats are starting to scramble for the hills and get as far away from it all as they can. The suddenly voiced "outrage" over blaming a youtube video that no one had ever heard of as a deliberate attempt to mislead the American public is still a major thorn in their side. Now with allegations of intimidation and threats by senior administration officials against these individuals for cooperating with Congress and Clinton's attempt to cut out their own counter-terrorism bureau from all of the decision making and reporting during the attack coupled with everything else we know...
This is the biggest scandal to hit the Presidency in decades in an administration that has been plagued by scandal since the beginning.
This doesn't even include Fast and Furious, which I'm sure will be brought up in the Benghazi review since it appears that this was ANOTHER botched gun running operation that armed radical jihadists instead of the Mexican Cartels, the multiple supreme court cases that are now seriously reviewing Obama's eligibility to even be President, the complete disaster of Obamacare, Gun Control and many states starting to stand up and tell the Federal Government to pound sand...
We live in interesting times. There is most definitely blood in the water here.

As a scene-setter it is hard to beat - an otherworldly, futuristic trip into another dimension. And 50 years on, Doctor Who still uses the same theme tune, albeit an exciting orchestral rollercoaster ride rather than the slightly sinister primitive electronica of old.
Creators of the show were determined to make the music as innovative as the show itself. Launch producer Verity Lambert wanted to engage a French avant garde group, Les Structures Sonores, to create the theme but efforts to contact them stalled. Instead they turned to the BBC's own experimental whizz-kids in the Radiophonic Workshop for a no-less groundbreaking composition.
They set about breathing life into a theme written by Australian composer Ron Grainer, whose signature tunes for Maigret and Steptoe And Son were already familiar to viewers - and won Ivor Novello Awards - and who later created memorable title music for The Prisoner, Tales Of The Unexpected and Man In A Suitcase (later revived for Channel 4's TFI Friday).
Grainer, born in Atherton, Queensland, sent his simple one-page score over from his home in Portugal for the Workshop's Delia Derbyshire to work her magic. The Cambridge graduate - who had studied music and maths - used sound generators, oscillators and tape loops to painstakingly assemble the tune, using changes of speed to alter the notes and create the melody, in the days before there was easy access to synthesisers. Hisses of white noise were dropped in to complete the sounds.
Grainer himself barely recognised the resulting recording, famously asking when he heard it played back if he had written it.
Derbyshire has long been recognised as an electronic pioneer for her work on the show and Sir Paul McCartney revealed earlier this year that he had toyed with the idea of having her work on The Beatles song Yesterday before settling on the acoustic guitar and strings approach which made it on to the Help! album in 1965.
The finished recording weighed in at more than two minutes - and was released as a single in 1964 as well as being the basis for a 1973 release - but needed to be re-edited to match the swirling "howlaround" effects created for the title sequence.
Although there was a little tinkering each time the Doctor regenerated to stamp a mark on the music, the theme was largely unchanged except for the occasional tweak until 1972 when it was given a total overhaul.
Derbyshire recorded the tune using a synthesiser for the first time, using a twangy sounding bassline and a burbling electronic noise, but poor feedback led to the show reverting to the older version before the programs and it was broadcast on only one occasion as a trailer for the story The Three Doctors.
It was not until 1980 that a proper revamp took place, with Peter Howell using a bank of synths to recreate the tune, a version which lasted for six years, with increasingly synthetic slick versions following.
For the program's 2005 revival composer Murray Gold was brought in to give his interpretation, adding orchestral brass and string flourishes, but also sampling the original Derbyshire version, and over time he has added his "chase" theme on top of the familiar tune to add to the excitement.
The Doctor Who theme has been performed over the years in whole or in part by acts such as Orbital and Pink Floyd, sampled on The Timelords' hit Doctorin' The Tardis and even recorded with vocals by third Doctor Jon Pertwee.

Schweickart sep- arated their fragile lunar module from the Apollo 9 command ship today, start- ing a space rendezvous ma- neuver vital to America's moon landing plans. Brief Hangup After a brief hangup, the two vehicles broke their lock 145 miles above the Atlantic Ocean at a.m. EST, Air Force Col. David R. Scott was left alone in the command module. They were not to link up again until mid-afternoon, alter Mc- Divitt and-Schweickart fly the lunar module, or LEM, 112 miles away and then track down Scott in a celestial game of tag. As Scott pulled an arrow-like docking probe out of the nose of the LEM, he reported: "Un- decked." i But he almost immediately reported that the probe was hung up on -something in the docking tunnel. "We seem to be hanging on he reported. "I'm going to back up a bit." McDivitt asked Mission Con- trol Center if "you have any About that time, Scott jiggled the probe out and told the LEM pilots: "Okay, you're free. You're clear." Immediately after the separa- tion, the two vehicles flew cir- cles around each other in an or- bital ballet as Scott snapped pic- tures and the pilots checked the condition of their spindly-legged machine. "You've got a nice looking Scott told the LEM pilots. Lamprey Mum on Federal Post CONCORD, N. H. (AP) State Senate President Stewart Lamprey refuses to either confirm or deny that he's being considered for a federal post in Washington. Closed Session The Associated Press has learned that the Moultonboro Republican called his 23 col- leagues into a closed session Thursday afternoon and told them he is going to Washing- ton. But he did not specify to the senators just what the job is about. However, there were reports the Republican leader is being considered to coordinate one of Vice President Spiro Agriew's programs. In other legislative develop- ments: The Republican House leadership is sponsoring a Mil to make a full study of just how much organized crime there is in New Hampshire. House Majority Leader Har- Ian Logan said at a news con- ference Thursday that the con- troversy raised last year about rumored Mafia infiltration in state business and government was inspired, in part, by the slate's political campaign. He said ranking Republicans have looked into the various charges and now have de- cided to make what he termed a "little more thorough study of how much of this was campaign literature and how much of it was locally inspired." "Let's either bring up evi- dence and support that there's a major problem, or discard it as a major problem and get on with solving the real he said. A commission to look into the situation would be created by the bill. Logan also told newsmen he's happy that Gov. Walter Peter- son's task force is starting its work. But he cautioned that the fact that there is a task force should not be used to make this "a do-nothing" legislative ses- sion. He said the lawmakers will be able to use many of the sta- tistics turned out by the task force in such areas as educa- tion, rehabilitation and pollution control. But he said the task force could be a major roadblock when "we are trying to get ac- tion in the legislature" because there might be attempts by some to want to slack off and wait and see what the task force recommends. "We have to go ahead on our own with our own Logan said. The Republican leader also released statistics that the House is working harder at this session than it had in previ- ous sessions. Board of Education Seeks Logan said that a total 483 measures were entered in the House during the opening two months, against 412 in the 1967 session and 302 in the 1965 Gen- eral Court. Logan added that there have been 406 hearings, 279 bills re- ported to the floor, 103 passed to the Senate and 33 signed into law. All these are up from the pre- vious session when 249 hearings had been held, 117 reported bills, 81 passed to the Senate and 22 signed into law. But Logan said that although the pace of the House has in- creased, there's still more that needs to be done and there's a lack of staff help. He also said the House is spending too much time wrang- ling over the most minor of bills. Some "Showoffs" He said this is partly due to "a- certain percentage of nit- some "showoffs" who play to the press and the fact that many lawmakers are spending more time in their own committee, hearings and do not have a chance to attend hearings on other bills. Logan also reported that House Speaker Marshall Cob-. leigh is feeling better, that tests have been completed on Cob- leigh at a Nashua hospital and the apparent conclusion is that the speaker doesn't have appen- dicitis after all. Logan said it's possible Cob- leigh might be back at work in Concord nest Cobleigh became ill Wednes- day with pains in the side and told newsmen that a diagnosis was that he was suffering the first stages of appendicitis. Manchester Radio Station' WFEA today was quoting House Minority Leader Robert Raiche as saying he expects the contro- versial abortion reform bill to pass the Senate by a vote of 13- 10. Raiche was also quoted as saying he expects Peterson will sign the measure once it passes. There have been reports the governor would be happier if he were not placed in the position of making a decision on wheth- er to sign or veto the controver- sial bill. It was Raiche's vote in the House, where the bill passed after hours of turmoil, that set off a controversy-in the Demo- cratic ranks of the lower cham- ber. Raiche voted in favor of the bill and the Nashua and Man- chester Democrats, most .of whom are either Franco-Ameri- cans, Roman Catholics, or both, criticized the young college in- structor for not sticking with them against the medical bill. Eventually, the Manchester Democrat came out on top of the controversy. The Senate Public Health Committee is scheduled to hold a public hearing on the meas- ure March 27. "So is was the reply. "That's all it looks like, too, some kind of a joked Scott, referring to the insect-like appearance of the LEM. McDivitt and Schweickart did not want to commit themselves to a large separation until they were certain everything was .working. Because, for the first time, men were orbiting the earth in a spaceship not capable of re-en- tering the atmosphere. LEM was built to operate only in space or on the moon, so it is es- sential that they return to the command ship to get horns. The two vehicles used their radio code names, "Spider" for the LEM and "Gumdrop" for the command module. Mission Control commented' that for sev- eral hours Spider would be spin- ning a web around Gumdrop. The flight plan called for McDivitt and Schweickart to make all the rendezvous maneu- vers. But Scott stood by as a lifeguard, ready to speed to the rescue if necessary. The maneuvers simulate those that two astronauts will make when they launch a LEM from the moon to catch the main Apollo craft in lunar orbit for the trip home. Way May Be Cleared If Apollo 9 succeeds in the in- tricate maneuver, the way will be clear for Apollo 10 to fly a LEM in moon orbit In May and for Apollo 11 to attempt the his- toric landing in July. The strategy of rendezvous, painstakingly plotted by scien- tists and computers, called for the LEM to catch the command ship :by taking advantage of or- bital mechanics, the physics laws that govern the motion of orbiting bodies. By flying into a higher path, McDivitt and Schweickart would require longer to make a circuit of the earth and gradual- Ijj'fall behind Scott. Later, they beneath, their target and gradually catch up, using radar and radio to lock on. Following the exercise, the astronauts were to kick the LEM- away in space and spend the: final five days circling globe to gain more experience flying the Apollo command ship. The flight is scheduled to end next, Thursday with splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean. The astronauts reported they were In good condition, with no sign of the colds that delaj'ed their launching three days or of the nausea that struck Schweickart Wednesday. >oce This drawing illustrates how astro- naut Russell L. Schweickart stood outside the orbiting Apollo 9 mooncraft to per- form America's first spacewalk in more than two years. He wore a pair of "gold- en slippers" attached to the platform, Space Walker holding him fast and enabling him to use his hands. He held a camera, with which he snapped pictures, and carried an oxygen-giving back pack that kept him alive and protected him from the fierce vacuum of space.

Last summer, the aldermen held several special meetings to act on items which could not be delayed to coincide with the monthly meeting schedule. By JOHN J. MULLINS PROVINCETOWN, Mass- (AP) A snowstorm forced po- lice today to postpone resump- tion of a search of Cape Cod's desolate sand dunes which have yielded the hacked up bodies of four young women. "We receive reports of as many as 500 persons missing, in the Cape area every Dist. Atty. Edmund Dinis said. "Yes, we expect to find more bodies..." Three of the bodies were unearthed Wednesday. Two of the victims were Rhode Island girls who had been missing for a month. The other body was found Feb. 8 during the early stages of a police search for the Rhode Island girls. Only the bodies of the Rhode Island girls have been identified through dental charts. They were Patricia Walsh, 23, a Prov- idence school teacher, and Mary Ann Wysocki, also 23 and of Providence, a senior at Rhode Island College. Dr- Daniel H. Hiebert, district medical examiner, said late Thursday that both had been shot to death with a .22 caliber rifle, then dismembered. He said that it has not been determined what killed the oth- er two. Antone Costa, 25, an unem- ployed carpenter and one time taxidermist was arrested on a murder charge. Judge Gershom D. Hall ordered him committed to Bridgewater State Hospital for a mental ex- amination. Dinis told newsmen there was evidence that the Providence girls may have been dismem- bered while lashed to a tree. "Rope was found in the he said, "and rope was found tied around the face of one of the girls." Dinis ruled out robbery as a possible motive, saying that the .purses of both Miss Walsh and Miss Wysocki had been found near their grave. Each con- tained money, he said. He would add only that the ev- idence "indicates an extreme degree of abnormality." Costa, a thin man with a black moustache, stood mute at his arraignment. He was hand- cuffea, wore what have come to be kiown as granny glasses, a biiW .turtleneck sweater, chinos, ankle-high shoes and a parka.

HESS New York Times News Service PARIS Another gold rush developed on European Markets today, fed by a labor crisis In France. The price of gold climbed to record levels of an ounce in Zurich, and in Paris on heavy speculation that the franc would topple. The speculation was encour- aged by the virtual breakdown of French national wage discus- sions and the calling of a 24- hour general strike for Tuesday. The wage confrontation could blow over, observers here felt, but it could also touch off a new international monetary crisis. After a series of such crises in the last two years, confidence in paper money has been weak- ened and interest rates haw soared. France is regarded as espe- cialiy vulnerable because of the general strike last year, the big wage increases that resulted, and the run of the Franc last November. A devaluation of the Franc could lead to a general round of devaluations of world currencies. The government's insistence on holding the line on the Franc lias run head-on into growing pressures from labor for wage increases to catch up with the cost of living. The positions proved irreconcilable at the so- called "rendezvous of March." The date had been set during the general strike last May, when government, employers and labor agreed to meet again this month to review tire wage- price situation. Last week the government an- nounced it would grant a 4 per cent pay rise this year, in two steps, for the nationalized indus- tries. It made clear that it ex- pected this to set a pattern for the civil service and private in- dustry. During the three days of talks at the social affairs ministry be- side the Arc De Triomphe, the government and employers de- clined to go into direct negotia- tions. The debates were limited to arguments about how much wages, prices and taxes had risen. Thus President ds Gaulle faced the beginning of what was inevitably called a "mini-May" next Tuesday on the day when he is scheduled to deliver an important television address. The speech has been billed as an Introduction of the regional reform program that will be put to a national referendum April 27. The new crisis may change the emphasis.

Delicious, healthful strawberries will be available soon at valley roadside stands
Central Valley strawberry stands are expected to open soon, and if the next few weeks remain dry, as expected, it looks to be an excellent production year, report UC Cooperative Extension farm advisors in Fresno, Merced and Sacramento counties. One stand in Fresno opened on April 9, and others will begin selling this weekend.
Valley strawberry production is small compared to Southern California and Coastal production areas. Nearly all the farms are just a few acres in size and the bulk of their produce is sold at roadside stands. UC farm advisors work closely with these producers to help them grow safe and wholesome fruit.
The farmers are mainly Mien and Hmong refugees from Laos, a Southeast Asian country that neighbors Vietnam. When the U.S. left Southeast Asia in 1975, thousands of Hmong and Mien fled their homeland to avoid persecution. Over 120,000 were eventually resettled in the U.S. The population today has expanded to an estimated 300,000.
Many of the first-generation immigrants were farmers in Laos and turned to farming in the U.S. These growers lease small plots and grow several varieties of strawberries, such as Chandler, Camarosa, Albion and Seascape. Few have formal agricultural education.
In addition to offering production assistance, UC Cooperative Extension farm advisors Richard Molinar in Fresno, Maxwell Norton in Merced and Chuck Ingels in Sacramento offer food safety training to reduce the risk of a foodborne illness outbreak associated with strawberries. Working with the California Strawberry Commission, Molinar and Norton have for the last five years held intensive food safety workshops that included hands-on training about proper handling of the fruit and personal hygiene. The farmers were given training materials in Hmong and English that they could use to teach the workers they hired about reducing any chances of the fruit becoming contaminated. Twenty-six growers in the Fresno region and 27 in the Merced region participated in workshops. Many are currently learning about third-party food safety audits with the California Department of Food and Agriculture.
In Sacramento County, Ingels and a team of researchers provided on-farm training in pest management and food safety. Ingels' team worked directly with 11 strawberry growers in 2009 and 2010.
"On the first visit to their farms, we found out their current practices and then provided training," Ingels said. "We came back a second time to do further training and evaluate their progress. We visited the farms a third time to determine whether changes to their practices were being sustained. There was definitely a shift (for the better)."
With an increasing focus on food safety, many produce buyers, suppliers, and consumers want to know that good agricultural practices are being used on the farm. The programs in the various counties help to document and verify that farms are producing fruits and vegetables in the safest manner possible and that the farmer is aware of potential problems and steps to correct them.
Who are you calling ugly?
If life were a Disney movie, we would have no trouble identifying beneficial bugs in our garden. They would all have big puppy-dog eyes and sing sweet songs. They would not have names like assassin bugs, which, in fact, some of them do.
So when we see creepy critters crawling and flying around our freshly planted vegetable garden, we have to work a little harder to distinguish the good guys from the bad guys. The good guys, by the way, are the ones who feed on what we consider the bad guys – insects like aphids that damage plants by clustering on young shoots, buds and leaves, sucking out the plant juices.
Ironically, in our bug-eat-bug world, your garden won't attract the good guys without the so-called bad guys, so don't get too worked up when you see some aphids, caterpillars, mealybugs and such. If you reach too quickly for pesticides, you will kill the allies along with the enemies.
So how can you tell the good from the bad? For starters, you have to get a good look at them, and for that I sometimes use a 10-power hand lens. Even up close, you won't see the good guys wearing white hats, but with practice they become easy to spot. Here's quick look at the most common vegetable garden allies:
Lady Beetles, aka Lady Bug –
OK, this bug does look a little like a Disney creation, doesn't it? Lady beetles feed on aphids and other soft-bodies insects. Lady beetles are flighty, so don't be surprised when they leave your garden for greener pastures next door. But those that stick around will be a big help, gobbling up as many as 50 aphids a day.
Ground beetles
These guys are big, about ¾ inch, and they hunt at night, rooting around your leaf litter for insect eggs and larvae.
Soldier beetles
These bugs are good, well, soldiers, consuming aphids, caterpillars and grasshopper eggs.
With their fairylike green wings, lacewings look like gentle creatures, but they are fierce predators in their larval stage, devouring aphids, caterpillars, mealybugs, leafhoppers, insect eggs, whiteflies and even other lacewings.
Snakeflies are related to lacewings and they consume a wide variety of orchard pests.
Parasitic wasps
Parasitic wasps are a great defense against corn earworm, tomato fruitworm, cabbageworm and tent caterpillars. What's more, female parasitic wasps lay eggs in aphids, which kills the host.
Assassin bugs
Assassin bugs prey on aphids, leafhoppers and caterpillars.
Besides being just plain cool-looking, a single dragonfly can consume some 300 mosquitoes a day.
Sryphid flies
Syrphid flies will defend your garden against aphids.
Spiders can look creepy, but these predators are excellent biological control agents. If you need a reminder of their ally status, just remember Charlotte's Web.
What are good plants to plant among your vegetables to attract beneficials to your garden? Different crops have different needs, so it's wise to check with your nursery or local master gardener, but a few of my favorites include statice, sweet alyssum, fennel, zinnia, cosmos, sunflower, marigold, yarrow and lavender. Beneficial bugs and insects also like dill, parsley and cilantro flowers, so when you're done harvesting those herbs, feel free to let them flower. You're buggy friends will thank you.
You can learn much more about friendly insects at the California Master Gardener Program and at UC Statewide Integrated Pest Management.
Lemons are the zucchini of winter
When we first moved to California our rental house came with a prolific lemon tree. New to a climate where citrus could be grown, we thought this was the greatest thing ever -- lemons right outside our door during the rainy gloom of winter. When dinner and party invitations started coming in, we started arriving with lemons as gifts. But when our hosts invariably greeted our lemony bounty with clenched smiles and "Great! Lemons!" we were perplexed. Only later did we realize that practically everyone has lemons.
I recently told this story to someone at a party and they replied - "Of course, lemons are the zucchini of winter! Everyone has more than they know what to do with."
So what do you do with an abundance of lemons?
Marmalade is an easy choice, and one that uses lots of lemons. So is freezing the juice for use in lemonade when the heat of summer arrives. But my new favorite way to use lemons is making salted preserved lemons. They're easier to make than marmalade and a tasty addition to many recipes.
The basic ingredients are lemons and Kosher salt. But I use Paula Wolfert's recipe that also includes spices. Besides adding extra flavor, the whole cloves, cinnamon stick and bay leaf look nice in the jar.
Make sure your lemons are very clean. Backyard lemons often have a rougher outer texture that may take a little extra scrubbing.
Starting with a layer of salt on the bottom, pack the lemons into a sterilized jar and layer them with salt and spices.
Press the lemons to release their juice as you pack them. Finish by adding enough freshly squeezed lemon juice to cover.
Now all that's left is time. Let the lemons ripen in a warm place for 30 days, shaking the jar every day or so to distribute the salt, spices and juice. The lemons will start to break down, so don't be alarmed if the lemons are no longer submerged in juice.
Master Gardeners develop garden at Veterans' Home
Beautiful gardens are brimming with color and life at the Veterans' Home in Ventura. These gardens have been planned, planted and cared for by a group of Ventura County UCCE Master Gardeners and many people in the community.
Flowers and ornamental trees provide color and shade. Raised garden beds are filled with a wide assortment of vegetables to enhance nutrition and dinner salads of residents. An orchard of donated fruit trees has taken root on the west side of the building. Garden lectures provide enrichment for the mind.
An additional vegetable garden and succulent garden are planned.
Started shortly after the home opened, the gardens and the activity they generate provide much joy and nutrition to the Veterans' who reside at the home. To learn more, or if interested in becoming involved, contact Master Gardener Barbara Hill.
Healthful and mindful eating
The low cost of food in the United States is one of the factors contributing to food gluttony and weight problems. On average, Americans spend less than 10 percent of their disposable income on food — 5.5 percent on food "at home" (grocery stores, retail outlets), and 3.9 percent on food "away from home" (USDA data, 2009).
Compare what Americans spend with other countries (household final consumption expenditures; USDA data, 2007)
|United States
|United Kingdom
While food sustains life, it also provides emotional comfort. But many people (for many reasons) overindulge. As a society, we tend to be mindless eaters, not mindful eaters. We eat on the run, in the car, at the desk, and from shrink-wrapped frozen containers that have been microwaved. Many people no longer cook, or they consider putting the "shrink-wrapped frozen container" in the microwave as cooking.
A little more connection with our food, whether we prepare it ourselves, or not, can help us to slow down, eat proper portions, and make better food choices. For those who don't know much about cooking, it's not difficult to make simple and healthful meals. Grab a cookbook from the library, or take a cooking class in your community. Healthful recipes can also be found online:
- Davis Farmers Market recipes (note: the author is on the market board as a consumer representative)
- National Institutes of Health recipes
- Mayo Clinic recipes
Eating healthfully is a skill we all can master, regardless of our budgets, hectic schedules, or cooking prowess. And eating healthfully doesn't mean depriving ourselves of delicious food or occasional splurges.
National Nutrition Month is just ending, and I spent some time writing and collecting adages that remind us to eat healthfully and mindfully. Here are ten (of many) maxims that I like. Perhaps you have some to add to the list.
- If it isn't really good or healthful, don't bother eating it.
- If you are not hungry enough to eat an apple, you are not hungry. (thank you Michael Pollan and the NY Times)
- Choose appropriate portions. (guide 1 and guide 2)
- Put the fork down and take some breaths between each bite.
- Do not put food in your mouth when there is food in your mouth.
- Avoid eating in the car or in front of the television.
- Learn to prepare three dishes well. (simple is fine)
- Visit your farmers market or produce stand regularly. Ask questions. Try something new.
- It's better to pay the grocer than the doctor. (M. Pollan again)
- Thank the person who grew the food. Thank the person who prepared the food. Be thankful you have food.
It's never too late for any of us to make one or two small changes that will get us started on a more healthful diet. Blissful eating!

JASPER, IN – Delivering on its commitment to environmental and social stewardship, National Office Furniture, a brand unit of Kimball International, Inc., announces sustainability achievements with its Dallas showroom attaining LEED Gold and Escalade® casegoods earning level three certification. The Dallas showroom marks National's sixth LEED-certified facility.
National partnered with PageSoutherlandPage for design services, MEP, structural and LEED project management in earning USGBC's LEED-CI Gold for the Dallas showroom located in the Dallas Decorative Center. High recycled content and low emitting materials such as adhesives, sealants, paints, coatings and composites, and furniture were specified as well as nonhazardous cleaning supplies incorporated into the building's maintenance and operations. Additional project results include:
-Ninety percent of the space is connected to outdoor views and natural light
-Efficient lighting decreased energy use 53 percent below the standard
-Estimated 35 percent reduction in water use with the use of low flow, efficient water fixtures
-Seventy-seven percent of the construction waste (by weight) was recycled
-Furniture meets healthy air criteria with certification to SCS Indoor Advantage™ and SCS Indoor Advantage™ Gold
"We're excited that our dealers, designers and customers have this great, green space to collaborate and experience our solutions and our commitment to sustainability. Special thanks to PageSoutherlandPage for their expertise and creativity in creating stunning, green buildings and interiors," says Kourtney Smith, VP marketing, National Office Furniture.
"The LEED-CI Gold stamp simply enhances all the design elements and the sustainable furniture showcased in National's new showroom and resource center. It's great to work with companies, such as National Office Furniture, that have relentless enthusiasm and dedication towards sustainability," says Lindsey Mathias, Designer, LEED Green Associate, PageSoutherlandPage.
For more good news, Escalade casegoods now feature National's proprietary, water-based UV finish, IntegraClear™, enabling this series to achieve SCS Indoor Advantage™ certification for meeting strict indoor air quality criteria. The series has also been awarded ANSI/BIFMA level® 3 certification which can contribute toward LEED® points. National recently announced that all company-manufactured products are certified either level 2 or 3. Based on the ANSI/BIFMA Furniture e3 Sustainability Standard, level® is a multi-attribute, third-party certification program that evaluates the environmental impact of contract furniture products through the entire life cycle, including the areas of material selection, manufacturing processes, energy used, human and ecosystem health impacts, and social responsibility. Level 3 is the highest certification awarded under the current program.
"From our people and transportation to facilities and product, sustainability is at the core of our business. We're proud to provide the marketplace with more level 3 contract furniture choices to make it easy to not only specify green product, but a responsible manufacturer too," says Mendy Claridge, sustainable and technical product solutions manager, LEED AP ID+C, National Office Furniture.

With a return of experience of several hundreds of challenges in more than 10 different areas of expertise, Hypios CI stands out as a major player in open problem solving. The average time between problem submission and acquired solution is 3 months.
Classic R&D crowdsourcing platforms promise to present problems to individuals from all scientific disciplines. Yet even in such a process, constraints still exist. The first is that potential solvers need to sign up to receive information on given problems. The second is that they themselves determine whether they can offer a valid solution. Therefore, the ability to broadcast - in this case "narrowcast - problems to solvers in relevant fields, bypassing the last filter mechanism (the solver's own 'self-censorship on whether or not he/she can provide a solution) is key in enhancing successful problem resolution. To identify the disciplines and people best capable of providing novel solutions, we have developed patented semantic technology called Hy.Proximity.
The standard procedure when we have a new innovation challenge on Hypios CI is to feed the problem statement into hy.Proximity which suggest keywords related to the problem, and look for experts in our large, cross-domain, 950,000 expert database. Finding keywords relevant to the problem, that do not appear in the problem text is important in order to reach the relevant experts in most diverse domains, who might be able to bring an innovative solution.
A simple and cheap device for closing flexible plastic food packages, to replace the classic "twist-tie" systems.
The winning solver based his product on a polymer material which is commonly used for healthcare devices.The material in question had never been used to close plastic packages.
Adapting existing knowledge from another industry.
Contact us: For further information on Hypios CI products and services, or to launch an open-problem solving campaign to accelerate and expand your innovation process, please contact us now. A representative will guide you through the process and answer any question you may have.

Randell Major was born and raised in New Mexico. His great grandfather Nelson A. Field came to New Mexico in 1887 and started a ranch north of Magdalena, NM. Then, in 1918, became State Land Commissioner. His grandfather, Malcolm S. Major, came to Magdalena in 1910 where he worked on several area ranches until he was able to establish his own ranch.
Randell's parents, Buddy and Helen Major, were long time ranchers in New Mexico. While growing up on these ranches with his five other siblings, Randell learned how to work, manage, and finance ranches. He sold his first ranch at age 25 and has been involved in and brokered many real estate transactions since then.
Randell graduated from New Mexico Military Institute. While in attendance, he participated in Mounted Color Guard and High School Rodeo. He still loves to rope, especially with his kids! He attended NMSU before going to work. He served two terms on the Magdalena Board of Education. Randell currently serves as SW Regional Vice President for New Mexico Cattle Growers Association and is a member of the NM Federal Lands Council. He is also a member of the Datil Cowboy Christian Church. He has four children, and with his wife Lynn, continue the ranching tradition on ranch land throughout Catron, Cibola, and Socorro County.
Randell acquired his New Mexico Real Estate license in 2004 because of his interest and knowledge about properties in New Mexico. When buying or selling land in New Mexico, Randell will be an asset because of his combination of knowledge in real estate and his background in ranching.
If you are looking for a property to buy, or if you want to sell, Randell is a real estate broker that you will appreciate!
We market working cattle ranches, hunting ranches, recreational properties, horse ranches, rural land, farms, and commercial properties.

We have experience in important areas when buying or selling New Mexico properties like financing, water rights, mineral rights, 1031 tax deferred exchanges, public land leases, and ranch management.
New Mexico is a great place to buy a ranch. Beautiful weather, fresh air, lots of blue skies and a low cost of living, combine to make New Mexico real estate a great choice. Give Randell a call. We want to help you find something that is perfect for you in the Land of Enchantment!
If you're ready to start looking for a ranch, you can search real estate listings now. You can also refer to our Buyer's Guide for helpful tools and buying advice. To start working with an broker right away, please contact us.

Might as well jump right in to the off-season dealings and signings taking place…the Galaxy have really added star-power to their front line in selecting Juan Pablo Angel in this week's Re-Entry Draft. Now – will the Galaxy be plagued by the same problem that the Red Bulls had last season…big money in offense without sterling results? Other notable re-entry picks are Fred going to New England, Frankie Hejduk (glad we didn't sign him) now on the roster with LA (by way of Kansas City) and the Fire bringing veteran defender Cory Gibbs to help shore up the back line - a big need with the loss of CJ Brown and Wilman (The Beast – per my two kids) Conde.
Looking forward to the Superdraft in January – my three guesses for the Fire's first round pick are; Matt Kassel - an extremely talented midfielder from MARYLAND, Michael Farfan – another standout midfielder who played for UNC, or, Colin Rolfe – a junior forward who led LOUISVILLE into a title game this season in NCAA soccer. My money is on Rolfe, an attacker who creates scoring opportunities…we need a strong presence up front to help Pappa and Nyarko.
It looks as though the Galaxy may have a spot for Angel if Edson Buddle's training stint with English Premier League team Birmingham works out. He's currently getting a loog to see if he can add life to their offense. I hate see talented American players moving overseas to play…I truly believe that MLS is becoming a premier league equal to those across the Atlantic!
So, 2022 World Cup in Qatar, <sigh>…..
Now FIFA is talking about that Cup being held in the winter due to the extreme heat…this all could have been avoided had FIFA chosen better…like say, the USA! Should be interesting, this decision could affect the World Cup locations in the future.
The US and some of our coalition partners have suffered loss of life here in Afghanistan since my last posting…I am always thankful for the days when we do not receive word of losses. I am also very mindful of the losses our Afghan partners suffer, at a very high frequency.
Overall, we are making big strides in helping to develop a military and national Police Force here. We are moving very rapidly, building infra-structure along with capabilities and a sustainable force. I spent two days this past week in a joint conference between the Afghan National Police and our coalition. We split into joint working groups to help restructure recruiting and training of the police force. Working through the different mindsets is one of the harder tasks. At the end of the two days, all of us had a much better appreciation for our partners…and I am continually encouraged that we are making a real difference!
We have a ways to go…but each week that passes, we accomplish more, build better relationships with our Afghan partners and knock out pieces of work that needs to be done. I have to remember, this is a marathon, not a sprint. We will endure and achieve!
I want to close with thoughts of Christmas. I hope that everyone back home is enjoying this time of year…be thankful for all that we have as Americans.
So, from Kabul, Proud to serve…and, GO FIRE!!!

Federal Computer Week explains how DoD and others (some named, some not) use Google Earth Enterprise (a collection of Google goodies) to fuse geospatial data. Base cost: $100,000. The good news? Client software is free.
I have a question on this:
Interviewed in the Google booth, which resembles the bridge of the Starship Enterprise, Painter [director of Google Earth Federal] said that although the public Google Earth uses commercial satellite and geospatial imagery, Google Earth Fusion allows federal agencies to manipulate and integrate their own geospatial imagery with the company's software tools.
Imagery or software? Isn't Google a member of OGC? Is it moving forward on implementing those standards such that it can do both with ease? Is that not the point of OGC? Is DoD pushing Google to implement such standards? See for example: NGA Announces Requirement for OGC and Complementary Standards
