Coast Guard: 2 dead in shootings at Alaska station =>

(AP) KODIAK, Alaska - Two Coast Guard members were fatally shot at a com-
munications station on an island off Alaska, officials said Thursday.
Officials said it remained unclear if the deaths at the Coast Guard Station
on Kodiak Island were a double homicide or a murder-suicide. Capt. Jesse
Moore said it was "possible that the suspect remains at large."
Officials said the base and nearby schools were on lockdown. Moore told
the city's 6,300 or so residents "to remain vigilant and to report any
suspicious activity to local law enforcement officials" until more details
emerge.
The FBI said agents were headed to Kodiak from Anchorage about 250 miles away.

American Universities Infected by Foreign Spies Detected by FBI =>

d-by-foreign-spies-detected-by-fbi.html
“We have intelligence and cases indicating that U.S. universities
are indeed a target of foreign intelligence services,” Frank
Figliuzzi, Federal Bureau of Investigation assistant director for
counterintelligence, said in a February interview in the bureau’s
Washington headquarters.
‘Academic Solicitation’
While overshadowed by espionage against corporations, efforts by
foreign countries to penetrate universities have increased in the
past five years, Figliuzzi said. The FBI and academia, which have
often been at loggerheads, are working together to combat the threat,
he said.

Yeah, to get a decent deal on internet and cable, I had to get a bundle - internet, cable TV, and home phone. I tried explaining that I haven't had a land line in years, and don't even own a plug-in telephone, but they really didn't care. I ended up going with the bundle and just not having a phone - every time I needed something, I'd call, and they'd ask for my phone number, and I'd give 'em my cell, and they'd say 'That doesn't match what's on our records,' and I'd have to go and dig around for something with my phone number on it.
So this had gone on for a couple years, and then they started offering the same deal to "new customers" for much less than I was paying, so I called and went ballistic. And they dumped the phone, upgraded the internet service, and threw HBO, Showtime, Starz, Cinemax, and The Movie Channel, all for less than I was paying before.
And there's HBO Go for the computer, so I've been catching up. "Inside Job", "Too Big to Fail", etc. "Gasland" is on the list too, of course.

Around the globe today, nervous souls might

San Francisco: Tragic accident in the annual sailboat race around the Farallon Islands
Coast Guard halts high-seas hunt for boaters off San Francisco =>

The U.S. Coast Guard has indefinitely suspended the search for survivors of a
boating accident off the San Francisco coast that left one person dead and four
missing in heavy seas on Saturday.
The accident occurred during an annual sailboat race around the Farallon Islands
that has been a tradition since the early 1900s. U.S. Coast Guard Officer Levi
Read said the Coast Guard received a mayday call from a vessel about 3 p.m.
reporting that another boat -- the 38-foot sailboat Low Speed Chase -- had run
aground on rocks near the islands.
A Coast Guard helicopter rescued two people from the rocks, Read said. An Air
National Guard helicopter rescued another person and also recovered the body
of a person who had drowned ...

The question has haunted me for nearly 30 years.
Well, that's a tad melodramatic. It's more accurate to say that it caught in my
craw like a tiny treble hook and has upset many introspective reviews of my days
in journalism.
It happened at one of those career days in the early 1980s at an East Salinas
elementary school to which my compadre Roberto had dragged me with a promise
of buying lunch.
"Have you ever met anyone famous?" the bright-eyed, fourth-grade interrogator
asked with cruel innocence. ...

FBI remains quiet on details of Coast Guard killings =>
http://www.thenewstribune.com/2012/04/16/2110079/fbi-remains-quiet-on-
details-of.html
An FBI spokesman says there's little new that can be released in the
investigation of a double homicide at a Coast Guard air station on
Kodiak Island.
Eric Gonzalez said Monday agents are not releasing details because it
could affect the integrity of the investigation.
The FBI is the lead agency in the shooting deaths of 41-year-old Petty
Officer 1st Class James Hopkins and 51-year-old Richard Belisle.
Hopkins was an electronics technician from Vergennes, Vt.
Belisle was a retired Coast Guard chief petty officer who worked at
the base as a civilian employee.
Gonzales says he can't comment on whether investigators have recovered
a weapon or why law enforcement officials continue to say there is no
direct threat to the community even though no suspect is in custody.
