Funeral held for mother, baby killed in US mystery
By Jason Szep
PLYMOUTH, Massachusetts (Reuters) - Mourners packed a 19th-century Catholic Church on Wednesday for the funeral of a 27-year-old woman and her infant daughter whose double murder mystery has captured attention on both sides of the Atlantic.
Missing from the estimated 500 people crammed into St. Peter Parish in Plymouth, Massachusetts, was a person who may be able to shed some light on the crime: Neil Entwistle, the victims' husband and father who flew to his native England around the estimated time of the murders.
Rachel Souza Entwistle was found dead on January 22 in her bedroom alongside her nine-month-old baby Lillian Rose in their home in Hopkinton, about 30 miles west of Boston. Both had been shot with a small-caliber gun which has not been found. They were discovered by police under layers of blankets.

From the people that brought you Gitmo...
The people that brought you Gitmo are at it again, and this time their camps could be located right in the mainland U.S. These camps could be activated in the event of an "emergency", such as a threat to U.S. "national security" resulting from an attack on Iran and/or the expulsion of the Palestinians from East Jerusalem and the West Bank. Chances are, though, the camps may be populated not just with illegal immigrants but with Moslems and others whose religious beliefs are "incompatible with a democratic society".
... At about the same time Savage began his latest diatribe, word came that a conditional $385-million contract has been issued to the Kellogg Brown Root (KBR) subsidiary of Halliburton to construct temporary detention and processing camps--concentration camps--for Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE). ICE could use such camps as part of its so-called "removal program". Halliburton was apparently selected, in part, due to its previous and highly successful installation at the Gitmo facility in Cuba.
The U.S. is currently swamped with nearly 20-million illegal immigrants, mostly from Mexico. These are creating an intolerable social-welfare burden on many local governments and depressing overall U.S. wages. However, President Bush, in his recent State of the Union message, proposed legalizing such individuals through a "guest worker" proposal. So it's unlikely ICE would be targeting any such documented aliens in a future program of removal.
Other Neoconservative talk-show hosts have decried the presence of "Arabs" in South and Central America, citing countries such as Paraguay as particularly egregious examples.

Carlyle Group considers investing in SEE
10:38 - 02 February 2006 - According to sources close to investment matters the Carlyle Group is serioulsy considering to invest in SEE, preferably in Media. Same sources say that approaches have been already made in most of the area countries. The Carlyle Group is a private investment bank which doesn't come to the publics attention very often but it is one of the biggest American (ed: USA) investors of the defense industry, telecom, property and financial services.
On their payroll are people like : George Bush (Sr.), James Baker III and old premier John Major.
The offices of the Carlyle Group are on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington DC, midway between the White House and the Capitol building.
The address reflects Carlyle's position at the very centre of the Washington establishment, analysts say
One of the Groups ex chairmen was Frank Carlucci - Ronald Reagan's defence secretary and a former deputy director of the CIA.
When Carlucci arrived there in 1989, he brought with him a phalanx of former subordinates from the CIA and the Pentagon, and an awareness of the scale of business a company like Carlyle could do.

3 tornadoes rip swath from airport to Lakeview
By Bob Ross
East Jefferson bureau A trio of tornadoes spawned from severe thunderstorms damaged one of the four concourses at Armstrong International Airport and tore apart dozens of homes and businesses from Kenner to Lakeview, knocking out power to more than 30,000 customers and dealing even more misery to some of Katrina’s hardest-hit victims. Despite severe damage to some structures in Lakeview, Kenner and the old Jefferson area, only a few minor injuries were reported in the violent weather that struck in the pre-dawn hours Thursday, authorities said. “Going out and seeing some of the damage — trailers turned over, power lines and transformers down — you would think someone could have gotten hurt pretty bad,” said Kenner Councilman Marc Johnson. “We are truly blessed.” All three tornadoes were at least 150 yards wide with winds in excess of 72 mph. The strongest one reached wind speeds exceeding 113 mph and cut a 2.5-mile swath from the eastern edge of Metairie through Lakeview to the lakefront. The first tornado began at River Road, southeast of the airport near the St. Charles Parish line, at about 2:34 a.m. It traveled northeast across the airfield to Williams Boulevard at 22nd Avenue, according to meterologist Mike Koziara. Its path was approximately 2 miles long. Koziara, a science and operations officer for the National Weather Service, was part of a survey team that visited the affected areas Thursday. They observed roofs peeled from warehouses, damaged frame homes and mobile homes in Kenner, as well as several trucks overturned and plate glass blown out. One minor injury was reported from flying debris. A second tornado reportedly touched down near Ochsner Clinic Foundation on Jefferson Highway at 2:39 a.m., according to the weather service. It traveled northeast about three-quarters of a mile from River Road at Iris Avenue, damaging several buildings and downing power lines. The weather service classified the first two tornadoes F-1 on the Fujita scale, used to measure the twisters’ strength, meaning their speed was between 73 mph and 113 mph. The third tornado was classified as F-2, meaning its speed was between 113 mph and 158 mph. “It was pretty substantial,” Koziara said. That one originated at 2:43 a.m. near Veterans Memorial Boulevard and Fleur de Lis Drive, where it blew down a radio tower at the State Police Troop B building. It traveled northeast about 2.5 miles to the lakefront, according to Koziara, causing substantial damage in the area of Canal Boulevard and Fillmore Avenue, Mouton, Walker and Conrad streets. The visit by the F-2 twister, accompanied by heavy rain and frequent, intense lightning, was a rarity, officials said. New Orleans was last struck by an F-2 tornado 24 years ago, according to meterologist Robert Ricks. He said an F-2 twister struck the Bywater area at 1:45 p.m. on June 22, 1981. It was 2 miles long, 20 yards wide and caused about $25,000 worth of damage. Before that, the last F-2 storm to hit the city struck March 10, 1971, and caused $2.5 million worth of damage. The city has had 13 tornado strikes since 1951, Ricks said. The last one was June 30, 2003, in the Lake Catherine area, but it was an F-0 and caused little damage. The weather knocked our power to thousands of customers throughout the area. As of 6:30 p.m. Thursday, officials said 800 Entergy customers remained without power - about 700 in East Jefferson and 100 in Orleans. The fallout from the storms affected hundreds of travelers who stood in long lines or slumped against luggage in the stuffy, darkened Armstrong International terminal Thursday, after the violent overnight storms knocked out power for more than eight hours and grounded flights The loss of both electrical feeds occurred about 3 a.m. shortly after a funnel cloud was spotted northwest of the airport. The winds peeled away the protective covering on a section of roof previously damaged during Hurricane Katrina, blew out some windows, seriously damaged several jet ways and toppled a few more of the high mast lights that Katrina didn’t blow down – all on Concourse C, airport spokeswoman Michelle Dufourc said. The storm came as a horrible blow to residents of Lakeview and Lakeshore, a virtual ghostown since homes were flooded after Katrina. “If we had been living here we would be gone,” said Mari Rodriguez, staring at the half-gone roof on her 4,000 square-foot home at 741 Robert E. Lee Boulevard. “I was here yesterday,” her husband Dr. Ed Rodriguez said. “I had just finished gutting the house and treating the studs.” The Rodriguezes have been renting in Mandeville since Katrina. They said they were looking forward to returning to the Lakeshore area. “We’ve lived here 33 years and raised all five of our kids here,” Dr. Rodriguez said. “This is our neighborhood. I just cant believe this is happening. Our hope was to rebuild our house. Now, all we’ll have is an empty lot.” Talking over the sound of heavy equipment as it picked up debris along the avenue and from sidewalks, Dr. Rodriguez said he hopes to hear from his insurance company about tearing down his blond brick house. “Its got to go quick or it will be a hazard to the neighborhood,” he said. The wind caused major damage to homes for a few blocks along Canal Boulevard near Robert E. Lee Boulevard, uprooted fences, peeled off one home’s roof next to Harrison Avenue and scattered tree branches around Lakeview. At the corner of Porteous and Louix XIV streets, the high wind caused significant damage to a FEMA trailer, still unoccupied because electric power had not yet been connected. In many areas, it was tough to distinguish between Katrina and new damage. The high winds felled a state Department of Transportation and Development communications tower, standing roughly 200 feet tall, next to Veterans Boulevard in Orleans near the 17th Street Canal. State workers scrambled early Thursday to sever pieces of the tower that were protruding into the busy roadway. Dick Thevenet, a state facilities official visiting the site late Thursday morning, said loss of the communications tower could disrupt certain DOTD communications. He said it had not yet been determined if the tower was knocked down solely by the overnight storm, or if the wind exploited structural weaknesses caused by Katrina. “We see a lot of rust — it couldn’t have happened this morning,” he said. “So it may have had some pre-damage.” The new damage will likely result in new homeowner insurance claims. One man driving down Louis XIV St., observing fresh damage, said, “I’m a claims adjuster, I’m on my way to three losses — three new losses.” And Ellen Verges, 47, a Lakeview homeowner now living Uptown, said the latest wind storm blew out windows in her Catina Street double that had been left intact by Katrina. She took new pictures Thursday in preparation for talking with her insurance agent, but wasn’t happy to be making yet another claim. “I want to get back to normal. I don’t want to see any more damage,” she said. At Pollock Place near Third Street in south Kenner, where one of the tornadoes was first reported, Earline Guillard, her fiance and son and niece were sleeping when they were awakened by heavy rain and then a roaring noise. “The wind shifted the house and we fell out of the bed,” she said. “We crawled to the hallway until it was over.” As the winds were literally twisting the two-story house slightly off its foundation, Guillard called her 21-year-old daughter Latonya. “I really thought I was not going to make it,” she said. “I just wanted to hear her voice.” A companion tornado that moved generally northeast to the airport and then near 22nd Street and Williams Boulveard dealt two of three warehouse businesses at Kenner Avenue and Farrar Street a heavy blow. Alpine Plastics, the second largest plastic bag manufacturer in the country servicing businesses like Wal-Mart and Safeway grocery stores, had a huge delivery truck hurled into its building and sustained “significant” damage, Chief Financial Officer Janak K. Sheth said. None of the 80 employees were injured, he said. Nearby, Economic and Janitorial, an institutional janitorial supply company with clients that include Starbucks, Baskin-Robbins and the Orleans Parish school system, was heavily damaged. Parts of the side and rear of the building were peeled away by the winds and supplies were scattered throughout the parking lot. Owner Suzie Migliore worked during the morning to clean up the facility and find a temporary location. “We should be relocated to another location in Kenner and be up and running by Monday,” company controller Eric Brauner said. The outlook was gloomier for Mike Ippolito, a Lakeview resident who owned four laundromats before Hurricane Katrina. The location at Paris and Mirabeau Avenue took on five feet of water. Winds and 10 feet of water destroyed his shop at Crowder and Lake Forest Boulevard and four feet of water did in his Reed and Morrison Road business. His home on Pressburg Street had 10 feet of water. Until early Thursday, he and his mother, Cathy, still had the Laundry Basket at Williams Boulevard and 22nd Street. Until the tornado torn the roof off the building. “I lost my house and all four of my businesses,’’ he said. “I don’t know what to think.” Less than a block away, Joe Ricca and his family were feeling some of the same pain. The family’s Ice House business lost a metal canopy and sustained significant roof damage in the tornado, which hurled pine cones with such force that they punched holes into the siding of a home a block away. Ricca, a St. Bernard resident, lost his house to Katrina and the family’s Ice House location in St. Bernard was totaled. But Ricca and his brother-in-law Donald Arcenaux and other family members did their best to remain upbeat. “They say bad news comes in threes,” Arcenaux said, before rattling off Katrina, Rita and the tornado. “Hopefully this is my third and this is all over.” The storm briefly knocked out electricity at Ochsner Clinic Foundation’s headquarters at 1514 Jefferson Highway, forcing it to use generators, spokeswoman Amiee Goforth said. However, the disruption, which happened when trees along Jefferson Highway took down power lines when they were blown down, lasted only a few minutes, she said. Nearby, the storm badly damaged most buildings on the eastern side of Iris Avenue in Jefferson, blowing off roofs and destroying some units at a mini-storage on the corner of Jefferson Highway and Iris. “It ran through us like a bowling ball through an alley,” said Greg Luke, property manager at Dependable Storage on Jefferson Highway. He said some of the facility’s hundreds of units are unharmed, but a count was not yet available. Across Jefferson Highway, Robert DeFraites, owner of Reliable Disposal, pointed out debris blown hundreds of yards by Thursdays storm. “I had it all cleaned up from Katrina,” he said, nodding to sheet metal from the roof Katrina blew off, now scattered two football fields away. “I had that all cleaned up.” Thursday’s tornadoes, coming in some areas still recovering from Katrina, was almost too much for some to bear. Pam Roach, who was inside her Farrar Street home with her mother and sister, remained jittery hours after a tornado damaged her awnings and roof and destroyed her storage shed. “You could feel the vibrations of the house,” she said. “There were lights flashing and glass cracking and it was like hell opening up.Every imaginable noise was happening all at the same time.” She described it as a blessing that no one was hurt, but couldn’t help but shake her head as she thought about the likelihood and getting hit first by a storm like Katrina, and then by a tornado. “We’re in a perpetual state of recovery,” she said. “Next month, what will it be?” Sheila Grissett, Bruce Hamilton, Lynne Jensen, Mary Swerczek, Coleman Warner, John Pope and Leslie Williams contributed to this story.Bob Ross may be reached at rross@timespicayune.com or (504) 883-7053.

There is no such thing as 'La Nina' alone. That is 'old world' perspective. There was a study too by Duke about trees recently. All the 'conclusions' were based on 'perfect world' perspective. There was no current global warming dynamics entered into the study or any predictions. Duke's study isn't "W"rong, quite the contrary, the study fits perfectly into the Bush rhetoric of denial of Global Warming. The Explaining Away of Global Warming by focusing on 'single' issues of climate is detrimental to the nation. It's distractional and irresponsible.
That ain't La Nina, jerks. Stop lying. The 'Eddy Season' should prove to be highly dynamic and dangerous. But, not because of La Nina. It's because of the Global Warming vortices just like last season.
