   Positive developments with TrapWire in light of the Texas State Capital
   shooting.  I chatted w/the DPS Director and lead Commissioner about the
   need to get this moving so one of my hand picked men was re-assigned today
   to move this off center.  Thank goodness for crazy people.  I wrote the
   master plan to cover all of the DPS bldgs statewide, so if we get one, the
   rest will fall in line.  
    
   Visited w/South African Nate (about UT website lead) and Darryl about the
   opportunities in the on-line educational market as it pertains to homeland
   security, terrorism, security and intelligence analysis courses.  There
   are thousands of US Govt hacks and DOD folks taking on-line courses at
   places like AMU and Henley-Putnam.  The dean at Henley-Putnam is an old
   USSS crony, as a side bar.   I also know one of his chief CIA
   instructors.  He uses Ghost for his surveillance classes.  I think we are
   a natural fit for these schools.  Showed Darryl a good number of the
   on-line courses that are wonderful.    There are approx. 100 schools with
   similar programs to include Kings College in London.   How do we sell them
   our products?  I got no idea.  But, I know how our work would be helpful
   to their students.

   Fast-paced week with intel collected on Haiti, the second wave plot
   (aviation), domestic terror plots, Iranian scientist whacked by Lord knows
   who.  
    
   I've learned that AP has an undercover reporter in Iran.  I've used one of
   my AP contacts to task that source to look into the scientist killing.

   WTOP radio; Univision (MX) tv on TX State Capital shooting; CNN Atlanta on
   background re Fusion centers.  
    
   An old interview on covert action inside Iran is also getting a fair
   amount of play in various blogs and websites.

   My father-in-law is at MD Anderson for stomach cancer consultations (thank
   you for the help Don) and my wife is taking it pretty hard.  We don't know
   how bad off he may be and are awaiting further tests.  I may need to pop
   down there next week for awhile.   He's a tough old man who has drank far
   too much over the years, so if anybody can beat this, he can. 
    
   My old high school pal Andy Serwer, the Managing Editor of Fortune, has a
   new book out.  It's called Starting Over.   Somehow, he managed to get
   that old coot Walter Isaacson to write a testimonial for his book.  I
   thought he was dead. 
    
   I'm looking at the concept proposal for the movie script for
   Ghost.   Kinda surreal.  I've penciled in more hair.   I just want some
   hot chick to play my sidekick.  Why not?  It's Hollywood.
