Behind me in the photo are 1,195 candidates for the National Military Academy of Afghanistan Class of 2011 who are competing for 350 appointments. They are taking the "Concord Exam," which is the Afghan version of the SAT. Despite an increase in violence, there are about 200 more applicants than last year, and the quality of this pool keeps improving as the Afghan education system continues its recovery from Taliban repression.

NASA's third mission this year to an undersea laboratory off the Florida coast begins when four astronauts splash down Sept. 16.
Veteran space flyer astronaut Sandra H. Magnus will lead the crew on a seven-day undersea mission Sept. 16 - 22 onboard the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Aquarius underwater laboratory. Army Lt. Col. Timothy L. Kopra, Army Col. Timothy J. Creamer and Air Force Maj. Robert L. Behnken round out the astronaut crew. Roger Garcia and Larry Ward of the University of North Carolina at Wilmington will provide engineering support inside the habitat. All four astronauts are training for possible assignment to missions to the International Space Station.

Johnny "Mike" Spann was the first American killed in combat after 9/11. He was attacked by Taliban prisoners during an uprising at the Qala-e-Jangi fortress near Mazar-e-Sharif on 25 November 2001. My team and I recently visited the site where Mike died and hundreds of Taliban prisoners were subsequently killed. We felt a sense of awe and respect for the dead as we reflected upon what happened there. The Afghan government has since erected a memorial to Mike right where the unfortunate event unfolded (see photo). It is a quiet, lonely place. |
