NATO Takes over Afghanistan Command

by ·

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization on Monday plans to take command of the international peacekeeping force in Afghanistan’s war-shattered capital, a move that reflects the 54-year-old alliance’s shifting priorities in the global war on terror.

The deployment in Asia will be NATO’s first outside Europe since the organization was formed during the Cold War to provide a bulwark against possible attacks by the former Soviet Union.

NATO will take over command of the 5,000-strong International Security Assistance Force, known as ISAF, from Germany and the Netherlands during a ceremony in Kabul. [Boston Globe]

Archbishop Chooses Rectory over $37m Mansion

by ·

Archbishop Sean P. O’Malley, in a dramatic gesture illustrating his commitment to change, announced yesterday that he will move out of the Brighton manse occupied by his predecessors and into the brick rectory of the Cathedral of the Holy Cross, next to a housing project in Boston’s South End.

The cross-town move, which O’Malley said he expects to complete within the next couple of months, is the latest in a series of rapid-fire steps the new archbishop has taken in the nine days since he was installed as archbishop July 30. On his second day as archbishop, he replaced the church’s oft-criticized lawyers, and yesterday he offered $55 million to settle 542 clergy sex abuse claims. [Boston Globe]

Exercise

by ·

I worked out for twenty minutes this morning for the first time in two or three years. At least since before we moved into the house, so probably more like three years.

Felt good.

Now I have to get up tomorrow morning and do the same thing. Do it three or four days in a row and I should have a new habit. Wish me luck.
