The Shins set to self-release next album
After three albums released through Sub Pop, The Shins are going out on their own to put out their fourth LP.
However, the band could still remain connected to the Seattle-based label through distribution, according to reports today.
"The deal will be more of a [pressing and distribution] deal than a traditional record deal," Shins manager Ian Montone told Billboard. "That partner could very well remain Sub Pop, who have done a remarkable job with the band and have a great staff of people who really love music. It could be a digital partner with respect to other rights. All of this is being determined. The first goal is to make the record and see where that takes us."
The band who have sold over 1.5 million albums in the US alone, are looking to sign a deal with a label that will enable them to retain ownership of their masters and utilise the label's marketing and radio promotion tools.
Last year's 'Wincing The Night Away' debuted at Number Two on the Billboard chart.

Phil Collins wants to do a Broadway musical
Ex-Genesis man wouldn't use his own songs, though
has revealed he's interested in making a Broadway musical.
The former star said he wouldn't want to use any of his existing tracks though - saying he doesn't approve of musicians transferring them to the stage.
According to CMU Daily Collins said: "I would like to do a Broadway musical, well, not even Broadway, just a musical. I wouldn't use my own songs, I don't really approve of that. I don't think it's something I would want to get involved in."

Monday June 23 and Tuesday June 24

..tr>

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good to be back on the air. I spent a good portion of my time off sick and for some reason the nasal congestion has totally stayed. I've blown enough out of my nose to make a whole new John. He's not so fun to look at but man, it's great that he's doing some of my work for me. Thanks to everyone who attended the kids dance party. As always big success! Tons of fun and a great day. If you haven't already heard, the next big KEXP event is the best thing we do all year, the BBQ. Dandy Warhols, Helio Sequence, Saturday Knights all confirmed. Presidents were, but couldn't do the show out of fear that I would dive off of the stage when they played. Sad really. But the line up so far is super sweet. Details below:

The Morning Faithful
Subject: Ist Grade 'Look like someone famous' day
My Son wakes up 50 minutes before the school bell this morning, and informs us that it's "look like someone famous day" today (Crazy Week at school). This from a kid whose entire wardrobe consists of jeans & T-shirts. Rooting through his drawers, we were suddenly inspired: a KEXP T-shirt, slapping on some gel & parting his hair down the middle....Voila! John in the Morning! He actually looks just like you, too (no time to take a picture this morning--we'll send you one later if he lets us)
FROM JULIE
Subject: Rocking Out!
Thanks for REM, Modest Mouse and The National this morning. I saw them last night out here in Maryland, and they all just Rocked the House! Thanks for introducing me to The National.
From Adam:
Subject: helio
i have been meaning to send a thanks for the introduction to them. got to see them about week ago, pleasantly surprised to see them in fl. the one thing i left that show with, other than seeing a great show, is that drummer is fucking great. thanks for the music enlightment you provide.

Joan Jett to get signature Gibson guitar
She makes history as first female to be honoured with one
Joan Jett is to get her own signature Gibson Melody Maker guitar - making her the first female to get one.
The rock icon joins the ranks of other guitarists, including Slash and Jimmy Page, who have helped design and produce their own guitars.
Jett said: "This is my guitar. Gibson was successfully able to replicate my custom velvet hammer pick ups, which have not been available for 20 years. It's perfect for gigs as well as recording."
She added: "For those of you performing live, you may understand the value of being able to shave off those split seconds between playing and interacting with the audience, especially if you use your hands to communicate. I can move between the killswitch, which mutes the guitar, and playing, and then back again without a lot of in-between motion.
"With its no frills basic set up, it's a perfect guitar for either an experienced player or someone just learning."

Black Kids Announce Fall North American Tour
Worry not, indie pop fans of North America: those young go-getters in Black Kids aren't about to drop an album on you and then pretend like it never happened. Though they've got a smattering of U.S. dates around the time July melts into August-- just shortly after the July 22 North American release of their Columbia debut LP Partie Traumatic -- Black Kids are hanging pretty close to Europe this summer to better throw their weight behind Almost Gold's July 7 UK release of Traumatic.
But once things start cooling down a bit in mid-September, the Kids will make their triumphant return to the road for just shy of a monthlong North American Partie that kicks off in the most appropriate spot possible: their native Jacksonville, Florida.

Subject: *Annuals Tickets for TOMORROW!**
Hey Seattle!

We have extra tickets to the Annuals show TOMORROW! Let me know if you
would like a pair of tickets!

Annuals * TOMORROW June 10 @ Neumos

Raleigh, North Carolina's six-piece collective Annuals are touring in
support of their recently released split EP, Wet Zoo, their first new
music since their critically acclaimed 2006 debut LP Be He Me. The EP,
released on Canvasback Music, includes three new songs from Annuals and
two new songs from Sunfold; each band is made up of the same six members
but features different frontmen/songwriters. The songs, recorded in the
band's home studio Terpsikhore in Raleigh, have even more life on stage.
Annuals' sound is layered with glimmering guitars, pounding keyboards,
rolling drums and vocal harmonies that come together in a captivating
live show, with band members crashing into each other and often trading
instruments during and after songs. They are currently working on their
anticipated full-length follow-up to Be He Me.

Best,
Carla

New Apple iPhone 3G details unveiled in San Francisco
2.0 version of the device is faster AND cheaper
The iPhone 2.0 was launched in San Francisco today by Apple CEO Steve Jobs, who announced the new device is "twice as fast at half the price."
This second-generation version of the phone is called the iPhone 3G, and allows connectivity to Wif-Fi, 3G and EDGE networks, automatically switching between them for fastest download speeds.
The new model will be available in more than 70 countries including Ireland, the UK and the US beginning July 11. The 8GB model of the phone will be available from $199 in the US, based on service provider contracts and previous purchase of the 8GB iPhone. A 16GB version will also be available from $299.
Jobs says the latest version of the iPhone makes it easier to multi-task with simultaneous voice and data communications, allowing users to browse the web, get map directions, or check email while on a call.
In addition, the iPhone 2.0 software allows users to do real-time mapping and track progress with GPS technology, mass move and delete multiple email messages, search for contacts, save images directly from a web page or email them to the iPhone and transfer them back to one's photo library on a computer.
The talk time on the new iPhone 3G is up to 10 hours on 2G networks and five hours using 3G, with up to five to six hours of web browsing, up to seven hours for video playback, and up to 24 hours for audio playback.
The phone supports Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync right out of the box, and runs the third party apps created with the iPhone SDK (Software Development Kit) which has had over 250,000 downloads worldwide since its launch on March 6.
SDK provides developers with Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and tools that Apple uses to create its native applications for iPhone. Apple today also announced that its new App Store will be available in 62 countries allowing developers to wirelessly deliver their applications directly to iPhone and iPod touch users around the world. Users can download applications wirelessly and start using them immediately.

John T. Bishop
Friday, April 25 2008
GAYLORD, Mich. (AP) — A U.S. Army soldier from Gaylord has died in a vehicle crash in Iraq.
The Pentagon says 22-year-old Private First Class John Thomas Bishop and another soldier were killed Wednesday in the city of Golden Hills.
Bishop's father tells the Traverse City Record-Eagle his son was in a heavy armored vehicle that rolled over into a canal after the side of the road gave way. He was trapped inside the vehicle.
Jonathan T. Yale
Friday, April 25 2008
Washington Post — Jonathan Yale was close to his mother, a single parent who gave birth to him when she was only 17. And he was the kind of guy who liked to make people happy, she said.
"He was the class clown, even when he wasn't at school," his mother, Rebecca Yale, said yesterday. "But he also didn't mind sitting home with his momma to watch a chick flick with a box of Kleenex between us. He was the best boy you could ask for."
Yale, a 21-year-old corporal from Burkeville, Va., was one of two Marines who died Tuesday in Iraq of wounds suffered in combat operations in Anbar province, the Department of Defense said yesterday.
Yale, who was stationed at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, was scheduled to come home soon, his mother said.
Jordan C. Haerter
Friday, April 25 2008
Los Angeles Times —Lance Cpl. Jordan C. Haerter and Cpl. Jonathan T. Yale were standing guard early Tuesday morning when a blue dump truck packed with 2,000 pounds of explosives came speeding toward the compound. The two quickly went through the "escalation of force" procedures: waving their arms, shouting and shooting flares.
When the truck refused to stop, Haerter and Yale stood in its path and opened fire. The truck rolled to a stop about 30 feet from the entry point and exploded, spreading destruction about 130 feet in all directions, demolishing a mosque and injuring 20 Iraqi civilians.
Haerter, 19, of Sag Harbor, N.Y., was killed instantly. Yale, 21, of Burkeville, Va., died moments later. Both were from the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force, based at Camp Lejeune, N.C.
Matthew R. Vandergrift
Friday, April 25 2008
LITTLETON, Colo. (AP/CBS4) -- The Department of Defense says a North Carolina-based Marine has died from combat injuries he suffered in Iraq.
The military says 28-year-old 1st Lt. Matthew R. Vandergrift of Littleton died Monday after he was injured in Basra. He had turned 28 four days earlier, his family said.
"I'm happy for him that he's in heaven and I'm happy for him that he died the way he did serving this country," Barrett Vandergrift, Matthew's brother, told CBS4.
Vandergrift was assigned to 2nd Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division at Camp Lejeune, N.C.
Ronald R. Harrison
Friday, April 25 20080
The Star-Ledger -- A soldier from Morris County on his first deployment to Iraq has died of a non-combat injury, according to the Department of Defense.
Pvt. Ronald R. Harrison, 25, of Morris Plains, died Monday at Forward Operating Base Falcon near Baghdad.
Harrison was a Bradley fighting vehicle mechanic assigned to the 703rd Brigade Support Battalion, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, Fort Stewart, Ga., said Kevin Larson, a Fort Stewart spokesperson.
Steven J. Christofferson
Friday, April 25 2008
Today's TMJ4 -- CUDAHY - A local soldier, killed in Iraq: he gave the ultimate sacrifice, and now family and friends are remembering the remarkable young man from Cudahy.
Private 1st Class Steven Christofferson graduated from Cudahy High School just two years ago.
The young soldier's death reached students in a school wide announcement Tuesday morning. Many of them knew Steven Christofferson.
TODAY'S TMJ4's Tom Murray talked with Steven's younger brother who is still a student at Cudahy High School.
"He felt like he had to do something, go help people," Dakota Christofferson said.
Dakota Christofferson wanted no special attention; he asked us not to show his face, but he talked about the conversation he had with his older brother Steven hours before an IED claimed the 20-year-old soldier's life.
Adam J. Kohlhaas
Friday, April 25 2008
FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. — A Fort Campbell soldier with Missouri ties died this week in Iraq from injuries suffered after his vehicle hit an improved explosive device.
Sgt. Adam J. Kohlhaas, 26, who enlisted in Missouri but was from Kentucky, died Monday in Bayji, Iraq, the U.S. Department of Defense said Wednesday. He was formerly of Perryville, Mo.
He was assigned to D Company, 1st Battalion, 327th Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division.
Kohlhaas joined the Army nearly six years ago and had been at Fort Campbell since 2002.
He is survived by his wife, Rebecca, of Bowling Green, Ky.; his daughter, Londyn Nelson of St. Peters, Mo., and his father, Henry Kohlhaas of Cadiz, Ky.
Adrian M. Campos
Tuesday, April 22 2008
EL PASO TIMES— Adrian M. Campos, who died Monday in the United Arab Emirate of Dubai, joined the U.S. Navy to visit distant shores, have different experiences and see things far from the Rio Grande that runs next to his small hometown of Fabens, a family member said Wednesday.
Campos, 22, died on when he fell in a hotel under murky circumstances while on shore leave.
"He wanted to see the world, wanted to travel, to see other things other people dream about," said Campos' older brother, Carlos Campos.

From Kerry
Subject: phew!
I have been listening all week and just renewed my membership. I decided to increase my usual donation because this station gets me through my day, every day, and I don't know what I would do without the excellent music and programming you provide. My little office would be a mighty sad place. Thank you so much for your work, enthusiasm and amazing music each day. Keep fighting the good fight!
Subject: Thanks...
... for the shout out earlier in the week regarding my pledge (I'm the Allison from DC). I meant to send a corresponding email, but got too busy at work.
Just wanted to drop a line to thank you for all you do. I am bopping at my desk as we speak (love Stereo MCs - takes me back to high school) despite the fact that I just had an irritating exchange with a client. I went to Seattle for the first time last week and listened on the radio (as opposed to over the internet) and heard The National and was so jealous... in the radio wasteland that is Washington, DC no station would ever play them (their loss - I KNOW!).
I owe you many thanks for all the bands I listen to because of you - The National, Rogue Wave, Band of Horses, MGMT, Broken Social Scene, Interpol... All worth my $1000 pledge, without question.

Music News
Rock pioneer Bo Diddley dies at age 79
Reported by the Associated Press
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Bo Diddley, a founding father of rock 'n' roll whose distinctive "shave and a haircut, two bits" rhythm and innovative guitar effects inspired legions of other musicians, died Monday after months of ill health. He was 79.
Diddley died of heart failure at his home in Archer, Fla., spokeswoman Susan Clary said. He had suffered a heart attack in August, three months after suffering a stroke while touring in Iowa. Doctors said the stroke affected his ability to speak, and he had returned to Florida to continue rehabilitation.
The legendary singer and performer, known for his homemade square guitar, dark glasses and black hat, was an inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, had a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, and received a lifetime achievement award in 1999 at the Grammy Awards. In recent years he also played for the elder President Bush and President Clinton.
Diddley appreciated the honors he received, "but it didn't put no figures in my checkbook."
"If you ain't got no money, ain't nobody calls you honey," he quipped.
The name Bo Diddley came from other youngsters when he was growing up in Chicago, he said in a 1999 interview.
"I don't know where the kids got it, but the kids in grammar school gave me that name," he said, adding that he liked it so it became his stage name. Other times, he gave somewhat differing stories on where he got the name. Some experts believe a possible source for the name is a one-string instrument used in traditional blues music called a diddley bow.
His first single, "Bo Diddley," introduced record buyers in 1955 to his signature rhythm: bomp ba-bomp bomp, bomp bomp, often summarized as "shave and a haircut, two bits." The B side, "I'm a Man," with its slightly humorous take on macho pride, also became a rock standard.
The company that issued his early songs was Chess-Checkers records, the storied Chicago-based labels that also recorded Chuck Berry and other stars.
Howard Kramer, assistant curator of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, said in 2006 that Diddley's Chess recordings "stand among the best singular recordings of the 20th century."
Diddley's other major songs included, "Say Man," "You Can't Judge a Book by Its Cover," "Shave and a Haircut," "Uncle John," "Who Do You Love?" and "The Mule."
Diddley's influence was felt on both sides of the Atlantic. Buddy Holly borrowed the bomp ba-bomp bomp, bomp bomp rhythm for his song "Not Fade Away."
The Rolling Stones' bluesy remake of that Holly song gave them their first chart single in the United States, in 1964. The following year, another British band, the Yardbirds, had a Top 20 hit in the U.S. with their version of "I'm a Man."
Diddley was also one of the pioneers of the electric guitar, adding reverb and tremelo effects. He even rigged some of his guitars himself.
"He treats it like it was a drum, very rhythmic," E. Michael Harrington, professor of music theory and composition at Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn., said in 2006.
Many other artists, including the Who, Bruce Springsteen and Elvis Costello copied aspects of Diddley's style.
Growing up, Diddley said he had no musical idols, and he wasn't entirely pleased that others drew on his innovations.
"I don't like to copy anybody. Everybody tries to do what I do, update it," he said. "I don't have any idols I copied after."
"They copied everything I did, upgraded it, messed it up. It seems to me that nobody can come up with their own thing, they have to put a little bit of Bo Diddley there," he said.
Despite his success, Diddley claimed he only received a small portion of the money he made during his career. Partly as a result, he continued to tour and record music until his stroke. Between tours, he made his home near Gainesville in north Florida.
"Seventy ain't nothing but a damn number," he told The Associated Press in 1999. "I'm writing and creating new stuff and putting together new different things. Trying to stay out there and roll with the punches. I ain't quit yet."
Diddley, like other artists of his generations, was paid a flat fee for his recordings and said he received no royalty payments on record sales. He also said he was never paid for many of his performances.
"I am owed. I've never got paid," he said. "A dude with a pencil is worse than a cat with a machine gun."
In the early 1950s, Diddley said, disc jockeys called his type of music, "Jungle Music." It was Cleveland disc jockey Alan Freed who is credited with inventing the term "rock 'n' roll."
Diddley said Freed was talking about him, when he introduced him, saying, "Here is a man with an original sound, who is going to rock and roll you right out of your seat."
Diddley won attention from a new generation in 1989 when he took part in the "Bo Knows" ad campaign for Nike, built around football and baseball star Bo Jackson. Commenting on Jackson's guitar skills, Diddley turned to the camera and said, "He don't know Diddley."
"I never could figure out what it had to do with shoes, but it worked," Diddley said. "I got into a lot of new front rooms on the tube."
Born as Ellas Bates on Dec. 30, 1928, in McComb, Miss., Diddley was later adopted by his mother's cousin and took on the name Ellis McDaniel, which his wife always called him.
When he was 5, his family moved to Chicago, where he learned the violin at the Ebenezer Baptist Church. He learned guitar at 10 and entertained passers-by on street corners.
By his early teens, Diddley was playing Chicago's Maxwell Street.
"I came out of school and made something out of myself. I am known all over the globe, all over the world. There are guys who have done a lot of things that don't have the same impact that I had," he said.

The End is Near

Designer of Pringles can is buried in his invention
CINCINNATI, Ohio (AP) -- The man who designed the Pringles potato chip packaging system was so proud of his accomplishment that a portion of his ashes has been buried in one of the iconic cans.
The man who designed the Pringles can had part of his cremated remains buried in one, his family says.
Fredric J. Baur, of Cincinnati, died May 4 at Vitas Hospice in Cincinnati, his family said. He was 89.
Baur's children said they honored his request to bury him in one of the cans by placing part of his cremated remains in a Pringles container in his grave in suburban Springfield Township.
The rest of his remains were placed in an urn buried along with the can, with some placed in another urn and given to a grandson, said Baur's daughter, Linda Baur of Diamondhead, Mississippi.
Baur requested the burial arrangement because he was proud of his design of the Pringles container, a son, Lawrence Baur of Stevensville, Michigan, said Monday.
Baur was an organic chemist and food storage technician who specialized in research and development and quality control for Cincinnati-based Procter & Gamble Co.
Baur filed for a patent for the tubular Pringles container and for the method of packaging the curved, stacked chips in the container in 1966, and it was granted in 1970, P&G archivist Ed Rider said.
Baur retired from P&G in the early 1980s.

Music News
Rock pioneer Bo Diddley dies at age 79
Reported by the Associated Press
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Bo Diddley, a founding father of rock 'n' roll whose distinctive "shave and a haircut, two bits" rhythm and innovative guitar effects inspired legions of other musicians, died Monday after months of ill health. He was 79.
Diddley died of heart failure at his home in Archer, Fla., spokeswoman Susan Clary said. He had suffered a heart attack in August, three months after suffering a stroke while touring in Iowa. Doctors said the stroke affected his ability to speak, and he had returned to Florida to continue rehabilitation.
The legendary singer and performer, known for his homemade square guitar, dark glasses and black hat, was an inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, had a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, and received a lifetime achievement award in 1999 at the Grammy Awards. In recent years he also played for the elder President Bush and President Clinton.
Diddley appreciated the honors he received, "but it didn't put no figures in my checkbook."
"If you ain't got no money, ain't nobody calls you honey," he quipped.
The name Bo Diddley came from other youngsters when he was growing up in Chicago, he said in a 1999 interview.
"I don't know where the kids got it, but the kids in grammar school gave me that name," he said, adding that he liked it so it became his stage name. Other times, he gave somewhat differing stories on where he got the name. Some experts believe a possible source for the name is a one-string instrument used in traditional blues music called a diddley bow.
His first single, "Bo Diddley," introduced record buyers in 1955 to his signature rhythm: bomp ba-bomp bomp, bomp bomp, often summarized as "shave and a haircut, two bits." The B side, "I'm a Man," with its slightly humorous take on macho pride, also became a rock standard.
The company that issued his early songs was Chess-Checkers records, the storied Chicago-based labels that also recorded Chuck Berry and other stars.
Howard Kramer, assistant curator of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, said in 2006 that Diddley's Chess recordings "stand among the best singular recordings of the 20th century."
Diddley's other major songs included, "Say Man," "You Can't Judge a Book by Its Cover," "Shave and a Haircut," "Uncle John," "Who Do You Love?" and "The Mule."
Diddley's influence was felt on both sides of the Atlantic. Buddy Holly borrowed the bomp ba-bomp bomp, bomp bomp rhythm for his song "Not Fade Away."
The Rolling Stones' bluesy remake of that Holly song gave them their first chart single in the United States, in 1964. The following year, another British band, the Yardbirds, had a Top 20 hit in the U.S. with their version of "I'm a Man."
Diddley was also one of the pioneers of the electric guitar, adding reverb and tremelo effects. He even rigged some of his guitars himself.
"He treats it like it was a drum, very rhythmic," E. Michael Harrington, professor of music theory and composition at Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn., said in 2006.
Many other artists, including the Who, Bruce Springsteen and Elvis Costello copied aspects of Diddley's style.
Growing up, Diddley said he had no musical idols, and he wasn't entirely pleased that others drew on his innovations.
"I don't like to copy anybody. Everybody tries to do what I do, update it," he said. "I don't have any idols I copied after."
"They copied everything I did, upgraded it, messed it up. It seems to me that nobody can come up with their own thing, they have to put a little bit of Bo Diddley there," he said.
Despite his success, Diddley claimed he only received a small portion of the money he made during his career. Partly as a result, he continued to tour and record music until his stroke. Between tours, he made his home near Gainesville in north Florida.
"Seventy ain't nothing but a damn number," he told The Associated Press in 1999. "I'm writing and creating new stuff and putting together new different things. Trying to stay out there and roll with the punches. I ain't quit yet."
Diddley, like other artists of his generations, was paid a flat fee for his recordings and said he received no royalty payments on record sales. He also said he was never paid for many of his performances.
"I am owed. I've never got paid," he said. "A dude with a pencil is worse than a cat with a machine gun."
In the early 1950s, Diddley said, disc jockeys called his type of music, "Jungle Music." It was Cleveland disc jockey Alan Freed who is credited with inventing the term "rock 'n' roll."
Diddley said Freed was talking about him, when he introduced him, saying, "Here is a man with an original sound, who is going to rock and roll you right out of your seat."
Diddley won attention from a new generation in 1989 when he took part in the "Bo Knows" ad campaign for Nike, built around football and baseball star Bo Jackson. Commenting on Jackson's guitar skills, Diddley turned to the camera and said, "He don't know Diddley."
"I never could figure out what it had to do with shoes, but it worked," Diddley said. "I got into a lot of new front rooms on the tube."
Born as Ellas Bates on Dec. 30, 1928, in McComb, Miss., Diddley was later adopted by his mother's cousin and took on the name Ellis McDaniel, which his wife always called him.
When he was 5, his family moved to Chicago, where he learned the violin at the Ebenezer Baptist Church. He learned guitar at 10 and entertained passers-by on street corners.
By his early teens, Diddley was playing Chicago's Maxwell Street.
"I came out of school and made something out of myself. I am known all over the globe, all over the world. There are guys who have done a lot of things that don't have the same impact that I had," he said.

Designer of Pringles can is buried in his invention
CINCINNATI, Ohio (AP) -- The man who designed the Pringles potato chip packaging system was so proud of his accomplishment that a portion of his ashes has been buried in one of the iconic cans.
The man who designed the Pringles can had part of his cremated remains buried in one, his family says.
Fredric J. Baur, of Cincinnati, died May 4 at Vitas Hospice in Cincinnati, his family said. He was 89.
Baur's children said they honored his request to bury him in one of the cans by placing part of his cremated remains in a Pringles container in his grave in suburban Springfield Township.
The rest of his remains were placed in an urn buried along with the can, with some placed in another urn and given to a grandson, said Baur's daughter, Linda Baur of Diamondhead, Mississippi.
Baur requested the burial arrangement because he was proud of his design of the Pringles container, a son, Lawrence Baur of Stevensville, Michigan, said Monday.
Baur was an organic chemist and food storage technician who specialized in research and development and quality control for Cincinnati-based Procter & Gamble Co.
Baur filed for a patent for the tubular Pringles container and for the method of packaging the curved, stacked chips in the container in 1966, and it was granted in 1970, P&G archivist Ed Rider said.
Baur retired from P&G in the early 1980s.

Live Each Day To Its Fullest
John T. Bishop
Friday, April 25 2008
GAYLORD, Mich. (AP) — A U.S. Army soldier from Gaylord has died in a vehicle crash in Iraq.
The Pentagon says 22-year-old Private First Class John Thomas Bishop and another soldier were killed Wednesday in the city of Golden Hills.
Bishop's father tells the Traverse City Record-Eagle his son was in a heavy armored vehicle that rolled over into a canal after the side of the road gave way. He was trapped inside the vehicle.
Jonathan T. Yale
Friday, April 25 2008
Washington Post — Jonathan Yale was close to his mother, a single parent who gave birth to him when she was only 17. And he was the kind of guy who liked to make people happy, she said.
"He was the class clown, even when he wasn't at school," his mother, Rebecca Yale, said yesterday. "But he also didn't mind sitting home with his momma to watch a chick flick with a box of Kleenex between us. He was the best boy you could ask for."
Yale, a 21-year-old corporal from Burkeville, Va., was one of two Marines who died Tuesday in Iraq of wounds suffered in combat operations in Anbar province, the Department of Defense said yesterday.
Yale, who was stationed at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, was scheduled to come home soon, his mother said.
Jordan C. Haerter
Friday, April 25 2008
Los Angeles Times —Lance Cpl. Jordan C. Haerter and Cpl. Jonathan T. Yale were standing guard early Tuesday morning when a blue dump truck packed with 2,000 pounds of explosives came speeding toward the compound. The two quickly went through the "escalation of force" procedures: waving their arms, shouting and shooting flares.
When the truck refused to stop, Haerter and Yale stood in its path and opened fire. The truck rolled to a stop about 30 feet from the entry point and exploded, spreading destruction about 130 feet in all directions, demolishing a mosque and injuring 20 Iraqi civilians.
Haerter, 19, of Sag Harbor, N.Y., was killed instantly. Yale, 21, of Burkeville, Va., died moments later. Both were from the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force, based at Camp Lejeune, N.C.
Matthew R. Vandergrift
Friday, April 25 2008
LITTLETON, Colo. (AP/CBS4) -- The Department of Defense says a North Carolina-based Marine has died from combat injuries he suffered in Iraq.
The military says 28-year-old 1st Lt. Matthew R. Vandergrift of Littleton died Monday after he was injured in Basra. He had turned 28 four days earlier, his family said.
"I'm happy for him that he's in heaven and I'm happy for him that he died the way he did serving this country," Barrett Vandergrift, Matthew's brother, told CBS4.
Vandergrift was assigned to 2nd Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division at Camp Lejeune, N.C.
Ronald R. Harrison
Friday, April 25 20080
The Star-Ledger -- A soldier from Morris County on his first deployment to Iraq has died of a non-combat injury, according to the Department of Defense.
Pvt. Ronald R. Harrison, 25, of Morris Plains, died Monday at Forward Operating Base Falcon near Baghdad.
Harrison was a Bradley fighting vehicle mechanic assigned to the 703rd Brigade Support Battalion, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, Fort Stewart, Ga., said Kevin Larson, a Fort Stewart spokesperson.
Steven J. Christofferson
Friday, April 25 2008
Today's TMJ4 -- CUDAHY - A local soldier, killed in Iraq: he gave the ultimate sacrifice, and now family and friends are remembering the remarkable young man from Cudahy.
Private 1st Class Steven Christofferson graduated from Cudahy High School just two years ago.
The young soldier's death reached students in a school wide announcement Tuesday morning. Many of them knew Steven Christofferson.
TODAY'S TMJ4's Tom Murray talked with Steven's younger brother who is still a student at Cudahy High School.
"He felt like he had to do something, go help people," Dakota Christofferson said.
Dakota Christofferson wanted no special attention; he asked us not to show his face, but he talked about the conversation he had with his older brother Steven hours before an IED claimed the 20-year-old soldier's life.
Adam J. Kohlhaas
Friday, April 25 2008
FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. — A Fort Campbell soldier with Missouri ties died this week in Iraq from injuries suffered after his vehicle hit an improved explosive device.
Sgt. Adam J. Kohlhaas, 26, who enlisted in Missouri but was from Kentucky, died Monday in Bayji, Iraq, the U.S. Department of Defense said Wednesday. He was formerly of Perryville, Mo.
He was assigned to D Company, 1st Battalion, 327th Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division.
Kohlhaas joined the Army nearly six years ago and had been at Fort Campbell since 2002.
He is survived by his wife, Rebecca, of Bowling Green, Ky.; his daughter, Londyn Nelson of St. Peters, Mo., and his father, Henry Kohlhaas of Cadiz, Ky.
Adrian M. Campos
Tuesday, April 22 2008
EL PASO TIMES— Adrian M. Campos, who died Monday in the United Arab Emirate of Dubai, joined the U.S. Navy to visit distant shores, have different experiences and see things far from the Rio Grande that runs next to his small hometown of Fabens, a family member said Wednesday.
Campos, 22, died on when he fell in a hotel under murky circumstances while on shore leave.
"He wanted to see the world, wanted to travel, to see other things other people dream about," said Campos' older brother, Carlos Campos.

Cherie L. Morton
Tuesday, April 22 2008
Gulf Daily News -- TRIBUTES poured in yesterday for a US sailor found dead at her home in Bahrain, as hundreds of colleagues attended a memorial service at the navy base in Juffair.
Staff of all ranks came out in force to pay respects to Cherie Morton, who leaves behind a son, Brian Trevor, in Los Angeles.
The 41-year-old was found dead at her home in Galali at 9.20am on Sunday, but her death still remains a mystery.
Initial hospital notes reported a suspected bullet wound to the back of her head, but navy officials have repeatedly denied that and said no weapon was involved.
The memorial service took place at the multipurpose room of the navy base's Freedom Suq.
Lance O. Eakes
Tuesday, April 22 2008
WRAL -- Apex, N.C. — A North Carolina Army National Guard soldier from Apex has died in Iraq, officials said Monday.
Spc. Lance Oliver Eakes, 25, a member of the 1132nd Military Police Company was killed Friday while on a combat patrol near Baghdad, officials said. Two other members of the 1132nd were wounded when an improvised explosive device went off as the soldiers returned from a meeting with Iraqi police, officials said.
Eakes, who graduated from Apex High School in 2001, joined the 1132nd in January 2003 before transferring to the 105th Military Police Battalion, which deployed to Iraq from 2004 to 2005. He returned to the 1132nd last May and mobilized for a second tour in Iraq a month later.
He was promoted posthumously to the rank of sergeant.
The 1132nd, headquartered in Rocky Mount, has about 120 soldiers stationed in Baghdad. They are scheduled to return to North Carolina this fall.
Benjamin K. Brosh
Tuesday, April 22 2008
Denver Post -- A Colorado Springs soldier died Friday of wounds suffered in Iraq when a vehicle carrying a bomb exploded at a checkpoint.
Spec. Benjamin Brosh, 22, was an infantryman based at Fort Campbell, Ky.
He is survived by his mother, Barbara Brosh of Colorado Springs, and his father, James Brosh of Biloxi, Miss.
His family could not be reached for comment.
Brosh entered the Army in April 2006 and arrived at Fort Campbell in December 2006.
He was assigned to the D Company, 2nd Battalion, 327th Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division.
The U.S. Department of Defense said Brosh died in Paliwoda, Iraq, after suffering wounds at a checkpoint near Balad.
Jason L. Brown
Saturday, April 19 2008
KSWO -- FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. (AP) - An Army Special Forces soldier with Oklahoma ties was killed by a burst of small-arms fire while trying to capture an al-Qaeda leader in an Iraq town.
The Department of Defense says 29-year-old Staff Sgt. Jason L. Brown of Magnolia, Texas, was killed early Thursday during a combat operation in Sama Village.
Brown was a Special Forces engineer sergeant assigned to Company B, 3rd Battalion, 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne) at Fort Campbell, an Army post along the Kentucky-Tennessee border.
William E. Allmon
Wednesday, April 16 2008
Rome News-Tribune -- A soldier, who was born in Floyd County and lived in the area until he was a teenager, was killed in combat in Iraq over the weekend, the Department of Defense and his widow said Monday.
Sgt. William E. Allmon, 25, of Ardmore, Okla., died Saturday in Baghdad of wounds received when his vehicle encountered an improvised explosive device (IED).
He was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 64th Armor Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, and 3rd Infantry Division, of Fort Stewart.
The Department of Defense announced the death Monday of All¬mon, who was supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Jennifer Allmon, who would have celebrated her fifth wedding anniversary with her husband this June, said he was a "proud soldier, loving husband and devoted father."
The soldier served as a combat engineer in the Army and specialized in building protective structures for friendly forces and destroying protective structures for enemy forces.

Music News
Rock pioneer Bo Diddley dies at age 79
Reported by the Associated Press
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Bo Diddley, a founding father of rock 'n' roll whose distinctive "shave and a haircut, two bits" rhythm and innovative guitar effects inspired legions of other musicians, died Monday after months of ill health. He was 79.
Diddley died of heart failure at his home in Archer, Fla., spokeswoman Susan Clary said. He had suffered a heart attack in August, three months after suffering a stroke while touring in Iowa. Doctors said the stroke affected his ability to speak, and he had returned to Florida to continue rehabilitation.
The legendary singer and performer, known for his homemade square guitar, dark glasses and black hat, was an inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, had a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, and received a lifetime achievement award in 1999 at the Grammy Awards. In recent years he also played for the elder President Bush and President Clinton.
Diddley appreciated the honors he received, "but it didn't put no figures in my checkbook."
"If you ain't got no money, ain't nobody calls you honey," he quipped.
The name Bo Diddley came from other youngsters when he was growing up in Chicago, he said in a 1999 interview.
"I don't know where the kids got it, but the kids in grammar school gave me that name," he said, adding that he liked it so it became his stage name. Other times, he gave somewhat differing stories on where he got the name. Some experts believe a possible source for the name is a one-string instrument used in traditional blues music called a diddley bow.
His first single, "Bo Diddley," introduced record buyers in 1955 to his signature rhythm: bomp ba-bomp bomp, bomp bomp, often summarized as "shave and a haircut, two bits." The B side, "I'm a Man," with its slightly humorous take on macho pride, also became a rock standard.
The company that issued his early songs was Chess-Checkers records, the storied Chicago-based labels that also recorded Chuck Berry and other stars.
Howard Kramer, assistant curator of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, said in 2006 that Diddley's Chess recordings "stand among the best singular recordings of the 20th century."
Diddley's other major songs included, "Say Man," "You Can't Judge a Book by Its Cover," "Shave and a Haircut," "Uncle John," "Who Do You Love?" and "The Mule."
Diddley's influence was felt on both sides of the Atlantic. Buddy Holly borrowed the bomp ba-bomp bomp, bomp bomp rhythm for his song "Not Fade Away."
The Rolling Stones' bluesy remake of that Holly song gave them their first chart single in the United States, in 1964. The following year, another British band, the Yardbirds, had a Top 20 hit in the U.S. with their version of "I'm a Man."
Diddley was also one of the pioneers of the electric guitar, adding reverb and tremelo effects. He even rigged some of his guitars himself.
"He treats it like it was a drum, very rhythmic," E. Michael Harrington, professor of music theory and composition at Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn., said in 2006.
Many other artists, including the Who, Bruce Springsteen and Elvis Costello copied aspects of Diddley's style.
Growing up, Diddley said he had no musical idols, and he wasn't entirely pleased that others drew on his innovations.
"I don't like to copy anybody. Everybody tries to do what I do, update it," he said. "I don't have any idols I copied after."
"They copied everything I did, upgraded it, messed it up. It seems to me that nobody can come up with their own thing, they have to put a little bit of Bo Diddley there," he said.
Despite his success, Diddley claimed he only received a small portion of the money he made during his career. Partly as a result, he continued to tour and record music until his stroke. Between tours, he made his home near Gainesville in north Florida.
"Seventy ain't nothing but a damn number," he told The Associated Press in 1999. "I'm writing and creating new stuff and putting together new different things. Trying to stay out there and roll with the punches. I ain't quit yet."
Diddley, like other artists of his generations, was paid a flat fee for his recordings and said he received no royalty payments on record sales. He also said he was never paid for many of his performances.
"I am owed. I've never got paid," he said. "A dude with a pencil is worse than a cat with a machine gun."
In the early 1950s, Diddley said, disc jockeys called his type of music, "Jungle Music." It was Cleveland disc jockey Alan Freed who is credited with inventing the term "rock 'n' roll."
Diddley said Freed was talking about him, when he introduced him, saying, "Here is a man with an original sound, who is going to rock and roll you right out of your seat."
Diddley won attention from a new generation in 1989 when he took part in the "Bo Knows" ad campaign for Nike, built around football and baseball star Bo Jackson. Commenting on Jackson's guitar skills, Diddley turned to the camera and said, "He don't know Diddley."
"I never could figure out what it had to do with shoes, but it worked," Diddley said. "I got into a lot of new front rooms on the tube."
Born as Ellas Bates on Dec. 30, 1928, in McComb, Miss., Diddley was later adopted by his mother's cousin and took on the name Ellis McDaniel, which his wife always called him.
When he was 5, his family moved to Chicago, where he learned the violin at the Ebenezer Baptist Church. He learned guitar at 10 and entertained passers-by on street corners.
By his early teens, Diddley was playing Chicago's Maxwell Street.
"I came out of school and made something out of myself. I am known all over the globe, all over the world. There are guys who have done a lot of things that don't have the same impact that I had," he said.

Designer of Pringles can is buried in his invention
CINCINNATI, Ohio (AP) -- The man who designed the Pringles potato chip packaging system was so proud of his accomplishment that a portion of his ashes has been buried in one of the iconic cans.
The man who designed the Pringles can had part of his cremated remains buried in one, his family says.
Fredric J. Baur, of Cincinnati, died May 4 at Vitas Hospice in Cincinnati, his family said. He was 89.
Baur's children said they honored his request to bury him in one of the cans by placing part of his cremated remains in a Pringles container in his grave in suburban Springfield Township.
The rest of his remains were placed in an urn buried along with the can, with some placed in another urn and given to a grandson, said Baur's daughter, Linda Baur of Diamondhead, Mississippi.
Baur requested the burial arrangement because he was proud of his design of the Pringles container, a son, Lawrence Baur of Stevensville, Michigan, said Monday.
Baur was an organic chemist and food storage technician who specialized in research and development and quality control for Cincinnati-based Procter & Gamble Co.
Baur filed for a patent for the tubular Pringles container and for the method of packaging the curved, stacked chips in the container in 1966, and it was granted in 1970, P&G archivist Ed Rider said.
Baur retired from P&G in the early 1980s.

John T. Bishop
Friday, April 25 2008
GAYLORD, Mich. (AP) — A U.S. Army soldier from Gaylord has died in a vehicle crash in Iraq.
The Pentagon says 22-year-old Private First Class John Thomas Bishop and another soldier were killed Wednesday in the city of Golden Hills.
Bishop's father tells the Traverse City Record-Eagle his son was in a heavy armored vehicle that rolled over into a canal after the side of the road gave way. He was trapped inside the vehicle.
Jonathan T. Yale
Friday, April 25 2008
Washington Post — Jonathan Yale was close to his mother, a single parent who gave birth to him when she was only 17. And he was the kind of guy who liked to make people happy, she said.
"He was the class clown, even when he wasn't at school," his mother, Rebecca Yale, said yesterday. "But he also didn't mind sitting home with his momma to watch a chick flick with a box of Kleenex between us. He was the best boy you could ask for."
Yale, a 21-year-old corporal from Burkeville, Va., was one of two Marines who died Tuesday in Iraq of wounds suffered in combat operations in Anbar province, the Department of Defense said yesterday.
Yale, who was stationed at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, was scheduled to come home soon, his mother said.
Jordan C. Haerter
Friday, April 25 2008
Los Angeles Times —Lance Cpl. Jordan C. Haerter and Cpl. Jonathan T. Yale were standing guard early Tuesday morning when a blue dump truck packed with 2,000 pounds of explosives came speeding toward the compound. The two quickly went through the "escalation of force" procedures: waving their arms, shouting and shooting flares.
When the truck refused to stop, Haerter and Yale stood in its path and opened fire. The truck rolled to a stop about 30 feet from the entry point and exploded, spreading destruction about 130 feet in all directions, demolishing a mosque and injuring 20 Iraqi civilians.
Haerter, 19, of Sag Harbor, N.Y., was killed instantly. Yale, 21, of Burkeville, Va., died moments later. Both were from the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force, based at Camp Lejeune, N.C.
Matthew R. Vandergrift
Friday, April 25 2008
LITTLETON, Colo. (AP/CBS4) -- The Department of Defense says a North Carolina-based Marine has died from combat injuries he suffered in Iraq.
The military says 28-year-old 1st Lt. Matthew R. Vandergrift of Littleton died Monday after he was injured in Basra. He had turned 28 four days earlier, his family said.
"I'm happy for him that he's in heaven and I'm happy for him that he died the way he did serving this country," Barrett Vandergrift, Matthew's brother, told CBS4.
Vandergrift was assigned to 2nd Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division at Camp Lejeune, N.C.
Ronald R. Harrison
Friday, April 25 20080
The Star-Ledger -- A soldier from Morris County on his first deployment to Iraq has died of a non-combat injury, according to the Department of Defense.
Pvt. Ronald R. Harrison, 25, of Morris Plains, died Monday at Forward Operating Base Falcon near Baghdad.
Harrison was a Bradley fighting vehicle mechanic assigned to the 703rd Brigade Support Battalion, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, Fort Stewart, Ga., said Kevin Larson, a Fort Stewart spokesperson.
Steven J. Christofferson
Friday, April 25 2008
Today's TMJ4 -- CUDAHY - A local soldier, killed in Iraq: he gave the ultimate sacrifice, and now family and friends are remembering the remarkable young man from Cudahy.
Private 1st Class Steven Christofferson graduated from Cudahy High School just two years ago.
The young soldier's death reached students in a school wide announcement Tuesday morning. Many of them knew Steven Christofferson.
TODAY'S TMJ4's Tom Murray talked with Steven's younger brother who is still a student at Cudahy High School.
"He felt like he had to do something, go help people," Dakota Christofferson said.
Dakota Christofferson wanted no special attention; he asked us not to show his face, but he talked about the conversation he had with his older brother Steven hours before an IED claimed the 20-year-old soldier's life.
Adam J. Kohlhaas
Friday, April 25 2008
FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. — A Fort Campbell soldier with Missouri ties died this week in Iraq from injuries suffered after his vehicle hit an improved explosive device.

Adrian M. Campos
Tuesday, April 22 2008
EL PASO TIMES— Adrian M. Campos, who died Monday in the United Arab Emirate of Dubai, joined the U.S. Navy to visit distant shores, have different experiences and see things far from the Rio Grande that runs next to his small hometown of Fabens, a family member said Wednesday.
Campos, 22, died on when he fell in a hotel under murky circumstances while on shore leave.
"He wanted to see the world, wanted to travel, to see other things other people dream about," said Campos' older brother, Carlos Campos.

Cherie L. Morton
Tuesday, April 22 2008
Gulf Daily News -- TRIBUTES poured in yesterday for a US sailor found dead at her home in Bahrain, as hundreds of colleagues attended a memorial service at the navy base in Juffair.
Staff of all ranks came out in force to pay respects to Cherie Morton, who leaves behind a son, Brian Trevor, in Los Angeles.
The 41-year-old was found dead at her home in Galali at 9.20am on Sunday, but her death still remains a mystery.
Initial hospital notes reported a suspected bullet wound to the back of her head, but navy officials have repeatedly denied that and said no weapon was involved.
The memorial service took place at the multipurpose room of the navy base's Freedom Suq.

Live Each Day To Its Fullest
Jesse A. Ault
Friday, April 11 2008
Wheeling Intelligencer -- BETHESDA — Ron Ault was working in the kitchen of his Bethesda home when the soldiers arrived at his door Thursday morning, bringing the news that his son, Jessie, had been killed Wednesday while on duty in Iraq.
"I was notified this morning," Ron Ault said late Thursday. "It was a chaplain and another military personnel who came to the house, and they were very good. They don't know what to do for you, either — they don't want to make the visit.
"I looked out the window and saw them walking up the sidewalk, and you just get that thought," he continued, his voice cracking with emotion.
Jessie Ault, 28, had been serving in Iraq with the Virginia National Guard for 10 months, but it wasn't his first tour of duty there. His father said Jessie met his wife, Betsy, while both were serving a previous tour in the same unit. He was killed by a roadside bomb while traveling to northern Baghdad, his father said.
Jessie and Betsy Ault have a 15-month-old son, Adam, and a daughter, Rachel, who was born in January. Jessie also has a 10-year-old stepson, Nathan.
Jeremiah C. Hughes
Friday, April 11 2008
First Coast News -- JACKSONVILLE, FL -- Teachers at Sandalwood High School remember graduate Jere Hughes, who died Wednesday in Iraq, as "one of the best" students they ever taught.
Army Specialist Jeremiah C. Hughes, 26, died April 9 in Balad, Iraq.
The Department of Defense says he died of "injuries sustained in a non-combat related incident" in Abu Gharab.
The incident remains under investigation.
Hughes, who went by "Jere," graduated from Sandalwood High School in 1999.
Linda Cugini, who taught Hughes in her English class, remembered him as a witty, well-read, and very mature student. "He could have been teaching a class at his young age," she said.
Hughes was "one of the best students" she ever taught, she said.
Shaun P. Tousha
Friday, April 11 2008
KFDM -- A soldier from Liberty County has been killed in a roadside bombing in Iraq.
The U.S. Army says 30 year old Sergeant Shaun Tousha of Hull died Wednesday in Baghdad from wounds he received when a roadside bomb exploded near his vehicle.
Tousha was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 66th Armor Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division at Fort Hood.
KFDM News spoke by phone with Shaun's uncle in Hull.
Chester Tousha told us Shaun had been in the military for about eight years and had served several tours of duty in Iraq since the war began in 2003.
Shaun was born and raised in Hull and played football in high school.
Chester told us Shaun was a "good kid and an outgoing person."
Jeffery L. Hartley
Thursday, April 10 2008
Houston Chronicle -- On Tuesday, Army Staff Sgt. Jeffery L. Hartley, 25, of Hempstead, was killed when an improvised bomb exploded near his vehicle in Iraq. He was on his fifth tour of duty.
Thursday in Hempstead, the Waller County seat about 50 miles northwest of Houston, flags flew at half-staff at City Hall and the Police Department, where Hartley's father, Lt. David Hartley, has worked for 16 years.
Students at Hempstead High School, Hartley's alma mater, spoke about the fallen soldier in hushed tones.
"He truly loved being in the military," said Hempstead police Detective Jason Martinez, a family friend. "He was very passionate about it."
Martinez said Hartley had been in the Army for six years and had made the Army his career.
He was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 10th Field Artillery Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division at Fort Benning, Ga.
Anthony L. Capra
Thursday, April 10 2008
The Northwest Florida Daily News -- EGLIN AFB — Air Force Tech. Sgt. Anthony L. Capra, 31, died Wednesday thousands of miles away, but memories of the courageous explosive ordnance disposal technician are being relived along the Emerald Coast.
"It's a huge hit to the Eglin EOD flight by knowing Tony personally," said unit commander Capt. Shane Firth. "We won't be able to forget his character and the way he represented the EOD community. The impact is tremendous on the local troops here."
A Department of Defense press release issued Thursday stated Capra died from wounds suffered when an improvised explosive device detonated near Golden Hills, Iraq.
Although he was in Iraq, Capra was assigned to an Eglin's Detachment 63 of the 688th Armament Systems Squadron. The detachment serves the Defense Department's EOD program operating out of Indian Head City, Md.
Before that, Capra was assigned to the 96th Civil Engineer Squadron at Eglin from February 2003 to September 2007. No members of his former squadron were available for comment Thursday.
Mark E. Rosenberg
Thursday, April 10 2008
WWSB -- MIAMI (AP) - The Department of Defense says a South Florida soldier has died in Iraq after his vehicle encountered an explosive device.
Officials say 32-year-old Maj. Mark E. Rosenberg, of Miami Lakes, died April 8 in Baghdad.
He was assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 29th Field Artillery Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, Fort Carson, Colo.
