Army offers short term program to save Pine Bluff Arsenal jobs
The Arkansas Gazette reports top Army officials proposed an alternative production plan for Pine Bluff Arsenal to preserve about 1,070 civilian jobs. The plan would use short term munitions production and other uses as inventories shrink and contracts fall. Officials including Sen McClellan aides and Rep Thornton have been in talks with Defense Department staff, with a meeting planned this week. Whiteaker cautions no definite decision yet and warns against triggering disappointment if plans fall through.

Strangers unite to save beached mother whale and calf
In Jacksonville Beach Florida fifty volunteers joined two Marine Patrol officers to rescue a 10-foot 1500-pound mother pigmy sperm whale and a one-day-old calf from the surf. They kept the animals moist and protected as eight responders worked in shifts for over three hours until they were moved to a marine park in St. Augustine. A teenager held the calf for hours despite the cold while a spectator shared towels and blankets. The mother reportedly sustained gashes and the calf was only lightly injured, to be bottle-fed.
