Hello everyone. Happy Friday! Well, I entered the world of smart phones last night. My wife dropped her cell phone in a big ol' rain puddle, couldn't find it for a few minutes, so it just sat there collecting water for a while. It was an old phone, and we needed to upgrade anyway, as it was on it's last leg. We went to the store and all they had were smart phones, save for one little phone that we didn't like. Anyway, I'm the owner of a new iPhone. Any killer apps I need to get or neat tricks I need to know about? I'm new to the smart phones, so I'm learning as I go.

Congrats on the new phone!!!

They corrected themselves and now say it was UMass-Dartmouth evacuated not Amherst, due to the third suspect being a registered student there.

There's a THIRD suspect?? I've been monitoring the news all morning and didn't hear about a third suspect---just the 20-year-old who was killed and the 19-year-old they're looking for. Although we have been wondering what became of the driver of the hijacked car, who escaped.

We have two that are practically "vegetables"---they're more than five years old. But they still get the job done.

Local news was just saying we've had @ 75 inches of snow this winter. Wowza!! ❄❄❄=]

I guess they are saying the third suspect that they stopped the train in Connecticut to look for is a false alarm. So much news swirling my head is spinning.

That's good, then---only one guy to find.

I've been following the live news blog on Boston.com. Watertown Police said that the situation could continue into the weekend before it's under control.

Reporters contacted the bombers' father in Russia. He claims his boys are innocent, he's furious that the older boy was killed, and if the second boy dies, "all hell will break loose."

Saw video of a deserted Allston intersection. Bizarre. I don't know if businesses are open around here. I assume they are. But I don't have any particular need to venture out, so I'd just as soon stay put in the house with Mr.

You don't even want to try listening to the police scanner then. They've had so many "suspects" in custody over the last 13 hours that it's crazy. Not to mention how many times they thought they've had him cornered.

We've been listening to WBZ radio in Boston. They've been staying on top of the story without a lot of false leads and red herrings. If you're interested in the latest on the local angle, you might tune them in online. There's a Listen Live link on this page.

Police say they have that car. No longer on the lookout for it.
According to the live news feed on Boston.com.

Yep, they found it pretty quick earlier.

MerryCarey- Did you hear anything more on the car that was stopped at Niagara falls?

made582 · Apr 19, 2013

Well now they just put out a BOLO for a 95 honda odyssey.

Hadn't heard about that car at all ... I've had to stop listening several times today for work ... our office is closed, but we're working remotely.

Last I saw on the live news feed, they were looking for a green Toyota, then they rescinded that quickly. Haven't seen anything about the Honda. I understand they want to keep the public up to date, but it would be helpful if they get their facts straight before they post ...

They had a car stopped and were going through it with the bomb robot. I'm assuming they didn't find anything.

Just found the Honda Odyssey and it is secure.
