Best place to Asteroid 2012 DA14 Feb 15?

Maybe a NASA web site? CNN? I thought I heard Science Friday might show
it. Maybe they mean narrate the passage.

One article about this asteroid flyby notes that a (small!) asteroid
hit the Earth in 2008, near Khartoum.

It didn't name the asteroid, but a little Googling let me find out it
was 2008 TC3.

====================================

There once was a shepherd boy who was bored as he sat on the hillside
watching the village sheep. To amuse himself he took a great breath and sang
out, "Wolf! Wolf! The Wolf is chasing the sheep!"

The villagers came running up the hill to help the boy drive the wolf away.
But when they arrived at the top of the hill, they found no wolf. The boy
laughed at the sight of their angry faces.

"Don't cry 'wolf', shepherd boy," said the villagers, "when there's no
wolf!" They went grumbling back down the hill.

Later, the boy sang out again, "Wolf! Wolf! The wolf is chasing the sheep!"
To his naughty delight, he watched the villagers run up the hill to help him
drive the wolf away.

When the villagers saw no wolf they sternly said, "Save your frightened song
for when there is really something wrong! Don't cry 'wolf' when there is NO
wolf!"

But the boy just grinned and watched them go grumbling down the hill once
more.

Later, he saw a REAL wolf prowling about his flock. Alarmed, he leaped to
his feet and sang out as loudly as he could, "Wolf! Wolf!"

But the villagers thought he was trying to fool them again, and so they
didn't come.

At sunset, everyone wondered why the shepherd boy hadn't returned to the
village with their sheep. They went up the hill to find the boy. They found
him weeping.

"There really was a wolf here! The flock has scattered! I cried out, "Wolf!"
Why didn't you come?"

An old man tried to comfort the boy as they walked back to the village.

"We'll help you look for the lost sheep in the morning," he said, putting
his arm around the youth, "Nobody believes a liar...even when he is telling
the truth!"
