Haab, an Army reservist who had just returned from a tour of duty in Iraq, was not a part of the Minuteman Project, but he quickly became a hero and near-martyr to those who were.
Haab claimed that he had stopped to relieve his dog and then, while walking the animal in the dark, was "rushed" by a group of men emerging from the brush.
Haab's statement that he feared for his life is contradicted by the fact that he then followed them to the vehicle they were meeting, ordering them out and onto the ground while pointing the weapon at them, Arpaio said.

The Maya Haab calendar is a 365-day solar calendar whose dates indicate the position of the Sun at noon relative to the zenith over the Yucatan peninsula.
The foundation of the agrarian calendar, the Haab month names are based on the seasons and agricultural events.
The Haab is a vague year because it is a quarter-day short of an actual solar year, causing its first day to regress through all seasons.

The haab is the obvious yearly cycle, while the  tzolkin structures  a  hidden  dimension, closer  to  the  sacred  spirit realms.
Obviously, if the three  cycles  of tzolkin, haab and Venus are to synchronize, then at least one  of the  4  year-bearers must correspond with at least one of  the  5 beginning day-signs of the Venus cycle.

The tzolkin is a cycle of 260 days and the haab is a cycle of 365 days (these cycles are explained in Sections 2 and 3 of this chapter).
The tzolkin cycle and the haab cycle were combined to produce a cycle of 18,980 days, known as the calendar round.
