Giant World War II aircraft-carrying submarine discovered
A World War II-era Imperial Japanese Navy mega-submarine, the I-400, lost since 1946 when it was intentionally scuttled by U.S. forces after its capture, has been discovered in more than 2,300 feet of water off the southwest coast of O'ahu. The discovery resolves a decades-old Cold War mystery of just where the lost submarine lay, and recalls a different era as one war ended and a new, undeclared conflict emerged.
Longer than a football field at 400 feet, the I-400 was known as a "Sen-Toku" class submarine—the largest submarine ever built until the introduction of nuclear-powered subs in the 1960s. With a range of 37,500 miles, the I-400 and its sister ship, the I-401, were able to travel one and a half times around the world without refueling, a capability that, to this day, has never been matched by any other diesel-electric submarine.
The new discovery of the I-400 was led by veteran undersea explorer Terry Kerby, Hawaiʻi Undersea Research Laboratory (HURL) operations director and chief submarine pilot. Since 1992, HURL has used its manned submersibles Pisces IV and Pisces V to hunt for submarines and other submerged cultural resources as part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) maritime heritage research effort.
Heritage properties like historic wreck sites are non-renewable resources possessing unique information about the past. This discovery was part of a series of dives funded by a grant from NOAA's Office of Exploration and Research and the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa's School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST). Working with Steven Price of HURL, Kerby has researched the subject of lost submarines off O'ahu for decades. On these recent dives, Kerby was joined by two NOAA archaeologists with experience in documenting World War II vessels and submarines, Drs. James Delgado and Hans Van Tilburg.
"The I-400 has been on our 'to-find' list for some time. It was the first of its kind of only three built, so it is a unique and very historic submarine," said Kerby. "Finding it where we did was totally unexpected. All our research pointed to it being further out to sea. The multi-beam anomalies that appear on a bottom survey chart can be anything from wrecks to rocks—you don't know until you go there. Jim and Hans and I knew we were approaching what looked like a large wreck on our sonar. It was a thrill when the view of a giant submarine appeared out of the darkness."
The I-400 and the I-401 aircraft-carrying submarines held up to three folding-wing float-plane bombers that could be launched by catapult just minutes after the submarines surfaced. Each aircraft could carry a powerful 1,800-pound bomb to attack the U.S. mainland. But neither was ever used for its designed purpose, their missions curtailed by the end of armed conflict in the Pacific.
"The innovation of air strike capability from long-range submarines represented a tactical change in submarine doctrine," said Delgado, director of NOAA's Maritime Heritage Program, within the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, Washington, D.C. "The large I-400, with its extended range and ability to launch three M6A1 Seiran strike aircraft, was clearly an important step in the evolution of submarine design."
Up until the Sen-Toku's day, submarines had been almost exclusively dedicated to sinking surface ships (and other submarines) by stealth attack from under water.
"The I-400 is technologically significant due to the design features associated with its large watertight hangar," Delgado said. "Following World War II, submarine experimentation and design changes would continue in this direction, eventually leading to ballistic missile launching capabilities for U.S. submarines at the advent of the nuclear era."
At the end of WWII, the U.S. Navy captured five Japanese subs, including the I-400, and brought them to Pearl Harbor for inspection. When the Soviet Union demanded access to the submarines in 1946 under the terms of the treaty that ended the war, the U.S. Navy sank the subs off the coast of Oʻahu and claimed to have no information on their precise location. The goal was to keep their advanced technology out of Soviet hands during the opening chapters of the Cold War. HURL has now successfully located four of these five lost submarines.
The HURL crew identified the wreck site by carefully combing through side-scan sonar and multi-beam sonar data to identify anomalies on a deep sea floor littered with rocky outcrops and other debris. The wreck was positively identified as the I-400 based on features including its aircraft launch ramp, deck crane, torpedo tube configuration, and stern running lights. The remains of the submarine's aircraft hangar and conning tower appear to have been separated from the wreck, perhaps in the blunt trauma of the three U.S. Navy torpedo blasts that sunk the ship in 1946.
The I-400 was discovered in August 2013 and is being announced today after NOAA has reviewed its findings with the U.S. state department and Japanese government officials.
"These historic properties in the Hawaiian Islands recall the critical events and sacrifices of World War II in the Pacific, a period which greatly affected both Japan and the United States and shaped the Pacific region as we now know it," said Van Tilburg, maritime heritage coordinator for NOAA in the Pacific Islands region. "Our ability to interpret these unique weapons of the past and jointly understand our shared history is a mark of our progress from animosity to reconciliation. That is the most important lesson that the site of the I-400 can provide today."

Robotic turtle to survey underwater sites
Dubbed U-CAT or by the team that developed it, this small, pill-shaped bot is designed to explore deep-sea shipwrecks, where its unique design allows it to access places too dangerous, deep, or small for humans to reach. In order to help it do its job more effectively, it's got a number of unique design features not present in exploration drones.
U-CAT and its kin are the result of an EU-funded initiative aimed at making underwater archaeology easier, known as the Arrows Project. In addition to U-CAT, several larger underwater robots will be tested in tandem in the Mediterranean and the Baltic Seas. Together, these robots will not only revolutionize the field of underwater archaeology, but provide an opportunity to study real-world deep-sea animals.
The robot is equipped with four small, independently-driven flippers instead of propellers, allowing it to achieve an unprecedented degree of underwater maneuverability. As a result of its flippers, U-CAT is able to swim both backwards and forwards, travel directly upwards, and even change direction in tight spaces.The flippers have another added benefit, as well – unlike propellers, which tend to stir up obstructing dirt and sediment, Arrow's manner of propulsion is relatively calm and quiet, driving the robot without disturbing the water around it.
The little bot is furthermore capable of operating remotely for periods of up to several hours, recording everything it sees with its onboard cameras. This, in turn, allows archaeologists to reconstruct a map of the boat without ever having to set foot underwater. Even better, it's designed to be cheaper than other underwater exploration vehicles, meaning smaller organizations will be able to afford the use of it, and even if it gets stuck somewhere "it won't bankrupt the expedition."
Along with U-CAT, a number of robots were showcased over the weekend at at the London Science Museum's Robot Safari Exhibit. These included a cheetah cub, bat, school of fish, salamander, and even a tumbleweed. These robots were all presented in simulations of the environments their inspirations would have inhabited.
See, U-CAT is part of a new breed of "biomimetic robots;" which imitate animals and plants. This is, says Centre for Biorobotics Professor Maarja Kruusmaa, "an increasing trend in the world of robotics, where we try to overcome the technological bottlenecks by looking at alternative technical solutions provided by nature."

Level 3 BTEC Diploma in Historic Vessel Conservation
The course is open to those already learning traditional skills in the maritime sector, and could be used to enhance an apprenticeship in boatbuilding or marine engineering. It is also available to experienced shipwrights and boatbuilders, managers of conservation projects or private vessel owners and enthusiasts. The course consists of seven modules which can be taken concurrently, or spread over a period of time. It is the only course of its kind available in Britain and follows the development of NHS-UK's three volume guidance publication 'Understanding Historic Vessels' – which has been designed to cover the key principles behind the history and conservation of historic vessels.
Commenting on the announcement, Martyn Heighton, Director of National Historic Ships UK, said: "The course has been designed to bridge the gap between boatbuilding, or marine engineering courses, and the specialist knowledge required to plan and implement any historic vessel conservation strategy. We are very pleased to be able to start offering it and excited to see the reception it receives."
In 2010, the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) awarded £17million to 54 projects through its 'Skills for the Future programme'; set up to fund work-based training in a wide range of skills. In partnership with the Canal & River Trust, NHS-UK was one of the successful applicants receiving an initial award of £110,000, with a further grant increase of £100,600 in 2013. With match-funding from the Headley Trust, they went forward to develop the BTEC Diploma in Historic Vessel Conservation as a legacy for their training scheme, Keeping History Afloat.

Storm exposes shipwreck near Bamburgh Castle
The wreck is only visible for around a few hours a day either side of low water in the shadow of Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland – and first appeared in June.
Since then a team of archaeologists has been studying its timber to try to find out more about the vessel – and tests have now revealed the wood used to build the ship was felled in around 1768.

IFA call for papers extension
The call for papers for the IfA conference has been extended to the 8th November. MAG in conjunction with the artefacts group are running a joint seminar called "Creating Research Communities: bridging the gap between sectors". This session aims to approach research from two different ways firstly considering how different groups can intergrate to ensure that research occurs, and secondly considering how when research has been done it is accessible, and can be used and intergrated by other users. Some excellent maritime papers have been submitted, but there is still room for more. A full abstract of the session (S3) is available at http://www.archaeologists.net/sites/default/files/node-files/IfA2014-Call-for-papers.pdf
If you are interested please contact email@example.com by the 8th November to discuss.

MMO investigates OME
A US marine salvage company is being investigated by Britain's marine watchdog for allegedly exploring the wreck of a 276-year-old British naval warship without permission. Odyssey Marine Exploration hailed the discovery of the HMS Victory, the predecessor to Nelson's famous flagship, as one of the most important maritime finds ever when they announced its discovery in the English Channel in 2008. It sank in 1744 with Admiral Sir John Balchen on board, and it was thought the wreck could well be carrying bullion and bronze cannon worth more than £600m.
But the discovery of the vessel has sparked controversy, with archaeologists and descendants of the 1,000 men who died, saying any attempt to recover gold or artefacts for profit is wrong and "distasteful".
The row has taken a further twist after it was revealed that the Marine Management Organisation (MMO), the UK's marine watchdog, is investigating allegations that Odyssey explored the wreck without a licence last year. Investigators are understood to be studying footage from a TV documentary filmed on an Odyssey vessel that seems to show the discovery of a human skull in mud on the sea floor. MMO is "currently undertaking an investigation into alleged activity in relation to the site of HMS Victory".
It is understood that one of the issues being considered is whether this activity required a licence.
Under maritime law, all naval vessels lost at sea are considered to have "sovereign immunity" and cannot be disturbed without governmental approval. But following the discovery of the Victory, the wreck was given a different status by the Ministry of Defence by being "gifted" to a new charity, the Maritime Heritage Foundation (MHF).
Founded by Lord Lingfield, a descendent of Admiral Balchen, following the wreck's discovery, the MHF negotiated an agreement with Odyssey to explore the wreck and potentially recover artefacts including the ship's bronze cannons. The Victory may have also carried gold coin bullion worth up to £620m. Odyssey is to receive the equivalent of 80 per cent of the value of recovered bullion and 50 per cent of the value of artefacts such as cannons.
But, under the terms of the original agreement between the MHF and the Government, any work to explore the site by disturbing silt or digging trenches can only be carried out once ministers have approved a programme in keeping with Britain's obligations under a Unesco underwater archaeology agreement.
Experts advising ministers agreed that the site, already raided by rogue Dutch salvers who stole a cannon, may need preservation by raising to the surface some artefacts already dragged by fishing vessels.
In a letter to David Cameron, Richard Temple West, a descendant of Admiral Balchen's daughter, said: "We appreciate that HMS Victory is an important historic wreck, but we feel this very fact, coupled with the fact that she is a both a grave and memorial, makes it entirely inappropriate that she should be subject to a commercial salvage contract."
The project still awaits ministerial approval. In an 2012 email to the Ministry of Defence, Lord Lingfield wrote that the MHF's scientific advisers had approved the "dusting of mobile surface sediment" on the wreck site as well as ensuring that cannon had been "prepared for lifting". In a second email to the MoD, Lord Lingfield wrote: "PLEASE could ministers give the go-ahead soon, we really need the summer time to carry out careful archaeological work as the at-risk items are recovered. It is now very urgent."
Odyssey insisted it was working closely to "ensure the protection of this important piece of the UK's maritime heritage".
The statement added: "Odyssey always seeks to fully comply with applicable regulatory regimes on projects that fall under the jurisdiction of government agencies, including the regulations of the Marine Management Organisation (MMO)."

A few weeks ago I met Jenny. It was a chance meeting that happened when I was lunching with a friend at a health club. We'd planned to take the babies swimming but it turned out the pool was closed to us at that time so we ended up idling the time away chatting over camomile tea and goats cheese salad in the cafe lounge instead…There was a little play area next to us where we popped the babies to play. Jenny was there with her young granddaughter waiting for her daughter to finish her workout.
We began to chat as we watched the babies play and naturally our focus of conversation became about our children. I learnt that Jenny had proudly raised four children. Jeremy was her third child and her only son. She talked fondly of him, of his life growing up and of his love of sport. As I listened, I imagined a strapping young man, full of life, heading for great success, such was her heartfelt description of her boy. I fleetingly imagined my own boys growing up and wondered what proud stories I would have to tell of them once they were grown, such is the strength of a mother's love for her sons…
I asked how old Jeremy was now…. It was an ordinary question, to which I imagined an ordinary answer, where I would then hear more lovingly told tales of what Jeremy was doing now with his life. The answer I received in its place floored me. With a look of sadness, Jenny told me with brave honesty, that Jeremy had died some 18 years ago quite unexpectedly and in a cruel twist of fate, on the very day she was to say goodbye to her eldest daughter as she drove her to start a new life at Oxford University. She arrived home from leaving her daughter, a heart wrenching 15 minutes after her beloved son passed away quietly in her next door neighbours garden, while sat with his friend.
It transpired that Jeremy had had a serious undetected, underlying, heart condition, that without warning took his life that tragic day. He was only 14 years old…Sadly though, Jeremy is not alone. Although still considered quite rare, every week at least 12 young people die suddenly from undiagnosed heart conditions, in the UK alone. A statistic that cannot be ignored. More young people are dying from undiagnosed heart problems each week than are dying from meningitis and yet what do we really know about the condition? We immunise against other diseases and illnesses but comparatively there seems to be a shortage of awareness on the subject of cardiac risk in our children.
I was so moved by Jenny's story that I asked her permission to write about it. I wanted to write about it, not simply to tear on parent's heartstrings as they read of this mother's unimaginable loss, but as a means of raising awareness on the subject, so that we may have a chance of recognising (the unlikely) but potential symptoms of an underlying heart condition in our own children. This is not about scaremongering. This is about hope.
It was then that Jenny told me of her involvement in the charity Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY).
About CRY
Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) was founded in 1995 to raise awareness of conditions that can lead to young sudden cardiac death (YSCD); or sudden death syndrome (SDS) - an umbrella term used for the many different causes of heart attacks in young people that can sometimes present as sudden death.
CRY initially promotes the heart screening of young people through ECG Testing Programmes and contributes to medical research. As well as providing an invaluable source of medical information the charity offers subsidised ECG and Echocardiogram screening to all young people between the ages of 14 and 35.
CRY also provides support to those who have suffered a loss through a network of affected families & counselling groups as well as donating medical equipment to surgeries and hospitals.
The charity has an impressive array of Patrons, from a variety of sporting, entertainment and medical backgrounds including David Walliams, Pixie Lott, Sir Steven Redgrave and Sir Ian Botham, all of whom are passionately supportive of the cause.
Following Jeremy's death Jenny and her husband Nigel, set up the Jeremy Cole Memorial Fund in conjunction with CRY. So far they have raised over £100k so that ECG (electro-cardiogram) machines could be purchased for use in the Eastbourne area of the UK to assist in detecting underlying cardiac abnormalities in a practical and highly effective way.
Understanding Cardiomyopathy
Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle. It affects people of all ages and is mostly inherited. A parent could live their whole life without knowing they are carrying the disease and sadly pass it onto their children.
The condition is not curable but the good news is that when diagnosed correctly it can usually be treated successfully, with most of those affected going on to lead a long and full life.
It is difficult to believe that someone who is apparently young and fit may be at risk. However, there have been a number of reported incidents of misdiagnosis culminating in tragedy that could have been avoided.
Symptoms to Look out For
Some young people who have cardiomyopathy never have signs or symptoms. Others don't have signs or symptoms in the early stages of the disease.
CRY recommends that screening is requested via your GP if there have been any young sudden deaths in the family. Or if there are symptoms of:
- Chest Pain (exercise related)
- Severe Breathlessness
- Palpitations
- Prolonged Dizziness
- Fainting/Blackouts
What can be done?
There is a simple way to diagnose most cardiac abnormalities. This is by having an ECG (electrocardiogram) test, the results of which, should be read by a cardiologist. For extra clarity an Echocardiogram (ultrasound scan) can also be done. An ECG test records the electrical signals from the heart, only takes a few minutes and does not hurt.
If detected at an early stage, cardiomyopathy can be controlled with long-term medication, the placement of a pace maker / defibrillator or surgery.
Research into sudden cardiac death has led the European Society of Cardiology (ESC 2005) and International Olympic Committee (IOC) to recommend cardiac screening for any young person taking part in competitive sport.
Sport itself does not lead to cardiac arrest, but can trigger a sudden death by aggravating an undetected cardiac abnormality. In countries such as Italy, screening participants in representative sports is mandatory. In some professions cardiac testing is also mandatory.
For further advice on ECG screening contact your GP or CRY directly for further information on how to get your child screened.
How you can help
CRY are doing all they can to help promote and protect the cardiac health of our young. However, we can also help raise further awareness on the subject of cardiac risk in young people by simply sharing this post with as many people as we are able.
If therefore, Jenny's story above (and many like hers) has touched you, then please click the share button below this post. By doing so, not only are we equipping families with knowledge of this condition, but between us all, this one simple gesture may just save a young person's life…

Kickoff: 7:30 p.m.
Radio: KCXR 100.3 FM
Web: Rougherfootball.com
Records: Owasso 0-1, Muskogee 0-1.
Last week: Broken Arrow 37, Owasso 16; Sand Springs 39, Muskogee 14.
Last meeting: Owasso 42, Muskogee 22 (2011).
The matchup: Owasso is led by the passing combination of Gabe Neph at quarterback and older brother Cole Neph at receiver. The latter, who caught 850 yards in passes in 2012, is 6-4 and 205 and a 4.7 40-yard guy. Seven starters on the defensive side and the Rams are particularly strong in the back end. Tyler LIndsey had three interceptions and Jordan Mitchell is also tough.
Muskogee enters a tough stretch of four games against state-ranked opponents, including two remaining non-district games. The Roughers were dead even well into the third quarter against Sand Springs but 25 unanswered points sent MHS to its third consecutive loss in the series. One of the positives from last week was in the Muskogee passing game. Quintahj Cherry was solid in his season debut, completing 23 passes for 219 yards and he found a balanced set of options. Bryson Bell, who had four catches for 96 yards but saw limited action in the second half, and Anthony King (9 catches, 50 yards) and James Buckhanan (3 catches, 41 yards and a TD).
Series notes: Owasso has won the last three meetings…Muskogee won the first six meetings in the series which began in 1992…Last year's contest was stopped in the second quarter due to weather with Owasso leading, 28-0.
Series record: Muskogee leads, 10-8.

Thor Clock was an angry youth, but Asshat Clock teaches him the way of peace and kindness.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars February 15, 2011
I recall
Dude, I am just going to listen to another submission of yours, "Duck.fla Spin". I had absolutely no idea you were the same guy who made it and it was completely random! Anyway, this was okay because I could not understand what anyone was saying. Chipmunk singing can come off as really funny, but this did not quite do it. It was a little good, but it was kind of lacking. I still kind of enjoyed this because it had that really goofy spirit that makes the Clock Crew popular.
I have no clue why you would have no names that I doubt are your own. While not your best work, it was kind of neat to see those clocks spin around. Thank you for putting in a replay ("repaly"?) button this time. You also should probably have a background, or at least something of a different color for it. It seemed like there were different versions of you in this.
Rated 5 / 5 stars August 25, 2009
This is an amazing piece of art
and I'm in it, doesn't get better then that.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars August 20, 2009
I have no Idea what I have just seen, but the music was rad and the clock had a viking hat. So 9 stars for you.
I'm Thor Clock :)
Rated 5 / 5 stars August 20, 2009
Why does this not have a higher score?
Sped up Beatles, in MY Clock Day? It's just as good as the ELO Flash from last year. Great job.
Rated 5 / 5 stars August 20, 2009
Kudos Thor... Kudos!
Why thank you monochrome Sooooo cash was exactly the feel I was going for with this movie!

HOT DOCS ANNOUNCES CONFERENCE THEME: DOC (r)EVOLUTION
Toronto, March 5, 2014 – Hot Docs is pleased to announce the theme of the 2014 Hot Docs industry conference is Doc (r)Evolution, an innovative conference program that will offer interactive sessions and practical tools for working within the rapidly changing landscape of documentary filmmaking. Including a keynote presentation by Johanna Blakley, managing director and director of research at the Norman Lear Center, the Doc (r)Evolution program will take place April 28-May 2, during the Hot Docs Festival April 24-May 4.
"We are thrilled to have Johanna Blakley as the keynote speaker this year," says Elizabeth Radshaw, industry programs director for Hot Docs. "Through her studies and work at the Norman Lear Center with the Media Impact Project, Johanna is the authority to initiate the timely and important discussion about how documentary filmmakers can better understand audiences and find the best ways to measure the impact of media on our lives."
Doc (r)Evolution will explore diverse, and sometimes conflicting, ideas about the development of the documentary industry. Innovative speakers will share their experiences and demonstrate new ways to connect with audiences, harnessing new technologies to expand practices, taking creative collaboration to the next level and changing the way we value and talk about docs.
Keynote speaker Johanna Blakley, PhD, is the managing director and director of research at the Norman Lear Center, a research and public policy institute that explores the convergence of entertainment, commerce and society. Based at USC's Annenberg School, Blakley performs research on a wide variety of topics, including global entertainment, cultural diplomacy, entertainment education, digital media and intellectual property law. She has two talks on TED.com and she speaks frequently in the U.S. and abroad about her research.
Doc (r)Evolution will feature popular returning sessions including International Co-Production Day, Kickstart, Micro Meetings, the Doc Summit and a variety of workshops. The conference will also provide delegates with opportunities for one-on-one and small-table meetings with leading thinkers and industry experts. Hot Docs will host official delegations from China, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Nordic Region, South Africa and the USA, and the delegations will be featured participants at International Co-Production Day.
A number of limited-capacity, hot-topic workshop sessions will require pre-session sign-up at the festival for registered delegates. The full conference schedule will be announced in mid-March.
The Industry Conference is presented in partnership with the Canada Media Fund.
Hot Docs (www.hotdocs.ca), North America's largest documentary festival, conference and market, will present its 21st annual edition from April 24 – May 4, 2014. An outstanding selection of approximately 200 documentaries from Canada and around the world will be presented to Toronto audiences and international delegates. Hot Docs will also mount a full roster of conference sessions and market events and services for documentary practitioners, including the renowned Hot Docs Forum, Hot Docs Deal Maker and The Doc Shop. In partnership with Blue Ice Group, Hot Docs operates the Bloor Hot Docs Cinema, a century-old landmark located in Toronto's Annex neighbourhood. Hot Docs is proud to include Scotiabank as its Presenting Platinum Partner, and Rogers Group of Funds, Telefilm Canada and documentary as its Presenting Partners.

NEW MADRID, Mo. (AP) - Charges are expected soon against a woman accused of stealing a Missouri State Highway Patrol car and ramming it into two sheriff's department cars.
The Sikeston Standard Democrat reports that New Madrid County officers were called Nov. 5 to a truck stop on a report that a woman was acting strangely. Officers determined the 24-year-old woman did nothing wrong.
A short time later, officers found the same woman in a vehicle parked on an overpass. She was handcuffed and placed in a Highway Patrol car.
Sheriff Terry Stevens says the woman got out of the handcuffs and stole the patrol car. She rammed a deputy's car as she drove away and another during the chase. The pursuit ended when the patrol car became stuck in a field.
Health law's troubles give GOP a much-needed boost
Sunday, 10 November 2013 09:48 Published in National NewsWASHINGTON (AP) — The health care law's seemingly endless problems are giving congressional Republicans a much-needed boost by helping them move past the government shutdown debacle and focus on a theme for the 2014 elections.
Republicans' approval ratings plunged during last month's partial shutdown and worrisome talk of a possible U.S. debt default.
Now the GOP is back on offense.
Republicans pillory administration officials at congressional hearings.
They note that millions of people are losing their medical insurance despite President Barack Obama's promise that it wouldn't happen.
And they point to the program's flawed enrollment process.
Conservative groups are pouring money into ad campaigns reminding voters that many Democrats had promised that Americans could keep their current insurance policies.
These groups are especially targeting Democratic senators facing tough races next year.
Silicon Valley tank collection heading east
Sunday, 10 November 2013 09:47 Published in National NewsSAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — The family of a Silicon Valley engineer who amassed one of the nation's most extensive historic military vehicle collections is giving the tanks, missile launchers and armored vehicles to a Massachusetts-based museum that will preserve and display some of them.
Until now, the $30 million fleet of tanks has been refurbished and housed in seven storage sheds on a family estate up a winding, forested road above Silicon Valley; they are visited only under privately arranged tours.
But in a deal inked on July 4 and announced Monday in honor of Veteran's Day, the 240 pieces have been signed over to The Collings Foundation, which preserves historic military aircraft and now plans to add a new military vehicle museum at its Stow, Mass., headquarters.

i didn't thumb you down, i respect your opinions, i just cannot grasp how people think Ron Paul is so great and will actually help our country. he is a bigoted and hateful demagogue and people take a huge bite out of his ********* and like it tastes like skittles and fairy dust.
#100 to #88
ronyx ONLINE (07/18/2012) [-] You don't just ******* end a war like this, how many times do i ******* have to say it? You pull out of a country, then it gets overrun with terrorists again because the country's own ******* police and armed forces are too much of a ***** to face extremists or terrorists. Pull out, but don't bitch about another 9/11.
#109 to #100
brandonstanford (07/18/2012) [-] WE INVADED FIRST?!? Back in the 80's when Saddam hussen was in power..Over there they have 9/11 attacks 24/7 what makes are lives more value than theirs? Here is a video of what they did..they believed that the more of innocent people they killed the more they would give up..If someone invades us and kills innocent americans would you just give up,hell no, its a obvious reaction that they would revolt like anyone else?
#116 to #109
ronyx ONLINE (07/18/2012) [-]
Are you ******** me? Do you even know what Sadam was doing to his own people? SO basically "We invade them first to take down a dictator who was killing his own people therefore it's ok for them to come bomb us" You sir are a ******* idiot. Our only mistake was helping those people who stone their wives and shot them in the head for stupid reasons back when the Russians wanted to take over. If we ha just let the Russians kill all of them instead of giving them javelins we wouldn't have alqaeda, but we would probably have another cold war.
#125 to #121
ronyx ONLINE (07/18/2012) [-]
I know we have a lot of debt and that the war is expensive, but just pulling out would be a big mistake because we haven't gotten rid of the taliban or alqaeda. There are more ways to reduce the debt in the country and repair the economy like regulating much more the banking system, stopping the outsourcing of millions of jobs every year overseas for cheap labor etc. The state of our economy deepens much on the state of the world economy too, look at how Europe is struggling. So even though we can do a lot of reforms in the country to lower the debt, our economy will still struggle because our economy is tied to the rest of the world's economy too.
#94 to #93
brandonstanford (07/18/2012) [-]
But, we have the united nations so we still help countries in need, we just won't have naval bases and bases stationed in the middle east or any other part of the world..how would you like it if another country invaded us because we had weapons that we didn't use? And killed innocent people for the weapons? Also were not isolating our country from others we are just taking our millitary forces away we are still doing foreign trade.
#156 to #96
zombielovez (07/18/2012) [-] peace is where the world truly changes, through peace we develop society and advanced tech meant to ****** rather then to kill, you sir are a ******* idiot and if we could separate power from the controling hands we would have small conflicts which are far better then wars, if there was no "powers" we could have effective peace(ask and i'll explain) TRUE COMMUNISM VIVA REVOLUTION!!!
#115 to #103
brandonstanford (07/18/2012) [-] I understand good debate but, we can't fight forever so eventually there will be peace but, we basically don't have the funds to carry out on this plan, that could be used to help the poor in our own country.

Selecting the top moments in Canadian Winter Olympic history isn't easy. There are so many moments to celebrate. We've narrowed it down to our top 25. Visit www.leaderpost. com/olympics and vote on your favourite in our Postmedia poll.
10. 1988: Brian Orser and Elizabeth Manley, figure skating (tie) As the 1988 Games opened in Calgary, it was clear the country's best medal hopes would be wearing figure skates. And the best hope for gold - the first on home soil, following a shutout in Montreal in 1976 - would be Brian Orser, who carried the Canadian flag at the opening ceremony.
An eight-time national champion, a silver medallist at the 1984 Olympic Games and the reigning world champion, Orser appeared to have a slight edge over American Brian Boitano, the three-time U.S. champion and 1986 world champion. But the edge was slight, and fans were poised to watch what was billed as the "Battle of the Brians."
The women's final was dubbed the "Battle of the Carmens", and was expected to centre on German Katarina Witt and American Debi Thomas.
The Battle of the Brians came first, and as expected it was close, coming down to the long program after Boitano won compulsories and Orser took the short. Both men had chosen military-themed programs for the finale. Boitano went first, and was near flawless, with marks ranging from 5.7 to 5.9 under the old scoring system; Orser followed, doubling a triple and stepping out of one jump, receiving marks of 5.8 to 6.0.
Five judges gave Boitano the nod; four judges went with Orser. The Swiss and Danish judges rated it a tie, but their votes went to Boitano on the basis of the higher marks he received for technical merit.
"I didn't win the gold medal at the Olympic Games and that's what I came here to do," Orser said later.
In all the discussion over the duelling Carmens in the women's event, little attention was paid to Elizabeth Manley, a spunky, talented but inconsistent skater, whose best finish at worlds was a fourth. Sitting third after the short program, battling illness, Manley delivered the performance of the night - and her life - to finish second behind Witt.
When her music stopped, Manley stood at centre ice in disbelief, held her head, then put her hands over her heart. Her eyes were wide, sparkling with joy. The crowd was in a frenzy. She picked up a cowboy hat that had been tossed to the ice, and put it on her head.
"I felt like Christie Brinkley in New York's Times Square on New Year's Eve," Manley said later. "It felt so terrific. I woke up four times in the night. I turned on the light and had to touch the medal. It was a dream come true."

Throughout this last week while the Chinese vice president was visiting the United States, there was a lot of talk about America and American business finding new opportunities in China, selling more to Chinese consumers instead of just buying so much from the world's second largest economy. Many Americans also see China as an unstoppable economic force that's surpassing the United States. But how does all this look from China? We're going to now to NPR's Shanghai correspondent, Frank Langfitt. Frank, thanks for being with us.
That Michigan primary is just in 10 days and the contest there is turning to be closer than expected. Mitt Romney grew up in Michigan. His father, George Romney, ran a car company there. He was the governor. But Santorum has come on strong and even ahead in current polls. We're joined now by another son of Michigan, NPR's Don Gonyea, live in our studio, who spent the week in his home state. Thanks very much for being with us, Don.

Many lives are being turned completely upside down by the eurozone crisis. That's especially true in Ireland, where they're still clearing up the mess left when the property bubble burst.

PHILIP REEVES, BYLINE: Step, for a minute, into the strange world of Jill Godsil. She lives among the farms and villages and rolling hills of Ireland's Wicklow County. The countryside's spectacular.
As Phil reported, things are still pretty tough for the people of Ireland, but there's one man who thinks things there will start to look up before too long. He's prepared to put money on it, billions in fact.
Michael Hasenstab is what's known as a contrarian investor. He's just about the only person prepared to bet that Ireland's fortunes will greatly improve over the next couple of years. Michael Hasenstab joins us from Templeton Investments in San Mateo, California.

NYC subway operating 80 pct of network, fuel headed to NY area -Cuomo
- Tweet
- Share this
Nov 3 (Reuters) - The New York City subway system is now operating along 80 percent of its network, and more of the network will come back on line through the weekend, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said on Saturday.
Addressing concerns about fuel shortages, particularly gasoline, that have hit the New York area since superstorm Sandy struck earlier this week, Cuomo also said 8 million gallons of fuel had been delivered since the New York Harbor reopened. Another 28 million gallons would be delivered this weekend, he said.
U.S. Senator Charles Schumer, a New York Democrat, said at the same press briefing in Manhattan that the U.S. Department of Defense would be trucking 12 million gallons of fuel to the area in the next few days to help alleviate the fuel crunch.
Cuomo said most of the flood waters that had swamped the site of the World Trade Center memorial and museum had now been pumped out.
