Drones do it and spacecraft have too, for many years. Recently, also, automobile makers and small boat makers have introduced their first autonomous vehicles on the streets, and waterways.
Unmanned vessels on the ocean is no longer a dream – it is a reality. And according to those in the know, the reality will really start to come to fruition in the coming decaded.
The MUNIN project (Maritime Unmanned Navigation through Intelligence in Networks) is investigating potential concepts for a fully or partially unmanned merchant vessel. The case ship is a dry bulk carrier of handymax size, operating on routes between Europe and South America in the beginning. The project is being partly funded by the EU in pursuit of one of the project outcomes of the European Waterborne Strategic Research Agenda: The autonomous ship.
Partners of the MUNIN project are: the Fraunhofer CML, MARINTEK, Chalmers University, Hochschule Wismar, Aptomar, MarineSoft, MARORKA, University College Cork. The available budget is of $5.13m in total whereby $3.9m is funded by the EU. The MUNIN project was started on September 1, 2012, and will be finished in three year time.
Partly or fully unmanned ships will offer many possible benefits, but one of the main driving forces for the project has been the problem of recruiting sufficient qualified crew-members. This is already a significant problem in Europe, and it will increase as "slow steaming" becomes more widespread. Lower speeds and longer voyage durations will increase the overall demand for crew while reducing the attractiveness of the job: staying at sea for three weeks or more and communicating with friends and family via cost intensive telecommunication systems.
The idea of a ship sailing without a lookout and helmsman is worrying and even frightening to many people. One important part of the project, therefore, is to show that unmanned ships can be at least as safe as conventional vessels, and may even be safer. Professionals agree that "human error" is the cause of between 65 and 90% of shipping accidents. While the definition of human error and the role played in it by technology can be discussed, there is arguably great potential for improving safety by relieving the crew of the most tedious tasks, such as keeping a lookout over open sea for three weeks at a stretch. The MUNIN project will employ the KISS principle: Keep it Simple Stupid! It is important that the technology employed is well-tried and trustworthy. It is also important to use the appropriate technology for the problems at hands.

About AcelRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
AcelRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative therapies for the treatment of acute and breakthrough pain. AcelRx's lead product candidate, Zalviso™, is designed to solve the problems associated with post-operative intravenous patient-controlled analgesia which has been shown to cause harm to patients following surgery because of the side effects of morphine, the invasive IV route of delivery and the complexity of infusion pumps. AcelRx has announced positive results from each of the three completed Phase 3 clinical trials for Zalviso, and has submitted an NDA to the FDA seeking approval for Zalviso in the treatment of moderate-to-severe acute pain in adult patients in the hospital setting. AcelRx plans to initiate a Phase 3 clinical trial for ARX-04, a product candidate for the treatment of moderate-to-severe acute pain in a medically supervised setting, during the second half of 2014. The company has two additional pain treatment product candidates, ARX-02 and ARX-03, which have completed Phase 2 clinical development. For additional information about AcelRx's clinical programs, please visit www.acelrx.com
Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements related to submission of the NDA for Zalviso, planned or anticipated future clinical development of AcelRx Pharmaceuticals' product candidates, including planned Phase 3 clinical trail for ARX-04, and the therapeutic potential of Zalviso and other AcelRx Pharmaceuticals' product candidates. These forward-looking statements are based on AcelRx Pharmaceuticals' current expectations and inherently involve significant risks and uncertainties. AcelRx Pharmaceuticals' actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of these risks and uncertainties, which include, without limitation, risks related to: AcelRx's ability to receive regulatory approval for Zalviso; any delays or inability to obtain and maintain regulatory approval of its product candidates, including Zalviso, in the United States and Europe; the success, cost and timing of AcelRx Pharmaceuticals' product development activities and clinical trials, including planned Phase 3 clinical trail for ARX-04; the market potential for its product candidates; and other risks detailed in the "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in AcelRx's U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings and reports, including its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 5, 2013.

The Only Difference Between the Love of a Stepmother and the Love of a Mother is the Pain of Childbirth
Beautiful girl, you were made to do hard things, so believe in yourself. #quote #inspiration #quoteoftheday
some people are just jerks.
Wolf in sheep's clothing~
President Thomas S. Monson | Popular quotes from April 2014 LDS general conference | Deseret News definitely try to remember this.
Quotes Of The Day - 15 Pics
You know how to tell when someone is miserable with their own life? When they look for ways to destroy someone else's.
Daily Motivation : theBERRY
This goes for ANY parent not just moms but nevertheless its still a sickening thing to do to your child.
Due to a vindictive mother who hates him more than she loves her child my husband has to fight this unnecessary fight. No loving father should ever have to go through this! Stop using your child as a pawn to hurt people. Stop the abuse.
Many women, especially ex-wife's, have figured this out and use their children as a kind of hostages against their former husbands. From alienating the child from the father to more visible abuse, women have no trouble to use the father's love for his child as a weapon for revenge against him. And women don't care how much pain and hurt their actions cause the child or that they destroy the child's chances to a happy life.
Because making it difficult for a wonderful father to be in his kids life because it's easier for you makes you such a good mother
All because of a bitter hateful parent who hates us more than she loves her child.
I hope that some day you see the damage you've done to the people around you but considering you are a narcissistic sociopath, it won't be any time soon.
- THIS IS SO TRUE!!! Only those who go through this know the DEPTH OF DESPAIR!!!
And when he insists that it is their fault because he cannot control how you perceive his words or actions. Even though he sees the pain they are in. The man considers it a weakness in the woman or child and just tunes them out.

EUROPE: Alpro eyes wider distribution of plant-based lines
By Katy Askew | 15 November 2012
Alpro eyes wider distribution of plant-based dairy alternatives
Alpro intends to expand the European distribution of its plant-based dairy alternatives, which have recently launched in the UK and Belgium.
The company, renowned for its soya milk, was promoting three plant -based products - an almond milk, a hazelnut drink and a rice drink - during this year's SIAL food industry show in Paris and told just-food it wanted to roll out the lines further into Europe.
"The big change at Alpro is from the dish of soya we going to a plant-based story," Jean-Louis Sohet international marketing manager at Alpro said. "These vegetable products are totally natural products, low calorie products, any fat they do have is a good fat. It is totally different versus other dairy products. That is a real innovation, the most important change for us."
Sohet said that Alpro was promoting the almond and rice milks with a greater emphasis on "wellbeing", while "the hazelnut is more indulgence, consumers prefer the product for its taste.
While Alpro has already secured listings with retailers in the UK and Belgium, the company is also working on further roll-out in the Netherlands and Germany.
"In Europe we are developing distribution for these three products. We are talking to retailers. In Germany, we have already reached an agreement with Rewe for example and we have planned to develop distribution through [Ahold's] Albert Heijn and other retailers in the Netherlands," Sohet revealed.
In addition, Alpro has targeted the Nordic countries, southern Europe and Hungry, he added. "We want to roll out throughout Europe, but step-by-step, country-by-country."
One reason for this gradual approach is that Alpro must educate consumers on the benefits of a product that is largely new to them, Sohet explained. "It is totally new for the consumer, so we must build the category. It is important to communicate the benefits of the product and also the usage of the product."
This focus on category development has resulted in a "very positive" consumer response in Belgium and the UK, where product launches have been supported by marketing campaigns that have included POS sampling to encourage trials as well as television advertising.

Couchsurfing International Inc. operates Couchsurfing.com, a hospitality service and social networking website. The website provides a platform for members to "surf" on couches by staying as a guest at a host's home, host travelers, meet other members, or join an event.
As of August 2012, the company had raised $22.6 million in investment capital.[4]

Couchsurfing is a neologism referring to the practice of moving from one friend's house to another, sleeping in whatever spare space is available, floor or couch, generally staying a few days before moving on to the next house. The term pre-existed the website in vernacular usage; for example, "Couch Surfer" was the title of a song by Bran Van 3000 written in the 90s.
The company, its website, and the general culture of hospitality exchange it is meant to support are all commonly referred to as "couchsurfing". The "c" and "s" are sometimes capitalized, giving "CouchSurfing". Participants frequently refer to themselves as "couchsurfers" or "surfers". "CS" and "CSer" are used as abbreviations.
How it works[edit]
Registration is free of charge, although users can become "verified" upon payment of a one-time or annual fee.[5] In 2014, former CEO Jen Billock, suggested that the company may implement additional features that would only be available to paying members;[6] however, no such features were ever implemented.
Members complete a profile page that includes information and photos of themselves and of the accommodation they offer, if any. Members looking for accommodation can search for hosts using several parameters such as age, location, languages spoken, and gender and then send messages to the hosts with whom they want to stay. Members can also post their travel plans publicly and receive homestay offers from potential hosts.
Members can also use the mobile app to "hangout" with other nearby travelers.[7]
Homestays are consensual between the host and guest, and the duration, nature, and terms of the guest's stay are generally worked out in advance.
Safety mechanisms[edit]
There have been mechanisms Couchsurfing Inc claims increase safety and trust, with safety related information visible on member profiles for potential hosts and guests.
Members have the option of leaving reciprocal comments on their experiences with other members.[8] Each profile had specific links to make all negative references easily readable in one place. Negative references were occasionally removed by the site when they were deemed to have been done in a retaliatory or unfair manner.[citation needed]
A personal vouching system was discontinued in November 2014.[9][10]
Use as a dating site[edit]
While the site has been described on the Internet as a dating site, Couchsurfing tells members, "Don't contact other members for dating – we will consider this harassment."[11]
Membership statistics and growth[edit]
According to the website, Couchsurfing is "a global community of 10 million people in more than 200,000 cities".[12]
According to an article written by a member, a spokesperson for the company has said that 1 million members log in every month.[13]
Growth in membership[edit]
An article in The Guardian in January 2011 stated that the site had 2.5 million members at the time.[14]
In March 2013, a freelance writer stated that the site had 5 million members at the time.[15]
In 2015, a book stated that the site had 7 million members.[16]
In February 2016, an article by CNBC stated that the site had 11 million members.[17]
Corporate structure[edit]
Couchsurfing International Inc was founded in 2003 as a non-profit organization in New Hamsphire and was liquidated in 2011. Its assets were sold to the private for-profit corporation Better World Through Travel, later renamed Couchsurfing International, Inc.,[1] which defines itself as "a mission-driven for-profit corporation".[4]
Couchsurfing International, Inc is a privately owned for-profit corporation, incorporated in 2011 in the State of Delaware by Casey Fenton and Dan Hoffer.[1] It had been a certified B Corporation since August 2011 but since May 2016, it is no longer listed as one.[18]
Couchsurfing International Inc. is a privately-held corporation and chooses to not publish any financial or ownership data. After the corporation purchased the assets of the previous non-profit organization in 2011, according to company press releases, a $7.6 million first-round investment was raised by Benchmark Capital,[19][20][21] with the ambition of going public at a future date.[22]
In August 2012, Couchsurfing received an additional $15 million in funding from lead investor General Catalyst Partners, with participation by Menlo Ventures, as well as existing investors Benchmark Capital and Omidyar Network. The additional funding brought the company's total funding raised to $22.6 million.[23]
According to an article written by a member in May 2015, « Couchsurfing has burned through most of its VC money ».[13]
In 2013, an unverified "tipster" stated that Couchsurfing was incurring an $800,000 monthly expenditure rate.[24]
After replacing Dan Hoffer 18 months earlier, Tony Espinoza stepped down as the chief executive of Couchsurfing in October 2013, amid layoffs constituting 40% of employees.[25] He was replaced by interim CEO Jennifer Billock.[24] In August 2014 she was designated permanent CEO by a renewed Board of Directors. Her tenure ended in October 2015[26] without any replacement being announced.
The Couchsurfing project was conceived by Casey Fenton in 1999, when he was 25 years old.[27][28] The idea arose after finding an inexpensive flight from Boston to Iceland. Fenton randomly e-mailed 1,500 students from the University of Iceland asking if he could stay. He ultimately received 50-100 offers of accommodation.[27] On the return flight to Boston, he began to develop the ideas that would underpin the Couchsurfing project. He registered couchsurfing.com later in 1999.[27]
The site was launched in 2004[27] with the cooperation of Dan Hoffer, Sebastien Le Tuan, and Leonardo Silveira,[28].
2006 database loss and relaunch[edit]
In June 2006, the project experienced a number of computer problems resulting in much of the database being irrevocably lost.[27] Founder Casey Fenton posted online asking for help.[29] A Couchsurfing Collective was underway in Montreal at the time and those in attendance committed to fully recreating the original site, with users to re-enter their profile data.[27] The collective raised $8,000 in donations to address the issues.[27] "Couchsurfing 2.0" was announced early in July 2006.
Couchsurfing collectives[edit]
From 2006 through 2011, development of the website was run in large part by Couchsurfing Collectives: events which may last days or weeks, bringing groups of Couchsurfers together to develop and improve the website.[27] Collectives have taken place in Montreal, Vienna, New Zealand, Canada.[27] After the corporate reorganization in 2011, the collectives no longer took place. The use of volunteer labor is forbidden in commercial enterprises by the US federal government.[30]
2011 incorporation[edit]
Couchsurfing International Inc. was formerly a Nonprofit organization registered in the U.S. state of New Hampshire.[31] In August 2011, Couchsurfing announced its change of status to a for-profit corporation incoporated in the U.S .state of Delaware.[32] Couchsurfing International Inc refers to two separate legal entities. The first was founded in 2003 as a non-profit organization, and was liquidated in 2011. Its assets were sold to the private for-profit corporation Better World Through Travel, later renamed Couchsurfing International, Inc.,[1] which defines itself as "a mission-driven for-profit corporation".[4] A $7.6 million investment was raised by Benchmark Capital,[19][20][21] with the ambition of going public.[22] The site had previously been financed by donations from members and revenue from the voluntary identity verification service. Second and third rounds of investors contributed another $15 million.
The announcement that Couchsurfing had become a for-profit corporation has raised serious objections from members.[33] They were opposed to founder Casey Fenton and CEO Dan Hoffer making money from selling to investors with a huge benefit assets which had been financed by donations and benevolents' work (i.e. CS was in their eyes the community's work).[34][35] Also, they hinted that Fenton had known from the beginning that CS' 501c3 charity fiscal status would be denied in the end by U.S. tax authorities [1] [36] and that he remained intentionally very vague about the nonprofit dissolution, the buying back of its assets and finally the selling of a stake to investors.[37] The Couchsurfing corporate blog tried to refute those claims.[38]
Site redesigns[edit]
Over the years, numerous changes to the site were made. A redesign in 2012 was made without gathering feedback from the members, thus infuriating users.[39]. Another redesign was implemented in November 2014.[40]
August 2014 security breach[edit]
According to the Couchsurfing Community Support Team, on 15 August 2014 "the part of Couchsurfing's system that sends email to members was breached and an email was sent to approximately 1 million members." According to a CS Ambassador and IT consultant, the email contained malicious code, an XSRF attack (a Cross-site request forgery), including "embedded on-site action calls loaded as an image", which would have erased reader's membership data and deleted member profiles. By design or by accident, the action calls were deactivated in the original code. Couchsurfing censored some posts on the site referring to the incident and generally refused to explain how the breach was made.[citation needed]
Crimes committed using Couchsurfing[edit]
Several Couchsurfing International, Inc. hosts and travelers in several countries have been convicted and imprisoned for rape, murder and theft carried out on victims found through the Couchsurfing service. Some sexual assault convictions, including those in Leeds (UK, 2009),[41] Marseille (France, 2012)[42] and Padua (Italy, 2014),[43][44] have received extensive coverage in the international press.
Terms of Use update (2012)[edit]
In September 2012, Couchsurfing updated its terms of use. These were criticized by many members of the community. The former German Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information, Peter Schaar, publicly criticized the terms of use and informed the US Federal Trade Commission about the serious shortcomings in the Terms of Use.[45] Schaar has stated that these terms would be inadmissible under German and European data protection law.
Claims of censorship (2013)[edit]
People unhappy with the website redesign voiced their concerns on group message boards.[46] In early 2013, prominent members in Chicago and Berlin were banned from the site and had their profiles and posts deleted.[46] The deletions were perceived by certain memebers as being motivated by the company's desire to censor its critics.[46] The company maintains that the two users violated the company's Terms of Use and that the deletions were not the result of censorship.[46]

In Boulder, graduation (elefriend Jared Polis gave the commencement address at Naropa University last weekend) means mass exodus, with students abandoning barely-used furniture and appliances by the dumpsters, emptying houses and packing their trunks with four years of life, ready to move on to the next thing. No matter where you are, summer is the season to move. So check out this eco-alternative to U-Haul and the like: Green Truck Rental. Their biodiesel trucks not only save the atmosphere a little carbon, but, with gas reaching upwards of $4 a gallon in some parts of the country, will ease the stress on your wallet. For a slightly more radical approach to eco moving, check out this video by a journalist in Vancouver, who put out a classifieds ad and, with the help of volunteers, managed to move her entire apartment via bicycle.

Many NGO's are working for it, organizations working in colleges and schools put a great effort to help some children learn, but why the rate of crime has increased in the country even when the literacy rate has gone up by 10-15% from the time of independence? The purpose of education is to make the people social beings but the stats show that 30 % crime involved people who are highly educated and many criminals have some basic education.
Some of the corrupt officials and ministers are consummate academicians, economist and lawmakers. Even after getting the high grade and quality education, such people commit crime. Why has the education system failed in fulfilling its basic purpose of making people civilized and social? What's that thing that our system is lacking in? From the very beginning, we expect our children to grow up and become successful in various fields but never think about whether they will be a good citizen of the society, as we assume that they will be the one with good values in their heart.
The education system has failed to provide the moral values to the people. The part of the education which had the top priority in the past has now lost its value. It has become quite boring. There have been cases where teenagers have been found involved in murder, rape, theft and other criminal activities. Why the students who are getting education are involved in crime? The removal of moral education has done all these things. Even if it is being taught in some of the schools, the authorities don't pay any attention to it. Even parents are not much interested in making their children study and learn moral values as they consider other things more important like getting their children involved in sports, computers and technology.
The issue has come to such a level that we consider moral education as a different stream than education. The need of the hour is to impart moral values to the children from the start. Parents, school authorities and the system must realize the value of moral ethics in education. Making the children social is more important than making them learn professionalism. Education combined with morality can help in reducing crime in society.

Could the Author care to clarify what Moral Education means?
Moral Education is about making the people aware about what human values are, how to live peacefully. imbibing in them the feelings of sacrifice, help and faith in God and others.

Recent Caribbean reviews
"The listing description is very accurate, it accommodated 3 families with plenty of room to spare. The property is a bit outdated and it was not as clean as I expected, but once I cleaned the bathrooms and the kitchen to my liking I was pleased. The owner is great at answering all your questions before booking. His sister is the POC once you arrive and she is an absolute jewel, she is incredibly helpful and very customer service oriented. I would definitely recommend this property to others and will be willing to book it in the future. I would have given them 5 stars except for the fact that the key issue is very annoying. There is only one set of keys and one control for the gates, we had 3 rental cars and one of us was always inconvenience having to let the other ones in. The good thing is that since the beach is so close, the walk to let others in was not so bad. The property is within 5 minutes to supermarkets and places to eat. Katrina's and D' Angelos restaurants have awesome seafood. Service at D Angelos is way better than Katrina's. Every thing is close by, we spent one day in El Yunque, another day we took the ferry from Catano and went to old San Juan to name a few. I want to thank the owners for allowing us to use their property we had a terrific time!!!"Guest: Clara T. Date of Stay: August 2015 Review Submitted: August 18, 2015View listing
"For a few years, my childhood friends and I were planning on a big trip for our 40th birthdays...we decided on Belize for the beaches, snorkeling, location, and many attractions that we read about. I found the Beach Front Villa (Maya Beach) on VRBO and was totally amazed when I looked at all of the pictures and read the reviews. We booked it through Aaron Krohn - who was incredibly patient with all of my questions ahead of time! - and we were definitely not disappointed when we actually arrived...it was better than we had hoped for! The Villa was clean, well stocked, and absolutely gorgeous. We loved that a group of 7 women could comfortably stay in one house together, and the beach / pool area was perfect for lounging. The outdoor showers were amazing, too! We had a wonderful stay, and I would 100% recommend this property at Cocoplum resort to anyone visiting Belize. Aaron was so helpful with all of the arrangements, both before the trip and during (even though he had unfortunately suffered a broken leg about a month before we arrived, and couldn't move around much). Aaron assisted with shuttles, coordinating our first night's dinner - Miss Radiance's food was delicious!, a very easy method of payment, any amenities that we might need during the stay, suggestions for local travel/restaurants, car rental, info about Belize, and so much more. Thanks to Aaron and the staff at Cocoplum, our 40th Bday trip to Belize was one that we will never forget!!"Guest: Stephanie R. Date of Stay: March 2016 Review Submitted: May 27, 2016View listing
"Connie (the owner) was excellent in communications, sent me lots of "what to do / where to go" lists prior to arriving at OYV. The Suzuki "jeep" was great for getting anywhere and having a local plate made it that much easier to park without hassle. The condo was just off the main road heading across the VG, and very close to SpanishTown. Comfortable 2bdrm with air, although we rarely used it with the TradeWinds and screen doors! Facilities were available onsite, but we didn't really use them because we were going everywhere! Staff are excellent!! There was some "critique" I read about roosters crowing. Well, welcome to the Islands, man! I have been on many islands, and roosters crow, whether you are in the country or right in town. It is part of the life. Highly recommend Connie's place. You will not be disappointed."Guest: Habitual_Traveler Date of Stay: November 2015 Review Submitted: November 16, 2015View listing

GP14 2011 Speed Sails Grand Prix focus
by GP14 UK Class Association on 5 Mar 2011
GP14 Nationals 2010 GP14 Class Association
GP14 Speed Sails Grand Prix - In this second article we are spotlighting the two Scottish Clubs hosting the two Scottish events that make up part of the Grand Prix Series, the Scottish Championship venue at Annandale in June and the nominated event venue at Arran Yacht Club in September.
Area Rep Duncan Greenhalgh assisted by Paul O'Neil.
Annandale Sailing Club
Annandale Sailing Club is thrilled to be hosting the 2011 GP14 Scottish Championship on June, 11th & 12th. The club hosts an annual GP14 Open which, in 2010, attracted 17 boats from Scotland and the north of England, hopefully that turnout will be swelled for this Championship and Grand Prix qualification event.
The club is a very popular venue for Scottish Championships partly due to its accessibility being situated just 4 miles off the M74 at Lockerbie, approximately 20 miles north of the border with England. The club also has a great reputation for hosting good open meetings with efficient race management and great hospitality.
The club is based at Castle Loch, the largest of several lochs around the pretty village of Lochmaben and is striving to maintain fleet racing for its 5 recognised classes: GP14, Laser, Mirror, Optimist and Topper. The club is proud of its strong cadet section. Since 2005, developments have enhanced facilities at Annandale with extended changing rooms, a new jetty, re-surfaced launching and a new boathouse.
Arran Yacht Club
Arran Yacht Club was formed in 1956 to promote the sport of sailing on the Isle of Arran. The club is based at Lamlash Pier and as well as owning its premises has a long term lease on the Pier, Slipways and adjoining shore. We have a strong junior section, Arran Junior Sailing Club, who meet on a Tuesday evening and a number of juniors join in with the Saturday racing.
During the summer the club holds handicap dinghy racing on Saturdays and some Sundays from Easter to October. Regular classes involved are Albacores, GP14s and Lasers but any dinghy with a Portsmouth Yardstick handicap is welcome to join in. In addition keelboats have their own programme of Cup Races and some join in with mainland clubs to race.
Lamlash Harbour is an ideal area for sailing with relatively sheltered waters and scenery to die for. From the water you get views to the north of Lamlash Village and the hills behind, including Goat Fell, to the east Holy Isle, now a Buddhist retreat centre, to the south Kings Cross and a Viking fort, where the Vikings assembled before the battle of Largs in 1263.
Visitors are always welcome and can join and store their boat for the duration of their holiday. All we ask is they contact the Secretary or Treasurer beforehand. On the water we provide 20 Visitor moorings which we charge at a rate of £15 per night or £75 for a week.
Access to The Isle of Arran is by Cal Mac ferry from either Ardrossan to Brodick or Claonaig to Lochranza, booking for vehicles on the Brodick route is advised, especially if you are towing your GP14.

Champagne stuff is very overused in sailing, but with temperature in the high twenties, 15kts average, three qualifying series races, your mates are your arch competitors it is at the very least aqua frizzante, or full fat coke and not the zero stuff. OK, after race one the wind did ease off and by race three it was more like 8-10kts.

Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. (NYSE:HII) said that its Ingalls Shipbuilding division celebrated the "start of fabrication" of the U.S. Coast Guard's fourth National Security Cutter, Hamilton (WMSL 753). The shipbuilding milestone signifies that 100 tons of steel have been cut and fabricated utilizing a robotic plasma arc cutting machine at Ingalls' steel fabrication complex.
Ingalls received the $480 million contract to build Hamilton in November 2010. The ship is scheduled to be delivered to the U.S. Coast Guard in the fall of 2014.
"Start of fabrication is obviously one of the most important milestones in the life of a ship," said Mike Duthu, Ingalls' program manager, U.S. Coast Guard programs. "Our shipbuilders are looking forward to keeping this line of production moving forward on National Security Cutters. We're improving ship-to-ship and implementing construction enhancements to ensure the Coast Guard is getting the best quality ship at an affordable price."
Ingalls has delivered the first two NSCs, Bertholf (WMSL 750) and Waesche (WMSL 751). Stratton (WMSL 752), the third of eight planned ships in the Legend class of highly capable, technologically advanced multi-mission cutters, will be delivered to the U.S. Coast Guard on Friday.
NSCs are the flagship of the Coast Guard's cutter fleet, designed to replace the 378‐foot Hamilton-class High-Endurance Cutters, which entered service during the 1960s. NSCs are 418 feet long with a 54-foot beam and displace 4,500 tons with a full load. They have a top speed of 28 knots, a range of 12,000 miles, an endurance of 60 days and a crew of 110.
Ingalls builds the NSC hull and mechanical and electrical systems, while Lockheed Martin builds and integrates the command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) capabilities onboard the cutters.
The Legend-class NSC is capable of meeting all maritime security mission needs required of the High Endurance Cutter. The cutter includes an aft launch and recovery area for two rigid hull inflatable boats and a flight deck to accommodate a range of manned and unmanned rotary wing aircraft. It is the largest and most technologically advanced class of cutter in the U.S. Coast Guard, with robust capabilities for maritime homeland security, law enforcement, marine safety, environmental protection and national defense missions. This class of cutters plays an important role enhancing the Coast Guard's operational readiness, capacity and effectiveness at a time when the demand for their services has never been greater.
