Spina Bifida
Spina bifida is a birth abnormality in which the spine is malformed and lacks its usual protective skeletal and soft tissue coverings.
Spina bifida may appear in the body midline anywhere from the neck to the buttocks. In its most severe form, termed spinal rachischisis, the entire spinal canal is open, exposing the spinal cord and nerves. More commonly, the abnormality appears as a localized mass on the back that is covered by skin or by the meninges, the three-layered membrane that envelops the spinal cord. Spina bifida is usually readily apparent at birth because of the malformation of the back and paralysis below the level of the abnormality.
Various forms of spina bifida are known as meningomyelocele, myelomeningocele, spina bifida aperta, open spina bifida, myelodysplasia, spinal dysraphism, spinal rachischisis, myelocele, and meningocele. The term meningocele is used when the spine malformation contains only the protective covering (meninges) of the spinal cord. The other terms indicate involvement of the spinal cord and nerves in the malformation. A related term, spina bifida occulta, indicates that one or more of the bony bodies in the spine are incompletely hardened, but that there is no abnormality of the spinal cord itself.
Spina bifida occurs worldwide, but there has been a steady downward trend in occurrence rates since about 1940, particularly in regions of high prevalence. The highest prevalence rates, about one in 200 pregnancies, have been reported from certain northern provinces in China. Intermediate prevalence rates, about one in 1000 pregnancies, have been found in Central and South America. The lowest prevalence rates, less than one in 2,000 pregnancies, have been found in European countries. The highest regional prevalence in the United States of about one in 500 pregnancies has occurred in the Southeast.
Causes and symptoms
Spina bifida may occur as an isolated abnormality or in the company of other malformations. As an isolated abnormality, spina bifida is caused by the combination of genetic factors and environmental influences that bring about malformation of the spine and spinal column. The specific genes and environmental influences that contribute to the many-factored causes of spina bifida were not as of 2004 completely known. An insufficiency of folic acid is known to be one influential nutritional factor. Changes (mutations) in genes involving the metabolism of folic acid are believed to be significant genetic risk factors. The recurrence risk after the birth of an infant with isolated spina bifida is 3 to 5 percent.
Spina bifida may arise because of chromosome abnormalities, single gene mutations, or specific environmental insults such as maternal diabetes mellitus or prenatal exposure to certain anticonvulsant drugs. The recurrence risk varies with each of these specific causes.
In most cases, spina bifida is obvious at birth because of malformation of the spine. The spine may be completely open, exposing the spinal cord and nerves. More commonly, the spine abnormality appears as a mass on the back covered by membrane (meninges) or skin. Spina bifida may occur any where from the base of the skull to the buttocks. About 75 percent of abnormalities occur in the lower back (lumbar) region. In rare instances, the spinal cord malformation may occur internally, sometimes with a connection to the gastrointestinal tract.
In spina bifida, many complications arise, dependent in part on the level and severity of the spine malformation. As a rule, the nerves below the level of the abnormality develop in a faulty manner and fail to function, resulting in paralysis and loss of sensation below the level of the spine malformation. Since most abnormalities occur in the lumbar region, the lower limbs are paralyzed and lack sensation. Furthermore, the bowel and bladder have inadequate nerve connections, causing an inability to control bowel and bladder function. Most infants also develop hydrocephaly, an accumulation of excess fluid in the four cavities of the brain. At least one of every seven cases develops findings of Chiari II malformation, a condition in which the lower part of the brain is crowded and may be forced into the upper part of the spinal cavity.
There are a number of mild variant forms of spina bifida, including multiple vertebral abnormalities, skin dimples, tufts of hair, and localized areas of skin deficiency over the spine. Two variants, lipomeningocele and lipomyelomeningocele, typically occur in the lower back area (lumbar or sacral) of the spine. In these conditions, a tumor of fatty tissue becomes isolated among the nerves below the spinal cord, which may result in tethering of the spinal cord and complications similar to those with open spina bifida.

Profanity and blasphemy aside, one of the major players in "The Book of Mormon" says the creators of the raunchy "South Park" and "Avenue Q" have crafted a charming show that parodies not only organized religion, but Broadway musicals, as well.
The laugh-riot that swept the 2011 Tony Awards is making its first national tour, landing in the Civic Center in Des Moines for 14 performances from Jan. 24 to Feb. 3, 2013.
"This show is so frigging brilliant. I'm so proud to be part of this show," says Mike McGowan, 42, a Sioux Falls, S.D., native and graduate of Drake University in Des Moines.
He plays several roles in the hit musical, including Prophet Joseph Smith, who published the Book of Mormon in 1830 and established what is now The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The actor says Smith is treated like a rock star in the script.
"He's idolized, because he usually appears as a tool that the missionaries use," McGowan says, adding that "All-American Prophet" is his favorite song in a show full of peppy, bouncy numbers that harken to everything from "The Sound of Music" and "Up with People" to "Wicked" and "The King and I."
With a cast of 31, it's the story of two Mormon missionaries who are sent to Africa, where they try to introduce their lord to villagers oppressed by their warlord. All sorts of hilarity ensues, wrapped around much deeper issues, but also filled with images of horror and pop culture through the likes of Hitler, hobbits, Yoda and dancing cups of coffee.
The details
- "The Book of Mormon"
- Civic Center, 221 Walnut St., Des Moines
- Jan. 24 to Feb. 3; 7:30 p.m. Tuesday to Friday; 2 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday; 1 and 6:30 p.m. Sunday
- Tickets: $35 to $130 at the Civic Center Box Office, Ticketmaster outlets, 1-(800) 745-3000 or CivicCenter.org
- Warning: Contains explicit language
- Show website: Bookofmormonbroadway.com
"Part of the charm of the show is that it's like a Rogers and Hammerstein musical," says McGowan, son of a Navy musician dad and news anchor mother.
A self-proclaimed theater nerd, he was bitten by the theatrical bug at an early age in Sioux Falls, and moved to New York City 14 years ago, where his impressive resume includes roles in "The Producers" and "Ragtime" on Broadway and a stint as ringmaster for the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. A dramatic tenor, he also sang Leonard Bernstein's "Mass" with Cedar Rapids native Tim Shew in New York.
"The Book of Mormon" musical is "very old-fashioned in its structure," McGowan says by phone from a tour stop in Seattle. "Bobby Lopez, the composer, has even said the model is 'The Music Man,' which is a very Iowa story — the idea that the stranger comes to town to sell a fake idea, but in end, the idea is real and it works. It changes people's lives, it buoys their spirits. That's what happens in 'The Music Man.'
"That also works because Mormons are such an affable people — so friendly and generous and kind," he says.
"This musical could be a musical about any religion. It could be about Muslims, it could be about Catholics. But what makes it so quintessentially American and perfect for musical theater is because Mormons have that happy, shiny sensibility," he says. "It's a brilliant combination of things that way."
It is, however, rife with profanity and does poke fun at the Mormon way of life, which could easily draw a backlash of wrath and protests. Instead, the Mormon church has taken the high road in its response to the show.
"Officially, the church is very classy," McGowan says. "They don't comment on the show. Actually, in every city we've been in, they've put out three pages of ads in our playbill, saying, 'You've seen the play, now read the book.' I think that's just a smart move, because the more attention they bring to it, the more attention we get — not that we need any. The show's wildly successful."
McGowan describes himself as a very spiritual person who was raised Catholic, has left the church, but loves theological dialogues. Most of the Mormons he's spoken with after performances actually are ex-Mormons. "They appreciate the show on a totally different level," he says.
"It really boils down to this notion at end of show — I don't think I'm giving away too much by saying it — that when we talk about religion, number one, it's really important to have a sense of humor. Number two, it doesn't matter if stories are made up, if they're myths. What matters is that they point to something bigger. And number three, instead of waiting for heaven, let's make this paradise. Let's make the world a better place and quit focusing on what's going to happen to us after we die," he says.
"Those are really the most important things about the show. And it lifts you up when think about it that way. You can be shocked. Life is shocking, and hopefully you'll have a sense of humor about it. What's so brilliant about the show is that these awful, shocking things happen, and you can be terribly offended, but ultimately, these people come to an understanding that's so, so open-hearted and generous and sweet. I hope audiences leave with that sensibility and are lifted," he says.
If you haven't seen the show, he cautions against digging too deeply into the plot points and music beforehand.
"One of the things that's exciting about this show is to come without too much foreknowledge," he says.
It's more fun to just let the music and the story flow over you — to discover all the fun that has made believers out of audiences and critics alike.
"You've never seen a musical like this. There are things you've never heard in a musical," McGowan says.
"The show has such a positive outlook. It perfectly balances whatever might shock you."

"545" and we the people put them therePosted Friday, January 27, 2012, at 4:29 AM
A very interesting column.. COMPLETELY NEUTRAL
Be sure to Read the Poem at the end. Charley Reese's final column for the Orlando Sentinel... He has been a journalist for 49 years. He is retiring and this is HIS LAST COLUMN. Be sure to read the Tax List at the end. This is about as clear and easy to understand as it can be. The article below is completely neutral, neither anti-republican or democrat. Charlie Reese, a retired reporter for the Orlando Sentinel, has hit the nail directly on the head, defining clearly who it is that in the final analysis must assume responsibility for the judgments made that impact each one of us every day. It's a short but good read. Worth the time. Worth remembering! 545 vs. 300,000,000 People -By Charlie Reese Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them. Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits? Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes? You and I don't propose a federal budget. The President does. You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does. You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does. You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does. You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does. One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one President, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country. I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank. I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a President to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes. Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party. What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits. The President can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it. The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? John Boehner. He is the leader of the majority party. He and fellow House members, not the President, can approve any budget they want. If the President vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to. It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist. If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair. If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red. If the Army & Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan it's because they want them in Iraq and Afghanistan ... If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way. There are no insoluble government problems. Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do. Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible. They, and they alone, have the power. They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses. Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees... We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess! Charlie Reese is a former columnist of the Orlando Sentinel Newspaper. What you do with this article now that you have read it... is up to you. This might be funny if it weren't so true. Be sure to read all the way to the end: Tax his land, Tax his bed, Tax the table, At which he's fed. Tax his tractor, Tax his mule, Teach him taxes Are the rule. Tax his work, Tax his pay, He works for peanuts anyway! Tax his cow, Tax his goat, Tax his pants, Tax his coat. Tax his ties, Tax his shirt, Tax his work, Tax his dirt. Tax his tobacco, Tax his drink, Tax him if he Tries to think. Tax his cigars, Tax his beers, If he cries Tax his tears. Tax his car, Tax his gas, Find other ways To tax his butt. Tax all he has Then let him know That you won't be done Till he has no dough. When he screams and hollers; Then tax him some more, Tax him till He's good and sore. Then tax his coffin, Tax his grave, Tax the sod in Which he's laid... Put these words Upon his tomb, 'Taxes drove me to my doom...' When he's gone, Do not relax, Its time to apply The inheritance tax. Accounts Receivable Tax Building Permit Tax CDL license Tax Cigarette Tax Corporate Income Tax Dog License Tax Excise Taxes Federal Income Tax Federal Unemployment Tax (FUTA) Fishing License Tax Food License Tax Fuel Permit Tax Gasoline Tax (currently 44.75 cents per gallon) Gross Receipts Tax Hunting License Tax Inheritance Tax Inventory Tax IRS Interest Charges IRS Penalties (tax on top of tax) Liquor Tax Luxury Taxes Marriage License Tax Medicare Tax Personal Property Tax Property Tax Real Estate Tax Service Charge Tax Social Security Tax Road Usage Tax Recreational Vehicle Tax Sales Tax School Tax State Income Tax State Unemployment Tax (SUTA) Telephone Federal Excise Tax Telephone Federal Universal Service Fee Tax Telephone Federal, State and Local Surcharge Taxes Telephone Minimum Usage Surcharge Tax Telephone Recurring and Nonrecurring Charges Tax Telephone State and Local Tax Telephone Usage Charge Tax Utility Taxes Vehicle License Registration Tax Vehicle Sales Tax Watercraft Registration Tax Well Permit Tax Workers Compensation Tax STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?

A very good article Joe. I take issue with a couple of things, but one of the most important is the fact that WE the people do not elect the Supreme Court. Each member is appointed for life, and in my opinion the was a reason for that then, and that reason is just as valid today. The article seems to give a pass to those who do in fact buy our government almost on a daily basis. I truly doubt there are 537 people that have the resources to run for Federal Office that aren't either beholden to, or can be blackmailed by those who are buying our Republic. Case in point. Look at Newt. Right now he is beholden to the tune of 10 million plus dollars to 1 man. If Newt wins, do you really expect him to look at this man who basically bought him the election and say. Well thanks for the money, now go sit in the corner and be quiet while I tend to the PEOPLES business???? If you do believe this can happen, I have a great deal for you on a bridge in Brooklyn. I don't mean to be disrespectful of you Joe, or Mr. Reese, or anyone else really. I guess you can say I have a rather low opinion of many of those who are seeking power today. Mr. Reese is correct in that WE ARE TO BLAME. Now the question is, how do we really, honestly fix it?. -- Posted by royincaldwell on Fri, Jan 27, 2012, at 6:02 AM
And some would like more taxes. Think it was on TV the other night. Why not lower taxes, close loop holes, and make the scheme easier? -- Posted by skeeter on Fri, Jan 27, 2012, at 6:24 AM

Well Mike, then we are going to have to change the Constitution. But beware of the chaos that may follow. What maybe legal and Constitutional 1 year could be illegal and Unconstitutional after the next election cycle. Is the risk worth it? -- Posted by royincaldwell on Fri, Jan 27, 2012, at 8:07 AM
Actually folks, the Supreme Court is appointed by people WE elected at one time or another and that were Approved by people WE elected. While WE baby boomers may not live to see the next round of change in the Court, that is still the way our forefathers designed the system to work. Just my two-cents worth. -- Posted by wh67 on Fri, Jan 27, 2012, at 8:44 AM
The point I was trying to make was, let's say that there is an enormous backlash for whatever reason, and a majority of Justices get elected that decide that private gun ownership is only allowed if your a member of a recognized militia. Recognized is the key word. I know what I'm talking about is going to the extreme, but I hope you get my drift. -- Posted by royincaldwell on Fri, Jan 27, 2012, at 8:48 AM

Many central Ohio school districts have delayed the start of classes today because of extreme cold temperatures and wind chills.
Canal Winchester, Groveport Madison, Hamilton Local, Marysville, Olentangy, Westerville and Whitehall are among area districts that will wait two hours before having classes begin.
The National Weather Service has issued a wind chill advisory for much of Ohio until 10 a.m. because single-digit temperatures coupled with 15 mph winds will make it feel like 15 below zero.
Anyone planning to go outdoors is urged to dress warmly and ensure that all exposed skin is covered.
WBNS-10TV meteorologist Mike Davis predicts today's high temperature will reach only 16 degrees in Columbus, and cooler in outlying areas.
Tonight the mercury will again fall to the single digits, and Wednesday temperatures may be slightly warmer, reaching 20 degrees.

CureSearch for Children's Cancer funds and supportstargeted and innovative children's cancer research with measurableresults, and is the authoritative source of information and resourcesfor all those affected by children's cancer.
CureSearch for Children's Cancer is a national non-profit foundation that accelerates the cure for children's cancer by driving innovation, eliminating research barriers and solving the field's most challenging problems. We fight every day to make treatment possible and a cure probable for the 36 children diagnosed with cancer daily. We do this in three ways:
Ultimately, CureSearch is working to change the odds for those children most at risk.
To fund and support targeted and innovative children's cancer research with measurable results, and be the authoritative source of information and resources for all those affected by children's cancer.
The 2013 Acceleration Initiative will make up 50% of CureSearch's funding and will support three "grand challenges" that currently create barriers to advancing cures for children.
Understand why cancer spreads and how to develop medications to prevent it from doing so.
Support researchers trying to understand how cells are able to become drug-resistant so that new medications preventing this from occurring can be given to children.
Address roadblocks in research to increase the speed at which drugs move from the laboratory to the patient.
Because clinical trials can save children's lives today and help accelerate the delivery of new therapies to children, CureSearch will continue to support local hospitals with Clinical Trial Advancement Awards, providing 20% of revenue to these trials in 2013.
CureSearch continues to provide education and resources so that no child faces a diagnosis and treatment without a fully equipped team behind them. This year, CureSearch will:
CureSearch.org is an online resource for patients, their families and support systems. The website provides up-to-date information about the various types of children's cancer along with research trials, definitions and descriptions of tests, procedures and treatments and information to help families manage the emotional aspects of caring for a child with cancer.
In the last 40 years, the overall survival rate for children's cancer has increased from 10% to 78%. Still, for many types of children's cancer, the survival rate is much less. Consider the following:
At CureSearch, our vision is to guarantee a cure for every child.
CureSearch raises funds through philanthropic donations from individuals, special events, corporations, private foundations, sponsorships, and cause marketing. This year, we are increasing our focus on major gifts and venture philanthropy to secure large donations while continuing to host events across the nation. In 2013, 60 CureSearch Walks and 11 Ultimate Hike events will take place in communities large and small. In addition, people and organizations can choose to hold 3rd party fundraising events which benefit CureSearch.
Please contact us at 800-458-6223 or email firstname.lastname@example.com if you would like to partner with CureSearch for Children's Cancer.

Before Steve Jobs: 5 Corporate Innovators who Shaped Our World
The former head of Apple comes from a long line of American innovators who changed society
- By Joseph Stromberg
- Smithsonian.com, August 26, 2011
No innovators have been as responsible for the brute technological horsepower that enabled the information technology revolution as Noyce, right, and Moore, founders of Intel. In the early 1970s, they created the first successful commercial microprocessors, and the company has remained the premier computer hardware supplier ever since.
"They were always focused on getting more and more capability onto chips: smaller, cheaper, much more powerful," says Allison. "Their belief was that if they got the technology better and better, it would be adopted." The Intel chips that power today's PCs and handheld devices are a testament to their foresight.

Beautiful article, short briefs are soo good for news. People love to read short brief stories, now... I'm an Innovator myself, or at least I like to think I am and your missing a big one... Kinda like You talked about Spiderman, Thor, Hulk, and forgot to talk about The Iron Man! Come on! Like Upset you did not Include Larry Ellison!

henry ford and steve jobs were ultimate innovators for they gathered the people around them and motivate them for the thing to invent which was literally imposssible the long time before
wright brothers comes after them i think

They forgot one of the giants...Cyrus McCormick. The man who, more than anyone else, turned this country from an agricultural one to an industrial one with his invention of the mechanical reaper. He also helped the Union win the Civil War. While the South largely grew cash crops (tobacco, cotton), the Midwest mostly grew foodstuffs. With many of the Midwestern farmers off fighting the Civil War, one man with a team and a reaper could keep dozens of soldiers fed.

" Bill Gates is no Steve Jobs". Both of them are on this list on their own right. The personal computer became a household item because of Gates' vision. Jobs, in iPhone, put together in one package what Palm and blackberry had been doing already, but with his creative touch. Just like Edison had made the technology that Tesla has been nurturing accessible to the masses. Those who know the history, in the past Microsoft's investment in Apple helped the company flourish. To be appreciative of Steve's work, you do not have to discredit others - in doing that, you are taking away from what this innovator rightfully deserves on his own merit.

henry ford should be in the list. so are the railroad barons. they might have been ruthless but they changed the way people lived.
Posted by minnie on October 6,2011 | 12:33 PM
I think Ford raised his worker's pay to $5.00 a day so they could buy a Ford. Even a short list should include the true industrialist like Carnegie, Rockefeller, Railroad magnates, the Dukes, and a few others who truly changed the way our society functions.
Posted by d. Martin on September 14,2011 | 09:31 AM
Seems to me that Lee Iacocca is standing in front of the name of one of the top three innovators this country has ever seen; Henry Ford. Ford, Edison, and the Wright brothers built much of the industrial wealth of this country with their vision, determination, and innovations. Iacocca was more of a marketing man in my opinion.
Posted by Claude Schlecker on September 2,2011 | 06:32 AM
Bill Gates is no Steve Jobs. He did nothing innovative. He was a ruthless business man. If he couldn't buy a company, he put them out of business. He is aligned with the likes Henry Ford and Rockefeller.
Posted by Gil Hansen on September 1,2011 | 06:32 PM
Excellent choices all but no such list is ever really complete. I would add Henry Ford who, like Jobs, had the vision to imagine what technology can do in our lives. Jobs imagined a computer in every home and Ford imagined a car in every driveway. Radical ideas both.
Ford redefined the concept of a car for a generation of Americans with his Model T. No longer was a car a toy or sport for the wealthy but a new mode of transportation for the "great multitude" as he put it.
Ford's mass production system for the Model T enabled the $5 day which created a large, new middle class customer for his products. Marketing genius !

Jobs did all this without dressing up or making a fool of people.
He demonstarted that you could be sincere, love your work and enjoy what you do.

Thank you Steve Jobs, for blessing us with incredible technology. I love my Apple MacBookPro. May the good Lord bless you with a turnaround in your health and bring you peace.
May God Bless You!
Posted by Ellen Laprise on August 31,2011 | 01:50 PM
Shameful that you mention Robert Noyce but ignore Jack Kilby. Jack Kilby was instrumental in growth of TI. He had the chip invention 6 months before Robert Noyce, who was working for Fairchild at the time.
Just like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, in opposite camps innovated.

Save the Blimp Base
From this Naval air station airships hunted U-boats in the Florida Keys.
- By John Sotham
- Air & Space magazine, September 2001
Just outside the fences of Miami's Metrozoo-a 740-acre park where sleek monorails glide above a faux African plain-sits a handsome two-story wooden building surrounded by tall grass. A few boards hang askew from its clapboard exterior, and the roof above its portico is held up temporarily with steel girders. To get here, we've threaded our cars through a forest of spindly pine trees to this reclaimed clearing, a journey that evokes an exciting sense of discovering something forgotten. Just outside the building's entrance, Navy Petty Officer John Smith yanks the cord on a portable generator, which coughs to life. A few lights flick on, and we head down a creaky hallway and enter a large storage room, where a slide projector sits on a table and overturned paint buckets serve as seats. It's hot in here.
We're inside what was once the headquarters of Naval Air Station Richmond, a blimp base hastily constructed in the early months of World War II. As the slide projector clatters, Naval Reserve Chief Yeoman Anthony Atwood narrates and two former crewmen, who launched on blimps near here, stand by to lend their voices to the story. The crewmen, Ford Ross and James Sinquefield, have joined a small band of enthusiasts organized by Atwood who want to restore the headquarters building and convert it into a museum.
As Atwood talks, his hands make shadows on the sepia-tinted photos flashing on the wall. "Richmond was eventually home to 25 K-series blimps, three hangars, and 3,000 men," he says. "The hangars were 16 stories tall, built of Douglas fir brought in by train. The blimps protected ship convoys in the Florida Straits, and [Richmond] was the headquarters for the fight against Nazi U-boats operating in the Caribbean."
Ford interrupts: "That's not a K-type blimp, Anthony, that's an M-type."
Atwood rolls his eyes. "Okay, okay, as I was saying...," he says.
The story proceeds, and the enthusiasm brims. Atwood, Ross, and Sinquefield tell me that except for this building, the only other above-ground remnant of the base is one of the massive hangars' corner pillars, which stands about 300 yards away. But other clues to the site's past are around, if you look carefully. Directly outside the building under the relentless sub-tropical undergrowth, Atwood's volunteers found a four-foot-wide Marine Corps emblem the Marines had placed next to NAS Richmond's flagpole. And the old ramp is in plain view-it's now part of the parking lot at the zoo. Families who've come for a nature experience exit their minivans where ground crew released the mooring lines that sent the lumbering blimps on their lonely patrols for German U-boats.
Shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor, enemy submarines began bringing the war close to the U.S. mainland. In late 1941, a Japanese submarine shelled a highway outside Santa Barbara, California, and on the Atlantic coast, U-boats would sink 574 U.S. and Allied merchant ships in 1942. When the war began, the U.S. Navy had only 10 blimps capable of coastal anti-submarine patrols. Soon more than 200 would join the fleet.
Most of them were K-type airships, powered by two Pratt & Whitney R-1340 Wasp engines, which gave them a top speed of 77 mph. Their envelopes were three-ply cotton bags impregnated with rubber or synthetic neoprene. The interior was coated with paraffin to make it leakproof. Most of the K-ships were 252 feet long and held as much as 456,000 cubic feet of helium. But when deflated, the five-ton envelope could fit into a shipping box 12 feet long, six feet high, and six feet wide.

What was an A & R Department at a WWII Navy blimp base? Thanks, Bob Jensen
Posted by Bob Jensen on May 20,2008 | 02:17 PM
In 1954, when I was five years old, my family moved from Hialeah to five acres of land west of Perrine and south of what was to become Richmond Heights. I still remember being able to see the hanger frames off in the distant. My father told me about the base and because we were far out in the sticks, I spent a lot of time thinking about them and gazing at them just over the horizon. They were spooky and sureal and I loved them.

Thanks for your wonderful article. Do you have any pictures of the three hangar frames from the late fifties? I remember seeing them from my teenage years living in South Miami.
Posted by Sidney Brooks on February 15,2010 | 09:46 AM
I was stationed there back in the 70's. We satrted out at UOM and then after the Kent State ordeal we were to meet at the richmond site. It was impressive,large hangers that housed these bimps,but what blew my mind was the largest peice of concrete I had ever seen. You actually could get lost on that slab.
Posted by anthony maggio on April 2,2010 | 10:45 PM
Hi! I was on the southern tip of key Biscayne (Cape Florida) during that Hurricane and we watched the glow in the sky across the bay durning the time the hangers burned. Long long time ago. mlm

Looking for information,I have a Nazi slide projector with the swastikas? on it,still in the original wooden create that it was issued in .The bulb still works,paper round electric cord and it's in pretty good shape.I also have two German rifles and a uniform.The projector is my main concern,it wont last forever in the humidity.There is a little rust on the box hinges as well as the paint is bubbled up in a couple of places on the projector.It was told to me by the man I bought it from,his father collected these items at ducal concentration camp.I'm sure the numbers on it can be traced but thats over my head..It's not that I want to sell it but I don't want too keep it hide away and let it rust when the whole world should have chance to see it as well be cared for properly..Thanks for your time and would appreciate any advice you may have.

I would like to write to Marvin L. Mobley. My late husband Alois Edward Pent, also spent his summers on Key Biscayne. Ed had an uncle named Paul Pent, his family member was a caretaker there, also a Lighthouse keeper. His grandfather was born there. Joan was his cousin. My husband was born in December, 1925, and he had a brother named John who was younger. Maybe you remember him and all his relatives. Please e-mail me. I lived in Miami for 40 years, but moved to Naples in 1972 I live in Naples Fl. I too was raised in Miami, and went to Silver Bluff, and Shenadoah Jr. High. Went to Miami Jackson for about 3 months. Then married a Coast Guard sailor stationed at Dinner Key. You may know my brother, Joseph Oliveros, called JJ.
I would to hear from you.

I was raised within 3 miles of Richmond and spent years going there almost every weekend from the late 60's to the early 80's (just before Metro Zoo move there from Key Biscayne). When I was a kid I used to find shipping boxes all over the place that were dated from the early to mid 40's on a regular basis. I investigated the entire area including the remains of all 3 hangars and the bombs shelters, gun range etc... To this day when I think about the place it reminds me of how much Miami has changed over the last 40 years. There used to be drag races out there every Sunday afternoon on one of the runways. I remember literally hundreds of people out there racing GTO's, Chevelle SS's, early Z-28's and Trans Am's, you name it. It was a great experience for a young kid that I wouldn't trade for the world.

I lived across the street from the blimp base in 1957-1958 when I was 11. I used to look through the fence and thought it was a very spooky place because you could see the tall hangers. My sister did the drag racing over there.
