Crusher - futuristic Unmanned Ground Combat Vehicle.
Safeguarding the soldier is the key aim of the Unmanned Ground Combat Vehicle,
giving soldiers enhanced stand-off capability was the reason DARPA funded
the Grand Challenge and backed up again two years later with the second challenge
and is now holding the challenge in an urban area - such contests dramatically
accelerated research into autonomous navigation and identified the most capable people
to for the military to work with. The National Robotics Engineering Center (NREC)
is part of the Robotics Institute in Carnegie Mellon University's School of
Computer Science, unveiled Crusher last week. Carnegie Mellon vehicles finished
a close second and third in the Grand Challenge though everyone knew they were at

racing program when a 1964 289 Cobra could provide the basis for then
Ford Design director Eugene Bordinat's two-seat sports car, the "Cougar II."
A time when the GT40 (or more correctly the Ford GT Mark 1,
to use its official name), was first breaking cover, and its roofline was inspiring
high-performance vehicles the world over. Read a lot more.

The day is hopelessly lost.

Rather cold and wet outside it's cosy at the Bagels, sunny girls.

Too soon it's raining on Monday, so one needs a Burbery umbrella
or a stylish Jaguar to cruise the ultra posh shopping street.

My Promised Land
  In the Spring of 2002 Roger Sparks was traveling
with a virgin agenda when he landed

But he had a plan, to meet Dr. Robert Ballard,
the discoverer of the Titanic.
