Yamaha and Valentino Rossi to part company at end of 2010

The Japanese factory has announced that their seven-year partnership with the reigning World Champion will come to an end once the current season concludes.

Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. would like to announce that the partnership between Valentino Rossi and Yamaha will come to an end at the close of the season, when Valentino will move on to new challenges.

Yamaha and Valentino have enjoyed seven fantastic seasons of racing, during which time they have won four MotoGP World Championships together.

Valentino has played a huge part in the history of Yamaha and he will always remain an important part of Yamaha's heritage. Yamaha is extremely grateful for Valentino's contributions to its racing successes over the past seven years and it would like to wish him the very best in his future racing endeavours.

Yamaha will be putting all its efforts into ensuring a successful and happy end to the partnership over the remaining races.

Lin Jarvis, Managing Director of Yamaha Motor Racing, said "On behalf of the Yamaha Motor Group, I would like to express our sincere gratitude for the amazing seven years that we have spent together. Valentino joined Yamaha in 2004 at a moment when Yamaha was struggling in road racing after eleven seasons without a championship victory. Valentino's victory at his first GP race for Yamaha in South Africa in 2004 was an incredible moment and was just the first of many more race wins that have thrilled MotoGP fans and Yamaha fans around the world. His unsurpassed skills as a racer and a development rider enabled him to win four MotoGP world titles to date with us and helped Yamaha develop the YZR-M1 into the ‘the bike of reference' for the MotoGP class.”

"There have been so many wonderful experiences and victories and we are very proud to have been able to make history together. Whilst we regret Vale's decision to move on, at the same time we fully respect his decision to search for a new challenge and we wish him the very best for 2011 and beyond.

"For the remaining eight races of 2010 Valentino will remain a Yamaha Factory rider. As such he will continue to benefit from our full support and we hope and expect to see some more race wins with him ‘in blue' before the season is over!"

Rossi stated: "It is very difficult to explain in just a few words what my relationship with Yamaha has been in these past seven years.”

"Many things have changed since that far-off time in 2004, but especially ‘she', my M1, has changed. At that time she was a poor middle-grid position MotoGP bike, derided by most of the riders and the MotoGP workers. Now, after having helped her to grow and improve, you can see her smiling in her garage, courted and admired, treated as the ‘top of the class'.”

"The list of the people that made this transformation possible is very long, but I would like to thank anyway Masao Furusawa, Masahiko Nakajima and ‘my' Hiroya Atsumi, as representatives of all the engineers that worked hard to change the face of our M1. Then Jeremy Burgess and all my guys in the garage, who took care of her with love on all the tracks of the world and also all the men and women that have worked in the Yamaha team during these years.”

"Now the moment has come to look for new challenges; my work here at Yamaha is finished. Unfortunately even the most beautiful love stories finish, but they leave a lot of wonderful memories, like when my M1 and I kissed for the first time on the grass at Welkom, when she looked straight in my eyes and told me ‘I love you!'

Three Nato troops die in an explosion in Afghanistan

Isaf did not give details of the nationalities of those killed

Three Nato soldiers have been killed in a bomb explosion in western Afghanistan, a day after six coalition troops died in a number of attacks.

The three troops were killed when an improvised explosive device went off, the Nato-led International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) said.
The latest violence comes as the Taliban denied it has had secret contacts with the Afghan government.
Isaf has not given details of the nationalities of the dead soldiers.
However American, Spanish, Italian and Lithuanian troops are based in the west of the country.
At least 30 Nato soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan this month.

On Wednesday, six soldiers were killed in attacks in southern and eastern Afghanistan.

Five were killed in two separate blasts in the south, while an "insurgent attack" in the east of the country killed another, Isaf said.
'Futile and baseless' Meanwhile Taliban spokesman Zabihollah Mojahed told the BBC Persian website that Afghan President Hamid Karzai's recent claims to have had secret talks with them were untrue.
President Karzai said earlier this month that "unofficial contacts" had been established with the Taliban in an attempt to end the war.
"I categorically deny that any such contacts were made," Taliban spokesman Zabihollah Mojahed said.
"We do not believe in holding secret talks without our mujahideen's knowledge... the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is not willing to negotiate with anybody before foreign troops have been removed from our soil."

The Taliban have been fighting Western troops since 2001

A similar denial was made in a statement by the Taliban released to the BBC in Karachi, which said that claims of secret talks were "futile and baseless propaganda".
The BBC's Bilal Sarwary in Kabul said that while it is undoubtedly true that the Taliban have held talks at various levels with the Afghan government over the last 18 months, the challenge for President Karzai is to build on those negotiations.
Our correspondent said that the Taliban is a disparate group and it is possible that there are disagreements within the movement itself as to whether negotiations are the best way forward.
More than 2,000 foreign troops have been killed in Afghanistan since the beginning of the conflict in 2001.
Thursday's deaths brought the number of foreign soldiers killed this year to 584, a number higher than the previous record of 521 in 2009.
Improvised explosive devices are the weapons of choice for the Taliban and other insurgents fighting the 152,000 foreign troops under US and Nato command in Afghanistan.
Meanwhile Nato defence and foreign ministers will meet later on Thursday at the alliance's headquarters in Brussels.
Correspondents say that they will deliberate on a draft of the "strategic concept" that will lay out the alliance's vision for the next decade.
The mission statement will then be endorsed by Nato leaders at a meeting in Lisbon next month. Read More...

Trapped 68 Days, First Chilean Miners Taste Freedom

SAN JOSÉ MINE, Chile — With a look of sturdy calm, the first of the 33 miners trapped nearly half a mile underground stepped out of a narrow rescue capsule and onto the surface at 12:11 a.m. on Wednesday, hugging his family, the nation’s president and the workers who helped free him before being carted away on a stretcher, giving a thumbs-up as he left.
The rescue had finally begun.
“I’m so overcome with emotion now, as if I’ve been touched by God,” said Alfonso Ávalos, shortly after his son, Florencio Ávalos, 31, became the first miner to emerge from below. “My boy is finally safe. My boy is finally safe.”
During their more than two months of confinement, the miners and their determination to survive have inspired this country and riveted the world.
Their endurance has begun to pay off. Less than an hour before midnight on Tuesday, a rescue worker stepped into the capsule — named the Phoenix — painted with the red, white and blue of the Chilean flag. A mesh door was closed behind him. Then he descended toward the 33 miners trapped below, as President Sebastián Piñera, who has staked his presidency on rescuing the miners, watched him slowly disappear into the darkness to retrieve them.
The race to save the miners has thrust Chile into a spotlight it has often sought but rarely experienced. While lauded for its economic management and austerity, the nation has often found the world’s attention trained more on its human rights violations and natural disasters than on uplifting moments.
But the perseverance of the miners, trapped so far underground in a lightless, dank space, has transfixed the globe with a universal story of human struggle and the enormously complex operation to rescue them.
It has involved untold millions of dollars, specialists from NASA and drilling experts from a dozen or so countries. Some here at the mine have compared the rescue effort to the Apollo 13 space mission, for the emotional tension it has caused and the expectation of a collective sigh of relief at the end.
“We hope that with the help of God this epic will end in a happy way,” Mr. Piñera said before the rescue began.

The second miner to reach the surface, Mario Sepúlveda, was exuberant as he left the capsule, hugging family members and officials. He embraced Mr. Piñera three times and presented people with gifts: rocks from the mine. Then he led the crowd in a cheer. “Chi, Chi, Chi, le, le, le,” they shouted. “Miners of Chile.”
It had been a day of great excitement and last-minute delays. The families of the miners and more than 1,300 journalists gathered around plasma televisions set up at Camp Hope, the makeshift tent city that vibrated with a carnival-like atmosphere as the rescue drew near. At one point, Mr. Piñera mingled with the families and even broke into song with them.
“The day has finally arrived,” said Marta Mesías, 51, the aunt of one miner, Claudio Yáñez, 34. “We’re going to toast him with champagne, and feed him a bit of roasted chicken.”
The operation is expected to take one to two days, with Luis Urzúa, 54, the shift leader who organized the miners’ lives in the mine, the last to come up.
“This is a marvelous start,” said Rodrigo Pedreros, 34, a fireman watching at the mine. “I’m praying it all goes well.”
Despite high expectations, officials here warned that the operation was still in a very precarious phase. The rescue hole is barely wider than the capsule that will ride inside it, shuttling the men about 2,000 feet to the surface, one at a time. Complicating matters, the hole is not even straight, raising fears that the capsule could snag on the long trip.
The decision by Mr. Piñera, Chile’s first right-wing leader in 20 years, to make such an unbridled push to rescue the miners was an extraordinary political calculation. But it has paid big dividends, bolstering his popularity at home and propelling him onto an international stage often dominated by other large personalities in the region.
After a cave-in trapped the miners on Aug. 5, their fate was uncertain, at best. Advisers to Mr. Piñera counseled him not to raise expectations that they could be found alive. Laurence Golborne, the mining minister, said publicly that their chances of having survived were slim, comments that bothered many Chileans.
But Mr. Piñera, who was in Ecuador when the news came of the lost miners, argued differently. “I had a strong conviction, very deep inside of me, that they were alive, and that was a strong support for my actions,” he said in an interview in late August.
He set in motion an intense rescue effort, sparing no expense. Workers drilled a skinny borehole, and on Aug. 22 a drilling hammer came up with red paint. Wrapped around it with rubber bands were two notes: a love letter from Mario Gómez, the oldest miner of the group, to his wife, and another in red ink. “We are well in the refuge the 33,” it read. 
Suddenly the name of the makeshift vigil at the mine — Camp Hope — took on new meaning. Mr. Piñera flew here right after his father-in-law’s wake to celebrate with the miners’ families.
But the Chileans were in uncharted territory. To their knowledge, no one had tried a rescue so far underground. Keeping the miners alive and in good spirits, much less getting them out, would be an enormous challenge.
Doctors from NASA and Chilean Navy officers with experience in submarines were consulted on the strains of prolonged confinement. The miners had lost considerable weight and were living off emergency rations. Some, like Mr. Gómez, who had a lung condition, struggled with the high humidity in the mine.
Medical officials consulted frequently with the miners over a modified telephone dropped down through the skinny borehole. Slowly, they nursed the men back to health. Health Minister Jaime Mañalich enlisted Yonny Barrios, a miner who had once taken a first aid course, to administer vaccines and medicines, and to take blood and urine samples. All the medications traveled down through the plastic tubes sent through the boreholes.
The tubes, called “palomas” here, became the miners’ lifeline. Over the many weeks, officials on the surface used them to send letters from loved ones, food and liquids, even a small video projection system that the miners used to watch recorded movies and live soccer matches on a television feed that was piped down.
The miners were put on a diet to keep their weight down and worked with a trainer to keep fit with exercise. One miner, a fitness buff, ran about six miles a day through the winding shafts of the mine.
In recent weeks, Alejandro Pino, the regional manager of an insurance company for work-related accidents, has given the miners media training on how to speak and express themselves, even sending a rolled-up copy of his guidebook through the borehole.
“I tried to prepare them to handle journalists’ most intimate questions,” Mr. Pino said last week.
Alberto Iturra, a psychologist who worked with the miners, talked to them, sometimes several times a day, to sort through their frustrations and depression. After first sending down nicotine patches, officials later sent down cigarettes to the miners, most of whom were smokers, family members said. Still, Dr. Iturra said that doctors never ended up sending down medication for depression.
As doctors struggled to keep the miners healthy, engineers were hard at work digging a bigger hole through which the miners could be pulled to safety. Mr. Piñera was not satisfied with one option, so he set in motion three efforts to drill a successful rescue hole: Plans A, B and C.
Finally, last Saturday at 8:05 a.m., the Plan B drilling rig broke through to the exuberant miners.
Even as the miners themselves are mythologized here for surviving their subterranean captivity, others on the surface are benefiting. Mr. Golborne, a former chief executive of a retail store chain who has no political party affiliation, has become Chile’s most popular minister. He spends many evenings roaming Camp Hope in his red windbreaker, playing cards with miners’ families and kicking a ball around with children.
“Golborne is the new Bachelet,” said Marta Lagos, a political analyst in Santiago, referring to Michelle Bachelet, the popular former president. “He emerged into the public view out of nothing. This is a man that says he has no political ambition and is not interested in politics. Bachelet used to say the same thing.” Read More...

Currahee!!

Currahee, a Cherokee word meaning "We stand Alone Together" and also the name of a mountain.
which is the motto for an airborne parachutist infantry divisions American soldiers during World War II.
Currahee Mountain is a mountain located in Stephens County, Georgia near Toccoa. The name appears to be derived from the Cherokee word  meaning "stand alone." Technically a part of the Georgia Piedmont or "foothill" province, Currahee Mountain rises abruptly about 800 vertical feet (240 m) above the local topography and is the highest peak in Stephens County. Part of the mountain is in the Chattahoochee National Forest. On clear days, the peak's 1,735-foot (529 m) summit is visible for many miles and is a prominent landmark to the southeast of Georgia's Blue Ridge Mountain crest.

The mountain was made famous internationally by Tom Hanks's and Steven Spielberg's television miniseries Band of Brothers, in which it was featured as a training site of the American Paratroopers at Camp Toccoa,[3] Georgia where they ran up and down Currahee. The name of the mountain became the motto for these paratroopers including the famous quote: "3 Miles up, 3 Miles down". in this miniseries Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg tells of an airborne division who played an active role in war.
The 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment is a unit assigned to the 4th Brigade Combat Team (BCT) of the 101st Airborne Division. During World War II, the unit was designated the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment (506th PIR).
The 101st Airborne Division—the "Screaming Eagles"[1]—is a U.S. Army modular infantry division trained for air assault operations. During World War II, it was renowned for action during the Normandy landings and in the Battle of the Bulge. During the Vietnam War, the 101st Airborne Division was redesignated first an airmobile division, then later as an air assault division. For historical reasons and because the pathfinder unit and parachute rigger company are both still on jump status, it retains the "Airborne" tab identifier, yet does not conduct parachute operations at a division level. Many modern members of the 101st are graduates of the U.S. Army Air Assault School, and wear the Air Assault Badge, but it is not prerequisite for assignment to the division. The division's headquarters are at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, and has served in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is the only U.S. Army division with two aviation brigades. It is one of the most prestigious and decorated divisions in the U.S. Army.

 

World War II

(Gen. Eisenhower speaking with 1st Lt. Wallace C. Strobel and men of Company E, 502nd PIR on 5 June. The placard around Strobel's neck indicates he is the jumpmaster for chalk #23 of the 438th TCG.)

 

The division was activated on 15 August 1942 at Camp Claiborne, Louisiana. On 19 August 1942, its first commander, Major General William C. Lee, promised his new recruits that the 101^st had "no history but had a rendezvous with destiny."

In his first address to his soldiers the day the division was born, Lee read General Order Number 5 dated August 19, 1942:

The 101^st Airborne Division, which was activated on August 16, 1942, at Camp Claiborne, Louisiana, has no history, but it has a rendezvous with destiny.

Due to the nature of our armament, and the tactics in which we shall perfect ourselves, we shall be called upon to carry out operations of far-reaching military importance and we shall habitually go into action when the need is immediate and extreme.

Let me call your attention to the fact that our badge is the great American eagle. This is a fitting emblem for a division that will crush its enemies by falling upon them like a thunderbolt from the skies.

The history we shall make, the record of high achievement we hope to write in the annals of the American Army and the American people, depends wholly and completely on the men of this division. Each individual, each officer and each enlisted man, must therefore regard himself as a necessary part of a complex and powerful instrument for the overcoming of the enemies of the nation. Each, in his own job, must realize that he is not only a means, but an indispensable means for obtaining the goal of victory. It is, therefore, not too much to say that the future itself, in whose molding we expect to have our share, is in the hands of the soldiers of the 101^st Airborne Division.

For their efforts during World War II, the 101^st Airborne Division was awarded four campaign streamers and two Presidential Unit Citations. The division suffered 1,766 Killed In Action; 6,388 Wounded In Action; and 324 Died of Wounds during World War II.
