NOTICE:   

NEW FUND RAISING PROJECT FOR THE CORAL BOT-"SWARM ROBOTICS" FOR THE REPAIR OF DISTRESSED CORAL REEFS.  http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/restoring-coral-reefs-with-robots  Please, all of you who pledged on Kick starter click on the link above and donate on indegogo. This time we have 60 days to raise less money than was actually raised on Kick Starter. The Bot still needs money beyond that but setting the fund raising efforts in smaller increments makes it is more likely that the funds will actually be delivered . The present 60 day $30,000 goal is easily achievable it is less than was actually pledged on Kick Starter

  PUT THIS BOT TO WORK! http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/restoring-coral-reefs-with-robots

Ocean Bots: Learn about, and hopefully contribute to the development of these diving robots intended to help repair the world's damaged coral reefs .Even though the KickStarter Project ended you can probably contribute directly. To learn more about the Coral Bot and its team of developers  or to contact them about donating click here:  http://www.coralbots.org/   

SWARM ROBOTICS,   A  " HIVE MIND" BENT ON THE COMMON GOOD, CORAL REEFS These are all terrible things to waste. 

WE STILL "BACK THE BOT" WE URGE YOU TO CONTRIBUTE AND WE'LL KEEP YOU POSTED ON PROGRESS RIGHT HERE. http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/restoring-coral-reefs-with-robots

NEWS OF NAMAZU THE EARTH SHAKER

NAMAZU, giant Japanese catfish former demigod, turned maritime analyst

Namazu is our senior maritime analyst and star commentator, many visitors check in just to see what the giant catfish has to say lately. When he has something new we post it in this space. Other wise his stuff is all over the blog postings, and an index to his posts is in the INDEX AND FINDING AIDS SECTION.. At the end of last Thursday's s second posting Namazu predicts the most probable year for the start of the China vs Japan, Philippines, and U.S. naval war over the islands of the China Seas. On Memorial Day  he retold the story of Sgt. Reckless the Marine corps horse, and non biped war heroine.
Today Namazu is hard at work doing the project he always dreamed of. We still can't afford that cube farm full of researchers dedicated to his self selected projects that he keeps asking for. But we gave him temporary command of every junior researcher available for his next project which will track the path from :minimal regulatory compliance to Operational excellence in ocean mineral exploration and production, with an insightful look at how present applicants for High Arctic drilling permits stack up on that long curve between "minimal regulatory compliance" and "Operational excellence"
