Dokka stadion reåpnet for A-lagsspill
Innsendt Ikke langt unna 1000 tilskuere fant fram til gjenåpning av Dokka stadion og lokalderbyet 16. mai. Stemningen var upåklagelig og hjemmeseier var helt på sin plass, glimtvis med storspill. I pausa overrakte fotballgruppas leder Arne Edgar Rosenberg både blomster og honnør til «dugnadsgjengen» for sin innsats i å istandsette bane og anlegg.

Don’t Undermine the Navy
The U.S. Navy must reconsider the strategic uses of naval mines, its “least spectacular and most effective weapons.” Naval forces took a backseat to ground and air forces in the Middle East wars, but sea control has been the cornerstone of military success among great powers since the dawn of civilization. Command of the sea has two basic requirements: the ability of one’s own forces to move and act freely and the ability to deny free movement and action to the enemy.
The Imperative to Defend Minefields
Dr. Savitz is a senior engineer at the RAND Corporation. He has led numerous studies for the Navy and Coast Guard on subjects such as naval mine warfare, unmanned surface vehicles, and Arctic operations. He earned his bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Yale University and a master’s degree and PhD in the same field from the University of Pennsylvania. His recent book, The Fall of the Republic, is about a historical conspiracy in ancient Rome.
Mine Warfare Revival
It is easy to get enamored and distracted by the prospect of technology, automation, autonomy, and artificial intelligence. For some, the possibility of a mine warfare (MIW) revival is defined by autonomous and unmanned vehicles. Instead, MIW practitioners and tacticians should propose executable solutions for approval to reinvigorate the Navy mission area. Executable solutions do not have to be elaborate technical capabilities that require funding.
Naval Mine Warfare: The Times, They Are A-changing
“The times, they are a-changing.” That famous lines from Bob Dylan’s 1964 hit song symbolized a shift in the countercultural era. As surely as this became an anthem for millions who recognized the winds of change, naval mine warfare needs to heed the call. Mine warfare spans more than 200 hundred years of history, ever since the very first floating barrels of gun powder were used as offensive mines in 1777 during the Revolutionary War.

This is a format that is new to many companies; however, some of the most prominent opera houses, such as the Metropolitan Opera, have been using this format for years. And while the aim with this format is to maintain companies relevant in a challenging time, the aim should also be to not only retain audiences, but to expand them over the long haul.
Prep baseball: Pedersen repeats as All-Area Player of the Year
It seemed a curious word choice, but Duluth Marshall baseball coach Joe Wicklund says his immediate reaction after ace pitcher Ben Pedersen surrendered three runs in the first inning of a state-tournament quarterfinal vs. Glencoe-Silver Lake was one of excitement. “I was excited to see what he would do,” Wicklund said. What the senior did was allow just two more hits and strike out 11 over the ensuing five innings, a clutch bounce-back that allowed the Hilltoppers to rally past the Panthers.
