Scherr Technology would like to welcome the Intrepid, CVN-11 back to her home at Pier 86 for the first time in nearly two years.  After an extensive overhaul of both the ship and her pier, the Intrepid has returned as one of New York’s premier attractions.  The overhaul which will cost more than $100 million, will feature a rebuilt pier, new exhibits and previously inaccessible areas like the focsle. Photos by Brian C. Scherr.

“The ship, 900 feet long, glided back into its old parking space parallel to Pier 86, off West 46th Street, just after 2 p.m., filling the void it had left. A digital countdown clock atop the pier flashed “Today!” in red capital letters at the crowd that had gathered along the West Side Highway and the neighboring Pier 84.” Floating Proudly, a Warship Returns to Its Mission, PATRICK McGEEHAN - Published: October 2, 2008 newyorktimes.com

“After almost two years away, the ship is returning to Pier 86 in the Hudson River Park, which was rebuilt to accommodate the floating museum, the submarine and the retired Concorde supersonic jet. The museum is scheduled to reopen to the public on Nov. 8, with a ceremony to follow on Veterans Day, Nov. 11.” The Return of the Intrepid, PATRICK McGEEHAN - Published: October 2, 2008 newyorktimes.com

In the shadow of the Olympics and the 7th anniversary of 9-11, the US National Security Agency and Communist China are jointly proposing a new set of technical standards that threaten to end net neutrality once and for all.  According to a report, the UN’s International Telecommunication Union will be meeting in closed door sessions to discuss adopting the IP Traceback drafting group, named Q6/17.  If adopted, these measures would remove all anonymity from the web and they appear designed to allow a government to control the Internet-based free speech of their populations.” U.N. agency eyes curbs on Internet anonymity, cnet news

“Critics point out the newfound powers that would strip users of their anonymous identities could be misused, and in many cases violate an individual’s human rights that are protected by law particularly in the United States and internationally by the Council of Europe.

A document submitted by China and obtained by CNET News proposes to log essential information about the originator to ensure traceability. Another reportedly leaked document would give government reign over free speech, allowing it to quash their opposition and violating the UN‘s Universal Declaration of Human Rights, though at least one member of Q6/17 does not recognize the political document as being part of any Q6/17 meetings.” Internet anonymity endangered by UN agency project, macnn/electronista

In lieu of these and other recent disturbing trends, one can’t help but fear that our trade with China is indeed more two-way than the financials portend.  The Chinese seem to be getting our technology, manufacturing, jobs and know-how and in turn, our NSA and assorted security agencies are embracing the more effective tactics of a totalitarian régime.  China has a true bounty to offer in its wisdom, rich heritage and people.  It is sad that while trading our best we choose to take their worst.
