This Dead U.S. Navy Nuclear Attack Submarine Is a Legend for a Very Simple Reason
*Kyle Mizokami*
*Security, *
The tragdy of the USS Thresher.
What sank *Thresher*? The best available theory is the extensive use of
silver brazing on piping throughout the ship. An estimated three thousand
silver-brazed joints were present on the ship, and the theory goes that up
to four hundred of them had been improperly made. Experts believe that a
pipe carrying seawater experienced joint failure in the aft engine spaces,
shorting out one of the main electrical bus boards and causing a loss of
power.
In the United States Navy, submarines lost at sea are said to be on

Arabian Herbs Analyzed As Potential Cancer Treatments
Cancer is a leading cause of illness and death worldwide. In 2015, the
World Health Organisation (WHO) recorded 8.8 million cancer-related deaths
and nearly twice that are diagnosed each year. Since people are living
longer, cancer diagnoses is likely to continue to increase by about 70% for
at least the next two decades.
Given that more cancers are likely in the developing world, the search is
on for treatments that are simple and inexpensive to manufacture. The
answer may lie in herbal medicine. The problem, as always, is that while
there are numerous anecdotes about those, there... more »

The U.S. Army Had a Plan to Create the Ultimate Weapon: Floating Tanks
*Joseph Trevithick*

There was once a hope that heavy armored vehicles would spearhead

right up to the beach, fight alongside the infantry and quickly knock out
any forts or other big targets.*
Amphibious assaults are the domain of the U.S. Marines, not the Army. But

hitting the beach — including planning how to deploy entire divisions of
amphibious tanks.

“The Person You Used To Be Still Tells You What To Do”
*“The Person You Used To Be Still Tells You What To Do”*

"Once my friends and I reached legal bar-going age, I watched as we split

and the people who went to pubs to sit and drink and talk loudly. I hated
the clubs. The music was awful, thumping electronic noise. I think I made
about three attempts to have fun this way, and then I made a long-lasting
error in judgment. I made a conclusion about myself I wasn’t qualified to
make: dancing is not for me.

*University of Dallas Ranks No. 1 for Most Conservative Student Body*
The University of Dallas and Hillsdale College ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in a
survey aimed at determining which American colleges have the most
conservative student bodies.
The rankings were based on a survey, conducted by The Princeton Review, of
137,000 students attending the 382 schools. The survey asked this question:
"Politically, are you far-left, Democrat, non-partisan, Republican, or
far-right?"

This and that for your Tuesday reading.
- Noah Smith makes the case for the U.S. Democrats to emphasize
trust-busting as a means of restoring power to people rather than the
business lobby:
Big companies often argue that mergers will allow increased economies of
scale, whose efficiencies will more than cancel out any price rise from
increased market power. Corporate acquirers hire expensive consultants to
make that case to regulators -- the Chicago school means big money for
economists willing to theorize that bigger equals better. But that idea

Could a North Korean ICBM Test Trigger a Nuclear War Between Russia and America?
*Dave Majumdar*
*Security, Asia*
The answer is likely no--but questions remain.
If the United States decides to attempt to shoot down future North Korean intercontinental
ballistic missile (ICBM) tests using the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense
(GMD) system, it is likely that Russia’s early warning system will not
mistake the interceptors for a potential nuclear attack.
That does not address the question of if the United States genuinely has
the capability to intercept a North Korean ICBM—and many critics doubt that
it does. However, the chances are that such an attempt to shoot d... more »
