“Man had been drinking before he drowned - Milwaukee Journal Sentinel” plus 4 more

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 14 September, 2009 : - - Dana Point -- This years SURFER Poll and Video Awards presented by American Suzuki and Ultimate Wave Tahiti will be webcast in its entirety exclusively at surferpoll.com beginning at 7 p.m. on Tues., Sept. 15, 2009. Viewers can catch all of the action LIVE the night of the event with exclusive behind-the-scenes moments and red-carpet interviews from co-hosts Matt Beacham and Jodie Nelson.

The annual awards event, often coined the Academy Awards of Surfing, honors the top 10 men and top five women as voted on by the public, as well as, the years best surf films and performances. Now in its 37th year, the night has become notorious not only for drawing the worlds greatest surfers from past and present to pay tribute to greatness, but for unexpected antics and shenanigans amongst surfings most elite.

In the past, the door to this elusive night has been closed to the public, but thanks to modern technology, a live webcast now brings it to the masses.

In 1963, the first SURFER Poll was established asking SURFER Magazine readers to participate in the process of determining the worlds best surfers. Although the awards show has grown and evolved over the years, it is that same democratic process that has continued to be the highlight of what makes the SURFER Poll unique and gives the public a chance to come together with a Collective Voice.

Because the event is kept small and therefore is by invitation only for surfers and the immediate industry, the same public that plays a role in determining the winners has finally had the opportunity to see inside the great night for the past few years courtesy of a live webcast from the event.

This years webcast promises to the biggest, best production yet and will truly give those watching from the comforts of their personal computers a distinctive viewpoint into the 2009 SURFER Poll and Video Awards. Viewers can log onto surferpoll.com for all of the live action, history and more.

Additionally, on Oct. 19, 2009 at 8 p.m. ET/PT, FUEL TV will once again air the SURFER Poll and Video Awards. Check local listings to confirm date and time.

Special thanks to the sponsors of the 2009 SURFER Poll and Video Awards: American Suzuki, Ultimate Wave Tahiti, Red Bull Surfing, Sponsorme.tv, Coors, New Era and FUEL TV. Additional thanks to the VIP table donors whose donations benefit this years charity SurfAid International.

Oshkosh Corp. lands another military vehicle contract - Biz Times

Posted: 14 Sep 2009 09:25 AM PDT

Published September 14, 2009 - BizTimes Daily

1 of 9 | Next

Oshkosh Defense, a division of Oshkosh Corp., announced today it has received an additional $189 million award from the U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command Life Cycle Management Command (TACOM LCMC) to deliver an additional 352 MRAP All Terrain Vehicles (M-ATV) to the U.S. Armed Forces by March 2010. The award also includes aftermarket parts packages.
This is the third award under the delivery order first awarded in June 2009. To date, TACOM LCMC has ordered a total of 4,296 M-ATVs from Oshkosh. The aggregate amount of the three awards is valued at $2.3 billion.
"Oshkosh is committed to meeting our customer's urgent need for this highly mobile vehicle and helping our Armed Forces serving in Afghanistan to better operate on the country's challenging terrain," said Robert Bohn, Oshkosh Corp.'s chairman and chief executive officer. "We have delivered more than 100 M-ATVs through August, meeting our planned delivery requirements, and we continue to increase vehicle output at our manufacturing facilities to remain on schedule and meet our customer's requirements."
Oshkosh expects to meet the government's accelerated delivery schedule without impacting its other programs, with production ramping up to 1,000 vehicles per month in December, and continuing at that level through the end of March 2010.
The Oshkosh M-ATV's superior mobility, which includes a 70 percent off-road profile capability, is achieved through the incorporation of the Oshkosh TAK-4 independent suspension system. The system is featured on more than 10,000 Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacements (MTVR) used by the U.S. Marine Corps and Navy Seabees, and is being retrofitted on more than 2,000 legacy MRAPs for improved mobility in Afghanistan.
