The ceremony capped five days of special remembrance of the Argentine-born revolutionary in Bolivia, whose government ordered his execution on October 9, 1967, a day after he was wounded and captured in a firefight with a special CIA-trained unit of the Bolivian army.

| No angst over Turkey's air defense deal with Russia, says NATO chief Posted: 10 Oct 2017 04:25 AM PDT  By Robin Emmott CRAIOVA, Romania (Reuters) - NATO ally Turkey is not seeking to antagonize the U.S.-led alliance by purchasing Russian S-400 surface-to-air missiles and is in talks with France and Italy to buy similar weapons, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said. Ankara's decision to buy the Russian system has been seen in some Western capitals as a snub to the alliance, given tensions with Moscow over Ukraine and Syria, while the deal raised concern because the weapons cannot be integrated into NATO defense. "There hasn't been any request from Turkey to integrate the S-400 into NATO air defense system," Stoltenberg told Reuters in an interview on a Belgian military plane returning from Romania late on Monday.

| Stärke Revolution Speedster to offer the best of both worlds Posted: 09 Oct 2017 09:25 AM PDT  US automotive coachbuilder Stärke wants to re-box the Porsche Boxster as a visual homage to the iconic Porsche 356 Speedster -- just don't call the finished car a restomod. Instead, the Stärke Revolution Speedster, which is set to make its global debut on October 20 in Las Vegas, has been dubbed by its creators -- father and son team Wade E and Maxwell Morrison -- as a restobod. Because rather than take a 1950s Porsche and update its engine, suspension brakes and steering for the 21st century (and in doing so destroy its value on the collector car market), the company starts with a modern Porsche Boxster that it meticulously re-bodies and re-trims so that on initial inspection, it looks just like a classic Porsche.
