Medvedev: Russia must tap Arctic resources (AP)

Allen, the commandant of the service, said that within a few weeks the Polar Star will begin to undergo a $62 million, 2-1/2 year restoration and re-enter service in 2013. The ship, one of three polar-capable USCG icebreakers, has been deactivated since 2007.
