Don Hipple wasn't involved in one of the fieriest battles in the Pacific Campaign in World War II. He wasn't in the Marines and he didn't see thousands of men die during the battle of Iwo Jima.

Yet he still has a personal connection.

"That day was filled with selfless sacrifice," said Hipple, 73. "So many men gave their lives."

The Battle of Iwo Jima started on February 19, 1945, and was the first attack on Japanese soil. The 35-day battle claimed the lives of more than 21,000 Japanese soldiers and 26,000 allied forces.

On February 23, photographer Joe Rosenthal snapped the famous photo, "Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima," which depicts five Marines and a Navy corpsman erecting a flag at the top of Mount Suribachi. The photo is regarded as one of the most significant and recognized images of the war. It was also the inspiration in sculpting the USMC War Memorial in Washington, D.C.

"There's a lot to that picture and what it symbolizes," said Hipple, a retired sales representative. "It stands for victory and freedom."

Ten years after the battle, Hipple read an article in Life magazine and was intrigued by the stories of the men and the photographer. So he decided to write Rosenthal and ask for a signed copy of the famous photo.

"I didn't think I would get a response," said Hipple, who spent 9 1/2 years in the Army. "I figured he would be way too busy to do something like IWC Replica Watches that, but I thought I would give it a shot."

A few weeks later Hipple got an envelope in the mail. He opened it to find a freshly printed photo of "Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima" signed with a fountain pen. Rosenthal, who still had the original negative, made the print and sent it to Hipple. Today, the negative is in the Smithsonian Institution.

"I couldn't believe it," said Hipple, of Carolanne Farms. "I knew I had something worth keeping."

The photo sat in a box in Hipple's closet for many years. In 1966, Hipple got the picture out and framed it. Today it sits in his living room.

"Even though I wasn't there that day, I still feel a small connection with this photo," Hipple said. "(Rosenthal) took the time to send it to me and he was there and saw all the horror and sadness."

Hipple tried to contact Rosenthal a few years ago. However, the photographer was in poor health and was not attainable. He died in 2006.

"He had an assistant at the time he took the picture named Bill Hipple," Hipple said about Rosenthal. "He's of no relation to me, but it's just another way I feel even more connected to the event."

HILLSBOROUGH, Northern Ireland

A breakthrough deal Friday to save Northern Ireland's Catholic- Protestant government has given a new lease on life to an awkward partnership of former foes .

The prime ministers of Britain and Burberry Fake Handbags Ireland stood beside Irish Catholic leader Martin McGuinness and British Protestant leader Peter Robinson as they heralded a deal that was 2 1/2 years of argument - and 10 days and nights of exhausting negotiations - in the making.

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown told both men they had completed an unlikely journey from warlords to practical politicians, and in the process helped consign to history a four- decade conflict that left 3,700 dead.

"We are in a new, more mature age of politics in Northern Ireland," Brown said at a news conference alongside Robinson, a one- time Protestant militant, and McGuinness, former commander of Ulysse Nardin Watch Replica the outlawed Irish Republican Army.

McGuinness' Sinn Fein party had threatened to withdraw from power- sharing - shattering the central institution of Northern Ireland's 1998 peace accord - unless Robinson's Democratic Unionists stopped blocking plans to create a new Justice Department in Belfast that would oversee law and order in this long-divided society.

Friday's deal commits the Northern Ireland Assembly to elect a justice minister March 9 and Britain to transfer control of more than 20 criminal justice and law-enforcement agencies to Belfast on April 12.

Byline: TERRY MURDEN

MARK Hancock, the former chief executive of Scottish property firm Kilmartin Group, has launched Talisman Capital, backed by a number of wealthy investors.

Hancock left Kilmartin a year ago, well before the problems that led to it collapsing into administration and receivership recently.

He has been working on plans to capitalise on the opportunities created by the current weakness in the UK property market. He has set up Talisman Capital with Adam Kerr, with whom he established Amerdale, a privately-funded development and investment company in 2004.

Over the following three years, Amerdale built a GBP 100 million portfolio, spread across the UK, Germany and China. Hancock structured and completed the sale of the company in August 2007 to Kilmartin.

He previously held roles as a main board director at Teesland Group, as a senior fund manager for the Mercury property fund at Mercury Asset Management and as an investment surveyor for Strutt & Parker in London.

Kerr was investment officer for the GBP 1.3 billion Merrill Lynch property fund at Merrill Lynch Investment Managers and was a director of Melford Securities. He was the founding Partner for Knight Frank & Christian Dior Replica Watches Rutley's office in Francistown, Botswana, and an Seiko Watches investment surveyor for Healey & Baker in London.

Hancock and Kerr have been joined by another former Kilmartin executive, Frank Gillespie, who was development director. He and Stephen McBride, formerly of Teesland, join as executive directors.

David Hood, who has invested in commercial property through Amerdale since 2005, becomes non-executive chairman. In 1982 he founded Pace Micro Technology, now the world's third-largest set-top box company with more than 1,000 employees and a market capitalisation of over GBP 650m.

Chris Jolly, who retired from Merrill Lynch early in 2009, where he was responsible for the bank's property investment banking team in the UK, completes the team as a non-executive director.

CHINA International Investment Consortium (CIIC) led by China Infraglobe is mulling setting up an integrated mineral processing plant in Johor, estimated to cost US$3.5 billion (RM11.8 billion), to process minerals from their operations in Indonesia.

According to Global Rail Sdn Bhd, the local railway representative for China Infraglobe, the minerals include iron ore, copper, gold and bauxite.

Global Rail's managing director Fan Boon Heng said China Infraglobe is ready to build the processing plant but it wants a proper railway and logistics infrastructure in place for its business plans here.

Fan said if the government decides not to go ahead with the railway infrastructure proposed by CIIC, then the consortium will develop the network in Sumatra and link it up to Ban Pak Bara Port in Thailand, to ship the minerals to China.

He said a copy of the railway proposal has been submitted to the Iskandar Regional Development Authority, the Ministry of Finance, Economic Planning Unit and the Johor State Government.

Global Rail had in June completed a detailed economic development and investment study for the Chinese group to ascertain if Malaysia can economically sustain major logistics and processing facilities to handle the mineral and energy resources transshipped from Sumatra and Kalimantan, destined for China.

Fan said from the study, it was concluded that the existing infrastructure will not be able to cater to China Infraglobe's plan due to the sheer volume of products and demand.

Fan told Business Times CIIC will use its own energy resources to generate power for the plant and for its proposed railway development in Malaysia.

Global Rail had in October submitted a proposal on behalf of CIIC to the government, expressing its intention to build a high speed railway to link certain regional ports in Malaysia with their regional logistics centres, to the rapid speed standard gauge railway in Thailand, starting from Johor's Iskandar Malaysia.

The ultimate cost of the project is estimated at RM28 billion and the consortium will finance the development using funds from China.

China has budgeted US$150 billion (RM507 billion) for it's extra- jurisdictional investment in Asean to secure mineral and energy resources and investment in downstream processing and logistics facilities.

Fan said funds have already been made available for these major investments in Indonesia, Thailand and Laos under a comprehensive development programme called Pax Byzantium-Pearl Port.
