Sanaria Inc. published the phase I trial study last week in collaboration with Center for Vaccine Development at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, the U.S. Military Malaria Vaccine Program at the Naval Medical Research Center and the Vaccine Research Center at the National Institutes of Health.
COLUMBIA - University of South Carolina professors and students are trying to make military helicopters safer to fly and cheaper to maintain. Since 1999, the school has received about $5 million in military contracts for research on a computer system that measures the vibrations of helicopters' rotating parts. A vibration could indicate a part needs to be replaced or repaired before it fails in flight.
WASHINGTON - U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors were anxious to learn if the military-run physics research center on the edge of Tehran was part of the uranium enrichment program that Iran had admitted hiding for 18 years. But wrecking crews got in first.
Congress' proposed compromise to increase the nation's borrowing authority and slash spending by trillions would cut military spending by about $350 billion over the next 10 years, and contains provisions for much steeper cuts if a joint congressional committee fails to reach agreement on specific cuts. If approved by the Senate today, the legislation will add urgency to spending-cut scenarios that the Air Force and other services are contemplating and could have significant impact on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, a major acquisition, logistics and research hub that is also a center for training future military leaders and aerospace medicine professionals, observers said Monday.
The problem al Qaeda is having in making use of potential Western recruits is evident in the latest edition of its online English- language magazine, which calls on would-be U.S. terrorists to carry out "lone wolf" attacks in the United States instead of traveling abroad to join extremist groups. It's a sign that their infrastructure is under pressure," said Brian Fishman, a research fellow at the Combating Terrorism Center at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y.
VIENNA, Austria - The U.N. nuclear watchdog agency is pushing for a fresh look at an Iranian military complex linked by the United States to possible atomic arms research just days after being granted limited access, diplomats said Tuesday.

First, U.S. intelligence agencies have reversed their preposterous 2007 National Intelligence Estimate, the one that claimed with "high confidence" that Tehran had "halted its nuclear weapons program." No one (other than the Iranian rulers and their agents) denies that the regime is rushing headlong to build a large nuclear arsenal. *Fox News, September 2009: Asked "Do you support or oppose the United States taking military action to keep Iran from getting nuclear weapons?" 61 percent of 900 registered voters supported military action and 28 opposed it. *Pew Research Center, October 2009: Asked which is more important, "To prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, even if it means taking military action" or "To avoid a military conflict with Iran, even if it means they may develop n...
While the mainstream political parties competed in the presidential election, the EZLN attempted to create a social infrastructure among "the always forgotten: women, indigenous people, youth, and otros amores (gays and lesbians)," with the goal of sparking a "peaceful, civic, nationwide insurrection" that would push toward establishing a new Mexican constitution.
