The idea- again, this is from memory- was to show that emergency medical personnel should work just as fast to ensure and stabilize respiration as they do to treat the site of the head injury itself. [...] this particular research was drawing protests because- get this- the doctor's method involved repeatedly shooting cats in the head with BB pellets. In the most recent military funding bill, he had inserted language suspending that project's grant until the research could be scientifically peer-reviewed. [...] CAMBON'S INFORMATION proved accurate.
The advances in the development of "invisibility cloaks" continues with researchers claiming that we are within five years of perfecting a cloak which will make objects disappear. Two separate research groups have published technical blueprints for the creation of "metamaterials" that can change how light travels around an object in order to create the illusion that the object simply is not there. "All light or other electromagnetic waves are swept around the area, guided by the metamaterial to emerge on the other side as if they had passed through an empty volume of space," said Professor David Smith of Duke University. Not surprisingly, Smith's research has received funding from the U.S. military, which hopes to use the technology to cloak military hardware in strategic locations. Acc...
BAR HARBOR - Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory has plans to expand its research into how some animals can regenerate limbs, and is expected to receive $1.6 million from the Department of Defense to fund its efforts. Finding out why adults of some vertebrate species can regrow limbs might lead to scientific breakthroughs that one day could enable humans to regrow limbs, according to MDI Bio Lab officials. The Defense Department is interested in funding such research because of the relatively significant number of people in military service who lose limbs through the course of their duties, they said Tuesday.
If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. So it is with the Bush administration's $2.9 trillion budget request to fund federal operations in 2008. The White House promises to balance the budget in five years, dramatically increase funding for national parks, boost research into alternative fuels, expand military ground forces and pay for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan -- all without raising taxes. The bipartisan, nonprofit Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB), which promotes fiscal discipline, applauded the inclusion of war costs in the 2008 budget request, a first since the war began. But William Frenzel, a former congressman from Minnesota and now co-chairman of CRFB, says comprehensive tax reform is necessary to address long-term budget shortfalls. With baby b...
BEAVERCREEK -- The signs of a new building being finished were all around Monday, June 1, as defense contractor Alliant Techsystems Inc. showed off its expanded Beavercreek production facility to elected officials and other guests. The $14.5 million building, in Miami Valley Research Park along U.S. 35, is testament to the lure of federal military funding flowing to defense contracting companies near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Alliant Techsystems, known as ATK, has facilities nationwide and sells the government everything from bullets to space shuttle propulsion systems to antenna components.

FAIRBORN -- Science, technology and mathematics education, along with internship opportunities for college students at military installations, should remain government funding priorities to keep the pipeline of fresh research talent filled, U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown was told Thursday, Feb. 19. Brown, D-Ohio, visited Wright State University to meet with academic and business leaders for a roundtable discussion of aerospace issues and prospects. Regional leaders have done an effective job of using Wright-Patterson Air Force Base's research and acquisition operations as an economic springboard, Brown said.

Supporters of these priorities insist that this vast military outlay is necessary in todayâeuro(TM)s dangerous world. But is it? After all, U.S. military spending is nearly equivalent to the military spending of all other nations combined. The runner-up to the United States in military spending is China, which spends about one-sixth the amount the U.S. government lavishes on its military. Indeed, there is an almost total mismatch between the legitimate security needs of the United States and the enormously expensive Cold War-style weapons systems that the Pentagon, working hand in glove with defense contractors, insists upon purchasing. Nor is it at all clear why the United States, unlike other nations, needs an estimated 700 to 1,000 overseas military bases. Fed up with this situation,...
