This research project addresses how I believe airpower should be employed in urban warfare to achieve operational and strategic results. I chose this topic because there is an apparent disconnection between how military planners and operators view urban combat and their aware-ness of airpower's unique and potentially decisive contributions in this environment. This disconnect could prove disastrous for military forces operating on urban terrai...

On 22 July 2004 the 9/11 Commission released its report on the events surrounding the attacks of 11 September 2001. The 9/11 Report renewed calls for reform of the intelligence community (IC), continuing a long series of intelligence reform efforts that began shortly after the National Security Act of 1947 laid the foundation of the modern IC. As reform proceeds and government officials consider further changes, three topics remain relevant: (...

More than six decades after Hiroshima and almost two since the end of the Cold War, the US nuclear weapons stockpile is undergoing an extensive and expensive life-extension program to ensure the continued safety, security, and reliability of the legacy weapons well into the future. The current stockpile does not meet post-Cold War national security challenges. Today's challenge is to sustain and modernize the US nuclear weapons infrastructure ...

After winning at Texas Holdem I decided to show Kate my good fortune and after buying a round of drinks, I headed for Kate's. This area of town wasn't the safest place to be walking at night, so I planned on hailing a cab, as soon as one came by. I had only gone five or six blocks, when a punk came out of an alley with a knife, and demanded my wallet. I laughed at him thinking he doesn't know what I have under my arm, and he was about to ge...

Without ignoring the mistakes of...

More than 4 billion incandescent light bulbs are in use in the United States. The basic technology in these bulbs has not changed substantially in the past 125 years, despite the fact that they convert less than 10% of their energy input into light. Improving light bulb performance can reduce overall U.S. energy use. About 20% of electricity consumed in the United States is used for lighting homes, offices, stores, factories, and outdoor space...

The SunShot Initiative was launched in February 2011 with the goal of making solar energy cost-competitive with conventional electricity generating technologies within the decade. Achieving this goal will require dramatic decreases in the cost structure of solar technologies, on the order of a 75% reduction, across all markets including residential, commercial and utility-scale deployments of solar. To do this most effectively, the SunShot Ini...

Autoantibodies that are directed against self antigens are called autoantibodies. Not all autoantibodies are harmful. Autoantibodies can be useful in the removal of cell debris during inflammation. Some autoantibodies may be the actual pathogenic agents of autoimmune disease, the secondary consequences of tissue damage, or the harmless footprints of an etiologic agent. In this book, the authors present current research in the detection, pathog...

The extent to which the federal and state governments regulate the death care industry -- funeral homes, cemeteries, crematories, pre-need funeral plans, and third party sales of funeral goods -- varies. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) continues to annually conduct undercover shopping at various funeral homes to test compliance with the Funeral Rule. This book discusses the need for further federal involvement in the death care industry and...
