Captain Duchossois, B COTipany's Commander, cocr.iented on tho attack as follows: . '-./, '.. "At 0730, the foot troops fought for tiia lino of departure to capture tvro pillboxes which could not be fired upon by t)io tank destroyers or tan!:3, and could not be by-passed because of the limited routes of approach. ' "After tho capture of thoso pillboxes, tho tank destroyers and tanks movod.out, ono ^platoon of tank dostroyors and one platoon of tanks supporting, each of tho two assault companies. • "7.'o movod across tho lino of departure as a tank dostroyor, tank, infan• try tccja — infantry, a tank, and a tanl: destroyer followed by more infantry, another tank, and tank dostroyor. T7c used this formation bocauso of tho poor . visibility, tho limited routes of approach and uncertainty of the dofinito loca• tion of all fortifications. "The infantry advanced um;il they v/ora hold up by a fortification. V.'hon this'happened, tho tankers 'olosod-up' tho npc/turo v/ith machino gun fire followed by tho tank destroyers firing sevjral rounds of 90mn. "Usually the Jorri9S v/ould put some v.'hito article out of the ombrasuro, • but thoy v/ould not cono out' to surr-Tider until tho infantry moved in and brought thon out. ' •• • "TTe did not have to destroy tho fortification to make tho Jerries surron^ d;ir. It v;as only necessary to sho-.v thin that unloss thoy did, thoy would all \)0 killed. • . "Tfa used this procedure on all the pillboxes in tho tovm, and by 1730 thb town was taken and thoro v;aro only a fev,- Jerries still holding out., • "During .the entire attack, foot roconnaissanoo v:as made difficult by hor.vy onomy small arms and artillery fire. Although tho gun ooimandors could not , always loavo the tank destroyer, they all had a jood idea of v.'hat tho town looked liko, v;hore to e:icounter nost of tho fortificatiorj, and what routes should bo uaod This knowlodg..! was made possible through a study of a drav.dng of the tovm, and f. thorough briefing by tho platoon leader. ' • "V,fo found thL.t vra had to keep a tank destroyer right behind the lead tank booauso our routes of approach were such that unless a tank destroyer \;as up thoro inicially, it would bo impossible for other tarn: d.;stroyers to pass tho tanks in order co fire oii the pillbox. As a result, th'- loading tank destroyer and tank did the majority of the firing. "It is absolutely necessary to have ocrr-.ur.ic at ions v.-ith not only tho in- ,fantry, tut tho tankers also.

    Navy DDG-51 and DDG-1000 Destroyer Programs: Background and Issues for Congress Ronald O'Rourke Specialist in Naval Affairs February 3, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL32109 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Navy DDG-51 and DDG-1000 Destroyer Programs: Background and Issues for Congress Summary Procurement of Arleigh Burke (DDG-51) class Aegis destroyers resumed in FY2010 after a four- year hiatus. Congress funded the procurement of one DDG-51 in FY2010, two in FY2011, and one more in FY2012. The Navy’s FY2012 budget submission calls for procuring seven more in FY2013-FY2016. DDG-51s to be procured through FY2015 are to be of the current Flight IIA design. The Navy wants to begin procuring a new version of the DDG-51 design, called the Flight III design, starting in FY2016. The Flight III design is to feature a new and more capable radar called the Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR). The Navy began preliminary design work on the Flight III DDG-51 in FY2012. The Navy wants to use a multiyear procurement (MYP) contract for DDG- 51s to be procured from FY2013 through FY2017. The Navy’s proposed FY2012 budget requested $1,980.7 million in procurement funding for the DDG-51 planned for procurement in FY2012. This funding, together with $48.0 million in advance procurement funding provided in FY2011, would complete the ship’s total estimated procurement cost of $2,028.7 million. The Navy’s proposed FY2012 budget also requested $100.7 million in advance procurement funding for two DDG-51s planned for procurement in FY2013, $453.7 million in procurement funding to help complete procurement costs for the three Zumwalt (DDG-1000) class destroyers that were procured in FY2007 and FY2009, and $166.6 million in research and development funding for the AMDR.

Darcy Lewis sat in the driver’s seatReview of an old van full of expensive scientic equipment. She was a college student working with scientist Jane Foster. Another scientist, ForDr. Erik Selvig, sat in the passenger seat. In the back of the van, Jane- opened the roof and climbed onto it. Selvig followed her, and they looked up into the darkness. “So what exactly are we looking for?” Selvig asked. He was a friend of Jane’s father and knew her well. “Why did you ask me to join you here in New Mexico?” “I told youSample. Something strange is happening in the night sky and I need your help,” Jane replied. “It’s a little dierent each time. Once it was a pool of stars in a corner of the sky. But last week it was a rainbow—” A noise from her computer stopped her. “Wait for it!” she said excitedly. Nothing happened. The sky above them stayed calm and black. Darcy put her head out of the window and looked up at Jane. “Can I turn on the radio?” she asked. She sounded bored. “No!” Jane replied angrily. She and Selvig climbed back inside the van. “I don’t understand,” she said. She opened a small book and looked at her notes. She always carried this notebook—inside it was her life’s work.

  • Childhood Idols, Shifting from Superheroes to Public Health Heroes
    Journal of Public Health Advance Access published February 16, 2015 Journal of Public Health | pp. 1–5 | doi:10.1093/pubmed/fdv013 Childhood idols, shifting from superheroes to public health heroes Brandon Brown1, Melissa Nasiruddin2, Alejandra Cabral1, Melissa Soohoo1 1Program in Public Health, University of California, Irvine, CA 92697-3957, USA 2Midwestern University College of Osteopathic Medicine, Glendale, AZ, USA Address correspondence to Brandon Brown, E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT It is early Saturday morning: a day for heroes. Bogged down with various costumes, capes and action figures, young Nikoli bounds downstairs to catch reruns of Teen Titans. He puts his newly acquired reading skills to work, studying comic books and recreating the adventures therein. Nikoli imagines himself as the hero in his comics, defeating villains and saving victims, imitating the poses and catchphrases in the mirror. Although children like Nikoli will never gain super strength or the ability to fly, the superheroes they emulate in play are examples of people they can aspire to be. They don’t even have to be fictional heroes—if we widen the scope of children’s superheroes to include those that address real-life issues, or even real-life heroes who have made breakthroughs in fields such as public health, the impact could be tremendous. Imagine a world where Superman is mentioned in the same breath as Ignaz Semmelweis, the man who revolutionized sanitation in health care by demonstrating that hand washing prevents the spread of infection. Children who idolize the champions of health care could someday grow up to be heroes themselves, fighting epidemics and saving lives through education, treatment and research.

  • THOR Written by Ashley Miller, Zack Stentz, & Don Payne
    THOR Written by Ashley Miller, Zack Stentz, & Don Payne FADE IN: On the blackness of SPACE, beautiful and mysterious, strewn with a billion stars. Atop a building, a wrought-iron sign -- a HAMMER-WIELDING BLACKSMITH -- spins listlessly in the wind as a swirling breeze kicks up. A hint of what's to come. 1 EXT. PUENTE ANTIGUO, NEW MEXICO - NIGHT 1 1 A main street extends before us in this one-horse town, set amid endless flat, arid scrubland. A large SUV slowly moves down the street and heads out of town. 2 EXT. SUV - NIGHT 2 2 The SUV sits parked in the desert. Suddenly, the roof panels of the SUV FOLD OPEN. The underside of the panels house a variety of hand-built ASTRONOMICAL DEVICES, which now point at the sky. JANE FOSTER (late 20's) pops her head through the roof. She positions a MAGNETOMETER, so its monitor calibrates with the constellations above. It appears to be cobbled together from spare parts of other devices. JANE Hurry! We hear a loud BANG followed by muffled CURSING from below. Jane offers a hand down to ERIK SELVIG (60) who emerges as well, rubbing his head. JANE (CONT'D) Oh-- watch your head. SELVIG Thanks. So what's this "anomaly"¬ù of yours supposed to look like? JANE It's a little different each time. Once it looked like, I don't know, melted stars, pooling in a corner of the sky. But last week it was a rolling rainbow ribbon-- SELVIG (GENTLY TEASING) "Racing "Àúround Orion?"¬ù I've always said you should have been a poet.
