A Navy official has ordered a former high-ranking midshipman, who resigned from the U.S. Naval Academy amid accusations of homosexual activity, to repay $67,000 for his education, even though a review board said he was being treated unfairly.The academy began investigating Tommie Lee Watkins Jr. in 1997 when a midshipman told officials that the class president had made advances to him and other midshipmen.

According to the Post,the Board for Correction of Naval Records said Becraft s order violates a 1994 Pentagon policy that says those discharged for being gay should only be required to repay the government under certain circumstances that require a specific written finding of homosexual misconduct. There was no finding of any aggravated homosexual behavior, said the board recommendation, issued in November. Accordingly, the board believes that directing recovery was inappropriate in Watkins ca Bpzu Beyonc茅: Drunk In Love
What you ;re looking at is a 3D visualization of a fly thorax in action. The 3D animat
stanley website ion, which was put together using data pulled from a particle accelerator, offers a glimpse into the inner workings of one of nature most complex mechanisms. So why a particle accelerator It allowed researchers from the Imperial College London, University of Oxford, and the Paul Scherrer Institute to record high-speed X-ray images of the blowflies in flight. These images were then used to reconstruct high-resolution three-dimensional tomograms of their flight motor at ten different stages of the wingbeat. The resulting visualization shows the various muscles and hinges required to power flight. In the video, the power muscles can be seen in yellow and red, and the tiny steering muscles are shown in green and blue. Interestingly, the steering muscles represent less than 3% of the fly total flight muscle mass. Accordingly, the researchers were keen to understand how these parts were capable of controlling the output of the much larger power muscles. The answer has to do with deformations of the muscles and thorax. By shifting the flight motor between different modes of oscillation, the fly is able to divert mechanical energy into a steering muscle that specialized to absorb this energy. Insights like these will eventually allow engineers to develop life-lik
