We report a high-resolution (R=3000-4000) spectroscopic observation of the DA white dwarf G191-B2B in the extreme ultraviolet band 220− 245 Å. A lowdensity ionised He component is clearly present along the line-of-sight, which if completely interstellar implies a He ionisation fraction considerably higher than is typical of the local interstellar medium. However, some of this material may be as...

In this article we describe a new paradigm for “Total Force Fitness.” In an age of sustained confl ict, fi tness requires continuous performance, resilience, and recovery of the whole person, not just the physical body. Injury from these confl icts is physical and mental, social and spiritual. It impacts the service members, their families and communities, and the nation. It is now abundantly c...
