 Army Staff Sgt. Aeyne Anne M. Dizicksa's cats are her family, so their welfare was her top priority when she faced deployment:
"I knew that if I had them to return to, everything else was irrelevant — just another passing episode in my life."
She was given only a few days' notice before her activation in January 2005. Luckily she discovered Operation Noble Foster, which has provided more than 3,000 deployed servicemembers with individual foster homes for their cats until they return. . .
(Sweet Magnolia rests on the dryer in the home of Susan Hagrelius, her foster owner of more than a year. The 8-year-old cat will soon reunite with her owner, Staff Sgt. Aeyne Anne M. Dizicksa, a deployed Army reservist in the 719th Veterinary Medical Detachment who will return later this month.)

The number-crunching power of all those PCs working together is the equivalent of one supercomputer. If the research team can increase that number tenfold, major scientific breakthroughs are possible. . . |
