We (at A&M) really are well endowed by not just the facilities we have but the people we have.” Many NASA technologies have later found a wide range of everyday uses. Pillai said he hopes the advancements made to the technol ogy as a result of this research will benefit scientists and consumers alike. “There probably hasn’t been any research like this with regards to spacecraft parts before,” Braby said. “It’s a fairly unique com bination of agriculture and engineering.” Candidates Continued from page 1 Fire Continued from page 1 upgraded water and waste water management system, a classroom complex and a multi-structural burn com plex that will house inte rior fire training scenarios, Bunte said.

The fire school was also presented with a resolution from the Texas Senate in honor of its 75 years of service. “The support we receive from the Bryan-College Station community is great,” Bunte said. “The firefighters really enjoy coming here.” and chief administrative officeil the College of Agriculture Economics, New Mexico Agricul;] Experiment Station and NewMitj Cooperative Extension Service.

After two days of challenges to a president they ache to replace, delegates then will shout their way through a roll call of states, a step toward naming Kerry as their man to take on President Bush in November. The telegenic senator from North Carolina lays on his Southern charm in a prime-time speech Wednesday night that resurrects his contention that Bush has created “two Americas’’ — one for the rich and one for everyone else. Edwards’ speech follows two days in which some of the Democratic Party's best and bright est have praised Kerry with stories of his service in Vietnam while criticizing Bush's handling of the war in Iraq. Kerry planned a dramatic arrival Wednesday in Boston, riding a water taxi across the harbor. On Tuesday, he cited his qualifications to be commander in chief and asserted, “I will and I can fight a more effective war on terror than George Bush is." In her first big political speech, the can didate’s wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, sought to shield him from that accusation, saying his positions on the environment and other issues were just common sense. She took her own jabs at Bush, describing her husband as a fighter who earned three Purple Hearts “the old-fashioned way, by putting his life on the line for his country." Massachusetts Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, the aging liberal icon whom Republicans happily link to Kerry, noted the deaths in Iraq of more than 900 U.S. troops in what he called a "mis guided war" that has alienated allies. torate in entomology from Iowa University in 1971.
