since my [sic: investigative military scientific] research is pretty much ignored and also censored outside this forum,
i put it into DARK SIDE right away.

WASHINGTON - Bernard Kerik, President Bush's choice to run the Homeland Security Department, made $6.2 million by exercising stock options he received from a company that sold stun guns to the department — and seeks more business with it.
Taser International was one of many companies that received consulting advice from Kerik after he left his job as New York City police commissioner in 2001, when he was earning $150,500 a year. Kerik remains on Taser's board of directors, although the company and the White House said he planned to sever the relationship....
RAND Study: New York City Police Department Should Implement Pilot Program for Expanded Use of Conductive Energy DevicesSCOTTSDALE, Ariz., June 10, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- TASER International, Inc.
(Nasdaq:TASR), a market leader in advanced electronic control devices (ECDs),
today acknowledged the recommendations by the RAND Corporation for the New York
City Police Department (NYPD) to implement a pilot program for the expanded use
of conductive energy devices (CEDs). The findings and recommendations on
conductive energy devices are contained in a monograph prepared by the RAND
Corporation for the New York City Police Department and released yesterday
titled "Evaluation of the New York City Police Department Firearm Training and
Firearm-Discharge Review Process."
With regard to conductive energy devices, the RAND study concluded that
"(a)nalysis of the NYPD firearm-discharge cases and the experience of other
police departments suggests that, if the NYPD employed a more robust, less
lethal standoff weapon, it might not only prevent some incidents from escalating
to deadly force but also reduce injuries to officers and citizens alike, as it
has with other departments."
The RAND study also stated that "treating CEDs as only a substitute for deadly
force ... would endanger officers and negate the benefits that have been
demonstrated."
The overall recommendation regarding CEDs by RAND is for the NYPD to implement a
six- to twelve-month pilot program in which patrol officers in selected
precincts are trained and equipped with CEDs to determine the impact CED use
might have on the way in which NYPD officers apply force.
The report was conducted under the auspices of the RAND Center on Quality
Policing within the Safety and Justice Program of RAND Infrastructure, Safety,
and Environment (ISE). New York City Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly asked
the RAND Corporation in January 2007 "to examine the quality and completeness of
the NYPD's firearm-training program and identify potential improvements in the
design and delivery of the curriculum, the technology used, the frequency and
duration of training sessions, the tactics and procedures on which the training
is based, and the police department's firearm-discharge review process."
The RAND study includes a section titled, "Need for an Improved Less-Than-Lethal
Standoff Weapon" with several sections discussing in great detail the TASER®
Electronic Control Device otherwise referred to as the TASER Conducted Energy
Device in this report.
More information can be found on CEDs in the RAND study on pages 64-78 and on
pages 96-97 of the complete report which can be found at:

Ting proposed the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, a space-borne cosmic-ray detector. He has since been directing the work on what the New York Times has called "one of the most expensive scientific experiments ever built," with costs of US$1.5 billion as of 2007.[1]
