The US Air Force’s Strategic Air Command with its bomber force symbolized the cornerstone of national strategic policy: deterrence against the growing nuclear arsenal of the Soviet Union. [1]

Strategic Air Command is a 1955 American film starring James Stewart and June Allyson, and directed by Anthony Mann. [2]

Welcome to Strategic-Air-Command.com, a website dedicated to preserving the heritage of the Strategic Air Command. [3]

It examines global power from its origins as Strategic Air Command built a fleet of bombers and tankers to meet the needs of the global nuclear-deterrent policy of the Cold War. [4]

Certainly the hardware and operations are an essential part of it, but the real story of SAC is the interplay of its men and their machines. [3]

SAC had numerous bases around the world by the late 1950s, in order to have bases as close to potential enemies, as well as numerous bases across the United States, to keep its aircraft as widely dispersed as possible. [5]

The Army Air Forces (AAF), within the U.S. Army, had become an almost autonomous military arm by the close of World War II. [1]

An offensive command of the U.S. Air Force created in March 1946 and located at Offutt AFB in Nebraska, intended to deter possible aggressors from attacking the United States. [5]

The general commanded SAC for nearly 10 years, and under his leadership and supervision, plans were laid for the development and integration of an intercontinental ballistic missile capability. [1]

The Strategic Air Command (SAC) was both a major command in the United States Air Force and a “specified command” in the United States Department of Defense. [6]

They flew many aircraft, had access to many weapons and were stationed at many bases. [3]

James Stewart plays a United States Air Force Reserve officer recalled to active duty to fly B-36 and B-47 nuclear bombers for the Strategic Air Command. [2]

As an aid in describing the Air Force Global Grid and how it can be integrated into present and future systems the MITRE Corporation Global Grid Project has undertaken studies of various projects/systems/platforms, as they would be impacted by the Global Grid. [4]

Demonstrations of classic military tactical procedures and excellent footage of vintage aircraft (like the rare B-36), combine here to give viewers a cold war primer on the Air Force’s defense capabilities, circa 1955. [7]

Air Force Secretary Stuart Symington chose to locate the Air Force’s crucial long-range atomic strike force at Offutt primarily because the base was centrally located on the North American continent, placing it well beyond the existing range of potentially hostile bombers or missiles. [1]

Al Gore showing a drawing of Manbearpig to the school. [1]

ManBearPig ranks 171,285 out of all 115,030 episodes (of all shows) on TV.com. [2]

Thanks to the Ex-Vice President AL Gore, Inventor of the Internet, we now have a website that helps spread awareness of Man Bear Pig. [3]

Al Gore visits South Park Elementary School and talks about the terrible ManBearPig, “half man, half bear, and half pig “, who roams the Earth and attacks humans for no reason at all. [1]

I’m talking of course about Man Bear Pig. [3]

Comedy Central, South Park and all related titles, logos and characters are trademarks of Comedy Partners. [4]

A fictional character created by Al Gore in an episode of southpark. [5]

He wishes us all to travel the country and help to end this threat that is Man Bear Pig. [3]

Afterwards, the boys’ basketball game is interrupted by another visit from Al Gore, who is disguised (poorly) as the ManBearPig and claims to be “trying to spread ManBearPig awareness” by handing out flyers and bumper stickers. [...] The boys meanwhile believe that Cartman, bloated with gold and jewels, is severely ill, and try to find a way out, carrying him. [1]

MBP doesn’t care who you are or what you’ve done, he simply wants to get you. [3]

Gore then breaks down on the phone, and Stan reluctantly agrees to go to a meeting, where Al Gore tells Stan and his friends that “MBP” is hiding in the Cave of the Winds. [1]

South Park fans have written a total of 69 reviews of ManBearPig. [2]

The boys are trapped in a cave and Cartman finds treasure. [4]

Now he has to figure out how to get out of the cave without the others knowing about it and he can keep it all for himself. [2]

Propofol is a short-acting intravenous nonbarbiturate sedative agent used for the induction of general anesthesia for adults and children, maintenance of general anesthesia, and sedation in medical contexts, such as intensive care unit (ICU) sedation for intubated, mechanically ventilated adults, and in procedures such as colonoscopies and endoscopies and dental surgery. [1]

- Propofol is an alkylphenol derivative (2,6 - diisopropylphenol). [...] In dogs, propofol produces rapid, yet smooth and excitement-free anesthesia induction (in 30-60 seconds) when given slowly IV. [2]

Anesthesia, general, adjunct-Propofol is indicated for the induction of general anesthesia in adults and in pediatric patients greater than 3 years of age. [3]

Propofol may be of particular usefulness for use in Greyhounds and in patients with preexisting cardiac dysrhythmias. [2]

Marketed as Lusedra, this new formulation might well have superior properties for use in humans such as being more readily injectable and perhaps without the pain at injection site that often occurs with the traditional form of the drug. [4]

When DIPRIVAN Injectable Emulsion is administered slowly over 3 to 5 minutes, most patients will be adequately sedated, and the peak drug effect can be achieved while minimizing undesirable cardiorespiratory effects occurring at high plasma levels. [5]

It has several mechanisms of action, both through potentiation of GABA-A receptor activity, thereby slowing the channel closing time, and also acting as a sodium channel blocker. [1]

A rapid bolus should not be used, as this will increase the likelihood of undesirable cardiorespiratory depression including hypotension, apnea, airway obstruction, and/or oxygen desaturation (See DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION). [5]

CYP1A2 Substrates: CYP1A2 Inhibitors (Moderate) may decrease the metabolism of CYP1A2 Substrates. [6]

Undesirable effects such as cardiorespiratory depression are likely to occur at higher blood concentrations which result from bolus dosing or rapid increases in the infusion rate. [...] Diprivan Injectable Emulsion is a single-use parenteral product which contains 0.005% disodium edetate to inhibit the rate of growth of microorganisms, for up to 12 hours, in the event of accidental extrinsic contamination. [5]

It is also indicated for maintenance of anesthesia utilizing balanced techniques with other appropriate agents such as opioids and inhalation anesthetics in adults and pediatric patients greater than 2 months of age. [3]

Yet in some studies, when patients receive propofol compared to inhalation agents for anesthesia, postoperative pain is less after propofol. [1]

Alternate sedative therapy should be considered for patients with escalating doses of vasopressors or inotropes, when cardiac failure occurs during high-dose propofol infusion, when metabolic acidosis is observed, or in whom lengthy and/or high-dose sedation is needed (Jacobi, 2002; Corbett, 2008).

Many Generation Xers know Alison Stewart from her days on MTV as a pioneer of the network’s critically acclaimed and influential “Choose or Lose” coverage of the 1992 and 1996 Presidential elections. [1]

Alison Stewart has been termed one of a new breed of rising young stars in broadcast journalism. [2]

Alison Stewart has been a correspondent for CBS News Sunday Morning since 1998. [3]

She subsequently joined ABC News as anchor of its daily early morning news program, “World News Now,” and was a contributor to “20/20 Downtown” and “Good Morning America.” [1]

While a student at Brown University, she was music director for WBRU Radio, the nation’s largest commercial college radio station, and anchored news for music station WHTZ Radio New York. [1]

Ironically for someone employed at a virtual arbiter of hepness, Stewart admits to being a self-confessed “nerd ” during her teenage years, overweight, bookish–the only African American female in her graduating class, and forever straightening her corkscrew hair. [2]

Alison Stewart (born July 4, 1966 in Glen Ridge, New Jersey) is an American radio and television journalist. [...] Stewart began her broadcasting career at Brown University, where she was the music director for the school’s radio station, WBRU. [5]

In 2007, she joined NPR as co-host of the morning news show The Bryant Park Project, which concluded broadcasting in July 2008. [1]

In 2003, Stewart switched networks once again, this time from ABC News to MSNBC where she was a daytime anchor and primary substitute host for Countdown with Keith Olbermann. [5]

In 2003, Stewart joined NBC News, where she most recently hosted the daily news program “The Most” on MSNBC, which looked at the day’s most important news on-air and online. [1]

In 1991, Stewart arrived at MTV News as a segment producer when she was hired by MTV News Director Linda Corradina. [5]

Yet fortunately for Stewart, in the early 1990s the once-moribund heavy-metal music outlet was seeking to diversify and modernize itself, and so began introducing feature stories and specials on current events geared toward viewers; these non-video segments eventually grew into a full-fledged news department. [2]

Stewart hosted MTV News Unfiltered, reported for Megadose (1995-96), MTV’s alternative health program, and produced for House of Style (1991-93). [3]
