The Pentagon claimed success Monday in its push to have American universities sever ties with foreign entities deemed potential security threats. In August, the Defense Department ordered 30 private and state universities to review their ties with foreign institutions listed under Section 1286 of the fiscal 2019 National Defense Authorization Act, which seeks to restrict nations like China and Russia from gaining access to American research and technology. Failure to comply could have resulted in a cutoff of federal research funding. “All 30 universities have fully mitigated identified relationships with foreign entities of concern,” according to a DoD announcement on Monday. “Overall, the audits resulted in more than 80 termination-related actions across the 30 universities.”The Pentagon did not publicly list the 30 institutions but hailed seven of them on Monday for going “above and beyond” by “quickly terminating problematic relationships.” Those seven included: Oklahoma State University, The Pennsylvania State University, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, University of South Carolina, University of Southern California, University of Texas at Austin and Virginia Tech.“These academic institutions that went above and beyond deserve immense credit for setting the benchmark in domestic research security,” said Joseph Jewell, assistant secretary of defense for science…

The new We Knife Co. Tiercel is named after a falcon, and this is a case where the name lines up perfectly with the look of the piece. The Tiercel flaunts a talon-like wharnie blade made to pierce and slice. One cultivates such a rich vocabulary in covering knives. We didn’t know before today, for instance, that a “tiercel” is a kind of hawk or falcon, but now we do – and we can see how the team settled on that name with a single glance at this folder’s blade. It’s a 3.24-inch wharncliffe, opened via cutout or clipper tab, and it delivers the classic wharncliffe formula: a long straight edge, and a low but very acute point; no modifications to the time-tested pattern here. The color scheme on this one is unique The Tiercel is one of the small-but-growing subset of We Knife Co. models made from CPM MagnaCut steel. Historically the company has always favored M390, but in recent years we’ve seen them branch into other formulae, Larrin Thomas’s standard-setting recipe included. We envision the Tiercel as a day-to-day user, and these day-to-day users will get a lot of mileage out of MagnaCut. They’ll also get a lot…

The Defense Department has signed a framework agreement with BAE Systems to buy up to 25,000 Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System, or APKWS, guidance kits a year for as long as seven years, the department announced Monday. APKWS kits convert unguided 2.75-inch rockets into laser-guided munitions. All four services field them, and the weapon has become a cheaper alternative to air-to-air missiles for shooting down drones. Congress still has to approve and fund the buy, the department said. BAE said it will increase production while the two sides work out a multiyear contract. Neither side announced the deal’s cost. The framework also outlines a path to increase output to 35,000 kits a year for U.S. allies. The department said that added capacity will come online as partner nations formally request kits through the Foreign Military Sales program. “By securing multi-year demand, this agreement keeps production lines running at capacity, provides our forces with interceptor inventory, and flips the cost calculus in the taxpayer’s favor,” Michael Duffey, the Pentagon’s undersecretary for acquisition and sustainment, said in the announcement. BAE, which builds the kits in Hudson, New Hampshire, and Austin, Texas, said in February that it had delivered its 100,000th kit. The…

This was a wild weekend of football. Most of the chaos started with college football, but some of it carried over into the NFL. I wouldn’t say we had the same level of upsets or anything, but there are some interesting things going on in the league. The Browns are the leader in their division, which seems like the first time in years. The Colts fell apart and gave the Titans their first win. The Falcons made a game of it late, but the Bears prevailed and showed how good they can be with Caleb Williams under center. The Cardinals beat the Rams at home. The Chargers are potentially the worst team in football. The phrase “Any Given Sunday” rings true this year more than any other time I can remember.

A U.S. airman died from injuries sustained during a college football pre-game demonstration over the weekend.Tech. Sgt. Ian Patterson, a Tactical Air Control Party instructor assigned to the 6th Combat Training Squadron, Detachment 2, at Joint Base San Antonio, Texas, fell from the stadium’s rafters during a rappelling demonstration before a football game Saturday between the University of Texas at San Antonio and the U.S. Naval Academy.Videos taken by spectators at UTSA’s annual Salute to Armed Forces & Veterans game show Patterson wearing combat fatigues and rappelling down to midfield from the Alamodome’s rafters before falling onto the field at full speed, feet first. Subsequent videos show medical personnel assisting the airman on the field before he was transported to a local hospital.Representatives of UTSA and the Navy met with Alamodome management, local authorities, the American Conference Commissioner Tim Pernetti and a working group to discuss next steps, according to a UTSA statement. The groups decided to continue the game shortly after the incident to mitigate speculation about Patterson’s medical status and to avoid additional distress for his family. The conference also wanted to adhere to the military’s next-of-kin notification and identification process. Around 11:40 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, Nellis…
