AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - A supercomputer at the University of Texas
in Austin is being used to help study swine flu and determine the
best use of the limited vaccine.
     
KXAN-TV reports the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
used information from the UT research group for the distribution
strategy of the vaccine.
     
Data produced by the supercomputer also shows that there could
be a third wave of the H1N1 virus in the spring.
     
The Texas Department of State Health Service, as of last week,
said the state had received nearly 1 million doses of the swine flu
vaccine.

The Corpus Christi City Council has voted to negotiate with the National Swim Center to replace the Coliseum. Do you agree?

  • Yes.
  • No. Just demolish the building.
  • No. Rennovate it and use as a public venue, as it has been.
  • I liked the Brass/Ice Skating Rink idea.
