Navy trains dolphins and sea lions for defense use
In San Diego the Navy hosts about 75 dolphins and 25 sea lions as part of a marine mammal program to detect mines and spot swimmers. Officials say the animals can work with cables and flashing signals to deter terrorists and support patrols including Kitsap-Bangor. Critics cite animal welfare and disease concerns.

Abstinence Programs Fail to Boost Sexual Restraint Says Study
A congressional ordered study by Mathematica Policy Research finds that students in four abstinence education programs did not delay sex nor reduce number of sexual partners compared with peers who did not participate. Follow ups show similar abstinence rates and ages of first sex around 14.9. Half in both groups remained abstinent by late adolescence. The report warns against expecting one dose to last through high school and notes policy implications for Title V funding and possible shift to comprehensive sex education.
