Conflict Alert tested by FAA controllers in Pomona
In a simulated FAA lab near Pomona a controller and a female pilot test a "conflict alert" system that flags potential midair collisions. The program, developed with two computer firms, projects two planes on a five mile proximity at similar altitudes and flashes warnings. FAA plans to install the system at 16 more centers after five near misses since November.

FDA Moves To Better Control Drug Research
Washington AP The FDA plans a program to improve quality control of manufacturer supplied research on new drugs to counter allegations of flawed data and possible falsification. Commissioner Alexander Schmidt cited errors and potential data falsification as concerns and said stricter oversight will be instituted. He noted actions such as the December withdrawal of Aspartame approval for Searle & Co and discussed upcoming labeling changes for birth control pills. The agency also weighs limited cyclamate use pending panel study results and continues efforts to ban DES due to cancer risk.
