The Key Volunteer Network is an integral part of a Marine Corps unit family readiness program and is the primary communication link between the commanding officer and the unit families for the enhancement of mission readiness.
The Key Volunteer Network supports the spouses of the unit Marines by providing communication from the command, serving as a source for information and referral services and by helping foster a sense of community within the unit. Learn more
The full extent of the Hurricane Katrina disaster is starting to become clear. It hasn't been a pretty picture, and people are asking hard questions about what might have been done differently by government and local citizens.
One thing is sure: private charities and relief workers are on the scene in force. The American Red Cross, one of the nation's largest private relief services, has mobilized its largest-ever response to a national disaster. As people open their wallets to support these volunteers, we're opening the books to look at the 19th-century Swiss humanitarian who helped start the Red Cross itself.
"Today I ordered the Department of Defense to deploy additional active-duty forces to the region. Over the next 24 to 72 hours, more than 7,000 additional troops from the 82nd Airborne, from the 1st Calvary, the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force and the Second Marine Expeditionary Force, will arrive in the affected areas," Bush said.
Abstract
A challenge that stands before the security community is to better prepare management, system administrators, and users to respond appropriately to information security crises while simultaneously reducing the anxiety associated with them. One clear approach to achieving this goal is to use modeling and simulation for education, training, and testing. This paper will present the available range of modeling and simulation capabilities in Information Assurance. It will also establish some principles for extending these capabilities into the community. It will do this by establishing a case for utilizing more simulation in our discipline, reviewing past modeling & simulation efforts within information security, reviewing the traditional types of modeling and simulation methodologies, addressing capability and experiences in computer modeling within other areas such as telecomm and economics, and providing a framework for future computer based modeling and simulation efforts in Information security.
I WOKE UP this morning to find countless emails and IMs pouring into my accounts asking me about the IE 7 beta.
Some developers are expressing relief at seeing some of the bug fixes and improvements, but of course as I’ve been expressing all along, this is a process with which we have to be patient. Expecting full bug fixes and implementation in any beta software is ridiculous, as is expecting that WaSP / Microsoft Task Force can perform retroactive miracles. more »
A federal appeals court ruling in Boston last week on e-mail wiretapping is reverberating throughout the Internet community-and legal world-with a consensus emerging that there may be prosecutions in the future for what today is considered normal business practice by ISPs.
The First Circuit Court of Appeals, voting 5-2, ruled that an e-mail service provider that supposedly read e-mail, intended for customers only, could indeed be tried on federal criminal charges.
Sheikh Mohammed Ali Hassan al-Moayad was convicted on charges of conspiring to support the al-Qaeda network and Palestinian militant group Hamas.
At a meeting with two FBI informants in Germany, he was recorded promising to funnel more than $2m (£1.1m) to Hamas.
He was arrested by German police in January 2003 and extradited to the US.
For each of five counts, he received 15-year sentences, each to be served consecutively.
He was also fined $1.25m in a federal court in Brooklyn.resd more »
Isn't life a bitch? The world is going to end. You don't even have to be a religious fundamentalist to see that's true.
Some people collect postal stamps; Exit Mundi collects scenarios of what could go wrong with the world. Sure, our planet could get hit by an asteroid. But hey, that's nothing. Did you know we could all be munched away by hungry molecules? Or that our physicists could unintentionally wipe us all out while tinkering with particles? `Oops, sorry...'
Exit Mundi isn't in it for doom preaching, but strictly for fun. It's a fascinating thought: if that &*%#-comet didn't wipe out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, we wouldn't be here pondering about apocalypses and armageddons in the first place. The dinosaurs roamed our planet millions of years longer than we did. If it wasn't for the comet, they still would.
