Smart Nation Act PDF for Web.Pdf Robert Steele deserves our admiration and our focused attention for bringing the idea of open source information to the fore. His passion to serve the nation by developing this new approach to better understanding the conditions and circumstances we are faced with daily - is exemplary.

Here is an illustration of where we think the world is going regardless of what the three branches of the Federal government decide to do or not do. This book puts forward ideas for creating a “Smart Nation” in which the Federal level is both fully informed about global reality, and able to provide to all statehouses, schoolhouses, chambers of commerce, and social clubs, a very strong and sustained exposure to global reality. OSINT Emerging Pentagon of Public Influence & Intelligence The American public now has the same power to do good that networked terrorists have to do bad. It will be up to Congress to decide whether or not to nurture this emerging pentagon of public influence & intelligence.

Our unit wrote the first handbook for Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) for the U.S. Army. In 1994, our unit was honored with the Golden Candle Award presented by Open Source Solutions in recognition of its “unusual dedication and persistence … in preparing a primer, Open Source Intelligence Resources for the Military Intelligence Officer, which is of value to all joint and coalition personnel.” The following year the Reserve Officers Association gave the 434th MID its “Outstanding USAR Small Unit Award” for 1995-1996, due in no small part because of its contributions to OSINT. In 1997 General Peter Schoomaker, USA then Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), was briefed on OSINT, understood its value, and ordered the creation of an OSINT support cell within the Special Operations Command Joint Intelligence Center (SOCJIC). Today that small unit, for a negligible amount of money, is responsible for satisfying 40% of the all-source intelligence requirements generated by all elements of USSOCOM. In 2000, General William F. Kernan, USA, then serving as both the ranking flag officer of the Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM) and as the Supreme Allied Commander, Atlantic (SACLANT), agreed to a suggestion by Brigadier General James Cox of Canada, then the Deputy J-2 at Supreme Headquarters, Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE), validated by General Kernan’s Deputy at the Atlantic Command, Admiral Sir James Perwone of the United Kingdom, and commissioned three study guides for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO): the NATO Open Source Intelligence Handbook, the NATO Open Source Intelligence Reader, and (NATO) Intelligence Exploitation of the Internet. All three of these documents remain valid and useful today. In the years between 1994 and today, over 40 countries have developed some form of OSINT Center or Cell, most of them for military use. The United 1 SMART NATION ACT: Public Intelligence in the Public Interest States, however, was slow to focus on OSINT across the board, and on 11 September 2001, we were attacked on our homeland by a terrorist group whose intentions had been amply documented in both secret and open sources. What we have learned since 9/11 is that Information Operations (IO) is the primary means of both understanding and of stabilizing the world. Belief systems in all languages, and an understanding of those belief systems in the context of their own history in their own language, their own sermons today in their own language, are the absolutely essential foundation for national security and national competitiveness in the age of globalization. OSINT is an integral supporting element of IO. Robert Steele has done more than any other person to promote the effective use of OSINT in support of policy, acquisition, operations, logistics, and all-source intelligence, and with this book—his fourth book—he brings to Congress and the public carefully developed arguments and supporting documentation for the Smart Nation Act. The Open Source Solution refers to both OSINT and to open source software.1 As I reflect on all that I have learned since being Staff Director to Senator Barry Goldwater (R-AZ), then Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI); as an Army officer; and as a Congressman with responsibilities on both the House Armed Services Committee and as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Intelligence, Information Sharing, and Terrorism Risk Assessment of the House Homeland Security Committee, I find myself seeing four areas where we can improve our Nation’s prospects for the future: First, it is clear, as this book suggests and as Dr. Cambone has demanded, that we must be able to access all information in all languages, all the time. Secret intelligence is a fraction of what we need to know to defend America, collaborate with allies, and enhance the prosperity of all countries. It is no longer enough to have spies and diplomats—we are engaged in a 100-year six-front Global War, and nothing less than universal information coverage will 1 Open Source Software, sometime called Free/Open Source Software, is not necessarily free of price, but rather free of the cumbersome restrictions that come with proprietary software.

  • Vanguard Label Discography Was Compiled Using Our Record Collections, Schwann Catalogs from 1953 to 1982, a Phono-Log from 1963, and Various Other Sources
    Discography Of The Vanguard Label Vanguard Records was established in New York City in 1947. It was owned by Maynard and Seymour Solomon. The label released classical, folk, international, jazz, pop, spoken word, rhythm and blues and blues. Vanguard had a subsidiary called Bach Guild that released classical music. The Solomon brothers started the company with a loan of $10,000 from their family and rented a small office on 80 East 11th Street. The label was started just as the 33 1/3 RPM LP was just gaining popularity and Vanguard concentrated on LP’s. Vanguard commissioned recordings of five Bach Cantatas and those were the first releases on the label. As the long play market expanded Vanguard moved into other fields of music besides classical. The famed producer John Hammond (Discoverer of Robert Johnson, Bruce Springsteen Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan and Aretha Franklin) came in to supervise a jazz series called Jazz Showcase. The Solomon brothers’ politics was left leaning and many of the artists on Vanguard were black-listed by the House Un-American Activities Committive. Vanguard ignored the black-list of performers and had success with Cisco Houston, Paul Robeson and the Weavers. The Weavers were so successful that Vanguard moved more and more into the popular field. Folk music became the main focus of the label and the home of Joan Baez, Ian and Sylvia, Rooftop Singers, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Doc Watson, Country Joe and the Fish and many others. During the 1950’s and early 1960’s, a folk festival was held each year in Newport Rhode Island and Vanguard recorded and issued albums from the those events.

  • Dave Wakeling - Musician
    Dave Wakeling - Musician Dave Wakeling recently toured the UK with his band The English Beat. Back in the late 70’s and 80’s The Beat had several big records in the charts including the smash hit single “Mirror In The Bathroom”. As a multi- racial band much of their repertoire reflected the tension of the times, singing about unity, unemployment and politics. One single in particular, “Stand Down Margaret”, became a focus for dissent against the Thatcher government. Although the six-piece joined the likes of The Specials and Madness in the early 80s Two Tone movement, differing decisions on how to move forward saw them eventually split. Dave established a new band in the USA with fellow singer Ranking Roger while guitarist Andy Cox and bass player David Steele remained in the UK, forming Fine Young Cannibals. Dave told the Birmingham Post: “I just like to walk around the city when I come home. I remember growing up in Harbury Road and we were right at the back of the cricket ground. We used to sneak into games and managed to see three international games for free. I dream of that street a lot. It is now a really happy place for me. I was never very keen on the weather… but there is something about Birmingham. I like that gallows sense of humour, and a lot of my song-writing came out of that lovely raised eyebrow of Birmingham irony.” Talking to Uncut magazine Dave recalled the night that led to the first recording of “Mirror In The Bathroom”.

We apologize for any inaccuracies. HIV Science and Responsible Journalism 2 XVI International AIDS Conference 08/13/2006 [START RECORDING] DANIEL KURITZKES, M.D.: Thank you for coming to this session on responsible reporting on HIV/AIDS. My name is Daniel Kuritzkes. I’m director of AIDS research at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and director of the Harvard AIDS clinical trials unit and also the chairman of the board of the HIV medicine association. On behalf of my co-chair, Laurie Garrett from the Council on Foreign Relations and on behalf of the HIV Medicine Association and the forum for HIV Collaborative Research, which together with the International AIDS Society are co-sponsoring this session, I’d like to welcome you to this morning’s session. The HIV/AIDS epidemic has stirred passions and controversies around the world over the last 25 years, and not surprisingly, these passions and controversies have often been reflected in reporting on the epidemic. These controversies have encompassed conflicting political, cultural and religious views on how to prevent the spread of HIV, the rights of persons living with HIV/AIDS, economic disparities between north and south that limit access to life-saving medical therapy for HIV infection, and scientific and medical controversies regarding the origins of HIV, disease pathogenesis and issues such as when to start antiretroviral therapy.

Bruce, B.A., M.A. A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin December 2009 ABSTRACT “ORDINARY TALENTS AND EXTRAORDINARY PERSEVERANCE”: THE LIFE OF SIR THOMAS FOWELL BUXTON David S. Bruce, B.A., M.A. Marquette University, 2009 Born into a gentry family with roots in the Society of Friends, the evangelical social conscience of Thomas Fowell Buxton (1786-1845) was developed as he operated a brewery in Spitalfields, perhaps London’s poorest parish. He was instrumental in raising funds for poor relief and establishing soup and bread kitchens there during the winter of 1816-1817. His interest and research on penal discipline brought him national prominence and led to a parliamentary seat which he held for nearly two decades. Buxton’s association with noted activist William Wilberforce (1759-1833) led to his own involvement in the anti-slavery movement, a cause he fiercely championed, resulting in Britain’s abolition of slavery throughout the Empire in 1834. After leaving Parliament in 1837, Buxton focused on revitalizing Africa through a program to end international slavery and encourage African self- sufficiency.
