In its two previous reports, the Task Force has advocated the mobilization of information to prevent terrorism through the creation of a trusted information sharing environment. That environment enhances collaboration, and facilitates the flow of information across the federal government, state and local agencies, and the private sector to enhance understanding of the threats to our nation’s security. It does so in a trusted manner, using information effectively and appropriately, and protecting civil liberties. This vision of a trusted network, along with the key attributes of our proposed Systemwide Homeland Analysis and Resource Exchange (SHARE) Network, outlined in our previous report, were enacted into law in the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004. The Task Force has not been alone in issuing such recommendations. Concepts such as ours have been proposed by the Report of the Joint Inquiry into the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001, the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, the Commission on the Intelligence Capabilities Regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction, and many others. Yet despite general agreement on the need for enhanced information sharing to combat terrorism, the nation remains far from achieving this goal. Indeed, we are struck by the wide gap that persists between ambition and vision on the one hand, and actual achievement and concrete steps towards implementation on the other. To be sure, the President and Congress have adopted the vision of information sharing, and have acted in a bipartisan way to remove barriers to achieve that vision. We have witnessed some genuine improvements in information sharing. But two years since the publication of our last report, and almost five years since the terrorist attacks of September 11, systematic, trusted information sharing remains more of an aspiration than a reality. The government has yet to articulate a credible implementation plan for a broad and trusted information sharing environment, and the sense of commitment and determination that characterized the government’s response in the

Stepping out and passing through the pillared porticoes was a Who's Who of Swiss society-the head of state, national sports icons, former ministers and army generals-all of whom had come to celebrate the sixty-fifth birthday of Werner Spross, the owner of a huge horticultural business empire. As one of Zurich's wealthiest and best-connected men, it was perhaps fitting that 650 of his "close friends" had been invited to attend the event, a lavish banquet followed by a performance of Romeo and Juliet. Defiantly greeting the guests were 200 demonstrators standing in the square in front of the opera house. Mostly young, wearing scruffy clothes and sporting punky haircuts, they whistled and booed, angry that the opera house had been sold out, allowing itself for the first time to be taken over by a rich patron. They were also chanting slogans about the inequity of Swiss society and the wealth of Spross's guests. The glittering horde did its very best to ignore the disturbance. The protest had the added significance of being held on the tenth anniversary of the first spark of the city's most explosive youth revolt of recent years, The Movement.

  • Winter 2017 FLIGHTLINE
    Daedalus Winter 2017 FLIGHTLINE 18th (Mile High) Flight Denver, CO Cyber Security is headline news these days as we combat threats to our national security and personal identities. Major General Dale Meyerrose, USAF (Ret) was our guest speaker in Oct 2016 to speak to us on that subject. During - Director of National Intelligence. That is quite a lengthy, triple-hat job title but what it boiled down to is that he became the internationally respected subject mat- ter expert on cyber security, strategic planning, intelligence leadership, telemedi- cine technology and military intelligence matters. And, it all started at the USAF Academy as a classmate of our Flight Cap- both on the parachute demonstration team and both became Master Parachutists. Maj gen Dale Meyerrose He founded the MeyerRose Group, LLC, consulting world-wide on cyber security, strategy, business planning, and executive development. He is frequently quoted in international news and trade publications and often ap- pears on Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, and other programs like Bloomberg International. General Meyerrose spoke to us and emphasized cyber security myths vs. the reality. For example the myth that the biggest threat is from outside sources; the reality is inside sources. The myth that high tech hacking is the biggest threat; in reality it is simply credential theft whether it be government agencies or personal data. The myth that China or some other nation is the biggest threat; in reality it is ourselves. We allow malicious software in to on social media channels or e-mail. The bottom line is that cyber security is not something you have; it is something you constantly work on.

ABSTRACT While telemedicine and technology-enabled education are not new concepts and have significant bodies of research, in depth application to management and treatment of veteran Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is relatively new. The conflicts in the Southwest Asia over the last two decades have significantly increased the need for healthcare and support services for these returning warriors. Creative thinking and innovative technologies are needed to meet the growing and changing demand of these patients in the face of many competing demands within the U.S. healthcare sector. This doctoral research study investigated the potential for a platform-agnostic (ad hoc) networking technology to serve as a trusted social networking and training platform for healthcare providers who are striving to provide quality healthcare that meets the needs of veterans suffering from PTSD and TBI. This research study analyzed the effectiveness of a digitally networked environment to deliver desired training and certification outcomes in a military healthcare environment.
