Apple drew heat last week after security ex- perts revealed that the iPhone secretly tracks the movements of its users. While this revelation is troubling, it's only half as bad as how different government agencies are already keeping tabs on the public. According to security researchers Alasdair Allan and Pete Warden, a hidden file on the popular smart phone maintains a continuous history of whatever places the phone has been. Some politicians didn't waste time trying to spin the incident as a market failure requiring government intervention. Sen. Al Franken, Minnesota Democrat, fired off a letter to Apple chief Steve Jobs on Wednesday explaining the information could be abused by "criminals and bad actors" and demanding an explanation for the phone's behavior. Rep. Jay Inslee, Washing...

This article describes how government-wide information can be used to make meaningful comparisons among local governments by using actual data from selected cities in Virg...

The portion of the request related to disposition activities in Russia dropped significantly from the fiscal year 2011 request. Because Congress did not approve fiscal year 2011 funding for most U.S. government agencies before last Sept. 30, the end of fiscal year 2010, the federal government is now operating under a continuing resolution (CR), which will fund the government into March. According to a State Department statement at the time of the protocol's signing, the combined 68 metric tons of plutonium represents enough material to make approximately 17,000 nuclear weapons.

Out-of-class involvement provides students with opportunities for rich social lives which, according to Cheng (2004), are closely associated with sense of campus community. Based on Astin's (1984) Theory of Involvement, and Boyer's (1990) principles of community, the purpose of this study was to examine how involvement in out-of-class activities influences students' perceived sense of campus community. Three hundred and thirty respondents completed an on-line questionnaire which consisted of demographics and questions related to their out-of-class involvement in 14 areas as identified by the institutions' Dean of Students Office, and a 25-item sense of community scale developed by Cheng (2004). Out-of-class involvement levels were examined using a hierarchical cluster analysis. Explorat...
