Random Spaf Items
Things that Spaf thinks are interesting. This includes the CERIAS Weblogs, his personal blog ramblings, and other items found on the WWW and elsewhere. Material here is mostly related to issues of cyber security, cybercrime and privacy; public policy towards computing; and some of the more bizarre items of behavior that get documented in the news. Also, some news about me, about USACM and about CERIAS. Occasionally, some silly items may find their way here, too.

U.S. Competitive Position Has Further Declined In Past Five Years, Report Says; Nation Needs Sustained Commitment To Investment In Innovation
This is about an important report from the National Academies. The news is not good (for the U.S.). It is a follow-on to the Rising Above the Gathering Storm report of 5 years ago.
The news release describing the report is online.
The report itself may be read online for free, or printed copies may be ordered.
Anyone concerned with issues of science and technology, national defense, the economy, education, or national competitiveness should ready at least the executive summary.
