1: Protection Management Prepares Individuals for Secret Service Special Agent Careers
Working in the protection and security industry is both challenging and rewarding. Agents are on the cutting-edge of providing a service that requires personal sacrifice, discipline, and the ability to foresee risks before they become a reality. One cannot be guaranteed a job as a Secret Service Special Agent upon completing coursework in protection management but this work will prepare students to be successful in the strategic security field.
2: A Whale - A Missed Opportunity
After mounting a second shut-off device on its dysfunctional blow out preventer, BP must now skim close to 200 million gallons of crude oil from the surface of the Gulf. The A-Whale, a Taiwanese supertanker converted for oil skimming duties, arrived in the Gulf, tried its luck at skimming, and discovered that the conversion does not work. The chance of cleaning the Gulf quickly was missed and American technology could not assist either.
3: Skimming, Healing, and Protecting the Gulf
After capping its well, BP must try to skim close to 200 million gallons of crude from Gulf waters before the first tropical storms and hurricanes can interrupt their work. BP desperately needs more effective skimming equipment for cleaning soiled Gulf waters. A new emergency preparedness agency is urgently needed that can deploy effective assets in form of trained emergency crews, high capacity oil skimmers, and well containment devices.

5: The Fault In Self-Government: The Self
The nature of the people drives the government. We get the government we deserve, as the government is a reflection of ourselves. The fault in self-government lies less with the government and more with the self. Only a moral, righteous and just people can sustain a open, honest and honorable government.
6: King Makers
We profess to manage ourselves and our state by way of democratic principles yet we raise up an individual, presume to endow that individual with supernatural powers, install him as president and summarily absolve ourselves of any and all responsibility for the lives we lead, the environment we live in, or the society we create. Despite the dire consequences we persist in making kings.
7: Tiny Oil Skimmers Can't Handle BP Disaster
BP's leaking oil well will spill more than five million barrels into the Gulf. US citizens must be protected from similar, recurring disasters. More and more oil is reaching surface waters. Fishing has been destroyed. Gulf Coast residents are facing bankruptcy and impoverished futures. Tourism industry will be devastated. No solutions are available for removing the spreading oily debris. Only technologists can help but are not called upon.
8: "Mission Accomplished" - A Printed Banners Story
A review of the ?Mission Accomplished? banner seen behind President George W. Bush during a speech on the aircraft carrier, the USS Abraham Lincoln. Probably not a good day for printed banners.
9: Are We Up for the Challenges Ahead?
Enough with the petty games - feeding the egos of the advantaged elite - manipulating the masses to benefit a few at the expense of the many. The answer to the question, "Are we up to the challenges ahead?" is determined by you. Choose to contribute not to consume. Choose to cooperate, not to compete. Choose on behalf of unity, of harmony, of peace. Your choices affect us all.
