...FBI Study Finds Active Shooter Incidents Increasing By: Amanda Vicinanzo, Senior Editor 10/22/2014 ( 9:40am) In partnership with Texas State University’s Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training Center, the FBI in 2014 initiated a study of active shooter incidents to provide law enforcement and first responders with data to help them better prevent, prepare for, respond and recover from future incidents. The report, A Study of Active Shooter Incidents in the United States Between 2000 and 2013, evaluated 160 active shooter incidents, including those at Virginia Tech, Sandy Hook Elementary School, the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, Fort Hood, the Aurora (Colorado) Cinemark Century 16 movie theater, the Sikh Temple in Wisconsin, the Washington Navy Yard and numerous other tragic shootings. Special Agent Katherine Schweit, who heads the FBI’s Active Shooter Initiative, says she hopes the study “demonstrates the need not only for enhanced preparation on the part of law enforcement and other first responders, but also for civilians to be engaged in discussions and training on decisions they’d have to make in an active shooter situation.” The FBI emphasized that the report evaluates active shootings, a term more specific than “mass shootings,” which does not encompass all mass killings or shootings in public places. The FBI defines active shooters as “individuals actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in populated areas (excluding shootings...

It has the goal of a reflection of what we have learned so far and also to review all contend covered until the chapter 4. Chapter 1 –Introduct ion The class started talking about the definition of international project. Before, I used to believe that the only difference between traditional and international projects was the size of them and they were not that different. I mean, both can be on multiple locations, could have different entities and business units, so I did not know the real difference and the complexity of them. When it was talked about the PES analyze I started to recognize the huge difference between T them. Although traditional projects can be in different localizations they are at the same country that has the same economic. The most enjoyable part of this chapter is the standard methods used on projects. With this standardization is possible to have the same quality and “ language” documents regardless of of the localization and then we have examplesof international projects. Another part that really called my attention was the part of communication. As in the example of the roads of Roma, the communication process showed is essential...

...Chapter-1 Introduction 1. BAckground of the study. Four years back Bangladesh Bank undertook a project to review the global best practices in the banking sector and examines in the possibility of introducing these in the banking industry of Bangladesh. Four ‘Focus Groups’ were formed with participation from Nationalized Commercial Banks, Private Commercial Banks & Foreign Banks with representatives from the Bangladesh Bank as team coordinators to look into the practices of the best performing banks both at home and abroad. These focus groups identified and selected five core risk areas and produced a document that would be a basic risk management model for each of the five 'core' risk areas of banking. The five core risk areas are as follows- a) Credit Risks; b) Asset & Liability / Balance Sheet Risks; c) Foreign Exchange Risks; d) Internal Control & Compliance Risks; and e) Money Laundering Risks. Bangladesh Bank in one of it’s circular (BRPD Circular no.17) advised the commercial banks of Bangladesh to put in place an effective credit approval and monitoring system by December, 2003 based on the guidelines sent to them. In my study, I would try to put forward my findings about the “Credit Management Policy of Bangladesh Bank, and its implementation”. To illustrate my point, I am giving the example of Bank Asia Limited. 2. Objectives of the study. Broad objective: ❖ The broad objective is to know...

Potential problem: some destinations might be unreachable. Original Internet and the problem if the core routers are allowed to have default routes. Core routing architecture with single backbone. Assumes a centralized set of routers that know all possible destinations in an internet. Non-core routers use the core routers as their default routers. Work best for internets that have a single, centrally managed backbone. Inappropriate for multiple backbones. Disadvantage Central bottleneck for all traffic Not every site could have a core router connected to the backbone: how do they get routing information? No shortcut route possible: non-core routers always forward their traffic to the default routers even though another core router provides a better route. This is because the noncore routers do not know which one is better without full knowledge of all possible destinations...

...Determinants Of Audit Fees: Empirical Evidence From Emerging Economy Kamal Naser* Hamed Abdullhameed** & Rana Nuseibeh*** Abstract This study investigates the structure of audit fees in an emerging economy, Jordan. Data were collected from a sample of companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange that forms 90% of the total population and fairly presents all industrial sectors within the economy. Consistent with previous research, the results of the analysis revealed that corporate size, status of the audit firm, industry type, degree of corporate complexity and risk are the main determinants of audit fees in the Jordanian environment. Unlike previous studies, however, variables such as corporate profitability, corporate accounting year-end and time lag between year-end and the audit report date appeared to be insignificant determinants of audit fees in the sampled companies.

INTRODUCTION In today’s Internet, attackers can forge the source address of IP packets to both maintain their anonymity and redirect the blame for attacks. When attackers inject packets with spoofed source addresses into the Internet, routers forward those packets to their destination just like any other packet—often without checking the validity of the packets’ source addresses. These spoofing packets1 consume network bandwidth en route to their destinations, and are often part of some malicious activity, such as a DDoS attack. Unfortunately, routers on 1 In...

ABSTRACT The study adopted a comprehensive survey of companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange, in order to identify the most important effects of the global financial crisis on the financial sector in general, and its constituent sectors particularly in Jordan, Through the movement of the index for each sector of the financial sectors, the study found that Jordan like other countries in the world has been affected by the global financial crisis, but to a lesser extent due to the lack of modern financial instruments in the financial market such as derivatives. The study found also that the financial sectors in Jordan has recorded a sequential decline it was most severe in the diversified financial services sector, followed by the real estate sector and the banking sector varied, then the insurance sector, where it notes that the diversified financial services sector and real estate sector have been a sharp rise at the beginning of 2008 so they are the most affected at the time of the global financial crisis, as shown by the similarity of the study of vulnerability to a large extent.

...Impact of BGP Dynamics on Router CPU Utilization Sharad Agarwal1 , Chen-Nee Chuah2 , Supratik Bhattacharyya3 , and Christophe Diot4 1 University of California, Berkeley, USA, sagarwal@cs.berkeley.edu 2 University of California, Davis, USA, chuah@ece.ucdavis.edu 3 Sprint ATL, Burlingame, USA, supratik@sprintlabs.com 4 Intel Research, Cambridge, UK, christophe.diot@intel.com 1 Introduction The Internet is an interconnection of separately administered networks called Autonomous Systems or ASes. To reach entities outside the AS, the inter-domain routing protocol used today is the Border Gateway Protocol or BGP [1]. It has been approximately 15 years since BGP was deployed on the Internet. The number of ASes participating in BGP has grown to over 16, 000 today. However, this growth has been super-linear during the past few years [2]. With this sudden growth there has been concern in the research community about how well BGP is scaling. In particular, it has been noted that there is significant growth in the volume of BGP route announcements (or route flapping) [3] and in the number of BGP route entries in the routers of various ASes [2]. For every BGP routing update that is received by a router, several tasks need to be performed [4]. First, the appropriate RIB-in (routing information base) needs to be updated. Ingress filtering, as defined in the router’s configuration, has to be applied to the route announcement. If it is not filtered out, the route undergoes the BGP route selection...
