I've finally achieved consistency in my life. Any person of average or above intelligence can predict what I will say next with unerring accuracy. And what I say will always be wrong.

[CanYoAssDigIt] University of Washington and homeland insecurity

Sorry I couldn't find a more U of W-centric reference for this, the
part we are really interested in is in the 3rd paragraph. Perhaps
they can practice on I-chat, a veritable hotbed of thought crime.

You've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel secure? Well, do ya, punk?

"A team comprised of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and
the Georgia Institute of Technology has been named a Regional
Visualization and Analytics Center by Pacific Northwest National
Laboratory in Richland, Wash. PNNL leads the Department of Homeland
Security's National Visualization and Analytics Center,
(http://nvac.pnl.gov/) or NVACTM, which is bringing academic expertise
to the nation's efforts to discover information that may warn
officials of a terrorist attack.

UNC Charlotte and Georgia Tech will develop techniques and tools to
assist homeland security analysts, and then combine the tools in an
artificial analytic reasoning system. The system will be able to
analyze enormous multimedia databases, such as the data generated by
the web in the forms of text, imagery, video and webcast.

The UNC Charlotte and Georgia Tech partnership is one of four
university team selections announced today. The others are the
University of Washington, Purdue University and Indiana University's
School of Medicine, and Pennsylvania State University. Stanford
University was named a regional center earlier this year."

Go, you Huskies!
