************************************************************** Net Happenings - From Educational CyberPlayGround ************************************************************** Colleges seek slice of U.S. security pie The Keystone Alliance, made up of Penn State, the University of Pennsylvania, Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh, recently showcased technology and research for the Homeland Security Department (HSD), hoping to gain a portion of the $803 million allocated for science and technology efforts in 2004. Penn State has researched using brain scans to detect when someone is lying. Carnegie Mellon presented a small helicopter which flew over and mapped the wreckage of Flight 93 after the September 11 attacks, and a robotic snake to explore debris and navigate tight spaces. The universities also presented research into such topics as mapping terrorist finances, cybersecurity, and traveling weather stations. Other colleges across the U.S. will also be pitching projects to HSD for research funds. http://www.post-gazette.com/localnews/20030429summit0429p4.asp EDUCATIONAL CYBERPLAYGROUND <http://www.edu-cyberpg.com> +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | FREE EDUCATION VENDOR DIRECTORY LISTING | | PREMIUM EDUCATON VENDOR DIRECTORY LISTING | | FEATURED MERCHANT VENDOR DIRECTORY LISTING | http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Directory/default.asp +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ <>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<> EDUCATIONAL CYBERPLAYGROUND http://www.edu-cyberpg.com <>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<> ADVERTISE REACH THE EDUCATION MARKET GET FREE EDUCATION VENDOR DIRECTORY LISTING http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Directory/default.asp Net Happenings,K12 Newsletters, Network Newsletters, New-list http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Community/index.html HOT LIST OF SCHOOLS ONLINE http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Schools/default.asp SERVICES http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/PS/Home_Products.html <>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>
