	Social Security Stance Risky, Democrats Told (washingtonpost.com)
		The opening round of the Social Security debate has played out just the way Democrats had hoped, with President Bush on the defensive, Republicans in Congress divided and Democrats united in their opposition to the centerpiece of Bush's plan, voluntary personal accounts.
		But at a time when many Democrats are congratulating one another, others are beginning to worry that their strategy of rigid opposition has not begun to pay any political dividends and that Bush could yet outflank them before this fight is over.
		In their analysis, Greenberg and Carville said Democrats have resisted saying there is a problem with Social Security, even though 63 percent of Americans in a recent National Public Radio poll said there was.

	Solaris Security Stance
		This document does not cover the configuration of security parameters that are set by default in the operating system, as they will not be modified from the default secure stance they provide.
		A number of security bugs are related to default executable stacks when their permissions are set to read, write and execute.
		This message is useful both for observing potential security problems, as well as to identify valid programs that depend upon executable stacks which have been prevented from correct operation by setting this variable.

	Internet Firewalls and Security
		This security policy must include published security guidelines to inform users of their responsibilities; corporate policies defining network access, service access, local and remote user authentication, dial-in and dial-out, disk and data encryption, and virus protection measures; and employee training.
		This means that the security of the private network would depend on the "hardness" of each host's security features and would be only as secure as the weakest system.
		This enhanced security comes with an increased cost in terms of purchasing the gateway hardware platform, the proxy service applications, the time and knowledge required to configure the gateway, a decrease in the level of service that may be provided to users, and a lack of transparency resulting in a less user-friendly system.

	[Chapter 3] 3.5 Fail-Safe Stance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Inevitably, there are going to be periods of vulnerability between the time that a system is set up, the time that a security problem is discovered, and the time that the maintainer is able to respond to the problem.
		About the only people who benefit from the default permit stance are potential attackers, because the firewall maintainer can't possibly close all the holes, is forever stuck in "fire fighting" mode, and is likely to be far too busy to notice an attacker's activities.
		Suppose that your stance is a permissive one, and you haven't specifically told your users that it's not safe to run NFS across your firewall (or even if you have told them, but don't remember or don't care).

	IBM Research \| Projects \| Distributed Wireless Security Auditor
		Security is one of the major challenges for 802.11b wireless networking.
		Continuous monitoring is something we consider crucial for todays wireless installations, where the security of an enterprise's Intranet may be easily compromised by a single incorrectly configured or rogue access point.
		If the server detects an unknown access point or one with a security configuration violation, the server computes the physical location of the offending access point using the signal strength observed by the client and the locations of some known valid access points through a process of tri-lateration.

	Naharnet Newsdesk - Gebran Tueni: A realistic Analysis of a Historic Security Council Stance
		The long-overdue report by the U.N. Security Council was tantamount to a "quantum leap" in the international community's dealings with Lebanon as it underscored unequivocal commitment to the recovery of Lebanese independence, sovereignty and freedom of decision, An Nahar's general manager opined Thursday.
		This "significant achievement" is an indirect response to Syrian Foreign Minister Farouk al-Sharaa, who had dismissed Resolution 1559 as "trivial and unimportant," underlining the measure of "incompetence to which Syria has sunk in dealing with international affairs," remarked Tueni.
		The author described as "historic" the U.N. Security Council's consensus for regular, biannual reports on the implementation of Resolution 1559.

		The Security Council has demanded the weapons inspectors be allowed full access to possible weapons sites so UNSCOM can make sure all banned weapons have been destroyed.
		All are permanent members of the Security Council and could veto any council measure threatening or authorizing military force.
