CAFTA-DR Good for U.S., Says Baylor Economist
Several
media outlets ran a statement from Dr. Joseph A. McKinney about
the CAFTA-DR trade agreement, including Forbes.com, DallasNews.com,
The National Hispanic Corporate Council, several television stations
and Yahoo!. "The major importance of the CAFTA-DR agreement
lies in the fact that it will benefit the countries of Central America,
and the United States will gain in a variety of ways from having
more prosperous neighbors... As these economies grow and become
more stable, there will be less incentive for Central Americans
to immigrate illegally to the United States."

Vaughn
Discusses Botnet Hunting
Dr.
Randall Vaughn is interviewed by EWeek magazine about his leadership
role in vigilante Botnet hunting. "A key part of the vigilante
effort, Vaughn said, is to work closely with the network operators
to quickly strangle the botnet once the C&C is pinpointed. The
operators of ASNs (autonomous system numbers) have been largely
reticent in the past, but Vaughn said the relationship has improved
because network operators now see a business value in clamping down
on botnets."
