WFAS - Wildland Fire Assessment System [website]
"WFAS, the Wildland Fire Assessment System, is an internet-based information system. The current implementation provides a national view of weather and fire potential, including national fire danger and weather maps and satellite-derived 'Greenness' maps (Burgan and others 1997). Development is continuing. See News for current information. WFAS was first made available in 1994. In 1999 operation was transferred from the Fire Sciences Laboratory (FS Rocky Mountain Research Station, Missoula MT) to the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC, Boise, ID). WFAS was redesigned in 2002 to provide easier access to products and vastly improve the archival process. The archives now provide real-time access to past map images including fire danger, heavy fuel moisture, Haines Index, and greenness. The navigation bar on the left organizes products by category. Selection provides access to links along with a description of the product. The Quick Links table provides direct access to products, which are categorized as Current conditions Forecast Image archive (just pictures) Data archive Archives are selected from a calendar. Variables available for each day are listed. Pop ups from wfas.net should be allowed. Maps/Data are loaded into seperate [sic] windows so different dates/maps can be compared."

United States Senate Committee on Energy & Natural Resources [website]
"Since its creation, the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources and its predecessors have considered, reported, and overseen some of the most important legislation ever enacted by the United States Congress. This far-reaching legislative activity can be described in the following major areas: energy resources and development, including regulation, conservation, strategic petroleum reserves and appliance standards; nuclear energy; Indian affairs; public lands and their renewable resources; surface mining, Federal coal, oil, and gas, other mineral leasing; territories and insular possessions; and water resources. The Energy Committee has distinguished itself as among the most nonpartisan, or bipartisan, in the Senate. Because the issues considered affect regional more than partisan interests, the panel has traditionally approached its work in a consensus building mode. Most policy considerations occur among members prior to public discussion of an issue, so that by the time the panel reports a measure, controversy has been abated and the vote is as close to unanimous as possible. Much of this consensual approach has been attributed to the narrow margin afforded the majority party on the Committee. The Energy and Natural Resources panel is generally a constituent-oriented committee. The panel has retained primarily State-related interest for Senators and has kept a Western emphasis in its composition. However, world events and the 1977 restructuring of committee jurisdiction have affected the geographic composition of the panel in the last decade."

CIA Freedom of Information Act 25-Year Program Archive Search
"CIA has maintained a program operating out of the CIA Declassification Center to review records under the purview of EO 12958, as amended, before they reach their automatic declassification deadline. CIA has deployed an electronic full-text searchable system it has named CREST (the CIA Records Search Tool), which has been operational since 2000 and is located at NARA II in College Park Maryland. [...] On this Agency site, researchers can now use an on-line CREST Finding Aid to research the availability of CIA documents declassified and loaded onto CREST through 2008. Data for the remaining years up to the present (CREST deliveries have been ongoing) will be placed on this site at later dates. As indicated in the '25-Year Released Documents Search' page below, researchers can search by the title and date, or date span, of documents. [...]. Following a successful search, the resulting document metadata will appear on a separate page. In addition to the title and date, the metadata will include the 'ESDN number' (see below), the number of pages, the original classification, document type, and the release decision. The ESDN number is the internal Agency tracking number which should be used when submitting a FOIA request. The original classification is indicated by the letters T (Top Secret), S (Secret), C (Confidential), U (Unclassified), and K for unknown or unmarked. The release decision of the document is either RIF (released in full) or RIP (released in part)."

Civil Liberties Impact Assessment for the State, Local, and Regional Fusion Center Initiative
"The 9/11 Commission acknowledged the challenge of information sharing between the Federal government and State and local entities. As a result, many states and municipalities began adopting a 'fusion' center approach to information sharing that was uncommon in the pre-9/11 era. Using various local, State, and Federal funds, state and local executives have now created approximately 58 fusion centers around the country. These fusion centers (FC) serve as a place where State and local officials, along side their Federal partners, collaborate, coordinate and share law enforcement and intelligence information in an effort to prevent future threats to the Nation. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties (CRCL) recognizes the importance of information sharing in the homeland security effort. At the same time, CRCL wants to ensure that information sharing is conducted in a lawful manner consistent with Constitutional, statutory, regulatory, and other legal and policy requirements, including applicable privacy and civil liberties standards."
