Summit at UCI Brings Home the
Battle Against Landmines
Los Angeles Times - April
29, 2004
"The stories and pictures are haunting:
The little Croatian girl lost her leg when she stepped on a
landmine. The small backyard is as far as the boy in Kosovo can
venture — beyond the gated area, the deadly leftovers of war make
further adventure too risky. For the young Vietnamese boy, one
ill-fated step took most of his legs, his arm and the sight in an
eye. Heather Mills McCartney hopes the images chronicling the
devastation caused by landmines will motivate the nearly 200 people
at the Human Security Summit held Wednesday at UC Irvine to take
action." View the entire story from the
Los Angeles Times (registration required).

Daily
Pilot - January 13, 2004
"School safety
used to mean knowing how to hide under a desk or get out to the
athletic field. Today, it means dealing with threats ranging from a

Orange
County Register - January 12, 20004
"These days, school safety is a much more sophisticated business,
with written crisis plans, lockdown drills and search-and- rescue
teams ready for an emergency. Today, UC Irvine's newly created
Center for Unconventional Security Affairs held a workshop to
help schools learn more about cheap and easy ways to make their
schools more secure. "We found the biggest weakness is the first
five minutes between an incident occurring and when the first
responders arrive," said center director Richard Matthew, who headed
a six-month-long task force on school safety that just completed its
work." Read more...
