More than 20 national security experts, including officials from the Homeland Security and Defense departments, will convene Wednesday and Thursday to discuss how President-elect Barack Obama's administration should confront the county's myriad domestic security issues.
Hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, the two-day conference features six panels on topics such as disaster response, infrastructure protection, the National Guard's role and department oversight. Speakers include Paul McHale, assistant secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense and Americas' Security Affairs; Mike Hickey, vice president of Verizon and chair of the Communications Sector Coordinating Council; and Col. Leslie J. Carroll, deputy chief of staff for operations in the U.S. Army Reserve Command. A representative from the transition team at DHS will also be attending, although the specific person has not yet been confirmed.
Ethan Wais, a spokesman for CSIS, said he expects nearly 250 people to attend the conference, which has reached the maximum number of participants. NationalJournal.com will be covering the event at the CSIS office on K Street. Check back later this week for more.

Prada replica designer handbags are most widely utilized amongst all the brandnames of fake mulberry bags. The explanation for their recognition is rather obvious. They are expressed by using out class substance. Everything that is found in creating them is of premium high quality. These designers never make any compromise on their items. Which is why any whole range makes them stand throughout the crowd. The each and every item is stuffed with grace and elegance.

Great Forum & Community!
I've been here as a lurker for a while and finally got around to registration.
I sorta live online - spend most of my days addicted to social sites like MySpace.com and gambling sites like Betot.com.
Besides gambling (this week I made a sweet $2,000) off of betot, I love sports and hiking.
So that's my self introduction. Happy New Year to All and hope to get to know you all better... http://demya.com/images/forum.gif
