Oh.  That's why I wouldn't have known that.  I'm in Indiana, where we
can't get the State legislature to understand how having our own time
zone is a real problem, and even if they were convinces of that, they
wouldn't then be able to agree whether we should be in the Central or
Eastern time zones.

    I think the day is simply the standard Daylight Savings
Time end day. That was "chosen" some time ago (probably
the USNO or something would have more information). It is
sort of like the campaign to change batteries in your
smoke detectors. It's a day when people have to change
their clocks so...

The day varies every year.  In 2001, it was Oct. 30, so it is usually
one of
the last days on October.

Many hold an event on either the Friday before, or the Monday after,
if the
day falls on a weekend.

     How many of you knew that National Security Awareness day is

Sunday, October 26th?  (I didn't until yesterday.)  I am curious if
any
institutions have any programs or activities scheduled to coincide
with this
day?  More information is available from the Stay Safe Online web site
sponsored by the National Cyber Security Alliance at
http://www.staysafeonline.info/ <http://www.staysafeonline.info/>

     The Washington Post also reported yesterday that the Department
of

Homeland Security and a group of high-tech companies are launching a
nationwide media blitz warning customers about how to protect
themselves
against hackers, viruses and fraudsters online.  The consumer
education
campaign is a key pillar of the Bush administration's cybersecurity
strategy.

     A couple of weeks ago I posted a notice about a new Security

Awareness Initiative of the EDUCAUSE/Internet2 Computer and Network
Security
Task Force.  Several of you have expressed interest in participating
or
responded with information about your own campus initiatives.  If you
are
attending the annual EDUCAUSE conference we invite you to join us for
an
Open Meeting of the Security Task Force on Thursday, November 6th, at
12:45
p.m. in Ballroom E.  We will report on accomplishments and describe a
number
of new initiatives, including efforts to improve security awareness
and
facilitate the sharing of campus outreach materials.  We will share a
report
from that meeting following the conference with members of the
Security
Discussion Group.

     There are several sessions at this year's conference that
address

security awareness:

     -Track Session on "Security Training and Awareness on a Budget"
on

Wednesday at 3:50 p.m. - 4:40 p.m.

     -Poster Sessions on "Awareness Is the Key to Security" and

Security Awareness and Defense in Depth:  Methods for Expanding
Security
Strategies to Academic Departments" on Wednesday at 4:55 p.m. - 6:10
p.m.

     -The EDUCAUSE Center for Applied Research will also reveal the

results of its comprehensive survey in a session entitled "IT
Security:  The
State of the Practice in Higher Education" which includes findings
regarding
security awareness on Thursday, 8:10 a.m. - 9:00 a.m.

     I look forward to seeing many of you in Anaheim and look
forward

to learning more about your campus security awareness efforts.
