Thanks to all....Dean and Gottfried 

 TO OUR READERS: WE NEED YOUR FEEDBACK:

	Complexity Digest was founded in 1999 to promote networking of the complexity
community by using the Internet to link to electronic publications related to
Complexity. And we may have contributed to its present status where complexity,
multi-disciplinary, dynamic studies are accepted parts of any academic field and
are used to solve problems....although often with a different lexicon.

Are we serving our market...you, the readers? In bringing webcasts to you of
meetings we cannot all attend, does that help you? Are we pointing out
literature that you want to explore more thoroughly?

And most important to those of us who work each week to bring ComDig to you,
what should we be doing now to strengthen the Complexity network?

You can help by participating in this short survey......thanks.

Excerpts: Since the passage of the USA Patriot Act of 2001, the federal
government has distributed more than $8 billion to help local police
departments, firefighters and emergency medical technicians pay for equipment
and training to prepare for terrorist attacks, including nuclear, radiological,
chemical or biological strikes. In our report, the 9/11 commission recommended
that this assistance "be based strictly on an assessment of risks and
vulnerabilities." It seemed obvious to us that national security resources
should be deployed where the threat is greatest.
