15. Player is Incident
Commander or subordinate
crisis responder. Responds
to events with choices that
should mirror Department of
Justice NICS doctrine.
• Tactical Map set in player’s
home county
• ICS “hints” throughout
gameplay
• Coordination and
communication required for
success
• Full-scale training is
unaffordable for small
jurisdictions*
• Permits widespread
distribution to many users*
*88% of all jurisdictions are
considered to be small.
Incident Commander
Recommendation: Emphasize human-to-
human computer mediated
communication, interaction and learning.
16. Virtual U models the attitudes and
behaviors of the academic
community in five major areas of
higher education anagement:
• Spending and income decisions
such as operating budget, new
hires, incoming donations, and
management of the endowment;
• Faculty, course, and student
scheduling issues;
• Admissions standards, university
prestige, and student enrollment;
• Student housing, classrooms, and
all other facilities; and
• Performance indicators.

Produced by the
United Nations'
World Food
Programme, Kids join
a team of emergency
aid workers to save
the fictitious island of
Sheylan from
starvation caused by
drought and civil
war.
The team goes on six
missions to help save
the island. The
additional missions
cleverly use games to
demonstrate how
emergency aid teams
acquire food, make
food packs, deliver
food and establish
long-term food
supplies.

45. Through mixing
realities, research is
expanding the potential
of embedded training
in the field and in
battle labs to provide
integrated training
anytime, anywhere.
Advancements are
being transferred
across industries
from business
prototypes to
hospitality training.
Integrated research in
tracking, registration,
rendering, display, and
scenario delivery are
expanding the
possibilities of
CONSTRUCTIVE
simulation as well as
after action review, and
command and control
visualizations.

73. Future Warrior Exhibits Super Powers
By Phil Copeland
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, July 27, 2004
"Warrior Physiological Status
Monitoring System gives the
soldier's body core
temperature, skin
temperature, heart rate,
whether the soldier is standing
or prone, and how much water
the soldier has drunk…" DeGay
said. The uniform from the waist
down will have a robotic-
powered system that is
connected directly to the soldier.
This system could use pistons to
actually replicate the lower body,
giving the soldier "upwards of
about 300 percent greater
lifting and load-carriage
capability," DeGay said. "We
are looking at potentially
mounting a weapon directly to
the uniform system and now the
soldier becomes a walking
gun platform."

89. Texas Cluster Initiative -
Workforce
60% of the jobs in the Texas
biotechnology cluster require only
an associates degree or certificate.
The reality is many of the Texas
Cluster’s high-tech jobs are split
between requirements for
community and technical college
degrees and 4-year degrees.
Skilled technical jobs are attainable
and critically needed by industry. Dr. Mae Jemison,

105. Utilities
A California study indicates that peak-rate usage can be shaved by 20
percent if utilities used Automated Meter Reading (ARM) for accurate
pricing information--each megawatt of reduction can equate to $400,000 in
savings per year (Jackson, 2004, p. 1) saving California utilities and
consumers at least $5 billion a year.
http://www.utilitiesproject.com/documents.asp?grID=85&d_ID=2402
More than 25 million AMR
units installed on gas (21
percent), water (11 percent),
and electric utility (16
percent) meters.
200 million units yet to be
changed out to AMR
(Jackson, 2004).
