- CPB: ECONOMISCH HERSTEL MOEIZAAM EN ONZEKERDe verwachte economische groei in Nederland blijft in 2003 en 2004 duidelijk achter bij de gemiddelde groei voor de Europese Unie.

Dat zei directeur Don van het Centraal Plan Bureau (CPB) bij de presentatie van het Centraal Economisch Plan (CEP) 2003. |

- Publishing a project weblog. Configuring Movable Type A couple of years ago I predicted that Weblogs would emerge within the enterprise as a great way to manage project communication. I'm even more bullish on the concept today. If you're managing an IT project, you are by definition a communication hub. Running a project Weblog is a great way to collect, organize, and publish the documents and discussions that are the lifeblood of the project and to shape these raw materials into a coherent narrative. |

- MS-NBC - ID theft costs banks $1 billion a year. Report: There's no way to positively identify new customers March 26 -- Banks lost at least $1 billion to identity thieves last year, according to a report issued Tuesday by TowerGroup Inc. While only an estimate, it is one of the first attempts to put a detailed price tag on what has been called the nation's fastest growing crime. What's more, the report asserts, banks have no way of telling whether new customers applying for a loan or credit card are actually who they say they are. |

- Perle Offers to Resign from Defense Policy Board WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Richard Perle, an architect of the U.S.-led war on Iraq, offered to resign as chairman of a Pentagon advisory panel, according to a letter obtained by Reuters on Thursday. Noting criticism of a possible conflict of interest over his roles as corporate adviser and Defense Department consultant, Perle wrote to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, "As I cannot quickly or easily quell criticism of me based on errors of fact concerning my activities, the least I can do under these circumstances is to ask you to accept my resignation as chairman of the Defense Policy Board." The letter was dated Wednesday. |
