Research expertise
The research area that I have operated within since the beginning of my postgraduate studies is broadly encompassed by C4 photosynthesis and carbon partitioning.
Between 1993 and 2007, a major focus of my research has been the development of a fundamental understanding of carbon metabolism/ photoassimilate partitioning and more specifically sucrose transport processes at the more detailed cellular level in the key food and biofuel crop sugarcane. By the application of a directed EST sequencing approach undertaken on the major sucrose storage organ in sugarcane, the stem, a number of ESTs encoding novel transporters were identified and full length cDNA sequences isolated. Three putative hexose transporters have been immunolocalised to the phloem of maturing internodes of the stem and an increase in expression of these transporters coincided with the logarithmic increase in sucrose concentration. The single sucrose transporter identified to date exhibited a novel localisation pattern being present in the cell layer surrounding the vascular bundles and showed a strong spike in expression at the initiation of the logarithmic phase of sucrose accumulation. The development of a high level of expertise in functional characterisation of sugar transporters has been realised through substantial collaboration travel awards from Federal Department of Industry Science and Technology and the Australian Academy of Science. Visits to work in the laboratories of premier transport researchers Professor Wolf Frommer, (University of Tuebingen, Germany and Carnegie Institute, Stanford University, USA) and Dr John Ward, (University of Minnesota) has resulted in functional characterisation of the sugarcane sucrose transporter in heterologous systems including yeast and Xenopus laevis oocytes. In addition to researching sucrose transport, I also have considerable expertise in improving transformation and transgene expression in recalcitrant plant species, skills essential for implementing genetic manipulations in order to dissect the role of candidate genes.
In 2008 I began developing a new research platform using Sorghum as a model biofuels feedstock. In addition to investigating sucrose transport mechanisms I have extended the scope of photoassimilate partitioning to include cell wall construction/deconstruction and composition. My group is currently undertaking leading edge research in the development of FTIR and FPA-FTIR as tools for detailed investigation of cereal grass cell wall composition and the development of predictive models of digestibility using spectral analysis. The application of ionic liquids as a novel and efficient means of biomass pre-treatment for the production of second generation biofuels is also currently being investigated.

I was in elementary school entertaining myself with some extra reading projects during quiet time. (I suppose my poor teacher was desperate for quiet, as I received the whispers too much in class comment on nearly every report card of my elementary school career.)

IMO you can't go wrong with a Mora. It's my EDC knife and has been for 15 years. I have a multi tool as well, and I may be the minority here, but if I only have 1 choice, I'll take the Mora hands down.
I've had many multi-tools over the years by Gerber, Leatherman, Schrade, and Victorinox. The one that lasted the longest and took the most abuse was the Schrade believe it or not. The Gerber broke after a couple months and the Leatherman felt clunky to use.. but I don't remember which one it was since it's been years.
Personally, I've found an amazing job saw by Milwaukee that allows you to use sawzall blades and it's well built saw and packs light. With my Mora, my job saw, and a decent awl there's little else that I need for just about any situation I could find myself in.
But again, if I could only have 1, it would definitely be a Mora Classic #2.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Treatment Overview
Regular exercise, a healthy diet, weight control, and not smoking are all important parts of treatment for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). You may also take medicine to balance your hormones.
Treatments depend on your symptoms and whether you are planning a pregnancy.
There is no cure for PCOS, but controlling it lowers your risks of infertility, miscarriages, diabetes, heart disease, and Reference uterine cancer Opens New Window.
Healthy lifestyle
- If you are overweight, weight loss may be all the treatment you need. A small amount of weight loss is likely to help balance your hormones and start up your menstrual cycle and ovulation.
- Eat a balanced diet that includes lots of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products.
- Get regular exercise to help you control or lose weight and feel better.
- If you smoke, consider quitting. Women who smoke have higher levels of Reference androgens Opens New Window than women who don't smoke.Reference 1
For more information, see Reference Home Treatment.
Hormone therapy
If weight loss alone doesn't start ovulation (or if you don't need to lose weight), your doctor may have you try a medicine such as Reference metformin or Reference clomiphene to help you start to ovulate.
If you aren't planning a pregnancy, you can also use hormone therapy to help control your ovary hormones. To correct menstrual cycle problems, birth control hormones keep your Reference endometrial lining Opens New Window from building up for too long. This can prevent uterine cancer.
Hormone therapy also can help with male-type hair growth and acne. Birth control pills, patches, or vaginal rings are prescribed for hormone therapy. Androgen-lowering Reference spironolactone (Aldactone) is often used with combined hormonal birth control. This helps with hair loss, acne, and male-pattern hair growth on the face and body (hirsutism).
You can use other methods to treat acne and remove excess hair. For more information, see Reference Home Treatment.
Taking hormones doesn't help with heart, blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes risks. This is why exercise and a healthy diet are key parts of your treatment.
To learn more about hormones, see Reference Medications.
If weight loss and medicine don't restart ovulation, you may want to try other treatments. For more information, see the topic Reference Fertility Problems.
Regular checkups
Regular checkups are important for catching any PCOS complications, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, uterine cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.

Chapter 1: | Constitutional Law and Slavery |
The overarching priority of creating the republic merely forestalled an eventual reckoning with the Constitutional Convention's most divisive issue. Expectations that slavery would die a natural death proved to be misplaced. With Congress unable to ban participation in the international slave trade for twenty years, a window of opportunity was created to secure and grow the institution. From the time of the Constitution's ratification to the outbreak of the Civil War, slavery was a major growth industry. The controversy, which was deferred for purposes of creating the union, intensified rather than abated over the next several decades and eventually became the basis for the republic's undoing.1
Central to the institution's existence was the premise that slaves, mostly African Americans, were inferior beings. This rationalization provided cover for the real interest of maintaining the advantage of a system of free labor.
Figure 1.1. Pictured here is a storefront slave market in Atlanta. Between 1790 and 1860, the slave population in the United States increased from approximately seven hundred thousand to nearly four million.

As Intel continue to craft Atom into the phone and tablet market it makes sense that they explore all avenues for the core. The 'netbook' wave is over but that doesn't mean there aren't spaces for Atom to be fitting into. Low cost and low power computing is one of them. Open-source computing is another and it looks like Intel is heading in all of these directions with the Balboa Pier platform and the Valley View Atom/HD graphics SoC inside it.
The Verge have pulled together some good information sources on the new platform.
Being a 22nm SoC, it's going to be small. There are going to be 1-4 core variants and it 4x the graphics performance that looks like it's going to be based around Ivy Bridge.
You can track through all the links at The Verge for more information but I wouldn't get too excited about this appearing in laptops just yet. The main source here is an industrial module manufacturer so we could be talking about an embedded solution. It's a Q1 2013 solution too. It would, however, make some sense to offer a low-cost PC platform with open-source graphics drivers, something that the Ivy Bridge in-house graphics would enable. That would open up the platform to Chrome OS and other Linux-based PC solutions. It might also help Android open-source solutions on X86. Netbooks for the emerging markets could be a target too.
Without a TDP figure it's difficult to work out if this could go into Windows 8 tablets and where it sits against Clover Trail W but considering Sandy Bridge has already worked its way into the Samsung XE700, why not. 4-cores are needed in the tablet sector just for the marketing teams!

All audio experts agree that two subwoofers are better than one. With the fervor of a Star Wars nut explaining the Force, they'll tell you how using two subs makes bass response smoother for multiple listeners. But don't worry; it's easy to get the experts to clam up -- just ask them for an easy way to fine-tune the performance of two subs.
Optimizing one sub for one listening position is a piece of cake. Put the sub in your favorite listening chair, play some music or test tones with a wide variety of bass notes, crawl around the floor until you find the spot where the bass sounds the most even, and install the sub in that spot.
But with two subs, all bets are off. Well, some bets are off. If you have a rectangular room, you can get great results by putting the subs in the front corners of the room, or centered on opposite walls. Who has a rectangular room, though? In a real (i.e., non-rectangular) room, achieving ideal bass response means equalizing one or both subwoofers - which usually means taking lots of measurements, making lots of adjustments, and knowing what you're doing in the first place.
Finally, a subwoofer maker has created a way to double without trouble. Velodyne's SC-602 houses two 200-watt digital amplifiers that power two separate subwoofers. The amp incorporates an automatic five-band equalizer to correct for the effects of room modes. Simply hook up the subs and amp; put the included calibration mic in your listening position; and hold the EQ button on the remote control for a few seconds. The amp automatically emits test tones, measures the level of these tones through the microphone, and adjusts itself accordingly.

Ryan Mac Donald went down to the Treyarch studios to show off 2 hours of Call of Duty: Black Ops II Multiplayer gameplay.
so why have i been directed here to watch this shit after clicking on a link for watching a torchlight 2 video ??
@blakeney not when the link clearly read "video of a level 100 beserker" on the torchlight 2 page ....
try it yourself, watch the video review then when its finished click the upnext video called "Tourchlight II level 100 Beserker veteran"
First COD game I'll let fly. I can only take so much milking of a genre. My wallet has spoken!
is this really Blops2 or is it just a new video of Black Ops 1? I can't tell the difference.
What the fuck is with the HUD? Way to cluttered in my opinion.
But just for everyone arguing in the comments, CoD, Halo, and BF are completely different games and comparing them is fucking stupid. Buy the games or don't, just shut the hell up and enjoy shooting your friends in the face...virtually.
I personally like moh better just for the experience and gameplay. Its always had a meatier and heavier feel and the sound surpasses CoD easily. Story is iffy, but multiplayer is all these war shooter games are good for. If your looking for story from an FPS jump on over to Half-Life or Halo.
If I hear 1 more person say that CoD is the same game wrapped up new every year I'm going to gouge my eyes out. Can we please just put this issue to rest. The game changes little every year it's true... but, maybe that's becasue it's fun and it sells more than evey other game every year. Who spends their time commenting on things they hate? Guess what, I don't like Halo and you know how many times I've written garbage about Halo... none (well, up til now anyway.) I don't understand this obsession with writing all this negativity. If you don't like it, don't comment. Part of me believes half of these "haters" just troll around the forums but still pick the game up at midnight release. Just please lets grow up. Play i and comment if you are interested in the games, and don't even bother to write the same thing we've heard a million times before if you truly dont like the series. I for one love the games.
CoD is the same game wrapped up new every year. Time to gouge your eyes out bitchboy, let me hand you a fork.
I can't understand why people who hate CoD, will come watch and comment on CoD vids. If you hate it that bad, keep playing your beloved BF3, or Halo 4.
@Hiraishin I don't play niether but I wouldn't say I hate CoD but I do dislike it. It is the same game wrapped in a different box like Madden, and I don't think it deserves it's praise. I did like the zombies online that was fun but the fan boys of CoD is a result from social engineering techniques thought up from corporate structure execs turning you guys into sheep.
@micscience I agree it doesn't deserve the praise its getting.
But to all the people who go out of their way to write negative comments. I say,
Don't like it, don't play it.
Don't like, won't play it, and will still continue to speak out about it!
well, no doubt going to be playing this for the next few months. said it will be here tm woot http://tiny.cc/a1honw
I couldn't make it past 6 minutes. The team they was spectating sucks. And I'm not even that great at CoD.... I mean seriously. I watch them just run right past the enemy like 10 times and the enemy kills them.....
Is it more or does this come off like Mw3? I was looking forward to this game since Nov last year when i was disappointed in mw3. I returned to black ops to wait a year to now see mw3 all over again in Bops2...
Is it just me?
wow this game looks terrible. The graphics look so bad like usual and the gameplay looks exactly the same
lol ahhhh just as i thought. same game as the last. i will not be picking this up.
They need to make the legs or feet come off if they step on a mine. If i shoot an enemy with a rocket I wanna see flying limbs, it worked in CODW@W, it can work better here.
you better believe i'll be playing this for the next 3 months and turning my cell phone off http://tiny.cc/rpynnw
This comment has been deleted
@cryingdevil63 @Bigbybear I still post on these and watch these in hopes they will change or decide to innovate. Though i should of given up hope long ago.
@Bigbybear CODW@W was a step up from COD4. Black Ops was good, but the campaign was too short. I thin you mean, the MW games have been utter dogshit.
Yet you wanted so badly to watch the gameplay video? Maybe you're just too bad or too dumb to play a game of this caliber. I mean your choice of language definitely does reflects your intelligence level.
@Vitex2003 Its graphics are nowhere near good lol Not saying it is the main focus but the textures are awful.
JUST STOPPPP!!!!! THE WHINING, SLAMMING,RAGING OVER A GAME YOU DON'T PLAY. It has reached a certain level of pettiness, that takes effort to achieve. No one in their right mind plays COD for the looks, you play games for a fun challenge, and that is what COD sells is that fun challenge. Every time I read a comment that is negative, that first thing that comes to mind is , " wow, how sad"
You hate the game?, fine, but the argument that anyone plays COD for the looks does nothing more significant then label themselves as EPICALLY PATHETIC
So I think this same arguement could be expressed about oh I dunno know... Pac-man... WHO CARES ABOUT GRAPHICS AND INNOVATION, I WANT THE FUN CHALLENGE! Throwing rocks at a stop sign is a fun challenge, but it doesn't mean you should charge 60 bucks for it and call it the best new thing out there... Just saying dude...
I have to admit, I'm at a loss for words. Throwing rocks at a stop sign is a fun challenge? True I suppose they could rebound and in turn bounce off your face but, other than that how is that a relevant analogy? And to your other comment of "best thing out there" let's not get ahead of ourselves, cause I sure as hell never said that.
@CallMeDuraSouka I think most people are like me. Angry at the game for what it has brought to the market.Angry for what it has done to the fps genre.Angry for the fact it caused fps to boom and be the main games that get the most sales these days. And Angry for it feeding the casual market.
Oh and i forgot to mention angry at it never innovating since MW1.Hell they use a modified engine that was used since then that is just a modified COD 3 engine.
I've played the last two BF iteraitions, and no matter how you frame those games, despite the frostbite upgrade, you are still doing the same thing. We could both argue till were blue in the face, but shooter's are shooters and there is only so far you can take it. Graphics sure as hell won't change that. I think thats why Natural Selection 2 is being dry humped as we speak, bout the only new direction to go with fps.
@CallMeDuraSouka BF2 Bad Company was a step forward in a full campaign for the BF series and it's multiplayer was very solid.
BF 3 was a step back on the campaign and can be argued a step forward for multiplayer.
However each game before those two brought new things to the BF games and often were drastically different in feel.
Cod However has been the same for a longer period of time which is why it deserves it's ridicule.Just as well the map pack fiasco, Elite, and so on.
CoD symbolizes alot more than just a game.It symbolizes corporate greed at it's finest in the gaming market.

Route du Vin, Alsace
An attractive way of getting to know Alsace is to follow the Route du Vin, the Alsatian Trail, which runs west, parallel to N422, from Marlenheim (west of Strasbourg) via Obernai and Colmar to Thann (west of Mulhouse), passing through a series of picturesque Alsatian villages. The main trunk road which runs over the Rhine plain from Strasbourg to Colmar and Mulhouse is to be recommended only to travelers in a hurry.

The Romanesque and Gothic church of St-Léger, which dates from the Hohenstaufen period, has fine sculpture on the central doorway. The church of Notre-Dame (18th C) is one of the few Baroque churches in Alsace and has fine carved woodwork. The Dominican church (14th C) has a cycle of frescoes, and there is a museum in the choir. The atomic physicist Alfred Kastler (Nobel Prize 1966) was born in Guebwiller.
North-west of Guebwiller is the famous Romanesque Benedictine abbey of Murbach, which in the eighth and ninth centuries was the cultural center of Upper Alsace and one of its most powerful lordships. All that survives is the towers, transept and choir of the abbey church, which ranks with Marmoutier and Rosheim as one of the oldest and most important monuments of Romanesque architecture in Alsace.
Lautenbach, France
The village of Lautenbach, near Guebwiller, has a Romanesque church, with a fine pulpit, richly carved choir-stalls and beautiful windows (16th century). Adjoining the church is a 16th century cloister.
Thann, France
Thann (pop. 8,033), at the southern end of the Route du Vin, attracts many holidaymakers with its beautiful situation at the mouth of the narrow Thur valley. Although an industrial town, other features of interest in Thann are its old half-timbered houses, remains of its walls, the Witches' Tower (Tour des Sorcières) and the Storks' Tower (Tour des Cigognes). The old Cornmarket, a handsome 16th C building, now houses the Museum of Alsatian History.
St Thiébault
In the center of Thann is the church of St-Thiébault, the most important Gothic building in Alsace after Strasbourg Cathedral. The very fine tower, 76m/250ft high, is modeled on the tower of Freiburg Cathedral (southwest Germany).

President Obama has finally given the dreaded sequester some attention. The $1.2 trillion package of spending cuts — designed to be so punitive that neither party would ever allow them to phase in — is scheduled to take effect March 1. Congress, the president suggested Tuesday, should put it off for a few months, offsetting it with a mix of better-targeted spending cuts and overdue revisions to the tax code that would raise some money. Lawmakers can make more sweeping policy changes in budget negotiations later this year, he said, and permanently turn off the sequester then.
The president's plan is inadequate but not for the reasons Republicans claim.
In an interview broadcast Sunday, Obama said, correctly, "Washington cannot continually operate under the cloud of crisis." Just running up to the sequester costs the government millions of dollars in federal projects disrupted, contracts canceled and budget contingencies planned, then replanned, as well as the sorts of preemptive spending reductions that contributed to last quarter's surprise economic contraction.
Yet pushing back the sequester's start date, as Obama proposed, would arrange for more terrible uncertainty. Perhaps that's all he can hope to accomplish before March 1. But it's no way to run a government.
Republican leaders should have pointed that out, criticized the president for failing to speak up earlier on the sequester, blasted Obama for declining to aim for a bigger deal before March 1 and then offered to strike a more ambitious bargain based on realistic negotiations. Instead, House Speaker John Boehner, Ohio, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Ky., insisted that the only way to deal with the sequester is their way. They would not accept even a modest delay if it were financed with any new increases in federal revenue, they indicated. Their reaction echoes the view that it's not "balanced" to replace sequester spending cuts with anything but other spending cuts.
But there's no justification, beyond Republican ideological preference, for an all-spending-cuts approach to dealing with this. In 2011, politicians could not agree on how to reduce deficits — cuts, revenue or both? — so they promised to come up with something later and to punish themselves with sequestration if they failed. When lawmakers do finally hammer out a path to the deficit reduction the sequester demands, it's more likely that the principle of "balance" would be violated if revenue increases were not included.
The Republicans' position harms not only the effort to compromise on the sequester but also the broader budget debate. Given the size of projected budget imbalances, the political and mathematical necessity of new revenue should be taken as a given. Until Republicans accept that, they can't achieve — or credibly demand — the large deficit reduction they claim to want.

The Old Lady
No, that's not a derogatory term for Bernard Hinault, although he did win La Doyenne twice. The 'Old Lady', Liège-Bastogne-Liège, is the oldest Classic in cycle racing and, presumably, when you've completed all 260km of this tough Monument, you probably feel like an elderly lady.
First held in 1894, the race takes place in the rolling, forested Ardennes region of southern Belgium, the same area where the Flèche Wallonne is ridden. Until recently Liège-Bastogne-Liège took place on the same weekend as the Flèche, which World Champ, Cadel Evans, rode past Contador to win on Wednesday.
Andy Schleck won it last year and the Saxo Bank rider will be keen to bag the top spot again. However, Contador will also be looking to make his mark after failing to poach victory on Wednesday. Oh and someone called Lance Armstrong is also reported to be racing on Sunday.

I did ride my own version of La Doyenne this Sunday. I came across the peleton twice and looked Andy in the eyes. He looked hungry, hungry to victory over Contador I guess?
I did climb the Redoute in the morning and took a picture of what was surprising me most that day. See it at:
People being there at 10 in the morning. Men drinking beer, women having a tea. Priceless experience.

Expect to make progress now, but only in a very limited area. Be patient and stick with familiar routines. There might be an argument that clears the air. Avoid getting upset in front of customers or co-workers. Some aspects bring challenges. Talk about difficulties with someone you trust. The time is productive for public events, marketing, and group projects. Superiors appreciate your calm good sense. Older women can give excellent advice.

The RAM-VB-106R4-SW1 Vehicle System is the perfect starting point for building your own vehicle mount. As part of the No Drill Vehicle Mount range, this mount has been designed specifically for use in the following vehicles:
The RAM 1.5" dia. Socket End is open for you to design the perfect mount for your application. You can connect any of the RAM 1.5" dia. Rubber Balls Plates to the Socket giving you the power to mount pretty much anything.
The No Drill Steel Plate Base installs quickly and easily to the existing bolts connecting the passengers seat to the vehicle floor. The base plate mounts in a position to maximize the passengers leg space while also creating a foundation for the RAM telescoping tele-pole.
The tele-pole has a height range of 12 to 18 inches and is easily adjusted by turning the knob at the top of the post. Once the knob has been tightened, the tele-pole becomes a rigid support for the mounting system. Connected to the top of the tele-pole is a double swing arm system which includes two 6 inch long arms joined with a hand adjustable knob. The arms allow easy movement and positioning of the mounting system for either the driver or the passenger.
NOTE: Laptop and Laptop tray shown in the picture is not included.
[1] The 4" riser is connected to the vehicle base plate facing forward when installed correctly in the Buick Rendezvous. When installed in the Dodge Sprinter Van, the 4" riser will connect facing to the left.

Casino in our area worth talking about
If Gov. Andrew Cuomo has his way, casinos will be awarded to three upstate locations.
Public financing could cure pols' paranoia
Paranoia is an irrational fear of persons, places or events that have no basis in reality.
Resort proposal is just too big
Belleayre Mountain Ski Center is a New York state taxpayer-owned recreational area. People who have paid for BMSC with their hard-earned dollars should not have to also pay for the infrastructure necessary to assure an enjoyable ski experience for the visitors to a private developer's monster mega-mall/spa resort on a mountaintop.
Take precautions to prevent kidnappings
It has been nearly two weeks since the arrest of Ariel Castro in Cleveland on rape and kidnapping charges for acts that should send a chill through the spines of everyone in America.
Redistributing wealth just isn't fair
Yesterday a dozen of us were eating lunch in the break room where I work, most of us complaining that all we could afford was peanut butter and jelly and bologna ... except for Rob.
Hoping many will adopt a grave
It's that time of year again; adopt a grave. I am hoping when you buy flowers or a plant for a family member or friend's grave that you will buy some for another grave. I wish everyone would open up their heart and honor someone else by putting flowers on their grave. My hope is that groups, families and youth groups adopt a cemetery or a grave, and at least once a year that person or persons will be remembered. I started out with two and now am up to 14. It doesn't have to be expensive; just what your heart tells you to do.

After the recent actions of the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Justice Department, belief in the integrity of our government is hanging by a very slender thread.

To three longtime public servants who recently announced their decisions to leave their posts.
What will happen when Manor is gone?
I'm writing this letter as I was unable to attend the Otsego County's board meeting in regards to the sale of the Otsego Manor. My grandmother is 75 and resides at the Otsego Manor; she has for the last three years. The county has a lien on her home to recoup money that they have spent out in regards to Medicaid. My family does not mind this as we are thankful the staff is able to provide the care we cannot.
We must move ahead to thrive
Recently, we had some compelling letters and opinions on the gas industry and how it can benefit local economies. Marie Lusins' letter explained how the Manor home and its woes could be, or could have been saved with vertical-well gas drilling.

Military culture of abuse must change
Public scrutiny crucial to governing
We in Delaware County are often asked by Otsego County residents why there is not a stronger county-wide response to fracking or pipelines or the closing of county homes.
Pa.'s water troubles may help New York
The biggest concern I hear from my neighbors about New York state developing natural gas has to do with drinking water protection.

Remember mothers on their day
Passenger trains could ride again
It has been in the news recently about how more and more people are riding on Amtrak trains these days. I wish there were more passenger trains nationwide. Passenger trains have not gone through Oneonta since the early 1960s. At that time, the automobile took over and our new interstate highway system was formed.
Pipeline won't spell destruction of park
I live in the city of Oneonta. There are sewer lines, gas lines and telephone poles surrounding me. The street my house is on has constant vehicle traffic, joggers and walkers. Even so, I have to treat all of my flowers and shrubs to prevent the deer from eating them. (Even on my front porch and rear deck.) There are lots of birds. There would probably be more if the squirrels did not eat the bird seed. I must be careful not to leave a door ajar or the chipmunks will come into my house. Daily, I see rabbits, raccoons, woodchucks, wild turkeys, skunks and fox. Last year, I think I even saw a coy dog.

How hacking got easy
When it comes to security, public disclosure of vulnerabilities and working exploit code is now common. We look at why this can be both harmful and helpful to securing your systems.
Last month, I wrote about the DNS security issues, and I included examples of how to exploit it before the magazine went to print [1]. Since then, a friend and I were discussing how exploitable the DNS issue actually was – I said it was relatively easy to exploit, and he thought that it would be difficult at best.
We both stuck to our guns until he said, "If you think it's so easy, go write exploit code for it." My reply was, "Why bother? Someone will write exploit code or a Metasploit module for it within a few days or weeks and release it publicly," which they did.
This is an interesting change of events – years ago, I would have tried to create a working exploit or traded a favor with someone who knew a guy who knew a guy that had exploit code for it. Now I'm willing to wait a few days or weeks for someone to create and release exploit code publicly, probably in any easy-to-use form, such as a Metasploit module.

Everyone will talk to everyone, regardless if they know each other or not. Everyone is very friendly, which makes it an enjoyable atmosphere. There is also a strong sense of trust on campus. If you lose something, you can bet that someone will return it. Classes arent that bad either. Homework isn't as intense as some other colleges, but grading is still quite tough.
