On April 27th, Prof. Risa Brooks published an op-ed article in the Boston Globe titled "Homegrown Terrorism is Not on the Rise." The article complements her previous work on the level of threat to Americans posed by "homegrown" Muslim terrorists. The text of the op-ed piece is available here.
On April 19th and 20th, Political Science Department Chair Lowell Barrington was interviewed regarding the backgrounds of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects on WISN-12 and WTMJ-4. Barrington, whose research focuses on the territory of the former Soviet Union, discussed the suspects' connections to the Russian regions of Chechnya and Dagestan. The video of the WISN-12 interview is available here.
On April 16th, Ambassador Guillermo Rishchynski, Permanent Representative of Canada to the United Nations, spoke to Marquette Political Science students in three different settings. In the morning and early afternoon, he presented to and fielded questions from students in two Political Science Courses (International Security and International Organizations), before his late-afternoon presentation to an overflow crowd of students and faculty on the topic "The UN: From Canadian Eyes." The Department of Political Science thanks Ambassador Rishchynski for sharing his significant expertise with our students.
Dr. Susan Giaimo, Director of Graduate Studies for the Political Science and International Affairs M.A. programs, participated in a panel about health care exchanges and whether they will help Wisconsinites find affordable medical insurance.

Charles Franklin, nationally recognized political scientist and director of the Marquette Law School Poll, will be the next guest for "On the Issues with Mike Gousha," Tuesday, May 14, from 12:15 to 1:15 p.m. in Eckstein Hall, 1215 W. Michigan St.
Franklin and Gousha will go inside the numbers of the latest Marquette Law School Poll, which will look at public views on national and state issues including health care reform, vouchers and public schools, job creation efforts and Wisconsin budget priorities--including transportation, tax cuts, borrowing and schools. The new poll also will give an early read on perceptions of potential 2016 presidential candidates.
Under the leadership of Franklin, a professor of Political Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison since 1992, the Marquette Law School Poll provided a comprehensive, independent survey of voter attitudes in Wisconsin during the historic 2012 election year. It was the largest independent polling project in state history and accurately captured voter attitudes before every major election in 2012, including the gubernatorial recall and the primary and general election for the presidency and the U.S. Senate.
Seating is limited; registration is available online. For those who cannot attend in person, all "On the Issues" events are streamed live online at the following website, which also contains a catalog of past guests.

THREE new councillors will take their places around the table when Corangamite Shire resumes business for the next four years.
Wayne Oakes and Neil Trotter won their places after facing elections at the weekend while Peter Harkin's seat was uncontested.
Corangamite is the only council in the south-west to continue with a ward tructure, with the Terang and Camperdown-based central ward having three councillors and the other four wards a single councillor each.
Mr Oakes is the new representative for the central ward, taking over from Michael Absalom who has retired. He described his win as "very humbling".
"It's very exciting and it's a huge honour. I think wow — what an absolute privilege."
Mr Oakes spent time at the Camperdown Cruise on Saturday before heading across to Glenormiston College where the results were announced that evening. "I've never looked at my watch so many times during the day," he admitted.
Mr Oakes, who has never attended a Corangamite council meeting, said he was looking forward to the challenges of the next four years.
He lists the need for more doctors and the establishment of a quality tourist information centre in Camperdown as two of his main aims. A big picture idea is to create a new transport hub in the town, with a fast-rail service to send fresh produce from south-west farms to Avalon's proposed international airport and then direct into Asian markets by the following day.
It has been a busy year for Mr Oakes who retired from the police force in July after 35 years' service and welcomed his first grandson, Herbie, in September.
Long-serving councillor Ruth Gstrein topped the poll, winning 35 per cent of the primary vote in the central ward. She was unavailable for comment yesterday.
Cr Chris O'Connor, who was also well supported with 32 per cent of the vote, described facing a council election as "a bit like a pressure situation".
"It's a bit like a game of footy really. You can be 10 goals in front in the last quarter but there's always that sense of nervousness there." He thanked the central ward voters for putting their trust in him for another tilt.
"It's a job where you're not sure who you've upset in the last term … but I feel more enthusiastic than ever and I've probably got a really good handle on it now".
Cr O'Connor said he was now keen to put his hand up to take on the role of mayor after the retirement of Matt Makin.
Chris Maguire, who was unsuccessful in his second attempt at council, expected to pick up more than the five per cent of votes he finished with. "I covered a lot of area and the feedback I got was that people were fairly dissatisfied with the council but when the results came out they still voted for the status quo."
Mr Maguire said he was unlikely to stand for a seat in the future.
The other unsuccessful central ward candidate, Rob Fleming, a former Camperdown town councillor, did not return calls yesterday.
Neil Trotter will take over Cr Makin's south-west ward position after defeating Simone Renyard 854 votes to 597. Mr Trotter said he enjoyed the campaign, and while he was not overconfident, thought he may have had the numbers.
He has previously taken the council to task over issues around tourism and coastal development but his campaigning also found major concerns from residents about the condition of arterial roads, rate increases and problems with roadside vegetation and weeds.
Mr Trotter predicted a "huge issue" for the new council would be the push to gain a greater slice of recurrent funding for arterial roads that were falling into disrepair.
He is also worried about the financial impact on the shire if the state government introduces more changes to planning schemes.
"If the minister brings in new initiatives and rules, there is uncertainty in planning and this is a real disincentive to investors. It is then up to local councils to take it to VCAT and create a test case."
Mr Trotter paid tribute to Cr Makin, saying while he had differences of opinion with him on several issues, he had been a good advocate for road funding, Timboon's new childcare centre, industries and businesses and the needs of farmers.
Simone Renyard said yesterday she was very disappointed but had no regrets about standing.
"I am really humbled by all the support from family, friends and supporters in the area," Mrs Renyard said. She pledged to keep a close eye on the new council and urged it to take up issues she campaigned on such as attracting more families to the area, sustainable growth, lobbying for increase road funding and closer links between the shire and Warrnambool.
Cr Geoff Smith, who has represented the north ward for 24 years, was re-elected unopposed for another term while Cr Jo Beard will resume her south-central ward position after a two-year term.
Peter Harkin will represent the coastal ward after he was elected unopposed following the resignation of Cr Steve Cumming.

As you can see from the output in Listing 1, you can identify that this is indeed a Windows platform, most likely XP, with service pack 2 or 3 or 2003 server. This type of scan is a fingerprinting scan, which allows you to identify the OS and any services worth testing as closely as possible. The fact that you can pull this much information from a very basic scan alone indicates a low level of protection and a high level of threat. You easily can surmise that there is no local firewall, and that this box hasn't gone through any hardening process.
Although you could run many other types of scans against this box to get more information, you have enough here to continue. You could narrow down whether this is a server through a process of elimination. For example, if this is a desktop, the chances of it running a service like MS SQL or Exchange are very minimal. That said, you have enough here to proceed to the second tool, Nessus.
With Nessus, let's put this box to the test to see just what hackers could do to this box if they got access. Nessus now uses a Web interface, but you still can use the command line if you prefer (remember to read the man pages). For this article though, let's stick with the Web interface. Once you log in to the Web GUI (note: it's a slick interface), click on the scan link to begin configuring a scan.

Once you click add, configure your scan using these basic settings (Figure 5). This will give you a quick scan with minimal impact, which is key on an internal network. You don't want to disrupt network traffic and bring on the wrath of your fellow admins and network engineers.

I think an article on OpenVAS would be a good follow up.
Thank you for this article. A must read !
I'm not really into networking, so being able to use such tools is very convenient to me :)

This is really highly interesting, I tested this on the hosting account used for my website here and I must say the results were more than surprising. You pointed out a few details I never really cared about much. Really simple if you know the problem, which makes being aware even more important. To sum it up: Thanks :)
Today's modular x86 servers are compute-centric, designed as a least common denominator to support a wide range of IT workloads. Those generic, virtualized IT workloads have much different resource optimization requirements than hyperscale and cloud applications. They have resulted in a "one size fits all" enterprise IT architecture that is not optimized for a specific set of IT workloads, and especially not emerging hyperscale workloads, such as web applications, big data, and object storage. In this report, you will learn how shifting the focus from traditional compute-centric IT architectures to an innovative disaggregated fabric-based architecture can optimize and scale your data center.

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Free Webinar: Linux Backup and Recovery
Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Visitors headed to the Indiana State Fair should be happy to hear that every ride on the Midway has gotten a top-to-bottom inspection ahead of time.
Inspectors with the Department of Homeland Security and the Fire Marshal's office were on site this week checking all 46 rides ahead of opening day on Friday.
The newest ride, "Vertigo," was checked for six to eight hours since it is new to the fairgrounds. Other rides had to display annual inspection stickers and get an extra check by inspectors before being approved to ride.
"All the things that make that ride safe have to be operational and working safely," said State Fire Marshal James Greeson.
Chief Inspector Tom Hendricks said that only minor problems had been found. Each was fixed and approved for Friday's opening.
Hendricks reminded riders that there is a yellow sticker on each ride with a hotline number to call if they see a problem. That number is 1-888-203-5020.
Hendricks also said that if you're worried about a ride, take safety in your own hands before you call.
"If they don't feel like it's safe, don't ride it," Hendricks said.
Last year, just one ride had to be shut down mid-fair for a broken belt. That part was fixed and ride reopened.
Under this year's new security measures, there are no changes to ride inspections. Officials said that an inspector would be onsite at all times and rides would be randomly checked throughout the fair.
State fair rides get final safety checks before opening
The Indiana State Fair runs from Aug. 3-Aug. 19 (August 2, 2012) |

Forum Index » GEAR » New Golite Shangri-La 3 owner - Center pole and other options
After seeing the following two vids and reading a lot in forums here and there, I had to check the Golite SL-3 out for myself.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnC8vnIcN4Ihttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGPazJpZbSsI have one on the way and will be looking for a custom inner tent as well as a lighter center pole. I've been to the Bearpaw Wilderness Designs site and will be contacting them. Are there any other good sources for half-sized inner tents? With regards to the center pole. What are the go to sources for sturdy but more compact replacements? I'm not one to use hiking poles so I need a dedicated center pole.This is gonna be cool. :)
Try UK-based OookWorks - Sean has offered ripstop and nylon solo OookNests for the SL3 for a while now, and just today he revealed the two person 2OookNest. He offers all sorts of customization options and he has built a reputation for craftsmanship and excellent customer service.
What's that I hear? Could be the sound of stars aligning. I'll check them out.
Wow, the oooks solomesh for the SL3 looks fantastic. I recently ordered this shelter for family use. Now that I see the vestibule space this inner creates I'm drooling at the thought of using it as a luxurious solo shelter!
Seekoutside, kifaru, and titaniumgoat offer carbon fiber tent poles. The seekoutside one would be my first choice due to its weight and strength; there's a bit about it in the review linked from their page describing the Backcountry Shelter.
Thanks Rakesh. I'd never heard of Seekoutside and it would be cool to source a center pole from a company here in Rockies. I didn't find the review you were talking about though.I don't suppose anyone has the ideal center pole height range for the Shangri-La 3 handy? It's possible that I could have the new inner tent and replacement pole ordered before the SL3 is delivered to me. lol.
No problem, Ron. This is the review I was referring to.I got a center pole from Titanium Goat custom-made for my 'mid, and though it's so light that you'd expect it to be very flimsy, it actually feels quite sturdy when it's rigged up. Seek Outside has a new pole that's stronger and lighter than their earlier model, which I learned about after I got my pole from TiGoat. I think the Seek Outside pole is also lighter than TiGoat's, though TiGoat may have a newer revision also, it has after been almost a year since I got mine from them.
I've never measured the height needed for the pole as I use a trekking pole and extender. I'll set it up at lunch and measures. Do you just want to know the range from fully pinned down to as high as it will go with the straps fully extended? (You could tie on longer guys if you wanted to go higher.) I'm sure you know that you can also go without a pole if you find a nice spot under a tree branch. Like this. :)That's from the GGG outing photo gallery. Pretty funny.
Wow. That looks alien obduction-ish. It's funny but it would be a lot funnier if pals did that to their buddy.Since my last posting I found the page where Golite is selling their center poles and the "regular" has an adjustment range from 58-70". They also list a "long" pole but I'm guessing it's for the SL5, measuring from 66-80".I'd imagine that I'll be raising the fly up to a few inches off the ground. My biggest focus on this will be seeing if it's really worth spending about $150? to replace the Golite pole. It's 320g and is reported to be very strong. I'm waiting to see what the weight of a carbon version would weigh. I emailed Seek Outside to get an estimate on this.Not a lot of trees suitable for supporting a shelter in the kind of places I like going. Evergreens and aspens mostly, if at all. http://www.pbase.com/canyonlands/image/138677358.jpg

You could ask that Grizz to hold it up. :) Personally, unless it's windy and raining sideways, I pitch it as high as possible. The more ventilation the better. And the more room. Even when pitched high, the rain only comes in a bit. And if you pitch in in a grassy area like in that pic, you definitely want as much ventilation as you can get!
The regular length range looks good. I pitched it as high as I normally would and the length was 65.5".
How far above the ground is your regular pitch?My plan is to pitch it an inch or so off the ground to start, then if the wind kicks up, lower it but what do I know at this point? :) We'll have the door open as much as possible.Thanks for checking that out for me!
6-8" I guess. I took it down right after I pitched it. Sorry. Condensation can definitely be an issue. As in any single wall tent. Lots of ventilation is good. One thing about the doors on these if you haven't pitched it yet is it opens up all way to the center so you are exposing a lot of the floor space. Really depends on what you want. And you'll figure out how you like to use it fast enough. Here's a pic that shows how high I pitch it. Use dog for scale. :)
Edited by rlnunix on 03/22/2012 13:58:25 MDT.
When solo and with the dog I'll be in the back of the SL3 as shown in the second vid in my first post at 0:35. By door open as much as possible, I mean the door zipped down a bit from the top to add another vent point as well as up from the bottom a few inches. I look forward to my first outing to get this hammered out.
I own quite a bit of GoLite gear (Jam2, Jam, original Pinnacle, new Pinnacle, Ion, Rush, Shangri-La 2 & a few pieces of clothing) I have enjoyed using all of it & have been very impressed with the quailty of design & construction. However, over the last few months I have purchased & returned three Shangri-La 3s. I love the design, but I finaly gave up ordering & returning them. The Shangri-La 3s I recieved should never made it past quailty control, imho. The sewing was horrible. They could not be pitched tight because of many puckers & meanding seams. One even had atleast three good size holes midway on three large panels. I think these are beautiful structures to look at, inside & out. I still believe it would be a wonderful, what ever the weather throws at you shelter, but I gave up!I certainly hope the Shangri-La 3 you recieve is up to GoLite's usual high standards.But just in case, check it inside & out.
Surprising to hear. I've done a ton of reading and haven't seen any mention of issues with this shelter series. In fact, to the contrary, everyone has been impressed with the fit and finish. Golite is just down the hill about 2.5 hours so if I have any issues I'll be happy to pay them a visit. Thanks for the heads up. I'll be looking it over and will post photos of the my first pitch.
Rakesh: What is the adjuster like on your Ti Goat pole, if you ordered one like that? What does the tubing measure, across? 1"? Smaller?Seek Outside can do a 1" pole with an adjuster, moving in 1" increments and weighing at around 9 ounces. The segment lengths are about 20" long. They have smaller stock but no adjuster sections for it. I don't know if this is the new pole you spoke of.Carrying trekking poles is starting to sound easier but I'm not interested in doing that. In 2009 I did the Tour du Mont Blanc with 37,000 ft of elevation gain and as much loss and thought I might want to buy a set of poles for that trip and did. They remained lashed to my pack most of the time.
I was in REI today and walked by the Brunton Monopod hiking staff/camera stand:http://www.rei.com/product/728693/brunton-monopodOnly the top of the monopod didn't look like the REI picture above (with the aluminum piece) but rather had a molded foam knob, like this:http://www.amazon.com/Brunton-Three-section-Monopod-Binoculars-Transits/dp/B0018LRIPKAnyway, the pole telescopes to 62.5" and weighs less than GoLite's or Kelty's adjustable tarp poles. Part of the weight includes a long foam handle, wrist-strap and a rubber end-cap for the carbide tip. All these things can be removed/cut off to lose a few ounces from the listed weight of 9.5 oz.It's a twist lock pole and some folks here don't like those, but it might be a good option for someone who doesn't carry trekking poles.
62.5" isn't the top range I want for the SL3 and that is 7.5" shorter than the 11oz Golite pole. It may work in other applications though.
It is really surprising that the cf pole is only 2 ounces lighter than the stock golite pole - 9oz and 11oz. I assume the 9oz pole from seekoutside is shorter than the one they list on their site that is up to 82".

Ticket to ride
What ever happened to the long arm of the law? |
A New Mexico state trooper was unknowingly photographed having sex with a woman on the hood of her car*. He had pulled her over for having a suspended panty, and then engaged in what appears to be improper use of a vehicle. His trusty K9 chihuahua helped to subdue the suspect and stood guard to prevent her escape. The officer then gave her a ticket for a mechanical defect due to a leaky rear end, and left the scene of the grime.
Update: The officer in the picture was fired**. He
was a recipient of a "Challenge Coin" an award for going above and beyond the call of duty. Perhaps he was saving her life from a vaginal itch that was killing her.

David O'Doherty: David O' Doh-party - Fringe 2009 |
After winning the if.comedy award last year, David O'Doherty plays it safe with the follow-up, consolidating rather than developing. It's a lovely hour, if not a great surprise. He is aware of the expectations the audience will have of him now and tackles them head on and in typically lo-fi style with a plinky-plonkety song urging everyone to 'please, please' lower them. The sentiment is amusingly undermined by the rapturous response. As if we're taking any notice of the words! O'Doherty is one of those comics who is, in his man-child goofiness, inherently likable. We want him to succeed. It's an alchemy that transforms a show that deals with nothing more important than crap internet connections, the perils of air travel and the pointlessness of Guitar Hero into something greater than the sum of its parts. He doesn't even have anything particularly fresh to say on the topics. Rather, it's the way he tells 'em. YouTube and Twitter are ridiculously easy targets but you still can't help smiling when he grumbles that the bad spelling on the former makes everyone sound as if they're stuck down a well. His set is peppered with these throwaway observations, as well as delicious similies not quite Dylan Moran's literary flights but not too far behind. Returning to his detested Guitar Hero, for example, he describes how you have to hang a child's plastic guitar around your neck to play 'like the opposite of a medal'. O'Doherty is a natural storyteller which makes his farcical anecdotes about meeting a woman he had previously only seen through a telescope as a teenage pervert, or a friend climbing into bed with their parents after taking legendary West Cork Ecstasy a delight rather than a pub bore. You have to like a man toying with the idea of writing a musical based on OMC's How Bizarre that never once includes the title song. He might even get away with it; his own songs, wittily discordant marriages of music and words, all hammered out on his trusty old Yamaha, are unequalled in charm, not least slyly sentimental closer Everything's Not Shit. It's nothing radical, sure, more an indulgent homely pleasure but as they go, O'Doherty is buttered toast on a cold, rainy evening. |

Once a student is dismissed from the Medical Imaging program for academic reasons, he/she may apply for re-admission for the following year. This is due to the sequential nature of the Medical Imaging curricula. The student has the opportunity to submit a letter of intent (signed and dated) to the Medical Imaging department chairperson for re-admission into the program no later than the end of the semester following the semester in which the student was dismissed. The request will be presented to the full-time Medical Imaging faculty for consideration providing the following criteria are met: an achieved overall GPA of 2.75, successful completion of all criteria that were the reasons for the initial dismissal, and the provision that clinical space is available. Once re-admitted, minimum GPA requirements apply. In addition, students who wish to be considered for re-admission must first grade replace all MI and/or science courses in which a grade of "C-" or above was not earned. Previous performance in both clinical and didactic courses will also be considered. Notification of reacceptance will be in writing from the department chairperson prior to June 1 or January 1, depending upon which semester the student is re-entering.
Depending upon the reason for the original dismissal as well as the length of time until the student re-enters, students may be required to audit specific program and/or cognate course previously taken as a stipulation for re-admission. These courses can only be taken as "Audit" and cannot earn credits if successfully taken previously. The requirements for re-admission will be determined by the full-time Medical Imaging faculty and communicated to the student in writing for consideration of acceptance of the re-admission offer. Failure by the student to agree to the conditions for re-admission will result in the offer being revoked. In addition, all re-admitted students must successfully repeat all previously completed clinical competencies on a pass/fail basis only. If re-admission is granted, minimum GPA requirements,as stated above, apply. In adddition, if a student is required to audit lab courses, a fee for monthly radiation badges will be the responsibility of the student.
If a student is dismissed a second time, he/she will not be readmitted.
The Medical Imaging department of Misericordia University reserves the right to make changes in these policies as the need arises.
