Transfer Glossary
Articulation Agreement
Designed to show equivalency between two specific academic programs. Outlines both transferred courses as well as remaining academic requirements. These types of agreements are typically designed around the completion of an A.A. or A.S. degree (with few exceptions for A.A.S. degrees) and articulate the need to complete a two-year degree as part of the transfer process. This is typically a legally binding document between two institutions and is honored as a contract. Expiration, next date of review, or language pertaining to changes in program should be included.
General Transfer Agreement (Umbrella Articulation)
Document that outlines necessary requirements for transfer from one institution to another. Does not address specific programs or majors. Typically contains information regarding GPA, general course transferability criteria, transfer of credit, and privileges due to the student upon completion of an A.A. or an A.S. degree.
Course Equivalencies
A list outlining the course at one institution and how it specifically transfers to another institution typically indicating what specific requirement the course will meet, whether it is toward general education, elective, major, concentration or liberal education.
2 2 Agreements
An articulation agreement that also indicates the specific course requirements completed at both ends with zero loss of credit. This is typically a legally binding document between two institutions and is honored as a contract. Expiration, next date of review, or language pertaining to changes in program should be included.
3 1 Agreements
An articulation agreement which allows a student to complete a third year of full-time study with the institution that awards the associate's degree. This agreement outlines which courses the student may complete in their third year as well as which courses will need to be completed in their final year upon transfer.
Joint Admissions
Connects two institutions at the student level during the admissions process. Students are admitted to both institutions upon completion of the application to the two-year school. Must, however, maintain specifically outlined requirements for the dual admission to be honored. Typically these requirements include credit load, GPA, degree completion and course selection.
Advisement Document (Audit Sheet)
A document designed to be utilized by the two-year institution's advisors for purposes of advisement for transfer to a specific institution. Typically outlines both general education course transferability as well as specific courses for transfer within a major. In cases where the transfer is occurring between two schools not within the state system, this document type is also used to illustrate the nuances that may exist within a private school's liberal or general education requirements. This is an unofficial, non-binding document designed for guidance purposes only.
Course Equivalency Tables
Chart which outlines how one course transfers to another institution. This is sometimes included with articulation agreements, 2 2 agreements and general agreements, but can also be a standalone document for advisement purposes.

Information For Authors
- Manuscript Submission Guidelines
- Author Benefits Program
- Open Access Policy
- NIH/HHMI Wellcome Trust Policies
- Self-Archiving Policy
Please follow all instructions carefully. Noncompliance may result in your manuscript being returned to you to be modified to the Journal style before entering the review process.
Create an Account in Manuscript Central
If you do not already have an account in Manuscript Central (MC) for 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing, you will need to create one. The system will prompt you for required information. Once you create your account, you may log in to the system to begin your submission. Manuscripts MUST be submitted online (only Word docs, not PDFs) using the following URL: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/3DP
Keywords (Areas of Expertise)
To facilitate the peer review process, select 4-6 keywords from the drop-down list of pre-selected terms when submitting your manuscript. These keywords will assist in the selection of skilled reviewers in the field for the purposes of peer review.
Use of English Language
All submissions must be in English. Appropriate use of the English language is a requirement for review and publication in 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing. For authors whose native language is not English, we suggest using a service that can aid in the translation and rewriting of material into correct and proper English usage. The Publisher offers this service, with a subsidy from the author, prior to official submission (Contact firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.) It is important to note that employing the use of the Publisher's service does not guarantee acceptance of any paper. All submissions are subject to peer review.
Manuscripts should be submitted with the understanding that they have neither been published, nor are under consideration for publication elsewhere, except in the form of an abstract. Prior abstract publications should be described as a footnote to the title. Published manuscripts become the sole property of the Journal and will be copyrighted by Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. By submitting a manuscript to the Journal, the author(s) agree(s) to each of these conditions. In addition, the author(s) explicitly assign(s) any copyrighted ownership he/she (they) may have in such manuscript to the Journal.
All submissions will undergo a preliminary assessment by the Editorial Office. Certain papers may be rejected without peer review if the Editor-in-Chief determines that the paper is out of the Journal's scope. All submissions to the Journal are subject to peer review. Authors are encouraged, but not required, to supply the names and valid email addresses of three to four individuals who are considered qualified to review the submitted material, as well as the names of individuals whom the authors would prefer not be selected as a reviewer. However, the reviewer selection is ultimately at the discretion of the Editor.
Authorship. All authors, including the co-authors, should be responsible for a significant part of the manuscript. All authors and co-authors should have taken part in writing the manuscript, reviewing it, and revising its intellectual and technical content. Any author whose name appears on a paper assumes responsibility and accountability for the results.
Submitting Author/Agent: It is incumbent upon the submitting author/agent to ensure the accuracy and inclusion of all contributing authors' names and affiliations upon original submission of the paper. Once a paper is accepted for publication, changes in authorship – including at the page proof stage – are NOT permitted. Changes in authorship after publication are strictly prohibited.
Corresponding Author: It is the Journal's policy that a manuscript has only ONE corresponding author listed on a paper. This designation should be determined at the time of submission. Additions to corresponding authors are not permitted after acceptance or in page proofs. It is the corresponding author's responsibility to share the page proofs with co-authors and to coordinate all authors' corrections into one proof. The Publisher will not accept corrections from multiple authors.

All permission listings must be provided at the time of submission.
Patients and Study Participants
All manuscripts must comply with the privacy and confidentiality requirements outlined on the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals website. For more information, visit http://www.icmje.org/ethical_5privacy.html
When articles include reports of studies on human subjects, state in the Methods section that an appropriate institutional review board or ethics committee approved the study. Authors who do not have formal ethics review committees should follow the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. In the Methods section, state that informed consent was obtained from subjects (specify written or verbal).
The principal author must state that if animals were used experimentally, permission was obtained from the appropriate committee(s), and that the animals were treated humanely and the standards conformed to those of current ethical animal research practices.
In addition, text and photographs should not reveal any identifying information unless it is essenti al for scientific purposes (in which case, consent should be obtained). Masking the subjects' eyes in photographs is often insufficient to protect their identity.
When reporting experiments on human subjects, authors should indicate whether the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human experimentation (institutional and national) and with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975, as revised in 2008. If doubt exists whether the research was conducted in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration, the authors must explain the rationale for their approach and demonstrate that the institutional review body explicitly approved the doubtful aspects of the study. When reporting experiments on animals, authors should indicate whether the institutional and national guide for the care and use of laboratory animals was followed.

Large, in charge and nobody's little Margie: Dwayne Johnson takes on the drug kingpins in "Snitch." Place your bets!
"Snitch" comes from a story told in a "Frontline" documentary about the post-Reagan-era injustice of mandatory minimum sentencing for first-time, nonviolent offenders. In real life, James Settembrino was the father of an 18-year-old who received a 10-year sentence for the possession and sale of LSD. The kid claims he was set up by a government informant; James Settembrino cooperated with prosecutors by attempting to ferret out information on other drug dealers, in exchange for a lighter sentence for his son.

Promoting The Responsible Use of Unsecured Personal Loans
Home Personal Loans Online With No Collateral, Bad Credit OK
Personal Loans Are Easy To Qualify For!
Loans $1,500-$2,500
Friendly Loans
Traditional banks are tightening their credit standards and rejecting more personal loan applications. However, scores of online lenders have lined up to fill this void in the credit market. Getting personal loans online is faster and easier than getting a traditional bank loan, and now there are more options than ever. For those who just need a few hundred dollars to get through a tight spot, short term personal loans of $100 to $1,500 are available. Those who need a little more cash and want to pay back their loans with multiple payments instead of a lump sum can apply for personal loans between $1,500 and $2,500. For even larger financial needs, some borrowers can qualify for loans from $2,500 to $25,000 and get an interest rate of less than 6 percent.
APR: The equivalent annualized percentage rate for payday loans and other short-term installment loans ranges from 547.5% to 999.45%, based on the amount and the length of the loan. Larger loans with longer payback periods have lower interest rates. While this sounds large, one must consider that these loans are only meant to be for a very small time-frame, usually 2 weeks. Annualizing other fees in the same manner results in APR of 2336% for a returned check fee of $32 against a $100 check, a 965% fee against a $37 credit card late fee or over the limit fee, or a 1203% APR for a typical $46 reconnect fee by a utility company.
Financial Implications: Short term payday loans are meant to be just that: Short term. Typical fees range from $15 to $40 for every $100 borrowed up to $500.00. Fees per $100 begin dropping on loans larger than $500.00. Fees are typically less than what borrowers can expect to pay for bouncing a check, having a utility disconnected, or paying a credit card bill late.
Collection Practices: If a loan becomes delinquent, attempts at collections are first conducted internally, primarily through telephone, an attempt to work out a pay-off arrangement that takes into strong consideration the financial condition of the borrower. If, after all attempts at internal collections have failed, the lending agency may send the loan to a third party collection agency in an attempt to recover the funds lent in good faith.
Credit Score Impacts: Short term, payday loan lenders may rely on a credit reporting agency and is not limited to any of the three (3) major rating agencies Equifax, Experian, or Transunion. Generally, the borrower doesn t have to bear concern that their score may be affected by having the loan request determined by results from these agencies, however, such determination is solely in the discretion of the payday loan lender(s), which may result in the lender(s) submitting, among other things, the borrower s request for the loan, or the subsequent payment(s) under the loan to any of these agencies. Short term lenders may also rely on their own scoring criteria, which is generally based on income and ability to repay, as well as the borrower s payment history of any previous payday loans that have been made with the lender in question, or with other payday lenders.
Short term personal loans
Customers who need to borrow an amount between $100 and $1,500 can have money deposited directly into their bank accounts, making the process very convenient. Short term personal loans can be paid back all at once with the borrowers next paycheck. Borrowers who need to make multiple, smaller payments can apply for installment loans. For these small, short term personal loans, there are usually minimal credit checks. Once you verify your employment and income, you ll receive detailed offers from lenders indicating the amount they re willing to lend, fees you ll be responsible for upon repayment and the date or dates of repayment. If you need cash today, this is the right option for you.
For these small, short-term personal loans, fees can be $15 per $100 borrowed or more, so this type of loan should only be used for necessities. When deciding how much to borrow, be sure to factor in the fees, which will be due when the loan is due. For example, if you borrow $100 and theres a $15 fee, you ll need to pay back $115 when you get your next paycheck. Fees vary from lender to lender, and they can change based on your state of residence or the amount borrowed.
Personal installment loans
If you re looking to borrow $1,000 to $2,500, the process is similar to getting short term loans up to $1,000. The application is short and the approval process is fast; you ll know within minutes how much you can borrow. Some lenders do check credit, but customers with bad credit or no credit can still qualify, depending on the amount they re looking to borrow and the fees they are willing to pay. Its often more expensive to borrow money for those who have bad credit, but personal installment loans can ultimately save customers money. Bank overdraft fees almost always end up costing more because the bank charges a separate fee for each transaction and those bank fees are only getting higher.
Personal installment loans can be a lifesaver if you re trying to keep your power from being shut off, avoid eviction, keep your car running or cover an emergency medical expense. If you re using personal installment loans to try to save money by avoiding late fees or bank overdraft charges, do the math to make sure your loan fees are low enough to justify borrowing it.
Unsecured personal loans up to $25,000
If you need a large loan of up to $25,000, peer-to-peer lending is here to help. Unlike car title loans or pawn shop loans, you can borrow an unsecured personal loan, meaning you don t need to have collateral. You can avoid the hassle of borrowing from a large bank, and you likely will save money. Most peer-to-peer lenders charge lower interest rates than large banks, and they are more willing to work with peers who have lower credit scores. Lenders who participate in peer-to-peer lending do usually check the credit score of the borrower. Because you ll be borrowing from another individual rather than a bank or financial institution, there is more room for negotiation regarding terms of repayment.
Peer-to-peer lenders will lend money for many reasons to many types of people. Over the past few years, the banking industry and its practices have been repeatedly called into question. Many borrowers are looking to peer-to-peer lending simply because they like having the choice of borrowing from an individual rather than a financial institution. Individual lenders who don t have the overhead or investor pressure that banks have can afford to charge lower interest rates.
Online loans versus credit cards
Interest rates on credit cards can be up to six times the interest rates you could qualify for through peer-to-peer lending. If you already have a credit card and you take out a cash advance against your credit, most credit card companies charge an even higher interest rate on cash advances than they charge for purchases. The real catch is that most credit cards won t allow you to pay off your cash advance until you ve paid the rest of your balance. For example, if your usual credit card interest rate is 20 percent, your credit card company might charge you 30 percent interest for a cash advance. Furthermore, the company won t allow you to pay off that cash advance until you have paid off the full balance for which you are paying 20 percent interest. This means your cash advance will sit and collect interest at a much higher rate until you can pay off all of the charges on your card that are not from cash advances.
Your personal information is safe
Regardless of which route you take to getting the money you need, your personal information will stay secure. and all its affiliates use secure sites, so the information you share with your lender will not fall into the wrong hands. You can also rest assured that you are under no obligation whatsoever until you and your lender agree to specific loan terms. If at any point during the application process you change your mind, you can walk away. There are no upfront fees; you won t have to pay anything until the date of your first scheduled payment.

He was my mother's father, and as a kid I always thought of him as an old man when in fact he was only in his early 50's when I was born. Grandpa had a rather stern demeanor but a heart of gold. Grandpa was a farmer; a dairy farmer to be exact, a man whose life revolved around milking twice each day, putting up hay in the summer and feeding it to the cows in the winter.

Retail boxed drives often carry 3yr warranty, so there is more at stake for the manufacturer if they go bad. This is just one observation, possibly not statistically significant, but my retail store purchases worked out just fine. Sincerely, Josip P.S. You would not want to build a cluster that way (limited selection & higher prices) but for spare parts, retail stores are quick and convenient. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Technical data or Software Publicly Available" or "Correspondence". ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Earning Rewards:
Rewards Program Agreement: For more information about the Amazon card rewards program, view the latest Rewards Program Agreement. We will mail your Rewards Program Agreement once your account is established. If you become a Chase Online customer, your Rewards Program Agreement will also be available after logging in to chase.com. The terms of the Rewards Program Agreement apply to the 3% Back and 5% Back earned at Amazon.com and Whole Foods Market including physical Whole Foods Market store locations, 365 stores, and the website accessible at wholefoodsmarket.com.
% Back and Points: "% Back rewards" are the rewards you earn under the program. % Back rewards are tracked as points and each $1 in % Back rewards earned is equal to 100 points. You may simply see "% Back" in marketing materials when referring to the rewards you earn. Eligible Prime memberships only apply to Amazon.com accounts (and not accounts on any other affiliated websites outside the U.S.) and may include, in Amazon's sole discretion: annual and monthly Amazon Prime subscriptions and members of their Amazon Household (excluding Amazon Prime Video and invited guests of an Amazon Prime account), Amazon Prime Fresh, Amazon Family, Amazon Prime Student and trial memberships of Amazon Prime.
How you can earn points: You'll earn points when you, or an authorized user, use an Amazon Rewards Visa Signature or Amazon Prime Rewards Visa Signature credit card to make purchases of products and services, minus returns or refunds. Buying products and services with your card, in most cases, will count as a purchase; however, the following types of transactions won't count and won't earn points: balance transfers, cash advances, travelers checks, foreign currency, money orders, wire transfers or similar cash-like transactions, lottery tickets, casino gaming chips, race track wagers or similar betting transactions, any checks that access your account, interest, unauthorized or fraudulent charges, and fees of any kind, including an annual fee, if applicable.
When you earn 3% Back at Amazon.com and Whole Foods Market: If the Amazon.com account through which you apply for your card account does not have an eligible Prime membership, your card account will earn 3% Back on Amazon.com and Whole Foods Market purchases.
Your card account will earn 5% Back instead: If the Amazon.com account through which you apply for your card account has an eligible Prime membership and your card account is loaded into that Amazon.com account. If you switch Amazon.com accounts, use multiple Amazon.com accounts, or your card account is loaded into multiple Amazon.com accounts, then your card account may not automatically earn 5% Back and may instead earn 3% Back. In such cases, you will need to confirm your card account number and select your card account on that Amazon.com account with eligible Prime membership in order to earn 5% Back. To learn how, visit the "Manage Payment Options" page via "Your Account" page at Amazon.com. Once you've confirmed and selected your card account, your card account will then earn 5% Back on Amazon.com and Whole Foods Market purchases until that Amazon.com account with eligible Prime membership:
(i) no longer has an eligible Prime membership;
(ii) no longer has your card account loaded in that Amazon.com account;
(iii) is closed;
(iv) is used to select a different card account to earn 5% Back at Amazon.com; or
(v) is used to apply for another Amazon Prime Rewards Visa Signature card account that is approved and loaded in that Amazon.com account (that new card account will earn 5% Back at Amazon.com).
Whether a purchase earns 3% Back or 5% Back is determined at the time your eligible Amazon.com or Whole Foods Market purchase is made.
Earning % Back Rewards: You'll earn either 3% Back or 5% Back for each $1 of eligible purchases made using your card account at Amazon.com and Whole Foods Market, as described above. 3% Back equates to $0.03 in % Back rewards, which is equal to 3 points, for each $1 spent. 5% Back equates to $0.05 in % Back rewards, which is equal to 5 points, for each $1 spent. 3% Back or 5% Back is earned only on purchases made at Amazon.com (including digital downloads, Amazon.com Gift Cards, Amazon Fresh orders, Amazon Prime subscriptions, and items sold by third-party merchants through Amazon.com's marketplace) and Whole Foods Market (including physical Whole Foods Market and Whole Foods Market 365 stores, and the website accessible at www.wholefoodsmarket.com). 3% Back or 5% Back is not earned on (i) purchases from merchants using Amazon Pay, (ii) purchases made at international Amazon retail sites (including but not limited to Amazon.ca, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, or Amazon.co.jp), or any other website operated by Amazon, (iii) purchases made at international Whole Foods Market sites, (iv) purchases of Whole Foods Market or Whole Foods Market 365 products or services through third-party sites such as Eventbrite, Instacart, Google Express and Shipt, (v) online purchases of Whole Foods Market or Whole Foods Market 365 gift cards (including through buyatab.com), event tickets or classes, (vi) purchases from certain third-party vendors operating at Whole Foods Market sites, (vii) purchases of massage services at any Whole Foods Market site, or (viii) purchases from Spa@Ink, in each case in Amazon's sole discretion. You'll earn 2% Back for each $1 spent in the following rewards categories: restaurants; gas stations; drugstores. This equates to $0.02 in % Back rewards, which is equal to 2 points, for each $1 spent. You'll earn 1% Back for each $1 spent on all other purchases. This equates to $0.01 in % Back rewards, which is equal to 1 point, for each $1 spent. We may offer you ways to earn bonus points through the program or special promotions. You'll find out more about the number of bonus points you can earn and any other terms at or before the time of each eligible offer.
How you can use your points: You can use your points to redeem for eligible purchases at Amazon.com. You can also use your points to redeem for cash, starting at 2,000 points, through an account statement credit or electronic deposit into an eligible checking or savings account held by a financial institution located in the United States. Other redemption options include travel, gift cards, and products or services made available through the program or directly from third party merchants.
Points expiration/losing points: Your points don't expire as long as your account remains open, however, you will immediately lose all your points if your account status changes, or your account is closed for program misuse, fraudulent activities, failure to pay, bankruptcy, or other reasons described in the terms of the Rewards Program Agreement.
Rewards Categories: Merchants who accept Visa/MasterCard credit cards are assigned a merchant code, which is determined by the merchant or its processor in accordance with Visa/MasterCard procedures based on the kinds of products and services they primarily sell. Chase groups similar merchant codes into categories for purposes of making rewards offers to you. Please note: Chase makes every effort to include all relevant merchant codes in its rewards categories. However, even though a merchant or some of the items that it sells may appear to fit within a rewards category, the merchant may not have a merchant code in that category. When this occurs, purchases with that merchant won't qualify for rewards offers on purchases in that category. Purchases submitted by you, an authorized user, or the merchant through third-party payment accounts, mobile or wireless card readers, online or mobile digital wallets, or similar technology will not qualify in a rewards category if the technology is not set up to process the purchase in that rewards category. For more information about Chase rewards categories, see www.chase.com/rewardscategoryfaqs.
Using your Points at Amazon.com Checkout (Shop with Points): Additional Chase and Amazon.com Shop with Points service terms apply. Learn more about Shop with Points by going to www.amazon.com/chaseswp. Some or all documents, services, websites (whether controlled by Chase or others) and/or correspondence may be available only in English.

Here's the second promo for Ghajini, releasing on Christmas day. More information on the film, and links to all related posts here. We saw Asin Thottumkal in the first trailer, and she really shines through here, as does Aamir Khan. Again, there's also a glimpse of Jiah Khan. The jingle that accompanied the first look will be a rather good song. And the colors and camerawork offer a visual treat!
I hope Udit Narayan has a presence at some point in the soundtrack -- he, like A. R. Rahman (who's providing music to Ghajini), has been behind some of Aamir's biggest hits. More moving forward. Have a great weekend, everyone!

Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z

Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Incident Response (VII.B.3)
Volume VII: Information Technology
Chapter B: Security
Issuing Office: OVPIT
Responsible Officer: VPIT
Responsible Office: OVPIT
Originally Issued: May 17, 2005
Revised: July 22, 2016
Reason for This Policy
Statement of Policy
Who Should Know This Policy
Related Documents
A formal policy for the reporting of and response to IT Incidents is necessary to ensure the secure operation of IT Resources, to protect the data security and privacy of students, faculty, and staff, and respond appropriately to IT Incidents.
This policy sets forth a set of general requirements for the efficient response to IT Incidents in order to maintain the security and privacy of IT Resources, data and other assets, as well as satisfy requirements of state and federal law.
|IT Incident
|Any event involving University IT Resources which:
|The CIR, or Coordinator of Incident Response, is the party responsible for managing University-wide IT Incident response. The IT Security and Privacy office, under OVPIT, currently fulfills the role of CIR.
|A CIRT, or Computer Incident Response Team, is a group of skilled individuals designated to respond to any IT Incident which requires coordination across multiple departments, or which cannot in the reasonable judgment of the CIR be adequately addressed by a single department, or when it is otherwise determined to be appropriate to employ such a team by the CIR. The CIR is responsible for defining the specific procedures for and operations of CIRTs.
|Purdue Security Contact is the person or persons assigned to coordinate IT Incident response for an individual business unit, college/school, or department. The PSC is responsible for interacting with the CIR.
|IT Resource
|All tangible and intangible computing and network assets provided by or for the University to further its mission of discovery, learning, and engagement. Examples of such assets include, but are not limited to, hardware, software, Purdue Airlink, network bandwidth, mobile devices, electronic information resources, printers, and paper.
|IP Address
|Internet Protocol Address. A unique numerical address that identifies computers connected to the Internet or other IP networks.
|A person who notifies the CIR of an event he or she believes to be an IT Incident.
In order to facilitate the accurate and productive response to IT Incidents, all IT Incidents must be classified and assessed by the CIR for severity at their onset. As the IT Incident progresses its classification may be reevaluated and changed as necessary to ensure proper handling.
In some cases, IT Incidents may fall under multiple classifications. When this happens, the classification with the highest severity should generally dictate the course of IT Incident response.
The CIR is responsible for providing and maintaining appropriate IT Incident classification guidelines and resolution procedures.
Receiving Reports
Reported events become IT Incidents only after they have been received and evaluated by the CIR. All event reports should be sent first to the CIR for assessment and assignment. The CIR upon receiving a report is responsible for assessing its veracity, determining whether or not the event constitutes an IT Incident and classifying the IT Incident, and initiating handling procedures.
The CIR reserves the right, per the Delegation of Administrative Authority and Responsibility For Information Assurance, Security and Awareness (policy WL-4) and subject to applicable law and other applicable University policies, to use the following resources for IT Incident detection and/or response:
- System and application logs
- Passive network traffic monitoring (e.g., IDS, and other network packet analyzers)
- Active scanning of systems suspected of violating university policy, or systems exhibiting symptoms of compromise
- Other resources as determined appropriate by the CIR and as allowed by Purdue policy and applicable law.
To facilitate accurate reporting, handling, and record keeping, the CIR is responsible for providing a protocol by which the CIR, PSC, and Reporters of potential IT Incidents can communicate. The CIR should also maintain a record of communication and data collection for all events reported to the CIR. In addition, the CIR is responsible for providing a formal operations guide. This guide shall outline the specific processes and methods for handling IT Incidents.
Reporting Incidents
When any event is observed which appears to satisfy the definition of an IT Incident, it must be reported to the CIR. If it is unclear as to whether or not an event constitutes an IT Incident, such an event should be sent to the CIR for evaluation. Events that may constitute an IT Incident may be reported to the CIR via email at firstname.lastname@example.com. The person who reports the event, including complaints relayed on behalf of customers, should document and report any available relevant information about the event, including, but not limited to dates, times, persons/resources involved, and IP addresses.
The CIR is responsible for publishing all IT Incident reporting guidelines and additional contact information. Absent these guidelines, all events that may constitute IT Incidents should be reported directly to the CIR via email@example.com.
Situations which are suspected to be crimes should be reported immediately to the appropriate law enforcement agencies by the person who possesses first-hand knowledge of the facts or circumstances related to a suspected crime. Those events which are suspected to be both a crime and an IT Incident should be reported first to the appropriate law enforcement agencies, and then a notification that a police report has been filed should be sent to the CIR. However, it should be noted that in such situations the CIR would not generally act on the report unless asked to do so by said law enforcement agencies.
Purdue students, faculty, and staff should report crimes to the Purdue University Police Department. Those persons external to the University should report crimes to their local law enforcement agency.
After receiving a report, assessing its veracity, determining whether or not the event constitutes an IT Incident, and classifying the IT Incident, the CIR will determine if the IT Incident warrants a formal response. IT Incidents that do not warrant formal response will be remanded to the appropriate PSC for handling. All reported events or IT Incident must be documented throughout the response process.
If an event report does warrant formal IT Incident response procedures by the CIR, it is the responsibility of the CIR to coordinate the appropriate resources for such response. If deemed appropriate by the CIR, a CIRT will be formed and led by the handler assigned to the IT Incident.
The CIR is responsible for documenting appropriate procedures for responding to event reports and IT Incidents, and coordinating CIRTs.
Business Continuity
In the course of responding to an IT Incident it may be necessary, subject to applicable laws and University policies, to require the suspension of involved or targeted services/systems in order to:
- Protect students, faculty, staff, IT Resources, other systems, data, and University assets from threats posed by the involved services/systems
- Protect the service/system in question
- To preserve evidence and facilitate the IT Incident response process
The decision to suspend operations will be made by the CIR, as designated by the Vice President for IT per Information Technology policy WL-4, Delegation of Administrative Authority and Responsibility for Information Assurance, Security, and Awareness.
In the case of mission critical applications, the CIR will make a good-faith effort to consult with the appropriate PSC, and if available, service/application owner before such suspensions are carried out. If, in the judgment of the CIR an excessive amount of time (giving due weight to the relative severity of the IT Incident) has passed without response from the appropriate PSC or service/application owner, suspension may occur without consultation. In other cases, the appropriate PSC will be notified of suspension of service.
Any equipment not owned by the University which is using University IT Resources, and is found to be the target, source, or party to an IT Incident may be subject to immediate suspension of services without notice until the issue has been resolved, or the subject system is no longer a threat.
In all cases, it is the CIR who shall determine if and when a service suspension may be lifted.
In order to facilitate proper and timely handling of IT Incident responses, it is necessary that network-connected devices can be identified and located as soon as possible. To this end, PSCs are required to maintain an inventory of network-connectable devices under their control, per guidelines to be established by the CIR. Absent these guidelines, PSCs are required to maintain a list of all such devices which includes, at a minimum, the primary location of the device, and the physical addresses for all network interfaces used by the device (i.e., MAC address).
This policy covers students, faculty, staff, and all individuals or entities using any Purdue IT Resources and all uses of such IT Resources. Any individual or entity using Purdue IT Resources consents to all of the provisions of the preceding policy and agrees to comply with all of the terms and conditions set forth herein, all other applicable University policies, regulations, procedures and rules, and with applicable local, state and federal law and regulations.
Violations of this policy or any other University policy or regulation may result in the revocation or limitation of IT Resource privileges as well as other disciplinary actions and may be referred to appropriate external authorities.
Regional Campuses
Regional campuses are required to institute their own IT Incident response plan and procedures in accordance with this policy. This includes providing a single electronic mail address to report regional campus-specific events that may constitute IT Incidents*, as well as the appropriate procedures for handling these events.
* This abuse email address should be listed as the AbuseEmail and OrgAbuseEmail fields of the ARIN records for all IP blocks owned by each campus.

Tomkins is sure to be integral to England's chances against the likes of Australia and New Zealand, who have traditionally been far too strong for the home nations, and the versatile stand-off is confident success can be achieved against the odds.
"I think the Exiles are a massive part of our preparation, certainly with the World Cup not too far away we need to get as many intense sessions together as we can," the 24-year-old told Sky Sports.
"There are only so many times we can do that in training. It'll be the last game we play before we crack onto the World Cup.
"I think the World Cup is a massive chance for us to show what we can really do. You look at the squad that we've got here this week. We've got a good chance of doing something special."
Tomkins and his teammates have been working together at a training camp in Loughborough, and start as strong favourites against the Exiles.
Willie Manu and Heath L'Estrange are the latest recruits for a side that has been England twice in their previous three encounters, with the duo replacing Leeds Rhinos forward Brett Delaney and Warrington Wolves hooker Michael Monaghan.

Political Leaders Agree To Lose Height As An Economy Measure

French President Nicolas Sarkozy has issued a statement after he was photographed standing on a footstool at the D-Day commemoration ceremonies in Normandy last weekend.
Sarkozy defended his action as 'an example of Europe economising in the size of their politicians' and compared his own 'economical stature' to that of American President Barack Obama, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the British Prime Minister Gordon Brown. He also said the footstool was necessary as he had been unable to operate a lever which would have reduced the height of the lecturn. However the French President had an his own explanation why he now thought 'short is the new tall'.
In France the electorate chose me because I eat less in comparison to the Anglo-Saxons who are fixated on the markets for providing tall men as their political leaders. Like my equally compact comrade Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany and Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi of Italy, we are showing that in the economic climate the world faces today , the leaders of great nations should lead by example and reduce themselves in size . I trust my allies do not see this as 'Heightism' but I think for those who have been barred from office with insults like 'Shorthausen' , 'Petit Poseur' or 'Mickey Mouse' , I can show everyone that it is a possible to jump over the barrier and become president or prime minister of your nation.
The French leader then hinted that other politicians had secretly agreed with him and that they had pledged to 'lose a few lower limbs' to balance the height disadvantage between them. He didn't spell out how this would happen or if he had in mind future leaders of the USA or Great Britain.'
President Sarkozy continued that this issue of 'height' did not include the wives or partners of world leaders. His new wife Carla Bruni stands at least an extra foot over her husband and has been obliged to walk with a bent back or flat shoes everytime she has been photographed with Sarkozy.

San Rafael Wilderness
IntroductionThe United States Congress designated the San Rafael Wilderness (map) in 1968 and it now has a total of 191,104 acres. All of this wilderness is located in California and is managed by the Forest Service.
DescriptionAfter the initial preservation of land under the Wilderness Act of 1964, the original San Rafael Wilderness (1968) was the first Primitive area added to the NWPS's roster. Here in the chaparral-covered San Rafael Mountains, elevations range from 1,166 feet near the confluence of Manzana Creek and the Sisquoc River in the west to over 6,800 feet on Big Pine Mountain near the eastern boundary and Dick Smith Wilderness. Too rocky and shallow to entice river runners, except perhaps in spring high water, all but two of the Sisquoc's 33 Wild and Scenic miles are within the Wilderness, tumbling through pools and oak-shaded grasslands, over waterfalls and past archaeological sites. The region known as Hurricane Deck stretches for 17 miles of steep escarpments, grassy potreros, dry plateaus, and wind-carved sandstone formations. Wildflowers are abundant March through June. The Wilderness contains the Sisquoc Condor Sanctuary, and black bears and mountain lions also live here with numerous smaller animals. San Rafael Wilderness has over 125 relatively rugged miles of trails that receive moderate human use. A path follows the Sisquoc River east-west for about 26 miles, and campsites abound. Large portions of the Wilderness are closed during fire season (July through mid-November) because of extreme fire danger.

THURMONT, Md. (AP) — The National Park Service says government sharpshooters killed 156 white-tailed deer in the fifth year of a herd-reduction program at Catoctin Mountain Park near Thurmont.
Park Superintendent Mel Poole said in an email Thursday that the tally is close to the agency's goal of culling 160 deer from the herd.
Sharpshooters from the U.S. Agriculture Department's Wildlife Services division began their work in November.
The program has eliminated 968 deer from the park since 2010. It's intended to reduce tree damage from a deer herd that the park service says is too big.
Conventional hunting is prohibited in the park, so federal sharpshooters do the work and donate the meat to food banks.
The program aims to kill more than 2,000 deer over 15 years.

Happy birthday and may God bless you today!
We're Back On Gluten
mama2two posted a topic in Parents' CornerOh gees, where do I start? I do a recap as briefly as I can. AT 4 years old my daughter started having mucus in her stools, distended gassy abdomen, forceful burping, abdominal pain, passing large amounts of gas, ulcers in her mouth, etc. Did some different testing, celiac panel came back negative, but pedi suggested try gluten free diet for the summer, diet made all these things go away, if she did get gluten, in two days she would have mucus again, we got better at avoiding gluten and she got to the point that all symptoms were gone. Now she is 6 almost seven, and we decided to finally see a pediatric GI doctor, to get some advice, and maybe more concrete answers. We had done testing through enterolab which showed that my daughter has a gene for gluten intolerance and a gene pre-disposing her to celiac disease, and said she should avoid gluten due to the reaction in her stool. This doc basically said that these results were null and void, and said that according to her panel she does not have celiac. She was concerned with her short stature and the fact that my husband and I are both tall. She said to put her back on gluten for a week and she expected her to have mucus in her stool during this time and we would do some stool studies( previous stool studies showed split fat in her stool). I asked her about "what if her gut has healed and it takes longer than one week, she said as long as she was not having symptoms, including any behavioral problems to keep her on gluten. Well she has been eating gluten for about a month or so now and she has had no mucus or complaints of abdominal pain, and she is happy to be eating gluten again. I got a hard time from lots of people having her on a gluten free diet without a definative diagnosis, even though I was just doing what my pediatrician advised me to do. But now life is easier with birthday parties and eating out etc., but I can't help but feel like I may be giving her something that may be doing her damage, and that makes me very uneasy. I am still waiting to see what happens, but I am thinking of asking her to repeat the celiac panel, since she has been having gluten. Following a gluten free diet is very hard and I don't want to impose this on her unnecessarily, but I don't want to feed her food that may cause her to develop cancer, or be infertile, etc. I seem to remember reading about a honeymoon phase that kids can have, between the ages of 6-11 or something, is this what's going on? I don't know, and I'm not sure what my next step should be if anything?! What to do?
Everyday Minerals Makeup
mama2two posted a topic in Gab/Chat RoomI was trying to order makeup from everyday minerals, I have ordered with them before and was pleased, however this time my order would not go thru, it was telling me, that my zip code was invalid, anyone else have trouble ordering with them?
Leg Pains?
mama2two replied to aprilleigh1624's topic in Parents' CornerMy son is 3.5 yrs and has been complaining of leg pains for over a year, at first my dr blew this off and did not think it was anything, she said to keep a journal to see what time of day he complained and if it was one or both legs, etc. Well, when he started complaining again we did blood work and x rays etc, and everything came out OK, so we never really did get an answer, but he doesn't really complain anymore, just once in a blue moon, and I still don't know what's causing it. But he does not have an altered gait or anything. Good Luck getting your answers, I hope your dr will be find something more definitive, we just ruled out a few bad things, but never got to the root cause of it. It seems like that happens alot.
Eating Regular Lunch At School?
mama2two posted a topic in Parents' Cornertoday I brought my daughter a pizza at school for her lunch, I try to bring her something hot at least once a week, because otherwise I tend to send the same thing everyday, and she's really good about it, because she doesn't complain, but I was thinking that there are some things that she could eat on the regular menu, so today while I was there, I talked to the head lunch lady and she wrote down what things my daughter cannot have (wheat, rye, barley and oats) and she said she would give it to the dietition who plans there lunches so that she can say what doesn't have these ingredients, and that she would let me know what she could have. I have been sending her lunches for a year and a half now and I know she would like to eat with the other kids, I know that somedays I will probably still have to send her lunch. Has anyone else ever attempted this and has it worked? I am hopeful, but already having my doubts.
Depressed After Gluten And Sugar!
mama2two posted a topic in Gluten Sensitivity and BehaviorI am reading others reactions to getting glutened and I'm wondering if this may be why I am feeling so depressed and blah today. thursday night I left with a co-worker to go to a conference a few hours away from home and I was gone two nights and two days, during that time I ate lots of gluten. I felt fine at first, but then my stomach started hurting a little, then when I got back it hurt really bad, and today I am so depressed. I have had trouble with chronic candida for 2.5 yrs and now have reason to believe I may have celiac disease. It' probably both making me feel this way. The bad thing is, the more depressed I get, the more I want to drown myself in gluten and sugar. I am feeling really down in the dumps. I can see how drug addicts and alcoholics struggle with their addictions. Because, even though mine is not drugs or alcohol, it just normal everyday food, but it is self-destructive to me and I overindulge myself in it anyway, I know it will make me feel like crap. I rationalize my actions by telling myself that if all these other people can eat this normal food, then I can too. I don't like feeling like I'm not normal and having to not eat sugar, gluten, minimal carbs, no dairy etc. I get so depressed. I love eating. I know I'm being a whiney baby, but anyone else ever loath in self-pity, if so how's the best way out?
Well, we went to my mom's today and while I was at the grocery store, he had an accident, a BM in his underwear, I didn't even care that he had an accident, I was just glad he went. She said it was seedy, that is because, I feed him bumble bars, and they really help him go. I just wanted to share the bumble bar tip with anyone else having constipation issues. I read all your tips and some I have tried, like the mineral oil, that did help, we tried that a couple of yrs ago, but I read that it can block mineral absorption from the GI tract so I wish I had not given it. I don't want them to be dependant on laxatives, I rather try to natural approach, so I think I will try the naturalcalm. Also I have trouble getting him to his probiotic, so I may try to powder form. I do feed him raw veggies and fruits and beans and anything I think will help him go, he getting dairy only on occasion. thanks for all responses.
has anyone tried Natural calm, it's a magnesium powder that is mixed in a drink. a doctor i see suggested this. I'm not sure what to try first. thanks for all your advise.
What's Best For Constipation?
mama2two posted a topic in Parents' Cornermy son has had trouble with constipation since he was a little over a year old, he just made three. I have bought him fiber tabs, he wont' take them, I give him probiotics he sometimes won't take. a doctor suggested psyllium, but I doubt that he will take it. Does any one have any suggestions that work for a constipated three year old. I feed him bumble bars and for a while that kept him regular, but lately he's still constipated. I try to feed him fruit and nuts and anything that I think will help him go. anything I bake has flax meal in it, from pancakes to muffins. thanks for your suggestions in advance.
my daughter loves pepperoni, but I don't love all the nitrates and other nasty things in there, does any one know of a healthy version of pepperoni, preferably sliced? thanks for sharing.
Help With School Lunches...?
mama2two replied to CeliacAlli's topic in Parents' CornerI'll share with you my daughter's favorites, she is a picky eater too. Most days it's van's gluten-free waffles toasted, with sunflower seed butter on it. she loves this, if allowed she could have this for breakfast and lunch. she also likes glutino, ritz-like crackers with peperoni on them. ham rolled up like a cigar. she likes the k-toos oreo like cookies, but she likes the white ones. I know there is more, but I just woke up and can't think to clearly right now. Happy eating!
Hello, I Am New
mama2two replied to ajewel's topic in Meeting RoomWow, it sounds like you have had a pretty rough time! there are definately people here who can relate. It must be a good feeling to finally have an answer to what was causing your problems, now you can be well. Good luck on your recovery and welcome. I have found lots of comfort and learned a great deal from this forum.
A Poop Question
mama2two posted a topic in Parents' CornerMy son is gluten intolerant and he recently had white poop, as I was told by my mom who was babysitting him. I am pretty sure that I have seen this once before, and his poop also has things floating on the edges of it, like ruffles floating in the water off of an otherwise normal consistency poop, anyone have this experience before and know what it means? He does not always have the ruffles only on occasion, he does suffer with consitpation, he only goes once every 3-4 days.
Looking For Advice
mama2two posted a topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky GutI have had a long standing battle with vaginal yeast infections, toenail fungus and some GI issues, constipation, pain etc. I have tried to treat myself with natural antifungals and diet, but decided to see a dr, to try to get rid of my eczema on my hands. he is an internal medicine MD, but also works in wellness and prevention and has some knowledge of supplements, celiac, fungus, etc. well on the first visit I was so glad to maybe get rid of my eczema and be rid of fungus. he had me take my temp for 5 days, keep track of my urine and saliva ph for 14 days and he ordered labs to check my thyroid, a CBC, CMP and I sent off stool and saliva specimens to a co. called Diagnos-techs. this checked for present of yeast, parasites, anti-gliadin antibodies, etc. All my tests are comming back fine, the only thing is that I am a little anemic, which I have been everytime I've ever been checked. I said that he wants to test my adrenals via saliva test through the same lab, and check an iron level. I may do the adrenal test but I don't think I'll do the iron test, I'm sure it probably is low. I am questioning the validity of this lab, anyone familiar with them? He wanted to put me on diflucan, but since I have been on this for 21 days before and did not have permanent results, but I was not following the diet that he has me on ( doug koufman's diet) He wanted to put me on sporanox, but I refused since it is so bad for you liver, also according to my test results, I have no fungus problem, but I believe I do. He suggested I buy OregaBiotic, it's an herbal antifungal, but he said it also kills you friendly bacteria too, so be sure to take it with a probiotic like two hours later, or before. He also suggested I buy Ambrotose, it's made buy a company called Mannatech, it's a glyconutrient. I did follow the diet for one week and my hands were not swollen like they usually are, and they were getting better, so I think the diet is helping but it is so hard to follow and I don't know if this guy knows what he's doing. I asked him about nystatin, because it's an anti-fungal that is good at treating GI tract yeast and has no side-effects and it's cheap, and safe, but he said well that mains deals with the gut yeast so I said well I thought that was where the problem is, I don't know what he said. Anyway I did buy the supplements the ambrotose and oregabiotic but I'm not sure that I needed these, and I don't think they will take them back. the diet is so hard to follow, if you stay home and fix your own food it's not too bad but if you go anywehre unless you bring your food with you, you can just starve because no one can accommodate you. I know this is alot to read, but any advise or shared experiences would be helpful.

I will try to be creative, thanks for all who shared their ideas.

Striking the right balance between risk mitigation and the commercial demands of the business is an essential skill, which must be adapted according to the nature of your industry and the size, culture and risk appetite of your organization. This role needs to have clear ownership at senior management level.
Organizations need to take a systematic and proactive approach to risk mitigation if they are to be better prepared to satisfy evolving legal and regulatory requirements, manage the costs of compliance and realize competitive advantage.
Achieving and maintaining policy compliance becomes more difficult to sustain as organizations grow and become more geographically dispersed and more highly regulated. But, it doesn't have to be this way.
Policies and procedures establish guidelines to behavior and business processes in accordance with an organization's strategic objectives. While typically developed in response to legal and regulatory requirements, their primary purpose should be to convey accumulated wisdom on how best to get things done in a risk-free, efficient and compliant way.
Those organizations that are serious about staff reading, understanding and signing up to policies should consider adopting automated policy management software. This raises standards of policy compliance and provides managers with practical tools to improve policy uptake and adherence.

Hope College senior Sarah Ashcroft of Holland and junior Heather Benson of Muskegon each won first place during the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) Great Lakes Regional Competition, held at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio, on Saturday, March 5.
Ashcroft won in the College Senior Women's Division, and Benson won in the Advanced (graduate-level) Division. They had each previously earned first-place awards in the same categories during the NATS Michigan State Chapter Auditions on Saturday, Nov. 6.
Ashcroft is majoring in vocal music performance and vocal music education. She is a 2007 graduate of West Ottawa High School, and the daughter of Karin Ashcroft of Holland.
She has received recognition during the state and regional NATS competitions annually since her freshman year, including first-place awards at the state level in both 2008 and 2009. In February, she was one of three Hope students among the seven finalists from area colleges and universities chosen to compete in the final round of the Opera Grand Rapids Collegiate Competition on Sunday, April 17, at the Betty Van Andel Opera Center.
Benson is majoring in vocal music performance and vocal music education. She is a 2001 graduate of Mona Shores High School, and the daughter of John and Vicki Benson of Muskegon.
She had also received a first-place award during the state NATS competition in 2009.
Ashcroft and Benson have been active performers as soloists and members of ensembles throughout their time at Hope. Most recently, they were each featured soloists during the Hope College Musical Showcase concert at DeVos Hall in Grand Rapids on Monday, March 7, and they were also chosen to appear as soloists during the college's concerto and aria concert, performing accompanied by the orchestra, on Friday, Feb. 4. In the fall, they were also each among the cast of the college's production of the Kurt Weill opera "Street Scene," a major collaborative effort of the departments of music and theatre.
The regional NATS competition included singers from Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Ontario, Canada.
Hope had four students participating in the competition because of their award-winning performances in the NATS Michigan State Chapter Auditions in November. All four of the participating students are students of Linda LeFever Dykstra, who is an associate professor of music and chair of the voice division at Hope.

If you had access to a 208V/3 phase line the AP7990 costs about $650, uses that as input, and outputs 24 120V sockets. They make quite a few of these PDUs in different configurations so maybe you can find one that does what you want? Another, much cheaper option, would be to set the slave node BIOS to use "Wake on LAN" (if it works on your systems) and NOT to start on power up. Then when power came up the headnode would boot and the others would just warm up enough to listen to their ethernet cards. I don't expect that the start up current going to that mostly off state would be very high, even for 18 computers, since neither the disks nor fans start spinning. Once the head node comes up you can boot the slaves using etherwake. Regards, David Mathog mathog at caltech.edu Manager, Sequence Analysis Facility, Biology Division, Caltech
