The fractured English in spam messages can be amusing but in the future, it could have a malicious subtext.
That's what a quartet of researchers demonstrated recently at the 16th ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security held in Chicago.
The foursome–Joshua Mason and Sam Small from John Hopkins University, Fabian Monrose from the University of North Carolina and Greg MacManus from iSight Partners in Washington, D.C.–in a paper presented at the conference outlined how they created an engine to produce malware based on plain English text.
The researchers were able to transform arbitrary shellcode into a representation that is superficially similar to English prose.
"The shellcode is completely self-contained i.e., it does not require an external loader and executes as valid IA32 code-and can typically be generated in under an hour on commodity hardware," they wrote.
Shellcode is a code injection technique used by crackers to compromise computers. The code is used to create a buffer overflow in a program.
Buffer overflows result when invalid input is given to a program making it behave in a way that's unintended by its writers. For example, an application may ask for a password that's limited to 10 characters. Giving it 20 characters might cause a buffer overflow.
Using the overflow as a door into the program, the intruder often tries to gain control of the application's program counter–the code that tells the software what to do next. Instead of doing what it's supposed to do, the cracker redirects the program to execute nefarious code that's been planted on the system. In many cases, that code creates a command shell used by the miscreant to control the computer. Hence the term "shellcode."
When fighting shellcode attacks, White Hats use the tried and true technique of divide and conquer. They identify essential and inalienable components and then develop detection and prevention techniques to target one or more of those components.
Up to now, security experts considered it impossible to hide the components of malware using polymorphic shellcode. A key component to any shellcode scheme is the decoder. Since that component has a signature that distinguished it from other kinds of benign traffic on a network, the thinking was that no matter what crackers did to disguise their shellcode, the decoder would always stick out like a black thumb.
What the four researchers proved, however, was that they could create shellcode, including the decoder, that appears to be English text. That will allow it to blend in with the benign traffic on a network and make it very difficult, if not impossible, to detect.
"Shellcode, like other compiled code, is simply an ordered list of machine instructions. At the lowest level of representation, each instruction is stored as a series of bytes signifying a pattern of signals that instruct the CPU to manipulate data as desired," the researchers explained. "Like machine instructions, non-executable data is represented in byte form."
"Coincidentally," they continued, "some character
strings from the ASCII character and native machine
instructions have identical byte representations. Moreover, it is even possible to find examples of this phenomenon that parse as grammatically correct English sentences."
To create their project, the researchers began by making a list of instructions that could be rendered in English. Then they fashioned a decoder capable of encoding generic payloads using those instructions. Finally, using text from articles from Wikipedia and books from Project Gutenberg, they discovered text strings that mimicked the executable behavior of the decoder.
Once the experimenters had their decoder, they were confronted with two problems. First, because the decoder must reside in memory as executable code, it is vulnerable to detection by malware fighting software. Second, their English instruction set was limited. To solve both problems, they turned to a technique called self-modification.
"Self-modification is often used to address this problem whereby permissible code modifies portions of the payload such that non-compliant instructions are patched in at runtime, thereby passing any input filters," they explained. "These additional instructions provide an attacker with more versatility and may make an otherwise impotent attack quite powerful."
The self-modifying decoder written by the team took the form: initialization, decoder, encoded payload.
"Intuitively," they explained, "the first component builds an initial decoder in memory (through self-modification) which when executed, expands the working instruction set, providing the decoder with IA32 operations beyond those provided by English prose. The decoder then decodes the next segment (the encoded payload), again via self-modification."
Although the researchers proved that English shellcode was possible, one of them doubted that it would ever be seen in the wild.
"I'd be astounded if anyone is using this method maliciously in the real world, due to the amount of engineering it took to pull off," John Hopkins' Mason told the New Scientist.

Sewing with plaids need not be frustrating at all. Simple matching of horizontal and vertical lines at every seam opening - side seams and the front notch on the arm scythe, for any patch pockets, pocket flaps, and welts, plus pinning and hand basting every seam, every time, ensures great results. If the standard plaid matching seems somewhat restraining, then using a bias placement for pockets, pocket flaps and any small details will add visual interest
Things to consider when working with plaids:
Extra yardage will be needed in order to match the plaids design when laying the pattern tissue on the fabric. Use the with nap pattern layout. Plaids are either balanced (with a symmetrical repeat of the stripes and colors), or unbalanced (with an asymmetrical repeat of the stripes and colors).
Look for a pattern with minimal seaming. Avoid princess seaming. Some patterns will state not suitable for plaids.
Cut each pattern piece on a single layer of fabric, remembering to turn the pattern tissue over for the matching piece if the pattern says cut 2 or if the pattern piece is to be placed on a fold line, e.g. center back bodice, neck facing, or skirt front, then redraw the other side of the pattern piece so that one whole pattern piece can be placed flat on a single layer of the plaid fabric.
For the surest matching of horizontal and vertical plaid lines when machine sewing use an even-feed (known also as dual-feed or walking) presser foot for your machine or machine sew at a slower than usual speed while holding the layers of fabric both in front of and behind the feed dogs to ensure the fabric pieces feed as evenly as possible under the machine needle.
Plaids are among the most recognizable of fabrics the world over. Interestingly, tartan plaids may be the only cloth to have a traceable registered pedigree. Visit Scotland Online to see the Tartans of Scotland for an interesting historical record of all known tartans, currently numbering nearly 3,000 designs.
Sew happy, sew well.

Is there any way I can download the restoration channel without downloading straight to the wii. It's kind of internetless
I'll keep that in mind next time I need help. I'm usually not one to bump posts 'cause I feel it annoys people. I understand how bad the traffic can be at times with people posting many new threads with problems, and one more isn't going to make things any better.
My friend recommended turning off the wiimote when I was ripping as to not interfere with the console doing its job. Not sure if that had anything to do with the success this time around, but if anyone else wants to try it, feel free.
Alright, I have a new hard drive and this game is still giving me black screens.
The guide says use 248 or 250 and then links older versions of 249 and 250, so that's kind of confusing. I tried 250. I am probably going to try and format a hard drive as ntfs ( I been using fat32) because it seemed to work when I tested my rip on his ntfs drive.
To anyone who has it working, what format is your drive and what cios are using to run this game?
You probably just have a bad dump. That turned out to be the problem for me. Try re-ripping the game using USb Gx. I have my cios set to auto, and my hdd is formatted to fat32, and it works fine. Though I am using full isos and not wbfs.
My disc is in excellent condition and I have tried ripping the game several times. How do you use fill isos?
Try using the Disc Loading method on the guide first to make sure your game works. If it does, it could just mean your drive is bad at ripping the discs. Only thing I could reccommend is to try ripping it on another wii. Either way you should be able to play the game via disc loading method, you just won't be able to play it on the go unless you have the actual disc with you.
So are you saying burn a copy of the my rip to a disc to try? I don't understand why my drive would be bad at ripping discs when I have ripped my entire Wii collection with out any issues, even Dual Layer games. I am going to order some Verbatim DVD-R to try.
I guess I have a problem with one other game, Kirbys Epic Yarn (I tested that rip on Dolphin and it was fine, but threw an error when loading on Wii).
Well I just confirmed FAT 32 is the problem. Same rip, same hard drive. Followed the NTFS guide and transfered the game with Wii back up manager and it is playing perfect. It played perfect on the other NTFS drive I tried it on at my friends house, same rip. I tried it on 2 hard drives (maybe even an SD card hooked up to USB) formatted to FAT32 (32 kB cluster) and it black screens constantly and I can bareley get the game to load and if it does it black screens when loading a new area. The only variable is the hard drive format. Strange because most things run best on FAT32 and I have never heard of this anywhere that a game works only on NTFS. I loaded the game no problem and loaded many new areas on both NTFS drives on 2 different wii's and had no issues.
I am probably going to go ahead and try and see if NTFS fixes the issues I saw on Kirby's epic yarn as well.
Curious about how you formatted your drive to FAT32. I've never heard of that being a repeatable problem before. Did you follow our FAT32 guide? or did you use another method to do the formatting? If the latter, I'm curious if you used a method that we recommend to do the formatting if you'd have the same problem or not.

Latest Loaders CFG v70r65 GX r1226 WiiFlow 4.2.1 Other downloads DM/DML 2.11
I followed the FAT 32 guide from this site and did the 32kb clusters because I use devolution as well.
When I formatted to ntfs I followed the ntfs guide that is linked to the fat32 guide. When I tested at my friends house I did not format his ntfs drive because he already had stuff on it but it worked fine.
Tonight when I tested the ntfs drive I used USB loader gx and didn't even follow the steps in this guide but ran everything default and it worked fine.

A celebration of food and music in Kingsbridge
Posted: April 24, 2013|
Kingsbridge is set to stage its second festival of food and music.
Taking place centred around Kingsbridge's bandstand on the stunning quay, during June 21 to 23, there will be an array of local produce on offer to taste.
At 6.30pm on Friday, the fun will really start when the music begins with surf rock from Beachfield, Hot Diggety, Aftersun and AJs Big Band.
During the weekend there will be opportunities to taste wines from nearby Sharpham vineyard, indulge yourself at Red & White's champagne bar or sample Heron Valley's organic cider and innovative cocktails.
Quercus Brewery will have a selection of real ales and Owens Coffee will be providing coffees.
A Cypriot Spit Roast BBQ will be available from Bantham Beach's Gastro Bus, Red Earth Deli will be offering a wide range of food, whilst Lemon Jelli will be serving up crepes and wood fired pizzas.
Farmer Phil will be dishing out lamb wraps, Fancy That serving its exotic Caribbean cuisine, Burrow Farm showcasing their steak and Truly Treats with cakes and sweets.
There will also be Salcombe Dairy's ice-cream and South Devon Chilli Farm's award-winning sauces, salsas and fiery chilli chocolate.
The founders of the Kingsbridge Food & Music Festival are Tasha Green, owner of local organic drinks company Heron Valley, and Steve Mammatt of Actionwest Business Systems.
"The town was buzzing during and after the weekend of the last festival. There was no question about whether or not we should host it again this year." Tasha said.
Steve said: "Once again, there has been a great deal of support from both traders and companies in the town and bands and artists from all around the region."
Music organiser Rob Wheeler said: "With such wonderful diversity within the food and drink element of the festival, it makes total sense to present equally diverse music from some of the finest local bands and artists available.
"The music will be in full swing, helping us all get into a great festival mood."

Summary of Islamic Obligations
Salat includes your zakat–not 2½ percent but 100% percent. Because when you work and make money and go from one year to another year you are only obliged to give 2 ½ percent of the profit–not the capital. You are going to give on what you have profit.
Out of your capital and it is 2½ percent. Whatever you have of jewelry and gold or any kind of savings is money on which you must give 2½ percent, from one year to another. But in salat you do not only give that. Because when you work you are spending time to go work five; six; eight hours a day making money, saving and then paying 2 ½ percent.
In salat you are giving your whole time to Allah swt. If you make ten dollars in one hour; if you spend one hour in salat, it is as if you are giving the entire ten dollars, not just 2 ½ percent. And the ten dollars might be spent and won't last for one year and you don't pay any zakat on it, but the salat you are giving. You are giving the entire amount so it is in a geometrical multiplication that increases from 2½ percent to 100%. That is real zakat! You are giving everything that belongs to you. And the most important thing that belongs to you is when Allah gave you the body and this spirit–you are giving to Allah (swt) you are giving to Allah's will.
Salat as Siyam
Second in salat you are holding your tongue from eating, drinking, backbiting, speaking. Not only your tongue, but your whole body from touching. Because in siyam a man cannot approach his wife or vice versa, because it is not allowed. Eating is not allowed. In salat you cannot do anything like that. In siyam you can fast but you can also speak. In salat it is more you fast you cannot speak and you cannot approach your spouse. That is a higher level of fasting that is included in salat.
Visiting Ka`aba
The last pillar of Islam is hajj. In your prayer it is as if you are making pilgrimage five times a day. When you direct yourself to the qiblah as soon as you say "Allahu Akbar."
Even in Mecca near the end of the renovation of al-Haram ash-Sharif, you could not see the Ka`aba. And from outside Mecca you cannot see the Ka`aba. Anywhere in Mecca even you cannot see the Ka`aba. From outside Mecca you can face the Ka'aba [without seeing it] and in Mecca and in the haram you might face it without seeing it.
As if you are going on a trip through your salat because hajj is to visit the Holy Ka`aba. Ziyarat al Ka'aba al-musharrafah.
The most important pillar (rukn) of hajj is to be in the Holy House, al-Baytu 'l-haraam. So the most important thing for us is when we say "Allahu Akbar", is to see it through our hearts, through our mind, through every cell of our body and with every drop of our blood. EVERYTHING is saying "Allahu Akbar" in the presence of the Ka'aba, the House of Allah (swt) on earth, which Allah wanted people to face and direct themselves toward. Allah knows what kind of secrets and tajalli are there. So in your prayer it is as if you are directing yourself by disconnecting with the dunya and facing the Ka`aba. So it as if you have gone there for hajj.
So in salat you find all the five pillars of Islam. That is why you cannot be excused from leaving one prayer, else there will be heavy punishment. If you want heavy punishment that is up to you. If you want to save yourself, then Oh, Muslims let us keep our connection with Islam tight!
Wrapping it all up
Islam is five pillars. The Prophet (s) wrapped all of them, shahada, salah, zakat, siyam and hajj with two cords: iman bil-ghayb, belief in the Unseen, and the state of ihsan – perfected character. These five pillars, which every Muslim performs, cannot be perfected without first tying up salat, prayer. That is because prayer includes all five pillars. One cannot perform the prayer properly when one's heart is dirty and damaged – when one's faith is damaged. It must be wrapped like a gift. When you look at a present, wrapped nicely from outside, it looks very pleasing, and when you open it, it is also very pleasing. So how are you presenting your prayers to Allah (swt) when your heart is not clean? Cleanliness of the heart by means of attaining the state of Iman and then the state of Ihsan is very essential. We will continue about that, insha-Allah another time.

Completely agree. Ironically his downfall with the fans is he played hurt quite often (when he could have sat out). Instead of being viewed as a gamer, his quiet personality was mistaken for disinterest. By playing hurt, his stats took a hit and many viewed him as an under-achiever.
He looks old now but he can still hit.
Can't agree with this one. I don't think Houston has that person that you can't allow to beat you. Tulo, Pujols, Votto etc are elite players that you dance around like you are in a mine field. Pence does not scare me like that and I am actually more afraid of Lee's homer potential.
I agree that these series are vital. If the Mets have a losing record on this home stand, I think the mountain will be too high to climb. The entire year will be spent trying to catch .500. Losing the opener to Houston doesn't help. The clock is ticking.
Rafi, I felt Beltran was the higher priority because of his all around game. But I totally agree that DelGado is a hall of famer and he has not been adequately replaced in the lineup.
If you look at David Wrights RISP average when DelGado was at the top of his game .. it is astounding. DelGado's greatness was not only on the stat sheet but he elevated his teammates by being "the guy". He handled that burden well and Wright flourished when he was allowed to be somewhat under the radar. The loss of Olerud was profound and so has been the loss of DelGado. I think we will have a GOOD one in Ike .. but not a GREAT one.
I like Murphy in the 2 spot but not Turner. It's a loaded question. I don't like either of those guys at 2B ... but assuming that's what we are dealing with ... I think Murphy would fit well at the 2 spot.
I have mixed feelings about Thole in the 2 spot. His skills certainly are suited for it. However, when Paulino returns, he will get about 1/3 of the playing time. This means on the days Thole sits, someone else will have to bat second (Paulino is not a good fit there).
So I prefer to stay with Pagan. Pagan is another speedster who will not clog up the bases if Reyes makes an out and then he gets on. Also, Thole's discipline at the plate is well suited for the eighth spot. It is not as galmorous a position in the order but it is still important to have someone who can drive in runs there and consistently "clear the pitcher".
You're right he DID manage that game like it was game 7 of the world series. It reminded me of last year when Jerry pulled out all the stops to win that 20 inning game in St. Louis. Both times, the managers were correct, a win was DESPERATELY needed. Even Josh Thole admitted after the game it was a "must" win. How often do you hear THAT from a player in the month of April.
Ironic, as soon as the game ended Sunday, the first thing I said was "now I can exhale"!! Great minds.
It's been ten years and"ground zero" is STILL in the rebuilding process. You certainly didn't choose the best example for a successful foray into rebuilding.
What impact do you think the lineup has on Wright's performance in those situations? In 2006, Wright was surrounded by Beltran at his best and Carlos DelGado. Pitching around Wright was not really an option. Is there anybody on the current Mets roster that would make a team take their chances with Wright?
It's hard to quantify but I do think the lack of protection along with the feeling that he has to do it all has played into Wright's declining production in those situations.
I am glad to see you did not declare this game a moral victory. Met fandom is in a state of transition. Many are happy to see that the team played hard all nine innings, showed heart and didn't give up. But that should be an expectation. The transition will be complete when Met fans are very UNHAPPY with comebacks that don't result in wins. Until that happens on a consistent basis, we will be left with feeling good about "the way" we lost.

It may be a sign of the times that an increasing number of adolescent girls require admission into various types of mental health treatment centers, yet this fact is undeniable. Fortunately mental health treatment centers for adolescent girls offer several programs. Some treatment centers specialize in one specific mental health issue. Others offer counseling for several disorders. The centers are highly confidential, compassionate and sensitive to the needs of these young women. Therapists are college or university educated and are typically certified.
Typical issues that adolescent girls struggle with include eating disorders, family dysfunction, drug addictions, behavioral problems and anger management, among others. These issues are disturbing yet surprisingly common.
There are many reasons why adolescent girls suffer from such serious disorders. Girls with eating disorders may be affected by media portrayals of women with unlikely figures that are thin yet bosomy. Adolescent girls fail to realize that such pictures are usually airbrushed to attain bodily perfection and they may not be aware that many of their role models themselves suffer from serious eating disorders.

I went because after years of being an ardent supporter of team-based primary care, I decided last spring to switch to practicing geriatrics in a solo micropractice.
This is a career development which I still consider with mild surprise. I was after all (and continue to be) a huge fan of Tom Bodenheimer's work proposing that primary care should be delivered by high-functioning teams, rather than by overwhelmed clinicians trying to do everything themselves.
However, finding a high-functioning team to join is not so easy. Part of the problem is the still-predominating fee-for-service payment system, which generally doesn't reimburse medical work that isn't provided face-to-face and by a "billable provider" (i.e. physicians, NPs, PAs, but not RNs). This can really cripple outpatient geriatric care, which I believe ideally would involve plenty of phone follow-up, care coordination, and nurse-led coaching interventions.
Of course we now have a move towards accountable care organizations (ACOs) and value-based payments, but it's not yet clear how this trend will mean for the experience of the average on-the-ground primary care clinician. (Will ACOs be yet another stakeholder complaining about what we didn't do? Or will they lead to substantive support in helping us do our work well?)
Furthermore, even when funding mechanisms support a team-approach to primary care, one still needs the team to be high-functioning. As most people who've worked on teams can tell you, not all teams work well. This is especially true in primary care, where healthcare providers may be asked to take on very different roles without getting adequate coaching and support in making the requested changes. (To his credit, Bodenheimer is well aware of the rhetoric-reality gap when it comes to teamwork.)
What's a clinician to do when she wants to provide high quality outpatient care but is worn out by primary care as usual?
My answer -- for now -- is to try an independent micropractice. The micropractice is the brainchild of Dr. Gordon Moore, a family medicine doc who realized that by leveraging technology to strip his practice setting down to a minimum of staff (as in, none) and overhead, he could practice better primary care. Better, as in, his patients were happier and he was happier. In particular, Moore found that this model:
- Improved access, leading to better care and better patient satisfaction. Being the only one answering the phone means a clinician can respond quickly to patient requests, and is always in the loop.
- Allowed more attention to direct patient care. A small lean practice requires less management and coordination, especially when technology is effectively leveraged to handle administrative work.
- Facilitated longer patient visits. The average primary care practice spends 50% of revenue to cover overhead. Less overhead means less need to pack in revenue-generating visits every day, which means a clinician can earn a decent salary while giving patients longer visits (often resulting in higher patient satisfaction, provider satisfaction, and better care).
This last point, however, is what makes many primary care wonks nervous. Longer visits may mean happier patients, but if a clinician can make a living caring for a smaller patient panel, many start to worry about exacerbating the looming shortage of primary care providers.
Still, the micropractice model in many cases has led to macrosatisfaction for patients and physicians, and that is no trivial thing.
In fact, in listening to Gordon present this past weekend on the key tenets of Ideal Medical Practices (he has very sensibly broadened the IMP term and focuses on what constitutes ideal outpatient medical care, rather than on micropractices per se), I was struck by how well the IMP concepts dovetail with what I hear patient/consumer advocates saying they want.
What I see patients/consumers clamoring for, and how the IMP model meets the need:
- Access: they want to be able to reach their healthcare provider promptly, as needed.
- IMPs offer excellent phone access and usually open access scheduling.
- Relationship: they want to feel that the healthcare provider knows and understands them, and they want to be able to work with a compatible provider repeatedly.
- IMPs prioritize the patient-physician relationship; in small IMPs almost all patient needs are met by the patient's usual provider.
- Patient/consumer centered care: they want the healthcare to be organized around their priorities, and not just what the provider, or healthcare system, thinks should be the priorities.
- IMPs emphasize care that is driven by the patient's needs, goals and values. Many use the "How's Your Health?" online questionnaire to regularly provide clinician's with the patient's self-assessment of health and needs.
- Technology: they want healthcare providers to communicate via email and other new technologies, and to keep up with emerging technologies that might improve health and care coordination.
- Virtually all IMPs use technology to maintain a high-efficiency/low-overhead practice. Most IMP providers are available to patients through some form of messaging.
- Coordination: they want their primary healthcare provider to communicate, connect, and coordinate with other providers.
- Technology often facilitates this.
- Support in self-management: they want providers to help them feel empowered and confident in their ability to self-manage their health.
- By leveraging a collaborative relationship, a focus on patient-centered care, and technology, IMPs are generally able to successfully address this need.
In short, IMPS generally offer a smaller intimate practice setting which is well-suited to providing the close and collaborative patient-physician relationship that historically has been the foundation of good primary care. Just as many of us enjoy patronizing smaller local businesses, especially if we get to know the owners, patients often enjoy a smaller independently owned practice.
So if patient engagement really is the "blockbuster drug of the century," as David Chase proclaimed in Forbes magazine last month, then IMP practices should certainly be on the radar of those looking for high-quality primary care.
What about team-based patient-centered medical homes? Well, those are a good concept too, but transforming practices may take some time. (You can read about lessons learned from the National Demonstration Project here.)
In the meantime, yours truly is trying out the micropractice/IMP model for herself, and will keep you posted on how it goes. Fortunately for me, the IMP community is largely focused on providing practical assistance to other clinicians trying to start or maintain IMP practices, so I've been getting some much appreciated support and advice. ((Disclosure: the IMPs have formed a nonprofit group, and I paid to become a member last April, which gives me access to some members-only informational resources.) I'd certainly heartily endorse this creative and spunky group to other clinicians contemplating a similar practice shift. Thanks IMPs!

PULASKI - The Pulaski Police Department has joined the Wisconsin Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force.
"We are pleased to have you as a member of the Wisconsin ICAC Task Force and pledge our full support to you as we work together to make Wisconsin safer for our children," said Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen.
As part of this affiliation, the Pulaski Police Department is eligible for:
"Pulaski Police Department is committed to doing everything we can to protect our children and seek out predators who desire to take advantage of them," said Police Chief Randal Dunford."We are grateful to be able to partner with the Wisconsin Department of Justice and the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force to fight this growing problem. By law enforcement working together in this collaborative effort we will send a clear message that the internet is not a fishing well for sexual predators. We will do everything within our power to bring them to justice. By working together we will do a better job of educating our community on the dangers of the internet as well as arrest those who use it to commit crimes against children," said Chief Dunford.

This year marks the 11th anniversary of the founding of the Wisconsin Department of Justice Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. "In the past decade, Wisconsin's ICAC Task Force and Affiliate Agencies have arrested 728 suspects, executed 1,017 search warrants, and rescued countless numbers of children throughout the state," said Van Hollen.
According to Van Hollen, there are over 22,304 internet protocol addresses in Wisconsin containing and offering to distribute known images of child pornography. One in seven children are asked online to engage in sexual activities, sexual talk, or provide personal sexual information.
Van Hollen has placed a priority on law enforcement's proactive response to the growing problem of internet crimes against children. To that end, Van Hollen has directed a 67% increase in the number of special agents assigned to the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force within the Division of Criminal Investigation.
In addition to expanding investigative capacity internally, Van Hollen and the Department of Justice have continued to add additional local affiliates to the Wisconsin ICAC Task Force. The number of local law enforcement partners to the Department of Justice's ICAC Task Force has increased by more than five times to 157 since Attorney General Van Hollen took office. You can access a list of affiliates at http://www.doj.state.wi.us/dci/icac/afflist.asp
"Let internet predators take note. Our commitment is unceasing. We will identify you, arrest you, and take you off the street; we will follow you to every area of the internet, no matter where you try to hide; and we will work together in law enforcement to stay one step ahead of you," said Van Hollen.
