10 Best Practices Law Students & New Admittees Should Do At DCBA
1) You've done the first thing - becoming a member of DCBA. Congratulations! Once you have been admitted let us know so we can update your membership.
2) Attend as many networking events as you can. Almost monthly there are Happy Hour events throughout DuPage. These are FREE events. They are attended by experienced attorneys and judges. Don't just attend for the free drinks, introduce yourself to members. They really do want to help young lawyers. The best way to get to know people is to meet them face to face and often. Once a year DCBA travels to downtown Chicago and DeKalb and hosts a free pizza party. Watch for information on these February events.
3) Stop by the Attorney Resource Center (ARC) at the DuPage Judicial Building - 3rd Floor. This is where lawyers hang out. The best time is Doughnut Thursday as more lawyers are coming in and out between 8:30-10:30. Don't be afraid to approach your future colleagues and ask them a question or get their opinion. This is also FREE. Note: you must pass through security to enter the court house and no cell phones are allowed.
4) When you can - attend the Free MCLE meetings. Each committee hosts several MCLE meetings a year. These occur over the lunch hour and offer free pizza. If you have chosen committees of interest in your profile you will be on the email list and be notified of these meetings. Again, a great place to learn more about the law, and meet lawyers in the area you are considering practicing.
5) Keep track of what is going on at DCBA and read the DCBA Brief and emails. This will give you something to discuss with others at the networking events.
6) Sit in on court cases happening in the court house. You'll learn a lot and will be able to ask potent questions to the attorneys you meet in the ARC or at other networking events.
7) Get prospective employers to sit up and take notice and get published! The DuPage County Bar Association's award-winning magazine, DCBA Brief, accepts article submissions from law students and attorneys. DCBA Brief is used by Thomson Reuters in their Westlaw resource library and has been cited in cases regularly. Make your resume stand out from the rest! Only original material, never published elsewhere will be considered. For more information about how to submit an article visit: http://www.dcbabrief.org.
8) Volunteer! Lawyers Lending a Hand could always use more hands. This is a great opportunity to get to know lawyers and judges on a different level, by working side by side on monthly local service projects. Check the calendar for upcoming Lawyers Lending a Hand events.
9) New Admittees, participate in the Lawyer to Lawyer Mentoring program which matches new attorneys with experienced attorneys. Mentees must complete within the first three years after being admitted. It is a one year program with start dates in fall and early spring. Both lawyers earn 6 hours of PRMCLE.
10) New Admittees get your Court ID Pass at the Bar Center. This pass will allow you to bypass the lines and bring in your cell phone. This is only for attorneys with a valid ARDC card. There is a cost of $30 for new card, and $20 to renew each year. Cards are also good in Kane County.

Technology tree
In strategy computer games, the technology tree or tech tree is a hierarchical visual representation of the possible sequences of upgrades a player can take, by means of research. The diagram is tree-shaped in the sense that it branches at certain intervals, allowing the player to choose one sequence or another.[1] Typically, at the beginning of a session of a strategy game, a player may only have a few options for technologies to research. Each technology that a player researches will open up more options, but may or may not, depending on the computer game the player is playing, close off the paths to other options. The tech tree is the representation of all possible paths of research a player can take.
A player who is engaged in research activities is said to be "teching up," "going up the tech tree," or "moving up the tech tree." Analysis of a tech tree can lead players to memorize and use specific build orders.
Types of tech tree[edit]
Prerequisites for technology advances[edit]
In many real-time strategy (RTS) games, the player needs particular buildings in order to research specific techs or build specific advanced units (StarCraft, Age of Empires, Empire Earth, Total Annihilation). In many turn-based strategy (TBS) games the prerequisite is one or more lower-level technologies, with no dependency on specific buildings (Master of Orion series, Civilization series, Space Empires series).[2][3][4] Most strategy games however use both systems. both requiring dedicated buildings and in advanced cases pre requisite technology, sometimes culminating in a game ending super-weapon of some kind.
The structures of tech trees vary quite widely. In the simplest cases (e.g. Master of Orion) there are several completely separate research areas and one could research all the way up to the highest level in one area without researching other areas (although this would often be far from ideal). In more complex cases[citation needed] (e.g. Civilization) every technology above the starting level has more than one prerequisite and one has to research most of the lower-level technologies in order to research any of the top-level technologies. And there are many possibilities between these two variants, for example in Space Empires researching to a specified level in one field may enable the player both to research to a higher level in that field and to start research in a new field which was previously not available.[2]
Major 4X games like Civilization and Master of Orion have a much larger technology tree than most other strategy games; as an extreme example, Space Empires III has over 200 technologies.[5][6]
Are all technologies available?[edit]
Some RTSs make different techs available to different races or cultures (especially StarCraft; but many RTSs have special units or buildings for different cultures, e.g. Age of Empires expansion pack and later versions, Red Alert 2). Most TBSs make all technologies available to all cultures (e.g. Civilization). Master of Orion (original version) is a complex special case in this respect: the full tree is the same for all; but in each game each player gets a subset of the full tech tree that depends on which race was selected.
Balance between civilian and military techs[edit]
In many RTS games tech advances are almost exclusively military (e.g. StarCraft). But in most TBS and some RTS games the research and production costs of top-end military techs are so high that you have to build up your economy and your research productivity first (RTS - Age of Empires and Empire Earth, where one of the most significant costs is going up an epoch; TBS - the Civilization series and Master of Orion series).
What happens after researching everything[edit]
In many games there's nothing useful to do and the player may scrap research centers to save maintenance costs and/or devote the resources to something else (Space Empires series).
In later installments of the Civilization series the last technology (called "future tech") represents an amalgamation of all possible future discoveries and can be researched repeatedly. In Civilization V, it increases a player's score, while in Civilization IV it raises the health and the happiness in the empire. Note that to reach the last technology, all spaceship technologies required to win must also have been discovered, so the game will be nearing its conclusion.
In the Galactic Civilizations series the final technology solves the nature of existence, and is victory.
In the Master of Orion series more advanced research reduces the size and cost of spaceship components, and "hyper-advanced" research in areas which have military applications therefore enables players to build more high-tech weapons into a given ship size and at lower production cost.
In Rise of Nations, the final four technologies result in such an advantage that the game will likely end quickly. Also, the "knowledge" resource needed to research is also used late in the game to produce cruise missiles and nuclear weapons.
The concept of a tech tree originally appeared in Francis Tresham's Civilization board game, which was released in 1980 by Avalon Hill.
The arcade shoot 'em up Gradius used a power-up system functionally identical to a tech tree in 1985.
Tech trees started showing up in turn-based strategy games around 1990, where Mega Lo Mania had a system of research levels/epochs that allowed the deployment of better units and defences. The 1991 video game Civilization was probably the first game to feature the same basic structure of tech trees seen in games today.[citation needed]

Who's Online:
The second half of your story shows considerable improvement as your writing style develops. Keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to the next part of the series.
Author's Response: Thank you, as I said, it may take a while though.
I enjoy the way you've interwoven personal rivalries and politics within the frame of the military campaign. You might also want to include a few scenes of camp life to make it more realistic. A soldier's existence is really long episodes of tedium. punctuated by brief moments of terror. I look forward to your next installments.
Author's Response: Without giving too much away the next chapter has less conflict and is more about Brego's personal feelings so it will contain more camp life, thank you for the comment though.
Good action. Well done! I'm looking forward to the next installment.
Author's Response: Thany You Karlmir, always nice to hear your reviews as they are usually compliments and everyone loves that. rnThe next chappter will not be untill at least tomorrow as I have work and alot of college work to do. :( sorry

Gesturing at Your TV Isn't Ready for Prime Time
The Microsoft Kinect is fun, but it shows that so-called natural user interfaces still have a long way to go.
The Microsoft Kinect, a sensor that works with the Xbox 360 game console, offers the first experience most people will have with a "natural" user interface. A player controls the $150 device with voice and gestures; there's no need to hold any sort of controller or wear any special gloves or clothing. In a recent talk at MIT, Microsoft's chief research and strategy officer, Craig Mundie, described the Kinect as a preview of what's to come for user interfaces, suggesting that what works in gaming now will soon be used for shopping, design, and many other common computing tasks. Instead of thinking about controllers, keyboards, and other "application-specific prosthetics," Mundie said, people could focus on the task at hand, making software much more appealing and easy to use.
But while using the Kinect for gaming is a fun and interesting experience, the device also illustrates that natural user interfaces have a long way to go before they could be suited to most everyday applications.
The Kinect uses both software and hardware to pick up a person's position, gestures, and voice. To measure position, it emits an infrared beam and measures how long that light takes to bounce back from objects it encounters. Four microphones can receive voice commands, and software filters out background noise and even conversation from other people in the room.
Since all these systems need to be calibrated, setting up the Kinect takes some time. After you connect the sensor to an Xbox 360 and position it near the center line of a television, the Kinect's motors automatically adjust its angle so that it can get a complete picture of the user.
The Kinect also needs a lot of space. It needs to be able to see the floor as a reference point for objects in the room, and the user has to stand at least six feet from the device (eight feet if two people plan to use it).
It also tests the sound levels in the room and adjusts for noise coming from the television's speakers. If anything changes in the room—if furniture is moved, for instance, or the sound environment changes significantly—the device is thrown off and needs to be recalibrated.
All this means that as an everyday interface, the Kinect would make little practical sense. Its space requirements strain the capacity of a typical urban apartment. If Microsoft wants to make natural user interfaces accessible to everyone, it will have to consider the needs of the dorm room and the cubicle. The calibration process is also too finicky to make the Kinect useful for any critical application. Users would never tolerate needing to recalibrate in order to check e-mail.

How to Create
Legendary Ribs AT HOME
Start With The Right Product
At Texas Roadhouse we use only American grown product. USDA #1 inspected fresh domestic Pork Loin Back Ribs. Starting with the right product will give you a Legendary result. We will show you how to make the best ribs possible with the equipment available in an average home kitchen. Just remember that most home kitchens do not have the equipment we have in our restaurant, and the product may differ some from our fall-off-the-bone ribs.
STEP ONE: Seasoning,
· In a deep baking pan, add water and some type of Liquid Smoke. (We do this step a little differently at the restaurant, due to our equipment.)
· Mix well.
· Take Ribs, use a shaker and your favorite dry seasoning (we have our seasoning for sale online at TexasRoadhouse.com) and thoroughly coat each of the Ribs.
· Place Ribs in the pan.
STEP TWO: Cooking
· Place pans in 300° F oven and bake slowly until done.
· Ribs are fully cooked when the bone in the center pulls freely from the meat. At this point, remove from the oven.
STEP THREE: Grilling
· Pick your favorite BBQ sauce for re-heating and basting the Ribs.
· Pre-heat grill.
· Brush and season the grill before use.
· Place the Rack of Ribs vertically, with the underside down to the grates.
· Heat until sizzling hot.
· Turn Ribs over and baste the underside of the Ribs, and heat until sizzling hot.
· Baste the top.
· Turn the Ribs over one last time and baste with a final coat.
· Serve to your guests and accept their complements graciously!!!
Remember, these are only tips for you to try it at home. This is not the Texas Roadhouse Legendary Recipe. We can't give that to just anyone, you know. If you want the real deal you will have to stop by your area Texas Roadhouse. We hope to see you there!

Whether it's our Game-Changing approach to Product Design, our development of the first Bolt-On High-Clearance Production Fenders, our Lifetime Customer Service policy, or our Patented Game-Changing Suspension Technology, everything we do is only worth doing if we can not only do it better, but significantly different then what others expect.
We simply don't settle.
Our greatest asset is you, our customer.
If we can't make you happy, we have no reason to be in business.
Our History...
Originally founded in 2006, as Rev111, we took the Jeeping community by storm with the first and only Arched Tube Fender for the Jeep TJ, achieving High-Line clearance without cutting your stock fenders or hood. Changing our name to MetalCloak in January 2009, we expanded our product line across multiple platforms from CJ-5 - JK -- continuing to gain the most clearance and easiest installation in the industry.
In 2010 we entered the Suspension market with the revolutionary 6Pak Shock System and the Duroflex Joint, the first high-misalignment vibration dampening joint.
Our Philosophy...
At MetalCloak we are a Systems-Based Company. Our philosophy is to develop systems that work incredibly well together, designing every individual part to function and improve that system.
From Computer Aided Design (CAD) of every part, to CNC manufacturing processes, we set a high standard of quality control to ensure that every product will fit your rig the right way every time!
And, of course, MetalCloak is a Certified Made in the USA company.
The Frame-Built Bumper System available for the CJ, YJ, TJ/LJ and JK Wrangler is a revolutionary system providing a uniquely modular build process that is Frame-Built - meaning built around the strongest point on your rig - your frame. You can have a bumper that is as unique as you are.
Our People...
Aaron Colacchia - President/CEO
Aaron is an outdoor enthusiast whose passion for great engineering and innovative product design led him to acquire Rev111 after their close in early 2008. Aaron has designed and run multi-million dollar manufacturing facilities for several international companies and is bringing that expertise to MetalCloak. Aaron has his choice of rigs... Cloak1, our 2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ, Cloak3, a 2009 Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited Rubicon outfitted with our Overline products, and Cloak5, "Yellow Fever" our 2008 JK Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon outfitted with our Overland Products.
Matson "Matsonian" Breakey - VP Sales & Marketing

From hiking the Pacific Crest Trail to founding the world famous West Coast Brew Fest, Matson loves the outdoors and bringing together people for nothing less than the time of their lives! Joining the MetalCloak team in 2009, Matson has developed a reputation as MetalCloak's designated Jeep Abuser. If it can break, he'll find a way to do it. Matson's rig was Cloak2 - a 1993 Jeep Wrangler YJ, but now drives most of MetalCloak's shop rigs as well as racing in the KOH Everyman Challenge class with his 1977 CJ7, designated "Land Use Liberty" #4576. Matson holds the current status of 2013 Nor Cal Rock Racing Series Champion and made it to mile 38 of the 2013 EMC Stock Mod Class.

LimeShare Pro-User guide
Installation and Starting process
Step 1
To install LimeShare Pro double click the installation kit and then follow the easy step by step process. Accept the License Agreement and choose the location for installing LimeShare Pro. We strongly recommend leaving the default location.
Step 2
If this is your first time running LimeShare Pro, you will be guided through the setup process to configure basic settings. Any files you will downloading are saved into the Save folder by default, and any files in the Shared folders are automatically added to the LimeShare Pro Library and shared over the Gnutella network.
Step 3
Choose the network speed that best matches the type of connection you use to access the Internet. Decide if you would like LimeShare to start automatically when you start your computer choose whether you want the program to perform a system search and add your multimedia files added to Library.
Is it important what version of LimeShare Pro I use?
Yes, as a matter of fact, using the latest version of LimeShare Pro allows users to enjoy the best program functionality. The bugs and errors our users have reported in older versions have been fixed for our latest version. Also, please note our software will automatically notify you if there is a new version available.
The installation process freezes at "Installing Java".
This error is caused by the the Java installer. To solve this, please uninstall any previous version of LimeShare Pro and Java Runtime Environment from the Add/Remove Programs located in the Control Panel, point your browser to www.java.com and install Java latest version, and only then install LimeShare Pro.
When I try to start LimeShare Pro nothing happens.
First check to make sure that LimeShare Pro is not already running in your system tray, next to the clock. If you see it, click on the program icon to restore it.
If you can not locate the software icon, it means that you may have accidentally uninstalled it. Please update to the latest version of LimeShare Pro by downloading the installer here.
If LimeShare Pro is not running and you are sure that it is still installed on your Windows system, then the Java client might be corrupted. To address this problem, please update the Java Runtime Environment, uninstall our software, download the latest version and then restart the installation process.
When I try to start the program I get "LimeShare Pro was unable to initialize".
Some security software are designed to block loop-back connections for all programs on your PC unless an exception has been previously created. For instance, if you are running Norton Antivirus, try to search for the Internet Worm Protection feature, and add LimeShare Pro to the list of exceptions.
Searching over the Gnutella network with LimeShare Pro
If you know exactly what you are looking for, hit the Search Tab and perform a keyword search by typing keywords into the search field, then click the Search button.
If you want to perform a more refined search then use the following selections:
Images field - Searches for files with an image file extension or image metadata. Available search fields include Title, Description, Artist, License Type, and License.
Documents field - Searches for files with a document file extension or document metadata. Available search fields include Title, Topic, Author, License Type, and License.
Audio field - Searches for files with an audio file extension or audio metadata. Available search fields include Title, Artist, Album, Genre and License Type. If you need more options mark More Search Options and then you'll get access to: Track, Type, Year, Length, Language, Bitrate, Comments, Copyright and Action.
Video field - Searches for files with a video file extension or video metadata. Available search fields include Title, Type, Year, Rating and Length. More options like, Comments, License Type, Copyright, Height, Width, Bitrate, Action, Director, Studio, Language, Stars, Producer, and Subtitles.
Programs field - Searches for files with program file extensions. Available search fields include Name, Publisher, Platform, License Type, and License.
If you are interested in new stuff just hit the What's New button and check out recently added content in the Gnutella network.
If you want to browse, let's say, your friend's computer, click the Direct Connect tab and enter your friend's IP address. This will give you access to all his shared items.
You can also change the Search settings. Go to Tools -> Options and then double click Searching. Here you can adjust the Maximum Number of Simultaneous Searches, License Warning, Quality of the Search Results and the Minimum Speed of the Search Results.
What types of files can I search for and share using LimeShare Pro?
LimeShare Pro can virtually search for any type of file, allowing its users to share audio, video, and program files, books, photos and the list goes on.
I can not find the file I am looking for.
The content of the Gnutella network consists solely of files which people running Gnutella software are sharing and if no one is sharing that particular file then you won't be able to find it using LimeShare Pro.
Since the entire Gnutella network isn't always reached with each search, searching for the same thing a second time may give you more results. The Gnutella network is continuously growing. Basically, the more people use the Gnutella network, the more good content will be available to everyone.
LimeShare Pro is capable of downloading files from different host computers at the same time through a process called swarming. Swarming will enable our software to download at much higher speeds since each host adds to the total download speed.
Download Messages
Connected - You are connected to the host, LimeShare Pro prepares the file download.
Downloading from number host - Indicates how many hosts you are swarming from. The higher the better.
Verifying File Contents - After the file finishes downloading, the program must rearrange the parts and check that the file integrity.
Saving File - After the file is verified, it gets transferred from a temporary download location to your Save Folder.
Complete - Your file is now in your Save Folder and ready to be used.
Content Removed - The file you attempted to download was flagged inappropriate for sharing.
Need More Sources – The application is not able to download the file because all known hosts are unavailable for different reasons.
Awaiting Sources - The same as "Need More Sources" with the only difference being that you clicked the Find More Sources button without waiting to find more sources.
Queued - You reached the maximum number of simultaneous downloads as specified in the Options, and the file is placed in a local queue. You can either wait for other downloads to finish or you can increase the maximum number of simultaneous downloads.
Waiting for Stable Connections – LimeShare Pro is unable to check for more sources because you are not connected to the Gnutella network or your connection is unstable. Connect to the Gnutella network and try again.
File Corrupted – LimeShare Pro detected a corruption in the file.
Recovering Corrupted File – The software will try to fix a corrupted file.
Tips to boost downloads
- Make your searches as specific as possible to get the most pertinent search results.
- When selecting a file for download, choose the file with the most sources in the "#" column.
- If possible, download multiple versions of the same file simultaneously because one could get you more sources.
- Repeat the search for the same file while the download is in progress. LimeShare Pro will automatically add new sources to the current download.
- Disconnect from the network, then reconnect, and try the search again. Cycling through ultrapeers helps you reach more parts of the network.
WARNING: Please bear in mind that executable files may contain viruses, spyware, or other malware.
Some files take too long to download
The speed at which a download takes place is limited by both your bandwidth and by the bandwidth of the uploader. A file can not be downloaded faster than the uploader is capable of sending it, nor can it be transferred faster than the downloader is capable of receiving it. So, if you have a fast Internet connection and you are trying to download a file from a person with a slow connection, your transfer is going to take place rather slowly.
I am behind a firewall
LimeShare Pro will work when a user is behind a firewall, but will also encounter connection problems with certain type of firewalls. We strongly recommend adding LimeShare Pro to your firewall exceptions list. In general, if you see the message connected, in the connection status of the lower left corner, you should be able to download and upload files.
How to avoid downloading fake files?
Some servers on the Gnutella network serve advertisements with false filenames to fake popular search results. If you find yourself downloading search results, you can stop receiving search results from that host by simply right clicking the search result and selecting Block User option.
Additionally, you can mark suspicious search results as junk by selecting them, right clicking and selecting Junk. If a file has been marked as junk but proves to be a valid search result, you can always unmark it following the same previous steps. LimeShare Pro will learn over time which search results are valid and filter out the spam results accordingly.
Exiting LimeShare Pro during active downloads
If you exit the program, any downloads that were in progress will terminate at this time. Rest assured, these downloads will resume the next time you start the application.
Windows 8
All these products are compatible with Windows 8

In Memorium: James Gandolfini
Posted by Alia Haddad on November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am
Late yesterday afternoon, word came out that esteemed actor James Gandolfini suddenly and unexpectedly passed away. This great loss is not only felt by his family and friends, but also by the movie-going public. While I cannot speak about his personal character–nor would it be my place–it behooves us to remember all the characters he brought to life for us on the big and small screen.
Undoubtedly most notable for playing Tony Soprano in the HBO celebrated New Jersey-based mob show, The Sopranos, for eight years, Gandolfini got his start in acting a little more than a decade earlier with bit parts such as in 1987's Shock! Shock! Shock! and 1991's The Last Boy Scout. After landing a similarly small role in cult classic, True Romance, things started to pick up for Gandolfini's acting career. The mid to late 90s were a heyday with roles in archetypal films of the era like Get Shorty, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, A Civil Action, and 8MM. And then in 1999 came his take on Tony Soprano, a move that would prove to all us spectacle lovers–of both big and small scale–just how crucial Gandolfini was to this world as well as how nuanced his craft was.
After The Sopranos came to an end in 2007, Gandolfini continued his relationship with HBO, starring in Cinema Verite and producing Alive Day Memories: Home from Iraq and Wartorn: 1861-2010.
Gandolfini's career and life was tragically cut short. He will be dearly missed by the public he captivated.

I was wondering what would be the difference between Security Policies vs. Stateless Firewall? (besides policies allowing scheduling and IDS).
Isnt it so that the stateless firewall can still be configured to allow 'established' connections where it can track sessions and connections?
What I am looking is what advantage does security policies provide where a stateless firewall can not? I already reviewed:
where it says:
"A stateless firewall filter, often called a firewall filter or access control list (ACL), statically evaluates packet contents. In contrast, a stateful firewall filter uses connection state information derived from past communications and other applications to make dynamic control decisions."
However since stateless firewall can allow established connections also, isnt it making dynamic control decisions?
Perhaps some pointers to some useful information about the differences would be helpful. If anybody knows?
There are several advantages to using a static IP filter. It has a combination of low overhead and high throughput. Stateless IP filters are very inexpensive, and many are free. They are included with router configuration software or are included with most Open Source operating systems. Being that a static IP filter does little more than simply route traffic, it is very good for traffic management.
On the other hand, there are quite a few disadvantages to using a static IP filter, especially with regard to security. Static IP filters allow direct connections from the external network to hosts on the internal network. Static filters can become cumbersome to maintain in complex environments. Static filters are vulnerable to IP spoofing attacks, unless they have been specifically configured to prevent this. All holes in the firewall are permanent; either a hole exists or it doesn't, there is no opening and closing connections based on outside criteria. And lastly, static IP filters offer no form of authentication.
As you can see, static packet filtering does not offer enough in the way of security to be the only gateway between an internal network and the Internet. Realizing the deficiencies of static filtering, developers had to come up with more dynamic or "intelligent" solutions. Enter stateful packet filtering.
The biggest difference between simple IP filtering and stateful IP filtering is that simple IP filters have no recollection of packets that have already passed through the filter. Every packet is handled on an individual basis. Previously forwarded packets belonging to a connection have no bearing on the filter's decision to forward or drop the packet.
There are actually two classes of stateful packet filtering. The first is based on a pure packet filtering environment. The second involves application proxies. A proxy acts as an intelligent intermediary between hosts on the internal network and hosts on the external network.
Application proxy servers (a.k.a application gateways), when properly configured, are probably the most intelligent firewall or gateway that you can have. Application proxies operate at the application layer of the OSI model. This allows proxies to make much more intelligent decisions about what traffic is allowed to pass.
The tradeoff, when compared to traditional packet filtering, is the overhead of running an application gateway. An application proxy makes two connections; one to the machine on the outside of the gateway and a seperate connection to the machine on the inside of the gateway. Additionally, the application gateway processes authentication on behalf of the machine on the internal network. Therefore, the demands on the machine are significantly higher than those associated with a typical firewall.
Another problem associated with application gateways is the cost. Most application gateway solutions involve the use of expensive, proprietary software and/or hardware. Many advanced stateful packet filters are Open Source. In fact, one of the most common uses for Linux is to build a low cost stateful packet filtering firewall. Being that packet filtering with Linux is handled at the kernel level, the overhead is very low. I have heard of early Pentium class machines with minimal memory being resurrected as 100Mbps routers.
There are even projects devoted to running such systems with no hard drives. The machine is booted from a floppy that contains the kernel and all of the configuration information. Once the machine is up and running, the floppy is removed. This can be a very secure, very low cost solution for many small offices and home offices.
On the other hand, a stateful packet filter is much less resource intensive than an application gateway, while not being completely unintelligent.
Stateful packet filtering does not necessarily address all of the problems with static filtering. Authentication may still not be addressed, however stateful packet filtering does add a new dimension of security to the otherwise inadequate security of static packet filtering.

Raheel, I think more and get confused more
1- The text says ' Static filters are vulnerable to IP spoofing attacks, unless they have been specifically configured to prevent this. '
Wouldnt it be possible to use static filters on interfaces but create a global zone which has a 'screen' which stops spoofing?
2- ' All holes in the firewall are permanent; either a hole exists or it doesn't, there is no opening and closing connections based on outside criteria. '
Can you give an example to this? For example if I have made a policy to allow HTTP(port 80) traffic into the zone, how is the stateful firewall close or open the connections based on outside criteria? (isnt it always open?)
One can still use the screens the same way as in (1), no?
Also, by using established connections feature, one can allow from outside to inside, lets say only port 80 but when a connection is initiated from inside to outside, the data can be allowed to come in to any port since connection would have been established.
3- "Previously forwarded packets belonging to a connection have no bearing on the filter's decision to forward or drop the packet."
Isnt this what the established connections feature do in static filters?
Sorry about the questions if they sound stupid. I guess I am sometimes very picky. Actually, security policies sound great and I would like to use them, the problem is that as far as I know, I would need to manage 100s of policies if I have 5-6 zones in my network. Which kind of would be a nightmare so I am a little bit confused. Because using static firewall rules, I can setup an outgoing rule on an interface and drop a pile of stuff easily. With security policies, I need a policy (actually same policy) from every other zone to the zone which has the interface

Dear listserv,
Regarding my previous posting seeking information on proper
Gaelic name forms, I feel that I must clarify what was meant by my
request. Please note that I did not intend to suggest that the only
`proper' form of a Gaelic surname was some watered-down Anglicized
version. I believe it is essential to my research to investigate and
establish the correct presentation of family names before I subject
those names to the practical applications and restrictions inherent
in modern-day library cataloguing practice. I am attempting to
provide an opportunity for a fair conversion, and not perversion, of
one group of names.
Having completed my undergraduate degree in Celtic and Mediaeval
studies, I found that years of slugging through incredibly corrupt
orthographic library entries for Celtic names has served me well in
providing the framework for such an undertaking. If any users can
provide me with email-addresses to university libraries that deal
with this issue on a regular basis, I would be most grateful.
Again, I apologize if any insult was assumed from my previous
request as that was not my intent. I too suffer from surname

A Port Canaveral police sergeant says he provided targets depicting a figure similar to Trayvon Martin to help train police on what not to shoot.
- Filed Under
It's not OK that Trayvon Martin is dead.
That may come as a jolt to some.
A jury nearby will decide this summer whether his shooter, George Zimmerman, committed second-degree murder or merely provoked a fatal misunderstanding.
But Martin's shooting was neither righteous nor smart, as Friday's firing of a Port Canaveral police sergeant affirms.
If you believe interim port CEO John Walsh, Sgt. Ron King shared with shooting trainees targets depicting a figure in a hooded sweatshirt carrying a can of iced tea and a bag of Skittles candy - just like the unarmed Trayvon Martin. If King's point was some fun shooting at a figure that looked like the teen, then it was "unacceptable," as Walsh says.
But King says the boss got it backwards. He says he meant those targets as examples of what not to shoot during training exercises he led at the Brevard Community College range.
Either way, both parties make the same argument.
It's not OK that Trayvon Martin is dead. It's not OK to make sport of his death. Martin did not exemplify someone who should be shot.
Seeking justification
Yet, we continue to hear from Brevard readers and radio callers eager to share clues that something about Martin's past or appearance or social-media posts somehow make it OK that he's dead.
The worst, lately, may be a frequently forwarded email accusing the "liberal controlled media" of ignoring a photo of the "real" Trayvon Martin: a 6-foot-2-inch, 175-pound bearded man with intimidating tattoos on his face and neck.
Someone who looks like that must have done something that night to deserve Martin's fate, the message implies.
Except that the photo isn't of Trayvon Martin. It's of a rapper named Jayceon Taylor (stage name, "Game"), whose photo originally accompanied his comments in news articles about the shooting.
As for Martin's real size? The medical examiner's report listed Martin's measurements at 5 feet 11 inches and 158 pounds, a typical lanky teen.
Not that anyone's size or tattoos bear legal relevance to whether it is OK to follow him, confront him and ultimately kill him as he walks home from a store with iced tea and Skittles.
It will always be tragic that Trayvon Martin is dead, no matter what a jury in this judicial district decides for Zimmerman.
There's nothing "conservative" about feeling otherwise.
Tasteless messages
No, police photos of Zimmerman with a bloody nose or scalp after the shooting don't make it OK. Those prove only that Zimmerman followed and confronted someone who lashed out violently.
No, it's not funny to shoot targets that look like Martin, as the accused port police sergeant himself says.
No, a Facebook photo of Martin flipping the bird or news of his school suspensions do not add up to a "good shoot."
Nor does disgust with the Rev. Al Sharpton - who fanned racial outrage at the tragedy - justify a rooting interest in a kid's death.
As for gun rights, Zimmerman's trial is no test of whether the rest of us can arm ourselves in public or "stand our ground" when assaulted. We'll keep those rights in Florida, regardless of the verdict, say Gov. Rick Scott and the state Legislature.
I think fear of losing those is what motivates so many in Brevard to try to defend a homicide - legal or not - with tasteless emails, online messages or (allegedly) shooting-range targets.
Others suspect racism.
I say, let us give Zimmerman his days in court and see a tragedy for what it is.

Mountain Biking: Which CO resorts are best for summer fun?
1 Attachment(s)
A friend and I might be taking a trip out to Colorado for some mountian biking action and I was just curious if any of you have opinions on which resorts or areas offer the best biking.
I'd definately like the trails to be lift accesible since I've never had the opportunity to try this and it looks fun as hell.
A mix of trails from begginer to advanced is a plus since, like I said, I'll be new to the downhill style of this sport and would like to be able to progress from easier runs to harder ones as the days go one.
Here is a little video I made if us rising a trail in Vail. We ride about 4-5 days a week.

In physical modeling, there are two types of models:
Behavioral — A model that is implemented based on its physical behavior, described by a system of mathematical equations. An example of a behavioral block implementation is the Variable Orifice block.
Composite — A model that is constructed out of other blocks, connected in a certain way. An example of a composite, or structural, block implementation is the 4-Way Directional Valve block (available with SimHydraulics® block libraries), which is constructed based on four Variable Orifice blocks.
Simscape™ language lets you create new behavioral and composite models when your design requirements are not satisfied by the libraries of standard blocks provided with Simscape and its add-on products.
A prerequisite to creating components is having the appropriate domains for the component nodes. You can use Simscape Foundation domains or create your own, as described in .
To create a new custom component, define a component model class by writing a component file.
A component file must begin with the
component keyword,
followed by the component name, and be terminated by the
end keyword.
Component files typically contain the following sections:
Declaration — Contains all the member class
declarations for the component, such as parameters, variables, nodes,
inputs, and outputs. Each member class declaration is a separate declaration
block, which begins with the appropriate keyword (corresponding to
the member class) and is terminated by the
end keyword.
For more information, see the component-related sections in Declaring Domains and Components.
Setup — Prepares the component for simulation.
The body of the
setup function can contain assignment
if and
error statements,
across and
through functions.
setup function is executed once for each
component instance during model compilation. It takes no arguments
and returns no arguments. For more information, see Defining Component Setup.
Structure — Declares the component connections for composite models. For more information, see Specifying Component Connections.
Equation — Declares the component equations for behavioral models. These equations may be conditional, and are applied throughout the simulation. For more information, see Defining Component Equations.
Another type of a custom block is an environment block that acts as a source of domain-wide parameters. For example, you can create a Hydraulic Temperature block that supplies the temperature parameter to the rest of the model.
Note The Foundation hydraulic domain does not contain a temperature parameter. You would have to create a customized hydraulic domain where this parameter is declared. Components using your own customized hydraulic domain cannot be connected with the components using the Simscape Foundation hydraulic domain. Use your own customized domain definitions to build complete libraries of components to be connected to each other.
You create environment components similar to behavioral components,
by writing a component file that consists of the declaration, setup,
and equation sections. However, to indicate that this component supplies
the parameter value to the rest of the model, set the
Propagation attribute
of this component to
source. For more information,
see Working with Domain Parameters and Attribute Lists.
Adding a custom block library involves creating new components that model the desired physical behavior and structure. It may involve creating a new physical domain if the Simscape Foundation domain definitions do not satisfy your modeling requirements.
After you have created the textual component files, convert them into a library of blocks using the procedure described in Building Custom Block Libraries from Simscape Component Files. You can control the block names and appearance by using optional comments in the component file. For more information, see Customizing the Block Name and Appearance.

News & Updates
Night at the Newseum
In the shadow of the U.S. Capitol, Bradley University brought its future to alums and supporters in Washington, D.C. The Campaign for a Bradley Renaissance gala was held at the newly opened Newseum on Pennsylvania Avenue.
The program began with piano entertainment by Dr. Josh Russell '01, and was followed by numbers by the award-winning Bradley University Jazz Combo. President Joanne Glasser then gave an official welcome, including heartfelt recognition of guests who had served in the military. Interestingly, the event was held on June 6—the anniversary of the Allied invasion of Normandy. Special recognition was given to former House Minority Leader and U.S. Congressman Robert Michel '48 HON '81 for his part in the invasion, resulting in a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart. She then recognized freshman Congressman Aaron Schock '02 and spoke of the impact he is making in Washington. Shock's election last November has kept alive the tradition of Bradley alumni representing the 18th Congressional District in Illinois for 52 consecutive years. U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood '71 was unable to attend the event, as he was asked by President Barack Obama to travel to Lebanon to be his representative at the national election the following day.
Following dinner, guests were treated to a comedy monologue by Bradley national speech champion Jared Boyer '10 of Freeport. The Jazz Combo then performed, setting the stage for the program.
President Glasser returned to speak of the Campaign for a Bradley Renaissance and how it will take the University from a great Midwestern institution to one of national prominence. She cited the new sports communication curriculum as just one of the points of pride that will lead Bradley to be one of the elite universities in the nation. Taped messages were shown from former BU presidents Dr. Martin Abegg '47 HON '93 and Dr. John Brazil, speaking of campaigns that took place during their tenures, and how they boosted Bradley's standing, both academically and aesthetically. Another video showed the October dedication of the Markin Family Student Recreation Center, highlighting both the beauty and impact the facility has made on campus. The president then introduced Gerry Shaheen '66 MBA '68, president of the Board of Trustees. He asked the audience to imagine what Bradley will become as he took them on a building-by-building, animated tour of the campus with the new facilities in place. Another video was shown with Bradley alums, faculty, and administrators speaking of the University's tradition and vision for the future. The video was greeted with cheers, tears, and applause. Shaheen reported on the progress of the campaign, and appealed to everyone to help Bradley reach the $150 million goal.
President Glasser thanked everyone for sharing their Bradley experience, and asked them to remember their own days on the Hilltop and to help the next generation of Braves by helping with the Renaissance Campaign. She reminded everyone, "Once a Brave, Always a Brave!"
The evening concluded with the Jazz Combo performing and asking those in attendance to join in singing "Hail, Red and White."

ANNVILLE - Cindy Funck says she has always liked children's books.
They're her "thing," she said.
Fortunately for her, in her job as the children's librarian at the Annville Free Library, she's surrounded by them.
"One of the perks here is I get to buy books with other people's money, and I can kind of get it out of my system, and I still have that rush of buying a new book," she said with a laugh.
Funck, who has been working at the Annville Free Library since fall 2000, said she really enjoys her job, which includes reading to more than 100 kids a week during organized story times.
"The funnest thing to do is reading stories to kids," she said.
In particular, Funck said, she enjoys seeing the looks on the kids' faces when she reads to them. And, she added, kids say the darnedest things.
"They come up with some really funny answers sometimes," she said. "Some of them are really with it, and they come up with the right answers, but some of the answers I have to just stop and laugh. They're just so refreshing."
Funck, a graduate of Annville-Cleona High School, has a degree in early childhood development from Messiah College. Prior to coming to work at the Annville Free Library, she worked for about 20 years at a preschool in Ono. There, however, she was an administrator and did not often get to work directly with the kids.
"I would help the staff plan, but then I'd be in the office while they're carrying the plans through," she said. "Here, I do my plans, and I carry them through.
She reads to kids during story time several times a week depending on the time of the year. Currently, she has six story times a week, three of which are open to the public. The other three are for school and daycare groups.
The 54-year-old said reading to kids helps keep her young at heart.
"It's getting harder for me to crawl up off the floor," she said. "I've spent half my life on the floor with children."
She said people often ask her how she has so much patience with little kids.
"I have a lot of patience with little kids acting like little kids," she said. "I just don't have any patience with big kids acting like little kids.
"I've learned over the years this is really my niche," she added. "This is the age I love. I like seeing that development. To see that progression of development and see where they are and see the cogs moving."
After reading to the kids she does what she calls extension activities.
"After we're done reading some books in a certain theme we'll go to the back and do a craft or a coloring page or something," she said.
Funck says it is very important to read to kids because it touches on so many different areas.
"You're learning your vocabulary, you're learning to like books, you're learning that scribbles on a page mean words," she said. "That whole language development thing I just find really fascinating. Kids who are read to have so many advantages."
Reading to kids is not the only thing Funck does at the library, though. Like all other employees she has to help out with the day-to-day operations.
"You just do what needs done," she said. "If the toilet paper is empty, you go fill the toilet paper roll."
Funck lives in East Hanover Township near Water Works with her husband, Dennis. The couple has three adult children and one grandson.
Each Monday in the Lebanon Daily News, "Just Folks" tells the stories of ordinary people who live, work and play in the Lebanon Valley.

Two of the great things about living on Guam are her people and the food.
On the food side, my memories go back to the days when fiestas were really, really huge events. Every village on the island would turn out in force. Traffic would be snarled throughout the village and people would walk from one house to another, eating until their shirt buttons popped. You would find them walking around with balutan plates, because no self-respecting fiesta planner would cook only enough food for the guests they invited.
Unlike parties in the mainland U.S., where only the invitee is generally welcome, on ...

Despite not being fully grade separated, Edmonton's existing light rail transit line functions as urban rapid transit. LRT patrons are whisked between Clareview in the northeast to Century Park in the south, a distance of 20.5 kilometres, in 33 minutes. The crown jewel of the LRT system is the fully grade separated Downtown to University tunnel. Even outside of the central area, there are grade separations (tunnels or bridges) at most major intersections.
I am starting this blog because three years ago, the City of Edmonton took a serious wrong turn on the future development of its light rail transit network. Instead of further development of a fast, frequent, high capacity light rail network, the City opted for a street level system that has resulted in dismal ridership numbers in every North American city in which similar systems have been built.
This blog is intended to share information and perspectives for those who like me passionately believe that a great city like ours needs to build modern urban rapid transit that functions more like Vancouver's Skytrain than Portland's MAX light rail.
These are some of the propositions I will be putting forward in future blog postings:
One, the use of the Downtown to University tunnel needs to be optimized by having two complete lines (Clareview to Century Park, St. Albert to Lewis Estates) running through it. Like Calgary is doing, the high floor network needs to be built before additional lines using incompatible technology are considered.
Two, Stony Plain Road is too narrow, constrained and congested to serve as a suitable rapid transit corridor. A better option is to further enhance the already excellent bus service in this corridor. The West LRT should instead use 87 Avenue to cross the North Saskatchewan River and connect to the high floor network south of Health Sciences Station.
Three, increased density along LRT lines through transit oriented developments should be strongly supported. But regardless of the density achieved, only a small percentage of Edmontonians will ever live within easy walking distance of an LRT station. For most Edmontonians, convenient bus connections to LRT stations, availability of park and ride, frequency of service, and fast travel times will continue to be more important considerations when deciding whether to use our cars less and the LRT more.
Four, the convenience provided by closer spacing of stations cannot be allowed to unduly compromise the need for LRT to have significantly faster travel times compared to buses.
Five, Edmonton's winter climate demands that all LRT stations should be full service stations that provide adequate protection from the elements.
Six, a well designed rapid transit network makes unnecessary either a street level Downtown Connector or a street level Central Area Circulator.
Before billions of tax dollars are spent unwisely, a serious public discussion about Edmonton's rapid transit future is needed. I hope this blog contributes in some way to this discussion.
