Briefly define cyber-terrorism. Define hacktivism. Illustrate examples of each in current events within the last decade. Cyber-terrorism is defined as a computer based attack aimed at disabling vital computer systems so as to intimidate, coerce, or harm a government or section of the population. (Cyber-terrorism, n.d). Examples of this include introducing a virus to vulnerable networks, website defacing, hacking into computer systems or terroristic threats made with electronic communication. Hacktivism is defined as the practice of gaining unauthorized access to a computer system and carrying out various disruptive actions as a means of achieving political or social goals. (Hacktivism, n.d). Examples of this include data breaches conducted by organizations such as WikiLeaks and the internet group Anonymous. What is the fundamental difference between these two? Although both actions involve computers and are usually politically driven, the difference between the two is cyber-terrorism is used primarily to cause harm. How has technology helped to advance these groups? Technology has helped these groups to gain access to systems or networks which they probably would not be able to access through legitimate means. It has also allowed for the spread of propaganda, the organization of individuals in far places by providing a common meeting point in chat rooms or discussion boards located on the Internet, and the gathering of information and intelligence in preparation for illegal activities. (Stark, 2011) How do you think our government’s response to such groups has changed our attitudes towards our own freedoms? Personally, it is hard for me to say. On one hand, I can understand the need for the government to clamp down on the activities of hacktivists and especially those of cyber-terrorists. In some cases, the government has made itself susceptible to these attacks by not taking all the necessary appropriate measures to secure their systems. However, that is also not to excuse their ability to cover up their own forms of cyber-terrorism that has caused harm against its own citizens. In your opinion, do you think Hacktivism is justified or is it just a subset of cyber-terrorism? Give some examples to support your stance . By definition, Hacktivism is a subset of cyber-terrorism because they both involve the utilization of computers in order to gain unauthorized access to a computer system/network and/or to disrupt said system or network for social, political, or ideological purposes. Whether it is WikiLeaks gaining secret documents exposing a countries government of invading the privacy of their citizens for the argument of security or the case of Aaron Swartz, the creator of SecureDrop.

Brief Texas v. Johnson located on page 166 of your text. Follow the briefing format explained on pages 13-16: citation, facts, rule, issue, holding, reasoning, and criticism. Recall that the facts should include any fact that you think affected the court's decision as well as the main procedural facts. The rule should be the rule as it existed prior to this decision. The issue statement should contain two main components: the rule (label plus definition) and specific facts. After reading the issue, the reader should know exactly why each side thought it had a chance of convincing the court that it should win. The holding should be very specific so that your reader will know the limits that the court placed on its decision. The reasoning section should be as complete as possible so that your reader can fully understand why the court decided as it did. Finally, the criticism section should include a short accounting of what the dissent had to say. Your criticism section should also point out any logical failings or limitations that you found in the majority opinion's thinking. Make sure anyone reading your criticism section can tell when you are giving your own criticism versus when you are simply reporting on what the dissent had to say. The project is due as follows: Part A -- Citation, Facts, and Rule - Week 1 You only have do the citation, facts, and rule!!!!!!! The following pages are the e-text steps you'll hav e to follow to create the case brief. page 13 (3) Briefing court opinions The word brief has several meanings in the legal field. When we refer to briefing a case or to case briefs , we are referring to a written summary of a court opinion. This is to be contrasted with an appellate brief, which is a formal written argument to an appellate court, in which a lawyer argues why that court should affirm or reverse a lower court's decision. (a) Reasons for briefing cases Briefing court opinions serves two purposes. First, and most important, it makes you read the case thoroughly. You have to go back and dig out the essentials, organize them, and state them in your own words. This is necessary for an adequate understanding of the court opinion. Second, it is a form of note taking that provides a condensed record of the most important information about the case you briefed. You can use these case briefs to refresh your memory when preparing for class or studying for exams. (b) Format of a case brief While most case briefs share many common features, there is no single format that is universally accepted within the legal community. Indeed, there are almost as many different briefing styles as there are attorneys writing briefs. What we present here is an approach that we think will help you organize your thoughts and understand the opinion. The case briefing method described here breaks the case down into the following elements: (i) case citation, (ii) facts — both procedural and substantive, (iii) r.

Brief Report The Effects of a Nutrition Education Intervention on Vending Machine Sales on a University Campus Mary V. Brown, PhD, CHES; Matthew Flint, PhD; James Fuqua, BS Abstract. Objective: To determine the effects of a nutrition information intervention on the vending machine purchases on a college campus. Participants and Methods: Five high-use vending machines were selected for the intervention, which was conducted in the fall of 2011. Baseline sales data were collected in the 5 machines prior to the intervention. At the time of the intervention, color-coded stickers were placed near each item selection to identify less healthy (red), moderately healthy (yellow), and more healthy (green) snack items. Sales data were collected during the 2-week intervention. Results: Purchases of red- and yellow-stickered foods were reduced in most of the machines; moreover, sales of the green-stickered items increased in all of the machines. Conclusions: The increased purchases of healthier snack options demonstrate encouraging patterns that support more nutritious and healthy alternatives in vending machines. Keywords: college students, nutrition intervention, vending machines A s college students transition from home life to col-lege life, often there are nutrition and food chal-lenges that students may be dealing with for the first time. 1 These new dietary behaviors often contribute to the establishment of a life time of either healthy or unhealthy behaviors. 2 In a national college survey, 34.1% of college students described themselves as overweight or obese. 3 Although obesity is a complex issue with a variety of causes, nutrition and physical activity play a vital role in managing energy imbalance. 4 In an effort to reduce the obesity epidemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention developed the Common Community Measures for Obesity Prevention Project, 5 which was initiated to identify and recommend strategies related to obesity prevention. The first of 24 strategies recommended healthier food and beverage choices be made available in schools and public service venues. 5 More recently, the National Prevention Strategy unveiled in June 2011 recommended that early learning centers, schools, colleges, and universities “implement and enforce policies that increase availability of healthy foods, including in a la carte lines, school stores, vending machines, and fund- raisers.” 6(p36) In addition, the Affordable Care Act now requires calorie declarations posted near items in vending machines, with the hope that consumers will make healthier choices. 7 Several North American school districts have developed vending machine policies that have been implemented at the elementary and secondary school level. 8–12 Policies ranged from turning off machines during the lunch period 8 or limiting accessibility to vending machines, 9,10,12 decreasing the availability of unhealthy foods, increasing availabil.

BRIEF REPORT Screening for Depression Among Minority Young Males Attending a Family Planning Clinic Ruth S. Buzi and Peggy B. Smith Baylor College of Medicine Maxine L. Weinman University of Houston The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) was used to assess depression among 535 African American and Hispanic young males ages 14 to 27 attending a family planning clinic. The assessment indicated that 119 (22.2%) males met criteria for depression. The study also examined the associations between depression, sociodemographics, and service requests. Depressed males were more likely than nondepressed males to be Hispanic and to request services related to relationships, feelings, financial resources, physical issues, and well-being. The findings indicated that young males who are affected by depression have unmet needs, but when given an opportunity, are able to express those needs. Because family planning clinics are increasing the number of male clients, they are well positioned to screen them for depression. Keywords: young males, depression, request for services Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is recognized as one of the most common chronic conditions today. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (2012), ap- proximately 2 million adolescents, or 8.0% of the population ages 12 to 17, had at least one major depressive episode during 2010. A recent report by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA, 2012) indicates that one in five American adults aged 18 or older, or 45.6 million, people had mental illness in the past year. The rate of mental illness was twice as high among those 18 –25 (29.8%) than among those aged 50 and older (14.3%). Males experience more persistent depressive symptoms and disorders from adolescence into adulthood than females (Dunn & Goodyer, 2006; Colman, Wadsworth, Croudace, & Jones, 2007). Non-Hispanic African American males tend to have the highest rates of MDD at 13.2%, followed by Hispanics or Latinos (12.7%) and then non-Hispanic Whites (8.7%) U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, 2012). Depression among minority adolescents and young adults was found to be related to stress, lack of social resources, and low socioeco- nomic status (Brown, Meadows, & Elder, 2007). Risk factors for African American men’s depression include economic strain, interpersonal conflicts, and racial discrimination (Wat- kins, Green, Rivers, & Rowell, 2006). Hispanic and African American males also display significantly earlier onset of MDD compared with their White counterparts (Riolo, Nguyen, Gre- den, & King, 2005). Despite the fact that males also suffer from depression, they seek mental help from health care professionals less frequently than females, which only further decreases the likelihood of diagnosing their mental health disorders (Addis & Mahalik, 2003; Smith, Braunack-Mayer, & Wittert, 2006). Males often feel pressured to avoid emotional expres.

Brief overview Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is a type of anxiety disorder that entails obsessions which refer to thoughts, images and urges that occur repetitively and continue for long. It also includes compulsions which are behaviors that a person feels like engaging in, again and again, such as washing hands. In the selected case study, Hector experiences obsessive-compulsive disorder. Hector is an eighteen-year-old male. Hector is Mexican American and lives with both his parents who are immigrants, two sisters and grandmother from his mother’s side. Hector’s first language is Spanish, but he speaks fluent English. Hector completed high school but is unable to pursue his university education due to the severity of OCD symptoms (Plante, 2010). Hector suffers from OCD that first became evident when he was fourteen years. Hector presents symptoms of OCD including fears of contamination. Hector fears any contamination through contact with blood, germs or other people. For this reason, Hector continuously and excessively washes his hands all through and disinfects his room. He repeatedly washes foods that he eats, for instance, if it’s an apple he will wash it many times before eating it. Hector wears gloves to avoid contamination and does not use public facilities such as restrooms or restaurants. The OCD symptoms have made Hector to isolate himself from peers. Hector is underweight due to his fear for food and ritual of regularly washing anything he wants to consume. Hector feels like a prisoner of his obsessions and compulsions thus displays symptoms of depression (Plante, 2010). Reference Plante, T.G. (2010). Contemporary Clinical Psychology (3rd ed.).
