3. Risk Status:
Below is the risk table:

Rank Now	Rank History	Loss-Causing Event	Likelihood of the Loss-Causing Event Occuring	Estimated Severity (or Loss)	Current Risk
1	-	Meeting with our mentor the day before HW4-Part I is due cause us to start on the homework due, which may lead to not being able to finish the homework on time.	0.8	(0.5 - 0.7)	0.04
2	-	Our website headers are not uniform though out. The headers on team pages are not exactly the same as those on personal pages. This may cause us to lose points on hw4 - part 1 if we don't fix it in time.	0.7	0.6	0.03
3	-	Redback SMS 10000, Cisco 10000 and net.com SCREAM AC equipments are in the ordering process. They may not arrive by the due date.	0.5	0.3	0.03
4	-	Fall break and difficulty in finding a common time slot to meet to do hw4 may cause us to be in a rush at the last minutes before hw4 is due	0.6	0.4	0.035
5	-	Lots of reading for the project. Some of us may not be able to finish all the readings before we start learning how to configure the AC's.	0.65	0.1	0.04

4. Problem List:
- Our team website contains many images which may not meet the max load time requirement as stated in Homework 4 - Part I. Also, the page headers are not uniform throughout the website. We're currently fixing these problems (see the risk table above for more details).
- Modifying some webpages such as the HB pages will change the date stamp, which may be a problem.
- Some of our team members have just discovered that there's another computer, Brindley, connected to the hub in our pod. This may cause a not-very-complete write up for homework 3.
- Our project requires a lot of reading. Some team members are quite busy during this time of the semester that they may not be able to finish reading all of the assignment by the expected deadline.

5. Any other issues you wish to report, raise, address, ...
We're planning to reinstall Linux 8.0 on four of the five computers in our pod.
