All study abroad participants are required to have international health insurance coverage for the duration they are outside the U.S. by purchasing a health plan through GSU for the study abroad term. OIS encourages students and their families to review the following information on health and safety.
Traveling abroad can be a wonderful experience. However, students must take certain precautions to ensure their own safety while participating in a study abroad program. The links below provide excellent advice on precautions:
The Office of International Services urges you to read all of these materials carefully and to begin using the Department of State website now - before you leave the U.S. - so that you are completely familiar with it and able to use it regularly while abroad. Use it to check updates on safety conditions and travel advisories for the country in which you are studying or traveling, as well as for those countries to which you are planning to travel.
We also recommend that you register with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate when you arrive abroad. This should be done for each group studying/traveling abroad, unless the U.S. Embassy or Consulate indicates otherwise. You should also make sure that you have the U.S. Embassy or Consulate telephone number and address, together with other emergency telephone numbers, while you are traveling.

Most programs do have credit associated with them. The Office of International Services will work with you and with your academic advisor to determine whether or not the credits can apply toward your degree program while you are abroad.
Most students use their credits to fulfill their general education requirements. Depending on your area of study and which program you choose, these credits may also count toward your major or minor. It is important to consult with your academic advisor as early as possible to see which requirements you can fulfill abroad. This way, you can avoid taking classes twice and make sure you still graduate in four years.
The costs per programs vary greatly depending on destination and the length of stay. However, OIS will work with you and with the academic department to make the trip as affordable as possible. Please speak with the Study Abroad Coordinator to determine the costs for your program.
Additionally, study abroad scholarships may also be available for certain programs. Contact email@example.com if you have further questions.
Students may go abroad at any time during their stay at Governors State University, as long as you have completed at least 24 credit hours at a U.S. higher education institution. However, depending on your major and the program you choose, there may times that fit better with your academic plan. You should consult with your academic advisor and with the Study Abroad Coordinator to see when would be the best time for you to go.
Not necessarily. Many of the short-term faculty-led trips are designed for students that do not require any foreign language competency. Additionally, there are many third-party study abroad trips that are designed in a similar fashion so that the main language of instruction is English. Please meet with the Study Abroad Coordinator to find a trip that is right for you.
It is recommended that students apply to study abroad two semesters in advance, though students may begin inquiring sooner. Please meet with your academic advisor and the Study Abroad Coordinator as soon as possible to discuss the possibility of studying abroad.

Paul McCartney Gets His Own 'Day' In Minnesota
Listen to Paul McCartney Radio on iHeartRadio
Paul McCartney is getting a little something back as he tours the U.S. on his "Out There" trek.
In honor of his performance last Saturday at Target Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton proclaimed August 2nd, 2014 "Sir Paul McCartney Day" throughout the state.
Nearly 44,000 fans snatched up tickets to the sold-out show, which featured the rock legend delivering nearly three hours of classic Beatles, Wings and solo hits.
The concert was McCartney's first in the Twin Cities since 2004. The rock legend made his concert debut in Minneapolis nearly 50 years ago, performing at Met Stadium with The Beatles back in 1965.

Vizcaino benefits from Biscuits' errors
Braves prospect fans seven, gets first Southern League win
By Ashley Marshall / Special to MLB.com | June 4, 2011 9:44 PM ET
Montgomery committed a franchise-record eight errors and Vizcaino struck out seven over six innings Saturday as the Mississippi Braves flattened the Biscuits, 11-3.
Montgomery entered the game ranked second in the Southern League in fielding percentage, having committed 42 miscues in 55 games. But third baseman Henry Wrigley made three errors, including two on the same play, and catcher Nevin Ashley made two throwing errors.
The other miscues belonged to second baseman Shawn O'Malley, shortstop Tim Beckham and reliever Jim Paduch as the Biscuits came within one error of matching the Southern League record. The previous team mark was six, set on July 31, 2008 against Huntsville.
The biggest beneficiary was Vizcaino (1-1), who allowed three runs on five hits and two walks in his second start for the M-Braves.
Promoted from Class A Advanced Lynchburg on May 29, the 20-year-old right-hander took the loss in his Southern League debut on Monday after yielding five runs on four hits, including three homers, over seven innings against Mobile. He was 2-2 with a 2.45 ERA in nine Carolina League starts.
Rowdy Hardy gave up two hits and struck out two over two scoreless frames and Eliecer Cardenas finished up for Mississippi, which ended a five-game losing streak.
Donell Linares hit a three-run homer and Tyler Pastornicky went 3-for-5 with two RBIs and two runs scored for the Braves.
Former third-round pick Nick Barnese (1-2) was charged with five runs -- four earned -- on five hits and three walks over four innings for Montgomery.

Internet buying new boat for owner in Boston manhunt
(NEWSER) – Dave Henneberry had the bizarre luck of owning the boat that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev chose to hide inside during the Boston bomber manhunt. The boat, riddled with bullets and now a key piece of evidence, may be out of commission for good, but that doesn't mean Henneberry won't be hitting the water this summer. Two separate online sites have sprung up to buy the Watertown resident a new boat, reports the Daily News. This one atCrowdtilt.com had nearly $8,000 as of this afternoon, and aFacebook page soliciting donations had more than 600 likes, although no monetary numbers.

The Origins of Kitsch, and Other NewsBy Dan Piepenbring
- Bill Gates's favorite business book is 1969's Business Adventures, "twelve classic tales from the worlds of Wall Street and the modern American corporation," and "it's easy to see why. Brooks, who wrote for [The New Yorker] for more than thirty years, approached business in an unusual way. He had an eye for the technical details that mattered to insiders, but the sensibility of a broad-minded cultural critic."
- "If you visit Florence this summer, you may find that ducking into the Palazzo Strozzi to see the remarkable exhibition 'Pontormo and Rosso Fiorentino: Diverging Paths of Mannerism' (through July 20) is a great way to dodge the tourist crowds that choke the city's streets. The works by these two Tuscans, who have good claim to being considered the originators of Mannerism, are as fascinating and problematic as ever. But chances are, if you're inclined to look at them to discover affinities with art's future, it's not Matisse, German Expressionism, or Giacometti you'll think of first. At least I didn't—what I saw, for better or worse, was a postmodern Mannerism: the invention of bad taste or, as Clement Greenberg used to call it, kitsch."
- Talking to Jamie Keenan, a jacket designer: "Turd Theory (one of The Twenty Irrefutable Theories of Cover Design, written by myself and Jon Gray) works on the idea that in a scary world of disorder and chaos people are programmed to seek out repetition and order. So even the worst cover in the world, repeated twenty times in different colors of the rainbow, will get you an award or two."
- Some of literature's greatest opening sentences—now in punch-card form.
- Michael Oakeshott was one of the most original philosophers of the twentieth century, but also, his notebooks reveal, one of the strangest: "His response to the modern world was to cultivate an Epicurean gaiety and independence. (He rebuffed politely an approach by Margaret Thatcher, who had it in mind to recommend him as a Companion of Honour.) It was a style of life that combined seemingly antagonistic attitudes: a highly developed aesthetic sensitivity with a tolerance of everyday routine (he was punctilious when acting as chair of his LSE department); a capacity for intense romantic engagement with deep detachment."

Need another reason to avoid fatty foods? A new study suggests that people who eat a high-fat diet full of red meat and dairy are at increased risk for developing pancreatic cancer.
Published in the Canadian Journal of the National Cancer Institute, the study found that people who consumed the most saturated fats were 1.36 times more likely to be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, the type of cancer with the lowest survival rate. Only 6% of patients with pancreatic cancer live more than five years after the diagnosis is made.
There is a link between pancreatic cancer and intake of saturated and monounsaturated fats, particularly from red meat and dairy food sources, says Rachael Stolzenberg-Solomon of the Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Md. However, there is no link between pancreatic cancer and consumption of polyunsaturated or plant-based fats.These findings are in line with the American Cancer Society's prevention guidelines. It recommends that people looking to prevent pancreatic cancer eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables every day, as well as servings of whole-grain foods from plant sources such as rice, breads, pasta and cereals. These antioxidant-rich foods are known to fight cancer-causing carcinogens.

The beauty of the Long Beach Yacht Club and its waterfront milieu is a favorite venue for the Dramatic Allied Arts Guild. On May 8, there were approximately 100 members and guests at the group's annual Scholarship Luncheon.
President Carolyn Powers conducted a brief election of the new executive slate of officers for the upcoming year. They are: President Leslie Martin, Sharon Civalleri, Pat Cain, Donna Estrin, Marilyn Hauser, Roxanne Lawrence, Lorna Rowland.
The focus of the day was Vice President Estrin's announcement of more than $26,000 in scholarships to be awarded to students at Cal State Long Beach and Long Beach City College. From CSULB, the recipients are Taylor Chan, Jessica Dunn, Diego Parada, Anthony Moreno, Joshua David Huh, Ivana Monson and Krista Felt. From LBCC, the recipients were Richard Greenwood Jr., Kristin Bergamasco, Jennifer Monterroza and Tomas Castro.
Following their introductions, the performers demonstrated their marvelous talents, enjoyed immensely by those attending. Nancy Koblensky said: "An interesting note about this outstanding group of students is their desire to help others. Their resumes indicated their intentions of helping the handicapped, especially the deaf and blind, even in foreign countries."
Liz Minor showcased the beautiful yacht club setting with festive pink linens, napkins and springtime outdoor garden decor featuring a sparkling butterfly set on mirror rounds.
Gary Scott, LBCC dean of Creative Arts & Applied Sciences, expressed his appreciation to DAAG and cited "how heartwarming it is to see one's love of the arts carried through to students. This is always a teacher's dream."
Raymond Torres-Santos, CSULB dean of the College of the Arts, spoke on behalf of the university citing how impressive it is to see people in the community mentoring others and helping with finances. He acknowledged DAAG's generosity over the years.
He said he especially appreciated the opportunity to connect with the students of LBCC, and looks forward to having them next at CSULB.
Founded in 1964, DAAG first presented fashion shows, hosted free high school symposiums for students of drama, art and music, and even gave lessons to members (of which ukulele was most popular). In 1970, scholarships were given to high school students, and starting in 1976, the scholarships were awarded to students in the arts at LBCC and CSULB.
During the meeting, it was noted that the first recipients are now on Medicare!

When it comes to jigsaws, I'm an avowed barrel-grip guy, so even though many of my other tools are cordless, I've been stuck using a corded jigsaw. But with Milwaukee's recent introduction of the model 2445 saw (which takes M12 batteries), I've been able to add a cordless model to my tool kit. This new saw is unusual for a couple of reasons: It's the first subcompact lithium-ion on the market, and its grip is different from any other jigsaw's.
Hybrid Grip
Milwaukee refers to the 2445's handle as a "Hybrid Grip" design, because it combines the grip of a barrel-grip model with the variable-speed trigger of a top-handle model.
A barrel grip's handle is low and close to the work, making this type of saw very stable. It's easy to guide and comfortable to use because you don't have to bend your wrist as much as you would with a top-handle machine. If there's a downside to the design, it's that the on/off switch is separate from the speed-control dial, so changing speed is a two-handed operation. And in most cases, the switch is on the left side of the barrel – a poor location for left-handed use.
Top-handle models typically have variable-speed triggers, so it's easy to plunge-cut and change speed on the fly. And since the trigger is centered, the saw works equally well in either hand. However, many carpenters find top-handle machines harder to guide and less comfortable to use than barrel-grips.
2445-21 Specs
Speed: 0-2,800 strokes per minute
Milwaukee Electric Tool
So why didn't Milwaukee call the M12 jigsaw a barrel-grip model with a variable-speed trigger? Most likely because the tool doesn't have a barrel, the part of the saw that normally contains the motor. On most saws, the motor projects horizontally from the rear of the gear housing, but on this one it stands vertically under the gears and is contained within the same housing.
The grip, which is located where the barrel normally would be, contains nothing more than the trigger and the battery. Its heavily contoured shape is almost identical to the grip on the M12 drill/driver – and, as such, is more comfortable to grasp than a barrel.
Using the Tool
When the tool showed up, I was nearing the end of a remodeling project, and I found it very convenient to be able to notch trim and siding without having to deal with a cord. This saw is smaller and lighter than other cordless and corded models, so it fit easily into whatever bag or bucket I was carrying tools in. I found myself using it more often than my corded saw because I didn't need to plug it in and could leave it out without worrying that a cord would be in the way.
The saw has a very solid feel to it and cuts quickly and powerfully, though with its short 3/4-inch stroke (most saws have a 1-inch stroke) and lack of orbital action it is not as fast as many other saws.
The standard battery fits almost entirely inside the grip, so it's more or less invisible. The optional XC high-capacity battery is larger and hangs out the back – but it's still far less obtrusive than the 14.4- and 18-volt batteries in other cordless saws.
The M12's base tilts 45 degrees in either direction and has a stop at 0 degrees. It's held in position by a locking lever. The first time I used the saw for heavy cutting, the lever worked loose; I tightened the tensioning screw in the base and it has held fine ever since.
Installing blades is very easy: You press the spring-loaded lever on the lower housing, fit the shaft into the clamp, then release the lever. When it's time to remove the blade, you press the lever and the blade pops out on its own. There's no need to risk burning your fingers by grabbing a hot blade.
|Putting the motor up front with the gears allowed the manufacturer to use a barrel-like grip sized to fit the human hand. The battery is tucked into the spot normally occupied by the motor.
|The tool comes with a standard three-cell lithium-ion battery (left). For greater runtime, it can be equipped with an optional six-cell high capacity XC battery (right).
|An LED light projects down from the saw to illuminate the cut, though it's partially blocked by the forward housing.
The kit version of the tool comes with one M12 Compact Red Lithium battery that Milwaukee says has enough runtime to make two-plus sink cutouts in a laminate countertop. That claim seems reasonable, given my experience using this saw on other materials.
To get a better sense of runtime, I made test cuts in 3/4-inch maple plywood with new 9-tpi fast-cut plywood blades. I performed the test twice and averaged the results, which came to just under 18 feet. This was with the supplied three-cell battery; I also tried out the optional six-cell XC high-capacity batteries. As expected, they had about twice the runtime of the standard packs.
The standard battery is sufficient for the cuts one would expect to make with a cordless jigsaw: notches, scribes, and holes through cabinets for ducts, pipes, and electrical outlets. The kit includes a 30-minute charger – though if the battery is hot, it has to cool for a while before charging can begin. Although it would be nice if the tool came with a spare battery, I can understand why it doesn't: With two batteries, the saw would cost more, and the manufacturer probably assumes buyers already own other M12 tools. If you buy this jigsaw and it's the only M12 tool you own, I recommend springing for a spare battery – preferably an XC battery, which has greater runtime and will allow you to stand the tool on end.
This new machine has nearly every feature one could hope to find on a jigsaw: battery gauge, light, toolless blade-changing, and a nonmarring plastic cover that fits over the shoe. It does not, however, have orbital cutting action or a blower. I don't particularly miss the orbital action, but it would be nice to have a blower to clear dust from the cut line.
The beam from the built-in LED light projects down from in front of the blade; it comes on when you squeeze the trigger and stays on for about 10 seconds after the motor stops. It's a nice feature, though it doesn't project that far in front of the tool and there's a shadow where the housing blocks part of the beam. Still, it's a whole lot better than having no light at all.
The battery gauge consists of four red LED diodes built into the side of the housing. When you squeeze the trigger, the diodes light up to indicate the level of charge: Four lights means the battery is full, two lights means it's half-full, and so on. The gauge is an excellent feature, and I would guess that it's just a matter of time before people will refuse to buy tools (or batteries) that don't have one.
The Bottom Line
If you make heavy use of a jigsaw, this is probably not the tool for you. But it would be a great choice for users who want a second saw, or who cut intermittently and don't want to deal with a cord. It's light and compact and has reasonable runtime and power for a tool of its kind. And because it's part of the M12 system, its batteries will work with more than 30 different tools.

Best In Show
Ion Studio in Manhattan's SoHo district is minimalist and unassuming in its design—you'd never guess that it's the home base for several of the fashion industry's biggest tress masters. "We have 60 years of experience between the three of us!" laughs Pasquale Ferrante, who owns the hair salon with fellow stylists Leonardo Manetti and Marco Santini. Ferrante is the lead for Coventry's Fashion Week debut next week and has invited us to sit in as he unveils his coif creation to designer Matthew Terry.
While Terry busily knits a bustier for his fall 2009 collection, Ferrante whips us up quite possibly the best cup of coffee ever. As he pours, he chats about the style he'll be creating today. "There are a lot of high necks and collar details in the collection, so I wanted to keep the hair up," says Ferrante. "I see her as a Scottish warrior—the hair is tough and textured yet soft and loose around the edges of the face."
Ferrante then gets to work, applying Davines Defining Creative Molding Mousse on the model's damp roots. Next, he sprays Davines Dede Replenishing Leave-In Conditioner at the ends and rough-dries hair to achieve a tousled, seemingly unwashed finish.

Twins add Phils' May to prospect haul
Minnesota also nets Philly's Worley in exchange for Revere
By Andrew Pentis / Special to MLB.com | December 6, 2012 10:30 AM ET
One week after trading Denard Span for the Nationals' top pitching prospect, the Twins dispatched Span's presumptive replacement for the Phillies' top pitching prospect. The rebuilding AL Central club received Minor League right-hander Trevor May -- and Major League starter Vance Worley -- for outfielder Ben Revere on Thursday, the closing day at the Winter Meetings in Nashville.
May, who was the Phillies' second-ranked prospect, now becomes the Twins' fifth-ranked farmhand, two slots behind Meyer. So make no mistake: Despite the experience of Worley -- he was 18-13 with a 3.50 ERA in 53 career games before undergoing minor elbow surgery in September -- May is the centerpiece of this deal.
As Philadelphia's fourth-round draftee in 2008, May has developed steadily, spending time at each Minor League level, all the way up to Double-A Reading. The 23-year-old right-hander fashioned a 4.87 ERA and a 151-to-87 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 149 2/3 innings -- numbers that quantify his worst season as a pro. His low-to-mid-90 mph fastball, combined with a good curveball and improving changeup, lead scouts to believe he's still on his way up.
"Was an honor to be a part of Phillies org for the past 5 years," May (@Trevmay54) Tweeted after news of the deal spread. "I am truly grateful up for everything they have done for me."
May is likely to begin next spring at Triple-A Rochester in the International League and is therefore a full step ahead of Meyer. But both power-armed right-handers could be together in Minnesota as early as the latter half of 2014. Worley, meanwhile, gives the Twins an immediate quality starter, so long as he can stay healthy.
Revere is a younger, less offensive-minded version Span. The 5-foot-9, 170-pounder is an excellent defender and base-stealer, though 131 of his 150 hits in 2012 were singles. He also wouldn't be a free agent until 2018 at the earliest, which explains why Philadelphia had to dig into its pitching depth.
"We were dealing from what we considered a position of strength," Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. told MLB.com. "We've added some talent as far as starting pitching is concerned toward the top with Ethan Martin, Jonathan Pettibone, Adam Morgan and some others. We felt comfortable moving them. The price of doing business right now to acquire players and free agents ... we just felt getting a controllable player with quite a bit of upside, we felt like he was a good fit for us."
Despite the loss of May, the Phils have lefty Jesse Biddle, righty Brody Colvin and righty Martin among their top seven prospects. All three are at similar stages in their careers and have May-like potential.

Dynamic Buffer Limiting
Dynamic Buffer Limiting (DBL) is a congestion-avoidance quality-of-service (QoS) technique for the Cisco Catalyst 4000/4500 Supervisor Engine IV. DBL effectively recognizes and handles numerous misbehaving flows at wire speed and operates in the switch hardware. Misbehaving flows take all the bandwidth that is available, consume switch buffers, fill output queues, and do not respond to congestion feedback such as random early detection (RED)-like packet dropping. Misbehaving flows can cause denial of service to well-behaved flows.
DBL operates by keeping track of buffering for each flow in the switch, reacting quickly to excessive buffer demands from misbehaving flows and limiting their data rates. A flow is defined as a source IP address, destination IP address, IP protocol, Layer 4 Transmission Control Protocol/User Datagram Protocol (TCP/UDP) ports, and VLAN. If the buffer usage of a flow exceeds a dynamically computed buffer limit, DBL constrains its buffering until the flow reaches a lower threshold. DBL is implemented at wire speed on all ports in the Catalyst 4000 Family with Supervisor Engine IV.
Policy-Based Routing
Policy-based routing (PBR) provides a flexible means of routing packets based on the policies defined by the network administrators. PBR extends and complements the traditional destination-based IP forwarding with routing protocols. Policies can be based on IP addresses, port numbers, or protocols. PBR enables users to classify traffic based on extended access control list (ACL) criteria, and route packets to specific traffic-engineered paths. PBR is typically enabled when certain packets need to be routed some way other than the obvious shortest path. Possible PBR applications include equal-access routing or protocol-sensitive routing, source-sensitive routing, routing based on interactive versus batch traffic, or routing based on dedicated links. PBR is supported in Cisco IOS Software on the Catalyst 4000 with a combination of hardware and software forwarding.
Jumbo Frames
Jumbo frames are Ethernet frames up to 9216 bytes (larger than the IEEE Ethernet maximum transmission unit [MTU]). This feature enables a switch to forward frames as large as 9216 bytes, rather than declaring them "oversized" and discarding them. Jumbo frames are only supported on nonblocking Gigabit Ethernet ports in the Catalyst 4000 Family with Supervisor Engine III or IV. Both Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching can be enabled for jumbo frames on a per-port basis. Jumbo frames are typically enabled to improve performance of large data transfers between servers.
IEEE 802.3ad
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), as defined in IEEE 802.3ad, enables Cisco switches to negotiate Ethernet channels with other devices that conform to the 802.3ad specification. 802.3ad allows the grouping of multiple ports into one logical port to provide higher aggregated bandwidths, traffic load sharing, and link redundancy. It bundles ports with similar characteristics to form a channel through dynamic negotiation with a partner system. EtherChannel® technology can be either Layer 2 (MAC-based) or Layer 3 (IP-based). 802.3ad complements the Cisco Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) for Fast EtherChannel technology and Gigabit EtherChannel technology. Both 802.3ad and PAgP can co-exist on the Catalyst 4000 chassis.
Port Security
Port security enables a network administrator to restrict the MAC addresses allowed or the maximum number of MAC addresses on a per-port basis. The allowed MAC addresses on a given port can be either statically configured by the administrator or dynamically learned by the switch.
A security violation occurs when either the maximum number of MAC addresses on a given port is exceeded or a frame with a nonsecure source MAC address is seen on that port. The port is then shut down, or alternatively, an SNMP trap is generated. Aging with either inactivity or a predefined time interval can be configured with port security for the dynamic or static secure MAC addresses. Port security on the Catalyst 4000 is not supported on trunk ports, dynamic ports, Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) destination ports, or 802.1x ports. Port security locks down a port and blocks access from a station with a MAC address different from the ones specified for that port.
Unicast MAC Filtering
Unicast MAC filtering drops unicast packets that have the given source or destination MAC address in a particular VLAN. Specifying its MAC address and VLAN filters a host. All packets with the specified source or destination host MAC address are discarded in the given VLAN. The specified MAC addresses are saved in the configuration file; they do not age out. Unicast MAC filtering is used to protect the Layer 2 network from malicious activities generated by rogue or hostile devices as they move around the campus.
Private VLAN DHCP Snooping
DHCP snooping is a per-port security mechanism to differentiate an untrusted switch port connected to an end user from a trusted switch port connected to a DHCP server or another switch. It can be enabled on a per-VLAN basis. DHCP snooping intercepts all DHCP messages between a client and a DHCP server, and tracks DHCP IP address assignment binding between the DHCP server and the client. DHCP snooping can be used to filter the DHCP server response messages from an untrusted port, and perform per-port DHCP message rate limiting. DHCP snooping is typically used to prevent DHCP-related denial-of-service attacks by identifying subscribers and filtering unauthorized network traffic. Private VLAN DHCP snooping extends the DHCP snooping function to private VLANs, where DHCP packets in both primary and secondary VLANs are intercepted and processed within the private VLAN.
Secure Shell
Secure Shell (SSH) is an application and a protocol that provides a secure remote connection to a switch. SSH provides strong data encryption using standard cryptographic mechanisms at the application layer. SSH avoids the transmission of clear text passwords across the unsecured network. Any device that wants to accept SSH connections must be running an SSH server, and an SSH client is required to initiate a connection to the server. The Cisco Catalyst IOS Software provides both SSH server and SSH client capabilities. End users will be able to initiate connections to the switch using SSH clients, and will be able to initiate SSH connections from the switch to other devices on the network. A cryptographic image of the Cisco Catalyst IOS is needed for this feature.
VMPS Client
VLAN Management Policy Server (VMPS) is a database of MAC address-to-VLAN mappings. The VMPS client feature enables a VLAN to be assigned to a dynamic port by a VMPS server based on the source MAC address of the attached host. A dynamic port can belong to one VLAN at a time, but the VLAN it belongs to can change dynamically with different attached hosts. Dynamic ports with the VMPS client function in the Cisco Catalyst 4000 enable users to stay in the same VLAN while moving from port to port. VMPS server functions are not supported in the Cisco Catalyst IOS Software.
Intermediate System to Intermediate System
Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) is a link-state routing protocol. It distributes network connectivity information to all participating routers in the forms of Link State PDUs (LSPs). Each router maintains a full topology map of the network based on its current database of LSPs, and runs a shortest path first algorithm to discover the shortest end-to-end path to each entity. IS-IS offers fast convergence to avoid packet delays or losses with problematic links or routers. IS-IS is typically used by ISPs for intradomain routing to exchange reachability information between all the subnets and routers in their respective backbones. A Cisco Catalyst 4000 enhanced Layer 3 Cisco IOS image is required for this feature.
Unidirectional Ethernet Port
Unidirectional Ethernet Port feature enables a Gigabit Ethernet port to transmit traffic without having status information about the receiving Gigabit Ethernet port and vice versa. The Unidirectional Ethernet Port feature is typically used to transport video streams over Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure. The Unidirectional Ethernet Port feature is supported on nonblocking Gigabit Ethernet ports in the Catalyst 4000 Family and can be enabled on a per-port basis. A unidirectional transmit port should be connected with a unidirectional receive port on the other end, and vice versa. Applying the Gigabit EtherChannel feature to a combination of bidirectional and unidirectional Gigabit Ethernet ports can create asymmetric links. Enabling the Unidirectional Ethernet Port feature will automatically disable UniDirectional Link Detection (UDLD) on the port.
NetFlow Statistics Collection and Export
NetFlow statistics collection and export are supported by the NetFlow Services Card on the Cisco Catalyst 4000/4500 Supervisor Engine IV. NetFlow statistics enable flow-level monitoring of all IPv4 routed traffic through the switch. A flow is defined as a source IP address, destination IP address, IP protocol, Layer 4 source port, and Layer 4 destination port. Collected statistics can be exported via NetFlow Data Export (NDE) to an external device, such as a NetFlow collector or a NetFlow analyzer. NetFlow statistics can be exported and analyzed for a variety of purposes such as network traffic accounting, usage-based network billing, network planning, network monitoring, and data mining.
Enhanced VLAN Statistics
Enhanced VLAN statistics extend the basic Layer 3 per-VLAN statistics to full output per-VLAN statistics. It collects and reports both routed and bridged traffic output VLAN statistics for the complete IEEE 802.1q VLAN range. Output packet count and byte count are included in VLAN statistics. Unicast statistics are separated from the multicast statistics. The NetFlow Services Card on the Catalyst 4000/4500 Supervisor Engine IV is required for this feature.
Layer 2 Traceroute
Traceroute is a widely used utility to trace the Layer 3 path of packets in an IP network for debugging purposes. Layer 2 traceroute extends Layer 3 traceroute to the "physical" path of unicast traffic across each Layer 2 device between a source and a destination using Cisco Discovery Protocol data. Layer 2 traceroute shows the Layer 2 path taken by the packet by displaying the device and port information of all the intermediate Cisco Catalyst switches that the packet traverses. Layer 2 traceroute on the Catalyst 4000 does not support multicast traffic.
Enhanced SNMP MIB Support
The following additional SNMP MIBs are supported in this release:
Support for the Cisco IOS Software Release 12.1(13)EW follows the standard Cisco support policy, which is available at:

Xposed Installer v3.1.1 + Framework v87 [Unofficial Nougat MR1]
Requirements: Android 7.0+ | ROOT
Overview: Xposed for Lollipop/Marshmallow is finally here!
XposedInstaller_3.1.1.apk from this thread: Must be installed to manage installed modules, the framework won't work without it.
Framework xposed*.zip Must be flashed with a custom recovery (e.g. TWRP) to install the framework.
SDK21 is Android 5.0 (Lollipop), SDK22 is Android 5.1 (also Lollipop) and SDK23 is Android 6.0 (Marshmallow).
I only support the latest Xposed version!
xposed-uninstaller*.zip Can be flashed with a custom recovery (e.g. TWRP) to uninstall the framework.
The small .asc files are GPG signatures of the .zip files. You can verify them against this key (fingerprint: 0DC8 2B3E B1C4 6D48 33B4 C434 E82F 0871 7235 F333). That's actually the master key, the files are signed with subkey 852109AA.
Known issues:
- Bootloops on Samsung stock ROMs. That's due to Samsung's changes to ART. There are unofficial builds that work around this by deodexing and adjusting the ROM.
- Sony seems to have shipped some ROMs with corrupted services.odex (the embedded .dex is invalid). Those ROMs will bootloop with a "Fatal signal 6" or "No pending exception expected: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException" error, which I unfortunately cannot fix (see https://github.com/rovo89/Xposed/issues/64)
- Dell ships (at least) their Venue 8 7840 with a non-standard version of ART that is somewhere between 5.1 and 6.0 which obviously isn't supported by Xposed (see https://github.com/rovo89/Xposed/issues/77)
No lazy introduction, lets skip to the main point. Xposed v87 for arm/arm64 specially built for Nougat MR1 and up (testing on O)
Generic version, maybe not compatible with Samsung or special ART. Tested on Sony Xperia XZ F8332 and should be working on AOSP/Lineage/Lineage-based ROM
-Disable SELinux or set it as permissive (non Magisk user)
-Flash with TWRP or CWM (who using this these day?)
-Wipe dalvik and cache
-The 1st boot maybe stuck in bootloop. In that case you should force power off and try to boot again. The 2nd boot will work
-Install the Marshmallow Xposed apk (yes its working) to manage your Xposed.
-Initial release. Bugs falling from the sky...
-For those with Error 1 when flashing Magisk version
please clean your Magisk img and make sure it has enough free space

JASPER, IN – Six lines, part of the Kimball® Office | interstuhl® partnership, recently received Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) Indoor Advantage™ Gold Certification for their indoor air quality contribution. The certification was granted to the Axos™, Xantos™, Hero. Just for You.™, Silver™, Fit™, and Mitos™ lines of seating.
"Kimball Office strives to provide clients with safe, sustainable products; now we can officially include the Interstuhl lines as part of our green portfolio," says Jeff Fenwick, vice president and general manager at Kimball Office. "The Kimball Office | interstuhl products were designed with the environment in mind, and it's great to see them meet SCS Indoor Advantage Gold levels."
The SCS Indoor Advantage program applies to products used within enclosed, indoor environments—specifically within a commercial or classroom setting. To achieve gold level certification, each product met IAQ requirements as defined by the U.S. Green Building Council and California Section 01250 IAQ requirements. Additionally, the seating lines claimed two furniture emission points in the Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturers Association e3 Furniture Sustainability Standard.
The SCS environmental certification process includes site audits to access documented control systems, including quality control plans, record keeping and select product samples for laboratory testing.
One of the largest contributions office furniture can make to a building's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) certification is through indoor air quality via low-emitting products. Clients can view the environmental qualities and certifications of Kimball Office products on the sustainability page at www.kimballoffice.com.

On September 3, the Rock Allegiance Tour will be at the Maverik Center, it has just been announced.
The tour will bring American audiences a decidedly international feel.
The tour will feature Volbeat, HIM, All That Remains and Airbourne.
"The fans have made our North American visits thus far this year great fun and truly memorable," Volbeat frontman Michael Poulsen said in a press release. "We are looking forward to headlining Monster Energy's Rock Allegiance festival tour this summer, and sharing the stage with HIM, All That Remains and Airbourne."
From the press release:
Danish superstars Volbeat, who have enjoyed No. 1 status at active rock radio, will share the stage with HIM, a cult favorite from Finland whose fans are disciple-like in their devotion. All That Remains have scratched and clawed their way out of Massachusetts and rocketed up the radio charts over the past half-decade, all the while keeping a firm foothold in the hard rock/metal scene. Airbourne have been making a name for themselves ever since emerging from Australia, armed with plenty of riffs and just as much attitude.

I am just curious as to how many web hosting providers are still using PHP 5.2 as their default PHP version. How many have made the leap to offering PHP 5.3 as their default PHP version?
I know PHP just recently released version 5.4. I don't suspect a lot of web hosts have moved to PHP 5.4. But I am just wondering what the numbers are for web hosts that use PHP 5.3 vs. web hosts that use PHP 5.2.
We still have PHP 5.2 by default on our servers, but want to upgrade it to PHP 5.3. But if most web hosts are still using PHP 5.2, then maybe we don't need to be in a huge rush to upgrade to PHP 5.3.
For web hosts that have upgraded to PHP 5.3, what kind of issues did you experience with the upgrade? What sort of script compatibility issues did you face? Our web hosting users seem to use mostly WordPress, Joomla!, Drupal, Zen Cart, SMF, Coppermine, 4images, and Gallery. Did you experience any compatibility issues with any of these scripts?
Most of them are compatible with PHP 5.3, with the newest releases. However, the old versions that are still maintained might not. For example, Drupal 6 having some modules doesn't compatible with PHP 5.3
Very little issues moving from PHP 5.2 to 5.3 on all the servers / sites I run, I had one really old site that didnt take kindly to the update, we retired that site instead as it wasn't being used anymore.
Hi,When the customers will ask for new php version, or go to other company, they will think to make the update.
On shared hosting php upgrade is not so easy as that can affect on hundreds of website. This is why you will find hosts that are using still php 5.2.
Actually, it's not that hard. If customers are serious by using their websites, they will keep their websites updated. And most of open source scripts today are compatible with PHP 5.3. The only script I had issue is vTiger. Other hand-codes sites can adjust easily too.
Another issue is Zend Optimizer. Zend doesn't provide Optimizer for PHP 5.3. Tried to install OptimizerPlus 4.1, but the files encoded in 5.2 are still not compatible.
PHP 5.3.x doesn't use Zend Optimizer, it uses Zend Guard Loader instead:
We currently run PHP 5.2 as the default PHP version, but will be switching this to PHP 5.3 in 30-45 days. However, we also run PHP 5.3 and PHP 5.4, so clients can choose which version they want to run, and even run all three versions under one account.
If you read my post again, the point is: files encoded in 5.2 are not compatible with Zend Optimizer Plus, or Zend Guard Loader.
Sorry, I misread what you wrote. I don't run across many (actually I can't think of any) clients that have Zend encoded files, they all use ionCube, which is supported in 5.3. Most applications that do encode offer both as a download option as well, so there's always that alternative.

Healthcare Sector Props Up March Jobs Report
Solid job growth in the healthcare sector in March continued to prop up national job creation numbers during an otherwise anemic month. Healthcare accounted for 23,400 of the 88,000 new jobs created in March, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Within the healthcare sector, 15,000 jobs were created in ambulatory services, which includes physicians' offices, and 8,000 jobs were created in hospitals.
Andrew Hanson, a research analyst at the Center on Education and the Workforce–Georgetown University, says healthcare job growth is expected to continue grow as Americans age.
"The fact that healthcare is one of four new jobs in this month's report is very much in line with our expectations," Hanson says. "Given the sort of underwhelming job growth overall, the number of healthcare jobs might be a little bit less than we might expect, but that doesn't have so much to do with its strength relative to other jobs. It's more that there is weak job growth overall in this report."
Healthcare created 62,900 new jobs in the first quarter of 2013, a pace that is significantly lower than the 88,200 jobs in the first three months of 2012. In 2012 the healthcare sector created 320,600 jobs, BLS data show.
Hanson cautions against reading too much into the dramatic drop in job growth in the first quarter of 2012 when comparing the same period in 2012.

Thanks for that, there is a typo
cp --preserve -R /{bin,dev,home,pentest,root,boot,usr,etc,lib,opt,sb in,var} /mnt/backtrack
should be
cp --preserve -R /{bin,dev,home,pentest,root,boot,usr,etc,lib,opt,sbin,var} /mnt/backtrack
Works with BackTrack 4 Beta & windows including XP,vista,7.
Hello to all.time to make some fun with back|track 4 beta along with windows.I have tested this using windows 7 ultimate beta & BT 4 Beta.the fun part is both of the distro's are in beta state & will update time to time until final release.first install windows 7 ultimate and I assume you know how to do that(the most easiest thing is world I assume).here is what partition scheme I used.change it accordingly to your HDD partitions.also I assume you have make 3 extra partitions from the empty space from HDD using 3rd party tool like paragon partition manager/hiren boot,as fdisk options wipe the partition.
Boot through BT4 ISO and see the mount point using
root@ThUnDerBolT:~#nano /etc/fstab
here is how my partition scheme looks like
Note down the partition scheme of your HDD as it will be use for later reference
now back to terminal
unmount all the NTFS & EXT,reiserfs File System
root@ThUnDerBolT:~#umount /dev/sda1
root@ThUnDerBolT:~#umount /dev/sda2
root@ThUnDerBolT:~#umount /dev/sda3
root@ThUnDerBolT:~#umount /dev/sda5
root@ThUnDerBolT:~#umount /dev/sda6
now fdisk the sda harddisk
root@ThUnDerBolT:~#fdisk /dev/sda
Here is how my hard-disk partition scheme is
Please note down the linux partions start cylinder & last cylinder.In my case its
/dev/sda5 29561 30325 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 30326 30334 83 Linux
/dev/sda7 30335 30401 82 Linux swap / Solaris
now delete the Linux partitions carefully.use commands
now reboot once as the kernel is still using old tables
root@ThUnDerBolT:~#init 6
now back to terminal after reboot
root@ThUnDerBolT:~#fdisk /dev/sda
2 #only if you are seeing your NTFS partition as Hidden HPFS/NTFS
7 #change Hidden HPFS/NTFS to Normal HPFS/NTFS partition
3 #only if you are seeing your NTFS partition as Hidden HPFS/NTFS
7 #change Hidden HPFS/NTFS to Normal HPFS/NTFS partition
82 #setting last sda7 as swap partition
and it should look like this now
now write the tables
root@ThUnDerBolT:~#mke2fs /dev/sda6
root@ThUnDerBolT:~#mkswap /dev/sda7
root@ThUnDerBolT:~#swapon /dev/sda7
root@ThUnDerBolT:~#mkreiserfs /dev/sda5
Choose Y
root@ThUnDerBolT:~#mkdir /mnt/backtrack
root@ThUnDerBolT:~#mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/backtrack
root@ThUnDerBolT:~#mkdir /mnt/backtrack/boot
root@ThUnDerBolT:~#mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/backtrack/boot
root@ThUnDerBolT:~#cp --preserve -R /{bin,dev,home,pentest,root,boot,usr,etc,lib,opt,sb in,var} /mnt/backtrack
root@ThUnDerBolT:~#cd /mnt/backtrack
root@ThUnDerBolT:~#mkdir {mnt,proc,sys,tmp}
root@ThUnDerBolT:~#chmod 1777 /mnt/backtrack/tmp
root@ThUnDerBolT:~#mount --bind /dev /mnt/backtrack/dev
root@ThUnDerBolT:~#mount -t proc proc /mnt/backtrack/proc/
root@ThUnDerBolT:~#chroot /mnt/backtrack /bin/bash
root@ThUnDerBolT:~#nano /etc/lilo.conf
your LILO config should look like this
Replace the windows partition with yours e.g. /dev/sda1 to blah blah
save and exit
root@ThUnDerBolT:~#lilo -v
Make mount points for our windows/pen drive
root@ThUnDerBolT:~#mkdir /mnt {sda1,sda2,sda3,sdb1,sr0)
root@ThUnDerBolT:~#nano /etc/fstab
Update your fstab file & add entries of partitions there
here is how my fstab looks like.update it accordingly to your HDD partitions
Save & Exit
root@ThUnDerBolT:~#init 6
That's it!
1.if you are getting error "cannot obtain lock on /media/.hal-mtab" then enter the mount partion entry into /etc/fstab file.e.g as I was getting this error while accessing DVD Drive and Pen-Drive or windows partitions then make directories and update fstab file or alternatively do this
mkdir /media
touch /media/.hal-mtab
2.if you have used command "update-rc.d networking defaults".every time BT starts it will look for DHCP address for NIC's.if you don't have any connection at that time.it will just keep looking.for getting it out press ctrl +c and enter.it will carry on booting then.
3.those who wants to manually start networking type
root@ThUnDerBolT:~#/etc/init.d/networking start
If you find any bugs feel free to comment it on my blog and to update on remote-exploit forum.
Thanks for that, there is a typo
cp --preserve -R /{bin,dev,home,pentest,root,boot,usr,etc,lib,opt,sb in,var} /mnt/backtrack
should be
cp --preserve -R /{bin,dev,home,pentest,root,boot,usr,etc,lib,opt,sbin,var} /mnt/backtrack
its /sbin only.becuase of some format system of forum,its looking like a space in between.
Great thank you very much i look forward to try it!! um also one quick noob question how did u managed to get more than 4 usable partitions in your
do you have like double HDD??? or is there a way to create more usable partitions?
I aint crazy just a lil mistaken
Read up on primary, logical & extended partitions.
You can start here
so what do you guys think of that post below another method to install bt4 in win7?
also thanks for the advice #mfBaranian# i did notice what he did over there
he used extended partitions for #5,6,7 and he skipped using #4 primary
so my partitions
looked like this until after i upgraded to win7 and my lilo boot manager got whipped
/sda1 ntfs win main
/sda2 ntfs backup
/sda3 linux reiserfs << backtrack
/sda4 linux solaris swap
now i will make it look like this
/sda1 ntfs win main
/sda2 ntfs backup
/sda5 linux
/sda6 linux
/sda7 swap solaris linux
plz correct me if im wrong
thank you for real and i will try this first if i something goes wrong ill bring feedback and i will go an attempt also doing what the forum link i posted tried.
I aint crazy just a lil mistaken
good work. is there anyway to dual boot with BT if you already have win7 installed?
You can install BT4 regardless of the already installed systems on your machine. Everything you need is written here in this post and in the forum. Just prepare your partitions and use unetbootin.
It doesn-t come any easier than that. And search for Christ's sake....
sounds good to me
