Zero Configuration Networking
Nucleus Zero Configuration Networking provides necessary middleware to allow Machine-to-Machine (M2M) network name and IP address resolution for use in smart grid and other self-configuring applications. This allows application developers to target modern automated network installations without the need for the developer to be concerned with the network topology. Engineers developing with the Nucleus RTOS can write applications that will function in both conventional and M2M networks.
M2M Network Operation
Zero configuration networks target situations where it is impractical to have a central server. Such networks typically have a very dynamic population and may or may not have broader network or internet connectivity. To accommodate this scenario, M2M networks will announce their name and/or services, as well as request peer information, through an IP broadcast address. All other devices will record and/or respond to the broadcast as appropriate.
Multicast Domain Name Service (mDNS) allows a peer to broadcast a request for name to IP address resolution by transmitting a UDP packet using an IP multicast. All devices on the local network will receive the request, and the targeted device will respond with its IP address. All other peers will record the transaction and update their mDNS caches.
Domain Name System Service Discovery support allows embedded devices to dynamically add functionality to zero configuration networks. This service provides the means for a device to announce available services. For example a smart grid device can announce a Demand Response / Load Control service to balance energy loads and respond to energy demands. The peers on the network can then use the services made available by these devices without being pre-configured to expect a particular device connection.

Stormwater runoff refers to runoff resulting from rainfall. It is very noticeable during heavy rainstorms when large volumes of water drain off the urban landscape picking up pollutants along the way.
Wastewater or Urban runoff can happen anytime of the year when excessive water use from irrigation, vehicle washing, construction activities and other sources carries trash, lawn clippings and other urban pollutants into storm drains.

Financial Aid: General Info
Please click on the topics below to read more about those areas.
If you have trouble finding the information you are looking for, check the CIM College Catalog, where much of the info listed here is explained in detail. You may also try referring to our FAQs page or our Links & Forms section.
Financial Aid FAQ for current term
Enrollment and Aid Eligibility.
To be eligible to receive most types of financial assistance from CIM, you must register for a full-time class load. An undergraduate full-time load is 12 credit hours. Full-time load for graduate students is 9 credit hours.
Before receiving the first disbursement of any aid, all students must have on file with the Registrar's Office their official final transcript from High School (or Home School or GED) as well as official final undergraduate college transcript for graduate students. These items are generally due no later than July 15, before school begins.
Students who attend half-time may receive prorated Federal aid, if eligible. Half-time is 6 credit hours for undergraduate students and 5 credit hours for graduate students. Enrollment for less than a full-time class load must be approved in advance by the CIM Dean.
Basic student eligibility for Federal Student Aid requires a valid FAFSA and is defined here: http://studentaid.ed.gov/eligibility.
Meeting All of Your Financial Need.
While we do our best to meet as much need as possible, CIM cannot guarantee to meet all of your financial need. Awards may include a combination of scholarships, grants, loans, work study, service awards and fellowships. Degree program, year of attendance, FAFSA EFC (Expected Family Contribution), CIM funding levels from the government and our institutional budget all are factors in determining how much we may award you from any type of aid.
As the above-mentioned factors change from year to year, the amount offered from each type of aid may vary, other than the CIM Scholarship, which is renewed at the same level each year for the normal duration of the program, assuming renewal deadlines are met and the student maintains satisfactory GPA, academic and artistic progress.
Prior to confirming the status as a confirmed new student, all international students are required by the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security to document the ability to pay for the first year at CIM. It is required to obtain the I-20 needed to get the F-1 visa. While this requirement only pertains to ability to pay for the first year, please plan ahead and consider your ability to fund the additional year(s) of your CIM enrollment.
If you have a sponsor or other aid to help pay the first year, and it is not available in subsequent years, CIM shall not be expected to make up the difference. Remember, the CIM Scholarship is renewable at the SAME dollar amount each year for the normal duration of the program (assuming GPA, academic and artistic progress requirements are being met). Newly admitted international applicants must show documentation of ability to pay prior to being confirmed as a new student and this process should be complete by the April 15 (graduate) or May 1 (undergraduate) Intent to Enroll deadlines.
International students must also document official TOEFL score minimums as defined by the CIM Admission office, as noted here www.cim.edu/conservatory/admission/apply-international.
FAFSA EFC (Expected Family Contribution).
Each year, U.S. citizens and permanent residents will submit the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) at www.fafsa.ed.gov. The processed result of the FAFSA is the EFC, the "Expected Family Contribution," which is the U.S. Department of Education's determination of your family's financial strength.
The EFC is the key element for determining most Federal and state aid eligibility, some of which is need-based and some of which is not. A zero EFC indicates the highest financial need and a 99999 indicates the lowest.
Even if you feel your family situation will not result in financial aid, we do encourage all to complete the process, as CIM Scholarships take into account both merit and financial need and eligibility for both the Federal Direct Stafford and PLUS Loans do not require any financial need, but are only an option if there is a valid FAFSA on file.
Your EFC may result in significantly different aid offers depending among schools. Not all schools participate in all of the same aid programs and may have varying levels of federal funding for those programs. With the variance in cost among schools, you may not qualify for a specific type of aid at one school, but you may at another. The FAFSA is helps to make that determination. The amount of your EFC does not mean that CIM specifically will expect you and your family to pay that amount, but we are required to use that number in the aid awarding process to compare relative need among students and for all federal need based aid decisions.
The FAFSA is year-specific. Your EFC may fluctuate from year to year, which may cause your Federal and state aid to fluctuate as well. As the EFC goes up, your need-based eligibility goes down, and vice versa. If you wish to get a better idea of where you will stand prior to completing your actual year-specific FAFSA, you may complete the "FAFSA 4caster" in advance at www.fafsa4caster.ed.gov.
In accordance with federal financial aid regulations, the data entered on the 14-15 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by many students must be verified for accuracy. The U.S. Department of Education selects approximately one third of all FAFSA filers to undergo this process. The CIM Financial Aid Office also has authority to select applicants, and actually conducts the Verification process. If you are selected for FAFSA Verification, your eligibility for federal financial assistance for the 14-15 award year cannot be finalized until this process has been completed.
If FAFSA Verification is required, you will see a 14-15 Verification Form STUDENT and Verification Form PARENT listed as required for disbursement on your CIM NetPartner documents screen. Please be sure to submit the form(s) as listed as soon as you are able (as soon as 2013 federal tax return information is complete). For more details, please refer to the 14-15 Verification Policy.
Federal Tax Filing Information and Resources
How to obtain a Tax Return Transcript from the IRS.
An official IRS Tax Return Transcript can be requested via IRS Form 4506-T, online at http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Order-a-Transcript or by calling the IRS at 1-800-908-9946. Unless specifically requested by CIM to send a photocopy of your copy of the return, please do not send personal copies. Federal Student Aid regulations require schools to use only data provided from the IRS in most cases.
How to use the FAFSA IRS Data Retrieval Tool.
Log into your current FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov and follow the steps from the instructions found here in this detailed step-by-step site: http://www.irsdataretrievaltool.com/irs-data-retrieval-tool-step-by-step-instructions. Unless specifically requested by CIM to send a photocopy of your copy of the return, please do not send personal copies. Federal Student Aid regulations require schools to use only data provided directly from the IRS in most cases.
Dependent vs. Independent Student Status.
There are specific questions on the FAFSA that determine student dependency status. If you can answer "yes" to any one of them as of the date you complete the FAFSA, you are independent; if not, you are dependent. You do not have the option to declare yourself independent just because you may live away from your parents, fully support yourself or if your parents cannot or will not help you financially. For the 14-15 FAFSA and academic year, these are the dependency questions:
- I was born before January 1, 1991
- As of today, are you married? (Also answer "Yes" if you are separated but not divorced.)
- At the beginning of the 2014-2015 school year, will you be working on a master's or doctorate program (such as an MA, MBA, MD, JD, PhD, graduate certificate, etc.)?
- Are you currently serving on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces for purposes other than training?
- Are you a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces?
- Do you have children who will receive more than half of their support from you between July 1, 2014 and June 30, 2015?
- Do you have dependents (other than your children or spouse) who live with you and who receive more than half of their support from you, now and through June 30, 2015?
- At any time since you turned age 13, were both your parents deceased, were you in foster care or were you a dependent or ward of the court?
- As determined by a court in your state of legal residence, are you or were you an emancipated minor?
- As determined by a court in your state of legal residence, are you or were you in legal guardianship?
- At any time on or after July 1, 2013, did your high school or school district homeless liaison determine that you were an unaccompanied youth who was homeless?
- At any time on or after July 1, 2013, did the director of an emergency shelter or transitional housing program funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development determine that you were an unaccompanied youth who was homeless?
- At any time on or after July 1, 2013, did the director of a runaway or homeless youth basic center or transitional living program determine that you were an unaccompanied youth who was homeless or were self-supporting and at risk of being homeless?
Financial Aid Administrators have the discretion to consider Dependency Overrides, where the student may be reclassified from dependent to independent status for aid purposes. This determination is made on a case by case basis and requires documentation of unusual circumstances (such as parental abuse or abandonment of student) to warrant the override consideration.
The Department of Education specifically does NOT allow the following, singly or in combination, to qualify as unusual circumstances meriting a dependency override:
- Parents refuse to contribute to the student's education.
- Parents are unwilling to provide information on the FAFSA or for verification.
- Parents do not claim the student as a dependent for income tax purposes.
- Student demonstrates total self-sufficiency.
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy.
CIM's Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy is found at https://www.cim.edu/assets/downloads/college/sap.pdf.
Prior to accepting any financial aid at CIM each year, students are required to acknowledge they have read and understand our Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy.
This policy is applicable to eligibility for all aid programs at CIM, including:
- Federal Pell Grant
- Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
- Federal Work Study
- Federal Perkins Loan
- Federal Direct Stafford Loan
- Federal Direct PLUS Loan
- State of Ohio Grants (Ohio Board of Regents)
- *CIM Institutional Scholarship
- *CIM Work Study
- *CIM Institutional Loan and Private Loans that require SAP.
*Note there are additional criteria required for CIM Financial Aid renewal above and beyond this SAP policy. These criteria are detailed following the text of the SAP policy.
CIM evaluates all Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) components at the conclusion of each Semester for all students. Students at CIM must meet all of the requirements stated in the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy regardless of whether or not they previously received financial aid.
The following components are measured to determine whether the student is meeting SAP standards: Qualitative (Grade Point Average), Quantitative (credits earned) and Maximum Timeframe.
It is important students consider the SAP policy when enrolling in classes, deciding to withdraw or take an incomplete grade for a class, etc. as all do impact SAP status. Be mindful that the minimums are being met, so your aid is not jeopardized. Also keep in mind that by only meeting the minimums of the SAP policy will often not be enough for a student to graduate on time, within the normal duration of their program.
- Applicants
CIM makes its best offer of financial assistance in the initial award made to students prior to the first semester of study. CIM understands that certain circumstances may present your family with unique financial challenges and therefore newly admitted students may request reconsideration of our aid offer through a formal appeal process. Newly admitted student appeals will not be considered until all admitted students have received an aid offer, or by April 1, whichever is first. Once CIM has received your tuition deposit/Intent to Enroll or you have accepted your CIM aid offer, we are unable to accept an appeal unless the triggering involuntary and unexpected event occurs after the date of confirmation of Intent to Enroll, and can be documented as such. If an appeal is warranted, please print and return the appropriate form below, based on your aid request type (as noted on your application for admission and printed on your award notification email from the Financial Aid Office):
Need and Merit Applicant Appeal Form
Merit Only Applicant Appeal Form (it is generally expected such a request involves changing aid request status to both need and merit and submit previously waived need based application forms for re-evaluation). - Current Students
Current student appeals may only be considered in the event of a recent, involuntary, unexpected AND documentable event such as parent loss of job/reduction of income, major illness or death of immediate family member, natural disaster, etc. Receipts, canceled checks, letters from employers, doctors or other applicable documentation must accompany any appeal. For all such special circumstance appeals to be considered, completion of the Verification process (if not already selected by Department of Education), which requires official 2013 tax return information in addition to the Appeal Form must take place before your review will occur. Please allow 3 weeks for the results of this appeal CIM will not begin reviewing current student appeals for the 14-15 year until May 1. CIM specifically will NOT accept an appeal for any of the following reasons, whether singly or in combination:
- Annual increase in cost of attendance - this is not a special circumstance, it is applicable to every student every year and is disclosed to all upon admission.
- Parent retirement, unless due to disability - this is considered a voluntary change in income.
- Illness/death of family member other than spouse, parent or sibling - this is outside the scope of financial status of immediate family.
- Student wins competitions or excels academically - being a good student is not a "special circumstance," you were admitted with the expectation that you will thrive at CIM.
- Graduate students: Parent reduction of income (for any reason) for U.S. or permanent resident - no parental income/assets are included on your FAFSA for your financial need determination, as all graduate students are classified as independent for federal aid purposes. As such, there is an assumed $0 parent contribution for all graduate students already.
- Fluctuations in currency exchange rates between the U.S. and another country.
Download form here: Returning Student Appeal Form
Notes for ALL appeals: Not all appeals will result in increased aid. Nor should CIM be expected to provide institutional financial aid to cover an unexpected loss of financial resources while enrolled for study. In such circumstances, the student may need to take out additional loans privately, take a leave of absence or withdraw from school. Ability to pay is a consideration that must be made when deciding which school to attend. CIM's admission philosophy is to encourage students and parents to find a school that is "the best fit"; "best fit" includes financial affordability. All appeals are considered on a case by case basis.
CIM Refund, Withdrawal & LOA Policies (Return of Federal Title IV Aid policy).
When a student withdraws from school without completing a period of enrollment (semester), the school must determine the amount of Federal Title IV funds "earned" for the portion of the payment period or period of enrollment the student attended. Unearned Federal student aid must be returned. Earned aid that the student has not yet received must be offered to the student by the school as a post-withdrawal disbursement.
- The Registrar and Dean Offices are designated as contact points for students who wish to withdraw.
- Registrar/Dean determines the withdrawal date and reports it to other CIM offices. The Financial Aid Office then notifies the Department of Education (NSLDS).
- The Financial Aid Director calculates the return of Title IV funds formula (per Federal regulations) and will notify the student of his or her obligation to repay funds, tracks the repayment, whether a repayment agreement will be offered and monitored by the institution, as well as the timing and responsibility for referring overpayments to DOE.
You may find our current CIM Polices as linked here:
Part Time vs Full Time Enrollment: CIM Financial Aid and Billing Implications.
Part Time means any semester with less than a full time status and requires advance approval from the CIM Dean. For undergraduates, full time status requires a minimum of 12 enrolled credits as of the last day of drop/add for any term (including summer). Graduate full time status requires a minimum of 9 enrolled credits as of the last day of drop/add for any term (including summer). To be eligible for any institutional aid, a student must be enrolled as full time for a fall or spring term. No institutional aid is applicable for summer sessions, regardless of full time/part time status. With half time enrollment or more, (6 credits for undergraduate, 5 credits for graduate), a student may be eligible only for prorated federal Stafford, federal PLUS or private loans, as applicable. There are limited private loan opportunities for less than half time enrollment.
Students enrolled part time are billed the same fees as full time students, with the exception of the tuition fee itself. Instead of the standard full time tuition fee, the student is billed by the credit hour, which is calculated annually. The same payment policies apply to all students, regardless of enrollment status.
Any time a student drops below half time status, the grace period will begin for any loan(s) that they have. The grace period is a status where no payments on the loan are due, although interest will continue to accrue on any unsubsidized loan(s). Once the grace period has expired, normal repayment of your loan(s) begins, per the terms and conditions of the Promissory Note signed prior to the loan being disbursed. Stafford Loans have a 6 month grace period; Perkins Loans have a 9 month grace period; CIM Institutional Loans have a one year grace period. PLUS Loans have no grace period, but Graduate PLUS loan borrowers will generally receive the same grace period in place for their Stafford Loan. Consolidation loans have no grace period.
Students with federal loans from their time enrolled at CIM will receive a Federal Student Loan Exit Counseling packet from the CIM Financial Aid Office any time a student ceases to be enrolled at least half time, as less than half time does not qualify for the "in-school deferment" status. If your grace period expires but you later enroll at least half time or more, whether at CIM or any other school, you will NOT get a new grace period on loans borrowed previously. Only subsequent loans will get a grace period the next time you cease to be enrolled at least half time.
To be eligible for Title IV (federal) funds, a student must be a regular student as defined in section 600.2 of the General Provisions regulations: "A person who is enrolled or accepted for enrollment at an institution for the purpose of obtaining a degree, certificate, or other recognized educational credential offered by that institution." Therefore, students are not eligible to receive federal Title IV assistance for credit hours/course work which will not count towards the completion of that student's degree program requirements.
State Homeschool Certificate or GED.
Status as a home schooled student may affect your eligibility for Federal financial aid. Home schooled applicants are eligible to receive Federal Student Aid funds if their secondary school education was in a home school that state law treats as a home or private school. Some states issue a secondary school completion credential to home schooled students. If this is the case in the state where the student was home schooled, they must obtain this credential in order to be eligible for Federal Student Aid funds. Many home schooled students also obtain a GED, which will fulfill the federal aid eligibility issue. If your state does NOT issue such certificates, you need to provide CIM documentation of that from an official source from your state of residence and we may waive need to obtain the certificate or proof of GED.
While CIM does not offer any institutional aid during the summer term, if a student is enrolled at least half time, he/she may be eligible for federal aid, if the annual limit for such aid was not fully used during the previous fall/spring academic year. Students enrolling less than half time in summer may pursue private educational loans. CIM treats summer terms as a "trailer" of the preceding semesters and summer aid eligibility must take into account aid used in those prior semesters. In most cases, PLUS loans or private loans will be the only remaining aid option for summer students. Enrollment status for summer is the same as during the fall/spring semesters: full time for undergraduates is 12 credits and half time is 6 credits; for graduate students, 9 credits is full time and half time is 5 credits. For example, to be eligible for loans in the summer of 2016 term, the student must have a valid 15-16 FAFSA. Students must be matriculated into a degree or certificate program at CIM to seek federal or private loans. Loan disbursement dates for summer term will be disbursed no earlier than the first Friday of the term, assuming all items in the aid file are complete. Attendance must be documented to have begun.

Choose from These SEO Training Classes
We offer two distinct search engine optimization training courses. Choose our three-day "Standard" training or add-on our day-and-a-half "Advanced" certification to take both SEO classes in one trip. Each class offers a unique education, but are meant to be taken in sequence; the Standard course is a prerequisite for the Advanced training and SEO certification test.
Our Standard SEO training is packed full of fundamental SEO, technical information, and tried and true methodologies – plus an introduction of other Web marketing disciplines and how they play into SEO. This is a course that works well for marketing, Web and IT personnel, site owners and managers, and anyone responsible for organic traffic. Our SEO classroom training teaches you how to use the tools you'll need to fuel your SEO strategy.
Included in your registration is a 12-month membership to the SEOToolSet® -- our proprietary SaaS tools that empower your SEO. And during your time with us, you'll learn how to use our tools.
Version 5 of our tools offers unique data and is better and faster than other tools. The Pro edition of the tools gives you several domains, six users and tracking for 100 keywords. This subscription alone is valued at (3 domains x $30/mo x 12 months) over a thousand dollars, but is yours free for a full year when you take the SEOToolSet Standard training. The advanced course gets even more domains, almost as much as the course fees.
Cost for Standard training course: $1,795*
*Special discounts can apply; see our discounts section below.
Our "Advanced" search engine optimization training course leading to optional SEO Certification is for those who want a more complex look into the practice, the technical "back end" of SEO, and who plan on being "power users" of our SEO tools. This SEO training is for those who wish to become an SEOToolSet certified analyst (upon passing a test after classroom SEO training).
The road to SEO certification is comprised of two SEO classes, starting with the Standard course and continuing with the Advanced training, taken in succession in our SEO classroom during the same week or at a later date.
Certification offers many benefits including joining our reference network of industry peers. We often refer business to our certified SEOToolSet analysts if they run a marketing business and a propsect is not a fit for our services.
Certification also offers the right to display our certification seal on your website and other marketing materials; this is an industry-recognized standard of excellence and commitment to white hat SEO practices.
Cost for Advanced training course: $1,195*
*Special discounts can apply; see our discounts section below.
Both SEO classes offer unique perks: an intimate and interactive classroom where questions are encouraged; breaks and lunches that are great for networking or talking directly with Bruce Clay about your website; a chance to be interviewed for BCI's YouTube video series; special guests; and much more.
Both search engine optimization training courses are taught in the same week, so many students find it cost-effective for travel expenses to take advantage of the full week classroom SEO training.
However, for those who are local, taking the Advanced SEO training and SEO certification at least a month after the Standard course allows time for the tactics learned in our SEO classroom to be applied, giving added perspective.
Cost for both Standard and Advanced SEO classes together: $2,990

The Specialized Cooperative Centers Program in Reproduction and Infertility Research (SCCPIR), previously named the Specialized Cooperative Centers Program in Reproductive Research (SCCPRR), is a national network of research-based centers that promotes multidisciplinary interactions between basic and clinical scientists interested in establishing high quality translational research programs in the reproductive sciences. The centers also serve as national resources for the training and career development of young scientists electing to pursue careers conducting research in high priority areas of reproduction and infertility. Such a program forms a national network of Centers that facilitates and accelerates bidirectional knowledge transfer between the laboratory and clinic, with the ultimate goal of improving human reproductive health through enhanced communication, innovation and research excellence.
The first SCCPRR request for applications was issued in 1996, and the first four awards were issued in 1998. The program now includes 12 sites around the country, and it is supported by the NICHD Fertility and Infertility (FI) Branch (formerly the Reproductive Sciences (RS) Branch) through a cooperative agreement in which Center investigators are expected to work with NICHD staff in facilitating research collaborations and interactions within and among centers, private foundations, and industry. A steering committee, comprising each site's principal investigator and the FI Branch project scientist, coordinates the program's research and collaborative efforts.
Each center supports one- to two-year pilot projects that may be used to support new investigators, established investigators, or collaborative projects involving investigators from different SCCPIR centers. Funds are also available to provide translational research training experiences for trainees from other centers, for scholars supported under institutional K12 awards, and for individuals from foreign institutions wishing to train at one of the SCCPIR sites. An Outreach/Education Core supports activities related to community outreach and education.
The research activities that comprise the SCCPIR center grants must be consistent with the broad research mission of the FI Branch; these include (but are not limited to) those described below:
The SCCPIR established several research focus groups to promote interactions among investigators from different centers on specific topics. Focus group meetings provide an arena for investigators to present their unpublished research findings and to develop pilot collaborative projects. Current focus groups are interested in the following areas:
The NICHD, through the SCCPIR program, also supports several research resources including the Human Ovary Tissue Bank (UCSD), the Endometrial Tissue and DNA Bank (UCSF), The Human Placenta Bank (UCSF), and the Ligand Assay and Analysis Core (UVa). The SCCPIR program also supports the following databases:

Oracle Corp.'s Outside In Technology is a document conversion engine supporting a large number of binary file formats. Prior to Oracle's acquisition, the software was maintained by Stellent Inc. The software appears to have originated from "QuickView" for Windows 98, but later spun off. It is used by various software packages, one of which is Motorola Inc.'s Good Mobile Messaging Server. For more information, visit the vendors' sites at the URLs provided below.
Remote exploitation of multiple integer overflow vulnerabilities in Oracle Corp.'s Outside In Technology, as included in various vendors' software distributions, allows attacker to execute arbitrary code.
These vulnerabilities exist in the handling of an optional data stream stored within various files. Both issues are integer overflows, and are within the same function.
Within the vulnerable function, an integer value is read from the Microsoft Office file. This value is later used in several arithmetic integer calculations. Since no validation is performed, integer overflows can occur. The result is the allocation of a buffer that is too small to hold the data that is subsequently read from the file. A heap buffer overflow occurs, leading to an exploitable condition.
Exploitation of these vulnerabilities allows attackers to execute arbitrary code. In order to exploit these vulnerabilities, the attacker must somehow supply a malformed document to an application that will process the document with Outside In Technology. Likewise, the privileges gained will also depend on the software using the library.
In the case of Good Mobile Messaging Server, an attacker can send an electronic mail message with a specially crafted Office document attachment to a user. When the user chooses to view the document, the vulnerable condition will be triggered. Upon successful exploitation, the attacker will gain the privileges of the "GoodAdmin" user. This is a special user account which, in some configurations, may be a member of the "Administrator" group. Regardless of the user's "Administrator" status, the user will always have full privileges to "Read" and "Send As" all users on the Microsoft Exchange server. This could allow an attacker to conduct further social engineering attacks.
Other software packages using Outside In were not investigated.
iDefense confirmed the existence of these vulnerabilities using the follow versions of Outside In on Windows Server 2003. Multiple modules were confirmed to contain the vulnerable code; vsmpp, vspp97, vsvisio, vsw6, vsw97, vsxl5. Other modules may also be affected.
220.127.116.1182 184.108.40.20617 188.8.131.5266 220.127.116.1129
Additionally the following versions of Good Mobile Messaging Server for Exchange ship with vulnerable versions of the affected modules.
126.96.36.199 126.96.36.199 188.8.131.52
All versions of Outside In, including versions for operating systems other than Windows, are assumed to be vulnerable. Additionally, all software that includes or uses Outside In is assumed to be vulnerable. Earlier versions, including those branded with other names, are vulnerable as well.
In order to prevent exploitation of this vulnerability, iDefense recommends using file system access control lists (ACLs) to prevent reading the affected modules.
For Good Mobile Messaging Server, Good Software recommends deleting the GdFileConv.exe file and restarting the Messaging Server.

Performance golf ball fitting focuses on finding the best ball for your game and lowering your score.
Titleist offers the most precise club fitting experience in the game.
Need to customize headwear, gloves, bags, or golf balls?
Track your stats. Get video tips. Set goals for your golf game.
"Look unprofessional and shouldn't be considered"... REALLY??? This day & age??? REALLY!?!?!?
First of all, "You" have nothing to worry about because there will always be White Pro V1's and Pro V1X's for all golfers. Just because Titleist makes a different colored ball doesn't mean you have to buy/use it. Don't you "Trust your ball" just like me?
The rest of us in this discussion, are wanting the "High Optic Yellow" for specific reasons with age and weather conditions (early morning, dusk, foggy, etc.). I really like the color too! I know exactly which ball is mine b/c it stands out and I don't have to check all the other white balls. Besides, These days color is in full swing and that can attract more golfers of all ages!!! I'm not saying go crazy on the color selection, just "High Optic Yellow".
Myself and others would really like to have the option of "High Optic Yellow" in the "upper" line.
Thanks for the outstanding products Titleist!!!
Titleist makes yellow hats. I don't see the problem.
All this talk of 'you should not need it' - okay, fine, but there are sufficient profits in offering a yellow tour-level ball for other companies, even considering their lower overall sales and thus higher costs.
I can't imagine how people here who are offended by yellow balls are allowing Titleist to get away with putting the word 'Tour' on the NXT.
It's a ball, folks. It's a ball that you don't have to play. Speaking as someone who lives in the Pacific Northwest, where we have pretty dreary conditions in a large part of the year, I can say that yellow balls are MUCH easier to see on many days. There's science behind this. Science makes better balls. Science makes a better game.
Science doesn't have an ego. Let it go.
Does any know if the Pro V1 will come in a yellow cover?
I've never been a fan of colored golf balls. I guess they work for some but, not for me :-/
Fan, I can agree to disagree. I understand the desire to keep the game as pure as possible, and I agree with that. I do not like all of the colored balls just to have color in a ball. I donate all of the balls I find to First Tee and my friends and playing partners know that. You would be suprised how many people give me new colored balls that they cannot see. However, no one has given me a High-Optic Yellow ball.
I played yesterday evening, and lost sight of my white Pro-v1 ball twice, in flat light conditions. Then I switched to a high-optic yellow ball and did not have any more issues. I just do not like having to play a ball that does not enhance my game. I was lucky to get a sleeve of the test balls last fall (Prov1?). I can tell you that if I could get that ball in a high-optic yellow, I would be one happy camper! If anyone is reading, I would be more than happy to give feedback on those balls!!!!! Getting older is no fun. Enjoy the fairways and greens!
Agreeing with Greg. My biggest mistake was getting my wife pink balls last year when she decided to give up her widowhood and join me outside. In dim light it is darn near impossible to find in deep rough (...and where else would a new golfer be??).
But no question on the utility of the optic yellow. I have a box of ProV1x balls I save when I play with my foursome where everyone else is half my age. By myself or with kids my own age, I use optic. And we spend too much time looking for their white balls.
you may think yellow balls may look unprofessional but i have seen them on the pga i think if a person loves the action of pro v1 or prov 1x and its his or her favorite ball they should not have to switch because their eye site going bad i do not need yellow right now myself but i tried dt solo optic yellow the ball was easyer to see however i love the pro v1 x better for me if i did need optic yellow i would hope titleist would make them for my favorite ball
Fair enough Don O maybe I was being a little harsh and I want to apologise if I offended anyone I didn't mean to do that and having both options would be that bad, everyone then gets thier choice
titleist fan 1 Fair enough Don O maybe I was being a little harsh and I want to apologise if I offended anyone I didn't mean to do that and having both options would be that bad, everyone then gets thier choice
I ment to say wouldn't be a bad idea.
I know a few people that like the yellow golf balls ... personally I can't follow them as well, probably because I'm used to looking for the white golf ball. A couple of golf buddies have switched to another ball because yellow Pro V1's aren't (readily) available. Not sure it is a big issue, but I know it would make a few people happy here :)
My brother is a Diabetic and as a result his eye sight is fading and he literally cannot watch his ball flight most of the time because the white ball blends in So he had started using the srxn Zstar ball so he could better find it when I am not there to help him. For people like this I would say that Yellow Prov's are a great idea
would love to see titleist come out with a yellow pro V 1 !!!!!!
I use the Yellow Dt Solo's Im 15 Freshman when im a Senior In High School im going to be using the Pro v1's wish they made them yellow it would be awesome
You have to realize they don't want you to find all your balls for a reason!!!! Make business sense??

This screen grab taken from video from highway operator Central Nippon Expressway Company Limited and received via Jiji Press on December 2, 2012 shows a passenger vehicle (L) stopping in front of the collapsed roof inside the highway tunnel on December 2 in Koshu, Yamanashi prefecture, some 80 kms (50 miles) west of Tokyo. At least seven people were trapped inside a highway tunnel in Japan after it collapsed, setting a car ablaze and raising fears of another cave-in that forced a halt to rescue efforts. Two vehicles were crushed in the original collapse and one other was set ablaze when large concrete ceiling panels fell in inside one of Japan's longest motorway tunnels at nearly five kilometres long.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Are there suppository options for anti-emetics? My dog has nausea associated with cancer and refuses food. I was hoping options like compazine (in suppository form) are available for canine use. Oral medications are vomited up.
Lili Duda, VMD, Section Editor of the OncoLink Veterinary Oncology Menu, responds:
Sometimes, when one of our veterinary cancer patients cannot tolerate oral medications, but is otherwise okay to be at home, we will prescribe subcutaneously injectable medicines. Either we will instruct the owner on how to do this, or if it is a once-daily medication, the patient can have a brief visit at the veterinary hospital. For chemotherapy-induced nausea, we prefer a group of drugs called 5-HT3 (serotonin) antagonists which are more specific for this type of nausea. We use dolasetron, or a newly available once-a-day medication called Cerenia that is designed specifically for canine patients, which is less expensive than dolasetron.
Compazine suppositories can be used in dogs, but carries the risk of sedation and low blood pressure, especially in a patient that might be dehydrated from nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. The recommended dosage for dogs is three times a day.
Jun 4, 2013 - Cancers that develop resistance to anti-epidermal growth factor receptor treatments often have amplification of the MET gene, which can be targeted by drugs to overcome resistance, according to a study published online June 2 in Cancer Discovery.

Spill your guts with the how and why.
What is the monetary value of each vowel...
This is exactly why I married to get hired, and not hired then married.
You have enough sense to get one of the coolest/individual home ovens out there, so I am sure you would do just fine on your own
The last is useless as a question for an interview, although a good one for a written test. My answer would be, "Here in Austin?", and then I would tell him what they cost in relation to his original three.1. So the cover can't fall in.2. Do you want the book or do you want the ad?3. 10 times more than there need to be.
I am with Meatballs, ask me questions relevant to the job, or expect to be embarrassed and then I leave.
Think you hit a nerve with this one?
If asked that question at a job interview I would walk out the door.
Don't insult highly trained professionals with parlor games, I know, I am one.
Oh yea, by the way, many candies are manufactured using methods used in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry, I could exactly explain how they are manufactured, and why those mehtods are used. What would you say then?

Compare VersionsBPM Vendor Listing
updated Sep 8, 2014 3:10 pm | 18,269 views
Revision as of 05:20, 16 February 2012How to Evaluate BPM VendorsThe process for evaluation of a BPM (Business Process Management) software package begins after realization that business processes in an business enterprise are required to be made more efficient by bringing in adequate process control with imperative auditing facility, management information and reporting systems. This is also achieved by improving upon information flows, work flows and communication among the interrelated sub systems in business organization. The process for evaluation of a BPM starts with the Business case study by documenting the exact requirements for management and control of business processes normally compiled by top level management with feedback from all levels of management organization. Usually the BPM encapsulates the processes to improve upon efficiency of human resource as well as synchronization and integration of disparate information systems in order to evolve efficient decision support systems. After the Business case study is ready, a RFP (Request for Proposal) document is prepared by collaborative efforts of an evaluation team usually including key stakeholders, Enterprise Architects, key representatives of all levels of management, MIS department and IT heads. The key objective of an RFP is to provide to a selected group of qualified BPM system suppliers the requisite information about functional and technical requirements in areas such as business activity monitoring, business process modeling, document management and also, requirement of streamlining business processes and provisions for efficient informed decision-oriented reporting and management systems. The RFPs are dispatched to the selected BPM system vendors, and responses from the BPM system vendors are analyzed by the evaluation team. Demonstration of the BPM systems from the selected BPM system vendors are held and evaluated. Discussions on implementation, training of users and flexibility of the BPM system considering the futuristic business management take place between the top level management and the short-listed BPM system vendors. ROI (Return On Investment) for the BPM system is also worked out collectively by finance, the organization's IT department and top management together. Finally after negotiation and deciding upon the appropriate BMP package, the schedule for the BPM package implementation and training of users is worked out. Tips for Business AnalystOne of the key roles of a Business Analyst is to investigate, analyze, define and recommend solutions pertaining to improvement in the business processes in a business enterprise. The recommended solutions as offered by a Business Analyst, after due investigation and analysis, usually may include modifications in business processes and business policies, pointers to business opportunities and also, appropriate use of information technology in managing business problems or in order to make business processes more efficient. In light of the above description, a Business Analyst has also a key role in assisting a business enterprise to select an appropriate BPM solution. Some of the important guidelines for a Business Analyst to be a key candidate in the selection process of an appropriate BPM solution are listed as follows:- 1) A business analyst should communicate with key representatives of all levels of management, MIS, IT heads and liaise among key stakeholders to chart out an initial BPM solution requirement plan. The requirement plan should be properly documented. It should preferably begin with the rationality or justification behind the need of a BPM solution along with notes specifying explicitly what benefits this particular BPM solution could offer the business. 2) Collaboratively with MIS, the organization's IT department and with inputs from all other departments (such as finance, HR, Sales and Marketing) that are participants in the business process, a business analyst should work out necessary functional and technical requirements in areas such as business activity monitoring, business process modeling and document management. 3) A business analyst is needed to be meticulous in collecting the business process requirements, and also be capable of interpreting or conveying these requirements to the technology solution providers or the technology implementers. In other words, a business analyst should work diligently to understand the appropriate requirements to streamline business processes, putting forward an efficient decision-oriented reporting and management system as well as one that should have the ability to identify the technology solutions that could fulfill these goals. 4) In the context of BPM solution selection, some typical tasks of a business analyst may include:- a) determining requirement of the process and subsequently designing an integrated process model from a business perspective, b) undertaking an analysis on series of tasks involved in accomplishment of technology implementation, c) ascertaining costs involved in each milestone as well as the need for and availability of resources d) preparing complete definition of business processes and an integrated process framework facilitating technology solution selection and, subsequently, acting as a reference point for the project management team for implementation.
