SEC401: Security Essentials Bootcamp Style
Thu, December 12 - Tue, December 17, 2013
- Contents | Additional Info
- Instructor: Seth Misenar
- 46 CPEs
- Laptop Required
SEC401 provides an excellent overview of security fundamentals delivered by experienced industry professionals.
Excellent material for security professionals wanting a deeper level of knowledge on how to implement security policies, procedures, and defensive mechanisms in an organization.
It seems wherever you turn organizations are being broken into and the fundamental question that everyone wants to know is Why? Why do some organizations get broken into and others do not. SEC401 Security Essentials is focused on teaching you the right things that need to be done to keep an organization secure. Organizations are spending millions of dollars on security and are still compromised. The problem is they are doing good things but not the right things. Good things will lay a solid foundation but the right things will stop your organization from being headline news in the Wall Street Journal. SEC401's focus is to teach individuals the essential skills and techniques needed to protect and secure an organization's critical information assets and business systems. We also understand that security is a journey and not a destination. Therefore we will teach you how to build a security roadmap that can scale today and into the future. When you leave our training we promise that you will be given techniques that you can implement today and tomorrow to keep your organization at the cutting edge of cyber security. Most importantly, your organization will be secure.
With the APT (advanced persistent threat) organizations are going to be targeted. Whether the attacker is successful penetrating an organization's network depends on how well they are at the defense. While defending against attacks is an ongoing challenge with new threats emerging all of the time, including the next generation of threats, organizations need to understand what works in cyber security. What has worked and will always work is taking a risk-based approach to cyber defense. Before your organization spends a dollar of its IT budget or allocates any resources or time on anything in the name of cyber security, three questions must be answered:
1. What is the risk?
2. Is it the highest priority risk?
3. Is it the most cost-effective way of reducing the risk?
Security is all about making sure you are focusing on the right areas of defense. By attending SEC401 you will learn the language and underlying theory of computer security. Since all jobs today require an understanding of security, this course will help you understand why security is important and how it applies to your job. In addition, you will gain the essential, up-to-the-minute knowledge and skills required for effective security if you are given the responsibility for securing systems and/or organizations. This course meets both of the key promises SANS makes to our students: (1) You will gain up-to-the-minute knowledge you can put into practice immediately upon returning to work; and, (2) You will be taught by the best security instructors in the industry.

Course Syllabus
SEC401.1: Networking Concepts
Seth Misenar
Thu Dec 12th, 2013
A key way attackers gain access to a company's resources is through a network connected to the Internet. A company wants to try to prevent as many attacks as possible; but in cases where it cannot prevent an attack, it must detect it in a timely manner. Therefore, an understanding of how networks and the related protocols like TCP/IP work is critical to being able to analyze network traffic and determine hostile traffic. It is just as important to know how to protect against these attacks using devices such as routers and firewalls. These essentials, and more, will be covered to provide a firm foundation for the consecutive days training.

Additional Information
Laptop Required
Security 401: SANS Security Essentials courses consist of instruction and hands-on sessions. The lab sessions are designed to allow students to utilize the knowledge gained throughout the course in an instructor-led environment. Students will have the opportunity to install, configure, and use the tools and techniques that they have learned.
NOTE: Do not bring a regular production laptop for this class! When installing software, there is always a chance of breaking something else on the system. Students should assume that all data could be lost.
NOTE: It is critical that students have administrator access to the operating system and all security software installed. Changes need to be made to personal firewalls and other host-based software in order for the labs to work.
NOTE: Anti-virus software will need to be disabled in order to install some of the tools.
NOTE: A DVD player is required to install the tools that will be provided in class.
Students attending this course are required to bring their own laptops that are properly configured. There is not enough time in class to help you install your laptop. Please note that your laptop must be properly installed and configured before you come to class. Students are also required to test their systems (as described below) prior to coming to class.
The students must bring a laptop with Windows 7 installed (the specific version does not matter). The recommended configuration is Windows 7 as the host operating system running BackTrack as a virtual machine with VMWare Player. The student can use a Mac or Linux system with a different virtual machine product running both Windows and BackTrack in virtual machines, but the specific details for setting it up are left to the student.
The student MUST also download/install VMWare Player and BackTrack 5 R3 prior to coming to class. The attached SEC401 Installation Guide will provide step by step instructions on how to install your system.
In summary, before you arrive at the conference you should:
- Confirm that Windows 7 is installed and working
- Download and install VMWare Player and BackTrack 5 R3 using the SEC401 Installation Guide
- Confirm that you can start up Back Track and run a program
- Download the Introduction to Linux and Windows 7 tutorial
It is critical that you work through the documents before class so that you arrive with a properly configured laptop and a base understanding of Windows and Linux.
By properly preparing, we know that you will have a knowledge rich and enjoyable lab experience.

Author Statement
One of the things I love to hear from students after teaching Security 401 is "I have worked in security for many years and after taking this course I realized how much I did not know." With the latest version of Security Essentials and the Bootcamp, we have really captured the critical aspects of security and enhanced those topics with examples to drive home the key points. After attending Security 401, I am confident you will walk away with solutions to problems you have had for a while plus solutions to problems you did not even know you had.

Karl Lagerfeld Runway Show Features Pregnant Model in Neoprene Gown
PARIS – Karl Lagerfeld, always up to some hi jinx, closed his fall 2014 haute couture show with a pregnant model. She wore a Baroque-inspired wedding gown of neoprene.
"I love pregnant women," Mr. Lagerfeld said after the show at the Grand Palais on Tuesday., wearing his uniform of powder-gray hair and driving gloves. "They're very noble."
No pillows for Chanel – the model, Ashleigh Good, was actually pregnant. That bump can't be faked, Mr. Lagerfeld said, because only a truly pregnant woman moves in a pregnant way.

The THC content in this oil isn't significant enough to produce any psychotropic effect. Our oils are 100% made in the USA and don't contain any THC. Many people might come across industrial hemp oil when searching for cannabidiol (CBD) oil to purchase.
Hence, CBD Capsule wholesalers in Marydel need to do their homework and get to know what exactly are their clients searching for. There are numerous fake CBD oil Capsule wholesalers in the United States, Canada, and the UK for that matter. More than 90% of wholesalers offer low-quality oils with a purity levels.

Benefits Of CBD Capsules
Cannabis is very good for alleviating the pain and for improving the quality of life of terminally ill patients. The only problem is that smoking the leaves or the flowers may have negative consequences for the lungs. Some people have a sensitive respiratory system, thus not being able to enjoy the benefits of smoking cannabis. These people have to take CBD Capsules instead of smoking.
The main benefit of pills is their safety. These Capsules dissolve only in the stomach, thus leaving the respiratory system unaffected. Since there so smoke, there's no risk of lung or throat cancer. This is very important, as some patients are already at risk of developing such conditions, so they can't smoke a joint to make their pain fade away.
The fixed dosage is another benefit of CBD Capsules. When you swallow pills, you always know exactly what amount of the active substance you ingest. Of course, this statement is valid only in case of standardized products. This is why it is very important to choose your brands and your suppliers very carefully. Pills made with standardized extracts are always the same. You're going to know at any given time how much CBD or THC you get. This is the best method to avoid overdoses. Besides, by controlling the amount of CBD, you can always enjoy a predictable and steady result. Each time you take your Capsules, your body is going to react the same way, so you'll know exactly when the relief sensation is going to appear.
The other advantage of pills is that they are odorless. There are situations in which you can't smoke cannabis in your home, as the smell would be inacceptable. In addition, if you need your CBD dose while visiting friends or traveling, you can imagine smoking would be impossible. Pills are extremely convenient from this point of view, as they can be easily swallowed without anyone else realizing what you do. You can have the peace of mind that you'll always be able to get your needed CBD fix, wherever you may be. Besides, some people hate the smell of smoked cannabis, so they would rather find an odorless alternative to get their medical CBD.
Last but not least, CBD Capsules don't contain THC, which is present in marijuana leaves and flowers. When smoking cannabis, you inhale both CBD and THC, and this may cause various side effects that aren't always desirable. Pills contain only CBD, the non-psychoactive cannabinoid which is going to bring you the expected relief without hallucinations or other nasty side effects. Beware though, some of these pills may contain quite enough THC to cause a high. This is why you should always proceed with great caution when taking them. As a matter of fact, it's a very good idea to discuss with your doctor about your intention of taking CBD Capsules. This is how you can rest assured you'll have some quick medical help, should you experience adverse reactions or side effects that might endanger your life. Although you may be able to find these pills on the market, you shouldn't medicate yourself unless your physician gives you approval. Cannabis products are usually safe, but they may cause unpredictable reactions in some people. You may experience paranoia, confusion, sleepiness, drowsiness, lack of energy, sadness and even depression. As these symptoms can be quite severe, you shouldn't underestimate their effects. This is why you should inform your doctor about your intention of trying cannabis to alleviate your pain issues.
CBD is already a well-established remedy that can be used for medical purposes. Available in many forms, it seems to be fairly easy to find. However, if you intend to try it, you should consider the benefits of CBD sodftgels and use this form rather than smoking or vaporizing. Improving your quality of life is a desirable thing to do, but it shouldn't be achieved on the expense of your overall health and well-being. You need to protect your lungs and your whole respiratory system. This is why you should choose pills over smoking. Besides, thanks to the exact dosage and to their other benefits, pills are definitely the best CBD form available today.

CBD Capsules Pills Benefits You Need To Learn About
With the topic of whether cannabis should be legalized or not, a lot of interest has been shown on two compounds found in cannabis - the THC compound and the Cannabidiol compound that is better known as the CBD compound. Although these two compounds come from the same plant, their interaction and effects on the body differ quite a lot. As such, ideally they should not be treated as equals but rather considered on their individual merits. However, this has not been the case.
The main difference between THC and CBD is how they interact with our brain receptors. The THC compound has a high affinity to CB1 receptor, yielding a variety of effects such as anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects. However, they also yield a psychoactive effect, which creates the high effects. The psychoactive properties of THC reduce the overall health benefits accrued from the compounds.
On the other hand, the CBD compounds have a very low affinity for CB1 receptors. Instead, CBD has a high affinity to CB2 receptors thus the compounds interacts differently with our brains, yielding far more benefits whilst negating and keeping any psychoactive properties to a minimum. These properties form the foundation of the benefits that CBD Capsules pill consumer get.
Herein we will take an in-depth look at some of the health benefits you get from consuming CBD as well as some of the benefits that you derive from specifically consuming CBD in the of CBD Capsules pills. The benefits of CBD Capsules pills are inextricably linked with the benefits of the CBD compounds. As such, is it only right to have a thorough understanding of what you get from the CBD compound as well as what makes these pills a far better mode of CBD consumption.
The Variety Of Benefits We Get From CBD Oil Consumption
#1. Anti-Oxidant Properties - It is well documented that fruits bear ample supply of anti-oxidants in the form of Vitamin C. New research centered on the effects of CBD as anti-oxidant molecules reveal that the CBD is a powerful anti-oxidant. Additionally, various publish research article indicate that in most cases, CBD molecules are non-toxic for human consumption.
Anti-oxidants molecules are molecules that inhibit the oxidation process. Oxidation is a reaction which yields free-radicals that cause a chain reaction with stored food particles, leading to the deterioration of the food particles as well as body cells. Therefore, CBD can be used to maintain proper health of cells, promoting wholesome body health.
#2. Alleviation/Treatment Of Depression And Anxiety - It should be noted that CBD and THC work in opposite directions. While the THC compounds increase psychoactivity, the CBD compounds work to counteract psychoactivity. This property of CBD has been shown to help in treating depression as well as anxiety. Additionally, the CBD compound is vastly effective in countering the degradation of anandamide, a compound in our bodies that has been associated with feeling less anxious. Therefore, CBD works perfectly to not only counteract excess psychoactivity that may cause depression and anxiety but also protects the compounds that are responsible for maintaining that feel-good feeling.
#3. Reducing And Negating Cigarette Addition - In a study conducted on the ability of CBD to reduce dependency on cigarettes, 24 smokers were chosen with a group being given an inhaler with CBD molecules whilst the control group were given the placebo inhaler. The group that used the inhaler containing CBD experienced a reduction in the amount of cigarettes consumed by as much as forty percent whilst the others experienced no changes. This evidence points towards CBD being capable of reducing cigarette-based nicotine, thus helping smokers to withdraw from smoking.
However, these are not the only benefits that you can accrue from the CBD. Being a Polypharmacological (which means that CBD interacts with various parts of our bodies and yields a variety of effects), the compound is more than capable of treating a variety of ailments. Some of them include cancer, motor disorder, epileptic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, chronic pain, neuropathic pain, lupus, and Parkinson's disease.
The Various Benefits Of Consuming CBD in The Form Of CBD Capsules Pills
#1. No odor - Whilst CBD comes in a variety of forms and products, only the Capsules option offers low to near zero odor emission. The CBD comes in a as Capsules capsules are entirely self-contained. This means that there is no emission of smells whatsoever, thus making it very easy for individuals with smell sensitivity to consume CBD.
#2. Capsules Are Enteric-Coated - The majority of the pills that are commercially available are enteric-coated. The enteric coating ensures that there is a timely release of CBD in the intestines, whilst negating the exposure of the CBD consumed to the gastric acids. This ensure the integrity of the CBD ultimately absorbed by the body.
#3. Ease Of Storage - Another benefit of these pills is the ease of storage. Unlike CBD oils or other products that are a tad difficult to carry with you, the pills are very easy to carry. The Capsules pills are highly portable since they can be stored in a variety of environments, whilst still maintaining the integrity of the CBD concentrate in the pills. Ease of storage also means that they are very easy to transport. They are not bulky in any way and more often than not, they consume the least amount of space of any CBD product in the market.
Therefore, with the CBD Capsules pills, consumer get a product is safe, easy to carry with them and considerably inexpensive.

As everyone is waking up to the wide world of marijuana and its products, everyone is finding out just how complicated cannabis is. As it turns out, there are at least 80 different types of cannabinoids alone, and 100 in cannabis and CBD hemp put together. CBD to THC ratios is from 20 to 1 up to 30 to 1; meaning the plant can contain CBD 20 percent and 0.6 percent THC.
Now, what the percentages and ratios mean will differ based upon individual states. In Colorado, those types of ratios are what make up industrial hemp, while other states define 1 percent as industrial hemp. Industrial hemp is not to be confused with the plant material that makes up rope and other manufactured products. High-CBD hemp, as it is known, is different than the fiber hemp used in production. Here's where the confusion is set in motion. Fiber hemp has 1 percent to 2 percent CBD.
Full-spectrum CBD is a powerhouse because it contains terpenes and cannabinoids together. CBD itself is only one small part of the cannabinoid family. Each is able to interact well with the endocannabinoid system. As research is performed, it is coming to light that the CBD has this interaction with the body. It's important that the natural structure and power of the cannabinoids are extracted without breaking down their ability to interact in the endocannabinoid system.
Full spectrum CBD is not inexpensive. If you are searching for it, and come across a great deal, its quality is probably not great. It may mean that there is a problem with the methods used to grow it or how the full-spectrum CBD oil was pulled out of the plant.
The full spectrum CBD, which includes terpenes and cannabinoids, is best extracted using organic alcohol, specifically grape solvents because it is oil soluble. It's never good to use chemical-grade solvents, butane, or propane to extract the oil, such as denatured alcohol.
The issue is when molecular extraction is performed as well. This is too far away from the natural process, which can pull out the extremely beneficial synergies of the plant. If you see a pure crystal CBD, avoid it.
It is also possible to extract high-CBD hemp using carbon dioxide. This is part of the plant's oil soluble part that is taken out of the leaves to leave behind terpenes. This is how a pure extract is derived in order to achieve the full synergy the plant can provide.

Fun and resilient fabrics from the house of Perennial Fabrics for your Mansionly Home
Fun and resilient fabrics from the house of Perennial Fabrics for your Mansionly Home
Perennials 100% solution-dyed acrylic fabrics are backed by a no-fade guarantee valid for three years from the date of purchase (with the exception of prints, which hold a one year warranty, and Cabana™, which holds a five year warranty). The warranty does not cover color loss of natural fibers (i.e. hemp) or degradation from normal wear, stains from environmental pollution, negligence or weather soiling. Although Perennials fabrics are soil resistant, they are not stain proof. This warranty is limited to the replacement of the fabric and does not apply to labor costs or materials replacement. Additional processing applied by a third party voids our warranty.
Perennials is on a mission - a mission to invigorate the design community with fun, resilient fabrics. Since Ann Sutherland, Perennials president and founder, first searched for luxurious performance fabrics, Perennials has become an industry leader in this category, emphasizing design, color, liveability and longevity. Starting with thirty fabrics, in classic stripes and solid colors influenced by nature's colors, the company has grown its offerings to over 800 fabrics, as well as hand-woven and hand-knotted rugs, trimmings and pillows. Each 100% solution-dyed acrylic fabric, rug and trim is guaranteed against fading for three years, and will add beauty to living spaces both indoors and out for many seasons.
Since the company's inception in 1997, Perennials has been making luxury fabrics and products that stand up to life's everyday adventures without sacrificing great design. If the kids run amok, the guests spill your wine or Fido finds his new favorite spot, you need not worry. Perennials can handle the rough stuff.

New York Knicks vs. Miami Heat Game Thread 4/11/10
David Lee and the Knicks
20.1 points, 11.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists
Dwyane Wade and the Heat
26.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.6 assists
The Knicks are on a 2 game losing streak. They will look to snap their losing streak against the Heat.
The Heat are coming off of a loss to the Pistons. They look to avoid a second straight loss, as they take on the Knicks.
Key Matchup
Danilo Gallinari
Dwyane Wade
Gallinari has taken on the challenge of guarding the best player on opposing teams. He's had some success against Carmelo Anthony and Ray Allen. His 3 point shooting and ability to get to the free throw line has really helped him improve offensively.
Wade is the best guard in the Eastern Conference and one of the top 5 players in the NBA. His ability to knock down mid-range shots and drive to the basket at will is what makes him elite.

Amarantus Bioscience Announces Publication of Peer-Reviewed Data for MANF in Ischemia-Induced Neural Injury
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Amarantus Bioscience, Inc. (OTCQB: AMBS), a biotechnology company developing new treatments and diagnostics for Parkinson's disease and Traumatic Brain Injury centered on its proprietary anti-apoptosis therapeutic protein MANF, today announced that an independent peer-reviewed research paper entitled Upregulation of mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor in glial cells is associated with ischemia-induced glial activation was published in the Journal of Neuroinflammation. The research paper concludes: "These results indicate that MANF expression was up-regulated in the activated glial cells, which may contribute to the mechanism of ischemia-induced neural injury." Glial cells are non-neuronal cells that maintain homeostasis, form myelin, and provide support and protection for neurons in the brain, and for neurons in other parts of the nervous system.
In this research paper, the authors describe the process by which MANF is upregulated in glial cells in response to induced cerebral ischemia. The authors identified that while MANF was consistently expressed in neurons in both the normal and ischemic cerebral cortex, MANF expression in astrocytes was down-regulated under normal conditions, whereas MANF expression in astrocytes was heavily upregulated under ischemic conditions in the cortex. This result provides further evidence to support the theory that MANF is upregulated by cells in times of stress in order to maintain cell viability.
MANF was discovered from the first of Amarantus' 88 proprietary PhenoGuard astrocyte cell lines. Astrocytes are glial cells in the brain that support neuroprotection, neurogenesis and synaptogenesis. PhenoGuard is the cell immortalization process developed by Company scientists to create immortal lines of astrocytes from various parts of the brain associated with neurodegenerative diseases. These immortal lines give the Company a competitive advantage in the search for undiscovered neurotrophic factors that address critically important biological pathways involved in human diseases. The Company believes it can discover a stable of novel MANF-like proteins using its proprietary PhenoGuard platform technology. PhenoGuard was originally developed in the Neurotrophic Factors Group at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) in Bethesda, Maryland.
About Amarantus Bioscience, Inc.
Amarantus Bioscience, Inc. is a development-stage biotechnology company founded in January 2008. The Company has a focus on developing certain biologics surrounding the intellectual property and proprietary technologies it owns to treat and/or diagnose Parkinson's disease, Traumatic Brain Injury and other human diseases. The Company owns the intellectual property rights to a therapeutic protein known as Mesencephalic-Astrocyte-derived Neurotrophic Factor ("MANF") and is developing MANF-based products as treatments for brain disorders. The Company also is a Founding Member of the Coalition for Concussion Treatment (#C4CT), a movement initiated in collaboration with Brewer Sports International seeking to raise awareness of new treatments in development for concussions and nervous-system disorders.

After missing nearly a month with an oblique problem, Smoak beat up the Arizona Summer League for a couple days, but didn't get a mention here, as when you are an elite-level 22-year old beating up on teenagers in a complex league, it just doesn't count. This does however, as last year's first-round selection picked up where he left off, raising his season averages to a fantastic .331/.450/.506. Meanwhile, in big league news, Rangers first baseman Chris Davis is 4-for-30 with 14 whiffs in his last nine games. We're just sayin'.
and Jamey Newberg:
Smoak is back. Returning from an oblique strain that cost him nearly a month, the switch-hitter rehabbed twice in Surprise, Ariz. — with the big club in town for the D-backs series and some key front office officials along for the trip — going 4-for-6 with two home runs and a triple, and upon his return to Frisco he's gone 3-for-6. As Chris Davis' struggles continue, the Smoak clock is starting to tick more loudly.

William S. Richardson School of Law featured in the Princeton Review's "Best 170 Law Schools: 2007 Edition"University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Carol Mon Lee, (808) 956-8636
William S. Richardson School of Law
HONOLULU — The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa's William S. Richardson School of Law is one of the nation's most outstanding law schools, according to The Princeton Review. The New York-based education services company features the school in the just-published 2007 edition of its "Best 170 Law Schools" (Random House/Princeton Review, Oct. 3, 2006, $22.95).
The William S. Richardson School of Law ranked second in "Best Environment for Minority Students," and sixth for the "Most Diverse Faculty."
"Best 170 Law Schools" has two-page profiles of the schools with summaries on their academics, student life, and admissions, plus ratings for their academics, selectivity, and career placement services. In the profile for the William S. Richardson School of Law, Princeton Review editors describe the school as "having a rigorous curriculum, but professors are always willing to lend a hand."
The book quotes students engaging in the school's career networking services, with one commenting, "As a 1L, I have had many opportunities to meet and talk with a variety of lawyers. For example, through the Launch-a-Lawyer program that pairs students with a lawyer in the community, I already have a volunteer job for winter break!"
In the "Survey Says…" section, The Princeton Review lists topics that UH Mānoa law students surveyed for the book most agreed about. The list includes "diverse opinions accepted in classrooms," and "abundant externship, internship, and clerkship opportunities." The Princeton Review's 80-question survey asked students about themselves, their career plans, and their school's academic, student, and campus life.
According to Robert Franek, Princeton Review VP-Publishing, "We chose schools for this book based on our high regard for their academic programs and offerings, institutional data we collect from the schools, and the candid opinions of students attending them who rate and report on their campus experiences at the schools. We are pleased to recommend the William S. Richardson School of Law to readers of our book and users of our website as one of the best institutions they could attend to earn a law school degree."
The Princeton Review does not rank the schools in the book on a single list from 1 to 170, or name one law school best overall. The book has 11 ranking lists of the top 10 law schools in various categories. The lists are posted at www.princetonreview.com.
Ten lists are based on The Princeton Review's surveys of 17,000 students attending the 170 law schools profiled in the book. Only schools that permitted The Princeton Review to survey their students were eligible for consideration for these lists. Conducted over the past three academic years, the student surveys were done primarily online. One list, "Toughest to Get Into," is based solely on institutional data. All schools were eligible for consideration for this list.
"Best 170 Law Schools" also has advice on applying to schools and funding for degrees. The book is one of 200 Princeton Review titles published by Random House. The line includes annual guides to the best business schools and medical schools, plus guides to graduate school application essays and admission exams. The Princeton Review is also known for its college and career guidebooks, test-prep courses and other education services. The company is not affiliated with Princeton University.
The William S. Richardson School of Law is an American Bar Association-accredited public law school with an enrollment of approximately 305 students with academic specialties in environmental law, international law, and Pacific-Asian legal studies.

Click here to view an animated version of this procedure.
Hysterectomy is the surgical term for the removal of the uterus. This results in the inability to become pregnant.
There are different types of surgeries, such as:
- Supracervical hysterectomy—removal of the uterus without including the cervix
- Total hysterectomy—removal of the uterus and cervix (the lower portion of the uterus leading to the vagina)
- Radical hysterectomy—removal of the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, upper part of the vagina, and the pelvic lymph nodes
- Salpingo-oophorectomy —removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes (may be combined with any of the above procedures)
Reasons for Procedure
You may have a hysterectomy if your uterus is causing health problems that cannot be treated by other means. Some reasons a woman may have a hysterectomy are to:
- Treat cancers such as uterine , endometrial, and ovarian cancers
- Remove uterine fibroids
- Treat chronic pelvic pain
- Treat heavy bleeding
Explore your options before having a hysterectomy. There are other treatments for many of these problems.
Possible Complications
If you are planning to have hysterectomy, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
- Reactions to anesthesia
- Pain
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Fatigue
- Injured pelvic organs—bowel and/or bladder
- Urinary incontinence —problems controlling your urine
- Loss of ovarian function and early menopause
- Depression
- Sexual dysfunction
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
The following may also increase the risk of complications:
- Diabetes
- Previous pelvic surgery or serious infection
- Use of certain medications
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor may do the following:
- Blood and urine tests
- Pap smear
- MRI scan of abdomen and kidneys—a test that uses magnetic waves to take a picture of structures inside the body
- CT scan of abdomen and kidneys—a test that uses radiation to take a picture of structures inside the body
- Pelvic ultrasound —a test that uses sound waves to show organs in the abdomen
- Dilation and curettage (D&C)—surgical removal of tissue from the lining of the uterus
- Endometrial biopsy—removes a sample of tissue from the lining of the uterus
You should do the following:
- Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to 1 week before the procedure.
- Arrange for a ride home and for help at home.
- Eat a light meal the night before the surgery. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight.
General anesthesia will be used. You will be asleep during the surgery.
Description of the Procedure
You may be given antibiotics just before your surgery.
Laparoscopic procedures are minimally invasive. This means that small incisions are made, rather than the large incisions that are used during open surgery. Small tools and a tiny camera are placed through the incisions to allow the surgeon to see inside and perform surgical tasks.
Similar to the above surgery, small incisions will be made in the abdominal area and tools will be inserted. Incisions will be made in the vagina to help detach the lower portion of the cervix and the uterus. The cervix and uterus will then be removed through the vaginal opening.
A hysterectomy can also be done using robotic technology. Like the laparoscopic procedures, tools are placed through small incisions in the abdominal area. The doctor, though, sits at a console and views the organs via a monitor that displays a 3D image. The surgery is done using a joystick-like device to control the tools.
Immediately After Procedure
You will be given IV fluids and medications.
How Long Will It Take?
1-3 hours—although it may take longer
Will It Hurt?
You will not have pain during the surgery because of the anesthesia. During your recovery time, you will be given pain medication.
Average Hospital Stay
You may be able to leave the hospital on the same day or the next day. You will stay longer if you have complications.
Post-procedure Care
While you are recovering at the hospital, you may receive the following care:
- On the first night, the nurse will help you sit up and walk.
- During the next morning, the IV will be removed if you are eating and drinking well.
- You may need to wear special stockings or boots to help prevent blood clots.
- You may have a Foley catheter for a short time to help you urinate.
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection such as:
- Washing their hands
- Wearing gloves or masks
- Keeping your incisions covered
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chances of infection such as:
- Washing your hands often and reminding visitors and healthcare providers to do the same
- Reminding your healthcare providers to wear gloves or masks
- Not allowing others to touch your incisions
When at home, eat well-balanced diet that includes fruits and vegetables.
Note: If the doctor has not removed your cervix, you will need to continue to have Pap smears to check for cervical cancer.
Call Your Doctor
After you leave the hospital, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, leakage, or any discharge from the incision sites
- Nausea and/or vomiting
- Lightheadedness
- Cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain
- Heavy bleeding
- Pain that you cannot control with the medications you have been given
- Pain, burning, urgency or frequency of urination, or persistent bleeding in the urine
- Swelling, redness, or pain in your leg
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

Since this traffic event thing has the feature of being able to warn drivers in the area, is it acceptable to use it for events which may have traffic impacts, but do not have closures, and are large enough in scale that you can't put any closures which make sense into Waze anyway?
I'm thinking (too late for this year) specifically of large running/walking events (biking events would quality too) like the Hood to Coast Relay. It is 198 miles long, 12,600 runners and 3,600 volunteers, using about 3,000 support vehicles. It runs primarily along US-26 from Mt. Hood into Portland, and then on US-30 from Portland to the coast, and a little bit of US-101 on the coast.
Oregon DOT puts out a warning to drivers each year. But again, there's no closures. Just awareness that there are some lane closures and possibly some other traffic impacts in congested areas.
Is this kind of thing valid for a Mega Event just from a "warning" standpoint?

Duties of Officials
This page will be segmented when it gets too long. Add information by clicking on "edit" above. Items should begin with term (if available) and year together with a letter to allow for distinguishing subsequent documents in the same year and term. The designation should be in bold. Thus an entry will appear as H1285 A:. Text thereafter should indicate what the document concerns. The link to the document should be a copied and pasted full web address (http:// . . .) surrounded by single brackets ( [ ] ). Leave a line between entries. The 25-year segments begin with a vertical bar and end with a vertical bar minus. Avoid other more complex codes. If you want to append a translation, provide a completely unique address surrounded by double brackets: Duties H1275 A Tr. Such an address indicates sector and year, the A indicates it is the first document entered for that year and term, the Tr indicates it is a translation. That will constitute a unique address. DO NOT attempt to re-order documents within a term to achieve a perfect chronology, since it will invalidate other references to re-named documents.

Tuteleye pleaded that he was sheriff of Lincolnshire, and Moigne was his bailiff of Beltisloe hundred for the collection of money owed to the exchequer and for other duties. Because Moigne was in arrear by 63s for exchequer money on his account, Tuteleye arrested him. Moigne asserted that he held the bailiwick for a certain farm, half due at Michaelmas and half due at Easter; Tuteleye had asked him to pay the farm for the Easter term to come and when he did not pay, the sheriff imprisoned him thus unjustly. No verdict. [10]

LAS VEGAS — Laughing tourists were either cynical or confused about whether a man was really suffering a medical episode amid the "doctor," "nurses" and health warnings at the Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas, a restaurant owner said Wednesday.
"It was no joke," said Jon Basso, who promotes himself "Doctor Jon," his scantily-clad waitresses as nurses and customers as patients.
Basso said he could tell right away the man in his 40s eating a Triple Bypass burger was having trouble. He was sweating, shaking and could barely talk.
Paramedics were called Saturday night, fire spokesman Tim Szymanski said, and the man was hospitalized. His name and information about his condition weren't made public.

Giggles can be heard on the soundtrack of amateur video showing the man on a stretcher being wheeled out of the restaurant where patrons pass an antique ambulance at the door and a sign: "Caution! This establishment is bad for your health."
Eaters are given surgical gowns as they choose from a calorically extravagant menu offering "Bypass" burgers, "Flatliner" fries, buttermilk shakes and free meals to folks over 350 pounds.
Basso said he hopes the man is OK, and added that he felt bad for him because tourists treated his misfortune like a joke.
"We would never pull a stunt like that," he said.

Forget about the Summer Olympics. Those with an appetite for nail-biting competition need look no farther than the blocks surrounding 7th St. and Marquette Av. S. in downtown Minneapolis. Starting most weekdays at about 10 minutes before the magic hour of 9 a.m., a parade of brightly painted food trucks engage in a highly choreographed race along the area's grid of traffic-clogged one-way streets. The prize? A parking space.
The competition is fierce. Arrive even as little as a minute or two too early, and risk a substantial fine and the loss of that coveted spot. Arrive too late, and miss a potentially lucrative berth in what has become downtown's unofficial outdoor food court.
A 20-foot vehicle affectionately known as "Big Red" is often in the mix. It belongs to Lisa Carlson and Carrie Summer. When these two pedigreed chefs started cooking in a cramped trailer in 2008, there was just one other licensed food truck operating in Minneapolis. Today there are dozens, and surely more are on the way. All owe a debt to Carlson and Summer and the pioneering venture they call Chef Shack.
"Before Minneapolis became known -- or even functioned -- as a great street-food city, Chef Shack was dishing doughnuts," said John T. Edge in an interview. He's the author of "The Food Truck Cookbook," an insightful, coast-to-coast chronicle of the nation's culinary movement of the moment. "They're as good as any truck out there. They're not surfing trends, they're skewing their own way and making highly personal food. That's why their cooking shines bright. I admire the heck out of them."
Carlson is a Brooklyn Center native, and Summer grew up in Rochester. Both spent time working for and learning from an impressive constellation of starry chefs in New York, San Francisco and London, including Gray Kunz, Daniel Humm, Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Masaharu Morimoto.
They've been a couple for 11 years, and naturally, the two 44-year-olds met in a kitchen, when Carlson, who was running an Uptown Minneapolis restaurant, hired Summer. Turns out they work well together, in a finish-each-other's sentence kind of way, and their slightly overlapping skill sets -- Carlson is Chef Shack's chef du cuisine, and Summer, the company motorhead, handles pastry and manages the business -- are more than complementary. "Between the two of us, we divide and conquer," said Carlson with a laugh.
No kidding. Chef Shack was born at the Mill City Farmers Market. It started with a suggestion from their boss and one of the market's driving forces, Spoonriver owner Brenda Langton. Tapping into her lifelong obsession with doughnuts, Summer immersed herself in research, bought a mini-doughnut machine from Lil' Orbits in Plymouth (she borrowed the money from Carlson) and, through a tenacious trial-and-error period, zeroed in on an all-organic formula for what became an instant Chef Shack trademark: diminutive, puffy, melt-in-your-mouth doughnuts, their golden exteriors twinkling with sugar and a nose-tickling blend of cardamom, ginger and nutmeg. It is impossible to eat just one; blindly consuming a fist-size bag is deceptively easy.
They called their stand Urban Donut -- in a counter-programming move, Carlson contributed a cool, refreshing gazpacho -- and it's not an exaggeration to note that word spread like wildfire (it didn't hurt that the Chef Shack-ers have been social media savants from the get-go). When the next spring arrived, they traded up to a trailer that they christened Chef Shack. With a newly expanded menu, they were off and running, literally.
"At one point, almost the entire cooler at Spoonriver was full with containers labeled 'Chef Shack,'" said Carlson. "Brenda came in and said, 'I think it's time you got your own kitchen.'"
Six years, countless 17-hour days and two more vehicles later (including an adorable 1970 International -- the 1966 Mustang GT convertible of the food-truck set), Summer estimates that she's made over a million doughnuts. She orders her specially formulated, certified organic doughnut mix in 50-pound bags, 20 bags at a time.
"I never tire of making doughnuts," said Summer. "When I'm 70, I can see myself driving the truck around, making a living making doughnuts."
With downtown street-food licensing a few years into the future, at least in downtown Minneapolis, Summer and Carlson grew their business -- and eventually left the security of their full-time jobs -- by tapping into a familiar audience, this time at the Kingfield Farmers Market. Chef Shack wasn't an original Kingfield vendor, but they quickly became a hugely influential one.
"By the time they came along, we were already starting to show some real growth and we were feeling good about it," said board chair David Brauer. "We had other vendors in the past who had been draws, but we've never had a draw like them. They were the linchpin to taking us to the next level."
In 2011, after 10 years at 43rd and Nicollet, Kingfield turned its attention westward, adding a companion market at 49th and Chowen in the Fulton neighborhood, and Chef Shack was a key player from the get-go. "The fact that they said 'yes' did a lot to reassure us as we took that major step into a brand-new venture," Brauer said.Cooking outside the box
The expertise, discipline and ingredient-driven mentality that is part and parcel of the duo's fine-dining background is what sets Chef Shack apart from the vast majority of their food truck brethren. That, along with an allergy to clichs and gimmicks, as well as an obsessive attention to detail that routinely manifests itself in complex flavor profiles, no simple feat while also emphasizing portability, affordability and speed.
After doughnuts, the truck's bestseller is a truly remarkable burger of lean, flavorful, pasture-raised bison. It's an insanely delicious formula: a medium-rare patty brushed with a beef demi-glace and dressed with lettuce, tomato, a runny egg and a slab of Cheddar or pepperjack cheese, all inside a tender toasted brioche bun. In the past week, Carlson has been subbing out the egg and cheese for a street food rarity: seared foie gras, its blatant richness undercut by a swipe of tart yuzu marmalade.
"We want to give a little luxury to people on the street," said Summer.
There's more. Braised beef tongue is the foundation for a spectacular taco. Pulled pork, cooked low and slow until the meat teeters towards mouth-melting consistency, is the centerpiece of an awe-inspiring plate of nachos. Every bite of a tempura-battered soft-shell crab sandwich transports taste buds directly to the beach.
In the off season, the couple travel. Extensively. "That's how Chef Shack got started," said Summer. "When we're traveling, we experience all this incredible street food, and we wanted to bring those flavors here. Life happens on the street."
One of many forays into Southeast Asia inspired another simple but not simplistic sandwich: pork loaf perfumed with ginger, garlic, cilantro and lemongrass. Each slice is seared on the grill until it's tantalizingly caramelized, then topped by a sweet-sour face-off between a coconut-ginger sauce and a crunchy slaw of pickled purple cabbage.
There's a reason why vegetarians and vegans flock to Chef Shack. A taco of pured sweet potatoes, black beans and cilantro is splashed with Carlson's riff on salsa, usually bursting with tomatoes, corn, peppers, tomatillos, or all of the above. A flavor-packed watermelon gazpacho impresses for its hot-off-the-farm vibrancy. Carlson has a knack for colorful, hyper-seasonal salads, deftly combining an ever-fluid blend of just-picked greens, roasted and pickled vegetables, tender grains and inventive vinaigrettes. And Summer's carefully executed ice creams stand up to the work of any local premium maker.Credit where credit is due
A safe assumption is that new food trucks keep popping up because Carlson and Summer make it look easy. "People see our success and assume that it will happen to them, but there are a lot of challenges that go on behind closed doors," said Summer. "The first advice that we give anyone who asks is, 'Don't quit your day job.'"
Easy is about the last word that describes this particular corner of the hospitality industry. Put aside the difficulties of cautiously nurturing a business on a pay-as-you-go basis, since banks weren't interested ("They were like, 'Absolutely not,'" said Carlson). Ignore cooking with four other people in a hot 7-by-10-foot Chevy van. Forget about navigating undependable weather, or predicting the demands and the size of a crowd, or dealing with flat tires and other frequent mechanical breakdowns. All are a cakewalk, relatively speaking.
"The biggest and most exhausting challenge is having to put your whole show on the road," said Carlson. "It's setting up a restaurant and then taking it down, every day."
Still, from the outside peering in, the herculean effort doesn't show. What does come across is the couple's innate generosity. For starters, Carlson and Summer use their purchasing power to support their fellow farmers-market vendors. "They're also big boosters of the food truck scene, of the people that others might think of as competitors," said Brauer. "The fact that they're willing to promote their 'competitors' is another mark of class for them."
Erica Strait concurs. After working for Chef Shack, she launched Foxy Falafel, first as a farmers market stand, and later as a food truck. Her bricks-and-mortar restaurant of the same name opened this month in St. Paul.
"They're like my big sisters," said Strait. "They have always been there for me; they always have their eyeballs out for me. It's unconditional support. They don't want anything back. They're just excited to see you become successful."Booming business
The growth continues. After several years in a shared commercial facility, Carlson and Summer and their 12 employees moved into their own spacious, well-equipped commissary kitchen in May in south Minneapolis. Even bigger news: The couple are opening a casual, weekend-only bistro this fall in Bay City, Wis., a sleepy Lake Pepin town just south of Red Wing, Minn.
Summer describes their plans for Chef Shack at Bay City as "very approachable bistro food, and an expression of who we are," she said. "I'm coining the phrase, 'Wild-grown heritage cookery from the valley.'"
Rest assured, urban Chef Shack lovers, it's business as usual in the city. The distinctive red trucks will keep vying for those premium parking spots, and Carlson and Summer will continue feeding their loyal customers and welcoming new food truckers into the fold.
"I love it when another chef in town gets a truck, and we have to step it up even more," said Carlson. "That's good for everyone."

However, generic hardware in the VM is good also for the newbies because they don't have to worry about drivers. So it can be a good thing.I always stick with defaults unless I know why I want to change something. It appears my video drivers are some sort of generic and slow type, and my sound doesn't work in the Ubuntu install I'm using, but I don't really care about that stuff, either. I would if I were going to do a real Linux install, of course.
Tarx wrote:Flying Fox wrote:But we can still build a VM image with a stripped down Linux distro. Then all they have to do is to grab the image, install the SMP client and run.
Yup, that would good - we would need someone to do that, and find a place to host it.

Flying Fox wrote:Ragnar Dan wrote:Edit: Oh yeah, Tarx: I also used the default VMware ethernet setting of bridged instead of NAT. Seems to work fine, though I haven't really read what the differences are.
For most people it doesn't really make any difference.
For the curious, basically bridged means the VM acquires an IP pretty much like the host machine. So if you are behind your own router already and have 2 machines on the LAN, the VM behaves like a 3rd and will get a different IP in the same subnet (example: your router is 192.168.0.1/24 with 2 other machines 192.168.0.2/24 and 192.168.0.3/24, the VM may become 192.168.0.4/24).
In NAT mode, your host machine behaves like a router and the VM(s) that you have set to this mode will be behind it. That's why VMware installs at least 2 more network connections by default. (from last example: router + 2 other machines, let's say 192.168.0.2/24 is the host machine, if you do ipconfig on that host, you would see at least another one with something like 192.168.10.1/24 [a new subnet because of the 24-bit netmask], and your VM will have an IP like 192.168.10.2/24)
It doesn't matter because the VM in either configuration can access the net, where the NAT mode will be one more hop, so it may be a tiny bit slower. NAT mode is usually for people who want to test a network setup of VMs in its own subnet. I suggest the default of bridged, especially if you have an internal DHCP server (usually a router).

I'm working on getting my folding utilities going in a 64bit environment, once I succeed that could provide about the most minimal image possible for running the SMP client.
My problem at the moment is that the client is 32-bit and dynamically linked, so I need to provide 32bit glibc libraries, and I'm having fun slowly working through all the cross-compilation issues. Hope to get there eventually but it's not there yet.
gyrfalcon1 wrote:So I'm trying to do this on my Core 2 Duo box and I'm having problems.
I get Ubuntu installed and the SMP client downloaded but nothing happens when I try to run the client. It just sits there. I'm guessing its because I'm missing some libraries or something but this step
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
doesn't work for me. It says it can't find ia32-libs. Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks.
Tarx wrote:Well, if the host machine is 0wned then pretty much everything is shot. Bridged mode VMs behave like it is in the same IP class as the host, so you can think of those VMs as the same "level" of the host machine, in terms of a network diagram. So they are like additional computers connected in the same LAN, and the usual security implications apply. As for NAT, the host machine basically functions as a router for the VM(s). In a sense having the VM(s) running in its own LAN behind a NAT setup on the host should give the VM(s) a bit more security, but I really don't see the point, especially if you only run those VM(s) for points.Flying Fox wrote:NAT vs Bridged
For the security conscious, is one method better than the other? What about people that are not behind a router? And what is the impact for those using wireless routers?
Tarx wrote:Possibly because you have MAC filtering on? It does look like NAT may be better for you in terms of a no-fuss setup.(BTW for me bridged doesn't work as my wireless router refuses it - I guess I could reconfigure the router...)
Tarx wrote:You can thank [insert your deity here] for that you are running VMware server. Since it is a "server application" it is supposed to run even when no one is logged on (if you run VMware workstation then oops). In fact, what you have described above is where the magic setting is supposed to be.On thing though is that I saw:
"The virtual machine is configured to run only within your current Windows session. When you log off of the Windows session, the virtual machine will be powered off.
To keep this virtual machine running when you log off of the session, do one of the following:
* Choose VM > Settings > Options > Startup/Shutdown, and configure the virtual machine to run as a specific user account.
* Connect to the virtual machine from the VMware Server Console. Select Remote host, then specify this host and your logon information.
If you click OK, the virtual machine will be powered off when you log off of the session."
So perhaps there is a way to automate this fully. The goal would be to have VMware server automatically start when boots up, auto start this virtual OS that auto starts the SMP folding client, and nicely shutdown the virtual OS when powering down the main system. Some steps seem to be straight forward (e.g. auto start the folding client without having to log on). Again this would increase the amount of instructions of course... (e.g. how to reconfigure the SMP client). For a system that is often turned off & on, this could be quite useful!

USN-1838-1: Linux kernel (OMAP4) vulnerabilities
30 May 2013
linux-ti-omap4 vulnerabilities
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 13.04
Several security issues were fixed in the kernel.
Software Description
- linux-ti-omap4 - Linux kernel for OMAP4
An flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's perf_events interface. A local user could exploit this flaw to escalate privileges on the system. (CVE-2013-2094)
A buffer overflow vulnerability was discovered in the Broadcom tg3 ethernet driver for the Linux kernel. A local user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (crash the system) or potentially escalate privileges on the system. (CVE-2013-1929)
A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's ftrace subsystem interface. A local user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2013-3301)
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
- Ubuntu 13.04
- linux-image-3.5.0-225-omap4 - 3.5.0-225.36
To update your system, please follow these instructions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Upgrades.
After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all the necessary changes.
ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed. If you use linux-restricted-modules, you have to update that package as well to get modules which work with the new kernel version. Unless you manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages (e.g. linux-generic, linux-server, linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically perform this as well.

Philosophy and Interdisciplinarity:
Reflecting on and Crossing Boundaries
Public Philosophy Network 2013 – Atlanta, GA
Saturday Morning Workshop
Interdisciplinarity has become a popular label ascribed to innumerable research programs. But there are many conceptual and practical problems with interdisciplinary research. This workshop will describe the efforts of the Philosophy of /as Interdisciplinarity Network (PIN) to articulate and resolve those problems and will open a space for discussing future efforts and collaborations between PIN and PPN. PIN fills a niche within the broad field of interdisciplinarity studies by combining two directions of activities. The first direction takes philosophical inquiry into problems regarding the practices and theories of interdisciplinary research in the style of traditional philosophy of science. The second direction initiates a new philosophical practice of engagement in the world — one that questions and overcomes the boundaries that have constituted philosophy as a discipline in the 20th century.
