FOR572: Advanced Network Forensics and Analysis
- Contents | Schedule | Additional Info
- Instructor: Philip Hagen
Very good real-world material.
Jason Lawrence
Material is directly relevant to what our analysts are doing daily. Highly useful.
Tom L.
Take your system-based forensic knowledge onto the wire. Incorporate network evidence into your investigations, provide better findings, and get the job done faster.
Forensic casework that does not include a network component is a rarity in today's environment. Performing disk forensics will always be a critical and foundational skill for this career, but overlooking the network component of today's computing architecture is akin to ignoring security camera footage of a crime as it was committed. Whether you handle an intrusion incident, data theft case, or employee misuse scenario, the network often has an unparalleled view of the incident. Its evidence can provide the proof necessary to show intent, or even definitively prove that a crime actually occurred.
FOR572: ADVANCED NETWORK FORENSICS AND ANALYSIS was built from the ground up to cover the most critical skills needed to mount efficient and effective post-incident response investigations. We focus on the knowledge necessary to expand the forensic mindset from residual data on the storage media from a system or device to the transient communications that occurred in the past or continue to occur. Even if the most skilled remote attacker compromised a system with an undetectable exploit, the system still has to communicate over the network. Without command-and-control and data extraction channels, the value of a compromised computer system drops to almost zero. Put another way: Bad guys are talking - we will teach you to listen.
This course covers the tools, technology and processes required to integrate network evidence sources into your investigations, with a focus on efficiency and effectiveness. You will leave this week with a well-stocked toolbox and the knowledge to use it on your first day back on the job. We will cover the full spectrum of network evidence, including high-level NetFlow analysis, low-level pcap exploration, ancillary network log examination, and more. We cover how to leverage existing infrastructure devices that may contain months or years of valuable evidence as well as how to place new collection platforms while an incident is already under way.
Whether you are a consultant responding to a client's site, a law enforcement professional assisting victims of cybercrime and seeking prosecution of those responsible, or an on-staff forensic practitioner, this course offers hands-on experience with real-world scenarios that will help take your work to the next level. Previous SANS SEC curriculum students and other network defenders will benefit from the FOR572 perspective on security operations as they take on more incident response and investigative responsibilities. SANS Forensic alumni from 408 and 508 can take their existing knowledge and apply it directly to the network-based attacks that occur daily. In FOR572, we solve the same caliber of real-world problems without any convenient hard drive or memory images.
The hands-on exercises in this class cover a wide range of tools, including the venerable tcpdump and Wireshark for packet capture and analysis; commercial tools from NetWitness and NetworkMiner; and open-source tools including nfdump, tcpxtract, Logstash, and more. Through all of these exercises, your shell scripting abilities will come in handy to make easy work of ripping through hundreds and thousands of data records.
FOR572 is truly an advanced course - we hit the ground running on day one. Bring your entire bag of skills: forensic techniques and methodologies, networking (from the wire all the way up to user-facing services), Linux shell utilities, and everything in between.

|FOR572.1: Off the Disk and onto the Wire
|Philip Hagen
Mon Jun 23rd, 2014
Focus: Although many concepts of network forensics are similar to those of any other digital forensic investigation, the network presents many nuances that require special attention. Today you will learn how to apply what you already know about digital forensics and incident response to network-based evidence. You will also become acclimated to the basic tools of the trade.
Network data can be preserved, but only if captured directly from the wire. Whether tactical or strategic, packet capture methods are quite basic. You will re-acquaint yourself with tcpdump and Wireshark, the most common tools used to capture and analyze network packets, respectively. However, since long-term full-packet capture is still uncommon in most environments, many artifacts that can tell us about what happened on the wire in the past come from devices that manage network functions. You will learn about what kinds of devices can provide valuable evidence and at what level of granularity. We will walk through collecting evidence from one of the most common sources of network evidence - a web proxy server - then go hands-on to find and extract stolen data from the proxy yourself.
The Linux SIFT virtual machine, which has been specifically loaded with a set of network forensic tools, will be your primary toolkit for the week.

|FOR572.2: Network Protocols and Commercial Network Forensics
|Philip Hagen
Tue Jun 24th, 2014
Focus: Network protocols are the foundation on which all network communications build. Without an understanding of how the most fundamental protocols behave, further examination and investigation is simply impossible. More importantly, without honing the skills necessary to learn new protocols, the network forensicator will be unprepared for the future in the rapidly evolving field in which we work.
This section covers some of the most common and fundamental network protocols that you will likely face during an investigation. We will cover a broad range of protocols including the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, which "glues" together layers two and three on the OSI model, and Microsoft's Remote Procedure Call protocol, which provides all manners of file, print, name resolution, authentication, and other services.
While no one course could ever exhaustively cover the dizzying list of protocols used in a typical network environment, you will build the skills needed to learn whatever new protocols may come your way. The "learn how to learn" skill is critical, as new protocols are being developed every day. Advanced adversaries develop their own protocols, too, and as you will see later in this class, successfully understanding and counteracting an adversary's undocumented protocol is a similar process to learning those you will see in this section.
You will also take this new protocol knowledge "hands on" in real-world scenarios.

|FOR572.3: Netflow Analysis and Wireless Network Forensics
|Philip Hagen
Wed Jun 25th, 2014
FOCUS: Network connection logging, commonly called NetFlow, may be the single most valuable source of evidence in network investigations. Many organizations have extensive archives of flow data due to its minimal storage requirements. Since NetFlow does not capture any content of the transmission, many legal issues with long-term retention are mitigated. Even without content, NetFlow provides an excellent means of guiding an investigation and characterizing an adversary's activities from pre-attack through operations.
Just as photos from high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft and satellites are instrumental in national policy decisions, NetFlow data can provide a network investigator with extremely high-value intelligence about network communications. The key to extracting that value is in knowing how to use NetFlow evidence to drive more detailed (and labor-intensive) investigative activities.
In this section, you will learn what data items NetFlow can provide, and the various means of collecting those items. As with many such monitoring technologies, both commercial and open-source solutions exist to query and examine NetFlow data. We will review both categories and discuss the benefits and drawbacks of each.
In the same vein, presenting concise findings from extremely large data sources is an important skill. A network forensicator should be able to aggregate and visually present findings, especially when faced with a years-long compromise incident. Expressing findings supported with visualizations can provide a much clearer picture than words alone.
Finally, we will address the forensic aspects of wireless networking. We will cover similarities with and differences from traditional wired network examination, as well as what interesting artifacts can be recovered from wireless protocol fields. Some inherent weaknesses of wireless deployments will also be covered, including how attackers can leverage those weaknesses during an attack, and how they can be detected.

|FOR572.4: Logging, OPSEC, and Footprint
|Philip Hagen
Thu Jun 26th, 2014
Focus: Full-packet capture evidence is often unavailable. Even when it is, the period of coverage rarely extends past a few weeks. Incidents frequently go undiscovered for months or years, so we must turn to what evidence does exist to characterize the network activity around the time of original compromise. Existing infrastructure assets can also be reconfigured to gather more or higher fidelity evidence during an incident response.
Log data is one of the unsung heroes in the realm of network forensics. While the near-perfect knowledge that comes with full-packet capture seems ideal, it suffers from several shortfalls. It is often unavailable, as many organizations have not yet deployed or cannot deploy comprehensive collection systems. When they are in use, network capture systems quickly amass a huge volume of data, which is often difficult to process effectively and must be maintained in a rolling buffer covering just a few days or weeks.
Understanding log data and how it can guide the investigative process is an important network forensicator skill. Examining network-centric logs can also fill gaps left by an incomplete or nonexistent network capture.
In this section, you will learn various logging mechanisms available to both endpoint and network transport devices. You will also learn how to consolidate log data from multiple sources, providing a broad corpus of evidence in one location. As the volume of log data increases, so does the need to consider automated analytic tools. You will learn various solutions that accomplish this, from tactical to enterprise-scale.
Another benefit available in the network domain of incident response is the ability to repurpose infrastructure devices so they will better serve an ongoing investigation. When properly executed, this practice becomes an invaluable component in the incident response cycle. As incident responders acquire intelligence, they tune collections to better track the adversary's actions, which then begets better intelligence. This process requires special care, however, since interaction with active devices can create additional network traffic, and therefore, additional source evidence. As in many forensic processes, the key is to take measured steps, make minimal changes, and keep detailed documentation of each step.
Finally, the network domain provides some significantly different challenges than the traditional computer forensic domain. The process of analysis and research is an active one - simply looking up a domain name from a log file can alert an attacker to the response team's status in the investigation. You will learn which types of activities should be avoided and which can be mitigated to better ensure operational security.

|FOR572.5: Encryption, Protocol Reversing, and Automation
|Philip Hagen
Fri Jun 27th, 2014
Focus: Advancements in common technology have made it easier to be a bad guy and harder for us to track them. Sound encryption methods are readily available and custom protocols are easy to develop and employ. Despite this, there are still weaknesses even in the most advanced adversaries' methods.
Encryption is frequently cited as the most significant hurdle to effective network forensics - and for good reason. When properly implemented, encryption can be a brick wall in between an investigator and critical answers. However, technical and implementation weaknesses can be used to our advantage. Even in the absence of these weaknesses, the right analytic approach to encrypted network traffic can still yield valuable information about the content. We will discuss the basics of encryption and how to approach it during an investigation. The section will also cover flow analysis to characterize encrypted conversations.
In addition, this section addresses how network forensicators can rebuild fragmented payloads in order to reconstruct original communication streams. We will then address undocumented protocols and how to derive intelligence value with limited or nonexistent knowledge of the protocol.
Finally, we will discuss how to pivot labor-intensive tasks into scalable solutions through automation. Whether chaining single-use tools together to create an end-to-end solution or developing a new tool using various existing forensically minded libraries, your methods can be applied as easily to terabytes of live-source data as they can to a 2-gigabyte pcap.

|FOR572.6: Network Forensics Capstone Challenge
|Philip Hagen
Sat Jun 28th, 2014
Focus: This section will combine all of what you have learned prior to and during this week. In groups, you will examine network evidence from a real-world compromise by an advanced attacker. Each group will independently analyze data, form and develop hypotheses, and present findings. No evidence from endpoint systems is available - only the network and its infrastructure.
Students will present their findings at each stage of the exercise. This will test their understanding of the evidence and ability to articulate and support their hypotheses. The audience will include senior-level decision makers, so all presentations must include executive summaries as well as technical details. Time permitting, students should also include recommended steps that could help to prevent, detect, or mitigate a repeat compromise.

"No FLUFF - focused and targeted learning!" -Jackie Stokes
"Awesome! Best SANS course I have taken!" -Jim Horvath
"Although FOR572 is a network forensics class, it gets exactly right what most incident response courses get wrong. Instead of focusing on specific exploits and malware that quickly become outdated, 'Advanced Network Forensics' taught me about the full range of evidence sources available and how to effectively mine them for clues. Even more importantly, FOR572 taught me how to use different evidence sources to fill in missing gaps. This is critical, as most environments or incidents will not have every type of evidence available. A large scale APT breach will not have full packet capture available for what could be over a year of attacker activity, but making effective use of network log files can fill in those gaps. It also dove into advanced topics like analyzing unknown protocols, which is an important skill when dealing with the ever-evolving landscape of malware and odd but legitimate applications. Finally, the network forensics capstone investigation is a small but realistic simulation of an APT breach. Having to perform a realistic investigation under the pressure of limited in-class hours felt much like the pressures of investigating a live incident under the pressure of stopping ongoing data theft. It is an excellent class, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to bring their IR skills to the next level." - Alexander Bond, Mandiant

Is it out the door for one of the Girls Next Door?
Although a crowd favorite, Kendra Wilkinson received the lowest score – just 18 out of 30 points – on classical music night Monday on Dancing with the Stars, leaving her on the brink of elimination.
Keep reading to find out if her waltz tripped her up, or if another celebrity had to go.
After a long, tense evening, the reality starlet and her pro partner Louis Van Amstel were spared for at least another week.
Instead, boxer Sugar Ray Leonard, who scored higher than Wilkinson, was knocked out of the ballroom.
"That's life and I fought a good fight," said Leonard on Tuesday's show. "I'll cherish this moment. Good friends, good show. I love the spirit of the show. I love the people on this show."
His pro partner Anna Trebunskaya added: "We had so much fun. It's just amazing that a boxer became a ballet dancer!"

One of the things I miss the most about living in the South Bay besides the weather is Japanese food, more specifically, yakitori. I remembered the monthly trips to Shin Sen Gumi for my beer and grilled meat intake galore, fun times with friends are things I'll remember for life. However, like all good things in life, it appears AFTER you leave, as in the case here with Torihei.
I first found out about Torihei from reading Exile Kiss' posts and was eager to try it for myself. Located right across from Musha, Chef/Owner Masataka Hirai opened Torihei in the Spring of 2009 and the business has since boomed, especially after the LA Times article. Since the article, and this is coming from a first hand experience, make sure you CALL and reserve a seating, as my party had to take refuge at Musha for two hours for our table. Now, let's see if the food was worth the wait.......
I'll start with the oden side of the menu that's headed by Chef Masakazu Sasaki. Just to recap, oden is a pot of various items (daikon, fish cake, vegetable, eggs, etc) cooked in a dashi broth, especially perfect for winter time.
Fuwa-Fuwa Tori Tsumire (chicken balls)
"Mochikin" Rice Cake
"Hanpen" Fish Cake
Whole Tomato
半熟たまご (Half raw egg w/ikura)
The oden menu are between $1.95 to $2.80 per order and there are 13 different dishes to choose from. Lots of fantastic choices, but make sure you order the half raw egg and the tomato dishes.
Before I switch off to the Yakitori menu, we'll go into an alcoholic intermission.....
Pitcher of Sapporo on draft - $10
House Sake
Now, onward to more food!!
From Left: Sansho Pepper (green) Shichimi Togarashi (red)
From Top (Breast with wasabi, seasoned cod roe, and plum)
From Top: Special Heart, Chicken Gizzard, Chicken Tail (butt)
From Top: Beef Tongue, Chicken Wings, "Torihei" meat ball
Top: Chicken Cartilage, Bottom: Liver
In addition to oden and yakitori, Chef Hirai offers a pretty extensive menu, from sashimi to green tea mousse.
Finally, to those that know me, I have a sweet tooth, and I definitely made sure desserts were ordered at all times.
When all the smoke clears, I feel that dining at Torihei was a fantastic experience, and dare I say it's my favorite restaurant in the South Bay, and one of my favorites here in Los Angeles. Again, to try this place out, calling in for a reservation is highly recommended. Even though I live in the SGV now, I do plan on making frequent visits to Torihei, like this upcoming Saturday night! =) I will note though, the service here can be uneven as they're slightly understaffed and one lady barely speaks any English, but in the end, Torihei is definitely a hidden gem in Torrance.
What my other foodie friends thought of Torihei:

Torrance, CA 90501
Tel: (310) 781-9407 (Again, use this #, & be sure to make your reservation ahead of time!)

PITTSBURGH - So the wild card wasn't as wild as it needed to be for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
They came within a whisker of pulling off a nearly-impossible four-team parlay that could have launched their 8-8 selves into the NFL postseason.
The first domino fell at Heinz Field, when the Steelers easily dispatched the Cleveland Browns 20-7 to end at .500 for a second consecutive season.
Then the New York Jets handled the Miami Dolphins. The Cincinnati Bengals took care of the Baltimore Ravens.
The Steelers then set their sights on the lone late game that had an impact on their chances. Kansas City had to beat San Diego, and it nearly happened.
But the Chargers pulled it out and grabbed that playoff spot, leaving the Steelers looking forlornly through the window, shut out of the playoffs for a second consecutive year.
In the long run, maybe it's better this way.
The Steelers never were a playoff team. They nearly made the playoffs because the AFC after Denver and New England is filled with failure.
Everyone else has giant flaws, and that includes the Steelers.
There's a lot of work to do for the 2014 season, and it should start this morning.
The Steelers have to honestly evaluate their talent with one eye on game tapes, and the other focused on the salary cap.
This team has major cap woes, and it may need bold moves to make the numbers work.
The hard work will be on defense. Do the Steelers part ways with LaMarr Woodley, even though a big part of his cap hit will linger? What about Jason Worilds, who had an impact in the second half of this season after several disappointing years?
No. 1 draft choice Jarvis Jones had moments, just not enough of them.
Decisions on the secondary will be critical, too. Ryan Clark looked older than 34 this season. Ike Taylor was far from dependable.
Troy Polamalu has apparently indicated he's no more interested in taking a pay cut than James Harrison was last season. Do the Steelers cut him loose and clear a big chunk of cap space?
Back to Sunday for a moment. It was a strange day, with relevant out-of-town highlights shown on the scoreboard. When just a couple of thousand of stragglers were left in the stadium, the announcement of the final scores of Jets-Dolphins and Ravens-Bengals brought as big a roar as they could muster.
It could have been an emotional day for some players facing their last game on the home sideline. Instead, they left not knowing if today's visit would be to clean out their lockers or to prepare for this weekend's wild card round.
Undoubtedly it will popular among the Steelers Nation to blame Kansas City coach Andy Reid for resting so many of his regulars, or to blame the unfortunately-named kicker Ryan Succop for missing a potential game-winning field goal.
That misses the point.
The Steelers put themselves in Sunday's pickle with what they did in September. The 0-4 start doomed then, even when they regrouped and won eight of their last 12 games.
They could have been the team resting its regulars on Sunday if they'd found a way to win the opener at home against Tennessee (a team that went 7-9). They could have beaten Minnesota (a 5-10-1 team) in London.
Start the season 2-2, and there's no drama on Sunday, no disappointment when a game between San Diego and Kansas City didn't have the right outcome.
No, the Steelers have themselves to blame for missing the playoffs.
They have to get busy making sure it doesn't happen again in 2014.

5 More Great Book Ideas 'The Man' Is Too Afraid to Publish
Longtime followers of this column know that I have a long and complicated history with books. Almost two years ago, I posted about a number of book proposals I had written that never made it to print. I've also never missed an opportunity to mention my dating advice book (The Gentleman's Guide to Snaggin' Skanky Blonde Hoodrats), or my Twilight-esque book about Dragons (also currently unpublished), and my other book, which Penguin Publishing House once described as "We regret to inform you that we are not accepting unsolicited submissions at this time." While my publishing history is less than spectacular, I am still determined to get several books published, so that I may enrich the world with my knowledge, and impress chicks who sell books enough to inspire them to have sex with me (Chapter 11 from The Gentleman's Guide!).
To that effort, allow me to present five more books The Man is afraid to publish.
My Self-Help Book
The Self-Help genre is one of the most popular and lucrative on the market. Walk into any bookstore, and you'll be bombarded with hundreds and hundreds of books that teach you how to stop being so sad, or fat, or sad about how fat you are. These books are dedicated to teaching you that the only way to be the best possible you is to buy a book and do whatever another person tells you to do. What these books all have in common is positivity. And while some might argue that positivity is essential to the genre, I maintain that all it does is leave a particular market unsatisfied. If you've read every "You're the best" and "You're perfect the way you are" books and you're still unhappy, then where do you turn? You turn immediately below this paragraph, is where.
My History Book
No one who is alive currently is in any way interesting. We're all just bastard-faced pieces of stupid with nothing original to contribute to society, which is why we so often turn to the quotes, speeches and aphorisms of the great men and women who came before us. Bookstores are flooded with books like The Wit of Oscar Wilde and A Portrait of Lincoln Through His Words, because people want to experience the majesty of and learn from our predecessors through the words they actually used.
My next book is like that, but also has my words. (Bonus words!) I paid so much attention to the way Theodore Roosevelt actually thought and spoke that you probably won't even be able to tell when I made some editorial tweaks to his original language.
My Fuck It, Every Other Member of Jersey Shore Has a Book Book
Snooki and The Situation are best-selling authors and the world hasn't ended. So God is dead and the concept of morality is no longer relevant.
That's why I made this book.
Pictures of JWOWW Looking at Stuff isn't afraid to be upfront about what a piece of bullshit it is. The title was almost Something Something JWOWW, America!, but I decided to change it at the last second to make it more marketable to people who won't pick up a book unless they're positive that it's full of pictures (Jersey Shore's audience?). I've stripped away the idea that anyone is pretending this is an actual book with merit, I've just cut it down to what is basically the essence of the other Jersey Shore books. (The essence is that someone from Jersey Shore did something, and someone else printed it into a book.) This is less of a book and more of a social experiment. If it sells, I nuke the planet.

Look for Green Day on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon tonight!
July 29, 2010
July 28, 2010
AMERICAN IDIOT, the two-time Tony Award winning Broadway sensation that delivers "a blast of pure rock adrenaline" that "blows your mind" is looking for eager, energetic local fans to join IDIOT NATION, the official street team for this extraordinary new musical.
What is American Idiot?
American Idiot tells the exhilarating story of a new generation of young Americans as they struggle to find meaning in a post-9/11 world, borne along by Green Day's electrifying score.
July 27, 2010
After a Friday (7/30) appearance on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon," Green Day [ tickets ] will launch a summer stadium tour of both North and South America in support of last year's "21st Century Breakdown."
The band -- singer/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tre Cool -- kick off the trek Aug. 3 in Camden, NJ. The 18-city U.S. portion, which includes an Aug. 7 appearance at Chicago's Lollapalooza, wraps up Sept. 4 in San Francisco. After a month-long break, the trio will work its way through South America, beginning with an Oct.
July 26, 2010
What inspires your art?
Sometimes music. When I discovered Green Day's American Idiot album, I just listened to it non-stop. I also listen to a lot of books on tape while I'm painting.

If the Wings had offered $6 mil for one-year two weeks ago, Semin would be here, but that's just an opinion.
I agree with setting the market for your team, because that's what I said when we signed Ericsson for too much, which didn't seem to phase Holland then. As far as Semin, there is a big difference between bidding on a rental with capspace to burn, and signing a legitimate contract with term. Datsyuk will get a raise, most likely significant given how the cap has climbed. Filppula, same thing. Smith and Nyquist could be anything from top forward/d-man to roster footnotes, the jury is still out.
I think the Wings are right to drop out of Doan because its going to be too much cash and term, but I've said that for some time now. Semin on the other hand would have been an experiment, not a precedent.
The other thing with Semin is the Datsyuk factor. Datsyuk's played with Semin on more than a few occasions... you've got to assume that Holland spoke to Dats about Semin to see what he thought about the guy.
So we're not counting LA trading with Howson for Carter's blimped contract?
Not really because the cap hit was more manageable and in the end that's what matters. I agree that Carter was a risk, though. But props to LA for making the bold moves and having them look brilliant 12 months later.

The console war is fought everywhere these days, but the internet seems to be where people are most vocal. It also serves to give each console its own set of downloadable content, fuelling the war even more. Each week we'll give you a run-down of what's available to download on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii, and declare a winner.
Note: This round-up is based on UK releases to each console's online service. Releases outside of the UK could vary.
PlayStation 3 - PSN
This week's PS Store update is pretty decent with two game demos and a nice selection of DLC to choose from, but what really lets it down is its discrepancy compared to the North American store refresh. On the US store you can get hold of Fatal Inertia EX and download the impressive sounding Metal Gear Solid Database - a real must for all fans.
It's also worth noting that while the two demos are well worth a look, they've arrived later than their Xbox 360 counterparts. Golfers can purchase a new course for Hot Shots Golf and those that haven't already picked up the two Warhawk add-ons can now do so in a new Combo Pack.
Dark Sector: Free
Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution: Free
GH3 Coldplay Track Pack: £3.99

Hot Shots Golf Oceania Resort Course: £2.99

As of today, it's been exactly a month since the launch of Obamacare, which has been plagued as much by misinformation peddled by its opponents as by computer problems.
In an effort to clarify matters, Ryan Lizza of The New Yorker is relying on input from Jonathan Gruber, an M.I.T. economist and an architect of both Mitt Romney�s health-care plan in Massachusetts and Obama�s Affordable Care Act.
Ryan WRITES:
Gruber was frank about the issue that has caused the President so much political pain this week: the oft-repeated promise that any American who liked his health-insurance plan could keep ...

One of the most entrenched dining establishments in Grass Valley, the Humpty Dumpty Kitchen will officially reopen its doors Friday — more than a year after a fire ravaged the diner.
While the fire and subsequent renovation kept the diner closed for 14 months, the results are an upgraded facility, which will be run by many of the same people.
"Actually getting back to what I know how to do instead of overseeing a project is a relief," said owner Randy Hodges.
He isn't the only one. Most of Humpty Dumpty's workers have been receiving paychecks from Hodges' insurance policy during the rebuild and awaiting its reopening.
The restaurant, located at 1711 E. Main St., caught fire Jan. 7 when rags used to clean the grill, that were tossed into an area at the back of the building, spontaneously combusted in a not-uncommon oxidation process. The Grass Valley Fire Department ruled the incident an accident.
"We've been hanging around and helping out for the last six months," said server Shelly Stagg. "I learned to sand (wood) and put the new booths together."
Part of Humpty Dumpty's loyal customer base can be attributed to the staff who interacted with diners, such as Denise Chan, who was a server at the diner before it burned, along with her daughter Rochelle Chan.
"It's like a family here," said Denise Chan, whose youngest daughter Nicole Chan will join her sister and mother in working at the diner when it reopens.
Humpty Dumpty's roots in the community go back more than five decade to when Hodges' grandfather, L.C. Hodges, started a hamburger and ice cream stand in downtown Grass Valley. In 1970, Hodges's children, Burney and Geanine Hodges, bought the downtown shop from their father and eventually moved it to its current location in 1979.
Shortly thereafter, Randy Hodges and now-deceased brother Allyn took over Humpty Dumpty in 1979, awaiting their brother, Robert, to graduate from high school and join them.
Shirley Tellam, who started working for Hodges' grandfather five decades ago and has been serving food to diners ever since, will also return to the bigger, renovated Humpty Dumpty at its soft opening today.
"It's exciting and kind of scary at the same time," Tellam said.
One of the most obvious changes, besides the general upgrade of the facility, is the addition of an upstairs dining area. The fire decimated much of the structure's roof, so when Hodges rebuilt, he increased the second story to allow for large parties to make use of it, such as breakfast clubs, lunch-time commissions, birthday parties and other special events.
Hodges credited contractors Ron and Don Nunnink, project manager Mike Neufeld, Orchard Springs' Stan Jennings and Youngs Carpet One for their roles in the revamped diner.
"They basically built it from the ground up," Hodges said. "They did a great job."
The menu also will likely offer some new items, thanks to the restaurant's new slow-cook oven. Some of those items will include tri-tip and chicken concoctions. The restaurant will also feature an added salad menu, Hodges said.
While some aspects have changed, Hodges said many things will remain constant, such as the diner's drive through, which remains open an hour past the rest of the establishment's 3 p.m. closure.
"Our customers are excited," Hodges said. "We have had people coming by for the last few months."
The servers said they, too, have been peppered with questions during the restaurant's hiatus, especially in recent months.
"You can't even go to the grocery store," Denise Chan laughed. "They recognize you and ask us when we are opening."
While today will represent a "practice run" for the diner, Friday is billed as its official grand re-opening, Hodges said.
"It will be a full house for sure," Stagg said. "I think the whole weekend will be slammed."

HUNTINGTON — A new concept in cancer treatment will be future explored at Marshall University thanks to a grant from the National Cancer Institute.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) National Cancer Institute awarded a $432,369 three-year Academic Research Enhancement Award to the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine to launch a cancer biology research project in "epigenetics," a relatively new concept in cancer therapies, according to a press release from Rep. Nick Rahall, D-W.Va.
The concept deals with a new chemotheraputic target in cancer treatment, said Dr. Vincent E. Sollars, an associate professor of biochemistry and biology at Marshall.
"It's a great way for me and the students to get involved in some research I've wanted to do for some time," Sollars said. "We're targeting leukemia specifically with this grant, but the this could have ramifications on all types of cancers."
Over the course of the three-year project, Marshall University anticipates involving eight students from undergraduate, master's and doctoral academic programs, as well as students enrolled in the med school.
Sollars said the medical school also will hire a full time technician through the grant.

- no cap
- luxury tax
- original 6 teams + Philly, Pittsburgh, Washington, Vancouver
- commissioner voted 50/50 by players and owners
Thats ten teams who are doing well and right now are paying for some failed franchises. I think the players would appreciate a league without a CBA. If the stars are flying into the rival league and leaving the NHL behind I think there is a big chance this league could overtake the NHL given some time. I mean, which teams would fans rather see Wings versus Rangers or Coyotes versus Blues? *lol*

is a huge technology firm that is slipping its hand into any cookie
jar it thinks may hold a profit. The company already rules the
internet search and advertising market and is on track to rule the
smartphone OS market as well.Part of the success of Google's
Android mobile operating system, which is growing
faster than any other smartphone OS, is its open source
nature. As a result, the software is offered for free to phone
makers. Reuters reports
that Oracle
has sued Google over the Android operating system. The suit
centers on alleged patent infringement by Google.Oracle
claims that Google infringed on patents and copyrights it holds
relating to Java. Oracle purchased the rights to Java when it gobbled
up Sun Microsystems for $5.6 billion in 2009. The suit was filed in
federal court in California yesterday and the main claim in the suit
is that Google knowingly and directly infringed on Oracle patents and
copyright.Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, who earlier this
week condemned
HP's board for firing personal friend Mark Hurd, says
that Java is a key asset for Oracle and that the software is used in
all manner of products.IP litigator Edward Reines told
Reuters, "Sun's corporate philosophy was obviously very
different from Oracle's in terms of enforcing the Java patents."San
Jose Mercury News cites
Al Hilwa from research firm IDC saying, "At the end of the day,
it [the suit] could mean a fair amount of money." Hilwa
points out that it is likely that Oracle and Google have been
negotiating for months on licensing terms and the suit is a tactic by
Oracle to press the issue.Hilwa continued saying, "Java
is essential for Android. Since Android has been out there for more
than a year, most people would have expected they were in compliance
with whatever license terms apply."
quote: When Google developed Android it included a Java compatible technology called Dalvik with the phone OS. Dalvik was developed as a "clean room" version of Java, meaning Google built it from the ground up without using any Sun technology or intellectual property, said Gartner analyst Ken Dulaney. "You can't just take a Java application from a Sun environment, where it's licensed, and run it on Android. You have to recompile it to Dalvik," Dulaney said. Oracle says Dalvik is a competitor to Java and infringes several of its patents, which it lists in the complaint, and its Java copyright.

as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security races to deploy full body
scanners at airports across the U.S., significant concerns have been
raised. The scanners have been shown to be ineffective at
detecting dangerous low density materials like liquids,
powders, or plastic weapons. In addition, some studies have
linked them to potentially
cancer-causing DNA damage. Perhaps most importantly, major
privacy concerns remain unresolved around the scanners, which
disrobe passengers.
those problems, the DHS appears to believe that the perception of
security is too important to wait for further study. It is
instead beginning
a mass deployment, rolling out new scanners in 11 cities
including Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Diego.
advanced imaging technology (AIT) units were installed at the Boston
Logan International airport on Friday and will be installed at
Chicago O'Hare International in the next week – all installations
will be completed by the summer's end.
forty AIT units are in limited use at 19 U.S. airports. The new
units will mark the first mass deployment of the technology to the
U.S. airports. More units are expected to be deployed later
this year.
scanners will come at a relatively high expense to taxpayers. They
are funded by a $1B USD appropriation from the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The spending plan -- crafted by
Congress, President
Obama, and the Department of Homeland Security -- calls for $700
million in new screening for checked baggage and $300 million in
checkpoint explosives-detection technologies.
nine other airports receiving scanners will be: Fort
Lauderdale-Hollywood International (FFL), Cincinnati/Northern
Kentucky International (CVG), Mineta San Jos International (SJC), Los
Angeles International (LAX), Port Columbus International (CMH),
Oakland International (OAK), San Diego International (SAN), Kansas
City International (MCI), and Charlotte Douglas International (CLT).
Of the airports, only LAX previously had full-body scanners.
DHS is defending its pricey plan, arguing that there's no privacy
risk. It says that images of passengers unclothed won't be
stored, despite the recent revelation that the scanners had the built
in capability to do so. They also admit that the scanners are
only efficient at detecting metal objects, but say that could be very
helpful in detecting knives or metal-based guns.
also claim there's no health risk with the non-ionizing radio
frequency energy in the millimeter wave spectrum used by the scanners
to generate their images. They say the system's energy is
100,000 times less than a cell phone transmission. (Recent
studies, however, have suggested that DNA damage may certainly be
better or worse, though, the 450 new scanner units will soon be a
common sight in the 11 airports on the mass deployment's front. The
U.S. appears to be marching in Britain's footsteps, moving towards a
"no scan, no fly" policy.
quote: There are hundreds of thousands of crimes and fires in the country each year. How many air bombings are there?
quote: Even still, would you agree to spend 3 hours standing in line to get searched, every time you want to go outside your home, if it meant a reduction in muggings? I certainly wouldn't. So why should we abide it for flying -- especially when the risk is negligible, and the increase in safety minimal?
quote: Please read posts before replying to them.
quote: Personally (and I say this in all seriousness), I'd rather take the microscopic chance of being blown up in midair, than having to deal with these ridiculous security measures.
quote: You began the "police and fire" analogy; I merely debunked it.
quote: What should we do about old age? Or falls in the bathtub? Or venemous snake bites? Shouldn't we pass laws to prevent this loss of life?
quote: The idea that every problem should be attacked by a mass of new government laws is a symptom of the liberal mind.

LISBON - The Columbiana County Career and Technical Center is setting aside a bit more money in its capital improvement in anticipation of undertaking some additional renovation projects in 2013.
The CTC board voted last week to transfer $1 million from the general fund to the capital improvement fund to further improvements at the restaurant, install additional energy efficient lighting and convert a storage garage into two additional science labs.
The CTC has no capital improvement levy, which is why it transfers money into the account. Superintendent Chuck Adkins said the board usually transfers $500,000 per year, but the amount was upped this year because of the science lab project.
He said they need some larger modern labs to serve students enrolled in their various health care programs, and they hope to accomplish that with conversion of the storage garage where tractors and other equipment are kept.
The CTC has applied to the state to determine if any of the projects would qualify for state funding and learn how much is available, but Adkins said they are prepared to proceed with the projects, regardless.
In other action at the meeting, the board hired Kerry Beeson as an auto collision repair instructor replacing Kevin Barnett, who resigned from the position after a short time on the job. Beeson, who was transportation director for the United Local school district, will be paid $53,000.
Angela Datillio, director of Adult Basic and Literacy Education gave a brief update on the program. In addition to classes at the school, adults wishing to improve their reading, math and other education skills can attend classes at sites in Salem, Columbiana and East Liverpool.
Many adults use these classes to prepare for the GED exams, and Datillio said 52 did just that in 2012, with 48 passing. Another 11 were able to use the classes to obtain a job, 12 used the classes to keep their job, and 45 students went on to college or advance vocational training.

We're in the home stretch before TechEd North America! In our final countdown show - Rick shares what he packed in his suitcase. Joey is so impressed - he's speechless at points! Rick lives by the motto of "you cannot be prepared enough..." and as such takes it a little to the extreme when packing for TechEd.
In all seriousness, some things you should make sure to bring:
Come see us in the showcase area where we will be live streaming during breaks and lunches as well as recording episodes and interviews during sessions. Connect with us via twitter during TechEd by tweeting with #ch9live and we'll be watching the #msteched hashtag as well for goings on.
Travel safe!
Oops, something didn't work.
Oh you guys... LOL. Your production assistants were too fast though because your objects were coming out of your suitcase before you even reached in to grab them. Hilarious.
Still time for that competition .. no wait .. better just that ticket to whoever comments here first (Microsoft employees excluded).
@jrozenblit - shhhhh. don't break the magic... It's actually part of the space/time continuum issue where objects are literally pushed out to make room for more in the magical suitcase.
@ian2 congrats - you win! what's your interview question or topic you'd like us to cover at TechEd CH9 live with guests?
Rick -- You must learn to think out of the box. If you'd put an SUV in there, all would have been so much easier. You could have just packed all that stuff in the SUV. No need for a heavy bag. Right?
@nick - that is why you make the big bucks as a HeadHunter extraordinaire - you think OUTSIDE the box (or in this case, the suitcase). My only downside is I don't have time to drive from Redmond, WA to Florida in time for the event.
LOL...great job packing! Excellent idea for the vendors at the Expo- instead of t-shirts, offer some power extension cords... you will make friends too

For real estate managers at large retail chains the expiration of a store lease triggers a complex evaluation of the store. How is that store performing relative to other locations? Are there competitors close by? Have the demographics of the neighborhood
changed significantly since the store opened? Does the merchandise of the store fit the clientele? How many potential customers live within a five minute drive of the store? To answer these questions they need data from many different sources (census data,
sales data, geographic data, etc.), but even more importantly they need a tool that helps them stitch together the data and visualize it in a way that makes it intuitive work to with and actionable. In this video we take a look at how the folks atAccruent
are tackling this problem by overlaying WPF 3D visualizations on maps provided by Windows Live's Virtual Earth Services. We also look at how their tool manages the evaluation process using Microsoft Office Sharepoint Services and Windows Workflow Foundation
and integrates with Outlook and the other Office 2007 applications to provide a seamless experience.
Get more info about the technologies used in this video here.
Oops, something didn't work.
This is the second video of my Channel9 show called "Windows Vista Show-and-Tell". Along with these videos I'm hoping to provide as much information as possible about the technologies that were used to build the apps and how those technologies were stitched
together, thus the information below. Feel free to give me some comments on how this information is presented and if there is other information about the apps that you would like to see.
Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)
The Microsoft Windows Presentation Foundation provides the foundation for building applications and high fidelity experiences in Windows Vista, blending together application UI, documents, and media content, while exploiting the full power of your computer. The functionality extends to the support for Tablet and other forms of input, a more modern imaging and printing pipeline, accessibility and UI automation infrastructure, data driven UI and visualization, as well as the integration points for weaving the application experience into the Windows shell.

Excitement is in the air, buzzing like electricity. August is here and August means the first day of school. There is always a noticeable change in the hospital every year at this time. When the high school, college and veterinary students that have been employed for the Summer head back to school, they take some of their enthusiasm with them.
Their excitement helps to remind me (Dr. Perry Jamison), and hopefully all of us who have graduated from veterinary school) why we got into the field in the first place. They also remind us of all the hard work and dedication it took to get us here.
While everyone wants to make a good living, the bottom line is that the majority of us want to enjoy what we do and actually like going to work every day.
I have been a veterinarian for more than 20 years and I have never met anyone who went to veterinary school for financial prosperity. Certainly over time priorities shift and some stay in it for what it can give them, but I think this is the exception, not the rule.
When I ask my colleagues what got them into this career, I hear a myriad of answers: "I was raised on a farm and I have had pets my whole life" or "My father was a veterinarian."
No matter what other reason they might give, it always comes back to "I love animals".
For me, I did not think about veterinary medicine as a career until I started college. The sequence of job choices progressed from FBI agent, farmer, and when I started college, forester.
I remember not being convinced during my first semester at North Carolina State University that this was the right choice. My Aunt Joyce knew I was struggling to decide, and I still remember her saying, "Perry you should be a veterinarian, you like science, you enjoy logically figuring out problems and you love animals."
The next step was figuring out what it would take to accomplish this goal. There were prerequisite courses that had to be taken in chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, zoology, animal husbandry, genetics and nutrition. And simply completing the course was not enough. Since there are only 28 veterinary colleges in the United States, the competition is fierce. You have to be in the top of your class to be accepted.
Exposure to the veterinary field is almost a requirement when the acceptance committee is looking at an applicant. In addition to experience, you also need three personal recommendations, two of which must be from veterinarians. Once I set my sights on being a veterinarian, I began working every summer and holiday for Dr. Thomas Huddleston in Newport News, Va.
I worked hard to impress him. Dr. Huddleston started me out working in the kennels cleaning cages and bathing dogs. Those were the cleanest kennels in the state by the time I was finished ... for about five minutes anyway!
Over the years, he and his technicians gradually taught me new skills such as how to draw blood, take radiographs (X-rays), prep for surgery and to fill prescriptions.
Once I had some experience, letters of recommendation, excelled in the prerequisite classes, the final step was to take the GRE (Graduate Record Examination). This test assesses your skills in verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, analytical writing, and critical thinking.
A good score is required to even be considered. I can still recall the stress I felt the Saturday of the exam knowing how much was riding on this one morning. It took several weeks for the letter with my scores to arrive (no Internet in the early 1980s) and I was scared to open it. Obviously I did OK!
Once my college transcripts, GRE scores and recommendations were submitted, it was out of my hands and a matter of waiting to hear from the acceptance committee. Would I get in or would I have to wait and apply again next year? I still have the letter congratulating me on being accepted into the N.C. State College of Veterinary Medicine, class of 1991.
After starting veterinary school, I would still work for Dr. Huddleston when home for the summer or holidays. The fun now was applying all that I was learning in school to my job!
Even after 22 years of practice, I am glad with the choice I made. It is easy for me to get out of bed in the morning knowing that I get to go into work and spend the day helping animals.
Unfortunately, one of the difficulties for today's prospective veterinary students is the rising cost of tuition and resulting financial debt.
Depending on the school, it may cost anywhere from $100,000 to $300,000 over the course of four years. This is in addition to debt obtained during the previous four years obtaining an undergraduate degree.
To spend this amount of money (or take on this much financial debt), it is imperative that the end result be something you will enjoy doing, and getting veterinary exposure before applying is the best way.
To be a veterinarian, it is not enough to just love animals, you must also enjoy working with people.
I have seen too many veterinarians who love the animals but have trouble communicating with their parents. I spend the majority of my time communicating with people, guiding them through difficult decisions, celebrating successes, and even being a shoulder to cry on when needed. If you do not like interacting with people, this is a miserable job.
Whenever I am asked by visiting high school students what it takes to become a veterinarian, I retrace my steps and remember the hard work and dedication it took to get here.
While it was not an easy road, I know it was the right one for me. Seeing their enthusiasm as they head off to college reminds me of how fortunate I am to be a veterinarian.

Sharing a photograph of herself and Goldblum embracing, the actress and aerialist wrote on Twitter on Saturday, "Jul 8 he proposed @ our fave #okstore. I was taken over by tears of joy n ecstasy! We picked the ring 2gether #inlove"
The actor, 61, then flew his wife-to-be to Maui for a romantic vacation, where she showed off her new ring while watching the sun rise over Haleakala, a dormant volcano that's 10,000 feet high.
"So in love!!!" Livingston, 31, captioned a photo taken at Mama's Fish House restaurant, and she posted another cuddly pic at Spago at the Four Seasons Resort before sharing a close-up of her new ring.
Goldblum has been married twice before, to actresses Patricia Gaul and Geena Davis.

This isn't the '80s anymore. With the salary cap and the way the game is played now, there just isn't room on a roster for one dimensional players. As someone else mentioned earlier in the thread, Tootoo isn't exactly a figher or an enforcer, he's more of a pest. But he needs to bring more to the table than that. He needs to score more, be good defensively, a good penalty killer, dominate on faceoffs, just something else. Taking penalties at inopportune times doesn't help any either.
I don't remember him taking any more dumb penalties than Smith, Quincey or Abdelkader. What are these penalties that Tootoo took this season? I don't remember him costing us too many games.
He's not one-dimensional either. Look at his career numbers and then look at Tony Twist's or Stu Grimson's. How is Tootoo one-dimensional? He fights and he lays good bodychecks. Scores as many points as most 4th liners in the league. What is he not doing right?
I feel like there's too many posters here who look at all 4th line fighters as being in the same basket. Too much stereotyping.
