Call me a geek, but this is FUN!
Frank Dixon, The Babcock & Wilcox Company
Love the amount of detail/info in books, love the VM.
Jeff Datzman, Vacaville Police Department
Master Windows Forensics - "You Can't Protect What You Don't Know About."
All organizations must prepare for cyber-crime occurring on their computer systems and within their networks. Demand has never been greater for analysts who can investigate crimes such as fraud, insider threats, industrial espionage, employee misuse, and computer intrusions. Government agencies increasingly require trained media exploitation specialists to recover vital intelligence from Windows systems. To help solve these cases, SANS is training a new cadre of the world's best digital forensic professionals, incident responders, and media exploitation experts capable of piecing together what happened on computer systems second by second.
FOR500: Windows Forensic Analysis focuses on building in-depth digital forensics knowledge of Microsoft Windows operating systems. You can't protect what you don't know about, and understanding forensic capabilities and artifacts is a core component of information security. You will learn how to recover, analyze, and authenticate forensic data on Windows systems, track particular user activity on your network, and organize findings for use in incident response, internal investigations, and civil/criminal litigation. You will be able to use your new skills to validate security tools, enhance vulnerability assessments, identify insider threats, track hackers, and improve security policies. Whether you know it or not, Windows is silently recording an unbelievable amount of data about you and your users. FOR500 teaches you how to mine this mountain of data.
Proper analysis requires real data for students to examine. The completely updated FOR500 course trains digital forensic analysts through a series of new hands-on laboratory exercises that incorporate evidence found on the latest Microsoft technologies (Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 10, Office and Office365, cloud storage, SharePoint, Exchange, Outlook). Students leave the course armed with the latest tools and techniques and prepared to investigate even the most complicated systems they might encounter. Nothing is left out - attendees learn to analyze everything from legacy Windows 7 systems to just-discovered Windows 10 artifacts.
- FOR500: Windows Forensic Analysis will teach you to:
- Conduct in-depth forensic analysis of Windows operating systems and media exploitation focusing on Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 10, and Windows Server 2008/2012/2016
- Identify artifact and evidence locations to answer critical questions, including application execution, file access, data theft, external device usage, cloud services, geolocation, file download, anti-forensics, and detailed system usage
- Focus your capabilities on analysis instead of on how to use a particular tool
- Extract critical answers and build an in-house forensic capability via a variety of free, open-source, and commercial tools provided within the SANS Windows SIFT Workstation
FOR500 is continually updated. The course uses an intellectual property theft and corporate espionage case that took over six months to create. You work in the real world, so your training should include real-world practice data. Our instructor development team used incidents from their own investigations and experiences to create an incredibly rich and detailed scenario designed to immerse students in an actual investigation. The case demonstrates the latest artifacts and technologies an investigator might encounter while analyzing Windows systems. The detailed workbook shows step-by-step the tools and techniques that each investigator should employ to solve a forensic case.

|Course Contents
|FOR500.1: Windows Digital Forensics And Advanced Data Triage
The Windows Forensic Analysis course starts with an examination of digital forensics in today's interconnected environments and discusses challenges associated with mobile devices, tablets, cloud storage, and modern Windows operating systems. We will discuss how modern hard drives, such as Solid State Devices (SSD), can affect the digital forensics acquisition process and how analysts need to adapt to overcome the introduction of these new technologies.
Hard drive sizes are increasingly difficult to handle appropriately in digital cases. Being able to acquire data in an efficient and forensically sound manner is crucial to every investigator today. Most fundamental analysts can easily image a hard drive using a write blocker. In this course, we will review the core techniques while introducing new triage-based acquisition and extraction capabilities that will increase the speed and efficiency of the acquisition process. We will demonstrate how to acquire memory, the NTFS MFT, Windows logs, Registry, and critical files that will take minutes to acquire instead of the hours or days currently spent on acquisition.
We will also begin processing our collected evidence using stream-based and file-carving-based extraction capabilities that employ both commercial and open-source tools and techniques. Seasoned investigators will need to know how to target the specific data they need to begin to answer fundamental questions in their cases.
CPE/CMU Credits: 6
|FOR500.2: Core Windows Forensics Part I: Windows Registry Forensics And Analysis
Our journey continues with the Windows Registry, where the digital forensic investigator will learn how to discover critical user and system information pertinent to almost any investigation. Each examiner will learn how to navigate and examine the Registry to obtain user profile data and system data. The course teaches forensic investigators how to prove that a specific user performed keyword searches, ran specific programs, opened and saved files, perused folders, and used removable devices.
Throughout the section, investigators will use their skills in a real hands-on case, exploring the evidence and analyzing evidence.
CPE/CMU Credits: 6
|FOR500.3: Core Windows Forensics Part II: Usb Devices And Shell Items
Being able to show the first and last time a file or folder was opened is a critical analysis skill. Utilizing shortcut (LNK), jump list, and Shellbag databases through the examination of SHELL ITEMS, we can quickly pinpoint which file or folder was opened and when. The knowledge obtained by examining SHELL ITEMS is crucial in tracking user activity in intellectual property theft cases internally or in tracking hackers.
Removable storage device investigations are often an essential part of performing digital forensics. We will show you how to perform in-depth USB device examinations on Windows 7-10. You will learn how to determine when a storage device was first and last plugged in, its vendor/make/model, and even the unique serial number of the device used.
CPE/CMU Credits: 6
|FOR500.4: Core Windows Forensics Part III: E-Mail, Key Additional Artifacts, And Event Logs
Depending on the type of investigation and authorization, a wealth of evidence can be unearthed through the analysis of e-mail files. Recovered e-mail can bring excellent corroborating information to an investigation, and its informality often provides very incriminating evidence. It is common for users to have an e-mail that exists locally on their workstation, on their company e-mail server, in the private cloud, and in multiple webmail accounts.
Additional artifacts such as Windows prefetch and appcompatcache data are paramount to proving evidence of execution. Also, the System Resource Usage Monitor (SRUM), one of the newest digital artifacts, can help determine several important user actions even after execution of counter-forensic programs.
Finally, Windows event log analysis has solved more cases than possibly any other type of analysis. Understanding the locations and content of these files is crucial to the success of any investigator. Many researchers overlook these records because they do not have adequate knowledge or tools to get the job done. This last part of the section will arm each investigator with the core knowledge and capability to maintain this crucial skill for many years to come.
CPE/CMU Credits: 6
|FOR500.5: Core Windows Forensics Part IV: Web Browser Forensics - Firefox, Internet Explorer, And Chrome
With the increasing use of the Web and the shift toward Web-based applications and cloud computing, browser forensic analysis is a critical skill. During this section, the investigator will comprehensively explore Web browser evidence created during the use of Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Google Chrome. The hands-on skills taught here, such as SQLite and ESE database parsing, allow investigators to extend these methods to nearly any browser they encounter. The analyst will learn how to examine every significant artifact stored by the browser, including cookies, visit and download history, Internet cache files, browser extensions, and form data. We will show you how to find these records and identify the common mistakes investigators make when interpreting browser artifacts. You will also learn how to analyze some of the more obscure browser artifacts such as session restore, tracking cookies, and private browsing remnants.
Throughout the section, investigators will use their skills in real hands-on cases, exploring evidence created by Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer correlated with other Windows Operating System artifacts.
CPE/CMU Credits: 6
|FOR500.6: Windows Forensic Challenge
Nothing will prepare you more as an investigator than a full hands-on challenge that requires you to use the skills and knowledge presented throughout the week. In the morning, you will have the option to work in teams on a real forensic case. Students will be provided evidence to analyze, and the exercise will step you through the entire case flow, including proper acquisition, analysis, and reporting in preparation for a possible trial. Teams will work on the case with the objective of profiling computer usage and discovering critical pieces of evidence to present during the trial.
This complex case will involve an investigation into one of the most recent versions of the Windows Operating System. The evidence is real and provides the most realistic training opportunity currently available. Solving the case will require that students use all of the skills gained from each of the previous sections.
The section will conclude with a mock trial involving presentations of the evidence collected. The team with the best in-class presentation and short write-up wins the challenge...and the case!
CPE/CMU Credits: 6

CHICAGO -- Deshaun Thomas has been a prolific scorer at every level of basketball.
The Ohio State small forward knows, however, that NBA teams are looking to see a more well-rounded game.
The 6-foot-7, 220-pounder is expected to be a late first-round pick or an early second-round selection. The Cavaliers have two picks atop the second round -- Nos. 31 and 33 overall -- and could target Thomas.
The Indiana native would love to return to Ohio.
"I think about it," he said. "It would be fine going back to Ohio and playing with the Cavs. Whatever's the best fit. I wouldn't mind going back. Everybody always tweets: 'I hope you go to the Cavs. Come back to Ohio.' It would be great if the Cavs pick me up."
Of course, he has no control over where he's headed.
In his mind -- like most players at the NBA draft combine -- he thinks he'll be a first-round pick.
"I believe I can be a late first-round pick," he said. "I have confidence. But all I've got to do is keep working, do what I can do. As long as I can feel like when I can walk out of that gym that I worked hard, I'll leave it in God's hands and everything will take care of itself."
He said he doesn't think being a second-rounder would be a disappointment.
"It's all about getting in there and being with the right team, having the right team pick you and going from there," Thomas said. "Are you going to work out? Are you going to keep going? That's what my motivation is. Get in there, work out, try to work your way up and be great."
Thomas led the Big Ten in scoring at 19.8 points per game. He also averaged 5.9 rebounds and shot 44.5 percent from the field and 34.4 percent from the 3-point line.
He said he brings a lot of intangibles to the court.
"I can bring great energy," he said. "I can bring toughness, competitiveness and the will to win. Everybody says, 'Yeah, you can bring the scoring, but what else can you do?' I can go out there and get the extra points, extra rebounds, extra assists, just the little things.
"I learned that from playing at Ohio State. It's not all about the scoring. It's all about the effort and doing the little things to help your team win."
He said he's worked hard to reshape his body since the Buckeyes' NCAA tournament run ended. He said his body fat has dropped from 11 or 12 percent to 8.5 or 9.
"I worked on flexibility, getting stronger and being explosive," he said.
He models his game to Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony's.
"He can make tough shots," Thomas said. "He has a scoring mentality."
Thomas said he's spoken to Ohio State alumni Greg Oden and Mike Conley, among others, about taking the next step.
"They said it takes only one team to like you so go in and play hard and compete and make shots," he said.

New land and a supply partnership with an organics importer should help an online organic foods distributor enter living produce and expand into additional produce offerings.
In mid-October, Green PolkaDot Box LLC broke ground on 40 acres in central Utah to grow kale, spinach and other leafy greens that it plans to distribute as living produce grown in greenhouses using vertical aeroponic technology.
The Mount Pleasant, Utah-based online membership club plans to increase its product offerings through a contract it recently entered into with Key Biscayne, Fla.-based Fresh Organics LLC, a part of Holland-based Unifresh LLC.
Through the 10-year contract, Fresh Organics plans to supply Green PolkaDot tropicals and other fruits and vegetables Green PolkaDot cannot grow itself, said Cheryl Forester, public relations and media manager.
"They've been in that space for some time and have the freshest quality we've found," she said. "Our goal is to eliminate food deserts. Demand for organics has gone up but there are places in the U.S. where you can't get organic produce. Now it doesn't matter if you don't have it locally as we can ship it in the same amount of time."
Green PolkaDot's online offerings are primarily frozen and processed produce.
The deal with Fresh Organics and the planned addition of farms in Texas, Florida and the Northeast — expected to begin production by late 2015 — should help it better serve its customers and expand into other fresh produce items, Forester said.
It markets its products under its Living Produce brand and expects to begin its first harvest from the Utah site in January, she said.
Marc Meurs, Fresh Organics' co-owner, said the deal, expected to generate $16 million in revenues, should help growing demand for wholesale-priced organic and non-GMO natural foods that Green PolkaDot sells.
"They have a growing member base but they need the volume of a distributor, especially internationally," he said. "This has huge potential. People are very conscious about what they eat."
Green PolkaDot also plans to add bell peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes.

Ernest Everett Just
(Aug 14, 1883-Oct.27, 1941)
Ernest Everett Just, zoologist, biologist, physiologist, and research scientist, was the son of Charles and Mary Matthews Just.
Just was born in a house located on Inspection Street in Charleston. The house no longer exists, but a historic plaque is located near that site.
Following the death of her husband Charles in 1887, Mary Just moved her family off the peninsula and acquired several hundred acres of land known as "the Hillsborough Plantation". She founded the town of Maryville, one of the first purely black town governments in the state and a model for blacks throughout the United States. The town was subsequently absorbed by the city of Charleston.
A student in the school run by his mother, Ernest at the age of thirteen enrolled at South Carolina State College in Orangeburg, SC, in the spring of 1896. He completed the normal course in three years and returned to Maryville in 1899, licensed to teach in the black public schools of South Carolina. After a fire burned his mother's school to the ground, his mother decided he should obtain more education and secured his enrollment at Kimball Hall Academy, New Hampshire.
Just graduated from Dartmouth College (1907) with special honors in botany and history, and received his Ph.D from the University of Chicago in experimental embryology.
He taught at Howard University and conducted research during the summer months at Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, Massachusetts.
In 1920, Just was named a Julius Rosenwald Fellow in Biology of the National Research Council and an adjunct researcher at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Biology, Berlin-Dahlam, Germany.
Just's research work focused on fertilization, experimental parthenogenesis, hydration, cell division, dehydration in living cells, the effect of ultra violet rays in increasing chromosome numbers in animals and in altering the organization of the egg with reference to polarity. Just was the author of Basic Methods for Experiments in Eggs of Marine Animals and Biology of the Cell Surface.

CO-OP Grants Help Kids Get Outdoors, Despite Economic Times
AUSTIN — As organizations across the nation face budget cuts, groups in Austin, Dallas, Brownsville, San Antonio, Houston and other cities are still finding ways to get more kids and their families outdoors. Sixteen such organizations have been awarded grants from Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to introduce participants to environmental education, conservation and outdoor recreation.
"Not only are these participants experiencing education and fun in the outdoors, many are also participating in outdoor service projects which will benefit state and local communities," said Darlene Lewis, Community Outdoor Outreach Program coordinator with TPWD in Austin.
Funds for the CO-OP grant program come from a portion of state sales tax attributed to sporting goods. Such funding allows tax-exempt organizations and local governments to provide outdoor recreation and environmental education activities to participants who may not otherwise be able to do so. A total of $1.25 million is available each year and is given out in two funding cycles, with application deadlines Oct. 1 and Feb. 1.
Below are organizations receiving grants in the current round, listed by city.
(Austin) — American Youthworks — More than 250 drop-outs who have decided to return to school will participate in the Service and Outdoor Leadership program which will occur in local, state and national parks. Projects include trash pick-up, trail building and habitat restoration. ($50,000)
(Austin) — Campfire USA — Children and their families from school districts and housing communities will learn about conservation and participate in outdoor recreational activities such as fishing, backpacking, camping and outdoor cooking. Service projects include building and installing birdhouses in Travis County. ($36,290)
(Beaumont) — Environmental Learning & Research Center — The Neches River will be the classroom for student and teacher workshops where water quality testing will be conducted. Cleaning up litter along the river will be the outdoor service project. ($28,001)
(Bloomington) — Bloomington ISD — Fishing, camping, outdoor cooking and orienteering are just a few of the activities to be experienced by students and their families in this district. ($44,166)
(Brownsville) Texas Southmost College — College mentors will partner with high school students in the Lower Rio Grande Valley to introduce them to kayaking, biking, birding and state park visits. (42,844)

Baseball Prospectus Book News
Dollar Sign Update
We had a fumbled exchange with the printer on our last proof run of Dollar Sign on the Muscle, and it has put us back a week in production. The Dollar Sign on the Muscle paperback and e-book will be available on November 7, 2013. The good news is we've been able to use the time to continue to improve the book inside and out, and I'm confident this is the cleanest and best edition of Dollar Sign ever to see the light of print. Here's all the info from the Dollar Sign newswire:
I hope you had a safe and happy Halloween, and thanks again for your patience.

A fumbled exchange with the printer...for an e-book?
Nov 01, 2013 10:14 AM
The printer still does the layout work for the ebook. You aren't just printing a word document to pdf and calling it a day.
Nov 01, 2013 10:51 AM
We actually do our own layout and save an OpenOffice document to PDF for the printer.

Grant writing: Own the night
By Lieutenant Raymond E. Foster, LAPD (ret.), MPA
Sponsored by ITT Night Vision
"We own the night" 1 has become such a U.S. Military truism that it has its own acronym "OTN." Until recently, the history of warfare was that operations where usually avoided at night. Technology has changed nighttime operations from using artificial illumination (like flares) to using devices that take advantage of the low-light environment. Moreover, technology is being employed to solve another age-old military problem – communications. As Kerner noted in "Joint Technical Architecture: Impact on Department of Defense Programs," In today's increasingly dynamic battle space, systems that were never intended to work together are often involved in aspects of the same mission, sometimes even deployed in the same tent. In this environment, interoperability (i.e., the ability of systems to exchange information and use common information) is at a premium, but it rarely happens by accident." 2
Both the problems of working at night and communicating with different units (or agencies) are common problems for law enforcement organizations. Indeed, FBI data for law enforcement officers killed in the line-of-duty reveals that between 1995 and 2004 over 65% of the deaths occurred between 2000 and 0800 hours. Moreover, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, more than 2/3 of sexual assaults occur between 1800 and 0600 hours. Clearly, there is significant crime at night and law enforcement officials need to look at technologies that improve their "OTN."
In addition to sharing the need to work at night, law enforcement and military personnel share the problem of interoperability. Emergency situations often involve multiple jurisdictions with different communication equipment and jargon. The National Institute of Justice has produced several reports detailing both problems and potential technological solutions.
Military Applications – Law Enforcement Solutions
Whereas technological solutions for nighttime operations and communications have been developed for the U.S. Military, there has been significantly less technology development directed solely at domestic law enforcement. A simply explanation is that the military has a much larger budget than any single law enforcement agency and therefore, money attracts and drives development of technology. It follows that if the needs of local law enforcement could be combined, there would be greater private sector motivation to produce technology aimed at solving local law enforcement problems.
The purpose of the Technology Transfer Programs (TTP) is to determine and combine the needs of the more than 18,000 state and local law enforcement agencies into a larger purchasing pool therefore increasing the development of technology for law enforcement; and, additionally, engendering uniformity across the nation. As an example, between 1998 and 2002, the Counterdrug TTP delivered over 4800 pieces of equipment to domestic law enforcement agencies. Simply, the larger purchasing pool has, in part, created vendor motivation to produce technology solutions for law enforcement.
Another economic force behind some of the TTP success was the "peace dividend" from the Cold War. Around the end of the cold war, the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) sought inter-agency agreements with research and development centers that had heretofore been dedicated to the development of military technology. Now, places like the U.S. Army Electronic Proving Ground and, U.S. Navy Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center are involved in the search for law enforcement technology solutions.
The National (or federal) policy on determining needs is that those need are best determined by the people closest to the problem. Indeed, the character and nature of American law enforcement is that solutions forced down (from federal or state authorities) are much less like to be accepted than solutions reached by means of participation. Recognizing this, TTP determines the direction of technological development based on input from regional experts.
Once the regional experts agree on what types of technology would help solve local problems the technologies are offered to the local agencies through a competitive grant process.
The Last Bastion of Local Application
Most grants from the federal government are in some way funneled through the state. Moreover, many grant applications are simply too complex and costly to administer for the small municipal agency. Often, it would cost the agency more to apply and administer the grant than the money received from the grant. Technology transfer grants, in both the areas of counterdrug and homeland security, are set up so that the local agency applies directly for the funding. Again, this is because it is presumed that you know best what technological solutions would work in your community.
Perhaps the first and foremost clue in successfully applying is understanding how the technology will solve your local problem. The funding agency is asking you to demonstrate that the technology will improve your agencies operational capabilities; you have the capability to integrate the technology into your current infrastructure; and, the technology is not too complex for your organization to support. So, you the applicant, must understand the technology and the local problem and then draw a connection between the technology and your problem in the grant application.
Technology transfers grants are a competitive process. In some manner, the grant applications are scored, and then the equipment is provided to the highest scoring agencies. While this is somewhat a function of prioritizing the allocation of limited resources (there's only so much to go around), it is also a function of ensuring local needs are met. In other words, if your grant application demonstrates you need the technology you are likely to be awarded.
Demonstrating need
Completing a grant application as a means of demonstrating need is a much different mindset. It places you, the writer, in the position of having to understand the technology, your community, the national priorities and the nexus between the three. Because the types of technology offered by this process changes, your first step is to review the technologies offered. It is critical to understand the capabilities and limitations of the equipment. At a minimum, look carefully at the vendors specifications. What do they say the equipment should be used for? A very successful applicant would likely pick up the telephone, call the vendor and ask for the telephone number of a similar agency that is using the equipment. How are they using it? What does it do? What can't it do?
Once you understand the capabilities and limitations of the technology, you have a greater understanding of the problems the technology can solve. Now, specifically, what are your community's problems? How will the technology solve your, specific, local problem? Or, how will it enhance your operations? If you can answer these questions you have fulfilled the first two parts of the grant triad – improving your operational capabilities and integrating the technology into your operations.
National Priorities
Grants like the TTP are a dual-edged sword. Yes, the focus is finding technological solutions based on local needs, but the process is also used to further national priorities. As an example, you can not apply for TTP in the arena of homeland security if your community has not adopted the National Incident Management System (NIMS). The furtherance of national priorities is not hidden in the grant process. It is plainly among the questions on the application.
When you see questions that don't seem to have a direct connection to the technology or are clearly connected to a national priority, step-back and make sure you understand the national priority. As an example, don't ignore or attempt a generic answer to questions about your community and the National Response Plan; or your community and the National Priorities. Many times the grant application will have supplemental information that can help you understand the terms and phrases, and thus the questions. Often, a greater understanding of the question will lead to an easy answer – you are probably in compliance or could be if you clearly understood what was being asked.
It is a competitive process
Nearly all grant applications are in some way a competitive process. As for the TTP, your application is likely scored by a panel of subject matter experts. Points are assigned by the expert based on your answer. The higher your overall score the more likely you will be awarded the grant. There are five simple things you can do to improve your application and thus your score:
- Write clearly: With the advent of online grant applications, many applicants type their answers directly into the application. Instead of typing directly into the application, use word processing software to create a first draft. At a minimum, you can now use the "spell check" feature. More importantly, you can seek professional input about your application.
- Seek Feedback: Once you have completed your draft answer you should seek feedback. At a minimum, have a colleague read your responses. Your readers should be looking at both your exposition and content. Yes, spelling counts. Reviewers are human beings, obvious misspelling, missing words or extra words detract from your presentation. A smart grant writer will seek professional advice. As an example, ITT Night Vision has Margaret Stark, a Law Enforcement Grant Consultant. She is willing and able to assist you without charge. You can contact her at 704.540.0981.
- Answer the Question: If you don't understand a word, term or question you should seek clarification from the grantor. You can pick up the telephone and call them. Often, there is supplemental material and/or a reference location you can consult. Moreover, concentrate on answer the question at hand. As an example, there is a difference in how technology might be used during a disaster as opposed to how it might be incorporated into your routine operations. Sometimes, because an agency's routine operations are "emergency responses" they tend to view the two questions as the same. They are not. And, you must answer both while drawing the connection between the technology, your local problems and national priorities.
- Explore the Question: The "National Priorities" is a reference to a specific document containing specific recommendations. On the other hand, it can also mean a broad set of national goals. You need to understand what is meant. Or, a "needs assessment" is a specific activity. During your initial review of the grant you may think you agency has never conducted a needs assessment. Yet, upon further exploration you are likely to find that some larger (county, regional or state) agency included your jurisdiction in an assessment. Don't answer a question until you fully understand it.
- Be specific: If a grant application asks you to answer a "yes" or "no" question and then to provides you space to describe your answer, don't leave the explanation blank. Your grant is going to be competitively scored against other grants. A one word response is the minimum and will receive the minimum. As an example, if you were asked, "Does your jurisdiction contain any critical infrastructure?" Some would answer yes and then say "we have numerous bridges, highways and a single electrical generating plant." Other, more savvy writers, would say, "Highway 76 runs east/west through our jurisdiction and is a primary hurricane evacuation route. There are four bridges (two over highways, one over a rail line and one over a river). The Cheap Power Company plant is located in the northeast area of our jurisdiction and provides power to the 34K residence of our jurisdiction as well as substantial power to surround jurisdictions." The second answer provides the grant reviewer with a basis from which to assign a competitive score. While there are no guarantees, you be the judge of which answer you would score higher.
As a final thought, the grant writing process is not simply an administrative function. It should be a core component of your agency's journey toward "owning the night." It would be a shame if someone's safety was jeopardized because a few hours weren't spent on being a competitive writer.

The striker's first goal since June 1 allowed Philadelphia to avoid an embarrassing loss to D.C. and move into the final playoff position.
The striker bagged a late equalizer for his 11th goal of the season and first since June 1 as the Philadelphia Union salvaged a 1-1 draw at lowly D.C. United on Saturday.
United, which got a gorgeous first-half strike from Nick DeLeon, extended its winless stretch in league play to 10 matches. The Union, meanwhile, passed the New England Revolution for the fifth and final playoff position with two games left.
After creating a slew of chances early, United took the lead in the 36th minute. Collecting the ball 40 yards from goal, DeLeon seized the space in front of him before launching a long-range blast past Zac MacMath.
United nearly doubled the advantage two minutes later when Conor Doyle rang the post. And Philadelphia had a golden opportunity just before halftime as Kleberson buzzed a free kick just over.
D.C. nearly iced the game late when Doyle rounded MacMath, but the goalkeeper recovered and made a lunging intervention. Moments later at the other end, Bill Hamid came up with a big save on McInerney.
But McInerney got the last laugh in the 90th minute, running onto Kleberson's cross and nodding it home at the far post for his first goal in 954 minutes played.

Is your kid a reluctant learner?
Find out how to get your kid excited about being back at school. more
If it's your child who's the bully, chances are you'll find out through a teacher or fellow parent. It can be shattering as a parent to hear something like this about your child, but it's vital that you act rationally and immediately because while the victims of bullying can grow up to have lifelong issues, so can the perpetrators.
Here's a step-by-step guide to trying to stop your child bullying others.
According to research, children who are bullies are at risk of developing long-term problems with antisocial behaviour and have a higher risk of engaging in workplace harassment, child abuse, sexual harassment and substance abuse in later life. Some statistics suggest that even half of kids who bully have been bullied themselves.

Farm animal problem solving (Proceedings)
The majority of food animal veterinarians do their best to make the most appropriate decisions for their clients' livestock. But there are times when we simply don't know what the best decision is. Likewise, there are times when a "new" procedure or "new" product is suggested by the client or one of our colleagues that we are unaware of or have not tried. Problem solving requires the use of multiple sources to educate oneself about the particular problem. Ultimately, we would like to have scientific studies that document the solution. When scientific studies have not been done or have not solved the current dilemma, other resources should be investigated. These resources include: veterinary textbooks, medical textbooks, known experts in the field and known experts within our immediate work environment, on-line veterinary resources such as VIN (Veterinary Information Network), Cornell Consultant (good for differentials of diseases but also good because it lists references), list-serves such as AABP and AASRP (American Association of Small Ruminant Practitioners) can be especially helpful. The world-wide web has put information at our fingertips and various documents (extension publications and association publications) and information is readily available. Probably the least reliable resources are personal testimonials regarding methods or products, but sometimes this is all we get. No resource is infallible. Scientific studies can be misleading. Veterinary textbooks can and are wrong at times. What follows are real "problems" or issues that arose via treating/managing individual farm animal cases, via on-farm recommendations or calls from clients or other veterinarians.
Question 1. Is Mastoblast® H.P. efficacious for mastitis treatment or lowering SCC?
Short answer: Other than testimonials, no evidence of the product's efficaciousness could be found. No scientific studies published in peer-reviewed literature and no published studies that showed evidence for the product being effective in treating mastitis or lowering SCC could be found.To answer this question:
1. Google (or your preferred search engine) to find out about the product. I find out that it is a homeopathic formula for the treatment of mastitis in cows. It contains bryonia alba, carbo vegetabilis, Echinacea, laccaninum, lachesis, phytolacca decandra, ruta graveolens, silicea, sulphur, alcohol and distilled water. This of course leads to a whole bunch of organic items that I don't know anything about. The product is to be administered orally (or sprayed on the nose) @ 2 ml per head morning and evening for 10 days (although the directions vary somewhat depending on the site).....so cows are to be treated for 10 days, hmmm. Many clinical mastitis cases are clinically cured by 10 days with or without treatment (Roberson et al., 2004). Another website lists under warning: "for external use only". So being open-minded try to find scientific data.
2. Try Pubmed for scientific studies (others to try are NLM Gateway, ISI web of knowledge). No studies of Mastoblast come up.
3. Go back to Google and type in Mastoblast study: I can find testimonials easily. I can find literature from the company that mentions all the clinical trials and studies that have been performed. Although obtaining these articles was more trouble than I would expect most people to go through, our librarian was able to get a couple of proceedings papers (there were no published clinical trials or studies). One only says that "The incidence of mastitis cases have been reduced by using Arnica both orally and topically for bovine teat injuries" (Sheaffer, 1996a). Nothing else...no references or data. The other proceedings article contained an anecdotal account of how Mastoblast reduced the SCC in dairy herds (Sheaffer, 1996b). I found a patent document that actually included a 24-cow subclinical mastitis study on Mastoblast that was conducted at the University of Connecticut (SureChem, 2009). No actual data was presented. Results showed a significant effect for IgG1 only, yet the conclusion was that the actual incidence of mastitis in animals not receiving the homeopathic medication was much higher than those who received the homeopathic medication. This was a 60 day study and there were only 24 cows tota…. so I don't know what "much higher" really means.
4. Called the company to see where I could get their clinical trials. The company veterinarian was not in. I'm still waiting to be called back.

I'm aware it's harmful, but somehow drink or two with them seems better to me them spend my time all alone.

Moth wrote:I used to use intoxicants. Since becoming a Buddhist, I first gave up alcohol and then overtime all drugs. My friends still use intoxicants but respect me for my decision. If your friends will not hang out with you unless you indulge with them then they are likely not good friends, and as the Buddha says, isolation would be preferable. I can tell you with full confidence that maintaining Sila is a bliss far beyond anything an intoxicant can provide. Why? The bliss of intoxicants is impermanent, unsatisfying, and riddled with shame. Sila is something no one can take away from you. Also, if you believe in karma and vipaka, I for one would be afraid of using intoxicants, especially alcohol, as the Buddha specifically warned against it and the results it would ensure.
If you live in the West, most likely, you won't find a sincere fellow Dhamma practicer.
I lost many friends when I gave up drinking, partying, meat eating, womanizing, and etc.
However, I came into complete isolation when I began the Dhamma practice seriously.
I am surrounded by the Christians / non-religious hedonists and nobody that I know accept a practicing Buddhist, let alone the strictest orthodox Buddhist like myself.
Should one be depressed with this situation?
No way.
When I catch myself feeling sorry for myself, being so socially isolated as I am, I bring to mind how near-perfect my current situation is for the cultivation of mental calm, and stillness. The Buddha was always encouraging us to seek seclusion, so if we find ourselves alone, then rather than feeling sad or lonely, we should be glad. The only thing stopping us, then, is our own attachment and desire for companionship (yes, I still suffer from this, too, but I'm working on it).

DailyDirt: Robots Inspired By Nature
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
Biomimicry for robot design is a fascinating area of research, and all kinds of interesting robots are being developed that almost look like natural creatures. Here are just a few more examples of machines that are adopting biologically-inspired features.
- Robot researchers in Switzerland are copying the physiology of bats, grasshoppers and locusts to create robots that are more efficient at moving around. Swarms of these kinds of robots are going to be pretty scary looking... [url]
- Lockheed Martin is developing an unmanned aircraft called the Samarai and looks like a foot-long maple seed -- with propellers attached. These remote-controlled aircraft can hover in place and come equipped with video cameras for surveillance missions. [url]
- The exoskeleton of an African desert scorpion isn't smooth, but covered with microscopic bumps that protect it from sandblasting winds. This discovery could help helicopters fly in the desert for longer periods of time, since adding some grooves to smooth steel surfaces can reduce erosion by up to 20%. [url]

Aardsma apologizes to Peralta for PED tweet
JUPITER, Fla. -- David Aardsma had several introductions to make on Wednesday upon walking into the Cardinals' spring complex after signing a Minor League deal with the organization. There was one in particular, though, that he wanted to make right away.
Aardsma said he sought out Cardinals shortstop Jhonny Peralta so he could explain a pair of tweets he made from his account (@TheDA53) shortly after word leaked that the Cardinals were finalizing an agreement with Peralta on a four-year, $53 million agreement in November. Peralta was coming off a season in which he served a 50-game suspension for his connections to Biogenesis, an anti-aging clinic in Florida that allegedly supplied players with performance-enhancing drugs.
Aardsma tweeted the following on Nov. 23, 2013:
"Apparently getting suspended for PED's means you get a raise. What's stopping anyone from doing it? #weneedtomakeachange"
"I had 2 major surgeries in 5 months and made it back clean, nothing [ticks] me off more than guys that cheat and get raises for doing so."
On Wednesday, he explained himself to Peralta and apologized for the knee-jerk reaction.
"I made a point to talk to him and really find out about him," Aardsma said. "It seems from everything that I've heard that he's a great clubhouse guy, a good guy to be around.
"It was making a really quick comment without really thinking about it. ... I'm not the judge. I'm not the jury. And I shouldn't be the executioner, either. It's something I should have thought about a little bit more."
Aardsma said that Peralta was "very receptive" to the conversation.

DETROIT - Residents on Detroit's west side are angry because trash has been piling up outside an empty home near the corner of Lenore and Margareta streets.
Gabe Davie, whose sister lives on Lenore Street, said he could not believe it.
"This is just bad. I was wondering when they were going to do something about it," Davie said.
Edgar Parks is a neighbor who is angry about the trash that keeps piling up day after day.
"It goes all the way around, even to the back yard. This is really bad. You can't even walk down the sidewalk. This is a nice community. We got kids, You don't want them to come out. You are afraid they will go over there. You don't know if you will find needles in there or rats going to bite them," parks said.
Local 4 found Kyle Johnston taking bags of trash out of the house. Johnston said he was homeless and the owner of the house as paying him $10 to $15 a week to take out the trash from inside the home.
"All this stuff was in the house. The guy who bought the house is having me clean it up He told me to put it out front," Johnston said.
When Johnston pointed out the owner driving by in a pickup truck, the truck pulled away before Local 4 could ask questions.
Johnston was apologetic to the area residents.
"I am sorry, I am just listening to what he told me to do."
Edgar Parks is still angry about the situation.
"We live next to a dump and it shouldn't be like this," Parks said.
Local 4 reported the situation to Detroit city agencies, and was told something would be done to clean up the mess.

When it comes to banking, I usually do as much as I can online, whether it be checking balances, transferring funds or paying bills. According to CNBC, some of the largest US banks like Citi will be launching mobile banking services so that customers can access their bank account info from the convenience of their cell phones. These mobile services will include all of the standard features of online banking including transfers, bill payments, etc.
I remember the day when my bank introduced debit cards and eventually online banking. I'm sure that mobile banking will be just as popular and well received as these advancements.
How many of you would consider doing your banking over your cell phones? Would you have security concerns? Leave all your comments below!

Don Gallagher '58
Attorney, Entrepreneur, Sailor, Pilot, Travel Guide, Philanthropist
A full life and a full plate.
Don Gallagher has always thrived on taking action and staying active. As a young Southwestern graduate, he established a successful law practice, eventually becoming the busiest domestic relations attorney in Los Angeles County and playing a key role in the drafting of California's landmark "no-fault" divorce law. He then moved into real estate law, developing a large clientele of the major savings and loan corporations in southern California, and established a real estate syndicate of his own. Among his properties were two airport facilities, and by then, he had earned his commercial pilot's license in addition to being an award-winning sailor. In the 1980s, Don branched out into importing and manufacturing a variety of artists' supplies and other consumer and industrial products and developed a close relationship with Chinese trading companies and manufacturers. It wasn't long before he was leading regular customized trade tours to the far reaches of the Asian continent.
Don's secret for success is simply to "be honest, work hard, and gain more knowledge about what you are doing than anyone else." He also attributes much of his achievements to his legal education, which he explains "gives you the ability to talk to people from all walks of life - and to 'cut to the chase.'" That feeling of appreciation and pride in his alma mater has prompted Don to provide for Southwestern in his estate plans.
He says, "By including Southwestern in my estate plans, I know I will be making a difference in the lives of deserving students into the future. I benefited tremendously from my legal education for which I am very grateful, and this is a wonderful way to 'pay it forward.'"
For Don Gallagher, including Southwestern in his estate plans was a natural extension of his career and legacy.

BYU shook off three losses on its trip to Baton Rouge to pound LSU's bullpen and give the No. 3 Tigers their first loss of the season 9-4 Saturday night in Alex Box Stadium.
The Cougars' No. 9 hitter, Brennon Anderson, broke the game open with a three-run homer in a five-run sixth and added a two-run single later.
BYU (3-5) blew a ninth-inning lead to lose to LSU 6-5 on Thursday and scored a total of three runs in losses to Southeastern Louisiana on Friday and Saturday.
"Thank goodness we got one out of it," said BYU starter Mark Anderson (1-0), who gave up three hits and three runs in 6.1 innings. "We came down hoping to get three or four, and luckily, we got one. And we got it from the team that we wanted it from. We came down wanting LSU."
LSU (5-1) and SLU (5-1), which beat BYU 3-2 Saturday, will resume Friday's suspended game at 1 p.m. Sunday.
The Cougars, who entered the final game batting .231, found their offense, thanks primarily to the bottom of the order. The last four hitters in the lineup combined for eight of the nine RBIs.
"Against LSU the first night, we had 11 strikeouts, and the bottom five of our lineup had eight of those strikeouts," BYU coach Mike Littlewood said. "So we really put the pressure on those guys to make some adjustments."
It paid off against reliever Nate Fury (1-1) in the sixth as BYU broke from a 1-1 tie.
After one out, Jaycob Brugman and Brock Whitney singled and Kelton Caldwell doubled home Brugman. Bret Lopez's sacrifice fly made it 3-1 before Fury walked Dakota Hernandez. Anderson then ripped an inside fastball for a three-run homer to left for a 6-1 lead, finishing Fury, who gave up four hits and five runs in one inning.
"Brennon Anderson came through like a champ today," Littlewood said. "He started the season hitting second in the lineup and he struggled so we moved him to the nine hole. He's a really good hitter but he's a freshman and he acted like a freshman for the first couple of games. He's starting to grow up a little bit."
Anderson said he's more comfortable batting ninth.
"It gives me an opportunity to see the pitcher a little longer and also to get more fastballs hitting in the nine spot," Anderson said.
BYU increased the lead to 7-1 against Will LaMarche in the seventh. Hayden Nielsen led off with a walk and Adam Law followed with a double to left. Brugman followed with the Cougars' third sacrifice fly of the game.
LSU cut into the deficit in the seventh. With one out, Chris Sciambra was hit by a pitch and Mark Laird singled, finishing Mark Anderson, a three-year letterman who called the outing "probably the best game I've pitched in college."
Derek Speigner relieved and threw a wild pitch before Alex Bregman hit a two-run double off the wall in left.
Brennon Anderson's two-run single against Hunter Newman made it 9-3 in the eighth, and Mason Katz hit a sacrifice fly for the Tigers in the ninth.
"We've been real close the last couple games," Anderson said. "We've been one big hit away. We had the opportunity to get big hits and we capitalized."
LSU took a 1-0 lead in the first when Sciambra drew a leadoff walk, advanced on a grounder and a walk and scored on Katz's single to right.
Bonvillain sailed through the first four innings, allowing just a single and striking out four. Then he lost command in the fifth.
Whitney led off with a single to right and Caldwell doubled him to third. Bonvillain hit Lopez with a 3-2 pitch to load the bases.
Hernandez's sacrifice fly tied the score before Bonvillain walked Anderson to load the bases again. Jacob Hannemann hit into a forceout at the plate and Fury came on the get a grounder from Nielsen to end it.
"Bonvillain gave us four really good innings," LSU coach Paul Mainieri said, "then he just kind of hit the wall."
So did the Tigers, who will be back on the field about 16 hours after this one ended.
The suspended game is scoreless and will resume in the bottom of the first with Katz facing a 1-1 count with Tigers runners on first and third.
Ticket stubs from Friday's game are good for admittance to Sunday's resumption.
"We've got to turn the page on this one quickly and come ready to play," Sciambra said. "The key is to not let this loss roll into tomorrow."

An Inviting, Traditional Adobe Kitchen With Santa Fe Style
Instead of replacing the cabinets, Donovan painted the existing ones white, and to save on budget, he kept the floors. But he did decide to replace the all-black appliances. "They just don't work in Florida," he says.
Donovan replaced the ceiling fan with two pendant lights because they "give me concentrated light just where I need it for chopping and arranging food on plates." The lights look a lot sleeker than the bulky fan, too.

Fredi: Quick turnaround 'keeps us grounded'
CHICAGO -- Three hours before a game, a Major League clubhouse usually is bustling with activity, but the visitors' clubhouse at Wrigley Field was nearly empty at noon CT Friday for a 3 p.m. start.
The Braves had a night game in New York on Thursday and didn't arrive at their hotel until about 2:30 a.m. Nearly all the players opted for the late bus -- arriving at the stadium just before 1 p.m. -- and the team didn't take batting practice.
The Cubs don't play night games on Fridays, necessitating the quick turnaround.
"It kind of reminded us of the old Minor League days," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "It keeps us grounded a little bit. Sometimes you get spoiled in the big leagues. I think it's good to come in at 2:30 in the morning and crank it up for a day game the next day. We used to do that in the Minor Leagues all the time."
Actually, it could have been worse. Until this season, the Cubs had an agreement with the city to play Friday day games at 1:20 p.m.
"That might have been even better," Gonzalez said. "Give us a little more of a reminder. Usually [in the Minors], you're on a bus for 12 hours and you come in at 3 in the morning."
