At ice hockey camp two summers ago, goalie Beth Potter slammed her head into the ice when she dived to block a shot, sustaining a concussion with aftereffects that trouble her to this day.
Young athletes like Ms. Potter, now 18, are the focus of new efforts to improve the care of concussions in children and teens, who are more vulnerable than adults to long-term physical, cognitive and emotional problems as a result of the brain injury. Medical centers including Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, N.H., Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center are offering new programs to better educate school nurses, coaches, athletic directors, parents, and pediatricians about steps to take to avoid repeat trauma and complications.
New research is also leading to a better understanding of concussion, which occurs when a sudden movement or direct force to the head sets brain tissue in motion within the skull. Studies show, for example, that each patient may experience concussion differently, and some patients are more genetically predisposed to sustaining a concussion. Tests are helping identify those patients who may have protracted recovery periods.
"Concussion is a very common injury and the good news is that most people get better by themselves, but there is a group who won't do as well," says Michael Lipton, associate director of the Gruss Magnetic Resonance Research Center at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Bronx, N.Y.
Dr. Lipton and others have identified a biomarker in the brain with a special MRI technique that may predict long-term prognosis after a concussion, which he says could help identify "who needs to be watched more carefully." More details on the technique are due to be released at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America next week.
Most states now require students who have had concussions to be kept from sports until cleared by a medical professional. But experts warn that physicians may not be aware of the latest approaches to managing concussions or adhere to protocols for assessing patients and gradually returning them to school and play.
Estimates of the frequency of sports-related concussions in the U.S. run as high as 3.8 million a year. Among children and adolescents, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, emergency-department visits for sports- and recreation-related brain injuries rose by 60% over the last decade. The CDC established a working group in July to create a set of guidelines for use in doctors' offices and emergency departments within the next two years.
In a survey of 145 emergency and primary-care doctors published last week in the journal Pediatrics, researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia found doctors didn't consistently follow assessment guidelines or prescribe proper discharge instructions to concussion patients. These instructions outline such steps as rest, freedom from activity and stimuli such as TV and videogames, and gradual return to schoolwork and play.
Earlier this year, Children's Hospital trained more than 100 providers in its network in concussion management and assessment. "We have to be very careful and rigorous in the way we evaluate and manage pediatric patients," says Mark Zonfrillo, lead author of the study.
The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, which works with physicians and athletic trainers to identify and manage sports-related concussions, offers physical therapy to restore visual function, stamina and balance. Experts there helped develop a computerized neurocognitive test called Impact—for Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing—which measures verbal and visual memory, reaction time and impulse control. More schools now offer such tests to athletes in contact sports before they start play. Cognitive function then can be compared with tests administered after a concussion.
Michael Collins, director of the UPMC sports medicine concussion program, says if Impact scores fall below a certain level following an injury, there is an 85% chance recovery will take longer. "Those kids have to be managed very carefully," says Dr. Collins, who is also a member of the CDC guidelines working group. One risk is post-concussion syndrome, which includes chronic difficulties such as mood changes, nausea and problems with sleep, thinking, memory and attention.
A second injury sustained during recovery from concussion can result in second-impact syndrome, which can cause brain swelling, bleeding and permanent disability or death, warns Susanna Gadsby, the nurse-coordinator who oversees Dartmouth-Hitchcock's sports concussion program and its workshops. "Our aim is to help kids get back to play safely and often just pulling a kid from the field and making them a couch potato for a while is the answer," she says.
Rest without TV and texting helped Ms. Potter recover after her concussion on the ice. In the first two days after her injury, she felt listless and foggy. Her mother, Holly Potter, says it was clear something was seriously wrong when Beth put a handful of pasta into a pot without water on the stove, turned on the burner and walked away. Her doctor recommended rest in a cool, dark room with no stimuli. She began to feel better, though at school she found it hard to follow her teachers. Over the next five months, she combined a gradual return to school with periods of rest and solitude, and physical therapy to help regain balance.
Ms. Gadsby at Dartmouth-Hitchcock administered follow-up Impact tests to compare with a baseline test Ms. Potter had before her concussion. Now a senior at Hartford High School in Vermont, she has been able to return to playing hockey, but still finds herself occasionally struggling to express her thoughts. She has words of caution for her peers: "I know how hard it is to be told you can't play, but don't be upset, and realize they are doing it for your own good if you might have a concussion," she says.
In the past, some doctors advocated removing children from athletics after repeated concussions. However, "if we manage concussions wisely and safely and make sure patients have all their faculties, we shouldn't have to keep kids from sports," says Keith Loud, section chief of general pediatrics at Dartmouth-Hitchcock.
At Hanover High School near Dartmouth last fall, there were six concussions diagnosed in a two-week period during football, soccer and field-hockey season, says athletic director Michael Jackson.
Hanover is one of several high schools and colleges participating in a study at Dartmouth Medical School measuring the impact of blows to the head in athletes. Using sensors implanted in helmets, they hope to better understand, among other things, what kinds of impacts cause concussions and "what it is about a particular impact that gives on person a concussion, while the other bounces up as if nothing happened," says lead researcher Thomas McAllister.
Concussion Myths and Facts
• Myth: Contact sports are the only ones that put athletes at risk of concussion.
• Fact: Concussions can occur in any sport or recreational activity—even ballet—if there is a violent movement or blow to the head or body that causes the brain to move rapidly inside the skull.
• Myth: You must lose consciousness or black out to have a concussion.
• Fact: Only a small number of concussions involve loss of consciousness.
• Myth: Concussions affect everyone the same way.
• Fact: Genetic differences may account for susceptibility. A history of migraines and weak neck muscles are associated with injury, and girls are more vulnerable than boys.
• Myth: Helmets in football and other activities can protect players.
• Fact: Helmets protect against skull fractures, but don't always protect against the forces that cause the brain to traumatically move within the skull.
• Myth: You need to repeatedly wake up someone who has had a concussion.
• Fact: Rest is important. Check on concussion victims but allow them to rest.
• Myth: The effects of a concussion are short-lived.
• Fact: Concussions can cause cumulative damage to neurons and structural damage to the brain.

Hi, I have never sent a message and took me a few to figure this out. I would love to join a group of people that quilt. I cant believe your so close . Thanks,Teresa
Thanks Claire! I finished that table runner about 2 years ago. Here is the link in my completed album.
claire I posted the pineapple casserole recipe for you and the roasted asparagus one too under the Easter dinner post the Kennsinton started.
1 Thanks
Claire Hallman thanked for this post
I have no doubt your quilting will be fantastic! Go for it! And share photos!...and isn't it nice being able to do whatever you want on your quilts!?!? Thanks for the nice comments too!
- Angie
Claire, your cat quilt is stunning! I think you did a great job on the cable in the border - how did you find using the walking foot? I've tried it with both the w.f. and fmq. and thought they were both kind of hard, going around the cable curves...guess it takes practice, but yours looks awesome! You are so lucky to have an embroidery machine - you can do such cute designs! One is on my wishlist but they are quite expensive so I'm not holding my breath! I loved seeing the photos- tfs!!!!!
Claire! Your quilts are gorgeous! I love the wholecloth quilt and the snowmen but am just PINING after the pussy cat quilt! What a lovely, fun thing and how NEAT!
1 Thanks
Claire Hallman thanked for this post
Hi Claire - So what do I do? Just go to the sewing forum site and say that I'm looking for someone to digitize an embroidery design for me. If you're willing let me know your email address and I'll send you the design? It feels weird to ask for someone's services without expecting to pay them.
Hi Claire. I commented on your lavender quilt. I just love that pattern and have never seen it before. Care to share the name of it and maybe where I could find it?

Scholastic Takes a Trip to Tickety Town
Scholastic has acquired the publishing rights to Tickety Toc, an animated preschool TV show from Zodiak Rights that airs on Nick Jr. in the U.S. "We first saw it at Toy Fair in 2012," said Gayley Avery, director of licensed publishing at Scholastic. "It was one of the things, out of the many that we saw there, that really stood out to us. The art is vibrant, it's funny, and it's about problem-solving. It's really imaginative and there's lots of fun in every episode."
She noted that Scholastic's licensing portfolio for preschoolers, which includes Peppa Pig and Lalaloopsy, was skewed toward girls. "This is a nice boy/girl split," she explained. The main characters are a set of twins, brother and sister.
The first group of four books, debuting in January 2014, will include an 8x8, a sticker storybook, a board book for the young end of the demographic range (age 2) and a picture clue reader for the older end (4–5). The books will launch simultaneously in all channels, including Scholastic's clubs and fairs.
Tickety Toc is represented for licensing by Established Brands in the U.S. and Studio Licensing in Canada. Among the other licensees on board to date are Anchor Bay for home entertainment and Just Play for toys; Scholastic is in talks with both about potential cross-promotions. Cupcake Digital is the licensee for enhanced e-books.
VIZ Enters Ben 10's Omniverse
VIZ Kids has acquired the print and digital graphic novel rights to Ben 10: Omniverse, the most recent incarnation of Cartoon Network's Ben 10 franchise.
"Ben 10 as a franchise is huge," said Beth Kawasaki, senior editorial director at VIZ Kids. The original series debuted in 2005, followed by Ben 10: Ultimate Alien, in which Ben aged a few years, and now Ben 10: Omniverse, which travels back and forth between his 16-year-old self's time period and earlier versions. "There are good characters, great stories, and lots of transformations," Kawasaki said. "We can go back and forth, as they do on the show. There will be some surprise appearances from Ben's past. The stories appeal to new fans, but there's something extra for readers who already are fans."
In addition to the storytelling possibilities, the series is well known among its target audience, boys 8–11. "Cartoon Network promotes it constantly," Kawasaki explained. "The show is on TV all the time. The toys are everywhere." There is a strong following on the Internet for both games and video clips, and on Facebook as well.
Noted writers and illustrators, including B. Clay Moore, Cory Levine, Joel Enos, Alan Brown, and Albert Carreres will work on the first three volumes, which will be released in October 2013 (timed to the start of Ben 10: Omniverse's second season), January 2014, and April 2014. "These are top-notch people," said Kawasaki. "They really got the universe immediately, and they have a following from other series.
And Ben 10 has its own following, Kawasaki said, calling it "one of those instantly recognizable properties. When we announced Ben 10 to our sales team, we got a little round of applause. It's great when you have that shorthand."
Angry Little Girls Show Attitude
While attending college in Berkeley in 1994, Lela Lee created a comic strip called Angry Little Asian Girl, featuring a character who was an alter ego of sorts. Eventually Lee created an ethnically diverse group of additional characters, renamed the property Angry Little Girls, and began to sell merchandise, first from the trunk of her car and then through dozens of licensees. In the late 2000s, she put her merchandising efforts on hold as she focused on developing a television series. It will debut on Mnet, a cable TV channel focusing on Korean music (K-Pop) and culture, this summer.
"The stories are a cross between South Park and The Simpsons, but for girls. There's a lot of attitude," said Lisa Streff, executive v-p of consumer products at SMC Entertainment, the property's newly appointed global licensing agent. "But the art style is more like a Hello Kitty or Peanuts. With the TV series coming on, we thought it was a great time to reintroduce the brand." Licensed products will feature the classic art style; TV-based graphics are expected to follow later.
Publishing has been a key component of the program. Abrams and Running Press have been on board since 2005, Abrams for four comic strip compilations and Running Press for mini-books and kits, the most recent published this spring. The brand also has an avid social media presence.
The first five licensees signed by SMC, for t-shirts and other apparel, plush, calendars, designer bags, and novelty products, will be announced at the June Licensing Expo, and other items for women 13–30, from loungewear and jewelry to room decor and cosmetics, are planned.
Superheroes Support Education
Following an afterschool pilot in San Diego last fall, ABDO Publishing has officially launched its Reading Is a Superpower (RISP) literacy program, making available to classroom teachers and libraries educational materials such as writing exercises, vocabulary lists, discussion questions, and more, centered around the licensed Marvel and Star Wars graphic novels that ABDO distributes into the school market.
Feedback from the pilot program led ABDO to bulk up some elements in the offering, including adding more movement and fitness, writing, arts and crafts, STEM, and shared reading, according to Dan Verdick, ABDO's v-p marketing and communications.
Educational materials focused on licensed characters are especially relevant to after-school programs, where "disguised learning" is key, according to Verdick, who notes that the RISP program also appeals to ELL students, children along the autism spectrum, and boys who may not take to reading, and can be used both in classroom and library settings. The afterschool program confirmed that kids and teens like to create superheroes, their environments, and villains, he said. "They don't see it as a writing assignment. It was encouraging to see what incredible creativity and engagement they had. The kids really got into it."
Separately, ABDO has added two more licenses to its assortment of library-bound graphic novels. In fall 2013, it will begin distributing eight Jurassic Park titles based on the 1990s films and four titles tied to the 2009 and 2013 Star Trek movies. IDW is the original publisher for both.

Getting to the stage I need to select an interior floor color for hardwood/vinyl planking for my house.... and butting heads with my fiancees preferences...
She think it should be a driftwood grey type look because that's an in look and neutral... and she thinks light natural wood color is dated and out of style... I see it more as classic, timeless... but more to the point the grey flooring is real dull, flat, lifeless and completely lack any feeling of 'warmth' to me. It's a very 'cool' look.
I like:
She likes:
(Give or take)
I'm so frustrated and conflicted.... I know she doesn't really feel like the house is 'hers' but 'mine' (that she inherited because I had started planning it with my past ex gf before her, even though I explained the house was mainly driven by my wants/needs around the wheelchair... so she look at it as 'mine' but that I'm trying to mold it to what she wants too). So I'm trying to concede design elements like I re-org'd the kitchen/half bathroom and laundry room to her pref.... I've told her you pick the furniture.... and I'm trying to find a compromise on colors... but we really seem to not like the same thing and kinda dislike the others like fairly strongly.
I don't want to say "I'm paying to bill so I override you" but I'm not a fan of that flat cool look... I like warm feeling brighter light wood. Our contractor is siding with her pref... my Mom who I've always consulted on design/color choices sees it my way.... so that ain't helping....... so frustrated & conflicted.......
Suggestions on what to do?

Hey what's up everyone and welcome back to DragoArt.com. I will start the day with a lesson on another Pokemon character that is very popular with avid Pokemon fans. To start the day I will show you "how to draw Luxray step by step". Luxray is an awesome looking Pokemon that I have been fond of for some time. It is mainly black in color with patches of a turquoise blue on it's muzzle, back legs and some of the under belly. This type of species falls in the electric type category of Pokemon. The look and style of the character design, resembles a lot like a lion. I know there is a lot of Pokemon species that are genderless but, this type of Pokemon however comes in both male and female form. The female Luxray have shorter manes than the males. Some of the Luxray's abilities are pretty cool too. For instance, they have perfect eyesight. Their eyesight is so extraordinary, they can see right through objects just like an x-ray can see through our bodies. Although they look adorable and pretty, the Luxray are a very viscous Pokemon species, and they are also very predatory. I know this may seem like an impossible Pokemon to train, but if trained right you will end up with a loyal, and faithful species that is very protective indeed. I love the way this character came out and I know you guys will love learning "how to draw Luxray" too. I will be back in a few with more drawing fun. In the mean time tackle this tutorial, and when you are done upload your work so others can check out how you did. Peace out peeps and happy drawing.

The January meeting was the final one chaired by Ben Bernanke
Some policy makers at the US Federal Reserve sought an early hike in its benchmark interest rate, after real market rates had risen higher, minutes from their January meeting have shown.
The minutes said "a few" saw it appropriate to raise the Fed's rate "relatively soon", compared with a consensus that still has the Fed holding off a rate rise until next year.
However members of the authority plans to change guidance for the path of interest rates soon, according to the minutes, as unemployment figures fall towards the threshold for an increase.
The Fed announced a $ 10 billion reduction in its bond-buying programme at the January meeting, bringing the scale of the scheme to $ 65 billion from this month.
The meeting was the last one to be chaired by Ben Bernanke, who has been succeeded by Janet Yellen.

Groveland playground dedicated to day care crash victim Lily Quintus
4-year-old killed in crash at KinderCare to be honored at ceremony
GROVELAND, Fla. – A newly rebuilt daycare center in Groveland will honor the girl who lost her life on April 10.
[PHOTOS: Playground built to honor Lily]
Workers spent Friday afternoon building the new playground at the Kiddieland Academy in Groveland, which will be dedicated to Lily Quintus, whose father works nearby as a firefighter.
"I hate to call it a memorial; it's a gift of love to the Quintus family," said Dianne Garvis, who is spearheading the playground's construction.
Quintus' father, along with other community members and donations from The Home Depot, have taken part in rebuilding the academy.
"It's not going to be a sad place, it's going to be a happy place," said Garvis. "That's what children are supposed to be. And this is a way of letting the family know that the community is heartbroken for them."
There will also be a dedication ceremony on Saturday to honor Quintus, and the ceremony will include performances by other children.
Mark Nation, attorney for the Quintus family, told Local 6 on Saturday the Quintus family has not been contacted about the playground's dedication. He said the family and the Groveland Fire Department had nothing to do with the fundraising for the project.
He also said the Quintus family was considering dedicating their own park in Lily's honor.
Construction on the playground comes one day after troopers said the driver who crashed into the day care center had no alcohol or drugs in his system.
One of the boys who was admitted to Arnold Palmer Hospital with serious injuries was released on Wednesday.
Three-year-old June DeCaldzada is still in the Intensive Care Unit. Her mother tells Local 6 she is making progress but doctors say she will be in the hospital for at least another month.

It's just the words of the reporter, not even directly quoting anyone, so I wouldn't put any weight on it. The reporter has to cover lots of topics, it's doubtful he knows the exact implication of saying "Anatolian farmers".
|Europe Travel Guide

|Eupedia Top > Eupedia Forum & Japan Forum
From here: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/...ropean-farmers
Anybody else as confused as I am? I thought there were only two remaining camps - the Southern origin associated with the source of Steppe CHG and the indigenous Northern Steppe origin. But now, it looks like Max Planck is seriously proposing an origin with farmers.Migrations of some Maykop into Yamnaya territory, accompanied by the transfer of knowledge and language, still happened, Wang's team suspects. Occasional migrations north through the Caucasus to Yamnaya grasslands fits a scenario in which the ancient homeland of Indo-European language lay among Anatolian farmers, the researchers speculate. If they're right, they have resolved one of the thorniest issues in the study of languages. But the long-debated origins of Indo-European tongues remain uncertain.
It's just the words of the reporter, not even directly quoting anyone, so I wouldn't put any weight on it. The reporter has to cover lots of topics, it's doubtful he knows the exact implication of saying "Anatolian farmers".
I just got a ten second vortex in my head were every knowledge i had from the subject and this max planck conclusion mingled and created in my head a dramatic lost of comprehension about the world and everything. But i'm happy to be alive to see the future.
Btw, " Yamnaya herders from western Asia ".
[Deleted because people probably don't know what a joke is]
Does ANYBODY have a clue how Max Planck can believe this? I align with Harvard and Reich pretty well, they don't seem to believe in ridiculous things such as IVC spoke Indo-Aryan, Danubian farmers spoke Centum IE etc. Do they have some data we don't to lead them in that direction?
Can we not all have jokes about George Soros? ;D
I wonder where in the study it says Yamnaya inherited 10 % to 18 % from 'eastern European farmers'. And to what extent the DNA of those 'eastern European farmers' differs from the regular neolithic European?
The implications are pretty big though, as Linear A has loads of similarities with certain aspects of Danubian scripts IIRC. Perhaps it's a Pelasgian thing - but Vinca is MUCH older than Minoan
This is a total speculation though and may be complete nonsense.
Reply: We're afraid that this might be a misunderstanding. There is indeed very limited gene flow between the Caucasus and the steppe groups (apart from the examples highlighted). However, we have based our PIE-related speculations on the observation that the CHG/Iranian (green) ancestry component is increasing already during the Eneolithic north of the Caucasus. This led us to propose that this might be the actual 'tracer dye' of an early PIE spread, which could then also accommodate the spread of PIE south of the mountain range where this ancestry component also rises in frequency resulting in a relatively homogenised dual ancestry (Anatolian + Iranian farming-related ancestry) in Chalcolithic times (see also brown arrow in Figure 2).

SEC505: Securing Windows with the Critical Security Controls
Mon, April 7 - Sat, April 12, 2014
You have the best instructors available. Other training never comes close and is a waste of money.
If you think you know Windows, take this Windows security class - your review of your own skills and understanding will be challenged, for the better!
How can we deal with pass-the-hash attacks, token abuse, administrator account compromise, and the lateral movement of hackers inside our networks? How do we actually implement the Critical Security Controls on Windows in a large environment? How can we significantly reduce the client-side exploits which lead to malware infections? These are tough problems, but we tackle them in course SEC505.
While forensics and incident response are great for detection and remediation, the goal of this course is to prevent those infections in the first place (after all, first things first). Hacking tools are fun, but having a bunch of hacking tools doesn't help in securing a large Active Directory network against their use. We need different tools to implement security, and these tools have to scale without spending a fortune, such as Group Policy and PowerShell.
Learning PowerShell is probably the single best new skill for the careers of Windows administrators, especially with the trend towards cloud computing. Because most of your competition lacks scripting skills, it's a great way to make your resume stand out. This course devotes an entire day to PowerShell, but you don't need any prior scripting experience, we'll start with the basics.
SEC505 will also prepare you for the GIAC Certified Windows Security Administrator (GCWN) certification exam to help prove your security skills and Windows security expertise. The GCWN certification counts towards getting a Master's Degree in information security from the SANS Technology Institute (www.sans.edu) and satisfies the Department of Defense 8570 computing environment (CE) requirement too.
Please bring a virtual machine running Windows Server 2012 R2 to the training for hands-on practice. You can get a free evaluation version of Windows Server from Microsoft's web site (just do a search on "site:microsoft.com Server 2012 R2 evaluation"). You can use Hyper-V, VMware, VirtualBox, or any other virtual machine software you wish.
This is a fun course and a real eye-opener even for Windows administrators with years of experience. If you wish, you can get the PowerShell scripts now for the course from http://cyber-defense.sans.org/blog/ (go to the Downloads link). All tools are open source and in the public domain.

SEC505.1: Windows Operating System and Applications Hardening
Jason Fossen
Mon Apr 7th, 2014
The best analogy for modern network penetration is biological warfare. A vulnerable client is exploited through weak software and social engineering to install the hacker's malware. The malware opens an SSL command-and-control channel back to the attacker. This channel is used to control the initial "Typhoid Mary" computer to infect other vulnerable systems and to exfiltrate valuable data (or to destroy it). When you add stealth, self-updating features, worm-like mobility, and corporate/government sponsorship to the malware, you've got an Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) situation. You're in trouble.
We don't just want to detect hackers and malware; we want to try to prevent the case-zero compromise to begin with. Prevention comes first, and then detection and remediation come afterwards. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Today's course is on prevention through Windows operating system and applications hardening. The aim is to try to deny hackers and malware that initial foothold inside the network, because once they're in, they're hard to clean out.
We start by choosing malware-resistant software and Windows operating systems, then we regularly update that software, limit what software users can run, and then configure that software so that its exploitable features are disabled or at least restricted to work-only purposes. Nothing is guaranteed, of course, but what if you could reduce your malware infection rate by more than half? What if your next penetration test wasn't just an exercise in embarrassment?
The trick is hardening Windows in a way that is cost-effective, scalable, and with minimal user impact. In this course we'll look at tools like EMET and Group Policy, security templates, WSUS, and SCWCMD.EXE to hopefully make it easier. In today's course and during the week, we'll see how to implement many of the Critical Security Controls.
CPE/CMU Credits: 6

SEC505.2: High-Value Targets & Restricting Administrative Compromise
Jason Fossen
Tue Apr 8th, 2014
Today's course continues the theme of resisting malware and APT adversaries, but with a special focus on securing the keys to the kingdom: Administrative Power. If a member of the Domain Admins group is compromised, the entire network is lost. How can we better prevent the compromise of administrative accounts and contain the harm when they do get compromised? What can we do about pass-the-hash and token abuse attacks? Remember, as a network administrator, you are a high-value target and your adversaries will try to take over your user account and to infect the computers you use at work (and at home).
Hackers also love it when "regular" users are members of the local Administrators group on their computers because it makes it easier to compromise those computers and to then move laterally to other machines. We will talk about what's so dangerous about the Administrators group, how to get users out of that group while still allowing them to get their work done, and, if we just can't get users out of Administrators, then how to make User Account Control (UAC) less annoying to them...and us.
We will also see how to delegate authority in Active Directory (AD). Every object in AD has a set of permissions and audit settings. We don't have to dump everyone in the IT department into the Domain Admins group, we can delegate to others the power to perform tasks like resetting passwords, joining computers to the domain, and managing the attributes used by Dynamic Access Control.
Finally, patch management is critically important for securing a Windows environment, but patch management can be expensive, hard and tedious. So we will also talk about how to make patching Microsoft and third-party software easier, especially on BYOD and mobile devices outside the local network.

SEC505.3: Windows PKI, BitLocker, and Secure Boot
Jason Fossen
Wed Apr 9th, 2014
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is not an optional security service anymore. Windows Server includes a complete built-in PKI for managing certificates and making their use transparent to users. You can be your own private Certification Authority (CA) and generate as many certificates as you want at no extra charge. It's all centrally managed through Group Policy.
Digital certificates play an essential role in Windows security: IPSec, BitLocker, S/MIME, SSL/TLS, smart cards, script signing, etc. They all use digital certificates. Everything needed to roll out a smart card solution, for example, is included with Windows except for the cards and readers themselves, and generic cards are available in bulk for cheap. You might already have a smart card built into your motherboard as a TPM chip.
As more and more of our servers are pushed up to cloud hosting providers, and as more of our devices become mobile, then certificate authentication and encryption will become more necessary. Even our BYOD tablets and phones will eventually need certificates.
We also have to encrypt our laptops and portable drives to stay in compliance, but why spend a fortune on third-party products when BitLocker is built into Windows already? BitLocker is manageable through Group Policy and from the command line. BitLocker has automatic encryption key archival features for recovery, requires little or no user training, and can be used to encrypt portable USB drives.
If you have a TPM chip in your motherboard, it can help BitLocker to detect rootkits, but a TPM is not required for BitLocker. Even better, with UEFI firmware you could also use UEFI Secure Boot to help detect bootkits and other malware too.

SEC505.4: IPSec, Windows Firewall, DNS, and Wireless
Jason Fossen
Thu Apr 10th, 2014
IPSec is not just for VPNs. IPSec can authenticate users in Active Directory to implement share permissions for TCP and UDP ports based on the user's global group memberships. IPSec can also encrypt packet payloads to keep data secure. Imagine configuring the Windows Firewall on your servers and tablets to only permit access to RPC or SMB ports if 1) the client has a local IP address, 2) the client is authenticated by IPSec to be a member of the domain, and 3) the packets are all encrypted with AES. This is not only possible, but is actually relatively easy to deploy with Group Policy. We will see exactly how to do this in seminar.
For defense in depth, we can't rely on just our perimeter firewalls anymore. Many of our devices are mobile, so they aren't protected by our perimeter firewalls anyway. You don't need to purchase third-party host-based firewalls anymore like we did for Windows XP. The new Windows Firewall is a vast improvement and can be managed through Group Policy. For BYOD computers, the firewall and IPSec settings can also be scripted.
DNSSEC digitally signs DNS records to prevent spoofing and man-in-the-middle attacks. Fortunately, it is much easier to manage DNSSEC in Server 2012 and later. We will also see how to require DNS secure dynamic updates, set permissions on DNS records in Active Directory, use the DNS sinkhole technique to frustrate malware, and use IPSec with DNS queries too.
There is much more to wireless security than getting rid of WEP. Windows Server includes a built-in RADIUS service that can be used to regulate access to your wireless access points, managed Ethernet switches, and VPN gateways. Everything you need for a WPA2 wireless network solution, including certificate-based PEAP authentication, is built into Windows for free. This week we will see how to set it all up, step-by-step, including the PKI.

SEC505.5: Server Hardening & Dynamic Access Control
Jason Fossen
Fri Apr 11th, 2014
What are the best practices for hardening servers, especially servers exposed to the Internet? How can we remotely manage our servers in a secure way, especially our virtualized servers hosted by third-party cloud providers? If I have Internet-exposed servers, how can I more safely make them Active Directory domain members? If I have service accounts or scheduled jobs running as Domain Admin, what are the risks and what can I do about it? Today's course is all about server hardening.
Are you using SSL/TLS, NTLM, Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) or the File and Print Sharing protocol (SMB/CIFS)? These protocols and their listening ports are hacker favorites, but we often can't live without them, so we will see how to make these and other protocols more resilient against attacks.
Windows Server 2012 introduced a major new security enhancement called Dynamic Access Control (DAC). If you have millions of files spread across multiple servers, how can you manage access to and auditing of these ever-changing files? How can we avoid relying on NTFS permissions and NTFS auditing alone?
DAC allows you to mark files as "Trade Secret", "PII", or as any other classification tag you invent, then apply restrictions and auditing based on these hidden file tags. But it's not done with AD group memberships and NTFS alone. DAC is not an NTFS management system, there's much more to it. With your own custom user and computer attributes defined in Active Directory, you can implement a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solution based on "claims" associated with your users and their various devices. You can also perform auditing this way to help comply with regulations in your industry.
Dynamic Access Control works best with Server 2012 and Windows 8, but Windows 8 is not required. Even Windows XP clients can benefit. DAC can also be extended to other platforms such as SharePoint, Rights Management Services (RMS) and Exchange, it's not just for file servers. DAC is not a single tool or service, it's a new access control system with ties into the kernel -- fun stuff!

SEC505.6: Windows PowerShell Scripting
Jason Fossen
Sat Apr 12th, 2014
In every Windows book, magazine and blog article, everything is PowerShell, PowerShell, PowerShell... But what is it?
PowerShell is Microsoft's object-oriented command shell and scripting language. Unlike the past, virtually everything can be managed from the command line and scripts now and automation is very important for implementing the Critical Security Controls. Server 2012-R2, for example, has over 3000 PowerShell tools for nearly everything, including Active Directory, IIS, Exchange, SharePoint, System Center, AppLocker, Hyper-V, firewall rules, event logs, remote command execution, and much more.
Download the latest version of PowerShell from http://www.microsoft.com/powershell/.
PowerShell takes the best features of UNIX shells, like ksh and bash, and then blows them out of the water. What's the big deal? PowerShell rides on top of the .NET Framework, hence, COM objects and the entire .NET class library are available at the command prompt. When you execute commands, the output is not text, the output is a stream of objects with properties and methods, just like in C#. You can even build and run graphical programs written entirely in PowerShell.
What about managing older systems and software? PowerShell can access scriptable COM objects just like VBScript and JavaScript too. So while VBScript gives you COM, PowerShell gives you both .NET and COM. VBScript is dead, the future is PowerShell.
And PowerShell is easier to learn when you are first getting started too. This course assumes you have no prior scripting experience, and you don't need it either. We will walk through all the essentials of PowerShell together. And if you're already familiar with Perl or C#, then the PowerShell syntax will not be foreign to you. Most importantly, be prepared to have fun � PowerShell is just plain cooooooool�

Additional Information
�You will know and be confident on how to enable Windows PKI after taking this course. I had no practical experience, but plenty of theory. Jason broke down the pros and cons of the whole process. Excellent!!�
Laptop Required
Please note that without a virtual machine or laptop running Windows Server, you will only be able to watch the instructor demonstrate the exercises, you won't be able to follow along on your own computer, and that is half the fun!
A video can be found here to help with your laptop setup.
Should I use a Virtual Machine?
Yes, in fact, using a virtual machine is preferred, though you could install Windows Server directly on your laptop if necessary. Windows 8 Pro and Enterprise both include Client Hyper-V. You can also obtain VMware Player or Oracle VirtualBox for free. On a Mac there is also VMware Fusion and Parallels.
The host computer can have any operating system.
Where can I get the free evaluation version of Windows Server 2012 R2?
You can download a free trial version of Windows Server 2012 R2 from Microsoft as an ISO image file (an ISO file is an exported copy of a CD/DVD disk).
Just do an Internet search on "site:microsoft.com windows server trial eval" to find the download link to the ISO file on Microsoft's web site.
Bring the ISO file with you on your hard drive when you attend the course.
How should my virtual machine be configured?
Other than simply creating the Windows Server virtual machine, there is nothing else to configure. Everything else will be done during the training.
Please install Windows Server 2012 R2 in your VM.
You can use either the Standard or Datacenter Edition, either one works fine.
When you install the VM, choose the "Server with a GUI" version of Windows Server, not the "Core" version. If you've accidentally installed the "Core" version, you will only get a CMD command shell when you log into the VM; you will need to delete this Core VM and install a new one to choose the "Server with a GUI" version instead.
Bring the ISO file with you when you attend the training.
If I install Windows Server directly on the laptop, do I need a virtual machine?
No, if you install Windows Server directly onto your laptop, you do not need to also install a virtual machine with Windows Server. Make sure to use either the evaluation version or a license-activated version of Windows Server though (activate in the System applet in Control Panel).
VMware prompts me for a license number or I get a license error message!
Make sure you have the evaluation version of Windows Server, not the retail version.
In VMware, when creating the virtual machine, it's best to choose the option which says "I will install the operating system later" and then provide the path to the ISO file for Windows Server. The "Easy Install" option can cause error messages because there is no license number for the evaluation version of Windows Server. If you boot the VM and get license error messages, it's easiest to simply delete that VM and create a new one.
If you have additional questions about the laptop specifications, please contact email@example.com.

Author Statement
The courses I write for SANS are always guided by two questions: 1) What do administrators need to know to secure their networks? and 2) What should administrators learn to advance their careers as IT professionals? I'm not a Microsoft employee or a Microsoft-basher, so you won't get either kind of propaganda here. My concern is with the health of your network and your career. As a security consultant I've seen it all (good, bad, and ugly), and my experience goes into the manuals I write for SANS and the stories I tell in seminar. The Securing Windows course is packed with interesting and useful advice that is hard to find on the Internet. We always have a good time, so I hope to meet you at the next training event!

I have 2 pin outlet for A.C current . Now when I connect a TV plug in that and when I touch one of the prongs with my tester, the tester is showing response. But on the other prong the tester shows no response.
I am using an A.C current(50 amps)(230 volts).
As far as I know,
Both the two prongs will act as a phase for every 1/50th second alternatively.
i.e For the first 1/50 second one hole in the outlet must act as a phase and in the next 1/50 second other outlet hole must act as a phase. And this cycle must continue...
So , If i touch any prongs my tester should show response. But only one is showing response.
If my concept is wrong please ignore my mistake and explain where Ive gone wrong.
Someone please explain.
Thanks in advance.
