Children learning to code maliciously, report says
Pre-teens are writing malware designed to steal login details from online gamers
GCHQ oversight 'now lawful' but may not have been previously
Proposed UN resolution condemns electronic mass surveillance
Snooper's charter 'dead and buried' but police to get new Internet powers
Medical devices under review over cyber-security flaws
A new report has revealed that pre-teens are writing malware designed to steal login details from online gamers.
Anti-virus company AVG released the report which investigated a number of malicious software developments, including the case of a Trojan developed by an 11-year-old child to steal game login information.
AVG said that in a world filled with laptops, tablets and smartphones, today's children become digitally fluent far earlier than previous generations.
While stealing someone's game logins may at first seem a minor problem, online gaming accounts are often connected to credit card details to enable in-game purchases, and may also have virtual currency attached to them amounting to hundreds of dollars.
Furthermore, many gamers unfortunately use the same login details for social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, potentially putting the victim at risk of cyber-bullying, in addition to identity theft and major inconvenience.
"We have now seen a number of examples of very young individuals writing malware, including an 11-year-old from Canada," said Yuval Ben-Itzhak, chief technology officer at AVG Technologies. "The code usually takes the form of a basic Trojan written using the .NET framework, which is easy to learn for beginners and simple to deploy via a link in an email or posted on a social media page.
"We believe these junior programmers are motivated mainly by the thrill of outwitting their peers, rather than financial gain, but it is nevertheless a disturbing and increasing trend. It is also logical to assume that at least some of those responsible will be tempted to experiment with much more serious cyber-crimes."
The report also highlighted the increase in mobile malware, particularly of code designed to target Google's Android operating system.
During the course of 2012, AVG Threat Labs reported on the First Android Rootkit, examples of mobile banking being targeted for attack, malicious apps that send text messages to premium rate services, and Trojan-infected versions of popular games on unofficial app stores, including bestseller Angry Birds Space.
Mobile threats also feature in the Threat Report's predictions for 2013, notably in the form of increased MITMO (Man-In-The-Mobile) attacks that target PC and mobile Internet banking apps.
Such threats might benefit from the growing BYOD trend, where workers connect their personal mobile devices to company networks.
Alongside the rise in mobile malware, the Threat Labs found exploit toolkits continue to dominate when it comes to online threats.
Almost 60 per cent of all threat activity online was performed by exploit toolkits in 2012.
The use of such kits is believed to be the result of established cyber-criminals realising that they can create and sell commercial toolkits at a premium to less technically savvy peers eager to get into the market.
One example of a new exploit toolkit which emerged during the last quarter of 2012, and bore a remarkable resemblance to the Blackhole Exploit Kit, was the Cool Toolkit.
This new toolkit accounted for 16 per cent of the top Web threats in Q4 2012, topped only by Blackhole at 40 per cent.

Oklahoma City Thunder: TNT's Mike Fratello diagnoses OKC's sloppy play
At halftime of the Lakers-Spurs telecast, TNT analyst Charles Barkley credited Rockets coach Kevin McHale for making key adjustments.
"Give the shout out to my man Kevin McHale. He went to the zone defense, and the zone was awesome tonight. Mark Jackson (Golden State coach) and Kevin McHale have coached their team the last two nights. Great adjustments."
Barkley is still expecting a "quick" series, with the Thunder winning 4-1.
*TNT had an interesting shot of Kendrick Perkins clearly holding Rockets forward Chandler Parsons as Sefolosha hit the crucial three, and then Parsons complaining to the officials.
*During a timeout, TNT showed Thunder coach Scott Brooks encouraging Kevin Martin to keep shooting. "K-Mart, shoot the ball. I don't care if you're 1 for 12, shoot the ball. I believe in you. Everybody believes in you."
*Fox Sports Oklahoma made Serge Ibaka its Player of the Game for compiling 12 points, 11 rebounds and six blocked shots. He also made the Thunder's final field goal on a 20-foot jumper. "That's a big-time shot by Ibaka," analyst Grant Long said.
*In the postgame show, FSOK analyst Nancy Lieberman, a Basketball Hall of Famer, credited the Thunder's poise and Brooks' coaching. "You saw tremendous experience, no panic, execution and through the course of the game, Scott Brooks impressed me so much," she said, noting Brooks' plays after timeouts.

Vo Binh Dinh
View detail of all martial arts in the world. Each country have their own unique martial arts fighting style. Read more to view detail and video clips about this special unique martial arts.
Võ Bình Ð?nh is a Vietnamese martial art.
Võ Bình Ð?nh originates from the Bình Ð?nh province, one of two provinces that formerly constituted the province of Nghia Binh. Also referred to as the traditional martial arts of Vietnam, it is known for its various elbow and staff techniques. The date is not clear when Võ Bình Ð?nh was founded, but is believed to be in the 18th century. There is no single founder for Võ Bình Ð?nh. Many of its practitioners credit the leadership of Nguy?n Hu? and his two brothers: Nguyen Nhac and Nguyen Lu. Under Hue's leadership, warriors from Binh Dinh took part in what is now known as the Tay Son Uprising. This rebellion led to the unification of Viet Nam at that time and Nguyen Hue became King Quang Trung. He went on to defeat the Chinese Qing invaders in the North in an epic battle still celebrated in the country today.[citation needed] During the time of the French colonization some of the tradition was lost because all martial arts activity was forbidden.
Võ Bình Ð?nh assumes that the opponent is non-Vietnamese, larger and heavier, and thus teaches the martial artist to move quickly and continuously.

David Flaherty, who lives in Walkertown, N.C., and drives for ABF Freight System Inc., of Fort Smith, Ark., has just been named TCA's latest Highway Angel.
On Nov. 10, 2013, Flaherty was driving along I-85 near Concord, N.C., at about 11 p.m., when he saw an intermittent flash of orange light ahead in the darkness. He eventually caught up to the vehicle—another tractor trailer hauling doubles—and realized that the flickers were actually embers of heated metal falling from an area near one of the inside rear tires.The other truck driver had no idea that there was a problem. It took Flaherty about 10 minutes of honking and flashing his lights to get the man to understand that he needed to pull off the road. Together, Flaherty and the other driver used both of their trucks' fire extinguishers to smother the embers. But that was not enough, so they started pouring whatever drinks they had in their vehicles—water, sodas, even cranberry juice. By the time the fire department arrived, the smoldering was finished; but just then, the tire blew very loudly.If it weren't for Flaherty's alertness and willingness to go out of his way to stop the man, it is likely that the trailer would have caught on fire and destroyed the load inside."It's amazing how quickly a tire fire can burn a truck to the ground. They generate a ton of heat," said Flaherty. "Another ten minutes and that fire would have burned through the floor of the trailer and destroyed the load. I've seen it before… it goes up like a torch."TCA has presented Flaherty with a Highway Angel lapel pin, certificate, and patch. The organization also gave ABF Freight System a certificate acknowledging that it has a Highway Angel in its midst.

While watching reruns of an early 90s tv show called 'Earth 2' I was shocked by how many similarities I found in the main character, a mother fighting to find a cure for her son's illness, and myself. On the series there is a group of 200 or so kids that are struck by a disease called "the syndrome." They have to wear electronic devices and carry them around with them where ever they go. These devices are their live support, without them they will die.
So why is my story so…

About Me Midrange Shopper
The Woodriver chuck is better then my old Nova chuck. I bought the Nova refurbished direct from Nova and like the 2 Woodriver chucks and both the pin jaws and these bowl jaws with adapters for both of my lathes. Very versatile and dependable - one of the best chuck buys on the market. They are tommy bar chucks but that never bothers me.

_ Terath I _The sun was bright, its rays dazzling, scorching with a terrible dry-heat upon the earth, the rather dried grass giving testament to this weather's longevity. That would be the only thing I had registered in this world, laying in the thick grass, stunned and somewhat unconscious.It was another violent one, this jump. As I had expected, I think I remember. Freakishly, I had actually fallen from out of the blue for once, with only a thick matting of scratchy thorn-weeds and some other flora to soften the fall. I couldn't even determine how far I had, the overwhelming sensation of fear having rendered my sense of time unusable. The only thing I had felt was that gripping fear and the helpless falling...I had started to shift, and didn't even know how far, maybe either between the completely instinctual reason of gaining my wings to control the fallhowever belated it wasand the inexplicable feeling of dread.

Some of these spawns of Satan might try and deceive you with smooth words and miracles into thinking they are our friends and have no intention to harm us. Walk by faith and not by sight, for the unclean serpents will only try to lull us into a false sense of security and make us all their prey when our guard is down. The Chinese and other people might tell you a different story, that the appearance of these dragons all over the world is a sign of good fortune and that they will guard and protect this world. Ha!

Alleged victim of Geoghan nearly drowns By Michael S. Rosenwald, Globe Staff, 6/19/2003
Patrick McSorley, 28, of Hyde Park, was in critical condition last night at Boston Medical Center, where he was taken by ambulance after a friend found him splashing and struggling in the river, said David Procopio, the Suffolk district attorney's spokesman. Mitchell Garabedian, a lawyer who represented McSorley in one of the 84 lawsuits brought against Geoghan and church officials, said that McSorley was unconscious and on life support last night. His family told Garabedian that he had a ''50-50 chance'' of survival. State Police are investigating how McSorley wound up in the river and the events leading up to what transpired, Procopio said. A preliminary inquiry indicates that around 2:30 p.m., McSorley and his friend became separated somewhere in the sprawling park, which has a long, sloping grass embankment along the water. Moments later, the friend and a passerby heard him splashing. The friend then pulled a submerged McSorley from the river, performed CPR, and called 911. McSorley had scrapes and a contusion ''consistent with being pulled out of the water,'' Procopio said. Garabedian refused to comment on whether he thought McSorley had tried to kill himself. The two spoke on Monday, and Garabedian said, ''He was talking about how the church hasn't changed its attitude at all with regard to helping victims heal.'' McSorley was 12 years old and living in a Boston housing project when he was molested by Geoghan, according to Globe reports and ''Betrayal: The Crisis in the Catholic Church,'' a book by the newspaper's Spotlight team. Geoghan learned of the suicide of McSorley's father and not long after dropped by to offer his condolences, according to the book. Then, he took the boy for ice cream. On the way home, Geoghan patted McSorley's upper leg, then slid his hand up toward his crotch and molested him. ''I didn't know what to think,'' McSorley says in the book. McSorley, who has young children of his own, was outspoken during the church abuse scandal that shattered support of the Catholic Church and led to the resignation of Cardinal Bernard F. Law last December. He sat in on hours of depositions, including Law's. During one session, he said he could not bring himself to shake the hand that Law offered him as the morning testimony got underway. He characterized the cardinal's testimony as not believable. ''It was despicable,'' McSorley said. ''We couldn't get the truth out of someone who is supposed to tell nothing but the truth.'' Garabedian said McSorley sat through the lengthy depositions because he ''felt he should inform the public as to the pedophile priests in the Archdiocese of Boston.'' ''Patrick is a hero,'' Garabedian added. ''Patrick poured his heart and soul into making the public aware of the pedophilia within the Catholic Church. It was very important to Patrick that other people be protected.'' When Superior Court Judge Constance M. Sweeney in September accepted a $10 million settlement of 84 lawsuits against Geoghan and church officials, she said in the courtroom: ''There is no question from the point of view of the civil side that Mr. Geoghan either raped or assaulted you or members of your family ...'' Afterward, McSorley said: ''Those words were honest words. That was exactly what I wanted to hear. We were sitting there, we were noticed by her, and that was very comforting.'' The money, he said, would not change his life. ''My heart is always going to be broken because of this,'' he said. ''I mean these are people my family once loved. And they let something go tragically wrong.'' Globe correspondents Jared Stearns and Heather Allen contributed to this report.

Maybe it was the fact that buffet food was so different from the homemade and traditional Chinese meals that we typically ate; or maybe it was just that buffets were the best way to feed a family of five kids. I hate to admit it but I do have a special place in my heart for the Golden Corrals of this world because of that.
Still, I like to think I've developed my palate beyond that. Which is why I was particularly intrigued to check out The Chef's House at 1729 Walton Way.
I'd noticed the you-can't-miss-me pink house at the intersection of Druid Park and Walton Way for years without realizing that it was a restaurant.
The fare? Southern buffet.
The first time I tried to go, the small anteroom was so packed that I was forced to come back another day. Fast forward a couple of years, when the restaurant came back to mind when I was trying to think of a new place to try with my friend Kim.
"Your choice!" she texted back when I offered her a few suggestions. So Southern buffet it was.
On this Friday, I got there a few moments early.
"How many?" asked the mannerly young gentleman who was in charge of the cash register. "It'll be just a few minutes." I peeped inside, and a mix of couples, businessmen and working folks were all happily eating.
Once Kim arrived, it was a couple more minutes, then we went back into the second of the restaurant's two dining areas.
The restaurant itself is all white paneled walls and homey – but not overly so – with just a few colorful pieces of art on the walls and a flower at each table. The dining areas are small – hence the occasional wait.
Once we ordered our drinks (half sweet and half unsweet tea), it was time to hit the stainless steel buffet.
For those used to the miles of food choices at a Golden Corral or S&S, the selections might seem few, but there were still plenty of options.
On one side was a small salad bar with an assortment of dressings and fixings. On the other, the full buffet, featuring two meats and a fish, a basket of cornbread, two starches and two green vegetables.
"OK, you're making me feel guilty," laughed Kim as I headed to the salad bar. So we both decided to start off with a small salad. Mine was very simple – just crisp iceberg with red tomato and a slice of cucumber with ranch dressing – a nice, fresh, light salad.
But for the main course, I went all out. That day we had barbecue, fried chicken and grilled fish; green beans and collards; potatoes and broccoli casserole; and cornbread. Everything but the collards made it to my plate – just a bite of each to sample.
The barbecue was sweet and tender, in a flavorful sauce and not at all greasy or heavy. I'd had similar fish at other restaurants – just a white fish with just a light Cajun-esque seasoning. And my fried drumstick was very crisp – and surprisingly not greasy either.
The owner enlightened us when she came by to fill our drinks, explaining that the chef focused on low-sodium, low-fat, healthy versions of Southern favorites. In fact, some local doctors with patients on low-sodium diets even encouraged their patients to dine at The Chef's House because of its focus on healthy but good food, she said.
Good Southern food without the fat and salt? I certainly could take her up on that.
The interesting thing is that the food had a lot of flavor, especially the vegetables. The green beans were so savory, I almost couldn't believe they weren't cooked with the requisite hunk of pork fat. The red-skinned potatoes didn't need anything else; and the broccoli casserole was creamy, dotted with fresh broccoli and bits of cheese.
Before she walked off, the owner also asked, with a tilt of her head, "You're going to get some peach cobbler, aren't you?" It wasn't really a question (not that she really had to twist our arms), so I made my way back a third time to scoop out a couple of servings for the two of us.
The peaches still had a little bite to them, but the crust was tender and crisp and sweet. My only wish? For a scoop of vanilla ice cream to go with it.
"Y'all come back, now," called the owner, as we paid and made our way to the door. With its welcoming atmosphere, adorable cashier/host, and healthy versions of Southern food, I'd say that was a guarantee.

ReminderSubmitted by Berry (not verified) on Mon, 02/18/2013 - 3:08am.
I will remind you citizens that more than half of our taxes go straight to military. A military that in the near future will be used against you. All the things that are needed in our community, can be afforded by the community. We no help from politicians to pave a road. We have enough people to afford the responsibilities without first having to pay billions to companies for corporate bail-outs and sometimes even trillions. Its time the people wake up and realize how your money is being used against you. I challenge the public to get involved and research how your money is being spent before its too late. »

With our carefully selected CNA sources and insightful articles about this rewarding career field, we offer insightful information and answer the questions that can help you make the best decisions possible about your formal training and career choices as a CNA.

- How do I know this is a good career choice?

- OK, I earned my certification. What kind of jobs can I get?
- Frequently Asked Questions
What is a certified nursing assistant?
Certified nursing assistants (CNAs) attend state-approved programs that train them for an entry-level position in the nursing field. CNAs work under licensed nurses and perform the duties that define basic nursing care within their scope of practice. A CNA program is generally four to twelve weeks in length and graduates are eligible to take the state certification examination. CNAs provide basic nursing care for patients who need help with mobility, eating, dressing, and bathroom activities. You may also assist your patients and their families with emotional support for end-of-life care issues.
Most CNAs work in nursing homes, hospitals and long-term care facilities, while others work in assisted-living facilities. As a provider of basic care, you may perform intensive physical activity that involves lifting patients, positioning them in bed and changing bed linens. CNAs require the ability to deal with body fluids, bedpans and urinary catheters without displaying negative expressions when caring for their patients. CNAs are not expected to perform the duties of licensed nurses, diagnose patients, or work as an independent healthcare provider.
^Back to Overview
How do I know this is a good career choice?
Entry into a CNA program is usually easy and you may graduate in a few weeks of classroom and hands-on training. Depending on your program, classes may be intensive and require studying and paying close attention to class lectures. Since entry into CNA programs is generally easy, students can prepare for jobs quickly and gain experience in an entry-level position in healthcare.
Your job as a CNA may provide the knowledge and experience you desire to further your education in the nursing field or complete a prerequisite to your particular nursing school. However, your CNA certificate limits you to entry-level healthcare positions and you will have to obtain more formal classroom training, certification, or licensure to advance your health career as a nurse or any other area of the healthcare field.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics in 2012, nursing assistants, nursing aides, and nursing care attendants are in high demand and continue to be one of the fastest growing jobs in the U.S. With an expected increase of 21 percent faster than all other occupations, nursing assistants who have certifications and work in long-term care and skilled nursing facilities will benefit for the most job prospects for the next ten years.
Average Nursing Assistant Salary 2006-2011
Looks promising, but is this right for me?
Are you a compassionate person who enjoys caring for the physical needs and emotional support of those who cannot care for themselves? Successful CNAs are highly social and approach the frequent interactions with physicians, nurses and patients and their families with good communication skills. Overall, CNAs are optimistic about life and strive to support patients and their families with positive, helpful solutions.
Good CNAs have the power of observation and notice the slightest changes in people that may be significant to their health and safety. If your personality demonstrates patience, a desire to improve the quality of patients' lives and a dedication to lifelong learning, a position as a CNA may be right for you.
I'm convinced! How do I become a CNA?
Although you don't require a college degree to be a CNA, you will need to attend a state-approved program that trains you to perform as an entry-level healthcare worker. Although you don't require a college degree to be a CNA, you will need to attend a state-approved program that trains you to perform as an entry-level healthcare worker. Find and enroll in a CNA training program and pay for the tuition and fees. In six to twelve weeks of classes, your CNA program teaches you to perform basic care for patients and prepares you to pass your state certification examination.
Most cities or towns have technical/vocational CNA schools or adult training centers that offer CNA programs. Brick-and-mortar schools offer traditional classes, practical skills training and the mandatory clinical practice for working with actual patients in a nursing home.
Online programs for nursing assistants are highly popular and offer the flexibility and convenience of learning the identical CNA classes at home. Online accredited programs may cost less and allow you to keep your job and manage family responsibilities while you learn. Although classroom training is studied and completed online, your online CNA program may require that you arrange the clinical practice portion on your own.
After you complete your courses, you take the certification exam that includes a skills performance test and a written test. The skills section tests your ability to perform basic nursing care, such as making beds, taking blood pressure, and recording a temperature. When you pass both parts of your exam, your certification number is placed on the CNA state registry. Healthcare employers are then able to lookup your certificate and know that you're qualified to be hired as a CNA in a hospital, nursing home or home health agency.
OK, I earned my certification. What kind of jobs can I get?
Congratulations! You got your CNA certification and it's time to find a job. Here are some examples of jobs that are available for certified nurses assistants:

- vital sign checks
- assessment of patient's condition
- common diagnostic test and laboratory sample collection

^Back to FAQ
Can I find classes outside of traditional educational school?
If you're looking for a CNA training program outside of traditional educational institutions, you're in luck because there are other options to get the training you need. You can find CNA programs in:
- Nursing Homes
- Check with the skilled nursing facilities in your area. Some of these institutions sponsor programs and may even offer you employment at the completion of the course.
- Government Sponsored Programs
- You may live in an area that have programs that satisfy the state-required courses. Check with the Department of Health, the Board of Nursing or the community colleges in your area.
- Vocational or Technical Schools
- Check local vocational or technical schools for state sponsored programs. Your state may sponsor these programs in order to meet the demand of the local population. Call your state board of nursing or visit their website and search for the list of accredited CNA programs offered by local schools.
- Hospitals
- Check with your local hospitals, they may offer accredited CNA classes. Nursing assistants frequently move on to higher education and other healthcare positions, leaving openings to be filled by newer CNAs. Hospitals may offer classes for certification when they experience a shortage of assistants.
- The Red Cross
- Call your local Red Cross as they may offer courses in your location. A certified instructor or registered nurse usually presents the class material and conducts the skills lab. The advantage of becoming certified by the Red Cross is that the documentation is recognized all over the country rather than only the state of origin.
Depending on your location, local colleges may charge the cost of a typical semester and may add a fee for the clinical rotation. State sponsored vocational and technical schools may charge tuition that is based on a flat fee or similar costs of tuition. Online courses provide affordable and convenient ways to satisfy the course requirements. Private institutions may charge higher costs and fees for the convenience of their program. Be sure to check all your resources before choosing a program.
^Back to FAQ
What are the requirements for nursing assistant classes?
In most states, students are required to have a high school diploma or an equivalent before enrolling in a state approved program. Although most classes are designed by each individual state, they are typically divided into formal classroom training and clinical practicum (hands-on) to provide a graduate with basic nursing knowledge and patient care experience. Many programs require that the student maintain a flawless attendance record.
^Back to FAQ
Typically, a class will last four to twelve weeks, but you will have to check with your particular state to be sure of the length of time/hours they require. Depending on your location, there may also be part-time programs available that meet a few times a week. There is also the option of online courses as it may also help reduce the amount of time in a classroom due to the convenience of being able to work through online courses at your own pace.
^Back to FAQ
How difficult are these courses?
The educational material is generally equivalent to a 12th grade level of high school. Some people have more difficulty learning the hands-on skills, such as working a blood pressure cuff, rather than learning the classroom portion. CNA courses are not easy, but universally, the majority of students do pass the course.
^Back to FAQ
What happens after I complete the CNA program?
State-required education is designed to prepare the graduate for the nursing assistant certification exam. A candidate must pass the clinical portion (given by your instructor) and the written state exam. Once passed, the nursing assistant holds a state recognized certification. In addition, most states allow the graduate to work as a nursing assistant while waiting to take the certification exam. CNAs are in high demand and positions are often easy to secure.
^Back to FAQ
Most classes advertised as "free" are actually not classes. They are typically training resources that provide information for people pursuing a career as a certified nurses assistant. If you're thinking about taking classes and it's advertised as free, make sure you check to see if it's been approved by your State board of nursing and that it meets the requirements for you to become a CNA.
