Avoid regrettable mistakes; proactively protect yourself
Even the most careful planning sometimes cannot mitigate human error. A week ago, a photograph of the World Cup Security Center showing the WiFi password on a whiteboard in the background was published on the internet and immediately retweeted numerous times.

Last February, during the Super Bowl XLVIII pre-game show, the Super Bowl security headquarters was shown on a television broadcast along with the stadium's internal WiFi login credentials.
These so-called "epic fails" are highly publicized examples of regrettable mistakes that every human on the planet is familiar with – because we all make them. Maybe not at that scale; but I dare say, that no one at FIFA or the NFL intentionally set out to expose themselves or their organization to danger.
It could happen to you
So let's stop giggling at these public slip ups and talk about our collective failure at securing our own passwords and other data. Read more…
TextSecure reclassified as a false positive
On occasion, even the most well thought-out systems can break down. In the antivirus business, we try hard to minimize something termed false positive. A false positive is merely a mistake or a false alarm. It happens when your antivirus software erroneously identifies a file or a download as being malicious.
The AVAST Virus Lab receives more than 50,000 samples of new potential viruses every single day. There are so many that we cannot look at each individually, so we use techniques with super-techie names like Malware Similarity Search and Evo-Gen. (These techniques are explained in a previous blog post, New Toy in the Avast Research Lab.) When a file is confirmed as malicious, we add it to our virus database. With this amount of new samples, every now and then a false positive occurs. There is no way to avoid it completely, but we try to limit it and its impact.
Over the weekend, avast! Mobile Security erroneously detected the TextSecure app as a Trojan. TextSecure is an app developed by Open Whisper Systems that protects your privacy by encrypting your text and chat messages, which means that they can only be read by your intended recipients. The AVAST Virus Lab discovered the error, fixed it and sent out an update.
Unfortunately, wires got crossed between our Virus Lab analyst and our social media community manager, and the wrong message was sent to people on Twitter and Facebook who inquired about the detection. You see, at the same time as the TextSecure detection was being reported, another unrelated detection was made, and it was indeed a malicious file. It was a simple case of mistaken identity. Later in the day, we discovered the mistake and followed up by communicating it across AVAST social channels.
AVAST confirms that TextSecure Private Messenger is a genuine and safe application for Android, and contains no malicious scripts. We apologize for the inconvenience caused to TextSecure users and Open Whisper Systems.
Please be assured that AVAST does not intentionally recognize valid software as suspicious. The last thing we want to do is disrupt businesses or our customers. However, to provide maximum protection against genuine virus threats, false positive alerts sometimes arise.
How to report a suspected false positive
If you suspect that AVAST has incorrectly identified a file as suspicious, please submit a report to http://www.avast.com/contact-form.php?subject=VIRUS-FILE. This form will generate an email to our Virus Lab research team, and they will investigate it.
Before you do that, you may want to upload a file or a URL to online virus scanning service VirusTotal. This free online service scans the file against multiple antivirus engines and website scanners at the same time.
TextSecure protects your privacy
The fine developers of the TextSecure app deserve a happy ending, so we want to throw our support behind this innovative app. We developed avast! Mobile Security to protect Android users from malware and theft and have included numerous features to protect the privacy of our users. The TextSecure app takes that further by providing end-to-end encryption when you are communicating with other TextSecure users. It also keeps your messages away from prying eyes if your phone is lost or stolen.
Install TextSecure Private Messenger for free from Google Play. Don't forget to leave a review and a 5-star rating!

Samsung Galaxy S5 and other popular phones vulnerable to "TowelRoot" Android exploit
avast! Mobile Security protects from an Android flaw which leaves nearly all new smartphones and tablets vulnerable to attack.
Last week, a wave of articles about a newly discovered Android security flaw flooded the Internet. They sounded a warning, similar to this:
"A flaw in the Android operating system may leave many Android phones and tablets vulnerable to attack, including the Samsung Galaxy S5 and Google's own Nexus 5," reported Jill Scharr in a Tom's Guide article.
Our Virus Lab did not waste time and started preparing for the inevitable attacks. AVAST researchers dug into the subject looking for malware to make sure that avast! Mobile Security is ready to protect our users. If you are an avast! user and your tablet or smartphone is protected by avast! Mobile Security, you are protected.
"Even though TowelRoot is not malicious itself, it may be misused as an exploit kit. Generally, TowelRoot can be used as a delivery package for malicious applications," explained Filip Chytry, an AVAST Virus Lab expert on mobile malware. "It's capable of misusing a mistake in Android code which allows attackers to get full control over your Android device. TowelRoot itself is more a proof-of-concept, but in the hands of bad guys, it can be misused really quickly. For this reason we added it to our virus signatures, so Avast detects it as Android:TowelExploit."
Android has not made an official statement on the security flaw, however our researchers confirm that even the latest versions of the operating system are exposed (version 4 and all higher). It is very likely that versions 3.0 can be attacked, too. For those who just purchased an Android device or don't have protection yet, we strongly recommend that you install avast! Mobile Security, before taking any further actions. Despite the fact that some of the mobile providers claim that their devices are immune to this particular Android exploit, it is highly risky to leave your device unprotected.
What is the TowelRoot Android vulnerability?
Earlier this month a security flaw in Linux, the operating system which Android is based upon, was discovered by a young hacker known as "Pinkie Pie." Soon afterwards, a gifted teenager, notable because he was the first to unlock the unlockable – an iPhone at the age of 17, prepared a tool kit for potential hackers. Its instructions are available publicly to "purchase," allowing even less advanced programmers to write a script that will use the exploit.
The potential exists for hackers to take full control; to simply root your device. So far the AVAST Virus Lab has not observed any massive attack, however knowing about the potential risk, our Virus Lab is ready for the attack. avast! Mobile Security is capable of discovering different variations of malware code required to exploit the bug.
Who is exposed and how to protect yourself?
Basically everyone who owns an Android device without proper antivirus protection, tablet or mobile phone, with any version of Android OS, including the newest one is at risk for malware.
In order to prevent this exploit, or any other malware attack, once you purchase your device, we advise to install antivirus first, before installing any apps, importing contacts, or starting to browse online. Our avast! Free Mobile security, as well as its Premium version are available to download and install from Google Play.

How to use avast! Ransomware Removal?
avast! Ransomware Removal removes SimpLocker, Cryptolocker, or any other type of ransomware from infected devices.
A few days ago, we announced a new app that kills Android ransomware. After being available on Google Play, the app has already been received with enthusiasm. We spotted some questions regarding the tool on social media and addressed them to our support team. In this article we will explain how to install, how to run the tool, and why it is important to uninstall it after AVAST has done its job! First, our COO explains what SimpLocker, on of Android's dreaded ransomware, can do to your phone.
SimpLocker blocks access to files on infected mobile devices by encrypting them. Without our free ransomware removal tool, infected users have to pay $21 to regain access to their personal files. SimpLocker is the first ransomware that actually encrypts files, so we developed a free tool for people to restore them. – said Ondrej Vlcek, Chief Operating Officer at AVAST Software.
1. How can I install the avast! Ransomware Removal tool if my mobile is already being blocked by the malware?
This is a very good question, and we know how to get around this. All users can install the app remotely, but must access Google Play from your computer, not your mobile device. Follow these simple steps:
- Log in to Google Play with the same user information you use to log in to your phone
- Find the avast! Ransomware Removal app
- Click the "Install" button and the app will be installed on your device shortly
2. How do I can run the application?
- After the app is installed on your phone, click the app name from within the notification bar
- The app will run and provide you with further instructions
- Run a scan and wait until it has successfully removed the ransomware
- Uninstall the app at the end (you can install it again in the future if necessary).
3. Why am I prompted to uninstall avast! Ransomware Removal once I finish the scan and the ransomware has been removed?
This is one of the most frequent questions being asked by users, so we asked for more details from our experts. Here is an explanation from AVAST developer Jan Svehlak:
Ransomware locks users out of their devices, meaning the malware loads its ransom screen before other apps even have a chance to load. The avast! Ransomware Removal app needs to override the SimplLocker malware first, in order to access the device. However, if not uninstalled after the scan, it will continue to override all apps on the device, meaning it will block all other apps from opening. Therefore avast! Ransomware Removal needs to be uninstalled after accomplishing its task; unlocking your device.
Last, but not least, we believe that prevention is much more efficient than fixing an existing issue. To keep your devices protected from Cryptolocker, SimpLocker, and other ransomware, make sure to also install avast! Free Mobile Security & Antivirus from the Google Play store. It can detect and remove the malware before it is deployed.

Google Play Store changes opens door to cybercrooks
Last week, Google upgraded the Android app section of its store and introduced a new way for users to manage permissions. Google claims it will be easier for users to understand and that users will pay more attention to app permissions. The new interface has a cleaner look and the common user can now install apps more quickly. But does this simplicity come with a price?
Android controls the security and the amount of access every app is granted by using "permissions". Each action has to ask the operating system for permission to take a new action. In older versions, when an app update asked for new actions or requested additional permissions, Google Play would notify the user prompting them to explicitly accept or deny the new action. Even if the user had automatic updates set, in the cases of new permissions being asked, the user would need to manually perform the update. Even if the user wasn't exactly sure what they were giving permission for, at least the user was aware and could make the decision themselves. Security was preserved.
Everything is different now
Everything changed last week.
Individual permissions, which could range from important to trivial, are now joined into 13 groups, including a catch-all called "Other". Now the user has to accept a "new group" change. This means that if you have already allowed certain permissions within a group, then any other permission within that group will automatically be allowed. For example, an app that could access your calendar can now also read your contacts. If you set a meeting and have invited people by email, the app will be able to use the calendar to send emails to them, even without your consent! Read more…
AVAST kills Android ransomware with new app
avast! Ransomware Removal app eliminates Android ransomware and unlocks encrypted files, for free!
Ransomware, the terror of Windows that locks computers, encrypts the files, then demands a hefty payment to unlock them, has made its way to Android smartphones.
"The ransomware problem is growing like hell – and it's no longer just threatening users – the new versions actually do encrypt your files," said Ondrej Vlcek, Chief Operating Officer at AVAST Software.
AVAST Software just released a new app called avast! Ransomware Removal that will eliminate the malware from an infected device. Get it free for your Android smartphone and tablet from the Google Play Store.
avast! Ransomware Removal will tell you if your phone has ransomware on it. If you are infected, it will eliminate the malware. Android users who are clean, can use the free app to prevent an infection from happening.
This short video shows you what actually happens when ransomware infects your Android smartphone.
The next wave of attacks
Savvy malware writers know where the next round of victims can be found. With Android at a whopping 80% worldwide market share, as well as "billions" of remaining mobile subscribers ready to upgrade to smartphones, the targets are numerous.
After detecting the massive growth of ransomware on PCs, this spring AVAST Virus Lab researchers saw the malware migrating to the Android platform. Analysts identified fake government mobile malware, and early this month a new ransomware called SimplLocker proved to be successful. This proof-of-concept worked so well encrypting photos, videos, and documents stored on smartphones and tablets, that the Virus Lab immediately ordered a tool from our mobile development team to combat it - avast! Ransomware Removal.
"SimplLocker blocks access to files contained on mobile devices. Without our free ransomware-removal tool, infected users have to pay $21 to regain access to their personal files," said Vlcek. "SimplLocker is the first ransomware that actually encrypts these files, so we developed a free tool for people to restore them."
Find. Kill. Prevent.
Install avast! Ransomware Removal to find out if your Android devices are infected and to get rid of an infection. Anyone infected by SimplLocker, Cryptolocker, or any other type of ransomware can download the free avast! Ransomware Removal tool, and then install the app remotely on the infected device. Once installed, you can easily launch the app to scan the device, remove the virus, and then decrypt your hijacked files.
To keep your devices protected from Cryptolocker, SimplLocker, and other ransomware, make sure to also install avast! Free Mobile Security & Antivirus from the Google Play store. It can detect and remove the malware before it is deployed.

How to wipe the data from my lost smartphone
Question of the week: My phone was lost and there is no way to recover it. Thank goodness I had the data backed up. How do I use avast! Mobile Security to wipe all my information off of it?
We're sorry that you lost your phone. You are not alone. Over one hundred smartphones are lost or stolen every minute of every day, but unfortunately 34% of smartphone owners haven't protected their phone like you did. Congratulations on taking the initiative to back-up your data! We found out that half of smartphone owners don't back up their data, even though they are concerned about losing it. (This seems to be theme – same thing happens with changing passwords.)
If there's no way to recover the device, then you are wise to use avast! Mobile Security to remotely wipe your phone of all your personal data.
Thorough wipe
Avast! Mobile Security and Anti-Theft has remote features that allow you to take certain actions. Wiping the phone can be carried out by SMS command. This is useful in your case when you do not expect to get your phone back and you do not want a thief to access your personal data. Read about how you can set up remote control on your Android phone.
Thorough wipe allows avast! to permanently and irreversibly delete the content of any SD card when wiping the phone. Wiping smartphones using up to Android 2.1 is somewhat restricted as a factory reset of the phone is not possible. However, avast! will try to delete as much as possible, for example contacts, call logs, SMS/MMS, browser history and SD card content, but not emails or apps.
From Android 2.2 onwards, a full factory reset is possible so you have full wipe capabilities. However, please be aware that this will also delete avast! Anti-Theft, unless it was installed as a rooted application.
The thorough wipe will take up to ten minutes, and will physically and irrecoverably delete the actual contents of your SD card. It is your choice whether to select the maximum level of security by using the thorough wipe option.
Protect your data with avast! Anti-Theft
To do a full wipe, avast! Anti-Theft needs to be configured in the advanced settings as a device administrator, otherwise applications, emails etc. will not be deleted. Download and install avast! Mobile Security and Anti-Theft from the Google Play store.
Don't forget to backup your data with avast! Mobile Backup. It saves your contacts, call logs, SMS history, photos, and other irreplaceable data to your AVAST Account (and, optionally, Google Drive) to ensure that your priceless data is never lost. Download avast! Mobile Backup for free from Google Play.
All SMS commands, along with a short description how everything works is explained in our manual (PDF). It's short and easy to understand.

How to set up your smartphone for remote control
Question of the week: I just installed avast! Anti-Theft on my new Samsung Galaxy S5. If it gets lost or stolen, I know I can use remote control somehow. What do I do to set that up?
Congratulations on your cool new phone! It would be awful to lose that! Now that you have the free avast! Anti-Theft installed, you need to set it up so you can use the remote control features to control your phone via the avast! Portal or by SMS commands using a friend's phone.
Communicate via your online account
First, make sure you set up an account on our online portal at my.avast.com to communicate with the anti-theft installation. Once you set it up, you get an overview of all your devices protected by avast! security products and you can pair the devices with the online account.
To pair your smartphone to the account open avast! Mobile Security, open the Settings section and tap on the avast! Account. The wizard will lead you through the registration or pairing process.
Once that's done, you can remotely control your mobile devices on which avast! Mobile Security and Anti-Theft is installed.
Communicate via a friend's phone
Another way to communicate with your phone is by SMS commands using a friend's phone. To do that you need to specify one or two phone numbers of friends or family members who will receive the Anti-Theft notifications from your phone.
To add a friend's phone number, open avast! Anti-Theft and click on Friends. You can add one or two phone numbers here. Before you leave the screen, you have one more decision to make: Go to the bottom and check the box Only allow friend commands to allow SMS commands only from the specified friend's numbers, or, if left unchecked, SMS commands will be accepted from any number. If you change your mind later, you can remove that restriction, by de-selecting the option.
SMS commands to remotely control your phone
Using the SMS commands, you can silently retrieve details of calls made and received, copies of incoming or outgoing SMS messages, you can remotely lock your phone, sound a siren or even remotely wipe your phone of all your personal data if you do not expect to recover it. You can also receive continuous GPS updates so that you can track your phone's location.

Who protects your smartphone from cybercrooks?
The avast! Virus Lab professionals work together to stop malware from attacking your Android mobile phone.
Filip Chytrý, an analyst in the avast! Virus Lab will Declare war against Android Malware, together with his colleague, Peter Kalnai, at the 8th International CARO Workshop held in Melbourne, Florida this week. CARO (Computer Antivirus Research Organization) is a technical gathering of malware experts from around the world who share case studies of mobile attacks, do real life attack demonstrations, and present plans for the identification and investigation of coordinated mobile threats.
Along with his specialized knowledge in Android malware, Filip is a really fun guy. I asked him a few questions, so that you could meet one of the AVAST professionals directly responsible for keeping tens of millions of Android smartphone users safe from threats.
DEBORAH Thanks for taking time during your preparations for CARO to meet our users via the AVAST blog. Your job analyzing Android-targeted malware didn't even exist when you were a little boy. What early experiences with technology influenced your career path?
FILIP Define early. I've been addicted to PCs since childhood. I had my very first PC when I was 8 years old; some old piece of junk which was at that time probably older than I, but I still have remarkable memories of that time. So from that time on, I was influenced by technology. Even in my leisure activities, I concentrated on PCs. I went on to graduate from the School of Applications Cybernetics in Hradec Králové in Czech Republic.
DEBORAH Protecting people's desktop computers is how AVAST started, and now we've added free mobile security to our product offerings. How do we teach people to keep their smartphones and tablets safe just like their computers?
FILIP Most people still do not realize that their smartphones actually have more computing power and abilities than the computer they had in their homes five-ten years ago. The capabilities of their devices are incredible. Data in portable devices may say more about you than data from your PC. You have location data there, pictures, social media information and so on.

Six reasons to download avast! Mobile Security on mom's smartphone this Mother's day!
Today almost everyone and their mother has a smartphone, even your mom's mom probably has a smartphone! Smartphones help us connect with people near or far, whether it be through traditional phone calls, text messages, photo and video sharing via apps or messaging services, smartphones have made keeping in touch routine, easy and instant. We share personal moments, large or small, with the people we love the most: our moms. All these personal moments are then stored on our smartphones, so it is imperative to protect them, which is why we think avast! Mobile Security is the perfect Mother's Day gift.
Here are 6 reasons reasons to back that up:
1. Antivirus: Mom has always protected you, whether it be checking for monsters under your bed or making sure you put on a jacket before you leave the house. Now its your turn to protect your mom from mobile malware monsters from getting to her data. Our anti-virus scans apps, files and SMS for malicious malware and includes spyware.
2. Anti-theft: We all know moms are superheroes that don't wear capes, always on the go, making sure everyone is taken care of and where they are supposed to be. We also know that mom-purses are like Mary Poppin's never-ending bag, so it wouldn't be surprising if mom lost her phone running between work and soccer practice drop-off or if she were to "lose" her phone in her ginormous wonder bag. avast! Anti-Theft helps locate, control and lock lost or stolen phones remotely, GPS track and sound a siren alarm, making it simple to retrieve missing devices.

Is your Twitter stream getting an little overwhelming? If so, or if your just looking to improve your @Klout score or kill some time on a rainy day, one thing to consider is purging your Twitter list of people you are following, but who for whatever reason are not following you back (shocking right?).
As using twitter.com for this would be very tedious, several developers have created applications that you can link to your account to automate this task. While this is by no means an exhaustive list, a couple of our favorite tools include:
Free, easy to use interface that allows you to display all the users who are not following your account as well anyone not following you back.
Includes stats about users such such as their # of follows, how long ago their last Tweet was sent, total number of tweets and Klout score. You can also sort you list of follower / non-followers by these metrics. In addition tweepi allows you to preview profiles and follow / follow en bulk. By far the best tool I have found so far.
Friend or Follow
While this does have an option to export a CSV file of users your following or who are not following you back as well as an option to filter verified from non-verified accounts, when I tested it the hover-over feature in which it displays details about a user's profile and allows you to un-follow was not working. However, if you are looking to quickly and simply to screen people to follow back this tool works very well.
While unTweeps does not have the additional features that Tweepi and Friend or Follow do, I keep it bookmarked just in case these other services start charging. While somewhat useful for flushing stale followers, it lacks the ability to sort users and only displays a list of people who have not sent an update in a given number of days. Not sure why you would want or need their paid option which allows you to use the service more than 3 times per month.
Others: TwUnfollow is something I recall having used in the past, but as of this writing their site is experiencing issues and was currently down. Anything else you have seen or used?
As Washington D.C. looks to further establish itself as a center for technological innovation, isn't it fair to ask that our candidates and elected officials maintain a professional online presence? In reviewing the websites and social media accounts of candidates for the vacant at-large seat on the Washington D.C. City Council, is there anything you see (or don't see) that sways your vote one way or another?

Overall a good site site and only the 3rd one I have seen with an email signup box on the homepage. Donations also link off-site to Paypal.
Facebook: Like Mr. Orange, the campaign decided to create a group instead of a page, however Mr. Brown does have a respectable 378 members.
Twitter: @tombrownyes 169 Tweets, 55 Followers
Vincent Orange: http://www.orangeatlarge.com/
Powered by Salsa, Mr. Orange has the best campaign site of all the candidates. All the features work well and the site has a clean design that is content rich and easy to navigate. Also to his credit, Mr. Orange has the longest and most detailed "Issues" section of any candidate in the race.
However in the campaign flyer I received today, Mr. Orange's campaign highlights his Washington Post Endorsement- from the 2010 election. While this is an interesting tactical choice, the obvious intent is to confuse voters into thinking that the Washington Post has endorsed Mr. Orange for this election, when in fact they endorsed Patrick Mara.
Facebook: Using an "old-school" Facebook group, the campaign is posting lots of content but getting very little engagement. 343 total members.
Twitter: Although there is not a link on the website, it appears Mr. Orange does have a Twitter account @VincentOrangeDC which has sent 138 Tweets and has 235 Followers.
Got ideas for improving on the old the 'series of tubes' we call the Internet? If your idea meets the following criteria, students from Harvard and Stanford might actually implement it:
- Does the solution meaningfully contribute to building a better Internet?
- Does it enhance openness, accessibility, security, or something else of value to the public?
- Does the solution effectively respond to a particular problem or need?
- What, realistically, will the project change about the Internet? How significant will the change be?
- Does the proposal account for realistic challenges and constraints?
From the press release:
"The Berkman Center and Stanford Law School are pleased to announce a new initiative in which we invite the world to submit their 'Ideas for a Better Internet.' We are seeking out brief proposals from anyone with ideas as to how to improve the Internet. Students at Harvard and Stanford will work through early next year to implement the ideas selected. Interested parties should submit their ideas at http://bit.ly/i4bicfp by Friday, April 15. Please spread the word far and wide, and follow us on Twitter at @Ideas4BetterNet"

SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Josh Hamilton knows there will be some boos when he returns to Arlington the first week of the season.
If he performs the way he did during his first game against Texas on Thursday night, they will be well earned.Hamilton hit one of four home runs for Los Angeles in the top of the fourth inning off Derek Lowe, but the Angels lost 10-9 to the Rangers."The guys already have a poll on the team, if I'll get more claps or boos," Hamilton said before the game."I can't worry about it. There are people that clap and people that will boo. I think it's funny. I got booed when I played there, why wouldn't I get booed when I play for the Angels and play there?"Hamilton isn't the first player to move from the Rangers to their division rivals on the West Coast. C.J. Wilson switched teams before last season after signing a free-agent deal and went 13-10 with a 3.83 ERA for the Angels.But Wilson didn't have the same cache as Hamilton. He overcame drug addiction to win an MVP award become one of the games biggest stars.In five seasons with Texas, Hamilton hit .305 with 142 home runs and 506 RBIs with another six homers and 22 RBIs in the Rangers' two World Series runs.The Angels rewarded him with a five-year, $125-million contract. Though expectations are high, Hamilton said he's not feeling any additional pressure."Somebody told me to think about the contract you sign now, but you're really getting paid for what you've done in the past," said Hamilton, who finished 1 for 3. "So don't put extra pressure on yourself to perform. Just go out, have fun, play the game and contribute any way you can."Earlier this spring, a minor firestorm broke out when Hamilton said the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex was more of a football town. But he said Thursday he wasn't questioning the priorities of the Rangers fans."When you start thinking about having 50,000 out on a Friday night instead of high school football games, that's fun," he said. "I'm glad the fans came out. Everybody loves a winner. Everybody comes out to watch a winner."I spent so much time with the fans, not because I wanted to get them to like me but because I wanted to," he added. "When we go back there, if there's somebody ragging me, cussing me or whatever the case may be, it's still not going to stop me from signing autographs and spending time with them."Hamilton, Albert Pujols, Howie Kendrick and Hank Conger homered during the Angels' six-run fourth inning against Rangers starter Derek Lowe that pulled Los Angeles to 7-6.Lowe had allowed only two hits in his first three innings, facing the minimum nine batters, before struggling in the fourth."Wow. I should have stopped," said Lowe, who was pitching for the third time in seven days. "It was unbelievable. It's hard to do. All kidding aside, it just shows you how important location is. Get the ball over the middle of the plate and bad things are going to happen."Conger had a two-run triple in the sixth that put Los Angeles ahead 8-7. Erick Aybar added a solo shot in the seventh.Leonys Martin, the only Texas starter to play the full nine innings, hit a bases-loaded double in the bottom of the ninth to give the Rangers their third win in four games."They put some runs up in a hurry," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "But we can do that, too."Ian Kinsler doubled and scored in the first, then the Rangers used eight straight hits off Angels starter Jerome Williams to six more runs for a 7-0 lead.Williams allowed the seven runs on 11 hits while facing only 14 batters. He struck out one.Game notes

Firefighters work at the scene of a crash on the Spaulding Turnpike this morning. A Subaru is seen trapped under a tractor-trailer truck. (Ryan McBride/Staff photographer)
DOVER — Icy conditions have turned local roadways treacherous this morning. Portions of the Spaulding Turnpike have been shut down and in one crash there is a car stuck under a tractor trailer.And in an earlier accident, on the I-95 bridge between Kittery, Maine, and Portsmouth, a pickup truck caught fire.Part of the Spaulding Turnpike in Dover was closed to traffic shortly before 11 a.m. as the roadway is suffering the most in the past hour from crashes related to icy road conditions.There are so many crashes along the Spaulding in Dover, N.H. State Police are reported to be sending as many units as possible to the city.The most recent crash involves three-vehicles, including a tractor trailer truck with a Subaru stuck underneath the trailer. The vehicles were crashed in the breakdown lane.No injuries have been reported in that accident, but emergency personnel are on scene investigating.

For those that have been a Style Pantry reader for a while, you know I like loose fitting clothes.
Occasionally, you'd find me wearing a fitted piece…like skinnies or the flirty cut-out maxi in this post. But for the most part, my tomboy tendencies shines through in my outfits
Wearing: Scarf print shirt – I recommended it on our twitter page about 3 weeks ago. Almost sold out, but available here – also love this one. White flares available here or on sale here or there.
Bought my necklace at a boutique around my sister's house while I was on vacay. Couldn't resist…my favorite color! Found a piece pretty similar here -love this one via Guess too.
Bag – Marc Jacobs. Enjoy….xx

I love Midraka and while it isn't always the best pick for your team, she is a ***** to deal with for most champs mid lane. She pretty much owns almost every single melee mid laner because of her insane early game harass, albeit at lower range. Runes: Magic pen marks Armor seals MR or scaling MR glyphs Movespeed quints Masteries: 9/21/0 Skill Order: R>Q>E>W *If you are doing well R>Q>W>E *If you aren't doing well or need to sustain better Sometimes I like to get heal to rank 3 after maxing Q then start dumping points into E. Starting items vary on match ups. I will usually do faerie charm with pots and a ward or flask with a pot and ward. You need to have wards up 24/7 with Midraka, because she is very easily ganked. Vs an AP lane that you are doing well in: boots 1 2x doran's rings on your first buy If you are losing or it is a lane opponent with sustain or pushing power, get chalice over doran's rings. I personally like revolver on Midraka for sustain and for winning trades. Yes it is diminished on her Q, but trust me it adds up. Rylais is an incredible item for Midraka because of the perma slow potential that she brings to the team to pursue harder and kite forever. Liandry's to synergize with Rylais perma slow is very strong. Tier 2 boots should be defensive boots Lots of hard cc=Mercs Lots of auto attackers=Tabi Endless slows with a lack of threatening hard cc=Swiftness If none of the above are true=Lucidity Abyssal Scepter is another great item that synergizes well with Raka's MR shred since it basically gives her 2 free stacks when her Q is at max rank. If the enemy team has 2 or more AD champs, Frozen Heart is the best item you can get for the situation. It gives her everything she needs: CDR, lots of armor, a mana pool and the great aura. I will usually wait till later on in the game to decide if I want to upgrade revolver to wota and chalice to athene's. Sometimes it is just best to sell both and rely on blue buff for your mana regen, and your two heals for sustain. The revolver and chalice are more for early to mid game power, late game you will need to purchase your sixth item depending on the situation. Wota if you have a double AP Morellonomicon if the enemy team has a lot of healing and sustain in fights (Sell chalice if you need this) Zhonya's vs catch/ dive heavy teams Warmog's for supreme tankiness Guardian Angel if you are getting focused That's pretty much all you need to know for now! :P
Critmaster Garen
Hey Kades, if you would kindly answer my considerations about Soraka, I would greatly appreciate it. Now I don't want to play her mid as I prefer other champions there, but I want to pick her up as my go-to support because I really like her appearance, unique abilities and the fact that she is severely underplayed right now. However, I don't want to build her as a boring healbot for the ADC. I wonder if a support tank build would be feasible and effective. Masteries would be a mix between defense and support, runes would be a lot of defense and possibly magic penetration reds, on top of gp10 quints. I feel you really need that survivability bot in order to deal damage in the first place. I have no idea about skill order, neither about summoners. Items would have to prioritize CDR and defense, because I think that with the limited amount of gold and the need to be kinda tanky in order to stay in the fight hitting those Q all the time, I cannot aim for AP directly. Just as you laid out in your first post, the CDR alone will be responsible for a lot of damage and her ratios aren't all that great in the first place. I haven't had a chance to test this out yet and I am still uncertain about rank ups, summoners and items, so could you please lend me your aid in theorizing a good build for me?

Mid Soraka
Oh I found interesting gem posted by Kades I am a mid/top AP Soraka player. I got to Diamond 2 with just playing AP Soraka and a few games of jungle eves. I actually never maxed q first. I always maxed e first, as q does more dmg but has high mana cost and pushes lane so hard. I will write a guide one day after I get to Dia 1, and maybe also try q max first

This is the first time I've kegged so I'm very unsure about the process... So I've got two batches of beer "coconut porter" and "strawberry wheat" which have been sitting in a carboy for 3 weeks. I'm about to add the kegging sugar and keg these two beers. I'm using beersmith recipie creator and it has me using 1.5-2.5oz of sugar for each batch, this seams really low compared to the 3/4 cup I used when I bottling... I don't expect that beer smith is wrong, but why is less used when kegging rather than bottling? After I add the kegging sugar... what next? It sits at fermentation temperatures for another 3+ weeks to let the yeast carbonate the beer? Then I refrigerate? Do I let it age in the keg at all? If so, at refrigerated temperatures of fermentation temperatures? Or somewhere in between?
I'd force carb the keg... if you prime it you'll end up bleeding off more yeast off the bottom of the keg. Basically wasted beer...
Someone told me that force carbed beers have a forced carb taste. That the natural way creates smaller more enfused bubbles. Either way I'd still like to know the technique for both
I only force carb, the key is still to wait and let co2 get into the fluid at the level you want. There are a ton of methods and threads covering them, but what I do is bring the keg to temp, hook it up to the gas at serving temp, then I bleed off the air that floats to the top. Then I get my workout shaking that keg until I need to call my doctor. Then I let it sit for an hour, a day to a week at pressure till its good to go. Using sugar just adds too much yeast back into the good stuff.
Co2 is Co2... I guess you can get more noticable carbonic acid if you force at high pressure and drink it right away. If you just least it as serving pressure for week it tastes fine.
I just put my keg under serving pressure in my kegerator and bleed out the air then give it a little shake. Then I let it sit a week or so and its ready. I think the biggest culprit of "forced carb taste" etc. is people not having the patience to wait it out properly and want to drink the next day once on tap. Some may even confuse that taste with green beer since when using priming sugar one pretty much has to wait a few more weeks to let it carb. As far as your question though, I don't get that difference either myself. 5gal is 5gal to me and the only reason to vary from the standard might be due to the style of beer and volume of CO2 wanted etc... Best of luck!
Sorry, I just read "coconut porter" and gagged a bit... I have an aversion to that stuff. Just wanted to say.
Coconut is a love it or hate it sort of food.
You use less priming sugar because the headspace in a keg is different than the headspace of a bottle. weight is the right way to do priming sugar, but for a volume measurment, its usually just 1/2 cup sugar in a keg, versus 2/3 cup when bottling 5 gallons at an 'average' CO2 volume.

I just called to order a black 1.5" belt loop for my Brown MacDaniell II holster. I'm going to try a 5-stitch Wilderness Tactical belt and wanted to get black loops to go along with it. They have the standard silver one-way snaps and now have the option of a matte-black one way snap. I went with the matte-black option.
Cost of extra loops are $5+S/H. He took my order and delivery information and said "thank you very much I'll have them in the mail today", I said "wait, don't forget the payment information", and was pleasantly surprised that he said he would send them for free. I thanked him immensely.

Moral distress generally refers to distress specifically resulting from moral or ethical dilemmas, or from compromising one's moral integrity. It's defined nicely in the following abstract links:
Moral distress is widely discussed in the nursing literature, in articles like these:
A google search using the term "moral distress" will yield dozens of useful articles and materials on this subject.
Moral residue generally refers to the residual or "remnant" stress resulting from unresolved moral issues. The realization that there are few moral dilemmas with only one solution or "ethical pathway" can also result in moral residue as we contemplate the moral road not taken.

text: An unexpected reunionShepard and Kaidan meet for the first time after Horizon.All characters belong to Bioware._______________________________ShepardThey have returned, all of them, alive and in one piece, well, except the ship. That was the main reason why it has taken them so long to reach the citadel after the defeat of the collectors. Joker had to be careful while flying the ship through the relays, but Shepard had wanted the repairs to be done there rather than Omega. Plus, a little chat with Anderson was awaiting her.She could not yet measure the consequences of her decision to destroy the Collectors base, but she knew that the Illusive Man would make a move, sooner or later. And maybe it was the right time to give the last proof of her loyalty to the Alliance and that she had no longer any bound with Cerberus. She had managed to get some civilian clothes, since the ones she had had been destroyed with the original Normandy and that she was pretty bored of wearing some look al

TUNKHANNOCK — A West Nanticoke man facing vehicle theft charges was accused by state police at Tunkhannock with using stolen cars to burglarize two businesses in Wyoming County.
State police allege Andrew Michael Chewey, 29, of West Poplar Street, smashed a window at Lorbeez Country Store on state Route 29 in Monroe Township, Wyoming County, on Sept. 10 and tried to steal a cash register. He allegedly forced his way into The Dock Doctor, a deck construction business, on Route 29, Eaton Township, on Sept. 17.
State police said Chewey drove away from the businesses after burglar alarms sounded.
Chewey allegedly used a Ford Explorer for the Lorbeez Store attempted heist and a Ford Econoline plumbing van for the burglary. The two Fords were reported stolen from the Wilkes-Barre area, state police said.
Arrest records in related cases say state police found the Ford Explorer crushed at a scrap yard in Hunlock Township on Sept. 23.
Chewey was arraigned Monday by District Judge Carl W. Smith in Tunkhannock on two counts each of burglary, criminal trespass and criminal mischief, and a single count of theft. Court records say Chewey was also arraigned on charges he burglarized a place of worship in Northmoreland Township, Wyoming County, on June 6.
He was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $600,000 bail. He has been jailed since his arrest by state police on Sept. 20, when he was spotted sitting in a 2003 Chevrolet Venture in the area of Wood and South Franklin streets in Wilkes-Barre.
State police allege Chewey stole the Chevrolet from a church parking lot in West Nanticoke earlier on Sept. 20. He allegedly admitted to state police he stole the van and used it to go buy heroin, according to arrest records.
Chewey and Donald Mosely, 43, of Wilkes-Barre, and Douglas Johnson, 51, of Nanticoke, are also facing chop shop charges related to crushing the Ford Explorer, court records say.

Girl Scouts of the Chesapeake Bay has been chosen to host focus groups to help GSUSA finalize the new Outdoor Badges, to be revealed March 12.
GSUSA recently piloted the first ever Girls' Choice voting experience, where girls had the opportunity to vote on Outdoor Badges. First, girls selected the Outdoor Recreation theme, and then narrowed it down to Outdoor Exploration.
For the next step, GSUSA is conducting focus groups across the country to solicit girl feedback on draft versions of the badges. These focus groups will meet at the GSCB Newark Resource Center on Saturday, February 21, 2015 and the GSCB Peninsula Resource Center on Saturday, February 28, 2015. Download full description and application form.
The Newark Post Friday, February 6, 2015
With the new online component called Digital Cookies, Girl Scouts like Kylie Coleman can track the number of boxes sold online in real time and can even manually add those sold door-to-door or to family and friends in person.
Kylie Coleman is only 8, but she has already learned how to manage money, interact with customers, set goals and understand business ethics. (Click for more on the 5 Skills.)
In her fourth year as a member of the Girl Scouts of the Chesapeake Bay, Kylie will also add online business and marketing tactics to her learned repertoire of skills through the Girl Scouts' new Digital Cookie program.
"I love all of it," Kylie said. "But my favorite part is selling the cookies." Her goal this year was to sell 250 boxes of Thin Mints, Samoas and other cookies. Kylie's mom, Karla Coleman, said Digital Cookie helped her daughter achieve that total with the added ability to sell boxes to family members out of state who normally do not purchase them. "She's very ambitious," Coleman said. "Hopefully she'll sell a lot more cookies."
In order to sell cookies digitally, Girl Scouts received an email to create a personalized web page. Parents could then aid their daughters in setting up their accounts and sending a link to family members and friends via email or social media. To ensure safety, parents and girls are encouraged to promote their page through private accounts specifically to people they know. "Safety is really key with this," said Jennifer Acord, communications and marketing manager for GSCB. "We wanted a platform that was safe and fun to use that younger girls could also work with parents to use." Read more

A Dig into Jerusalem's past fuels present-day debates
The site is on a narrow terrace at the edge of the Kidron Valley, which sheers away from the Old City walls, in a cliffside area the Bible describes as the seat of the kings of ancient Israel.
What is taking shape in the rocky earth, marked by centuries of conquest and development, is as contested as the neighborhood of Arabs and Jews encircling the excavation. But the Israeli archaeologist Eilat Mazar believes the evidence she has uncovered during months of excavation and biblical comparison points to an extraordinary discovery.
She believes she has found the palace of King David, the poet-warrior who the Bible says consolidated the ancient Jewish kingdom around the 10th century B.C. and expanded its borders to encompass the Land of Israel. Others are doubtful.
"There is sometimes a reality, a very precise reality, though maybe not all true, described in the Bible," Mazar said. "This is giving the Bible's version a chance."
Mazar's find is emerging at the nexus of history, religion and politics, volatile forces that have guided building, biblical scholarship and war in this city for millennia. Even before the findings have been assembled in a scientific paper, the discovery is prompting new thinking about when Jerusalem rose to prominence, the nature of the early Jewish kingdom, and whether the Bible can be used as a reliable map to archaeological discovery.

The best thing about this place is the location. It is right behind the Duomo and can walk to most places. Room is nice and tidy. Staff are professional but not friendly.
Central location although once inside you would never know you were in a busy town (we were given a room at the rear). Breakfast was all you could want and the breakfast room was pleasant. Room itself spotlessly clean and comfortable. Would recommend without any hesitation.

room,location and clean room!no need to use public transportation..very close to historical center but so away from the noise!congrats!
breakfast could have been better..
The best thing about this place is the location. It is right behind the Duomo and can walk to most places. Room is nice and tidy. Staff are professional but not friendly.
Breakfast is a little bit boring.
We could not have find a better place to stay in Florence. Five minutes walking distance to the dome (if you walk slowly). Lorenzo and his staff are exremely helpful, but you will not notice them, until you need something. Very friendy staff, wonderful breakfast, spacious room, quiet place. (BTW: A wonderful restaurant in also five minutes walking distance is the Tuscan trattoria Acqucotta, Via dei Pilatri 51r, tel. 055-242907 - follow their wine recommandations, splendid food, be sure to make reservations especially on weekends).
Central location although once inside you would never know you were in a busy town (we were given a room at the rear). Breakfast was all you could want and the breakfast room was pleasant. Room itself spotlessly clean and comfortable. Would recommend without any hesitation.
A great place to stay for couples or families. Very close to the beach and all the restaurants. We had a lovely time, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and comfortable. We would definitely recommend this place and are looking forward to our next visit.
The Ghiberti House and his creative crew combined history ambience with modern equipment in a very good feeling atmosphere.
The room had everything you needed and was spacious. Wi fi in room was excellent and even had a computer in the room. Location was excellent and car park was nearby.
The owners make you feel very comfortable and are very helpful, gave us a very good recommendation for an authentic local restaurant. Location is brilliant around the corner from the Duomo
Breakfast selection especially of eggs needs to be improved and shower cubicle a bit small....
Perfect location. You can walk everywhere. Clean. Breakfast is not great but good.
Location, Location, Location!!!! Right next to the Piazza del Duomo. The rooms were nicely decorated and clean. The staff was very helpful and took their work very seriously, however you wouldn't get a single smile from them.
breakfast was the same every day - variety would be nice. I assume breakfast would be prepared a night before and so the cold meats would lie in the fridge all night and be a bit dry in the morning. Staff was very professional but not really friendly
We stayed at Tourist House Ghiberti in Aug 2014 and can recommend it without any hesitation. Superb location, very functional rooms, clean, convenient bed, adequate breakfast and fantastic / super helpful staff. We happened to get into a serious trouble at the last day of our trip to Florence. Hotel's stuff did everything and more to help us regardless to the fact that we already checked out.
It was all perfect! Lorenzo was so so kind and helpful! The room was very beautiful and big enough with an extra big and extra comfortable bed! The breakfast excellent!! A place, that's been cared in every detail by its owners! Bravo!!!
The place was spacious and clean, but maintained its character. My room was missing nothing - safe, minibar, computer... Amazing.
Location perfect - very close to the Duomo and in walking distance from the train station. Nice breakfast that could be enjoyed in a small garden. Room was very clean and spacy.
The wifi was a bit unstable and slow. Nothing else.
Claudio & his lovely wife don't cut corners when it comes to cleanliness, comfort, food, decor, amenities & technology. They thought of everything. Great location right near the duomo. Room size was spacious. Freshly made breakfast daily. Claudio was very informative on our stay. We really liked the attention to detail the host has put into this place.
Shower was a bit small yet clean but only a minor thing.
Claudio and Kristelle were perfect hosts - friendly and chatty but not intrusive. The facilities are excellent in every respect. I was impressed by the thoughtfulness that has informed even small details. Breakfast is perfect, the rooms clean and well-equipped. The position is fantastic, close to the Duomo, but a very quiet neighbourhood at night. Thank you for making my Florence stay so wonderful.
Rooms are lovely and spacious for European facilities. Staff very timely with requests. Breakfast very good.
Pillows were lumpy.
Perfect location, charming and helpful staff, delightfully unstuffy atmosphere are contributed to a pleasant stay. The room was surprisingly large and comfortable for the price in this location. Claudio was the kind of guy with whom I felt sit down and talk about anything over a glass of wine or beer. It could be like visiting friends, or if you prefer, you are left on your own.
Eventually, I had to leave to catch my flight home. :-)
great staff; great location
breakfast was OK but could be improved pretty easily --
Staff so helpful and pleasant. Breakfast patio delightful. Great location.
All great!
Very good location, great room, great staff

Finally: Supply of Homes for Sale Begins to Rise
By Diana Olick, CNBC Real Estate Reporter
NEW YORK ( CNBC) -- For the first time in over six months, the supply of homes for sale is beginning to rise.
While inventories are still down nearly 20% from a year ago, they did rise more than the seasonal norm in February from January, according to a new report from the National Association of Realtors.
The raw number of for-sale listings rose 10% month-to-month, and when seasonally adjusted, they were up 2.6%, the biggest jump in over two years.
"Tight inventory has been a critical issue for the housing market: The limited supply of homes has fueled bidding wars and has meant that buyers have little to choose from and agents have little to sell," said Trulia.com's Jed Kolko. "Inventory has been tightening because construction levels are still low, adding little new housing stock, and homeowners are waiting to sell until they have more positive equity. This inventory spiral been especially severe since prices bottomed." More from CNBC

Atletico Madrid target Manchester City star David Silva - EXCLUSIVE
EXCLUSIVEAtletico Madrid are planning a shock summer move for Manchester City's homesick winger David Silva. After taking a few weeks to adapt to life in the Premier League, Silva has been one of City's best players this season but is struggling with life in England, particularly the weather. Homeward bound: Atletico Madrid are planning a summer move for homesick Manchester City winger David Silva Silva comes from Gran Canaria where the average winter temperature is 23 degrees Celsius and wanted to stay in Spain when he left Valencia in the summer but City were the only club prepared to pay the ?24million asking price. Silva's struggle to adapt to life in Manchester has alerted Atletico, who wanted to sign him last season and they have already held talks with his agent Julio Llorente. Pain game: Silva has struggled to settle at City since his ?24million arrival from Valencia at the start of the season Atletico are aware that even if City could be persuaded to sell one of the best assets they would want to at least recuperate the money they paid for the 25-year-old but they are willing to negotiate and offer players in part exchange. City will be hoping Silva changes his mind about life in England, especially following last weekend's super display in the Manchester derby at Old Trafford, in which he scored City's goal in a 2-1 defeat. McClaren fears City could wait a while before Dzeko kicks on at EastlandsCity's latest line-up...
