Browser Ransomware Attacks are Massive in Scale
avast! Virus Lab infographic shows how prolific and wide-spread Browser Ransomware attacks have been over the last three months.
During December I wrote about the tricks and tactics of Browser Ransomware. Browser Ransomware is malware that works in different types of browsers to prevent people from using their PCs. To get access back to their own PC, the victim of this malware must pay a ransom to unblock it. The key to success for this attack is its translations into many different languages, giving the cybercrooks a bigger pool of potential victims.
Today I would like to look back on Browser Ransomware attacks and share some data from our avast! CommunityIQ with you.
We detect Ransomware attacks using several different methods. The detections I checked were created January 30, 2014. I was really surprised at the huge impact this attack has had on AVAST users.
- In a little under 3 months, AVAST protected more than a half million unique users around the world from Ransomware attacks.
- In the past 6 weeks, AVAST users have unknowingly visited a site with Ransomware on it over 18 million times.
- During last 24 hours, AVAST stopped redirection from infected sites to sites hosting Ransomware for more than 18,000 unique users. Read more…
Fake government ransomware holding Android devices hostage
Ransomware, which has already made its rounds on Windows, is now increasingly targeting the Android operating system. A new piece of mobile malware claiming to be the government under the name Android: Koler-A is now targeting users.
We have full control of your phone – give us $300 and we'll give it back
The ransomware is pushed automatically from fake porn sites visited by Android users via a malicious .apk file that appears in the form of an app. The innocent appearance of the app deceives users and is a powerful social engineering tactic used by malware developers to trick people into installing malicious apps. The form of delivery is not the only thing that makes the app suspicious and potentially dangerous, but the access it seeks are highly unusual and alarming. The ransomware requests full network access, permission to run at startup and permission to prevent the phone from sleeping. Once installed the granted access allows the ransomware to take control of the device. The full network access allows the malicious app to communicate over the web and download the ransom message that is shown on the captive device. The permission to run at startup and prevent the phone from sleeping fully lockdown the phone, preventing victims from escaping the ransom message.
The ransomware localizes fake government messages, depending on the users GPS location, accusing them of having viewed and downloaded inappropriate and illegal content. What does the ransomware do next? Demands ransom of course! The ransom to regain access to the device including all of its apps, which it claims are all encrypted, is set at around $300 and is to be paid through untraceable forms of payment such as MoneyPak.
avast! Mobile Security safeguards against ransomware
Both AVAST's free and premium mobile security apps, avast! Mobile Security and avast! Mobile Premium, protect customers from falling for the devious apps containing ransomware. AVAST detects this ransomware under the name Android: Koler-A and blocks its execution.
We recommend that everyone be cautious when downloading apps, especially from unofficial app markets. We also urge users to not open any files that have been downloaded to their device without their consent. Always check what apps want to access and in addition to being cautious, we advise people download antivirus to protect their devices. This new ransomware appearing on Android is the perfect example of how malware is starting to move away from the PC environment and into our pockets and there are no signs of this slowing down.

WordPress plugin vulnerability puts mobile visitors at risk
Today one of our colleagues came into our office and said, "Hey guys, I've been infected." I thought to myself, yeah, how bad can this be? After a bit of digging we found the results were worth it; it turned out to be a really "interesting " case of mobile redirected threats localized for each country.
All you need is one bad IP
The case was brought to us by Jakub Carda, a fellow AVAST employee who enjoys blogging in his free time. His WordPress site was compromised through a vulnerability in WordPress, more precisely OptimizePress. OptimizePress is a WordPress plugin that fully integrates itself into the WordPress CMS, helping bloggers optimize their blog's design. A tiny mistake in the code of a file located in: lib/admin/media-upload.php made it possible for pretty much anyone to upload harmful content onto people's WordPress sites, and plenty of websites have been compromised because of this.
Behind the CARO conference's curtains: Meet AVAST speakers!
For seven years, the CARO Workshop has been hosted in Europe. It is an outstanding technical meeting, attended by some of the best malware researchers in the world. In 2014, the CARO workshop comes to America. ~CARO's conference official website
We are proud and happy to introduce you to our AVAST speakers and Security Experts from the Virus Lab. Peter Kálnai and Filip Chytrý are going to CARO's (Computer Antivirus Research Organization) workshop to"Declare war against Android Malware." We sat together and talked about their presentation, mobile malware, and general trends in the security industry.
Meet our security experts: Peter and Filip.
The theme for this year's CARO conference is Mobile Space: Malware in a mobile world. As security experts, what changes and specific trends in malware development have you observed?
FILIP Well, this may sound cliché, but the amount of mobile threats are rising and more sophisticated attacks appear every day. A few years ago, we would observe mostly primitive malware with only one or two capabilities such as to send paid SMS or track your movements. Now, however we have malware that can root your phone and became a device administrator, or command and control Apps which take control of your device by attackers. That's why I believe we can stay tuned for more conferences concentrated on Android malware. CARO is first, but hopefully not the last, conference focused on Android and mobile threats.
PETER I can't recollect a different example, but this year's CARO Workshop seems to be the first IT security conference completely devoted to mobile malware. The topic of our talk reflects trends in the Android threat landscape. Security experts nowadays observe an increased ratio of total malicious Android packages to unique malware families. Two particular cases appear most: The expansion of usage of Android packers and repackaging benign application with malicious code, so called piggybacking. Read more…
Declaring machine war against malicious Android packages
Do you know the notion "machine war"? If you're a fan of the Matrix movie trilogy then probably, yes. It denotes the fictional rise of artificially intelligent machines against the human race and their violent conquest of human beings. We want to apply a similar dominance of computationally powerful machines, not to create a population of slaves, but against numerous malicious Android packages that wildly proliferate on unofficial markets.
The idea of malware detection with no human interaction appeared earlier on our blog. In a fundamental article about AVAST research activities by AVAST's COO, Ondřej Vlček, he effectively described the technologies we employ to deal with Windows threats. Two techniques have been mentioned explicitly, Malware Similarity Search and Evo-Gen, both working with Windows PE file format. Sometimes the latter form of detection technique is denoted as weak automated anti-malware heuristic.
The main effort is to reach two slightly conflicting qualities at the same time: The robustness, which means that suggested methods cover as many threats as possible; and simplicity, so that the methods are easily implemented in AVAST's mobile security solution. The search for balance between those qualities is assisted by lessons learned from automated heuristic for Windows PE executables.
Email with subject "FW:Bank docs" leads to information theft
In this blogpost we will look deep into a spam campaign, where unlike other possible scenarios, the victim is infected by opening and running an email attachment. In the beginning of this year, we blogged about a spam campaign with a different spam message – a fake email from the popular WhatsApp messenger. This time we will look at spam email which tries to convince the victim that it originates from his bank. The malicious email contains contents similar to the following one:
Subject: FW: Bank docs
We have received this documents from your bank, please review attached documents.

The Gray-zone of malware detection in Android OS
Does the title of this blog post have a mysterious meaning? Not exactly.
In this first part about the gray-zone of Android malware detections, I will introduce the Android:SecApk, a detection regarding the protection that the App Shield (Bangcle) offers to Android applications (.apk). This detection has a big sample set that is still growing. Some SecApk wrapped samples that existed or still exist in the Google Play Store and third party stores, can be seen in the table below.
Name \ Info
\ PUP – An application to promote a specific movie. Potentially unwanted because of the extended permissions that was requested.
Current Status: Removed from Google Play
\PUP – A game that have potentially unwanted permissions that they can drive to loss of private personal info.
\PUP – A screensaver application that has permissions unrelated with the purpose of the app.
\Pup – This application is a tennis game. Potentially unwanted because of the extended permissions that was requested.
\Malware – This app steal personal data and SMS messages from the user.
The App Shield is an online service that, after a submission of an .apk, encrypts it and adds some layers of protection. The procedure of the encryption and protection of the apk will be discussed with more detail during the course of the second part of this blog post.
Starting with the submission process, a clean app named AvstTest.apk uploaded to the service. The exported .apk was renamed as AvstTest[SecApk].apk. In addition, apktool and dex2jar used accordingly to decode the .apk resources and convert the '.dex' files to '.jar'.
Pretty women. Which one will infect you?
Malware which opens pictures of attractive women to entice its victims has been around for some time. Last month there were more than usual, so I decided to research malware that pretends to be a regular picture, and the results are pretty interesting.
We looked for executable samples with two distinct characteristics: 1. .jpg in their name, and 2. no older than the last three months. About 6,000 unique files which matched this criteria were found. From these samples, we noticed that pretending to be an image is not a family specific criteria but we identified that Win32:Zbot is represented more than other malware e.g. MSIL:Bladabindi-EV, Win32:Banker-JXB,BV:Bicololo-CY, etc.
The important message is that most of these samples are distributed by scams which are sent by email or posted on social media sites. An example of an email scam is pictures below. If you are interested in what the social media scam looks like and how to protect yourself, you should read one of our previous blog posts.
Fake Korean bank applications for Android – Pt 3
Recently, we discovered an account on GitHub, a service for software development projects, that has interesting contents. The account contains several projects; one of the latest ones is called Banks, and it has interesting source codes. The account contains information like user name, photo, and email address, but we cannot tell who the guy in the picture is. He might not be related to the contents at all, it could be a fake picture, fake name, or simply his account may have been hacked, his identity stolen, and the Banks repository created by someone else without his consent. In this blog post, we will explore the source codes in detail.
When we downloaded the repository, we found several directories – GoogleService and fake applications imitating mobile applications of five major Korean banks – NH Bank, Kookmin Bank, Hana Bank, ShinHan Bank and Woori Bank.
We previously published two blog posts with analyses of the above mentioned fake applications.
When we look at GitHub statistics, and Punchcard tab, it tells us what time the creators were most active. From the chart below you can see, that Saturday mornings and evenings and Sunday evenings were the most active times of comments of new versions. It seems that authors of this application do the development as a weekend job. At the time of writing this blogpost, the last update of fake bank applications was in the beginning of January 2014.
This is not the first attack against users of Korean banks. About a year ago, we published this analysis.
Github, the web-based hosting service for software development projects, offers a lot of interesting contents, which depending on its settings can be later found and accessed by virtually anyone, including Google robots. We managed to find the above mentioned repository by simply Googling the strings which occurred in a malicious Android application.
The author would like to thank to Peter Kalnai and David Fiser for help and consultations related to this analysis.

Google Play: Whats the newest threat on the official Android market?
Official app stores are the primary sources to finding and downloading apps. Experts advise users to stay within the official app stores as they are approved ecosystems, which are widely recognized as safe. But are these sources really trustworthy? Some experts, however, claim that "Android malware is non-existent and security companies just try to scare us. Keep calm and don't worry." So which is it?
We've already blogged about plenty of threats that sneak onto your device from trusted sources, but here we have a really fresh one, one that is still undetected by other security vendors. An Application called Cámara Visión Nocturna (package name: com.loriapps.nightcamera.apk), which is still available in the Google Play Store as I am writing this post, is something you definitely don't want to have on your Android device.
Starting with the application's permissions you might notice there are some unusual requests for an app that should be able to work only using your camera.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />

Had you already known each other or did you meet through DA?
No, we met through DA. I moved to the east-coast and realized she lived like a half hour away from me and basically stalked her and invaded her home, lol!
Thats what I would do, but the difference is that at the end of it I wouldn't end up in a white leotard doing stock photos with her. Instead I would end with an ass beating from her husband and some jail time. Oh well! lolz

Young Fellows Ball
Supporters of the Frick and their friends enjoyed a sumptuous evening at the annual Young Fellows Ball, now in its sixteenth year and one of the most highly regarded and widely covered social events of the New York season. This year's A Dance at the Spanish Court, on Thursday, March 26, was sponsored by LANVIN. The event took its inspiration from the special exhibition Coypel's Don Quixote Tapestries: Illustrating a Spanish Novel in Eighteenth-Century France.
Nearly 600 guests, many in red, black, or gold gowns with statement jewelry, and gem-studded accessories, filled the elegant Garden Court for cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, and danced in the Music Room until midnight to tracks spun by DJ Jason Fioto. They viewed the special exhibition and stepped back in time into the galleries that were once the private residence of Henry Clay Frick and his family.
Adding to the festive occasion were custom LANVIN LOVES THE FRICK COLLECTION fans that were distributed to guests on arrival. They were a perfect complement to the theme and could be seen in countless photo ops throughout the evening.
Dramatic visual design was created by L&M Lighting featuring imagery of slowly rotating windmills, which are strongly associated with the story of Don Quixote, projected at both ends of the grand Garden Court and on the ceiling of the Music Room.
Attendees enjoyed cava provided by Anna de Codorníu, wine provided by Raimat Chardonnay, and the evening's specialty cocktail, the Belvedere Don Q, created with vodka provided by Belvedere. All received gift bags including products from Financier Patisserie, Tervis Tumbler Co., and the Frick's Museum Shop.
Proceeds from the benefit provide essential support for the Frick's education program, which serves New York City public schools in all five boroughs, and for the Frick Art Reference Library.

SpiderWeb Profit Master
Instructions for SpiderWeb Profit Master – Now part of The WaveGenix Forex Box
If you're in a hurry, scroll down to the SUMMARY section!
As with all EX4 (Metatrader 4 Expert Advisor) plug-ins, the WaveGenix Forex Box (which wraps the diagnostic EA, Spiderweb, Bluebeam and Hedgeboost together) must be placed in your trading terminal's MQL4>>EXPERTS folder. Locate the folder where your Metatrader 4 is installed and navigate to the MQL4 >> Experts folder. Place the WaveGenix Forex Box in that folder. It should be visible in the drop-down list of expert advisors when you're running your trading terminal. If you can't see the terminal's NAVIGATOR window, press CTRL-N. To view all the available experts, click the + symbol next to the blue hat, where it says Expert Advisors. Scroll down through the list and you should see the WaveGenix Forex Box. For a more detailed version of this short paragraph, where everything for installation is explained better, CLICK HERE – it's the official WaveGenix Forex Box tutorial.
SpiderWeb Profit Master is designed to run throughout the entire trading week, Sunday 10 p.m. GMT through to Friday 8 p.m. GMT. You should leave it to run without interruption during this time. The weekend is a great opportunity to check whether everything's still up and running. Perhaps use a virtual private server, there are plenty of inexpensive providers on the internet.
SpiderWeb Profit Master has been extensively tested to run ONLY on the EUR-USD chart in the 1-minute (M1) time frame. It's also important to note that you'll need at least USD 250 in your account and your deposit shouldn't exceed USD 12,000. SpiderWeb Profit Master doesn't like trading depostits below USD 250. Nor does it play very nicely on accounts in excess of USD 12,000. In fact, it will refuse trading above USD 12,000 so please make sure you withdraw sufficient funds now and then to keep it below this amount. These measures have been imposed to prevent small accounts drying up and especially to prevent large corporations from exploiting this software on massive multi-million dollar accounts. Be aware that you'll need a leverage of 50-to-1. SpiderWeb Profit Master was tested with a 50:1 leverage. You'd be risking large or small amounts with unstable results if you were to use accounts which don't have a 50-to-1 leverage constraint. Your broker will be able to tell you which leverage level has been set, so just ask the broker if you're not sure.
Please make sure your account can trade lot sizes as small as 0.01 lots. These are referred to as mini lots by some brokers. Regardless of the name, this will be a requirement for effective trading using SpiderWeb Profit Master. Test this capability on your demo account before going live. 0.01 lots is the minimum lot size requirement.
As long as you've dragged the expert from the navigation window (remember, open the navigator using Ctrl and N) onto a EUR-USD M1 chart, everything should be working fine. You'll see a prompt window, asking you if you want manual confirmation, and whether to allow DLL imports, etc. Just click OK using the default settings (i.e. DON'T ask manual confirmation, DON'T allow DLL inports) and make sure the option is set to allow both trading directions. Your software must be able to freely trade either a BUY or a SELL, so make sure this is unrestricted. When everything's set up correctly, you'll notice a smiley face in the top-right corner of the trading chart. This means SpiderWeb Profit Master is able to open/manage/close trades for you.
Something to bear in mind is that SpiderWeb Profit Master (although it's wrapped inside the WaveGenix Forex Box) has been coded as a stand-alone plug-in. Don't interfere with its operations, unless of course you wish to manually close everything before going on vacation or whatever! It has been designed to run on auto-pilot, so you don't have to watch the screen all day long. SpiderWeb Profit Master needs exclusive running power in your trading terminal, in other words you shouldn't run any other expert advisors or indicators in the terminal which is running SpiderWeb Profit Master. Your account should NOT include any active trading from any outside source, i.e. YOU or another plug-in. SpiderWeb Profit Master needs exclusive rights to analyse it's own trades, nobody else's. Please stick to this rule otherwise the robot may not trade effectively. This also reduces the chances of that dreaded message, "Trade Context Busy". There are protective mechanisms in place to minimise the chances of context blockages and other broker tricks such as slippage requotes and so on. Leave SpiderWeb Profit Master to do it's thing exclusively on your trading account!
SpiderWeb Profit Master uses an artificial intelligence algorithm as part of its complex decision making. For this reason your active chart should contain at least 14 days of data. If not, attempt this method: Try to scroll your EUR-USD M1 chart back as far as possible. This will load as much candle data into the terminal as possible. Ideally you'll want to keep scrolling back though time until you have at least 2 or more weeks of historical data inside your chart. SpiderWeb Profit Master requires at least 14 days of historical M1 data before it can analyse and process for an intelligent decision.
- Install EX4 file to MQL4\Experts folder
- Use Ctrl-N to navigate in terminal
- EurUsd M1 chart is required
- Drag and drop onto EurUsd M1 chart
- USD 250 to USD 12,000 is required
- Leverage of 50-to-1 is required
- Minimum lot sizes of 0.01 required
- Leave the robot running all week
- At least 14 days of data required
Special notes…
SpiderWeb Profit Master must be running with a broker that allows fairly fast order closing. This means for example, if your broker takes a long time to respond, it may be time to look elsewhere. This would mean changing accounts or brokers, depending on how cooperative your broker wants to be for you. SpiderWeb Profit Master does NOT require hedging capabilities or partial closing capabilities. This means your account will never need a BUY position open at the same time as a SELL position. It will never need to split positions down in lesser partial closing sizes. The only important requirement for SpiderWeb Profit Master specifically is the good response time between requesting an order and having it filled.

Americans have known and sweated the unsustainability of rapidly rising healthcare costs for years, but until recently not much has been done about it on a national scale. That's because while any incentives to transform care have been well-intentioned, they didn't contain the keys to the transformation: money, and how it's distributed. It sounds crass to say so, but how the money is disbursed is perhaps the most powerful incentive.
That's not to say that most hospitals and health systems haven't long been working to improve their quality outcomes and patient satisfaction, but absent a compelling financial reason to spend the time, effort, and money to change, many valid efforts to improve the quality of care faced big obstacles.
With few exceptions, hospitals still are paid on a fee-for-service basis. But that's changing rapidly in both commercial and government payer relationships with healthcare providers. What's changing most rapidly appears to be hospitals' relationships with their physicians. Hospitals are forging closer relationships with a variety of specialties that have long been independent. That doesn't mean this forced marriage is easy, however.
Marlon Priest, MD, is part of a wave of empowered physician leaders who are helping their colleagues, whether employed by the health system or not, to make the transition. He's executive vice president and chief medical officer for Bon Secours Health System Inc., an 18-hospital health system based in Marriottsville, MD. For Bon Secours, blanket solutions are difficult to implement, because it owns some hospitals, manages others, and operates some via a joint-venture arrangement. Most of its physicians are independent. But to its credit, the health system's leaders saw good reason to invest in quality before it was about the money.
Priest credits the system's participation in the CMS/Premier Hospital Quality Incentive Demonstration project for sparking the transition toward quality and value. In short, the whole system participated and quality metrics became part of senior executives' risk-based compensation.

For the latest information on soda water and gout, club soda and gout, or any other form of carbonated or sparkling water, please see Best Home Remedies For Gout: Water.
I got what looked like a simple question today - "Can drinking club soda help my gout?"
It seemed simple enough, but as I thought through the question I ended up searching through pages and page of information about different aspects of fizzy water. It seemed simple enough, but as I thought through the question I ended up searching through pages and page of information about different aspects of fizzy water.
First of all, I looked at what club soda is. It varies. At it's most simple, it's just water with carbon dioxide forced into it. Commonly it has sodium added, hence its other common name soda water. Sodium is well known for raising the blood pressure. Not a true gout problem, but as many gout sufferers also have high blood pressure (hypertension) then it's worth pointing out the risk.
I wouldn't expect anyone to take their full fluid requirement for gout from club soda, but even a couple of bottles a day might increase sodium intake beyond a healthy limit. Also, many club sodas have other additives, so it's worth checking the labels. When I did a very quick, unscientific check, I noticed that sparkling water usually has less additives than club soda.
But I still hadn't really answered the question. I could see that too much club soda might be a problem, but does a moderate amount help?
By using Google's very flexible search features I started looking for gout or uric acid associated with club soda or soda water or carbonated water. What a journey that was. Along the way I found a couple of fantastic nutrition data resources. I'll be covering these in more detail when I update you on my gout diet plans.
So back to the question. Does club soda help gout?
Some of the facts I've found are:-
- Carbonated water can help ease constipation. This is relevant to gout as around one third of uric acid is excreted through the gut. A 2002 study, Effects of carbonated water on functional dyspepsia and constipation, reveals that subjects who drank carbonated water for two weeks had 25% less constipation than those who drank tap water.
- Carbonated water can help increase skin blood flow. The report on skin blood flow and carbonated water involved subjects immersing legs in carbonated water for 10 minutes per say over a 3 week period. Those using carbonated water showed a significantly higher skin blood flow and reduced numbness compared to a control group using tap water. I'm not sure if this will help gout or not, but if anyone has the funds to dangle their gouty joints in club soda, I'd love to hear from you.
- Club soda has a slight alkalizing effect. There are hundreds of websites that claim the opposite. None of these have any source references for their claims, and many are sales sites for alkalizing diets or products. I finally found a site with clear scientific references. GoutPAl.com includes a method for calculating the acid-alkaline balance of diet. It also has list of PRAL values of all foods in the USDA database, showing club soda's PRAL value of -0.133. I'll be talking more about PRAL in my diet pages at foodary.com.
So, I'm fairly confident that club soda will have a positive effect for gout patients. Just beware of high blood pressure, and be aware of additives by checking the label.

Customer Ratings & Reviews
Rated 5 out of 5 by 7 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Oliver9 EXCELLENT QUALITY DOG FOOD This is a good quality dog food that maintains our dogs health and the price is decent. June 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lou47 Nutr Max Adult I was having trouble trying to get my little Yorkie to eat and tried all sorts of things: even home made food. I had to hand feed her what ever I could get her to eat. While placing my order for the two Sr. dogs with health issues I decided to order two different adult foods for her to try. She loves both of them and I no longer have to hand feed her. March 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chipmonk Surprisingly a winner My dogs will seldom touch a mushy food but this one turned out to be an exception. All five gobbled it down leaving no left overs behind. October 25, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Manders82 Liquid Diet Compatible My 13 year old lab was diagnosed with megaesophagus and is therefore on a restricted liquid diet. This particular Nutro Max offers him complete nutrition and is easily liquified when mixed with water. My dog loves it and could never be happier. At 3 cans a day, it is much more cost effective to buy it through chewy.com than driving to the pet store every few days because each store only stocks 2 cases (one weeks worth of food for my lab) at a time. March 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by lonepoet3 Loves it My German Shepherd has a delicate stomach; however, the Nutro Max Adult Chicken, Rice & Turkey Dinner Canned Dog Food is very satisfying and doesn't upset her stomach. She loves it mixed with her dry dog food (also thru Chewy.com). The ingredients are excellent. January 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Snowangel Great Food I am so glad I am getting my babies this food. The ingredients in this food are great with off course exception of a few. However, this is great price for a the quality of the food. One of my dogs is very picky and I was surprise when he liked this food. I am very glad that now both my pooches love this food :)! Thank you chewy! Another order and I am not disappointed. Also, the delivery was very quick! :D January 25, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by missyissweet love the availability Akita loves her new food, I'd recommend this website to every single person I encounter.. December 4, 2014

Men's feelings brought out by barbeques

Research was carried out by male cancer charity Orchid ahead of Men's Health Week from Monday.
The charity's annual Big BBQ initiative encourages people to host a fundraising barbecue for male-specific cancers. See the-big-bbq.co.uk

In a little more than a week, voters in two districts of San Miguel County will decide on their representatives on the County Commission.
The commission doesn't get much scrutiny from the public or the media.
Part of the reason is that the county is a relatively smooth-running machine with little drama.
But it's also because county commissions in most places don't get much attention.
In a city, we're closer together, and that results in many contentious issues — zoning, nuisances, public utilities such as water and sewer.
Hey, all you English-only advocates, don't you find it strange that all the politicians, and wannabes, politique in Spanish. It's like these guys don't know how to speak Spanish (or want to allow us to speak the language), except when they want something.
Is this a form of "situation ethics" — kinda like Domenici promising, at every election, that he was going to have enforced the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
As a Mora County citizen, I find the articles in the Optic about the Mora County school superintendent scenario this past six months fascinating.
We are told Dora Romero, former superintendent, was relieved of her superintendent position because of the "slush fund" purchases to which she agreed for leather jackets, steak dinners, et al.
Then, in the May 12 Optic, we read that one of the recipients of those leather jackets, and steak dinners, New Mexico State Rep. Thomas Garcia, is being interviewed for the Mora County superintendent position.
When people from other parts of the country see New Mexico and Arizona on a map, they see two square states and imagine a land of deserts and mountains. They likely see our two states as very similar.
But when it comes to politics, the two states are quite different. Thankfully.
West Las Vegas/Los Niños Head Start would like to thank the following for helping to make our annual Transition Fair held April 30 a success:
The staff at the Abe Montoya Recreation Center, Subway/Shell, Mills Avenue Lowe's, Wal-Mart, New Mexico State Police, Wind River Ranch, West Las Vegas Schools, Las Vegas City Schools, West Las Vegas Head Start staff and Transition Committee and all parents who attended. Additionally, a special thank you to State Rep. Thomas Garcia, who has been supporting this event for the past four years.
I'd like to commend Benny and April Ortiz for yet another successful season as the RHS Girls Track Team coaches.
Besides being successful in the sport realm, they are very active in teaching the girls life lessons that will impact their lives. These coaches dedicate long, hard hours and sacrifice a lot of their personal time to be there for our children. Please print this so that they know they are appreciated and their efforts have not gone unnoticed.

After attending the forum presenting candidates for County Commissioner, I was very impressed by two candidates for District One, either one of which I wish I could vote for. (I don't live in District One; I do not know either candidate personally.)

Last Man Standing Competition
September 10th, 2015
Posted on August 21, 2010
Filed Under Soccer | 8 Comments
After earlier exit in the World Cup 2010, Italy is focusing on rolling its 2010/2011 Serie A Football League Competition. It will be interesting to see how Inter Milan, the 2010 Champions League Winner and 2009/2010 Serie A Champion, retain its crown without Jose Mourinho. And this will be a tough test for his successor, Rafael Benitez, to keep their good performance with the same team since there is no major squad changes in its team.
Almost all analysts said that Inter Milan will continue their success. But they have to be careful with AS Roma, which always become a strong challenger for the past two year, and AC Milan, where it has a new bright coach, Massimiliano Allegri. And do not underestimate Juventus and of course Sampdoria which take the fourth Champions League spot in last season.
My Italian Serie A Fixtures 2010/2011 template has the same template with the previous version. I haven't had time to put any new features or modification. I am just replace the relegation team with the promotion team and replace all 2009/2010 schedules with 2010/2011 schedules.
Have fun guys. You can download the file below.

Matt Freedman's harrowing and hilarious 'Relatively Indolent But Relentless' is totally unlike traditional memoirs. So is Liana Finck's graphic review of it.
The Bintel Brief famously documented the trials of adapting to life in America. The staff at the Tenement Museum has picked up the torch — with a few modern touches.
The Forverts' famous 'Bintel Brief' gets a second life in Liana Finck's graphic adaptation of the advice column. And so does its creator Ab Cahan — as a ghost.
Forward readers ask ice dancer Charlie White how he manages the delicate dance of athletic fame and Jewish identity with nary a slip. Oops, scratch the Jewish part!
Television psychologist Joyce Brothers died on Monday in New York of natural causes, her publicist said. She was 85.
The Forward's Bintel Brief was America's first advice column and 'Dear Abby' took the genre mainstream. That's why Ab Cahan would mourn 'Abby's death.
In 1906, Nasye Frug wrote to the Forverts about her life as a new wife and recent immigrant. Liana Finck reimagines this story in graphical form.

- Aged black leather with grey thread accent
- Easily slips on and stays on!
- Lightweight: weighs 6–8oz depending on size.
- Breathe-O-Prene uppers hold shoe snugly around foot.
- Comes with both suede and genuine sheepskin innersoles—switch them out with the seasons!
- Durable Vibram™ Geo sole provides flexibility, groundfeel and traction.
- Indoor/outdoor casual shoe.
- Unique aged leather uppers for rustic style.
- Handcrafted in USA from premium, formaldehyde-free leathers.
Sorry, but wide and narrow widths are not available for the Rogue at this time.
Our natural, full-grain aged leather is used exclusively for this shoe to give its rustic look. The upper interior is lined with our unique Breathe-O-Prene, a stretchy medical-grade material designed for superior ventilation and breathability. Breathe-O-Prene keeps the shoe fitting snugly around your foot for a secure and cozy fit. The shoe slips on easily and is so comfortable that many of our customers tell us they forget to take them off when they come home at the end of the day!
The Rogue features an 8mm version of our Vibram Geo sole. This lightweight sole is very flexible to allow barefoot-style movement and groundfeel with improved durability and traction. The interior footbed comes with a natural suede removable innersole. We also include an additional pair of interchangeable sheepskin innersoles with your order. Now you can switch between suede or sheepskin to adjust for climate, thicker socks or just for a change of pace!
Our genuine sheepskin is homeostatic and naturally wicks moisture to keep feet warm and dry. Sheepskin's natural wicking action pushes away moisture to keep feet dry in the summer and cozy in the winter. The natural loft of the sheep will form to the shape of your foot and pack down over time, so the fit may feel a bit snug with new sheep innersoles for the first few days. We recommend starting with the suede innersoles and then switch to the sheep after the shoes have broken-in for a comfortable fit.

- Pretty AwesomeReview by Julian
The stitching came a bit loose in the toes of the OTHER model (Portlander), but not in these. I'll gladly send those in for a FREE repair and pay the $5 shipping to get them back- SOO worth it.
Also, I've been wondering why some people wear them out so fast (months) and for other ppl they can last years. I've just come up with the obvious- some people are really hard on their possessions, whereas other really take care of them.
Also, we can't forget that people's bodies and feet are very different and the way they walk is just really hard on shoes. So, no flaws with Soft Stars that I can tell. I think some ppl just have the right combination of body/foot type and taking care of their belongings, and others just don't. (Posted on 1/8/16)

I ordered myself a pair after seeing how happy he was with his. I want to wear these every day. They are like slippers. I'm also a teacher, and I also find these comfortable to wear all day. Poking out from under a pair of pants or nice jeans, the Rogues are sleek and casual-but-not-too-casual. I've had mine for a year and the soles are starting to wear thin, so I'm getting ready for my second pair. (Posted on 12/3/14)

Sizing Tips
Unsure about your size? Our printable guide will help you find the best fit for your feet! Just click the button below to print the guide and follow the instructions on the page (if you don't have access to a printer then scroll down for another option).
Note: before you print the guide, make sure your printer settings will not shrink or scale the page. Uncheck any boxes labeled "Fit to Printable Area" and/or set scaling options to "None."
Want more details? Check out this video for visual step-by-step instructions:
No Printer? No Problem!
You can still measure feet using the method below (also shown in our sizing videos). You can then scroll down and see where your measurements fall on our sizing charts to find the recommended shoe size. All you need is a book, a tape measure and a wall.
Note: we no longer recommend tracing your feet because it usually gives a larger measurement than the method described below. Our sizing charts work in accordance with the following method.
To measure your feet:
- 1. Remove shoes and socks and place the bare foot so that the heel is barely touching a wall.
- 2. Place a book in on the floor, parallel to the wall, so that it is barely touching the front of the longest toe.
- 3. Step away carefully and measure the distance from the book to the wall.
- 4. Scroll down and look for this measurement on the sizing charts below to find the recommended shoe size.
Once you find your length measurement, you can use table below to best find your corresponding size.
Wide/Narrow: Trouble deciding your width? Our best recommendation is to order a wide or narrow only if you have found you need those custom widths in other brands for your feet to be comfortable. If you have never found you needed wide or narrow shoes before then we suggest sticking with our regular width.
Style notes:
If you find yourself between two shoe sizes, we recommend ordering the larger size. This is especially true of our adult Phoenix Boots, Portlanders and Rogue casual shoes, which run a bit small.
Care Tips for Full Grain Leather Shoes
Soft Star Shoes are made from eco-friendly leathers tanned in the USA. Leather is a natural product and some variation in texture and hide markings is to be expected. Because we use leather colored with non-toxic food grade dyes, there will likely be some initial color transfer to your socks or skin if your shoes become damp. This will decrease with use, but we don't recommend wearing your new Soft Stars with your favorite white socks the first time you take them for a spin.
If your shoes are a little snug at first in the toe box area, you can gently stretch them by stuffing the toe box with a dry cloth. Push the cloth tightly into the front of the shoe and let sit stuffed overnight to stretch. Do not use a damp cloth as the water can stain the leather or innersole* of some leather types, rendering it non-returnable.
Most full grain leather we use is naturally water resistant, but our special vegetable-tanned leather (available only by custom selection on some of our design-your-own shoes) is a "naked" leather and will stain from water alone. You can clean shoes as needed with water dampened cloth* and let air dry, but please note if you do this on vegetable-tanned leather then you will need to wet/stain the entire shoe to avoid water marks. Condition the leather as often as desired with any quality leather dressing, but be careful to keep it away from the edges of your rubber soles. Do not use mink oil on your shoes, as it can degrade the adhesion on bonded soles and cause the sole to separate from your shoe over time. We highly recommend Bee Natural Amore for general conditioning or Rain & Snow on leather for enhanced water resistance. The color on shiny metallic shoes will eventually patina with use into an antique wear look, which can be accelerated with repeated use to water and high wear (e.g. scuffing toes).
For all of our leathers (except vegetable-tanned) you can clean by hand with a damp cloth, or if needed you can hand wash your leather shoes using a gentle shampoo and cool water*. We do not recommend frequent washing of any leather product as it strips the leather of it's natural oils and tends to dry stiffer.
We are often asked if our shoes can be washed in a washing machine. While not recommended as a normal course of action, when in dire straits the Elves have been known to toss a pair of shoes in the machine and generally have had good results. Just don't mix them with any other item because of color bleeding, and do NOT put shoes the dryer. Shoes with sheepskin can take 3-4 days to air dry if fully submerged in water, but you can speed up the drying by stuffing with old newspapers and replacing the paper twice a day.

Drew Stubbs (LF,CF)
Free Agent
Wed, Aug 12th 5:08pm EDT
By Steven Sullivan
According to Yahoo Sports, the Colorado Rockies have designated OF Drew Stubbs for assignment. (Source: Yahoo)
Fantasy Impact: Stubbs had a productive 2014 batting .289/.339/.482 with 16 home runs and 20 stolen bases. However, he has been on the decline in 2015 with a .216/.286/.431 slash line. At 30-years-old the outfielder may draw interest on waivers through his speed and defense.

Drew Stubbs is hitting .118 with 2 HRs and 5 RBI in 2015. He is running on fumes, and needs to figure something out soon.
Fantasy Impact: Stubbs is close to seeing his last bit of MLB experience if he doesn't start producing. With Cole Hamels on the mound, and Stubbs' back against the wall expect his numbers to turn around immediately.

The Colorado Rockies demoted struggling outfielder Drew Stubbs on Wednesday, calling up outfielder Brandon Barnes as his replacement. Stubbs was batting just .118 on the season with 30 Ks in 51 ABs. (Source: Nic Groke of the Denver Post )
Fantasy Impact: The 30-year old Stubbs was an extremely productive player for the Rockies just last season batting .289/.339/.482 with 15 HR and 20 SB. He had certainly made his mark in fantasy circles as well. The strikeouts have always been an issue with Stubbs, and he has particularly struggled in that department this year. With Corey Dickerson already on the shelf, who is going to play outfield for the already dismal Rockies?

By Nathan Burns
Both of Drew Stubbs' hits are home runs. His eighth inning pinch home run was too little too late as the Rockies lost 13-7. He is an ugly 2-for-28 on the season.
Fantasy Impact: It's a tough job to hit after sitting on the bench all game. He needs to be better than .071 whether he's starting or not. Avoid at all costs until he starts putting up less zeroes.

Drew Stubbs has been hitting well so far this spring and it continued on Wednesday against the San Diego Padres. Stubbs went 2-3 with a home run, 2 RBI, and 2 R. His home run came off of standout Padres starter Tyson Ross.
Fantasy Impact: Stubbs is now hitting .333 in the spring with a pair of homers and four RBI. Stubbs does not offer very much upside in the fantasy world but he can offer some mid-range power and a healthy amount of stolen bases. He could be a sneaky sleeper pick in the last couple of rounds this season now that he gets another year of playing at Coors Field.

Drew Stubbs played center field and went deep in Thursday's loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. For the game he went 1-2.
Fantasy Impact: Stubbs was a pleasant surprise last season when the Rockies acquired him. He is expected to stay as the starting center fielder and is batting .364 so far in spring. From a fantasy perspective he is a waiver-wire guy but he can provide some value whenever he gets on one of his hot streaks.

Colorado & Drew Stubbs agreed to a one year, $5.825 million contract. (Source: FOX Sports)
Fantasy Impact: Stubbs is currently fourth on the Colorado depth chart, but an injury to Carlos Gonzalez or any of the other outfielders will thrust Stubbs into mixed league relevance. He went .289/.339/.482 last season while being one of only eight outfielders to go 15 & 15 on home runs & stolen bases.

On his way to a historic meeting of Asian and African leaders in Indonesia, President Xi Jinping stopped off in Pakistan.
His mission: to launch a $46 billion investment plan, the centerpiece of his project to forge a market of three billion people encompassing China, Central Asia and South Asia—almost half of mankind, the poorer half.
Mr. Xi's ambitions to lead an economic resurgence of the developing world guaranteed him top billing at the 60th anniversary of the 1955 Bandung Conference. Back then, another Chinese leader, Premier Zhou Enlai, had dazzled his Asian-African audience with a similarly transformative vision for the postcolonial countries of the world. Read More »

Histoire sociale/Social history
Volume 41, Number 81, Mai-May 2008
pp. 273-275 | 10.1353/his.0.0003
Following a century characterized by two world wars, a protracted Cold War, and decolonization, as well as the collapse of the Soviet Union, it is perhaps appropriate that historians and other scholars should now be turning their attention to the question of memory. The legacy of the destructive twentieth century looms large in the minds of many people as they search for ways to confront a past dominated by oppression and colonization in a manner that recognizes the reality of these experiences, but also allows them to move forward. How much of that past should be forgotten? How much of it should be remembered in the search for justice and reconciliation? How do populations that have suffered at the hands of oppressive regimes re-establish trust in their former tormentors? These are just some of the questions at the heart of this new collection of essays brought together by Michèle Baussant. The result is a particularly rich global overview of the various ways in which people are coming to terms with the legacy of the last century.
It is useful to remember that, for many people, especially those who cannot point to a single moment or event, symbolic or otherwise, when the injustices associated with the past can be said to have made way for a more just present, the past remains firmly embedded in their everyday lives. For some, like the indigenous people in the Mexican state of Chiapas who continue to suffer from discrimination and poverty, the present appears little removed from the oppressive past. Frustration in Chiapas reached a boiling point at the beginning of 1994 when many indigenes rebelled against the Mexican government. Interpreting this rebellion as an act of public disorder, Mexican officials responded with force. This confrontation, Martin Hébert demonstrates, pitted Mexican officials who sought to dissociate the present, and themselves, from the past against a segment of the population that continued to live with the problems, such as discrimination and poverty, which were the legacies of that past. The Mexican government sought to diffuse the situation by offering to pardon the rebels if they abandoned their revolt. But the rebels responded angrily, suggesting that they were not the ones who should be pardoned for standing up for their rights within a system that they claimed perpetuated the discrimination and injustice of the past. This was a confrontation, Hé bert shows, between a state striving to forget the past and a population not quite willing to see the state as divorced from the oppressive past.
The sense that the state remains culpable for past crimes even after oppressive regimes have been replaced very often arises because of the feeling that state officials have not adequately confronted that past or established sufficient distance from it by instituting policies that would end persistent discrimination. Resentment persists even when there is a recognizable moment that cordons off the past. If officials move forward without fully dealing with the past, they can make the victims of past regimes feel forgotten. By failing to recognize the larger society's role in past atrocities, and in seeking to establish too much distance from the past, the state risks appearing as part of a cover-up and being associated with these atrocities. This is the case in Romania, according to Cristian Preda, following the overthrow of Nicolae Ceausescu in 1989. With the death of a dictator comes the temptation to turn a horrific past into an anomaly and to blame any atrocities on a particular individual. Isolating the past and failing to recognize the state's culpability, however, as Mexican officials attempted to do in 1994, can produce feelings among victims of being victimized all over again.
Of course, figuring out the appropriate means of dealing with past injustices requires some agreement over just who constitutes the victim. But what if the victim remains poorly defined and unacknowledged? Such was the case until the 1980s for the Gypsies who had been struggling to secure recognition as victims of the Nazi Holocaust on the grounds that they were members of a defined group, and not because they were deemed socially undesirable as individuals. In an interesting article, Véronique Klauber...

Hello, my name is Brittany and I've been a big fan of horses for quite a long time. I started out with an untrained Arabian gelding that I had to sell in order for my family to keep the house and the second horse I've ever had, an Appaloosa, had to be sold for the same reasons. Looking back on how quickly I had to get rid of the horses made me feel like a bad person, but the people to really blame were my parents for buying them for me when they knew that we couldn't afford them. They promised that we wouldn't have to get rid of them and I should've known it'd be another lie.
I'm almost a 16 year old, though. I don't think I should mess with the bigger horses so I have my eye on my favorite little horses in the entire world. Yup, I love Miniature Horses. They make the perfect companion and they don't require as much land. Before I get one I'm going to make sure that I'm financially stable and that I have the experience level to care for him/her. The one I'm looking at seems to be good and he's around my area. He's a great price, too. I just hope that I'll be his next owner if he's fit for me.

QuoteSea, the life in a few words
DEBT, n. An ingenious substitute for the chain and whip of the slave- driver.
As, pent in an aquarium, the troutlet Swims round and round his tank to find an outlet, Pressing his nose against the glass that holds him, Nor ever sees the prison that enfolds him; So the poor debtor, seeing naught around him, Yet feels the narrow limits that impound him, Grieves at his debt and studies to evade it, And finds at last he might as well have paid it. --Barlow S. Vode
~ Ambrose Bierce (July 24, 1842 - January 11, 1914)
Waves: Debt
Many exhibits from this aquarium use Hawaii's abundant natural daylight. This allows Waikiki to display only live coral, which creates beautiful exhibits. It's also a world leader in the propagation of live coral. The aquarium features some unusual and rarely seen species, including the chambered nautilus and the endangered Hawaiian monk seal.

Welcome to "Flyladies (Flybabies) Unite". This is a group about organizing our household and our lives, so that we don't live in the middle of a mess, or waste time cleaning the same piles over and over again. That is time to be spent with your family! Flylady has great tips for getting started and keeping us all on task. Please post an introduction on our "Getting to Know You" thread, and visit the Flylady website for info on the routines. Or read below for a quick overview with links at the beginning of each section. Then post here in the group with your questions, comments, encouragement and accomplishments!
Flylady can be overwhelming at first so i was thinking we could share the things that work for us, and encourage each other to keep at it. I believe in the system, once you get the hang of it. I am really curious to hear what little things you do to stay organized.
A Tip for Beginners: The Flylady website can be a lot to take in and decipher, so I always suggest starting with the Site Index and browsing around. Before you get up and do any of her recommedations, just spend some time looking thru the different links and getting a feel for the system. Then pick one or a few things that work for you and start with that.
I did start out by shining my sink. I have a sticky note reminder there that simply says "Shine Your Sink". I may not always Windex it or dry it out every time i leave the sink, but i keep the dishes out of it and all the soaps and sponges put away. When i first implemented the idea, i immediately taught my older kids to clean their dishes and put them straight into the dishwasher. Of course DH also got the hang of it. I have to remind them sometimes, but they have really caught on and that small thing makes a huge difference. What is funny, is even when we have friends or guests over, they ask about the sticky note and as soon as I explain, they start keeping better track of their own dishes as well. (while they are at my house anyway.)
Getting Dressed to the Shoes:
I've had to adapt this routine to fit my own. My day starts about 7am. I get up, check to see that the kids are up and getting ready for school, and while the baby is in bed for a bit longer, i hop into the shower. Afterwards, I toss a load of laundry into the washer, and then go get dressed, do my hair, and put on my make up. Before we leave to school, i put the clothes into the dryer. So by 8am, i up, dressed, and the laundry is rolling!
I was put off by the amount of email you receive from flylady. I think it's a bit much when one's life is already in a frazzle. So i canceled the email reminders until I was ready to pay attention to them. It began to play a head trip like "i can't even get to these emails, how can i do all the tips she suggests?" One thing i really like is Kelly's Missions because it's a one thing a day kinda deal and i always feel good even if it's the only useful thing i do all day. I can easily do these things during the baby's nap. So i use the flylady toolbar instead, and can click a button to get the daily mission each morning.. It helps. Simple simple.
Beginner Baby Steps:
I didn't do these in order. I actually sat and read them all one day just to see what they were. I did start doing a few of the things, but not all, and I've not yet gone back to try doing them in order. A few things i started doing besides getting dressed to the shoes and shining my sink was a found an old binder for the Control Journal, and without anything fancy, i just started throwing bills and mail into it. just to get it off of my desk. Every day i would throw junk in there until it wasn't even flat anymore. then when i had a quiet moment one day, i sorted it into - red folder: bills due, a green folder: bills paid, a yellow folder: things to file. i threw all the other junk and empty envelopes into the trash. it still was nothing super organized, but at least i didn't have piles everywhere. now every time i go into it to find something i need, i organize it a bit more and gradually it's taking shape. at least now i can always find my dadgum stamps.
I LOVE THIS. Why do we accumulate so much stuff?? After getting all the Christmas stuff put away last January, i just kept on moving. From there it's been going and going, everyday just finding one or two things to throw into a "give away" box. and now when i walk around in my house with pictures hung and junk piles shrinking, i just feel good. i feel happier.
A side note:
I would like to keep the group on topic with "fun" stuff like cleaning and daily missions, and stay away from threads that steer too far from our focus. In particular, i will delete threads advertising off topic events, requests, and groups.
I don't mean to offend anyone or hurt anyone's feelings, just want to keep us "de-cluttered" and on course with our "flight plan". :)
Thanks for your help with this.

Kylie Minogue has a bizarre phobia - the pop superstar is terrified of clothes hangers.
The style icon admits she is terrified of the sight and sound of hangers, and has even designed a special type of closet to display her designer outfits.
She tells Britain's Elle magazine, "The problem is I hate putting things on hangers. I have a hanger phobia - I don't like the way they sound when you put them in the wardrobe.
"It's (wardrobe) a room in my home where everything is laid out. It never looks like other people's wardrobes. I've got far too many shoes, but they're so pretty I don't like to hide them away."
