The two analysts a week ago reported they had found another strategy for conveying vindictive code to machines, which they named "ImageGate."
Risk performers had figured out how to implant malevolent code into a picture, they said.
"In the previous week, the whole security industry is firmly taking after the enormous spread of the Locky ransomware by means of web-based social networking, especially in its Facebook-based crusade" the specialists wrote in an online post. "Check Point scientists emphatically trust the new ImageGate system uncovers how this battle was made conceivable, a question which has been unanswered as of recently."
Awful Chrome Extension
Facebook has questioned Check Point's discoveries.
"This investigation is wrong," Facebook said in an announcement gave to TechNewsWorld by representative Jay Nancarrow.
"There is no association with Locky or whatever other ransomware, and this is not showing up on Messenger or Facebook," the organization kept up.
"We explored these reports and found there were a few terrible Chrome expansions, which we have been obstructing for almost a week," Facebook noted. "We additionally reported the terrible program augmentations to the proper gatherings."
Most online networking destinations, including Facebook, have insurances set up to square spam and hazardous document sorts, said Marc Laliberte, a data security risk expert with WatchGuard Technologies.
"This latest assault circumvent Facebook's securities by utilizing a particular kind of picture document that backings intelligence by means of installed scripts, as JavaScript," he told TechNewsWorld. "Facebook has since included the picture document sort - SVG - utilized as a part of this assault to their channel."
Shroud of Legitimacy
What makes this assault so wicked is that it's shrouded in authenticity.
"The JavaScript implanted in the picture is not pernicious," clarified Alexander Vukcevic, infection labs executive at Avira. "It drives you to a site that looks like YouTube."
At the site, you're let you know need to download a program expansion to watch video at the website.
"The program expansion then downloads the ransomware," Vukcevic told TechNewsWorld.
Ransomware like Locky has turned into a major danger to shoppers, watched Javvad Malik, a security advocate for Alien Vault.
"Most are not in fact clever to spot or protect against ransomware," he told TechNewsWorld. "While a great deal of exertion is put into teaching customers around the risks of tapping on connections in messages or opening connections, there is a characteristic level of trust that individuals put in web-based social networking stages, which is being mishandled by this present danger."
Shopper Protection
While Ransomware is dependably a genuine risk to customers, this new bend on its appropriation increases current standards considerably higher, WatchGuard's Laliberte noted.
"Purchasers essentially don't anticipate that malware will be conveyed through a Facebook message," he said. "A great many people most likely consider online networking locales to be a protected space, so the absence of concern and cautiousness makes it effective as a potential contamination channel for malware."
For buyers worried around an ImagteGate assault, Check Point prescribed not opening any records downloaded to a gadget in the wake of clicking any picture. The same is valid for picture records with surprising augmentations, for example, SVG, JS or HTA.
Clients likewise ought to keep their working framework and antivirus programming up and coming, Avira's Vukcevic included, "and make reinforcements. Regardless of the possibility that you're never contaminated with ransomware, you never know when something may turn out badly with your machine."

Best Of :: People & Places
If money is no object, get yourself hitched amongst the twinkly orange lights adorning the trees at Royal Palms, just beneath Camelback Mountain. This resort (completely rehabbed in the '90s; we miss the heart-shaped pool but otherwise love the redo) is the perfect blend of Mediterranean charm with a nod to the desert. The lawn is the perfect place to hoist your huppa (or canopy, all religions welcome), and the ballroom is small but so charming. We recommend the roasted chicken, and be sure to reserve the honeymoon suite once included in the cost of the wedding, we hear that now you've got to fork over several hundred for the privilege, but trust us, it's worth it for the claw-footed bathtub alone.
The Tricks' garden has Eden beat, no contest. Built around two old houses in downtown Tempe well off the beaten beer-spilled path of Mill Avenue the trellised, bricked, vine-covered spot is the perfect place to sit at the bar or relax at a table, with a good glass of wine. And one more thing we can guarantee: No one in Eden knew how to cook the way the Tricks do with menu temptations like marinated quail with a coffee honey vinaigrette or pistachio-crusted rack of lamb. Paradise.
According to the Bible, our ancient ancestors Adam and Eve grew ashamed at their nudity in the Garden of Eden after sampling forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge, and thusly, mankind was forever cursed with a sense of body modesty. Well, you can finally feel good about dropping trou outside the confines of your residence (without getting thrown in the cooler) inside the confines of El Dorado Hot Springs. This picturesque mineral-water spa located 45 miles west of the Valley is a clothing-optional compound with a bounty of bathing pools and tubs filled with natural H2O pumped straight from a subterranean spring. Five private areas located inside fenced areas and historic buildings including a small post office where old-school civil servants soaked their letter-carrying carcasses back in the day allow you to take a dip away from the prying eyes of the public for only $10 an hour per person. If you're feeling a bit more exhibitionistic, there's also a semi-private pool for $7.50 an hour per person. Cell phones and cameras are forbidden, however, so you needn't worry about any saucy pics of your skinny-dipping adventures getting posted on the Internet.
The appletini is the quintessential frou-frou cocktail. Flirty. Tasteful. Fun. Grilled Expedition at Desert Ridge Marketplace offers an appletini that's shaken, not stirred, and garnished with a Granny Smith apple slice. Its house special martini isn't exactly a trade secret just vodka with a splash of sour apple liquor but the restaurant's bartenders manage to get just the perfect combination of sweet and tart. This is an apple that will definitely sink its teeth into you.
Phoenix summers are hell. By August, the only flowers left alive in this town are on night-blooming cactuses. Wright House proprietors Peggy and Michael Wright must have made a pact with Satan's gardener, because somehow their lush landscaping manages to stay green and flowering nearly all year. The property houses three buildings a historic cottage house, an English ballroom and a recently added French villa that can be rented for weddings, special occasions and private parties. Wrought-iron fences and delicate gazebos are covered with ivy and fragrant jasmine. Stone walkways snake through country gardens planted with roses and perennials bursting in vibrant shades of fuchsia, pink and saffron. The best part? There's not one goddamned cactus on the lot.
For those of you who specialize in committing the most profane acts of immorality, now you can royally piss off God in a variety of ways at Apollo's Greek God Revue. As if the infamously sassy GLBT clientele that frequents Apollo's wasn't enough to get on the Lord's bad side, now guests can further annoy the Most High with the overt idolatry of Dionysian-loving tranny sing-alongs, the likes of which some fundamentalists might say could invoke the wrath of God with more urgency than the folks in those little towns called Sodom and Gomorrah. To add injury, the party happens every Sunday night, a day typically reserved by the rightest of the right for spiritual fasting and meditation. Perhaps the guys at Apollo's view their wacky Sunday night Greek drag extravaganzas as worshipful in their own way. Since the Lord hasn't struck them down yet, be sure not to miss a week; that would really light up this already fabulous party!

My husband and I had a wonderful dinner this past Friday night and our fantastic experience started hours before we got there when I communicated via email with a very professional woman named Bianca to secure our reservation. She was just the first of all the very courteous and welcoming individuals at Ola. We sat outside, and it was a perfect evening to enjoy dinner under the stars on their great patio. Based on prior Trip Advisor recommendations, we started with the lobster empanadas, and now we know why so many other diners have raved about them! The squid ink dough was so flavorful and perfectly cooked and the lobster inside was deliciously flavored and plentiful. My husband had the pork chop Milanesa and I had the vegetarian delight Pionono - both we're excellent and beautifully presented. The cocktails also are amazing and we finished off with the chocolate cigar, which was just the right size and amount of sweet decadence. While Ola is a pricier restaurant, Miami is a major city and the pricing is what one would expect from a high quality and creative restaurant such as this. We definitely will go back when in Miami again!

Being overweight does not necessarily craft a being varicose. It right makes the somebody a bit outmoded. Studies have shown that society who are a bit fat unrecorded longer than those who have average weight.
There is no fast or long treatment for expeditious weight loss.
Nutritionists and different upbeat experts will say that a person's weight near puritanical exercise can if truth be told assist be unable to find a consistent figure of pounds per period of time The record-breaking way to do this is near a low calorie diet and an have design.
When it comes to the idea of self improvement, I fully infer (through my own experiences) that it is a lot easier aforesaid than through with. However, you are here, word-perfect now, because you have a require to advance your same or you are at smallest curious in this problem. Perhaps you are language this to comfort a buddy or workfellow - terrible. If this nonfiction helps you or you abet a friend, gainful it transfer is what lif'e all active so we all win.

The system of rules as a rule consists of an consumption representation and an workout system of rules that does not take the use of supplements or one to acquisition any high-priced suitability apparatus.
The unexceeded exercising formulate should have vas and weight grounding exercises. This helps pain calories and accumulate the muscle to fat magnitude relation that will extension ones metamorphosis and miss weight.
A superb fare should have feed from all the silage groups.
This is made up by 2 holding. The primary is carbohydrates. The feed that a being consumes should have vitamins, minerals and fibre. A lot of this can move from oats, rice, potatoes and cereals. The top stationary move from vegetables and fruits since these have phytochemicals, enzymes and micronutrients that are required for a fine diet.
The 2d is fat which can come in from monaural and poly wet through sustenance sources a bit than physical fats. Since fat contains more than treble the figure of calories in food, this should be understood in trivial quantities to suffer weight.
All fare strategy are planned to make the causal agent pay off shriveled magnitude of calories into the article. This does not be going to that the individual has to eat smaller quantity. It fair mode that one has to eat cagey by choosing the foods that have smaller quantity calories. This makes it whatsoever for someone to lose weight without the stipulation to eat smaller number.
During the instruction of the program, the causal agent should nonmoving enquire next to the dr. and separate form experts to monitoring device ones advancement. There will be times that it is key to make to order the fare thought to more lose weight.
It is up to the mortal simply to remain to the programme to see that it industrial plant.

In a seemingly inexplicable move, the writing staff for AMC's "The Walking Dead" has been let go despite the show's killer ratings. I guess just like with the comic upon which it is based, you can truly expect the unexpected when it comes to "The Walking Dead".
According to Deadline Hollywood executive producer/director Frank Darabont has released all the writers from the hot freshman AMC series, which has already been renewed for a second season. That includes Darabont's number two, writing executive producer Charles "Chic" Eglee.
Furthermore, Deadline also reports that Darabont is looking to forgo having a writing staff for the second season of "The Walking Dead" altogether, preferring instead to assign scripts to freelancers, which could result in some issues with the Writers Guild.
Well, one thing is for certain – Darabont and company have a lot of time to sort things out as AMC is looking to launch Season 2 almost a year from now, next October.
We wouldn't be too alarmed by this shift. It's pretty common for shows to switch writers from season to season, but the whole staff? That's a bit unusual. Oh, Frank. You move in mysterious ways, but lord knows we trust in you!

walang kamatayang pork barrel
so, we've been had, we who rejoiced when the supreme court declared the PDAF unconstitutional last november and thought we had heard, seen, the last of it.
Pork Barrel is very much alive and kicking! warns prof. ben diokno. and, like Dracula, the pork barrel is alive, in another guise, bewails neal cruz.
as it turns out, only 15 of the 24 senators gave up their pork barrel. 9 senators — the cayetano sibs, the estrada-ejercito sibs, lapid, trillanes, recto, and miriam — did not, and instead "realigned" their PDAFs with the budget of one or another line agency, or the calamity fund, in the bicam- and senate-approved 2014 budget that the prez signed into law last december.
senator chiz escudero, chairman of the senate finance committee, and very much the pilosopo lawyer, justifies it thus:
Is the realignment legal or constitutional in the light of the high court's decision on the PDAF?
Yes, says Sen. Francis Escudero, chair of the Senate finance committee. The realignments (Escudero calls them "amendments") came before the implementation of the P2.265-trillion national budget, he says.
The high court had declared unconstitutional all provisions of the law that allowed legislators "to wield any form of post-enactment authority in the implementation of the budget."
But Escudero says the identification of beneficiaries of the realigned PDAF "does not violate" the high court's ruling. "It's well within our right to review and approve the budget," he says. "This is preenactment intervention."
say rin ni bayan muna partylist rep neri colmenares:
"The Supreme Court was not clear on whether lawmakers could realign the funds or not because it is clear that Congress has the power of the purse and has the prerogative where government money should be spent," says Bayan Muna Rep. Neri Colmenares. "What it was clear on was that lump-sum items should be discontinued and that everything in the budget should be itemized."
Members of the House had realigned a much bigger amount—P930 billion, including the PDAF.
at parang tuwang-tuwa lang si senator chiz, as in, tipong naisahan nila ang presidente?
"In accordance with the powers of Congress, all of us can introduce an amendment. That's our legislative power. If the President submits the budget, we can't skirt our duty to amend it. What are we, a rubber stamp?" Escudero said by phone, chuckling.
more like, naisahan ang anti-pork people's movement, as in, nakahanap sila ng legal loophole (salamat sa supremes?) and it's as if the people's outcry against all pork-n-patronage fell on deaf ears. it's as if two of the nine senators, estrada and revilla, were not facing charges of receiving substantial kickbacks from fake NGOs identified with the notorious accused napoles. and it's as if the other seven senators were themselves untouched by any suspicion of similar kickbacks in the past.
of course, it might be that these realignments no longer allow kickbacks of any sort in any way. if so, i wish they'd come right out and say it, assure us na, wala na pong kickback. but of course they won't because it would be to admit na oo nga, dati ay may kickback.
but, hey, jinggoy estrada, who aligned half his PDAF to the budget of the City of Manila of which his tatay, ex-prez erap, is mayor, is the most unrepentant, defiant, shameless, and brazen of them all. hiyang hiya naman ako for the senate, who allowed him to gift his tatay's city hall with a hundred million bucks. hiyang hiya rin ako for erap, who had no idea daw that it was coming, and who doesn't have the sense to say no-thanks, kahit out of delicadeza man lang.
pahabol. say ng grapevine, the supreme court is poised to rule vs erap in the disqualification case filed by ex-mayor fred lim. if true, it would serve jinggoy right.

Allocations to Local Government Units
This includes lump sum of Php405M as LOCAL GOVERNMENT SUPPORT FUND:
1. President's Pork: Php205M
2. Jinggoy's Pork: Php200M
a. Manila: 100M
b. Caloocan City: 50M
c. Lla-lo, Cagayan: 50M
January 11, 2014 at 8:42 am
This LOCAL GOVERNMENT SUPPORT FUND (LGSF) will be subjected to Conditional Implementation Veto of the President:
The earmarking of specific appropriations for selected local government units (LGUs) under the ALGU-Local Government Support Fund, Special Provision No. 1, "Local Government Support Fund," page 850, may not be consistent with the objectives and prioritization of the Local Government Support Fund. Accordingly, I hereby direct the DBM to issue the guidelines in the equal availment of the Fund by LGUs. Indeed, National Government support ought to be responsive to the actual requirements of LGUs in the interest of genuine local development.
How will there be "EQUAL AVAILMENT" if almost half of the LGSF (Php200M) is already earmarked for specific LGUs: Manila, Caloocan, and Lla-lo (Cagayan)???
Toby Tiangco says it may not be impounded by Malacañang because it is now a law.
Hmmm…still, the President has conditionally vetoed Jinggoy's pork…albeit, EQUAL AVAILMENT of it as part of the LGSF remains a problem!
January 11, 2014 at 8:46 am
A cynical point of view will note that if Jinggoy's pork will be impounded by the DBM then PNoy's pork will be doubled.
January 11, 2014 at 8:51 am
Or will just be left unusable based on the "equal availment" the LGSF is intended for.
January 11, 2014 at 4:32 pm
With the de facto VETO of Pinoy on Jingoy's re-alignment of pork barrel to pre-selected LGUs, who says Pinoy is abnoy?????
January 13, 2014 at 11:37 pm
Talagang hindi mamamatay ang pork barrel because every congressional district expects its representative to bring home a slice of bacon. That is why the Constitution says "All appropriation, revenue or tariff bills, bills authorizing increase of the public debt …shall originate exclusively in the House of Representatives, but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments." Ang mga congressman ay ang direct representative ng bawat distrito to the national government, they are supposed to make sure that the needs/concerns of their district are addressed in the budget. In other words, our budget, as envisioned by the constitution, is meant to be created from the bottom up and not the other way around. Ngayon ibang usapan na pag senators and party-list reps who do not represent districts are given slices of bacon kasi nagiging redundant, capricious, and unequal ang pag deliver ng bacon. Kalokohan na yan. But congressional districts have a right to a slice, they pay taxes and a part of those taxes must find their way back to the district.

Seal pup rescued off Alderney
A GREY seal pup which is only a few days old will continue to receive round-the-clock care after being rescued in Alderney on Monday.
'Poppy' survived the first night in intensive care at the GSPCA and was examined by a vet yesterday.
Alderney Animal Welfare Society called the GSPCA on Monday after the white-coated seal pup had been spotted with no mother in sight.
Speaking yesterday, GSPCA manager Steve Byrne said the pup was 'showing good signs but it is very, very early days'.
'This is the first grey seal pup of this breeding season and is very early, in fact the earliest and youngest we have had.
'In the last five years we have rescued, rehabilitated and released five grey seal pups locally.'
He said it was doing all it can to help the very poorly animal.

HOUMA � Former parish manager Barry Blackwell is the new head of Terrebonne�s water system.
Blackwell was selected Monday to be the general manager for the Terrebonne Waterworks District No. 1, the fourth person in the agency�s history to serve in the position.
The parish�s Waterworks District board narrowed its search two months ago as it worked to replace manager Stephen Hornsby, who is retiring in July after nearly 10 years.
Blackwell will train with Hornsby with his first day on the job March 1. But, he said, he�ll likely go into the office before then to get familiar with the agency�s operations.
Of five initial candidates, Blackwell was one of two finalists; the other was former colleague Al Levron, parish capital-projects administrator.
The two met with the waterworks board Monday during a special meeting. The board voted 7-1 to hire Blackwell with a $72,000 annual salary. The sole vote against was Greg Hood Jr., who said in an interview later that he felt the decision was made in haste without an attempt to negotiate a salary.
�I thought they were fast-tracking it a little too much,� Hood said. �It seemed like it was based on salary.�
Blackwell requested a $72,000 salary, while Levron asked for $96,000. But both men had expressed an ability to negotiate the payment.
Other candidates included Tom Wilson, engineering manager at the waterworks district; James Mooring, a waterworks operator and pastor at Valentine Baptist Church; and Karl Hardberger, an engineering technician with Waterworks District No. 1.
In the past 20 years or so, the board has never gone through a lengthy vetting process like this, opting instead to interview a leader from within the ranks, said Al Badeaux, waterworks board vice chairman.
Since the consolidated waterworks district formed in the mid-1950s, four general managers have served, the first hired in the early 60s as the only other non-district employee.
During the interview process, Blackwell cast his outsider perspective as an opportunity for new ideas to be brought into the waterworks district.
Among the challenges, the district faces an aging pipe system and a contract for fresh water from Lafourche Parish set to expire in a couple of years.
Aside from his stint from 2004 to 2008 as manager for Terrebonne Parish government, Blackwell has management experience with Universal Ogden, an offshore support firm, and as president and chief executive officer for Sodexho Remote Site Services, part of food and facilities giant Sodexho.
Blackwell said money is not a driving factor in his pursuit of the waterworks manager job. At 56 years old, he said he sees himself with the waterworks district roughly 12 years, until retirement.
Addressing possible conflicts, Blackwell said he�s not interested in real-estate endeavors any longer. He has said Northpark, the property he partially owns in Gray, is for sale, and he doesn�t plan on developing it beyond an apartment complex already in the works.

Born from a werewolf mother and a vampire father, Skylar and Alec are targeted especially by Alpha Daniel Jackson who kidnapped Skylar and did many things to her. She escaped and as of now is with Alec in a regular school with regular friends and regular lives-kind of. Skylar has always hated the idea of a mate-especially because of what Daniel did to her and taught her about mates. She's never dreamed of having a mate other than Daniel (unless he isn't her mate).
No sign of her parents, Daniel catching up to them, Skylar and Alec finding their mates, their lives are sure to turn out for the worst...

Reviews for Pork Noodle Casserole with Corn
Average Rating
"Seriously if I could this would be more stars. This was delish. I did add alot of mushrooms because I love them. Cooked them with the pork and onions. Threw it all in a slow cooker along with the corn and soup. And added 3/4 of the can of waterCooked it on highest low setting let it cook for about 4 hours. This made the meat real tender. Before serving I added the egg noodles. Thanks for sharing"
"I would like to know how to make the pork come out less tough."
"It was an OK meal. pork a little chewy, a little blah; but not awful :)"
"My family enjoyed this recipe. It was simple, yet very good and very filling!"
"It was a hit with my company"
"It was a hit with my company"
"My husband and I like this alternative to putting pork chops on the stove. Very filling. I was worried that there weren't enough noodles, but it was a perfect amount."
"I have made this several times and my family loves it. I do add a couple cloves of garlic."
"I definitely agree with the 'less salt' comment. I used just a dash and it still seemed a little salty. This is a good recipe for busy nights, but not really a meal to look forward to."
"It is a favorite with us and easy to make. I love it !"
"I did not make it yet, but it is an inspiration as I have pork in the freezer and company coming tomorrow. If using creamed soup I'd advise to leave out the salt. Condensed soup will flavor it. I am allergic to wheat so need to make an alternative to the cream soup. I will use rice noodles and flavor some cottage cheese that I can cream in the blender. . The cottage cheese also has a lot of salt. Since taste buds respond to oil. I would put a little olive oil or butter with the cottage cheese to make it creamy."

Clarets see off Gulls thanks to Haysman strike
By Brian Jeeves in Football
Canvey Island 0-1 Chelmsford City
CHELMSFORD CITY extended their unbeaten pre-season run to four games following a 1-0 win at Canvey Island.
Kane Haysman's goal after 58 minutes proved to be enough as Rod Stringer's Vanarama National League South won at The Financial Frost Stadium. Former Claret Frankie Merrifield had the hosts' first real attempt on goal, however, a low save down to the right from Sam Beasant nullified the effort.
Eight minutes later the hosts thought they had the lead when Callum Ibe drilled Albert Levett's through-ball past Beasant, however, the scores remained level due to the assistant referee's flag being raised for offside.
The Clarets briefly threatened towards the end of the half, but, proceedings were brought to an end with the scoreline level after a tight opening forty-five minutes.
Stringer's side continued to threaten in the opening encounters of the second half, but neither Lee Barnard nor Shaun Batt could break the deadlock. Batt created an excellent chance to score by crossing to Barnard on 54 minutes but Elliott Warren managed to deny the strikers a goalscoring opportunity.
James Walker was left ruing his missed chance after watching his shot cleared off the line, following David Knight's cut back when the ball was won in midfield by Haysman and the tricky winger drove forward before slotting past Conor Gough.
City almost doubled their lead on 82 minutes when Barnard was inches away from tucking home Michael West's cross before the midfielder saw his own shot palmed away by Gough four minutes later.
The hosts had one late chance to equalise against the Clarets but a trialist was unable to convert at the far post as Danny Heale's side were left beaten by City.
