An all-new phishing attack is targeting all Apple gadgets running the iOS 7 or 8 operating systems. The attacks attempt to trick victims into downloading malware known as XAgent.
What's scary about this attack is the fact that Trend Micro, the security company who uncovered the malware, believes that XAgent is part of Operation Pawnstorm.
According to Trend Micro, Operation Pawnstorm is the company's name for a group of Russian hackers who have targeted employees of defense contractors and government agencies in the past.
The newest weapon created for Operation Pawnstorm is XAgent, an app that secretly uploads all of your contacts, pictures, text messages and personal information to the hacker's server.

I live in Rochester, NY. Snow is often in the forecast here from October to May, and good boots are an essential part of staying warm and dry. But I hate boot shopping. With a vengeance. Trying to find boots that will fit over my ginormous calves is not my idea of fun. I frustrate sales people, I frustrate myself, and I always walk away empty-footed handed. For the past three or four winters, I've been wearing my hiking boots when it snows, because the idea of going to the store and going through the boot shopping process is almost more loathsome than bathing suit shopping.
When Planet Shoes offered to send me a pair of boots from their Eco Shop to review, I warned them about my ginormous calves. They suggested I try the Keen Bern High Boot in Crouton. I've been wearing a pair of Keen slip-ons as my primary shoes since 2008, and they are still in fighting form. I love how durable and comfortable they are. So, I agreed to give the Bern High Boot a try, even though I suspected they wouldn't fit my problem calves. I have never been so happy to be wrong before. Not only did they fit, but they are fabulous.
Planet Shoes sent the boots to me in a cardboard box with only the shoe box enclosed – no extra packaging or plastic (other than the tape on the box).
I was on the treadmill when the boots arrived. I stopped to grab the package, and when I realized that they fit, I jumped back on the treadmill and walked another two miles at an incline to test them out. There was no break-in period. These boots are seriously comfortable. So much so, that I didn't want to take them off, so when J came home, I was on the couch reading in sweatpants, my ugly writing sweater, and my new Keen boots, looking utterly ridiculous.
But the next day, when I met a friend for coffee, and did a little shopping, I wore them with a dress and looked entirely not-ridiculous. I actually got stopped by a complete stranger who wanted to know where I got my adorable boots!
They're warm enough to keep my toes from freezing while I'm outside, but not so warm that my feet start frying when I wear them indoors. They add a little height, but without any loss of stability – so important on icy sidewalks! They're water-resistant, and clean up easily. I love the stitch detail on the front, and the side buckles. They also have an inside zipper to make them easy to put on and take off. And most importantly, I love the fit. They fit my feet AND my calves!
The footbed is Keen.Cush, which is "a blend of recycled PU, cork, and memory foam that contours to your feet and adjusts to give you the cushioning you need throughout your day." Keen makes durable products, with concern and respect for the environment and community, and since 2004 has distributed more than $4.5 million to causes in line with their company mission.
When I get products to review, they have to pass my would I buy these? test before I'll post about them,* and I would absolutely buy these boots. I'm obsessively watching the site, hoping that they'll get a pair of black Bern High Boots in my size in stock. I also really enjoyed browsing on the Planet Shoes Eco Shoe Shop. They have a huge selection – currently, 1,056 styles – in the Eco Shop alone, and lot of neat brands I haven't seen anywhere else. They have a Made in the USA shop as well, and the categories on the site make it easy to find what you're looking for. The Bern High Boots are leather, but if you're in need of vegan shoes, you can easily find them at Planet Shoes. The product photos and descriptions are great (and were very accurate for the Bern High Boot). Many of the style descriptions includes video of models walking in the shoes, so you can see how they move and fit before you order. Not only would I buy these boots, but I also plan to shop at Planet Shoes in the future. These are making me long for summer.
*We have a strict if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all review policy at The Greenists, so while Planet Shoes sent me these boots to review, I was under no obligation to post about them or Planet Shoes, and my opinions are my own.
Those are some great boots! It's so rare to find shoes that are eco-friendly AND made in the USA. I will most definitely check out Planet Shoes!
I was so excited reading about these boots—until I realized they were leather. I've been having such a hard time finding decent vegan boots, mostly because I also have ginormous calves. It's so frustrating to keep ordering boots from Mooshoes and then having to mail them back because they don't fit. Any suggestions?
I love those! It's so hard to find a winter boot that's warm and durable but also looks good. Those are a great option!
More importantly (for me,) I clicked on the Made in USA link and discovered that New Balance makes some trail runners domestically! I had given up on finding American-made trail runners, because even New Balance's website led me to believe that they didn't make the shoes I need stateside. I've seriously been on a year-long quest and it looks like you've solved my dilemma!
Also, I think all retailers should have a "Made in USA" search option on their websites. Just for that feature, I will definitely be giving Planet Shoes a good look and possibly some business.
I love NEUAURA http://www.neuaurashoes.com for their fashionable and vegan footwear. They have so many styles and I love that they use an eco-conscious facility to make their shoes and donate 10% to worthy causes!
I have two pairs of these- they are great! Warm, weatherproof, and cute!
I absolutely love these boots. I seem to have a problem with any boots, because my toes freeze all the time. But I guess I'll give these a try. Thanks for posting.
OOOH. I love the boots! I'm off to look for some in a camel color!
Oh, Allie, I have those ginormous calves too, along with small ankles and small feet for me! I feel your pain. Finding boots is a major dilemma for me. I once ordered boots online and couldn't get them past my heels! Never again from that store. I will check out your link for sure! Thanks for the info! We miss your doggies.
I've been eyeing these boots for awhile. I think your review was just the push I needed to actually go out and buy them!
I'm at once repelled and astounded by their knit tubeflops. killer boots, though, good call.


Food for thoughts: Uri Klein's article about Efraim Kishon in "Haarez" (Hebrew).
On 13.03 the exhibition of Ofer Cohen and Amir Leder was opened in Barbur.
A film by Yuval Rimon.
The film was made following the Groups work No 091138-05.
A day in life of S. Yizhar as an infant, with his 80 years old voice, reading from his autobiography.
Niv Hachlili and Elan Frenkel will talk about education and environmental justice in East Jerusalem.
There is always someone that needs what you have no use for anymore.
On Tuesday 14.03 from 12:00 till evening , for the first time in Barbur and in the neighborhood – Exchange Market!
You are invited to bring anything you don't need and don't use anymore and to take anything you think may be useful for you.
There will be clothes, books, different objects and toys.
The Market will allow people to meet and trade goods or services without the exchange of money.
It can be a starting point for creating lists of people that offer their qualifications, abilities and services for exchage. We hope that will enable a growing use of Barter as a way for local trade. See you on Tuesday.
On Monday 13.03 at 20:00 there will be the opening of a new exhibition in Barbur. This time we welcome two painters – Amir Leder and Ofer Cohen. They work in quite different ways and mediums: Amir paints on computer(!) and Ofer paints with simple kid's gouache on wood boards. They have met in Barbur, became interested in each one works and decided to exhibit together. We are looking forward to see the result.
Over a period of nearly two decades, Nissim Mossek filmed two families living on Haladiya Street in the Moslem Quarter of Jerusalem's Old City.
The family of Abu Bassam, long-time Moslem residents and the family of Danny Robbins, Jewish settlers, live close to each and their lives reflect the events that have occurred on Haladiya Street.
Is it possible for two men and their families to live together on Haladiya Street, given the street's history and the background of conflict, murder, and hate?


Whether you are just starting out or need some motivation to keep pushing, here are some words of wisdom from member success stories that are sure to inspire you.
Kelli: Incorporating regular exercise into her life was not a new idea for Kelli, who began running regularly about 20 years ago. High mileage was her routine for about 10 years until her kids were born. Then she began to deal with one of the biggest challenges we can all face in maintaining our fitness - time!
Shaun: Shaun lost over 60 pounds by educating himself on how to improve his eating habits and paired that with regularly attending drop-in classes, like Power 45 and Fusion 45.
Matt: Matt says that his biggest hurdle in staying committed was himself. He left work feeling drained and wanting to relax at home, but he realized how much better he felt when he began exercising during the day to break up the work routine. By burning off his excess energy, Matt says he concentrates better at work, sleeps better at night, and has a better sense of self.
Charis: Charis had always been an active person with high school sports, but fast forward to loads of studying in nursing school combined with poor nutrition, and she gained over 60 pounds. When she started working as a nurse she heard from people that "you'll walk off the weight", but somehow gained another 20 pounds and knew something had to change.

Wouldn't it be nice if every child had a carefree childhood? Unfortunately, growing up is not easy. What happens if a child needs help? Through play therapy and other modes of expressive therapy we are able to understand a child's inner world and reach him or her. A child is given the place to be able to express herself in atmosphere that is both non-judgmental and safe. A child can then move on in his development with a greater sense of self and confidence.
Contact us to arrange an appointment if your child or another child you love could benefit from expressive therapy.


Cannabutter is a butter-based substance that contains THC (or, more specifically, cannabinoids). By heating cannabis and butter, the fat in the butter allows for the extraction of the cannabinoids. For more information, check out The Science of Cooking with Cannabis. You can also make cannabutter with wax but this article will cover making it from the leafs and buds. There are a number of effective methods for making cannabutter, two of which will be explained here.
Note: A ratio of 1/2oz cannabis to 3/4 LB butter is recommended.
#1 – Place the cannabis tops on a baking sheet and place in the oven at the lowest possible temperature, or no higher than 150 degrees fahrenheit. This will help dry out the buds which aids its release into the butter. It also "activates" (decarboxylate) some of the inactive cannibinoids into the all important THC.
#2 – Crush the marijuana into a fine powder, using enough to fill a boiling pot roughly 1/3 full. Using a mixture of 1-part butter and 4-parts water, fill the pot until it is about 3/4 full. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 30 minutes. Stir frequently.
#3 – After about 30 to 90 minutes, remove any matter from the bottom of the pot. Strain with Cheesecloth. Cool at room temperature and then transfer to a refrigerator. The butter will form on the top and, once it has been thoroughly cooled, will harden so it can be removed from the pot. After removing the butter, discard the remaining water.
#1 – Using a saucepan, melt butter. Sift the marijuana and add it to the melted butter. Allow the mixture to simmer until the butter becomes green in color. Pour the mixture through Cheesecloth and press that saturated cannabis to squeeze out as much butter as possible. Repeat this process if extra potency is required (be sure to use the same butter for best results).
#2 – The cannabutter can be effectively frozen if it needs to be stored. It can also be stored in the refrigerator by pouring cold water over the top of the butter (the water keeps oxygen from reaching the butter and also stops the butter from floating to the top).
#3 – There are a variety of other methods for making cannabutter, all of which are effective yet somewhat similar to those previously described. Once you've gotten used to cooking with cannabis, you will be able to find a technique that works best for you depending on the preparations methods you prefer.
Important Information About Cannabis Food Safety Cannabis, like any other produce item, may contain air-borne pathogens, mold, and other contaminates. Marijuana not being used should always be stored in an airtight container, preferably a glass mason jar. When cooking with cannabis you should discard any marijuana plant matter that has mold or mildew. Cannabis should always be cooked or heated to above 140 degrees fahrenheit to kill potential air-borne contaminates.
It is important to know the footprint of the marijuana being used. Knowing what chemicals, if any, were used to produce it can be helpful information pertaining to your health.
Well we hoped you learned about how to make cannabutter and use it wisely in your daily meals.

Report: Hispanic Education Disparities Threaten San Diego Economy

Hispanic Education Disparities Threaten San Diego Economy: EDC GUESTS: Sera Hernandez, professor, San Diego State University Carlos Cortez, president, San Diego Continuing Education
When San Diego's fastest growing population is underserved in the area of higher education, the County has a big problem on its hands, that is the assessment of the San Diego regional economic developing corporation, their study identifies the higher education gap among Latinos as one of three economic pain points facing the area. 34% of San Diego's Latino population haven't graduated from high school, and only 15% have a college degree, this week we have been examining the issues causing the regions growing economic inequity, and today the issue is the education gap, and joining me is Professor Sarah Mendez, of the English learner education department. >> Thank you for having me. >> Carlos Cortez is here, part of San Diego continuing education, the adult education arm of the district, thank you for coming, Carlos. >> Thank you for having me. >> How significant a factor is it? >> Languages -- languages significant. Latino students and families have been a part of the public school system for ages, and what we are finding in those last several decades is that students and their families have been told that they need to leave their language of the door, we are turning a point now, about a couple of decades of the most recent restrictive policies, proposition 227, which passed in 1998, and entering a new area -- era that is positive, and for Latino students, it is critical that we allow and leverage their home language, language is a key in ensuring that they thrive in our society. >> Carlos, what are the best practices based on research for teaching English learner students? >> The education is beginning with embracing the entire student, the home culture, and home language, and using the first language to build capacity in second or third languages. Dual immersion programs have gained increasing attention throughout the United States, particularly in southern Cologne -- California, both the first language in the listening which. >> How many students who come to continuing education left high school because of language issues, would you say? >> The factors that cause them to opt out rather than dropout, are myriad, but the challenges without a real push up bilingual is -- bilingual education, they don't get out of it, they get stuck and labeled as by -- bilingual education students and so the curriculum a receipt is dumbed down, and students who opt out of school, and students who are not redesignated as English only students. >> It must be also demoralizing, for the individual student to begin to realize that they are just not keeping up, and they are not going to keep up, tell us about that process, because you see it firsthand? >> The effective filter, which applies from my perspective not only to language learners, but to all learners, and learning is more effective, and students are more successful, when they feel comfortable in the environment, supportive, when they believe that the educators have their best interest at heart, when the educational program is structured around their interests and their needs, and oftentimes supporting English language learners doesn't value the student and what the student brings to the table, so the psychological component of education is asked -- extremely important, we have to make them feel welcome before we can engage them in learning. >> And it is not just about language, what about more Latino teachers in the classroom, how would that affect education outcomes? But we know that there is a teacher shortage in general, but also teachers of color, bilingual teachers, a huge shortage, the estimate is that over the next decade, California will need close to 6000 teachers, so when we have students that have a -- have been a product of subtractive schooling, they have had little or no access, to bilingual programs, we see they are not opting for that, they don't feel competent in their English and Spanish by literacy skills, so there are other skills, one of them is the seal of tragedy to -- biliteracy, is that the Latino kind bilingual students, the ones that have that seal of biliteracy are stronger in the program, they have been told since an early age that their Spanish is an asset, and many students that we have, and the discrepancy, are not being told that now, that is the discrepancy between community members. >> And typically, education reforms come from teachers and not from business, but do you think there's anything that businesses could do to improve graduation rates, and to welcome more Latino individuals into the business environment? >> Going into schools is important, other opportunities, direct partnerships with community members, we see there is a trend of students in those schools, going on to increasing social mobility, and going on to different types of careers, we are trying to increase the pathway from community college and high school the -- and high school level, partnering with Southwestern and other community colleges, and I encourage businesses to do the same, with educators, so that we can provide more opportunities and starting at an earlier stage for our Latino students. >> I know that is important to you, as well, Carlos, in your capacity as an educator, what you see businesses role in all of this, and trying to keep Latino students in school, the importance of graduation, gaining a college degree, where does business factor into that? But employers are critical, particularly for internships, the average family median income, is less than $5000 per year, we need to get some way for students to both earn money, and attend school concurrently, in order for them to advance their opportunities in life, and so I implore any employers who are interested in supporting us with job mentorship opportunities -- internship, connect with us, we have a partnership now with the San Diego rescue Mission, 24 of their residence coming and taking career technical education courses in the evening, and we now need to tell -- find 24 employers, in HVAC, welding, plumbing and office skills, if there are employers out there interested in partnering, there are always opportunities. >> I have been speaking with Professor Sarah Hernandez of San Diego states Department of dual language and English learner education. And Carlos Cortez, thank you so much period >>> -- Thank you so much.
When San Diego's fastest growing population is underserved in the area of higher education, the county has a big problem on its hands. That's the assessment of the San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation, which identified three economic threats that could contribute to economic inequality.
Latinos are the fastest growing racial demographic in San Diego and will make up 40 percent of the region's population by 2030, more than any other group. But 34 percent of Latinos do not finish high school, compared to 12 percent of whites; only 15 percent graduate college, compared to 49 percent of whites.
"The fastest growing population is statistically the least prepared for high-skilled, high-wage jobs," the EDC wrote in its report.
RELATED: San Diego Businesses Point To Looming Economic 'Pain Points'
The problem is far from specific to San Diego. A study last year from The Education Trust-West found most Latino students in California aren't proficient in math or English language arts and attend some of the most segregated schools in the country.
San Diego and other school districts in the state are seeing progress in recent years as they implement dual language programs, said Sera Hernandez, a professor at San Diego State University's Dual Language and English Learner Education department.
"If we have programs that value the home language, we're already winning," she said. "It makes me think back to when I was an elementary school teacher in the late '90s. That was far from what we were being told. It was all about, 'You need to be speaking English in the home.' Families should be encouraged to use the language they know best."
RELATED: San Diego Small Business Wages Lag Behind
But even as Latino graduations rates are improving around the country to record highs, that doesn't address those who were in school decades ago but never finished or pursued college.
Carlos Cortez is the president of San Diego Continuing Education, the adult education arm of the San Diego Community College District.
"The largest opt-out population is Latinos who were dumped into ESL and never moved out of those programs, never given the chance to prove themselves," he said.
Cortez suggested that as the business community considers how it can help narrow the education gap, it should focus on student internships that pay full-time wages.
"The average income of someone in our high school education program is less than $5,000 per year," Cortez said. "The immediate solution is dollars. They don't have money to stop what they're doing, to put their lives on hold, to complete degree programs. The majority of immigrant populations are living without financial security."
As part of our weeklong coverage of the threats to San Diego's economy, Hernandez and Cortez join KPBS Midday Edition on Wednesday to discuss other ways businesses can improve Latino graduation rates.

Language legislation in Ireland and the United Kingdom: Exploring the gaps between theory and practice

Supervisor(s): Mullally, Siobhan
The central objective in this thesis is to explore the gaps between the normative justifications advanced for language rights and language legislative protection and the effective realisation of those rights and legislative provisions in practice. This objective is achieved by examining the scope and application of language rights and legislative provisions within language legislation in Ireland and the United Kingdom. Drawing on Canadian jurisprudence advocating for language rights to be recognised as "purposeful", the thesis considers the extent to which Ireland and the United Kingdom have limited the acceptance of positive obligations as they relate to the provision of language services in the public sphere. In arguing that language rights are distinct in nature, the thesis suggests that in order for language rights to be effectively realised, an approach to language rights and language legislation more generally must be underpinned by a substantive vision of equality, otherwise language rights and legislative provisions merely amount to symbolic recognition and vacuous rhetoric as opposed to being substantive and enabling rights and provisions. Having said that, the thesis also recognises and elucidates the practical difficulties that arise in the realisation of language rights and language legislative provisions and in doing so seeks to stimulate further dialogue about the nature and limits of language rights and language legislation.

Signature dishes encapsulate the passions and cooking style of their creators—the culinary equivalent of artists finding their own style. In this series, we tell the stories of sublime signature dishes that define the world's top chefs and their careers, starting with Wolfgang Puck and Spago's enduring smoked salmon pizza.
Every year, Hollywood A-Listers look forward to this dish at the annual Oscars Governors Ball. It's been on the menu of the original Spago in Beverly Hills since 1982 when it was created, spawning copycat versions in restaurants and homes alike all around the world. Yes, we're talking about Wolfgang Puck's signature smoked salmon pizza.
At Spago, crisp pizza dough hot from the oven is slathered with dill-infused crème fraîche and topped with smoked salmon (that's cured in-house, no doubt) and a generous dollop of caviar before it's finished with caramelized shallots. The juxtaposition of hot and cold, crisp and creamy, and sweet and savory flavors has made it an enduring favorite.
The story goes that Puck invented his most famous dish one night when legendary actress Joan Collins ordered smoked salmon with brioche and the restaurant was out of bread. Quick on his feet, Puck replaced the bread with a freshly baked pizza crust and created an elevated version of a classic bagel and cream cheese.
The current incarnation features whole salmon that is butchered by Spago's chefs and seasoned with cloves, bay leaves, parsley, thyme and brown sugar. The cured salmon is then smoked in-house, the whole process taking up to four days. Cooked to order, the pizza dough is fired with shaved dried onion and olive oil until the crust is crackling before being covered with crème fraîche infused with dill, shallots, lemon juice, salt and pepper, and crowned with smoked salmon slices and caviar.
In many ways, Puck was a trendsetter, pioneering the idea of open kitchens in restaurants and popularizing a whole new genre of gourmet pizzas.

I know how you're feeling. Summer is half over and it's time to start thinking about your classroom, right? Whether it is your first, 15th or 30th year teaching, this can be an exciting yet stressful time. That's where I come in. I am sharing my favorite things about my classroom, how they work for me and most importantly how they help me teach my students. I have broken my classroom down into stations, for instance library, computer station, play dough station and sensory station. You can find my favorite products as well as the link to the post that explains more. These are my Teacher Must Haves For The Classroom. I hope this helps relieve some stress for you and enjoy this time to prep!
And of course..Happy Back To School!
We all know how important classroom libraries are. Here are my favorite ideas and my must haves for my classroom. I also have tips for how I organize my classroom library here.
Playdough is a fantastic tool for teaching so much, plus it is a great sensory activity as well. You can read how I use playdough in the classroom here.
Sensory is a fantastic way to help teach literacy as well as math or other concepts. You can see how I use sensory in my classroom here.
I live by these. They are a fantastic way to help teach different skills and concepts and I could not do without them! You can see all of my favorite Anchor Chart Ideas HERE!
Do you use pocket charts? They are fantastic for practicing sentence structure as well as other literacy concepts. You can read all about what I do here.
As much as the world is anti-screen time for kids, I find many benefits of using technology in the classroom. It is important for students to not only learn how to use technology but apps and programs are helpful in teaching students concepts! Here is how my computer station is set up.
Mouse pads are a must but I like this one because it is aluminum not foam that will be destroyed quickly.
Computer chairs are crucial. These are awesome because they have removable & washable covers!
Organizing guided reading material is so important for not only my sanity but also for helping my students know what to do and where to go.
One thing I love is seeing other teacher's classrooms! Classroom reveals are SO FUN, don't you think? Here is mine from a few years back. Although I've made a few changes, these pictures show what has really worked for me for years! I'm sharing my favorites so you can have the same success for me!
