Acknowledgement of the year's Sacred Teaching
Spá:th, (the Bear) teaches us alwes (courage). Courage is the ability to face danger, fear, or changes with confidence and bravery. The Bear provides many lessons in the way it lives, but courage is the most important teaching it offers. Though gentle by nature, the ferociousness of a mother Bear, when one of her cubs is approached, is the true definition of courage, as she will fearlessly protect their cubs against larger bears and other dangers. To have the mental and moral strength to overcome fears that prevent us from living our true spirit as human beings is a great challenge that must be met with the same vigour and intensity as a mother Bear protecting her cub. Living of the heart and living of the spirit is difficult, but the Bear's example shows us how to face any danger to achieve these goals. Additionally, the bear also reminds us to be playful and to rest when needed.

What the nonprofit organization doesn't highlight is the money behind that message.
The foundation collected nearly 90 percent of its $5 million in funding last year from the drug and medical-device industry — and closely mirrors its positions, an examination by ProPublica found.
Some of the foundation's board members have extensive financial ties to drugmakers, ProPublica found, and the group has lobbied against federal and state proposals to limit opioid use. Painkiller sales have increased fourfold since 1999, but the foundation argues that pain remains widely undertreated.
"If you were a drug company, wouldn't it be smart to make it look like you had a patient-oriented group?" said Gary Franklin, a Washington state official who tussled with the foundation over new restrictions on high-dose painkillers.
ProPublica's review found that the foundation's guides for patients, journalists and policymakers play down the risks associated with opioids and exaggerate their benefits. Opioids, derived from the poppy plant, reduce the perception of pain by attaching to opioid receptors in the brain, spinal cord and elsewhere in the body.
Some of the foundation's materials on the drugs include statements that are misleading or based on scant or disputed research.
Andrew Kolodny, a New York psychiatrist who heads Physicians for Responsible Opioid Prescribing, said the foundation has built credibility with politicians and regulators who might not be aware of the extensive industry ties.
Rowe, however, said that with scant options to treat chronic pain, opioids have made the difference between days and nights of agony and a return to productive life for millions of patients. Critics, he said, have a hard time understanding that these patients are willing to risk serious side effects to gain relief.
Many doctors, especially those providing primary care, had long ignored pain as a condition that warranted its own treatment.
But in recent years, pain doctors split. Some began decrying the increasingly widespread use of opioids and questioned whether the drugs worked. Others, like the foundation's leaders, said the drugs were being unfairly maligned, making pain patients feel like criminals and discouraging doctors from prescribing them.
"Right now, the system is awash in opioids, dangerous drugs that got people hooked and keep them hooked," CDC Director Thomas Frieden said in a recent news briefing.
Today, the American Pain Foundation's Web site offers publications for patients, policymakers and even journalists. Each depicts the benefits of opioids, and each is underwritten by the makers of those drugs.
Its patient guide, paid for by four companies, discusses several treatments for pain. It says such pain relievers as aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen commonly cause gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcers, delay blood clotting, decrease kidney function and could increase the risk of stroke or heart attack. And it warns patients to use these pain pills at the lowest dose and stop them unless clearly needed.
The side effects of opioids, on the other hand, are minor, and most go away "after a few days," the foundation's guide says. Patients, it says, shouldn't worry if they need more of a drug. They are not developing an addiction.
But the cited article does not include this statistic or deal with addiction in children. "I would much prefer that they would put in there something that could be substantiated by a real reference," said Leonard Paulozzi, a CDC medical epidemiologist specializing in drug overdoses.
A recent report by the National Institute on Drug Abuse said estimates of addiction among chronic pain patients using opioids range from 3 percent to as high as 40 percent.
Rowe, the foundation's chief executive, acknowledged that some of its publications need updating. He pointed to additional materials on the group's new PainSAFE Web site, which includes a broader description of the risks. But the foundation continues to post outdated guides and even refers to them in newer materials.
In 2005, it filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit in support of William Hurwitz, a pain doctor in Virginia who had been convicted on 50 counts of drug trafficking.
Years earlier, the foundation opposed several pain patients who had sued Purdue Pharma in an Ohio county court for obscuring the risks of OxyContin.
The foundation filed a friend-of-the-court brief backing Purdue, arguing that the health of all pain patients would be harmed if the class-action lawsuit went forward because doctors would be fearful of prescribing opioids.
Ohio was plagued by "opiophobia" according to a brief written by the foundation and two smaller pain nonprofits.
In a separate federal case in 2007, Purdue pleaded guilty to misbranding OxyContin "in an effort to mislead and defraud physicians and consumers" and agreed to pay $600 million in penalties, according to a statement from prosecutors. Three top officials also pleaded guilty to misdemeanors and agreed to pay $34.5 million.
Two months after the conviction, however, then-foundation Chairman James Campbell praised Purdue in a statement to a U.S. Senate committee.
The foundation routinely weighs in on state and federal debates over how to regulate painkillers. But although its officials blame poorly educated physicians for the growing problems with opioids, it fought against a 2009 suggestion by the Food and Drug Administration that doctors be certified to ensure they understood the drugs' risks.
The FDA backed off. Such education remains voluntary.
"How can a therapy be considered if there's no evidence that it works and there's evidence of lots of side effects?" Mitchell Katz, one of the authors and director of the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services, said in an interview.
The foundation board's chairman and president, Scott Fishman, is stepping down at the end of the month. In a statement to ProPublica, he said that his views have evolved and that he now believes opioids are overused and addictive. But he defended the group.
"I have not always agreed with APF positions and have had disagreements with some APF leaders and patient advocates about many issues in pain management, including the appropriate place of chronic opioid therapy," wrote Fishman, chief of pain medicine at the University of California at Davis.

I've bought quite a few IDs from FYD over the past year (50 or so unique IDs) and over this past year I've noticed that FYD might have some consistency problems. I've bought FYD Ohios for myself twice now each with a duplicate and all 4 of them have some flaw that the others don't have so this review is going to be based on the best ID I've received and others should know that they may or may not receive an ID like this.
Always speedy, some of the best customer service I've had the pleasure of dealing with.
I'm pretty sure his 50% off promo is always going on and his reseller benefits are pretty solid. He makes high quality IDs for a very reasonable price.
About three weeks for larger orders, closer to two for 1-2 IDs.
Possibly a little too thick but there's so much variance in Ohio IDs I'm willing to bet there are a few people with real IDs that have signatures that look like this.
The best Ohio template. It even holds its own against a real ID right next to it, the only problem I've seen is the non-variable text is a little too bold just like every other Ohio fake I've seen (but that text is so small you'd really have to be looking hard with a real ID right next to it to notice).
All photos I've taken have been with the same camera on the same background in the same room. Most of the time the pictures are great but sometimes I'll get someone that looks a little too dark despite there being no difference in pictures on my end.
It's there, just WAY too bright like every other fake Ohio. I've also noticed that FYD struggles to align the OVI layer, it's never straight and sometimes even hangs off of the ID. Also over time it has creased, not that real IDs won't, it's just this fake creased more easily than a real one would have.
It's all there, the only problem is theres always one character in "OHIO - 1803" that's more faded from the rest and it's never the same one.
It does but the barcode on the back is pretty big. I've never been let into a club or bar when the bouncer checks the back of the ID, however not many do so it's not that bad. It should also be noted that every now and then I'll receive an ID where the magnetic stripe is chipping.
FYD makes some killer IDs but it should be known that he's not the most consistent. If you're paying $80/ID like his website lists the ID for I might say proceed with caution but at $35-$40/ID I'd have a hard time recommending a better ID for the price.

The more I think about this week, I've realized it was a necessary evil. It started off strong with my Monday night 3 miler. Each week I've seen my pace quicken on these runs, and I can tell it shows in my racing. But that was the only good run I had all week. Wednesday afternoon I started to feel like I was dragging. I was completely exhausted and struggled to make it to the gym. My pace was around 9:15, clearly something was off. By Thursday morning a plague was going around our home and both Darren and I were getting sick. I had no energy and unfortunately had to skip Yoga-lates. I even passed up on the Medina Country Road Runners meeting I'd been hoping to attend. I was in a fog, had a temperature, and my nose was running a whole lot more than I was. But now that this sickness is on its way out, I can focus on running again. I was mentally and physically worn down, and it caught up to me. Running wasn't wearing me down, but outside influences weren't letting me enjoy my runs.
Now I'm ready to get back in the gym, I'm ready to spend an hour sweating out everything and leaving with an refreshed mind. I'm craving a long outdoor run and hill repeats. I needed to get sick, so that I could start fresh on everything. I have 5 weeks left until Flying Pig. Not only will these weeks be important to the race, but they'll set the tone on my summer workouts.
This next week brings a fresh start in training, and also a new month to rack up those miles. I've got a 5k this weekend that I'm really excited for. We'll see if another PR is in these legs.
How was your week? Are you glad April is finally here?

As a parent of a graduate of KIDS of El Paso County, and as a teacher, I support the KIDS drug treatment program. Our daughter entered KIDS in June 1986 at the age of 21. My husband and I feared for her life. She was suicidal, out of touch with reality and had had several serious automobile accidents due to drunken driving. She had attended several colleges as a talented pianist, but could not stay in any for long. She dropped out of the last college to live with her druggie boyfriend. Her father and I were desperate. We could see our daughter dying. When she first entered the KIDS program, she was a reluctant participant; however she remained voluntarily until October 1987 when she completed the program. KIDS is not an easy program. It is hard for parents and siblings. But it is worth all of the time and effort when one can see what a valuable, loving, productive person a once drug dependent kid can become. In addition to our daughter's becoming drug-free, our older son, once chemically dependent, is attending AA in another state. Our younger son, who started drugs, is now drug-free. I have had students from other drug treatment centers as well as students from KIDS. Students from KIDS have learned a life style that gives them a better chance to live a healthy and drug-free life. El Paso needs KIDS of El Paso County. Other families deserve the same kind of help.

New York begins closing Empire Zone loopholes that allow businesses to claim bogus tax breaks
Updated December 28, 2009 at 11:40 AM ; Posted February 16, 2008 at 11:30 PM
By Stan Linhorst
StanLinhorst@gmail.com,
This report is the latest in an ongoing investigation by The Post-Standard. You can read earlier reports about "The Great Empire Zone Giveaway." You can also search through records at www.syracuse.com/data/empirezones and see for yourself who's cashing in.
New York is slowly fixing the Empire Zone tax break program. For seven years, businesses exploited the program's loopholes to grab millions of dollars worth of tax breaks while creating few jobs.
Gov. Eliot Spitzer's administration has launched a multipronged effort to weed out some abusers of a program that costs New York taxpayers $600 million a year.
Recently, the state's tax department denied $1.7 million in Empire Zone tax credits to five businesses for 2005. That crackdown for the first time targeted so-called shirt-changers, companies that changed their names to qualify for tax breaks intended for true start-ups.
Because businesses can claim the tax breaks for up to 13 years, the audits will eventually save New York a projected $17 million, said Tom Bergin, tax department spokesman.
The tax department is auditing the returns of 19 more businesses that may have received big Empire Zone tax breaks by simply changing their corporate names, and it plans to audit 150, Bergin said. Meanwhile, this month Empire State Development Corp., which runs the program, notified 180 businesses -- including 39 in five counties surrounding Syracuse -- that the state may kick them out of the program.
"Unfortunately, some of these businesses have been taking advantage of a system that needs to be fixed," agency co-chairman Patrick Foye testified Monday in Albany at a state budget hearing.
The 180 businesses missed by at least 60 percent the job creation or investment projections they made to qualify for the program. Those businesses, which the agency would not identify, were given 10 days to explain to the state why they should not be expelled, said A.J. Carter, an Empire State Development Corp. spokesman.
"There's probably some companies that should be decertified," said Donald Western, Onondaga County's Empire Zone coordinator. "My guess is there will be."
In his proposed 2008 budget, Spitzer said the state will save $50 million per year, beginning this year, by kicking out companies that didn't hit job or investment goals. Since 2001, when the Empire Zone program took off, the state hasn't booted any businesses for that reason.
It's not clear whether the state can legally do that, said certified public accountant Daniel Fordham, of Plattsburgh, and David Gross, of Buffalo, who has written an Empire Zone reference manual.
Within months, an administrative law judge is expected to issue a ruling in the state's first attempt to disqualify a company for missing its targets. That case involves 81 & 13 Cortland Associates, which owns Riverside Plaza, a half-vacant strip mall in Cortland.
Meanwhile, records obtained this month by The Post-Standard show the program remains full of companies getting multimillion-dollar tax breaks without creating many jobs.
The agency released records in which 9,000 businesses told it how much they intended to claim on their 2006 tax returns.
The records show that businesses continue to claim millions of dollars in credits without adding many workers. For instance:
- NRG Energy wants $20.4 million in tax breaks for old power plants that either rarely operate or are among the state's worst polluters.
- Bond, Schoeneck & King -- a 110-year-old Syracuse-based law firm that wants $1.47 million in tax credits for 2006 -- shuffled paperwork to make itself look new and qualify for bigger Empire Zone incentives.
- The Pyramid Cos. expected $11.8 million in tax breaks for Carousel Center and shopping centers in Watertown and Utica.
Although the program was first designed to spur job creation in depressed areas, 1,317 businesses with three or fewer workers expected $88 million in credits for 2006.
Big-box stores, such as The Home Depot and Lowe's, command millions per year in tax breaks while smaller, locally owned competitors pay their full taxes.
Other zone businesses are rewarded for creating low-paying jobs.
Servus Hotel Group, which owns the Holiday Inn in Auburn, expected nearly $297,000 in tax breaks for 2006. It paid its workers an average of $7.25 per hour.
In all, 562 businesses expecting tax breaks paid their workers average wages between $5 and $8 per hour, according to the state records.
The state Legislature voted in 2005 to extend the program until 2011.
Last year, several key lawmakers, including Assemblyman Richard Brodsky, D-Westchester, and Sen. James Alesi, R-Rochester, said the program was not cost-effective and should be scrapped.
"The right thing is to amend it, not end it," Foye told lawmakers Monday.
Through years of changes that preceded Spitzer, the state has made it much harder for applicants to get into the program.
"In the past it was pretty much a willy-nilly thing. You could say you were going to hire one person and get into the Empire Zone system. Now, that's not the case," said Gross, who owns Sales Tax Solutions & Consulting, a Buffalo firm that helps businesses get tax breaks.
Spitzer has also made the program more transparent.
The Post-Standard sued the state in 2006 to force the Empire State Development Corp. to release records of the tax breaks it awarded in 2003 and 2004. This year, the agency released the 2006 records 16 days after the newspaper filed a Freedom of Information Law request. You can search those Empire State Development Corp. records at www.syracuse.com/data/empirezones.

Where the money went:
Some of the state's largest, oldest and most politically connected law firms continued to reduce their tax bills by millions of dollars by using a program intended for new businesses, records show.
Hodgson Russ, a Buffalo firm that can trace its roots to Presidents Millard Fillmore and Grover Cleveland, said it would claim about $1.6 million in tax credits in 2006, state records show. Bond, Schoeneck & King, at 110 years old, claimed about $1.5 million. Harris Beach claimed about $1.2 million. That firm employs state Sen. Michael Nozzolio, former Gov. Hugh Carey and Robert Ryan, a former state aide who helped draft the Empire Zone legislation.
Millions for malls
The Carousel Center's developers claimed about $9.7 million in tax credits, an increase of more than $2 million over the year before.
Mall developer Robert Congel and his Pyramid Cos. partners warned Syracuse leaders in 2002 that Empire Zone tax credits were necessary to turn the mall into Destiny USA, a multibillion-dollar resort.
The mall is far from the 40,000 promised jobs. In 2006 -- the year before its current mall expansion began -- Pyramid reported about 110 jobs, 37 of them part time. The mall will qualify for Empire Zone credits every year until 2015.
The state also reimbursed about $1 million in property taxes on the Watertown mall owned by Congel's son Scott Congel. And the state erased about $1.2 million in property taxes on the Congels' Riverside Center in Utica.
Helping national chains
New York state continued to refund tax payments to big-box retail chains, such as Lowe's home centers, Home Depot, Target and Wal-Mart. Locally owned stores who pay their full taxes have complained that the chains have enough unfair advantages.
NPG: $3.7 million
A contingent of company leaders and union workers from Magna International Inc. visited elected officials in Albany and Washington last week to ask for government grants for training and equipment at the New Process Gear plant in DeWitt.
As part of a tentative union contract agreement, the company has promised to keep the plant open for four years and to invest in new equipment and infrastructure. The contract will cut wages and benefits for senior workers.
NPG expected to claim $3.7 million in Empire Zone credits in 2006.
Shirt-changers
Some of the state's oldest companies erased their property, sales and corporate income taxes by taking advantage of loopholes in an early version of the Empire Zone law.
All a 100-year-old business had to do was file paperwork that made it look new and it qualified for tax breaks intended for start-ups.
The biggest "shirt-changers" were old energy companies.
NRG Energy claimed $20.5 million in 2006. The company employs fewer than 10 workers at its three hydropower plants, including the Oswego Steam Station. Erie Boulevard Hydropower claimed $14 million.
Tom Golisano bought the Buffalo Sabres hockey team, playing since 1970, and qualified for $508,000 in tax breaks in 2006. Anaren Microwave, since 1967, claimed $355,000.

GCA president, Suraj Lotlikar, confirmed toSportstar that the formalities have been completed with Gautam, who made his first-class debut for Karnataka in 2008.
He established himself in all the formats, but the right-hand batsman struggled in the 2017-18 season and was left out of the Ranji Trophy last season.
A seasoned campaigner, Gautam has featured in 94 first-class matches for Karnataka and has scored 4,716 runs at an average of 41.36 with 24 half-centuries and 10 centuries. He was one of the key players of the Karnataka team which won back-to-back domestic trebles.
While Gautam will be one of the key players for Goa, the association has also decided to retain Amit Verma — another Karnataka cricketer, who played for Goa last season.
This season, the Goa senior team will be coached by former India international Dodda Ganesh. This will be the third stint as the Goa coach for the 47-year-old.
Gautam stated that the presence of Dodda Ganesh was one of the major
reasons behind his move. "It was one of the major factors. He's been
seeing me from my under-19 days. He has supported me and coached me. He has a great cricket brain," he said.
Relegated to Plate Division
Goa had a terrible show last season, losing seven of the nine matches in the Ranji Trophy Elite division and was relegated to the Plate division. The goal was to earn promotion back to the Elite division, Gautam said. "That is the reason they wanted an experienced pro like me. Amit (Verma) is also there. We have achieved a lot with Karnataka.
"We have to share our experience and help motivate the youngsters. If Amit and I contribute our best, with Dodda's experience, I'm sure we will be able to help Goa gain promotion."
Gautam added that he had moved out of Karnataka in search of a fresh challenge. "I needed a fresh challenge and a new atmosphere after 11 seasons with Karnataka," he said. "I had achieved everything there was to achieve. I felt it was the right time to move out."
In the Plate group, Goa will be facing the likes of Bihar, Puducherry, Meghalaya, Sikkim, Manipur, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram.
Earlier, there were speculations that India international, Stuart Binny, could also play for Goa this season.
But the GCA officials confirmed the move did not work out. Last season, Goa had roped in Mohammad Azharuddin's son, Mohammad Asaduddin as a guest player. But he failed to perform and could score only 17 runs in three innings, forcing the association to dump him this time around.

The 3 Ring mess that is the New york Jets
Posted bybklynboy59 October 8, 2014 October 8, 2014 Posted inSportsTags:John Idzik, New york Jets, rex ryan, Woody johnson
I might have been one of the few that actually believed the Jets would finish with a winning record this season at 9-7. Yes I believed that I thought they could steal a game early on like the Bears game in addition to the beating the Raiders and possibly split with the Patriots and they would have a shot at finisnhing 9-7…My friend Jon wasn't as optimistic as me and worried that they would bottom out early…well Jon looks like you were right about this season. But what is more telling is that they are a group that is out of control. You have a General manager that ignored filling his needs in the secondary and didn't even bother to look at the team's schedule, if he did he might have made a better offer and signed Dominique Rodgers Cromartie and would have retained Antonio Cromartie as well. He has a coach who is on a one year deal and has to win to keep his job, and then he doesn't give him support for the secondary. Having 24 million dollars in your pockets isn't helping your team if week after week they are getting beat down field.
The coach apparently doesn't have a feel of the offense and in his time with the Jets has no desire to learn it offer input or act like anything other than a glorified defensive coordinator.
The coach is losing his team especially if the story of Geno Smith missing saturday's meeting is true, then why did Geno Starton Sunday? That is s ure fire way to lose crediability with your team when players miss class time or practice time and then start anyway on Sunday. Geno was not a first round pick for a reason, he wasn't a top 5 pick for a reason and if the jets didn't select him when they did he would have been a late second early third pick for a reason, yet they treat him like he is the number 1 pick in the draft. He should have been given a clipboard and told to watch and take notes and then start Vick. Who by the way looked as unprepared to play in this game as ever.
The coach is trying to win to keep his job , tHis boss the general manager, John Idzik, sabotaged his coach Rex Ryan with no secondary while going up against the gauntlet of quarterbacks Rodgers, Cutler,Rivers, Manning( Peyton) and Brady, gee thanks boss.
By the way why did the Jets bromg Michael Vick in of they aren't going to play him? Haven't we seen this act before with Tim Tebow? Bring a guy in and you say how you are going to use him then don't for a long time then …ok Vick you're in and expect him to play well? Seriously?
Listen I am all for stability in my teams but only when they are heading in a winning direction which this isn't. They are headinig for south of 500 and most likely staying there. Geno is Idzik's choice he picked Geno, Ryan he wants gone so he can make his coach hire his and not be forced Ryan down his throat. This roster is his Geno, Vick and secondary, the not bringing back Darrelle Revis or signing Rodgers Cromartie that is all on Idzik. Ryan the class clown, is trying to make light of a bad situation but it will cost him his job. And the ring master of this whole circus is the one person I haven't mentioned yet…Woody Johnson.
The one reason Rex Ryan is still here after 3 non playoff seasons is Woody Johnson likes him why? I don't know. But it was there to cut ties with Ryan and yet he brought Rex back for one more season. What choice will Woody have should the Jets stick to the script of this season and finish out of the playoffs again? Woody should have cleabned house when he had the chance, when Mike Tannebaum was let go Rex should have been gone to followed by Mark Sanchez then start with a clean slate of General Manager, coach and quarterback instead Woody got rid of Tannebaum keep the coach and made the New GM keep the coach and toss the QB( Sanchez). So now you have a disfuntional foundation, that you have to burn this season to correct in the next offseason. I didn't think that when the Jets won the Super Bowl in 1969 that they would not be back in the SuperBowl again. At this rate the Rangers will win another Stanley Cup, The Knicks will win a NBA title and the Mets will win the World SEries sooner than the Jets will make the Super Bowl let alone win it.
It's always something with this franchise, whether it is AJ Duhe intercepting Richard Todd twice in the AFC Championship game in 1982 or it's Dan Marino and the fake spike or Rich Kottie and his weekly say the same thing over and over after every loss on the way to a 1-15 season there is always something now Geno Smith missed a meeting on saturday to go to the movies and then didn't know what movie he went to see or where he went to see it at…The mess that is the Jets … you can't make this stuff up.

Besides not being able to put a talented team on the field ( they have 3 able-bodied RBs but no WRs to scare an opponent) Rex Ryan, now in his sixth season with the club, owns a 43-42 record. Clearly a change is needed…
bklynboy59 says:
a change in culture big time!!! When Mangini was here it was button down …too button down . So rex lososen things up too the other extreme. Now we need a mix of both to balance things out. I can't figure out how someteams always manage to get great offensive coordinators yet the Jets always seem to get these off beat what kind of call was that O.C.s…Paul Hackett was the worse but the rest was nothing to write home about and now Morningweg…another in a long line of what kind of call was that ???
by the way thanks for commenting again I missed your comments!!!
Sorry Jerry, I've had the fantasy baseball playoffs, football of course, and now am in preparation for the upcoming basketball season. Been overwhelmed.
I read them all as they arrive in my email box but sometimes, like recently, just can't find the time to respond as often as I would like to.
Kepp up the outstanding work though. I still enjoy the read!

Citadel Botnet Author Pleads Guilty
By Ionut Arghire on March 22, 2017
A Russian national has pleaded guilty in a United States court to charges related to the development and distribution of the Citadel malware.
Mark Vartanyan, who has been going by the hacker name of "Kolypto," was arrested in Norway and extradited to the United States in Dec. 2016. For his role in the development and maintenance of the Citadel malware, he is charged with one count of computer fraud.
Citadel is a well-known information-stealing malware designed with keylogging capabilities as means to steal account credentials for online banking. The malware also recruited infected machines into botnets that were estimated in June 2013 to have been responsible for over half a billion dollars in financial fraud, affecting more than five million people in 90 countries.
The threat emerged soon after the source code for the Zeus malware emerged online. New variants of the malware were observed starting with late 2014, the most recent of them being Atmos, which was described about a year ago as Citadel's polymorphic successor. This variant had more than 1,000 bots in April last year.
Starting in 2011, Citadel was offered for sale on invite-only, Russian underground forums, and was used to target and exploit the networks of major financial and government institutions, U. S. Attorney John Horn said in a statement. The malware is estimated to have infected around 11 million computers worldwide.
Vartanyan is accused of being actively engaged in the "development, improvement, maintenance and distribution of Citadel" between August 21, 2012 and January 9, 2013, while living in Ukraine, and between April 9, 2014 and June 2, 2014, while living in Norway.
"During these periods, Vartanyan allegedly uploaded numerous electronic files that consisted of Citadel malware, components, updates and patches, as well as customer information, all with the intent of improving Citadel's illicit functionality," a last week announcement from the Department of Justice reads.
Vartanyan was charged in a one-count Information with computer fraud, and he is pleading guilty, the plea agreement filed this week by the U.S. Attorney's Office, Northern District of Georgia, reads (PDF). The hacker faces up to 10 years in prison and a maximum fine of $250,000.
"This defendant's alleged role in developing and improving "Citadel" for its use by cybercriminals caused a vast amount of financial harm to individuals and institutions around the world. His appearance in federal court today shows that cybercriminals cannot hide in the shadows of the Internet. We will identify them and bring them to justice wherever they operate," U.S. Attorney Horn said.

MOH Keeps Providing Janadriyah Visitors with Awareness Lectures and Health Services
The Ministry of Health (MOH), through its pavilion at Janadriyah, continues to provide visitors of the National Festival for Heritage and Culture (Janadriyah 28) with miscellaneous health-awareness lectures, by means of which the Ministry seeks to raise people's health awareness, through a constellation of specialists in the medical field.
The festival guests will be able to visit the MOH Pavilion every day, from 6 to 8 pm, where they can enjoy the events and activities organized daily involving health lectures and workshops, to be organized on the course of the festival events.
Lectures delivered at the pavilion shed light on a set of necessary topics revolving around diseases and how to avoid them; such as hypertension, domestic infectious diseases, dangers of smoking, obesity surgeries, occupational health, and home food safety, in addition to dental issues, such as combating tooth decay.
Visitors of the MOH Pavilion will also be introduced with the Saudi Dietary Guidelines and balanced food, through a lectured to be given by Dr. Sayed Mustafa and Ms. Haifaa al-Bakr on April 15th. It is intended to draw citizens' attention to what to eat, in terms of both the type and quantity of food, and familiarize them with the daily required intake of nutrients, meanwhile placing particular emphasis on the necessity of daily exercise for all age groups. In doing so, they will be helping reduce the incidence of nutrition-associated diseases and complications amidst the community members. Such diseases include: obesity and overweight, diabetes, hypertension, anemia, vitamin deficiency, and so forth. Among the targets set for the dietary guidelines, also, is to make the most of the basic foods rich in useful nutrients, encompassing: proteins, vitamins, minerals and fiber; alongside discouraging people from having fast food, soft drinks, as well as salty, sugary and fatty foods, let alone the crucial importance of amending the diet.
A set of lectures to be delivered at the pavilion will touch upon such pivotal topics as mother and child care. Under this topic, several points are to be highlighted, such as: the importance of breastfeeding for both the mother and child, the importance of child vaccinations, their names and timings, nutrition of pregnant and breast-feeding women, and children's complementary feeding. That's to be added to explaining some of the medical services provided by the Ministry, and introducing attendees with medical developments, and the paradigm shift undergone by the Kingdom in the domain of health services over the past years.
Furthermore, the MOH Pavilion will be elucidating the development of Saudi health services, and enumerating the projects currently underway, by means of models, photos and documentaries, in addition to organizing a health-awareness competition for visitors, and distributing awards on winners.
Within the same vein, the MOH Pavilion, through the obesity clinic annexed to it, has paid close attention to obese persons, by providing the basic information, and measuring height, weight, biomarkers and body mass index (BMI), in an effort to prescribe a free, healthy diet for each of them, in cooperation with one of the governmental hospitals. The clinic, in so doing, seeks to help them lose weight. All frequenters receive proper care, especially those of them who are obese (about 30% of all frequenters). On entering the clinic, the visitor or frequenter is examined, and get his weight measured, depending on which an integrated report on his case is prepared. He is then given a note referring him to Imam Abdulrahman al-Faisal Hospital, to pay a visit within a week, where he gets a healthy six-month diet, and frequent to the hospital monthly for follow-up.
Over the past days, the clinic was visited by some 1500 frequenters, out of whom 30 per cent were suffering from obesity, whereas 35 per cent of frequenters had overweight, and 25 per cent were slightly overweighed, and 30 per cent have moderate weight. The clinic cares for those with thinness as well.
It is worth mentioning the nutrition section has witnessed significant turn-out. The number of yesterday's visitors mounted to over 300, who received health-awareness services by the section's specialists. They were also introduced with the nature of obesity, its causes, complications, risks, and how to avoid it. That's to be added to general dietary tips on how to have health food on the course of the day, from breakfast to supper. Moreover, specialists of the section measure visitors' height and weight, and provide them with the basic information commensurate with the result of the primordial examination, as well as directing them towards the right dietary approach to adopt, and familiarizing them with the complications that might occur in case of negligence of the healthy diet that would help them lose weight.

Paris Hilton Wishes Ex-Fiance the Best While Looking for Her Happy Ending
WENN/Judy Eddy
Breaking her silence on her split from Chris Zylka, the reality star calls their relationship a 'whirlwind romance' and admits moving forward with the marriage 'wasn't the right decision.'
AceShowbiz - Paris Hilton is still hopeful she will get her "happy ending" after splitting from her latest fiance, Chris Zylka.
Earlier this month, it was reported the couple had parted ways and now Paris has confirmed she is single again.
"I'm doing really good, I'm just really having my me time," she told U.S. chat show "The Talk" on Wednesday, November 28.
The reality star and DJ did not reveal the reason behind her latest breakup, but she explained she realised just in time it was not the right decision to move forward with the marriage and become Mrs. Zylka.
"I just feel that when I fall in love, I fall in love fast and hard and it was this whirlwind romance and I've always been obsessed with Disney stories and love stories and I thought it was going to be my happy ending and I just realised after time that it wasn't the right decision," she continued.
However, she is still open to finding love.
"I wish him the best and one day I would love to get married and have children, but for right now I'm just focusing on myself and my work," she said.

Chris proposed to Paris at the end of 2017 during a New Year's vacation in Aspen, Colorado. The hotel heiress recently clarified reports suggesting she had pushed back her November nuptials, insisting the couple had never actually secured a date because they were too busy to wed this year.

Florida Georgia Line Dishes On Rapper Nelly's Country Roots
posted by Lauryn Snapp - Sep 11, 2019
Country superstars Florida Georgia Line hosted their first-ever 'FGL Fest' on September 7th at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The duo has been trekking across the U.S.A. on their 'Can't Say I Ain't Country Tour,' and felt it was time to host their own music festival.
FGL is known for bridging musical genres on and off the stage, so who better to join them onstage than "Country Grammar" rapper Nelly?
But how "Country" is Nelly? Cody Alan got the answer.
FGL's Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley shared that Nelly is incredibly down to earth.
"When you talk to him, man, he says, "I'm a country boy." That's what he says that all of the time," shares Tyler. "We always laugh and say, "man we feel you."
"Nelly. He is just a family guy. He loves his people, the people around him. He does what he wants, in a way, and he is very independent. He is a visionary and an inspiration to us," Tyler continued.
With the addition of 'Round Here Records,' there was speculation that FGL would be producing Nelly's next E.P. However, Tyler took the time to set the record straight. "Man that was just a dirty rumor running around town, but we probably would. You never know. We will see what happens."
While we wait for a FGL produced rap album, Florida Georgia Line has confirmed that a new album is on the way. 'The Acoustic Sessions' will be available on October 18th and features the country duo's biggest hit songs from their studio albums in acoustic form.
"Time flies, man. It's cool to go down memory lane and relive these songs in a whole different way," Brian Kelley tells Cody. "We get to bring it back to the basics of me and Tyler writing songs on the back of his tailgate with two acoustic guitars."
"It's a blessing to put out and relive. It's a big sing-along," says BK.
Florida Georgia Line's 'The Acoustic Sessions' Track Listing:
"Cruise"
"Round Here"
"Get Your Shine On"
"This Is How We Roll" (feat. Luke Bryan)
"Sippin' on Fire"
"Sun Daze"
"Dirt"
"Anything Goes"
"Confession"
"H.O.L.Y."
"May We All" (feat. Tim McGraw)
"God, Your Mama, and Me" (feat. Backstreet Boys)
"Simple"
"Talk You Out of It"
"Meant to Be" (feat. Bebe Rexha)
Start your engines and gear up to watch CMT's Hot 20 Countdown on Sept. 14 and Sept. 15 to see Cody Alan and full coverage of Florida Georgia Line's 'FGL Fest.' It all happens on CMT at 9a/8c.

Modern retail expansion in Kenya remains below 25%, with neighbourhood kiosks, market stalls and independent small grocers having a wider footprint. Over the review period, modern grocery retailers fiercely competed for strategic locations and customers as disposable incomes rose. Traditional retailing outlets, mainly kiosks, grew exponentially as well as urbanisation levels grew, with residential areas expanding in the outskirts of urban cities, promoting value and volume growth in butter and margarine in 2017.
New Kenya Co-operative Creameries Ltd led butter and margarine with a value share of 14% in 2017. The company's KCC butter remained popular among Kenyan consumers due to its affordability as well as long-term presence in the market.
Rising disposable incomes, growing levels of urbanisation and the increased penetration of modern retail channels will be instrumental in promoting growth in butter and margarine value and volume sales in Kenya over 2017-2022. As a result, a value CAGR of 2% at constant 2017 prices is predicted over the forecast period.
