“Here You Have” Virus Email

0 comments
There’s a new virus email that appears in your inbox with the subject field saying “Here you have”.  It seems it has appeared in the email accounts of multiple people since it became a highly searched item on the Web!
Well, as you may have guessed, this is nothing but an email virus, so the best course of action is to avoid opening it and just delete it.  Do the same with future emails with the same subject line. It has been known that the body of the message reads:
“Hello: This is The Document I told you about, you can find it Here.http://www.sharedocuments.com/.”
If you opened the message, chances are you are already infected, so it would be a good idea to use up-to-date antivirus software to deal with the infection. You could also try some free malware removal programs that might help you trace worms, Trojans, or other kind of computer viruses.

Sarah Shourd to Be Released

0 comments
Iranian officials have confirmed ABC News that Sarah Shourd will be released, after being imprisoned in Iran for over a year.  According to the network, the information given didn’t give a specific date but said that it was going to happen “very soon”. As you may remember Shourd is one of the three hikers that were detained.

A text message sent to journalists by an Iranian official early in the day, announced the news:
“Offering congratulations on Eid al-Fitr. The release of one of the detained Americans will be at Saturday, 9 a.m. at the Estaghlal hotel.”
Back in May, we received news from Sarah Shourd, saying that she was suffering from depression and also had a health problem. A spokesman for the family confirmed this information and detailed that Shourd has found a lump in her breast, though it was not known if this was cancer.
“We have seen the news reports and are urgently seeking further information,” the hikers’ mothers said in a statement posted on Facebook “We hope and pray that the reports are true and that this signals the end of all three of our children’s long and difficult detention. Shane, Sarah and Josh are all innocent and we continue to call for their immediate release, so that they can return home together and be reunited with our families.”

reggie bush scandal

0 comments
As predicted in this space what's called The Reggie Bush Scandal is now number one on Google Trends (boy, this blogger's good).

If you're not familiar with what went down (a little term to annoy PB), briefly, Reggie Bush was accused of taking gifts and receiving benefits in conjunction with his role as a running back at USC. He won The Heisman Trophy in 2005.

Now, after its own investigation, separate from the NCAA look, The Heisman Trust has, for the first time in history, asked for its trophy to be returned.

Now, everyone from The LA Times micro-blog on Bush (just to be in on Google Trends, nothing more) to Babble's Famecrawler has something to say about this.

Everyone except you, that is.

If you were Reggie Bush, what would you do in response to the news that The Heisman Trust had asked for your hard-earned Heisman Trophy back? Consider, the Heisman's own investigation said Bush received gifts and benefits. But none of them impacted his on-the-field performance that won him the 2005 Heisman.

This blogger says Bush should appeal the decision. Too many college football players are used for revenue-generation, then forgotten. Bush should take a stand. But that's me.

What say you?

The Saints Drew Brees is a Winner

0 comments
At the Saints vs Vikings season opener, The Saints came back to win their first game of the season 14 to the Vikings 9. The team was triumphant with their Quarterback Drew Brees leading the battle. And Drew Brees, although not a native son of New Orleans, has been adopted by the city that he loves and has made his home.

One of the most iconic images of their outstanding Superbowl 2010 win was Drew- with tears in his eyes – holding up his one-year-old son Baylon. His son, oblivious to the the meaning of the moment, was far more interested in the snowflake like confetti that fell from the sky.

Drew talked to Matt Lauer on the Today show about that special moment in time saying one that he’s looking forward with sharing with his son when he’s older. He said he’d share with him that is “was such a special moment having him in may arms, having just a difference he made in my life.” This is when we all say “awwww,” followed by a round of Who Dat!

Shana Tova Postcards

Shana Tova Postcardsby Claudine Zap The celebration of the Jewish New Year begins sundown Wednesday. And the average scores of people are moving to the Web for information on holiday. Keep in mind’re scholars not Jewish, but we are Buzz-gists. Here, an overview of the most common questions about the party on Yahoo!. What is Rosh Hashanah? No fireworks or party hats, but the beginning of high DaysI’ve St. graphics Done this before, but a few jokes, they never get old. Have a sweet and peaceful year new people.

The booklet that you eat with a postcard attached and instructions: “Detach this greeting card, write a message on the move, stick on a stamp and send to your friends.” I found the last two steps particularly amusing. Apparently people do not know how to do this as the post office has designed a series of five postcards inspired by the era of good old-mail. (Examples of classical Israelity previous reviews can be found here and here). They are available for purchase at post offices and agencies in Israel online or on their Web sites in Hebrew and Spanish. Each contains a different year New hello. For exampleMay you be inscribed and sealed for a good new year.

Two Asteroids to Pass Nearer to Earth Than the Moon on Wednesday

0 comments
(Sept. 7) -- They're coming our way ... both of them! Two asteroids will narrowly miss colliding with Earth on Wednesday, according to NASA. Fortunately, neither is very big, nor are they expected to do much more than provide skywatchers with a brief, breathtaking sight before they continue their voyage into the oblivion. Unlike, say, the two giant asteroid strikes that actually hit Earth and wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.

Here's the Surge Desk rundown of when to look, where to look from and what to look for:

ASTEROID 1: 2010 RX30
Size: Between 32 and 65 feet
When to look: 5:51 a.m. EDT
Best vantage point: North Pacific, south of Japan
Distance from the Earth at closest approach: Just 154,100 miles away from the Earth (the moon, by contrast, is approximately 225,622 miles away at its closest point of orbit).

ASTEROID 2: 2010 RX12
Size: Between 19 and 45 feet
When to look: 5:12 p.m. EDT
Best vantage point: Antarctica
Distance from the Earth at closest approach: An even-closer shave, at 49,088 miles.

Now, obviously most viewers aren't going to be making the trek out to Antarctica or the North Pacific, but NASA assures that "both objects should be observable near closest approach with moderate-sized amateur telescopes."

An interesting and potentially worrisome bit of background on why this near-Earth asteroid situation hasn't gotten more play in the press before now. As NASA explains:

    The Catalina Sky Survey near Tucson Arizona discovered both objects on the morning of September 5 during their routine monitoring of the skies. The Minor Planet Center in Cambridge Massachusetts first received the observations Sunday morning, determined preliminary orbits and concluded that both objects would pass within the distance of the Moon about three days after their discovery.

Also curiously, NASA was unable (or unwilling) to tell Surge Desk just where in the sky prospective viewers should look. Hopefully, as the time draws closer, the agency will get more specific through either its Asteroid Watch website or its Twitter account. But no matter what, as Space.com points out, "Because of the asteroids' movement, finding and tracking them across the sky will be a challenge for seasoned skywatchers." So, happy hunting!

Truthfully, the seemingly glaring lack of asteroid awareness comes at an opportune time, underscoring a recent warning from American and Canadian astronauts that Earth needs to be more vigilant in its asteroid-monitoring endeavors.

One proposal that seems to be gaining ground within the scientific community: the ATLAS initiative, or the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System, which would rely on a combination of large, high-quality digital cameras, small telescopes and high-speed computers, all installed at small research universities around the world. The cost of launching the program, which would require at least two sites to start, is estimated to be $2 million, relatively cheap as far as space-oriented technologies go. And far cheaper than the alternative, as the following video demonstration might suggest:
