This piece of malware is actually pretty clever. It changes settings on your computer that will cause it to use rogue Internet servers to access Internet sites. The FBI shut down the rogue servers, but not before millions of computers were infected worldwide.

Your own computer(s) may not be infected. It’s likely that an infected computer would appear to function normally but it will stop connecting to the Internet when the FBI stops running it’s own servers as temporary backups until public computers have their settings restored. You may also have or be able to get information from your home Internet Service Provider (ISP) about this issue.

Going to this website can tell you (with some possibility for error) if your computer is infected with this virus.

The announcement that President Barack Obama has nominated Dartmouth College president Dr. Kim to head the World Bank came to us today coordinated with national and international press releases. “The nomination of Dr. Kim, who helped found Partners in Health and directed the World Health Organization’s department of H.I.V./AIDS, would recognize the importance of health issues in global development, elevating them to parity with finance. His work has emphasized bringing effective medicine to the poor.”

While this nomination may be a surprising one, for a physician to head an international financial institution, the choice is stellar in terms of recognizing Dr. Kim’s experience and leadership, and the importance of health and health care in international development.

Now why did I buy a new snowblower? It sure was not just to have a photo op. Where is the snow this year?

The usual springtime primary election happens before winter has hit. New Hampshire moved the primary election up as far as it could to maintain first-in-the-nation  election status this year. First of the first were the nine residents of Dixville Notch

In Italy I learned to drink the oil

Could he imagine
this is how I would remember him?
