Nomination Dispute on Oscar Doc Short POSTER GIRL Ignites Divisive Fight at the Academy

For most of the world, the press release sent out by the Academy one week ago today seemed simple and direct.  Headed "Oscar Credits Determined for Documentary Short Subjects", the release was only somewhat notable in that it announced the first Oscar nomination for Mitchell Block, a veteran player and somewhat controversial figure in the documentary world, for the short film POSTER GIRL, which was directed by Sara Nesson.
But what seemed simple on the outside masked an fierce dispute within the Academy's Documentary Branch.  Two different committees had ruled that Block had not done enough work on the film to qualify for an Oscar nod, but those decisions were overturned by a four-person review committee that represented the Academy's Board of Governors.  How and why the decision went to the four-person committee is at the crux of the conflict.
Perhaps none of this would be known outside of the Academy if Freida Lee Mock, the Oscar winning filmmaker and former Doc Branch Governor, had not emailed some of the details to Roger Ebert, who last Friday wrote about the dispute and then quickly deleted the blog post, reportedly after hearing from Movie City News' David Poland.  By late Friday afternoon, all that remained was Poland's own post, which was sympathetic to Block and critical of Mock, but which remained somewhat vague as to what actually happened.
While Poland suggested that the situation was a smear job against Block, conversations with a number of Academy members over the weekend reveal a much more complicated - and a far more divisive - battle than has been publicly made known.  And while the heart of the dispute rests with the Academy's real desire to limit inappropriate producer credits, it's set against a backdrop of a series of personal grudges that date back to the late 1980s.

At its essence, the POSTER GIRL fight begins with an Academy-wide effort to confirm that the producer who is nominated is the person who actually does the work of a day-to-day producer, primarily responsible for overseeing the whole filmmaking process.
It's an open secret that producer credits are handed out indiscriminately in film, so over the past few years the Academy has worked, in partnership with the Producers Guild, to strengthen the rule and to make sure nominations aren't given to money men (or women), distributors and the like.
This is true even (and maybe especially) in the documentary branch, where only two people may receive nominations for a film (as compared to three people in the Best Picture category).  In addition to other controversies that mark the last few decades of the branch, there's a history of nominees (and even winners) who were not the true producer of record, and this recent effort is an attempt to rectify that.
In conversations with Academy members, several pointed to Michael Donovan, who shared the Documentary Feature Oscar with Michael Moore on BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE, as one such example.  All agree that Donovan was the financier on the film, with two stating that the true producer on the film was Moore's wife, Kathleen Glynn (others suggested this was not the case).  Another mentioned the double wins in the 1990s by Rabbi Marvin Hier of the Simon Wiesenthal Center as an example of an Oscar winner who didn't take on the true tasks of a real day-to-day producer.
Nearly all noted an intense, behind-the-scenes discussion last year as to who should be the second nominee on Louie Psihoyos' THE COVE - Paula dePre Pesman, who had overseen the entire production, or Fisher Stevens, who helped shape the film into its final form during post-production.  Many felt that Pesman should be the nominee, but Stevens was ultimately named as such by the Academy (and he eventually won).  One Academy member called this particular decision a "Sophie's choice" caused by AMPAS rules that allow only one award be given to a documentary film's producer.
Several people who have been nominees in the past few years described a thorough vetting process, with one equating it to a cross-examination, although most seemed to take it in stride.  One veteran player in the documentary world told me that the vetting process was even more stringent at the Primetime Emmys.
None the Academy members I spoke to were willing to speak for attribution and many would only confirm details that I'd heard from other sources.
This year, the Producers Guild told the Academy that they couldn't handle doing the vetting on the documentary short films, which turned the process over to an internal committee of documentary branch members, of which Freida Lee Mock was reportedly a member.  It was the first time that an internal documentary branch committee had overseen the vetting process since the Academy stepped up regulation of producer credits a few years ago.
In the case of POSTER GIRL, the filmmakers filled out their paperwork asserting that Sara Nesson and Mitchell Block should be that film's potential nominees.  And while Oscar procedures now allow for anonymous complaints about who should be nominated, all of the Academy members I spoke to said that there were no complaints from anyone connected with POSTER GIRL regarding Block's potential nomination.
But the history of POSTER GIRL paints a more complicated path to its inception, one that was sure to raise eyebrows of the documentary branch.

Penguins Re-Acquire Forward Alexei Kovalev
The Penguins acquired Kovalev in a trade with the New York Rangers in 1998, with Petr Nedved being the principle piece traded the other way.  From then until 2003 Kovalev skated 345 games with Pittsburgh, putting up 347 points (149 goals, 198 assists).  In 2003, with the team plunging into economic turmoil, the Pens had to trade Kovalev back to the Rangers, with this time the principle piece being $5 million dollars coming back to Pittsburgh.

Since leaving Pittsburgh, Kovalev's reputation has taken several hits.  New York traded him to Montreal in '04, tired of his inconsistent play.  His time in Montreal would be a roller coaster of good times (like when he scored 84 points in '07-08) and bad points, again plagued by a lack of team mentality and run-ins with the Montreal media.  Then Kovalev jumped ship to Ottawa in the summer of '09, where he was mostly a bust.

This is the final year of his $5 million contract, and ironically, Pittsburgh is now one of the few contending teams that can afford him under the salary cap and was obviously willing to have him.

To acquire Kovalev at a pittance of a seventh round pick shows there was no market for him, no other bidders.  Ottawa was happy just to get something for him and clear him off the books as they move to rebuild.
What does it mean for Pittsburgh?  We told you here it wasn't crazy for the Pens to consider it, Kovalev is one of the few vets with skill that wouldn't cost a heavy price on the trade market.
Will he fit the Penguins style?  Pittsburgh wingers are notorious for being low on skill and high on work ethic/positioning and "buying in" to the team concept.  Alexei Kovalev is a polar opposite.  No one knows if he will fit on this team, but even if it doesn't work, surely he'll be benched much like Alexei Ponikarovsky, Miroslav Satan and Petr Sykora have been in recent years.  That didn't hurt team morale or cause any problems and neither will this move.

Acquiring Alex Kovalev for a 7th round pick is a low-to-no risk move with a potentially nice return.  He's not a 80-90 point guy anymore, but he can add some desperately needed skill, especially when you look at who the team has had to resort to playing on the power play lately.

space shuttle launch

Discovery's final countdown: Space shuttle launch signals NASA transition
After 27 years and more than 143 million miles, the space shuttle Discovery is poised for her final countdown.
The orbiter and its crew of six astronauts are scheduled to lift off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 4:50 p.m. local time – with a packed cargo bay.

The ship is carrying an Italian-built cargo carrier re-engineered to provide extra storage space on the International Space Station. In addition, the orbiter is lofting some 5 tons of supplies and Robonaut 2, which designers envision as an eventual humanoid helpmate for future space-station crews.

Discovery's launch marks the first of three curtain calls – one for each of the remaining vessels in the shuttle fleet – as NASA's human spaceflight program enters a period of profound transition.

Final shuttle launch for Discovery: Was shuttle program worth it?

NASA is handing off the responsibility of ferrying goods and US astronauts to and from the station to private launch companies.

NASA can then focus on preparing to send human explorers beyond the space station's confines in low-Earth orbit, possibly to asteroids, the moon, and Mars.

Such missions, however, likely would be launched in the 2020s, depending on how agreeable successive administrations are to the current blueprint.
Discovery's last launch

As with the end of any long-running production, the cast and support crew behind Discovery's launch are finding this a bittersweet moment.

"She's been an amazing machine; she's done everything we've asked of her," says Michael Leinbach, the shuttle launch director.

For now, the entire team is focused on successfully completing the mission, he says.

But "landing day is going to be tough," he added during a prelaunch briefing Wednesday. "You'll see a lot of people on the runway who will probably choke up some."

Between launch and landing, however, a packed schedule remains. In addition to Robonaut 2, the orbiter is packing what missions payload manager Scott Higgenbotham calls "one big honkin' radiator," to remain at the space station as a spare, should one of the existing radiators – which shed excess heat from the station's interior – fail.

The radiator is bolted to a platform, which astronauts will attach to the outside of the station to serve as storage space for the additional spare parts slated to arrive during the final two missions.
Discovery's false starts

This launch originally was scheduled for early November. But as controllers filled the shuttle's bullet-shaped external fuel tank with liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, they detected a hydrogen leak that forced them to scrub the launch.

When technicians returned to the pad after the fuel had been removed to inspect the tank, they found cracks in key structural supports, or stringers, on the tank's outer shell.

Mission managers opted to roll the orbiter back to the cavernous Vehicle Assembly Building, where they discovered more cracked stringers.

Repairs went smoothly, but mission managers continued to postpone the launch until they were convinced both that they understood the reasons for the stringer cracks and that the repairs had addressed that problem.

Investigators traced the problem to stringers that were strong enough to handle the stress that fueling imparts to the empty tank, but not strong enough to handle that stress when coupled with stress unexpectedly added during construction.

Now, "the hardware is ready to fly," says Michael Moses, who heads the shuttle's mission managements team.

As for weather, "We've had some really great weather coming all the way up to launch," says Kathy Winters, shuttle weather officer. Some isolated showers may pop up during the afternoon close enough to the launch site to warrant yet another postponement. But she gives that a 20-percent chance of happening.

Her bumper-sticker forecast? "Good payload, good launch," she says.

Final shuttle launch for Discovery: Was shuttle program worth it?

lincoln tunnel accident

 lincoln tunnel accident
Over 30 people were hurt in this morning’s crash in the Lincoln Tunnel.

There was a terrible accident this morning in New York City’s Lincoln Tunnel that involved a motorcyclist and three buses. It occurred at about 7:27 a.m., nearly three-quarters of the way toward Manhattan in the tunnel that connects New Jersey and New York City.

The motorcyclist is said to be the most severely injured as he was trapped under a bus and is currently listed in critical condition. At least 30 other injuries have been reported concerning people who were on the buses. NJ Transit operated two of the buses and a Monsey Tours was the third bus involved.

As one would expect, traffic was disrupted and the morning commute was still going on at noon. Luckily there have been no reported deaths.

What disturbed me upon hearing this news all over the television programs today was the complete lack of empathy for the people actually involved in the crash. There was about a five-second spot saying over 30 were injured and the motorcyclist was in critical condition and then the coverage went straight to the traffic tie-ups and wasted two minutes interviewing people stranded in their cars. Most complained how they were sick of being in traffic, how they were late for work, how they had been inconvenienced. Not one commented on the accident itself or the people involved in it.

This is nothing new. Just look at the next time television news covers accidents, even fatal ones. They invariably mention the accident and then go straight to the people in traffic.

Don’t get me wrong, I understand the frustration of the people sitting in traffic for hours, but the way TV tends to tell the story places such a selfish view. It almost dismisses the injured parties. I understand that the news has to appeal to everyone, attract viewers, and also let their audience know about disruptions, but that can surely be a follow-up story outlining service disruptions, after reporting the accident itself. I don’t think we need to hear how irritated the people in traffic are at being held-up.

I remember one time watching another accident report a few months ago, when the newscaster asked an older man sitting in traffic how angry he was about being stuck. The man replied that he was surely better off than the people who were hurt and he hoped they would all be OK.

That was a considerate thought. No one likes to get stuck in traffic obviously. We try to teach our kids everyday to be considerate, to help others, and not to always think about themselves first, yet everyday we see examples of adults doing the opposite. This is just another thing to add to the list. I know it’s not a big thing and some of the newscasters probably aren’t even aware that they are doing it, and have no ill will, but it’s something that I find absurd.

Traffic is said to be easing up now and hopefully all the people who were hurt are recovering. While none of the thirty bus injuries were thought to be life-threatening, the motorcyclist was the most severely injured and could definitely use a few good wishes and prayers

Slow Down Read Carefully about Joshua Bell

Temperature swings 100 degrees in one week in Okla. town

Residents in the Northern Oklahoma town of Nowata experienced a nearly 110-degree shift in the weather this week after a cold front brought temperatures down to a record-setting -31 degrees.

Today, it's a balmy 72 degrees in Nowata. Yesterday, it reached 79 degrees.

"Isn't it crazy? I love it," Nowata resident Julie Koupe told local channel News on 6.

On Feb. 10, it was slightly colder in the region than it was on the South Pole, notes Tulsa World writer Cary Aspinall. More than 3,000 Nowata homes lost power and residents spent the next few days digging their cars and homes out of the snow. There was so much snow in Tulsa last week that city officials began debating provisional plans to truck it out of town.

On Thursday, the 79 degree weather tied for the warmest Feb. 17 since 1907.

Climate scientists note that extreme swings in weather are associated with the gradual warming of the earth's climate. And the Oklahoma Climatological Survey has verified that the state's average temperature readings have been trending upward, with some year-to-year variations, since the late 1980s. You can read the survey's findings and recommendations here (pdf).


But broader climate trends notwithstanding, Oklahoma has long been known for its unpredictable weather. The local saying (attributed to Will Rogers) goes, "If you don't like the weather in Oklahoma, wait five minutes." This time, Oklahomans had to wait a week.

How to Make the Best Vodka Martini

How to make the perfect Vodka martini!
Let's face it....even the most highly rated vodka, when served and imbibed at room temperature, leaves a lot to be desired. Vodka is made to be enjoyed in a chilled state - and not necessarily "on the rocks", but down-right, wicked COLD!
The secret to a truly enjoyable and refreshing martini is using totally chilled ingredients. To do this, keep your favorite brand of vodka in the freezer, and you'll always be ready to make the perfect martini! I prefer Sobieski - rated right up there with the more expensive brands, but Skyy, Tanqueray, and Vikingfjord are all somewhat similar and well-suited . The best rule of thumb - drink what you like, and like what you drink!
Vermouth is optional, but if this is your preference for your drink, be sure to use a smooth-tasting brand. Again - drink what you like, and like what you drink.

1. Fill martini glass with ice (or place in freezer for several minutes).
   
2. Remove glass from freezer, empty ice.
   
3. Pour vermouth into martini glass.
   
4. Pour vodka into martini glass.
   
5. Choose a garnish and place inside martini glass.
   
6. Serve, kick-back, and enjoy immediately!

RIP Justin Bieber Character On CSI Shot To Death

RIP Justin Bieber Character On CSI Shot To Death

On Thursday night, the CBS show "CSI" decided to put an end to the character Jason McCann (Justin Bieber). Bieber appeared on CSI once before, but it appears he will not be making a return to this hit TV show since his character is now officially dead. Hollywood insiders first thought that CSI would bring an end to Justin Bieber's character by having him blow himself up - but in the end it was a regular CSI cast member who was forced to kill him. I know many of you think that Justin Bieber is the best thing since sliced bread, but I do not share in those sentiments. To me, Bieber is just a created teen idol for a world filled with teenage girls who need someone famous to love.

How to Look Like Angelina Jolie

How to Look Like Angelina Jolie

Be confident in yourself and comfortable in your body. Angelina exudes confidence and she changes her style to suit herself and not what others want her to look like. Past styles include a gothic look with black hair and currently she has a more classic style and is often is seen in suits. She proudly displays her many tattoos, all markers of important things at different times in her life.

Have an active sex life. Angelina Jolie is not only known for being a sexual person, she has been extremely open about her sex life throughout the years. You might not have Brad Pitt, but you can enjoy the sex life you have with your partner by getting hot and heavy as often as possible for that Angelina Jolie glow.

Plump up your lips. Angelina Jolie's plump lips are one of her most obvious and attractive features. If you were not naturally blessed as she was, you can purchase one of the many lip plumping products such as Too Faced Lip Injection. Many makeup lines now offer lipsticks and gloss to enhance the fullness of your lips.

Tone down the make-up. Angelina's skin is usually slightly tanned and her hair almost always a dark brown these days. To go with this she wears mostly light brown shades on her eyelids, almost always has mascara on and uses a slightly darker lipstick with peach tones on her cheeks. Keep your hair long and dark as well to help you obtain her look.

 Wear clothing that suits your body type and personality. When walking the red carpet these days Angelina is often seen in attractive colors that don't stand out too much. Often when with her family she is pictured in jeans and a fitted shirt. She also accentuates her long body by showing her curves in outfits that show her silhouette and keeps jewelry simple with gold chains or hoop earrings.

Workout as often and eat as healthy as you can. Angelina will workout more for a role (such as Tomb Raider), but in her off time she works her body lifting weights and doing cardiovascular activity such as kickboxing. She even trained with weapons for her role as Lara Croft, although these days she gets most of her workout carrying and running after her children. Not known for following any particular diet since she is naturally thin as Angelina includes many fruits and vegetables into her family's diet.

How Did Michael Jackson's Skin Turn White

Michael Jackson's skin turned white as a result of the common pigment losing skin disease, vitiligo, also known as leucoderma.

There are many myths surrounding the color change of Michael Jackson in the early 90s. He was widely chastised in the media for ‘turning his back on his African ancestry’. He was accused of bleaching his skin in an attempt to ‘look white’.
When the slanderous attacks became intolerable, in 1993, Michael Jackson revealed, during an Oprah show, that he had a skin disease that turned his skin white. In 1994, Michael Jackson’s dermatologist Dr.Arnold Klein testified that MJ was diagnosed with vitiligo and lupus in 1984. Though lupus erythematosus is a potentially lethal disease, luckily it was in remission in Michael. Both discoid lupus erythematosus and vitiligo can produce loss of pigmentation in the skin.

What is Vitiligo?

Vitiligo is a common skin disorder that affects 1 in 250 people world over. Half of the cases start between the ages of 10 to 30 years. Genetics plays a role in vitiligo and there is a family history of vitiligo in about 30% of patients, as in the case of Michael Jackson. Vitiligo runs in his family.

How Michael Jackson Turned White

When there were more white patches than his normal skin color and the daily chore of hours of makeup became cumbersome, MJ was given the choice of depigmenting his skin so that the color would even out. The bleaching or depigmentation of the skin was carried out under the supervision of his dermatologist. 20% monobenzylether of hydroquinone was used for this purpose. This chemical causes a permanent and irreversible loss of skin pigment and produces a chalk-white color.
The absence of the melanin pigment makes the skin more prone for sun burns, hence Michael Jackson had to wear long sleeves and hat, and, at times, cover his face when he went outdoors.

Michael Jackson's Loss of Skin Color: The Trials and Tribulations

The ghostly white color and the plastic surgeries carried out to correct an accident injury (complications of lupus also contributing?) drastically changed Michael Jackson’s features and appearance. This was when the racist slanders flooded against him in the media about how he was forgetting his roots and turning his back on his African ancestry.
On February 10, 1993 Michael Jackson revealed on the Oprah show that his skin had turned white due to vitiligo and he had to depigment the skin to even out his skin color. He dismissed the allegations that he had bleached his skin to ‘become white’.
“I’m a black American, I am proud to be a black American, I am proud of my race. I am proud of who I am. I have a lot of pride and dignity,” were his words. This did put some brake on the racist attacks on him, but unfortunately there are still many people out there who refuse to accept that Michael Jackson turned white due to the skin disease vitiligo.

How was taj mahal built

Fact of the Taj Mahal – Construction Feats

Experience the Taj Mahal India with India Travel Luxury and The Elite Collection
Enjoy the wonder of the Taj Mahal India with The India Tours Boutique Collection
Facts of the Taj Mahal and its construction commence with the way the land was acquired for its construction to the south of the walled city of Agra. The site chosen by Shah Jahan for the resting place of his beloved wife had belonged to Maharajah Jai Singh. Shah Jahan presented him with a large palace in the centre of Agra in exchange for the site for his Taj Mahal.
An area of roughly three acres for the foundations was excavated and filled with dirt to reduce seepage from the river. The entire site was levelled to a fixed height about 50 m above the riverbank. The Taj Mahal is 180 feet tall. The dome itself measures 60 feet in diameter and 80 feet high.
In the tomb area, wells were then dug down until water was encountered. These wells were later filled with stone and rubble, forming the basis for the footings of the tomb. An additional well was built to same depth nearby to provide a visual method to track water level changes over time.
Instead of lashed bamboo, the typical scaffolding method, workmen constructed a colossal brick scaffold that mirrored the inner and outer surfaces of the tomb. The scaffold was so enormous that foremen estimated it would take years to dismantle.
According to legend, Shah Jahan decreed that anyone could keep bricks taken from the scaffold, and it was dismantled by peasants overnight.
The Taj Mahal construction facts reveal that a 15-kilometre tamped-earth ramp was built to transport marble and materials from Agra to the construction site. According to contemporary accounts teams of twenty or thirty oxen strained to pull the blocks on specially constructed wagons.
To raise the blocks into position required an elaborate post-and-beam pulley system. Teams of mules and oxen provided the lifting power. The order of construction was:
The plinth. The tomb. The four minarets. The mosque and jawab. The gateway.
The plinth and tomb took roughly 12 years to complete. The remaining parts of the complex took an additional 10 years. (Since the complex was built in stages, contemporary historical accounts list different "completion dates"; discrepancies between so-called completion dates are probably the result of differing opinions about the definition of "completion". For example, the mausoleum itself was essentially complete by 1643, but work continued on the rest of the complex.
Fact of the Taj Mahal – the Water Engineering Feat Water for the Taj Mahal was provided through a complex infrastructure. Water was drawn from the river by a series of purs, an animal-powered rope and bucket mechanism. The water flowed into a large storage tank, where, by thirteen additional purs, it was raised to large distribution tank above the Taj Mahal ground level.
From this distribution tank, water passed into three subsidiary tanks, from which it was piped to the complex. An earthenware pipe 25cm in diameter lies about 1.5 m below the surface, and in line with the main walkway. This filled the main pools of the complex. Additional copper pipes supplied the fountains in the north-south canal. Subsidiary channels were dug to irrigate the entire garden.
The fountain pipes were not connected directly to the feed pipes. Instead, a copper pot was provided under each fountain pipe: water filled the pots allowing equal pressure in each fountain – another fascinating construction fact of the Taj Mahal.

10 Ways to Make People Read Your Blog

There are many advantages of running a blog, on top of your business website. A blog is an online diary, whereby you can easily posts clips about yourself, your thoughts and your personal life. If you publish a business blog, you posts good content, articles, breaking news or just about anything to build awareness of what you are selling.

Publishing a business blog gives your subscriber or prospect a chance to get to know you better. Through your blog, you can explain how your life has changed due to the product or service that you are selling. A blog can also be highly interactive if you also allow comments and for all to see. For sure, blogging provides a good avenue to establish some level of trust and security for an online prospect who has never met you.

Here are top 10 ways to get people to read your business blog:

1. Have a general theme and state this theme at the top or in a prominent location in your blog. Creating a general theme helps attract a group of targeted readers. However, do strike a balance. You don’t also want too narrow a theme. Otherwise, you may find yourself having difficulty finding new things to talk about in your blog every few days.

2. Be current in what you post. Don’t report about events that happen one year ago. You can refer to the particular event if relevant and/or via a link. For these past events, assume that people already know about them.

3. Keep a regular schedule. When readers return to your blog, they want to read about something new. Be sure to manage your readers’ expectations.

4. Post frequently. Search engine spiders love sites that are constantly updated with fresh content. At the very least, posting once every few days is a good idea.

5. Keep your posts short and clear. Don’t post long essays. Blog readers are known to like to zip in and out of online diaries. Keep your long essays to articles that you can publish on a separate webpage or in your newsletter.

6. Make your tittle keyword-rich. This helps in getting your posts better ranked by search engine spiders via the keywords that you use.

7. Post interesting content. No one is going to be interested in what you ate for breakfast. Not unless you are maintaining a food blog and you want to post your breakfast recipe!
Making your content interesting will ensure that your readers continue to read your blog loyally.

8. Have a unique perspective. Readers are interested to know what you think. If you are offering your opinion, be sure that you are able to qualify them.

9. Take note of your language and grammer. Even if you are posting an opinion. It is always safer to write in proper English if you are hoping to monetize from your blog.

10. Don’t forget to have a RSS feed. RSS means “Rich Site Syndication”. To increase readership and distribution, this is one thing that you must not omit in doing.

Facebook Virus:How to Remove the Koobface Facebook Virus

1. WHAT IS IT: The Facebook virus, Koobface, is a worm that replicates through social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace. It first made an appearance back in August, and has shown a resurgence in early December. It arrives in the form of a message from one of your Facebook friends, containing a link to a video with a message encouraging you to download it. Reports of messages linking to the Koobface virus include the following:
• Paris Hilton Tosses Dwarf On The Street
• Examiners Caught Downloading Grades From The Internet
• You must see it!!! LOL.
• My friend catched you on hidden cam
• Is it really celebrity?
• Funny Moments
• You look so amazing funny on our new video
If you click on the link to the video, you will be taken to a remote site that sometimes mimics YouTube's format. You will then get a message that you must install a plugin which is sometimes called "video codec" and sometimes indicates that you need to install an updated Flash player. When you install the plug-in, you're actually installing the Koobface virus.

2.Koobface Spreads Itself

WHAT IT DOES: Koobface's first order of business will be to attempt to spread itself by infecting all of your Facebook friends. It does this by downloading an executable file called tinyproxy.exe which reads the cookies on your computer, identifies your friends list, and sends them infected messages like the ones described above. In addition to spreading itself, Koobface interferes with your internet navigation by linking you to lesser-known search engines whenever you attempt to conduct a search on larger sites such as Google or MSN.
3.HOW SERIOUS IS IT? According to InformationWeek, Facebook's spokesperson Barry Schnitt has said that, "Only a very small percentage of Facebook users have been affected and we're working quickly to update our security systems to minimize any further impact, including resetting passwords on infected accounts, removing the spam messages, and coordinating with third parties to remove redirects to malicious content elsewhere on the Web." That said, the original perpetrators of the Koobface virus have not been identified, and there is evidence that they are continuing to improve their techniques to infiltrate the security systems of social networking sites like Facebook. While a few reports have cropped up indicating that Koobface virus victims have found their hard drives decimated, the vast majority of infected Facebook users have been able to completely eradicate the virus using standard antivirus equipment, without experiencing any long-term damage to their systems.

4.Avoid the Virus if Possible

HOW TO PREVENT IT: No rocket science here. The Koobface virus is easily stopped by simply never downloading files unless you have complete confidence in their origin. If you receive a suspicious email, delete it without clicking any links. If you think it might be a legitimate email, but aren't sure, email or phone your friend to ask.

5. Get Rid of Koobface

HOW TO GET RID OF IT: While it is possible to manually extract the virus (see instructions below), most experts recommend using a virus scan. MacAfee and Norton Antivirus Software are both equipped to take care of the issue.

How to Clear the System Registry

System restore points are snapshots of your registry settings before you install software. Windows takes a system restore snapshot after you install the operating system. You can use this restore point to clear all settings in the registry. The Windows operating system lets you "roll back" to a specific system restore date.

PROCEDURE:

1. 1.Click the Windows "Start" button. In the Search text box, type "system restore" and press "Enter." The system restore wizard opens. Click "Next" on the first screen.
2. 2.Click the "Choose a different restore point" option. Click "Next." The next window shows you a list of system restore points and the points' associated dates. These dates are the time and day the restore point was created.
3. 3.Scroll down the list to the very first restore point. Click this restore point option and click "Next."
4. 4.Click "Restore." The restore point is installed on the computer, which clears the current registry settings. Click "Restart" after the restore completes to reboot the computer.

How to Connect a Laptop Computer To Your Television Screen

 
Solution: While it is possible to display the contents of your computer screen on the TV, you may not be very happy with the overall picture quality and the text is not very readable.
If that is no concern, here's how to connect your computer to a Television set (we used an HP Tablet Vista computer and a Sony Bravia HDTV for this example)
1. First you need a video cable for making the physically connection.
Most computers have an S-Video port that can be connected to the S-Video input of your TV screen using a very cheap S-Video cable (it's round with 4 or 7 pins).
For better picture quality, you should connect the computer to the TV using standard VGA ports or via the DVI to HDMI cable provided your TV supports these ports.
2. Open the "display settings" in your Vista computer and activate output to the TV screen. You can either mirror content of your computer on the TV or extend the display just like a dual monitor screen.
3. Pick up your TV remote and switch to "External Inputs" from the menu. You will need to change the default "Video 1" to a different selection which may be "HDMI 1" or "Video 2" depending on how you have made the connection.
Important: Make sure you connect the cable to the TV before turning on the computer as sometimes it may fail to recognize external display.
You may also need to change the screen resolution of your TV using the Display settings in your Control Panel else the picture may appear distorted.
