10 Things That I Will Not Miss About 2007
Another year has passed. I hope that you are all a year healthier, wealthier and wiser. As I have done for each of the past five years, and back by popular demand, I would like to share with you the "10 Things That I Will Not Miss About 2007" -- and do not want to see or hear ever again. Here we go (in no particular order). 1. "They tried to make me go to rehab, I said, 'No, no, no.'" Amy Winehouse, Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan all checked into and out of (and sometimes back into) substance abuse programs this year. Why not? It seems like the optimal thing to do. The entire world keeps downloading their songs (and movies) through Apple's (AAPL - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) iTunes despite their misdeeds.

Is there anything more annoying in the world than talking to a computer on the phone? Not the voice that tells you to leave a message or gives you a directory of people's extensions. I'm talking about a computer voice that actually has a conversation with you. A cable company that I deal with (I won't say which one) is the worst offender. When there's a problem you are almost guaranteed to deal with the "fake lady" for several minutes. If you come to the end of that rope, you usually get turned over to someone with an accent so thick you can barely understand him or her. I used to have this company's phone service, but dumped it because it went out every time it rained. Between the 4 or 5 times I called to try to get some help, I must have spent the better part of 17 years talking to a computer voice (OK, that's exaggerating a little, but it seemed that long).
Sheehan seeks Rushville City Clerk-Treasurer office
Money can't buy happiness, but proper management of it can provide great security for a family, a business, and even the city," Sheehan said. Sheehan believes that he has the same philosophy on spending money that he did when he first got into the political arena seven years ago. He said that because the average citizen has to stick to a budget to make sure their spending does not exceed their income, that government should do the same. "I am confident that if you asked the mayor, clerk-treasurer, council, and department heads who attend our council meetings regularly, they will attest that I have been a consistent voice fighting for conservative and responsible government spending for the last seven years," Sheehan said. If elected, Sheehan feels his role would change from making those decisions to providing reliable up-to-date financial information to assist the council in making decisions that are based on fact.

Junked: Is this the end of spam and spoof email?
Spammers, phishers and other internet fraudsters, be warned. A key internet standards body has given preliminary approval to a powerful technology designed to detect and block fake email messages. It's called DomainKeys Identified Mail, and it promises to give internet users the best chance so far of staunching the seemingly endless flow of fraudulent junk email. Cisco Systems, PGP Corporation, Sendmail and Yahoo! are behind the push for DomainKeys, which the companies said in a joint statement will provide "businesses with heightened brand protection by providing message authentication, verification and traceability to help determine whether a message is legitimate". The draft standard that the Internet Engineering Task Force adopted is more promising than most other anti-spam and anti-phishing technologies because it harnesses the power of cryptographically secure digital signatures to thwart online miscreants.
