Brad Pitt tops ”Most Dangerous Celebrities To Search For On The Web” list

Melbourne, Sept 17 (ANI): Want to download a Brad Pitt screen saver? Well, you may be putting your PC at risk.

The Hollywood hearthrob has been dubbed the most dangerous celebrity to search for on the web by an Internet security firm because cybercriminals use his name to lure victims.

US-based McAfee said fans searching for information and pictures of the actor, or downloads, wallpaper and screen savers, have an 18 per cent chance of having their PCs infected with a virus, spyware, spam, phishing and adware.

“Cybercriminals employ numerous methods, yet one of the simplest but most effective ways is to trick consumers into infecting themselves by capitalising on Americans” interest in celebrity gossip,” The Age.com.au quoted Jeff Green, senior vice president of McAfee’’s Product Development & Avert Labs, as saying.

“Tapping into current events, pop culture or commonly browsed sites is an easy way to achieve this,” he added.

According to the company, web surfers looking for celebrity gossip, screen savers and ringtones are often directed to fake Internet sites that look legitimate but pose a risk to the security of their computers.

The top ten most dangerous celebrity to search for on the web are:
1. Brad Pitt
2. Beyonce Knowles
3. Justin Timberlake
4. Heidi Montag
5. Mariah Carey
6. Jessica Alba
7. Lindsay Lohan
8. Cameron Diaz
9. George Clooney, Rihanna
11. Angelina Jolie
12. Fergie
13. David Beckham, Katie Holmes
15. Katherine Heigl (ANI)

Dignitaries, celebrities up front for oath-taking

From the best seats in the house, Barack Obama's inauguration proved to be a mix of serious reflection and fraternity-like ribbing with a dash of celebrity gazing.

A select group of 400, warmed by individual blue blankets, sat on the platform to witness history up close. Folding chairs were standard for most; only the principals such as Obama and former President George W. Bush sat on cushioned, highback chairs. Obama family and friends, members of past and soon-to-be administrations, Supreme Court justices, lawmakers and stars of Hollywood and sports were arrayed in rows beyond the podium.

Moments proved poignant, somber and funny.

There was Muhammad Ali, the boxing legend whose own oratory skills have forever been changed by Parkinson's disease, getting help from a family member who tried to put warm gloves on those famous hands.

There was actor Leonardo DiCaprio, playing paparazzo and taking photographs. Academy-award winning director Steven Spielberg also was camera-ready.

There was California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger comparing notes with former Gov. Gray Davis while standing in the aisle in the risers near the main platform. Asked to move, Schwarzenegger jokingly told a young woman, "We're solving a budget crisis."

California is facing a budget deficit that is expected to exceed $40 billion over the next year and a half.

The nation's governors who attended proved to be a frisky lot. Seat in several rows on the left side, just above the main platform, they decided to have some fun when Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano, Obama's choice to head the Department of Homeland Security, showed up.

"Hey, Janet," they called out in unison.

Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine explained that Napolitano once headed the National Governor's Association and they wanted to get her attention.

The memorable moment for Kaine was the stretch of Obama's speech when the new president spoke to the world "so powerful," Kaine said. "The people and the world are paying so much attention."

Scores of senators wore cowboy hats, from Montana's Sen. Max Baucus to Pennsylvania's Arlen Specter. Arizona Sen. John McCain, the man Obama defeated to win the presidency, skipped the hat but chose distinctive black shades.

Former basketball star Magic Johnson posed for photographs with many of those in attendance, including a governor or two.

New York Rep. Gary Ackerman was the first lawmaker to arrive, and he immediately claimed one of the best seats on the platform directly next to the steps, front row. To avoid the traffic crush, Ackerman said he and his wife slept at his office.

Asked if he was taking that prime seat, Ackerman told a congressional aide, "Yes, we could and yes, I am."

The event kicks off Friday evening, June 27, with a VIP Opening Reception.

Established by former NFL great, Bruce Laird, Fourth and Goal is 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to representing retired NFL players to advocate and raise funds for improved pension and disability benefits and to provide immediate assistance to retired players in need, to their spouses and their families. Fourth and Goal’s charge is to enhance and improve the existing pension and disability program and substantiate representation for the league’s retired players.

Exclusive to the Fourth & Goal Classic, Tracy Lawrence, Tracy Bryd and Pat Green will come together in a special one-time only performance for the benefit of Fourth and Goal.

MORE ON FOURTH AND GOAL

Fourth and Goal has an a three-part initiative: 1) to secure funds for retired players in immediate need, 2) to reform, improve and update the pension plan system currently in place and 3) to garner representation for retired players by the NFL Player’s Association to insure the retired players will get the care they need.

A community of NFL players, Fourth and Goal works diligently to raise public awareness surrounding these issues by conducting informational media interviews and working in cooperation with other like-minded organizations to improve the lives of retired players who worked to make the league what it is today.

The organization’s charge included the formation of the 88 Plan (named after ex-Colt, John Mackey). The 88 Plan benefits retired players who, like Mackey, suffer from dementia or Alzheimer’s.

Through its fund-raising efforts to date, Fourth and Goal has come to the aid of Larry Morris (formerly of the Chicago Bears and MVP of the 1963 NFL championship game) who now suffers from dementia • Wayne Hawkins (Oakland Raiders) who suffers from early-onset Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia • Brent Boyd, who, after a 6-year career with the Minnesota Vikings, suffers from severe football-related illnesses • Suzie Heywood, whose late husband Ralph Heywood (the only NFL player to serve in the U.S. Armed Forces in three wars–World War II, Korea and Vietnam) passed away due to complications from Alzheimer’s in April 2007. (Mrs. Heywood sold the couple’s ranch and possessions and moved into a horse trailer in order to afford the care her husband needed.) • Syndi Shy, widow of Don Shy. Don was the first-round draft choice of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1967. During his seven-year NFL career, he played for the Steelers, the Chicago Bears, the St. Louis Cardinals and the New Orleans Saints. Don died from brain tumors in October 2006 at the of age 61.


Maxie Baughan, Joe DeLamielleure, John Hannah, Sam Havrilak, Sam Huff, Bruce Laird, Mercury Morris, Jim Mutscheller, Jeff Nixon and Charlie Waters serve on Fourth and Goal’s Board of Directors.

10 Tactics How To Download Tons of Top Quality Products For Free

NOTE : This tutorial is for Educational Purposes Only.
Before you start Please make sure you will Hide your IP and dowload firefox. DO NOT DO ANY OF THE METHODS before getting the tools. I assume you will be using Firefox. I am not a fan of Internet Explorer. So if you do use IE, please get Firefox as I am not sure if these tools work with IE or not.
Hide My IP 2007
You will need this software because you do not want to leave your IP behind and you want to stay behind the proxy and Hide My IP 2007 is the best one available to be honest. Use Google Search To Download “Hide My IP 2007”
After downloading, Install the Hide My IP 2007 and change your IP address. Now we must check if our IP changed go to http://cmyip.com and see if your IP has changed. Once done you may proceed to do the tactics below.

TACTIC 1
Rather easy method, but still this works for most of the sites. Its good to have an arsenal of all the methods so that you can try all of them to get an ebook. Well the first method is basically the old “site” synxtax used in search engines. So say you want a product from a site
Code: www.mysite.com and they have a pdf or something, you will just head over to Google, and type
Code: Site: www.mysite.com
now if the site is indexed you will have the url for the pdf file or the zip or whatever it is. You can do this on Google, Yahoo and Alexa, I have used AltaVista in the past also, so you can try all of them. This method rather easy works on some sites thare are har d to get even with advance methods. So here is the first method the “site” command in Google and other sites.. REMEMBER TRY ALL THE SEARCH SITES I TOLD. SOMETIMES YAHOO SHOWS more results than Google. And vice versa.

TACTIC 2
Another easy method, this one requires a guess work of the pdf or zip or exe file. For example say you were looking for a book on Code: www.contentpro.com now you gotta guess the pdf file if the site is selling a pdf file just give the pdf file a guess in this case I might go for contentpro.pdf on Google and do a search and all other sites, and see what is the r esult. If I dont get anything I will do conpro.pdf or contpro.pdf or procontent.pdf, you get the idea. Now in some cases this method alone can find you the ebook or product you are looking for, it has some limitaton but in most cases it wor ks like a magic. Again try it on all sites, try it with dashes, underscores and few other add ons.

TACTIC 3
This method requires you to have some knowledge of p2p sites and softwares. My favourite ones happen to be IRC->DC++->Emule–>Torrent–>Limewire. What you can do is look around these places for the pdf file. You can find some on IRC and sometimes on DC++ or emule or Torrent, I have yet to find some stuff on Limewire or torrent but you can always check it out.

TACTIC 4
SEARCH TACTICS
In this tactic we will try to get a very popular Keyword Searching Tool “Keyword Elite”.
First step is go to http://www.filez.com or http://rapidshare-search-engine.com then search a keyword for the product that we want. So now I will search for the keyword “keyword elite” and walla… check the rapidshare links below and the download it.
Easy Right?
If you are not lucky enough to find the product then here’s something that will help you. Go to http://alexa.com and search for “thank you for your purchase [keyword] ” without the quotes(”) example: thank you for your purchase [adsense]

TACTIC 5
just go to the victim : www.example-domain.com put in robots.txt
example : www.example-domain.com/robots.txt you will see
# robots.txt for http://www.example-domain.com/
User-agent: *
Disallow: /downld/downld.html
Disallow: /downld/a-nbsd
Disallow: /downld/b-34v8
Disallow: /downld/c-ksajfk
then you try below links, you might find goodies there
http://www.example-domain.com/downld/downld.html
http://www.example-domain.com/downld/a- nbsd
http://www.example-domain.com/downld/b-34v8
http://www.example-domain.com/downld/c-ksajfk
But it is based on luck!

Winter Blast Indiana - Road Condition

WTHR-TV

updated 9:13 a.m. ET Dec. 16, 2007

Indianapolis - The snow arrived Saturday morning, and it was only the beginning of a pre-Christmas winter blast.

A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for much of Central Indiana through Sunday afternoon. Several inches are expected in the metro area by Saturday afternoon, with a sleet/snow mix expected later. Heavy snow is expected overnight with totals as high as 17 inches in areas to the north of Marion County.

We'll see the first band of snow pass through Central Indiana Saturday morning, with about one to three inches falling, some areas picking up four. SkyTrak Weather says we should see a break this afternoon before freezing rain, sleet and snow develop for tonight and early Sunday morning.

Wind gusts to 35 and 45 mph on Sunday morning could make for blizzard like conditions. Areas that see all snow and no ice could pick up 10-17 inches. This area includes just to the north of I-70. Along and south of I-70 6-12 inches is possible along with significant freezing rain and sleet. Our far southern counties will see about 4-8 inches due to a lot of ice and rain. Some areas in Hamilton County could see the greater snow amounts.

CLOSINGS AND DELAYS

Stay tuned to Eyewitness News and WTHR.com for the latest updates on the storm, as well as closings and delays. Sign up for your Personal Forecast from WTHR.com to stay on top of the weather. And when it's all over, head outside and snap a few pictures for our photo gallery.

Ice wreaks havoc on roadways

Around 3:00 pm, the snowfall that blanketed the area turned to a light rain. By the late evening hours, the rain had begun to freeze on windshields in the downtown area, and some roads on the north side had become icy. The far northwest corner of Interstate 465 was closed around 9:45 Saturday night, and two southbound lanes of the outerbelt near I-70 on the east side closed due to a crash shortly before 11 pm.

In Carmel, a van crashed into a pond at 141st Street and Towne Road, apparently trapping four people inside. Crews transported the victims to the hospital and remain on the scene. There is no report on the condition of the passengers, which witnesses say included an adult and three children.

Further north, there were reports of ice on I-65 toward Lebanon causing at least one accident. At 11 pm, the freezing rain and ice extended north from south of Indianapolis to Frankfort. North of the rain was heavy snow. Meteorologist Jude Redfield says the freezing rain will continue until 2 am before temperatures get cold enough for the precipitation to turn to snow. The storm is now forecast to leave 5 to 9 inches of snow on the ground around central Indiana, including what fell Saturday morning.

In addition to the precipitation, winds picking up to between 25 and 40 miles an hour could create blizzard-like conditions in the morning into the early afternoon.

Snow gives way to ice in the afternoon

At around 9:30 am, traffic on I-65 was smooth, although the snowfall was picking up and the wind got stronger. State police reported several slide-offs on different parts of the interstates and in the metro area.

State and county road crews started working Friday to prepare the roads. In Indianapolis, some 75 Department of Public Works drivers are planning for 12-hour shifts and began dropping salt on roads before the snow started falling. The state used liquid salt brine to get ahead of predictions for impending ice. Around 60 INDOT trucks will be out, as well as 300 in the central Indiana area.

"Typically the worst is when the snow is falling heavily. So take a look outside the window and if possible try to squeeze your Christmas shopping in when it's not falling from the sky," said Paul Whitmore, Department of Public Works.

Many drivers were heeding that advice as they headed to the mall or grocery store early Saturday morning. Some hardware stores reported that they had already sold out of snowblowers.

INDOT plans to have Hoosier Helpers on patrol on the Interstate system within Marion County to assist motorists that get stranded in the storm.

Anderson vehicle order

Anderson Mayor Kevin S. Smith has asked all city residents to remove their vehicles from city streets, if possible, in anticipation of a major snowstorm that is expected to develop Saturday. If all vehicles can be moved to driveways or other private property, the city's snow emergency task force will be better able to clear streets and roadways. See the city website for updates.

Emergency declarations

Indiana has a new standardized system to report across the state during severe weather and other hazardous situations if it includes snowstorms and tornadoes, floods, fires, utility failures, major accidents, public health energies and even acts of terrorism.

Before this year, each of Indiana's 92 counties reported conditions differently making it difficult to give an appropriate response in a timely manner. Now the system includes one easy to read statewide map that can be posted here and allows for quick emergency declarations meaning a quicker response for those who need help.

ISP offers winter driving tips

The combination of snow, freezing rain, ice and wind can cause driving conditions to change quickly. To help Hoosiers prepare for this winter storm, the Indiana State Police offers the following safety tips.

Be prepared:

• Before traveling, check the forecast and let someone know your travel route.
• Keep your gas tank at least half-full.
• Carry a winter driving kit that should include blankets, flashlight, extra batteries, a brightly colored cloth, sand (or cat litter), shovel, candle, matches, non-perishable high calorie food, first aid kit, and jumper cables.
• Slow down on snow/ice covered roads.
• Allow extra time to arrive at your destination.
• Clear all windows of ice and snow and remove snow from hood, roof, and lights.
• Use extra caution when driving across bridges, underpasses, shaded areas and intersections where ice is slow to melt.
• Avoid abrupt stops and starts. Slow down gradually and keep wheels turning to avoid loosing traction.
• Use low beam headlights to decrease glare from ice.

Should you become stranded:

• Don't leave your car. It's the best protection you have.
• Tie a brightly colored cloth to your antenna.
• Roll down your window a small amount.
• Keep the exhaust pipe free of blockage to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Don't panic. An idling car uses only one gallon of gas per hour.

A four-wheel drive vehicle may keep you from being stuck in deep snow or aid in acceleration during slippery road conditions, but it will not allow you to stop any quicker. Slow down and allow yourself plenty of stopping distance.

For Indiana road conditions between December 1 and April 1, call 317-232-8298 or 800-261-7623 or visit the state police web site.
