*Fake 'Radiation' Text Message Panics Millions*

BBC
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-12745128
- A fake text message warning people that radiation from the Fukushima
nuclear plant has leaked beyond Japan has been panicking people across
Asia.

The SMS message, purporting to come from the BBC, has been circulating
around Asian countries since Monday.

It warns people to take necessary precautions against possible effects
of radiation.

The BBC has issued no such flash but the hoax has caused particular panic
in the Philippines.

Some media reports suggest that workers and school children there were
sent home after the rumours began to spread, prompting the Philippines
g-vernment to issue an official denial.

Disasters such as that currently unfolding in Japan often trigger a rise
in scam texts and e-mails intended to fool users into downloading
malware or simply to spread panic.

The US Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) has told computer
users to be wary of potential e-mail scams, as well as fake anti-virus
and phishing attacks regarding the Japan earthquake and the tsunami
disasters.

*/FAKE E-MAIL IN FULL

BBC Flash news : Japan Go-ernment confirms radiation leak at Fukushima
n-clear plants. Asian countries should take necessary precautions. If
rain comes, remain indoors first 24 hours. Close doors and windows. Swab
neck skin with betadine where thyroid area is, radiation hits thyroid
first. Take extra precautions. Radiation may hit Philippine at around 4
pm today. If it rains today or in the next few days in Hong Kong. Do not
go under the rain. If you get caught out, use an umbrella or raincoat,
even if it is only a drizzle. R-dioactive particles, which may cause
burns, alopecia or even c-ncer, may be in the rain./*

"Such scams may contain links or attachments which direct users to
phishing or malware-laden sites," it said.

In the Philippines, the Department of Science and Technology has held a
press conference to reassure the public that they are safe even if
radiation levels in Japan continue to rise.

On Tuesday morning, reactor 2 at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nu-lear plant
became the third to explode in four days.

Radiation has reached harmful levels but there is no suggestion that it
is affecting anything other than the immediate area.

Officials have extended the danger zone, warning residents within 30km
(18 miles) to evacuate or stay indoors.

*NOTE: I've already started receiving phishing emails from Japanese
email servers. I really hope some of these scammers are caught and hung
by their heels...Lon*

Mexico: Se-urity Camera Captures UFO over Tulancingo, Hidalgo
By Ana Luisa Cid

On December 5, 2010, Mr. Ezequiel Zeferino Hernández recorded a strange
object over the city of Tulancingo. The witness is a C4 sec-rity camera
operator.

At the end of his work shift, Mr. Hernández went out to the street and
was able to see a luminous shape in the night sky. He returned to his
office and used the building's security cameras to focus in on the
object, noticing that it changed shape as hours went by.

The "Bisemanario Ruta" newspaper published the events, and its editor -- 
Lic. Juan Antonio Ortiz -- sent me a full video (over 2 hours long) and
put me in contact with the original witness. I originally learned of the
case from my friend and collaborator Ing. Héctor Pérez.

It should also be noted that -- according to Mr. Hernández -- the UFO
was located in the same area where a fireball was recorded last year.

posts with a bit of Irish flavor. Now 'sweeten' your coffee with some
Jameson and cream, sit back and enjoy.../'a drink precedes a story'/*

*His Heart Was Still In Ireland*

In July 1997, I received a telephone call from a cheerful lady who was
answering my newspaper ad for autographs and old documents. This is my
actual means of making a living. I have been a collector and dealer of
autographs for over 25 years. She stated she lived in Thurmont, Maryland
and that she had a steamer trunk full of artifacts and documents, mostly
from the late 1800’s. We made an appointment for me to come to her home
the following day.

It was late afternoon when I arrived and the first thing I noticed was
the house, a beautiful Victorian style house painted deep brown with
many high hedges and thick pines. A stereotypical “haunted house” we
used to see in the old horror movies. I parked the car in the front and
walked up the steep pavement and porch steps, each footstep on the porch
creaked and moaned. I knocked on the large wooden door and almost
immediately the door opened and a pleasant woman reached out her hand
for mine and introduced herself. “Just call me Mary, everybody else
does” she said. I said “OK, Mary. Thank you for inviting me to your
wonderful home.” That was no overstatement, this place was like a step
into the past…gasoliers, pedestal sinks, sconces, bronzes, etc.

She motioned to the large sitting room where a steamer chest was
sitting by a beautiful daybed. She explained that her late father had
collected the contents and simply placed everything in the steamer
trunk. He had an interest in documents that described historic events.
As well, he had collected several older autographs. The trunk was
used by him when he immigrated from Ireland in the 1918.

I opened the lid and was hit in the face by the typical musty aroma of
old paper. I started to sift through the items and quickly read over the
papers to see exactly what was before me. Many of the items were
personal letters written in Gaelic. Included were soldiers correspondence
from France, no doubt during the First World War. Then I came across a
7x9 inch photo of King George V of Great Britain that was signed by
the monarch. As I touched the piece, I knew there was a history behind it.

I sat motionless for a minute or so, long enough to be noticed by Mary.
She inquired if anything was wrong? I told her that I got a sense of
hatred and pain when I touched this photograph. She then noticed what I
was holding and sighed….then tried to hold back tears. I explained to
her that I was able to sense residual feelings and events and that I had
performed paranormal investigations for many years. She smiled and told
me why she was displaying tearful emotions.

Mary explained that her father was a member of the Irish resistance in 
Dublin
and that he had always blamed King George V for the death of his brother
during the 1916 “Easter Rising”. Her father was also captured by the
British troops but managed to escape and make his way to the United
States. He always wanted to go back to Ireland to reunite with family
but was afraid that he would still be considered a fugitive. He
eventually got married and raised a family. He worked as a gunsmith and
bricklayer. Mary said he would pace in his study daily wondering how his
friends and family in Ireland were getting along. In 1935, he had
gathered enough money together to visit Ireland after he had received a
visa. Then tragedy struck when her father suffered a severe stroke. The
money he saved for his trip was used for his cremation and funeral.
