Another Obama fallacy, the claim that his tax plan increase on incomes of $250,000 or more is only on those that “individually” earn over $250,000. This small business owner has explained how this will affect his business. Yes, it affects you, Utahns. Even if you do not personally take in $250,000. Utah has around 236,000 small businesses. This means, of those 236,000, I would imagine most if not all bring in more than $250,000. All of you feeling Obama is on your side, he is not. He is twisting the truth.
“…when young people can all go to college, when everybody’s got decent health care, when everybody’s got a little more money at the end of the month…”
This is not the role of government unfortunately. That is the fallacy of his argument. It’s the role of government to make sure the infrastructure is there for us all to make this happen for ourselves, not for “them” to determine it for us.
At work, we receive the Investor’s Business Daily. Now, I do not claim to be an avid ready, but on occasion, I will read cover-page headlines to see what is happening in the world that day. Today, the headline read, “Why The Mortgage Crisis Happened”. This caught my attention. In the article, a chronological outline of events, since FDR, of the collapse of the housing mortgage industry. Granted, it appears to be slanted to focus on certain “characters”, so I will leave it to you to determine if what this guy is claiming is legitimate.
As with any ol’ political campaign, there always has to be some cracker/script kiddie advocacy/special interest group breaking the law to push their agenda.
I ran into an issue when migrating a SharePoint Wiki list from one site to another. In creating a Wiki list based on a saved template (with content) the default home document was broken or not being set. So the QuickLink link takes you to the Wiki list default view, AllItems.aspx, rather than the Home.aspx document as it normally should. Apparently, WSS does not allow administrators to change the welcome page property, only MOSS.
In searching for a fix to this, I ran across a blog post of someone that had similar SharePoint Wiki Library issues, and recommended a great utility called the SharePoint Manager 2007. It allows you to view/edit the SharePoint object model directly.
So, to fix the broken Home.aspx Wiki list, you set the /Site/RootFolders/Wiki/WelcomePage property to "Home.aspx".
Apparently, sometimes corporate Risk Bulletins are useful!
Tips to protect yourself from phishing schemes:
Never provide your personal information when responding to an unsolicited email request, no matter how legitimate the communication may look. Whether by phone, email or internet site, data created by phishers may look like the real thing. If you didn’t initiate the communication, you shouldn’t provide any information.
Never provide a password over the telephone in response to an unsolicited request. Financial institutions should never ask you to verify your account information online.
Contact the financial institution yourself, if you believe the contact may be legitimate. Phone number and websites can be found on your monthly statements from your financial institutions. You can also look up companies on the internet or in phone books.
Regularly review your account statements to confirm there are no fraudulent charges. If your account statement is ever late, immediately contact the financial institution to determine why.

When you encounter a potential fraud, especially if you believe you’ve lost money, act immediately:
If you receive phishing emails, you can report the fraud to the FBI’s Internet Fraud Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov, and forward the email to enforcement@sec.gov, to pass the tip to the SEC’s Enforcement Division.
