LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) 4/11/12 - view article at http://www.wdrb.com/story/17165750/red-cross-better-business-bureau-warn-against-scams - The Red Cross has swarmed to tornado ravaged southern Indiana, but some people may be taking advantage of that. Officials are warning residents about scam artists posing as Red Cross employees. Disaster relief officials say the scammers call residents and ask them to leave their homes and pay a $25 debris removal fee. Residents are being urged to call police if anyone claiming to represent the organization asks for money. Meanwhile the Better Business Bureau is also issuing detailed warnings about potential scams..

Shiva Ayyadurai, pictured above, is a shimmering intellectual. He holds four degrees from MIT (where he lectures), numerous patents, honors, and awards. He also says he invented email, and there's a global conspiracy against him. Guess which one of these statements is true.In 1978, a precocious 14-year-old from New Jersey invented email. You can see him doing it in the photo at the top right of your screen-the kid glued to his monitor. In that picture, he's busy showing off his creation-a way for office staff to message each other via computer. As he's happy to gab to the Washington Post, which recently ran a profile of him, Ayyadurai was a teen wonder who invented the electronic messaging system with which we all communicate, back in 1978. Ayyadurai's collection of "historical documents" is now to be interred at the Smithsonian, the Post reported, laid gloriously on the pillar of American history alongside artifacts of Occidental Civilzation such as Dizzy Gillespie's trumpet, Thomas Jefferson's Bible, and a 1903 Winton, "the first car driven across the United States." Ayyadurai is about to become more than just a gifted programmer and Professional Smart Man, but a historical figure. All of this leading up to a plum book deal with Norton, proclaiming his place in history as the upstart inventor of email itself.But why have you never heard of him? Probably because there's precious little evidence that Ayyadurai came remotely close to inventing email, beyond a few misleading childhood documents and a US Copyright form of dubious weight. This was enough to convince the Washington Post and Smithsonian? Before you could even finish the Post's ode, Emi Kolawole, the reporter behind the piece, issued a stumbling correction:A number of readers have accurately pointed out that electronic messaging predates V. A. Shiva Ayyadurai's work in 1978. However, Ayyadurai holds the copyright to the computer program called"email," establishing him as the creator of the "compu

Yandex confirmed on Tuesday that it has signed an agreement with microblogging service Twitter, giving the users of their search engine immediate access to over 250 million new tweets every day. Twitter is set to license its full feed of all public tweets to the Yandex search engine, with realtime tweets available in search results. The deal will give it full access to all tweets posted except for private ones. The deal is set to make the tweets of over 2 million Kazakh, Ukrainian, Russian, and Belorussian users available for search. Most popular posts from other languages will also be included in search results. The biggest search engine in Russia, Yandex also has operations in Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Turkey and Belarus. Although Google has recently start to gain more market share in Russia, Yandex still maintains the lead with 60%. Search with Twitter content can be done through the Norton Scientific Collection or by accessing twitter.yandex.ru. Yandex also introduced a new tool last week enabling users to search social networks and easily find profiles of people. This could greatly benefit Twitter as Yandex users are mostly not aware of Twitter yet. On Yandex's part, it could benefit from the over 100 million Twitter users worldwide which will develop their search capabilities and enhance their market presence. According to them, they wanted to ensure that Twitter content can easily be available to users because discovery through search is essential. Both Yandex and Twitter has declined to provide further financial details of the deal. Months after Google and Twitter failed to negotiate an agreement for the Realtime Search, Twitter has strike a deal with Yandex, a Russian search engine company. Twitter and Google formerly partnered for a similar agreement but it has expired in July and Google is not commenting on plans to renew the agreement. Microsoft reportedly paid USD 30 million for its Twitter de
