It’s a mess!  An attack that started over Independence Day weekend on several government websites—has disabled portions of the department charged with preventing just those kinds of assaults on the internet.  The attacks are suspected of originating in North Korea—as retaliation of sorts against policies by the west against that country.  Websites in South Korea have also been affected.
So far—no significant problems locally—–although a warning was issued on Monday to users of the Windows XP operating system—-as a persistent bug allows havoc as cyber thieves use the playing of a video to open a door to hard drive data—–best advice:  never open an email you suspect might not be authentic.
           Aspen voters may be asked this fall whether or not to empty the real estate transfer tax bank account==all 26 million dollars of it=—-to help pay for an expansion of the Wheeler Opera House.
           Entrepreneurs arise!  Goes the cry of those unwilling to bend to the recession—tomorrow we’ll be hearing from Dave Storm—an enterprising keeper of bees in the mid-valley—-==don’t get stung with the economic downturn—learn how to succeed in business by really trying!!!  Listen to KUUR local news, and local news on our sister station:  KSNO!
