Nebraska state senator sues God Injunction sought against Him for allegedly causing deaths, making threats
www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20827350/LINCOLN, Neb. - The defendant in a state senator’s lawsuit is accused of causing untold death and horror and threatening to cause more still. He can be sued in Douglas County, the legislator claims, because He’s everywhere.
State Sen. Ernie Chambers sued God last week. Angered by another lawsuit he considers frivolous, Chambers says he’s trying to make the point that anybody can file a lawsuit against anybody.
Chambers says in his lawsuit that God has made terrorist threats against the senator and his constituents, inspired fear and caused “widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth’s inhabitants.”
The Omaha senator, who skips morning prayers during the legislative session and often criticizes Christians, also says God has caused “fearsome floods ... horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes.”
He’s seeking a permanent injunction against the Almighty.
Suit in protest
Chambers said the lawsuit was triggered by a federal suit filed against a judge who recently barred words such as “rape” and “victim” from a sexual assault trial.
The accuser in the criminal case, Tory Bowen, sued Lancaster District Judge Jeffre Cheuvront, claiming that he violated her free speech rights.
Chambers said Bowen’s lawsuit is inappropriate because the Nebraska Supreme Court has already considered the case and federal courts follow the decisions of state supreme courts on state matters.

“This lawsuit having been filed and being of such questionable merit creates a circumstance where my lawsuit is appropriately filed,” Chambers said. “People might call it frivolous but if they read it they’ll see there are very serious issues I have raised.”
U.S. District Judge Richard Kopf, in an order last week, expressed doubts about whether Bowen’s lawsuit “has any legal basis whatsoever” and said sanctions may be imposed against Bowen and her attorneys if they fail to show cause for the lawsuit.
The Associated Press usually does not identify accusers in sex-assault cases, but Bowen has allowed her name to be used publicly because of the issue over the judge’s language restrictions.
Cheuvront declared a mistrial in the sexual assault trial in July, saying pretrial publicity made it impossible to gather enough impartial jurors

First iPhone Trojan in the wild
news.zdnet.com/2424-9595_22-182554.htmlThe first warnings about the Trojan were posted on Saturday on the iPhone modification forum ModMyiFone.com, said security vendor F-Secure. When installed, the Trojan appeared to do nothing more than display the word "shoes", according to the ModMyiFone post.
However, when a user attempted to uninstall the malicious code, the application wiped files from the /bin directory, breaking "Erica's Utilities" such as sendfile. Erica's Utilities are a collection of command-line utilities for the iPhone, according to security vendor Symantec, which warned on Monday that the Trojan also overwrites OpenSSH, an open-source encryption protocol.
The Trojan, known as "iPhone firmware 1.1.3 prep", or "113 prep", is the first to be seen in the wild, according to Symantec researcher Orla Cox.
"This is technically the first Trojan horse seen for the iPhone; however, it does appear to be more of a prank than an actual threat," Cox wrote in a blog post. "The impact of uninstalling the 'Trojan' would appear to be an unintended side effect."
Affected users need to uninstall the Trojan and reinstall affected files, according to Symantec. The risk to users is minimal as they would have to choose to install the bogus package and the site which was hosting it has now been taken offline, wrote Cox.
Both Symantec and F-Secure warned that users should be cautious when installing third-party iPhone applications. Apple warned in September last year that its own updates could break unlocked iPhones running unofficial iPhone software

Holy Cow! Two-Headed Calf Shocks Dairy
Dairy workers were left stunned after a rare new breed of cow was born - Blinky the two-headed calf."We call her Blinky because all four eyes blink at the same time," said Greg Hamstra, owner of Hamstra Dairy in Tulare, California.
Mr Hamstra joked that he was not going to be charging admission fees for workers and their friends wishing to see the unusual beast.
But, speaking to the Fresno Bee newspaper and website, he added: "We're probably getting less done than normal."
Blinky was born on Tuesday morning and was promptly discovered by one of the workers.
The Holstein heifer has one neck and two ears, but she also has four eyes, two noses and two mouths.
Hamstra said the calf suckles on two bottles at the same time.
"It's a rare, freaky thing," Dr Pete Kistler, a Tulare veterinarian who examined Blinky, told the paper.
He says he does not know whether the deformity is genetic or developmental.
Dr Kistler says he suspects that Blinky also has a deformity in her brain because she cannot stand up.
