Carlson Named Board Chair for ITA Ask The Help Desk - Can Google Lead ANYONE To My Front Door? Question: I've heard that Google recently implemented
a feature that enables anyone to type a phone number into the search bar and
be able to see the corresponding address and view a map that shows where that
home is located. I'm concerned that this could pose a safety risk for me and
my family. Is there anything I can do? 1. Go to http://www.google.com.
2. Type your phone number (including area code)
in the search bar. 3. Press the "enter/return" key or
click your cursor arrow on "Google Search." 4. If your address information appears, click
on "Map" located to the right of the address information. 5. To remove your name from the Google
phonebook, click your cursor arrow on your phone number, and click on
"Request to have your name removed from this list." Complete the
form and click on "Submit Form." Your removal request will be
processed in approximately 48 hours. If you have an
unlisted number or cell phone as a primary contact, this Google map issue
will not apply to you. Sites Of The Month - Great Sites To Check Out In December Dare to Compare Short Tutorial - Blocking A Sender's E-mail Address Are you getting
annoying e-mails from someone you know? If you are, you can block the
sender's e-mail address so that you will no longer see their messages in your
Inbox. Instead, any e-mails received from that address would go to your
Deleted Items or Junk E-mail folder. Please note that blocking a sender's

typically change their e-mail address frequently. 1. With Outlook Express open, select a message
whose sender you want to block. 2. Click your cursor arrow on
"Message" in the menu bar, and drop down to and select "Block
Sender..." from the resulting drop-down menu. 3. When the Outlook Express alert window opens,
it will tell you it has added the sender to your Blocked Senders List. It
will also ask you if you would like to remove all messages from this sender
from the current folder. Click "Yes" to move all messages from the
blocked sender to the Deleted Items folder. Click "No" to leave the
messages where they are. Blocking a Sender When
