Iran's Nowruz New Year, typically joyous, haunted by virus
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — At this time of year, the meandering arcades and alleys of Tehran's Grand Bazaar and other markets would usually be filled with shoppers rushing to stock up before the Persian New Year, Nowruz — a major holiday in Iran, when the entire country goes on vacation.

Don't redial, lettuce worries and kudos
NO REDIAL: When you get a call to your landline and the caller does not leave a message and you don’t recognize the Caller ID of the caller — DON’T push the “auto redial” number. When you do this, you make yourself a “gift” to spam callers and salespeople everywhere. This week, one consumer wrote me a long, involved, very precise email asking how spam callers got her number and why the same number keeps calling her back (usually she’s not home). The reason they keep calling her back is that they have and use Caller ID to determine when they have a “live one” on the line. Without realizing it, they are engaging the spam callers in a game of phone tag. MY ADVICE: Never return spam, or unknown calls — NEVER!
