Without a temporary FBI fix, it is possible that hundreds of thousands of computer users could still lose access to the Internet on July 9. The Huffington Post reported in April that international hackers ran an online advertising scam and infected computers with a malicious software called DNSChanger, which leads users to fraudulent websites making computers vulnerable. The FBI responded with a safety net using clean DNS servers to prevent internet disruptions, however, the solution is temporary. The clean DNS servers will be turned off on July 9 and computers still impacted by DNSChanger may lose Internet connectivity at that time, according to the FBI's website. Once the shutdown is complete, infected computers could lose access to the …

After two homicides in two months, police chief seeks to assure residents that Royal Oak is a safe community.
Two murders in Royal Oak in 2011 underscore a year of crime that has disturbed the public, including law enforcement. After a pair of parole absconders were arraigned in 44th District Court on Dec. 13, Police Chief Corrigan O’Donohue told reporters the couple’s slaying of 80-year-old Nancy Dailey had affected his department, as well as the entire Royal Oak community. “This is a rare occurrence,” O’Donohue said in a news conference outside the courtroom. “Royal Oak is a very safe community. The reason we are all here is because it is so rare.” The chief said he did not want people living in fear but added that residents should take simple precautions. The news of Dailey’s homicide came just two months after a 41-year-old Ranae Chupick was …
