Unfounded rumors

Citigroup Inc (C - News) said there was no basis for rumors that it was responsible for a massive trading error that caused the markets to plunge on Thursday.
"Based on our review, rumors about a trading error by Citi are unfounded. It is troubling that inaccurate and unfounded rumors were spread as far as they were,"..

Reading the above about Citigroup is a reminder to one and all to be careful what we say and what we publish because the damage can be incalculable.
Wishing you a Shabbos free from rumors and gossip, I will leave you with a devar Torah from Revach.net.

Parshas Behar starts with the mitzva of Shmita, but instead of the usual introduction Vayidaber Hashem El Moshe it adds "Behar Sinai". Hashem told Moshe on Har Sinai. Rashi asks the famous question of "Mah Inyan Shmita Eitzel Har Sinai", what does Shmita have to do with har Sinai? He answers that this teaches us that every single mitzva and all their details were given on Har Sinai. The Ohr HaChaim HaKadosh asks why did the Torah choose Shmita as an example from all the other mitzvos to teach us this lesson?
He answers that the next pasuk tells us that this mitzva will begin when we arrive to Eretz Yisroel, "Asher Ani Nosein Lachem", the land that Hashem has given us. The Torah is teaching us that the reason why we received the great gift of Eretz Yisroel, was because we received the Torah on Har Sinai. Eretz Yisroel is gift that is totally dependent on keeping the Torah...
