Google targeted most by spammers in February- Kaspersky Lab, hass and associates top story reviews
Spammers targeted Google most in February launching a mass mailing that included the Google name notifying users that their resume was under consideration, according According to Kaspersky Lab data.
"One company name that is especially popular with the fraudsters is Google", the report said.
It said that the recipient was encouraged to open the attached file to check their resume was correct. The attachment was a zip archive containing malware designed to steal passwords and other confidential data on the user's computer.
The report said that spammers are back to business in full swing in February after a 'lull of several months". It said that proportion of spam in email traffic grew by nearly 13 percentage points and averaged 71% for the month, higher than the average for January and the last three months of 2012.
If we look at the country wise figures Italy was the country targeted most by malicious emails in February. The country's share of mail antivirus detections grew by 9.4 percentage points and averaged 14.4%, pushing long-term leader the US into 2nd place.

Fake notifications from different financial organizations remain one of the most popular tools for distributing malware via email. This trick was especially popular in Italy where the spammers most often utilized Trojan-Banker.HTML.Agent.p which came 2nd in February's Top 10 malicious programs spread via email. This Trojan appears in the form of a HTML page imitating registration forms of well-known banks or e-pay systems which are used by phishers to steal users' credentials for online banking systems.
There were major shifts in the geographical distribution of spam flows. In February, South Korea was the main source of spam sent to European users: the volume of junk email originating from that country grew 27.7 percentage points and averaged 50.9%. Last month's leader China (3%) fell to 6th place in February with a considerable drop of 36.6 percentage points. Such significant changes in the share of spam produced by these two countries may be due to the fact that a group of spammers started distributing from a different botnet.
In February, the US topped the rating of the leading sources of spam worldwide. The amount of spam sent from China halved resulting in a drop to second place. As was the case in January, South Korea came third.
"Such a dramatic increase in the amount of spam in February hardly marks the beginning of a new trend. It was most probably caused by a decline in the share of junk email during the January holidays when many of the computers used in botnets to distribute spam were turned off. Moreover, the proportion of unsolicited messages in February was still slightly lower when compared with the average for the whole of 2012. In any case, we don't expect any more dramatic changes in the near future," said Darya Gudkova, Head of Content Analysis & Research, Kaspersky Lab.
"Of special concern right now is the fact that the majority of malicious attachments in spam are programs designed to steal users' credentials for online banking systems. They appear in the form of HTML pages imitating registration forms. Users should be especially careful with such emails and the attachments should not be opened; online banking pages should only be accessed via a browser."

In the mouth the wine is juicy and well structured, with generous notes of fresh cherry, Meyer lemon, and a touch of watermelon. Try this Rosato with spicy paella, barbecued shrimp, or simply on its own as a refreshing aperitif.

I'm sorry Cole but this is just another idiotic example of how you let you imagination MAKE UP, some far fetched idea, something is a a conspiracy, or cynical is happening.
This is what is wrong with the internet Cole, people like you who do not know sh*t from shinola, make this crap up, and it spreads all over the web worldwide. People who do not know any better believe it, repeat it, and it becomes Gospel. God only knows what you imagine about yourself!
Bullshit... You've no idea what the hell you're talking about and there's absolutely ZERO need to say sorry to me..Why!!!Simple Sir.....I don't have thin skin.
It's my opinion along with many many others that Aurora was a False Flag. What does that mean? Have you any clue Greeney..
If I had the time, ( I DON;T ) I'd spell it out for you, only I highly doubt that you'd ever grasp any of it.
What does free care have to do with anything? It's been reported that some group raised 4,000,000 bucks for the victims............did you see that...Oh and the Shik's shot in killed in Milwaukee get WHAT.....
Are you getting any of this Greeney?
The photo is out of sorts for such a tragedy...The batman tee's are a nice touch....What they been UP ALL NIGHT.......Or just wear it for effect? Who knows... Sun is shinning isn't it.
Some say they are actually actors......Me I don't have a clue, but to me the photo looks staged and the people in it look like some of those who appear in other photos that have found their way to the web.
Greeney, I don't make thing s up my friend but feel free to think as you wish..
You want Krazy Here I'll give you Krazy:
Be well my friend...

State capital of Pernambuco, on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, the city of Recife reveals itself to tourists with its rich historical and cultural heritage and the splendour of its waters. Skyscrapers rise on modern avenues, while the Beberibe and Capiberibe river channels coexist with colonial buildings and traditional alleys.
Known as the Brazilian Venice, for its canals and bridges over the Beberibe and Capiberibe rivers, the city of Recife lives in a scenario of harmony between the past and the present. With over one and a half million inhabitants, this city of North-eastern Brazil, where diverse cultural influences converge, it is possible to cross bridges built by the Dutch, admire the churches left by the Portuguese colonists, delight in the cuisine of Indian origin or dance the Maracatu rhythm, with an African touch. With a hot and humid tropical climate, and high temperatures all throughout the year, the city of Recife invites you to a refreshing swim at its beaches. With seven kilometres of extension, the Boa Viagem Beach enchants with its natural pools that are formed between the sand banks and the coral reefs. But the capital of the Brazilian state of Pernambuco also gained fame by its historical and cultural heritage. Besides the monuments, theatres and museums, the carnival is a major attraction in Recife. Proof of this was registered in the "Guinness Book of World Records" in 2009, the year in which the carnival block Galo da Madrugada dragged into the streets of the city, over two million merrymakers.

.J The College News VOL. XVIII, No. 20 BRYN MAWR AND WAYNE, PA., FRIDAY, MAY 6, 1932 Price 15 Cents Elizabethan Dances - Had Festive Origins Special Dances Were Done to Ward Off Evils and Aid Crops WHOLE VILLAGE DANCED The folk dances of Elizabethan times were originally series of figures arbitrarily suiting the music. As they developed into a more formalized pat- tern, many ceremonial and spectacu- lar dances were presented in connec- tion with seasonal festivals by spe- cial�but not in the ordinary sense professional�performers. These lat- ter, having a magico-religious function were done in each village by its own local team. Morris dancing was originally done in the spring, frequently at Whitsun- tide* It was done by five men and a boy dressed in girl's habit, who was called Maid Marian. Also there were two musicians. Frequently one of the dancers, more gaily and richly dress- ed than the others, acted as "fore- man of the morris." The garments of the dancers were ornamented with bells tuned to different notes so as to sound in harmony. The purpose of these dances was the expulsion of evils and diseases from the parish or district. This accounts for the use of sticks and bells, together with the former practice of dancing with blackened faces (to which the name "morris," i. e., Moorish, "nigger," seems to be due). Thus the origirfof this dance is attributed to the Span- ish Morisco and its introduction into England, to John of Gaunt on his return from Spain during the time of Edward the Third. Many authori- ties, on the contrary, ascribe Morris dancing to the Gallic tribes or to the Flemish. Few, if any, vestiges of it can be traced beyond the time of Hen- ry the Seventh, about which time, and particularly in that* of Henry the Eighth, the churchwardens' accounts showed the importance of the Morris- dance in parochial festivals. The Morris dancing depends large- ly upon comparatively intricate foot- work for its charm. Its popularity during the time of Queen Elizabeth -is admirably expressed in a tract pub- lished at that time; mentioning a "stranger, which, seeing a quintes- sence of all the picked youth, strained out of a whole endship, footing the Morris about a May-pole, and he not hearing the minstrelsie for the fid- ling, the tune for the sound, nor the pipe for the noise of the tabor, blunt- ly demaunded if they were not all be- side themselves, that they so lip'd and skip'd without an occasion." Sword dancing was done at or near Christmas � frequently from St. Stephen's day till New Year's Day� by teams of men. But as the dance has survived today the essential part of the dance is a mimic beheadal, ef- fected by arranging the swords in the shape of a hexagon, and a resus- citation. It is frequently'explained as a ceremonial of imitative magic, representing the death of wintcff and the subsequent devival of a vegeta- tion-daemon. It is probably a devel- opment from the Saltatio armata of the Roman militia on their Festival Armilustrium, in which young men went from village to village, dancing with swords in their hands, entertain- ing the householders. The Germans, later, according to historical accounts, and probably the Gauls and the Brit- ons had a kind of martial dance which was exhibited at every entertainment, consisting of dancing among the sharp points of swords and spears. The particular dances being done this May Day have interesting festi- val origins for the most part. Peas- cods is a harvest dance. Selinger's Round symbolized the beginning of the world; the dancers went into the center to touch a stone by which they represented the sun. The 29th of May, of no particular ceremonial im- portance, depends upon the pattern presented by the dancers as a whole, (Continued on Page Fourteen) Effect of May Day Depends on Costumes 600 Costumes Have to be A*- sembled Accurate in Each Detail COLQ1 RS MUST BLEND Shades of Queen Elizabeth Have Been Revived in Bryn Mawr Country-side May Day in Merry England Began at Midnight When in Spite of Witches Village Folk Went to the Woods to Gather the May SPIRIT OF JOLLITY STILL WALKS ABROAD "Now is the month of Maying When merry lads are playing, Fa la la la la la la lu la." This may well be the "hot-cha" age, but let anyone deny that there's hey- nonny-nonny in us yet! If Queen Elizabeth could return to view May Day she would, I am sure, feel very much at home and, seeing herself as others see her, be greatly flattered. No doubt she could be persuaded to reminisce. . . . But not even an auto- gyro can bring Elizabeth back, and for an idea of May Day as it was, though few of us are Peter Stand- ishes (of Berkeley Square), we must transforjn our green for ourselves. Merrie England, even as we, had its nuisances. On the eve of great celebrations, especially Midsummer and May Day, the witches became par ticularly active and, so we have heard, wished to raid every cowhouse and take away the milk. As a protection against these baleful creatures, who rode around on broomsticks and pitch- forks, the herdsmen |ried everything, even to tying a cross of rowan-tree wood to each animal's tail with a scarlet thread. At midnight, however, all troubles were forgotten in a great rush for the woods. Lads and lassies, milkmaids and goosegirls, shepherds and plowmen, even old men and wives frolicked all night in the groves and returned adorned with leaves and flowers. Some of them even became literal walking bowers, or Jacks-in- the-green, encased in�a tall frame of herbs and posies, with a flag at the top. They, with the Hobby-horse, who curvetted and jumped as no horse has ever done, were great favorites in the procession, which passed around the village boundaries, led by Maid Marian, fairest of the lassies, who "habited in pretty forest plight," pre- sided as Queen of the May. The Lord was none other than Robin Hood, who with" Little John, Friar Tuck and others of his band, contrasted strange- ly with the chimney-sweeps, who clutched shovels and brushes as the milkmaids did their pails, which were ornamented with ribbons and flowers. But the greatest treasure to be brought back from the woods was the May-pole, which twenty or forty yoke of oxen hauled, every ox having a sweet nosegay of flowers placed on- the tip of his horns. Itself a noc- turne in greenery, the pole was raised in the square, with handkerchiefs and flags fluttering on the top. Where- upon all fell to dancing about it; all day long there were sports and games. The May Queen, who was installed in pretty state in one of the arbors set up around the May-pole, watched the Sherwood foresters engage in quar- ter-staff bouts. There were also tests of archery and Morris dances. To-. ward evening bonfires wire lighted in the streets and stage plays were held. In these Robin Hood, along with St. George and the Dragon, played a iarge part. So popular was he that' a certain Bishop, as the story goes, coming to a certain town on May Day, found the church door locked. "So," he says, "I taryed there half an houre, and one of the parish comes to me and sayes, 'Syr, this is a busy day with us; we cannot hear you. . . . The parish are gone abroad, to gather for Robin Hood; I pray you hinder them not.'" Yet May Day was not only for the simple folk. Even Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon, one-beautiful morning, "when the hedgerows were in bloom with hawthorne," had gone forth to gather the May. And meet- ing the heads of the Corporation of London, together with the officers of the Guard, dressed in Lincoln green, they had games and revels of their own. Elizabeth, of course, was keen for May Days. For the year 1559 we even have recorded that forty-two men in armor were sent by the Iron- mongers' Guild "to the May game that went before the Queen's majesty to Greenwich." It is indeed hard to understand how anyone could be averse to such a fes- tival. Yet there are Puritans in every age, and none more fervent than in the Elizabethan times. And so Stubbes, in his Anatomie of Abuses, speaks of our dear May-pole as a "stinkyng idol" about which people "leape and daunce as the heathen did." In fact, so" firmly were the Puritans persuaded- that "Satan, prince of hell," was/ "Lord of their pastimes and sportes" that in 166-1 May-poles were forbidden by Parlia- ment, with the result that a larger pole than ever before, one 134 feet high, was set up in 1661 in the Strand, under the personal supervision of the Duke of York, flags flying and drums beating in celebration of the return of "golden days" in the person of the Stuarts. It serves them right. Yet it cannot be denied that May Day ffM at least of pagan origin and the sweet May Queen herself a relic of the Roman festival of Flora, goddess of Spring-time and Flowers. She em- bodied the idea of renewal and fructi- fication, for which the May-pole and every green thing is also a symbol. As among primitive peoples fertility of the crops was often closely con- nected with men and women, it is quite possible that the Saturnalia may haVe been one of the steps in the evo- lution of May Day. At the same time, this festival embodies a second and quite different iojea�that of puri- fication. In the past the interpreta- tion of the passing of winter had some quite fearful consequences. M (Continued on I'atre Twelve) It will take no experienced eye to discern in the performances of today the care that has been taken in the costuming and the great importance of that part of the work. In a per- formance in which one depends most- ly on mass effects for the success of the whole�and such a performance May Day undeniably is�color is a factor of prime importance, and the actual designs of the costumes only a slight- ly less one. The costumers" Mrs. Nel- son and Miss Marian Black, have worked out their problems on an amazingly scientic�or should we say scholarly�basis, a feat which is all the more wonderful when one realizes that upwards of six hundred costumes have to be assembled, if not actually made. The costumes of Queen Elizabeth and her court are in the tradition of former May Days, and, although we are informed that they are rented, some care had to be exercised in the selection of harmonious colors, which is in the last analysis the most com- plicated and difficult of the costum- er's problems. The costumes of the dancers on the green and the village folk, were comparatively simple, as many of them were handed down from former performances, and fall defi- nitely into one period. The dancers under Miss Cooper's direction present a more difficult question, as they are dressed of necessity in the close-fit- ting costumes of the Duncan School of Dancing. Some difficulties were encountered in making them harmon- ize with the bright colors of the groups around them, and yet stand out, but matters were finally solved by separating the two types of danc- ing entirely, so that one tradition may not be allowed to conflict with another. The Masque of Flowers, for which, the costumes are the most spectacular and luxurious, was supervised by Miss Janet Barber, who dances as Gallus in the performance itself. Miss Bar- ber follows fairly closely the descrip- tions of the costumes of a masque performed before Queen Elizabeth at the marriage of "two noble persons," but the designs themselves are in -peactically every case original. The costumes of Silenus, Kawasha, Invi- erno and the trains of the two gods are among the high spots of the whole afternoon, and no account of the cos- tuming would be complete without some tribute to Miss Barber for the designs and to the costumers, proper, for their execution of them. The Midsummer Sight's Dream players may easily be divided into two groups. One, the court, are clad in authentic Greek robes of the time of Theseus, as nearly as they can be determined. The Artisans, however, are wearing what we take to be the Elizabethan idea of what a Greek rustic would wear, which all boils down to something very close to an Elizabethan rustic laborer's garb. The fantastic little helmets that some of the group wear, while they may look to the uninitiated like a modern football helmet gone Elizabethan, are realy an Elizabethan laborer's cap gone Greek. (Your error!) Very fe\v new costumes have bf*-n used for the rustic group, .as it was the gen- eral consensus among the authorities that the older they were the better, and by this standard some of them are nigh- to perfection. Bottom is the only offender against this ideal, as his costume is vilely recent. When questioned on the subject of newly made costumes, those in charge noted �and hoped we would note�that they had "crinkled" all the Greek dresses laboriously and that they were now models of perfection. As Yon Like It presents the most (Continued on Page Fourteen)

Even at 14-1/2, I'm having new experiences, going new places, seeing new things. Here I am in an ocean. A very big body of water. It was different – nothing like I'd ever experienced – but I love it.
We took a long drive, Mom and I, in her hot car. Once she stopped the car and we went to a store and she came out and fed me a bagel. I was shaking while I ate the pieces as she was handing them to me. Then she went inside and got me one more. Same thing. Best bagels in my life!
Soon we drove, and stopped again. This time she asked me to get out of the hot car, filled my water bowl and laid it on the ground by the car, and I drank, we rested, and then got back in the car. More driving. I was so hot and tired.
Then one more stop. It was a nice place, I could tell lots of animals were there, lots of dogs. It was a wonderful place. Friendly people. But soon I had a very new experience. Mom says, "Dad just sent you a message, Joey. He says "Show 'em you're a man!"" What's that supposed to me? Soon, into a room Mom brought me – and right there in the room was a female dog! Oh my, the two people there let me smell her and boy was this an exciting experience. Honestly – I hadn't expected this!Well, it was a pretty new feeling.
Things were happening so fast. I'm not really sure what was going on. Then they separated me from my little female friend, though she seemed to be interested in playing with me:
Pretty soon I was just being held by one of the people, it was very strange. I'm not sure what the point was. It seemed like a long time, and Mom was there too, but she wasn't helping me very much.
I can't really say that I'd like a repeat of this experience, though everybody was very nice and Mom seemed to be very excited, saying we could have Joey puppies and all.
The drive back home seemed to be faster than the drive down. No stops, no bagels. Back home, I was just plain exhausted, and followed Mom's instructions when she said, "Joey, drink."
Everybody's wondering about why dogs eat tissues, why dogs are so fascinated with used tissues. I'm not. I'm wondering how to obtain them. I used to have a source. My source was the trash basket. There was one trash basket in the 2nd floor bathroom and one in the 2nd floor bedroom and one in the far and darkened corner of the basement room.
The basement one was the easiest to obtain my used tissues because there I had a lot of privacy and because the carpeting absorbed the sound of my walking. If the door to the basement was open at all, I could just push it open a little more and go down the stairs, over to the corner of the room, and pull out used tissues without anybody knowing where I was. If I was walking around on the 2nd floor my parents could hear my footsteps and rush up and intercept.
I did my business with the tissue right there, and left. That is, I left the tissue, the evidence, on the floor beside the basket.
When my Dad would see it laying there, he would have a fit.
It's not like I didn't know what I was doing. If I was in the middle of my crime and Dad or Mom came home, I would beat my tail behind me in small and rapid whipping-like motions and slink my way upstairs or downstairs. They knew, even before they saw the evidence.
One day I came home and there was a change, an extreme change, to our home in three places.
My parents are pretty smart. I'm going to just have to accept this for the moment or to try to find another source of used tissues. But of this I'm sure: If there is another source of used tissues, I will find it!
Another one of those trips to the animal hospital where I'm perfectly happy to go. More than happy. There's always a new excitement in the air because the air tells me that new dogs whom I've never met are nearby. It's not always the easiest thing to wag my tail in the car, but I manage.
Into the hospital we went, and waited. There was one dog in the "Dogs" section who was really nice – until he started barking at me. And that ended our budding friendship. Mom took me away, and then decided to try friendship again with him, and again he started acting friendly, and then barked at me again. So that did it for good.
My hope was to find another friend, or another doctor to make friends with, and soon I found one. A doctor, that is. Mom and I followed her into a little room, where I usually get lots of attention. But this time it was a real washout. Mom and the doctor talked, and talked, and talked, and talked. I had to obtain some attention for myself after a while, but it wasn't sustaining. And then they kept talking. What a waste. I could have been having a really good time all the while they were talking.
So here is my animal nutritionist with me.
Before I went to the animal nutritionist my mom was feeding me chicken and rice three times a day, with some occasional squash. After I went to the animal nutritionist, my mom was giving me dry kibble two times a day.
I really don't see what was to gain by seeing this animal nutritionist. Can anybody give me some sympathy, please?
I've always been excited about going away, getting in the car and driving away. I've never been excited about the sight of the suitcases that my parents place on the floors and beds – though the ones sitting up in the attic don't phase me in the least. But recently my parents started packing suitcases and also carrying my bed to the door. Carrying my bed to the door trumped the depression I feel when I see suitcases out and about. With my bed, I know it's going to be a good time.
This time my parents made me crazy keeping me waiting. They had my bed at the front door, but we weren't going into the car. I had to wait and wait and wait until they were ready. They Mom carried my bed into the car, as you can see, but wouldn't let me sit in the car with the bed. "Come out, Joey," Dad said.
Was there a point to my having to come out of the car, when my bed was inside the car?
Eventually my parents let me back into the car with my bed.
And that began my overnight(s) adventure at the home of my Labrador Retriever friend Jenny, with her big family.
I'm still a bit confused about the part where my parents walked outside our friends' home onto their porch and didn't let me follow; and then stood outside our friends' front door and faced me, inside the home, my not understanding why the front door was closing little by little on me, and said "Bye, Joey. We love you. We'll see you soon" and then the front door closed completely between them and me. But that's okay.
And just like my parents do in their home, in the evenings my friends placed my bed at the foot of their bed, and how well I slept.
Occasionally during the day I slept on my friend Jenny's bed and made her sleep on the sofa. But that's okay. Those are the rules!
I look pretty bad here. What's worse is how I felt. I couldn't run, I could barely walk, my parents thought I was dying. And I guess I was. I felt sick as a dog, and I was. My mom wanted me to see my favorite doctor in the world, but she wasn't there. So I saw the next doctor, then another, and finally I ended up where I should have started out, with my favorite doctor in the world (aside from Dr. Kiko, but I saw him too), who was now back from being away, and my favorite doctor in the world figured out all my problems and made my parents very very happy.
And I'm no longer as sick as a dog.
Here in this photo you can see my shoulder bones, you can see my vertebrae, you can see my sits bones and you can see my hips, bone by bone. You can see my skin flapping around. That's when my mom said "enough." Or maybe she said, "This is ridiculous."
A while back, when my mom took me for a checkup, she noticed that I was losing weight but that doctor didn't think that was important; he said "He has arthritis and it's good to carry less weight." He missed the sign. Then my mom took me back a while later and the next doctor missed the sign too. But my mom kept worrying about me and knew that the doctors were wrong.
So what was the problem?
The good news is that my favorite doctor in the world has me on an antibiotic and I'm gaining weight and you can't see my bones bone by bone or my skin rolling off of me any more!
And, yes everybody, I'm able to run again!!!
I don't think about it, actually. In the mornings when I'm out walking with Dad, and I'm not clipped to my lead, I really enjoy a quick trot. Maybe a quick dash from tree to tree. It's joyous. In the afternoons when I'm out with my Mom, and she lets me off lead, I'll do the same. Usually she gets up ahead of me and I'm lagging behind, smelling whatever I can find, and then I see her up ahead and sprint to her. A few times she's made a game out of it, and she'll start running, "Come on, Joey. Let's run" and I do. It's a nice game. I get an infusion of energy and life.. "Come on, Joey. Joey's running!" she says, all the way, maybe one block, maybe less, to our front door. Sometimes she arrives first, and sometimes I do. Either way, she makes a big deal out of it.
Yesterday she took me to Cat Rock Park. It was a nice day. I got to run and toss myself about, gayly and there were a lot of other dogs there and we really galavanted about, swimming and socializing. but have I had my final run?
Dad doesn't run with me any more. After a while I just can't make it up that big long hill any more.
I'm sleeping a lot, guys. I really am. But a few weeks ago it got really really really bad. I could barely walk back home when my mom took me out for a walk; Mom felt so badly for me drooping along that she would take off the lead and at least give me some freedom and let me walk at my own slow pace. I know that she would be up ahead of me. This was really not the order of things and she knew it and I knew it, though she tried to make me feel better about it by saying "Good boy" all the way back home.
Dad even stopped taking me out running.
My parents can remember a time when if I didn't have anything to do, I would always find or make something to do. If I was outside, I would try to get out of the yard, or find a ball somewhere and have myself a nice time, and I think the ball was enjoying being tossed around, chewed, rolled around, too. If I was inside, I would try to find that ball, too. There was rarely a dull moment for me. Okay, okay. After I was hit by the car I definitely slowed down. And then a month ago my new doctor told my parents to give me Previcox every day for my arthritis and elbow dysplasia.
The problem as my parents saw it is that I was sleeping a bit too much. "He's really sleeping a lot," Dad said.
"Yes, he's getting older."
"Yes, but this is a lot more sleeping; it's like he's dropping off a cliff or something."
Then Mom noticed that in the morning, when she would go downstairs, I wouldn't even follow her down. "Joey, Joey! What's going on? Come downstairs! Come! Come!" and maybe a minute or two later I would stretch and stretch and make my way, one step at a time, downstairs to the kitchen. "Joey, what's the matter? You usually follow me everywhere. Now I have to call you to come follow me around."
At some point one of my parents said, "Maybe it's his medication. Ever since we started giving him one a day Previcox, he's been sleeping like this." And they stopped giving me the pill in the morning.
And then Dad went away, suitcases and all.
But instead of being all depressed, I started feeling better, and more energetic. Mom was so certain that it was the medication that she took me over to the doctor's. He asked, "Has he also lost his appetite?" When Mom said "NO", he said that it's the first time he's ever seen a dog lethartic on Previcox but not lose his appetite.
When Dad came back home, suitcases and all, he said, "It's my Joey again." While Dad hasn't take me out running, my Mom has, for a block or two, at a time. And it's fun again.
I'm really glad my parents know me well. And it's good to be me again!!

(CNN) -- President Bill Clinton says President Barack Obama quit a recent golf round between them - and he suggested he might have a theory why.
"We played thirteen holes at Andrews Air Force Base the other day," Clinton said, "before he had to leave as a result of being reelected and getting ready for the inauguration, the legislature coming in and everything - the Congress coming in."
"He had the lowest score by far he'd ever shot at Andrews," Clinton, speaking at an event in California, continued of Obama. "He was five shots ahead of me after nine holes - but I'm older. I start slow and pick up, so I picked up four of those strokes in the first three holes of the back nine."
That left him within striking distance when Obama pulled his move.
"I'm only one down and he leaves at (hole) thirteen - says, 'Gotta go,' " Clinton continued, laughing.
He stopped short of accusing Obama of quitting the game before chalking up a loss, but said he told Obama, "Hey, you're talking to somebody that's had this job and made that excuse."
The hit the links together on December 2, according to White House officials' accounting of Obama's golfing partners provided to pool reporters. That day U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk and Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe rounded out the foursome.
Obama was at the course just under four hours that day. He has been known to spend longer; his latest golf outing, on January 4, lasted six hours.
Clinton spoke in Palm Springs, California at an event associated with the Humana Challenge golf tournament, whose sponsors include the Humana health care company and his Clinton Foundation.
The former president took questions on golf and health care from reporters and said there is a realization that "we can't keep spending more of our income on health care."
It is an argument for Obama's health reform law, he said.
"I think that in the next four years, how this health care bill is implemented will determine whether people see it as I do: as a big step forward - assuming we implement it right - or whether they have their fears confirmed because they don't like the way it's implemented and they think it's more trouble and less good," Clinton said.
His advocacy for the law and Obama was motivated "because I thought it was the right thing to do. And I told him (Obama) when it was over - I said, 'Nobody owes me anything. I'm going back to do my foundation. If I can ever help you, call me, and if you don't, it's fine with me.'
"I did this because it was right - end of story," Clinton added.
Clinton had no staunch position on one of the latest controversy in golf: the practice of "anchoring" putting clubs, which will be banned from the sport starting in 2016. Anchoring the putter grip in one's belly may give players an advantage, supporters of the rule change say, because it aids players' control of the club on critical shots. Opponents say an anchored club is not swung in the spirit of the game.
"I actually am one of those guys that ought to benefit from it because I have a condition that sometimes you get with aging," Clinton said. "You make have noticed it; my hand has a little tremor when I'm tired and a lot of people do when they're older. The first time it happened, I had to go get myself checked to make sure I didn't have Parkinson's (disease) and I was so relieved (with a negative diagnosis) I didn't care how much it shook after that.
"But I've never been able to figure out how to use one of those things so I don't care."

Abdominal sounds are the noises made by the intestines.
Bowel sounds
Abdominal sounds (bowel sounds) are made by the movement of the intestines as they push food through. Since the intestines are hollow, bowel sounds can echo through the abdomen much like the sounds heard from water pipes.
Most bowel sounds are harmless and simply mean that the gastrointestinal tract is working. A doctor can check abdominal sounds by listening to the abdomen with a stethoscope (auscultation ).
Although most bowel sounds are normal, there are some instances in which abnormal bowel sounds provide valuable information about the health of the body.
Ileus is a condition in which there is a lack of intestinal activity. Many medical conditions may lead to ileus. It is important to evaluate it further because gas, fluids, and the contents of the intestines can build up and break open (rupture) the bowel wall. The doctor may be unable to hear any bowel sounds when listening to the abdomen.
Reduced (hypoactive) bowel sounds include a reduction in the loudness, tone, or regularity of the sounds. They are a sign that intestinal activity has slowed.
Hypoactive bowel sounds are normal during sleep, and also occur normally for a short time after the use of certain medications and after abdominal surgery. Decreased or absent bowel sounds often indicate constipation.
Increased (hyperactive) bowel sounds can sometimes be heard even without a stethoscope. Hyperactive bowel sounds mean there is an increase in intestinal activity. This can sometimes occur with diarrhea and after eating.
Abdominal sounds are always evaluated together with symptoms such as:
If bowel sounds are hypoactive or hyperactive and there are other abnormal symptoms, it is important for you to have continued follow-up with your health care provider.
For example, no bowel sounds after a period of hyperactive bowel sounds can mean there is a rupture of the intestines, or strangulation of the bowel and death (necrosis ) of the bowel tissue.
Very high-pitched bowel sounds may be a sign of early bowel obstruction.
Most of the sounds you hear in your stomach and intestines are due to normal digestion and are no need for concern. Many conditions can cause hyperactive or hypoactive bowel sounds. Most are harmless and do not need to be treated.
The following is a list of more serious conditions that can cause abnormal bowel sounds.
Hyperactive, hypoactive, or missing bowel sounds:
Other causes of hypoactive bowel sounds:
Other causes of hyperactive bowel sounds:
Call your health care provider if you have any symptoms such as:
The doctor or nurse will examine you and ask you questions about your medical history and symptoms. You may be asked:
The doctor may order more tests. Tests may include:
If there are signs of an emergency, you will be sent to the hospital. A tube will be placed through your nose or mouth into the stomach or intestines. This empties your intestines. Usually, you will not be allowed to eat or drink anything so your intestines can rest. You will be given fluids through a vein (intravenously).
You may be given medication to reduce symptoms and to treat the cause of the problem. (The specific medication depends on the situation.) Some people may need surgery right away.

Ryan Lochte has made it abundantly clear that he isn't the brightest person. He may be a good swimmer — heck, a great swimmer... but that's about it. There isn't much upstairs. But somehow, the gold medal-winning swimmer has scored himself a reality show, What Would Ryan Lochte Do?, which airs Sunday nights on E!. On Monday night, Lochte stopped by the Late Show with David Letterman to have a chat about his new reality show.
Letterman asked how Lochte got the show. "The main reason I got this show is, you know, every four years the most watched sport at the Olympics is swimming," he said. "And then after the Olympics, people tend to just forget about swimming." So Lochte wants swimming to remain a part of people's lives even after the Oympics are finished. "But um, I just wanna bring swimming into everyone's living room," he said. "So, bringing swimming awareness."
Oh, and Lochte likes other sports too besides swimming. He likes to play beach volleyball, basketball, and to surf — anything, as long as it means he might get hurt while at it.

Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 12
Rated 4 out of 5 by Bethw Good bottles
I like these bottles, but my daughter did better with Born Free the first few months.

Rated 5 out of 5 by txkns17 Super pleased!
I am super pleased with the bottles color, minimal parts, qualities, and you can find a conversion kit to make these into sippy cups later. Score!
March 18, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cortney Perfect starter set
A friend of mine got me this set for my baby shower and I found them to be the best bottle. The bottle itself is contoured to fit your hand perfectly so it is really comfortable to hold. The nipples were slow flowing and did not cause any nipple confusion with my daughter. I also got the sippy cup and cannot wait until we can finally use it!
March 18, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by talltxmama Best nipples for newborns
We've gone through a lot of different bottle brands at my house -- and the ThinkBaby bottles were our #1 choice when our son was a newborn. The Level 1 nipples are narrower than most others we found, which was perfect for when he was super-small. Now that he's older, I like how easy these are for him to hold by himself (with or without the handles that come with the toddler sippycup conversion kit -- which I highly recommend). From a style perspective, these also have a fun, graphic look like that I like.

My newborn always chokes and gags with almost all the bottles I introduced to her except for the Think Baby level one nipple. This starter set is perfect for a newborn baby.

Rated 5 out of 5 by mwheeler Love these
This is one of the few bottles my daughter would take and we tried everything. I love that you can also buy the conversion kit to make it a sippy cup.
March 14, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Amanda1 Safe and durable
Our baby refused every bottle on the market, but unlike others, we were able to get use out of these by purchasing the sippy cup transitioners. This is a great bottle to chose for your little one!
March 11, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Alexa Excellent Bottles
I recommend these bottles highly, not only for the obvious reasons, such as their eco-friendly materials, but because they offer a 'transition' bottle that acts as half bottle/half sippy cup. My two year old refuses milk from a cup. ThinkBaby's transition cup has saved us.

(4 Questions : 4 Answers)
See what people are asking, and maybe add some answers of your own.
Does this bottle work with Playtex nurser system liners?Answers
ThinkBaby Bottles don't use liners -- simply pour your contents into the bottle, screw-on the bottle's collar, and feed away!Q:
Can the Yoomi Warmer be used with this starter set of bottles? Or is it just specific Yoomi bottles that can be used with the warmer?Answers
Yoomi's innovative warming element is good for up to 100 uses and works exclusively with Yoomi bottles.If you're looking for a warmer that accomodates ThinkBaby Bottles, consider either Avent's IQ Warmer, or Beaba's Bib'expresso. The IQ Electronic Bottle & Baby Food Warmer is more convenient than heating on a stovetop and safer than the microwave with no risk of hot spots. And, Bib'expresso is the dream product for parents who are formula feeding, and want the easiest way to prepare their bottles. Follow the product links below to learn more about our assortment!
Products from my answer
Avent iQ Electronic Bottle & Baby Food Warmer
Beaba Bib'expresso
Do these fit into the Avent IQ Warmer?Answers
Yes! All sizes of the thinkbaby bottles (4oz and 9oz) work with the Avent iQ Bottle Warmer. The warmer can accommodate bottles up to 11oz.Q:
I'm concerned about all the articles recently about BPA and bottles. Are all of your bottles BPA-free?Answers
Not to worry! All of our bottles are BPA-free. (For those of you who are not familiar with BPA, it stands for Bisphenol-A and is a chemical found in plastics.) We've also got lots of great BPA-free products for older kids, like dish sets and utensils.1 of 1

I have a question and I am hoping that someone will tell me the answer.
On November 4 I made a purchase of $15.98 and put in the coupon code to see how many downloads there would be for this month's Harvest Wonder. I never downloaded it. Since then I made 9 purchases. Now when I go to my order's history, I see the purchase but there isn't a download button. My question is am I looking in the right place? If not, would you please direct me to the right place?
I am so determined to get Harvest Wonder since I would like to enter a challenge.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you. :)

First time designers and those just starting out the best to get your name out there in the community is:
(free and cheap ways of marketing your designs)
Create a design that has a 'wow' factor, even if it doesn't sell, thats okay its just the crazy, out-there design thats going to help get you noticed and create a name for yourself.
Call or email you local news broadcaster to let them know your out there doing you thing (designing) and you have a great piece they may be interested in doing a story.
Call or email local community newspapers and the main newspaper in your city and state, telling them im here and I have a great design.
Design & Home Interior Design Magazines are great too, they need you to fill pages and you need them to get you name out there. At the start, first few pages they have the credits of who the editor and other people who work for the magazine (these magazine based here in Australia ask for designers to send in work, ie photos of designs and information on yourself) email them and send photos of your designs.
Markets are good too, (Australian based) markets cost only $30 for the day, with a tent along side other arts & crafts shall people. Take down a piece of furniture with you and any business cards etc.. with you and hand out to people walking past.
When starting out, it's good to say that you can and will do custom work, as this opens up your target market (you can do this when just starting out)
Have a website, and become a link to search words used in google (go to Google Adword) for around $30 per month you have a link to as many search words that you like. Say I wanted to search designer furniture, your ad will appear on the right hand side on the computer screen with other links. Choose as many words as you want, like, furniture designer, designer, modern furniture, designer furniture etc...
Head out to design industry events in your local area and/or city. And start to get your name out there.
Design Comp's are a great way for getting noticed, meet the guide lines of the comp, and send in photos, via email or post.
And finally, if anyone asks what you do for a living, always say that your a furniture designer / product design etc... Whatever your doing say that you doing, and add a little sugar coating if need be.
Good Luck! Information above is designed for those in the design industry, along the lines of a furniture designer, product designer, industrial designer etc... Remember you can read all the books in the world on how to market yourself and what you do, but the best piece of advice is to use common sense!

They just love saying that, but they never try to explain it, even when you flat out ask them to:SO, with the heartfelt belief that the more people talk, the more ideas and concepts you share, the better the world becomes:"You just don't understand Russia""Then explain it to us until we do."Go!

Awful move? He will extend career since he will get more open looks then ever with wade and lbj .. hell you saw what it did for Battier in finals.. Celtics need to worry about the Nets in division first before the Heat.. Not many guys who can convince someone to leave the team they won their only ring with for their biggest current rival and half the money ... guess Pat Riley is that good or Rajon Rondo that bad of a punk.

Most likely he would have failed the DNA test.
It's very likely that MLB refused because
1) They don't want to set a precedent for having to continuously DNA test all specimens taken throughout the process to make sure it's still the same person's specimen; and
2) They didn't want to give any legitimacy to the idea that this might not have been his specimen. By allowing such a test, they'd be saying "you know, we're not sure either."
Now, though, if they can get a de novo review in court, I bet they'd go for it.

Ensuring the safety of cell therapy: a quality control pipeline for cell purification and validation
Funding Type:
Early Translational I
Grant Number:
Award Value:
Collaborative Funder:
Victoria, Australia
Stem Cell Use:
Embryonic Stem Cell
iPS Cell
Public Abstract:
The clinical application of cell replacement therapy in the US is dependent on the FDA's approval, and the primary objective of the FDA is to protect patients from unsafe drugs and procedures. The FDA has a specific mandate for human gene and cell therapy and since the unexpected deaths in early trials of gene therapy trials the bar for safety in these areas is unusually high.
This is a summary of the key findings from the FDA's report on human embryonic stem cell therapy (April 2008): "From the perspective of toxicology, the proliferative potential of undifferentiated human embryonic and embryonic germ cells evokes the greatest level of concern. A characteristic of hESCs is their capacity to generate teratomas when transplanted into immunologically incompetent strains of mice. Undifferentiated hESCs are not considered as suitable for transplantation due to the risk of unregulated growth. Before clinical trials are begun in humans, the issue of unregulated growth potential and its relationship to stem cell differentiation must be evaluated".
In order to overcome the concerns about the safety of pluripotent stem cell therapy, we have designed a pipeline of quality control measures that can be applied to any cell type that is being considered for Investigational New Drug (IND) approval by the FDA. The technologies that we will develop under this award will allow rigorous selection and characterization of cells before they are tested as transplants. By reducing the possibility that stem cell therapies will be toxic or cause cancer in patients, we will remove the major barriers to advancement of these therapies to the clinic.
Statement of Benefit to California:
Californians are a large and diverse population that poses unique challenges for the future of medical care. Fortunately, California has a tradition of taking the lead in technology and medical breakthroughs and following through from the first idea to the final product. Almost 20,000 Californians await organ transplants, and more than a million suffer from progressive degenerative diseases and injuries such as Alzheimer disease, Parkinson's disease, nerve-muscle disease such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and muscular dystrophy, liver disease, diabetes, and spinal cord injury. The possibility of applying cell replacement therapy to these problems could drastically improve the outlook for treatment for the victims. A major goal for California's supporters of stem cell research is development of stem cell-based products that have medical use, and the mandate for the research community is to provide the best possible fundamental information to help guide clinical applications to make these cells as safe as is possible for cell therapy, by ensuring that they retain normal, noncancerous qualities.
California scientists have taken the first steps to clinical applications of pluripotent stem cells through their cutting edge research in developing new ways to derive these cells and to differentiate them into cell types that can be used to replace damaged tissues. We propose to take this research to the next step, to prepare the cells for clinical trials. We propose to develop a comprehensive pipeline of quality control technologies that will ensure the safety and purity of cells used first for preclinical testing and later for obtaining IND approval from the FDA for initiating human trials. These technologies can be used for any cell therapy, and will considerably reduce the barriers to development of safe, effective new treatments for incurable disease. This will have a positive effect on the health care of all Californians, reduce the cost of development of cell therapies, and create new opportunities for jobs and industry in the state.
Progress Report:
