Description 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a novel bed mattress and, more particularly, to a novel bed mattress having a cavity therein, within which numerous cores can be inserted to provide a wide range of firmness or softness or other support as may be desired and further which utilizes a reversible pillow top. The present inventive arrangement provides a novel concept of providing a removable core within the inner portion of a mattress and a removable and reversible pillow top covering said core. As a result of the present invention, the core provides great flexibility to the user in that a variety of cores, i.e., firm and/or soft innersprings; fluid containing; pocketed coils; foam and the like can be inserted into the mattress to provide the desired sleeping system. Moreover, the reversible pillow top also offers additional versatility in providing the desired sleeping system. In other embodiments of the present invention, two or more cores having different degrees of firmness or comfort effects can be inserted into the inner portion thereof to provide differing degrees of firmness or support throughout the same bed. This flexibility allows the mattress to be fully adaptable to any who sleep or rest thereon. As a result, for example, in the case of two people, the preferences of both of the people can be fulfilled without the purchase of a separate bed. Moreover, the bed mattress of the present invention is further provided with a border or collar portion which provides the requisite stiffness necessary to retain the overall shape of the mattress, the border or collar portion preferably comprised of interconnected coil springs, extending throughout the continuous border or collar portion which, in turn, defines the inner portion of the mattress forming a cavity within the mattresss border. 2. Description of the Prior Art The present state of the art related to bed mattresses has developed numerous mattresses which can be somehow modified in terms of softness or firmness to suit the particular desires of the consumer. It is well known in the prior art to insert objects into a mattress to modify the firmness thereof. however, the specific configuration of the present invention, with all of its inherent advantages, is not shown or taught anywhere in the prior art. None of the prior art, of which Giese U.S. Pat. No. 1,371,362; Borsini U.S. Pat. No. 3,950,798; Robell U.S. Pat. No. 2,504,352; Cunningham U.S. Pat. No. 3,166,768; and Forwood U.S. Pat. No. 2,651,788 are typical, show or even suggest the overall configuration and the advantages inherently embodied in the features of the present invention. As illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 1,371,362 a bed mattress is provided having an outer integral box spring mattress construction made in a rectangular form with a central recess. A center mattress portion is provided with a wooden frame and coil springs to provide central support to a person disposed thereon. The recess is further provided with central wooden slats upon which a central mattress portion is supported. The outer integral border portion is further internally provided with short coils mounted on a raised wooden frame. This teaching, however, does not provide the numerous advantages nor the versatility inherent in the design and configuration of the present invention. For example, unlike this patent, the present invention contemplates the use of numerous different cores which provide a wide range of firmness and support to suit one's particular taste. Moreover, in one embodiment of the present invention, the mattress is also reversible, i.e., the center mattress core portion can be inserted into the mattress from either side, thereby allowing the user to reverse the mattress if so desired. U.S. Pat. No. 3,950,798 discloses an easily washable and reconstructable mattress provided with a multitude of inserts for insertion inside of a mattress. The invention therein is directed towards replacing the well known woolen mattress with an easily washable mattress, namely, a mattress made of multiple elements each being thrust extruded stuffing elements. However, unlike the present invention, no coil springs supported border portion is provided therein. Additionally, the versatility, in terms of providing diverse degrees of firmness, of the present invention far surpasses that of this reference. The multiple inserts provided in the prior art patent are not of a integral construction, as in the present invention, nor can they provide the same continuous degree of firmness over the entire length of a person's body. By not providing an integral construction, gaps may develop between the stuffing elements of the reference, thereby providing areas of little or no support. Further, there are no provisions made in this patent for the different desires of two or more people sleeping or resting on the same bed. U.S. Pat. No. 2,504,352 discloses a mattress having differing zones of firmness which are somewhat variable according to the desires of the user. Although this patent discloses the concept of combining different zones of firmness in one mattress, there is no disclosure of a border portion having a recess, or cavity, disposed therein. Further, this patent does not disclose any adaptability of a single mattress to adjust to the different firmness desires of two people sleeping or resting thereon. U.S. Pat. No. 3,166,768 discloses a mattress substantially supported by interconnected rows of coil springs having three inserts of foam inserted within the mattress, dispersed between the coil springs. Although this patent discloses the use of foam inserts to change the local firmness within the mattress, there is no disclosure of a border portion with a cavity therein or the use of a unitary structure in the form of a mattress core insertable into the mattress to regulate, change or modify the firmness thereof. U.S. Pat. No. 2,651,788 further discloses a mattress having a mattress cover slidably fastened to the mattress along the central axis of the outermost side of the mattress. The mattress is internally provided with a plurality of coil springs disposed throughout. Resilient foam pads are then disposed directly above the coil springs and below the mattress core as the individual may desire. Although this patent does disclose a mattress cover having differing types of mattresses thereunder, no border portion is disclosed defining a cavity to receive cores through either the top or bottom of the mattress. Accordingly, it is one object of the present invention to provide a novel bed mattress which can be modified, in terms of firmness and support, according to the desires of a person supported thereon. Another object of the present invention is to provide a bed mattress offering a variety of sleeping surfaces which can be adjusted according to the desires of any number of people sleeping or otherwise resting thereon so that each may be independently supported by differing cores of the same mattress. A further object of the present invention is to provide a mattress which is reversible so that the user may reverse the mattress and insert cores from either the top or bottom as he or she may desire. Another object of the present invention is to provide a mattress which permits easy demonstration of all the features of the mattress at the point of sale. A further object is to provide a mattress having increased serviceability, in that any servicing or replacing of the mattress can occur at a place remote from the point of purchase. Still another object of the present invention is to provide a mattress having an inner core, or cores, said inner core or cores being readily changeable according to the changing desires of the particular user. A still further object of this invention is to provide a mattress wherein as part of the preservation and care thereof only the core or cores need to be turned over rather than turning the entire mattress, which procedure in the past has always been somewhat tedious and cumbersome. Yet, another object of the present invention is to provide a bed having a removable core therein, and further readily adapted to receiving a bed board for orthopedic purposes. Still another object of this invention is to provide a mattress having an inner core or cores, said inner core or cores being readily changeable and wherein said cores are covered with a removable and reversible pillow top. These and other objects are achieved herein by providing a bed mattress, which may be reversible, having a border portion which defines a periphery of an inner cavity adapted to receive at least one core mattress therein. The border portion has a pillow top, adapted to be reversible, slidably fastened thereto. The foregoing and other objects, advantages and characterizing features of the inventive process and apparatus herein described will become more readily apparent from the following detailed description of preferred embodiments thereof, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein like reference numerals denote similar parts throughout the various views and in which: FIGS. 1a and 1b are perspective views of the mattress according to the present invention, showing a reversible pillow top; FIG. 1c is a perspective view of the mattress having a linear attached thereto; FIG. 1d is a perspective view of the mattress according to the present invention utilizing a reversible pillow top and showing the insertion of two separate cores side-by-side; FIG. 2 is a side view, in cross-section, of the present invention without the core inserted therein; FIG. 3 is a side view, in cross-section, of the pillow top and liner configuration of the present invention; FIGS. 4, 5 and 7 are perspective views, with portions broken away, of typical cores utilized in the present invention; FIGS. 6, 8, 9 and 10 are perspective views, with portions broken away, of two typical cores insertable within a single mattress; FIG. 11 is a side sectional view of a core having three differing sections therein; FIG. 12 is an enlarged plan view of a corner face of a rectangular pocketed spring assembly, with the springs disposed in a non-nested square array; FIG. 13 is a fragmentary elevational view of the assembly of FIG. 12; FIG. 14 is an enlarged plan view of a series of pocketed springs; and FIG. 15 is a fragmentary elevational view of the springs of FIG. 14. Referring now in detail to the drawings, the present invention contemplates the use of a mattress 10, embodying the features of the present invention, supported on a box spring 12. The mattress 10 is preferably comprised of a continuous border or collar portion 14 having an outer side 16, a top 18, and a bottom 20. A plush fabric upholstery 22, such as mattress ticking, is normally provided about the exterior of the border or collar portion 14. Typically, the plush material 22, consistent with the upholstery of the box spring 12, is provided along the outer side 16. A soft non-stretchable material 24, preferably made of a woven, or non-woven, breathable fabric or a leather or vinyl type material, covers the top 18 and bottom 20 of the border or collar portion 14. Internally provided in the border portion 14 are at least one, and preferably, at least two rows of coil springs 26, each coil, for example, preferably made of 15 gauge coil wire. Border wires 28, having any suitable cross-section, are provided about the periphery of the border 14 which, in addition to interconnecting the springs within the border, act to hold the springs 26 in substantially spaced relation therein. The wires 28, and the spring coils 26 form a generally rigid but resiliently yieldable rectangular mattress frame adapted to comfortably support the weight of a person sitting on the edge of the mattress while concurrently maintaining the shape of the mattress. The coils and wires may be constituted of metal or of a suitable plastic material which is adapted to simulate or duplicate the physical and resilient properties of the metal. In a preferred embodiment, the coil springs 26 within collar or border 14 are individually encased or pocketed, preferably in a thermoplastic non-woven material, such as for example, Duon. The coil springs 26 may, for example, be retained within this encasing material, e.g., non-woven material, by a series of welds formed between adjacent coils such as, for example, in accordance with Stumpf U.S. Pat. No. 4,234,983 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,234,984, the disclosures of which are incorporated by reference herein. Coil springs 26 may also be retained within the pocketed material by stitching or other suitable means and, in such embodiment may be encased in virtually any encasing material. In greater detail, in the Stumpf construction which is illustrated in FIGS. 12 and 13, a pocketed spring assembly has a given strip 82 of pocketed springs 84 connected to each adjacent strip 86 and 88 by connecting the two fabric strips together. Although the overall pattern of the assembly may tend to initially confuse the eye, reference should be made to fragmentary enlargements of FIGS. 12 and 13, from which it is more readily apparent that the connections 90 of a given strip of springs to its neighboring strip are made between a pair of successive springs 84 of each strip, and are alternated along any given strip, e.g., strip 82, so that the given strip is connected first to the neighboring strip on one side, e.g., strip 86, and then to the neighboring strip on the opposite side, e.g., strip 88, and so forth, along the entire given strip from one end or side of the assembly to the other. The interstrip connections 90 are conveniently, although not necessarily, made near the opposite faces of the spring assembly, where, because of the preferred barrel shape of the coil, the slack of the fabric between successive pockets near the ends of the coils facilitates the insertion of a tool appropriate to make the connection. As a result of the connection, the pair of coils of each strip immediately adjacent to the interstrip connection 90 are joined with an opposing pair in a configuration which, in plan, resembles a fourleaf clover, each spring pocket being rotated approximately a one-eight turn away from the longitudinal axis of its own strip. The strips of pocketed coils 88 illustrated herein are produced commercially, and comprise a folded two-ply strip of non-woven fabric of thermoplastic fibers in which the spring pockets are defined between the plies by transverse lines 92 of discrete thermal welds of the plies to one another, and in which the pockets formed in the two-ply strip are closed by a longitudinal seam 94 of similar thermal welds to confine the springs in the pockets. When the springs are permitted to expand after being confined within the pockets, they impose their shapes upon the confining pocket walls in the mid-height of the pockets and produce a ruffle in the flaps of the closing seam, and at the opposite non-seamed end of the spring pocket as well, as the separation of the plies by the expanded spring foreshortens the cloth strip. This results in a slack reach of fabric along the interpocket seam 92 at each end thereof, an effect accentuated somewhat by the barrel shape of the coils 84 specifically illustrated herein. The divergence of adjacent spring coils 84 at their ends resulting from the barrel shape provides convenient access to the strip material which, in the illustrated instance, is welded to the material of the adjacent strip in the corresponding reaches of fabric between two successive coils of each strip, so that in the presently preferred and illustrated form, the adjacent strips are connected together, as at 90 near the tops and bottoms of the coils, but preferably interiorly of the end convolutions thereof. The assembly of springs by connecting the strips together, rather than by connecting the springs, as such, to one another, permits each spring to maintain a considerable degree of individual action before requiring the depression of its neighbors in the clover leaf array, and yet, beyond that point, as in areas of concentrated load under the proportinally heavier parts of the body, or when the spring assembly is highly loaded as by bearing the weight of the occupant in sitting position, the clover leaf connection of four springs together in a closely knit group associates them cooperatively so that each can assist the other to regain the full unloaded height permitted by the confining pocket when the concentrated load is subsequently removed. The pocket material of the preferred assembly is a thermoplastic sheeting, preferably of fibrous material whether or not of continuous filament or staple fiber length, and whether spun and woven, or laid as a non-woven fabric. When the constituent material is thermoplastic, as indicated, the joining technique employed in making the assembly, as well as making the pocketed spring strip itself, may be thermal welding, a localized or spot attachment of adjacent strips being made at or near the end convolutions of the springs along the seam between adjacent pockets in that relatively slack reach of the pocket material provided by the diverging outlines of the barrel-shaped spring coils resulting from the smaller diameter of their respective end convolutions. These connections can readily be made with available welding equipment, and do not appear to interfere materially with compression of the springs individually throughout a substantial portion of their respective heights. Based upon the considerable history of manufacture of pocketed spring coil assemblies wherein the pocket materials were of spun and woven staple fibers of natural origin, the specific mode of attachment of adjacent strips to one another in accordance with the construction may be something specifically different from thermal welding, the ultimate objective being the secure, reliable, and non-destructive attachment of the adjacent strips to one another. This may, for example, take the form of stitching, or twine ties, or metal fasteners such as hogrings, staples, or the like, or an adhesive capable of adequately penetrating the four plies of a textile fabric with or without heat and pressure. It is to be additionally understood that the border or collar portion 14 can be capable of disassembly to enhance its shipment capability. Similarly, border portion 14 herein may contain non-nested pocketed upholstery springs assembled in accordance with Stumpf U.S. Pat. No. 4,234,983 as illustrated in FIGS. 14 and 15, wherein the transverse lines of attachment 110 of the overlaid plies 112 and 114 of the strip 116 to each other to define the spring pockets, as well as the line 118 of attachment which closes the pockets along the side edges of the plies between which the spring was inserted, are formed of discrete individual welds 120 rather than as a continuous weld. It will also be observed that, as illustrated, the individual welds 120 are spaced apart within the line by a distance approximately equal to the length of the individual welds along the line, and, further, that the welds at each end of the transverse lines 110 of welds between the pockets do not intercept either the folded edge 122 of the fabric strip 116 or its overlaid edges 124 between which the spring was inserted. With an interrupted line of thermal welds and using nonwoven polypropylene fabric earlier referred to, a line of interrupted welds each a quarter-inch long and approximately one-eight inch wide and separated from each other by approximately one-quarter inch in the line, exhibits over forty percent (40%) greater resistance to separation of the pocket-forming plies than the identical material sewed on production equipment for the manufacture of pocketed springs by the conventional stitching method, using thread which is conventional for the single-thread interpocket stitching, viz., Number 30-3 soft cotton. While thermal welding in the prescribed pattern may be achieved in a variety of ways, including contact heating and high frequency welding, the ultrasonic welding technique appears to be especially suitable in that the internal induction of heat by its mechanical working of the material is faster than contact heating, and more controllable as well as less dangerous than high-frequency electrostatic methods. Moreover, within limits, any desired pattern of welding can be achieved ultrasonically in this context by suitable modification or the anvil against which the material to be welded is pressed by the welding horn. It is to be understood that the border portion 14 may contain rigid plastic components or foamed plastic cushioning or the like in combination with or in lieu of springs. In accordance with the invention herein, the border or collar portion 14 is provided with at least one fastening means 30, which may be in the form of a slidable fastener such as a zipper or any other conventional fastening means, such as one adapted to form a hook and loop type fastening arrangement or seam such as the one sold under the trademark of Velcro, disposed continuously along periphery of the border 14. A removable and reversible pillow top 36 is provided, most preferably quilted, having a fastening means 37, as hereinbefore described, at its periphery to matingly engage fastener 30. The mattress pillow top may be filled with down or other soft foam-like material which will impart a particularly full and luxurient look and texture to the mattress. The removable pillow top may also be provided with means, such as a flap (not shown) or other means to completely conceal the zipper or fastener 30 and/or 37 from view. Moreover, the pillow top of the present invention is adapted to be completely reversible. That is, both surfaces 39 and 139 of the pillow top 36 are adapted so that either surface (39 or 139) can be used as the top surface. In harmony therewith, the same or different patterns, colors and/or quilting may be utilized for the pillow top surfaces. Furthermore, fastening means 30 and 37 are also so adapted to provide the ready reversibility and fastening of the pillow top. Concomitant with this feature of reversibility, the pillow top may be constructed so as to provide one disposed thereon with varying degrees of firmnesses, plushness, support and the like depending upon the surface of the pillow top which is being used as the top surface. This versatility of comfort may be accomplished, for example, by constructing the pillow top of distinct lamina of varying thickness of foam padding and/or filling, such as down. Thus, in accordance with the present invention, the removable and reversible pillow top 36 herein provides further support and comfort to a person disposed thereon, especially when it is provided with plush padding. It is, of course, understood that the thickness and thus the firmness of the pillow top may be varied by providing more or less padding, or filling, for example, within the lamina or the pillow top 36. In this manner, due to its removable and reversible feature, one can either replace one pillow top with another of different firmness to provide and achieve a different sleeping surface or simply reverse, i.e., flip, the pillow top to provide the same effect. Furthermore, this feature permits ready refreshing of the mattress 10 by simple placement of a soiled or worn pillow top with a new one or by merely reversing the pillow top so that the unsoiled or unworn surface is exposed and the soiled and worn surface becomes hidden. In another embodiment of the present invention, a fastening means 30, again preferably in the form of a zipper, may be similarly disposed along the periphery of the bottom 20 of the border portion 14 for purposes of matingly engaging a similar fastening means 37 along the periphery of a further removable and reversible pillow top thereby rendering even further reversibility to the mattress construction. In a further embodiment herein, a liner 34 may also be provided with a fastening means 35, as hereinbefore described, at the periphery thereof. In this case, border portion 14 is provided with a further fastening means 32, which is also disposed continuously along the top 18 in order to matingly engage the fastener 35. It is to be understood that the liner 34 need not necessarily fully cover the center cavity. That is, the liner 34 may only cover the interface between the border 14 and any core within the center cavity. Such an embodiment offers inherent advantages in that it permits accessibility to the center cavity which allows ready access to the cores as well as providing a smooth transition between the border portion 14 and any core which may be positioned in the center cavity. In such an embodiment, the liner 34 may also be permanently, rather than removably, affixed to the border or collar portion 14. In other embodiments contemplated herein, a heater panel 38 and/or a thin, high density foam pad 40 may be provided and are normally held between the liner 34 and the pillow top 36 as shown in FIG. 3. Additionally, if desired, the mattress arrangement of the present invention may incorporate suitable heating devices; air circulation devices for heating or cooling or the like, which may be suitably held in place by the removable pillow top of the present invention. Within mattress 10, the border portion 14 and pillow top 36 define a cavity therebetween. The cavity is centrally located and is configured to receive at least one mattress core 42 which can have a configuration and construction of wide variety. As illustrated herein, the mattress core or cores 42 are normally of integral construction and are preferably configured to be snugly received by, and completely fill the cavity within the mattress 10. In certain instances, so as to impart to the mattress arrangement a still fuller and more luxuriant look, a unitary piece of foamed material or sponge-like rubber material may also be inserted in the cavity preferably beneath the mattress core. This will cause the center position of the mattress to arc upwardly into a dome appearance, generally referred to as "loft", thereby creating an especially attractive and expensive appearing mattress. In an illustrative embodiment as shown in FIG. 6, two cores 42, 44 each of differing degrees of firmness, can be inserted side-by-side (as, for example, illustrated in FIG. 1d) and held within the cavity thereby adapting the mattress's firmness to allow two people, having different predispositions in regard to firmness, to sleep on the same bed. As examples of the different types of mattress cores, which are contemplated by the present invention, FIG. 4 shows a mattress core which consists entirely of solid polyurethane foam 43. FIG. 5, illustrates a core 46, having outer foam pads 48 with a layer of short coils 50 disposed therebetween and along the midsection thereof. FIG. 6, as mentioned previously, describes an air mattress core 44 which includes an outer, generally imperforate, vinyl bladder 52 and a plurality of vinyl support walls 54 longitudinally disposed therein with air entrapped between the walls 54 to provide a strong rectangular configuration thereto. FIG. 7 illustrates a core 56 having a layer of full spring coils 58 disposed therein. FIG. 8 illustrates two cores 46 and 58, both of which may be simultaneously inserted side-by-side into the cavity thereby providing differing degrees of firmness for two individuals. FIGS. 9 and 10 also illustrate another combination of two different cores which can be inserted into the cavity. FIG. 10 shows full coils 57 and 58, the former being made of a lighter metal gauge than the latter. Finally, FIG. 11 shows a tri-core 60 having foam ends 43 with a group of coils 58 disposed therebetween. It should be understood that any combination of cores is contemplated and that the present invention should not be limited to the specific examples shown in the drawings. It should be appreciated that the mattress of the present invention permits one to, in essence, construct the mattress of one's choice by the insertion of different cores and the use of different pillow tops 36. In this manner, a couple may construct a mattress which includes a foam core for one sleeper and a firm, pocketed spring coil for the other. In the event that a sleeper's preference should change at a later date, all that would be required to be changed would be one particular core rather than the entire mattress. The coils found within the cores of FIGS. 5, and 7 through 11 may, in a particularly preferred embodiment, consist of a rectangular or the so-called "square" array or arrangements of non-nested pocketed spring coils as illustrated, for example, in FIGS. 12-15. The coils found within the cores of FIGS. 5, and 7 through 11 may, in a particularly preferred embodiment, consist of a rectangular or the so-called "square" array or arrangement of non-nested pocketed spring coils as illustrated, for example, in FIGS. 12-15. Thus the coils used therein may be of the type used in the border portion or of any type which effectively provides support to a person resting thereon. In operation, of the bed mattress of the present invention, a user merely unfastens the reversible pillow top 36 either from the top 18 or bottom 20 of the border portion 14. The user then selects one or more appropriate cores 42, in terms of firmness or support, and inserts the one or more cores within the cavity as defined by the border portion. The pillow top 36 is re-fastened, utilizing either side or surface of the pillow top as the top surface, and the mattress is ready to support a person or persons, thereon. From the foregoing, it is apparent that the objects of the present invention have been fully accomplished. As a result of the present invention, a novel bed mattress having a core received therein has been provided. Although a preferred embodiment of the principles of this invention has been described and illustrated in detail herein, it should be realized that the same are not limited to the particular configuration shown in the drawings, and that modifications thereof are contemplated and can be made without departing from the broad spirit and scope of this invention as defined in the appended claims.

Spammers Fake Newsletters Slip by E-Mail Filters
Spammers Fake Newsletters Slip by E-Mail Filters
Matt Hines
Posted 2007-01-19
In the latest ploy to sneak their work past e-mail filters, spammers are stealing content from legitimate newsletters and adding malware, adware and links to phishing sites.
A new technique being employed by malicious spammers is testing the ability of e-mail filtering technologies to tell the difference between legitimate newsletter content and messages bearing unwanted advertisements and hidden links to malware sites. According to researchers at security software market leader Symantec, a new trend is rapidly emerging among bulk spammers where the creators of the annoying and often dangerous messages are disguising their work using real content distributed in genuine electronic newsletters.
By carefully recreating e-mail newsletters and marketing materials sent to customers from well-known sources such as eBay, ESPN and Wal-Mart, spammers have found a new way to circumvent many filtering systems and sneak their work into users in-boxes, said Doug Bowers, senior director of anti-abuse engineering at Symantec.
Very often the fake newsletters look exactly the same as the real thing, with the only difference being the addition of hidden adware or malware code, or more frequently links that direct users to phishing sites that attempt to plant viruses on their computers, he said. While the approach sounds eminently predictable considering the success that malware writers and online fraudsters have had using phishing sites over the last several years, often producing Web destinations that mimic their legitimate counterparts, the emerging spam model is particularly troubling based on all the work administrators and technology providers have already done to help keep authentic e-mail newsletters from being blocked out by their filters.
When spam filters began to gain popularity several years ago, users complained that newsletter and marketing messages they wanted to receive were being unfairly scoured out of their mail, forcing software makers and systems administrators to create new methods for allowing the content. By cutting and pasting real newsletters and spoofing their distribution addresses, spammers are turning those specialized avenues into an effective means of delivering their own work.

to read about a recent exploit that was released for a critical PC hijack flaw.
"Its very analogous to the phishing tactics where the creator makes you think their content is something that it isnt by merely co-opting legitimate content and adding as little as single link to the message to hide their work," Bowers said. "Its created a reversal of a problem from a year or two ago when legitimate mailings were getting flagged as spam; these people are embedding their own message next to reputable brands and getting filters, and end users to fall for it." Among the common types of content used to lure users into opening the spam messages are recreations of newsletters that offer information on health care issues or popular topics such as online fantasy sports leagues.

New Jersey
Written and published within a month of the worst storm to ever hit the New Jersey-New York area, Superstorm Sandy: A Diary in the Dark is a first-person account of one New Jersey resident's 12 days without power or heat in his North Jersey home. The author, William Westhoven, an award-winning New Jersey journalist and author, mixes personal drama and observations with fact-based reporting and a liberal dose of "you have to laugh or you'll cry" humor. His quick work has resulted in the first book to document the arrival of Superstorm Sandy and the immediate recovery period that followed.
"A little slice of spontaneous literature"
Light, dark, dramatic, funny, a fun quick read for a good cause. A realistic study of a comfortable life lost to the wind.

Bruce McCall's Zany Afternoons
by Bruce McCall
by Bruce McCall
My Mother bought me a copy of this book from a discount rack at Shop Rite when I was seven years old. At the time, I was too young to appreciate that this may be the most perfect collection of satire comitted to print. Downright hilarious, gorgeous artwork, Zeppelin shooting, Nazi accessories.... This book warped me for good.

The celebrated author and playwright passed away at his home in Los Angeles after suffering complications from pneumonia.
His Broadway production The Best Man was nominated for a slew of Tony Awards after its 1960 debut, and its current revival, starring Davis, James Earl Jones, Cybill Shepherd and John Stamos, is thrilling New York audiences.
Sex and the City star Davis was stunned by the news of Vidal's death, and she has vowed to make her performance in Wednesday's show extra special in his honour.
In a post on her Twitter.com page, she writes, "Rest in peace our brilliant writer - so sad to loose (sic) him. We will relish his words today in TheBestManBway."
Whoopi Goldberg has also added her own tribute, declaring, "Gore Vidal 1 of the smartest, wittiest minds has left us. Read him if you haven't see his play... (sic)".

The look here is old-time Chicago—oak and brass, black-and-white photographs, and waiters wearing black vests and ties—though the true vintage is late 1990s. We forgive them the ruse because of the well-priced (under $40) Angus steaks, which make this one of the more reasonable top-tier steak houses in town (and one of the most popular for basketball fans heading to the United Center for a game). Orange-sesame glazed salmon or pan-seared scallops are good non-beef
options. Live music lures diners to the lush garden in summer.

The organisational influence on benefits of preventive home visitation programmes for older people has escaped scientific evaluation. This study aims to investigate organisational structures and processes in relation to preventive home visits. As part of a randomised controlled trial investigating whether educational intervention towards municipality health care professionals could enhance active life expectancy, information of municipality leadership, home visit approach, strengths and limitations of communication within the organisation were obtained using individual and focus group interviews. Thirty-four municipalities in four counties participated. Data was systematically condensed using a phenomenological approach upon which general patterns were categorised into a theory-based formal typology of the preventive home visitation management in the municipalities. Three distinct strategies for preventive home visitation programmes were identified. Eighteen municipalities were categorised as "Framework Management", 15 as "Management by Rules" and one as "Project Management". Small municipality size was associated with the "Framework Management" type. "Management by Rules" municipalities had higher population densities and their overall expenses for older people were higher. "Framework Management" municipalities used more resources on preventive home visits, communicated better, experienced less staff changing and had higher social capital than "Management by Rules" municipalities. Municipality structures and management processes of preventive home visitation programmes varied considerably in 34 Danish municipalities, but the majority could be categorised as using either a "Framework Management" or a "Management by Rules" strategy. Each strategy is associated with particular advantages and disadvantages, which may explain differences in the overall benefit of the programme between municipalities.

Markets were supported by news that Spain is closer to asking for an aid. The Financial Times reported that euro officials are in talks with the Spanish government behind the scenes, trying to outline conditions and fiscal reforms for the country, which is needed to acquire a fresh bailout, and that would be enough to trigger the new Outright Monetary Transactions program recently revealed by the ECB. The results for negotiations and the bailout to be unveiled next Thursday as reported by the financial times. The headline was the main catalyst for trading in today's session amid the lack of major economic releases on the calendar.
The EURUSD pared some of the recent losses. After starting the trading session at 1.2972 which is a key support level in the near term, the pair rebounded to print an intraday high at 1.3049 before retreating slightly. I consider the sell-off lately as a mere correction following the sharp incline, where further upside is still seen. The next potential target and resistance level at 1.3075, followed by the recent highs around 1.3160. To the downside, a break below 1.2935 is the key towards a deeper pullback to the 200-days SMA at 1.2820.
