a recent history of stomach or intestinal bleeding;
active bleeding caused by hemophilia or another blood-clotting disorder; or
an allergy to an NSAID (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) such as Advil, Motrin, Aleve, Orudis, Indocin, Lodine, Voltaren, Toradol, Mobic, Relafen, Feldene, and others.
Do not give this medication to a child or teenager with a fever, flu symptoms, or chicken pox. Aspirin and caffeine can cause Reye's syndrome, a serious and sometimes fatal condition in children.
This medicine may cause stomach or intestinal bleeding, which can be fatal. These conditions can occur without warning while you are taking aspirin and caffeine, especially:
if you are age 60 or older;
if you have a stomach ulcer or a history of stomach or intestinal bleeding;
if take a blood thinner (warfarin, Coumadin) or steroid medicine;
if you drink more than 3 alcoholic beverages per day; or
if you take the medicine for longer than recommended.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist if it is safe for you to take this medicine if you have other medical conditions, especially:
any bleeding disorder or stomach problems;
asthma or seasonal allergies;
liver or kidney disease;
gout; or
This medicine may be harmful to an unborn baby's heart, and may also reduce birth weight or have other dangerous effects. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while you are taking aspirin and caffeine.
Aspirin and caffeine can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. You should not breast-feed while using this medicine.
How should I take aspirin and caffeine?
Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
Take with food if aspirin and caffeine upsets your stomach.
Dissolve the powder or effervescent tablet in at least 4 ounces of water. Stir and drink this mixture right away.
If you need surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you are using aspirin and caffeine. You may need to stop using the medicine for a short time.
Do not take this medication if you smell a strong vinegar odor in the aspirin and caffeine bottle. The medicine may no longer be effective.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
What happens if I miss a dose?

What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.
What should I avoid while taking aspirin and caffeine?
If you are taking aspirin and caffeine to prevent heart attack or stroke, avoid also taking ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin). Ibuprofen may make aspirin and caffeine less effective. If you must use both medications, take the ibuprofen at least 8 hours before or 30 minutes after you take the aspirin and caffeine (non-enteric coated form).
Avoid drinking alcohol while you are taking aspirin and caffeine. Alcohol may increase your risk of stomach bleeding.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using any cold or allergy medicine, diet pills, or pain medication. Many medicines available over the counter contain aspirin or caffeine. Taking certain products together can cause you to get too much of this type of medication. Check the label to see if a medicine contains aspirin, ibuprofen, ketoprofen, naproxen, or caffeine.
Ask your doctor before using aspirin and caffeine if you take an antidepressant such as citalopram, escitalopram, fluoxetine (Prozac), fluvoxamine, paroxetine, sertraline (Zoloft), trazodone, or vilazodone. Taking any of these medicines with an NSAID may cause you to bruise or bleed easily.
What other drugs will affect aspirin and caffeine?
Other drugs may interact with aspirin and caffeine, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Tell each of your health care providers about all medicines you use now and any medicine you start or stop using.

A defamation lawsuit against the former president of the BC teachers' union by a Chilliwack school trustee has been dismissed before it even got to trial.
Trustee Barry Neufeld had filed a defamation suit against Glen Hansman, who at the time was the president of the B.C. Teachers' Federation. He launched the suit in October 2018 after Hansman responded in the media to Neufeld's statements on the controversial SOGI 123.
In response, Hansman filed his own suit through the Protection of Public Participation Act (PPPA), claiming Neufeld is a public figure and was open to being criticized without threat of defamation. That was heard in July 2o19, and a court date for the defamation suit was tentatively set for this December.
But that case won't be happening now.
Justice A. Ross released his decision on Wednesday, saying that his decision has "nothing to do with 'correctness' of either party's position on that issue (SOGI 123)."
He noted the intent of the PPPA legislation is "to screen out actions that have the effect of limiting a defendant's participation in public debate. In that respect, the PPPA seeks to balance the rights of individuals to protect their reputations against the obvious benefit to a democratic society of protecting free speech and rigorous debate on issues of public interest."
Hansman argued that he had every right to speak out against Neufeld's comments, which he said harmed him and the LGBTQ community. Hansman is openly gay. Neufeld said that Hansman's comments were made in malice, and harmed him as well.
Neufeld did not prove to the court, the judge stated, that substantial damage had been done to his reputation. He called Neufeld's evidence "skeletal at best." Neufeld did also win a following election and remains on the Chilliwack school board.
Furthermore, one of the most controversial statements made by Neufeld were on a Facebook post in which he concedes he was posting "at the risk of being labelled a bigotted homophobe."
Some of the things Hansman said about Neufeld in the time of the SOGI 123 debates included calling him transphobic, saying he should be removed from public office, and nowhere near students.
But in the end, Ross sided with Hansman's argument for public debate.
"I have further found that the PPPA requires me to balance the seriousness of the harm suffered by the plaintiff (Neufeld) and the public interest in continuing the proceeding against the public interest in protecting the defendant's (Hansman) expression. The plaintiff has an interest in claiming damages and clearing his good name. However, the public has an interest in protecting expressions that relate to public debate. In balancing those interests, I find that the interest in public debate outweighs the interest in continuing the proceeding on these facts."
Ross's decision now means that Neufeld's defamation case will not go through. This was reportedly the first time the so called "anti-SLAPP" legislation has been tested in court.
Story is developing. More to come.

TOKYO (AP) — Tokyo residents were elated on Sunday after it was announced the Japanese capital had beaten out rivals Istanbul and Madrid in the race to host the 2020 Olympics.
Long considered a slight favorite, Tokyo beat out Istanbul in the final round of voting at the International Olympic Committee meeting in Buenos Aires. Madrid was eliminated in the first round.
Even though it was 5 a.m., a gathering of 1,200 dignitaries and Olympic athletes crammed into at a convention hall in downtown Tokyo to celebrate the news. Cheers of "Banzai" filled the hall when the announcement was made that Tokyo had won.
Tokyo had been on the defensive in the final days of the campaign amid mounting concerns about the leak of radioactive water from the Fukushima nuclear plant.

March 20, 2013 — -- The seven Marines killed in a training exercise explosion in Nevada this week ranged in age from 19 to 26, most of them veterans of the war in Afghanistan, the military said in announcing their identities this evening.
"We send our prayers and condolences to the families of the Marines and sailors who have been killed and injured in this tragic accident," said Brig. Gen. Jim Lukeman, 2nd Marine Division commanding general, in the written announcement. "Our first priority is to provide them with the support they need during this very difficult time, and we're doing that right now."
The victims were identified as:
Five of the seven joined the Marines in June 2010, with Wild a Marine since October 2010 and Ripperda since September 2008.
Vanderwork's mother, Melissa, told ABC News affiliate WSOC-TV that she had a special bond with her son.
"He was truly my best friend. Not only my son but my best friend and my hero," Melissa Vanderwork said as she fought back tears. "He wanted to see the world," she added.
Chip Watts, Mason Vanderwork's high school football coach, called him a "team player" and a tough individual.
"Pure tenacity. Work ethic. Desire. Whatever the kid did, he did it 100 mph," Watts told WSOC.
VIDEO: 7 Marines Killed in Training Exercise Identified
Late Tuesday, the seven fallen Marines, all from the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force in Camp Lejeune, N.C., were honored at a memorial service in the small military town of Hawthorne, Nev.
Flags flew at half-staff as hundreds gathered to pay their respects to the Marines, who were killed when a powerful 60mm mortar exploded in a tube during a training exercise.
"For those guys to lose their lives the way they did, in a training exercise, it was horrible," Michael Aulet said Tuesday night at the vigil.
Many in Hawthorne said they heard the sirens and medical helicopters flying in to rescue the Marines. The explosion occurred at the Hawthorne Army Depot 140 miles southeast of Reno Monday when a mortar round exploded in a tube at 9:55 p.m. MT.
The Marines have issued a suspension on the use of all 60mm mortars and their associated tubes while they conduct a review of what caused a round to explode. The suspension will affect mortars used both in training and in deployed settings.
Eight others were also injured in the blast and transported Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno for injuries that included trauma fractures and vascular injuries, hospital spokeswoman Stacy Kendall told ABC News Tuesday.
"I feel sorry for those families. We'll try to do as much as we can for them," Maria Lohand said, who works at the Army Depot and has children in the military.
Hawthorne has a population of approximately 3,000 people, with many personally connected to the military.
"This is Hawthorne. This is what Hawthorne's about. When something happens here we all band together," Michael Sours, a veteran, said at the vigil.

Louis Delmas was one of the signature players of the Jim Schwartz era: talented, inconsistent and a little reckless.
It only makes sense that Delmas is an ex-Lion now that Schwartz is gone. The official team site reported Thursday that Delmas was released, saving $6 million against the salary cap.
The move comes on the same day the Lions cut wide receiver Nate Burleson, as the team moves forward into the Jim Caldwell era. New defensive coordinator Teryl Austin namechecked Delmas at his introductory press conference, but the Lions apparently decided that Delmas didn't fit the team's new scheme.
The news comes as a mild surprise to some in Detroit. (But not to Around The League's Kevin Patra, who predicted this move was coming. Boom.)
Delmas becomes one of the more interesting defensive free agents available. He's struggled to stay healthy as a pro, but was able to start all 16 games last year. His tendency to go for a big hit instead of playing the ball often betrayed him, and he wasn't quite worth his salary. Still, he's a slightly above average starter that remains in his prime.
There aren't many strong safeties like him left in the NFL, and he will be a starter somewhere in 2014.
On the latest edition of the "Around The League Podcast," the guys huddle with Seahawks trio Michael Robinson, Brandon Mebane and Red Bryant before unpacking Cleveland's week of chaos.

Tickets go on sale this Tuesday (September 2nd) for a special dinner-and-a-movie event at the Metropolitan Entertainment Centre in Winnipeg, celebrating the 40th anniversary of Brian De Palma's Phantom Of The Paradise. The event will take place November 1st, with a cocktail reception at 5:30pm, a buffet-style dinner at 6pm, and the movie itself at 7:30pm.
Phantompalooza's Gloria Dignazio tells the Winnipeg Free Press' Randall King that she brought her personal copy of the Blu-ray to the Met to test it out. King writes that she "was thrilled to note how much the refurbished Donald Street venue actually resembles the 'Paradise' of the film, especially in the scene in which Gerrit Graham's glam buffoon Beef is electrocuted onstage." Dignazio then adds, "It's gorgeous. The theatre has got two balconies on either side (of the screen) and we're actually going to put the Phantom mannequin up there in one of them. It's going to be pretty cool."
(Thanks to Rod!)
Meanwhile, Glenn Kenny posted a Blu-ray consumer guide on his Some Came Running blog, and included a capsule review of Scream Factory's Phantom set:
The most eccentric of Brian De Palma's '70s films, and if that sounds like a "and that's saying something" kind of pronouncement, it sure is. But watch this and try to tell me I'm wrong. This new transfer has a very neon bright look, which seems appropriate to the pop art material. It is very different from the French version I got a few years back, which is much more subdued. And I never got the Arrow edition, which is apparently more subdued still. In any event, I like this garish version, makes the whole thing play like the sick live-action cartoon it at least partially is. And is also subjectively attractive to me. There's a huge number of extras here, some more disciplined/informative than others. The De Palma interview is a real keeper. This is not a universally beloved movie—I saw a film critter of high standing, and not even a psychotronic-averse one, condemn it as "awful" on the Twitter machine just the other day—but if you DO love it, this is the edition to get. Guess where I sit on the issue. —A

SYDNEY (REUTERS) - Mining mogul Nathan Tinkler is selling Australia's largest thoroughbred racing and stud empire as he struggles to pay off debts and raise funds for court battles.
The young entrepreneur is asking around A$200 million (S$258 million) for Patinack Farm and potential buyers include Chinese parties, according to a source close to the sale, who was not authorised to speak publicly.
Tinkler has splashed out more than A$300 million on Patinack, the fulfillment of a long-held dream for the horse racing fan, since establishing it in 2007.
The Australian's decision to put his beloved horse business on the sales block will likely add to fevered speculation about just how deeply the 37-year-old is in debt.
Mr Tinkler has swung from his position as Australia's youngest billionaire to faltering debtor in just a few months after his undiversified portfolio was left heavily exposed to plummeting coal prices.
His main asset, a 19.4 per cent stake Whitehaven Coal Ltd , has shrunk in value from more than A$2 billion at its peak last year to just over A$400 million.
Sources have told Reuters that Mr Tinkler owes A$600 million against that stake to his main backer, US hedge fund manager Farallon Capital Management LLC's asset manager Noonday.
Noonday, which heads the loan consortium that includes Credit Suisse Group AG, has been looking at options including pressing for the sale of shares or converting some of the loans into equity, sources have told Reuters.
Mr Tinkler is also the target of several lawsuits to recover millions more in unpaid debts, the most prominent of which is A$28.4 million being sought by junior coal explorer Blackwood Corp Ltd over an agreed share placement deal.
Mr Tinkler, who now lives in Singapore, told an Australian court last month that his taxable income in 2010/2011 was just A$9,834 and he drew funds from an A$1.4 billion trust held in the name of his wife.
He said on Tuesday divesting Patinack would allow the Tinkler Group to focus on its core operations of resources, port and rail infrastructure and property.
"As I am spending more time overseas, I do not have the time to manage the business," he said in an emailed statement.
Mr Tim Bennett, a partner at Ernst & Young, which has been tasked with an international marketing program for the sale, said it is expected to take several months with interest from local and overseas buyers.
Mr Tinkler has already sold off hundreds of broodmares and stallions in a series of unreserved auctions that attracted largely discounted prices.
The business still has more than 1,000 horses and 150 staff.
Buyers at an auction in Queensland last October told Reuters Tinkler had built up Patinack too quickly, amid reports his major stables had run out of feed and the business was struggling to raise entry fees for its stallions for major races.
Australian media reported late last year that Mr Tinkler tried to offload the entire business at a loss to a Qatari sheikh.
Tinkler's spending spree on Patinack included A$19 million on 59 horses at a single annual yearling sale.
"I've always been a fan of the horses and stuff and I suppose it's probably got a bit out of hand, but it's good fun and I enjoy it," Mr Tinkler said in a rare TV interview in 2011.
Mr Tinkler has in recent months sold off many of the trappings of his quickly-found wealth, including a luxury car collection, while liquidators have seized his private jet and helicopter.
But he retains his other personal passions - the rugby league and soccer teams of Newcastle, his adopted hometown north of Sydney.

How the NHS was lost
Here is a recent editorial by Jacky Davis for the NHS Consultants' Association newsletter:
It's worth recalling why it matters so much. This legislation is a bottle of snake oil, it doesn't do anything it promises on the label. Cuts costs? No, costs will rise, with the ever increasing financial burden of marketised care not to mention £3 billion+ for the 'reforms' themselves. Cuts bureaucracy? No, it replaces 3 layers with 7 and the CEO of the NHS Confederation has recently warned of a 'tsunami of bureaucracy'. Gives power to patients? No, patients will have less choice than ever thanks to management referral centres, reduced treatments, and the limited choice already present in some parts of the country where the private sector has taken over.
It certainly doesn't give power to doctors and front line staff. GPs will be answering to CSUs run by private companies and in London GPs have already been forced to pay for commissioning 'support' from the private sector. Management consultants like McKinsey have made millions so far and are anticipating many more millions to come. At the same time GPs are taking the blame for massive cuts in budget and we are already seeing headlines blaming doctors for service cuts and for denying care to patients.
So the H&SC Act represents a massive redisorganisation of the service, so huge that according to the Big Beast himself, Sir David Nicholson (CEO of the NHS) it could be seen from outer space. How was it possible that such unwanted, undemocratic and destructive legislation could get through against the opposition of the profession? Part of the answer must be that there was a dreadful failure of medical leadership and much of the blame lies at the door of our representative bodies.
Many GPs were unfortunately but understandably attracted by the idea of commissioning while failing to notice that it came accompanied by less attractive elements including the drive to outsource any and all NHS services to the private sector. The BMA, with GPs in the driving seat, pronounce the bill to be a 'curate's egg', good in parts and announced that they would have the tasty bits and manage the rest, thus fatally missing the point of the tale of the curate's egg. Once part of the egg is rotten the whole thing is inedible and this is as true for the HSCB. It is woven of whole cloth, without the possibility of taking up the attractive parts (if indeed there ever were any) while rejecting the rest.
The Royal Colleges, with a couple of honourable exceptions, were the dog that didn't bark in the night. Not a sound was heard from most of them on a matter which would massively affect their members. They kept their heads down, discussing instead (in the case of my own college) important matters such as the move to a new building rather than legislation which would affect every aspect of their remit i.e. teaching, training and standards.
Finally in desperation at their silence several campaigners, led by David Wrigley, a GP from Cumbria, set up a website to encourage college members to formally request emergency meetings of their college so that they could call for opposition. The resistance of college officials to this move was a sight to behold, and many interesting conversations took place with people to whom it had clearly never occurred that the members might notice what was going on (or not going on ) at college HQ, and what's more might have the temerity to question it. I'll forever treasure the memory of a phone call to someone at the RCS to say that we had enough members signed up to call for an emergency meeting. 'But I've never heard of you' was the bad tempered response. Well you have now and what's more we have the requisite number of names to request a meeting. The great and the good who represent us did not appreciate being called to account.
Once called to account almost all the colleges found themselves faced with overwhelming demands for opposition to the bill from their members. Even then there were delaying tactics but the message had gone out to the media that doctors were united in their opposition to the legislation. Unfortunately by then it was too late to stop the bill.
So are the prophets of doom right, and is the NHS in England facing extinction? Well, the news coming in is not good and already we are seeing the vultures circling the NHS. Significant contracts have already gone to transnational corporations like Virgin and Serco, the biggest company you have never heard of. Virgin picked up community services in Surrey, where presumably patient choice now consists of Virgin or Virgin, and also 'integrated children's services' in Devon. As far as I know they have no experience of providing the latter but that doesn't seem to matter in the brave new world of outsourcing public services. The core business of these transnational companies is in winning government contracts regardless of what they are for. They have the experience, the legal expertise, and the deep pockets to allow loss leaders if necessary and it is simply unrealistic to think that small charities and social enterprises can take on these huge companies and win.
Once they have the contract they then put together the package, and the word is out that community paediatricians are being urgently sought, presumably to fulfil Virgin's new contract in Devon. It has been said that G4S, awarded the security contract for the Olympics, expected to take on operatives and deploy them 3 days later. This is no way to run any public service let alone the NHS and the G4S Olympic fiasco certainly seems to have alerted at least some in government to the dangers of outsourcing public services. Vital public services like the NHS can't just simply be allowed to disappear, and if private providers fail or walk away when profits don't materialise then the government has to step in. The result is that profits are privatised while risk is socialised, a convenient scenario for the private sector but a recipe for disaster for the tax payer, the NHS and those who rely on it.
Meanwhile the 'Nicholson challenge' of 'saving' £20 billion makes a nonsense of promises that there would be no cuts to NHS services, and thousands of front line jobs have been lost already. And as longer and longer lists of treatments are excluded from the NHS menu as part of these McKinsey-driven "efficiency savings" fewer people will be offered an acceptable choice; instead many will have to choose between pain and discomfort or paying privately. Personal health budgets (PHBs) are another ideological move, designed to facilitate the path to top ups and co-payments while allowing top slicing by 20% to cope with the financial constraints. Martin McKee's article in the BMJ described how the Dutch are moving away from PHBs while we are rushing to embrace them – yet another example of policy based evidence making?
There are too many other depressing stories related to the cuts and the 'reforms' to describe them all but you might like to consider that criminals can now run the NHS that NHS patients will be able to 'self fund', the role of the media during the listening pause, predictions about the privatisation of hospitals, how patients lost their sight at a private centre, and the scandal of over treatment in the USA to chose but a few. And if you want more where those came from please follow Clive (@clivepeedell), myself (@DrJackyDavis) and KONP (@keepnhspublic) on Twitter. People who don't tweet often think that it is just about what Wayne Rooney did last night but if you ignore the celebrity trivia it is a wonderful campaigning tool. Depending on who you follow you can get all the news, articles and low down on health and medical politics and never need know what Madonna had for breakfast. Try it, you'll be pleasantly surprised, but - health warning – it is dangerously addictive.
On an up note the Olympics provided some great bread and circuses entertainment and Danny Boyle became an instant NHS hero when he featured the NHS during the opening ceremony. Needless to say Tory MPs immediately saw a conspiracy, but most recognised a genuine wish to celebrate one of this country's greatest institutions, even while we are in danger of losing it.
Talking about great institutions and sporting achievements, the award of Hero of the Year goes to my Co Chair Clive who distinguished himself by running from Nye Bevan's statue in Cardiff to the DoH in London, an unbelievable feat which required 6 marathons in 6 days. We salute him and his running partner Dr David Wilson both of whom spent a great deal of time in ice baths, although with or without added gin and tonic is not reported. They were helped along the way by the indefatigable Chris Burns Cox who provided transport, logistical support (and possibly the gin). Read about it here. Hypocrite of the Year award was a difficult decision as ever but probably goes to the Coalition government for rubbishing the NHS at home while selling its brand abroad. But there were plenty of other contenders for the title.
The year has been a busy one for your officers, with many public talks, articles, letters in the paper and arm wrestling with more conservative institutions. Thanks go as ever to our equally indefatigable president Peter Fisher, without whom the organisation would not survive let alone prosper, and to you, our members, whose subs allow us to help our sister organisations KONP and the NHS Support Federation in their important campaigning work. More members mean more money and perhaps if you do one thing to help the NHSCA in the next year it should be recruiting at least 2 new members. And meanwhile be thankful you're not running 6 marathons...

Microsoft today issued 13 security updates, one less than expected, that patched 19 vulnerabilities in Windows, Internet Explorer (IE), Office, and Windows Media Player.
The company punted on one bulletin it had planned to deliver today after SAP told it that the patch broke some of its software.
"The bulletin scheduled to address Security Advisory 2588513 was postponed due to a third-party application compatibility issue that will be addressed by the vendor, with whom we're working directly," Jerry Bryant, group manager in Microsoft's Trustworthy Computing team, said in a statement.
The scrubbed security update was to fix the SSL (secure socket layer) 3.0 and TLS (transport layer security) 1.0 bug demonstrated in September 2011 by researchers who crafted a hacking tool dubbed BEAST, for "Browser Exploit Against SSL/TLS."
SAP, the German developer that creates enterprise business operations and management software, was the third-party vendor who reported compatibility problems. Microsoft added that it would rather pull a bulletin than "ship something that might inconvenience customers."
Microsoft did patch the vulnerability exploited by the Duqu intelligence-gathering Trojan, however; that flaw had been the subject of an advisory the company issued in early November after news broke of what some called a possible precursor to the next Stuxnet , the ultra-sophisticated worm that sabotaged Iran's nuclear program in 2010.
That update -- Microsoft calls them "bulletins" -- was one of three rated "critical," the company's top threat ranking. The remaining 10 were labeled "important," the next-lowest rating.
Microsoft called out the Duqu update, MS11-087, and another, MS11-092, as the ones customers should apply first. The latter affects Windows Media Player, Microsoft's audio-video-rich content utility.
Several security experts agreed with Microsoft's assessment of MS11-087 .
"Duqu had to be at the top of the list, even though it was a very targeted attack," said Andrew Storms, director of security operations at nCircle Security.
"Now that they've patched the vulnerability, we'll have lots of people reverse engineering the patch to weaponize a drive-by exploit," said Wolfgang Kandek, chief technology officer at Qualys.
Duqu attacks uncovered this fall relied on malicious Word documents fed to victims as email attachments. But today Microsoft acknowledged that the underlying vulnerability could also be exploited using browser-based attacks.
In a post to Microsoft's Security & Defense Research blog, Chengyun Chu and Jonathan Ness, engineers at the Microsoft Security Response Center, noted an until-now-undisclosed "browser-based attack vector" via IE.
Jason Miller, of VMware's research and development team, warned that other browsers might be vulnerable to such attacks, too. For that reason and others, Miller expected hackers to eagerly dig into the Duqu fix.
"Microsoft dug deeper into the vulnerability, and discovered more attack vectors [than Word] because they are privy to the source code," Miller said, praising Microsoft's work. "But if I'm an attacker and I know Duqu was effective, I'd look into whether it could affect multiple browsers. That would give me an even bigger attack vector to use."
The other bulletin Microsoft put on its patch-now list was MS11-092, which fixes a single critical bug in Windows Media Player.
Storms and Kandek echoed Microsoft's stance.
"Windows Media Player's [vulnerability] is a drive-by," said Storms, referring to attacks that only require users to steer their browser to a site hosting malicious content to be successful.
But Miller disagreed. "The file extension [that contains the vulnerability] is not a common one," Miller said. "I'd expect it to be blocked at the firewall by most machines."
Instead, Miller championed MS11-099, a three-patch update for IE, as a must-do -- even though Microsoft rated it as important, a departure from the critical ranking browser updates usually receive. "Any IE vulnerability scares me because browsers are the most-used attack vector," said Miller.
But Storms and Kandek both downplayed the need to immediately apply the IE fixes.
"It's probably the only time that an IE update hasn't been rated critical," said Storms. "But there are no memory corruption vulnerabilities that can be exploited by remote code, so we're not looking a critical release."
Two of the IE bugs were tagged as information disclosure flaws, while the third was yet another in a series of vulnerabilities grouped under the "DLL load hijacking" classification.
DLL load hijacking, sometimes referred to as "binary pre-loading," describes a category of bugs that can be exploited by tricking an application into loading a malicious file with the same name as a required dynamic link library, or DLL. Microsoft patched two DLL load hijacking bugs today -- the other was in PowerPoint 2007 and 2010 on Windows and PowerPoint 2008 on Mac -- making an even 20 load hijacking-related updates it has issued since November 2010.
Other bulletins caught the eye of some experts, but not all.
Kandek, for example, flagged MS11-089 , a one-patch update for Word 2007 and 2010 on Windows, and Word 2011 on Mac.
"Office vulnerabilities are always important to patch, even if an exploit requires that the user open a file to trigger it," said Kandek. "It's very common for users to open Word documents," he said, citing several examples of targeted attacks, including a March hack of RSA Security and the Duqu attacks that began last spring, which succeeded by dangling malicious Word or Excel files in front of users.
The patch in MS11-089 was the first-ever by Microsoft for the .docx file format, an XML-based format that Microsoft debuted in Office 2007 in late 2006.
Microsoft also patched bugs in other software and Windows components, ranging from the Publisher program to Active Directory.
Not surprisingly, all three researchers commented on Microsoft pulling the BEAST-related patch at the last minute. Storms was the most positive about the move.
"If nothing else, this calls out the extensive testing that they do," said Storms. "They've been criticized for slow release cycles in the past, but they'll probably point to this in the future and say, 'Hey, look, this works.'"
It's not a total surprise that Microsoft gives major third-party vendors like SAP an early look at updates for just this reason, said Storms, although Microsoft hasn't actually publicized that practice.
"It's certain that a subset of vendors get the patches early, although they won't say who," noted Storms. "But they're much better off releasing early to vendors that have their own labs to test out."
December's security patches -- with the exception of MS11-088 -- can be downloaded and installed via the Microsoft Update and Windows Update services, as well as through Windows Server Update Services.
The MS11-088 update, which affects only Chinese users of Word 2010 -- is currently available only through a manual download from Microsoft's download center. "The update will also be provided through our other standard distribution methods once testing has been completed to ensure distribution will be successful through these channels," Microsoft said in the accompanying write-up of the vulnerability.

On Tuesday, in front of a small crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium, the inconsistent Serbian Ana Ivanoivc had an early lead on Victoria Azarenka in the fourth round at the U.S. Open. At the end of a 14-shot rally late in the first set, Ivanovic slapped a weak forehand into the net.
"Come on!" screamed Azarenka, a Belarusian, as she went up in the listless sixth game, 40-30.
"She's had more come ons—I think three—than winners, zero," said Pam Shriver, the ESPN analyst.
Azarenka's come on was a little weird, from a certain perspective. It wasn't exactly a pivotal point in the match. She wasn't playing off the cresting emotions of the crowd, which in fact was dead silent. Out of context, it was a strange, inner-directed burst of emotion. But out here, it was just fine.
Over the past 10 days, the tennis campus in Flushing Meadows has been the world capital of come on. Walk the grounds and you'll hear a player say it. Flip on the U.S. Open women's semifinals today for a few minutes and one will pop out. Nationality, gender, rank, age—come on knows few bounds, except maybe language, in which case there's also vamos or allez.
"Other day, I heard it in the second point of a match," said the tennis journalist Pete Bodo. "The second point of the match! 'Come on!' That's not uncommon."
"It's just what everybody shouts," said Judy Murray, mother of Wimbledon champion Andy Murray, who said that her son is "definitely" a come on man.
"It's become the catchphrase of the tour," said Mary Carillo, the veteran tennis broadcaster for CBS and the Tennis Channel.
"I can't think of any other comparable chant or cheer or charge in any other sport," said Ted Robinson, the longtime tennis announcer for NBC and the radio play-by-play guy for the 49ers.
Why do players say this, exactly? How did this weird phrase become the catchphrase? Don't ask them.
"I guess I do say it, yeah. As far as why? I don't know," said John Isner, the top-ranked American in the world. "Maybe someone started that trend—even Roger says come on. Rafa, too. Maybe it just rolls off the tongue well, I don't know."
"I don't think about it. It just happens," said Melanie Oudin, the 21-year-old who was the sweetheart of the 2009 U.S. Open. "One time, I know they counted how many times I said it, especially the year I did well here. I know I said it a lot. When I played Maria [Sharapova in 2009], I saw somewhere how many come ons we said—who had the most come ons—and I had more than she did. It was like at least—at least—25."
"Yeah, I say it, but I don't know what it is," said Milos Raonic, the 22-year old who's ranked No. 11 and widely expected to become tennis's next big thing. "I think growing up, it's the reaction you saw on TV, then you did it as a kid, and then it falls into habit."
But where did he hear it first on TV? How did this all start? That was a head-scratcher.
"Sampras didn't really say it," he said, thinking out loud. "I can't see him really—"
He trailed off.
The players might be a little lost, but there's something approaching consensus among the elders of tennis world.
"I think Lleyton Hewitt was the first one to start doing it," said Brad Gilbert, the former player and current coach and ESPNer.
"I don't know who's first, but for some reason when you said come on, the first name that jumped to my mind was Lleyton Hewitt," said Robinson.
"Hewitt," said Carillo. "I think the genesis of come on—at least he made it big."
So what does the 32-year-old two-time Grand Slam champion have to say about starting a trend that has swept the game?
"I'm not sure," Hewitt told me. "It's just something that came out. I play with a lot of emotion on the court. So, yeah, it just started as a kid in junior tournaments and then I kept doing it on the tour."
But you did it. You were the father of come on.
"Nah, obviously you would hear Jimmy Connors and guys getting themselves pumped up on the court," he said. "That's just how I play on tennis. I don't know. The word was probably used quite a bit before my time."
Was it? Let's ask the 68-year-old Brit Virginia Wade, who won her first Grand Slam at the 1968 U.S. Open.
"Yeah, I'm sure I did it," she told me the other day in the player's garden, outside Arthur Ashe Stadium. A friend of hers was skeptical. Did you really say it? she asked.
"It wasn't, 'Yeah, come on!'" Wade said, faux-shouting. "It was very much"—she started whispering, all British-like—"a 'come on.'"
Come on was more than likely murmured here and there, with Hewitt being the one to turn it into an act of theatrical expression. But in the last five years, the giants of the game have ramped it up to such a degree that the younger players think this is just what you do.
"When I was little, I remember watching the Williams sisters, and I know they definitely said it," said Oudin.
"I think Roger's the one who brought the trend to the forefront because it was so unusual for him to do anything," said Bodo. "And he's such a gentleman. When other people saw Federer say come on, the more well mannered players said, 'Well, if Roger can do it, why can't I?'"
There's hard evidence to back the point; the most famous players of this generation say it often enough for there to be YouTube compilations. Here's one for Federer. Here's one for the Williams sisters. And here's one for Maria Sharapova.
By now, come on isn't even exclusively an English phrase; Azarenka and Federer certainly aren't the only foreign players using it. How many others do it?
"What's really interesting to me how it's become a kind of esperanto in the game," said Bodo. "You see these freakin' Spanish guys and Bulgarian girls saying come on!"
"I always found it funny when people say it from different countries," said Lindsay Davenport, the three-time Grand Slam champion, who retired in 2010. "I remember playing a Japanese opponent—I don't remember who it was—a very quiet, sweet girl and being so stunned one time when she yelled out come on against me. I didn't know she spoke English. She yelled it!"
A strange corollary is the adoption of vamos as a sort of rival phrase. As Isner said, Rafael Nadal—who usually goes with vamos—will belt out a come on from time to time. And sometimes it works the other way around.
"You hear a lot of players shouting come on but you will also hear players shouting vamos who are not Spanish," said Judy Murray. Nick McCarvel, a freelance tennis writer, recalls Ana Ivanovic using vamous after she began dating Fernando Verdasco.
"Vamos is international," said Tracy Austin, the two-time U.S. Open champion. "You see people like [Svetlana] Kuznetsova say vamos."
"She trained in Spain," replied Carillo, who was sitting with Austin at the Tennis Channel studio in Arthur Ashe Stadium.
"She did, but it's funny hearing a Russian say vamos," replied Austin.
At least that's clear! Some players are taking their come ons—or substitute phrases—and turning them into nonsensical grunts.
"Sharapova's working on a daily double," said Bodo, who's been covering the game for four decades. "She's got the horrible scream plus the really desperate comeonnnn. It doesn't even sound like come on! It sounds like something else."
"You used to be able to hear, like, 'Come. On.' Now it's just like a yell," said McCarvel. "[Petra] Kvitova is famous for this. She'll say pojd—which is come on in Czech—and it comes out as prruhhh, and you're just like, 'Wait, what?'"
Strange customs are starting to grow around come on and its foreign variants. Last month, at the Rogers Cup in Canada, for example, Sara Errani—an Italian—was playing the Frenchwoman Alize Cornet. Late in the second set, Cornet won a point off an Errani error and muttered a quiet vamos. Errani, a workhorse who's known for a cool temper, was pissed. Bad etiquette! A French person should not be saying vamos!
"Why you say vamos?" Errani screamed over the net. "Say allez. Why you say vamos? You never say vamos and today you say vamos."
Errani and Cornet aren't the only ones quarreling over involved points of come on etiquette. The beef between Sloane Stephens and Serena Williams? That started with a come on controversy, too. At an Australian Open tune-up in January, Williams won a critical point at the net. She pumped her fist. She shouted come on.
Stephens didn't like this. Right after the point, if you read her lips, she said, "Disrespectful." This tournament has a quirky rule that allows for on-court coaching. Stephens repeated her complaint to her coach.
"Those come ons were just disrespectful," Stephens told her coach. "They're just disrespectful."
"You can belt a few if you want, ya know?" her coach replied. "There ain't nothing wrong with that. If the timing's right, ya know?"
The chair called time.
Stephens's coach then said, unwittingly, "All right kid, come on."
These people don't even know that they're saying it.
Not every come on is the same. There are two main come ons, really. There's the one that's all about getting a tennis player pumped up. As Raonic told me: "I think come on after a good point." He added that he'll say it to "pump myself up." This, by far, is the most commonly used version. It's self-exhortation: Look at that great shot. I needed that!
And then there's the other way to use it: to play mind games.
"A lot of these come ons, they're trying to send a message to their opponent," said Austin. "And there are some who say come on and they're almost in the face of the opponent—I still have trouble with that. Their opponent misses a shot in the net and they're like, Come on! It's like a challenge."
"A lot of this is, unconsciously, to intimidate," said Bodo.
The most notorious come on—"the most infamous come on," Carillo says—was during the 2011 U.S. Open women's final, when Williams was playing Sam Stosur. Williams, whether to intimidate, whether to pump herself up, shouted it out before the point was over. It started a meltdown. Williams lost the point and fought with the chair. ("Aren't you the one that screwed me over last time?") Williams wound up losing in straight sets to Stosur, a shocker.
Whatever their purpose, come on and vamos and allez are now simply a part of tennis, just as surely as a blue court and a yellow ball are a part of tennis. Why? The answer to that question requires a circuitous trip back to days that were, in their way, both more demure and rather less.
Let's start with the modest part first. Did people scream come on in the '70s, '80s, or '90s?
"No," said Austin.
"There was no talking!" Carillo said.
"There was no talking," Austin agreed. "You were not demonstrative like that. It was something that for me, I must say, because I'm kind of a traditionalist, it's been something for me to get used to. Now it's so prevalent—Allez! Come on! Everything else. No, I never said anything. I didn't say a word."
"We had a bunch of old tiebreaks that we were showing during the delay," Carillo said. (She was talking about old tennis matches CBS showed during a rain delay during Monday's telecast.) "Nobody did it. Pete didn't say anything. Even Connors. He didn't emote to himself—he played to the crowd. He didn't have to tell himself to come on."
She continued: "Connors played to the camera once or twice, sure, but we showed Tracy, we showed Capriati and Seles and Chris and Martina and Pete, and it was quiet! The racquets did the talking. It was amazing."
They were quiet, but they were also much crazier, too.
"It's funny, Connors used to complain about how they're gonna drive personality out of the game with all these rules and all that stuff—you know, the reaction to McEnroe and Connors," said Bodo. "I think he was right, but I think what they've done in a weird way is internalized it. So now all that stuff that maybe at one point would have been externalized with linespeople and the crowd or whatever—McEnroe throwing sawdust in the guy's face, Connors shaking the umpire's stand, Nastase screaming at a linesperson—it's all self-contained now, that's the only vehicle. It's the only outlet, in a sense."
Tennis was a crazy sport back then. McEnroe was throwing sawdust in patron's faces. Nastase? Here's a bit from a 1976 UPI piece on the U.S. Open. It described Nastase as a "fiery Romanian" who "blasted one ball at a courtside photographer, smashed a few others at the umpire, cursed the linesmen relentlessly, spat at Hans-Jurgen Pohmann after beating him, tried to climb a fence to get at a young heckler and nearly fought with Pohmann in the locker room."
If those things aren't exactly done anymore—remember just how much people freaked out at Serena Williams for screaming at a lineswoman at the U.S. Open four years ago—tennis players still have lots of crazy energy. They've just diverted it all into a two-word phrase, a controlled explosion.
"The difference is that kind of emotive explosiveness has been now been channeled into what is an acceptable method," Bodo continued. "Very honestly, it's more acceptable to the crowd and the observers in general—the crowd and the pundits—to see these idiotic come ons every two points than it was to see Connors tell someone to suck his dick."
When I asked Isner how often he says come on, he said often enough and added: "So long as it's not a cuss word."
So, come on. An odd two-word phrase started by Lleyton Hewitt, adopted by a few greats, that's spread to every single player in the game, to be shouted and barked and screamed all match long. We're stuck with it now, right?
"This all built up incrementally," said Bodo. "And it became part of the vocabulary. The vocabulary is very limited in tennis. It's supposed a quiet game, you're not supposed to talk, you're not supposed to do anything. Whatever you've got verbally has to go a long way."
He laughed. It can't be stopped.

My work [life] spans various roles (artist, creative director, transmedia producer, philosphical storyteller...) and industries (entertainment, education, technology…). These role-industry variants are not mutually exclusive, and often intertwine, making an in-the-box description futile. Currently, pattern recognition seems to sum up what I do and who I am. Connecting the dots of cognition, evolution and storytelling.
General interests:
#art, #AR/MR, #architecture, #biomimetics, #complex systems, #communications, #computational creativity, #consciousness, #data visualization, #deep learning, #design, #environment, #evolution, #futurism, #interfaces, #meta-mythology, #music, #open source, #semiotics, #storytelling technology
A special thanks to my collaborators whose influence, ideas, design, and art comprise this website and overall experience.

From an early age, my curiosity of the unknown universe forged my path in storytelling. With over 20 years of creative experience as a transmedia producer, experience designer, and educator, my work explores the inherent connections among consciousness, nature, culture, and the evolving human mythology.
In the early '90s the confluence of art, information, and technology became the perfect storm for the germination of ideas that continue to inspire me today. My academic research ('95-'03) at UT Austin and New York University focused on communication theory, information technology, and media production.
During my education I mentored with visionary producer Tommy Pallotta on films (Waking Life), music videos (Destiny, In the Waiting Line), and the interactive sci-fi mystery (Amnesia Moon). In 2003, I launched Spectral Alchemy as a creative interface for my work and continued to develop my skills over the next decade: indie/studio development, broadcast, interactive design, and commercial production.
In 2009, I decided to focus exclusively on my personal creative vision. As a result, my first documentary, DMT: The Spirit Molecule, premiered two years later and became an instant cult classic. The DMTRMX project, an open source media library and emergent storyworld, became the inspiration for MYTHAPHI.
My ongoing curiosity of the future and academic musings on cultural evolution have led to speaking appearances at conferences (Bioneers, SXSW), universities, festivals (Burning Man), and nonprofits (IONS) across North & South America, Europe, and Australia (OoC Tour).
Transdisciplinary R&D in the arts, cognitive psychology, emerging tech, and philosophy. Each area of inquiry, or data point, is evaluated through the lens of consciousness (perceptual framework), evolution (change dynamics), and story (information pattern). Humans perceive only a fraction of the universe, yet our technology allows us to see further and deeper with every novel invention. Our awareness develops new ways of coping and interpreting life as we know it, while our technology seems to be revealing the source code of creation. It is this dynamic interplay that fuels my R&D.
I consult a variety of clients, including companies, organizations, and individuals. The typical themes cover artistic direction, communication strategy, understanding change and how the emerging paradigm creates the future. Through a global perspective and systemic methodology, I offer a unique perspective with technical know-how and creative vision - helping clients interface the future by identifying underlying patterns and trends for adaptation. To learn more about collaboration, please contact me for more information. Each relationship is unique and requires a tailored design.
My ongoing curiosity of the future and cultural evolution led to speaking appearances at conferences, universities, festivals, and nonprofits around the globe. In addition to lectures, I lead interactive workshops, and currently developing an expanded online version to compliment a forthcoming book. People around the world sense a shift, but it can be challenging to put into words or even wrap our heads around. As humanity approaches a "momentous leap forward in consciousness", which promises radical change to our social structures, technologies and life in general, my goal is to share what I have learned through experience and research.
