“If you want to take drugs don’t come to London – because we’ll catch you if you take drugs,” professor David Cowan said at the end of a World Anti-Doping Association symposium on Thursday.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs revealed plans for a new headquarters for the company that “looks a little like a spaceship” at a City Council meeting in Cupertino, Calif., on Tuesday.

In his trademark black turtleneck, jeans and gray New Balance running shoes, Jobs said at the meeting the new building would hold 12,000 employees, and even house its own green-energy power plant.

Apple’s current headquarters can only hold about 2,800 people, Jobs said, according to a YouTube video of his presentation posted by the council.

SACRAMENTO — A scam targeting users of craigslist continues to be reported to the Better Business Bureau of Northeast California.

The scam, first reported months ago, involves the intended target getting an email shortly after posting an ad with craigslist, the online classified advertisement website.

The person sending the email claims to be the CEO of craigslist and states the consumer has won a computer.

The scammer asks the target to go to a website, where personal financial information is required before the free computer can be claimed.

Officials said the emails are a blatant and somewhat clumsy attempt to commit identity theft.

Names usually associated with the emails, Amy Sanders and Angel Thompson, have no connection with craigslist.

People who feel they are being targeted by fraud should contact the BBB at 1-916-443-6668.

China, along with other emerging countries, is the great hope for global economic growth.

The developed economies, bruised and aching, are pulling themselves slowly back to their feet after the Great Recession.

As Western consumers and governments struggle to get on top of their debts, they are not going to be the source of booming demand for goods and services they were in the last decade.

China by contrast slowed down a bit in the recession and then rapidly got back to something like full speed.
