It's a beautiful table. So if it's already been posted, I'm sure all will appreciate seeing it again. ;-)

Dorine:

OT... I can't believe Dell is not going like a rocket today, after the IDC numbers. I have found that adding shares of Dell, will help the bears reverse their trend. Have a great day! Dell is the cure for these depressed Bears!:) Leigh

Depressed bears get herbal remedy

BRIDGEPORT, Connecticut (AP) -- Two bears apparently depressed about life in the zoo will get a decidedly human treatment -- St. John's wort.

It is hoped that the herb, a sort of natural Prozac known to have antidepressant qualities in humans, will produce similar results in No Oreja and Nikki, spectacled bears that were acquired five years ago from zoos in Chicago and Detroit.

After the bears' arrival at Beardsley Zoo, No Oreja -- Spanish for "no ear" -- began pacing in her cage. Nikki soon picked up the habit.

"What happens with captive animals is they tend to get anxious and develop traits that are unacceptable, habits of spinning and pacing and just nervous attitudes in response to captivity," said Howard Hochman, a veterinarian at the zoo.

Dr. Richard French, a veterinary pathologist at the University of Connecticut, said animals allowed to graze on large amounts of St. John's wort can develop allergic reactions that occur with exposure to sunlight.

But small or moderate amounts shouldn't harm the bears, he said.
