I have recently got a new laptop with windows 7 and Norton security but within days mystery emails were being sent from my hotmail address seemingly to everyone in my contact list. The email is the same each time. I have ran a full system scan as thought it might be a virus but nothing was found any ideas what to do to stop this?

Spring 2010 Classes

The Historical Development of Ancient Political Theory From Homer to Augustus
(Syllabus largely derived from Richard Billows http://www.columbia.edu/ccu/history/pdf/anc/w3006.doc)
Course Description:
This course is a review of Greek and Roman political theory as it developed through events from the Homeric age of Greece to the Augustan principate at Rome.
One of the principle contributions of the ancient Greco-Roman civilization to the western tradition is the rich and varied legacy of political theory developed over many centuries. It is the aim of this course to place ancient political theories in their historical contexts. Much ancient political theory can only be recovered from a close analysis of actual practice, since a good deal of ancient writing on the subject is lost. Even in the case where great works of political theory survive, however, the historical context must always be emphasized. … It is a truism, no doubt, that political theory can only be fully grasped and understood within a historical context: this course will apply that truism, and also the reverse notion that theory influences practice and hence history.

History and Economics in three-parts (done through Great Courses)
Course Description:
This three-part class will cover American political thought, US relations with the middle east and basic economics. Each component will be studied through listening to Great Courses on these topics and by doing additional research on a chosen sub-topic.

Gardening and Plant Life
Course Description:
This course is a basic introduction to gardening and permaculture. Gardening theory and practice will be studied through Gaia’s Garden: a guide to home-scale permaculture, and through hands on experiments in gardening. The focus will be on soil building and early crops.

Philosophical Problems in the Social Sciences
I will be auditing this class at University of Colorado Denver.

Hegel Reading Group
I will also be reading Phenomonology of Spirit with a Hegel reading group.
