At birth he was 8lb9oz... 2 mo he was 12lbs8oz and now 12lbs6oz. He is EBF and I pump at work. He eats 2.5 oz every two hours when I'm gone and seems completely satisfied and when I'm home, he nurses constantly and until he's content. He has adequate output in diapers. Dr wasn't worried...said he only would be worried if at 6 mo he was the same. Should I add more to his feelings when I'm gone? My other son was always at 2oz every two hours and at like 5 mo went to 3. Eeekkkkk I'm freaking out.

Danish Trade Minister Apologizes For Using Bogus Industry Numbers To Support Pro-ACTA Argument
from the wow dept
In other words: why are these people focusing on ACTA? What works is innovation and offering more legitimate services.
And that's actually really important, because it wasn't stricter laws that made such things happen: it was the rise of good, useful and convenient authorized services that effectively competed with the infringing offerings. If anything, those updated stats should raise even more questions about why new laws are needed. Instead, we should be asking why the legacy entertainment industry continues to make it difficult for new authorized services to get off the ground -- holding them hostage with ridiculous licensing demands, as well as demands for huge equity chunks. If they let innovation flow and authorized services grow, it seems like "infringement" as a problem would shrink tremendously.
It's nice to see these two pro-ACTA folks admit that they were wrong -- and even admit that it weakens their arguments, but both still argue for ACTA. They sort of brush off the wrong figure while both admitting that it was "given" to them by normally trustworthy sources. Of course, this really raises significant questions about how much they really understand what's going on vs. how much they're simply repeating the talking points handed to them by legacy entertainment industry conglomerates.
But, still, they can't back down on their support of ACTA. Pedersen says it's still needed because of "dramatic" amounts of infringement, while the Trade Minister is even more aggressive in claiming that ACTA is still needed. She says "it's unfortunate" that she had bad information and it's "a pity" that the 95% number is so wrong because now it makes her argument look bad. That it does. But she's not willing to let go or rethink her position. She immediately jumps into the ridiculous comparison of how it's "just like" the fact that "you may not steal an orange in the supermarket." The second anyone (especially a politician) argues that making a copy of a file is the same thing as physically stealing an object from a store, it shows that they have no business taking part in such a debate, because they clearly don't understand the issues at play. She then insists that no matter what the percentage of unauthorized downloads "it's still too many." If that's the case, then why even bring up the bogus 95% issue in the first place? And if any percentage is "too many" does she support shutting off the internet? Because that's the only way you stop all unauthorized downloads (though it won't stop infringement through other means). Bizarrely, after all this, when the TV presenter confronts her about the numbers again, she says "we need to have real numbers" in the debate, and that's "very important." Indeed. Kind of tragic that she didn't bother to actually bring any to the debate, isn't it?

Hi, just wanted to troll for thoughts on this but I have noticed that over the past few years I have had just the best luck seeking ghosts in September. It seems like every year between the second or third week of September and the second or third week of October paranormal activity has peaked. I thought about it and while I do not go ghost hunting too close to the calendar day Halloween because it is too crowded, it seems that paranormal events find me between mid September and October. I have this idea that the actual spiritually significant time has moved over the millenia and perhaps the spirits do not care so much what the calendar day is. Thoughts?
Is Halloween STILL Halloween?

I am not sure. I have never tried ghost hunting durning Halloween. I think there it too much going on at that time. It's traditional that the veil between the world thins at Halloween. I wonder if its a process though. Maybe it starts thining in Sept. and peaks at Halloween.
Don't take life too seriously, no one ever gets out alive.

Halloween still works best, but I think there's more of a psychodrama at that time.
Nothing is true, everything is permitted.The law of Chaos.

I'm pretty sure that ghosts and spirits don't pay too much attention to dates on a calendar.

I've heard that the veil's thinner on solstices and Equinoxes but tbh, I've never gotten a decent pic on Halloween
Thank you for not feeding the trolls

I once stayed at cypress lawn cemetery in colma,CA. On Halloween. I got there in the morning and stayed all day. I didn't see one person until dawn I saw a small truck just traveling through go by. I thought being at a cemetery at Halloween would be a neat experience but it was as dead as the cemetery itself.

The Cleveland Orchestra
Monday at 1 p.m.
- Hosted by Robert Conrad
The Cleveland Orchestra has long been recognized as one of the finest ensemble in the world and boasts a long and stellar history or concerts, recordings, and collaborations over the past 90+ years. In 2018 the orchestra will celebrate 100 years of music making. It has been blessed by stable leadership over these many decades with a distinguished list of music directors who have shaped the ensemble into finely crafted music instrument. Nikolai Sokoloff was the founding conductor and lead the orchestra through its formidable years, 1918-33. From 1933 to 1943 Artur Rodzinski took the helm followed by Erich Leinsdorf from 1943-46 and George Szell from 1946-70. Under Szell's leadership the orchestra became renowned for its mastery of the repertoire. Lorin Maazel took the baton from Szell in 1972 and remained until 82, leading the orchestra into the dawn of the digital era. In 1984 Christoph von Dohnányi took over and remained until 2002 when the current music director and conductor, Franz Welser-Möst assumed the role. Under his leadership the Cleveland Orchestra has become one of the most sought-after performing ensembles in the world. In concerts at its winter home at Severance Hall and at each summer's Blossom Festival, in residencies from Miami to Vienna to New York, and on tour around the world, The Cleveland Orchestra sets standards of artistic excellence, creative programming, and community engagement.

Best Weekend Never
Why journalists don't account for inflation when they report box office records.
Read more from Slate's Summer Movies special issue.
When The Dark Knight earned $158 million in its opening weekend last summer, journalists went gaga over the possibility that it would unseat Titanic as the all-time domestic box office leader. But the race was utter bunk. Accounting for inflation, the true record holder is Gone With the Wind, which—in 2009 dollars—earned over 50 percent more than Titanic and almost three times as much as The Dark Knight. Rhett Butler doesn't give a damn about Jack Dawson, let alone Bruce Wayne.
Every summer, journalists engage in this brand of misleading speculation. Even when there isn't an all-time contender like The Dark Knight, other records trip us up. For instance, in 2007, journalists proclaimed The Bourne Ultimatum the top August opening ever, but when you account for inflation, it's surpassed by 2001's Rush Hour 2 and 2002's Signs. While this summer's Star Trek ($247 million-plus) seems light-years beyond its predecessors, it actually only inched by 1979's Star Trek: The Motion Picture, which made $235 million in 2009 dollars.
The problems with our growing fixation on box office figures—they don't account for costs of the film, they don't include home-entertainment revenue, etc.—have been chronicled in the past. But as long as we continue to indulge this obsession, shouldn't journalists at least factor in inflation, instead of pretending that it doesn't exist?
Journalists like to ignore this basic economic principle because, for one thing, "Johnny Depp's best weekend ever" is a more exciting headline than "Johnny Depp's 14th-best weekend ever in inflation-adjusted dollars when starring in a Tim Burton-directed children's novel adaptation." And perhaps journalists don't care because the public doesn't, either. As readers, we get excited about records being broken. As moviegoers, we feel reassured knowing that everyone in America saw the same blockbuster as we did last weekend. But there's good reason to care about accuracy.
Cinephiles, at the very least, should care, since precise figures can help boost the status of classic films. Lay readers, who now follow the box office as if it's a sport, should recognize that ignoring inflation is like comparing the world record for the 100-meter dash to the record for, say, a 3-meter dash. That's a more apt comparison than you might think: The average ticket price in 1939 (23 cents) is 3 percent of the price in 2009 ($7.18). Granted, those who follow box office races as indicators of the quarter-to-quarter financial health of media companies have no reason to heed inflation. But for others in the industry—such as competitors (and shareholders) of companies whose executives use box office figures to brag—accurate figures could provide useful perspective.
Besides, what we really want to know is not how many $1 bills will be dumped onto the Warner Bros. lot when The Hangover finishes its run. We want to know the impact a particular film has had on the country and on our culture. The real question is: How many people have actually seen The Dark Knight or Transformers 2 or whatever the movie of the moment might be?
Ideally, studios and exhibitors would just tell us the raw number of tickets sold. Since they don't, Box Office Mojo's inflation-adjusted all-time top 100 list attempts to measure just that—translated into money terms. It takes the film's gross and divides it by the average ticket price in the year the film was released to find total attendance.
It then multiplies that figure by the average ticket price in 2009 to find its gross in today's terms (since it's hard to wrap our minds around a figure like "74 million tickets sold" when we're already trained to think about money).
Box Office Mojo's nonadjusted list is dispiriting: A few Spider-Mans here, a couple of Shrek sequels there. All but two of the top 20 have been released since 1993. But the real list is packed with cultural icons. Rounding out the top five are Star Wars, The Sound of Music, E.T., and The Ten Commandments. The Graduate, the anthem of a generation, is stuck down at 380 when you ignore inflation but rises to 18 when you don't. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is 108 on the nonadjusted list, trounced by every Pixar movie except A Bug's Life. Adjust for price increases, and it passes them all, to no. 10.
Box Office Mojo's method is far from exact, as the site's president, Brandon Gray, confessed in a recent conversation. Box office data from before the 1970s are spotty, requiring some Hollywood archaeology to piece together estimates. The site's dependence on average ticket price is also problematic. Certain movies sell a higher proportion of children's tickets (which are discounted) or do better in big cities (where tickets are pricier). In the old days, big-event roadshow movies like The Sound of Music would cost more than other films. Plus, the site doesn't recognize that the cost of a movie ticket has risen faster than the consumer price index. In other words, a ticket to Up in 2009 is more expensive in relation to other items people can buy than a ticket to Gone With the Wind was in 1939.
Population growth is another complication. If our measurement is the number of tickets sold, isn't Gone With the Wind at a disadvantage as compared with TheDark Knight because there were fewer than half as many people in the United States in 1939 than there are now? Should our measurement be the very unsexy "number of tickets sold per 100,000 people"?
Exactitude is impossible, but a simple acknowledgement of basic economics would be a giant leap forward. So this summer, let's all strive for accuracy when discussing box office feats. (That goes for you, too, Broadway, and your suspect use of the term "house record.") Journalists who don't think they have time to care about price increases can subscribe to Box Office Mojo's paid service that adjusts most charts for you. And readers, in turn, should refuse to listen to statistics that lie. That way, when the next Gone With the Wind comes along, we'll know how to recognize it.

Candidates sit in a sealed cabin attached to a six-metre structure in the long-arm centrifuge at the German Aerospace Center (DLR)
Peter Gauger from the German Aerospace Center (DLR) wires up the candidates before they get into the long-arm centrifuge, allowing the scientists to measure factors such as blood pressure and heart rate during the ride.
In the control room, scientists and physicians monitor the candidates' response during the ride under increased gravity, helped among other things by a camera transmitting images of the candidate in the cabin.
Ulrich Limper, a physician from the German Aerospace Centre (DLR), draws blood from the candidates immediately after they step out of the long-arm centrifuge.
DLR researchers analyse blood coagulation under increased gravity
The first tickets have already been sold to space tourists – the passengers, however, will not be as fit or healthy as astronauts, but rather people with greatly varying health conditions. This is why scientists at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) and physicians from Witten/Herdecke University have come together to analyse the prevalent risks in a pilot study. Using a long-arm centrifuge, they subject participants to 15 minutes of the forces that space tourists would encounter during takeoff and landing. The aim of the study is to determine the influence of increased gravity on blood coagulation.
Each of the 20 test subjects will be placed in a cabin attached to a six-metre arm and accelerated to 22 revolutions per minute. The male participants aged between 25 and 40 will be subjected to three times the force of gravity just 15 seconds after the start. "Breathing is more difficult, so you must get used to it," explains candidate Max Schneider after his ride in the long-arm centrifuge. Ulrich Limper and Peter Gauger from the DLR Institute of Aerospace Medicine took blood samples before the acceleration started, to be able to compare the results to afterwards. Hartmut Fredrich, the centrifuge machine operator, and physician Jürgen Wenzel monitor the test subjects' response during the phase of threefold gravity. A camera transmits images of the candidate's face to the control room. Regular measurements of blood pressure and heart rate show that the candidate is fine despite the stress. The next blood samples are taken once the 15 minutes are up and the cabin comes to a halt. "This allows us to identify the immediate repercussions of increased gravity," Ulrich Limper explains. As some responses are triggered with a certain delay, the last blood samples are taken half an hour later.
Tourists with health risks
"We have to assume that space tourists could be older, and may have previously had conditions such as a heart attack or deep vein thrombosis – but are nevertheless keen to fly to space and willing to shoulder the physical stress this entails," says Limper. Commercial providers of this kind of flight will be intent on offering these trips with several minutes of zero gravity to as broad a public as possible. "For this to happen, we need to know the risks, define precisely how we will conduct effective medical checkups before the launch or whether we may even have to introduce solutions to certain risks." For instance, whether passengers with a history of strokes or pulmonary embolism are being prescribed medication that reduces the capacity for the blood to clot, as the effectiveness of these drugs may be restricted for the duration of the flight. "We need to define this risk – so that it can be minimised," says the physician Ulrich Limper, defining the joint research project between DLR and the University of Witten/Herdecke.
Interaction between blood coagulation and the vascular system
The study has already revealed a preliminary trend: "It appears probable that increased gravity raises the capacity of the blood to clot." Until now, this effect had only been investigated on human blood cells in centrifuges or on animals. Working with human beings helps scientists perform even more precise investigations: "Among other things, blood coagulation is closely related to the human vascular system – and you can't take a look at that in a centrifuge."
To ensure that the results would be as unambiguous as possible, test subjects were selected according to strict criteria: only those who passed the check-up at the DLR Aerospace Medicine Examination Centre and whose blood coagulation results showed no abnormalities were admitted to the study. It was important that the candidate group should be as homogeneous as possible, so that the observed results of blood coagulation would be exclusively due to the ride on the centrifuge. But there were some failures here: "We had to stop the test for some of the candidates – even with a healthy body, some people are unable to cope with the effects of increased gravity."

Philip Seymour Hoffman was a critically acclaimed actor who thrived in numerous supporting roles through his career before making a name for himself as a leading man. Hoffman was found dead earlier today at the age of 46.
Here are a few of Hoffman's most notable roles.
Hoffman was nominated for his last Oscar in a supporting role for playing Lancaster Dodd, the creator of a religion called "The Cause." Dodd accepts a struggling World War II veteran, played by Joaquin Phoenix, into the religion. Critics and moviegoers quickly compared the character Hoffman played to Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.
WATCH: Philip Seymour Hoffman on Rough-Housing with Joaquin Phoenix
Hoffman told Peter Travers that he was never trying to emulate Hubbard and instead, he based some of the character on Orson Welles.
"The Master" also marks the fifth film Hoffman worked with director Paul Thomas Anderson.
Hoffman played a charismatic priest Father Flynn who is full of joy and very playful with the students at a Catholic school during the 1960s.
Hoffman plays opposite Meryl Streep, who plays a strict nun (Sister Aloysius) who rules the school with an iron fist. Sister Aloysius begins a personal crusade to drive the popular priest from the school and community.
Throughout the film, Hoffman and Streep's character battle over school politics before she suspects him of abusing the school's first black student.
Hoffman was nominated for an Oscar and Golden Globe for his role.
|Charlie Wilson's War -- 2007
Hoffman played foul-mouthed CIA agent Gust Avrakotos opposite Tom Hanks as Rep. Charlie Wilson. The political biopic focused on Wilson's covert aid to rebels in Afghanistan fighting against the Soviet Union, and the long-reaching impact of Wilson's efforts. Hoffman was nominated for an Academy Award for best supporting actor in 2008.
|Mission: Impossible III -- 2006
Hoffman squared up against Tom Cruise as the villain in the third installment of the popular franchise. Hoffman played Owen Davian, the most infamous black market dealer in the world.
"Mission: Impossible III" was Hoffman's first foray into a mainstream action film. The film went on to gross more than $390 million, which was a career-best for the actor until 2013's "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire."
|Capote -- 2005
A reconstruction of the time when American journalist and author Truman Capote researched and wrote his most enduring novel, "In Cold Bold," the film follows Capote, played by Hoffman, as he reports on the murder of a Kansas family while also developing a close relationship with Perry Smith, one of the killers.
Among Hoffman's strong body of work, the role was hailed as one of his finest performances. He took home the Best Actor Academy Award for his portrayal in 2006.
|Along Came Polly -- 2004
Dramas may have been Hoffman's wheelhouse, but his role as the sloppy but lovable Sandy Lyle in "Along Came Polly" was a hit with audiences. Lyle is a former child star who plays Ben Stiller's "wingman" as he begins a wild relationship with Jennifer Aniston.
|The Talented Mr. Ripley -- 1999
In the crime thriller "The Talented Mr. Ripley," Hoffman portrays the preppy and hedonistic Freddie Miles. Matt Damon portrays Tom Ripley, a charismatic, sociopathic murderer with a knack for taking on the identity of others.
In one unforgettable scene, Miles confronts the duplicitous Mr. Ripley about his secret double life at his extravagant apartment in Rome.
|Magnolia -- 1999
"Magnolia" follows a mosaic of characters during one day in Los Angeles and explores the possibility of coincidence and chance in the characters' interlocking stories.
As nurse Phil Parma, Hoffman cares for an ailing former television producer and helps track down his estranged and egocentric son, played by Tom Cruise.
|Flawless -- 1999
Hoffman donned women's clothing and a wig as he went drag opposite Robert De Niro.
Hoffman begins an odd friendship with De Niro, who plays a tough guy cop who suffers a stroke and becomes paralyzed on the right side of his body. Despite disagreeing with Hoffman's lifestyle, De Niro asks Hoffman for singing lessons to overcome his disability.
|Boogie Nights -- 1997
Hoffman shines in his breakthrough role as a gay and timid boom mike operator in Paul Thomas Anderson's take on the porn industry during the 1970s. Hoffman's character Scotty J wears tight clothes over his large frame and is in love with Dirk Diggler, played by Mark Wahlberg.

It is estimated that long term sickness absence costs the UK economy almost £9 billion each year due to 140 million days lost as sickness absence. With an already failing economy, it is no wonder then that alongside a number of employment law reforms aimed at tackling the economic crisis, this is another area under scrutiny.
Traditionally, employers have expected an employee's doctor to assess their capability to work. However, an independent review into sickness absence published this month has suggested that a family doctor taking work decisions may not be the best way to manage long term sickness absence and that bespoke advice would be more appropriate.
The review has suggested the creation of an Independent Assessment Service (IAS), which would provide an in-depth assessment of a person's physical and/or mental function when they have been signed off work for four weeks or more. The IAS would also then provide advice on how best to manage that absence including advice on supportive measures to enable that person to return to work. Other recommendations include;

Poached Eggs with Sherried Mushrooms and Piquillo Peppers
As most of us know, eggs benedict is a half of an English muffin, topped with Canadian bacon or ham, a poached egg, and hollandaise sauce. The "daring" of this dish is successfully poaching an egg in water, and making hollandaise, one of the famed mother sauces of France. I was tempted to try one of our favorite eggs benedict variations by local chef Brian Johnston at The Red Door, San Diego. His Sausage Benedict is spicy chicken-jalapeno sausage, on crispy polenta triangles, with poached eggs and cilantro-lime hollandaise.
The second suggested recipe, oeufs en meurette (eggs in meurette sauce), is a classic dish from the region of Bourgogne (Burgundy) in France. It involves poaching an egg in a red wine/stock, which then becomes a reduction sauce. The poached eggs is served on top of fried croûtes, with sauce, bacon, mushrooms and pearl onions.
For the Daring Vegan Cooks, instead of poaching an egg, they were provided with a poached homemade seitan sausage recipe.
Although we were provided with the above three recipes involving poaching, we were permitted to venture out and try something else. I tend to prefer venturing out to find another unique recipe to share with the Daring Community, but I do intend on trying the oeufs en meurette soon. In case you haven't noticed, anything with red wine gets my attention fairly quickly (Chocolate Red Wine Cake, Apple and Red Wine Crostata). Eggs poached in red wine sounds intriguing...
I ventured as far as my cookbook shelves and pulled out one of my favorites - Cindy Pawlcyn's Big Small Plates. I know I could cook from this book for an entire year and be very content. For this month's challenge, I zeroed in on Cindy's Poached Eggs with Sherried Mushrooms and Piquillo Peppers.
We discovered piquillo peppers during one of our summer Concert in the Park culinary challenges. They are a variety of chili traditionally grown in Northern Spain, and the name is Spanish for "little beak." We have found jarred, roasted, piquillo peppers at some of our local gourmet markets. You can substitute roasted red bell peppers if you cannot find piquillo peppers. This dish will become one of our go-tos for brunch or dinner.
Poached Eggs with Sherried Mushrooms and Piquillo Peppers
Slightly adapted from Big Small Plates
4 tablespoons butter or extra virgin olive oil, or a combination of both
2 cups sliced crimini mushrooms
1/2 small onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup medium-dry sherry
5 piquillo peppers, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves, coarsely chopped
4 half-inch to 3/4-thick slices rustic bread (I used a ciabatta roll)
4 large eggs
6 cups water
1 tablespoon vinegar
2 teaspoons salt
Course sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Heat the butter or oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the mushrooms and cook 3-4 minutes. Turn heat down to medium and add the onion. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender and the mushrooms are starting to caramelize, about 15 minutes. Add the sherry and allow to reduce until the liquid has been absorbed. Stir in the piquillos and parsley and mix well. (This mixture can be made earlier in the day and then reheated before the eggs are poached).
Toast the bread and reheat the mushrooms/peppers if necessary. To poach the eggs, combine the water, vinegar, and salt in a saute pan, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat just enough to maintain a simmer and poach the eggs 4 minutes. Scoop them out with a slotted spoon, and tap the spoon on a towel to shake off the water (see poaching tips, below).
Place the toasts on plates and spoon the mushrooms and peppers on the toasts. Top each toast with a poached egg, and season with sea salt and pepper to taste.
Serves 2-4, depending on serving size.
Poaching to Perfection Tips:
• Make sure to use the freshest eggs possible. Farm-fresh eggs will make for the best poached eggs. Old eggs will have a harder time with the whites spreading out all over the place when you place the egg in the water.
• Adding a bit of vinegar or acidic agent to your water will help stabilize the eggs and cook the whites faster, and keeping your water just below boiling point (about 190F) will help keep the fragile eggs from all the boiling bubble action rupturing the eggs. Also make sure to salt your poaching water well.
• The other main key to success is to crack your egg into a small bowl first, taking care not to break the yolk. Then it becomes easy to gently slide the entire egg into the water for the poaching process. Some people will also suggest swirling the poaching liquid into a bit of a vortex before sliding the egg in, in order to help keep the egg whites together. I prefer to have the water calm. I also like covering the pan with a glass lid to help steam the top of the yolk that is not submerged in water.
• A poached egg is done when the whites are fully cooked and the yolk has just started to solidify but is still runny when you cut it open – usually three minutes. It's ok to go a little longer though depending on your desired firmness.
• You can poach eggs ahead of time (about a day). Just immerse them in ice water after poaching, and then keep them in a bowl of water in the refrigerator. When you are ready to use them, place them in hot (not boiling) water until they are warmed through.

A small ceremony was held June 19, 2010, renaming the half acre D. E. Wertz Roadside Park in memory of Duane Tirrell, known in the Charlotte community as the "gentle shepherd" for his dedication to the Charlotte community, farming, and the protection of open space and farm land. The newly christened Duane Tirrell Memorial Roadside Park has new stone steps leading to the artesian well courtesy of the Tirrell family endowment established under the Capital Region Community Foundation. Other upcoming improvements to the park will include revamped picnic tables and a small covered picnic area which will be provided by a local Boy Scout as an Eagle Scout project.
Directions to Tirrell Memorial Park
Located on Battle Creek Rd. (Old M-78) approximately four miles south of the Charlotte High School.

Three Tibetans have died after setting themselves on fire to protest against Chinese rule in a western region where authorities have imposed a heavy security presence, exiled Buddhist monks and reports said on Thursday.
More than 100 Tibetans have self-immolated since 2011 to protest against Chinese policies in the region and call for the return of their spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, from exile.
Two of the three latest protesters were monks at a monastery in Ruo'ergai county of Aba prefecture, according to exiled monks and the Free Tibet group. The two monks, aged 20 and 23, set themselves on fire in a corner of an assembly hall of the Taktsang Lhamo Kirti monastery, wrote Losang Yeshe and Kanyag Tsering, monks living in exile in Dharmsala, India.
The US broadcaster Radio Free Asia reported that a Tibetan woman in Rangtang county in the same prefecture also died after self-immolating on Wednesday. The broadcaster said the woman was 23 years old but that other personal details were not known.
Police and propaganda officials in both counties were either unreachable by phone or said they were unaware of the self-immolations.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - UC Santa Barbara traveled to Palo Alto last weekend to compete in the 2012 Stanford Invitational. The meet, held Friday and Saturday, April 6 & 7, included hundreds of outstanding athletes.
Senior All-American Ryan Martin out-kicked a national class field to win the 800 meters in a time of 1:47.99. Martin was also part of the 4x400 relay squad that claimed third-place in the "A" section with a time of 3:09.67, the second fastest in UCSB history. He was joined in the relay by Marquis Caldwell, Jimmy Martin and Jordan Scott.
Jimmy Martin also competed in the 400 meter dash finishing third in his heat and 17th overall with a time of 48.71. Michael Aiken rounded out UCSB's track events with his participation in the 200 meters. The freshman ran a 22.37 to finish third in his heat and 29th overall.
The Gauchos were also well represented in the field events. Seniors Alex Umstead, Chris Hamilton, and Adam Shigem landed 5th, 7th, and 9th in the hammer throw with heaves of 192-02, 184-07, and 182.05 respectively. Hamilton was also a force in the discus as he finished eighth at 157-00.
Among Gaucho women, the top performance may have come from senior Justine Diaz who ran a 2:06.11 in the 800 meters, finishing second in her section and fifth overall. Diaz also narrowly missed eclipsing her best time of the season, which stands at 2:06.09.
Junior Amanda Rodriguez closed out the track events for the UCSB Women's team by running a 1:02.92 400 meter hurdle crossing the finish line in fourth for her heart and securing 16th overall.
In the field events, Irene Kujore led the way with an eighth-place finish in the hammer at 175-09 and a 13th-place finish in the discus at 154-07.
Both UCSB teams return to action this week at the Big West Challenge Cup and the Rafer Johnson/Jackie Joyner-Kersee Invitational.

Man's death can bring reason to risk
If it's possible that something good can emerge from something terrible, the death in August of the Bay Area's world-renowned speed hiker, Michael Popov, qualifies.
His personal achievements, in the end, are not what make his death the No. 1 outdoors story of 2012. What counts more is how his death has impacted others around the world, especially young outdoors super athletes, and is likely to save many other lives.
"Mish" Popov of Walnut Creek died from heatstroke on a 123-degree day in Death Valley after going off course in a solo edge-of-the-envelope training run. He was 34.
"His death may change how outdoor super athletes approach their sports," I wrote at the time. "In the current era, where nearly everything has already been done, it seems that those who attempt to be the first or fastest at anything in the outdoors must risk their lives."
Perhaps through his death, Popov has raised the awareness of outdoors enthusiasts to the inherent risks of their pursuits.
Doug Stoup of Truckee, a polar explorer, had planned this past year to become the first to ride a stand up paddleboard 118 miles from Cuba to Florida in less than 30 hours. When rough seas and a forecast of severe winds made such a trip life threatening, Stoup canceled, a first in his career of extreme sports.
Maybe others will take a second look, too. Maybe everybody who ventures into the wild will listen a little closer to that warning voice in the back of their head.
Here are 2012's 10 biggest California outdoors stories:
1. Death of Michael Popov: Popov gained world renown in 2007 when he completed the 222-mile John Muir Trail, from Whitney Portal to Yosemite Valley, without receiving outside assistance, in 4 days, 5 hours, 25 minutes, a record at the time. The Walnut Creek man was conditioning for another endurance test during a road trip in the Eastern Sierra when he got the idea to head to Death Valley. He planned a 6-mile solo cross-country run from West Side Road to Badwater basin. At 10 a.m., the temperature was already over 120 degrees and rising, and Popov did not start his run until noon. He misjudged his destination and, in turn, lengthened his run and time in the extreme heat.
2. State Parks scandal: At the same time park administrators were planning to close 70 parks because of a budget deficit, it was revealed that the department had hidden a stash of $54 million in two special funds. The level of the scandal, which cost State Parks and Recreation director Ruth Coleman and several others their jobs in July, cuts to the core of government's amorphous money sponge. Many now want other state departments audited, such as the Department of Fish and Game, which by law is required to spend 33 percent of fishing license receipts on trout plants.
3. Drought and deluge: Last winter's drought allowed trekkers to make climbs in January of 13,053-foot Mount Dana in Yosemite and many other Sierra peaks, and see the high country in winter as rarely before. Severe drought to start last winter has been followed by severe snow and rain to start this winter. Two rare deaths from avalanches in bounds at Sierra ski resorts last week took the lives of a ski-patrol avalanche expert at Alpine Meadows and an experienced snowboarder at Donner Ski Ranch to the horror of the snow industry. It ignited a crusade within the industry to make sure resorts are safe havens from avalanches.
4. Paradise reborn: The Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary off the Bay Area coast turned into one of the richest marine regions in the world over the summer. In spring, pods of giant blue whales, later joined by humpbacks, gorged on vast acres of krill. A recharged marine food chain supported the highest number of salmon in many years and, with it, fishing for the Golden Gate Fleet that at times resembled a golden age. With so much food, 250,000 to 300,000 common murres nested at the Farallon Islands in a banner season for the little marine bird with the distinctive personality.
5. The lone wolf: The first confirmed wolf in California since 1924 spent much of the year roaming the north state and in the process fascinated millions. The celebrity gray wolf was named OR7 and was tracked as it roamed across Modoc and Siskiyou counties, and eventually to Plumas County and Butte County. In 2009 in The Chronicle, I reported unconfirmed wolf sightings by field scouts in Modoc County.
6. Hunting flash point: The divide between nonhunters from cities and hunters who live in rural areas ruptured wide across America in a debate over a provocative photo of California Fish and Game Commission President Dan Richards and a huge mountain lion he shot legally in February after an 8-hour hunt in Idaho (hunting them in California is illegal). The incident essentially cost Richards his job in August. In comments I received, many readers suggested that Richards and anybody like him should be the ones hunted. Hunters from rural backgrounds saw nothing wrong with the photo, that mountain lions are abundant predators that kill lots of deer and other animals, and there needs to be fewer of them, not more. There will be no bridging this divide.
7. Rafters gone wild: Drunken barbarism hit a new low on the American River in July during the second annual Rafters Gone Wild. Some participants, many of them young and fueled by alcohol, beat each other with their fists, paddles and rocks - fights that were typically started when women were touched inappropriately by drunk strangers. Sacramento County passed a law allowing park staff to ban alcohol at any time to stop future events.
8. Epic tuna: One of the most mind-boggling fish ever seen, a 427.5-pound yellowfin tuna, was caught by a California angler in September after a 50-minute fight on a boat 180 miles south of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The fisherman was Guy Yocum of Dana Point, who stands to get $1 million from Mustad, the world's oldest hook company, through its "Hook A Million" contest.
9. Ban on hounding: SB1221 takes effect Tuesday and makes it illegal for hunters to use dogs to chase bears and bobcats into trees (and then shoot them). One survey reported 83 percent of Californians were against hounding for bears and bobcats.
10. Grant Korgan's feat: This was the "feel good" story of the year. Two winters after being paralyzed from the waist down, Grant Korgan found his redemption on a minus-45-degree day in January at the South Pole. Korgan, who splits his time between Stanford and Lake Tahoe, is the first paralyzed, or adaptive athlete, to reach the South Pole. Doug Stoup and Tal Fletcher of Truckee guided Korgan in a 12-day trek across the 9,000-foot Polar Plateau.

For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to aspirin/caffeine: oral powder for reconstitution, oral tablet, oral tablet effervescent
Gastrointestinal side effects have been common and have included epigastric distress (in as many as 83% of patients treated with regular aspirin), abdominal discomfort or pain, endoscopically identifiable gastric mucosal lesions, nausea, and vomiting. More serious gastrointestinal effects have included hemorrhage, peptic ulcers, perforation, and esophageal ulcerations.
In clinical trials of caffeine citrate, five cases of necrotizing enterocolitis were reported among the 46 infants exposed to the caffeine citrate injection.[Ref]
Endoscopically identifiable gastric mucosal lesions occur in most patients who receive a single dose of aspirin. Clinically evident gastrointestinal bleeding has been reported in as many as 3% of treated elderly patients. Anorectal ulceration and rectal stenosis have been reported in patients who abuse aspirin-containing rectal suppositories. One case-controlled study has suggested that an association between aspirin (and other NSAID) consumption and appendicitis may exist.[Ref]
Renal side effects of aspirin have included reduction in glomerular filtration rate (particularly in patients who are sodium restricted or who exhibit diminished effective arterial blood volume, such as patients with advanced heart failure or cirrhosis), interstitial nephritis, papillary necrosis, elevations in serum creatinine, elevations in blood urea nitrogen, proteinuria, hematuria, and renal failure.[Ref]
The mechanism of an aspirin-induced decrease in renal function may be related to inhibition of renal prostaglandin synthesis with consequent decreases in renal blood flow. Vasodilating renal prostaglandins may be particularly important in patients who exhibit arterial underfilling (i.e. heart failure, cirrhosis). The administration of high doses of NSAIDs to such patients has produced acute renal failure in rare instances.[Ref]
Hematologic side effects of aspirin (in addition to predictable antiplatelet effects which may result in hemorrhage) have included increased blood fibrinolytic activity. In addition, hypoprothrombinemia, thrombocytopenia, thrombocyturia, megaloblastic anemia, and pancytopenia have been reported rarely. Aplastic anemia has also been reported.[Ref]
The mechanism of aspirin-induced hypersensitivity may be related to an up-regulation of the 5-lipoxygenase pathway of arachidonic acid metabolism with a resulting increase in the products of 5-lipoxygenase (such as leukotrienes).[Ref]
Hypersensitivity side effects of aspirin have included bronchospasm, rhinitis, conjunctivitis, urticaria, angioedema, and anaphylaxis. Approximately 10% to 30% of asthmatics are aspirin-sensitive (with the clinical triad of aspirin sensitivity, bronchial asthma, and nasal polyps).[Ref]
In general, side effects noted with aspirin use are dose-related.
Consumption of higher doses of caffeine (>600 mg/day) has been reported to have lead to caffeinism. Caffeinism is a syndrome characterized by anxiety, restlessness, and sleep disorders (similar to anxiety states). It has also been reported that chronic, heavy caffeine ingestion may be associated with depression. Caffeine may cause anxiety and panic in panic disorder patients and may aggravate PMS.[Ref]
Reye's syndrome typically involves vomiting, neurologic dysfunction, and hepatic dysfunction during or shortly after an acute viral infection.[Ref]
Other side effects have included Reye's syndrome. Reye's syndrome, although rare, has been associated with aspirin use in children with an acute viral illness. Reye's syndrome has also been reported even more rarely in adults.
Prolonged labor and pregnancy, decreased infant birth weight and stillborn births, antepartum and postpartum bleeding have occurred due to aspirin use by women during the third trimester of pregnancy.
In one study of the effects of caffeine, 634 women with fibrocystic breast disease (compared to 1066 women without the disease), the occurrence of fibrocystic breast disease was positively associated with average daily consumption of caffeine. Women who consumed 31 to 250 mg/day of caffeine were reported to have a 1.5 times increase in odds to have the disease. Women who consumed over 500 mg/day of caffeine were reported to have a 2.3 times increase in odds.[Ref]
Dermatologic side effects from the use of aspirin have been reported rarely and included Stevens-Johnson syndrome and a lichenoid eruption.[Ref]
Hepatic side effects including cases of aspirin-induced hepatotoxicity and cholestatic hepatitis, particularly at high doses, have been reported rarely.[Ref]
Oncologic side effects of decreased risk have been reported. Several epidemiologic studies have suggested that chronic aspirin use may decrease the risk of large bowel neoplasms. Other studies have not found such a beneficial effect.[Ref]
Metabolic side effects of aspirin have included dehydration and hyperkalemia. Respiratory alkalosis and metabolic acidosis, particularly during salicylate toxicity, have been reported. A case of hypoglycemia has been reported in a patient on hemodialysis. Salicylates have also been reported to displace triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) from protein binding sites. The initial effect is an increase in serum free T4 concentrations.[Ref]
Cardiovascular side effects of aspirin including salicylate-induced variant angina, ventricular ectopy, conduction abnormalities, and hypotension (particularly during salicylate toxicity) have been reported rarely.[Ref]
Nervous system
Regarding the use of aspirin, some investigators have suggested that tinnitus may be a less reliable indicator of salicylate toxicity than previously believed. Patients with high frequency hearing loss may have difficulty perceiving tinnitus. In a study of rheumatoid arthritis patients, those with tinnitus had no greater salicylate levels than those without tinnitus. Elderly patients may be less likely to perceive tinnitus than younger patients.[Ref]
Nervous system side effects in patients receiving aspirin have included agitation, cerebral edema, coma, confusion, dizziness, headache, cranial hemorrhage, lethargy, and seizures. Tinnitus and subjective hearing loss (or both) may occur. Some investigators have reported that modest doses may result in decreased frequency selectivity and may therefore impair hearing performance, particularly in the setting of background noise.[Ref]
Musculoskeletal effects including rhabdomyolysis have occurred in patients receiving aspirin.[Ref]
Respiratory side effects including hyperpnea, pulmonary edema, and tachypnea have occurred in patients receiving aspirin.[Ref]
Endocrine side effects of aspirin use have been reported to include hypoglycemia (children) and hyperglycemia.[Ref]
Ocular side effects including cases of localized periorbital edema have been reported rarely in patients receiving aspirin.[Ref]

YouView launched to the British public in the summer of 2012 with the stated goal of bringing 'extraordinary TV for everyone'. It is set to become the new way to watch TV for millions of people who don't want to pay a subscription. It is also seen by many as the evolution of existing free-to-air digital TV in the UK. But it's much more; nothing short, in fact, of the future of television and the beginning of an industry transformation.
In less than four years, YouView has undergone an astonishing transformation in a rapidly changing marketplace, progressing from its roots in research and development to a collaborative multi-partner consortium as 'Project Canvas', and then on to a fully fledged independent company.
YouView's brand launch in September 2010 fired the starting-gun on a period of headlong expansion and transformation, which has seen the company evolve rapidly while developing a complex and sophisticated delivery ecosystem, a process that has required the precise integration of a wide range of partners and third parties.
There can be few better examples anywhere in the TV and communications industry of leading players collaborating around a 'big idea' R&D project in order to deliver product to the consumer as well as a new set of services into a dynamic and evolving industry.

Ryan Daves keeps on winning.
The 138-pound Montezuma-Cortez High School wrestler remained undefeated Saturday at the Montrose Indian Invitational.
The senior scored three pins on the day to take first-place. Daves pinned Matt Sandoval (Montrose), Gunner Chesnik (Paonia) and Erik Romero (Pueblo West).
Trenton Gustafson also took first at 182 pounds.
The senior pinned his way to gold with wins over Cody Frantz (Olathe), Kyle Bludworth (Pueblo West) and Morgan Reider (Paonia).
Seager Oliver dropped down to 160 and took second.
Oliver, a sophomore, won by technical fall over Mitch Hiler, of Grand Junction. He then defeated Nucla's Tray Sickles by ride-out decision to advance to the finals. But Oliver lost a tough decision to Montrose's Marcus Velasquez.
Younger brother Parker Oliver went 2-2 at 120 pounds. The freshman won a hard fought overtime decision against Brett Hart of Pueblo West. Parker Oliver scored a pin over Freddie Gaye of Nucla. He lost by pin to Grand Junction's Hayden Reynolds and fell by decision to Palisade's Alejandro Gutierrez.
Celestino Fernandez went 1-2 at 106 pounds for the Panthers.
Levi Gross (126), Justice Ramos (145) and Tyler Hageman (152) also competed.
"I thought for having a month off, they looked pretty good in general. They picked up close to where we left off," M-CHS coach Eric Smith said. "Now, we got to get back in the groove of wrestling every week. Hopefully, they pick up the pace in the next few weeks."
The Panthers will wrestle Friday and Saturday at the Page (Ariz.) Tournament.
"This is the first time we are attending it. We're excited to go and maybe it's something we can do every year," Smith said. "We'll get to see a lot of kids we don't see throughout the year, so it will give our kids different looks. Hopefully, that will prepare them for regionals and the state tournament."
Action begins Friday at 1 p.m.

The Public Employees Federation is launching an ad campaign in the wake of Gov. David Paterson's plan to move ahead with 898 layoffs by the end of the year.
The ads were generated on a computer, and show an empty desk and ringing phone as calls come in — unanswered — for needed services. There are several shorter spots, as well as a longer spot which airs a young girl speaking to an older man, presumably in a child abuse situation, as a phone rings.
"You have reached the child abuse prevention hotline. No one is available to help you right now, please leave a message," the ad concludes before going to a dial tone.
"PEF recognizes the seriousness of the current economic crisis, but Gov. David Paterson's plan to lay off nearly 1,000 state employees has the potential to seriously hamper services on which New York taxpayers rely," said PEF President Ken Brynien. "The ads point out the state work force has already been cut by 11,500 jobs since 2008. It's time for the governor to ask himself which state services he is willing to tell taxpayers they must do without."
(The child abuse hotline is staffed by members of the Office of Children and Family Services, where no layoffs have been announced.)
PEF spokeswoman Darcy Wells said the union is spending $250,000 on the campaign, which includes five television spots (one 30-second spot, four 15-second spots) as well as printed advertisements.
A poll this morning found 53 percent of registered voters surveyed disagree with Paterson's plan for layoffs. Brynien and other public sector union leaders have also called his moves "illegal," citing a memorandum of understanding in which the governor agreed not to lay off workers if unions dropped their objection to a less-generous pension tier.
All the ads can be viewed here. The child abuse hotline ad is above.
Erik Kriss, a spokesman for the Division of the Budget, said layoffs are a "last resort" arrived at when unions offered the governor no cooperation.
"We would certainly have preferred that these employees continue working – for the services they provide, the positive impact their continued employment would have on the State's economy and the well-being of the employees themselves and their families. But the public employee unions rejected Governor Paterson's suggestions of a five-day pay lag or a furlough plan, and that left us no choice but to move forward with layoffs to achieve the workforce savings we need in the face of the worst economic recession since the Great Depression."

Steven Tyler and the guys from Aerosmith don't normally do morning shows, as they joked to Matt Lauer on "Today" on Friday morning. And with good reason, as Tyler soon demonstrated when he dropped an f-bomb while Al Roker was doing the weather.
Aerosmith made a special early morning appearance on "Today" to promote the band's new album, "Music From Another Dimension" by playing a live concert outside Rockefeller Center. But while Tyler and the band warmed up the crowd on stage, they apparently weren't aware that their stage patter could be heard on the live feed as Roker delivered the weather forecast.
"Hey, thanks for coming out you crazy..." Tyler said to the crowd.
After a moment, Roker responded, "What did he just say?" He then finished up the forecast and said to the camera, "That's why they haven't done mornings."

U-CAN Media Coverage
|Colleges Make Web-Based Response To College Rankings
Domain News Blog
November 21, 2009
U-CAN is a nationwide effort to provide consumer information to parents and students, including financial statistics, about privately supported institutions. U-CAN is comprehensive, and makes it an admirable effort; it is considerable work to secure cooperation from so many schools, let alone organize the data in a user-friendly format. U-CAN is useful, but less than perfect, for considering private colleges.
|Economy dominated higher ed news in 2008
USA Today
December 31, 2008
The economy overshadowed just about everything else this year in the world of higher education, and no sector was spared. Beloit College, a private liberal arts school in Wisconsin, said it must cut 40 jobs by the end of this academic year. California State University plans to limit enrollments on its 23 campuses next year. A number of community colleges face budget cuts, at a time when their relatively low tuitions attract more enrollments.
