Academy Award-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead of an apparent drug overdose inside his New York apartment on Sunday, police said.
The "Capote" actor, 46, was discovered by a business associate shortly after 11:30 a.m. Eastern time in his Greenwich Village apartment. Hoffman was found in his bathroom with a hypodermic needle stuck in his left arm, police said.

Two glassine envelopes containing what police suspected to be heroin were found near his body, police said. Five empty glassine envelopes were found in the trash, police said.
Hoffman won the Oscar for lead actor for portraying Truman Capote in the 2005 biopic "Capote." He had publicly admitted undergoing treatment for substance abuse problems but had said he had gotten sober in rehab.
"Anything I could get my hands on," Hoffman said in discussing his drug and alcohol dependency on "60 Minutes" in 2006. "I liked it all."
Last year, the versatile actor — who starred in such films as "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," "Charlie Wilson's War" and "Boogie Nights" — reportedly checked himself into rehab for 10 days after relapsing in 2012. He had been sober for 23 years.
Last month, Hoffman traveled to the Sundance Film Festival in Utah to promote the drama "A Most Wanted Man," set for release this year, in which he portrays a grizzled World War II counter-terrorism operative. The actor served as an executive producer and was set to star in the upcoming Showtime comedy "Happyish," in which he portrays the creative director of an ad agency struggling with a midlife crisis.
EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Hoffman just weeks before his death
"Philip Seymour Hoffman was one of our generation's finest and most brilliant actors," Showtime said in a statement. "He was alo a gifted comedic talent. It was a great privilege and pleasure to work with him and we are all absolutely devastated by this sudden loss."
Hoffman appeared in a supporting role in last year's "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," which grossed $ 860 million worldwide and stands out as the most commercially successful movie of the actor's career. He had filmed scenes for two sequels in the blockbuster franchise.
Hoffman's work was "substantially complete" on "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part I," and he had seven shooting days remaining on "Mockingjay Part 2," said a person close to the production but not authorized to speak to media. The actor's death will not affect the films' scheduled release dates in November 2014 and 2015, the person said.
Raised in a middle-class household in Rochester, N.Y., primarily by his mother, a civil rights activist turned judge, Hoffman showed promise in wrestling and baseball until an injury derailed his athletic career. His family issued a statement Sunday.
"We are devastated by the loss of our beloved Phil and appreciate the outpouring of love and support we have received from everyone," the statement said. "Please keep Phil in your thoughts and prayers."
Hoffman began acting at age 15 and studied theater at New York University, graduating in 1989. Soon afterward, at 22, the actor checked himself into a rehabilitation program for alcohol and drug addiction.
"I had no interest in drinking in moderation. And I still don't," Hoffman told the U.K.'s Guardian in 2011. "Just because all that time's passed doesn't mean maybe it was just a phase. That's, you know, who I am."
A bear-like, perennially rumpled presence known as an actor's actor, Hoffman displayed considerable range over a career that lasted 23 years and spanned nearly 60 films. He worked with a Who's Who of A-list directors — including, repeatedly, the Coen brothers, Paul Thomas Anderson and Bennett Miller — appeared opposite a constellation of Hollywood's biggest stars. The actor landed three other Academy Award nominations (for "The Master," "Doubt" and "Charlie Wilson's War") as well as numerous critics association honors.
Indelibly, Hoffman portrayed a lisping narcissist in "Capote," the messianic leader of a cult in 2012's "The Master," a creepy mouth-breathing sycophant in "Boogie Nights," a Machiavellian political consigliere in "The Ides of March" and a maverick CIA operative in "Charlie Wilson's War."
A journeyman stage actor, Hoffman also served as co-artistic director of New York's Labryinth Theater Company and was nominated for three Tony awards including one for his 2012 portrayal of Willy Loman in the Broadway revival of "Death of a Salesman."
"He gave performances of sacred and terrifying intensity," said Peter Sellars, who directed Hoffman in productions of Shakespeare's "Othello" and "The Merchant of Venice." "Phil burned so brightly and with such unrelenting love — it made him one of the great theater performers of his or any generation."
Figures ranging from New York Mayor Bill de Blasio to Chelsea Clinton took to Twitter on Sunday to register their shock and grief. Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres hailed Hoffman as a "brilliant, talented man," and comedian Ricky Gervais praised him as "one of the greatest actors of a generation."
Times staff writers Amy Kaufman, David Ng, Tina Susman and Yvonne Villarreal contributed reporting to this story.

Small Changes, Big Rewards
It's easier than you think to strengthen your bones! Find out how.
More than half of women over 50 are at risk of having fractures due to the bone-weakening disease osteoporosis, reports the National Osteoporosis Foundation. And that's critical since brittle bones can lead to fractures that trigger long-lasting pain, rob inches from your height, cause a hunched back, reduce your mobility and even raise your risk of dying due to complications during or while recovering from surgery to repair the breaks.
Now the good news: Lowering your risk of osteoporosis is as simple as making small changes to your diet, fitness and lifestyle. Read on to learn how easy it is to start strengthening your skeleton today.
Get the vitamin D you need
You've probably heard you should down plenty of calcium-rich foods, including milk, yogurt and cheese, to make your bones strong. But a study in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research reveals that all those foods won't make a difference if you're low on vitamin D—and since it's one of the most common vitamin deficiencies today, that's key.
Why it works: Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and form new bone, explains lead study author Bess Dawson-Hughes, MD, senior scientist and director of the Bone Metabolism Laboratory at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University. She recommends: 1,000 to 1,200 mg of calcium (the equivalent of eight ounces of non-fat yogurt and two cups of skim milk) and 800 to 1,000 IU of vitamin D daily.
Pile on the produce
Milk may hog the spotlight when it comes to bone-healthy foods, but according to a study in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, loading up on fruits and vegetables is also important to maintaining strong bones as you age.
Why it works: Diets high in protein and cereal grains—the kind most folks in Western countries eat—produce an excess of a certain acid in the body. As we age, the body becomes less efficient at excreting this acid, putting our bones at greater risk. However, eating fruits and vegetables counters the risk by adding bicarbonate, an alkaline compound that neutralizes the acid, to your system, explains Dr. Dawson-Hughes, who led the study.
Flatten a tummy
Experts have warned for years that being too thin can cause brittle bones. In fact, having a few extra pounds was once considered a factor in lowering your risk of osteoporosis. However, a new study in the journal Obesity now reveals that carrying too much weight in your belly—known as visceral fat, which forms underneath muscle and wraps around your organs—turns out to be a significant risk factor for osteoporosis. Luckily, shrinking your stomach with diet and exercise can reverse this risk.
Why it works: While the exact reason is not known, it is likely due to a combination of bone-weakening substances released from the visceral fat cells themselves, plus a lower level of bone-supporting hormones. The result: Reduced bone density as well as more bone marrow fat, which has been linked to more fragile bones, says lead study author Miriam A. Bredella, MD, a radiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital and assistant professor of radiology at Harvard Medical School in Boston.

GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) Kendrec Ferrara scored 17 points and Larry Wideman hit three 3-pointers in the first half to help Furman beat Wofford 69-65 Monday in Southern Conference action.
Wideman finished with 11 points and Bryant Irwin added 10 for Furman, which shot a season-high 58 percent (23 of 46) and snapped a six-game skid.
Furman (4-11, 1-3) opened scoring with four straight 3-pointers - two from Wideman and one each from Stephen Croone and Ferrera - to lead 12-4. The Paladins stretched their lead to 14 midway through the first half behind five consecutive points from Irwin and took a 40-25 advantage into the break.
Furman shot 58 percent (15 of 26) and made seven 3-pointers in the first half.
Spencer Collins scored 18 points for Wofford (7-10, 1-3), which rallied to cut the deficit to 64-63 with 1:58 left to play but was outscored 5-2 the rest of the way.

Everyone has his or her own way to cope with loneliness. During my last visit to Florida, I relied on baseball and my cat.
Some background may be needed here: I am the sole caretaker of my 94-year-old mother, who lives in Florida.
Because Mom had a rough year with her health, she couldn't spend part of the summer in Vermont this year. So when her doctors gave her the go-ahead, we happily decided to take a little three-day South Florida vacation together at the end of September.
The vacation lasted for 4½ hours. (You can read what happened on my website. The piece is called "The Facial of Doom," if that gives you any idea.)
At the end of the 4½ hours, Mom was in an emergency room screaming in pain because her veins are so fragile that they popped like balloons every time the doctors tried to put in an IV.
I stood by her bedside, wincing at her cries and trying to mop the little stream of blood that came from her broken nose before it pooled in her clavicle.
Frail, quivering, confused, in pain, broken from the fall, and furious at this setback to her health, Mom was in no position to fend for herself.
It was clear that I had to stay in Florida and help Mom as she moved through a health-care system that appears to be equally divided between intelligent, caring people and whatever is the absolute opposite of that.
* * *
Mom lives independently in a lovely apartment in a building designed for seniors.They eat breakfast and dinner in an elegant dining room, a maid cleans the apartments once a week, and there is a nurse, a home-health-care agency, and a beauty parlor on the premises.
So I moved in with the old folks, who dress for dinner and are brave about facing the ravages of time. But it was like having my mortality slapped in my face every time I left the apartment.
Because I live in Vermont, I had no one to back me as I fought with the health-care system. I felt vulnerable, scared, and alone.
So every evening, when I called my husband to say goodnight, he did something very strange and thoughtful.
He put the cat on the phone.
Agatha Kitty, who is small and black and glossy, likes to crawl up onto Randy's chest, rub her nose against his beard, then curl up under his chin and purr loudly.
"That cat is extraordinary," Mom told a friend who was visiting us at the rehab center where Mom was learning to walk again. "If Randy or Joyce sits down, she climbs right up onto their chests. She has an insatiable need to be loved."
Don't we all?
So Randy would put the phone to her little black face and let her purr to me for a few minutes every night. It calmed me down so I could sleep.
* * *
Baseball also became a big part of my antidote to loneliness.
I came to baseball the way I came to cross-country skiing: Randy insisted on sharing his passions with me, whether I wanted to share them or not.
In the end, after years of my idiotic protesting ("Go outside when there's snow on the ground? Are you nuts?" "Where are the women in baseball?" "Watch sports on television? Why not play them yourself?") I came to deeply love both things.
So deeply, in fact, that one afternoon, while Mom was in physical therapy, I chose to turn my mind off at an afternoon showing of Moneyball.
I loved the film for its slow, baseball-like pacing and its search for life wisdom and intelligence, but I also loved it because baseball, thanks to Randy, has enriched my life.
At the end of the film, Oakland general manager Billy Beane, played by Brad Pitt, goes to Fenway Park. The inside views of Fenway took my breath away and made my heart swell, because it has become an icon, a monument, something sacred to me — even though this year the Red Sox caved just before the playoffs.
I am a proud member of Red Sox Nation, even though Randy often threatens to take away my green card because I'm from New York and used to root for the Yankees. (My old New York thinking: Why not root for the team that wins all the time? My new New England thinking: They're our team, whether they win or not.)
When the Sox began to use the new baseball metrics highlighted in Moneyball, they won the World Series for the first time in 86 years. I sat in the movie theater bursting with pride.
In real life, Randy and I watched those games play by play, ball by ball, hit by hit, player by player. It taught me something about nerves and team loyalty, and I understood why, after the series, all those New Englanders visited the cemeteries to tell their departed relatives the amazing news that the Sox had won it all.
* * *
Mom was in rehab most of October, which is the baseball post season. So every night, I watched the games because, if I were at home, I would be watching them with Randy. It made me feel closer to where I needed to be.
Meanwhile, my dancer mother, indomitable in her hospital bed, watched Dancing With the Stars.
It took two weeks for Mom to get tired of rehab and demand to come home.
So I sprung her, set her up in her apartment, hired the right aides, and came back to Vermont. She's getting healthier every day, thank you for asking. When she saw her own doctor this week — a man who has been taking care of her for 35 years and loves her — he called her "indestructible."
And, dare I say it, the vacation that wasn't a vacation actually brought Mom and me closer together.
But having a cat purr you to sleep on the telephone? How lonely is that?

A tradition of research continues in Danbury
DANBURY -- Krill are tiny ocean-going crustaceans that provide foodstuff for hungry whales. Could krill oil also improve the heart health of people with Type 2 diabetes?
Earlier research has studied a link between sleep apnea and the risk of stroke. What happens to those risk factors if you add atrial fibrillation -- a rapid, uneven heartbeat -- to the mix?
These are two of the many lines of inquiry addressed last week by the staff of the Western Connecticut Health Network -- the umbrella group of Danbury, New Milford and Norwalk hospitals -- at the 29th annual Joseph Belsky, M.D., Research Day.
The gathering in honor of Belsky, Danbury Hospital's first full-time director of medical education, who is still practicing endocrinology at 87, gives the clinical staff a chance to present papers and programs on original medical research projects.
This year, staff from both New Milford and Norwalk participated for the first time.
The program featured 70 scientific abstracts, 60 posters and six oral presentations, along with a keynote address by Dr. Guadalupe Garcia-Tsao, professor of internal medicine at Yale University School of Medicine and chief of digestive diseases for the VA Connecticut Healthcare System.
Joann Petrini, director of clinical research at Western Connecticut Health Network, said the papers and abstracts presented will be heard again.
"This not the end," she said. "The doctors here will go on to present these papers at regional and national conferences."
Belsky said the research day started in 1985 under Dr. Nilo Herrera's leadership.
Herrera was perhaps the most influential of a group of physicians who, beginning in the 1960s, transformed Danbury Hospital from a behind-the-times community hospital into a teaching institution with residency programs and physicians eager to advance their learning.
"We'd been talking about the importance of medical research," Belsky said. "We decided to put our money where our mouth was."
The first years were not always impressive. The few posters mainly added visual impact to the proceedings.
"We we're trying to get some color on the walls," he said.
But gradually the programs expanded. For several years, Belsky said, pharmaceutical firms provided money to support the day -- a practice now considered a conflict of interest.
But under the leadership of retired hospital executive Gerard Robilatti, who headed the hospital's medical education department, and under its current president and chief executive officer, Dr. John Murphy, the research day has grown steadily. The hospital now budgets its own money to support it.
Among the oral presentations this year was one by Jessika Lobraico, a geneticist and researcher at the hospital, on the potential uses of krill oil.
Krill oil is like omega-3 fish oil, only better, she said, because krill are at the bottom of the ocean food chain and have purer oil. Fish oil is a supplement that medical research has shown to be beneficial to the heart.
Because diabetes often causes heart disease, the study looked at whether taking krill oil supplements might help such patients. Lobraico said the results are promising, because krill oil appeared to increase HDL cholesterol -- the "good'' cholesterol.
Dr. Dmitry Yaranov, a Danbury Hospital resident, led the study on sleep apnea, atrial fibrillation and stroke.
"What it's asking doctors to do is assess greater stroke risks with patients who have both conditions (apnea and atrial fibrillation)," Petrini said.
While discussing the work Yaranov was doing last week, Belsky, who has long been involved in diabetes education in the city, asked whether that research could be expanded to study sleep apnea, stroke and atrial fibrillation in diabetics.
Despite their 60-year age gap, Belsky and Yaranov immediately fell into a conversation on the topic.
"They're planning a paper for next year's Research Day," Petrini said.

Acid reflux common disorder that can be resolved with diet and lifestyle changes
By Sheryl Ubelacker
TORONTO — It can wake a person up in the middle of the night and make the day a misery, with frequent episodes of belch-ridden indigestion, a burning sensation in the esophagus and throat and, for some people, radiating chest pain so severe they wonder if they're having a heart attack.
This all-too-common condition is known as GERD, for gastroesophageal reflux disease, often referred to more simply as acid reflux — or really, really bad heartburn.
GERD arises as a result of stomach contents backing up, or refluxing, into the esophagus, the tube-like structure that connects the throat to the stomach. These backwashed caustic stomach contents — acid, bile, pancreatic secretions and semi-digested food — irritate the lining of the esophagus and can lead to chronic symptoms.
Besides heartburn, other symptoms may include difficulty swallowing, dry cough, a hoarse voice, regurgitation of food or a sour-tasting liquid, and feeling as if there's a lump in the throat.
While many people with GERD complain about feeling a searing or burning pain, some will experience deep, radiating pain caused by spasm of the esophagus that can be "excruciating," says Dr. Lawrence Cohen, a gastroenterologist at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto
"People fear they're having a heart attack, and it can be quite debilitating," he says. "I think there's more disruption than we think in terms of quality of life and productivity related to reflux."
GERD is also common, affecting at least half the population at some point in their lifetime. Prevalence studies suggest about 20 per cent of North Americans experience heartburn or acid regurgitation once a week and about 40 per cent at least once a month. Cohen estimates that 10 to 15 per cent of people struggle with symptoms daily.
The culprit at the root of GERD is a dysfunctional lower esophageal sphincter, a ring-like muscle that acts as a gate, opening to allow food and liquids to enter the stomach, then closing to keep them there.
But if that valve-like structure becomes weak or relaxes too frequently, allowing stomach contents to repeatedly back up into the esophagus, the result can be GERD, says Cohen.
This continuous reflux can cause the esophagus to become inflamed, and over time may erode its lining, causing such complications as bleeding, narrowing or a precancerous condition called Barrett's esophagus. In rare cases — less than one per cent — Barrett's esophagus can lead to a type of esophageal cancer called adenocarcinoma.
Cohen says some people with connective-tissue disorders, such as scleroderma, are more prone to GERD; some medications, among them non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and certain heart drugs, can also cause relaxation of the esophageal sphincter and the subsequent development of acid reflux disease.
In most cases, though, GERD is a product of lifestyle.
"The majority, I dare say, is directed by our habits, by our weight, our eating patterns, the content of our diet, and certain vices like smoking," says Cohen. "Those are the things that contribute to excessive reflux."
Being overweight — especially around the waistline — can promote the development of GERD because increased intra-abdominal pressure can send acid and other stomach contents shooting up into the esophagus, he says.
Other habits, such as eating large, high-fat meals late at night and then lying down, can also play havoc with the esophageal sphincter, which becomes subject to the laws of physics.
"So gravity — you're lying down with a full tummy, especially after drinking some alcohol, having a nice restaurant meal with a lot of fat because fat is flavour," says Cohen, sketching out a common scenario that can start the GERD ball rolling. "Your stomach doesn't empty and it goes back up into the esophagus."
In fact, a whole range of foods can aggravate acid reflux, from citrus and tomato-based products to chocolate and the caffeine in coffee, tea and colas.
Gerald Birnbaum finds the food item most likely to make his GERD symptoms flare is tomato sauce. When his wife makes pasta, for instance, he knows to limit his portion size or face the consequences.
"I know if I eat too much, it's going to be a tough night ahead. I'm getting burning during the night; I'm getting burping. I can't lie down; I have to sit up," says the 78-year-old retired accountant, explaining that the fiery acidic backwash from his stomach can cause him to choke.
Birnbaum started getting symptoms in his mid-40s, while working as a senior partner in a high-stress environment of a large accounting firm.
"And I frankly ignored it. I thought it was just heartburn, there's nothing to be done and that was that," he says from his home in Thornhill, Ont., just north of Toronto.
"If I had been smarter, I would have got treatment much sooner, but I didn't even realize they could treat this stuff. I thought it was just how it was."
By his late 40s, Birnbaum started having repeated episodes in which he felt weak and faint. Tests revealed he was anemic, and a gastric examination with a scope showed he had developed ulcers of the esophagus, which were bleeding.
He was given medication and the ulcers have since healed. But Birnbaum knows if he overindulges by eating too much or eating too late in the evening, "I pay for it."
Cohen says there are a number of treatments for GERD that can resolve the condition, depending on its underlying causes and severity.
"We always step back to the motherhood issues of diet, lifestyle and weight, and once we address those we look at the spectrum of treatment," he says, pointing to antacids as the first step in trying to quell reflux and its resulting heartburn.
Recommended medications can range from one of the myriad brands of over-the-counter antacids like Tums, Gaviscon and Mylanta to prescription drugs known as proton pump inhibitors, or PPIs, among them Losec, Nexium and Prevacid, and their generic equivalents.
In some cases, doctors prescribe drugs called prokinetics, which work by stimulating the stomach to empty to prevent reflux; in others, a patient with GERD that doesn't respond to antacids may be given the muscle relaxant baclofen to decrease relaxation of the sphincter.
Cohen said that for some patients with stubborn GERD symptoms, surgery may be the best treatment option, although only about one per cent are good candidates for the operation that involves "wrapping a bit of stomach around the lower esophagus and tightening it up."
Still, Cohen goes back to altering one's habits as the first line of defence for treating GERD and preventing its return.
"We can reverse and modify frequency of reflux by looking at those factors of diet and lifestyle," he says. "And we can change it from chronic to intermittent to resolved."

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The travel experts at Go Ahead Tours, a leader in cultural discovery through guided tours and global journeys, have this travel advice: fall is the ideal time to plan a trip to Europe and the Mediterranean. They're also backing it up with some very good price reductions on selected tours to Greece, France, Italy and costa del sol Spain.
According to Go Ahead, here are a few reasons that visiting Europe and the Mediterranean in the fall is ideal:
* Off-Season Rates: Peak season means peak prices. As tourism slows in autumn, so do the prices. Group tours to Mediterranean destinations can go down 20% or more between July/Aug and Oct/Nov.
* Comfortable Climate: In general, summers are hot and humid in many Mediterranean/European destinations (Rome's average temperature in July is 83o F), while the autumn brings pleasantly mild temperatures (Rome in October is 71o F); very comfortable for exploring cities or walking the country-side.
* Less Crowds: Peak season can mean long lines and rushed natives. Off-season travelers can be rewarded by a more leisurely pace and, oftentimes, more helpful, friendly 'locals'.
* Fall Festivals: The fall harvest is the traditional time for festivals – release of new wine vintages, olive harvests, holiday marketplaces – it's a great time to enjoy seasonal culture experiences.

Should I add submerged plants to my Water Garden?
Stacey – Grand Rapids, MI
Let's face it: floating and surface plants, like lilies and hyacinths, are the rock stars of any water garden. They're the show-offs, the preeners, the colorful ones that visitors "ooh" and "aah" over; the divas that pond owners proudly feature on center stage.
But, may we ask, where would the rock star be without his support crew – the techies, the roadies, the groupies? Still playing air guitar in front of his mirror, that's where. Lilies, hyacinths and the like just happen to be the most visible and attractive feature of a supportive ecosystem that should include their plainer relatives – the Submerged plants, like Vallisneria, Red Ludwigia, Hornwort and Parrot's Feather. These worker plants compete with algae for the nitrogen produced by decaying plants and fish waste,produce oxygen to help keep the pond properly aerated,andprovide shade and shelter for koi and other fish. Submerged plants may not be flashy, but they're a critical component in maintaining water quality and general pond health.
The easiest way to add one of these workers to your water garden is to plant its stems in a Laguna Submersible Pond Planting Basket along with an ample supply of Microbe-Lift® Aquatic Planting Media, and place it on the bottom of the pond. The baskets come in various sizes with mesh sides and bottoms – this allows the plant to seek nourishment outside the basket, without the risk of growing out of control.
Any performer will tell you that a well-fed support crew is a happy support crew. So to make sure your Submerged plants are getting the nutrition they need, we highly recommend the Laguna Temperature Activated Aquatic Fertilizer Spikes, a verbal mouthful that also delivers the goods. Simply push a spike into to the soil near the plant until the cap is just above the surface and you're all set for a year.
So, by all means, add Submerged plants to your water garden and let your lilies rock on!

Who was/is The Coasters ? - CDs, Vinyl LPs, DVD and more
The Coasters
Besame Mucho
Even The Coasters, clown princes of rock and roll, were in a spicy Latin mood. That was the doing of their Atco producers, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, who were enjoying much success applying saucy baion rhythms to the output of The Drifters.
After a stellar 1959 that found them crashing the pop Top Ten three times with the Leiber/Stoller comic playlets Charlie Brown (it's on our previous disc), the Western sendup Along Came Jones, and Poison Ivy, The Coasters cooled off in '60. Their top seller, Wake Me, Shake Me, didn't even crack the Top 50. Another 1960 release, the ghetto vignette Shoppin' For Clothes, was credited to Leiber and Stoller but was an uncredited adaptation of Boogaloo and His Gallant Crew's '56 release Clothes Line (Wrap It Up) on L.A.-based Crest Records. Boogaloo was actually its writer, Kent Harris (eventually authorship was credited to all three).
Closest to the doo-wop tradition was their '60 update of Besame Mucho, the 1940 work of Mexican songwriter Consuelo Velazquez (Sunny Skylar added English lyrics; the title translates to Kiss Me Much). Bandleader Jimmy Dorsey had a huge hit with it in 1944; The Ray-O-Vacs' Decca version went to #5 R&B in 1950. The Coasters' update was done February 26, 1960 at Atlantic's New York studios and spread over both sides of a single. Part 1 rides a surging Latin undertow, bass singer Will 'Dub' Jones stepping up for a rare lead turn (an entirely serious one at that). Carl Gardner, Billy Guy, and Cornel Gunter join in for the bridge, and sax master King Curtis unleashes a barrage of yakety licks near the fade. Fans must have been perplexed; Besame Mucho only made a #70 pop impression that spring.
The Coasters never regained their chart domination, though they did have '61 hits with Little Egypt (Ying-Yang) and Part II of Girls, Girls, Girls. They remained on Atco into the mid-'60s, ex-Cadillacs lead Earl Carroll joining in 1961 and Gunter exiting. A move to Columbia's Date label didn't reverse their fading fortunes. A bewildering array of Coasters groups toured the country from the '70s on. Gunter led one, Gardner another, and there were plenty more with no one recognizable at all. Carl fronted his until shortly before his June 12, 2011 death from heart disease. Gunter was shot to death in his car in Las Vegas on February 26, 1990. Diabetes killed Jones on January 16, 2000, and Guy died November 5, 2002.
Great as The Coasters' hitmaking legacy was, Gardner dreamed of a different career. "My regret is that I didn't get to sing the type of tunes that I would like to have sung, such as a lot of pop things," he said. "I would like to have done a lot of pop, like 'Stardust,' 'Mona Lisa,' 'Willow Weep For Me' things. And jazz, scatting, whatever. But it didn't sell. So a person must go where the bread is."

India doctors remove 232 teeth from boy's mouth
Boy, 17, had a rare condition in which a single gum forms many
Now that's a mouthful.
Doctors in India removed 232 teeth from the mouth of a 17-year-old boy during an operation that took seven hours to complete, Agence France-Presse reported.
Ashik Gavai was brought to Mumbai's JJ Hospital with swelling in his right jaw.
The teen had been suffering for 18 months, and was brought to the city from his village after doctors there couldn't figure out what was wrong, BBC News reported.
Turns out, he was suffering from a rare condition.
"Ashik's malaise was diagnosed as a complex composite odontoma where a single gum forms lots of teeth. It's a sort of benign tumor," JJ Hospital's Dr. Sunanda Dhiware told the BBC.
Doctors had to use a hammer and chisel to get into the gum. Then, little "pearl-sized" teeth started coming out.
Ashik now has 28 teeth and is doing just fine.
His father, Suresh Gavai, told the Mumbai Mirror his son had complained of severe pain a month ago.
"I was worried that it may turn out to be cancer so I brought him to Mumbai," he said.

"Obviously, we wish Solyndra hadn't gone bankrupt," Obama said during a radio interview about the company he visited in 2010 to praise the government's half-baked subsidy program. "Part of the reason they did was because the Chinese were subsidizing their solar industry and flooding the market in ways that Solyndra couldn't compete."
It was not just China though, according to Obama. "But understand: This was not our program, per se," he continued. "Congress — Democrats and Republicans — put together a loan guarantee program because they understood historically that when you get new industries, it's easy to raise money for startups, but if you want to take them to scale, oftentimes there's a lot of risk involved, and what the loan guarantee program was designed to do was to help startup companies get to scale."
Of course, it is true that Congress authorized the unconstitutional "stimulus" bill to further subsidize "green" ventures that investors did not find worthy enough to finance. It is also a fact that the communist dictatorship ruling mainland China — to its own economic detriment — is subsidizing production of solar panels, as are other governments around the world.
But according to critics of the administration and its highly politicized program doling out tax money to favored companies, the President must accept responsibility for the fiasco. "We can see the positive impacts right here at Solyndra," Obama claimed in May of 2010. "Less than a year ago, we were standing on what was an empty lot. But through the [stimulus] Recovery Act, this company received a loan to expand its operations."
Then he boasted of how successful his schemes would be. "This new factory is the result of those loans," he observed. "Before the [stimulus] Recovery Act, we could build just 5 percent of the world's solar panels. In the next few years, we're going to double our share to more than 10 percent." In a 2009 White House e-mail released to Congress, administration officials even claimed Solyndra would be key in "supporting the president's manufacturing strategy."
Unfortunately for taxpayers, who forked over more than half of a billion dollars for Obama's failed solar-power scandal, Solyndra fired all of its employees and declared bankruptcy in August of last year. The public will almost certainly never recover its ill-spent funds.
Plus, the controversy is about more than just one failed company — which happened to be backed by major Obama campaign contributor George Kaiser — receiving federal funds before going bankrupt and leaving taxpayers holding the bag. It is about the Constitution, the free market, and a never-ending parade of government waste.
The President's remarks are "just another example of Obama saying anything to deflect from his failed policies," Republican Party spokeswoman Kirsten Kukowski was quoted as saying by USA Today. "He was happy to tout Solyndra two years ago when he thought it was helpful to him but now that it's failed and cost taxpayers millions of dollars it's someone else's fault."
More than a few Democrats are upset, too. And even the Washington Post called out Obama for the deception. "Success has a thousand fathers. Failure is an orphan. We were reminded of that aphorism when we saw Obama's comments this week regarding the origin of the government loan program that funded now-bankrupt Solyndra," the paper noted.
"We find it hard to believe that any reasonable person could interpret Obama's remarks this week as anything but a distinct effort to put the blame for Solyndra in someone else's pocket," the Post's Glenn Kessler noted in the "Fact Checker" section, awarding Obama two "Pinocchios" representing "significant omissions and/or exaggerations" in his statements. "The president should accept responsibility, not shirk it."
The administration defended itself from accusations of impropriety, and not just for shoveling taxpayer money at Solyndra. Scores of other companies backed by Uncle Sam have gone bankrupt too — a few of them even went bust almost immediately after receiving federal money.
Two Committees in the House of Representatives are currently investigating the growing scandals. And both probes have found a pattern of disturbing information from the administration and the Department of Energy in particular.
"The paper trail released by the White House portrays a disturbingly close relationship between President Obama's West Wing inner circle, campaign donors, and wealthy investors that spawned the Solyndra mess," noted Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.) and Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.), both of whom serve on the Energy and Commerce Committee investigating the solar company scandal.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, meanwhile, is looking at the broader picture: Obama's failed "green" energy policies and the ongoing "stimulus" scandal. And it, too, found a pattern of systematic problems.
"The Committee is actively investigating the DOE's implementation of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act which has been plagued by missed goals, waste of taxpayer funds, and loan guarantees to companies that have failed," charged Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), the chairman of the Committee, in a letter to Energy Secretary Steven Chu. "The American people have a right to know why DOE, under your leadership, has wasted billions of dollars of their money."
One of the controversial DOE-sponsored firms being investigated by Issa's Committee, Beacon Power, quickly went bankrupt despite over $40 million in taxpayer subsidies. And Nevada Geothermal, according to investigators, was already on the verge of failure when the federal government approved a $100-million loan guarantee. Rep. Issa even suggested the Nevada company loan was just a "bailout" of the collapsing firm's creditors.
Chu and other members of the administration have been so uncooperative during the inquiries that Congress has been forced to issue subpoenas and even threaten to bring contempt charges. But last week, after significant delays, the administration handed over a few more of the documents sought by congressional investigators. According to news reports, the information included over 400 pages of previously unreleased White House e-mail communications related to Solyndra.
"These documents, like the over 187,000 pages previously provided by Executive Branch agencies, demonstrate what we have said throughout the course of this investigation: decisions on the Solyndra loan guarantee were made on the merits by the Department of Energy," claimed administration attorneys. "None of the documents support the committee's allegations about favoritism to campaign contributors or improper White House involvement in the decision-making process."
In reality, the new e-mails did reveal some interesting anecdotes. As the White House learned that Solyndra was on the verge of collapse, for example, a massive propaganda effort spanning multiple departments was set in motion to manage the inevitable scandal's press coverage.
House Republicans also noted that many of the documents requested have not yet been handed over. And the investigation will continue, according to news reports.
Incredibly, instead of learning a lesson from the spectacular failure of "green" subsidies costing taxpayers billions of dollars, Obama is now on tour touting more of the same policies. And the Labor Department even issued a study showing how many Americans — thanks largely to government-mandated misallocation of resources — were employed in so-called "green" jobs.
"When you look at the overall portfolio, is it right for us to make sure that we're not just cashing in our chips and letting the Chinese or the Germans develop the technologies that we know are going to be critical in the future?" Obama asked during the radio interview with the Marketplace program. "I'm proud to say that we're going to continue to support it."
Meanwhile, Germany recently decided to slash subsidies for solar power. The communist regime ruling China is on the verge of an economic cataclysm due in large part to central planning, according to analysts. And in Spain, where "green" jobs were heavily supported by tax money, the economy continues to crumble as unemployment hovers at record levels.

New NZ copyright law means ISPs could cash in
Illegal downloaders on your network? Charge the content owners
New Zealand ISPs could have a tidy new revenue stream courtesy of their illegal downloading customers as new copyright laws take effect in September.
New Zealand Commerce Minister Simon Power yesterday announced that a NZ$25 fee will be charged by ISPs to rights-holders, such as movie studios, for processing each allegation of copyright infringement.
New Zealand has one of the highest rates of peer-to-peer infringement in the world, which could mean that ISPs will be raking in fees from the movie, music and digital content industry.
Estimates widely differ on how many copyright infringements currently occur, but one figure in the ministry's regulation consultation put the activity at 5,000 breaches per month, per ISP.
The decision was made by Cabinet when considering technical regulations to underpin the Copyright (Infringing File Sharing) Amendment Act 2011, which comes into effect on 1 September. The government said it would review the fee structure after six months of commercial implementation.
The $25 fee was a compromise between varying demands from the industry, the Telecommunications Carriers Forum had demanded a $40 fee, while some rights-holders have requested zero or $2 fees per transaction.
"For rights-holders, the fee level ensures the regime is a more cost-effective enforcement measure than what is currently available through the courts, and allows them to pursue a reasonable number of alleged copyright infringements to educate internet users. For ISPs, the fee level prevents them from being inundated with alleged copyright breaches to the point they find it difficult to comply with the regime, and allows them to recover a reasonable proportion of their costs," Power said.
As part of the process, once a copyright breach has been found, the ISP will then send three warning letters to the alleged offender. If warning letters fail to resolve the issue, the rights-holder – such as a movie studio or record company – can takes its case to the Copyright Tribunal, which will cost $200.
Under the new laws, the Copyright Tribunal determines the amount awarded to the rights-holder for copyright infringement arising from file-sharing. The maximum penalty is $15,000. ®

It's nearly impossible to walk through an airport or coffee shop without seeing an Eee PC. That's in part because there is a confusing array of overlapping Netbooks that all carry the Asus Eee PC name, despite having different components, prices, and even screen sizes. For $329, the retail-only 1005PEB-RRED01S hits all the major notes, including Intel's current Atom N450 CPU.
Compared with other retail N450 Netbooks we've seen, the Eee PC costs a little less, but savvy online shoppers can find largely identical configurations (such as the Eee PC 1001P) for as little as $299, if they're willing to trade a little hard drive space.
That said, the three retail Netbooks we're looking at in our spring 2010 retail laptop review roundup are all priced within $30 of each other, and have largely similar specs. Between these three, it's mostly a matter of trying them out in person and going for the design and keyboard/touch pad combo that works best for you. (Ours isn't a binding opinion, but of this group, we generally thought the Samsung NP-N210-JA02US had the best touch pad and the Asus 1005PEB had the best keyboard, leaving the Dell iM1012-687OBK slightly behind.)
If you were in a retail store today and saw all three of the Netbooks compared here side by side, we'd give a slight edge to the Asus 1005PEB, thanks to its lower price, good battery life, and decent keyboard.
Price as reviewed $329
Processor 1.6GHz Intel Atom N450
Memory 1GB, 800MHz DDR2
Hard drive 250GB 5,400rpm
Chipset Intel NM10
Graphics Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 (integrated)
Operating System Windows Vista Starter
Dimensions (WD) 10.3 x 7.0 inches
Height 0.80-1.36 inches
Screen size (diagonal) 10.1 inches
System weight / Weight with AC adapter 2.8/3.4 pounds
Category Netbook
The design of this Eee PC 1005PEB is very similar to that of the Asus Eee PC 1005PE we looked at back in December 2009, which was the first Intel Atom N450 Netbook we reviewed. With a slight taper toward the front lip and gently rounded edges on the lid, it's a fairly sleek, mainstream-looking system. Instead of the typical glossy black, this specific version has a matte burgundy chassis, which, if nothing else, is a break from the usual. We've also seen blue and black versions of the same system.
The flat-topped, widely spaced keys on the keyboard are a little different from older Eee PC models, which have flat keys, but which are packed closely together. Typing was relatively easy, but watch out for the slightly smaller-than-usual right shift key, which can be a deal-breaker for some touch typists.
The touch pad is the same small one we've seen on every 1005-series Eee PC, built right into the wrist rest and demarcated by a rectangle of tiny raised dots. Combined with a thin rocker bar for the left and right mouse buttons, it's not our favorite. In comparison, the Samsung NP-N210 has a more traditional, slightly recessed touch pad, with more distinct left and right mouse buttons.
The 1005PEB is stuck with a 1,024×600-pixel screen, while all 11- and 12-inch Netbooks and even some 10-inch models are moving to 1,366×768-pixel displays. Though certainly usable, it feels cramped, especially when scrolling down long Web pages or office documents.
Of the three Netbooks in this part of our spring 2010 retail laptop review roundup, both the Asus and Samsung models had 802.11n Wi-Fi, which the Dell Mini 10 lacked. All three were missing Bluetooth–which can be forgivable in a $299 Netbook, but at $329 or $359, it's less so.
All three systems feature the current Netbook standard–Intel's 1.66GHz Atom N450–which has great advantages over older Atom chips in terms of power efficiency. As we expected, the actual performance differences between the systems were so small as to be statistically insignificant, and each will give you a perfectly fine experience, as long as you keep our standard Netbook admonitions in mind. These systems are all fine for basic Web surfing, e-mail, and light multimedia playback. But any real attempt at multitasking will slow the single-core CPUs right down.
The system's battery life is where the new Atom platform really shines. Asus has always had some of the longest-lived Netbooks, and this 1005PEB ran for 6 hours and 42 minutes on our video playback battery drain test. The Dell actually ran a minute longer, but the Samsung was behind by more than 30 minutes. That all seems impressive, until you note that similar Eee PC models have run past 8 hours on the same test.

Here is a suggestion for your last paragraph:
After my mother's death, there was little money, which has made for financial stress for the family. My father is very old and retired. I still have to study for 2 more years. Fortunately, my sister has graduated and has work. My father sets aside a little money for my tuition. For myself, I have to live using only 100,000 Bath for 2 years. When I am able, I do part time jobs such as photography, event runner and freelance typist to earn extra income.
I still want to study aboard to increase my knowledge. If I get financial support from the university, it would be helpful. Moreover, if I could go to study aboard at your university, I can work a part time job for extra income to buy educational needs and personal things. Since I have earned my own living by myself for the past year, I am sure that I can work part-time and will be able to help support myself. I need assistance to pay for tuition and housing costs.

Okay guys, so I had the idea to make some more fun loving food related stuff since I have been getting requests for me to create some lately. I'm going to start by showing you "how to draw a fortune cookie", step by step. Everyone loves the old tradition of breaking open a fortune cookie after every Chinese dinner meal. I'm not going to lie, I look forward to getting, and picking my cookie to open. I know that these edible treats are mass produced which means so is the fortunes inside them; I just have fun seeing what kind of prediction I'm going to receive on each random day. I had fun drawing a fortune cookie and if you read the fortune, it's left to the viewer's imagination. Enjoy this tutorial guys, and let me know if you had fun tackling the task of making a fortune cookie from scratch. Peace people and enjoy!

An opening seminar entitled "Methodology of Confucian Study" was held at Seoul National University on June 12, 2017, to open a 5-years-long joint research on Confucianism between Korea and France undnder the heading of "Confucian Subject Formation and Governability: Foucault and Habermas' Encounter with Confucianism". In this opening seminar, which was jointly hosted by the Institute for Social Development and Policy Research of Seoul National University, the Department of Asian Studies of Aix-Marseille University (France), and Joongmin Foundation for Social Theory, Prof. Jean-Claude de Crescenzo (AMU) explained the relevance of the Foucault's concept of dispositif to studying Confucian Subject Formation in his keynote speech entitled "Management of Subjectivity: Dispositif and Confucianism." And Prof. Sang-Jin Han proposed a research program to study Confucianism from the viewpoint of Discursive Methodology in his keynote speech paper entitled "Confucian Public Citizen Formation and Governance Model".
Following two keynote speeches, three research projects were presented. Prof. Sung-Min Hong(Dong-A University, Pusan/ Politics) presented why he decided to study the topic of "Empathic Sphere and Confucianism" from the viewpoint of Merleau-Ponty. Dr. Ju-Gang Lee (Kookmin University/Confucianism) explained why he would like to approach "Confucianism as a regime of emotion " from the viewpoint of Spinoza's concept of conatus. And Dr. Young-do Park (Institute for Social Development and Policy Research, Seoul National University/Sociology) proposed a research project of studying "Neo-Confucianism as a project of Enlightenment" and explained his methodological concept of 'the Confucian dialectic of enlightenment'.
About these presentations, Professor Hong-Jung Kim (Seoul National University/Sociology), Prof. Ju-Hyun Cho (Keimyung University/Sociology), Dr. Yong-Wha Jeong (Chairman of Saenal School/Politics) and Prof. Hyun-A Yang(School of Law, Seoul National University/Sociology) made very interesting and heated discussions.

As I understand special relativity, light travels at the same speed in all reference frames.
What I fail to understand is why time dilation would occur in one reference frame, but not by an equal amount in all other reference frames, at the same time.
To put it another way, if I am sitting on earth, observing a space ship that is flying at a speed near $c$, I should observe him moving through time slower than me. However, looking out his window, he should observe me traveling relative to him at a speed near $c$ and should likewise see me moving through time slower than himself.
What am I missing from my understanding of special relativity?

Flight with zoom airlines Ottawa to Montreal then to cartagena was on time. Service was good but the airport time a little long because of picking up people in Montreal. When you get to Cartegena your baggage is check through a machine.
they are 4 restaurant on the roof top it has , a la carte menu bbq on Friday Saturday and Sunday . There is a cafeteria on the ground level where they serve a buffet, sometimes you have a choice of buffet or a la carte excellent food, we never disappointed . There is also a bbq across the street which is called the MARINA PLAZA this restaurant just opens at 7.30 everything is bbq,on Friday and Saturday it is a buffet, live entertainment on Thursday , Friday and Saturdays. The other restaurant is called Gourmet this restaurant is only open for supper it is a sea food restaurant also a la carte but Friday and Saturday it is a seafood buffet this restaurant is closed on Sunday may require reservation depending on the people at the hotel.
4 bars in the cafeteria in the plaza at the pool on the roof that one close at 8.00pm and also the calypso lounge that opens at 6.00pm it has live music on Friday Saturday close on Sunday .the lounge has a revolving floor with a panoramic view of the old and new city.
breakfast standard buffet note this hotel is not a standard all-inclusive it also has customer that pay as you go. The buffet is very standard and become boring real fast if you are all inclusive you can order anything on the menu from filet mignon to shrimps etc.. a la carte had a better choice we never had a bad meal everybody we had talk to said the hotel was recognize for having very good food compared to other hotel. The only place you are restricted a la carte is at the gourmet restaurant. The wine is also included. We were also told that most hotels around us had a lot of restriction on what you could eat.
Over all this is a very hot destination 30c to 35c must say one day it hit 38c the lowest it ever hit was 25c and that is at night at about 11.00pm very humid also.
As for safety we did not feel in any danger very safe to walk the streets at night and during the day in old cartegena and new cartegena . People are very friendly. This is a very clean town they have garbage pick up everyday also the beach is raked every evening.
For the down side of it all was very minor go travel had advertised that the mini bar was included but it was not. Also they said there is a beach club and there is not they do provide chairs and covers at the beach .Over all the worst part are the vendors they bother you almost every were if you don't want to purchase anything be firm but not insulting and they will go away unfortunately another will come.
Just wanted to tell you also since we were only told in the second week that there is a bus from LAS AMERICAS that is a 5 star hotel that we are permitted to use the facilities very nice resort unfortunately our all inclusive does not work there but it is a very nice place to pass the day we would bring some bags of potato chip and water and also beer in a bag .buses past around every two hours there is no charge for this.
We both enjoyed our trip and are confident that you will enjoy it to.
For tours we did not take any only a horse and buggy ride witch is 40,000 pesos that is 20.00 dollars American I found it very enjoyable they bring you to visit the old cartegena it is about a 35 minute tour. The taxis are 4,000 pesos to go to the old city 2.00 dollars American.

N° 72–2002: ESA chairs 16th CEOS (Committee on Earth Observation Satellites) Plenary Meeting
19 November 2002
– the concluding event of a busy and successful chairmanship
The 16th CEOS Plenary Meeting takes place at ESA's ESRIN establishment in Frascati, Italy, on 20 and 21 November. It will be chaired by the ESA Director of Earth Observation Programmes, Professor José Achache, and attended by about a hundred high-level representatives of international space agencies and their major partners, such as the World Meteorological Organization, the United Nations Environment Programme and the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme.
A major issue on the agenda, and the subject of a dedicated preparatory meeting on 19 November, will be the proposal for a follow-up programme in response to the outcomes of the WSSD (World Summit on Sustainable Development) held in Johannesburg in August/September. ESA attended the WSSD as a formal observer in its capacity as Chair of CEOS and participated in negotiation of the final documents adopted by Heads of State. These make a number of specific references to the use of space infrastructure in support of sustainable development, the need for information for improved decision-making and, specifically, the need for observations from space to provide unbiased, freely accessible information about the state of the Earth and its environment.
The proposed ESA WSSD follow-up programme, which will be discussed with UN agencies (WMO, UNESCO, FAO, UNEP), the EU and the World Bank, seeks to engage the international space community in coordinating its activities in joint action to promote the use of Earth observation in support of sustainable development. Two priority areas have been identified and will be the focus of discussion during the CEOS Plenary: the need for general education, training and capacity-building in the use of Earth observation data in developing countries; and the role of Earth observation data in improved water resource management. In addition to identifying specific programme resources in support of these initiatives, ESA will make data available from its Earth observation missions, such as Envisat.
ESA hands over the CEOS chairmanship to NOAA (the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) of the United States for the year 2003, to be followed in 2004 by the representative of the People's Republic of China.

Unleashing the Collective Genius of San Francisco. Interview with
Beverly Pitzer, TransitionSF by Willi Paul, Permaculture Exchange
– excerpt –
"Personally, I don't see competition really playing a role in this movement.
For this global experiment to work, we need cooperation and lots of it.
Competition and a built in sense of scarcity have been the basis of our
economy for a long time. As experts like Richard Heinberg share, we have
reached the limits of growth, and operating in the same competitive mindset
will not help us to build community resilience." BP

STOCKTON - Neighbors and emergency crews credited a woman for helping to save the life of a stabbing victim who ran into a south Stockton apartment complex while fleeing from his assailants Thursday evening.
STOCKTON - Neighbors and emergency crews credited a woman for helping to save the life of a stabbing victim who ran into a south Stockton apartment complex while fleeing from his assailants Thursday evening.
Police, paramedics and firefighters responded to a report of a stabbing near East Church and South American streets at 6:37 p.m. When they arrived, they found a man who appeared to be in his 20s suffering from a severe stab wound to the left arm. The man told authorities he was stabbed by a woman following a dispute at a nearby residence.
Witnesses said the man was bleeding profusely before emergency personnel arrived, leaving a long trail of blood along a sidewalk and a large pool of blood in front of an apartment belonging to the woman who came to his aid.
"I saw him coming this way, and he was getting chased by somebody with a bat," the woman said, speaking on condition of anonymity because she feared for her safety. "I said, 'Sir, you want something to stop the blood?' Blood was just squirting out like a waterfall. The guy was bleeding to death, and some other guy ran up and was still trying to attack him."
The woman said she escorted the victim to her porch, where her child's father wrapped a towel around his arm to stanch the bleeding.
Lorrie Rivera, another resident of the apartment complex, said the man was convulsing and might have bled to death if the anonymous woman hadn't offered to help. "If she wasn't home, he would've died right there," Rivera said.
Officers with the Stockton Police Department arrived to take over first aid until firefighters and paramedics reached the scene. Emergency crews quickly stabilized the man and took him to a hospital for further treatment. The victim was expected to survive, said Officer Joe Silva, a spokesman for the Police Department, but firefighters said it could have been a life-threatening injury if the man hadn't received help right away.
"He was cut pretty deep," said Ralph Ibarra, a spokesman for the Stockton Fire Department. "Responding crews said it could have been a fatal wound if he had not received some sort of first aid right when he did from residents of the apartment complex."

Shootout At Mexican Stadium With About 20,000 Ppl During Soccer Game!
"Tense moments in Mexico as thousands of soccer fans are interrupted by gun fire outside the Corona stadium Saturday in Torreon, Mexico. "It sounded like fireworks, at first," said a Hispanic broadcaster with Telefutura during the live telecast. Thousands of fans started to run immediately to take cover, some down to the field and others to wherever they found themselves shielded. Players on the other hand seemed to run into the locker rooms while it all unfolded. "Loud blasts were heard, presumably from outside. The stadium is in lock down," tweeted Univision's Rosana Franco. News reports from Mexico indicate the shooting took place outside the Corona stadium. ESPN was another Television network that was transmitting the game live and suspended its programming in Mexico after the shooting. The game between the Santos Laguna and Monarcas Morelia soccer teams was playing the 40th minute of the first half when the first gun shots erupted. It was initially believed to be inside the stadium but later reports indicated the shooting was taking place just outside the Corona stadium, in Torreon, home of Santos Laguna. According to later news reports, the shooting was result of an attack on police officers outside the stadium." - Mexico
