What is aspirin (Bayer)?
Aspirin is in a group of drugs called salicylates (sa-LIS-il-ates). It works by reducing substances in the body that cause pain, fever, and inflammation.
Aspirin is used to treat mild to moderate pain, and also to reduce fever or inflammation. Aspirin is sometimes used to treat or prevent heart attacks, strokes, and chest pain (angina). Aspirin should be used for cardiovascular conditions only under the supervision of a doctor.
Aspirin may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What are the possible side effects of aspirin?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop using this medication and call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
- black, bloody, or tarry stools;
- coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds;
- severe nausea, vomiting, or stomach pain;
- fever lasting longer than 3 days;
- swelling, or pain lasting longer than 10 days; or
- hearing problems, ringing in your ears.
Less serious side effects may include:
- upset stomach, heartburn;
- drowsiness; or
- headache.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Read the Bayer (aspirin) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
What is the most important information I should know about aspirin?
There are many brands and forms of aspirin available and not all brands are listed on this leaflet.
Aspirin should not be given to a child or teenager who has a fever, especially if the child also has flu symptoms or chicken pox. Aspirin can cause a serious and sometimes fatal condition called Reye's syndrome in children.
Stop using this medication and call your doctor at once if you have any symptoms of bleeding in your stomach or intestines. Symptoms include black, bloody, or tarry stools, and coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds.
Avoid drinking alcohol while you are taking aspirin. Alcohol may increase your risk of stomach bleeding.
Aspirin is sometimes used to treat or prevent heart attacks, strokes, and chest pain (angina). Aspirin should be used for cardiovascular conditions only under the supervision of a doctor.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking aspirin?
Aspirin should not be given to a child or teenager who has a fever, especially if the child also has flu symptoms or chicken pox. Aspirin can cause a serious and sometimes fatal condition called Reye's syndrome in children.
Do not use this medication if you are allergic to aspirin, or if you have:
- a recent history of stomach or intestinal bleeding;
- a bleeding disorder such as hemophilia; or
- an allergy to an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) such as Advil, Motrin, Aleve, Orudis, Indocin, Lodine, Voltaren, Toradol, Mobic, Relafen, Feldene, and others.
If you have any of these other conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely take aspirin:
- asthma or seasonal allergies;
- stomach ulcers;
- liver disease;
- kidney disease;
- a bleeding or blood clotting disorder;
- heart disease, high blood pressure, or congestive heart failure;
- gout; or
- nasal polyps.
If you are taking aspirin to prevent heart attack or stroke, avoid also taking ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin). Ibuprofen may make aspirin less effective in protecting your heart and blood vessels. If you must use both medications, take the ibuprofen at least 8 hours before or 30 minutes after you take the aspirin (non-enteric coated form).
This medication may be harmful to an unborn baby's heart, and may also reduce birth weight or have other dangerous effects. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while you are taking aspirin.
Aspirin can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
How should I take aspirin?
Use this medication exactly as directed on the label, or as it has been prescribed by your doctor. Do not use the medication in larger or smaller amounts, or use it for longer than recommended.
Take this medication with a full glass of water.
Taking aspirin with food or milk can lessen stomach upset. Enteric-coated aspirin is specially formulated to be gentle on your stomach, but you may take it with food or milk if desired.
Do not crush, chew, break, or open an enteric-coated or extended-release pill. Swallow the pill whole. The enteric-coated pill has a special coating to protect your stomach. Breaking the pill could damage this coating. The extended-release tablet is specially made to release medicine slowly in the body. Breaking this pill would cause too much of the drug to be released at one time.
The chewable tablet form of aspirin must be chewed before swallowing.
Keep the orally disintegrating tablet in its package until you are ready to take the medicine. Open the package and peel the back cover from the tablet. Using dry hands, place the tablet into your mouth. It will begin to dissolve right away, without water. Do not swallow the tablet whole. Allow it to dissolve in your mouth without chewing.
If you need to have any type of surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you are taking aspirin. You may need to stop using the medicine for a short time.
Do not take this medication if you smell a strong vinegar odor in the aspirin bottle. The medicine may no longer be effective.
Store aspirin at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Since aspirin is often used as needed, you may not be on a dosing schedule. If you are using the medication regularly, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and wait until your next regularly scheduled dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine.
Overdose symptoms may include ringing in your ears, headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, confusion, hallucinations, rapid breathing, fever, seizure (convulsions), or coma.
What should I avoid while taking aspirin?
Do not use any other over-the-counter medication without first asking your doctor or pharmacist. Aspirin is contained in many medicines available over the counter. If you take certain products together you may accidentally take too much aspirin. Read the label of any other medicine you are using to see if it contains aspirin.
Avoid taking an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) while you are taking aspirin. NSAIDs include ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), diclofenac (Voltaren), diflunisal (Dolobid), etodolac (Lodine), flurbiprofen (Ansaid), indomethacin (Indocin), ketoprofen (Orudis), ketorolac (Toradol), mefenamic acid (Ponstel), meloxicam (Mobic), nabumetone (Relafen), naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn), piroxicam (Feldene), and others.
Avoid drinking alcohol while you are taking aspirin. Alcohol may increase your risk of stomach bleeding.
Avoid taking ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) if you are taking aspirin to prevent stroke or heart attack. Ibuprofen can make aspirin less effective in protecting your heart and blood vessels. If you must use both medications, take the ibuprofen at least 8 hours before or 30 minutes after you take the aspirin (non-enteric coated form).
What other drugs will affect aspirin?
Tell your doctor if you are taking an antidepressant such as citalopram (Celexa), duloxetine (Cymbalta), escitalopram (Lexapro), fluoxetine (Prozac, Sarafem, Symbyax), fluvoxamine (Luvox), paroxetine (Paxil), sertraline (Zoloft), or venlafaxine (Effexor). Taking any of these drugs with aspirin may cause you to bruise or bleed easily.
Before taking aspirin, tell your doctor if you are using any of the following drugs:
- a blood thinner such as warfarin (Coumadin); or
- another salicylate such as choline salicylate and/or magnesium salicylate (Magan, Doan's, Bayer Select Backache Pain Formula, Mobidin, Arthropan, Trilisate, Tricosal), or salsalate (Disalcid).
This list is not complete and there may be other drugs that can interact with aspirin. Tell your doctor about all the prescription and over-the-counter medications you use. This includes vitamins, minerals, herbal products, and drugs prescribed by other doctors. Do not start using a new medication without telling your doctor.
Where can I get more information?
Your pharmacist can provide more information about aspirin.
Remember, keep this and all other medicines out of the reach of children, never share your medicines with others, and use this medication only for the indication prescribed.

THE seven-foot henchman who helped a serial killer to randomly attack dog walkers in Hereford has been found guilty of two attempted murder charges.
A jury last week found Gary Stretch guilty of both offences related to the two stabbings in Whitecross and Hunderton last April.
Robin Bereza was attacked on the junction of Holmer Street and Westfaling Street while John Rogers was left for dead on a footpath off Golden Post.
Cambridge Crown Court was told that Stretch's friend Joanna Dennehy had admitted two attempted murder
charges in connection with the Hereford attacks.
Stretch, 48, of Peterborough, had driven Dennehy to the city after she had killed three men in Cambridgeshire.
Dennehy, 31, and from Peterborough, had also admitted three murder charges.
However, Stretch, formerly of Kington, had denied the attempted murder charges and was tried before a jury. He was also found guilty of three counts of preventing the lawful and decent burial of Dennehy's victims in Cambridgeshire.
He will now face sentencing at the Old Bailey, alongside the tattooed triple-murderer Dennehy, in the next couple of weeks.

HOUSTON - World famous heart surgeon Dr. Denton Cooley helped put the Texas Medical Center on the map. But a bitter feud with Dr. Michael DeBakey further fueled the race to be the first and the best.
Cooley, 91, has written about his unique experiences in his memoirs.
Cooley still reports to work every day at the Texas Heart Institute, which he founded. He reluctantly retired from operating years ago, but still keeps abreast of the latest in heart surgery.
"Will you ever completely retire?" KPRC Local 2 anchor Rachel McNeill asked.
"I don't plan to. I hope I don't have to," Cooley said.
Cooley's new book, "100,000 Hearts," chronicles his fascinating life as a pioneer in the field of cardiac surgery.
Cooley said he wrote it for two reasons -- as a written history for his children and grandchildren, and to clarify some perceived misconceptions about his longstanding rivalry with DeBakey.
"I wanted to set the record straight, or at least set it straight from my standpoint," Cooley said.
In 1968, in the race for "firsts," Cooley performed the first successful heart transplant in the United States.
A year later, he implanted the first artificial heart. DeBakey maintained the device was taken from his lab without his permission. To this day, Cooley defends his actions.
"Would you have done anything differently?" McNeill asked.
"I don't believe so. I have no regrets about the things that I did and the courage that I demonstrated in order to explore new fields," Cooley answered.
The rift lasted four decades until the two finally buried the hatchet in 2007.
The following year, DeBakey passed away.
"It was something that gave me a lot of satisfaction -- to have that reconciliation and I still can't forget some of the things that he did or challenges he put to me that I thought were unfair," Cooley said.
The memoir is a page-turner, taking the reader inside the operations that saved countless lives.
"It's a great feeling of comfort or reward when some 50-year-old patient will tell me that I operated on them when they were 2 weeks old, and they felt like their life was made possible from that surgery. Not many other professions can enjoy those kind of rewards," Cooley said.
But despite all his accomplishments, Cooley said his greatest pride is nestled in the heart of the Texas Medical Center.
"I think the Heart Institute, the Texas Heart Institute, will endure and provide my real legacy in surgery," Cooley said.
Cooley has been awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the National Medal of Technology.
When asked what his dream job would have been had he not become a world-class surgeon, Cooley answered, "a professional golfer."

For all that use a horizontal smoker I have a couple of questions. I have the Charbroil Silver Smoker (made by New Braunfels) very similar to the Brinkmann Pitmaster Deluxe.
Has anyone made the modifications I found on the Smokering? Do you agree with placing the thermometer lower to the grill as opposed to the higher placement the factory has it at?
Do you use a grate in the fireboxe for the coals or do you build your fire directly on the bottom of the firebox? I found the grate that came with the smoker is a litte small to hold a good amount of coals.
Any other suggestions or advice on using this type of smoker would be appreciated. I know Vinsect has this smoker. If you have any little tricks I would like to hear them.
Thanks all.

Gators have tough challenge at Wisconsin
Published: Tuesday, November 12, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 11, 2013 at 11:52 p.m.
Florida coach Billy Donovan understands the challenge that awaits the Gators on Tuesday night at Wisconsin.
Who: No. 11 Florida Gators (1-0) vs. No. 20 Wisconsin Badgers (1-0)
Where: Kohl Center, Madison, Wis.
When: 9 p.m.
Radio: AM 850, 103.7 FM
Donovan has taken a tough stand by forcing senior point guard Scottie Wilbekin, sophomore forward Dorian Finney-Smith and junior center Damontre Harris to sit out a national-showcase game for disciplinary reasons. But the veteran coach also knows that Florida will need to play better in all phases in order to have a chance in Madison against the Badgers.
Florida's season-opening 77-69 win over UNF on Friday underscored UF's issues on defense. The short-handed Gators, playing with a rotation of eight scholarship players and two walk-ons, allowed the Ospreys to shoot 40.6 percent from the field and 37.5 percent from 3-point range.
"If we play that way like we did on Friday, we have no shot to win the game," Donovan said,
Donovan has challenged his three seniors — forward Casey Prather, forward Will Yeguete and center Patric Young, to provide leadership and production on the road. Prather couldn't have done much more against UNF, finishing with a career-high 28 points and 8 rebounds. But Yeguete (2 points, 5 rebounds, 4 steals) and Young (2 points, 2 rebounds, 2 blocked shots) struggled, going a combined 0 for 6 from the field.
"Those guys have got to be the anchor, the foundation," Donovan said.
Defending the 3-point line has been another issue for the Gators. Florida allowed nine 3-pointers against UNF after giving up 13 3-pointers in its exhibition win over Florida Southern. Wisconsin made 11 3-pointers in its season-opening 86-75 win over St. John's.
"He's really been harping on us getting as a team defensively," Florida sophomore guard Michael Frazier II said. "And this team that we're playing is a really good team. They move the ball well, they spread the floor with shooters and they know what they're doing on offense. So if we don't come ready to play, focused on the defense, then they're going to clog us up."
Freshman point guard Kasey Hill will be thrown into a hostile environment in his second career game. The 6-foot-1 McDonald's All-American was up and down in his college debut, overcoming first-half foul trouble to finish with 15 points and 4 assists.
Frazier provided a nice boost for Florida off the bench and will need to continue to provide some punch from the perimeter. When Florida beat Wisconsin 74-56 last season at the O'Connell Center, departed senior Erik Murphy went 10-for-10 from the field for 24 points. Florida shot just 20 percent from 3-point range (2-10) in its season opener, though Frazier is a proven shooter (46.8 percent from 3-point range as a freshman) capable of getting on a roll.
Frazier is still recovering from mononucleosis and was in-and-out of workouts over the weekend. But the 6-foot-4 guard is feeling closer to 100 percent.
"I'm not 100 percent but I'm getting better every day," Frazier said.
Frazier said Florida players are looking forward to the tough early test. The game will air on ESPN2 and is part the network's two-day college basketball marathon.
"It's a huge challenge," Frazier said. "But in order to be a great team, you have to take on challenges head on and give your best shot because Wisconsin is a very good team. We've got to be ready to play them."
Who: No. 11 Florida Gators (1-0) vs. No. 20 Wisconsin Badgers (1-0)
When:9 p.m.
Where: Kohl Center, Madison, Wis.
Gainesville-area TV: ESPN2
Gainesville-area radio: AM 850, 103.7 FM
G Michael Frazier II 6-4 So. 19.0 ppg, 9.0 rpg

F Sam Dekker 6-7 So. 16.0 ppg, 7.0 rpg
C Frank Kaminsky 7-0 Jr. 2.0 ppg, 3.0 rpg
Notes: Florida is 2-1 all-time against Wisconsin, including a 74-56 win over the Badgers at the O'Connell Center last season. … Led by senior forward Casey Prather's 28 points, the short-handed Gators downed UNF 77-69 in their season opener. … Florida made its first 17 free-throw attempts in the win and finished 27 of 32 (.844) from the charity stripe. … Florida will be facing a ranked team for the first time this season. Last season, Florida went 4-2 against ranked team ranked in AP Top 25, but 0-2 on the road. … Wisconsin played Florida last season without point guard Josh Gasser, who finished with 19 points and 8 rebounds in the Badgers' season-opening 86-75 win over St. John's. …. Wisconsin returns two starters from a team that finished 23-12 and reached the NCAA Tournament last season.
Three things to watch
1. Prather vs. Dekker
Florida forward Casey Prather is playing with a high-level of confidence after his 28-point game against UNF. "For the first time in his career, he's playing with a clear head," Florida coach Billy Donovan said. But Prather will face an interesting challenge facing Wisconsin sophomore forward Sam Dekker, who is coming off a 19-point, 8 rebound game against St. John's. Donovan said Prather will get help guarding Dekker. Donovan knows Dekker's ability, having coached the 6-foot-7 forward on his gold-medal winning Team USA 18-under team two years ago. "I have a lot of respect for him," Donovan said. "He's got constant movement, great energy. I do think early in his career he's probably been hobbled, has deal with some ankle injuries, but he appears to be pretty healthy right now."
2. Staying out of foul trouble
Patric Young and Kasey Hill each picked up two first-half fouls against UNF. The foul trouble hamstrung the Gators at the point guard spot because the Gators don't have a natural backup at the position with Scottie Wilbekin suspended. Florida tried several different options at the point guard spot with Hill on the bench, including DeVon Walker, Michael Frazier, Dillon Graham and walk-on Billy Donovan. Donovan wants his team to maintain a level of aggressiveness on defense without fouling. "you can go in there to any game trying to stay out of foul trouble, and if you do that, what happens is you become very weak defensively, become weak at the basket and inevitably you give up way too high of a percentage," Donovan said.
3. Getting the big guy involved
Hampered with foul trouble, Florida senior center Patric Young finished with just two points on two-shot attempts. Florida freshman point guard Kasey Hill said after the game he felt the Gators could have done a better job of getting Young the ball in the post. Young has a favorable matchup inside against the less athletic 7-foot Wisconsin center Frank Kaminsky. "We're going to try to get him more involved early on in the game," Florida sophomore guard Michael Frazier said. "Establish the inside presence and then play inside-out. "

Which is more probable: Africa becomes a virtual international province of China, the main source of its sub-soil assets, and the major component of China's strategy for its own domestic stability; or China becomes a way African nations upgrade their economies and integrate into the global value chain for manufacturing. The answer lies in the demographics of China, and what African nations decide to do next.
The greatest challenges facing China are an ageing population, gender disparity, migration to cities, rural health care and income inequality. Poverty declined from more than 60 per cent to less than 7 per cent since 1978, eradicating more poverty than in the rest of human history. That happened because of China's "going out" into the world strategy and Africa is, arguably, the most important part of that strategy. Read more

Last September I discussed Amazon's Createspace which allowed you to print on-demand CDs and sell them at Amazon.com. There is another player in this space that recently caught my eye called Audiolife. It takes the Createspace model further by also giving you print on-demand merchandise and gives you a portable (embeddable) shop you can place anywhere around the net. You can also sell downloads and buy CDs and merch at a discounted price to sell at shows. The best part of Audiolife is that there are no up-front costs.
"The overarching goal of Audiolife's trailblazing technology is to give artists an opportunity to generate streamlined revenue without incurring thousands of dollars in up-front costs. By designing and creating a front-end that is both user-friendly and relevant to the changing dynamics of consumer behavior, while providing resources to support a virtual storefront with back-end manufacturing and distribution capabilities, Audiolife has truly created a service that provides a 360º solution." – audiolife.com

Topic: Dr Kato
I learned about Dr Kato on this website back in June. We have been funneling all the reports/MRIs/CTs from Mayo to Dr Kato. Dr Kato's opinion is surgery can be done. My dad met with him this week.
To date my dad has been getting treated at Mayo Rochester and Mayo was saying no surgery. He was being treated thru chemo. Incredibly grateful for Mayo as my dad did run into an infection that I believe, because of all the experts at Mayo, his life was spared from the infection.
However, one of the first postings I read on line here said you cannot get too many opinions when it comes to this cancer. We are also exploring one other avenue thru another cancer institute. However, right now surgery appears to be an option thru Dr Kato. It will be intense, but given the alternative, it seems to be the right direction to go at this moment.
Thank you, thank you for those who are dedicated to keeping this website alive for those in need around answers for this cancer.

History sets a man on a plinth. Biography's job, on page or screen, is to take him off it and render him human. In Lincoln director Steven Spielberg and screenwriter Tony Kushner – reluctant to lose the myth while chasing the man – achieve what may be cinema's most accomplished bid to have it both ways. One moment the makers are like Lilliputians running around their Gulliver: ambitious painterly compositions, sculptural gestures, inspirational music, all the aesthetic scaffolding required to portray Daniel Day-Lewis's president as a giant among immortals. The next moment – or often the same moment – they give him a human nearness, a warmth of idiom and a touching, believable vulnerability.
Their snapshot of history, boldly miniature, is taken during Lincoln's last but enduring major political initiative: the bid to pass the 13th Amendment decreeing the abolition of slavery. Anyone who believes that "whipping" is a modern political phenomenon needs to study it in action here. Basing their scenes on Doris Kearns Goodwin's Lincoln tome Team of Rivals, Spielberg and Kushner depict the often frantic, frequently borderline-corrupt lobbying, bribing and browbeating that preceded the passage of the emancipation bill.
It proves a miraculous match between movie and subject. On screen, grand cinema gets into bed with a busy, breathless intimism and scurries of promiscuous interaction between co-stars distinguished enough, normally, to be granted their own moments of sovereign grandstanding. In history Lincoln tried to preserve his outward honour and high gravitas while licensing, if not practising, weeks of low political chicanery and backroom brokering. The end justifies the means? Try to argue that it didn't, in Washington back in January 1865.
The cast is a surge of top Hollywood character actors determined to transcend their beards, hairpieces and funny costumes. It is amazing that we soon know who all these people are historically, not simply that they are Tommy Lee Jones in a curly wig (Thaddeus Stevens), Sally Field in a mob cap (Mrs Lincoln) or James Spader with a paunch and spade beard (chief bully of reluctant yea-voters). It is more amazing that we come to care who they are.
Daniel Day-Lewis is now an official screen phenomenon. He played a scheming, grandiloquent American power broker in There Will Be Blood. Here he plays another and the actor is unrecognisable. Reedy, husky, high-voiced – as sources insist Lincoln was – this Abe still makes a table shake with his passionate conviction and can still spellbind a listener (a cobra transfixing its victim) with a seemingly trivial anecdote that subtly identifies and impales the point he wants to persuade us with. By stepping into history without fear, favour or any overfamiliar biopic folly, Lincoln, handsome, often thrilling, and movingly human, goes into history as a major movie achievement.
More on American politics of confrontation; more on "means and ends". Kathryn Bigelow, director of Zero Dark Thirty (and before that The Hurt Locker), has little use for bleeding hearts except when they can be thrown through cage bars to the ravenous or indignant. Her new film narrates the finding and killing of Osama bin Laden. It chucks a lot of red meat at liberals seeking outrage fodder. That fodder will include, for some, the taunting gestures of tokenist anguish in early scenes – the gulps and winces of star Jessica Chastain, playing heroine Maya, partly based on the real CIA investigator who unearthed America's Enemy Number One, as she watches waterboarded Arab prisoners.
Torture? All part of the game, argues the movie. (Maya is soon as unrepentant as the rest.) And the game was set in motion – with its own rules – by 9/11, whose harrowing emotional white noise (the screams, sobs, muffled valedictory phone calls) is sound-montaged against a black screen at the film's start. Zero Dark Thirty is for the gung-ho and their friends and families. I admire Bigelow's bloody-mindedness (in all senses) as she and scenarist Mark Boal plough their gore-spattered furrow, demonising the murderously determined on the enemy side while asking us to applaud – or to consider doing so – the murderously determined on our side.
Whether you want to call the CIA and its soldiers "our" side after seeing this film may be debatable. But the first victor of good storytelling is honesty. If information was learnt through torture, let's know it. Equally, if there are hints that torturing didn't lead to material revelations, only to blind alleys, let's be honest there too, and the film is. Many early leads led nowhere. Late on, it's a tiny forgotten dossier – rather than a writhing specimen of humanity under duress – that tips the wink to Bin Laden's whereabouts.
Since Zero Dark Thirty lasts 157 minutes, we get all imaginable views of the witchy pentacle that is covert US military politics. Inside the pentacle: the experts and their spells, schemes and sado-inquisitorial methods. Outside: the baying reality of jihad and its atrocities. Two terrible extremes: pick your evil. Bigelow, for all her film's length, never ceases to "cut to the chase", lucidly and intelligently sequencing the key events, dealing out chapter headings as briskly when they are abstractions – "Human Error", "Tradecraft" – as when they are macabre co-ordinates: "CIA Black Site Gdansk Poland". Little-known faces dominate the supporting cast, except when the director wants a sly touch of opera buffa (James Gandolfini as CIA head). Weirdly but effectively, several actors are Brits or Aussies doing US accents (Jennifer Ehle, Joel Edgerton), picked as if to push the acoustic a little more towards creepy guile, if Brits, or macho ebullience, if Aussies.
The weakest link is the composited heroine. As well as Maya's seeming a construction rather than a character Jessica Chastain – for this viewer at least – still trails clouds of incongruous pantheistic passivity from Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life. That chaste, pre-Raphaelite face, pale and incandescent, makes as if to idealise this warrior and her war. But if the end of the hunt for Bin Laden was laudable – the death of an al-Qaeda monster – the means were often ugly. That combination of opposites should have been more clearly reflected in the film's protagonist.
In The Last Stand the ex-governor of California turns his sword back into a ploughshare. Once more a humble tiller of Tinseltown soil, Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a German-born Texas sheriff who deputises his small-town riff-raff (High Noon or Rio Bravo style) to foil the bid of an escaped Hispanic prisoner, broken from a city jail, to leap the border canyon to Mexico. The fugitive is helped by a home-made bridge, a near-supersonic Corvette and a Swedish-American nutter (Peter Stormare) leading an advance thug militia into Sheriff Arnie's Sommertown.
Rubbish? Yes. But some rubbish is more planet-friendly than other rubbish. This film is spry, funny, tense and action-packed, just like Arnie-works used to be. The Korean direction and cinematography help, building to a scenic finale batty with quasi-Asian bravura. It won't make up for the Californian state budget debacles. But it's good to see Arnie moving back to the kind of public service he does best.

It's more than just alliteration; it's a statement, a proclamation that Thursdays are when the weekend should really start. Kicking it off right is the key, and what better way than with a cocktail that not only takes the edge off, but tastes good too. Last week we stirred up a season-appropriate Autumn Colors Cocktail; this week we're back with an ode to October.
September having come and gone, it's about time to start setting your sights on October and the year's most haunted holiday: Halloween. Pumpkin carving and costume-wearing are sure-fire ways to get started, but sip on something spooky and alcoholic to get all the ghastly good times going even sooner. With dark rum, dry vermouth, and an eerily orange-colored salt rim, The Black Devil Martini is just what the Dracula ordered.

HOUSTON - An unruly student was pepper-sprayed at a southwest Houston high school on Thursday, school district officials said.
Houston firefighters were called out to Madison High School, 13719 Whiteheather, about 2:45 p.m.
Houston Independent School District officials said a student who had been suspended went to the campus and a teacher asked him to leave.
The student became aggressive and assaulted a police officer, officials said.
The police officer used pepper spray to subdue the student, school district officials said. The student was then taken into custody.
HISD police will consult with the Harris County District Attorney's Office to determine if any charges will be filed.
The school district declined to release any information regarding the student's identity or why the student had been suspended.

BASINGSTOKE Town return to action after more than two weeks without a game tomorrow night – and manager Jason Bristow says his side cannot afford to take Hampshire Senior Cup opponents GE Hamble lightly.
The south Hampshire side may play their football in the Wessex League but Bristow is expecting a difficult evening for his side, who last played a competitive match on November 17.
"Hamble are a decent side," the Town boss said. "They have spent a lot of money and got some players in so it will be tough, as every game is. We have to make sure we approach it in the right way and get the win we are looking for.
"The game has come at a good time for us, giving us a competitive fixture before we get back to league action. It will be good to have this match to get us up to speed before the Tonbridge game and the players should be fresh and ready to go."
The county cup traditionally sees managers rest first team regulars – but Bristow says that he is taking the competition seriously and has his sights set on an appearance in the final at St Mary's.
"The Hampshire cup is a competition that we want to win and it takes on even greater significance now we are out of the other two cup competitions," he said. "We said at the start of the season that we wanted to have a good run.
"It's a nice competition, the final is played at a nice venue and it gives the supporters something to cheer at the end of the season.
"We will put out a strong side and look to progress. Wes Daly and Delano Sam-Yorke are suspended but other than that it will be our first team squad and we will be looking to win.
"We are also hoping that Ross Adams will feature as he works his way back from injury. It will be great to see him out on the pitch again."
One player who will miss the game is midfielder Jide Ogunbote, who has returned to the club after his leg injury flared up again during a loan spell with Dulwich Hamlet.

Medical Definition of Functional scoliosis
Functional scoliosis: A structurally normal spine that appears to have a lateral curve (scoliosis).
Nonstructural scoliosis involves a temporary change of spinal curvature. This is caused by an underlying condition such as a difference in leg length, muscle spasms, or inflammatory conditions, (e.g. appendicitis), which may produce muscle spasm. Functional scoliosis is treated by correcting the underlying problem. The spine itself needs no treatment.
Functional scoliosis is also called nonstructural scoliosis as opposed to structural scoliosis in which there is a fixed curve of the bones of the spine (the vertebrae).

Search through millions of records to find out more.
October 26, 1918 — Budapest, Hungary
When Agnes was a teenager, she attended Budapest's prestigious Baar Madas private school, run by the Hungarian Reformed Church. Although she was the only Jewish student there, Agnes' parents believed that the superior education at the school was important for their daughter. Agnes' father, a textile importer, encouraged his daughter to think for herself.
1933-39: In 1936 I studied educational techniques with Signora Maria Montessori in Italy and earned a diploma so I could teach. Hoping to improve my French, I traveled to Switzerland in 1939. On September 9, while swimming with friends at Lake Geneva, I met some Polish Jews attending a Zionist Congress. Suddenly, news blared that Germany had overrun Poland. Frightened and still in swimsuits, the Poles ran to try to call their families.
1940-44: In Budapest in 1944 I worked for Raoul Wallenberg, a Swedish diplomat working to save Jews. That December, the fascists ordered Jews executed at the banks of the Danube River. The Jews were tied in groups of three, and the person in the center was shot so all three fell in and drowned. Wallenberg asked his staff, "Who can swim?" I said that I could. We rushed to the water's edge, and when a group fell in we'd plunge into the icy river. We rescued 50 people. Later, I got sick and fell into a coma for a day and a half.
After the war, Agnes went to Sweden and Australia, and moved to America in 1951. Later, she dedicated herself to writing and teaching about Wallenberg and his actions.

HOUSTON - I feel there are two different shows happening here (like, in our reality. Not in Michael's dual realities. Although technically there are two shows happening there, too. But I'm talking about our reality. Which is different from Michael's reality. I mean, realities. I mean. Oh god.) On the one hand, we have a very interesting psychological thriller about a man trapped in a potentially self-inflicted purgatorial dream state, where he alternatingly gets to live with both his wife and his son, but ultimately doesn't get to live with either, since he's never sure which one is real and which is an invention of his subconscious. This show has compelling characters, a creative story line and an engaging way of using various lighting cues, costumes and other subtle hints to include the viewer in the mind game. If you watch closely, the filters are tinted red and green in each reality, giving everything a particular hue. Detective Vega (Wilmer Valderrama) wears a red shirt and tie indicating the wife's reality. The interrogation room is tinted green in the son's reality. It's fairly ingenious.
I like this show.
On the other hand, we have a weak attempt at a detective drama, where the main character doesn't really seem to be a very good detective at all. He just gets to cheat because he's brain damaged. The crimes aren't even all that interesting; in fact, I'm pretty sure I've seen every crime scenario thus far on an episode of Law & Order (although, to be fair, they've pretty much covered every possible circumstance on one of the show's various incarnations). I like Steve Harris's detective character, but I'm still not convinced Wilmer Valderrama can carry his role as a straight man, mostly because I still hear Fez every time he speaks and it makes me chuckle at inappropriate moments.
I'm not the biggest fan of this show.
So, not only is the main character of Awake living dual lives, the viewers are, too. (INTERACTIVE TELEVISION!) I spend half my time thoroughly engaged as Michael attempts to be a better father and husband to his son and wife, respectively, and I really appreciate the contrasting perspectives of the two shrinks. But then we get to the crime-solving part of the show, and I am distinctly less interested. Everything I've written applies until we get to the very end of this week's episode, and then this wonderfully constructed examination of a television show goes to pot. More on this later.
This second episode finds Michael getting better at using information from one reality and applying it to the other in order to get closer to both his wife and his son, from something as small as using a certain fabric softener to remind Rex of his mother, to helping Hannah reconstruct her feelings about her lost son by encouraging her to engage with physical memories of Rex instead of avoiding them. He seems to have a better handle on transitioning between realities, and now we also have a clearer indicator in the form of a Rorschach test that flashes as we move from one reality to the other. Things are really starting to gel. The more aggressive Dr. Lee is intent on getting Michael to abandon the "green" reality where his son lives and stick to the "red" one in order to heal, while the seemingly more open-minded Dr. Evans encourages the link between the two, saying that accessing his subconscious will ultimately be an aid in the healing process.
On the "green" policing side of things, Detectives Britten and Bird are investigating the murder of a fertility doctor who, on the "red" side, is a homeless man whose death interests no one but Detective Britten. As Michael investigates the homeless man's death on the "red" side, he interviews a witness (albeit a clearly mentally challenged homeless man with a penchant for chewing gum) that pinpoints a "little guy" as the culprit. This clue then informs the entirety of Britten's search in the other reality, which is kind of lacking in any real detective work. Eventually, Michael solves the case on the "green" side by ruling out the lead suspect based on, you guessed it, height. The case of the dead homeless man on the "red" side, however, goes unsolved, which Dr. Evans considers a message from Michael's subconscious having to do with his son, but probably has more to do with the fact that his boss, the police chief, got in the way of his investigation.
The police chief (Laura Innes), whom you might recognize from her roles on ER and The Event (what? No one watched that show about aliens invading the planet shown from a political, diplomatic perspective even though it was awesome, so NBC canceled it and broke my sci-fi loving heart? Oh.), starts meddling in Michael's investigation, telling him to abandon the "little guy" lead on the dead homeless man and focus on other cases. Right off the bat you can tell somethin' ain't right with this lady, but it isn't until the last few moments when things get interesting. We see the chief sitting on a park bench, talking to an ominous-looking dude about how she is "handling" the Britten situation. She directly refers to the "taking out" of his entire family and insists that the man make no other moves to contain Britten, and that she has everything under control. So then, what is the deal with the police chief? She clearly knew about the plan to off Michael and his family, but how is she involved? What did Michael do to deserve such treatment? Does she exist in the same capacity in both realities? Is she aware of the fractured consciousnesses? And what does being short have to do with all of this?!?
If you don't have questions at the end of an episode like this, there's something wrong with the show. So, things bode well for the series, methinks!
Check in next week for more red-light-green-light-inspired mind games.
Thanks for reading, and as always, thanks for watching KPRC Local 2!

The family of four-year-old Freya Wells, who died of septic shock at Kingston Hospital after "flagrant and extreme" failings, have paid tribute to a "happy, playful little girl".
The inquest into Freya's death was concluded this morning, with coroner Dr Sean Cummings at a loss for words to address her mother, Carly, after the distressing three day proceedings.
Dr Cummings said in summing up that Dr Rosita Ibrahim, the registrar in charge of Freya's care, "was out of her depth" the night the little girl was admitted to hospital, and that the severity of Freya's illness "was obvious to every other clinician at the time".
The inquest heard from a fellow doctor last Friday that Dr Ibrahim's examination of Freya was "perfunctory".

Freya's aunt Lindsay Wells read a statement outside West London Coroner's Court this morning, on behalf of her sister.
She said: "I am relieved and pleased that the coroner's inquiry has determined what really happened on November 21 and 22, 2012 leading to the tragic death of my beautiful little daughter Freya.
"She was a happy, playful little girl who had a beautiful smile bringing happiness to us and everyone in her life.
"She leaves a loving extended family whose lives have been shattered as a result of her tragic death and we can now only take comfort from happy memories of her short life.
"We wish to make it clear that we have always respected the medical profession and continue to do so.
"We know their work is difficult at times and mistakes can be made.
"However, we believe the Coroner's Inquiry has shown Freya was a very sick child who needed basic but nonetheless urgent specialist medical attention which sadly she never received.
"It is now clear that one doctor in particular grossly failed Freya, us and her own colleagues on the night in question which has changed our lives forever.
"We were shocked to hear her say during her evidence that she accepted the panel's findings that she had failed to recognise respiratory distress in the accident and emergency department and failed to recognise the severity of Freya's condition including signs of septic shock until she spoke to the on-call consultant.
"Sadly, she now states that had she appreciated the severity of Freya's condition she would have given IV antibiotics and a fluid bolus which we now know was extremely likely to have saved my beautiful little daughter's life.
"We hope that she fully understands the pain and sorrow that has been caused due to her direct actions.
"We are also pleased that the coroner will be recommending suspension of the Dr Ibrahim's licence pending a formal investigation.
"We also hope that at least systems will now be improved in the future as a result of Freya's untimely death which will hopefully result in better treatment for other children who attend for emergency care under the control of Kingston Hospital".
Solicitor Rankeshwar Batta, acting for the Wells family, said: "This case was all about inadequate communication, the failure to recognise an obvious and escalating high risk condition and most importantly, taking personal responsibility to ensure appropriate treatment and a specialist referral was in place for a very sick child.
"We have heard evidence throughout the Inquest that a child with symptoms like Freya who goes into hospital should survive unless there are exceptional circumstances and that the diagnosis of septic shock should have been made at a much earlier stage.
"We will now consider next steps with Freya's mother in respect of any formal action she may wish to take against the Kingston Hospital."

Since Spanish syllables are maximally Cj/wVC, it should work fine. The difficulties come only from the use of digraphs. These wouldn't be necessary if we didn't need to rely on pre-existing jamo and could freely use obsolete characters (e.g. ㅿ) or add diacritics to existing ones.

Mal Maiden: Mackenzie takes over at BHP
Business columnist Malcolm Maiden takes a look at the appointment of Andrew Mackenzie to succeed Marius Kloppers at BHP.
That's the message from the mining giant's chairman, Jac Nasser, following the announcement this morning that BHP Billiton's chief executive Marius Kloppers will make way for Andrew Mackenzie, the 56-year-old head of its non-ferrous business.
"We've chosen a new leader - that doesn't mean we've chosen a new strategy," Mr Nasser said at a press conference today.
While the timing of the announcement, just minutes before BHP Billiton reported its first-half profits for the 2012-13 financial year, took some analysts by surprise, they said the leadership change was not unexpected and could signal a gradual shift in the company's focus towards oil and gas.
Shift in focus?
Much has been made of Mr Mackenzie's illustrious academic background and decades-long experience in blue-chip companies.
Mr Mackenzie has a bachelor of science in geology, a PhD in chemistry and has published more than 50 research papers. He spent more than 20 years at BP in senior technology and petrochemical positions before heading up Rio Tinto's industrial minerals division in 2004.
His depth of experience in oil and gas and base metals meant he was the ''right appointment'' for BHP, Paul Young of Deutsche Bank said.
"The key going forward for BHP, if you look at their growth beyond iron ore and [metallurgical] coal, is their growth in petroleum and base metals and potash," Mr Young said.
"So therefore if the incremental dollar for the company beyond iron ore and met coal is going into petroleum and the non-ferrous division, then he is the right appointment to deliver on the growth beyond that.
"He has great understanding of the US onshore business and of the more difficult technical assets in the portfolio - growth assets such as Olympic Dam and Jansen."
The reality is commodity prices are no longer rising, so he needs to be much more focused on removing costs out of the business.
But Mr Nasser was quick to point out that Mr Mackenzie's background should not be interpreted as a change in strategy.
"Andrew's got an extremely unique perspective because he spent 30 years in the overall resources sector, of which a big piece of it was upstream, a big piece of it was downstream, and a rare blend of mining with oil and gas.
"So I wouldn't interpret his background into a strategy change."
His message was shared by National Australia Bank strategist Michael Bush, who said Mr Mackenzie's diverse background would have been one of the reasons why he was picked for the top job ahead of Alberto Calderon and Mick Yeager.
"I think it's the broad mix that Mackenzie brings which perhaps some of the others don't have in terms of product oversight," Mr Bush said.
"The company is evolving and … petroleum will be a greater focus for them over the next few years.
"These are gradual evolutionary-type incremental developments rather than any particularly major change that has occurred over the last three months and that would have precipitated the management change."
Mr Bush said while oil and gas would become more of a focus for BHP in the next few years, Mr Kloppers had actually started the wheels turning by acquiring US assets such as gas producer Petrohawk.
Timing of the change
Both Mr Nasser and Mr Kloppers stressed that the time of the change was not influenced by Tom Albanese's departure from rival Rio Tinto last month after weak results.
They instead emphasised that the passing of the baton was part of the company's succession planning process and started the day after Mr Kloppers took on the top job in 2007.
"I can say from a board perspective it was interesting to note, but [it] certainly didn't influence the timing of our decision process," Mr Nasser said of Mr Albanese's ouster from Rio.
"There is no such thing as the perfect time," Mr Nasser said. "If you wait for the perfect time, you will miss it."
Mr Kloppers added that he did not regret the failed bid to takeover Rio Tinto. "The strength of character is shown when conditions change and you change your mind," he quipped.
In a special in-house video outlining the change in command, Mr Kloppers said former BHP chief, Paul Anderson, had told Kloppers upon his promotion to the top position to start thinking of his successor immediately.
''That was good advice,'' Mr Kloppers said. ''One of the first decisions I made was to recruit Andrew,'' making his role in the selection of his successor clear.
Belt tightening
Hayden Bairstow of CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets said the change had come at a time when mining companies were focusing on keeping costs down amid weaker commodity prices.
''I think he was the best man for the job internally. He's familiar with the business having been there for a while.
"The reality is commodity prices are no longer rising, so he needs to be much more focused on removing costs out of the business and making more conservative growth decisions, which in his role ... as the head of the copper business has had its own cost issues in the past."

The Global Dimensions pathway has been discontinued in the Eco-Schools USA program.
Because every environmental issue has both a local and a global component, we encourage schools to integrate global dimensions into every pathway they undertake within the Eco-Schools program.
Today's youth are part of a global society. To be good citizens, they need to be familiar with concepts related to sustainable development and to understand the environmental, social and economic impacts of their actions. They need to be knowledgeable about global issues and to feel empowered to play a part in sustaining our world.

This could be the most physical game of the season. Both teams are staunch on defense with aggressive schemes, and these are pretty fierce opponents.
An Arizona victory puts it in command of the NFC West, but with a daunting schedule ahead: Seven of the Cardinals' final eight games are against teams currently at .500 or better. They are equipped for such a challenge on offense now that Chris Johnson has brought some reliability at running back, and Carson Palmer is the top-rated passer in the NFC at 110.2.
The Seahawks have shown some vulnerability at home for the first time in years, but have matched up well with the Cardinals. Key offseason acquisition TE Jimmy Graham is coming on, so now the Seahawks need to get Beast Mode, Marshawn Lynch, back into his powerful running style.
