Patient Safety 2012: Creating Quality Care for All
Patient Safety 2012: Creating Quality Care for All
Ensuring and safeguarding the safety of patients is an extremely important priority for the health sector. At a time of transition and change for the NHS, making sure that patient needs are prioritised and guaranteeing the best outcomes have been key drivers for reform.
Following the passage of the Health and Social Care Act, the government has put in place plans to reform the structure of the NHS to ensure that it is built around the needs of patients. By putting the patient first, the government believes it can achieve better healthcare outcomes. Key to the governments' NHS reforms is the introduction of the NHS Commissioning Board. Its key role will be to champion patient involvement. As a result, the patient safety function of the National Patient Safety Agency transferred to the NHS Commissioning Board Authority on the 1 June 2012.
Furthermore, the NHS Operating Framework 2012-13, published 24 November 2011, prioritises the achievement of the MRSA and Clostridium difficile objectives. In January this year the government set new objectives set to reduce MRSA and Clostridium difficile for the NHS. The NHS is being asked to collectively reduce the numbers of infections in 2012-13 on MRSA by a further 29% and Clostridium difficile by 17%.

U.S. consumers seem to have started opening up their wallets again, as reflected by a 0.5% increase in retail sales for the month of September. Many retailers are also witnessing increased demand for their products, resulting in great quarterly numbers.
For example, Michael Kors (NYSE:CPRI), a luxury retailer, posted second-quarter results that topped Wall Street's expectations. Driven by increased demand for its fashion accessories, the company's revenue surged 39% to $740.3 million and earnings jumped 45% over last year to $0.71 per share.
Kors witnessed increased customer traffic in its stores, leading to comparable store sales growth of 23%. The company experienced growth in all regions, especially Europe where revenue doubled over last year throughout all segments. Moreover, Michael Kors gave a great outlook .
However, not all companies are able to attract customers so easily. Ralph Lauren's (NYSE:RL) second-quarter results were not as bright as those of its peer and the company was weighed down by unfavourable currency movements. It did manage to meet analysts' expectations, though.
Details of the quarter
Revenue increased a meager 3% as sales growth in Europe and America was offset by weaker demand in Japan. Same-store sales dropped 1%, mainly because of currency fluctuations and lower traffic in its stores, especially in the months of July and August. The company did witness improving sales in September, however .
Earnings for the quarter dropped 4% as a result of higher investment costs due to store expansion and a new technology platform .
The company managed to report sales growth in both the wholesale and the retail segments because of new stores opened during the quarter and growing traffic on the company's website.
Ralph Lauren is not the only company to face difficulty in selling its products, either--Coach (NYSE:TPR) also reported a lackluster quarter last month. Its revenue decreased 1% to $1.15 billion since its customers shifted to Michael Kors' stores for their needs. As a result, the company's same-store sales decreased by 6.8% due to lower store traffic. Nonetheless, Coach plans to undertake a number of measures to boost its revenue such as expanding its international footprint, enhancing its products, and improving its promotional efforts.
Expansionary measures
Although Ralph Lauren's results were not so attractive, its efforts were. It expanded its product line by offering new products to its customers. The luxury retailer launched the soft Ricky Bag, the Steel Link Stirrup watch, and the Safari watch. These new products should help the company to boost its sales in the fall season.
Its new accessories will also be accompanied by marketing campaigns, which will also help stir demand. Increased efforts in advertising and promotion might prove beneficial for the retailer.
Ralph Lauren's expansion is not limited to products--it has been investing heavily on infrastructure and opening new retail stores. E-commerce operations have also been one of the key areas of focus. The company has launched its e-commerce operations in new countries such as South Korea. It has expanded its distribution center for e-commerce in North America. These efforts should reap rewards in the future.
Final views
Ralph Lauren has been undertaking the right strategies and is set to grow in the coming months. Its new stores will help the company to grow its revenue. Its new product introductions along with higher marketing will help to attract customers in the upcoming holiday season. With an improvement in consumer spending in U.S. as seen in September, this luxury retailer will be able to perform well. Investors should take note of this.

Story highlights
An 18-month-old is thrown from an SUV as it rolls during a chase
The child suffered only minor injuries and has been released from the hospital, police say
Police say they chased the SUV after its occupants fled the scene of a robbery
Teens who were inside the vehicle are charged with robbery, injury to a child
A toddler who was thrown from an SUV during a high-speed chase in Lubbock, Texas, has been released from the hospital, police said Wednesday.
The 18-month-old girl "miraculously" only suffered minor injuries from the incident Tuesday, Lubbock Police Sgt. Jonathan Stewart said.
The girl was riding in a car with a group of teens who police accuse of being involved in an armed robbery in a bar parking lot that night.
Video footage taken from inside the police cruiser chasing the SUV shows the little girl being thrown as the SUV flips, but she immediately stands up and runs after the vehicle through what appears to be broken glass and metal scraps.
The video shows a young woman, identified by Stewart as the child's mother, rushing from the car to the wobbly child, scooping her up and running away.
"I think anybody who looks at that video would be shocked to see the kid actually stand up and be walking around, and seeming OK," Stewart said. "It's pretty miraculous it was just minor injuries that the child sustained."
A 17-year-old, two 16-year-olds and a 14-year-old were in the vehicle, Stewart said.
The 17-year-old was the child's father, Kenny Shawn Jimenez, and one of the 16-year-olds was her mother, according to CNN affiliate KCBD.
The chase began after 19-year-old Chelsea Betenbough was robbed at gunpoint in a bar parking lot, KCBD reported.
Stewart said the teens, who were driving a stolen SUV, were involved in the robbery and fled the scene. Two of them ran away after the vehicle stopped, Stewart said.
The teens have been charged with aggravated robbery, injury to a child, unauthorized use of a vehicle, evading arrest and organized crime, he said.

Raising Aces
Bush League: Jameson Taillon and Taijuan Walker
In the first edition of Bush League, I discussed the viability of sofa-scouting high-level prospects by scouring the archives of MiLB.tv (for a modest subscription price). I also noted the advantages when evaluating pitchers as compared to position players, given the additional off-camera variables that exist for scouting hitting and defense, along with the caveat that pitchers can have volatile mechanics during their development years. The subjects of the original piece included the top two picks from the 2011 draft, Gerrit Cole and Danny Hultzen, and today we'll take a look at another Pirate-Mariner combination of high-end pitching prospects.
Jameson Taillon and Taijuan Walker were both high-school products of the 2010 draft. Taillon was selected at number two overall by the Pirates, behind top pick Bryce Harper, and Walker was chosen 41 picks later by the Mariners during the supplemental round. I reviewed both pitchers back in July with a brief study of their back-to-back one-inning stints in the Futures Game, and the early returns were impressive. The mechanics of minor-league players are fickle and a pitcher might show different looks on any given day, especially when making a rare relief appearance in a nationally-televised showcase, so the offseason presents a great opportunity to take a deeper look into the performances of these two high-profile prospects.
Jameson Taillon
Taillon made his Double-A debut on August 21st at Trenton, tossing five shutout frames of four-hit baseball and striking out six without walking a batter on his way to earning the big W. He had solid command of a 95-to-97 mph fastball, off-set by a sharp curve with steep break that had batters flailing harmlessly for the whiff. The heater generated few swings-and-misses but a plethora of foul balls, as opposing hitters were unable to square up the pitch to make hard contact.
Taillon's curve was his primary instigator of K's, and he struck out four consecutive hitters on buried curveballs during a stretch of the second and third innings of the ballgame. He demonstrated the ability to drop a curve over the plate for strikes early in the count, but the pitch was most effective when targeted under the zone to hitters who had recently fouled off fastballs. Taillon mixed in some flat change-ups the second time through the order, as well as a tighter version of his breaking ball that was inconsistent yet occasionally effective. The break on his pitches was mostly confined to the vertical plane, with heavy downward movement despite his having a lower arm-slot than one might expect with such a steep trajectory.
Mechanics Report Card
Taillon's pitching delivery is incredibly advanced for his age, with a mechanical profile that is reminiscent of uber-pitcher Stephen Strasburg. Like Stras, Taillon gets above-average marks on every subject of his mechanics report card, with a spike of torque that produces easy high-90s fastballs in addition to the postural stability to repeat his release point. Both pitchers also carry the same risk factors, including the infamous "Inverted-W" and a heavy scapular load, a pair of warning flags that will place an exaggerated emphasis on proper timing in order to avoid the elbow-drag that can occur when such pitchers become fatigued.
It is exceedingly rare to find a pitcher with such an advanced combination of power and finesse, with a blend of heavy torque and solid momentum that is supported by a well-balanced foundation and culminates in consistency and depth at release point. Taillon has made great strides since he was drafted, both literally and figuratively, as he has addressed a previously-weak charge to the plate with early drift and a late burst that gets him closer to the target. He still features a drop in balance after max leg lift, and his head slightly trails the center-of-mass into foot strike, yet those inefficiencies have become minor obstacles to his pitch execution.
Taijuan Walker
Walker's July 14 start versus the Tennessee Smokies exemplified his summer, alternating glimpses of excellence with a number of missed opportunities. His five walks on the day were the most that he allowed in any game last season, and it was one of only two starts on the year that involved multiple home runs being hit off of the right-hander. On the bright side, Walker surrendered just one hit that fell inside the park, and he struck out six Smokies in the contest. Reviewing the game tape reveals a player who pitched much better than the numbers would indicate, with multiple close calls that swayed his final numbers in the K and walk columns.
Walker relied on a heavy mix of fastballs and curves, though he avoided the off-speed stuff after giving up an early blast on a misplaced floater to Cubbie farmhand Michael Burgess. The catcher was setting up on the borders of the strike zone, and Walker was hitting targets with better precision than the walk totals suggest, but even small misfires can be deadly when working on the edges. The extra baserunners did allow Walker the opportunity to impress with his quick pick-off move, the first of which caught a baserunner napping off the first-base bag, though he became trigger-happy later in the game with Junior Lake at first base. After seeing a handful of throws to learn the move, Lake was able to pick his opportunities and steal both second base and third. Several at-bats ended with controversial calls by the home-plate umpire, some of which actually went in Walker's favor.
Mechanics Report Card
Even in a bad game, the highlights of Walker's delivery shone through. He still has work to do in repeating the timing and positioning of his delivery, but the same can be said for nearly every pitcher in the minors, and Walker possesses the fundamental mechanical tools to one day support a consistent motion. His stability ratings are already better than the average major-league pitcher's, as he begins the motion from a balanced position with flex in the knees and is able to maintain that balance through the high-energy phases of the delivery. His posture flashes a grade of 60-plus, and he sits comfortably above average regardless of pitch type.
Walker is just realizing his potential, and similar to the case of Jameson Taillon with the Pirates, the Mariners are more concerned with the functional development of their prized young pitcher than the numbers on his stat page. Walker has room to improve his momentum, which was inconsistent in the Smokies contest yet played stronger in the Futures Game. Ramping up the kinetic energy would test his stability and his strength, but the strategic integration of greater momentum could have a positive ripple effect on the 20-year-old's timing and repetition, especially considering the inconsistent timing patterns that Walker exhibited in the July contest. One can envision a pitcher with plus grades across the board within the next two to three years, and the young Walker has a mentor to guide his apprenticeship in Seattle, where he'll walk in the footsteps of the King.

Good stuff. And I agree that MiLB.TV is an absolute must if you're interested in following your team's prospects and getting at least somewhat of a first-hand view of them to form an opinion of your own.
Feb 01, 2013 08:04 AM
MiLB.TV is amazing, and you can find some of the most bizarre and entertaining footage during the down times. When researching this article, I witnessed a member of the grounds crew nearly get swallowed by a Tarp-nami, and I even saw a Batdog - the golden retriever was trained to fetch the lumber after batted balls.

I'm curious about the combo of Taillon and Cole. What do you see as the major differences and similarities between the two?
Feb 02, 2013 05:47 AM
Both pitchers have elite upside, and each has exhibited excellent mechanics since their amateur days. They both possess elite torque that leads to top-notch velocity. Most impressive is that both pitchers maintain excellent posture combined with the high levels of torque, a rare combination that underscores the maturity of their deliveries.
Feb 03, 2013 02:41 AM
Id be interested in something looking at mechanics of prospects and how they develop - do Taillon's elite mechanics make him more likely to be effective at the big league level than Walker or other elite prospects. I wonder to what extent mechanics are or are not taken into account in prospect evaluation.
Feb 02, 2013 13:09 PM
In a sense, mechanics can be a double-edged sword with prospects. By this I mean that strong mechanics will raise the players performance floor and will increase the likelihood of success, but pitchers who have advanced to the high minors despite poor mechanics have more theoretical upside (but also carry more injury risk).

Whenever is someone is compared to Stephen Strasburg, I compare them to Mark Prior, then I expect the Tommy John surgery and get scared.
Feb 03, 2013 00:05 AM
I have made that comp myself within the lecture halls of BP.

Except Strasburg didn't have the heavy workloads or the traumatic collisions and still needed Tommy John...
Feb 03, 2013 09:35 AM
Arm Side Run
The Giles collision led to an injury of the shoulder, and I'm fairly certain that was the part of his arm that led him to miss the most time post-2005
Feb 03, 2013 11:57 AM
I'm not saying there aren't risk factors (see the explanation with Taillon), but Stras did have some other red flags that had nothing to do with mechanics. A 20-year old who gains 9-mph in 2 years is at elevated risk, even assuming that he properly prepares his body to handle the increased kinetic toll, and we don't know if Stras had the structural foundation to manage such a rapid ascent. Stras has yet to show the ability to handle a heavy workload - OTOH, Prior labored through extremely heavy workloads for a few years while maintaining his top-end skills.

Pagan Community Notes is a companion to my usual Pagan News of Note series, more focused on news originating from within the Pagan community. I want to reinforce the idea that what happens to and within our organizations, groups, and events is news, and news-worthy. My hope is that more individuals, especially those working within Pagan organizations, get into the habit of sharing their news with the world. So lets get started!
Patrick McCollum's India Speech: On February 26th, Pagan chaplain and activist Patrick McCollum spoke at the International Conference on Spiritual Paradigm for Surmounting Global Management Crisis at the School of Management Sciences in Varanasi, India. McCollum shared a Pagan perspective toward resolving the questions raised at the conference, and his remarks were captured on video and recently posted to Youtube. You can read McCollum's account of his India trip, here.
Rachael Watcher, Public Information Officer at Covenant of the Goddess (COG), and a trustee of the North American Interfaith Network (NAIN), was also in India at the same time as Patrick McCollum, and gives an account of her trip to attend a conference produced in part by the International Center for Cultural Studies. You may also be interested in my recent post about the Hindu-Pagan panel at PantheaCon. For more on Patrick McCollum's work, check out his recent guest-post on the Pew Forum's survey on religion in American prisons.
2011 Pagan Pride Day a Success: Every year between August and October dozens of local events are held worldwide to educate the public about modern Paganism, build local bonds in the community, and hold food drives to give something back. These events happen under the banner of Pagan Pride Day, an all-volunteer organization that has been coordinating the event since 1998. At the end of February the Pagan Pride Project sent out a press release breaking down the statistics of the previous year, declaring it a "huge success."
"There were a total of 83 events on four continents: in the United States, we held 66 events, Canada held 8 events in 4 provinces, Latin America saw 6 events in 5 countries, and the European Union held 3 events. In total, 42,799 attended our events worldwide, which was less than 2010, but still much higher than 2009 and 2008. Pagan Pride Day events will continue to grow in 2012 and beyond. These celebrations are free to attend and are geared towards increasing public understanding and acceptance of members of our religion and bringing the Pagan community together.
Pagan Pride Days are also giving back to our communities. At our 2011 events, people gave 29,073 pounds of food for local shelters and food banks in the United States and around the world. People attending Pagan Pride Day events also donated blood for local blood banks, financial donations to the Humane Society, food pantries, the Red Cross, SPCA, Cystic Fibrosis and the Spiral Scouts. Never forgetting our animal friends, 340 pounds of pet food were collected along with pet supplies. Also, some events donated money to charities in their communities, totaling over $1,700.00, in lieu of donations of food and goods."
The Board of Directors also thanked the local event coordinators, volunteers, and public sponsors for their support in making the 2011 events a success. Events like these destroy the notion that Pagans aren't interested in giving back to their community, or in joining charitable efforts. While Pagan Pride Day is now almost taken for granted by the wider Pagan community, we should never forget the important on-the-ground work they do every year to change people's conceptions. If you want to get involved, there are instructions here. In addition, several local Pagan Pride Days have Facebook pages and other resources, consult your local search engine for more details.
Good News for Fans of Pagan Chants: Ivo Dominguez Jr, author of the recently-released book "Casting Sacred Space: The Core of All Magickal Work", and co-owner of Bell, Book, and Candle in Delaware, has restarted the classic website "Panpipe's Pagan Chants," an archive of Pagan chants to be used in ritual and celebrations.
"In the early days (1996) of the pagan internet explosion, I maintained a Pagan chants archive that has long gone to dust. It is now being revived a chant at a time. All the chants need to be re-recorded as they were originally done in a low fidelity Real Audio format. This was fine in the days of slow connections, but it will no longer do. The chants will now be available as MP3 files. I hope you enjoy them and if you are interested in adding your chants here, contact me. Whenever possible I will list authors and if it has been recorded by them. Please buy their works if they are available. You may use any of the chants I have written for noncommercial purposes."
So, if you've been recycling the same two or three chants during ritual, you now have an opportunity to broaden your group's repertoire. If you find the service useful, and would like to see it grow, Ivo asks that folks make a donation to the New Alexandrian Library Project.
In Other News:
- PNC-Washington DC covers the recent Persephone's Masquerade, an event that benefits the now-open Open Hearth Foundation community center. Quote: "Vice Chair of the OHF Sean Bennet mentioned that the foundation is currently living off a decade's worth of savings and that consistent membership contributions are what's really needed to make the center survive and thrive long-term."
- The Pagans Tonight radio team, hosted at BlogTalkRadio, and sponsored by Witch School International, has added two new shows to their weekly lineup: Pagan Priestess (featuring Stephanie Neal, Janet Berres and Traci Logan Wood) and Betwixt and Between (featuring the Amazing Raynbow and Al).
- P. Sufenas Virius Lupus asks the important question: what to do with "new" gods? Chas Clifton has some additional thoughts.
- The latest Thelema Now! podcast rebroadcasts a panel from the 2012 SXSW Music Conference on magick and music(k) featuring Joshua Sharp, Andrew W.K., Erik Davis (author of "Nomad Codes: Adventures in Modern Esoterica"), and Alison Fensterstock. The panel was moderated by Howard Wuelfing.
- Finally, a reminder. International Pagan Coming Out Day (IPCOD) is coming May 2nd! Check out their Facebook page for the latest updates.
That's all I have for now, have a great day! Happy Easter to my Christian friends.

Even though Maccabi FOX Tel Aviv missed the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague playoffs for the fourth consecutive season, there were many promising signs that Maccabi is ready to emerge from its slumber and ascend to the top of the continental ranks once again. Maccabi got out to a bad start in the EuroLeague regular season and lost seven of its first eight games. That led to a change on the bench and Ioannis Sfairopoulos was hired in place of Neven Spahija. The move worked; Maccabi began to play with more intensity and won nine of its next 11 games. Led by Tarik Black, Scottie Wilbekin and Alex Tyus - who earned EuroLeague MVP for January honors, Maccabi kept its playoffs chances alive until the regular-season finale, but a road loss at Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul saw Maccabi finish the stage in 10th place with a 14-16 record - just one win out of the playoff zone. In domestic competitions, Maccabi fell to Maccabi Rishon LeZion in the Israeli State Cup quarterfinals, but had its revenge in the Israeli League title game; Maccabi prevailed 89-75 at Menorah Mivtachim Arena and team captain John DiBartolomeo hoisted the club's 53rd league championship. DiBartolomeo led five Maccabi scorers in double figures with 15 points in the championship game. Expect Maccabi to try to reach even higher this season.
A signature team in European basketball, Maccabi enters every season aiming for greatness. Over the years, Maccabi has relied on the tried-and-true formula of complementing the best Israeli players with talented, committed stars from abroad. Players like Tal Brody, Miki Berkowitz, Motti Aroesti, Kevin Magee, Doron Jamchy, Earl Williams and Aulcie Perry and more recently Sarunas Jasikevicius, Anthony Parker and Nikola Vujcic belong to the elite of all-time European basketball greats. Maccabi won its first EuroLeague title in 1977 and did so again in 1981 with Berkowitz as the big star. Maccabi had to wait until 2001 to lift the SuproLeague trophy, which broke a string of five continental final appearances that ended the wrong way. The next title came soon after; Derrick Sharp's miracle three-pointer in the spring of 2004 to survive the Top 16 has become one of the classic shots in basketball history. Then Maccabi turned to record breaking at the Final Four on its home turf with a 118-point championship game performance to batter Skipper Bologna. The next year Maccabi became the first team to repeat as EuroLeague champion since Split in 1991. Jasikevicius, Parker, Tal Burstein, Maceo Baston and Vujcic, coached by Pini Gershon, became a classic lineup in European basketball history. Maccabi got back to the EuroLeague championship game for the third year in a row in 2006, but CSKA stood in the way of a three-peat. CSKA remained a thorn in Maccabi's side, downing Maccabi in the 2007 playoffs and 2008 championship game. A rebuilt Maccabi returned to the Final Four again in 2011, when it got past Real Madrid in the semifinal, but Panathinaikos prevailed in the championship game. After playoff losses in 2012 against Panathinaikos in a series for the ages and against Madrid a year later, a David Blatt-coached yellow-and-blue reversed the trend in 2013-14 with several dramatic late-season wins to climb to the top of Europe. Maccabi overcame CSKA Moscow in the semifinals and Real Madrid after overtime in the championship game to bring the trophy back to its passionate fans. A brilliant campaign also saw Maccabi win the Israeli League and Cup before Coach Blatt left. The team struggled to meet its normal standards in the seasons that followed, missing the EuroLeague playoffs in the last four. Maccabi was close to that goal the last two seasons, in which the team also recaptured the Israeli League championship after a three-year hiatus. Maccabi will have a whole country behind it in EuroLeague games and will be a strong opponent anywhere.

Francisco Liriano wasn't quite sure where his pitches were going. The one thing he did control was his emotions. Liriano pitched two-hit ball over seven innings and the Pirates beat the Chicago Cubs 2-0 Friday for their major league-leading 10th shutout, matching Pittsburgh's total for all of last season.
Francisco Liriano wasn't quite sure where his pitches were going. The one thing he did control was his emotions.
Liriano pitched two-hit ball over seven innings and the Pirates beat the Chicago Cubs 2-0 Friday for their major league-leading 10th shutout, matching Pittsburgh's total for all of last season.
It is, as manager Clint Hurdle said, a "remarkable number." And it stands out even more because the Pirates don't have a complete game.
Liriano (4-2) walked five, his most since Sept. 1 last year, but struck out eight to help Pittsburgh stop a three-game losing streak.
"I didn't feel, location-wise, I was that good," he said. "I was missing my spots a lot, and I walked too many guys. You know, just keep fighting 'til the end."
Liriano walked two in the second and two in the fourth. But rather than get rattled, he worked his way out of trouble both times and came away with the win after a two-start losing streak.
Mark Melancon pitched the eighth, and Jason Grilli finished the five-hitter for his major league-leading 23rd save in as many chances. After two-out singles by Ryan Sweeney and pinch-hitter Dioner Navarro, Grilli struck out Darwin Barney to preserve another shutout.
"We had 10 (shutouts) all last year and actually we pitched a lot better last year than we did the first year I was here," Hurdle said. "It just speaks to the job the pitchers are doing here, No. 1 throwing strikes, keeping the ball down. We've been able to get a little better at it every year, and this year, obviously, we've taken it to another level at this point in the season."
Russell Martin had two hits, including an RBI double off Travis Wood (5-4) in the sixth, as the Pirates won for the second time in seven games. Jordy Mercer doubled twice.
Pittsburgh continued to struggle at the plate after managing just one hit off Julio Teheran in a 5-0 loss at Atlanta on Wednesday. This time, the Pirates finished with seven hits.
Wood gave up one run and four hits in six innings with two walks and six strikeouts.
"He kept us off balance, kept the ball down all day," Wood said. "He really worked us. Even though he had several walks, he was able to battle around that and pitch a good ballgame."
He had the Cubs' first hit, a one-out single in the fifth, after hitting his first career grand slam in a win over the Chicago White Sox last week.
"Travis has been the same all year," Barney said. "He's been consistent pounding the zone. He was a little bit more sporadic than he has been. But he still had good stuff. He keeps them off balance."
Outscored 29-11 and shut out three times in their previous six games, the Pirates went ahead in the sixth.
After escaping a bases-loaded jam in the second, Wood retired 11 straight before Mercer's one-out double. Mercer advanced on Andrew McCutchen's fly to right and scored on Martin's double.
"I just told myself I was going to be aggressive and not wait around," Martin said. "He's throwing lots of strikes, and I picked a side of the plate."
Travis Snider added an RBI grounder in the ninth against Carlos Villanueva after Martin's walk and Pedro Alvarez's single.
NOTES: Pirates LHP Wandy Rodriguez is to throw a bullpen session on Monday before the team decides whether he will go on the DL, although manager Clint Hurdle did say there was no "acute structural damage to the ligament" in Rodriguez's throwing arm. Rodriguez got only one out in Wednesday's loss at Atlanta before leaving with tightness in his left forearm. ... Sweeney, the Cubs' CF, made a neat catch in the eighth when he raced to his right and dove to snag Starling Marte's drive. ... Sveum said Rafael Dolis, on the 15-day DL with a mild strain in his right forearm, is "a lot better," and Shawn Camp (sprained right big toe) threw a bullpen session on Friday. Sveum also said no date has been set for Kyuji Fujikawa to have ligament-replacement surgery on his right elbow. ... A.J. Burnett (3-6, 3.22 ERA) starts Saturday for the Pirates, with Jeff Samardzija (3-6, 2.96 ERA) going for the Cubs.

Hi everyone! I was wondering... Has any of you heard of a child resistant to potty training? We have tried a few times since she was 18 months old. And she gets really frustrated every time a " mishap " occurs although we keep cheering her on. Once she kept herself for a long time from going number two. Today we are trying again! She really dislikes the whole endeavor and we went to buy stickers and put Peppa the pig on TV. Also we watched YouTube videos of babies going potty. I understand that this is a silly thing to worry about. She will eventually grow out of it obviously, but besides giving her juice, putting her favorite show, bring toys around her and squeak with enthusiasm I am all out of ideas. I even made her toys and dollies go potty, and let the water run in case the trickling sound helps. Any ideas??

I had a similar issue with my son. He just wouldn't sit so I got some special lollies. They were very fancy and we made a big deal of them. And every time he did number twos he got a special lollie. It took just a few days and she sat and waited success. By the time the special lollies were finished he was good to go, so to speak I know it's hard but try not to worrie. It will happen xxx

Make it fun. I know how silly that sounds, but it's the only thing that has worked for me. My nephew hated it. He would hide when he felt the urge and then scream when he needed to get cleaned up. I started by making it into a game--he had to try to go before I finished singing a particular song. If he started to go before I finished singing he got a surprise. The Little Princess didn't care for it either. She was more difficult than my nephew, and it took longer. With her, I read books or listened to audiobooks together. We read many, many, many books about poop... I think one she figured out that pooping was okay, she finally was trained.
Don't despair. Most parents I know have suffered through the same issue. I think it's pretty common...

Your Replies:
Really you are not just saying that? I have only heard of easy success stories of potty training in a day or weekend of babies that most of them were younger than her, she is 27 months old. And not once have I heard of a baby saying " I don't like potty I want to pee in the diaper "! I thought she would love being clean and dry! But noooo! I will try your singing game, none of my games worked, neither did the stickers or the toys, or the books, or me acting as if I was peeing or pooping too, or the potty training of the stuffed toys, or the camping in the toilet with pretty much every item we own! I am sure one day I will laugh all about it, but now I'm sick and in pain and I am this close to putting her on a diaper and try again in a year!! Lol!
Tried the game with the Greek version of twinkle twinkle little star. She sang it with me… Didn't pee in the potty, went dancing with the potty on her head, peed herself! I shouldn't have laughed, I know, but couldn't hold it in. I will explain her the game once more and try again. Lots of love!!!!!
My Reply to Your Replies:
I am very surprised to hear that you haven't heard of people having serious issues potty training their children. It's one of the (too many) stressful situations one has to handle while raising a child. Some children are easier to train than others--my little brother was a good one. But must kids have some trouble. They get distracted, they don't want to stop playing, they get the urge while in bed and don't wake up, they hate the toilet... or kinds of things.
About you laughing, I would have roared too!
P.S. I'm adding my replies here because I am going to delete the responses you left on the Witches in Fiction post--people are started to ask me about the potty training, lol!

Building better dotpups
This may be a lengthy post, as I have a few different things to say. I know that there are people more versed in making dotpups than me but I want to post a few ideas.
First off, I think that the way dotpups are currently setup is a fantastic idea. One of Puppy's goals is to be easy to understand for new users. Since many new users are coming from a Windows background they are used to installing software by clicking on intallxxx.exe where xxx is the name of the program. What I'm getting at is that the dotpup format is very easy for them to understand. Also, these dotpups have made an incredible impact on the amount of software available to use.
Pupget, on the other hand, is pure Linux. You open the program (pupget) and choose from a list of available packages. The program then downloads and installs them from an online repository. In use this is remarkably like apt-get or rpm package management. Barry has thus far made it remarkably easier to use than either of those, however. Personally I prefer the dotpups as they are more flexible. I run off the live CD and have a few roxapps that I moved to /mnt/home, leaving more space in my pup001 file. The roxapps still work and don't seem to care where they are.
What I see as the shortcoming of a lot of these dotpups is that they don't register with pupget. Barry has mentioned many times that this is an important consideration, especially if anything is installed in /usr. The main danger is that when a person upgrades to a new version of Puppy, the files will be removed by the operating system-which is doing what it is supposed to do. Obviously this is much less of an issue with a roxapp which exists completely in /my-roxapps. However, there are still reasons for registering the package.
Even with a roxapp, functionality can be greatly enhanced by placing a symlink to the executable in /usr/bin. If this is done the program can be easily called from the command line. Another benefit is that it is now easy to create a menu entry so that the program can be called from the start menu. This also makes it easier for new users to find. This has already been partly implemented by Geust Too. Some of his dotpups have an entry in the start menu if you are using his icewm package, making things really handy. If this is done, the symlink should be registered with pupget for the above mentioned reasons.
There are two more important reasons for registering the package. If a dotpup is registered it can later be removed using pupget. I've installed programs before and later spent a long time tracking down all of the files when I wanted to get rid of it. At the very least it's a good idea to provide a list of all the files in the dotpup so that the end user won't have to hunt later. Again, not much of an issue with roxapps.
One more reason I see for doing this is to use pupget to troubleshoot dependency issues. I recently made a rather large dotpup to install Cinepaint. Since I made it from the start to register with pupget, I was able to easily identify problems with the neccessary library files. Some of the files had awful names like libIlmmImf.so. Now look closely and see if you can tell the difference between the capitol i's and the lower case L's. Anyway, the program required a symlink with this name that pointed to libIlmmImf.so.2.0.1 and I was having trouble getting it typed correctly. My firs try to make a working dotpup for this was missing the symlink because it was spelled incorrectly. I used pupget to check the dependencies and it quickly found where the problem lied. As more and more complicated programs are added to Puppy this will be more of a useful tool. If you don't think that this is happening remember that Puppy 1.04 will have OpenOffice available as a pupget. Also look at Bladehunters very interesting idea for a development tools package using an /opt/tools squash filesystem.
Don't get me wrong, I want the Puppy live CD to stay small and light. But people are going to keep adding more heavyweight apps and should not be discouraged. It will make Puppy more useful than ever. I was utterly dumbfounded the first time I saw Gimp open in 2 seconds in Puppy. In most other distros this can take forever.
To illustrate how these things can be accomplished I'm paqsting a script below.
# installs dillo_patched and registers with pupget
# dotpup made July 2005 by Nathan Fisher
# with thanks to mouldy for making it possible
# this script automatically runs after the dotpup file is unzipped
# it can rm, mv, cp files and dirs
# it can ln or rm symlinks
# it can run programs
# unzip the files using absolute paths
# paths relative to $HOME might be better
tar -xzP --no-same-owner -f dotpup.tar.gz
# registering with pupget
# dillo_patched.files & dillo_patched.keyword are included in tarball
echo '"dillo_patched" "dillo_patched: extended version of dillo" on "extended version of dillo" \' >> /root/.packages/alienpackages.txt
sleep 1
# this part of the script will register Dillo_patched in the fvwm95, jwm, and icewm menus
### register in the fvwm95 menu
# entry is placed just above smm
if [ -f $FVWM95RC ] ; then
# this option is used to prevent the entry from going in more than once
grep "/usr/local/bin/dillo_patched" $FVWM95RC
if [ $? -ne 0 ] ;then
cp -f $FVWM95RC /tmp/DOTfvwm95.dillo_patched.backup
EDITTEXT="s/^\(.\+Exec smm\)/+ \"Dillo patched browser%dillo_patched.xpm%\" Exec exec \/usr\/local\/bin\/dillo_patched\n\1/"
sed -e "$EDITTEXT" $FVWM95RC >/tmp/dillo_patchedinstall.tmp
mv -f /tmp/dillo_patchedinstall.tmp $FVWM95RC
sleep 1
### register in the jwm menu
# entry is just above smm
if [ -f $JWMRC ] ; then
# this option is used to prevent the entry from going in more than once
grep "/usr/loca/bin/dillo_patched" $JWMRC
if [ $? -ne 0 ] ;then
cp -f $JWMRC /tmp/DOTjwm.dillo_patched.backup
EDITTEXT="s/^\(.\+Program label=\"SMM email prefilter.\+$\)/<Program label=\"Dillo patched browser\" icon=\"dillo_patched.xpm\">exec \/usr\/local\/bin\/dillo_patched<\/Program>\n\1/"
sed -e "$EDITTEXT" $JWMRC >/tmp/dillo_patchedinstall.tmp
mv -f /tmp/dillo_patchedinstall.tmp $JWMRC
sleep 1
### register in the icewm menu
# entered just above smm
if [ -f $ICEWMMENU ] ; then
# this option is used to prevent the entry from going in more than once
grep "/usr/local/bin/dillo_patched" $ICEWMMENU
if [ $? -ne 0 ] ;then
cp -f $ICEWMMENU /tmp/icewmmenu.dillo_patched.backup
EDITTEXT="s/^\(.\+prog \"SMM email prefilter.\+$\)/\tprog \"Dillo patched browser\" dillo_patched \/usr\/local\/bin\/dillo_patched\n\1/"
sed -e "$EDITTEXT" $ICEWMMENU >/tmp/dillo_patchedinstall.tmp
mv -f /tmp/dillo_patchedinstall.tmp $ICEWMMENU
# opening dillo_patched
This is the dotpup.sh script that I just finished for the old patched version of Dillo that can do tabs, frames, and other neet tricks. If you follow the script you can see several key points. After the files have been untarred to the correct directories, it adds a line to alienpackages.txt which includes the neccessary info for pupget to know it's there. The files dillo_patched.files and dillo_patched.keyword were already in the tarball and don't have to be created now like pupget does.
The script then proceeds to add menu entries in the fvwm95, jwm, and icewm menus. If they're already there it's not supposed to duplicate them but I seem to have done something wrong. Update-found and fixed. Finally Dillo_patched is started. Since the tarball included an xpm that goes in /mini-icons, there will even be a Dillo icon beside Dillo_patched in the menu. I want to thank papschtroumpf as his pinstall script for betaftpd gave me the needed model to get this part working.
Please don't take any of this the wrong way because I'm not tooting my own horn here. Barry has been saying for a while that there will be more interaction between dotpup and pupget in the future. I wanted to make things cooporate now. Feel free to copy this script to use as a template if you like as it would work well with just a few modifications for other programs.
Finally, for the future here's what I'd like to see. I think pupget will always be the "official" package manager for Puppy, with dotpup being used to make just about anything under the sun work for you. I've been looking at the scripts for both pupget and dotpup to get ideas for how they can be made more cozy. I've been trying to make my own version of dotpup that would automatically put the appropriate entry into alienpackages.txt and populate the list of files. This would work for all dotpups and not require the type of code you see above, so new users could still make good dotpups like they can now. With enough work it might even be able to create an entry in the start menu. I think that this is what Barry would like to see, also. So far my script doesn't do what I want it to do, but at least I haven't broken anything yet.
I'm also following what Bladehunter has been up to with his /opt/tools development package. I particularly like the idea of a large application residing somewhere other than the ramdisk or pup001 file. This would allow access to some really heavy duty apps while leaving the core parts of Puppy small and light, just like it should be. I'm thinking of incorporating this idea to get a couple of ideas of my own off the ground.
If anyone has any further ideas or is interested in my dotpup project let me know. Of course for all I know Geust Too may already have an improvement in the works.

the main idea was to make dotpups easy and similar to "clicking on installxxx.exe where xxx is the name of the program" ... i would also be using the browser as the gui
why reinvent the wheel
i also wanted dotpups to be easy to create
i wanted them to automatically unzip themselves and run themselves (so it isn't necessary to explain tar and gz and md5sums etc etc)
i included a thorough md5sum check, because sometimes files don't download properly
dotpups are zip files rather than tgz's because servers often have the mime settings wrong for gz files ... which can corrupt a download, and cause a browser to display the link as text rather than downloading it ... nothing to stop you from putting a tgz inside a dotpup though
executing dotpup.sh automatically instead of running a default installer program means a dotpup is very flexible ... it does what the creator programmed dotpup.sh to do
roxapps can be made so they can be moved to another dir or drive (some won't work right on a vfat drive) ... there are advantages if they are in a fixed location like my-roxapps (eg. the menu can find them ... they can be symlinked of course)
Barry setup a method of registering alien packages (eg, dotpups) ... i haven't used it much myself, because i usually worked around /usr by installing files somewhere else (usually in a roxapp or in my-applications) and making a symlink or 2 in /usr ... when the program starts, it reinstalls the symlinks if necessary, so it doesn't matter if Puppy deletes them ... putting all the files in one place makes it easier to uninstall too
rox appdirs can be run from a menu ... for example, if you have /root/my-roxapps/BashBurn, you can run it from the command line (or menu) with
rox /root/my-roxapps/BashBurn
you can use a rox dir like a menu ... click an application with the middle mouse button and it will run it and automatically close the rox window
fvwm95 and jwm have menu items in the same file as other configuration items ... if your dotpup changes the menu, if it accidently damages the configuration the wm may not start
when i make dotpups, is usually type something in rxvt to see that the line is correct and copy/paste it, or if it's a path to a file or dir, i usually hold the ctrl key and click the file or dir to copy the path to the clipboard so i can paste it into my dotpup.sh script ... this helps prevent some typos
i didn't include anything complicated in the dotpup handler, because i thought copying the method from another working dotpup (template) would be easy ... and helper programs could be written too
for example, instead of including instructions to register with PupGet in dotpup.sh (not that it's difficult), there could be a routine that could be called by a dotpup creator (already debugged) ... so a dotpup.sh could be something like:
tar -xzP --no-same-owner -f dotpup.tar.gz
register-dotpup "netcat.0.7.1" "filelist"
rox /root/my-applications/netcat/cryptcat.txt
it might be possible to write a routine to add menu items too
when you install a newer version of Puppy, do menu items that were added to the fvwm95 and jwm menus disappear? or does PuptGet reinstall menu items added by alien packages?
i have not changed anything in my original dotpup handler ... not that it couldn't be improved (in fact, i uploaded it thinking that while it was a bit rough, an updated improved version could be installed anytime using a dotpup installer)
the only improved dotpup handlers i uploaded were Lobster's dotpup handlers ... i was wondering if it would be better if the default Puppy dotpup handler was Lobster's dotpup ... it does not ask if you want to unzip it or install it ... that's the dotpup handler i usually use ... or the handler could ask each time, but it could have a "do not ask again" option
anyway, some helper routines to help dotpup creators do common things like registering with PupGet or adding/deleting menu items might be useful ... (i didn't think of dotpups as being a package management system so much as an equivalent to an installxxx.exe file ... so the routines would be a simple way to interface with the actual package management system)

There's a lot of information there. One of the main points I was trying to get accross is that dotpups can really benefit from registering with pupget. My reasons are plain above. I agree too that they should be easy to make. I don't really want to reinvent the wheel, just find ways to make it easier and more productive for the end user. Roxapps are an exception to just about everything that I said above, but they can be made even more user friendly if they can be called from the command line with a single word rather than a directory path. A menu entry is just a nice touch. What you mentioned about having the program reinstall neccessary symlinks is a neat idea that I'm going to have to look at doing with an AppRun script. My first one was little more than "start the program".
I don't expect everyone to adopt my way of thinking, and for a very small and uncomplicated application you don't usually have to think too hard to get it to work. I went to all of this work because there were some very heavy apps that I felt I couldn't live without for much longer. I felt that if I was going to this much effort in the first place I should make it the best that I can.
the main idea was to make dotpups easy and similar to "clicking on installxxx.exe where xxx is the name of the program"
Dotpups accomplish this remarkably well.
Also mentioned was having another routine setup to register or add menu entries. I like that idea. That takes the load off of the person writing the dotpup. It could work with the dotpup script as is right now and just be a seperate script that can be called from the dotpup.sh script to register the files.
Menu entries are another story altogether. The more WM's people get to work, the more menu's would have to be tweaked. I was actually looking into some control center gui tools for icewm earlier. They look neat but the problem is that most of them require python for some reason. I think people will be editing config files by hand for a while yet.
Thanks again for your words of wisdom.

Dotpups and pupgets have been a great success.
They make Puppy a lot of fun
(certainly the ideal is small pups) but larger files should also be available - clearly people are very pleased to have them - I know I am.
When I tried my first dotpup I could see they were easy to create but then managed to confuse myself. I will have another go in the future.
The reason for the Lobster simplified dotpups which you were kind enough to implement, is because "Aunt Maude" (generic user) does not know or care about md5sum checking and does not need stray icons (so they are best deleted).
I use the dotpup default (not the Lobster ones) because it is the default and I reinstall so often that I forget to install the specialised Lobster dotpup each time.
The info that is useful to Aunt Maude is in pupget - it tells you the progress of the downloading file.
At the moment we have two installers (Aunt Maude does not understand "package managers" who are people that work at the post office)
So the ideal is to combine dotpup and pupget (which is Barrys plan as I understand it) and to have one menu item which says "install more software"
There is no need in the future to mention dotpup or pupget (though at the moment there may be)
I was very impressed with the range of software that DSL is offering with its installer
It is also important that people are aware that Firefox, Opera, Thunderbird and Open Office (increase your utilities /resize root filesystem) all have built in installers that work with Puppy (and most distros)
It is likely this trend for top packages to be self installing will continue
yes indeed

I thought it might be worthwhile to add this: I think it is good that users are aware that one does not necessarily need to install major apps such as mentioned above inside the pupfile, the reason why is that they can be installed on any Linux filesystem and still be used by Puppy. (I suspect they could be installed on FAT32, but I've not done it)
For a specific example: my Puppy file resides on a Linux ext3 file system located at hda6. On the very same file system is Suse. On this same file system is a directory called /shared.
I install these major apps in /shared and run them from there. My pupfile is the default 256 MB and I have over half of it free. And I have lots of extra software installed inside it.
I'd like to mention that Suse uses the same Firefox, Thunderbird, Audacity, and OpenOffice as Puppy uses. Even better, they use the same configuration files for Thunderbird and Firefox.
(I developed a bad habit from Puppy, I always run as root).
I recently installed Vector Linux on another filesystem and it will use the same OpenOffice, Firefox and Thunderbird.
I particularly like sharing the configuration files for Firefox and Thunderbird because no matter what OS I'm running, the bookmarks for Firefox are the same, also the email for Thunderbird is the same.
The OO works with seperate configuration files for each OS, but you can have a common user documents directory. For example: /shared/documents.

And, Thank You.
Last night I made a RoxApp text editor called 'supernotepad'. It can be run as a RoxApp or from the command line. However, there would be no reason I imagine to register it. It won't get altered on a Puppy version update.
I guess the considerations would be involved around how the package would be affected by a version update.
If one considers menu items a very important factor, then it might be best to simply reinstall the dotpup after the upgrade. Or have a repair routine to fix the menu items. Except that it is so simple and fast to install most dotpups, I don't know if a menu upgrade routine would be any easier for the user to locate and run than it would be to run the orginal dotpup?
Of course the menu items could be checked by some automated system put in place.
Personally, and this is personal, I usually do a fresh install. This is for a few reasons, two of which are listed below:
* I like clean installs over upgrades
* Since I install just about every package available, I've learned which ones I want to reinstall and which ones I don't. For this reason, a Puppy new version release is an opportunity to clean house.
But those are just my preferences and we don't make dotpups for ourselves, we do it for the community.
That was some very good work you did and when I need it I'll use the template. I appreciate your contributions. Thanks again.

A statement from G2...
... i also wanted dotpups to be easy to create
Lobster, I've been anxiously awaiting your first dotpup. If you are up to the challenge, I'd like to give you an easier dotpup to make for your first.
There is a little command line utility called

A good read, guys.
Nathan, GuestToo, it was helpful to read your summarys/assessments.
Lobster thinks I have a plan....
Yeah, DotPups that don't go into /usr don't have to register with Pupget, except for the advantages mentioned by Nathan.
Some kind of new way of handling the menus is needed ...there were some ideas floated awhile back.

Post subject: Re: KISS
I install these major apps in /shared and run them from there. My pupfile is the default 256 MB and I have over half of it free. And I have lots of extra software installed inside it.
m m m . . .
I rather like the sound of that . . .
Puppy has always been promoted as the Pup to the big dogs of Linux . . .
but increasingly many of us (and I am one of those users) prefer using Puppy to any other distro - even when we have the choice of big dogs.
I have Ubuntu on my HD (it allows me to download pics from my camera - just worked - wonderful) I can not do that with Puppy or have not worked out how to . . .
Maybe Mut will develop to allow this.
I will try and remember this shared directory installation
I feel it is quite an important concept. Perhaps someone will understand and explain why . . . (I do not fully understand where we go with this idea . . .)
I'd like to mention that Suse uses the same Firefox, Thunderbird, Audacity, and OpenOffice as Puppy uses. Even better, they use the same configuration files for Thunderbird and Firefox.
I know a lot of people use different OS on different partitions.
I use one per hard disk (for reliability)
but if we can somehow stardadise or computerise this into dotpup or pupget
- or would it complicate things - maybe we need the Bruce Dotpup?
. . . quite intriguing . . .
(I developed a bad habit from Puppy, I always run as root).
youse is a bad pup!
eh . . . does it matter on a single user machine?
does not seem to . . .

I want to second Lobster's remark the the shared directory idea is a good one. I especially love the idea that email could be shared between different OS's. When I first started using Puppy that would have been an incredible bit of info as I was running Mepis, too. Bruce, if it hasn't already been done could you write up a how-to on that? Or maybe Flash can link to this thread for the info.
Interestingly enough I've since become one of those people who doesn't use anything else othe than Puppy. It works and seems to work better with each release. My thoughts are that there are concepts in how it is put together that can be universally applied to making any Operating system better, many things which have been applied in a completely new and uniqe way. Like I said up above when I saw Gimp open almost instantly I was completely shocked. I kept opening and closing it over and over again just to make sure I wasn't seeing things. People will soon be able to witness this behavior with OpenOffice also. I think Puppy is going to be taken much more seriously in the future.
By the way I updated the code slightly up above after I found my little mistake. The concept seems solid to me and works well. My next project will also check to see if there is an entry in alienpackages.txt before it tries to write one there. That would make it easier to use the dotpup to just repair an install if some files got damaged or erased.
Also anxiosly awaiting the first lobster.pup

Just a small help for package builders
If you want to build packages, but do not want to install in your real filesystem:
tmake a temporary folder, in which the files should go:
mkdir /tmp/fancypkg
run ./configure and make the usal way with your default options
but run
DESTDIR=/tmp/fancypkg make install
This should work with most packages which use autoconf (most Linux applications do).
This will copy the program files to /tmp/fancypkg/usr/ and /tmp/fancypkg/etc and so on, so that you can modify and package there without to touch your working environment.
Remember, that the compiled program still expects to find the necessary files in /usr and /etc. This is just for creating packages.

Modern Family actress Ariel Winter has reportedly been removed from her home due to allegations of physical and emotional abuse by her mother, according to TMZ.
Court sources have told TMZ that after an initial guardian hearing, judges determined Winter, 14, was being abused by her mother Crystal Workman. The court then granted Winter's older sister Shanelle Workman, 34, temporary custody. The judge has set the next hearing for Nov. 20.
Winter's representative has not responded to TVGuide.com's request for comment. However, Workman adamantly denies the allegations. "It's all untrue, it's all untrue," she tells People. "I have my doctor's letter that my daughter's never been abused... I have stylists' letters that she's never been abused."
TMZ adds that nearly 20 years ago, the Department of Children and Family Services removed Shanelle from her mother's home after similar allegations and placed her in foster care for two years.

Chris Mortensen reports that "a consensus" has been reached regarding 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith, who crashed his car Friday morning, allegedly failed a breathalyzer, and allegedly had pills and weed in his possession at the time of the crash: Smith has a substance-abuse problem and needs treatment. But that treatment won't begin until after Smith gets to play in today's game against the Colts.
Mort's story does not say whether Smith agreed with that consensus, perhaps on the condition that he be permitted to play today. Either way, neither the Niners nor the league could force Smith to sit out today's game. League officials told Mort the Niners cannot suspend Smith under the terms of the collective bargaining agreement. Roger Goodell likewise won't immediately suspend Smith because his DUI case has not been adjudicated.

The Beatles Anthology
The Beatles Anthology is everything you need to know about The Beatles. For die-hard fan it seems to have a clip from almost every recorded performance of theirs. And for the casual fan it tells the Fab Four's back-story and then that incredible run of music from '63 to '70, it's such a huge story for only seven years of life. The three surviving Beatles - Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison - are exhaustedly interviewed with very candid memories (Harrison passed away after this was made), and preexisting interviews with John Lennon are incorporated. Also of interest, adding to the conversation is their long time producer George Martin who seems to set the record straight when the boys are confused about a recording fact. It really is amazing that these four lads from modest backgrounds in Liverpool, England were able to have such a giant impact on popular culture all over the world and create some of the still greatest music in rock 'n roll history.
Originally airing on television, The Beatles Anthology was released in conjunction with a massive book and CD set covering the same ground. The documentary is told in eight episodes, each covering a year or two and each running over an hour, putting the whole thing at over ten hours long. Like a Ken Burns film (The Civil War, Baseball), it uses still photos and archival footage to set up The Beatles in their youth, but quickly jumps right into the formation of the band and their early career playing Hamburg nightspots. The first two episodes may be for the fanatics as there is a lot of rare material (recording demos and British television appearances) but by the end of Episode Two the Beatles have become a phenomenon in the UK. Then Episode Three begins with their famous landing at JFK and first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show; their conquering of America is when things get really fun.Continue Reading
