Rams Overcome Rough Week for WinPosted by on October 31, 2010 – 10:10 PM
- After a difficult loss last weekend in Tampa, the Rams had an even more difficult week this week. To wit, they lost three players (including a practice squad receiver) to injury. And coach Steve Spagnuolo's high school coach from Massachusetts passed away. With the emotion of Isaac Bruce's jersey retirement added to the mix, it was certainly an emotional week for the Rams.
- And still, the Rams were able to find a way to overcome all of that and come away with an impressive and thorough 20-10 victory against Carolina on Sunday at the Edward Jones Dome. The Rams are now 4-4 going into the bye week and squarely in the middle of the race for the NFC West Division. More on the game in a moment.
- On the injury front, the Rams came through the game relatively healthy though they entered the game with plenty of ailments to deal with.
- DE James Hall had perhaps the most serious injury with a broken hand but he played through it and should be able to heal well enough over the bye to be fine when he returns. He's not likely to miss any meaningful game time.
- TE Michael Hoomanawanui injured his ribs but none were broken and he returned to the game.
- FB Mike Karney got poked in the eye but finished the game.
- S James Butler played through his knee injury in a bit of a surprise but banged up his ankle during the game. He's also expected to be fine.
- CB Bradley Fletcher injured his finger but is expected to be fine as well.
- As for the game, it was another total team effort to yield the Rams" fourth consecutive home win and leave them at the bye with everything still on the table.
- The defense was at its absolute best, allowing just 201 yards of total offense with about 96 of those yards coming late in the game with the win well in the Rams' hands. The Panthers gained just 25 yards on 17 carries, the best performance by a Rams run defense in St. Louis since it allowed 21 yards against Detroit on Nov. 7, 1999.
- Most important, that group squeezed the ball today and came up with four takeaways.
- Outstanding performance from MLB James Laurinaitis who finished with 8 tackles, three for loss, a sack and an interception. It's not news but that kid's a stud.
- Heck of an effort from a banged up secondary as well. CB Kevin Dockery played his best game as a Ram and Ron Bartell continues to be a warrior that plays through pain much like RB Steven Jackson.
- Chris Long now has a sack in three consecutive games. He's starting to get the stats that match the way he plays every week. And his sack came on a play when the guy blocking him was flagged for holding. No. 72 is playing very, very well in 2010.
- Offensively, it might have been Sam Bradford's best performance. He finished 25-of-32 for 191 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions for his best rating of his young career, 112.4.
- Try these numbers on for size: Bradford was 9-of-11 for 73 yards with two scores on third down today. For the season, he now has a rating of 101.1 on third down. You want poise from a young quarterback? Wow.
- Jackson was a warrior again on a day that holes were hard to come by as the Panthers made it abundantly clear they didn't want Jackson beating them. He finished with 59 yards on 23 carries but said he made it out of the game fine in terms of his broken finger. He paid his respects to Eric Dickerson before the game by wearing the jheri curl look with goggles.
- Nice job by Renardo Foster, filling in for Jason Smith at right tackle. Spagnuolo had this to say about Foster's performance.
"It's hard for me to tell. But my guess is he probably did an admirable job. I did ask Adam in there how he was right in front of Renardo and he gave me the thumbs up so that's a good thing."
- A nice game by all of the Rams' receivers, coming up with timely catches and conversions for first downs. Brandon Gibson, in particular, had a strong performance with 67 yards on six catches.
- Donnie Jones and the special teams came through a few times in swinging field position, including pinning the Panthers at the 2 late when they were trying to mount a comeback.
- Spagnuolo's coach at Grafton (Mass.) High was Dick Egsegian, or as they called him "Coach E." Spagnuolo didn't tell the team that one of his mentors passed away but he shared it with them after the game. They gave him the blessing to give Sunday's game ball to the family when he goes to visit during the bye week.
- I'd be remiss not to mention the terrific pregame ceremony for Bruce before the game. Great job putting it all together by the Rams and kudos to the fans for showing up early and paying their respects. Just a great day all the way around for the Rams.
- That'll do it for tonight. Back to wrap this one up tomorrow and then off to a much-needed bye week. Enjoy this one, Rams fans.

- James Butler intercepted Moore on second down and returned it to Carolina's 28 for a first down and a chance to extend the lead further.

- Oshiomogho Atogwe came up with a sack on second down and a third down incompletion got the Rams' their first possession of the third quarter beginning at their 20.

- The drive ended at Carolina's 44 as Bradford misfired on third down.
- But Donnie Jones pinned the Panthers at their 7 to open their second possession of the half.

- The offense went three and out as a mishandled snap lost 2 yards and ended the drive.
- The Panthers started again from their 41 after a 31-yard return from Captain Munnerlynn.
- That ended the third quarter with the Rams leading 10-3.
Second Quarter
- Bradford hit Hoomanawanui for 15 yards and a first down to Carolina's 40.
- Jackson ripped off an 7-yard run and Bradford hit Daniel Fells for 7 yards two plays later for another first down.
- Jackson burst 14 yards off the left side for another first down to Carolina's 11 for a first down.

- The defense got it done again, with yet another three and out.
- The Rams start again, this time from their 45.

- The Panthers quickly put together their best drive of the day, gaining yards in chunks through the air with gains of 12, 7 and 20 through the air to get to the Rams' 30.
- A quick pass to Mike Goodson gave them a second-and-7 at the Rams' 27.
- The Panthers got 1 more yard before settling for a 44-yard field goal attempt for Jon Kasay. He converted to make it 10-3 with 37 seconds to go in the half.
- That's where we stand at the half as the Panthers will get the ball first coming out of the locker room.
First Quarter
- The Rams won the toss and elected to receive.
- The offense got nothing going though as three passes warranted a three and out.
- But the Rams got it right back as James Laurinaitis intercepted a Matt Moore flea flicker attempt and returned it to Carolina's 37.
- Again, the offense couldn't generate any yards and went three and out to set up a 51-yard field goal attempt for kicker Josh Brown. Brown left the kick wide left to keep the score tied at 0 with 10:42 to go in the first.
- The defense responded with a three-and-out of its own to get the ball back for the Rams at their 20.
- A 5-yard defensive holding gave the Rams their first first down of the game and gave the Rams a first down at Carolina's 32.

- At the end of the first quarter, the Rams and Panthers are tied at 0 and the Rams have the ball at their 45 with a second-and-6.
Pregame Notes
- Greetings from the Edward Jones Dome where the Rams and Panthers are preparing for a noon kickoff.
- Of course, before we get into any game business, there's the matter of retiring legendary Ram Isaac Bruce's No. 80. I've written it many times but a more deserving and classy player you will not find. He's accomplished everything there is to accomplish and his number will now hang forever in the rafters where it belongs next to Marshall Faulk's 28 and Deacon Jones' 75.
- The Bruce ceremony will begin at 11:30 and he'll be introduced by former coach and mentor Mike Martz and then say a few words to the fans in St. Louis. Should be a great start to a hopefully great day.
- In honor of Bruce, the Rams are wearing the 1999 throwback blue and yellow uniforms.
- As expected, RB Steven Jackson is active and starting. And in honor of Eric Dickerson, the man he passed last week to become the team's all time leading rusher, Jackson wore the Dickerson spectacles in pregame.
- The Rams have been hit by injuries this week though and the players on the inactive list are there mostly from those ailments.
- Tackle Jason Smith is inactive with a concussion suffered in Thursday's practice. Renardo Foster will start for him on the right side.
- Receiver Danario Alexander (knee), cornerback Justin King (hamstring) and safety Darian Stewart (hamstring) are inactive from injuries.
- The rest of the list includes TE Fendi Onobun, S Michael Lewis, DT Darell Scott and DE Eugene Sims. Onobun had back issues this week and Scott is still fighting ankle problems.
- Because CB Ron Bartell is still nursing shoulder and thigh injuries, Kevin Dockery will start in his place.
- Bryan Kehl will start at LB in place of Larry Grant.
- Inactives of note for the Panthers include RB DeAngelo Williams and OT Jeff Otah.

Alexander to Have Surgery on KneePosted by on October 29, 2010 – 9:09 PM
- Rams WR Danario Alexander is having surgery on his left knee today after suffering torn meniscus during the workout.
- The surgery and injury is expected to keep Alexander out two to four weeks. With a bye coming next week, it could cost him as little as one game depending on how quickly he recovers.
- Alexander injured the knee on a pass play during team drills as he turned to catch a pass thrown behind him. He landed awkwardly and hobbled off the field.
- With Alexander out, the Rams have Laurent Robinson, Brandon Gibson, Danny Amendola and Mardy Gilyard as available wideouts this weekend.

Smith Questionable, Alexander Shook UpPosted by on October 29, 2010 – 6:25 PM
- The Rams just wrapped up their Friday practice and another day with an injury during the workout.
- On Thursday, it wa s tackle Jason Smith taking a blow to the head. He has concussion symptoms and sat out Friday's practice. He's questionable but it's unlikely he'll be able to play against Carolina. That leaves Renardo Foster as the likely starter in his place though the Rams could also opt to kick Adam Goldberg out to right tackle with John Greco at right guard.
- Smith has enough time to get cleared but coach Steve Spagnuolo emphasized that the Rams would be cautious with him.
- Meanwhile, at Friday's workout, WR Danario Alexander suffered a knee injury attempting to catch a ball thrown behind him during a team drill. He landed awkwardly on his left (surgically repaired) knee and hobbled off the field. There was nothing available right away on the seriousness of the injury but Spagnuolo said he'd be evaluated after practice.
- The final injury report for the Rams looks like this:
Out: CB Justin King, S Darian Stewart, TE Fendi Onobun
Questionable: RB Steven Jackson, DT Fred Robbins, DT Darell Scott, CB Ron Bartell, Alexander
Probable: MLB James Laurinaitis, S James Butler, LB David Vobora, WR Mardy Gilyard
- Of note for the Panthers, RB DeAngelo Williams (foot) is doubtful. T Jeff Otah (knee) is out.

Jackson Says He'll Play, Smith a Bit FuzzyPosted by on October 28, 2010 – 7:48 PM
- The Rams finished up Thursday's workout without much of consequence save for one potential injury.
- Right tackle Jason Smith took a blow to the head courtesy of end Chris Long. He was unable to finish the practice and coach Steve Spagnuolo said Smith was "a bit fuzzy." It remains to be seen whether Smith will be OK to play this weekend or if he'll return to practice tomorrow. Smith has a history with concussions from last season and the Rams can ill afford to lose him after its line has started to get some continuity starting the season's first seven games.
- Smith will be monitored the rest of today and tomorrow before any determination is made on his status.
- Meanwhile, and this will come as no surprise, running back Steven Jackson says he will play Sunday against the Panthers. At this point, you might have to amuputate a leg to keep him off the field so having surgery on his left ring finger seems like a small hurdle to get past. Jackson declared that he'll play this week and should be able to take on his full work load. According to experts, the surgery and injury Jackson has would be more likely to hamper his pass protection than carrying the ball.
- Jackson is still figuring out a type of soft cast or wrap to use in Sunday's game.
- On the injury report, the rest of the list only had a couple of minor tweaks. DT Darell Scott (ankle), DT Fred Robbins (toe), CB Justin King (hamstring), S Darian Stewart (hamstring), TE Fendi Onobun (back) and Jackson did not participate.
- Limited participants included CB Ron Bartell (shoulder, thigh), MLB James Laurinaitis (knee) and LB David Vobora (hamstring).
- Spagnuolo expressed his admiration for Isaac Bruce as he returns to St. Louis this week for his jersey retirement ceremony. Spagnuolo shared that he requested and kept a DVD of Bruce's retirement presentation in St. Louis from June and even showed it to the team during camp because he thought the message was so powerful.
- Bruce is scheduled to be at the Russell Training Center tomorrow for media availability as well as to have lunch with members of the Rams organization. His event takes place Friday night and there's a reception and dinner scheduled for Saturday night.
- The ceremony is set for 11:30 a.m. Sunday before the game. The Rams have asked for an extension to sell the less than 800 tickets remanining to have the blackout lifted. Tickets are still available here at stlouisrams.com or by calling 314-RAMS-TIX.

Rams Make Moves, Bradford Pays UpPosted by on October 27, 2010 – 8:15 PM
- The Rams got back to work Wednesday afternoon as they begin preparations for this weekend's game against Carolina. And it was a busy day around the Russell Training Center as bets were paid off and roster tweaks were made.
- On the injury front, the Rams had a number of players not participating in workouts because of injury. RB Steven Jackson (finger), DT Fred Robbins (toe), S James Butler (knee), CB Justin King (hamstring), S Darian Stewart (hamstring) and DT Darell Scott (ankle) all sat out the workout.
- The Rams remain optimistic that Jackson and Robbins will be able to play this week. Jackson's injury shouldn't limit his ability to carry the ball so much as hamper his pass protection. Robbins' toe injury isn't too severe but he'll be monitored closely this week.
- Coach Steve Spagnuolo said James Butler actually felt pretty good when he arrived on Wednesday. He's still likely to be out this week but it could bode well for him to return after the bye week.
- CB Ron Bartell's shoulder ailment wasn't serious enough to require an MRI and he participated on a limited basis Wednesday. Bradley Fletcher made it through OK despite his hamstring issue.
- With so many injuries in the secondary, the Rams made some moves to bolster the depth back there. On Monday night, the team claimed CB Quincy Butler off waivers and released LB Curtis Johnson. Butler was with the Rams last year and in the preseason. On Wednesday morning, the team signed veteran S Michael Lewis and placed DT Clifton Ryan on injured reserve because of his recurring migraine issues. Lewis is close with Spagnuolo from their time together in Philadelphia. In fact, Lewis went to the Pro Bowl after the 2004 season.
- With Lewis in the fold, the Rams have five safeties on the roster but Lewis is the only healthy reserve as it stands.
- As the Rams retired to the locker room on Wednesday afternoon, QB Sam Bradford had to face the music on his bet with WR Danario Alexander from last weekend's Mizzou-Oklahoma game. Mizzou, of course, pulled off the victory meaning Bradford had to wear Mizzou gear for his weekly Wednesday meeting with the media. Waiting for Bradford was a personalized Mizzou jersey with his name and the No. 14 stitched on the back.
- Bradford begrudgingly wore the jersey and was a good sport about it as the local media peppered him with questions. Bradford did get off one good zinger when a reporter asked him if he ever considered going to a "better academic institution" like Mizzou. Bradford's response: "I wanted to win Big 12 championships."
- The Rams will get back to practice Thursday afternoon.

Wrapping Up Tampa BayPosted by on October 25, 2010 – 8:19 PM
- Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo just wrapped up his Monday news conference discussing Sunday's heart wrenching 18-17 loss to Tampa Bay at Raymond James Stadium. The biggest news came on the injury front where RB Steven Jackson had surgery on his left ring finger after it was fractured in Sunday's game. Jackson had two pins inserted into the finger.
- Jackson's surgery wasn't major and he tweeted this afternoon (@sj39) that he "shouldn't miss a beat." He might be limited in practice but I think it's fair to not question whether he'll play this week against Carolina. The guy pretty much plays through everything.
- S James Butler, however, does have a knee sprain. It's unclear how long he will be out but he's definitely going to miss this week's contest.
- CB Ron Bartell had the other injury of the most note. His shoulder is sore and the extent of that injury is unknown right now. Spagnuolo said Bartell would give it another day to see how he feels Tuesday. If he's still not feeling right, then the Rams and Bartell will likely take a closer look at it with an MRI.
- DT Darell Scott suffered another ankle injury though it's not as severe as the one he just returned from. He'll be monitored day to day.
- DT Fred Robbins will have his toe looked at. He played through that injury Sunday and is expected to be OK.
- CB Bradley Fletcher (hamstring) and LB James Laurinaitis (knee) will be monitored day to day but should be fine.
- As for the game, Spagnuolo again expressed disappointment about the outcome. And I have to say, in my nearly six and a half years of covering this team, that was probably the most dejected locker room I've entered. Just a brutal loss in a game the Rams could certainly have won. Spagnuolo did mention that he thought it was a good thing his team was so upset. It means they care and will do everything possible to ensure a loss like that never happens again.
"We should still have the same confidence we had 48 hours ago. That doesn't change. We are the same team. so go out there and practice with confidence this week to go win a game. That's what we will be focused on."
- On the topic of the missed opportunities that continue to plague the Rams defense, specifically the easy interceptions they continue to drop, Spagnuolo suggested that it might be more of a mental thing at this point and maybe they should just stop talking about it and let it happen organically.
- Spagnuolo also continued to stand by the decision to take timeouts at the end of the first half in hopes of getting the ball back for his offense. The theory is simple, too, that the Rams could have gone up three scores and really made things hard on the Bucs coming out of the locker room at the half.
"No. No. No. I just felt like 17-3, I felt good about our offense getting the ball back," Spagnuolo said. "Again, this is confidence in the defense now, I never expected that third and (16) that they would get that third and (16). I wanted to leave as much time on the clock as we could for the offense. They got the first down and they were off and running."
- After a scintillating debut, Rams WR Danario Alexander was mostly quiet against Tampa. In fact, his reps were a bit limited overall. But Spagnuolo said that had nothing to do with a sore knee and everything to do with the game plan.
"There was nothing there. The way the offense works with the receivers is they are in there for certain plays. When those are dialed up, he goes in. It's not you have this series, you have that series. It doesn't work that way. It just worked out that way."
- For the record, the Rams clearly had the intent to run the ball and used a lot of multiple tight end sets to try to make sure that happened. Spagnuolo did say he'd like to see more of Alexander in the future.
"Yeah, I would like to get him more involved. No question."
- About 975 tickets remain for Sunday's game against the Panthers and the pre-game Isaac Bruce jersey retirement ceremony. If you want to be there, you can get tickets here at stlouisrams.com or by calling 314-RAMS-TIX.
- The Rams get back to work with practice on Wednesday as they begin preparation for this week's game against Carolina and the Isaac Bruce retirement ceremony. With all of the hoopla surrounding the event, it should be a fun week. Stay tuned to stlouisrams.com for plenty of Bruce-related features throughout the week.

Mistakes, Missed Chances Hurt RamsPosted by on October 25, 2010 – 2:14 AM
- Sunday's 18-17 loss to the Bucs is the type that can linger and sting for a while for all involved. Nevermind the fact that the Rams jumped out to a 17-3 lead with 17 unanswered points in the first half in a 30-minute segment of the game the team absolutely dominated.
- But the amount of missed opportunities and mistakes that the Rams piled up once again kept them from surpassing the .500 mark and taking the next step toward contender status.
- What's more, on a day when RB Steven Jackson should have the chance to exult in his performance and his new franchise rushing record, it's a shame he was unable to do it with a win. More on that in a moment but let's hit the injuries first.
- Jackson came out with a slight neck injury for a few plays in the second half. He returned in the fourth quarter but his absence clearly hurt the Rams when they were trying to generate offense in the third quarter. Coach Steve Spagnuolo said he figured Jackson would be sore but was hopeful it was nothing serious.
- Injuries didn't hit anywhere as hard as the secondary. Already without pregame inactives Justin King and Darian Stewart, the Rams had a limited Ron Bartell playing through a bruised thigh and later a stinger in his shoulder. Kevin Dockery suffered a rib injury but was able to return. Safety James Butler suffered perhaps the most serious injury of the day; a sprained MCL. The severity of that won't be known until Monday morning when he can get it looked at closer. And finally, CB Bradley Fletcher had a hamstring injury and cramping near the end of the game that cost him playing time.
- It was no coincidence that the Bucs had passing success down the stretch with a tired defense and a banged up secondary.
- RB Keith Toston had a groin injury but played through it.
- DT Darell Scott, coming off a high ankle sprain, was sore and had to come out of the game.
- Clearly, Sunday's loss was extremely disappointing for everyone but before we delve further into it, let's take a moment to recognize Jackson. He's an unbelievable teammates, leader, player and person. His growth into the team's all time leading rusher has truly been amazing. And Rams fans should cherish every game he gets to wear the colors.
- As for the game, it was the same old song and dance with the disparity between the first half and second half. It killed the Rams on the road against Oakland in week 2, it nearly did last week against San Diego and it definitely did in Tampa.
- So, that leaves the simple question…why does it continue to happen? The answer is apparently not so simple but here's one way to keep it from happening: stop getting flagged for silly penalties like jumping offsides. The Rams have more false start penalties than any team in the league at this point in the season. Two of those absolutely stalled two key late drives.
- One flag came midway through the fourth quarter. The Rams had just put together a pair of first downs and a false start pushed them back 5 yards to change a third-and-6 to a third-and-11. Jackson gained 7 yards on the next play. That's the difference between keeping a drive going and scoring points and not.
- The overall team effect that not getting first downs has is the part that makes it most difficult to overcome. With the offense coming off the field and not regularly picking up first downs, the defense has to spend long stretches of time on the field. That can wear them down and hurt when teams are driving for the winning points.
- Of course, the defense can also help the offense by making plays that are there to be made. The Rams missed a pair of golden opportunities for interceptions against Tampa, either of which could have sealed a victory. They also forced a pair of fumbles they were unable to come up with. Those things can, at the very least, swing field position.
- QB Sam Bradford said after the game that his performance was not good enough. "I was just off today. That's really inexcusable. A game like this, your team needs you to put points on the board and I can't go out and execute. It's tough. I have got to get better."
- Bradford finished 13-of-26 for 126 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. That gave him one of his best quarterback ratings of the year but he missed throws he makes regularly and it was clear he was a bit off.
- WR Danario Alexander didn't play much. Spagnuolo said there were certain packages and personnel groupings he's in but the way the game was going and factors such as penalties dictated his limited role.
- Another point Spagnuolo and his players pointed to for the loss: poor tackling. The Rams gave up some crucial yards after contact on plays where had they been able to get the runner down; it might have given them the second necessary to come up with a win.
- The pass rush was good early but wilted in the heat.
- Tip of the cap to Tampa Bay QB Josh Freeman. He made plays when he had to and got the job done.
- The Rams didn't have a major turnover issue but the one that hit early was enough to make a difference and provide the Bucs with the points needed to win.
- Tampa Bay K Connor Barth deserves credit for doing his job well, also. He hit four field goals, including a monster from 53 yards away.
- The Rams will review the film tomorrow and then move on to preparation for Carolina in the final contest before the bye week. That's all for this evening.

Pregame Notes
- Greetings from Raymond James Stadium where the Rams and the Bucs are preparing for a noon kickoff.
- A quick reminder that RB Steven Jackson needs just 32 yards to surpass Eric Dickerson and become the Rams' all time leading rusher. That record should fall relatively early today and I'll keep an updated, running log of where he is as he approaches it right here.
- On the inactive list, not much in the way of surprises. The Rams inactives are S Darian Stewart, CB Justin King, WR Mardy Gilyard, LB Curtis Johnson, T Renardo Foster, DT Clifton Ryan, TE Fendi Onobun and DE Eugene Sims.
- For the Bucs, inactives are third QB Rudy Carpenter, CB Elbert Mack, RB Earnest Graham, C Jeff Faine, G Keydrick Vincent, TE Jerramy Stevens, DT Brian Price and DE Alex Magee.
- James Butler will start at safety in place of Craig Dahl.
- Jeremy Zuttah starts at C for Faine for the Bucs. Ted Larsen starts for Vincent at left guard.
- Stay tuned for updates throughout the game.

CustomerRichard from Port Orange FL
I replaced the defrost timer. Not very difficult. At first, the new part did not make a difference. After about 48 hours, the temp in the refrig section began to drop. It got down to 30 degrees so I raised the temp. I also put more items in the refrig and after a few hours, the temp rose to 40 degrees and I have not been able to get the temp off that number. Any suggestions?
Time to do repair:Less than 15 mins
CustomerJeffrey from Little Falls NY
Part # had been replaced with another timer. Original timer had 2 wires coming out of it. Replacement only had 1 wire. Instructions showed 2 options for where to place the wire. I chose option 2 and I guess I was right. Installation took less than 15 minutes and refridge is back to normal. (Quiet)
CustomerPatrick from Sun City AZ
it was a simple repair once I located the part I had to replace . I really like your speedy delivery of the part I needed Thank you Pat Crotty

Soiling pants, medically known as encopresis, is much more common in boys than in girls. It occurs more in children with a strong sense of privacy or a strong tendency to concentrate on an activity to the point that they are unwilling to stop long enough to use the toilet. By understanding why this unpleasant problem occurs, you can help your child master his bowel habits.
Why it happens?
This is how I explain pant soiling to a child. The bowel, like the bladder, sends a signal to the brain: "I need emptying." (Draw a picture of the bowel below and the brain above and connect the two by an arrow, and refer to this diagram as you explain to the child.) When your bowel is full, it tells the brain it needs emptying, and the brain says: "Go to the nearest toilet." (This defecation reflex, or urge to empty the bowel, automatically occurs in persons with healthy bowel habits.) If you listen to what your brain tells you, bowel and brain continue to talk to each other; you go to the toilet when necessary, and your pants stay clean.
But suppose you don't listen to your brain, either because you're too busy, too lazy, or you just plain can't hear what your bowel and brain say. In this case, they stop talking to each other. The bowel lets go whenever it wants to and there's poop in your pants. Usually a doughnut muscle at the opening of your bowel squeezes closed to help keep the poop inside until you can get to the toilet. Sometimes this muscle gets lazy and opens up. Sometimes you smell it before you feel it.
If you don't listen to your bowel signals the poop gets big and hard and won't come out. This weakens the doughnut muscle around the bowel. It doesn't "feel" when the bowel is full, and you get all plugged up. It's called constipation; it feels uncomfortable. That's when you have two types of bowel movements, "hard poop" and "soft poop." The hard poop stays in your bowel and the soft poop – sometimes it's even watery – leaks around the hard poop, and you don't even feel it until it's in your pants. The longer this goes on, the harder the poop gets, the weaker the doughnut muscle gets, and the less bowel and the brain talk to each other.
So how can we keep this from happening? you ask. (Encourage the child to answer.) Always listen to what your bowel tells you. Instead of being busy and not paying attention to your body, go to the toilet as soon as your bowel says, "I'm full." Next, you can keep your poop from getting hard. See constipation.
Busy little bowels. Keep (with your child's help) a diary of when your child soils his pants. What triggers holding on to the bowel movements and what triggers letting go? Does he poop when he is stressed in group play? Is he so engrossed in play that he ignores his bowel signals? Little boys with little bowels are forgetful. If your diary detects a correlation between play and soiling, call this connection to your child's attention. "As soon as you feel bowel pressure, go sit on the toilet. Don't hold on to it."
Embarrassed little bowels. Some children are embarrassed about toileting. Rather than let their playmates know they have to go to the toilet or ask the teacher to go to the bathroom, they ignore bowel signals; consciously or subconsciously they convince themselves – and their full bowel – that they really don't have to go. Impress upon your child that toileting is as normal as eating. Everyone does it. Perhaps some children can't imagine their teacher ever having to go to the bathroom.
Lazy little bowels. Some children don't want to "waste time" going to the toilet. Rather than interrupt play, expending the effort to go all the way to the toilet, get undressed, redressed, and reenter play, the child ignores his body signals. To help your child do his own toileting quickly, have simple elastic bands on pants and shorts.
Blocked little bowels. Paradoxically, the most common medical cause of pant soiling that I see in my office is constipation. This diagnosis surprises parents ("But it runs out…") What soils the pants is the soft, watery stool that leaks past the hard feces. By examining your child, the doctor can tell if constipation is the culprit. See constipation.

6 Ways to Expand Your Mind at the Math Museum
Please don't touch the exhibit! Just kidding. The Museum of Mathematics, which opens Dec. 15 in New York City, encourages kids and adults to experiment with the installations on display. PM got an early look inside. Here are some of our favorites.
By Sarah Fecht
String Product
This colorful parabola-shaped thing is actually a calculator for multiplication. The horizontal rings are numbered 1 through 10, and rectangular flags at the center spiral upwards from 1 to 100. At the side of the exhibit there are two keypads, each numbered 1 through 10this is where you enter the numbers you want to multiply. If you enter 2 and 5, one string will light up, and that's the one strung between rings 2 and 5. That string crosses the "10" flag. That's your answer: 2 x 5 = 10. Enter 3 x 4 and the string that crosses 12 lights up. When it's not in use, all of the strings light up, as shown above.

A February blizzard makes us shuttle quickly between the sprawl of conference venues, chain motels with folksy names, and restaurants grafted to casinos. In spite of temperatures in the minus 20's and windgusts coming off the Pryor Mountains, some fifteen hundred of us range managers, ranchers and grassland scientists have gathered here from all over the larger West. Hats, coats and programs in hand, we select between talks on "Optimized Plant Frequency as a Surrogate Measure for Species Abundance" or "Habitat Selection by Free-ranging Feral Horses," or "Rodents as Agents of Ecological Change," each of which is in a different conference building.
This is the sixth Society for Range Management (SRM) Annual Meeting I've been privileged to attend over the years. I've just finished presenting my paper, "Effects of Biological Control Insects on Diffuse Knapweed," so I'm free to shuttle between concurrent sessions, following threads that interest me. How bison grazing habits differ from those of cattle. How wolf re-introductions improve the health of rivers (by terrifying the elk that overuse riparian vegetation). How tallgrass prairie will disappear if it isn't burned regularly.
A big event at SRM is the notoriously tough Range Plant Identification Contest, for range management students from Universities across the West. Time was when this Contest was owned by students from places like Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, but now the upstart Mexican and even Canadian students are horning in on the action. After the Contest is over, organizers let us ordinary mortals come in to have a look. We heave a sigh of collective but silent relief; thank god we don't have to enter the Contest and put our ignorance on display.
We take a half-day bus tour to see a bit of the Yellowstone country. As we head east out of Billings on I-90, the amiable tour guide points out the town's coal-fired electrical generating plant. "Uses two railcars of coal per day," she says, more with pride than concern. I cringe, thinking of the poorly insulated walls and single glazing back in our room at the Howard Johnson. We leave the bus to do a frigid sprint to the top of Pompey's Pillar, to see William Clark's 1806 initials carved into the sandstone. According to the Doctrine of Discovery, this was one of the ways of taking possession of a country, by signing your name to it. You also had to inform the locals of the name of their new ruler.
On the bus trip back, I strike up a conversation with a grizzled veteran of some twenty-five previous SRM meetings. I ask him why Billings, why February. "We did one in Hawaii once," he replied, "but the reviews weren't that good. We're hard-bitten ranchers and range guys, and I guess we're more comfortable in places like Casper or Albuquerque."
I saw his point. There's no better place to focus the mind than Billings in February.

WASHINGTON, October 12, 2013 — Good Morning America's (GMA) Tory Johnson seems to have it all. She is a contributor for GMA, has a husband, Peter, who she says her friends claim appears a cross between Russell Crowe and George Clooney and is proud of her children, Emma, Jake and Nick. She resides in the Upper West Side and lives the good life.
However, she carried with her two things: fear of losing a most cherished career because of the second burden, because she was very overweight and had been so all her life.
Johnson's weight issue was always on her mind because of childhood ridicule that rang in her ears throughout adulthood. The issue never became more clear than the day her boss, Barbara Fedida, scheduled their first one-on-one meeting. It was at this meeting Fedida told Johnson in so many words she was fat and needed to do something about it. Fedida was too kind to specifically mention weight but Johnson got the message.
This is when Johnson began to practice was she calls The Shift.
Johnson's efforts led her on a journey of self-discovery that resonates with anyone who has had to endure the hardship of losing weight and in Johnson's case, 70 pounds. Interestingly, the psychology she developed to undertake her journey is textbook in today's world of the science of the mind.
Johnson declares permanently changing the eating experience may be more difficult than quitting drugs or alcohol because one must daily subject themselves to the very addictive substance that is destroying them.
Johnson's book "The Shift: How I Finally Lost Weight and Discovered a Happier Life," is written with blunt honesty and appropriate humor to underscore the events and vicissitudes of losing weight not by dieting, but creating an entire new outlook on food as fuel that permanently changes what one consumes.
Johnson chronicles her fight to stick out a program of healthy eating and exercise to achieve her goals and claims anyone can accomplish such goals with a particular mindset.
Bear in mind Johnson also founded a business with just an AOL address and dial–up internet after she was released from a job she thought she would have forever at NBC News.This is an important aspect for the mindset Johnson discusses.
The name of the company speaks for itself,"Women for Hire." This and a second business called "Spark and Hustle" produce events and programs for aspiring entrepreneurial women. Both are multi-million dollar businesses.
Her approach to success in business served her in her mindset for losing weight. Johnson expressed to the Washington Times Communities the keys to success for lifetime healthy habits are similar to success in business such as determination, persistence, self-forgiveness when weakened, tenacity and tenaciousness. In fact, throughout "The Shift," Johnson peppers the reader with motivational comments to support those attempting to change their lives.
Johnson has used her experiences as a sought after motivational speaker as an author, so one can turn almost any page and find something to help them bolster self-esteem, strength and support.
Johnson goes on to explain when weight goals are met in small increments not to get discouraged. She did not get heavy overnight, nor did she get slim overnight.
The final gift for the reader is her explanation regarding the rewards experienced when one finally wins the battle. She is quite frank in this area and her overview of how life changes and improves dramatically serves to motivate readers even more.
Readers must be cognizant that regardless of Johnson's successes, they were greatly diminished by her weight problem. Readers will realize if Johnson's life was so dramatically altered by "The Shift" they can imagine what effect achieving their personal goals can have for them.
One effect that stands out in "The Shift" is Johnson realized Fedida's meeting was designed from a loving relationship and was not a personal attack of any kind. The honest appraisal came from a loving heart to a friend whose weight problem was standing in her way.
We should all have such friends.
If anyone is considering weight loss and life changing advice combined with keys for success that can last a lifetime, "The Shift" is a must read.

- 0Nov 22, '05 by ghostcatQuote from PICC chichas any out there in the PICC world placed any 3L PICC's?
I am hoping to trial some in the next couple of weeks. I am very excited, there are many patients that I PICC that could definately use a triple lumen. Just wondering if anyone has any feedback on them.
We have used some triple lumens - one word of caution though, they are open ended catheters. The ports come with clamps and they must be clamped when not in use to avoid occlusion. They should also not be sent home with a patient because they are at too great a risk if they break or the cap comes off.
We use them in patients with lots of stuff going on, but we always remove or exchange before transferring out of the hospital.
- 0Nov 23, '05 by Gail-AnnePICC ACE, where are you placing 2 5fr PICCs? And I mean where in the arm....not where in the world!!! Are you tying up both arms with PICCs or using basilic and cephalic on the same arm? I'm thinking that's a lot of PICC running thru the same subclavian vein. What is the rate of thrombous and fibrin sheaths doing this?
- 0Nov 24, '05 by PICC ACEGail-Anne:
I've done them both ways--one in each arm and two in the same arm. If I think I need to use the same arm I check with the ordering MD to see if they have any concerns about two lines going into one subclavian. I've only had to do that three times in the last 2 years,so it doesn't happen often. In two cases,they were postop CABG's that had a prolonged ICU stay and they really needed their IJ's out. In that case I'd think the complication rate for 2 PICCs in one subclavian would still be less than one IJ. Also,since one of these patients had both radials harvested for the bypasses,I needed to leave one arm free for BP's. The other fellow has a big abdominal surgery and his two PICCs in the same arm worked fine for over a month.
I 'googled' it briefly but couldn't find any data on the complication rate for 2 PICCs in one arm. My gut feeling is that the rate may be a little higher but then since one of them is brachial or cephalic,this fact alone may bump up the rate itself.
- 0Nov 24, '05 by DeterminedOneWe keep the Bard 6Fr on hand in our facility and I have placed them several times - always on ICU patients who were on numerous drips/TPN/etc.. that really required three lumens. I have never had a problem with phlebitis or thrombus with the triple lumens - I attribute that to careful assessment of the patients I use them on. So far, the other Picc nurses at my facility have not placed any of the triple lumens - I think they find them a little scary because they are a larger line.
I have never placed two piccs in one arm - that idea is new to me. If I found I needed more lumens I might place a second line in the other arm, or just place a triple lumen. Those of you who are placing two lines in one arm, how can you be sure that both lines don't end up in the same vessel in that arm? I mean, it is possible the way veins sometimes branch into other veins. If that happened I would think that would really increase that risk of phlebitis or thrombus formation.
- 0Feb 19, '08 by memarc1120We use triple lumen piccs in our small community hospital in the CCU. We love them. The staff nurses love them. We dont have any problems with clogging,clotting,emboli or anything. Believe it or not. They are not hard to place, even with very sick pt's. We have been thanked many times over because they dont have to be sent to IR. We use 6FR TL Bard POWER PICC's.
- 0Feb 25, '08 by ~*RN*~Triple lumen PICCs are awesome! If I walked out of the ICU placing a single or double rather than a triple I would definitely get attacked by the nurses. They would be furious!:angryfire As you can imagine, the three lumens are great in patient who have a ton of meds running. I remember the first time I placed a Bard 6Fr TL PICC...the introducer scared me (it was so big). Now I have placed hundreds of them! Go get 'em!

The Worst of the Madness
He also wants to show that this interaction had consequences for the inhabitants of the region. From a great distance in time and space, we in the West have the luxury of discussing the two systems in isolation, comparing and contrasting, judging and analyzing, engaging in theoretical arguments about which was worse. But people who lived under both of them, in Poland or in Ukraine, experienced them as part of a single historical moment. Snyder explains:
The Nazi and Soviet regimes were sometimes allies, as in the joint occupation of Poland [from 1939–1941]. They sometimes held compatible goals as foes: as when Stalin chose not to aid the rebels in Warsaw in 1944 [during the Warsaw uprising], thereby allowing the Germans to kill people who would later have resisted communist rule…. Often the Germans and the Soviets goaded each other into escalations that cost more lives than the policies of either state by itself would have.
In some cases, the atrocities carried out by one power eased the way for the other. When the Nazis marched into western Belarus, Ukraine, and the Baltic states in 1941, they entered a region from which the Soviet secret police had deported hundreds of thousands of people in the previous few months, and shot thousands of prisoners in the previous few days. The conquering Germans were thus welcomed by some as "liberators" who might save the population from a genuinely murderous regime. They were also able to mobilize popular anger at these recent atrocities, and in some places to direct some of that anger at local Jews who had, in the public imagination—and sometimes in reality—collaborated with the Soviet Union. It is no accident that the acceleration of the Holocaust occurred at precisely this moment.
To look at the history of mid-twentieth-century Europe in this way also has consequences for Westerners. Among other things, Snyder asks his readers to think again about the most famous films and photographs taken at Belsen and Buchenwald by the British and American soldiers who liberated those camps. These pictures, which show starving, emaciated people, walking skeletons in striped uniforms, stacks of corpses piled up like wood, have become the most enduring images of the Holocaust. Yet the people in these photographs were mostly not Jews: they were forced laborers who had been kept alive because the German war machine needed them to produce weapons and uniforms. Only when the German state began to collapse in early 1945 did they begin to starve to death in large numbers.
The vast majority of Hitler's victims, Jewish and otherwise, never saw a concentration camp. Although about a million people died because they were sent to do forced labor in German concentration camps, some ten million died in killing fields in Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia—that means they were taken to the woods, sometimes with the assistance of their neighbors, and shot—as well as in German starvation zones and German gas chambers. These gas chambers were not "camps," Snyder argues, though they were sometimes adjacent to camps, as at Auschwitz:
Under German rule, the concentration camps and the death factories operated under different principles. A sentence to the concentration camp Belsen was one thing, a transport to the death factory Bełz·ec something else. The first meant hunger and labor, but also the likelihood of survival; the second meant immediate and certain death by asphyxiation. This, ironically, is why people remember Belsen and forget Bełz·ec.
He makes a similar point about Stalin's victims, arguing that although a million died in the Soviet Gulag between 1933 and 1945, an additional six million died from politically induced Soviet famines and in Soviet killing fields. I happen to think Snyder's numbers are a little low—the figure for Gulag deaths is certainly higher than a million—but the proportions are probably correct. In the period between 1930 and 1953, the number of people who died in labor camps—from hunger, overwork, and cold, while living in wooden barracks behind barbed wire—is far lower than the number who died violently from machine-gun fire combined with the number who starved to death because their village was deprived of food.
The image we have of the prisoner in wooden shoes, dragging himself to work every morning, losing his humanity day by day—the image also created in the brilliant writings of Primo Levi, Elie Wiesel, and Alexander Solzhenitsyn—is in this sense somewhat misleading. In fact, prisoners who could work had at least a chance of staying alive. Prisoners who were too weak to work, or for whom work could not be organized because of war and chaos, were far more likely to die. The 5.4 million Jews murdered in the Holocaust mostly died instantly, in gas chambers or mobile vans or in silent forests. We have no photographs of them, or of their corpses.
The chronological and geographical arguments presented in Bloodlands also complicate the debate over the proper use of the word "genocide." As not everybody now remembers, this word (from the Greek genos, tribe, and the French -cide) was coined in 1943 by a Polish lawyer of Jewish descent, Raphael Lemkin, who had long been trying to draw the attention of the international community to what he at first called "the crime of barbarity." In 1933, inspired by news of the Armenian massacre, he had proposed that the League of Nations treat mass murder committed "out of hatred towards a racial, religious or social collectivity" as an international crime. After he fled Nazi-occupied Poland in 1940, Lemkin intensified his efforts. He persuaded the Nuremburg prosecutors to use the word "genocide" during the trials, though not in the verdict. He also got the new United Nations to draft a Convention on Genocide. Finally, after much debate, the General Assembly passed this convention in 1948.
As the Stanford historian Norman Naimark explains in Stalin's Genocides, the UN's definition of genocide was deliberately narrow: "Acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group." This was because Soviet diplomats had demanded the exclusion of any reference to social, economic, and political groups. Had they left these categories in, prosecution of the USSR for the murder of aristocrats (a social group), kulaks (an economic group), or Trotskyites (a political group) would have been possible.
Although Lemkin himself continued to advocate a broader definition of the term, the idea that the word "genocide" can refer only to the mass murder of an ethnic group has stuck. In fact, until recently the term was used almost exclusively to refer to the Holocaust, the one "genocide" that is recognized as such by almost everybody: the international community, the former Allies, even the former perpetrators.
Perhaps because of that unusually universal recognition, the word has more recently acquired almost magical qualities. Nations nowadays campaign for their historical tragedies to be recognized as "genocide," and the term has become a political weapon both between and within countries. The disagreement between Armenians and Turks over whether the massacre of Armenians after World War I was "genocide" has been the subject of a resolution introduced in the US Congress. The leaders of the Orange Revolution in Ukraine campaigned to have the Ukrainian famine recognized as "genocide" in international courts (and in January 2010, a court in Kiev did convict Stalin and other high officials of "genocide" against the Ukrainian nation). But the campaign was deliberately dropped when their more pro-Russian (or post-Soviet) opponents came to power. They have since deleted a link to the genocide campaign from the presidential website.
As the story of Lemkin's genocide campaign well illustrates, this discussion of the proper use of the word has also been dogged by politics from the beginning. The reluctance of intellectuals on the left to condemn communism; the fact that Stalin was allied with Roosevelt and Churchill; the existence of German historians who tried to downplay the significance of the Holocaust by comparing it to Soviet crimes; all of that meant that, until recently, it was politically incorrect in the West to admit that we defeated one genocidal dictator with the help of another. Only now, with the publication of so much material from Soviet and Central European archives, has the extent of the Soviet Union's mass murders become better known in the West. In recent years, some in the former Soviet sphere of influence—most notably in the Baltic states and Ukraine—have begun to use the word "genocide" in legal documents to describe the Soviet Union's mass killings too.
Naimark's short book is a polemical contribution to this debate. Though he acknowledges the dubious political history of the UN convention, he goes on to argue that even under the current definition, Stalin's attack on the kulaks and on the Ukrainian peasants should count as genocide. So should Stalin's targeted campaigns against particular ethnic groups. At different times the Soviet secret police hunted down, arrested, and murdered ethnic Poles, Germans, and Koreans who happened to be living in the USSR, and of course they murdered 20,000 Polish officers within a few weeks. A number of small nations, notably the Chechens, were also arrested and deported en masse during the war: men, women, children, and grandparents were put on trains, and sent to live in Central Asia, where they were meant to die and eventually disappear as a nation. A similar fate met the Crimean Tatars.
Like Snyder's, Naimark's work has also ranged widely, from his groundbreaking book on the Soviet occupation of East Germany to studies of ethnic cleansing. As a result his argument is authoritative, clear, and hard to dispute. Yet if we take the perspective offered in Bloodlands seriously, we also have to ask whether the whole genocide debate itself—and in particular the long-standing argument over whether Stalin's murders "qualify"—is not a red herring. If Stalin's and Hitler's mass murders were different but not separate, and if neither would have happened in quite the same way without the other, then how can we talk about whether one is genocide and the other is not?
To the people who actually experienced both tyrannies, such definitions hardly mattered. Did the Polish merchant care whether he died because he was a Jew or because he was a capitalist? Did the starving Ukrainian child care whether she had been deprived of food in order to create a Communist paradise or in order to provide calories for the soldiers of the German Reich? Perhaps we need a new word, one that is broader than the current definition of genocide and means, simply, "mass murder carried out for political reasons." Or perhaps we should simply agree that the word "genocide" includes within its definition the notions of deliberate starvation as well as gas chambers and concentration camps, that it includes the mass murder of social groups as well as ethnic groups and be done with it.

BBC NEWS | England | Wiltshire | Farmer's concern over rural crime
A farmer has spoken of his concern over an "epidemic of vandalism and theft" on his organic farm and other small holdings in Wiltshire.
(Pertwood Organic Farm covers 750 hectares)
Wilfred Mole is calling for the problem to be dealt with otherwise farmers will face financial hardship.
Back in the bad old days, before Pertwood became organic I used to flog pallet loads of pesticides to them so I know it was a big farm. When Mr Mole bought it a year or so ago he may not have bought it all but to equivocate it to a small holding is plain silly, but to the BBC "organic" means cuddly small farmers handmilking goats in their amusing ethnic clothing, not a £10 million business which actually farms professionally and produces an excellent consistent product.
Mr Wilfred Mole is South African, judging by his accent. I am sure as an experienced South African farmer he would welcome, as would all farmers down here, a more "robust" approach to the problems of trespassers and thieves.


text: Will Y&R kill-off Phyllis Newman? Jul 29 2013, 03:29 PM by Aaron Hagey-McKay With Michelle Stafford leaving The Young and the Restless, fans have been led to wonder about the fate of her iconic character, Phyllis. Will she be killed-off or recast? Read on to catch up on the latest major Y&R plotlines, and let us know what you think will happen to Phyllis Newman! Will Phyllis Newman die? Phyllis is in hospital and unable to speak after falling down the stairs during an argument with Sharon at Nikki's Multiple Sclerosis Gala. Sharon revealed that she switched the paternity tests, reinstated Nick as Summer's daughter, not Jack, as we had briefly thought. Now Phyllis struggles to get out the truth as Jack sits by her side with a marriage proposal and the silent spectre of Sharon watching through the hospital room door window. The scoop on Michelle Stafford moving on: With the actress who plays Phyllis, Michelle Stafford, leaving the show, it has lead fans to wonder about the fate of her iconic character. Will she be killed-off or recast? Phyllis was recast in the past, with Sandra Nelson taking over the part in 1997 for a about a year, only to be recast again with Michelle Stafford in 2000. The Examiner has mentioned an anonymous source claiming that "The Young and the Restless fans may have to wait months, perhaps even years, to find out the fate of the iconic Phyllis Newman." What do you think will happen Y&R fans? Meanwhile on Y&R, Lauren is kidnapped... Again! Lauren Fenmore has an unfortunate habit of being kidnapped and last week's episodes of The Young and the Restless put her through it yet again. For someone who has been taken has hostage and put in a cage, trapped in an abandoned zoo and also buried alive, you'd think she'd be used to it by now. This time it was her infatuated lover, Carmine Bascoe. Michael and Lauren's marriage is still trying to put itself back together after Lauren tried to distract herself from her problems in the arms on a generous and hunky bartender. Before Lauren decided to break it off and fix things with her husband, Carmine used to serve her champagne on the house. Now all he's serving is pain in a cabin. After several attempts to send Carmine a message to leave his family alone, he was driven to a breaking point after Michael's son, Fen, overdosed in an alley and accused Carmine of selling to him (even though he just found him there). Michael took a pistol and pointed it at Carmine in a stare-down. Lauren pleaded with Michael to put the gun away and he eventually did. Carmine goes to Paul and has Michael arrested for aggravated assault, which gets bumped to attempted murder thanks to a judge. Billy finally fires Carmine as bartender, leaving him with nothing to do but get desperate and lure Lauren using Fen's phone to a cabin in the woods. Lauren gets tied up but tries to play on Carmine's insane love for her. She eventually convinces him to loosen the restraints and then stabs him in the arm with a fork! He is able to overpower her and asks, "So you want to get rough, do you?" ...sounds like it's time for some good old-fashioned vigilante justice! Meanwhile, Michael is locked-up, but luckily, his brother Kevin is now working as an extra-legal hacker for the police. He's able to figure out where Basco is and create a diversion for the cops with a computer assisted lock-down that also releases Michael. Michael bursts through the door just as Lauren was tied to the bed and just before Carmine was going to rape her. They fight. Carmine beats him to the ground. Thinking he's out cold, he turns his attention to Lauren, but then Michael comes from behind and they fight again, and Michael beats him to the ground this time. Thinking he's out cold, Michael turns his attention to Lauren. Paul and his cops burst through the door. Michael asks them to arrest Carmine, and then slinks away undetected. Paul being Chief of police, decides not to enforce the law for his friends. But where is Carmine Bascoe? Tracy E. Bregman quotable: In an interview with TV Guide, Tracey E. Bregman asks, "Honey, what's with me and duct tape?" Bergman continues: "Every Y&R writer finds a way to somehow bind me in duct tape. But this one I never saw coming. Obviously Carmine was obsessed with Lauren. But he started out such a sweet, gentle soul. She never imagined he'd become psychotic and physically dangerous. Neither did I!" _______When is The Young and the Restless on TV? In Canada, The Young and the Restless airs weekdays at 4.30 et/4.00 pt on Global TV Where can I watch The Young and the Restless online for free?

Alex rescued Paris St Germain from a second defeat in three days as the Brazilian defender's late goal earned a 1-1 draw at Guingamp in Ligue 1 on Saturday.
The leaders were knocked out of the Coupe de France by Montpellier in midweek and another loss looked to be on the cards when they fell behind to a Mustapha Yatabare strike in the 84th minute.
However, former Chelsea man Alex struck four minutes later to secure a result which takes PSG six points clear of Monaco, who are in action at home to Marseille on Sunday.
Montpellier followed up their shock cup win over PSG with a 3-1 win over Nice that moves them six points clear of the bottom three.
Goals from M'Baye Niang, Vitorino Hilton and Souleymane Camara proved more than sufficient to see off Nice, who replied through Alexy Bosetti.
Rock-bottom Ajaccio and second-last Sochaux shared the points in a 1-1 draw at Stade Francois-Coty thanks to Vincent Nogueira's stoppage-time equaliser.
Benjamin Andre got Ajaccio off to the perfect start in the eighth minute when he beat goalkeeper Simon Pouplin at the far post, and the Corsican side looked to have claimed their second win of the season until Nogueira levelled in the 93rd minute.
The result keeps Ajaccio two points behind Sochaux, who are in turn nine points from safety.
Third-bottom Valenciennes claimed a point against Lorient in a 1-1 draw at the Stade du Hainaut.
Saliou Ciss' 39th-minute own goal had given Lorient the lead but Gregory Pujol netted the equaliser for the home side shortly after the break to claim a vital point.
Nantes and Reims played out a goalless stalemate that maintains both teams' unlikely assault on the top six, while the fixture between Toulouse and Bastia was postponed after heavy rain caused a high risk of flooding around the Stadium Municipal de Toulouse.
