Wayward Coffeehouse Tuesday Timed Writing
March 31 @ 2:30 pm - 4:00 pm UTC-7
Practice your craft every Tuesday in a welcoming community of writers. We are an open-to-all group who have been writing in cafés for 20+ years. This is timed writing.
Writing starts promptly at 2:30. Arrive early to get a snack, beverage, pastry, and conversation.
We write for 45 minutes in two formats. Both have start lines. The first is "Today I am writing about…" and that table/group writes straight through in one 45 minute session. You know what you want and this is where you dig deep. Writers read their work to the table.
The second format is random start lines generated by the members of the table. This group will work with 4 individual start lines. Each start line will kick off a timed session: 5, 10, 15, 5 minutes. Stopping and reading the new lines eats up a few minutes. The 4 start line method gives new-to-the-format writers traction for the long haul and experienced writers benefit from random inspiration.
All genres are welcome. Come give us a try!

This section contains information that you must consider before deciding how to install this product. It contains the following sections:
Installing Oracle Database Vault in an Oracle Data Guard Environment
Oracle Database Vault Default Audit Policy and Initialization Parameters
The platform-specific hardware and software requirements included in this guide were current when this guide was published. However, because new platforms and operating system software versions might be certified after this guide is published, review the certification matrix on the My Oracle Support website for the most up-to-date list of certified hardware platforms and operating system versions. The My Oracle Support website is available at:
You must register online before using My Oracle Support. After logging in, from the menu options, select the Certifications tab. On the Certifications page, use the Certification Search options to search by Product, Release, and Platform. You can also search using the Certification Quick Link options such as Product Delivery, and Lifetime Support.
You can use Oracle SQL Developer to view metadata and data of several non-Oracle databases. Refer to "Database Certification for SQL Developer (Oracle and Third-Party)" in Oracle SQL Developer Installation Guide for more information.
This product supports multiple Oracle homes. So, you can install this release or earlier releases of the software more than once on the same system, in different Oracle home directories.
You must install Oracle Database into a new Oracle home directory. You cannot install products from one release of Oracle Database into an Oracle home directory of a different release. For example, you cannot install Oracle Database 11g Release 2 software into an existing Oracle9i Oracle home directory.
You can install this release more than once on the same system if each installation is installed in a separate Oracle home directory.
The Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a standalone server provides the infrastructure to include your single-instance database in an enterprise grid architecture. Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2) combines these infrastructure products into one software installation called the Oracle Grid Infrastructure home. On a single-instance database, the Oracle Grid Infrastructure home includes Oracle Restart and Oracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM) software.
To use Oracle ASM or Oracle Restart, you must first install Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a standalone server before you install and create the database. Otherwise, you must manually register the database with Oracle Restart.
See Also:Chapter 3, "Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Standalone Server" for more information about installing Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a standalone server
When you install Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a standalone server, Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) configures the single-node version of Oracle Cluster Synchronization Services (CSS). Specifically, CSS is a daemon process that is configured by the
root.sh script.
The CSS service is required to enable synchronization between an Oracle ASM instance and the database instances that rely on it for database file storage. Because the service must be running before an Oracle ASM instance or database instance starts, it is configured to start automatically by Oracle Restart before the Oracle ASM instance is started. It must be running if an Oracle database is using Oracle ASM for database file storage.
For single-instance installations, the CSS daemon is installed-in and runs from the Oracle Grid Infrastructure home which is the same home that runs Oracle ASM.
Note:On cluster systems with Oracle RAC installations, the CSS daemon is configured during the Oracle Clusterware installation. If the system is running Oracle Clusterware, then see Oracle Real Application Clusters Installation Guide for Linux and UNIX for information about removing Oracle RAC or Oracle Clusterware.
See Also:
If you plan to use Oracle Data Guard with Oracle Database Vault, then see My Oracle Support note 754065.1 at:
Oracle Database Vault installs a baseline database auditing policy. This policy covers the access control configuration information stored in Oracle Database Vault database tables, information stored in Oracle Catalog (rollback segments, tablespaces, and so on), the use of system privileges, and Oracle Label Security configuration. When you install Oracle Database Vault, the security specific database initialization parameters are initialized with default values.
See Also:Oracle Database Vault Administrator's Guide for more information about the database audit policy
You can choose different installation methods to install Oracle Database, as follows:
When you use the interactive method to install Oracle Database by selecting the Create and configure a database option, Oracle Universal Installer displays a series of screens that enable you to specify all the required information to install the Oracle Database software and create a database.
Starting with Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2), Oracle Universal Installer provides you the following options:
Desktop Class: Select this option if you are installing on a laptop or desktop class system. This option includes a starter database and allows minimal configuration. This option is designed for those who want to quickly set up a database.
Server Class: Select this option if you are installing on a server class system, such as what you would use when deploying Oracle Database in a production data center. This option allows for more advanced configuration options. Advanced configuration options available with this option include Oracle RAC, Oracle ASM, backup and recovery configuration, integration with Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control, and more fine-grained memory tuning, among others.
Furthermore, the Server Class option provides you with the following installation types:
Typical: Select this installation method to quickly install Oracle Database. This installation type requires minimal user input. OUI installs the software and optionally creates a general-purpose database using the information that you specify on the screen. It is the default installation type.
Advanced: Select this installation type to complete any of the following tasks:
Select a database character set or different product languages.
Create the EXAMPLE tablespace during the installation.
Create a database on a different file system from the software.
Specify different passwords for administrative schemas.
Configure automated backups or Oracle Enterprise Manager notifications.
Configure Oracle Configuration Manager.
Customize components from the available components list. In the Select Database Edition screen, if you select Enterprise Edition, then Oracle Universal Installer automatically selects the components most customers need for their Oracle Database installation. You can also click Select Options to customize components from the components list.
See Also:"Reviewing Component-Specific Installation Guidelines" for additional information about Oracle database installation
By creating a response file and specifying this file when you start Oracle Universal Installer, you can automate some or all of the Oracle Database installation. These automated installation methods are useful if you must perform multiple installations on similarly configured systems or if the system where you want to install the software does not have X Window system software installed.
When you use a response file, you can run Oracle Universal Installer in the following modes, depending on whether you specify all of the required information:
Silent Mode: Oracle Universal Installer runs in silent mode if you use a response file that specifies all required information, and specify the
-silent option when starting Oracle Universal Installer. None of the Oracle Universal Installer screens are displayed.
Response File Mode: Oracle Universal Installer runs in response file mode if you do not specify all required information in the response file.
For more information about these modes and about how to complete an installation using response files, see Appendix A.
Use the Software Updates feature to dynamically download and apply the latest updates released by Oracle; such as, interim patch updates, critical patch updates, Oracle Universal Installer updates, and the latest patch set updates. This functionality is available with Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (184.108.40.206).
You can choose to download the latest updates by providing your My Oracle Support credentials or you can apply previously downloaded updates. You can also download the updates separately using the
-downloadUpdates option and later apply them during the Oracle Database installation by providing the location of the updates.
See Also:"Running Oracle Universal Installer" for more information on the
-downloadUpdates option and dynamically applying software updates during installation
You can choose one of the following database editions when installing Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2):
Enterprise Edition: Installs licensable Oracle Database options and database configuration and management tools in addition to all of the products that are installed during a Standard Edition installation. It also installs products most commonly used for data warehousing and transaction processing. This option also allows you to enable or disable individual components from a components list.
Standard Edition: This installation type is designed for department-level or workgroup-level applications and for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It is engineered to provide core relational database management services and options. It installs an integrated set of management tools, full distribution, replication, web features, and it helps build business-critical applications.
Standard Edition One: This installation type is designed for department-level, workgroup-level, or web applications. From single-instance environments for small business to highly distributed branch environments, Oracle Database Standard Edition One includes all the features necessary to build business-critical applications.
You must install Oracle Database Client separately. You cannot install it during an Oracle Database installation. See Oracle Database Client Installation Guide for Linux for installation instructions.
The installation process is the same for all the database editions.
Ensure that you install only those products for which you have a valid license.
See Also:Oracle Database Licensing Information for more information about the features available with each Oracle Database edition and for information about licensing
During the Oracle Database installation, you can choose to create an Oracle database as part of the installation. If you choose to create an Oracle database, then Oracle Universal Installer uses Oracle Database Configuration Assistant to create it. You can create the database with one of the preconfigured database types, which are designed for a variety of different applications, modify one of the preconfigured database types, or create a customized database to meet your requirements.
This section describes the following database configuration options:
Oracle provides the following preconfigured database types that you can create or customize during the installation:
General Purpose/Transaction Processing
Data Warehouse
See the online help provided by either Oracle Universal Installer or Oracle Database Configuration Assistant for a description of these preconfigured database types.
Oracle Universal Installer runs Oracle Database Configuration Assistant in one of two modes, depending on the choices that you make during the installation:
Silent or response file mode
If you choose either the Enterprise Edition or Standard Edition database edition, then choose to create a preconfigured database type. Oracle Universal Installer prompts you for the minimum amount of information required to create a database of the type you choose. It then runs Oracle Database Configuration Assistant in silent or response file mode to create the database after it installs the software.
Note:Oracle recommends that you use this method to create a database if you have not previously created one.
Interactive mode
Install the database using Oracle Universal Installer and start Oracle Database Configuration Assistant from the Oracle home. Oracle Database Configuration Assistant runs in interactive mode. Using the screens in Oracle Database Configuration Assistant, you can either modify one of the preconfigured database types or customize the database.
Note:If you use this method to create a database, then click Help on any of the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant screens for a description of the information that you must specify on that screen.
If you did not create a database during the installation, then you can use Oracle Database Configuration Assistant to create a database after you install the software. For more information about using Oracle Database Configuration Assistant to create a database after installation, see "Creating and Managing a Database with DBCA" in Oracle Database 2 Day DBA.
If you create a database during the installation, you can specify one of the following storage options for database files:
Note:Installing files on raw devices is no longer an option during installation. You must use a file system or Oracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM).
If you use the file system option, then Oracle Database Configuration Assistant creates the database files in a directory on a file system mounted on the computer. Oracle recommends that the file system be separate from the file systems used by the operating system or the Oracle software. The file system can be any of the following:
A file system on a disk that is physically attached to the system
If you are creating a database on basic disks that are not logical volumes or RAID devices, then Oracle recommends that you follow the Optimal Flexible Architecture (OFA) recommendations and distribute the database files over many disks.
A file system on a logical volume manager (LVM) volume or a RAID device
If you are using multiple disks in an LVM or RAID configuration, then Oracle recommends that you use the stripe and mirror everything (SAME) methodology to increase performance and reliability. Using this methodology, you do not have to specify multiple file system mount points for the database storage.
A network file system (NFS) mounted from a certified network-attached storage (NAS) device. You also have the option to use the Direct NFS Client feature, which simplifies the administration of NFS configurations and also improves performance.
If the NAS device is certified by Oracle, then you can store the database files on them.
See Also:
"General Configuration Guidelines for NAS Devices" for NAS device certification information
If you use the Advanced database creation option, then you can also use the Oracle Managed Files feature with the new database. If you use this feature, then you must specify only the database object name instead of file names when creating or deleting database files.
Oracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM) is a high-performance storage management solution. For Oracle Database files, it simplifies the management of a dynamic database environment, for example, creating and laying out databases and managing disk space.
Oracle ASM can be used with single database installations, multiple database installations, and in Oracle RAC environments. It can be used with databases created in Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1.0.3 or later). However, Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2) databases must use Oracle ASM from Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2) or later. Oracle ASM is installed as part of the Oracle Grid Infrastructure installation. If you plan to use Oracle ASM, then you must install Oracle Grid Infrastructure before you install and create the database. If you want to upgrade an existing Oracle ASM installation, then you must upgrade Oracle ASM by running an Oracle Grid Infrastructure upgrade.
See Also:Chapter 3, "Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Standalone Server" for more information about installing the Oracle Grid Infrastructure software
Oracle ASM manages the storage of all database files, such as redo logs, control files, and data pump export files.
Oracle ASM can manage the Oracle Database executable binary files and any other non-database files by creating a file system with Oracle Automatic Storage Management Cluster File System. Although Oracle Automatic Storage Management Cluster File System is cluster-aware, it also works as a file system on a single-instance database.
At a high level, implementing Oracle ASM involves allocating partitioned disks for Oracle Database with preferences for striping and mirroring. Oracle ASM manages the disk space for you. This helps avoid the need for traditional disk management tools, such as Logical Volume Managers (LVM), file systems, and the numerous commands necessary to manage both. The synchronization between Oracle ASM and the database instance is handled by CSS.
The following are components of an Oracle ASM installation:
Oracle Automatic Storage Management Disk Groups
A disk group is a set of disk devices that Oracle ASM manages as a single unit. Each disk device can be an individual physical disk, a multiple disk device, such as a RAID storage array or logical volume, or a partition on a physical disk. In most cases, disk groups consist of one or more individual physical disks. To enable Oracle ASM to balance input/output operations and storage efficiently within the disk group, you must ensure that all devices in the disk group have similar, if not identical, storage capacity and performance.
You can set the redundancy and striping attributes of individual file types within a disk group by using Oracle ASM disk group templates. When you create a disk group, Oracle ASM creates a set of default templates for that disk group. Default template settings depend on the disk group type. For example, the default template for control files for both normal and high redundancy disk groups is set to three-way mirroring. Other files are configured with two-way mirroring for normal redundancy, or three-way mirroring when configured for high redundancy. For a high redundancy disk group, the default mirroring cannot be changed, which implies that all files are always three-way mirrored in a high redundancy disk group. You can modify the default templates to suit your site's needs. See Oracle Automatic Storage Management Administrator's Guide for more information.
Oracle ASM spreads data evenly across all the devices in the disk group to optimize performance and utilization. You can add or remove disk devices from a disk group without shutting down the database. When you add or remove disks, Oracle ASM rebalances the files across the disk group. You can create multiple disk groups to do specific tasks, such as backup and recovery operations, in addition to regular file storage activities.
When you add a device to a disk group, you can specify a failure group for that device. Failure groups identify disk devices that have common failure characteristics, for example, devices that are attached to the same controller. If the controller fails, then all devices attached to it become unavailable. By default, each device also belongs to its own failure group. By using the failure groups you specify, Oracle ASM can distribute data among the devices in the disk group to minimize the risk of data loss caused by component failures.
Oracle Automatic Storage Management Instance
The Oracle ASM instance is a special Oracle instance that manages Oracle ASM disk groups. The Oracle ASM instance and the
ASMSNMP account are created and started, if necessary, when you install Oracle Grid Infrastructure. Oracle Enterprise Manager uses this account to monitor Oracle ASM instances to retrieve data from Oracle ASM-related data dictionary views. The
ASMSNMP account status is set to
OPEN upon creation, and it is granted the SYSDBA privilege.
Oracle recommends that you have the Oracle ASM instance in its own Oracle home. Oracle also recommends that you run this instance before you start a database instance that uses Oracle ASM.
For an Oracle Database installation, you only need one Oracle ASM instance, regardless of the number of database instances on the computer.
See Also:"Managing Oracle ASM Users with Oracle Enterprise Manager" in Oracle Automatic Storage Management Administrator's Guide for information about the
ASMSNMP user
To simplify database administration, Oracle provides a web-based management tool called Oracle Enterprise Manager. There are different ways to deploy Oracle Enterprise Manager:
Deploy Oracle Enterprise Manager centrally in the environment
To deploy Oracle Enterprise Manager centrally, you must install at least one Oracle Management Repository and one Oracle Management Service within the environment, then install an Oracle Enterprise Management Agent on every computer to manage. You can then use a single HTML interface to manage and monitor software and hardware targets on all of those systems. Targets can include Oracle databases, application servers, net listeners, and third-party software. This single interface is called Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control (Grid Control).
Oracle Enterprise Manager is available separately on the Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control installation media.
For the latest certification information, see My Oracle Support note 412431.1, "Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control Certification Checker" at:
Deploy Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control locally on the database system
Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control software is installed by default with every Oracle Database installation. This local installation provides a web-based interface called Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control. The Database Control is similar to the Grid Control, but it can manage only a single database. If you want to administer multiple databases on a system, then you must either configure a separate Database Control for each database, or you must install Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control.
See Also:Oracle Enterprise Manager Concepts manual and the Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control Basic Installation Guide on the Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control installation media for more information about Oracle Enterprise Manager
This section contains the following topics:
Features Provided by Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control
When you create a preconfigured database during the installation, you must select the Oracle Enterprise Manager interface to use to manage the database. The following options are available:
Use Grid Control for central database management
This option is available only if an Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control Agent is installed on the system. When Oracle Universal Installer detects an Oracle Management Agent on the system, you can choose this option and specify the Oracle Management Service to use to manage the database.
If an Oracle Management Agent is not installed, then you must use Database Control to manage the database. However, if Oracle Management Agent is installed after Oracle Database, then you can use Grid Control to manage this database.
Use Database Control for local database management
This option is selected by default if an Oracle Management Agent is not installed on the system. However, even if a Management Agent is installed, you can still configure Database Control to manage the database.
Install the database using Oracle Universal Installer and start Oracle Database Configuration Assistant from the Oracle home. Oracle Database Configuration Assistant runs in interactive mode. Using a screen in Oracle Database Configuration Assistant, you can specify the Oracle Enterprise Manager interface to use to manage the database. You can also choose not to configure the database with Oracle Enterprise Manager.
Oracle recommends that you configure the database to use Oracle Enterprise Manager during installation. However, if you do not configure the database to use Oracle Enterprise Manager during the installation, then you can use Oracle Database Configuration Assistant after the installation to configure the database to use it.
Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control provides a web-based user interface that enables you to monitor, administer, and maintain an Oracle database. You can use it to perform all database administration tasks. You can also use it to determine information about the database, such as:
Instance name, database version, Oracle home location, media recovery options, and other instance data
Current instance availability
Database alert information
Session and SQL-related performance information
Space usage matrix
In addition, it provides you with automatic notification of security alerts and the ability to download and apply patches for the software.
If you use Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control during the installation, then you can optionally enable automated database backups that use the Oracle-suggested default backup strategy. You do not have to enable automated backups during the installation. If you prefer, you can use Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control or Grid Control to configure automated backups after you install the software and create a database.
This section contains the following topics:
See Also:
Oracle Database 2 Day DBA for information about using Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control to configure or customize automated backups or to recover a backed up database
Oracle Database Backup and Recovery User's Guide for more detailed information about defining a backup strategy and backing up and recovering Oracle databases
If you enable automated backups, then Oracle Enterprise Manager schedules a daily backup job that uses Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN) to back up all of the database files to a disk storage area called the fast recovery area. The first time the backup job runs, it creates a full backup of the database. Subsequent backup jobs perform incremental backups, which enable you to recover the database to its state at any point during the preceding 24 hours.
To enable automated backup jobs during installation, you must specify the following information:
The location of the fast recovery area
You can use either a file system directory or an Oracle ASM disk group for the fast recovery area. To set the default values for fast recovery area and data file location, use Oracle base as the starting point. See "Oracle Base Directory" for more information on Oracle base.
Default fast recovery area:
Default data file location:
The default disk quota configured for the fast recovery area is 2 GB. For Oracle ASM disk groups, the required disk space depends on the redundancy level of the disk group that you choose. Chapter 2 describes how to choose the location of the fast recovery area and identifies its disk space requirements.
An operating system user name and password for the backup job
Oracle Enterprise Manager uses the operating system credentials that you specify when running the backup job. The user name that you specify must belong to the UNIX group that identifies database administrators (the
ORA_DBA group). This user also must have
Logon As A Batch Job privilege.
If you enable automated backups after choosing a preconfigured database during the installation, then automated backup is configured with the following default settings:
The backup job is scheduled to run every morning at 2.00 a.m.
The disk quota for the fast recovery area is 2 GB.
If you enable automated backups by using Oracle Database Configuration Assistant, either during or after the installation, then you can specify a different start time for the backup job and a different disk quota for the fast recovery area.
During the installation, if you choose the option to use Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control for database management, then you can also configure Oracle Enterprise Manager to automatically send you an email when specific events occur. These events can include occurrences such as the disk space reaching a critical limit (a threshold) or a database shutting down unexpectedly.
If you enable email notifications, then you must specify the following information:
The host name of a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server
The email address that should receive the alerts
The email address that you specify could belong to an individual, or a shared email account, or a distribution list.
You can use Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control to set up, change, or customize email notifications after you create the database.
Note:The Enable Email Notifications option is not available starting with Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (188.8.131.52).
Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2) database for 32-bit Linux can be migrated to an Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2) database for 64-bit Linux. See "Database Migration from a 32-Bit Linux to 64-Bit Linux Computer" section in the Oracle Database Administrator's Reference for Linux and UNIX-Based Operating Systems for migration information.
For information about upgrading an earlier release of Oracle Database to Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2), see Oracle Database Upgrade Guide. The following sections provide additional platform-specific upgrade information that you must review before upgrading an existing database:
When you upgrade to a new release of Oracle Database, the operating system requirements may have changed. If required, upgrade your operating system before upgrading Oracle Database. See Chapter 2, " Oracle Database Preinstallation Tasks" for a list of supported operating systems.
To upgrade the operating system and then perform a database upgrade, perform one of the following procedures:
Upgrade the operating system. Then, upgrade the database either manually or by using Oracle Database Upgrade Assistant.
Migrate to a new computer using one of the following methods:
To upgrade the database on the new computer:
Copy the database files from the computer running the previous operating system to the one running the supported operating system.
Re-create the control files on the computer running the supported operating system.
Manually upgrade the database using the method described in Oracle Database Upgrade Guide.
Note:You cannot use Oracle Database Upgrade Assistant if you use this method. However, this method lets you easily revert to the earlier database.
You can also upgrade the database using the Export/Import utilities method described in Oracle Database Upgrade Guide.
See Also:The table on "Supported Upgrade Paths for Upgrading Oracle Database" in Oracle Database Upgrade Guide for information about upgrading your current database release
In previous releases, Oracle ASM was installed as part of the Oracle Database installation. With Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2), Oracle ASM is part of an Oracle Grid Infrastructure installation, either for a cluster or for a standalone server.
If you want to upgrade an existing Oracle ASM installation, then you must upgrade Oracle ASM by running an Oracle Grid Infrastructure upgrade. If you do not have Oracle ASM installed and you want to use Oracle ASM as your storage option, then you must complete an Oracle Grid Infrastructure installation before you start your Oracle Database installation.

Orthopedic surgery is used to treat tight muscles and spasticity related to cerebral palsy. An incision is made in the skin over the affected muscle. Parts of the muscle are then cut to release the tightness.
After orthopedic surgery:
The type of orthopedic surgery done to treat problems from cerebral palsy depends on which muscle groups are affected. Some basic goals are to loosen the:
Orthopedic surgery may be considered when a child with CP has:
Corrections made during orthopedic surgery may be temporary. As a person grows, the same muscles or other muscles may become tight and cause contractures. Additional surgery may be needed.
Surgery of any kind carries the risk of bleeding, infection, or need for repeated surgery. Orthopedic surgery carries the additional risk that it may resolve some problems only to create more as a child grows and develops.
Doctors do not agree about the best age for children with CP to have surgery. Surgery may be postponed until a child is older than age 2. At that time, the doctor can try to release many tight muscles during the same surgery, instead of releasing only one muscle at a time. Avoiding repeated surgeries has many advantages, such as decreasing the number of times a child needs to go to the hospital, decreasing overall time spent in physical therapy, and less disruption of the child's school and social life.
Before a child has orthopedic surgery, it is important to determine whether he or she will be able to walk after the procedure. The goals for children who will walk differ from the goals for children who will not walk.

Rupert Murdoch quits newspaper boards in U.S., U.K.
Move descibed as 'corporate housecleaning exercise'
Media mogul Rupert Murdoch has resigned as a director of a number of News Corp. subsidiary boards in Britain and the United States, a spokeswoman confirmed Saturday.
Murdoch stepped down this past week as a director of NI Group, Times Newspaper Holdings and News Corp. Investments in the U.K., said Daisy Dunlop, spokeswoman for News Corp.'s British arm, News International. The companies oversee Britain's newspapers The Sun, The Times, and The Sunday Times.
It was not immediately clear which of News Corp.'s U.S. boards Murdoch had left. Britain's Telegraph newspaper, which first reported the news late Saturday, said those details had not yet been disclosed by the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
News International sought to play down the significance of the resignations, saying in a statement that "this is nothing more than a corporate housecleaning exercise prior to the company split."
That was a reference to News Corp.'s announcement June 28 that it would separate its publishing business from its much more profitable media and entertainment business -- forming two distinct, publicly traded companies. Under those proposed changes, Murdoch, 81, will chair both of the companies, although he would continue as chief executive of the media and entertainment company only.
Saturday's announcement suggests that Murdoch may be distancing himself from his British newspaper interests, which have been shaken to the core by a widespread phone hacking scandal.
The scandal erupted anew last year when it emerged that Murdoch's now-defunct News of the World tabloid had systematically hacked voicemails of politicians and celebrities. The revelations have rocked Britain's establishment and triggered three parallel police investigations that have resulted in more than 40 arrests.
Illegal eavesdropping allegations at the News of the World led to the resignation of Rebekah Brooks, then-CEO of News International, who has been accused of perverting justice in the scandal.

In the Blog
a pretty corny contribution
For my Film Friday this week, I'm offering not a review or a critique, but a Shameless Exclusive. A friend directed me to this short video made by New York artist and musician Jessica Segall. It's a history of corn told in shadow-puppetry - a fine mix of art, history, politics, oh and just a little sci-fi. (Of course, if you think about it, lots of food-politics stuff is way more Twilight Zone than Rod Serling's most out-there fantasy.) Hope you enjoy. And eat those Corn Pops while you can, because after this you may never again.
Drop in on Jessica Segall and her band here.

Mattingly: Selig did 'great job' as commissioner
SAN FRANCISCO -- Dodgers manager Don Mattingly tries to stay out of issues above his job, but he did have comments about the announcement that Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig would retire in 2015.
"Seems he did a great job to me," said Mattingly. "Labor peace for years. Seems like big strides in communication between the union and ownership. All the stuff with the performance-enhancing stuff. Getting more comprehensive testing. He's been great. The players have got to love him. They should."
Mattingly, a player representative during the 1994 strike that wiped out the World Series, conceded that he couldn't have predicted he would eventually feel that way about Selig, who was commissioner then.
"It would have been hard to think about it," said Mattingly. "There were so many battles every couple of years. Like anything else, it took '94 to say, 'That's enough of that.' Same with PEDs. The more it happened, the more comprehensive it got with better and better testing."

In an email sent to fellow officers on Tuesday (Sept. 22), Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly of the Louisville Metro Police Department, defended the events that led to the death of Breonna Taylor and called out the city's treatment of officers, amid Black Lives Matter protests. Mattingly blasted Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer, former Louisville FBI agent Amy Hess, and LMPD police chief Steve Conrad, and brazenly referred to protestors as "thugs" who "get in your face and yell, curse and degrade you."
He went on to claim that demonstrators have thrown bricks and urine at police, and that officers are expected to "do nothing." The authenticity of the email was confirmed by Mattingyl's attorney, CNN reports
"It goes against EVERYTHING we were all taught in the academy. The position that if you make a mistake during one of the most stressful times in your career, the department and FBI (who aren't cops and would piss their pants if they had to hold the line) go after you for civil rights violations," Mattingly wrote in seeming reference to Taylor's death, which is being investigated by the FBI. "Your civil rights mean nothing, but the criminal has total autonomy.
"We all signed up to be police officers. We knew the risks and are willing to take them, but we always assumed the city had our back," he continued. "We wanted to do the right thing in the midst of an evil world to protect those who cannot protect themselves."
Taylor was killed during a March 13 raid led by Mattingly. The 26-year-old EMT was sleeping in bed when officers began firing into her residence without warning. The incident stemmed from an alleged drug investigation involving Taylor's ex-boyfriend. Taylor was hit at least eight times. Her current boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, was unaware that police were raiding the home and fired back at officers reportedly wounding Mattingly. Walker was indicted for attempted murder of a cop, but the charges were later dropped.
Mattingly, Myles Cosgrove, and fired LMPD officer Brett Hankison, are under investigation over Taylor's death. Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron has yet to announced whether or not charges will be brought against them, but it appears that they may not face criminal reprimand as the city of Louisville issued a state of emergency ahead of an announcement on the case, which could come as early as Wednesday (Sept. 23).
Later in the rant, Mattingly claimed that police aren't racist. "We as police DO NOT CARE if you are black, white, Hispanic, Asian, what you identify as…this week. We aren't better than anyone. This is not an us against society, but it is good versus evil."
Speaking of the pending investigation over Taylor's death he added, "I don't know a lot of you guys/gals but I've felt the love. Regardless of the outcome today or Wednesday, I know we did the legal, moral and ethical thing that night. It's sad how the good guys are demonized, and criminals are canonized.
"Put that aside for a while, keep your focus and do your jobs that you are trained and capable of doing," he advised. "Don't put up with their sh*t, and go home to those lovely families and relationships."

New: LMPD Sgt.

When WNBA star Maya Moore first met her now husband, Jonathan Irons, their relationship was strictly platonic. Things changed after she helped to get his wrongful conviction overturned, and the happy couple recently tied the knot.
"We wanted to announce today that we are super excited to continue the work that we are doing together, but doing it as a married couple," Moore told Good Morning America on Wednesday (Sept. 16). "We got married a couple months ago and we're excited to just continue this new chapter of life together."
Catch us tomorrow on @GMA with @RobinRoberts! #winwithjustice pic.twitter.com/0z1B1RRS2b
— Maya Moore (@MooreMaya) July 2, 2020
Irons was 16 years old when he was tried as an adult and falsely convicted by an all white jury and sentenced to 50 years for a burglary and shooting. He maintained his innocence throughout, but he would have never been convicted had the case been handled properly. Aside from being wrongfully identified in a lineup, fingerprint evidence that could have proved his innocence was withheld from his lawyers. After serving 23 years for a crime he did not commit, Irons' conviction was overturned in March.
Moore, 31, has known Irons, 40, since she was 18 years old. The two met through a prison ministry program and their relationship slowly transitioned from a friendship to romance. Irons confessed his love for Moore while incarcerated at Missouri's Jefferson City Correctional Center. "I wanted to marry her but at the same time protect her because being in a relationship with a man in prison, it's extremely difficult and painful. And I didn't want her to feel trapped and I wanted her to feel open and have the ability any time if this is too much for you, go and find somebody. Live your life. Because this is hard."
He popped the question in their hotel room following his prison release. "It was just me and her in the room and I got down on my knees and I looked up at her and she kind of knew what was going on and I said, 'will you marry me,' she said, 'yes.'"
Moore, a small forward for the Minnesota Lynx, is taking a break from basketball and has been working alongside her husband to encourage people to vote. The newlyweds also plant to advocate for others who have been wrongfully convicted.
See more on their love story in the video below.
It's been six months since Breonna Taylor was killed by Louisville police officers while sleeping in her own home. The officers involved in her death, Jonathon Mattingly, Brett Hankison and Myles Cosgrove, have yet to be arrested, but a monetary agreement has been reached to settle a civil lawsuit filed by Taylor's family.
The city will pay Taylor's family $12 million in addition to implementing policy reform measures, Mayor Greg Fischer announced on Tuesday (Sept. 15).
"I cannot begin to imagine Ms. Palmer's pain," Fischer said of Taylor's mother, Tameka Palmer. "And I am deeply, deeply sorry for Breonna's death. Although these steps, including policy changes, do not change the past, I hope this brings some measure of peace."
Fischer noted that Taylor's death "ignited" a local and national movement "for racial justice sending thousands into our streets and in cities all across the country and the world — all crying for justice for Breonna." Taylor's death has "triggered a renewed commitment to addressing structural and systematic racism" in Louisville and around the country, said Fischer.
"Justice for Breonna means that we will continue to save lives in her honor," said Taylor's mother, Tameka Palmer. "No amount of money accomplishes that, but the police reform measures that we were able to get passed as a part of this settlement mean so much more to my family, our community, and to Breonna's legacy. We know that there is much work still to be done and we look forward to continuing to work with community leaders, the mayor's office, and other elected leaders to implement long-term sustainable change to fight systemic racism that is plaguing our communities."
The multi-million dollar settlement is the latest step that Louisville has taken in wake of Taylor being killed by police. In June, the Louisville city council passed "Breonna's Law" banning no-knock warrants, like the one used to violently raid Taylor's home on March 13. Police claim that the raid stemmed from a drug investigation that reportedly involved Taylor's ex-boyfriend who did not live at the residence and had already been arrested.
Benjamin Crump, an attorney representing Taylor's family, called the $12 million settlement a step in the right direction. "This will bring progress and reform out of this tragedy to protect other Black lives," he tweeted.
Today, we got some #JusticeForBreonnaTaylor! Along with a $12 million civil settlement, we secured comprehensive police reform in Louisville. This will bring progress and reform out of this tragedy to protect other Black lives. pic.twitter.com/DyilAkmWag
— Ben Crump (@AttorneyCrump) September 15, 2020
As part of the settlement, Louisville Metro Government agreed to a list of changes including community related policy programs, search warrant reforms, and police accountability reforms.

Vanguard says Chief Investment Officer Gus Sauter will retire on Dec. 31, when he will be replaced by Tim Buckley. Sauter, 57, joined Vanguard in 1987 and is head of the firm's global investment management groups, which oversee about $1.6 trillion of Vanguard's $2.1 trillion in global assets.
"Under his leadership, Vanguard has emerged as a world-class investment management firm with an unparalleled record of accomplishment," said Vanguard CEO Bill McNabb, in a press release. "And it is equally important to acknowledge Gus for his contributions as a member of Vanguard's senior staff; the entire enterprise has greatly benefited from his values, judgment, investment acumen, and ability to identify and develop the best investment talent in the industry."
Buckley, 43, is currently a managing director. He has been a member of Vanguard's senior staff since 2001 and has directed Vanguard's Retail Investor Group, which has about 5 million investor clients, since 2006.
The future CIO joined Vanguard in 1991 as assistant to then-Chairman John C. Bogle. He is also a long-tenured member of Vanguard's Portfolio Review Group, which includes nine executives.
"Tim Buckley has a strong commitment to the Vanguard way of investing, a keen intellect, and a passion for serving Vanguard clients," said McNabb. "He will inherit a deep, talented group of more than 300 highly experienced equity, fixed income, risk management, and investment strategy professionals who oversee Vanguard portfolios on behalf of clients around the globe."
Career Highlights
Sauter joined Vanguard as head of the firm's internal equity management group on October 5, 1987, two weeks before that year's market crash, in which stocks declined more than 22% in a single day. At that time, Vanguard says, it offered just two index funds—Vanguard 500 Index Fund and Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund, with aggregate assets of $1.2 billion.
The fund group introduced its Vanguard Extended Market Index Fund in December 1987 and, in subsequent years, Sauter worked to further expand its index lineup. Today, Vanguard manages more than $1.1 trillion in total index assets.
Sauter was also responsible for developing Vanguard's active quantitative equity strategies, which now include 15 domestic active portfolios totaling $12.1 billion.
Seeking to broaden the acceptance and use of index funds, Sauter led Vanguard's foray into exchange-traded funds (ETFs). He helped develop a structure through which ETFs are offered as a separate share class of existing Vanguard index funds. Vanguard now offers 64 ETFs with nearly $200 billion in aggregate assets.
Sauter was named Vanguard's first chief investment officer in 2003, assuming responsibility for all in-house stock and fixed-income management functions. In recent years, he has focused on integrating Vanguard's global investment management capabilities to support the company's expansion in Australia, the Pacific Rim, the U.K, Canada and Europe.
"I look back with a mixture of pride and humility on helping to popularize the indexing concept. I am also grateful for being associated with Vanguard for nearly my entire career, for it is an organization that truly stands alone in putting the interests of its clients first and giving them the best chance for investment success," said Sauter, in a statement.
"It is time to pass the baton to a new leader who can further build upon our strong investment management foundation. Tim Buckley is the right choice for Vanguard and for our clients," added the CIO, who is considering a number of activities after he retires, such as teaching.

These cats have been "ear-tipped" or "notched". This is a surgical alteration showing that a free-living cat has been spayed/neutered. It's part of "TNR", which means "Trap", "Neuter", "Return".
These cats should never be re-trapped or brought to a shelter, unless sick. Instead, they should be left in their neighborhood to provide cat population control. Studies have shown by just being there, they prevent other cats from moving into the area. And, because they have been fixed, they will never have litters of kittens.
Even if you don't like cats, TNR ear-tipped cats have an important job to do in keeping your neighborhood a nice place to live.

High-net-worth investors would rather talk about politics, religion and sex than money, according to a survey released Thursday by deVere Group.
DeVere, an independent financial advisory organization, surveyed more than 1,100 people in the United States, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, the United Arab Emirates and South Africa about subjects they find difficult to discuss with family, friends and colleagues. Respondents had at least $1.5 million in investable assets.
More than 60% of respondents said money was the most uncomfortable topic of conversation. Just 14% said the same about politics. Eleven percent said sex was the most uncomfortable topic of conversation and 8% said it was religion.
Nigel Green, founder and CEO of deVere Group, suggested an increasing openness online contributed to the large gap in comfort levels between money and other topics.
"Today, because of the amount of available current affairs information, it is easier to have and share opinions on issues such as politics and religion than it has been for previous generations," Green told ThinkAdvisor by email. "Talking openly and frankly about politics has become an increasingly acceptable part of everyday life in the 21st century for many people."
Advisors aren't likely to see the level of discomfort among their clients. Most of the respondents were working with a financial professional, Green said, noting, "I suspect they are more than happy to talk about money with a professional as they are working with them, primarily, to safeguard and maximize their wealth."
However, while clients may feel guilt or shame in discussions of money with other people, Green said their interactions with advisors are largely positive.
"When it comes to their interactions with their advisors, it's our experience that high-net-worth clients channel their energies into ensuring that their wealth is used to improve the lifestyles and increase the opportunities for their loved ones," he said. "For example, the majority will focus on education planning to help give their children and grandchildren the best possible start in life; retirement planning to be able to enjoy a long, active, financially secure retirement with their families; and estate planning so they can leave a decent legacy for their heirs. With their wealth, which empowers them and their families to live the life they want to live, comes responsibility, and it's a responsibility they quite rightly take seriously."

Klout Quietly Launches Cinch, a Companion Q&A App
Klout really wants to make you care about your online influence.
That's in part why the company has, with little fanfare, pushed out Cinch, an iOS application that pairs questions asked by users with other "experts" on certain topics, based on their amount of knowledge of the area in question.
The idea is basically leveraging the value of Klout's flagship product, which purports to rank people in terms of their influence in certain areas. I, for instance, tweet a whole bunch about Facebook and Twitter as companies, so it would make sense for a product like Cinch to pair a person's Facebook-related questions with my answers.
I can't tell you how good Klout's pairing abilities are, because I haven't seen them in action yet. But in The Next Web's initial testing the idea works well enough.
The whole point, it appears, is to prove to consumers that, yes, Klout does indeed have a consumer value outside of knowing how "cool" you are online. As I've long argued, Klout's justification as a business intelligence service seems like an easy argument; if a brand can identify the people who matter that tweet and share about a product, that brand will be able to monitor and ultimately court these high-profile users.
I'm not sure how well this whole Cinch thing will go, and it seems to still be in an early testing phase, just as Klout's "Experts" program was when it launched in a limited capacity in May. I'll be keeping an eye on it for a wider release.

The northernmost tip of Queensland is the only place in the world where two natural World Heritage areas come together, the Daintree Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef. Discover the untouched wilderness of Australia's wild north in Cape York and the Torres Strait Islands.
The capital of Tropical North Queensland is the perfect jumping-off point for the Great Barrier Reef, with boats departing every day to cruise, snorkel and dive. Seek out waterfalls in the Atherton Tablelands close to the city, eat fresh seafood on the trawler-turned-restaurant Prawn Star in the marina and pick up some colourful local produce at Rusty's Markets.
Cairns International Airport is 10 minutes from the city centre, with flights to most Australian capitals and cities in New Zealand, Asia and PNG.
The dreamy resort town of Port Douglas is a popular spot for local and visiting foodies. Spend a day in the green surrounds of Mossman Gorge and swim in the many sheltered waterholes. In September, celebrate the flavours of Tropical North Queensland alongside celebrity chefs and local producers at the annual Taste festival.
Port Douglas is a one-hour drive north from Cairns.
Come to where the rainforest meets the reef. The vast Wet Tropics World Heritage Area includes the ancient Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation, threaded with walking trails, waterfalls, rivers and gorges. Connect with one of the oldest cultures on earth and learn the Dreamtime stories of the Indigenous people who have lived here for over 50,000 years.
Snorkel straight from the beach on Green Island and dive with inquisitive potato cod off five-star Lizard Island. Take a dip surrounded by the boulders at Nudey Beach on Fitzroy Island, voted Australia's best in 2018, or check into one of just 10 luxury villas on the exclusive Bedarra Island. Adventurous travellers can head for the remote Torres Strait, a string of untouched 274 islands with a unique blend of cultures.
Full- and half-day tours run from Cairns to Green Island. Lizard Island is a private resort and can only be accessed by a one-hour scenic flight from Cairns. Horn Island in the Torres Strait is a two-hour flight from Cairns.

Which Conference Should Notre Dame Have Joined? — Sports Survey of the Day
Some big news out of the college sports world: The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have moved to the Atlantic Coastal Conference in all sports except football.
Notre Dame has been part of the Big East Conference since 1995, but will now be going to the ACC. The move comes as a bit of a shock, but school officials say that the ACC is the best fit for them.
The football program will remain independent, but as part of the deal, the Irish will now face five ACC opponents a year in football. The school maintains that being part of the ACC will provide them with many advantages, but more likely they were just trying to get out of the dying Big East before it goes belly up.

I never thought I'd sing to my pregnant belly. But after reading the research that claims there are many benefits to talking and singing to your unborn child, I gave it a try. At the time I was working in the city, so each morning I'd sit alone in my car while waiting for the train and sing "You Are My Sunshine," a classic song my parents sang to me, to my precious belly bump. I tried to keep it up throughout my pregnancy, wishing and hoping that when my daughter was born she'd recognize my voice.
So last March when Maggie was born, my husband, Jason, and I quickly learned that newborns sleep on very different schedules than we do. And whether I sat in the glider and rocked her, or walked around the house, I sang my version of "You Are My Sunshine" over and over and over again -- eventually it soothed her to sleep. Jason had a different approach. He enjoyed singing "Three Is a Magic Number" by Blind Melon and "Here Comes The Sun" by The Beatles. Even now, almost seven months later, Maggie is calmed by our singing, no matter how silly or out-of-tune we may be.
For many parents, the songs they sing to their children have special meaning. Others are just looking for new ideas on what to sing -- anything to get them to sleep, right?
With that in mind, I asked our Facebook and Twitter followers to tell us what songs they sing (or sang) to their kids. Here's what they said.

Family favorites
We sang "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" to Brian, now 3, his whole life. If he's not feeling well and every night after prayers. He now sings it to soothe his brother, Leo, who is 6 months, every time he cries. It's very sweet to watch him try to make his brother feel better using a song that always made him feel better.
-Bonnie Esau-Spellman, Hampton Bays
"The Little Dutch Boy," by Johnny Verbeck. From my grandmother to my grandchildren!
-Peggy Vandoran
"Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." Now my daughter sings it to her sons.
-Carol Kosark Southard
"Singin' in the Rain." When my nephew (now 8) was a baby he would settle to a dancing bunny that sang that song ... So we always used it for him. Now that I have my own ... I just started singing it one day. It was funny!
-Maria Lazzinnaro-Condello, New Hyde Park
"My Dad used to sing "Goodnight Sweetheart," by the Platters, to my sister and I.
-Julia Miller, Port Jefferson Station
"Scarlet Ribbons," which was composed in 1949 by Evelyn Danzig in her Port Washington living room. She was also my great aunt. It has been recorded by many artists over the years including Willie Nelson, Harry Belafonte, Joan Baez, Michael Crawford, Sinead O'Connor, The Cats and The Kingston Trio.
-Rich Klein
"You Are My Sunshine" is our favorite. Our grandchildren sang this song at our 50th anniversary!
-Ethel Ruggiero, Medford
We named our son Sean because of the song "Beautiful Boy." So that's his lullaby.

-Kristi Jones Duda
"Tomorrow" from "Annie." And, "Row, Row, Row Your Boat."
-Amy Lindstrom Marino
"You Are My Sunshine," "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" and "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" (and she tickles her fingers on my palm like she is the spider), and "Rock-a-Bye Baby." Then when those run out, we just randomly bust into a song. She also likes when her sister sings "Edelweiss."
-Cynthia Whittemore, originally from Baldwin
The classics
"Somewhere Over the Rainbow"
-Claudia Kilarjian Muller
"The Rainbow Connection" from the Muppet Show

"You Are So Beautiful!" I sing this to my daughter. I was never told this growing up and wanted her to know that she is so beautiful to me.
-Maria Gonzalez-Prescod
Don't ask me why but I sang that song "Goodnight Sweetheart" from "Three Men and a Baby" every single night for 21 months, to be exact. To boot, last month we heard it on the radio for the first time and we both looked at each other. My babe said to me, "Mama. No night-night."
-Nancy T. Olecki
"You're the Love of My Life" from Carly Simon
Julia Mantovi Moschitta, Cold Spring Harbor

-Ken Norman, Carle Place
"Silent Night"
Michele Dugan, West Islip
The unexpected
When Gavin, now 17 months, was still in the womb, my ring tone was "New York" by Alicia Keys. Whenever we sing that to him, he falls right to sleep.
-Joe Forte, Grand Forks, N.D., originally from Kings Park
It's not really a lullaby, but my 5-month-old always stops crying when we sing "Mother Gooney Bird."
-Jennifer Given Leary,
"Beautiful Boy" by John Lennon for my son, Sean, and "My Girl" for my daughter, Samantha.
-Joann Filoseta-Verneuille
I used to sing "Wee Willie Winkie" to my daughter!
-Karen Ring Mascio, Bethpage
When my daughter was just weeks old, she was having a fit in the car. "Piano Man" came on the radio, and I sang along to it. It's now the one sure thing to get her to calm down and fall asleep when all else fails. I guess that even though we moved from LI to N.C., my little one is a Long Island girl at heart.
-Kimberly Guardino Morgan
"Little Guitars" by Van Halen
-Christopher Gawarecki
"Baby Mine" from Dumbo.
-Kathy Paulson, Port Jefferson Station

"My Favorite Things" for both my now-adult kids.
Mike Reilly, @globalwriter1
I broke out the real stuff we sang, like "Baby Got Back," "Highway to Hell" and "My Baby Does the Hanky Panky." I sang the goofiest stuff to my kids. The words didn't matter, it was the intonation and the rocking or dancing that worked.
-Mary McClain
"You and Me Against The World," by Helen Reddy, to my son.
-Diane Brooks
And ... whatever works!
None worked. Drove my daughter around the block in the car!

Disney has announced a slew of release date changes. Briefly:
- The Muppets 2 will be released on March 21, 2014.
- Maleficent has been pushed back from March 14, 2014 to July 2.
- 1952, director Brad Bird's collaboration with screenwriter Damon Lindelof, will hit theaters in 3D on December 19, 2014.
- Pirates of the Caribbean 5 has been given a July 10, 2015 release date.
- The 3D re-release of The Little Mermaid on September 13, 2013 has been removed from the schedule.
- Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy will be released in 3D.
Hit the jump for more details, including the confirmation of George Clooney in 1952 and Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean 5. [Update: Brad Bird has now stated via Twitter that 3D has not been discussed for 1952, so Disney's press release may have been mistaken. This doesn't mean the film absolutely won't be in 3D, just that Bird hasn't OK'd it yet.]
The biggest news from this Disney update is the release date for Pirates 5. We recently learned that the Mouse House has hired Jeff Nathanson (Catch Me If You Can) to pen the script for the sequel, but one assumes they already have a pretty solid outline in place if they're ready to commit to a release date. No director is currently attached, but On Stranger Tides helmer Rob Marshall has said in the past that he would like to return.
Johnny Depp is the anchor for this franchise and Disney confirms that he will indeed be back as Captain Jack, but solid details are few and far between at this point. What is clear is that, if all goes according to plan (Avengers 2, Star Wars 7, and Justice League), 2015 will be one hell of a year for movies.
The other big news is that director Brad Bird's mysterious sci-fi project 1952 has a solid release date, it'll be in 3D, and George Clooney is confirmed to star. Details on the film are essentially non-existent at this point, but we know that Bird and Damon Lindelof's script is based on an original idea and Clooney is set to star in the lead role. Lindelof recently told Steve that they hope to begin production this coming March, so the Christmas 2014 release date makes sense.
Also of note, the upcoming sequel to The Muppets will hit theaters on March 21, 2014. Tina Fey, Ricky Gervais, and Ty Burrell star in the follow-up from director James Bobin, who co-wrote the script with The Muppets scribe Nicholas Stoller. The story moves to Europe and has been described as a caper. The pic now opens opposite Summit's teen-geared adventure pic Divergent.
The Angelina Jolie-fronted Maleficent has been pushed back slightly from March 2014 to July 2nd. The big budget story of the titular villain now has the Fourth of July weekend all to itself. Also, the news that Marvel's Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy will be released in 3D is not exactly a shock, as all of the studio's most recent films have also hit theaters in the format.
Finally, it appears that the box office disappointments of recent 3D re-releases Monsters Inc. and Finding Nemo have put a stake in that trend, as Disney will no longer be re-releasing The Little Mermaid in three dimensions.
