Deathstroke Makes His Much-Anticipated Debut In The Latest 'Arrow' Flashbacks (VIDEO)

In an episode that saw Oliver Queen facing criminal charges for being the vigilante called "Arrow," the flashback sequences to the island introduced another fan-favorite DC Comics character. Ollie admitted that he'd been tortured while on the island, and the flashbacks revealed that it was at the hands of none other than Deathstroke.

Thanks to Ollie recruiting his bodyguard Diggle into his crusade, he was able to get those charges dropped. While he was under house arrest, and throwing a huge party, Diggle donned the hood to take on some gun smugglers across town. Enough witnesses placed Arrow at that scene to free Oliver of suspicion.

Except for Detective Lance, though, who will probably never stop suspecting that Oliver is the vigilante terrorizing the criminals of Starling City.

As for Deathstroke, Oliver managed to escape -- with a little help from his mysterious island friend -- but it seems inevitable their paths will cross again. Maybe Deathstroke will visit Oliver in Arrow's home turf.

Keep up with the abs and the action on "Arrow" on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.

Total Recall: Daniel Craig's Best Movies

We count down the best-reviewed work of the Skyfall star.

There aren't many actors who have the depth and sensitivity to carry indie fare and enough charisma to lead a blockbuster franchise, but with one foot in the art house and the other firmly planted at the multiplex, Daniel Craig is one star who can have his Layer Cake and eat it too. With his third Bond outing, Skyfall, arriving in theaters this weekend, we decided now would be the perfect time to take another look at some of his critical highlights, Total Recall style!

Before we begin, it bears mentioning that Craig's filmography is dotted with a handful of brief appearances and cameo roles -- including parts in 2005's Fateless (92 percent) and 1998's Elizabeth (81 percent), both of which are well worth checking out, but were left off our list in an effort to focus on more Craig-centric pictures. So now let's see what did make the cut...

Given its minuscule theatrical tally and middling reviews, it wouldn't be surprising if you'd never heard of Enduring Love, but it came with a terrific cast and a stellar literary pedigree. Adapted by screenwriter Joe Penhall from the 1997 novel by Ian McEwan and led by performances from Craig, Rhys Ifans, Samantha Morton, and Bill Nighy, the big-screen Love looked like an awards season contender on paper. Ultimately, however, most viewers ignored it -- and most critics felt the book's slowly unraveling mystery was ill-served by director Roger Michell (the Philadelphia Inquirer's Carrie Rickey said he didn't adapt it so much as "eviscerate it and wave its entrails before the audience"). But it was a favorite of scribes such as Stephen Hunter of the Washington Post, who praised it as "the best kind of movie: so alive in its storytelling that only in retrospect do you realize that the ideas represent a metaphysical inquiry."

After Casino Royale breathed new life into the Bond franchise, expectations were high for the follow-up, 2008's Quantum of Solace -- especially considering that its story picked up immediately where Royale left off. Quantum never really reached its predecessor's heights -- critically or commercially -- but it's still a solid entry in the venerable series, and it found Craig really growing into the role, as pointed out by Ben Lyons of At the Movies: "While charm and a quick wit made Connery the best of the Bonds, it's Craig's brute force and Jackie Chan-style stunts that will come to define this latest reincarnation."

72%

A year after Philip Seymour Hoffman won an Oscar for his work in Capote, writer/director Douglas McGrath brought his own Truman Capote biopic to the big screen -- and while it certainly suffered in comparison to its critically lauded predecessor, Infamous had plenty to offer in its own right, including the charged chemistry between Toby Jones (who played Capote) and Daniel Craig (playing Perry Smith, the convicted murderer who developed a complicated relationship with Capote). As Colin Covert put it for the Minneapolis Star Tribune, "Far from vanishing in its predecessor's wake, Infamous demonstrates how a potent story can inspire distinctly different interpretations."

---

75%

Craig reunited with his Munich director, Steven Spielberg, for The Adventures of Tintin, the first installment in a planned trilogy of 3D motion capture computer-animated adaptations of the iconic comic series by famed Belgian artist Herg?. Playing the villainous Ivan Ivanovitch Sakharine (as well as his ancestor, Red Rackham), Craig joined an ensemble cast that included Nick Frost, Simon Pegg, Jamie Bell, and -- of course -- Andy Serkis. Tintin faced an uphill climb with American audiences unfamiliar with the comics, but it scored a solid hit with critics like Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times, who urged readers to "Think of The Adventures of Tintin as a song of innocence and experience, able to combine a sweet sense of childlike wonder and pureness of heart with the most worldly and sophisticated of modern technology."

---

77%

One of the more unusual -- and lesser-known -- entries in Craig's filmography, 2003's The Mother is the story of a British grandmother (played by Anne Reid) who finds her life turned upside down after her husband suddenly passes away -- and copes with it by starting an affair with a handyman (played by Craig) who also happens to be her son's best friend and her daughter's boyfriend. Though it never made much of a commercial splash beyond its limited release run, The Mother gave Craig an opportunity to play a decidedly different character, and it impressed critics like Philip Wuntch of the Dallas Morning News, who wrote, "It neither reassures nor insults its audience. These days, a film that doesn't insult your intelligence is absolutely refreshing."

(AP Photo/LM Otero)

NEW YORK (AP) ? The bad news just keeps piling on at J.C. Penney Co.

The chain on Friday reported a third-quarter loss that's much wider than Wall Street expected on revenue that plunged 26 percent in the latest sign that customers aren't happy that the department-store chain ditched hundreds of coupons and big sales it offered each year in favor of everyday low pricing. It's the third consecutive quarter of losses and steep sales declines that Penney has reported since the change.

The results underscore the challenges Penney's CEO Ron Johnson, the former Apple Inc. executive who came on board a year ago, faces as he attempts to change the way people shop. Under Johnson, Penney has been changing everything from its merchandise to its stores. But the centerpiece of his strategy has been to tweak pricing, with the goal of weaning deal-addicted customers off of the kind of heavy discounting that eats away at a retailer's profits.

But customers have not embraced Penney's pricing plan, which it rolled out on Feb. 1. To be sure, during the third quarter, revenue at stores opened at least a year ? a key measure in the retail industry because it excludes the impact from stores opened and closed during the year ? plummeted 26.1 percent. That's higher than the 17.6-percent drop analysts had been expecting.

"I expected horrific but this was worse than expected," said Brian Sozzi, a chief equities analyst for research firm NBG Productions.

During an investor meeting, held on Friday in New York following the results, Johnson said even though the quarter was challenging, he would not stray from the pricing plan he laid out earlier in the year.

"It is becoming clear to me that I am really leading two companies," he said. "One is J.C. Penney, a promotional department store. The other is JCP, which is a startup, a specialty department store. And it turns out what is good for one isn't necessarily good for the other."

Part of the problem, both the company and analysts agree, has been that customers have been confused by the pricing. Recognizing this, the company tweaked its ads to better communicate the plan. Rather than whimsical ads with dogs and children, the new ads have focused more on the merchandise Penney has to offer.

But that wasn't enough to convince shoppers. So Johnson said on Friday that Penney now will begin to display on price tags the "suggested" price from clothing and other manufacturers along with Penney's "everyday" price.

Johnson also said that company will have a big sale on the day after Thanksgiving known as Black Friday ? the traditional start of the holiday shopping season. The company expects to release details on Monday.

In addition to those things, Johnson is hoping other aspects of his plan will resonate with consumers.

Among them, the remake of Penney's stores. The company is adding 10 mini-shops with various designers within in stores. The company plans to add 100 shops inside 700 of its 1,100 stores by late 2014. The remaining 400 stores are in small towns and won't feature the full makeover.

Surrounding those shops will be extra-wide aisles that Johnson calls "streets." Along those pathways will be ice cream and coffee bars and wood tables with built-in iPad tablet computers shoppers can use. In the middle of it all, a Town Square will offer activities like Pilates.

Johnson said in September that he's encouraged by sales at the new shops, which are faring better than the rest of the stores. But Penney still has a long way to go toward revamping its business.

The retailer, based in Plano, Texas, said it lost 56 cents per share, or $123 million in the quarter ended Oct. 27. That compares with a loss of $143 million, or 67 cents per share, in the year ago period when results were dragged down by costs related to the management transition and a voluntary retirement program. Revenue dropped 26.6 percent to $2.93 billion in the quarter. Analysts had expected a 15 cent loss on revenue of $3.27 billion.

On the news, Penney shares fell more than 4 percent, or 90 cents, to $20.79. Investors, who initially sent Penney shares soaring 24 percent to about $43 after the company announced the pricing plan in late January, have pushed them down nearly 40 percent since the beginning of the year.

Good Crisis Management Has Mitigated Sandy's Impact - Lauren ...

by Lauren Stiller Rikleen??|?? 3:43 PM November 2, 2012

Prior to Sandy's landfall, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie had brutally attacked President Obama's leadership credentials in his keynote address at the Republican convention. And President Obama was focused on his re-election campaign, increasingly attacking Republican positions. But a crisis makes strange bedfellows, and this week, these political enemies together toured the damage, comforted victims, and publicly thanked each other for their leadership and help.

In the aftermath, pundits sneered at the so-called "bromance" between the Governor and the President. But overcoming differences is a form of grown-up behavior that has been missing in a number of very public and vitally important crises that affect government and business.

All leaders are challenged by crisis. Here are four additional things Obama and Christie have done to mitigate Sandy's impact that too many leaders caught up in a crisis overlook:

1. Communicate immediately and clearly. During the storm, the President was calling governors and other officials in affected states to stress the administration's support and to hear about their needs. He communicated to the American public and ensured the availability of information about first responders, the number of FEMA officials deployed to the field, where and how to file claims, and other facts that, in the past, often took much longer to learn. Compare this with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina when, for nearly five days, thousands remained stranded as federal, state, and local authorities fought over jurisdiction, response measures, and resources ? or consider the poor response by Japanese leaders in the aftermath of the tsunami and resulting nuclear disaster.

2. Directly assess the impact. By touring some of the hardest hit areas, the President and the Governor were able to personally witness the physical scale of the calamity and the human toll. Written reports to leaders are not an adequate substitute for first-hand observations. Imagine how Penn State would have handled their sexual abuse crisis differently had senior officials sought out ? and empathized with ? the victims.

3. Establish and communicate clear expectations for your workforce. The President directed federal employees to return all calls within 15 minutes. He also ordered them to figure out how to say "yes" instead of "no" to requests for aid, even though "no" is often the default response since "yes" often requires going out on a limb. Giving clear directives like that is critical in any large bureaucracy ? be it government, business, or an academic institution. Decades after the Challenger explosion, it is still haunting to consider whether clearer communications could have prevented that tragedy.

4. Set priorities among conflicting demands. Consider the demands on both the President and the Governor a week before the presidential election. Each hour of the closing days of the campaign are critical, and the clamor for the candidates ? and their surrogates ? to race through swing states is intense. There is no doubt that both were urged to seize the moment to gain partisan advantage. They both chose to focus in a clear-eyed way on disaster relief, and in so doing, demonstrated bipartisanship to a nation desperate for their leaders to act like grown-ups. Contrast their actions with those of then-BP CEO Tony Hayward, who seemed more focused on shifting the blame than on capping the well.

Governor Christie's response to those who criticized his outspoken appreciation of the President's support was both characteristic and telling: "If you think right now I give a damn about presidential politics then you don't know me." What the country needs now is for this response to serve not as an isolated incident of bipartisanship, but as a blueprint for moving the country out of gridlock.

NEVER WASN'T Never Wasn't music review by kev ... - Prog Archives

From what I can see this 2008 album was the only release from this American outfit, and the website doesn't appear to have been updated for some time so I'm not sure if they're still active or not. Anyway, what we have here is an album that could easily have been released some thirty years earlier as this is late Seventies 'prog' for Americans who feel that bands like Styx and Angel are the pinnacle of that genre. When I first heard this I had to check the release date, as even the artwork could be from that period, but I don't want to give the impression that this is a bad album because of that; it's average not due to the feeling of being in the past, but because there are times when it just isn't as good as it could be.

Ronny Lapine mostly has a strong vocal style, but there are times when he goes a little off-key or doesn't seem able to hold the long notes, which does somewhat detract to the overall feel. But incredibly there are times when he hits loud and clear which makes me wonder if the recording sessions weren't as long as they might have wished and that they weren't able to capture all the best takes. There are hints here and there of Yes, and at times of Saga, but mostly this is an American rock album that has will find some fans. I'm just not one of them. www.1russ.us

What is the Liverpool Care Pathway? ? Peace and Freedom

There have been several recent news stories about the Liverpool Care Pathway ? a programme for delivering palliative care to people with a terminal illness.

For example, the Daily Mail described the Liverpool Care Pathway as a ?death pathway? and called it a ?scandal?, claiming that patients are being put on it without the consent of relatives. In another story this week, The Daily Telegraph said that NHS hospitals are being given financial rewards for placing terminally ill patients on a ?controversial pathway to death?. BBC News, meanwhile, has reported a claim by one family that withdrawing food and water amounted to ?torture?.

The Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP) is a scheme that is intended to improve the quality of care in the final hours or days of a patient?s life, and to ensure a peaceful and comfortable death. It aims to guide doctors, nurses and other health workers looking after someone who is dying on issues such as the appropriate time to remove tubes providing food and fluid, or when to stop medication.

However, its use for some has become controversial, with relatives reportedly claiming it has been used without consent, and some saying it is used inappropriately.

This criticism and the media emphasis on the supposed controversy is puzzling, as the LCP has been standard practice in most hospitals for a number of years. The LCP has also received recognition on both a national and international level as an example of good practice.

While there have been allegations of individual failings on the part of healthcare professionals ? mainly relating to a lack of communication with relatives and carers ? the model of care itself appears to be both appropriate and humane.

Many of the media stories about the LCP seem to be criticising its stated aim ? to allow terminally ill patients with no hope of a cure to die with dignity.

As a GP put it in the British Medical Journal, the LCP ?has transformed end of life care from an undignified, painful experience into a peaceful, dignified death at home?.

?

What is the Liverpool Care Pathway?

The LCP was developed during the late 1990s at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital, in conjunction with the Marie Curie Palliative Care Institute. It was intended to provide the best quality of care possible for dying patients in the last hours and days of life, whether they were in hospital, at home, in a care home or in a hospice. It was widely seen as a way of transferring the model of ?excellence? in the care provided in hospices to other healthcare settings such as hospitals and care homes.

What is palliative care?

Palliative care is medical treatment designed to make people with terminal illness feel as comfortable as possible ? both physically and emotionally. It can be used to relieve symptoms but not cure a condition.

The goal of the LCP is to ensure a death is as dignified and as peaceful as possible. It may involve, for example, reviews of:

• whether any further medications and tests (such as taking the patient?s temperature or blood pressure) would be helpful
• how to keep the patient as comfortable as possible, for example, by adjusting their position in bed or providing regular mouth care (some illnesses or treatments can cause over- or underproduction of saliva)
• whether artificial fluids should be given, when a patient has stopped being able to eat or drink
• the patient?s spiritual or religious needs

According to the Marie Curie Palliative Care Institute, the LCP can ?guide the delivery of care for the dying to complement the skill and expertise of the practitioner using it ? the goals of care prompt staff to consider the continued need for invasive procedures and whether current medications really are conferring benefit?.

The LCP is recommended as a model of best practice by the Department of Health and has been adopted in many UK hospitals and other healthcare settings. Deborah Murphy, a national nurse lead for the LCP, calls it ?a process that inspires, motivates and truly empowers the generic workforce in caring for the patient and their family in the last hours or days of life?.

?

Why was the Liverpool Care Pathway introduced?

The LCP was introduced because, during the 1990s, there was an increasing consensus in the UK medical community that standards of end-of-life care were patchy. Some hospices provided excellent treatment, but some hospitals did not meet the same standards. In particular, concerns were expressed about issues such as:

• patients being subjected to invasive testing and treatment that offered no chance of preventing death
• causing unnecessary pain and suffering by needlessly prolonging life

?

Why has it been controversial?

According to newspaper reports, several families have complained about use of the care pathway. Some relatives have claimed that their loved ones were put on the pathway without their consent and some have said it has hastened death in relatives who were not dying imminently. Critics say that it is impossible for doctors to predict when death is imminent, so the decision to put a patient on the pathway is at worst self-fulfilling.

It would be inappropriate to comment on individual cases. If there were failings, as has been alleged, it could be that these were the result of professionals not following the recommendations of the LCP, rather than faults with the LCP itself. For example, the LCP recommendations make it very clear that:

• while legal consent is not required to place a patient on the LCP, the fact that the plan is being considered should always be discussed with a relative or carer and, if possible, the patient themselves
• there should never be an occasion when a relative or carer who is named as the main contact is not informed when a diagnosis that the person is dying has been made
• withdrawal of nutrition and fluids should never be a routine option, but done only if it is felt to be in the best interests of the patient, judged on a case-by-case basis

The media has also reported that use of the pathway is being encouraged for financial reasons, linked to targets. The Daily Telegraph reports that almost two-thirds of NHS trusts using the LCP have received ?payouts? totalling millions of pounds for hitting targets related to its use. While these financial incentives do exist, they are designed to support the implementation of better care. It is disappointing to see the level of cynicism in this story, with the unspoken ? and hardly credible?? implication that doctors and nurses would routinely hasten patients? deaths so that their hospital would make money.

?

What about people who have survived the Liverpool Care Pathway?

There have been reports,?including in the Daily Mail, that people have ?survived? the Liverpool Care Pathway. It is cause for celebration that someone who was believed by health professionals to be dying has survived. Indeed, guidance for health workers on the LCP states: ?Uncertainty is an integral part of dying. There are occasions when a patient who is thought to be dying lives longer than expected and vice versa. A second opinion or the support of a palliative care team may be required?.

?

What do health professionals think?

The LCP has been praised by many doctors for its aim to make life for those who are imminently dying as comfortable as possible, rather than using artificial efforts to prolong life. A recent article by a GP in the British Medical Journal argued that the pathway had ?transformed? end-of-life care and offered a ?good death? when used properly.

?

What does the Department of Health say?

The Independent reports that the Department of Health says that it doesn?t provide direct financial incentives for trusts to use the LCP. However, local areas may choose to have these in place.

A Department of Health spokesman told the Independent: ?The LCP is supported by more than 20 leading organisations, including Marie Curie Cancer Care and Age UK, as a way to help meet the care and dignity needs for those who are at the end of their life.

?We are clear the LCP can only work if each patient is fully consulted, where this is feasible, and their family involved in all aspects of decision-making. Staff must properly communicate with the patient and their family?? any failure to do so is unacceptable.?

?

What happens now?

In the media, it has been?reported that there is to be an ?investigation?. In fact, the NHS National End of Life Care Programme has announced it will co-ordinate new projects ? in conjunction with several other medical organisations ? for staff training and communications around the LCP. Staff communication with patients and their families is key at the sensitive time around death and, indeed, this appears to be where some of the alleged problems caused by the pathway have emerged.

?

How can I have a say about my end of life care?

Those with a terminal illness or approaching the end of life may wish to think in advance about plans for the future of their care. This is sometimes called advance care planning and involves thinking and talking about your wishes about how you are cared for in your final months. Read more about?planning for end of life care.

You can write down your wishes in what is called an??advance decision?, sometimes known as an advance decision to refuse treatment (ADRT) or a living will. This is a decision you can make now to refuse a specific type of treatment at some time in the future. It lets your family, carers and health professionals know whether you want to refuse specific treatments in the future. This is so that they will know your wishes if you are unable to make or communicate those decisions yourself.

If you have a relative who is terminally ill you should?? where feasible?? be consulted and kept informed about the plan of care, including use of the Liverpool Care Pathway. Health staff should also check with families that they understand the LCP.
