Medieval Castle Damaged By Fire
The worst fire in recent years has badly damaged Riga Castle, the medieval fortress that is also the official residence of the Latvian president. President Berzims described the fire as a national disaster as the castle also houses the National Museum.
The biggest damage was done to the depositories of the local history museum, as well as the museum of literature and music. Part of the exhibits were protected, and about a hundred of the most valuable items were moved to a safe place. Latvia's Minister of Culture Janeta Jaunzeme-Grende personally took part in the rescue operations.
The fire broke out late on Thursday and ripped through the roof and the attic, according to the Baltic News Service.
A spokeswoman for the State Fire and Rescue Service, Viktorija Sembele, confirmed that the overnight blaze damaged the roof and the second and third floors of the castle
There have been no reports of injuries. One firefighter was treated for smoke inhalation.
Sembele said some valuable relics in the museum suffered water damage, none were destroyed, however.
Latvia's President, Andris Berzins was not staying at the castle, as the historic building is currently being renovated.
Local authorities mobilized ten fire crews to tackle the blaze.

December 19, 2014
CHICAGO (AP) -- Organizers say they expect tens of thousands of demonstrators to turn out for today's immigration rights protest in Chicago.
Rally organizer Jorge Mujica says he's confident at least 100-thousand protesters will participate this afternoon.
He and other organizers began gathering this morning at Union Park, where demonstrators began arriving -- many carrying American flags.
Mujica says the main message they want to convey is that Washington needs to get serious about immigration reform. Another rallying cry will be for federal authorities to stop raids and deportations.
Mujica adds that preparations for today's rally are going smoothly. He says that includes good cooperation with police and city authorities.

Encompass Fund (ENCPX) Ranks Among Top Mutual Fund Performers For Two Consecutive Years; Investors Gain Access To Growth-Oriented Investments Including Rare Earths And Uranium
The Encompass Fund's focus on global resource companies exploring for and producing commodities like uranium, rare earth elements, copper, and gold helped launch it to the top of Morningstar's charts once again last year. And in spite of its strategy to diversify risk by investing in a wide variety of sectors including healthcare and real estate, while keeping a portion of assets in cash, this go-anywhere fund has ranked among the top five of all mutual funds tracked by Morningstar for two consecutive years.
As of December 31, 2010, the Encompass Fund (ENCPX) www.encompassfund.com had returned 60.0% for the year. It was Morningstar's top performing International fund (out of 3,362 funds) as well as #1 in the World Stock Fund category (of 843 funds). It ranked second in performance out of all 15,724 funds tracked for 2010. The Fund is benchmarked against the Wilshire 5000 Index, which gained 17.2% in 2010. Encompass has averaged annual returns of 10.04% since inception.*
The Encompass Fund invests in companies of all sizes, from micro-cap to large cap, in a number of diverse sectors and operating in all parts of the world, including Mongolia, Mali, Burkina Faso, and Cuba. The managers have emphasized commodity and health care companies since the fund's inception in June 2006.
Veteran wealth managers Malcolm Gissen and Marshall Berol of Malcolm H. Gissen & Associates, Inc., created the Encompass Fund to provide investors access to typically undiscovered investment opportunities in sectors and companies that promise significant future growth."We continue to find undervalued resource and health care companies with exceptional upside potential," commented Malcolm Gissen who co-manages the fund with Marshall Berol. "We think that a number of these companies have the potential to double or triple in price over the next 1–3 years because we foresee higher prices for many commodities over the next 12–18 months."

WotC SUES EIGHT FOR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT
5 Years, 8 Months ago
April 6, 2009 — Wizards of the Coast LLC today filed three lawsuits in US District Court for the Western District of Washington against eight individuals, including named defendants located in the United States, Poland and the Philippines, for copyright infringement of its recently-released Dungeons & Dragons® Player's Handbook® 2. The lawsuits allege that the defendants illegally distributed the Player's Handbook 2 via free file-sharing websites and that these illicit uploads resulted in a substantial number of lost sales and lost revenue to Wizards of the Coast.
"Violations of our copyrights and piracy of our products hurt not only Wizards of the Coast's financial health but also the health of whole gaming community including retailers and players," said Greg Leeds, President of Wizards of the Coast. "We have brought these suits to stop the illegal activities of these defendants, and to deter future unauthorized and unlawful file-sharing."
The complaint alleges, among other things, that one or more of the defendants purchased digital copies of Player's Handbook 2 and then illegally posted the copies onto popular file-sharing sites for free access and download by the general public.

Not sure where this fits in. I got <12 hours to download bought stuff - probably less - was already past midnight here so only the time difference (well - nothing outstanding). It hit my inbox today 1:14 AM.
Dear Jens,

WotC Ends PDF Download Sales
Citing Piracy
Published: 04/06/2009 10:09pm
Wizards of the Coast has ended sales of PDF editions of its products, which had been sold by online retailers such as DrivethroughRPG.com, RPGNow.com, and Paizo.com. A Wizards of the Coast spokesperson told ICv2, "Unfortunately, due to recent findings of illegal copying and online distribution (piracy) of our products, Wizards of the Coast has decided to cease the sale of online PDFs."
Wizards of the Coast also filed suit against eight defendants on Thursday, alleging illegal file-sharing (see "Wizards Sues Eight").
Wizards of the Coast's products were a very important driver of PDF RPG sales, a segment that some participants believe is over 20% of total RPG sales.
WotC is apparently not ruling out digital delivery of its products using a different format or model. "We are exploring other options for digital distribution of our content," the spokesperson said.

Honestly, I'm not surprised that WotC had to do this. Piracy is rampant in the gaming world, and too many people feel they have a license to steal.
It's a far cry from Jean Valjean stealing a loaf of bread to feed his starving family. It's outright theft by people that want things and don't want to pay for them.
The sad note is that legitimate distributors of PDFs have to lose out on sales because of the perfidious actions of the pirates.

Thats the typical problem of PDF Products i think, its too easy to simply
copy the pdf if you have donloaded it.
I wondered when this would happen since they made pdfs available online.
The main problem about online piracy is i think for most people it didn't fells
like stealing, cause the item is not lost by the original owner.
Sad for the honest people that bought the pdfs, hope they all downloaded
their stuff in time and have a copy handy if their PCs crashes.

Yeah, this is a tricky area. On the one hand, people can always scan the material and create their own .pdf's if they want to do this, so there's no real way to stop the problem. On the other hand, selling the .pdf's themselves just makes it that much easier for potential thieves, taking some of the grunt work out of their task. On the third hand, the digital age makes copyright protection all the more challenging for things like books which lend themselves to instant free transfer -- maybe there is no solution. On the fourth hand, trying to use the technology does make sense, rather than trying to fight it, and kudos to WOTC for trying that by selling things as .pdf's. On the fifth hand, that's not a particularly innovative way to respond to the new market, and may have done nothing other than facilitate infringement.
I'm long since out of hands.

Maybe this is just an excuse for WOTC to set up their own on-line pdf store through D&DI and force people to subscribe to even be able to buy anything? I'm not saying WOTC doesn't have the right to protect themselves from piracy or do what they want with "their" products, but this smells too much like what they did with all their licenses (Dragon, Dungeon, Dragonlance, d20, etc) right before 4e came out. Pulling back all the tentacles into the mothership (as some have suggested on other message boards) before they............?

It might be an Excusse but Just from my play group (and tangental ones), I know how many sales have been lost to Stolen PDFs. While I have purchased PDFs from places like the Game Mechanics and others there are/& were players in our group (and ones we knew people in) who
purchased pdfs or even the Hardcopy books for that matter and would go looking for the pdfs as soon as the book came out.
I'd love it if I could buy PDF versions of all of the SAGA books, as then I could put them on a JUMP drive and look over them while I am planning my games during my lunch break at work. There are now about 6 books out for SAGA and I can't cart them all to work or even to the game. So having a refrence to look at would be great.
But as some one who shelled out the $35+ dollars or so for the Hardcopy, to have to buy it again isn't something I willdo, I'm not going to buy the book 3 times (as so far for all but two I have purchased the book twice once for Home/collection (they joined my almost complete collection of WEG D6 books) and the other left at where we play for refrence and so I don't have to bring them each week. Buying the book a thrid time is a very significant investment.
But with 3rd (and for SW-RCR)I know there were players in the goup who never bought the books from WotC and wanted the PDF.s for them instead as they were "free". They wanted the content but didn't want to pay for it. I have apolicy in my game of you need to OWN the book.
If you have a PDF to print the pages so you don't have to lug the book around with you every session I don't care, but you have to OWN the book first, and I got to see it, or you can't use it. (if you bought the PDf That's fine as well but most people I game with prefer books as there is somehting about flipping throught them that is so much more satasfying than reading a PDF on screen).
With 4th I know the PDF caused 6 lost sales of the three core books, as we all looked at them, and passed on the game with out buying it (so they are lost but we could have chipped in or just flipped through it as well and they would have been lost a lot fo sales, for our group the game caused the loss of sales, the PDF just allowed us to go yeah we don't like this before it came out. However I know I didn't keep nor use the 4th ed PDF's. I deleted them after deciding I didn't like the game, but I know about 6 people who did keep them though, and 4 or so of them never purchased the Core books, and they grabbed the PHBII right when it came out from those File shares, with out buying the books) So this does have an impact on sales.
I don't know if it's a generation thing, as I saw many Younger kids in the game store we used to play at that would pass around CD's of the latest books they had downloaded. Even people just 8 years my journior see no problem in useing PDFs with out buying the book. I like the PDF format for easy refrence and portability, and would love to see them sold with the purchase of the hardbacks So i can have both legally. But i won't buy the PDF's after I bought the Harback (as I don't have the cash), so I don't buy WotC pdfs. i have however purchased many many others (from WWG, Ebbles, the Game Mecahnics, Green Ronnin, Paizo and various other 3rd party publishers I can't remember, I'd have to go look through my RPGnow account and see the list of all the ones i bought) but that was the purchase of the book, or item and it was usually one of the only was to get it. Paizo is pretty good about that though as they tend to give out PDF's with some of the physical purchases.

WotC SUES EIGHT FOR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT
5 Years, 8 Months ago
Ghengis Ska
I think the problem with pdf-files today is similar to the problem with photocopied books 25 years ago. It is wrong and I always strifed to buy the games I played. But I remember that copied books were widespread in the gaming groups I played with 25 years ago. Actually - to make it worse - most people tended to give it to a parent who could copy it 'for free' at work as copying lots of pages wasn't cheap either.
I can see two issues here:
a) The electronic age makes it sooo much easier to copy a pdf. You don't even need the original paid book - you just google on some peer-to-peer networks and you get what you look for.
b) Some people still like pdf-copies. Either because they prefer this medium - or because some old books are out of print. The module I bought was the Temple of Elemental Evil - a very old classic for which I didn't bother to watch e-bay for a reasonable priced copy
Stopping the sale of pdf won't stop a). After all - my pdf has my own name included. Not sure how much work it would be to remove it - but a watermark is traceable back to me if I share the file. Therefore if I want to distribute pirated material and go through the effort to remove watermarks I probably can as well find alternative ways to get the first electronic copy.
And once there is a single copy in distribution, then the genii is out of the flask and you will never get it back in again.
But what WoTC did is mainly hurting the people who are willing to pay for pdf - not the people who pirate material. Looking at the public relations desaster in which music companies got themselves this is suprising.
Going after people distributing the pdf in peer to peer - fine with me. Preventing me to buy the files legally - I'm not pleased. I already had (jokingly) an offer at lunch that someone could organize me the books I'm interested in. Well - this is exactly what I don't want.
Well - their loss.
For the very first time I actually thought about looking into the pathfinder system. Should I move on then this would really have been a dump move. I own probably 20+ 3rd edition books from WoTC and I'm a customer who still can afford to buy stuff.

Perhaps they could include an access code with the book purchase to allow for a one-time PDF download of the item. Secure to prevent vandalism / theft of the code.
I don't know much (anything) about PDF security, though. Is there a way to make the file un-copiable or to self-disable if copied or printed more than once or twice ?
Or they could include a disk of the PDF with the same security measures along with the book.
Eh ... just thinking "out loud", here ...

Heroes star Ali Larter (in Reem Acra) arrives for the 59th Primetime Emmy Awards Sunday, Sept. 16, 2007, at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.
I can't wait to see what Hayden's wearing. Hayden & Milo make such a cute couple.
Is that Al Gore behind her in the second picture?? O_o
Simple and elegant! I like it. LOVE hayden's is better though.
Looks amazing as usual. Would kick Hayden's ass any day of the week.
Oh, she's so beautiful and elegant!
I like the color.
Yes it must be Al Gore. He announced that he was attending…
love the dress… but her face is different… she had something done for sure
Nice dress. She can kick hayden ass anytime. has she lost weight!?
she looks amazing!
This looks like a glorified wrapped towel. Color is pretty though.
She looks beautiful. I love the simplicity. It just lets her face, which is more than beautiful enough, take the attention. As always, the most beautiful of the Heroes cast to me. This dress does make her look very thin though.
Simple and elegant. This is perfect.
Nice dress! Her dress and Kristen Bell's dress are so similar though. Is this style of dress a new trend?
Its okay. A little too simple for me
Unlike Hayden, Ali's dress is perfect. She always looks amazing!
She looks hot and classy at the same time. This is the perfect example of the woman wearing the dress, not the dress wearing the woman. Beautiful.
Amazing as always. This woman is flawless and she pulled this off perfectly. She really shined not just from the Heroes cast but at the Emmy's in general…Ali youa re made of win and GORGEOUS. Though simple, her dress was better than Hayden's IMO.
Wasn't Ali named on People's Best Dressed list? She totally deserves it, she looks old Hollywood glam. I guess at least someone had to look pretty out of the Heroes' cast. lol
This woman is naturaly beautiful! Everything she wear can just suits her!
The dress is terribly cute!
Looks BEAUTIFUL. LOVE her dress, she looks so……fresh and elegant.
perfect. not too much, just perfect.
Don't know who she is but my first impression of her (last night on the Emmy's) is that she thinks very, very highly of herself!!!!!
OMG.. she's hot!!!

Tightwad Travelers Fuel Wi-Fi Bus Wars
"I think what the Chinatown operations did in New York and Washington, they came into communities where the customer was and picked up there," Pantuso says. "That's the model you see now, where they're no longer just picking up at terminals."
In New York City, Megabus forsakes the Port Authority Bus Terminal for a curbside stop near the train routes of Penn Station. It helped Megabus increase almost double traffic between October 2007 and October 2008, with Boltbus and carriers like Washington-bound DC2NY and Vamoose following suit. While this strategy failed in Los Angeles, where Megabus ceased service last year, it has proven popular among students, vacationers and even corporate travelers in the Northeast and helped Megabus expand into 28 cities and add 4.5 million passengers a year in three years.
"We work closely with all the city officials and the department of transportation in every city we operate," says Megabus CEO Dale Moser. "We are always looking for some kind of intermodal connectivity, and that's a strategy that comes over from Europe."
Megabus has expanded its fleet of 81-passenger double-decker buses from 16 to more than 110, while a First Group spokeswoman says Greyhound introduced a fleet of 102 new buses in the Northeast this year that have not only wi-fi, but seat belts. Not to be outdone, Greyhound is sprucing up terminals with flat-screen TVs, expanded food offerings and other services. The images of derelict depots and cramped, smelly, decaying coaches is shrinking in the rearview."That stigma's faded a lot quicker than I could have imagined," Schwieterman says. "I would ride Greyhound about once every two years and my students would look at me like I was nuts." -- Reported by Jason Notte in Boston.

The MetroCard celebrated its 20th anniversary last week. But transit officials have announced that it will be going the way of the old subway token in time for its silver jubilee in 2019.
Kevin Ortiz, spokesman for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, said the cards have been an unparalleled success since their introduction, but that their time has come and gone.
"It had a dramatic impact on the system," Ortiz said in an interview on Monday. "Back in 1994 we had about 1 billion annual riders. This past year we surpassed 1.6 billion."
He said much of that is attributed to a change in 1997 that allowed a card holder to get a free transfer between bus and subway routes.
"That said, as successful as it has been, it is nearing the end of its usefulness. The technology is nearing the end of its useful life. It's becoming obsolete, and it is getting increasingly expensive to maintain."
Aside from maintenance, the printing of the cards themselves costs the MTA upward of $6 million per year.
"From an economic standpoint, we want to decrease the top costs of running such a system," Ortiz said.
He said the agency is committed to finding a system that can be integrated not only between buses and subways but with the Long Island Rail Road, MetroNorth and other regional transit systems.
Requests for proposals are scheduled to go out later tis year, with bids to be awarded sometime in 2015. Ideally, the new system would allow riders to tap one or more devices, a credit card, bank card or a smartphone that would allow money for a fare to be deducted from an account remotely.
"It's pretty common in other places in the world, like Europe," Ortiz said.
Any changes will enter the planning stages with questions, such as dealing with riders who do not have access to bank or credit cards. Many students in the city's schools also would not be old enough for a card, and not all would likely carry cell phones.
A spokeswoman for the city Department of Education said the DOE would not respond to "proposals." But the MTA said students will be accommodated.
"We're fully aware that some people don't have access to debit cards," Ortiz said. "That's all part of the development process."
Paul Fleuranges, also with the MTA, said student transportation is a basic component, but that no specifics can be charted until the platform of a new system is determined.
Ortiz also said the process would by necessity take questions of system security into account. He also said 2019 is not going to be the drop-dead end of blue-and-yellow cards with the magnetic strip.
"We certainly expect that there would be an overlap with the new system," he said. "People would have to get familiar with the service, and we would have to obtain the equipment we need."
He said it was 2003 before MetroCards were used exclusively.

Just Do Nothing
Of course, doing nothing is a misnomer, because as long as we're living and breathing, we're doing something, right? What might appear to be nothing to others may actually be doing something to the person who is doing nothing?
Take my New York experience, for example; to those busy pedestrians I probably appeared to be a lost tourist gawking at the wonders of the Big Apple. In fact, I was a fellow traveler in the stream of life who was stopping to admire the features of the city they called home. I was taking it in, enjoying the moment, possibly seeing things that they, who lived there every day, had never seen because they had never taken the time to just stop, and do nothing. Parks and rec professionals actually exist, in large part, to give people the opportunity to "just do nothing."
Passive parks and green spaces provide a "do-nothing" haven, a place for people to just pull off the busy human highway, look up and enjoy the sky and trees. Ponds, lakes, and rivers offer the same respite but with an added bonus of aquatic distractions. Paths and trails entice people to "do nothing" while they're walking.
Even active endeavors such as youth and adult sports might be considered by some to be "do-nothing" activities; they aren't school or a job, but they do take people out of their everyday routine and give them a chance to recuperate from the daily grind.
So on this Friday, here's hoping Weekenders can stop at some point during the rush of the day, side-step, pivot and plant your back against the wall. Look up and see the forest for the trees. Take a break, do nothing and recognize that you are part of something important and vital to your fellow travelers.
Sometimes, the best way to "do nothing" is to "just do it."

"This large and well-designed study used rigorous scientific methods to test ways to prevent death from lung cancer by screening patients at especially high risk," said Harold Varmus, M.D., NCI Director, in a press release issued today. "Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality in the U.S. and throughout the world, so a validated approach that can reduce lung cancer mortality by even 20 percent has the potential to spare very significant numbers of people from the ravages of this disease."
The NCI notes that the possible disadvantages of helical CT include the cumulative effects of radiation from multiple CT scans; surgical and medical complications in patients who prove not to have lung cancer but who need additional testing to make that determination; and risks from additional diagnostic work-up for findings unrelated to potential lung cancer, such as liver or kidney disease. In addition, the screening process itself can generate suspicious findings that turn out not to be cancer in the vast majority of cases, producing significant anxiety and expense. These problems must, of course, be weighed against the advantage of a significant reduction in lung cancer mortality.

An infamous Papua New Guinea cult leader known as "Black Jesus" was castrated by an angry mob after being hacked to death for killing young girls as sacrifices, reports said on Monday. Steven Tari, a convicted rapist who was suspected of cannibalism, was killed in a remote PNG village last week, with gory details of his death emerging. The National newspaper said Tari, who had been on the run since escaping from a prison in Madang in the Pacific nation's east during a mass break-out with 48 others in March, was hunted down by 80 men. It said he was killed, castrated and then dragged with a cane tied around his neck to a shallow pit where his body was dumped. The corpse was dug up by police, prison and health workers on Friday. Juith Gawi, a doctor at Modilion Hospital, said he had multiple knife wounds. "He was chopped and slashed with bush knives on both arms and legs, chest and stomach which revealed his intestines. He was also castrated," Gawi said. Tari, a failed Lutheran pastor who was widely known as Black Jesus, was found guilty in 2010 of raping girls who belonged to his Christian-based sect and sentenced to up to 10 years. At the time, he had thousands of village followers, including a core of armed warriors to protect him, in what is commonly referred to in PNG as a "cargo cult". As part of his "culture ministry", he preached that young girls were to be "married" to him as it was God's prophecy. The National said villagers where he was hiding became fed up with cult beliefs and practices, which included "the killing of young girls as sacrifices". Local police official Ray Ban said Tari and his followers offered Rose Wagum, 15, last week as a "sacrifice". She was found with stab wounds and reportedly died of blood loss. The group also tried to offer another 14-year-old girl but were stopped by the mob which eventually killed Tari. The National said Wagum's aunt was the first known "flower girl" for Tari and found young virgins for him, and it was she who took her niece to his camp to be sacrificed. Ban said at least one other girl was still missing. "Tari is dead and this cult worship dies with him," Ban said. "Stop this worship now. If I hear any more cult worship here, I will return with my men." When he was captured in 2007, there were widespread allegations that Tari's cult also practised cannibalism along with sacrificial blood rituals, but police only charged him with rape. PNG is a sprawling nation where black magic, sorcery and cannibalism sometimes occur. Last year, police arrested dozens of people linked to an alleged cannibal cult accused of killing at least seven people, eating their brains raw and making soup from their penises.

Blast from the Past: 1996 Programming FAQ
Do you remember the days of MarksMan (aka Prototyper)? AppMaker? Mac Common Lisp? Smalltalk Agents? This FAQ may bring back some memories. It's a snapshot in time from 1996, which seems like yesterday in real time but was, technologically-speaking, a million years ago. The prices for developer tools really stands out--development packages for $695, a resource editor for almost $300. Amazing, isn't it, how cheap Mac Software has become on the whole? And I'm more than a little sure that a contributing factor is that the dev tools are free now. That was something that really struck me on the way back from NeXT to Mac. On NeXT, Interface Builder and the whole GNU programming suite were included. When I returned to doing Mac development, the sky-high prices for devtools (even with student discounts) really bugged me.

Accessory Navicular Removal Surgical Process
An accessory navicular is defined as an extra bone in the foot, and oftentimes it causes moderate to severe discomfort. Depending on the severity, your doctor may recommend a non-surgical treatment to alleviate the pain, or surgery if treatment doesn't decrease symptoms. Here is an explanation of the surgical process for Accessory Navicular Removal.
Pre-surgical Care
- Follow patient-specific surgical center recommendations regarding how to prepare for surgery, anesthesia, etc.
- Before surgery you will be given regional anesthesia and Novocain-like medication to provide complete pain relief.
Surgical Care
- After the anesthesia is administered you will be heavily sedated and placed on your stomach.
- Surgeons will place a tourniquet around your thigh and an incision will be made on the inside of the foot.
- The posterior tibial tendon will be moved as necessary and the accessory navicular will be removed.
- Surgeons will repair the posterior tibial tendon with sutures or suture anchors, and the wound will be closed.
- A splint will be placed on the foot for stabilization and immobilization.
Post-surgical Care
- You will be permitted to leave the surgical center once you have been cleared by the anesthesiologist.
- Plan ahead to have a friend or family member take your prescription to a pharmacy to pick up your post-op medication.
- Use narcotic pain medications before bed or if numbness in your foot begins to dull.
- Schedule a post-op visit for 4 weeks after the procedure.
Post-surgical timeline for Accessory Navicular removal
(Consult your doctor for patient-specific post-op care as recommendations may vary. The below timeline is a general guideline for routine accessory navicular removal)
First 3-5 days
- Elevate leg for 23 hours a day for the first three days. Elevation will help reduce swelling, which may last more than 4 months.
- Move and flex your toes after the nerve block mitigates. Motion will help decrease pain and swelling.
- Use strong narcotics for pain management. Begin to use a lesser pain control medication like Motrin or Tylenol after 3-5 days.
First 2 weeks
- You can return to work after 10-14 days if your job is non-labor intense. Check with your doctor to ensure it is safe to return to work.
- Visit your clinic to have your original cast replaced after two weeks. A secondary cast will be worn for an additional 4 weeks.
Beyond 2 weeks
- Do not place weight on the foot for 6 weeks. This will give the tendon ample time to heal.
- Return to the surgical center after 6 weeks to have your secondary cast removed and a fracture boot placed on you foot. This will assist in weight bearing.
- You can return to labor-intensive work after 3 months, but speak with your doctor about your specific case and work requirements.
Further maintenance
- Do not get cast wet. Use a waterproof cast cover (such as a Drypro) to keep your cast dry during showers.
- Patients who underwent a procedure on their left foot may operate an automatic transmission vehicle within a week, but consult your surgeon about operating a vehicle when taking specific pain-management medication.
- Patients who had the procedure done on their right foot should wait until the foot has healed enough to bear weight and they feel safe operating a vehicle.
- If you experience foot pain after 3 months, consult your doctor.

Sorry to be a pest! I know this is my second question today. I have psoriatic arthritis that attacked my peroneal tendons in both feet causing tears, an accessory navicular/tibial tendon pain, and peroneal subluxation. Another possible diagnosis that's been considered was crps, but I had no sensitivity to touch, just prolonged pain and redness and swelling they thought was more likely due to the arthritis. I've been on methotrexate and enbrel and my joint pain is getting better but the tendons in my feet are still so painful I can barely walk. I had to quit school and work. I'm getting the peroneal subluxation fixed soon, but wondering if anyone knows if they can take out the accessory navicular at the same time? Does removing it help with posterior tibial tendonitis? I believe the plan right now is a groove deepening and debridement of the peroneal tendon and also getting rid of a low lying muscle belly. But I'm worried that I will have to have two surgeries on that foot because the accessory navicular/tibial tendon is so painful I can't even wear shoes that rub against that bone! Not sure which problem to address first. I'm also not sure I should even tell my surgeon about the accessory navicular pain, because I'm worried if I do, he'll get overwhelmed and won't even want to help me with the subluxation…should I bring it up? I'm worried :/

I had modified kidner procedure about 11 weeks ago. I had very little pain until about a week ago when I was released from using my walking boot. Unfortunately, my posterior tibial tendon hurts again, especially when I push off of the big toe to walk. Is this normal since the tendon had to be re-attached or should I be concerned? I am still doing PT, so hoping that helps, but certainly frustrated that I have similar pain as I did pre-surgery (with the exception of the intense pain around the navicular bone).
