CHICAGO, Nov. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- mPlexus is set to introduce DICOM RadiX, its revolutionary new software program that allows the newest automated, intelligent, instant image sharing and retrieval from medical imaging archives (PACS, VNA, etc) at this year's RSNA convention in Chicago.
Developed by a radiologist from Lafayette, IN, DICOM RadiX is the only image transfer software optimized for and tightly integrated with the mPlexus DICOM RPE enabling automated image sharing between facilities, even if those facilities are part of disparate healthcare systems. DICOM RadiX manages transfers of imaging studies intelligently and securely, regardless of geographic distance or the handling capability of receiving machines.
"Too many patients undergo repeat imaging studies because prior, relevant studies are not immediately available for review. In addition to the cost and unnecessary radiation exposure, the implications for the patient's quality of care cannot be overstated. RadiX saves time, money and potentially even lives," stated Dr. Steven Jones, President of mPlexus.
In addition to its significant time efficiency, RadiX removes much of the headache of building DICOM networks with other facilities, facilitating the ability to build and grow your own DICOM image sharing networks with a few simple clicks, eliminating the need for tracking down IT administrators to gain permission access.
Combined with the full functionality of the mPlexus DICOM RPE (http://www.mplexus.com/DICOMRPE.aspx), RadiX will also be useful in medical facilities' continued efforts toward vendor neutral and cloud archiving. RadiX overcomes the latency issues of WANs, by more aggressively and intelligently managing prefetching. RadiX may also be able to help facilities meet upcoming Stage 3 meaningful use criteria which are likely to include image sharing.
To learn more about mPlexus, visit their website at www.mplexus.com, or stop by their booth at RSNA. They will be located in the South Building in Hall A, Booth 6647.
About mPlexus
mPlexus solves problems that radiology and imaging departments face on a daily basis. Staffed by radiologists and experts in both the medical and engineering fields, mPlexus has created the first fully automated, intelligent, reliable image transfer software in the industry; software that can automatically retrieve relevant images instantly from your facility's PACS and send to any other archive or pull from any other archive and import to your PACS. It is our mission to provide cost-saving, life-saving DICOM software solutions to medical facilities everywhere.

LEWISBURG - Sometimes even the best plans go awry.
Sayre's Katherine Porter has been to states before.
The junior has been to the PIAA Championships every year of her career, reaching the 'B' final last year.
She entered this year seeded 12th in the 100 fly, hoping for a spot in the top eight that would place her in the 'A' final.
At the start things seemed good for Porter as her first 50 left her where she wanted to be.
After that something went wrong and Porter finished 22nd in 1:00.99.
"I guess it was about the middle of the race and it kind of surprised me," Porter said. "I'm not sure exactly what happened, I just was not where I wanted to be."
Porter knows it just wasn't her day on Wednesday.
"I just wasn't where I wanted to be today," she said. "That's OK, I have some stuff to fix for next year."
Despite not having the race she wanted, the Sayre junior always enjoys the chance to compete at states.
"It's a really great experience," she said.
What made this year a little more fun was having two Sayre boys, Altan Frantz and diver Sam Shoemake, also qualify for states.
"They keep it interesting," Porter said. "It's great to have two swimmers and a diver at states this year."
And, Porter hopes that maybe her senior year the Redskins can get some other girls to states as well.
"It will take a lot of work, but I hope so," she said.
Now that states is over Porter gets a short break, then it's back to training for next year.
"I will probably take a month off before I see what I need to fix," Porter said.
After Wednesday she knows there are things she can improve on to help her reach that goal of a final next year.
"The girls keep getting faster and that's great, I just have to keep working."

Second attempt at Dnb, I quite like this one. Managed to finish it faster than I've finished any song for the last 2-3 years, took only a day or so.
This is probably the first song I've ever made that's been inspired by any form of emotion, which is one of the reasons I'm as happy with it as I am.
Inspired somewhat by Feint, also.

Equipment could not be taken to the plant in Thiruvananthapuram as ordered by court
The power of organised protest prevailed over the Thiruvananthapuram district administration which, after a futile police action here on Friday morning, gave up its attempts to take a truck laden with equipment for a leachate treatment plant to the city Corporation's solid waste treatment facility here.
Defying prohibitory orders, hundreds of local people and activists of the Vilappil Janakeeya Samithi had gathered in front of the Sreekanda Sastha Temple here right from Friday morning to prevent the movement of machinery or garbage to the treatment plant.
The samithi representatives want an immediate and permanent closure of the plant citing the suffering caused to the local people. The government's stand is that this was not possible and would only lead to a garbage crisis in the capital city. The Kerala High Court had asked the State government to give police protection for the corporation to ensure smooth functioning of the plant. The Supreme Court too declined to interfere with the High Court's decision.
Women lined up to offer 'pongala' in earthen pots as a mark of protest as Samithi leaders held aloft a 31-day-old-child Mohammed Gulal in front of press and TV cameras, announcing that the infant was the 'leader' of Friday's agitation.
The spirits of the protestors soared when Deputy Speaker and local MLA N. Shakthan arrived on the spot and declared his support for the agitation. He told presspersons that the city Corporation had misled the High Court on this issue. "I respect the Court but the sentiments of the people here cannot be ignored," he said.
Even though announcements were made over the public address system that the children of Vilappil would welcome police officers with flowers, the situation turned violent once police moved in to arrest the protesters shortly after 10.30 a.m. when the lone truck laden with leachate treatment plant equipment reached Vilappil junction under police escort.
The 'pongala' pots quickly became missiles hurled at the police. Two sub-inspectors Anitha and Rasia Begum suffered burns when protestors hurled the scalding contents of the 'pongala' pots at them. Minutes later, protestors lit three huge bonfires in the middle of the road. Logs, tree branches, pieces of broken furniture and tins kept some distance away were quickly brought to the spot and thrown into the fire. The flames were eventually doused by a police water cannon truck.
By 12 noon, P.K. Girija, the Additional District Magistrate holding charge as District Collector, gave the order for the withdrawal of the 2,000-strong police force that was stationed in the panchayat. Soon after the cessation of the police action, a group of miscreants went on the rampage here stoning and overturning vehicles.

Venezuela's president has mused that the US may have given him and other leftist leaders cancer. That's unlikely to be possible
Five South American presidents and former presidents, including Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, have been recently diagnosed with cancer. Chavez speculated that US agents may be inducing the disease in South American leaders by feeding them or injecting them with an unspecified substance. The state department has rejected Chavez's insinuation.
Can you give someone cancer? Not reliably. Injecting cancerous cells into a person isn't enough to give him the disease. The abnormal tissue has to penetrate and grow in other areas of the body. If you injected someone with live cancer cells, their immune system would almost certainly attack and destroy the foreign tissue. In theory, secret agents might be able to induce cancer in a leftist South American president with a severely weakened immune system. Or perhaps they could harvest tissue from him, expose it to a carcinogen, and then reintroduce it into his body. As far as we know, however, these techniques have never successfully caused cancer in a human.
While it's tough to induce cancer in an enemy, it's certainly possible to increase his chances of developing the disease. The most effective option would be radiation. Oncologists implant radiation-emitting devices the size of a seed into some patients to combat existing cancers. It's hard to say just how much the device would increase a healthy individual's risk of cancer, but leaving a high-intensity model inside the body for weeks or months would result in a significant dose of radiation. The victim would likely notice the implant, though. They're too big for an ordinary needle, and need to be inserted through a catheter.
You could, alternatively, contaminate the victim's diet with high levels of aflatoxin, which is associated with liver cancer. Or you could infect her or him with any of a number of cancer-causing biological agents. Helicobacter pylori contributes to the development of gastric cancer, and human papillomaviruses can cause cervical, anal and a few other forms of cancer. But these tactics probably wouldn't produce cancer in the short term and aren't guaranteed to have any effect at all. In countries with high aflatoxin exposure, like China and parts of Africa, fewer than 1 in 1000 people develop liver cancer.
Most of the research on infusing cancer into humans is decades old. In the 1950s, Chester Southam gained notoriety by injecting hundreds of cancer patients and healthy prison inmates with live cancer cells. Southam wasn't trying to give his subjects cancer. Rather, he was testing the efficiency with which the patients' immune systems would reject the cells. He was so confident that the patients would fight off the invaders that he thought it unnecessary to tell them what he was doing. None of Southam's patients seems to have developed metastatic cancer from his injections, and most modern oncologists believe the experiment posed little risk to the subjects. (One of the patients showed signs of a potentially spreading disease before dying of a separate illness.) Southam was sanctioned for fraudulent practices, however, and the case helped establish modern informed consent standards.
Southam's experiments were abandoned in the 1950s, but he wasn't the last doctor to inject a patient with live cancer cells. In 2009, a Taiwanese doctor was accused of implanting cancerous uterine cells into healthy patients as part of an insurance scam. While the insurance companies were out more than $660,000, none of the victims developed cancer.
Today, ethical physicians inject live cancer cells only into laboratory animals such as mice and rats. In most cases, the animals' immune systems are compromised, or the rodents have been genetically engineered to rapidly spread mutant cells.

Adoptive parents will tell you that choosing to adopt a child is a beautiful way to create or add to a family. With more than 125,000 children adopted in the United States each year, it's obviously become a popular option [source: Child Welfare Information Agency]. However, adoption is very different from having a biological child, and in more ways than just the obvious one. There are a lot of decisions to make before you even consider contacting an agency.
Adoptive parents deal with a lot of highs and lows on their way to making their dream a reality. They may wait for months or years before being matched with birth parents or with a child (depending on the type of adoption). They undergo intense scrutiny, fill out piles of paperwork, wade through bureaucratic red tape and spend thousands of dollars. It's a difficult process, and it doesn't end when you bring your child home. Every family faces challenges and obstacles, but those encountered by adoptive families are unique.
Of course, the joy and satisfaction you feel when a child becomes yours is immeasurable. But before you even start the process, it's important to figure out what you want and how you're going to handle the obstacles that come your way. These 10 questions to ask yourself will help you decide whether adoption is right for you and your family.
Start the Countdown |
10: Why do I want to adopt? |

6: What age child do I want? |
: 5: Do I want a child of a certain race or culture? Do I want a special needs child? |
4: How will I talk about adoption with my friends and family? |
3: How will I talk to my child about his or her adoption? |
2: How would I feel if my child wanted to learn about his or her background? |

Women with uterine fibroids larger than 10 cm have a new nonsurgical treatment choice hormone acting drugs followed by uterine artery embolization, a new study shows. The new treatment option can replace hysterectomy, which leaves women infertile.
The study, conducted at the Yonsei University College of Medicine in Seoul South Korea, included 40 women with 10 cm or larger uterine fibroids. Twelve of the women received gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists to shrink their fibroids before undergoing uterine artery embolization, said Man Deuk Kim, MD, PhD, lead author of the study. The remaining 28 patients underwent uterine artery embolization alone.
There has been disagreement over offering uterine artery embolization to women with fibroids larger than 10 cm in diameter because of concerns about an increased risk of infection or sepsis, said Dr. Kim. "Our study found that by adding GnRH agonists as part of treatment, the large fibroids shrunk by about 36% on average and complications were reduced," he said. Major complications requiring hospitalization for more than 48 hours were not seen in the group that had both GnRH agonists and uterine artery embolization, while four patients from the group that were treated with uterine embolization alone suffered complications that required 48 or more hours of hospitalization, Dr. Kim noted.
GnRH agonist treatment does tend to make the uterine arteries smaller and more prone to temporary, sudden narrowing, said Dr. Kim. "However, our study showed adding GnRH to treatment did not prevent uterine artery embolization in patients with large fibroids," he said.
All patients treated with GnRH agonists and uterine artery embolization had successful procedures with follow-up of patients showing complete necrosis of the fibroids. Twelve patients treated with uterine artery embolization had successful procedures, said Dr. Kim.
"When patients who have large fibroids greater than 10 cm come to m

AR15 zero irons first then red dot?

I prefer to zero the irons first. Then I dial the dot onto the top of the post, splitting the dot (half on top, half below). Then (with my AR's), I lower the BUIS and confirm the dots zero and fine tune it. When Im done, I bring the irons back up and check to see if they have changed, which they usually dont to much.
I have Ak's with Aimpoints on an Ultimak rail, and they are a lower 1/3 cowitness. Mr AR's are a center cowitness. With either, when I have my head down on the stock for shooting irons, the tip of the front sight pretty much splits the dot.

HPC utilization is becoming increasingly complex and a new trend emerges almost every year.

'What the end-user is really looking for is research flexibility, easy access to HPC, reduced management overhead, and possibilities to extend the existing and limited HPC infrastructure.'Registration is now open and an Early-Bird registration fee of EUR 350 is valid until September 14.

About Edinburgh
Edinburgh is a magical place – from the cobbled streets of the Old Town to the incredible Edinburgh Castle that sits high above the Royal Mile, it's a city steeped in history, culture and wonderful architecture.
It's now been recognised as a World Heritage site; it has over 4,500 listed buildings. Medieval buildings juxtapose with neoclassical architecture and this contrast gives the city its incredibly unique character.
There are some beautiful churches in Edinburgh, including the three-spired St Mary's Cathedral and Rosslyn Chapel, richly decorated with pinnacles, gargoyles and foliage carvings.
The Edinburgh Fringe Festival is one of the most visited festivals, but Edinburgh also hosts the Scottish International Storytelling Festival, the International Film Festival and even the Festival of Politics with lively debates and talks!
The Royal Mile is exactly one Scots mile long and the destination for the best Scottish shopping in Edinburgh! You can buy kilts, classic cashmere, souvenirs – even bagpipes! The cobbled streets of Grassmarket are full of independent stores selling fashions and antiques by Scottish designers.
The Museum of Childhood is the world's first museum dedicated to the history of childhood. It's a fascinating look at toys, games and teddy bears through the years. Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott and Robert Louis Stevenson are three great Scottish writers celebrated at The Writers' Museum.
Take a tour across the city – by foot, by bus, or even on a chauffeur driven trike! However you choose to explore this beautiful place, make sure you pop into Browns for a wee dram of Edinburgh whisky!

"Why do we fall down? So we can pick ourselves up and start again." Wise words from our philosopher-technical director, Giorgio Ascanelli, at the end of qualifying for the Bahrain Grand Prix, after Daniel Ricciardo posted the sixth-fastest time. It means our Aussie driver will start from the third row of the grid, the highest position for a Scuderia Toro Rosso car since Jaime Alguersuari secured the same grid position at last year's Belgian GP.
We certainly came from a long way back after a difficult time at the last race and, even if in the end it's mainly up to the driver to haul his race car round the track as fast as possible, this result owed a great deal to all the clever ideas from our engineers and the sweat and effort of the mechanics who turned those ideas into reality. However, the satisfaction of seeing our car at the front end is tempered by the fact that Jean-Eric Vergne had a difficult and short afternoon, qualifying 19th and failing to get past Q1. In the immediate aftermath of the session, our French driver did not understand what went wrong, given that he'd been happy with his STR7 in the morning and then found it had turned into an oversteering beast a couple of hours later. Never happy unless he's doing very well, "Jev" should take heart from the fact he too has made a valuable contribution to improving our car.
Daniel's time in the final top ten shoot-out was about half a second off pole, which was set for the first time this season by Sebastian Vettel in the Red Bull. Alongside him on the front row for tomorrow's 57 lap Bahrain Grand Prix will be current championship leader, Lewis Hamilton in the McLaren. The second row sees their team-mates Mark Webber and Jenson Button line up behind them. Inside our Daniel, in fifth place is Nico Rosberg for Mercedes. Lining up on the outside of Jean-Eric on row 10 is Vitaly Petrov in the Caterham.
The intense desert heat and the abrasive track surface mean that, for everyone, the behaviour of the Pirelli Medium and Soft tyres holds the key to a good race performance. Degradation will be high, so choosing the right time to stop to fit new rubber, without seeing lap times tumble, means the strategists have a lot of work to do tonight and will then have to think rapidly on their feet as the afternoon goes on. All this year's races have been fascinating and this looks like being no different and with Daniel starting from sixth, a big points haul has to be our target.

Wind vane steering for a double ender...
I am trying to figure out wind vane steering options for Nordica 30, a double ender with a keel hung rudder. The rudder is raked forward at a steep angle and the trailing edge is well rounded to make trim tab type steerer impossible to install.
So far, my options as I see them: install Monitor style windvane, with a monster outrigger and a paddle swinging way out there or figure out some kind of sheet steering arrangement.
Another idea I saw in some book was using a large counter balanced blade, that would have enough leverage to control the rudder directly. It would be useful on broad reach or a run only, since the pressure on the tiller is weakest at those points. The blade swings on a horizontal axis, with a weight to keep it somewhat level, and as the boat rounds up, it would lose it's balance and swing sideways, providing a pull on the tiller.
Has any one seen this type of arrangement. Any ideas would be appreciated

In this paper, we explore how graph-spectral methods can be used to develop a new shape-from-shading algorithm. We characterize the field of surface normals using a weight matrix whose elements are computed from the sectional curvature between different image locations and penalize large changes in surface normal direction. Modeling the blocks of the weight matrix as distinct surface patches, we use a graph seriation method to find a surface integration path that maximizes the sum of curvature-dependent weights and that can be used for the purposes of height reconstruction. To smooth the reconstructed surface, we fit quadrics to the height data for each patch. The smoothed surface normal directions are updated ensuring compliance with Lambert's law. The processes of height recovery and surface normal adjustment are interleaved and iterated until a stable surface is obtained. We provide results on synthetic and real-world imagery.

ELIZA, TEXAS. Eliza was on the Neches River five miles northeast of Augusta in northeastern Houston County. A post office opened there in 1859, and by the early 1870s the community had several stores and a number of houses. Its post office was discontinued in 1871. By the mid-1930s the community no longer appeared on highway maps.

"Sense and the Citi" hahaha. that's cute. I'm a little disappointed in the article, though.When they say: "The economy was "trapped in a vicious cycle" and needed a big "jolt" to ease the flow of credit and to cushion the drop in private demand." I think: hmmm, I wonder how much of the problem can be attributed to income inequality? In a country (USA) where real wages have been declining while CEO pay has increased to ridiculous proportions, it's no wonder most people can't pay their bills and are living beyond their means. You want economic stimulus? Spread the wealth, and not through taxes, but through more rational upper management compensation packages.

It seems unorthodox policies are now fashionable. When these were applied in Latin America they were demolished by the Washington Consensus with the belp of mainstream press. Must we all understand that orthodoxy is out and heterodoxy is in? or is this just a fade, "when in despair, become creative". Development economics was abolished in the name of the market and orthodoxy. This did much harm to many people all over to the benefit of a few. Maybe an apology for The Economist's market fundamentalism is due.
Title of the next mega-selling business book. . . .
George Bush, Alan Greenspan, Phil Gramm and Ayn Rand--The Tragic End of Free Market Capitalism.
All these measures seem to be about stimulating the economy to do the same thing it was doing before, which involved issuing massive property based debt and debt based consumerism in the US, the UK and the wealthy world, all of this partly backed up by savings from the East, and the Gulf. However, if the problem revealed when an asset bubble bursts is that capital has been misdirected, then the real question is where the capital should be directed next, so that it generates a real return. The official answers so far have not been very convincing. Windmills? The real question is whether the West compete with the East as an industrial power. Governments seem to be doing little at the moment but asking us to please continue shopping on our credit cards. Some leader needs to have the courage to ask us to bring our consumption into line with our enfeebled productivity, and start saving again to regenerate new industries.
The Economist doesn't really do self criticism does it? Everyone else seems to think that the cause of the crisis is the naff neo-con policies which The Economist have been presenting for years as Holy Writ, Incontrovertible Truth...ignoring Stiglitz, Krugman, and about every other Economist after the Holy Saint Milton and his acolytes.Time to stop drinking the Koolaid, Get Real, and Move On...
It's worth noting, in the interests of accuracy, that neoconservatism is essentially a foreign policy paradigm and little more. Any domestic agenda the neoconservatives held was absorbed into the mainstream right decades ago.
So to suggest that the neoconservative international relations paradigm is to blame for the current economic woes strikes me as both fundamentally ignorant and smacking of wishful thinking. Economies are cyclic, and so they must experience downturns; the cause in this instance is less important than the lessons learned from it. That's capitalism, in essence, not neoconservatism.
This newspaper did a fairly decent article on the neocons in about, oh, 2004 (?) called "The Shadow Men". I recommend you read it.
That's not a defence of neocons either; it's a defence of accuracy.
the problem is that the people who promote finance and
economy schemes that go bad do not have to personally suffer the consequences of their actions. thus, it is not pure capitalism which these people purport to advocate. were they personally liable, I am sure they would be more cautious in their actions. it is much more difficult to fix a mess than it is to create it. alas, history repeats.
In extreme situations like the present one, it is important to distinguish ghosts from real danger. If there are no collateral effects in pumping money to save the economy, then let´s print trillions of dollars, it is easy and painless. May be inflation is a only a ghost. On the other hand, since the Lehman bust, the ghost of 1929 is present everywhere. Is is feared as a real danger. Even if the size of the US State is much bigger now and it has a negative feedback effect.In a few years we will see if all this "bold" actions were the right thing. I think that if you have "the printing machine" and don´t print, is like to have water, a hose and keep the valve shut in a fire. Decision makers simple don´t have argument to keep the valve shut and will print a lot. Nobody knows very well the consequences and they will be treated only when (and if) they come.
"Bold, unorthodox remedies" I see economists keep on coming up with new words for "printing money"
>>Bold, unorthodox remedies are needed to jolt the world economy back to life
The BIG question is "Do we NEED to jolt the world economy back to life"?
The depression, if it arrives, may be a once-in-a-century
opportunity to wean ourselves out of 20th century style consumerism for good, and lead Homo Sapiens to a sustainable
I assume people do know that economies are cyclic and that downturns have to occur, right?
I'm certain all this money has been splashed out too early. Perhaps our fear of another depression has us pre-empting the inevitable collapse without it actually happening. Yet.Injecting cash into the economy may have helped in 1933, but that came only after most of the greedy rich had lost their fortunes and the rest of us all hope. When they came, government handouts went to helping people feed and shelter themselves, not in helping banks to prey on others and to pay their executives obscene salaries and bonuses.Perhaps this calamity will be resolvable only when society has capitulated and taken its medicine. And greed and selfishness are once again recognised for the cancers they are. I certainly hope so.The world cannot quickly return to its sef-destructive ways and still survive many more years like this.Call it Mother Nature's revolution - the revolution we have to have but were too stupid and lazy to do it ourselves.
I find your analysis and suggested solutions for the problems of the world economy misguided. There are at least two critical considerations missing in your assumptions for the state of the world financial system and its economies and how to fix the problems.
The banking and financial crises did not create themselves. There are myriad reports and analyses already. So suffice it to say that the fuse on the financial bomb was lit by the American banks who, together with some of their like-minded UK peers, supplied most of the explosives that have blown away mainly themselves (the U.S.& U.K. mortgage and investment banks) and threaten the giants themselves like RBC, HBOS and Citigroup. The fact is that except for the U.S. and the U.K. the financial crises in other countries like Hungary or the Ukraine were local problems that were only waiting for a reason to happen.
Until the underlying reasons for the banking/financial crises in the U.S. and the U.K. are faced squarely and dealt with openly and honestly, your prescription for throwing vast sums of money at the problem does not address the underlying causes.
The world economic crisis was also not self-created. It is obvious that national economies go up and down. Depending on the sizes of those economies, their inter-connected natures and their impacts on both suppliers and markets in other countries, there may be a regional problem or maybe even a wider problem. However, problems in each national economy must be dealt with first of all by that country.
Take Germany for instance, one of the world's four biggest economies and its biggest trading nation. Mrs Merkel, the Chancellor, is insisting that countries should be responsible for dealing with their own economic and financial problems before passing those problems over to a regional or an international saviour. Unlike any other leading country in the world, Germany has practiced economic, fiscal and financial discipline for more than 60 years. This same discipline has been largely missing in the US, the UK and Italy as well as some other important economies. So far, we can be thankful that China, India and even Spain, have practiced sufficient discipline to avoid the self-inflicted wounds experienced in the free and easy countries. Unless countries like the US,the UK and Russia get some discipline now, not later, all the money that you suggest should be flooded into the world economy will, as Mrs Merkel has stated, not solve the underlying problems.
Personal, corporate and national discipline may be the obvious but unorthodox solution to the world's financial and economic dysfunction that your article has in mind!
Yet another article that shows how socialist the Economist has become, it now openly is endorsing ever more exotic government interventions and control of the economy. Grow a spine and stick to your principles, I cannot believe it now supports companies that go with a begging bowl to the state.
There might just be a note of the dangerous haste in prescibing such a large shock dose of unorthodox remedies. It seems the immediacy in our consumerist value systems which has been shown to be responsible for much of our present predicament has once again reasserted itself and demands an expeditious resolution perhaps in order for business to return to normalcy.
Quite apart from the arguments that the blameworthy could evade getting justly penalised and more importantly being effectively discouraged in future malpractices, there is suggestion of a self-fulfilling prophecy at work whereby alarmist measures are piled on alarmist theories which in turns just serve to magnify the next round of alarmist theories. The weight of knowledge at our disposal at this critical time can simply further distort our expectations.
I haven't seen anyone propose the real solution to this problem: Math Education.Here's an example question that every child in the US should have to master: "A school teacher makes $35,000 per year. She wants to buy a $500,000 house. What interest rate can the teacher afford to pay?"The answer: She can't. A teacher can never afford a half million dollar house.
Just a thought , let's say the federal reserve 'print more money' to buy the toxic assets or the bad debts. Thereafter banks still has to keep on lending but to whom, or to the already defaulted households and firms?. Then it doesn't make sense, because the problem won't vanish if this approach is adopted.
The problem was well pinpointed but the solution has not been found. In a nutshell the theory of less government intervention in a economy is not working currently. While the government is bailing out banks, insurers and is highly expected to bail US motor industry. Other major sectors are anticipated to come to the forfront for bailout. Who know. Then it exhibit that is the end of free economic system for certain period of time is here until the economic crisis halt.
Yes, i agree in principle that the bold, unorthodox remedies are required to prevent not recession but depression.
I'm just appalled that The Economist are advocating the inflate-your-way-out-of-trouble policy in the name of creativity. In a world that is suddendly full of this-is-the-death-of-capitalism-gloating "pragmatists" (ie, men and women who go about their business with no intellectual compass to guide them), I'd expect this magazine not to be fair-weather liberal but rather to stick to the views that it had become renowned for and for which I keep on reading it (yet), specially in these challenging times. The present mess has but one fundamental cause: cheap, devalued money. I dont see how printing more cheap, devalued money will help solve this crisis. Least of all do I see with what authority will The Economist argue in the future for monetary conservatism to combat the runaway inflation that is bound to result from "pragmatist" policies.
Reading the Economist is much fun on these days than the jokes from comedians.It is funny to see how pseudo liberals become socialists when their pockets are at risk. Isn't it?What happen with the typical free market recommendations given to another nation in situations like this?If a crisis like this would happen to China, India, Brazil, Argentina, etc. The Economist would be warning with claps and whistles " let the irresponsible banks to crash while good banks emerge stronger", "the nationalization of private sector will scare investors", " rise tax ", "use orthodox measure rise interest rates to control inflation and to prevent easy borrowing what was the cause of the problem", "Cut expending in education and public health". Bla, bla, bla.But not, The Socialist o I'm sorry I mean The economist is please to accept the use of socialist measures with a good smile.Who's gonna buy this magazine with such level of incoherence. Perhaps Mr. Chaves to laugh a little bit? Who knows?...
