Bitcoin and other virtual currencies are worth the same now that they were a week ago, before bad news headlines, hints at possible government or regulatory intervention and more dramatically changed market conditions.
Oh, in practice that's not right. The prices for all cryptocurrencies went tumbling this week with the evaporation of Mt. Gox; the largest bitcoin exchange vanished amid swirling troubles, acknowledging bitcoin losses of roughly $475 million, then resurfaced to declare bankruptcy in a Tokyo court.
But in reality, the intrinsic value for these virtual monies was unchanged; they were—and are—worth whatever someone will pay for them or give in return for them at any given moment.
And for as much as supporters suggest that bitcoin and other currencies represent the future of money and a massive change to the global payment and transaction system, people should be looking toward the past as they consider how the story of bitcoin, dogecoin, litecoin, namecoin, mastercoin and any other fabulous new moolah could play out.
Also see: Mt. Gox loses customers' bitcoins, files for bankruptcy
While traders and true believers say all of this coinage represents a new day, in truth it's an old story.
For proof, consider that while the largest bitcoin exchange was suffering this week, you could go online and find a "tulip exchange" (read: online retailer) willing to sell tulips for anywhere from 34 cents per bulb to about four dollars per bulb. Tulips are out of season, however, making them hard to get right now; if prices of lilies, now in season, are an indicator, tulips will actually be on sale and available more cheaply at some point in the future.
Also see: Bitcoin Wild West: Gamblers, investors and merchants
The reason that tulip bulb prices are important is that they, too, are worth what someone will pay for them.
And during tulipomania in Holland in the 1630s, the price of a common tulip bulb more than doubled in value to three florins, or about a week's earnings for a craftsman from that era. More rare bulbs—those priced at 40 florins prior to the run-up—increased nine-fold; one of my college textbooks describing the phenomenon recounted the tale of a single tulip being sold for a dozen sheep and four oxen, two tons of butter, 1,000 pounds of cheese and more.
Mt. Gox files for bankruptcy; what's next for bitcoin?
Bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox said it was filing for bankruptcy protection and that 750,000 of its customers' bitcoins had been lost. Is this the end of the cryptocurrency or merely growing pains? Columbia Business School assistant professor Moshe Cohen discusses on MoneyBeat.
It got to where single bulbs of mid-range tulips had the value of a small house, and the rarest bulbs grew to be worth thousands of florin, the equivalent of more than $750,000 today for just one flower.
Traders got together in taverns—often in organized discussions—to discuss trading trends, current prices and all the ways they could make a fortune.
Because tulips had potential profit built in—each bulb could be the progenitor for future generations of flowers and additional bulbs—the price obviously got to where it had no basis in reality; when Dutch government officials stepped in to calm the market—believing the wild speculation could hurt the entire economy—tulip merchants decided they needed to protect their profits, starting a selling frenzy.
In a matter of days, the tulip market was pretty much gone.
True believers who simply hoped to get back to break even are still waiting, long after their families and all of their heirs could have consumed two tons of butter.

what fish names are 3 letters long
There are approximately nine types of fish with 3-letter names. These names are: ayu, cod, dab, gar, eel, koi, ide, oto, and ray.
The ayu is also called the "sweetfish", because its flesh has a sweet taste to it. It's native to the waters around and within Japan, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the Korean Peninsula. Cod is the common name for the entire genus of fish known as Gadus. Of these nine fish, it's the most popular as a food for humans, and it's also used to make the commonly used nutritional supplement cod liver oil.
The dab is an edible flatfish native to the North Sea. The name "eel" refers to an entire order of elongated fish, which have poorly developed fins and resemble snakes. The gar is a freshwater fish of North America with an elongated body and long snout.
The word "koi" refers to the ornamental varieties of common carp, which are often used for decorative purposes in ponds and gardens. The ide is a freshwater fish from northern Europe and Asia, while "oto" is a nickname for a genus of catfishes native to South America, which have an armored body and feature a suckermouth. Ray is a common name for marine fishes of the order Rajiformes or Batoidei, such as stingrays, skates, and manta rays.
There may be a few other less common 3-letter names for fish, which are either regional, newer, or more obscure nicknames.
In a recent study by the nonprofit group Oceana, it was found that 1 in 5 of all fish sold in U.S. restaurants and markets are wrongly labeled. For example, out of 120 samples labeled red snapper and bought for the study, 28 different species of fish were found.

The lack of diversity on the Santa Rosa Charter Review Committee has prompted a City Council exploration of the issue Tuesday.
Councilwoman Susan Gorin called for the council to discuss the makeup of the committee, which is set to embark on a six-month review of ideas for improving city operations.
"I think it pretty clearly is lacking some diversity," Gorin said. "Everyone would agree that the composition of the committee does not reflect the demographics of this community."
The decision followed a story in The Press Democrat that showed 90 percent of the committee's 21 members were white, 75 percent reside in the city's northeast, the median age is 61 and most are City Hall insiders.
The issue is far from a new one. In 2001, the council initially appointed 22 members to the committee, which is convened every 10 years. But at that time it quickly realized the committee makeup lacked geographic, ethnic and gender diversity. In an attempt to be more inclusive, the council added seven committee members, bringing the total to 29.
Some consider diversity on the committee to be crucial because the body explores issues related to whether residents are fairly represented in the city's political process, and ponders whether the City Council should be elected by district instead of city-wide.
In some ways, the current committee is even less inclusive than the previous one. Ten years ago, 12 of the members were from the city's northeast section, an area whose residents long have dominated city politics. This time, there are 16, or nearly 75 percent of the committee.
But in other ways it is more diverse, with nine women members compared to five. The racial diversity appears to be similar to 10 years ago, when two members were identified as minorities. This time, Ida Johnson and Ann Gray Byrd, who are black, appear to be the only two minorities, making the committee 90 percent white.
From 2000 to 2010, Santa Rosa's racial and ethnic minority population grew from 29 percent to 40 percent, according to U.S. Census figures.
Mayor Ernesto Olivares, the city's first Latino mayor, said Friday he doesn't agree that the committee lacks diversity.

Shane Miller: Effective Ministry Leadership
The Internship Field Training program at Baptist Bible Seminary gives students in the Master of Divinity degree program invaluable hands-on experience in a full-time ministry setting.
Shane Miller, a 2009 graduate, spent his internship at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Toledo, OH, along with his wife Shelley and their children, Joshua, Sarah, and Abigail.
After his internship, the church voted to call him as pastor. He currently serves there as Outreach and Assimilation Pastor. In this role, he leads a 13 week Balanced Evangelism Seminar, teaches a "Theology of Evangelism" class, visits first-time guests to the church, oversees an Impact Saturday ministry that connects with the community, teaches an Adult Bible Fellowship class, and leads many other church ministries.

Insight Questions
What led you to BBC&S?
I moved to Clarks Summit to finish my undergraduate degree in the summer of 2002. I had already been taken some classes at BBS, so I was familiar with the faculty.
I knew that doctrinally BBS was on track in being true to the Scriptures. Also, while attending BBC, I got to know several of the professors. I saw their godly example along with their high level of academic training and Bible knowledge. I also came to understand the value of the internship program. The idea of being in a church ministry setting and learning from other pastors just made sense to me. I knew that if I would attend seminary, BBS was the best fit. I sought out wise counsel and all were overwhelmingly supportive of me continuing my training at BBS.
Why did you choose Emmanuel Baptist for your internship?
I came from Emmanuel, so I knew it's doctrinal position and history. Pastor Bruce Snyder, the interim senior pastor, was a major factor in my serving at Emmanuel. He worked out some complications to enable Shelley and I to serve our internship there. I was excited to have an opportunity to learn under Pastor Snyder, with his godly example and 50 years of ministry experience. It was a blessing and privilege to spend time learning from him and the other pastors on staff.
How has your internship and BBS experience benefitted you?
While at BBS, I was privileged to work with and observe some of the professors as I served in a local church ministry. Working side by side with them prepared me to learn in an internship setting. My wife, Shelley, also benefitted from participating in the Seminary Wives Fellowship while at BBS. She learned much from the faculty wives. It was a blessing to have her growing in her faith and also her ability to minister to others while we were at BBS.
While on my internship at Emmanuel Baptist, I talked daily with Pastor Dave Rockwell. Dr. Rockwell has been serving the Lord for many years in various settings. He is a pastor, a Bible college professor, and has worked at Regular Baptist Press developing curriculum. I gained so much from talking with him and asking questions about ministry and Scripture. I can't explain the value of that time. I also met weekly with Pastor Snyder, my internship coordinator. What an awesome opportunity to ask questions and get feedback on how my ministry was going.
I am so thankful for the internship. I can't imagine what it would be like to go into a pastoral role without having the experience of the internship. Seeing godly pastors minister in various settings and then talking with them about it is a great privilege.
How have you been able to apply what you learned?
My whole ministry consists of applying what I have learned from my BBS classes, in the way I learned from the men while at BBS and the men I was able to spend time with while on internship. My role is to shepherd God's flock by equipping them to do the work of the ministry. This involves helping them to bring the Word of God to bear on every situation of life. That is what I have learned, and I am still learning. I thank BBS for doing its best to equip me to serve the Lord in pastoral ministry.

Hinkie's parents knew their son was headed for big things.
"I knew whatever he did, he would be in charge of it," said Ron Hinkie, Sam's father and a long-time employee at Halliburton in Duncan. "Just from his actions and the way he went about things. More than anything, how he handled his time. He allocated a certain amount of time for whatever the task was. Did the background work."
But Hinkie wasn't a bookworm. In fact, he was a sports nut. The same keen eyes that would spot a kid pulled over by peace officers would spot Hinkie's used Ford F-150 truck parked at the Marlow gym. Soon enough, friends would join Hinkie's shooting practice, and a pickup game would break out.
"That was the kind of thing you could do in a place like that," Hinkie said. "Basketball was a pretty important part of my life. I'd go to two or three team camps every summer, three or four individual camps every summer, had a key to the gym, go every day. Sometimes twice a day. It was important to me."
Hinkie played football and basketball for the Outlaws. He's long said he was just enough of an athlete to get you beat; 5-foot-9, 145 pounds. But Marlow made the state hoops tournament twice with Hinkie at point guard, and Hinkie played a mean defensive back, not breaking on passes so much as knowing where they were going before they were launched.
And years later, when Hinkie had an MBA from Stanford and corporate America was calling, the sports pull was too strong. Hinkie interned with the NFL 49ers and Texans, which led to a job with the NBA's Houston Rockets, eventually the lieutenant's job to GM Daryl Morey and finally, last May, the keys to the rebuilding 76ers.
No big surprise to anyone in Marlow.
"He's one of the unique people," Ridley said. "He's not condescending in his intelligence. He can communicate with anybody. He's got a gift with people.
"Analytics, he can break it down to where I can understand what he's into. He's everyman, with a super brain and loves athletics. He wanted to be a great player. Carved himself into a serviceable high school player. He can do anything he wants. Sports meant a lot to him."
So does Marlow.
"A town full of hard-working, no-nonsense, humble people that have their priorities straight and don't lose sight of it," said Hinkie, who still tries to keep an eye on Marlow, since Marlow always kept an eye on him.
Berry Tramel: Berry can be reached at (405) 760-8080 or at . He can be heard Monday through Friday from 4:40-5:20 p.m. on The Sports Animal radio network, including FM-98.1. You can also view his personality page at newsok.com/berrytramel.

I'll offer an additional instance as well as if that does not aid we could merely leave it at "we consent to differ". Nov 2011 In a tale headlined Catholic Church Succeeds In The German Adult Company, Worldcrunch compressed as well as streamlined a sensationalistic tale from the conventional German paper Pass away Welt that really did not quit at spraying allegations not practically adult, however regarding atheism, magic as well as Satanism. Most the gaining ballot was overloaded by the variety of abstentions, meanings that a significant part of just what we are thinking to be a very smart audience was doubtful of either disagreement. Witness clitoral electro shock and water submission that can take bizarre videos of Public Invasion towards the subsequent level. When Google revealed its "Task Glass" glasses will be provided to designers at Google I/O today, Pink Visual representative Quentin Boyer stated his firm will certainly was initially level to innovate and also establish with them for adult when as quickly as Pink Visual could obtain a collection. It's much past the sex ed I had around 14 years ago which was virtually the procreative body organs as well as the best ways to apply a prophylactic however their anti-porn schedule progresses past a caution. Why would certainly an organization like the IMA also need to think about whether a magnum opus of fine art is in some way visiting be identified as dropping within this law?
Srednivashtar Nov 20, 2010 at 11:39 pm Passive does not always suggest weak, as well as definitely does not indicate non-consentual. That 1920s play created the term "robotic" as well as "robotess," whereas the term "android," where "gynoid" is obtained, initially showed up in a French story of the 1880s. Today, Bacchus could not stand up to offering the heap 'o shit a small amount of rouse himself in Cory Doctorow On The Worth Of Hyperlinks. Emily18 could be a portion of the Reality Kings network, that is a assortment of amazing 28 reality internet pages and they all share 1 member's location access.

A major manufacturer of cement in the country, Dangote Cement Plc, has explained that the recent increase in the price of the commodity is due to low production of the commodity is as a result of turnaround maintenance of some plants and gas shortage.
However, the company said it had released nine million tonnes of cement into the market in a bid to prevent the commodity's price from soaring.
The hike in cement prices became noticeable in January this year with a bag of the commodity, which sold for between N1,700 and N1,800 previously selling at up to N2,500 by February.
The President, Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, had said at the company's Annual General Meeting held in Lagos recently that the firm had not increased cement prices as was being alleged in some quarters.
He was quoted as saying in the statement made available on Sunday, "The recent scarcity in cement product in Nigeria is due to low production between January and March due to the yearly turnaround maintenance of the company's plants at Ibeshe and Obajana.
"We have released nine million tonnes of cement into the market to stem the tide of scarcity and bring down the price."
He pledged that as part of efforts to bring the situation under control, the company would also intensify direct-to-consumer deliveries.
According to him, the move is based on the belief that adequate supply of the commodity will lead to a reduction in price.
Dangote Cement has plans to invest in no fewer than 16 African countries for cement production
Dangote has also said that the group is partnering with the government of Tanzania to complete a $600m cement factory in the East African country.
He said the plant, which has already reached 25 per cent completion, would have the capacity to produce three million metric tonnes of cement annually when completed.
Dangote spoke with journalists at Obajana, Kogi State after conducting the President of Tanzania, Dr. Jakaye Kikwete, round the cement plant. Kikwete was in Nigeria for the World Economic Forum.
Kikwete, who said the Obajana Cement Factory was a state-of-the-art facility, described Dangote as a reliable partner.
He expressed the hope that the cement factory in Tanzania would be the best globally when completed.

Law enforcement officials have raided a huge marijuana growing operation in Topanga State Park, which is located less than an hour's drive from Los Angeles.
Park rangers discovered a plastic-lined dam that was diverting water from part of Topanga Creek. After following the water's new path, a marijuana growing operation was discovered deep in the wilderness of the park.
A raid was conducted by park rangers, deputies from the LA County Sheriff's Department, and officials from the Mountains Recreation Conservation Authority last Friday, and over 34,000 marijuana plants were discovered.
The majority of the plants were still immature– ranging from 1 to 2 feet in height. Officials destroyed the marijuana that they discovered. It is estimated that the marijuana was worth approximately $100 million.
There were 13 plots of marijuana plants throughout the grow. Such massive operations that use harsh chemicals can cause extensive damage to the environment, damaging soil, native plants, and animals. According to park rangers, it could take years for the environment in Topanga State Park to fully rebound from the damage that these growers have caused.
Although 3 men were seen fleeing the scene when the raid occurred, no arrests have been made. In addition to the marijuana that was discovered, there was also a lot of evidence that confirmed the growers' recent presence– over 500lbs of garbage and supplies were left behind. Officers also found decaying batteries, pesticides and fertilizers than are prohibited in California, and hunting traps, one of which was near the body of a dead fox.
Outdoor marijuana growing operations have been popping up in State and National parks and forests throughout the United States. According to Craig Sap, the Angeles District Superintendent for California State Parks, the Santa Monica Mountains area has seen an influx of growing operations as a result of increased enforcement along the US-Mexico border. With drug smuggling becoming more and more difficult, people are resorting to running their own massive illegal drug operations out of state and national parks.

For the 2013 campaign we wanted to explore light, shadow, reflections and all the spaces in-between.
The campaign involved two processes: Models were initially photographed against blank, white studio backgrounds.
Once printed, these two-dimensional, "flat" photos were then re-shot in the studio, using lighting and sheets of coloured perspex to physically "build" the images up and out, to create an added sense of dimension and perspective.
The resulting images often feel quite abstract – a playful mix of the accidental and intentional.

Not One...I Had More Than One StalkersBefore My College :
When I was young and almost 9 th grade , lots of guy followed me , disturbed me over phone Some of them are neighbours, some are distant neighbour, even some are my distant relatives . But it was not so serious.......when i was in 11 th grade still many guys from my class followed me in the same manner, disturbed a lot but in vain. One was really different from them. He tried so many ways......waited for me in front of my school......i didn't care......tried to capture my photo......folllowed me upto my house......involved my female friends to disturb me.....he involved another guy for this purpose but that guy instead of helping him started following me......i thought he forget me...but even few months ago during my last semester of graduation he send message in my dad's mobile number about me......even after my graduation he send several messages in my dad's number and called my dad even. But recently he stopped .
In My College :
During my first year in my college i've heard almost all the guys from mechanical department ( mostly ) discussed about me in hostel . Recently one of my friends told me ( he was in my department ) he didn't know who i'm at the very first time though we are in the same department but he became very curious to see me because all the guys discussed about me after college. Almost 10-15 guys from all departments after me. They followed me , invented so many different ways for this ( not all at the same time same year ) in different time but continuously ( someone for 5 months, some for 6 months, some for two years ) . Those guys are of different types,, some showed heroism in front of me, some are comparetively nervous,,, It was like a drama to me. First I blocked them , but they used different numbers so i have to change phone no several times as it was spread out all over the college. One was from mechanical department followed me whole four years of my graduation. At seventh semester he became violent .....he called day in and day out in my land phone.....even at mid-night. He behaved like crazy . He came to my house i don't have any idea how he knew my address ! ! I complained to our principal with an written letter about his irritating behavior inside the college campus. I know he have nothing to do about any incident outside college campus. But that letter was enough ! ! His parents was called . I talked with his dad. He was quite nice with me. He feft little shame after that incident because the drama was infront of the whole college. He was thretened that if he disturbs me any more he will not be allowed to sit in the final semester. He stopped then.

As the occupation of Wall Street enters its 10th day, reports of questionable arrests and police violence have begun to escalate.
But rather than intimidate those involved, this trampling of constitutional rights seems to have sparked solidarity and catalyzed a national movement.
Several weeks of actions from Boston to Honolulu are scheduled to launch in the days ahead. Organized by The New Bottom Line, a new nationwide coalition representing more than 1,000 faith-based and community organizations, the actions seek to hold Wall Street accountable and find solutions for struggling and middle-class families.
"Wall Street and the Big Banks are making record profits at the expense of the rest of us, and draining our wealth to pad their bottom line. Banks must pay their fair share of taxes, end the mortgage crisis by reducing principal for underwater homeowners, and create jobs through small business loans. Our bottom line means good jobs, healthy communities, and a government that fights for everyday people," said LeeAnn Hall, Executive Director of Alliance for a Just Society, an organizational member of The New Bottom Line.
Large-scale actions are planned for the San Francisco Bay Area, Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago, Minneapolis, Denver and Honolulu. Each city on the schedule has a local demand or proposal for making that community whole after years of mortgage fraud, predatory lending and other wealth-stripping practices.
Nationwide, thousands of people are demanding that the banks "Pay US Back" and they must:
TAKE ACTION! Can't make it to a public protest? Here are other ways you can help this movement gather steam!
Make Wall Street Pay! – Figure out how much money Wall Street owes YOU and send the bill to Congress.
Sign this petition from PICO and tell President Obama that we need a new approach to the foreclosure crisis.
Business Against Tax Haven Abuse — Are you a small business owner? Sign this petition from Main Street Alliance to demand an end to offshore corporate tax dodging.

I believe the time has come to define [Occupy American Movement]. This is the voice of the 99% of Americans to stand up for jobs. We must stand up for the middle class. Wake-up the DEMOCRATIC SLEEPING GIANT!! Voice out to create jobs. We must form new unions so that we can bargain for fair wages, keep Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Tax the wealthy 1% Wall Street, banks, big business, oil, jet setters. Let them pay their fair share. Not to put on the backs of the working middle class and the poor. We can not carry the tax weight alone. Stop the radical Tea Party that is undermining our country, Middle class and the poor. Show we are one!
They can try to stop our movement from pulling our economy out of this recession and defeat us, but it will not work. We must stand up for President Obama and re-elect. If the Republicans win the Presidency, we can and will get the same political stance as we have been getting. Stop the extremist GOP Tea Partys greed. Vote out the Tea Party extremist. Vote Democrat. We believe in the rights of the working middle-class and the poor? We can march on our Capital. Stand against the extremist that are trying to take our way of life from us. The criteria and stance of the Tea Party is asking for it all, will no compromise. They will never get the total package with out compromise. We can not do the same as the Tea Partys radical demand of a total package and try to bring down our government. We must stop the Tea Party extremi
People should remember these protesters have legal rights to gather peacfully and protest, freedom of speech, and after all, america has become the democracy it is by people standing up to those trying to oppress our NEW country............
Don L.,
The Berlin wall fell because the Soviet Union financially collapsed. The people did not work and sat and did nothing for so long that the government could not function properly. Kind of like what is happening in this country. Out-sourcing and off-shoring of U.S. jobs will cause a financial collapse yet again. I predicted the last one and I am predicting the next one. I have been doing so before it became fashionable.
Also, I was not able to answer your question regarding the Check 21 law. Very few banks offer what you suggest (copy via internet banking) as a resolution to not being provided with legal proof of payment in the form of a two-sided copy. In fact, hardly any. If you can name more than 3, please do. Those that do, usually charge for the service. The end result is that the Republican legislation took away proof of payment for consumers that the banking industry is not providing. Despite the boon to the banks the banks still had to be bailed out.
It is good to see real, honest Americans out protesting the demise of the American Middle Class, and the rise of the new American Feudalism. Curiously, their arguments and frustrations are nearly the same as what the Tea Party Protestors were saying just 2 years ago.
The key difference: this really is a 'rag-tag' grass-roots movement - hence the disorganization. Unlike the highly organized rallies of the Tea Party which were nothing more than a co-opting bought and paid for by the Koch Brother$.
"By giving money to 'educate,' fund, and organize Tea Party protesters, [the Kochs] have helped turn their private agenda into a mass movement,"
I will not be happy until I see a computer take a politicians job. If everyone else can lose their jobs to computers, why not them?
We vote them in and Hope that they will do what they promised. When they don't (every time!) there are no repercussions. They do not lose their jobs, they don't even explain! They are our masters instead of our servants. They have taken the place of feudal lords, kings! And we are their subjects, servants and fodder. The politicians and bankers went to the same schools and protect each other. And personally, I would be happier if computers were running the money markets.
What kind of democracy is it that only gives us 1 vote every 5 years? We live in a time when we can ALL vote on many policies via computers e-mail, telephones, lottery machines.
Where we vote for Policies and not politicians. Do we really need them? Or are they just a pernicious meme that has no place in the 21st century.
I have been waiting for this since Watergate and observing politics and the behavior of Corporation, creating monopolies which previously we would never consider allowing, Golden Parachute Pensions, more exploitation of women and children, poor males. Taking business from the citizens and using overseas workers....it is inevitable and I've been warning others but called "negative" or a "doomsday fanatic." Hardly, merely an objective observer. And I've put my opinions out for everyone to see.
The Berlin wall didn't come down because people were protesting. It came down because of President Reagan's policies, and his buildup of our military, and his political engagement with Russia, caused Russia to run out of funding for their military to keep pace with the US forces. They had to make enormous cuts to their military and recall their military from the countries they had taken control of when they formed the Soviet Union.
There were numerous very large protests that took place over the years, and those people who took part in them were extremely greatful when the Soviets decided to take the wall down and allow Eastern Germany to reunite with the west. It was a great moment in history.
Hopefully the wall street protests will lead to our government making changes in legislation that will completely change the way wall street and the huge financial entities conduct the highly risky practices that caused the financial meltdown our country in currently in.
No mainstream media coverage of it in Canada. One guess as to who owns the media these days. Since the global economic meltdown started in the US, it's only proper that the revolt should start there.
If it expands to Bay Street, I hope to be there.
The only place where I hear about that occupation in Care2! Here in Canada, the mainstream media is dead quiet on it.
Go, friends! And, good luck! I'm sending you lots of positive activist energy!

At The Institute for Foot and Ankle Reconstruction at Mercy in Baltimore, our foot and ankle surgeons offer some of the best treatment options for Achilles tendon problems, such as insertion of the Achilles tendon.
The Achilles tendon attaches to the heel bone (the calcaneus) over a very broad area. Although the tendon is only approximately one-centimeter thick, its attachment spreads over a three and a half-centimeter area on the calcaneus. Recurrent stress on the tendon where it attaches (the insertion) leads to inflammation, microscopic tearing of the tendon, swelling and pain. This can be associated with inflammation of the space between the tendon and the calcaneus, called the retrocalcaneal bursa.
At times the back of the heel can begin to enlarge and get quite thick. The thickening is partly as a result of bone spurs that may develop on the back of the calcaneus. These can then grow up into the substance of the Achilles tendon causing further wear and tear of the tendon.
Symptoms of insertion of the Achilles tendon include:
A foot and ankle surgeon can diagnose an insertion of the Achilles tendon by physical exam as well as using diagnostic imaging, such as an x-ray.
Treatment of the insertion of Achilles tendonitis begins with rest, elevation of the heel on the sole of the shoe and physical therapy treatments. All of these are designed to decrease the inflammation on the tendon. Inflammation occurs with every step taken when walking because of the stretching of the Achilles tendon.
Padding of the shoe, elevated heels and physical therapy treatments are commonly successful. Cortisone (steroid injection) should not be used to treat inflammation of the insertion of the Achilles tendon since this can lead to further deterioration of the tendon itself.
If conservative treatments are not sufficient, surgery may be the best treatment option. The surgical procedures performed are varied and are determined by the underlying problem. For example, if the bone on the back of the heel is very prominent and is digging into the Achilles tendon, the bone is trimmed and shaved.
Alternatively, the tendon may need to be repaired if there is tearing of the tendon where it attaches to the bone. In addition to repairing the tendon, a transfer of a tendon is used (transferring the tendon to the big toe, called the flexor hallucis longus). This tendon transfer adds strength and support to the weakened damaged tendon.

JACKSON HOLE, Wyo. (MarketWatch) — Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on Friday put off a lengthy discussion of the easing options available to the central bank until the next Federal Open Market Committee meeting late next month.
"The Fed has a range of tools that could be used to provide additional monetary stimulus," Bernanke said.
These options were discussed in August and "we will continue to consider these and other pertinent issues...at our meeting in September," Bernanke said.
Bernanke announced that the Fed had decided to expand its September meeting to two days – Sept. 20 and 21 – to review the pros and cons of further easing.
"The Fed is not prepared to act at this point, but kept a bias to ease in place," said Peter Hooper, chief economist at Deutsche Bank.
Hooper said even though he didn't expect much talk of more easing in the speech he was surprised about how little there actually was.
After an initial sharp drop upon publication of Bernanke's speech, stocks came back, with the Dow DJIA, +0.82% advancing in late morning trade.See Market Snapshot.
At its policy meeting earlier this month, the Fed took the unprecedented step of announcing that they expect the benchmark Federal funds rate to remain close to zero until at least mid-2013. There were three dissents to the move.
Former Fed governor Randy Krozner said prior to the speech that promising to keep rates lower for longer was the only move Bernanke could do until the September meeting.
Many Fed watchers had expected at least a discussion of the options in today's speech. Financial markets have been waiting for the speech to hear Bernake's views on whether he thinks the economy will avoid a double-dip recession and what steps he might be willing to take to stave off a possible severe downturn.
But Bernanke refrained, saying it was unclear how recent stock market weakness, debt-ceiling negotiations and the European debt crisis had impacted the economy.
"It is difficult to judge by how much these developments have affected economic activity thus far, but it seems little doubt that they have hurt household and business confidence and that they pose ongoing risks to growth," Bernanke said.
Bernanke said the Fed had marked down its forecast over coming quarters but still expected "a moderate recovery" to continue and indeed strengthen over time.
Critiquing Congress
Bernanke also criticized Congress, saying the recent debate over the debt ceiling had hurt the economy.

Using Klocwork Architect scripts
From Insight-9.2
You can use the Klocwork Architect scripting interface to write scripts that work with Architect custom diagrams and models. Scripts can be useful in automating repetitive tasks or performing a repeatable set of actions on a number of projects. You may also wish to use these commands to modify scripts created from actual Architect editing sessions. The commands are written in standard tool command language (TCL) version 8.0 (a Sun Microsystems scripting language), with some Klocwork enhancements.
This page shows you how to create and work with scripts. For a complete list of Architect scripting commands, see Klocwork Architect scripting commands.
Running a script
You can run scripts that perform editing operations in Klocwork Architect. Such scripts, created using the Architect scripting interface, can save you time by automating repetitive tasks or creating custom diagrams or models that allow you to look at particular aspects of your system.
To run a script on model (the instructions are comparable for custom diagrams):
- Open a Graphic view of the model for which you want to review your editing operations.
- Note: If your script contains the saveModel command at the beginning, it doesn't matter which model you open, since Architect will save a new model. If your script does not contain the saveModel command, or the saveModel command appears after editing operations in the script, you must open a Graphic view of a model you own before executing the script.
- Click Scripts > Execute Script.
- The Execute Script from... dialog appears.
- Navigate to the directory in which you saved your script and locate the file.
- Click Execute.
- In the Graphic view, you see all of the scripted operations that you performed on the original model. If your script contains the saveModel <name> command, the model is saved with the name you specified.
You can create menu items for your own scripts to make it easier to run them several times in succession.
After you execute this procedure, your script stays attached to the Scripts menu even if you switch to another project build or Klocwork Server, close the current Graphic view or exit Architect. This allows you to easily run generic scripts on multiple custom diagrams or multiple models in multiple project analyses. If your script is dependent on a particular build, custom diagram or model, you may want to establish a naming convention to help you remember what the script applies to.
To attach a script to the Scripts menu, open a Graphic view of a custom diagram or model and click Scripts > Attach Script..., and follow the prompts.

In Ventura, activists call for changes to public school system
Education activists from the newly founded Change the Schools movement gathered Sunday for a robust discussion with the public about how schools might be restructured to better serve kids.
Undaunted by a small turnout of about six individuals not affiliated with the group, organizers sat in the book-filled basement of the Bank of Books store in Ventura and described schools as constricting, test-driven institutions where everyone involved feels stifled.
"There's a huge emphasis on, 'Let's have school run like a business and test their little brains out,'" said Patricia Kokinos, an author and former teacher who helped found the movement in January.
"It's really been a challenge for teachers to do anything but narrow things down so much that you can answer questions on the test."
Schools have become less adept at meeting students' needs since Kokinos began teaching in 1978, she said.
After a "horrifying experience" working as a school district administrator on the East Coast, Kokinos wrote a novel, "Angel Park," which touches on issues constraining progress and learning in the school system.
"The entire structure is like a giant Frankenstein's monster, kind of patched together over the entire 20th century," she said.
"The farther along we got, the more business influence overtook the system."
Other speakers compared the school system to a factory assembly line.
Victoria Kindle Hodson, an education consultant and Change the Schools partner, said teachers "don't have a clue how to troubleshoot where a child is in the learning process. They cannot do it, let alone get into making learning come alive."
Ideas for improvement included allowing time for teachers to learn new techniques and technology, allocating money more directly to teachers and students, and involving parents on school councils.
The public's lack of will remains a major obstacle, Kokinos said.
"Ventura is not a place where people are up in arms," said Kokinos, crediting Ventura's superintendent of schools, Trudy Arriaga. "But this is not an overnight change. We're giving people in Ventura a chance to get involved."
Bank of Books owner Clarey Rudd said the low attendance Sunday could have been related to gloomy weather, conflicts with other events like college graduations, or satisfaction with Ventura's schools.
"They're a top-notch group and the need is there, but somehow the message didn't get out," Rudd said.
The group's members plan to send letters to legislators and post information on social-networking sites to spread their message. They've established a partner movement in Atlanta, and their website attracts support from people around the world, Kokinos said.
"We're not doing this for fun," said Mariaemma Pelullo-Willis, an education consultant and Change the Schools partner.
"Really, it is a tragedy. We see these kids every day — and adults — who have been so damaged because of their school experience."

By OGJ editors
HOUSTON, Nov. 24 -- The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers' yearly estimate of crude oil and natural gas reserves revealed that Canadian oil sands reserves rose substantially in 2002. "[Canadian] companies replaced 162% of their production to push remaining oil sands reserves to 6.9 billion bbl," CAPP reported.
Oil sands production reached 268 million bbl in Canada in 2002 compared with reserve additions of 434 million bbl at yearend 2001, CAPP said.
"The ongoing development of Canada's oil sands plays an important role in the industry. Oil sands accounted for just over half of the gross additions to Canada's crude oil and equivalent reserves in 2002," said John Dielwart, CAPP board chairman. "Of the $24.7 billion [(Can.)] our industry invested in Canada in 2002, $6.7 billion was invested in oil sands projects," he said.
Conventional oil reserves
Conventional Canadian crude reserves, meanwhile, declined during 2002, reaching 370 million bbl in 2002, compared with 535 million bbl of crude produced a year earlier, resulting in a conventional crude replacement rate of 69%. "Overall, gross additions of crude oil and equivalent in Canada replaced 95% of oil sands, conventional crude oil, and pentanes production in 2002," CAPP reported
Among conventional resources, activity continued to migrate toward drilling for natural gas, CAPP noted. "Gas targets accounted for 68% of successful wells in 2002 with the focus primarily on shallow gas pools. New reserve additions of 5.3 tcf could not offset production of 6.4 tcfresulting in a replacement rate of 84%," CAPP said.
CAPP has compiled Canadian oil reserves since 1951 and natural gas reserves since 1955. Estimates are based on a survey of operators of major pools and estimates from provincial governments and regulatory agencies for small pools.

Signs Of Creeping Dole-ism
November 03, 2008
If you, like John McCain, are extremely sensitive to being compared to Bob Dole, is it really such a good idea to start referring to yourself in the third person? That said, McCain's final, frenetic schedule doesn't hold a candle to Dole's fabled 96-hour marathon. --Jason Zengerle
McCain: Channeling Dole More Than Ever

David Kusnet was chief speechwriter for former President Bill Clinton from 1992 to 1994. He is the author of Love the Work, Hate the Job: Why America's Best Workers Are Unhappier than Ever.
Comparing 1996 And 2008
July 23, 2008
If you want to start worrying about the presidential election this year, you can look at the comparison between 1996 and 2008. John McCain is a similar candidate to Bob Dole--a war hero, running on his experience, but also somewhat past his political prime. The Democrats had the advantage of incumbency in 1996, but of course Bill Clinton had been rebuked by voters in 1994. In July 1996, Democrats only enjoyed a 5.1 percent advantage in generic congressional polls. Yet in late July, Clinton was ahead of Dole in one Harris poll by 22 percent and in a Gallup poll by 17 percent.
McCain's George W. Bush Syndrome
April 02, 2008
As Jason notes below, John McCain's biographical speech was a good imitation of Bob Dole, circa 1996. Additionally, it's worth noting the speech echoed the carefully constructed biographical narrative of another recent GOP candidate: George W. Bush. Ed Kilgore: The theme of the callow young man achieving maturity and then complete identification with his patrimony is as old as the Biblical story of the Prodigal Son.

Looking Good, Bob Dole!
January 28, 2008
No surprise to see Bob Dole in the First Lady's box. In accepting the Republican nomination in 1996, he said, "the fundamental issue is not of policy, but of trust--not merely whether the people trust the President, but whether the President and his party trust the people, trust in their goodness and their genius for recovery. That's what the election is all about." In fact, his and Jack Kemp's campaign book was titled, Trusting the People. And isn't that a fitting end for the Bush Administration: resurrecting the best of the Bob Dole 1996 campaign... --Andrei Cherny
Don't Bank On That Mccain Comeback
October 23, 2007
As long as we're picking on Rick Davis today, what was up with this nugget from that New York Times profile: But Mr. Davis, 50, a jacket-and-tie kind of guy with a runner's build who stands out in the typically rumpled world of political operatives, has won upsets before. As deputy manager of Bob Dole's 1996 campaign, for instance, he gained a come-from-behind victory at a Florida straw poll in part by staging an elaborate reception with Mr.

Elizabeth Dole looks small and tidy tucked into a corner of the CupaCupa coffee shop, situated on the ground floor of the Watergatecomplex where she lives with husband Bob Dole. (Yes, even she callshim by both names.) The North Carolina senator is, as always,perfectly coiffed and perfectly outfitted in a smart black pantsuitwith a white collarless blouse and just the right amount of gold jewelry sprinkled about. Before I even settle into my seat, Dole asks if I'd like anything to drink and offers up a bottle of springwater already on the table.

Dry Fly Fishing Opportunities
Type: Freshwater
Region: Western
Location: Youghiogheny River
While we are still in the midst of a cold winter in Garrett County, there are still some dry fly fishing opportunities for anglers willing to face the elements. There has been an awesome winter stonefly hatch on the Youghiogheny River for the last week. Even though temperatures were in the '20s and the snow was flying sideways, these insects were hatching off in good numbers, and a few trout keyed into them. Last weekend, I fished the hatch near the Hoyes area and hooked a nice rainbow that got off, then proceeded to try to set the hook way too early on even a bigger brown trout. I returned to the Sang Run area on Saturday and landed the nice brown trout in the pictures. The pictures also show the newly emerged stoneflies as well as a lot of case-building caddisflies along the river's edge.
