In many business or warehouse environments, there is a loading dock available for delivery trucks to pull u next to for loading or unloading. A typical loading dock is an extension of the building floor through an opening in the side wall and, among other features, can have a dock ledge and bumper strip about as wide as the rear end of the trailers that make deliveries. The driver backs the trailer up to the edge of the loading dock and the loading or unloading operations start.
A common piece of equipment found wherever a loading dock exists is a dock plate or dock board, a device made from heavy gauge aluminum and designed to bridge the gap between the end of the trailer and the edge of the loading dock. In many cases, this gap could be anywhere from six to twelve inches, which would prevent any wheeled loading equipment, such as dollies or forklifts, from moving heavy materials on or off the trailer. In addition to this spatial separation, there quite often is an elevational difference between the two platforms. Dock plates can weigh anywhere up from to two or four hundred pounds and can be up to six feet in length by six feet in width and they are meant to be stored out of the way of the loading dock until needed.
The problem with this system is that it is necessary to move this heavy and awkward dock board in and out of a particular dock as the delivery trucks arrive and depart. In many situations, this means taking two men from their normal duties and causing them to handle this task, not a very efficient use of manpower. In certain cases, it was found to be necessary to build a mechanical system with a dock board right into the loading dock area and then, one person could activate the mechanism as necessary. This might not prove to be all that advantageous though where there are more than one dock where deliveries are made. In that case, it would take a large capital outlay to fit these mechanisms to each dock. The solution to this problem is in a device that allows a single person to move a dock plate easily, quickly and efficiently by himself.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a device that allows a single person to easily lift and maneuver a loading dock plate by gaining an advantage in the leverage necessary to lift said plate.
It is another object of the present invention to provide such a device that is designed to enable persons of different heights, weights and strengths to use it.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide such a device that can be quickly and easily transported between various loading docks.
These and many other attendant advantages and features are provided in a device known as a dock-aid wherein a boom having proximal and distal ends, with dock board latching means on its said distal end, is connected at its proximal end to a handle and yoke combination. The yoke has several strengthening supports attached to it and is connected to a James Wheel roller™ for maneuverability. The handle extends from the yoke at a predetermined angle to give the operator sufficient leverage, when a moderate downward force is applied thereto, to raise a dock plate caught by the latching means. The dock-aid and dock board can be positioned by rolling movement of the roller.
The novel features which are believed to be characteristic of the invention, both as to its organization and methods of operation, together with further objects and advantages thereof, will be better understood from the following descriptions in connection with the accompanying drawings in which the presently preferred embodiments of the invention are illustrated by way of examples. It is to be expressly understood, however, that the drawings are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended as a definition of the limits of the invention.
FIG. I shows a perspective view of a dock-aid in its resting position on a warehouse floor:
FIG. II shows a plan view of the dock-aid;
FIG. III shows a side elevation of the dock-aid in its resting position;
FIG. IIIA shows an alternative embodiment of the upper handle of the dock-aid;
FIG. IIIB shows a fragmented, partially broken away view of the lower handle, as taken at lines IIIB--IIIB of FIG. III;
FIG. IIIC shows an enlarged side elevation view of the hooking pin at the tip of the boom as taken from FIG. III; and
FIG. IV shows a side elevation of the dock-aid in its lifting position, showing schematically force arrows bearing down on the upper handle.
FIG. V shows a perspective view of the dock-aid being used to place a loading dock plate between the edge of a warehouse loading dock and the back edge of a vehicle (both shown in phantom); and
FIG. VA shows a side elevation of the dock plate of FIG. V, as the dock plate is set between the edge of a loading dock and the rear edge of a truck.
Referring now to the drawings, wherein like reference characters designate like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, there is illustrated in FIG. I a dock-aid 10 comprised of a length of material called the handle 20, having upper and lower sections, a yoke framework 40 attached to the lower end of handle 20 and a boom 60 extending from the lower end of handle 20, at a point near the union of the yoke and the handle. Yoke framework 40, in the shape of an inverted "V", is comprised of an angled yoke 42, having oppositely disposed end pieces 44a and 44band the yoke brace 43, and has a metal wheel 50, called a JAMES WHEEL roller JAMES WHEEL being a trademark of applicant) for maneuverability attached on an axle rod 52 that extends between pieces, 44a and 44b (44a not seen in FIG. I), all as will be described more fully below. Boom 60 is attached at its proximal end 62 to the lower end of handle 20 and has, at its distal end , dock plate hooking means 66 to be positioned in appropriately sized dock plate apertures, or cut-out sections 74, to allow dock-aid 10 to effectively secure, or grasp, a dock plate (as shown in FIG. V).
FIG. II shows a plan view of dock-aid 10. The upper section 22 and lower section 23 of the handle are each comprised of hollow, one inch steel pipe (or similar materials) and these sections join at a handle bend 24 (as seen in FIG. III) for a purpose to be described below. Attached to the outer end of upper section 22 is a handle bar 25 preferably made of the same material. Bar 25 can be welded at 26 to the end of section 22, or, in an alternate embodiment as shown in FIG. IIIA, can be attached (at 25a) to a smaller-diameter, handle-extension section 22a, that slidingly fits inside section 22. Section 22a is secured in one of a plurality of extended positions by a key 27 slipping into one of aligned keyway apertures 28a, 28b, 28c, . . . , 28f. Lower section 23, as seen more clearly in FIG. IIIB, contains a steel reinforcing bar 29 that extends, inside section 23, from the junction of section 23 and yoke brace 43. Preferably, upper section 22 is approximately 14 inches long, extendible to 20 inches, and lower section 23 is approximately 20 inches long, so that the length of handle 20 can be adjusted through a range from approximately from 34 to 40 inches long.
Yoke framework 40 is comprised of yoke 42, which is in the shape of a chevron and preferably made of 21/4" wide by 1/4" thick flat steel bar, and yoke brace 43, preferably made of 1" wide by 1/4" thick flat steel bar, joined, as by welding or other known methods, between end pieces 44a and 44b, to form a triangular construction. As mentioned, yoke 42 is made in the shape of an inverted "V" and has, at the point 46 thereof, a hole bored therethrough to allow the lower section 23 of handle 20 to fit therein. Oppositely-disposed end pieces 44a and 44b are formed in the same length, width and thickness and support opposite ends of axle rod 52 therebetween. Axle rod 52 supports, by extending through apertures bored in the center thereof, a pair of circular center rims 54a and 54b (as seen in FIG. II) that can preferably be made of 3/8" thick steel plate. Rims 54a, 54b are force-fitted into the ends of tubular section 55, which section 55 can be made from 15/8" thick steel stock, or similar material, and preferably is 15 inches long with an outside diameter of 7 5/8". This JAMES WHEEL(™) roller 50 provides a sturdy, yet mobile, base from which handle 20 and boom 60 operate from. As an alternate embodiment, a plurality of small wheels (not shown in the figures) could be used in place of the JAMES WHEEL(198 ) roller. Additionally, a unit stand 58 is provided to extend from end pieces 44a, 44b as shown. Stand 58 is formed from two, oppositely-disposed ears 59a, 59b, which extend orthogonally from end pieces 44a, 44b, respectively, and center bar 59c, which joins therebetween. Unit stand 58 can be attached to yoke 40 by welding or other fastening methods known in the art.
Boom 60 is comprised of a first part or inner boom 62 and a second part or outer boom 64 and a pair of boom supports 66a and 66b, all joined, as by welding or other known means, at junction 63 to form a second triangular construction. Outer boom 64 carries a plate hook 66, as will be described. Inner boom 62 is preferably a section of flat, steel bar, approximately 20 inches long, welded adjacent point 46 to lower section 23 of handle 20. Outer boom 64 can be from approximately 10 to 20 inches in length. In a similar fashion, supports 66a and 66b are attached adjacent end pieces 44a, 44b, respectively, to yoke 40. The opposite ends of supports 66a, 66b are brought together at the outward end of inner boom 62 where the inner end of outer boom 64 is joined. The bracing structure thus established allows a load, such as a dock plate 70, to be suspended from the plate hook 66 attached to the distal end of outer boom 64 (as seen in FIG. IV, an elevation view of the invention with dock plate 70 in phantom). As, seen more clearly in FIG. IIIC, an enlarged view of hook 66 as taken from FIG. III, hook 66 can be made by bending the end of outer section 64 around from a straight section to a perpendicular position, and then to an acute angle, as shown by the two dashed lines.
The use of dock-aid 10 is shown in FIGS. V and VA. In these figures, the rear end of a truck 71, the edge of a loading dock 72 and a workman 73 are all shown in phantom. Truck 71 backs up to the edge 72, leaving a gap between the two surfaces. A workman 73 grasps the handle bar 25 of dock-aid 10 and maneuvers it to align hook 66 with elongated cut-out section or aperture 74a and hole or aperture 74b in dock plate 70 (see FIG. V). Dock plate 70 is a substantially square or rectangular shaped device having an upper, vehicle-bearing flat surface 81, opposite side edges 85a, 85b and oppositely-disposed dock-engaging and vehicle-engaging edges 86a, 86b extending therefrom. As seen in FIG. V, dock plate 70 has a perpendicular wall 78 extending from the underside of vehicle-bearing flat surface, approximately below a peak in the surface, to provide a space underneath the flat surface. Cut-out section 74a is substantially in the shape of an oblong figure and cut-out section 74b is circular. Both are formed in the upper flat surface in a predetermined location on the centerline within the front one-half of dock plate 70 just behind peak 76. The workman will lift handle 20 up to force hook 66 down through section 74a so that the tip is below hole 74b. By pressing down on handle 20, as shown schematically by arrows 75, workman 73 uses the leverage of lower section 23 and inner boom 62, and forces hook 66 to rise so that the tip engages in hole 74b and catches the flat surface of dock plate 70 and the combination of the handle 20 and the lifting boom 60 being in imaginary planes perpendicular to the axis of the JAMES WHEEL(™) 50 generates sufficient leverage to cause boom 60; and dock plate 70 to rise up. The force generated at the handle end of dock-aid 10 must overcome the weight of dock plate 70 at the opposite end. Once this is accomplished, both the handle 20 and dock plate 70 are above the axis of JAMES WHEEL (™)roller 50 and now workman 73 can maneuver dock-aid 10 and plate 70 to the desired location and set plate down (as shown in FIG. VA). Of course, its an easy movement to then simply remove hook 65 from holes 74 and roll dock-aid 10 out of the way of operations.
Finally, while the dock-aid has been described with reference to a particular embodiment, it should be understood that the embodiment is merely illustrative as there are numerous variations and modifications which may be made by those skilled in the art. For example, it is also within the scope of the inventive concept to have a plurality of hooking means, spaced apart, affixed to individual booms to engage the dock plate at more than one location across its width. This will add further to lifting a balanced and even load. Thus, the invention is to be construed as being limited only by the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

First off, this is an excellent price vs ordering directly from the site. Second, this is a trusted AMERICAN MADE brand that is SURE to satisfy since 1878. They make trusted military merchandise and all sorts of other things, so you KNOW this is quality! On mine, there was a minor scuff mark on the top... but not enough for it to be bothersome. I'm using this as a keepsake box for 18-month-old daughter and I'm REALLY glad it comes with a LOCK and the option to put on another lock so that way she can't get into it. If you're debating on getting this, don't! You found a great product! Just get it!
Customer review by Elrynon
We got this at black friday and love it. It's not the MOST durable thing out there (I'm pretty sure it's just pressed board. Reminds me of old wood paneling you find in trailers/basements from the 70's) BUT for the price you can't complain. We put it by the front door and put our shoes inside instead of having a big pile of shoes by the front door. I wouldn't put it anywhere damp/moist personally. My 5 year old son sat on it the other day and it creaked a bit but I didn't risk letting him stay any longer. Honestly though for around the house, light/medium use I would use it to store almost anything. I honestly can't rate it on heavy/hardcore use. For the price though you can't go wrong.

Yoko Romo Goes Country
Because it's never too early in the year for Jessica Simpson "news": Last week, Direct to Video told Billboard that her next CD will be country-fried, citing as her inspirations and influences Martina McBride, Shania Twain, Faith Hill and Reba McEntire. And, joy of all joys, she'll be writing some of the songs all by her lonesome:
"Writing is a release for me," she says. "It's a way for me to tell my story. That's not to say I wouldn't record a song that I didn't write. It's just that it has been a while since I have opened the book."
Though I think she meant to say, "It's just that it has been a while since I have opened a book." --Robert Wilonsky

YG Releases 'Who Do You Love?' Video Ft. Drake
YG has debuted the music video for "Who Do You Love", which features guest vocals from Drake. Directed By Benny Boom, the five-minute visuals opens with the rapper having an argument with his girlfriend after he thinks she's been cheating on him.
He then leaves home and heads to a house party where he eventually meets Drake, who lays his verses while being surrounded by a bunch of scantily-clad ladies. While YG is having fun at the party, his girlfriend is getting frustrated after she fails to reach him by the phone.
"The video shoot was my first time partying with Drake in real life, but Drake is cool," YG told BuzzFeed of filming the clip. "Drake got the b***hes - of course he's a fun guy to hang out with - he got the b***hes."
Produced by DJ Mustard, "Who Do You Love?" will appear in "My Krazy Life", YG's debut studio album that's scheduled to be released on March 18 via Def Jam Records. In addition to Drake, the record will feature guest appearances from Lil Wayne, Kendrick Lamar, Nicki Minaj and SchoolBoy Q among others.

While I was in Florida this week, winter arrived in Chicago. In October. Global warming, my butt. It gets earlier and earlier every year…and stays later and later.
It's all good, though. I love the colder temperatures. It means hats, scarves, sweaters, and boots.
It also means riding my bike on the trainer so if anyone has any good tips for keeping me from getting bored out of my mind for two hours while I ride in one place, I'm all ears!
You might notice the new photo on today's post. My dear friend Annie Weiskopf asked if we could have a different gin this week and I told her if she created it, I would show it. And she did! With the help of her son, Jacob.
Thanks to Anne, we have Hendricks and topics today.
5. A Tall Tale, But True: Men In Heels. I don't know what's going on in the shoe industry right now, but they are all the rage. First, men are wearing heels to parties in order to "see over the cattle." Yes, men in heels. I'm not sure why men would want to wear heels. They're not super comfortable. And it makes a 6'2″ guy really tall. Add to that, Christian Louboutin describes why his shoes are so popular with us girls. You have to read it to believe it. All the rage. (Thanks to Deb Dobson and Jamie Sandford for their part in this topic.)
4. Moms Continue Flocking to Facebook. If you do any work with moms as a target audience, pay close attention to this study. It shows two-thirds of the nation's moms are on Facebook. Two. Thirds.
3. Essential Apps for Start-Ups. I'd say these are essential apps for anyone. The other day, ChicagoCabbie (yes, you can tweet him and he'll pick you up) took my credit card via Square attached to his iPad. So. Freaking. Cool. If you take credit cards, this is a great way to do it. And it emailed me my receipt so I didn't have to worry about trying to find it at the bottom of my purse when I got home.
2. How to Grow Your Subscriber Lists. It might be because a client has asked us for new ways to grow his readership, but I thought this article was really interesting. It works for email marketing, blogging, or web traffic, in general.
1. Kevin Bacon on Footloose Anniversary. I went to a lot of effort to get you this video so you'd better watch it. It's priceless. And please, let's discuss the dance moves at the end. If you can call them that.
Special thanks to my dear friend Anne Weiskopf and her brilliant son, Jacob, for the new photo!

I use Square for credit cards. I haven't used it a whole lot yet (I'm still green as a business owner) but when I was going through the options my husband brought it up–it trumps a lot of other options I've seen out there.
@Kristy Stewart I think it's pretty darn handy!
@Kristy Stewart P.S. Did you watch #1??
@ginidietrich Yes, and it brought many a smile to my workday.
@Kristy Stewart LOL!

Kevin! I love your dancing, but you need a new couch. seriously.
@seanb_us I'm quite proud of myself for getting Kevin Bacon on there. It took some doing
@kimgeralds And it's all in there!
@ginidietrich 😉
@ginidietrich Kevin Bacon video was just too cute. 🙂
Okay, I so love Kevin dancing!! Made me chair dance in my office.
@kimgeralds It made me laugh!
@Lisa Gerber And what's on the wall behind him?
@debdobson62 Was that not hilarious?! He's clearly lost his dancing skills in the past 27 years.
Can somebody please tell me why men are wearing heels suddenly? I'm not uncomfortable with blurred gender-lines when it comes to dressing; I'm just uncomfortable with… heels. They hurt. Like hell. So why the sudden popularity (stilleto) spike?

@EmmaofCEM Right?! I don't know why anyone would do that to themselves. I wear them when I'm on stage or when my pants are too long and I'm too lazy to have them hemmed. But, in general, why would you do that to yourself?!
@bethmosher Ha!
@bethmosher Ha!
@Content_Money LOL
"two-thirds of all online moms" which means there are only 30 million moms online???
Great (and eclectic) topics this week! (I'd say more but that photo is making me THIRSTY!! 🙂
Oh my. Kevin Bacon.
Can we just talk about that couch in the background? Looked like one you might find in say a Cat Lady's home? Was that a hand towel on the back of it?
And the dancing. He's in need of a good publicist. That is all.
@EricaAllison Speaking on behalf of stylish Cat Ladies – we do not condone Kevin Bacon's couch or hand towel.
@AnneWeiskopf You are far from the Cat Lady I'm thinking of! And by the way, LOVE Hendricks…it's my favorite evah! Good styling of the shot, too!
@EricaAllison Erica, let me compliment you on your excellent taste in gin and styling. So, I just walked into my den and realized I DO HAVE THAT COUCH! (Redact previous comment.) Kids and cats. Oy.
@ginidietrich oh. now i have to re-watch.
@EricaAllison I totally commented on the couch!!! down there (how do you point down?) anyway, down below. Hilarious.

@EricaAllison Right?!? And the pictures on the wall?!
@AnneWeiskopf That photo is AWESOME!
@faybiz I guess that's what it means.
@debdobson I'm quite pleased with myself for sharing that video. It wasn't shareable.
@ginidietrich You know who you remind me of on TV?
@ginidietrich You know who you remind me of on TV?
I wore heels once. Only once. I have a ton of respect for women in heels as I thought I was going to break my damn neck in them. The heels were part of a Halloween costume just so you do not question me Gini. Hula Girl in heels and with a ukulele (complete with grass skirt and coconut shell bra). We still have pics that I'm sure Kelly will be glad to share. Anything to embarrass me. I've never seen this trend you speak of nor do I want anything to do with it.
Those moves where schmoove. Better then anything I can do.
@M_Koehler O! M! G! I'm going to FB Kelly and ask her to bring pictures of this on NYE. That is priceless!
OMG — where did you get that video? I do believe those dance moves were what he did when he was trying to teach Willis how to dance. Loved that movie (and the play) so guess I'll have to see the remake. But seriously, Kevin, what's with the hair?.
@AbbieF Um…I didn't get it legally. Let's leave it at that, shall we?
@ginidietrich It's sad, really.
@ginidietrich Where is Kyra?
@ginidietrich Where is Kyra?
@AnneWeiskopf Oy. I have 'em both, too! One cat, two kids.
@AnneWeiskopf Oy. I have 'em both, too! One cat, two kids.
@ginidietrich@EmmaofCEM OMG I thought I was the only one with the long pants I can only wear with heels because I'm too lazy to get them hemmed. We should start a support group.
I'd rather talk about that, ahem, couch. And, how about the skeletons in his closet? Did he put on a mask or what?
@Soulati | PR I feel like he might have been stoned, too. Don't you think?

You get the trophy. The only one amongst the cats who mentioned the awesome data provided in this Kevin in Heels post. @faybiz
I had a heart attack when I saw you were really talking about real men on real heels. Sick.
@Brankica LOL!! I cannot make this stuff up!

@Nic_Cartwright Yeah…I DVR a lot of stuff, too. I'm going to try P90X to break up the days. Ride three days a week and do P90X three days. See if that helps me from going nuts.
@adamtoporek LOL! The Kevin Bacon video rocks

@ginidietrich Yeah, that was a great find! I think those are the same moves he was bustin' in the 80's. 🙂
Thanks for the effort in getting the Kevin Bacon video. I loved that movie! While I watched the clip I was hoping it would cut to a dance scene from the movie. No such luck. But, thanks to Kevin for the message from the heart.
Oh, and thanks for all the great stuff you send out on a regular basis too! Love your blog.
@annethewriter Thank you, Anne! It took me about 45 minutes to get that video so I appreciate your comment. 🙂 But I think h lost his moves from 27 years ago.
Love that Kevin Bacon video! Nice message but it was the dancing that made it. Hilarious 🙂
Just want to say that I look forward to Gin and Topics every week. Thanks for putting this together Gini!
@UmaChandran Someone on Twitter said, "Well, now I know I dance like Kevin Bacon." That made me LOL!
Okay HOW did you get that video??WOW that dancing was unfortunate and yet inspiring. He clearly doesn't give a… fig. He should be with Julie Andrews on that one graphic. Of course… the couch…? But then again, it may be all about the many figs he does not give, which in that case, good for him!Oh and I am in LOVE with Square. Love. Not for me, I'm sure I'll use it once a month at best. But for my peeps – taking credit cards on the spot and getting their money so fast? It rocks. And it's so portable.
@Tinu Um, it wasn't legally (cough, cough). The dancing is just incredible. I was so excited about figuring out how to post it here that I woke Mr. D up on Friday morning to show it to him. He didn't find it as funny as we did.
@ginidietrich @SpinSucks those are the old share buttons brought back right? http://t.co/DBirs1le
@ginidietrich Utilizing the internet? What?
@danieleagee You! Zip it!
@ginidietrich Make me woman!
@ginidietrich Please?
@danieleagee LOL! Oh I'll make you.
@ginidietrich @danieleagee Fight! Fight!!
NOOOOOO! I am putting my foot down. Number 4 means nothing. Horrible horrible article Gini. I am sorry I must do this. It is really misleading.
It says 26 mil mom's use a social network once per month.
There is no time spent. Number of visits. If 26 mil mom's each logged into facebook 1x per month can you reach them? No.
This stuff drives me freaking crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok back to the men in heels. OH NO YOU DON'T double snap. When I see Diddy, Snoop Dog, Brad Pitt, or an All Pro Football Player wearing them then I will pay attention LOL
@HowieSPM I'm pretty sure you wouldn't wear heels even then!
@ginidietrich LOL But I have worn eye liner and have painted my nails once for a costume.
Oh and I did spend an hour in a howling dust storm holding up my tent at burningman wearing a cowboy hat, sarong, and blue fuzzy slipper. 8)
On a serious note. I am going to research the Mom stuff to get some data. I am sure it is pretty impressive. I just didn't like the data the article used.
Don't go crazy on the stationary Gini 🙂
P90X sounds like a great idea, I am adding crossfit during my Base period this winter.
I HATE Base.
@John Falchetto I HATE base, too! Hate.
@ginidietrich@John Falchetto I've been eyeballing P90X….
I like the way heels make my calves look; the height is just a bonus. You probably couldn't tell I was only 5′ 2″ when you met me, huh?
I thought Kevin was bustin' a good move; that's something I could pull off.
I'm sure there was something intelligent I could have dropped in here and I was thinking about the moms on FB, but after I saw @skypulsemedia discredit the value of it I decided to just leave it alone. But Howie's smart like that so I tend to believe him, because I'm not…………:)
@bdorman264 are those heels allowed on the golf course?
@HowieSPM Yes, but they make us wear plastic ones now…..
Love the video and crazy camera dance moves. Those shoes look amazing on those guys. Can never imagine that trend reaching Australia. But you never know.

China's Xi says will keep economic growth healthy
BEIJING China will keep economic growth healthy and supply-side reform will be priority for its economic development, the official Xinhua news agency quoted President Xi Jinping as saying.
-- Matthew Goldstein is a Reuters columnist. The views expressed are his own --
By Matthew Goldstein
NEW YORK Even as Ponzi king Bernard Madoff goes away to prison for the rest of his life and then some, there are still so many unanswered questions -- both big and fundamental.
Were Madoff's sons involved? What did his wife Ruth know? Were the operators of the giant feeder funds that sucked in tens of billions of dollars in investor money in on the charade?
Those questions, though important, ultimately pale when compared with the bigger ones that remain about the root causes of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.
Indeed, for all the misery Madoff and his Ponzi brethren have caused, none of those scam artists were the cause of the crisis that brought the financial system to the brink. If anything, it was the financial crisis that helped flush out Madoff and his scurrilous ilk, as many investors rushed for the exits at the same time.
So that's why Congress needs to act quickly to get up and running a bipartisan commission to study the underlying causes of the financial crisis. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi likens this new 10-member panel to the Pecora Commission, the famous Depression-era investigative committee that led to passage of Glass-Steagall -- the 1933 law that drove a wall between commercial and investment banking.
The 1999 repeal of Glass-Steagall contributed mightily to the current crisis by opening the door to an anything-goes mentality on Wall Street and allowing far too many banks to become too big to fail.
This new commission, armed with the power to subpoena witnesses and documents, is meant to investigate all aspects of the crisis, including regulatory lapses, Wall Street excesses and deceptive behavior by lenders and securities traders.
A first order of business for the commission should be looking at the Federal Reserve's dereliction of duty for missing the warning signs of trouble. Congress can't consider acting on the Obama administration's proposal to upgrade the Fed's status to supreme financial regulator before there's a full accounting of its missteps.
But there are already worrying signs that this commission will lack the political nerve to tackle the tough issues, let alone ask the right questions.
Reuters reported last week (link.reuters.com/kus87c) that some of the people being considered for the commission include many former Congressmen, governors and familiar talking heads from Washington think tanks. Let's hope that will not be the case because the financial system can't truly be fixed until there's a candid assessment of who let things get so out of control.
Sure, put some wise political statesmen on the commission. But also allow room for some longtime Wall Street critics, derivatives traders and hedge fund managers -- the kind of people who know the system from the inside out.
Maybe, even include one or two people who were sharp enough to stay away from Bernie Madoff.

Seed oil produced from Southland-grown meadowfoam is helping distinguish a New Zealand company's body care products in the Japanese market.
Pacifica Skincare Ltd's business adviser Alison Quesnel said the Auckland-based company had already sold some product in Japan and hoped to sell more.
It had started providing a lot of information to its Japanese agent about the ingredients used because that was the products' key point of difference.
"Our whole philosophy is we want to show the best of the South Pacific."
The company used ingredients sourced in New Zealand as much as possible and had discovered the seed oil about five years earlier while developing a special range of products for Air New Zealand passengers, Ms Quesnel said.
The oil was originally used only in lotion from that range but now featured in all of its lotions and body butters.
Sourced from Southland, through Christchurch company Oil Seed Extraction, the oil was a good humectant and stable, which helped preserve products and gave them a longer shelf-life.
It also held perfume for quite a long time and helped to prevent products from evaporating off the user's skin, she said.
New Zealand Meadowfoam Growers Association secretary, agronomist Bill Risk, said meadowfoam grew well in Southland but growers did not have any crops in the ground.
"We have got a little bit of stock on hand so we're tai-hoing [slowing down] till this market out there develops."
The group was also dealing with companies that sold the seed oil overseas but this was in the development stages too, he said.
"This general economic downturn in the world economy hasn't helped this sort of development. So things are in a holding pattern at the moment," he said.

The Swellers Stream New Album
i fucking love this band, but having preordered the album, i'm gonna wait til it arrives for my fix...
I preordered it too. I don't like it as much as Ups and Downsizing so far though. It seems too "moderately paced" ya
know? Actually reminds me of the Foo Fighters (which isn't a bad thing at all).
But new Swellers AND Wonder Years albums next week!! OMGODZZZ
I heard the single off of this it was catchy and had alot of energy, however I didn't care for it after repeated listens. dunno why
Hoping to have the review up on the weekend some time. After a couple of listens, it is strong. I only got that "moderately paced" feeling right near the end. There's a definite Fooeys vibe at times, but I also got an 'American Slang' feel out of it too. These guys are just rock solid.
I also sensed a slight Gaslight Anthem influence in there too. Just seems like more of a rock album than a "punk" album, which isn't a necessarily bad because they pull it off so well.
i've seen these guys like a dozen times. nicest dudes ever. hopefully this is better than their last one.
Digging this so hard.
Satellite, I thought their last one was their best & if anything, this album seems to be most similar to that LP. I mean, there isn't exactly any skate-punk on here.
"hopefully this is better than their last one."
hey now
i just sorta dug their more skate-influenced sound. it wasn't a bad album by any stretch.
kinda good. 'Prime Meridian' is awesome.

A 3 way relation and its causes"Am I hot? Am I pretty? Am I cute? Am I amazing?", Palutena, the Goddess of Light, asked while standing in the main hall of the Smash Mansion. Normally she wasn't that big of an show off but sometimes even this kind goddess can be. And being a bit like that nevet hurt, right?A 3 way relation and its causes by Miu-ChiChan
"No, you're none of it!", a person yelled in. When the green haired goddess heard that she smiled, but you were able to notice she wasn't happy to hear that. "Aww, aren't you cute? Stating a blanty obvious lie", she began in her innocent tone. "You deserve a treat for that." and then she blast her Autoredicals on him and the person fell down. "I... I'm sorry", he wispered while sounding hurt.
"Wow, Cucumbtena is sure angry", Pipika, a normal looking Pikachu, said a bit suprised. "How about we escape as fast as..." but when he spoke she wasn't there anymore. He noticed because the girl already went up to the goddess.
"Dear Goddess of Light, let me answer your question", she began. "You're not hot, you're the hottes
Sonic's statement... And rivality beginsThe next few hours Palutena did nothing other than searching for Sonic. She searched everywhere for him. At least everywhere he could have been. But no luck.Sonic's statement... And rivality begins by Miu-ChiChan
After hours have passed she stopped in the hallway. "What am I doing?", she asked herself. "Well, guess it's natural. But when Sonic isn't here then defently on a date with Amy." "Date? With Amy? Never!", somebody suddenly said. "But why it interests you anyway? You're not curious about this actually."
The goddes turned around with a suprised look on her face. It was him-Sonic. "Hey Pal", he greeted her, a bit too late.
Actually Sonic didn't call the Goddess of Light not by her full name, just with a nickname he gave her. When they introduced to each other the hedgehog came up with this idea after he heard her name. He said Palutena sounds a bit boring and is also too long. Pal is shorter and sounded better for his ears. And actually also Palutena liked this name he came up with.
"Greetings Sonic", she greeted back. "Where were yo
First attackThe last past 6 days Amy didn't show up so everything went on normal for Palutena. She did her Smashes and her teasings. Oh, and also searchign for Sonic's crush in secret. She followed him everywhere and tried not to get caught. And always had luck with that. But no luck with hints. Even when he tlaked to the female Smashers he talked normal. He didn't turn red or became nervous. Maybe he is good at hiding is he feelings or he's gay... Wait, Sonic and gay? No way! ... The possibility would just be 1%.First attack by Miu-ChiChan
Nut lets get back to Amy. Why didn't she show up? Did she just joke? ... Probably not. The goddess knew how serious Amy is when it goes about the blue hedgehog. She is up to something.
"I should be prepared", Pal suddenly said. "What?", Pit asked puzzled. They ate breakfast in the cafetria and sat on a table together. Not many were up at this time. It was 6:00 am. Many got uo at 8.00 am.
"Why that? What happened? The Forces of Nature want to attack?", he asked. The green haired goddess s
Cookie troubleThe goddess stood in the kitchen and tought. "What shall I bake?", she asked herself while reading in a cooking book. "The first plan was successful. Now what are good sweets I can even bake?" She read and read. But it all seemed too difficult for her.Cookie trouble by Miu-ChiChan
Suddenly somebody entered the kitchen. It was a swordman. A blue haired swordman. His eyes turned to the goddess. He looked suprised at her. "Hey Miss Pervy Goddy. What are you doing?", he asked. "Trying to bake some sweets Ike", she answerd. Pal knew the swordman. Everyone did. He and his best friend Pikachu were known as the troublemakers. They played pranks to almost everyone. At least she never was a victim for the pranks. Well, not yet.
"Wait... You can bake?", Ike asked suprised. "Well... Not really. I always fail. But there has to be something I can even bake."
"If you know you're bad at it, why do you do it then?"
"No special reason", she answerd. "Am I not allowed to?" "I never said that", he said.

Just got these yesterday - They are beautiful!!! I actually asked the artist to combine two designs from her sight, (I was torn as to which one to get!) and she merged them beautifully, listening to exactly what I asked her for. She sent me a pic ahead of time to make sure I loved them, which I did. Upon opening them I found that they matched the picture exactly. Quality craftsmanship for sure. Thank you!

This invention is an improvement upon sentinel node localization systems. One of the latest developments in the staging of breast cancer is the sentinel lymph node biopsy. The status of the regional lymph nodes in the axilla (armpit) are one of the most powerful predictors of the survival of women with invasive breast cancer. The current standard of care for women with invasive breast cancer is the surgical removal of approximately two-thirds of the axillary lymph nodes for tumor staging. Most breast cancer patients, fortunately, have no spread of cancer to the lymph nodes. However, they endure the morbidity of the axillary lymph node dissection. Complications of an axillary lymph node dissection include arm edema (swelling), numbness and pain in the arm and axilla, and increased costs due to longer hospitalization.
The concept of the sentinel lymph node biopsy is to sample the first draining lymph node (the "sentinel node") nearest the site of the patient's breast cancer. If there is no evidence of tumor spread, then the patient does not have to undergo an axillary lymph node dissection. The procedure involves injecting radioactive material around the site of the cancerous tumor in the breast. This procedure typically is done in a radiology/nuclear medical department followed by transportation of the patient to an operating room where a surgeon uses a hand held gamma probe (camera) to localize the area of greatest radioactivity in the draining lymph nodes. The surgeon will also inject blue dye around the cancerous site and perform a lymphangiogram to aid in the identification of the sentinel lymph node.
If the patient has a palpable breast cancer, then the radioactive material and blue dye can be injected by palpation. If, however, the cancerous tumor in the breast cannot be felt, a localization wire must be placed prior to the injection of radioactive material. This procedure entails placing a needle into the tumor while the breast is in compression (similar to a mammogram), and deploying a localization wire with a distal hook (to secure it into the breast) through the needle and into the breast.
For a routine surgical biopsy/lumpectomy, the needle is slowly withdrawn out of the breast leaving the localization wire in place localizing the breast cancer site. However, in order to inject the radioactive material and blue dye for the sentinel lymph node procedure, the needle must stay in place and not be removed. A disadvantage of leaving the needle in place is that the breast cannot be massaged following placement of the radioactive material and blue dye to enhance the uptake of injected material into the breast lymphatics. It also places the breast at greater risk of injury while the patient is being transported, for example, from a radiology department to an operating room. There is therefore a need for an improved procedure that will eliminate these disadvantages of the presently employed sentinel lymph node procedure.
The present invention is an improved system for sentinel lymph node localization. The present invention simplifies and enhances the safety of the standard sentinel node biopsy procedure by allowing placement of radioactive material and blue dye through a hollow localization wire. This eliminates the requirement that a needle stay in place for these phases of the biopsy procedure. The hollow wire is deployed through a needle and anchored in the breast similar to a regular wire localization procedure. After the needle is withdrawn, and with the hollow wire in place in the breast, a syringe receptor, such as a rotating hemostatic valve, is threaded into the proximal end of the wire to allow injection of the radioactive material and blue dye.
FIG. 1 is side elevational view of a hollow localization wire having a perforated region and an end hook;
FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of a hollow localization wire loading needle;
FIG. 3 is a detailed view of a Leur lock threaded into a hollow localization wire end; and
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a portion of the perforated region of a hollow localization wire.
FIG. 1 illustrates a hollow localization wire 1 constructed according to the principles of the invention. The invention is described in connection with a sentinel lymph node biopsy procedure of a patient's breast, but it will be understood that the method and device of the invention may be useful in other procedures. The localization wire 1 has a distal end 2 and at least one proximal end 3. The distal end 2 is placed at the location of targeted cancerous cells. A hook 4 integral with the hollow localization wire 1 at its distal end 2 is used to anchor the hollow localization wire 1 near the target cancerous cells in the patient's breast. A portion 5 of the hollow localization wire 1, generally near the distal end 2, contains perforations 6 which allow the release of radioactive material, blue dye, or other substances flowing through the hollow wire 1 into the tissues surrounding the patient's breast cancer. In the preferred embodiment, the hollow localization wire is carried by a loading needle 7 for insertion into the targeted area of the patient's breast. When the hollow localization wire 1 is inserted through the loading needle 7, the distal end hook 4 will be compressed and held in a constrained position generally parallel with the hollow localization wire 1. The distal end hook 4 will flex from its constrained position to an extended, anchoring position through spring action when released from the loading needle end 8. FIG. 1 illustrates this anchoring position.
After the hollow localization wire is anchored near the cancerous cells in the targeted area of the patient's breast, the loading needle 7 may be removed. After removal of the loading needle 7, the proximal end 3 of the hollow localization wire 1 remains exposed, outside of the patient's skin. A rotating hemostatic valve, such as syringe receptor 9, is affixed to the hollow localization wire proximal end 3. In the presently preferred embodiment, we have illustrated use of a Leur lock as the syringe receptor 9. The syringe receptor 9 is threaded into the proximal end 3 of the hollow localization wire 1 and is tightened or screwed into place.
FIG. 4 illustrates a detailed view of the perforated region 5 of the hollow localization wire 1 in the presently preferred embodiment. The perforated region 5 contains four openings such as perforations 6 in the wall of the hollow localization wire 1. These perforations 6 are located in a generally spiral pattern, each separated by 90 degrees of rotation. The invention may contain one or a plurality of perforations 6.
The preferred loading needle 8 is a 19 gauge needle with a length of 5, 7, or 9 cm. The preferred hollow localization wire 1 is a 0.035 inch, hollow, extruded wire with a length of 11, 15, or 20 cm. These lengths, gauges, and diameters are those currently preferred for use with the presently practiced procedure of sentinel lymph node localization in breast cancer patients. However, the invention is not limited to these specific dimensions. The present invention is described with specific reference to hollow localization wires for use in sentinel node localization in breast cancer patients and body types vary widely. Moreover, because the present invention can also be used in applications other than breast biopsy that require the localization of target regions and injection of tracers or other materials, sizes appropriate to the specific application, and the number and arrangement of perforations will necessarily vary from the disclosed preferred embodiment.
The preferred material for the components of the invention is any material suitable for temporary placement in the human body.
Having thus described the invention in connection with the preferred embodiments thereof, it will be evident to those skilled in the art that various revisions can be made to the preferred embodiments described herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. It is our intention, however, that all such revisions and modifications that are evident to those skilled in the art will be included within the scope of the following claims.
