Ice Cream, Please
My default flavor is salted caramel, but it's a real treat when I find fun, unique flavors. Strawberry balsamic, rhubarb & saffron champagne cocktail, and earl grey are a few flavors that I have had the pure pleasure of tasting, and I have made it one of missions in life to test as many interesting flavors as possible. But when it is tough to get myself to the ice cream shop or if the event calls for an at home treat, this little Talenti Gelato Sea Salt Caramel Pops does the trick.

You must learn about compiler, and its phases, Cousins, in programming Language
A compiler is an individual plan that procedure statement written in an exacting indoctrination language and turns them into machine language or code that a computer's processor utilizes. Characteristically, a programmer writes language declaration in programming software such as Pascal or C one line at a time by an editor. The file that is created encloses what are called the foundation statements. The programmer runs the suitable language compilers, state the name of the file that surrounded the basis statements.
When executing (running), the compiler first parses all of the programming software declaration syntactically one subsequent to the extra and then, in one or extra consecutive stages or passes, builds the output code, making sure that declaration that refer to other declaration are referred to properly in the final code. Traditionally, the output of the collection has been described as object code or sometimes an object part. The object regulations are machine code that the computer can execute one lesson at a time.
Phases of Compiler
Lexical analysis is primary stage of scanner works as a text scanner. These phases scan the basis code as a stream of font and exchange it into significant lexemes.
Syntax Analysis
The next phase is described the syntax analysis or parsing. It takes the token shaped through lexical analysis as contribution and generates a parse tree (or syntax tree). In this phase, token preparations are checkered beside the basis code grammar, i.e. the parser ensure if the appearance made by the tokens is syntactically accurate.
Semantic Analysis
Semantic analysis ensures whether the parse tree constructed follow the system of language. For example, task of values is among compatible data types, and addition string to an integer. Also, the semantic analyzer keeps track of identifiers, their kinds and expressions whether identifiers are affirmed previous to exercise or not etc. The semantic analyzer creates an elucidated syntax tree as a production.
Intermediate Code Generation
After semantic analysis the compiler generates an intermediate code of the basis code for the target machine. It symbolizes a plan for some theoretical machine. It is in flanked by the high-level language and the machine language. This intermediate code should be produced in such a way that it creates it easier to be interpreting into the objective machine code.
Code Optimization
The next stage does code optimization of the intermediate code. Optimization can be unspecified as amazing that eliminates redundant code lines, and assembles the series of declaration in sort to rate up the plan implementation devoid of wasting resources (CPU, memory).
Code Generation
In this phase, the code generator obtains the optimized depiction of the intermediate code and maps it to the target machine language. The code generator interprets the middle code into a sequence of (generally) re-locatable machine code. Code generator is sequence of instructions of machine code executes the assignment as the intermediate code would do.
Symbol Table
It is a data structure preserve all through all the phases of a compiler. All the identifier's names along by their category are store here. The symbol table makes it easier for the compiler to quickly search the identifier record and repossess it. The symbol table is too used for range organization.
Cousins of Compiler
Cousins of compiler are as follows-
A pre-processor is a program that procedure its input data to create output that is used as input to another program. The production is said to be a pre-processed form of the input data, which is often used with some subsequent programs like compilers. The pre-processor is performing before the actual compilation of code begins, therefore the pre-processor digest all these orders before any code is produced by the statements. There are two types of pre-processors.
Macro Processing — a macro processor is a program that copies a stream of text from one put to another, creation a systematic set of substitutes as it does so. Macro processors are often entrenched in preceding programs, such as assemblers and compilers. From time to occasion they are standalone programs that can be used to procedure any type of text.
File Inclusion — File inclusion susceptibility is a kind of susceptibility that is most usually found to affect web request that rely on a scripting sprint time.
An assembler is a program that obtains basic processor orders and converts them into a pattern of bits that the computer's processor can use to execute its essential operations. Some people call these orders assembler language and others utilize the expression assembly language.
In high level languages, or several built in header files or libraries are accumulated. These libraries are predefined and these enclose essential functions which are indispensable for performing the program. These roles are linked to the libraries by a programming software describe Linker. If linker does not discover a documentation of a purpose then it informs to compiler and then compiler produce an error.
The compiler routinely invokes the linker as the previous step in accumulate a program. Not construct in libraries, it also links the consumer distinct functions to the consumer defined libraries. Usually a longer program is alienated into lesser subprograms called modules. And these components must be mutual to perform the program. The process of combine the component is complete with the linker.
Loader is a program that many mechanism codes of a program into the system reminiscence. In Computing, a loader is the element of an Operating System that is accountable for loading programs. In the programming software it is one of the necessary stages in the procedure of preliminary a program. Because it places programs into memory and organizes them for implementation. Loading a program occupy reading the contents of executable file into memory. Once loading is absolute, the operating system starts the program with passing control to the loaded program policy. All operational systems that sustain program loading have loaders. In several operating systems the loader is enduringly occupant in memory.

It's a wild weather day here on the Weekapaug coast. The northeast wind is whistling down the pond, driving sheets of heavy rain against the windows and doors. Yesterday it was 27-degrees and overcast, though quite still. Tiny snowflakes drifted by, from time to time, and had the temperature held below freezing they would have increased one thousand fold today with the storm and we would be in the midst of a blizzard. As is so often the case, however, the shoreline is on the liquid side of the rain/snow line.
Meanwhile it's a lovely day to be inside. Upstairs in the Searoom, a small group is holding a business meeting; below, in the dining room, a group of ladies are having a book club meeting and lunch by the fireplace. One end of their table feels the warmth of the fire, while those at the other end have an unobstructed window view – rain running down the pane, tall dry grasses bending to the gale and whitecaps marching down the bay. If I were they, I would be in no hurry to leave today. The fire and the holiday decorations make the Inn a warm and cozy place on a nasty afternoon such as this.
On the way in earlier, I pulled into a driveway along the beach to have a look out to sea. Wintertime northeast storms will often hollow the beach out and such was the case today. Waves were running up to the dunes, and the broad sandy expanse that bathers enjoyed all summer was mostly awash.. and the tide wasn't even high! The north-northeast angle of the wind was holding the crushing waves off shore, but at the same time it ripped the curl off wave tops and flung the spray seaward – frothy white foam against the green of a winter sea. Such is the winter beach. Come spring the weather patterns will shift and sand will be pushed back ashore making abundant room for beach towels and chairs.
For some reason, stormy late fall days like today often bring gannets close to shore. Gannets are large birds of the open sea (the largest sea bird in the north Atlantic) and are closely related to boobies. They soar on long black-tipped wings and follow schools of herring. When shoaling schools come close to the surface, the big birds fold their wings and drop like bolts from the sky, plunging headfirst into the water and throwing up a 6-foot plume in the process. Standing atop the seawall I watched a hard-working flock pounding the waves not far offshore.
Gannets weren't the only ones hard at work on the waves. Around the corner, in the more sheltered cove under the overlook, two surfers were suited up and making the most of the big ocean swell. They were fun to watch, and appeared to be having a fine time, but for most of us the Inn is just the place to be on such a stormy Rhode Island day. A cup of coffee, a bowl of chowda, and a crackling fire by which to warm your bones.

Standards Battles and Design Dominance - BluRay vs DVDs
What factors do you think influenced -
Network externalities is a big factor – value of good increases with no. of people using same/similar goods.
Installed base: the most important; size of installed base (people buy on this basis , test the technology then they come to know of the technological value)
high perceived and anticipated technological value of BluRay (blue ray was considered more advanced).
Sony was first to get BluRay format in its Console (ps3).
Why do you think Toshiba and Sony would not corporate to produce a common standard
They wanted to achieve dominant design status (50% or more of market). That would result in achieving winner takes all market
It helps to earn huge rewards and dominate product market (natural monopoly)
Firms can influence future generations of product (shape the evolution)
Receive royalties through patents (Sony already had to pay for DVDs )
The learning effect (more technology adopted, the better it becomes – as one can invest in R&D)
If HD-DVD had not pulled out of the market, would the market have selected a single winner or would both formats have survived
They could have survived, if they had developed a compatibility standard that could accept each other 's disk for example- A compatibility standard should have been introduced by Toshiba s (HD-DVD) to satisfy Sony's Time needs on the Blu-ray Disc
But both did not survive. The big influence on this came from Time Warner's decision at end moment to go for one of the two formats. Also Had a clear winner not emerged; due to fight against blu ray and DVD HD; a third party (download movies online) could have won the final battle!
Having a single video format has its own benefits and disadvantages for consumers
Consumers had to face the brunt of VHS v/s Betamax
More option of complementary goods
Network externality benefits to customers rise with cumulative market share
A Potential for monopoly costs to customers
Consumer electronic goods producers are in a more favorable position as they have to produce complementary goods for just one of the two formats (economies of scale)
Movie producers may have to face cost for expensive technology, and maybe lesser innovations
But the power of movie producers might push for innovations!
Increasing returns to adoption
Opted for BluRay when Warner bros defected to Sony's BluRay
From a seemingly lost position, Sony were able to tilt the market with one well-timed strategic move: the payment of 500 million to Warner Bros (Pruitt, 2008).
Movie Producers:
Standalone technological value: BluRay was a superior technology, thus its clarity was much more brilliant.
The situation in 2008
Does having a single video format standard benefit or hurt consumers? Does it benefit or hurt consumer electronic producers? Does it benefit or hurt movie producers?

ASICS GT-2000 2 already provided good stability and cushioning to mild overpronators. ASICS GT-2000 3 takes this a step further with more support, comfort, and softness...
NEW! ASICS GT-2000 5 vs. ASICS GT-2000 6
The ASICS GT-2000 3 is the upgraded version of the ASICS GT-2000 2, which is a running shoe for neutral runners to mild overpronators.
ASICS wanted to really open up the forefoot in the ASICS GT-2000 3 to provide more room and use less stitched-on overlays to avoid irritation.
And when you compare the uppers, you can see that the ASICS logo has shifted a little towards the back of the ASICS GT-2000 3 and that the overlays on the lateral side of the shoe are almost all no-sew, but that ASICS maintained the stitched-on overlays on the medial side to provide the support that overpronators need in the upper.
So the toe box of the ASICS GT-2000 3 should feel a bit roomier than that of the ASICS GT-2000 2, if not a bit less constricted.
In addition, ASICS added a new heel counter at the back of the ASICS GT-2000 3. So the ASICS GT-2000 3 should provide you with a firmer lock down around the heel.
The midsole of the ASICS GT-2000 2 has also been updated in the ASICS GT-2000 3. It has a new FluidRide midsole that is somewhat lighter, but that still has bounce back and cushioning properties.
And there is still GEL cushioning in the heel and in the forefoot, but if you look closely at the lateral side of the heel of the ASICS GT-2000 3, you can see that the GEL is sandwiched between two layers of foam – the top one being the softest – and more or less oozing out of the midsole.
This is a good indication that ASICS upped the heel cushioning a bit, so you can expect to get much softer landings from the ASICS GT-2000 3 than you did previously from the ASICS GT-2000 2.
When you turn to the medial side of the shoe, you can also see that the medial post in the midsole under the arch that is used to control pronation, now extends more towards the top of the midsole than it did in the ASICS GT-2000 2 and that the softest layer of foam right under the foot is thinner in that area.
This is a good indication that ASICS also upped the amount of pronation control provided by the ASICS GT-2000 3, so the ASICS GT-2000 3 offers way more support than the ASICS GT-2000 2.
The Guidance Trusstic System has also been updated in the ASICS GT-2000 3. There is a new midfoot shank that should provide you with better structural midfoot support and torsion, as well as a new Guidance Line that should better enhance your gait and provide you with the ultimate ride.
The rubber lugs under the heel of the ASICS GT-2000 3 are more segmented than those under the ASICS GT-2000 2. In the ASICS GT-2000 2 there are four rubber compartments under the heel. The ASICS GT-2000 3 also has four, but two of them have been cut to make them six in total. This should provide you with better shock absorption at heel-strike, so overall smoother landings.
The layout of the rubber lugs in the forefoot also changed somewhat due to the new Guidance Line. And while the amount of horizontal flex grooves have remained the same in the ASICS GT-2000 3, the rubber lugs have been cut differently crosswise instead of horizontally and vertically, which does not encourage flexibility.
And running shoe lab tests have shown that the ASICS GT-2000 3 is much stiffer than the ASICS GT-2000 2.
The height of the ASICS GT-2000 3 has also changed a bit. It sits about 1 to 2 mm higher off the road in the heel and 2 mm higher off the ground in the forefoot. So you can expect to get more protection from the road when running in the ASICS GT-2000 3.
The women's version of the ASICS GT-2000 2 weighs approximately 9.2 oz (261 grams) and the ASICS GT-2000 3 for women weighs 9.1 oz (258 grams). The men's versions of the shoes weigh 11.0 oz (312 grams) and 11.1 oz (315 grams), respectively.
The ASICS GT-2000 3 offers much more stability, support, and cushioning than the ASICS GT-2000 2. Except for perhaps the increase in stiffness, almost all of the changes can be seen as positive. And for the same price as the ASICS GT-2000 2, the ASICS GT-2000 3 is hard to pass up on.
The ASICS GT-2000 3 is a good high-mileage trainer that can be worn on a daily basis, because it's just comfortable, cushy, and stable.
Note: The weight of a running shoe depends on the size of the running shoe, so any weights mentioned in this review may differ from the weight of the running shoe you choose to wear. Running shoes of the same size were compared for this review.

Legal History
This Article challenges the conventional narrative about the political question doctrine. Scholars commonly assert that the doctrine, which instructs that certain constitutional questions are "committed" to Congress or to the executive branch, has been part of our constitutional system since the early nineteenth century. Furthermore, scholars argue that the doctrine is at odds with the current Supreme Court's view of itself as the "supreme expositor" of all constitutional questions. This Article calls into question both claims. The Article demonstrates, first, that the current political question doctrine does not have the historical pedigree that scholars attribute to it. In the nineteenth century, "political questions" were not constitutional questions but instead were factual determinations made by the political branches that courts treated as conclusive in the course of deciding cases. Second, when the current doctrine was finally created in the mid-twentieth century, the Supreme Court used it to entrench, rather than to undermine, the Court's emerging supremacy over constitutional law. Under the current doctrine, the Court asserts for itself the power to decide which institution decides any constitutional question. With control over that first-order question, the Court can conclude not only that an issue is textually committed to a political branch but also that an issue is committed to the Court itself. This analysis turns on its head the assumption of scholars that the current doctrine is at odds with judicial supremacy. The modern political question doctrine is a species of—not a limitation on—judicial supremacy.
The American labor movement is in trouble. As union density declines and worker organizing becomes more difficult, a relatively new model, the worker center, has emerged to organize low-wage immigrant workers. Worker centers devise a broad range of strategies and internal structures to meet the challenges of the contemporary organizing landscape, and these strategies would not be possible were worker centers considered labor organizations under labor law. Recently, anti-union groups and members of Congress have shifted focus to worker centers, urging that they be regulated under the National Labor Relations Act. By examining the history of labor law and the structure of worker centers, this Note argues that regulation of worker centers under the NLRA would be inappropriate, ahistorical, and an unreasonable restriction on the associational rights of workers.
This Note argues that both Jewish and American law express skepticism about self-incriminating statements based on concerns of reliability, respect for the individual, and the religious belief that confessions can be offered only to God. However, both traditions also recognize that certain circumstances necessitate the use of self-incriminating statements. This Note compares the two traditions to unearth a deep tension within legal and cultural conceptions of self-incrimination and confession. Specifically, the Note proposes that both Jewish and American law reflect conflicting desires—to simultaneously accept and reject self-incriminating statements. On the one hand, confessions appear to be powerful evidence of guilt, as well as a helpful part of the process of punishing and rehabilitating criminal offenders. On the other hand, confessions uncomfortably turn the accused into his own accuser, raising concerns about whether the confession was the result of unreliable internal self-destructive instincts or external coercion. Future decisions involving self-incriminating statements must be made with an awareness of both the benefits and the hazards of utilizing such statements.
In recent years, the Supreme Court has increasingly made "reasonableness" the central inquiry of whether a search or seizure is constitutional under the Fourth Amendment. The rise of the reasonableness approach has coincided with originalist scholarship that claims this interpretation is more consistent with the Amendment's text and history. This Note looks at Framing-era search-and-seizure practice and argues that the Court's modern reasonableness interpretation is, in fact, ahistorical and inconsistent with Framing-era practice and the Amendment's original understanding. Not only is there scant evidence that the legality of searches and seizures turned on their reasonableness during the Framing era, but the arguments made in favor of the Court's modern reasonableness approach are based on flawed historical assumptions. As a result, the Court's various applications of its reasonableness interpretation are all inconsistent with Framing-era practice and the Amendment's original understanding.
The impediments to property acquisition and market success among African Americans are a significant area of inquiry in legal scholarship. The prevailing narrative on the historical relationship between Blacks and property is overwhelmingly focused on loss. However, in the political science, economics, and sociology literatures there is a countervailing narrative of successful property acquisition and retention among what might be termed a "market dominant" subset of migrant Blacks. The most successful subset of Black property owners in the United States today are descendants of Black migrants who were enslaved outside the United States. These free Black migrants, overwhelmingly British subjects originating from the West Indies, are largely invisible in the legal scholarship. Questions have arisen in other disciplines about what differentiated this subset of Black people. Why was their experience of property ownership so different?
Debates in the sociology, political economy, and political science literature have often focused on what Francis Fukuyama has controversially termed "cultural questions," namely, the view that early West Indian migrants—like Korean or Japanese migrants—possessed a particular set of cultural traits that were distinctly well suited to asset acquisition. This Article focuses on a far more prosaic rationale, contending that the success of West Indian migrants may be rooted in the early grant of what I term "de facto property and contract rights" to West Indian slaves, which allowed their freedmen descendants to become the largest independent Black peasantry in the Americas. Between 1880 and 1924, U.S. immigration officials may have inadvertently selected for propertied migrant "types" when admitting immigrants. Through their own historical exposure to property and contract rights frameworks in the West Indies, as well as internal communal networks which supported informal banking schemes, these Blacks were particularly well placed to take advantage of opportunities for home and business ownership upon arrival in the United States.
The broader point is that there is a glaring omission amidst the "cultural" controversy: What about law? I use the term "law" in this context as it is used by many proponents of new institutional economics, as a proxy for an institutional frame- work that supports property acquisition, regardless of whether this framework is formal (state-supported) or customary. Moreover, the law and economics scholar- ship has focused extensively on institutional frameworks that allow certain religious and ethnic groups to dominate particular sectors, such as Orthodox Jews in the diamond industry or Koreans in the grocery sector. The insights of this literature allow us to interrogate whether Black West Indians had early access to institutions that facilitated contracting and property ownership and if so, whether this institutional history might contribute to their long-term asset acquisition patterns. The question necessarily arises: Why would we think of Black migrants any differently from the way we think of other ethnic and religious minorities who have been successful asset acquirers?
Who should own a federal judge's papers? This question has rarely been asked. Instead, it has generally been accepted that the Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court and other federal judges own their working papers, which include papers created by judges relating to their official duties, such as internal draft opinions, confidential vote sheets, and case-related correspondence. This longstanding tradition of private ownership has led to tremendous inconsistency. For example, Justice Thurgood Marshall's papers were released just two years after he left the bench, revealing behind-the-scenes details about major cases involving issues such as abortion and flag burning. In contrast, Justice David Souter's papers will remain closed until the fiftieth anniversary of his retirement, and substantial portions of Justice Byron White's papers, including files relating to the landmark case of Miranda v. Arizona, were shredded. In addition, many collections of lower federal court judges' papers have been scattered in the hands of judges' families. Notably, this private ownership model has persisted despite the fact that our country's treatment of presidential records shifted from private to public ownership through the Presidential Records Act of 1978. Furthermore, private ownership of judicial papers has endured even though it has proven ill-equipped to balance the many competing interests at stake, ranging from calls for governmental accountability and transparency on the one hand, to the judiciary's independence, collegiality, confidentiality, and integrity on the other.
This Article is the first to give significant attention to the question of who should own federal judges' working papers and what should happen to the papers once a judge leaves the bench. Upon the thirty-fifth anniversary of the enactment of the Presidential Records Act, this Article argues that judges' working papers should be treated as governmental property—just as presidential papers are. Although there are important differences between the roles of president and judge, none of the differences suggest that judicial papers should be treated as a species of private property. Rather than counseling in favor of private ownership, the unique position of federal judges, including the judiciary's independence in our constitutional design, suggests the advisability of crafting rules that speak to reasonable access to and disposition of judicial papers. Ultimately, this Article—giving renewed attention to a long-forgotten 1977 governmental study commissioned by Congress—argues that Congress should declare judicial papers public property and should empower the judiciary to promulgate rules implementing the shift to public ownership. These would include, for example, rules governing the timing of public release of judicial papers. By involving the judiciary in implementing the shift to public ownership, Congress would enhance the likelihood of judicial cooperation, mitigate separation of powers concerns, and enable the judiciary to safeguard judicial independence, collegiality, confidentiality, and integrity.
The determinacy revolution in federal sentencing, which culminated in the passage of the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984, has since been upended by a little-noticed phenomenon: the evolution of federal supervised release. A "determinate" sentencing regime requires that prison terms be of fixed and absolute duration at the time of sentencing. Because of the manner in which supervised release now operates, however, contemporary federal prison terms are neither fixed nor absolute. Instead, the court has discretion to adjust the length of a prison term after sentencing based on its evaluation of the post-judgment progress of the offender. This power to amend the duration of the penalty is the classic marker of the "indeterminate" sentence.
In this Article, I show how federal supervised release has dismantled the ambitions of the determinacy movement and made federal prison terms structurally indeterminate in length. I conclude that the widespread use of supervised release has created a muddled and unprincipled form of indeterminate sentencing: one that flouts the insights and vision of the nineteenth-century indeterminacy movement as well as the twentieth-century determinacy movement. Having dislocated once-celebrated theories of sentencing, federal supervised release now controls the lives of more than 100,000 people without offering any alternative theoretical basis for doing so. This Article draws on the lessons of a 200 year history to expose the current nature of supervised release and to envision a more coherent role for its future.
This Note seeks to demonstrate the ripeness of early American legal periodicals as a subject of further inquiry by reading the American Law Journal (1808–1817), the first American law review, as a reflection of the changing nature of the legal profession at a crucial time in American history. Close analysis of the content and editorial choices of the journal suggests that the journal both reflects and addresses three early nineteenth century professional needs: the need to practice in a variety of jurisdictions and areas of law; the need to give voice and content to the emerging idea of a professional self-consciousness, which some scholars suggest developed only later in the century; and the need to respond to the internationalization of American legal and political affairs, which undercuts the arguments of many legal historians that the period marked an increasing tendency in American jurisprudence to look inward. The few scholars who have attempted to paint a picture of legal affairs in this transformative period have typically focused on the dockets of particular jurisdictions while overlooking legal periodicals. However, such sources can more accurately portray the state of the national legal profession given that a journal editor, unconstrained by state or regional boundaries, can incorporate cases and sources from a wide range of jurisdictions and on a varied array of topics. Furthermore, the fact that periodicals are necessarily dependent on a subscriber base suggests that such editors had to touch on issues of interest to subscribers from all across the country in order to stay afloat.
Although stare decisis is a firmly established doctrine tracing its roots to fifteenthcentury English common law, the Rehnquist Court developed it in remarkable ways. The Court's decisions effectively made liberty considerations an important stare decisis factor in constitutional cases. Where prior decisions took an expansive view of the liberty protections of the Constitution, they were more likely to be upheld, and vice versa. This Note analyzes this development, perhaps best exemplified by the differing outcomes in Casey and Lawrence, as well as its implications for the future jurisprudence of the Supreme Court.

Essential Treatment Tips For Flexible Flatfoot
The treatment of symptomatic flexible pes planovalgus is a topic that stirs up considerable controversy among practitioners. This is especially true in the pediatric arena where there is a common belief that the child will "grow out of it." For many foot specialists who see the damaging effects of excessive pronation among adults, the realization is all too obvious that much of this pathology can be curbed if it is addressed in childhood. Shockingly, some even deny the existence of the condition. Etiological factors of flexible pes planovalgus fall into two broad categories: pediatric and adult. Pediatric flexible pes planovalgus is typically congenital. Torsional abnormalities, muscular imbalance, ligamentous laxity, neuropathy, obesity, agenesis of the sustentaculum tali, calcaneovalgus, equinus, varus or valgus tibia, compensated forefoot varus, limb length discrepancy and os tibiale externum are just some of the possible causes. On the other hand, adult flexible pes planovalgus is nearly always an acquired condition that is often secondary to posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD). In this circumstance, the clinical presentation is synonymous with a Johnson and Strom late stage I and stage II. Biomechanically, the condition hinges around the cornerstone of peritalar subluxation. Peritalar subluxation occurs secondarily to excessive pronation of the subtalar joint, which is often associated with posterior contractures of the triceps surae. The foot functions on a maximally pronated subtalar joint which, upon weightbearing, unlocks the midtarsal joint. This results in an unstable forefoot, making efficient weightbearing and load transfer impossible. The forefoot proceeds to dorsiflex on a plantarflexing rearfoot, which leads to collapse of the arch. The concept of planal dominance should be addressed. A high subtalar joint axis will primarily compensate in the transverse plane. Conversely, the low subtalar joint axis will compensate more in the frontal plane. Reviewing Pertinent Diagnostic Findings Understanding the clinical presentation of the flexible pes planovalgus is paramount when it comes to appropriate treatment selection. A closed kinetic chain exam will reveal collapse of the longitudinal arch with concomitant internal tibial rotation, heel valgus and forefoot abduction. You'll see tibial rotation during the gait examination as demonstrated by patellar "squinting" or medial deviation through the midline. Often, you'll observe medial talar bulging. You may also see pronation continue throughout midstance with little resupination. The "too many toes sign," as described by Johnson, is indicative of the forefoot abduction.1 You should also note a positive Hubscher maneuver. An open kinetic chain examination often will demonstrate an arch while subtalar joint range of motion will display excessive eversion. In the case of PTTD, you will surely note edema and pain along the posterior tibial tendon course. You may see radiographic deviations of some or perhaps all of the following angles: talocalcaneal (Kite's), cuboid adduction, talometatarsal angle and talonavicular congruity. Lateral radiographs will show deviations in calcaneal inclination, lateral talocalcaneal, talar declination, Meary's angle, cyma line break and medial column sag at the talonavicular and/or naviculocuneiform joints. Axial projections may demonstrate calcaneal valgus and you should use them to rule out ankle valgus, which may have a similar presentation. In the juvenile or the adult patient, you may also note adaptive changes due to the deforming pronatory forces. Taking A Closer Look At Potential Orthotic Solutions With an understanding of the preceding review of flexible pes planovalgus, you can now consider the treatment options. Initially, we will look at the functional foot orthosis as described by Root. This device is designed to place the subtalar joint in its neutral position via rigid control of the rearfoot and allowing the foot to function around this neutral joint. This modality is an excellent starting point for the supple deformity. However, you should not post all the supinatus deformity out of the pediatric device as this may encourage the forefoot to mature in this supinated position. As opposed to the functional foot orthosis, which can only function during stance, an ankle foot orthosis (AFO) can function in stance and throughout the swing phase as well. Unlike the foot orthosis, the AFO can provide direct control on the ankle and the tibia. The AFO also applies forces above and below the axis of rotation of the rearfoot throughout the entire gait cycle. One situation where the AFO has proven more efficacious than the traditional foot orthosis is in the treatment of late stage II PTTD. At this point, a disruption in the ligamentous attachments between the foot and the leg has occurred. Therefore, the ability of the traditional foot orthotic to direct the ground reactive force to stabilize against the resulting internal tibial rotation is greatly challenged.2 However, the AFO excels in this regard. Functional orthoses are best used in patients over the age of six when a flexible deformity becomes adaptively more rigid and a supinatus has formed in the forefoot to rearfoot relationship. You can effectively use heel stabilizers in younger patients from the time walking starts until about the age of three to four. You can modify the forefoot of the device to induce in-toe (Type B) or out-toe (Type C) as well as treat forefoot supinatus (Type A) or splayfoot (Type D). Roberts or Whitman-Roberts devices offer another alternative for patients ranging in age from five to 10. These are "active" devices in that flanges irritate the foot in gait to initiate active supination during the gait cycle. You can modify the Roberts devices to induce out-toeing as well (Reverse Roberts). These orthoses are made around a "rectus" cast that enables you to maintain the rearfoot in neutral and reduce the forefoot deformity while casting. This prevents a forefoot supinatus from becoming a fixed varus deformity as the child grows. When You Should Consider Surgical Treatment When external support and stabilization by either a functional foot orthosis or AFO proves inadequate in treating flexible pes planovalgus, you should consider surgical intervention. When you're treating the juvenile patient or the adult with minimal adaptation and/or degeneration, a subtalar joint arthroereisis is the next logical step in the treatment continuum. Subtalar arthroereisis is a time-tested therapeutic option that has been finely revised over its beginnings in 1946 with Chambers. Several implant designs are currently on the market. All work under the similar principle of limiting excess pronation without limiting the necessary subtalar joint range of motion. However, each design offers slight nuances in form and function. The implants most commonly used at this time are the STA-Peg (Dow Corning), MBA (KMI) and Kalix (New Deal). While arthroereisis procedures can be utilized alone, they are usually combined with ancillary heel cord lengthening and/or medial arch stabilizing procedures. Arthroeresis, when compared to arthrodesis and osteotomy combinations, is reversible with little residual sequelae if the patient does not tolerate the procedure. Weighing The Pros And Cons Of Commonly Used Implants Arthroeresis selection can be difficult. The Lundeen Subtalar Implant (Sgarlato Labs) is a design that is derivative of the original device created by Steve Smith, DPM. The Lundeen device offers three sizes to help ensure better fit in the calcaneal sulcus and the superior surface of the device was angled at 6 degrees to better block motion of the lateral talar process on the implant. In addition, the stem of the device was enlarged to fit a 3/16-inch drill hole in the floor of the sinus tarsi. This allows you to "press fit" the implant in the calcaneus and obviates the need for polymethylmethacrylate cement. The implant itself is milled from a block of ultra high-density polyethylene (UHDPE). A study was performed on 49 patients and 96 feet with an average 46-month follow-up.3 Researchers reported 78 percent good results (resolution of symptoms and no deformity). The remainder of the study consisted of 19 percent fair results (resolution of symptoms, but residual deformity) and 3 percent poor results (residual symptoms and deformity). It must be noted that out of the three poor results, two patients suffered from trauma unrelated to the procedure and the third had a loose implant, which was resolved with re-implantation.3 The MBA prosthesis is easier to use than the STA-Peg, is placed into the sinus tarsi through a smaller incision and does not require opening of the subtalar joint, nor does it come in direct contact with the joint. Radiographic-guided placement makes it easier as well. When treating adult patients, Maxwell recommends that the MBA not be a solitary procedure and that you should always direct attention toward the medial column intraoperatively.4 However, be aware that problems can arise as the device is cylindrical in shape, making it somewhat prone for loosening or lateral extrusion upon weightbearing. It can also present a problem when you're trying to control excess pronation following the resection of a CN bar or in a very hypermobile flatfoot deformity. You know the phrase, "easy in, easy out." The Kalix prosthesis, on the other hand, is more difficult to insert (it has a higher learning curve) but is more anatomical in its fit into the sinus tarsi, and is harder to displace or extract. There are two ways to insert the device. You can fill the lateral opening of the sinus tarsi with the implant, as most European surgeons do, or use a smaller device and place it under the talar neck. We prefer the latter method as the device is more stable in its placement and offers a higher degree of control of the total range of subtalar motion, especially eversion. At our institution, we have inserted 41 Kalix implants to date with only one reported complication. One patient suffered from lateral impingement pain and was treated conservatively with a corticosteroid injection and orthotic therapy. No implants have been removed to date. Other Key Treatment Considerations When significant joint adaptation and/or degeneration have occurred, arthroereisis is no longer a viable option unless one uses the procedure to block most of the subtalar motion in order to prevent a fusion. In these cases, you can employ the arthroeresis to control the rearfoot and then use combinations of arthrodeses and/or osteotomies to control the mid- and forefoot. It should be mentioned that if significant joint degeneration is present, you are no longer dealing with a flexible pes plano valgus, but a rigid deformity which requires various osteotomy and arthrodesis procedures. When you're dealing with semi-rigid deformities or partially compensated deformities that are still reducible, you need to take a different approach. One can often treat these with a combination of a calcaneal osteotomy (Evans), medial column procedure (navicular cuneiform or Lapidus fusions), heel cord lengthening (endoscopic gastroc recession) and tendon transfer (FDT to PT tendon transfer). Common calcaneal osteotomies, such as the Dwyer and the Koutsogiannis, can be employed to medialize the calcaneus out of valgus and return the pull of the triceps to a supinatory force. Medial column procedures often consist of talonavicular or Miller types of arthrodesis. These procedures correct for any medial column fault and help restore the arch. Heel cord lengthening comes in the form of either a tendo Achilles lengthening or some type of gastrocnemius recession to release the deforming force of the equinus. You can perform the Young tenosuspension to help restore the longitudinal arch but soft tissue correction alone is rarely used. Invariably, you can obtain the best results by performing an arthroeresis or arthrodesis along with different types of soft tissue procedures. Common tendon transfers include the flexor digitorum longus to posterior tibial tendon transfer (thereby increasing the diameter of the PT tendon, which increases its mechanical pull) and the Cobb procedure. Both of these procedures are utilized when one is dealing with an attenuated posterior tibial tendon. The Kidner procedure is often combined with the tendon transfer to redirect the pull of the posterior tibial tendon. When dealing with a primarily transverse plane or high subtalar joint axis presentation, then you should consider the Evans procedure. You should also consider using the Evans procedure if the midtarsal joint is unable to lock when the subtalar joint is in its realigned position. While we cannot comfortably recommend one particular combination, we do encourage you to mold the procedure selection around the patient's pathomechanics. In Conclusion There is no doubt that every practitioner sees these patients on an all too regular basis. While the preceding paragraphs are not an exhaustive discussion on the topic of flexible pes planovalgus, the article does reflect our approach and treatment rationale when we are confronted with such a clinical scenario. Hopefully, this will be a catalyst for further study of this condition. Dr. Lundeen is Residency Director of the Winona Hospital Podiatric Residency Program in Indianapolis, Ind.

Everyday thousands of people visit the Angkor temple complex in Cambodia.
Is it still possible to take a photo at Ta Prohm without someone striking a Tomb Raider pose in the background?
Or amazing yourself over one of the smiling faces at the Bayon temple without having somebody nozing up to it ? Or what about seeing the Angkor Wat sunset or sunrise alone? You might get lucky if you pick your moment but if you really want to avoid the crowds there is another way.
If you are up for some adventure you should go for Beng Mealea where you can roam the jungle ruins by yourself. Let me convince you using a Lonely Planet statement: "Angkor's ultimate Indiana Jones experience. Nature has well and truly run riot here"
Beng Mealea is a one hour drive outside the main Angkor sites and thus less visited. I left all luxury behind for one night to have the place truly for myself. Here's how :
– Get a good guide who is "friendly" with the temple guards. (get those dollars out) Contact us if you are interested in getting a guide that can take you.
– Arrive after dark at the temple and walk via a jungle path to the guards watchhouse. (flashlights come in handy !)
– Share a greasy sandwich and an Angkor beer with your guide.
– Try sleeping in your US Army hammocks (ask your guide to bring these as sleeping on the ground is less comfortabel) at the guards watch house just beside the temple.
Now Get up before sunrise and see the temple in all it's beauty and all by yourself !

I recently gave a lecture at a seminar series sponsored by my alma mater. The topic was "A Guide for Potential Board Members: Due Diligence." The room was overflowing with folks eager to learn more about the benefits of serving on a board and the benefits that they could bring to a given nonprofit. I typically poll the audience informally before I start my presentation, and was very surprised to learn that most of the them had given very little thought as to what the nonprofit should bring to them.
I know they were surprised to learn that volunteering their time on a board is a two-way street, and that they should do due diligence to learn the following:
- why am I being recruited?
- how long is my term?
- what is the work style of this board? Is it a "working" board where I will be expected to fulfill a role that might be done by paid staff in a larger organization? Is it an advisory board, where one gives input but not much else? Perhaps it's a blend of oversight and hands-on.
- how and where are meetings held? Are they on site? Across the country, or virtual? How often does the board meet? How is business conducted between meetings? How much time will I be expected to devote to board business?
- is there a cost associated with attending meetings? Are board members reimbursed for travel expenses? Is there an honorarium?
- is there an expectation of a specific donation to the organization? Will I be expected to be engaged directly in fundraising?
- is the organization financially healthy? Is the organization willing to disclose all of its financial information?
- is there adequate Directors and Officers (D&O) insurance to protect board members in case of a lawsuit or other disaster?
- does the organization have a good training program for new directors?
- how formal or informal is the board? Check that against your own preferences and needs.
I also wanted to let them know about the "board member's Bill of Rights."
As a board member, you have the right to:
- full and proper training
- full disclosure before voting on any issue.
- a safe and secure environment in which to conduct meetings.
- to insist that the organization engage outside expertise when needed.
- that the organization carry sufficient general liability and directors and officer insurance to ensure that the organization and the directors are indemnified against risk.
What should you do if you feel uncomfortable or feel that your rights are being violated? "Resign. If you find yourself on a board that is clearly not a good fit, resign — or at the very least, do not renew your term. It's better than banging your head against the wall."

Nature Watch
By Susan Thurn,
Cable Natural History Museum
This past week my parents have had a special visitor at their bird feeders. It began for them as a flash of slightly different colors – a rusty head and rump, gray underneath, with two white wing bars. Out came their bird field guide to identify their guests as pine grosbeaks, and in this case my parents have been hosting first-year males.
Pine grosbeaks spend most of their time in the boreal forests of Canada, but their wintering areas are determined by food availability. When food decreases, they move to find the food, creating what we call winter irruptions. These irruptions are not common and are irregular for pine grosbeaks.
Pine grosbeaks flock together in winter, and they often frequent a fruit or berry tree until all of it is consumed. They eat through the fruits by biting it with their sharp pointed beak, discarding the pulp, and crushing the seed. Most of their diet is made up of plants, including buds, seeds, and seeds or fruit of spruce, pine, maple, apple, mountain ash, juniper and grass and weed seeds. They are also awkward flycatchers, catching insects, or even spiders. A breeding pine grosbeak develops pouches in the floor of its mouth for carrying insect and plant food to its young. They also eat snow or drink water every day.
Not as much information is available about pine grosbeaks. Even their populations are not well-known because it is difficult to gather data on this species. The boreal forests of Canada are believed to host most of the entire breeding population of pine grosbeaks and some other boreal bird species. Pine grosbeak irruptions are usually in intervals of five to twenty-five years. How lucky any of us are to have this bird species visit our back yards!
For over 42 years, the Museum has served as a guide and mentor to generations of visitors and residents interested in learning to better appreciate and care for the extraordinary natural resources of the region. The Museum invites you to visit its facility and exhibit, "In a New Light" photographic exhibit focused on the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. Find it in Cable at 13470 County Highway M. Also discover us on the web at www.cablemuseum.org, on Facebook, or at our blogspot, http://cablemuseumnaturewatch.blogspot.com/ to learn more about our exhibits and programs.

Kanye West Loves Family Life But Stresses That He'll Become 'Al Bundy'
Even though Kanye West has established a family life with wife Kim Kardashian, little North — and a new baby on the way! — the hip hop superstar is afraid fatherhood might be cramping his style.
With the majority of his time dedicated to Kim Kardashian, 34, and their adorable 2-year-old daughter North, Kanye West, 38, has quickly fallen into the role of doting dad and husband. But a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that the "Only One" singer is getting antsy from all his daddy duties and just wants to put them on pause — before he ends up like the classic, dorky dad Al Bundy from '90s sitcom Married With Children. Yikes!
"Kanye wants a get-a-way, alone! He just wants a week to himself so he can sleep, clear his mind and get rejuvenated. He wants his energy and his creative mind back," a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. Poor Yeezy!
Does that mean Kanye regrets settling down with Kimmy? Not so fast. "Don't get it twisted. He absolutely loves being a husband and a father," our insider assures us. "It's one of the biggest joys of his life. But at the same time, he doesn't want that to take over his life. He doesn't want to become Al Bundy overnight!" Yeah — we don't blame you, Ye! That would seriously be oh-so-tragic.
Kim Kardashian & Kanye West's Super Hot Sex Life Now That She's Pregnant
While he may not get a break for a while, there's at least one major upside to Mr. West being tied down. As Kim carries his second child, he's been reaping the benefits of his lady love's increased libido. Yep, the power couple have been having the best sex sessions of their lives — thanks to the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star's pregnancy hormones!
"Kanye gives her a lot of confidence that way, he tells her she's beautiful and sexy all day long and he even kisses her little baby bump," an second source reveals. "Things are hot between them right now." Ooh, steamy!
Our source went on to say, "The pressure of trying to get pregnant took a toll but once she got pregnant and the pressures was off it really helped their sex life. She's even thinking about going with him to Glastonbury in a couple of weeks for a quick trip, so they can have a little one on one time, it'll depend how she feels." Mixing work with family life? That just might be Kanye's only solution!
To hear more about Kimye, head over to iTunes and download the latest HollywoodLife podcast for free!
HollywoodLifers — let us know how YOU feel! Do you think Kanye needs a break from family life before he ends up like Al Bundy?

The mission is going good. The coolest thing I think has happen is
that I met an investigator through a member who at the time is home
less so I tell you his story real quick. The man's name is Jeff Kobe
but his sign from his time in the army is Yeti. Jeff was riding on a
motorcycle when the driver lost control and he went face first into a
pole. While in the hospital he went almost completely blind and the
doctors discovered that he had intestinal cancer. Unable to get a job
because all forms of ID were destroyed, he was forced into the
streets. He then heard a voice telling him that he needed to find the
people that would show him the truth. After much prayer and study, it
was later confirmed that we were those people he was told to find. A
member who we used to fellowship Jeff is now buying him a cabin to be
place next to his house to give him a place to stay and they have
worked tirelessly so Jeff could get 2 forms of ID so he could get a
job. While we were teaching him one day he looked at me and said "I
am so happy I found the gospel, if I hadn't I would have been just
another dead hobo that no one cared about". It was so amazing. The
food's alright some good some bad been able to go to in n out a lot.

Hey, the investigator we put on date name is Otis. He is a great guy and he is black. This p-day I was able to go the oasis fun center which a bishop owns so we got to play laser tag and race go karts. I finally got my bike. With the mount of biking we do everyday, my lower body is always sore. My mission president said he would call you back to get the info and then let me call the insurance company. Things are going pretty good here. I think it finally hit me that I'm out on my mission. Tell Hannah I hope her baptism goes well. Tell everyone I'm sorry if I couldn't email them back since the wifi is being stupid right now. Talk to you later.

Letter from the Mission President
Dear Family of missionaries,
We are now just catching up with long needed emails from December.This past few weeks have been so wonderful as we celebrated the Christmas season sharing the joy of the birth of Jesus Christ. We had the opportunity to participate in the "He is the Gift" Christmas Initiative by the church to let the world know of the birth of the Savior. In our mission alone we distributed over 36,000 pass-a-long cards and invited all we could to share in the greatest gift of the season. Many people were blessed by receiving this gift.
Our mission was incredibly blessed by having your missionary arrive in the mission. They brought with them an energy and excitement to the work and to the missionaries serving here. After prayerful consideration they were assigned to training missionaries and sent to their fields of labor here in Northern California.
We love them.
This new year will be one of progress and happiness and joy as we serve side-by-side as missionaries.
If you ever have any questions or thoughts or concerns about your missionary, please feel free to call me. I may not answer the phone right then, but leave a voice message and I will return your call.
Again, we are so blessed to have your missionary. We love them, we pray for them, we serve along side with them, and we will treasure them.
Attached is are files with the arriving group of missionaries, and also a group picture with the new missionaries and their trainers.
You should receive emails from us so please confirm that we have the best email to send home details and updates from the California Roseville Mission
Best regards,
President Michael F. Marston
January 5th
Me and my companion were able to pick up what seemed like some pretty golden investigators which is awesome but haven't got a chance to teach them yet. I'm really enjoying the area and have a hard time believing that the next ward will be as good let alone any better but you never know. It would be nice to be in a car area rather than a bike area because biking is tiring definitely when it is raining. Not much else to talk about. I've gotten a lot better at basketball because I play so much now but so the NBA better be ready for me when I get back. Crazy I have been gone for over a month.
Talk to ya laterElder Tomlinson
