FDA Launches Medical Device and Radiation-Emitting Product Transparency Web Site
Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) Transparency Web site in support of the agency's Transparency Initiative. This site will provide information about medical device and radiation-emitting product regulatory processes and decisions, and summaries of data to support those decisions.
The new Web site is part of an ongoing effort within FDA to enhance communication and transparency. This Web site makes available new information about CDRH's decision-making processes and displays this information in a more user-friendly format. The site includes new information such as:
- basic information about medical devices and how FDA regulates those products
- information about medical devices before and after the products are on the market, in a searchable database
- information about the clinical studies and trials conducted to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of certain medical devices
- memos from FDA employees explaining the reasons for the agency's decisions about medical device manufacturer requests to make a significant change in components, materials, design, specification, software, color additive, and labeling of a medical device
- a step-by-step guide for manufacturers of radiation-emitting products to assist with the regulatory process
CDRH plans to add new information about premarket submissions, product performance & safety, compliance & enforcement, and science & research to this website monthly.
The Web site includes a feedback feature that will allow CDRH to collect input and suggestions from the public about the information provided. Visit the CDRH Transparency Web site at www.fda.gov/CDRHTransparency and let us know what you think. Feedback provided will be used to improve and expand the website.

I had a severe post-surgical complication that I'm convinced was related to a subcutaneous local anesthetic pump and/or its contents, but that's not how the ER doc or hospitalist classified my visit – one in which they were admittedly not familiar with the equipment. I believe I would have been one of the 700+ statistics had they not removed the pump, which they did only after failing to determine any other cause of the extreme hypotension & bradycardia.
Is anyone investigating or tracking near misses?

Wonderful website you have here but I was wanting to know if you
knew of anyy community forums that cover the same topics discussed iin this article?
I'd really love to be a part of online community where I can get responses from other
knowledgeable people that share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
Hi! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this
site? I'm getting fed up of WordPress because I've had problems with hackers
and I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
Wonderful items from you, man. I've be aware your stuff prior to and you are simply extremely excellent. I really like what you've got right
here, really like what you are saying and the way during which
you assert it. You make it enjoyable and you still care for to stay
it sensible. I cant wait to learn far more from you. That is really a terrific website.
I am really enjoying the theme/design of your site. Do you ever run into any internet browser
compatibility issues? A few of my blog readers have complained about
my site not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Firefox.
Do you have any ideas to help fix this problem?

This was my first WRMK album purchase, as I usually purchase American Crafts cloth covered albums but wanted this particular color for a vacation album. I was blown away by the quality! I own several AC 'leather' albums and feel that the WRMK one is so much nicer. The 'leather' has a thicker, more supple feel to it than AC has and the reinforced corners are a nice touch. I only wish I had tried these before investing so much into AC albums. Also, the color of the album was true to the color I see online.
The color is rich and delicious and the leather is beautiful. The album is very sturdy. It comes with a nice book label on the spine and a stability divider just inside the front cover. The (3) rings are great and will hold a LOT of page protectors or sheets of your choice. The album does come with 10 page protectors, one divided to hold two 4x6 photos and an area for journaling just under each (all on one page).
I bought 5 of these in different colors and started scrapbooks for 5 great grandchildren for Christmas. They were a big hit. The albums are extremely well made and colors are bright and just perfect. Would recommend these without hesitation.

|Home Eco Pro Premium All Bristle Hard Floor Brush 12" EP14107
Order the Eco Pro EP14107 On Vacdepot!
The Eco-Pro Premium brings back the design of many popular OEM floor tools from the past. While many modern hard floor tools use wheels to support the tool the Premium is all bristle. A full wrap of natural fill bristle encompasses the perimeter of the nozzle shoe with a window cut front to allow in larger debris. Where wheeled floor tools are tall and deep their bristle is lengthened to reach the floor and easily bends. Without wheels in it's design the Premium floor brush uses a compact short natural fill to support the tool. The depth of the Premium from front to back is closed to narrow the field of suction and increase airflow velocity. This design not only makes for a more maneuverable floor tool, it also increases the tools ability to lift large debris by focusing suction along a wide but narrow path.
The Premium floor brush also provides a low 1-3/8" height to easily reach under the corners and toe kicks. The top of the nozzle body is only 2.5" for easy access deep under beds. The forward swept design helps the Premium floor nozzle pull debris from corners and reach close to baseboards for single pass cleaning. A classic design with quality materials, the Premium Floor Brush from Eco-Pro will provide years of efficient cleaning service.
Sold 1 each. Black color, vinyl housing with polypro neck and shoe & natural fill.

Don't Forget Where You're Going: NOLA Beyond the Convention Center Walls
07/06/2011 § 7 Comments
This post needs no introduction. Written by April Martin – you've also seen her here talking information literacy. Find her at ALA and get a high-five (tell her Heidi sent you!)
So, you're going to ALA in New Orleans. Although I am sure that all of you will be very busy networking, attending meetings and seminars, and combing the exhibits for free and/or cheap advanced readers' copies from your favorite authors and publishers, you may want to take a break from conferencing and experience one of the greatest cities you'll ever be lucky enough to visit. Ok, maybe I am a little biased; I did live in there for 12 years before moving to Seattle to pursue my MLIS and I do love, love, love New Orleans.
Of course I am aware that we lib-students (and n00brarians) are not necessarily a rich bunch but we are rich in luck because there are many, many inexpensive and great places to go and things to do in the Big Easy. Of course, you probably don't want to read for days so I will try to keep it brief.
A French Quarter adventure will definitely set the mood. Founded by the French, built up by the Spanish, and loved by anyone who enters, New Orleans' oldest and most famous neighborhood offers something for everyone. St. Louis Cathedral for those who love the grandeur of Catholicism, Café du Monde for those who like to wait in line, Royal Street for those who like shiny things, Bourbon Street for those who like boobs and vomit, and the Mississippi River. Take a ride on the Mighty Mississippi to Algiers (Westbank) and back for free! On The Algiers Ferry, you'll feel just like Mark Twain (well maybe you won't feel at all like Mark Twain but the view of the French Quarter from the river is not to be missed). Stop in at Royal Blend Coffee & Tea House for a drink or a snack and experience one of the most picturesque public courtyards in the city or get to Acme Oyster House for classic New Orleans seafood. And be sure to check out two of the Quarter's true literary gems, Beckham's Book Shop and Faulkner House Books.
Many visitors miss out on New Orleans beyond the French Quarter but through the following suggestions, I will try to ensure that you are not among them.
From the Convention Center, walk over to St. Charles Avenue where for only $1.25 each way, you can take one of the New Orleans Streetcars and experience the city in motion going past palatial antebellum houses, and centuries-old oak trees. On the St. Charles Line, stop off at Audubon Park for a stroll or a picnic and return via Magazine Street (Audubon Park is situated b/t Magazine and St. Charles) for shopping, a drink at St. Joe's, late lunch at Juan's Flying Burrito, or coffee/wi-fi at Rue de la Course (tell them it's on Jerry). Or if you're really feeling adventurous, just off Magazine is Franky & Johnny's where the gumbo is awesome and the table cloths are vinyl. Best breakfast on Magazine is definitely found at Surrey's Café & Juice Bar.
Ok, let's talk nightlife. New Orleans is known for bars that don't close and bottomless drinks so my only piece of advice is this: plan your way back to the hotel before you set out for the night. Even so, you may not make it back while it is still night. Hi Ho Lounge in the Marigny, Maple Leaf Bar on Oak Street, Molly's on Decatur, The Saint and The Half Moon, both off Magazine have been a few of my favorites but you'll find that in New Orleans, the good times go where you go so just get out there and have fun!
Ok, well I could go on and on and on and on but I'll stop here and ask you all this question: where are you planning to go? There are many, many great neighborhoods and sites to see in New Orleans and those included here are included solely because they are near the Convention Center but if you get the opportunity to explore further, you definitely should. What are your big plans while you are ALAing in NOLA? And most importantly, where will the HackLibberHeadquarters be?
I plan to revive my connection to the digital world and tweet my brains out throughout the weekend so follow me for updates, goings on, and general non sequiturs. Laissez les bon temps rouler!
§ 7 Responses to Don't Forget Where You're Going: NOLA Beyond the Convention Center Walls
I'm spending most of my time at The Bourbon House and Old New Orleans Rum. Thought about the Dixie Beer place 'til I found out they are now brewing it in Wisconsin…bummer.
Thank you, April, for your insights! I hope to make it to Thursday's twilight concert at the botanical garden : http://neworleanscitypark.com/calendar.html
hahaha, tweet my brains out!
For those of you who want to try some local beers, the best beer place in the city is the Avenue pub, on St Charles. They usually have several NOLA beers on tap (NOLA in this case meaning New Orleans Lager and Ale). Dba on frenchmen also has Abita and NOLA on tap.

Bethel Park millage rate increase lower than expected
The Bethel Park School Board on June 25 approved a $76.11 budget for the 2013-2014 school year, which includes a millage increase that is less than district administrators had originally calculated.
Board members approved a millage increase of 0.45 mills, making the district millage rate 21.86.
The current tax rate is 21.41 after the revenue neutral adjustment necessary because of the Allegheny County reassessments.
The budget was approved by a vote of 6-1, with board members David Amaditz and Russ Spicuzza absent. Board member Ronald Sustich voted against the millage rate and made a motion to set the rate at 21.99.
Sustich said he was concerned that the district is using $255,000 from the fund balance to balance the budget. He said he is concerned that if the state restructures the funding of school districts away from property taxes that the district would be stuck with that rate.
Other board members however, refused to second the motion and said they are confident that the state will stay with the current funding structure.
Dr. Tim Campbell said he did not find using .4 percent of the fund balance to be risky.
"I don't think we should burden the taxpayers," said Campbell. "I don't think we should raise folks taxes on what ifs."
District officials also said that costs fluctuate during the school year and it is possible that the district might not have to use the allocated portion of the fund balance.
Board members began the meeting by formally signing a new four-year contract with the district transportation union and thanking union members, whose contract includes wage freezes and the members picking up more of their healthcare costs.
"We are trying to be fiscally responsible," said Campbell. "The transportation workers understood that and dealt with it."
The district is currently in negotiations with the teachers union, which has been working under a contract that expired nearly three years ago.
At a previous meeting, Leonard Corazzi, district budget director, explained that the finance department had built possible salary increases generated by possible settlement of the contract into budget, but he declined to discuss specifics. The district also had to formulate the budget upon calculations of revenue that might be generated or lost due to tax assessment appeals that have not yet been settled, explained Matthew Howard, district business manager. In other business, the board lowered the prices for all-sports passes for athletic events.
Howard has said the administration believes the lower prices will lead to more people purchasing them.
Vicki Flotta, district communications director, said the price for the adult passes was lowered from $110 to $100 and the student passes fell from $50 to $30.

The product was ok but I thought I could use in Auto so I returned it. I had all intentions of buying another one when my credit was process for the return one but it took over two weeks to get a refund so I just went to local store and purchase my unit for car. Customer Service is sometimes more important than the Quality of the product.

Heat works great, joy stick works great, on the control you can do about anything you want. What I dont like about it is that its a bit long for short people, I need to sit on a pillow to massage my neck. Also when it shuts off or starts up it always starts at the bottom right hand side if your sitting on it. Wish it would stop where I left off or stay in the bottom middle. I really enjoy this one, I had my last one from Homedics that I still have its been 4 years.

Most of the reviews seem to be from people who just purchased. I bought one of these a little over two years ago. It has a two year warranty and as soon as that is up it quit working. I called customer service and all they have is a recording that says they do not repair or recommend trying to have it repaired if they are out of warranty. So it worked great for two years and then that was it. If that is okay for you, buy one. If not, look elsewhere.

I bought this and had to send it back. Looked like it was a return product that they just put back in the box. The screws were stripped. They sent another out pretty quickly, so that was ok. You do have to work it quite a bit to see how to use it. I am short, so it is a little tall for me and there is no adjustment for short people. It gives a good hard message if that is what you want.

One of the best purchases I've ever made. No more chiropractor or masseurs. And since I'm in control I can reach spots, like that knot under my scapula, that no one quite ever reached or stayed on long enough if they did. This chair is my 15 (or 30, or 45) minutes of heaven on Earth. So far it's worked great and I've had it for 2 years- on here to order more for family!

This is a great buy. Well worth the money! It was not that hard to put tgoether, It took me about an hour or so. Just make sure you've the right tools before you start? Like a Ratchet set! It is very comfortable and easy to move for one position to the other.

My husband purchase this for me Christmas of 2011. I suffer from very terrible stress headaches. I have seek treatment from chiropractors, done acupuncture and massages and even over the counter medication didn't really relieve my headaches. We set this product up and wow! I am petite so I wished the neck rollers would come in a bit more in addition to going up and down. Once I set it up for myself and found my husband massaging his back and neck. He loves it as well.

pretty darn good massage for a chair but i hate that it turns off after 15 minutes!
August 15, 2011
I just bought one a couple of weeks ago. Compared to the vibrating one this one is by far, hands down much better. I'm still learning how it works. The width for instance. I wish the points would spread apart farther but as I said I'm still learning how to use it. I works out the kinks and gets the blood flowing. It is definately worth every penny.

Im totally in love with this massager. I did just buy myself one finally. Two years ago my wife and I bought one for my mother and one for my sister-in-law. Still working. So whenever we'd go visit them we would use theirs. All in all great products.

Amazing product. My sister gave me this for Christmas and it is officially the best gift ever. The knots in my back are already gone. The upper back part seems to focus on the right side, but the joystick allows you to move it to any area you need so it is not that big of a deal. Cannot comment on the lifespan of this product, we'll just have to wait and see.

Questions on Total Coverage™ Shiatsu Massage Cushion
- I read the reviews, and it was mentioned it needs to be put together and needing a rachet set??? What exactly needs to be put together?
Can this be used for any basic office desk chair? Is it easy to move from chair to chair if need be? does the base fold up for storage?
- I'm sorry that is not correct. This product has a shipping screw that needs to be removed from the back and that is it. We provide you with the tool to remove it. There is nothing else that needs to be put together.
Yes, you can use this in an office chair and it is easy to move from chair to chair. Yes, it does fold at the bottom for storage.

It supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, Interbase/Firebird, Informix, Sybase SQL Anywhere, Oracle, MS SQL 7 and 2000, SAP DB, Sybase, DB2, FrontBase, Foxpro, Access, Netezza, LDAP, ODBTP, ADO, and generic ODBC. A metatype system is built in, making it possible to figure out that types such as CHAR, TEXT, and STRING are equivalent in different databases. It also features portable database creation, database-backed session support (with encryption), SQL performance monitoring, and database health checks.
The Advanced Bash Scripting Guide is both a reference and a tutorial on shell scripting. This comprehensive book, the equivalent of 1,000+ print pages, covers almost every aspect of shell scripting. It contains 382 profusely commented illustrative examples, a number of tables, and a cross-linked index/glossary. Not just a shell scripting tutorial, this book also provides an introduction to basic programming techniques, such as sorting and recursion. Included scripts are the Game of Life, a Perquackey variant, a Morse code trainer, and an implementation of the Gronsfeld Cipher. This book is suited for both individual study and classroom use. It covers Bash, up to and including version 4.2. Note that users of miniaturized single-board computers running Linux, such as the Raspberry Pi and the Beagle Bone, would find this Guide useful for learning and running Bash scripts to explore and expand the capabilities of these small, but powerful machines.

Healthcare, Technology and Autism converge at CES 2012
This is a guest blog post from Marc Sirkin, Autism Speaks VP Social Marketing and Online Fundraising. He recently attended CES to support the launch of a strategic partnership with Careverge.com.
CES (Consumer Electronics Show) is big, really big. Crazy big. The annual show hosts some 140,000 attendees and features some of the most incredible technology, gadgets and ideas that shape how we interact with our world. The main purpose of my attending was to support a recent partnership between Autism Speaks and Audax Health's Careverge [link]. Starting back in October, when we held the first "Hacking Autism" event technology has been on my mind, and as we saw on that incredible day, mobile apps and tablets are literally transforming the autism experience across the autism spectrum. It's led me to start asking what I think is a great question: "How will new digital technologies and digital platforms transform the lives of those on the spectrum today and in the future?"
We continue to try to answer that question at IMFAR, our Core77 competition and have some exciting news to share in the days ahead about what's next for "Hacking Autism." I'm thrilled here to blog about a new partner, Careverge.
Careverge as you'll see and hear in the video below is on the forefront of the "digital health" revolution. Spurred on by massive consumer pain and ever spiraling health care costs, entrepreneurs like Grant Verstandig, the Founder and CEO of Audax Health are bringing together a combination of technological ideas and experience, social networking, data analysis and gaming to create innovative and frankly, incredibly cool solutions.
I don't know how Careverge will help you and your family but I suspect that you'll come up with new ways to use the service. There are already more than 200 members of the "Autism Speaks" community and now it's your turn. If you believe like I do that technology can and is making a different TODAY for all those on the autism spectrum, please register on the Autism Speaks Careverge site and and send us your feedback!

Some say that they say they are searching for a "cure" for autism. However, I believe that there is no 'cure' as autism is just a different type of mind. – Evolution's way of preparing future man for new technology. My autistic son, Howard, is so proficient on a computer, because it is in a virtual world and because he has such concentration. Now most of us haven't got good memories because our thoughts are diverted. Howard has no problem in concentrating on one thing at a time so when he is on the computer he is better than the average person, because of his absolute concentration.
He could not talk until he was about 9 yrs old and was refused education by the local education authority 'because of his disability of mind' and 'medical experts' described him as a 'write-off'. Yet, many years later he graduated from University in Computer Science!
My niece did not have a Special Needs Trust established as a child nor teen. So as an adult, with no parents, she must live state check to state check in order to cover her monthly expenses. As I assist her in managing and covering her expenses, it pains me to witness this cold reality that most young people will be face with, if their parents do not plan correctly. Now, I am a Financial Advisor with a focus on Special Needs Annuities, that loves new business but this blog is me sharing her story with you, so u will not make the same mistake with your child. My niece struggle became mine…..And it could have been avoided with a proper plan….

Masters Final R8: Carlsen and Nakamura narrow gap with Ivanchuk
In the Grand Slam Masters FInal Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nalamura narrowed the gap with tournament leader Vassily Ivanchuk to 3 points on Saturday in Bilbao, Spain. Carlsen beat Francisco Vallejo, while Nakamura won against Levon Aronian. Ivanchuk drew with Vishy Anand. Sunday is a rest day.
|4th Grand Slam Masters Final | PGN via TWIC

|90 minutes for the first 40 moves plus 60 minutes to finish the game, with 10 seconds increment per move from move number 41
|Players are not allowed to agree to a draw without the arbiter's permission. In case both players request it to him, the arbiter will make his decision after consulting with the technical assistant. The football scoring system is used: 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 for a loss.
A huge crowd, bigger than on any day in 2010, had gathered on Saturday
Round 8
After the rest day (Sunday) the Masters Final tournament will have a great finale: on Monday, with White, Magnus Carlsen plays against Vassily Ivanchuk, who after the 8th round is just 3 points ahead of the Norwegian. Hikaru Nakamura also has chances to become the leader in the next round when he plays tail-ender Francisco Vallejo. Virtually without chances for victory, Anand and Aronian play each other on Monday.
But first round 7, when Vallejo played well again. From a Slav, the Spaniard reached an ending that was about equal, but then he took a poisoned pawn on g2 and suddenly he lost a piece.
Carlsen waiting for his opponent to resign, Nakamura watching along
Nakamura played an impressive game against Aronian. From a Queen's Gambit Declined with 5.Bf4 and 7.g4 (the way Botvinnik and Kasparov used to play it!) he kept a small advantage into the ending. Perhaps Aronian could have drawn it somewhere but it wasn't easy and Nakamura showed fine technique.
The two endings that both will finish in '1-0' still in progress
Ivanchuk played a good game against the World Champion. In a well-known line of the Queen's Indian the Ukrainian kept a small advantage into a knight ending, but Anand was never in real danger.
During the rest day some of the players will do a showcooking in restaurante Yandiola with the cook Ricardo Pérez - they'll prepare special dishes of the famous brand Angulas Aguinaga with angulas (eels), pulpo (octopus) and mejillones (mussels).

Grand Slam Masters Final 2011 | Round 8 Standings (classical)
Anand is maybe the nicest World Champion ever, but all the talk about how he actually isn't trying his best because he is saving preparation, not for his next event (Tal Memorial) or the one after that (London) or the one after that (Wijk) but one that is supposed to take place many months after the last one (a match against a Gelfand he last lost a game against in 1993), is getting boring. What excuses couldn't be made for Ivanchuk (reserve, robbed, delayed, etc)?
Anand scored a narrow win against a Topalov that no longer played top five chess. It's almost four years since Anand won a tournament. Still many seem to keep thinking he is the clearly best player in the world and should win every time he turns up. In the Chessvibes poll 62% expected Anand to win Sao Paulo/Bilbao while the five remaining players together had 38% of the votes. Then, when Anand once again doesn't win, it's because he "of course isn't really trying", but then why expect him to win in the first place?
In 2007 Anand won a very strong Linares, and later also the World Championship. In 2008 Anand won a very strong Linares, and later also the match against Kramnik. Nothing stopped him from winning the most important tournament of the year and the World Championship, both times in very convincing fashion. Just like Kramnik won first board gold in the Olympiad and then Dortmund just before his match against Topalov. Here Anand is on the way to finish in the bottom half, and I don't expect him to win Tal Memorial, London or Wijk either. Of course he will win easily against Gelfand anyway, but he's far from impressing like in 2007-08.
True that he doesn't win tournaments, but since he is mantaining the 2800 rating through these years and is constantly breathing at Carlsen's neck on the rating lists, he can't really perform that bad in tournaments, can he?
He's a great player, but he rarely participates in tournaments, this is his first since January, and my guess is that he will start losing rating points now that he will play as much as the other top players at the end of the year.
True, Anand had a break earlier this year - maybe his own choice (fatherhood), maybe he just wasn't invited to Bazna, Dortmund and/or Biel. Not his fault that he didn't need to play candidates event and World Cup, not his fault that Linares didn't take place.
In his four previous supertournaments (Bilbao 2010, Nanjing, London, Tata Steel), he always gained a few rating points and always finished in second place. Those who won ahead of him are either less consistent (Nakamura, even Kramnik) or don't bother to challenge his WCh title (Carlsen). Now Anand will finish in midfield and lose a few rating points - at least premature to consider this the end of the world or the start of the end of his career.
"In his four previous supertournaments (Bilbao 2010, Nanjing, London, Tata Steel), he always gained a few rating points and always finished in second place"
Yes, and in the four before that he finished 6th, 4th, 5th and 4th, and in this one I'd guess he will finish 4th again since I doubt he'll win with black against Aronian. Not bad results in all but not very impressive for a player like Anand either, if one compares with his results in 2007-08.
Of course results are "not very impressive" if you use such high standards - either Anand's own very best tournament results or, somehow between the lines, Kasparov's and Karpov's tournament results when they were (also) world champion. But those times - one or two players far ahead of the rest - are definitely over. For a while, Topalov had the best tournament results which included winning a WCh tournament, but he never impressed in matches. Now Carlsen has altogether the best tournament results, but he doesn't even bother about WCh events.
With respect to the poll, you still misinterpret it: 62% for Anand didn't mean that he was big favorite, just that many considered him slight favorite - myself included, I thought it could be his turn to win after four consecutive second places in strong events. Who else would have been favorite?
- Ivanchuk, based on his long-term results, could finish anywhere: maybe not sixth place behind Vallejo, but fifth place also would have been consistent with his earlier performances.
- Carlsen didn't impress in Bilbao last year
- Nakamura didn't impress in Bazna and Dortmund
- As we can neglect Vallejo (the 2% or so voting for him might have been joking), this leaves only Aronian. While I see no reason why he shouldn't be co-favorite, I also see no reason why he would be.
Yeah Anand hasn't won that many tournaments lately - he doesn't need to though to remain World Champion. He only needs to win the WC match again to remain World Champion, and his performance in all other tournaments is just solid.
Of course he doesn't "need to" win tournaments to stay World Champion, beating Gelfand is enough for that, but I'm sure he's trying his best just like a sick Kramnik tried his best and won Linares 2004 ahead of Kasparov the same year as he defended his title against Leko, like Alekhine tried his best to win tournaments even if he didn't "need to" win them to stay World Champion and so on.

Bravo Redivivo! A very, very good analyze. Anand is not dominating at all. He is "merely" top 3 in todays chess world.

You sound like clone. Your arguments are a stale imitation of what your predecessors gg, frogbert, goldenknight and the like tried to sell door to door last year.
Tournament Champ vs World Champion. World NoOne vs World Champion. It's all wrong. Its all part of the cavalry to disrupt the credibility of the World Championship title.
Lol, disrupt the credibility of the World Championship title?! Anand is the World Champion if he finishes last in every tournament. No World Champion needs to win tournaments, but it's fun to see great players play great chess.
Karpov didn't need to win Linares 1994, one could easily brush away that achievement and 99.99% of all other chess achievements with the argument that they were pointless because they weren't title matches, but then there's not much of a point in following chess at all.
My conclusion: with equal conditions we would see a new wold champion each 2 years.
Thats why I think the world championship cycle should be redesigned. The last stages of the cycle should like this:
Double round-robin tournament:
World Champion + 7 or 9 qualifiers
No rating qualifiers, no host nominees or any wildcards whatsoever - just World Champion and 7 or 9 qualifiers from the earlier stage(s)
World Championship match
Top two from the round-robin play a World Championship match. Winner of the round-robin has draw odds.
Simple and fair, and no rapids or blitz. We have special World championships for that.
Nice Idea, I like it. But with one drawback: such a cycle would take so much time (more than 3 years?!), qualification+ tourneo + match!!
3 years exactly (see below)
If we shrink it into 2 year cycle, meaning that the World championship match and Swiss tournament for the next cycle would be held in the same year, then there is a problem with the loser of World championship match. He would need to be seeded into the round robin tournament too. I think 3 year cycle is better.
My idea of a "perfect" cycle would look like this:
Zonal and Continental Championships. Elite players normally don't participate in those.
Qualifiers from preliminary stages would be joined by top 30 or 40 from the rating list. That would make a big swiss tournament with 80 or even more players. Such big swiss events were held in 1990 and 1993 (both FIDE and PCA) as an Interzonal tournaments. And it worked!
Top 7 or 9 players advance into the next stage.
World Champion joins the qualifiers and they contest a double round robin.
Top 2 from the round robin play a match for the title of World Champion. Winner of round robin has draw odds.
This would make a 3 year cycle with three main events (one for each year). They should always be held at the same time slot in the calendar (lets say May). This would make easier planning for the players and also for other tournament organisers (so that they don't plan a super tournament at that time).
Also there shouldn't be any rapid or blitz playoffs. How to break the ties then? Just like they did it in the old times (see Helsinki 1947, Budapest 1960, Jakarta 1963, Tbilisi 1966, Interzonal 1967, Baku 1972, Vilnius 1975, Interzonal Riga 1979, South Bend 1981, Interzonal Biel 1985, Candidates Montpellier 1985)
First a playoff match (at regular time controls) and if the playoff is inconclusive then an arbitrary method like Sonneborn-Berger (or Median Bucholz for Swiss) decides. Thats how it was always done from 1940's up until 1980's when they started to mix things.
Such a cycle is in my opinion:
Theoretically everyone has a chance (through Zonal tournaments) to fight for the World Championship provided that he is good enough.
2. FAIR to World champion and other players. Seeding the Champion straight into the final match IS unfair (always has been).
There are only three main events that needs to be organized (1 each year). Thats 3 times less than it was in previous cycle (6 GP + 1 World cup + Candidates + World championship = 9 events!!!)
I don't have anthing against this form of chess, but they have their own World Championships.
When I say no Wildcards I meant in the later stages.
First, in my opionion the venues for the events should be known IN ADVANCE, before the actual cycle begins. Lets say that such a cycle begins in May 2013 (Swiss tournament) - we should know where the 2014 Candidates and 2015 World Championship are going to be held! Thats how it is in all serious sports - the dates and venues are known at least BEFORE the season begins begins if not years in advance.
So lets say that we knew that Swiss tournament is going to be held in Brazil, Candidates are going to be in China and USA will hold a World Championship match. I see no problem of giving those three countries a wildcard ticket to nominate 1 player (each), but ONLY for the 1st stage (Swiss tournament)! But there should under no circumstances be any wildcards for the later stages. Only the World champion is "privileged" to enter the round robin tournament without eededng to go through the Swiss tournament. Afterall he earned this "privilegie" in the previous cycle.
Great thank, that is a fantastic proposal, Why I did not think at this before??

The cycle should be every two years, for the sake of keeping the highest level of chess competition in the minds of the public....First year a double round robin tourney with the top rated twelve players, minus the champ....second year the winner of the double round robin plays the champ for the title. No blitz or rapid chess games...everyone is eligible, as they can attain the requiste rating.
ebutaljib, I don't agree with you that the world champion should not have 'privileges'. If we make him qualify and he has an off tournament, the new world champion would not gain the glory of beating a sitting world champion. i.e. Botvinnik became world champion by winning a tournament BUT it would have been sweeter for him (and fans) if he could have gotten the title by beating Alekhine in a match. So this idea of 'privilege' is a connection to the past as most World Champions became that way by being able to overcome the privileges of the previous champ - and unseating him. Carlsen wants a cycle wherein Anand qualifies because maybe Anand doesn't qualify and Carlsen can be spared a match with him; a kind of a dodge really. Besides, by getting rid of draw odds and having a playoff we already got rid of the main privilege that the world champions of the past had. Somebody just has to man up and beat Anand ... or stop complaining.
"Carlsen wants a cycle wherein Anand qualifies because maybe Anand doesn't qualify and Carlsen can be spared a match with him"
Do you really think that is the reason? I don't think Carlsen would mind losing a match against Anand, they are close friends. I don't even think Carlsen cares very much about the World Championship, at least not yet, maybe when he grows older than 20. But all the talk about him having to "man up" etc is just silly. Anand/Gelfand will be 45+, with all respect to them I don't think any top player fears them so much that they can't "man up" to even play them. They aren't that much better than anyone else now and will be even less so some years from now.
If the World Champion isn't good enough to come at least 2nd in the above mentioned tournament, then he just isn't good enough. Period. If you have an off day at the Olymipcs or World championships in other sports you are out. Finito. Wait for next 4 years. Doesn't matter who you are. It's up to every participant that he makes sure to perform its best when it matters the most.
I'm not saying that the World champion has to start at the lowest level like everyone else, but seeding him directly into the final match is unfair and has always been unfair. And then they even used to have draw odds and rematch rights,...phew...why not just start 2-0 up like Fischer basically wanted.
You talk about tradition, I say crap. This "tradition" is only because the Champion used to own the title and could impose whichever conditions he wanted, fair or unfair. Lasker, Capablanca and Alekhine just said give me this much and this mmuch money or I wont play you, and others could do what they wanted and play however good they wanted but couldn't get the title until providing what the champ wanted. Real nice tradition you rely on.
I forgot to add. If you want "tradition" then why not go back to what Steinitz was advocating? Namely just what I proposed above - first a strong tournament, then a title match between 1st and 2nd prize winner. That was Steinitz's idea how a World championship should look like. It was tried at 6th American (Chess) Congress in New York 1889. Unfortunately the idea never materialised.

He should have good technique... he's 2760.
I won't be surprised if Naka comes out firing and winning the rest. He has that talent and fighting spirit of Fischer. That is why I was surprised at his "Fischer-like" beating at the hands of Chucky. But then Chucky is not called the Ukranian genius for nothing ;-)
2 years 6 months ago
only one question: how does Topalov keep his elo rating as he NEVER plays the "big ones"???
I can't believe that whether "Anand" is a real world champion is cropping up again.
Like the Presidency of the United States, you either respect it or don't. You don't give excuses whether the Presidential election is truly representative because the process in your opinion is not selecting the best candidate, or in your opinion, the President of the United States is not taking the right decisions as some other people you favor would.
If you say Anand is not a worthy world champion, get a player to beat him in this unified world championship cycle. That might/will happen in years as Anand himself predicted in 2008 and mentioned Carlsen. But till then, let us enjoy the games of all these brilliant champions and give the World Champion his due respect.
I have personally known and played the World Champion when we were both very young, and his natural talent, speed, and God-given ability in Chess was unbelievable as was his humility and nicety even as a teen. Pure class in every way.
noone questioned whether he is a worthy world champion, he has definitely proven to belong to the greatest ever. it is just that there are a number of chess fans (other than yourself) who consider his well-fed kindergarten child-like playing style of these days (e4 so that he can draw fast his whites and spare some home-prep, really?!) to be smiled at...
Adam, do you really think that Anand is playing 1.e4 to draw? He is probably experimenting and playing his best to beat with 1.e4.
1.e4 has always his favorite first move since he played Kramnik in 2008. It is a testimony to the opposition that he has not win more and a testimony to him as a World Champion that he has not lost more to such a high caliber competition. Inflated ego or not, this is one of the highest rated elos of all times. Only Kramnik is missing to make it complete.
"...well-fed kindergarten child-like playing style of these days (e4 so that he can draw fast his whites and spare some home-prep, really?!).."
Really? Do you really believe what you are saying? Have you watched Anand play in person? Have you played him?
I am asking all this respectfully, not mocking you.
He is an absolutely professional who did not spare even me as a close friend, and we were both very very young when we played (sorry to pull put my Anand connection). But he was always very much into winning as I personally used to know him.
okay, i'm gonna try to simplify this: i and many others would love to see the world champion demonstrate his truly outstanding strength by directing regular bloodbaths on the board and taking home every second or third tournament trophy. we do not, for quite some time. period
I understand, and though I cannot and do not speak for Anand, he is the only one who can answer.
I am sure that that is an explanation other than the fact that he is not a worthy World Champion. For example, with all the powerful computers available, the preparation levels and readiness of all these top world class players have become outstanding. So, unless you uncork a novelty, you might not be able to win. How Chucky, Magnus win so much is a question that I cannot answer.
Also, please remember that Anand losses so far have also been negligible under such circumstances. Even Aronian has already lost twice already in this tournament and we all know that he is a potential World Champion like Magnus. So has Chucky, the undisputed genius.
Who said/wrote of any doubts whether Anand is World champion or not? Of course he is.
The question raised was whether Anand is a worthy World Champion or not, as if he was just lucky and undeserving to be the World Champion.
No one could doubt whether he is a World Champion after he won the combined title and defended his title twice, winning the World Championship in different formats, only World Champion ever to do so.
No, the question was whether or not his tournament performances in recent years are worthy of a World Champion.
"The question raised was whether Anand is a worthy World Champion or not, as if he was just lucky and undeserving to be the World Champion"
No, that was not the question raised. Fischer was of course a worthy World Champion even though he didn't play a single game as World Champion and Anand is obviously no less so since he even has defended the title a couple of times. But one shouldn't just reduce all questions to the World Championship. Kasparov won five black games in a row against players in the top ten in Linares 1999. That had nothing to do with the World Championship but can still be discussed as an example of a great achievement.

You can see on that second image that the similarity between Magnus in José Diaz cartoons is not pure coincidence.

If I was world champion like Anand, I would NOT show nice moves in such tournaments. I would hide them to retain the world title. This is most important. xD

I can imagine not showing your newest prepared openings and play something solid you know also very good. But I can't imagine in the mind of a grandmaster happening: "Ah that move is completely winning. Shall I play it, cause it looks beautiful? No lets save it for the world championship if the position arise again. Lets play something more solid and go for a draw."
interesting photographs...wondering about the glass that shield's the GM's. Bullet proof?! Do the GM's like the isolation from the crowd as compared to other tournaments with open air between fans and the players?
In st louis, I was able to approached very close to take some video...looks like I would not be able to do that here! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7H7zO9FeJM

The Transparency Task Force's Fourth Question
We want to know how the FDA could provide information to the public to better explain the agency's work and its decisions. The fourth question is:
What, if any, legislative or regulatory changes are needed to improve FDA's ability to provide useful and understandable information to the public?
Thank you and we look forward to your input and participation.
FDA Transparency Task Force
June 21, 2009 at 11:37 pm | #1
All loopholes in the law related to aborted clinical trials and trials that fail to get completed need to be removed as soon as possible through legislative action. The present loopholes, which allow companies and the FDA to keep data from aborted and unfinished medical device trials in a "black box," not only endangers the American public and most specifically trial participants, but also keeps science from moving forward and undermines any appearance that the FDA is operating in a transparent manner.
June 22, 2009 at 6:33 am | #2
I think that drug companies should be required to post all of the unfavorable clinical trial results, instead of just the favorable studies, like they've been doing. I also think that all conflicts of interest, like the APA's drug company funding, must be made totally transparent.
June 22, 2009 at 9:06 am | #3
All clinical trial results should be disclosed to the general public for both their safety and information. While a trial may fail, that doesn't mean all physicians are aware and as an advocate for your own health, the public should have pertinent material to present their case as needed. Some trials can potentially affect a person years later. Without knowing trial results, all patients are hampered. This legislation should be put into effect immediately. Thank you.

Two items are very important for the public to know:
1) The results of ALL clnical trials, whether favorable or unfavorable, whether successful or unsuccessful. The public, and especially the people who have participated in these trials, have the right to know.
2) How many sucessful trials have to be performed before a drug or device is approved by the FDA? Is there any legislation regarding this? Those of us with implants inside our hearts for PFO closure (with PFOs that caused stroke, TIAs and/or heart failure) would really love to know when these devices will be approved by the FDA for PFO closure. What more criteria do they need to meet? The devices have already been approved for ASD closure, so why not for PFO closure? Perhaps legislation needs to be passed to make these devices available to the public? I am not sure how the system works, but explaining this to the general population will be a great big step toward transparency. I would be interested to know how the FDA goes about making a decision to approve a device or medication for use for specific ailments and conditions.
June 22, 2009 at 2:16 pm | #5
I agree fully with what Bray and "Duck Tape" are posting. I think that ALL clinical trials results, whether successful or unfavorable, should be made public. Not only is it appropriate, it's safer. As Americans at the VERY least, it is our RIGHT to be well informed!
June 22, 2009 at 9:03 pm | #6
With regard to processes and decision-making, the approval process for products and drugs should be made public. Not only should the studies performed on a product or drug be made public on the FDA website, but also information about where the funding for the study came from.
While I applaud the FDA's efforts to make procedures and processes more transparent, I believe transparency is a much smaller part of a larger issue. A window is transparent. But, what good is a window if you do not believe what you are seeing through that window is what is actually there? There needs to be a restoration of trust among the public with regard to the FDA. You can be as transparent as you want, but if the public does not believe that the information provided is truthful, it is useless. Public distrust of the FDA greatly impedes the impact an approval or warning has on the population.
A process that would increase both transparency and trust would be the development of, as an example, a 0-5 star-based grading system. The individuals who grade products and drugs should be employed part-time by the FDA and not located at the FDA headquarters to prevent politics and pressure from influencing decisions. The number of stars could indicate the degree of confidence a consumer can have in a product or drug with zero stars being the least confident and 5 the most. This system could be applied to nearly everything the FDA approves.
For drugs: New drugs would have 0-1 stars unless studies had been conducted by independent agencies indicating safety and efficacy. The longer the drug is on the market without severe adverse events and/or the more studies conducted, the greater the number of stars would be assigned to the product.
For supplements: I realize the FDA does not regulate supplements, but this process would allow for increased consumer confidence and safety. If the manufacturer is willing to pay for testing, products that contain what is listed on the label without added dangerous ingredients (lead) would receive a high number of stars and those that do not contain what is on the label and/or contain dangerous ingredients would receive a low number or no stars. Advertising the system would encourage those that was to increase consumer confidence in the safety of their supplements would likely pay for testing.
GRAS List: Similar to medications, items on the GRAS list can receive stars based on the number of studies and the results of those studies.
This system could be applied to products, cosmetics, foods, and all items that are FDA approved.
This process would make it easy and convenient for consumers to purchase products with some knowledge regarding the potential risks involved.
August 7, 2009 at 2:45 pm | #7
Consumers assume that just because they can buy it at stores that it was "approved" by the government. They automatically think that if they are able to buy it in a store that its safe. The FDA needs to let consumers know that not all products have been approved by the government.
October 7, 2009 at 8:29 pm | #8
Soon after my daughter was diagnosed with a life-threatening food allergy to sesame, I wrote to FDA and asked if FDA was considering regulating sesame along with the other allergens already covered under the FALCPA.
On March 10, 2008, an FDA employee from the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition replied that:
"We have to assure compliance with the current regulations but I have no idea what the future may hold. If/when a change is implemented it will be announced. We are not permitted by law to discuss any issue before us for consideration."
If indeed there is a law that prohibits FDA from discussing with the public whether they are considering regulations in a specific area, this does appear to be a major obstacle to FDA's desire for transparency and increased communication with the public. I would suggest that this law should be changed.
On the other hand, if there is no such law, this would argue for the need for questions from the public to the FDA to be posted on a public site like this so that consumers can get accurate answers and hold FDA accountable.
I did save this email correspondence.
The present loopholes, which allow companies and the FDA to keep data from aborted and unfinished medical device trials in a "black box," not only endangers the American public and most specifically trial participants, but also keeps science from moving forward and undermines any appearance that the FDA is operating in a transparent manner.
When you are commencing a new company you undoubtedly want to occur up with a catchy organization title that will be special from other individuals out there. An appealing organization title will do a lot more than just make your enterprise stand out from others.
My spouse and I absolutely love your blog and find a lot of your post's to be just what I'm looking for. Do you offer guest writers to write content to suit your needs? I wouldn't mind creating a post or elaborating on a few of the subjects you write about here. Again, awesome website!

The Ratings Are Back!
We are excited to report that our Front & Finish ratings are back! As most readers are aware, last year was especially difficult as we unexpectedly lost the statistician who provided our rating system breakdowns. Since then we earnestly tried locating another resource, but frustrations mounted in our attempts. It appeared we would no longer be able to provide this service to the fancy, and very regrettably had given up hope.
We recently received the support of Mr. Dave Pluth of Chaska Minnesota. Dave completely redesigned a new tabulation system that allows us to resume publication of our ratings. Due to Dave's impressive capabilities, genuine efforts, and sincere love of dogs we are now able to move forward and begin publishing the 2013 competition year results. We wish to extend our most sincere gratitude to Dave for the kindness he has extended to us and the fancy we serve.
