CEP America is one of the largest democratic physician partnerships in the US. With more than 1,600 physician Partners - none of whom owns more than 0.05% of the organization - we consider ourselves the torchbearer for the democratic group practice model and the independent practice of hospital-based medicine.
In the increasingly complex healthcare landscape, many physician groups have found it difficult to keep up with new regulations and hospital demands.
In recent years, we have successfully added more than 30 independent physician groups and hospitals, with ED volumes ranging from 20,000 to 200,000 visits per year, to CEP America's democratic partnership. Our physician group integration assures a smooth transition of current physicians into the CEP America culture and organizational structure.
CEP America's Partnership structure also offers a unique opportunity to practicing hospitalists. No other democratic physician group in the US extends full and equal partnership status to inpatient physicians. With emergency, urgent care, and inpatient physicians all having an equal voice in the direction of the partnership, we can guarantee successful integration and cooperation across the acute care continuum at all of our practice locations.
Many of our sites benefit from individually customized scribe programs. Our team of dedicated scribes is recognized as an integral part of the medical team, increasing physicians' productivity, efficiency, and job satisfaction while also improving the quality of care, patient throughput, physician reimbursement, and patient satisfaction scores. Most importantly, scribes allow providers to spend more time at the bedside with their patients.
Today's practice economy continues to create new challenges for physicians, and CEP America resources, while robust, continually decrease in cost for each individual physician due to economies of scale savings that are passed on. By merging with a transparent, open democratic group, you position yourself to be ahead of the curve as healthcare reform demands stringent quality initiatives and creates increasing payment complexities.

From Partners
"We joined CEP in May 2005…Since that time, we have been able to recruit outstanding physicians from across the country. We feel empowered as valued members of our local group and as equal Partners in CEP. Among our successes in the past year, we can count improved relations with administration, nursing and the medical staff—all of which contribute to excellent job satisfaction for each one of us. Would we make the same decision again? A resounding Yes!"
The Acute Care Continuum
The Acute Care Continuum is the integration of urgent, emergent, inpatient, and post-discharge care of patients with acute medical conditions.

Sara Ahrens' Offbeat: Where Sara reviews the Colt Pro CRP-18 — a 3-Gun ready, modern sporting rifle.
Last summer I had the opportunity to learn how to compete in 3-Gun for an episode of The Outdoor Channel's "Shooting Gallery." Not having any prior experience in 3-Gun competitions, I found myself scrambling to obtain the necessary gear and equipment. One piece of equipment that is necessary in order to give myself a fighting chance in a competition is a sporting rifle outfitted for 3-Gun competitions.
Out-of-the-box impression
I contacted Colt Firearms in search of a sporting rifle for 3-Gun, because it manufactures a full line of competition rifles. I selected the 3-Gun ready CRP-18. I immediately noted the 3-Gun customizations. The first characteristics I observed included the match-grade, polished stainless-steel barrel, adjustable gas block and extended charging handle.
The extended charging handle requires installation, so I immediately attempted to separate the upper and lower receivers. The upper and lower receivers are so tightly fitted that I struggled to disassemble them … I felt like a weakling and I'm grateful no one witnessed my struggle! The upper and lower receivers are precision forged, making them structurally solid.
I eventually succeeded in disassembly. Upon removing the bolt carrier assembly, I noted that it lacked lubricant, so, I disassembled the bolt carrier group to inspect and lubricate it. Again, I noticed very tight tolerances. Now, understand that the majority of my experience in working on rifles has been as an armorer for law enforcement. Our rifles are old and abused. So, aside from my own personal sporting rifle purchase, this is only the 2nd sporting rifle I have handled that can be considered "brand new." So, my astonishment in the tightness of the upper and lower receivers and the bolt carrier assembly may be misguided, since I'm comparing it to only 1 other gun. The Colt Pro CRP-18 is notably sturdier and the tolerances are tighter than what I have.
My first range experience ends in defeat
The Colt Pro CRP-18 is stamped as ".223," but, the manual indicated that either .223 or 5.56×45 ammo, can be used. I used 5.56×45 factory ammo. I fired my first round from the firearm with ease. With my second shot, I heard a "click" but no "bang." I attempted to perform a malfunction drill, but couldn't cycle the bolt. I could see that the locking lugs were locked up in the chamber and the charging handle stuck. I suspected there was a live round in the chamber, so I removed the magazine, placed the weapon on safe and fought with the charging handle, before eventually admitting defeat. I took it home and asked for my husband's help. My husband also is certified to work on this platform, and I felt redeemed when he, too, struggled. With teamwork we unlocked the locking lugs and cleared the round.
I contacted Colt and sent the firearm back. They advised that the gas block had rotated slightly … in all fairness, this may have happened when we forced the charging handle back to clear the round. Since this malfunction, I have researched my experience, and found many such instances online. Most of the forums I read described this issue as occurring "during the break-in period," and correcting itself after firing rounds. I didn't observe any obvious signs of pressure problems with the spent casings, but suspect that the 5.56 ammo may have contributed.
Second trip to the range ends on a happy note
Colt sent me a replacement firearm. And, just to make sure, I changed ammunition to .223. I experienced no further hiccups. The tolerances on the second rifle are just as tight as the first, might I add. I took the firearm to the range, and realized its potential.
I enjoy the balance of the Colt — it's not front heavy. The barrel has a thin profile and is fluted, this adds to the feeling of balance. The Geissele, 2-stage trigger has a clean break and no "take up" or "travel." It is a mere 3.5 pounds — not too heavy or too light. Although the CRP-18 doesn't come with sights, it does come with a Picatinny rail. I mounted my EOTech optics and I am able to shoot a respectable group at 100 yards. Colt guarantees an accuracy of 3 rounds, within a 1-inch grouping, at 100 yards. I didn't quite get those results (closer to 3 inches, but that's the operator, not the firearm). Once I had a grouping I was comfortable with, I moved on to shooting drills at closer distances.
For a new competitor, purchasing a firearm like the Colt CRP-18 eliminates the guesswork in customization options. Unfortunately for me, several weeks after getting comfortable with the rifle, I broke my back. This injury interrupted my plans to compete in 2013 … but there's always 2014.

Technology and Hate
Why must we hate Apple, Google or Microsoft? Why can't we be in more than one camp. Why is it that the Verge hates Microsoft and has found a way to make money from click bait articles enflamining their supporters? Really, what is that all about? Windows Phone has tons of Apps; High quality apps at that. The Verge's staff is Android and Apple lovers. Short of Tom and Vlad, they don't like anything from Microsoft. They cover their products because Microsoft is the 300lb gorilla you have to cover, but their articles are always written with pessimism, distain, doubt, and overly subjective comments that border on unprofessionalism. If being a blogger is truly even considered a profession. Microsoft is missing one key app for windows phone and that's Instagram. Instagram is critical, not for its crappy filters (Windows phone includes filters native in most manufacturers standard camera apps and there are 50 Instagram competitors on windows phone), but for its millions of users. The Verge staff talk ecosystem but for all things Microsoft that means any App they might be missing that they use on android or iOS. Everyone knows that An ecosystem is a community of living organisms (plants, animals and microbes) in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment (things like air, water and mineral soil), interacting as a system. Well if you apply that to technology, Microsoft has the most robust and comprehensive ecosystem ever created in the history of modern technology. They have Software on Phones, Tablets, PC, Laptops and the Xbox 360 all working together. They have Entertainment Systems that work across devices. They have Games across all devices. They have Millions of Apps across 3 out of the 5 devices and hundreds of thousands across the other two (Phones & Tablets) When you read an article on the Verge that involves anything regarding Microsoft and you don't see Tom and sometimes Vlad, we know its click bate for advertising revenue numbers. And the question is WHY?

This article is all my own conjecture and opinion, so please take it as such. However, it doesn't necessarily mean that the broad scope of some or all of what I'm suggesting is untrue.
The lack of a new basketball coach (and the number of guys to turn it down) reveal much about the actual state of Gophers athletics relative to the national scene. We've all wondered how it is the Gophers can excel at so many sports except for the biggest ones? Volleyball, wrestling, baseball - even hockey (current meltdown notwithstanding). The firing of Tubby Smith, in my opinion, has brought out shadows of all the skeletons in the closet working against the U becoming a big time sports university.
1) The 'Aw-shucks' Problem.
Listen to Sid Hartman (who I'm sure you're close personal friends with, because who isn't these days?). What he says is true - we don't believe that we can be big time. We don't believe that it's our right to deserve anything more than mediocre - except in hockey. Interesting, that. Our women's hockey team just dominated a season like no other, and I feel like all is right in the world and its not a big deal. The men's team just lost to Yale, and I'm wondering if Lucia is losing his touch. We don't mess around with hockey in this state, but football and basketball? Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice - well, we Minnesotans ain't gonna be fooled again apparently.
2) Facilities
The lack of a new men's basketball coach isn't a money problem (Shaka Smart could make double what he got here or at UCLA. Hoiberg could've gotten more.) Flip didn't say no because of money. And it's not the Big Ten either - a nicely competitive league with its own cable network (and $$$ and exposure coming in). It's not lack of recruiting talent per se - see the local Big Three and number of Big Ten products who get drafted into the NBA. No, I think it's coming down to facilities and another factor that I'll address next.
There was a recent ESPN or SI article on Hoiberg (before we wanted to hire him) talking about how he loves Ames and everything. It wasn't lost on me that they referenced following him around in Iowa State's sparkly new practice facility and he looked around and said he loved it there. As much as it doesn't matter to me, it matters to teenagers what kind of facilities they're going to be put up in. And right now, no national caliber coach worth his salt is coming within 10 feet of the U of MN because we've got no practice facility and a not vintage enough with cool modifications to be hip Barn.
My guess is if we didn't have TCF Bank stadium, it would've been harder to get Jerry Kill to come, and even if he did, would've been harder to keep him here. There's a reason why Teague is willing to give him whatever he wants. Winning football means more money for every other sport.
3) Culture
In terms of hockey, football, and a lot of other sports, the Twin Cities has a lot to offer. What I mean is that culturally, if you're a football player, there's not much up here to necessarily turn you off. It's the Big Ten, we love hard workers and underdogs, and appreciate toughness and other manly activities such as hunting and fishing.
Basketball, however, is unique among the sports in that it is (and I mean this in the nicest way possible) the most ego driven of all the sports. No where is individual talent more impactful on a team's season than in basketball. Now, we love winners here, but we don't like prima donnas. We like underdogs, but we don't like players who think they're better than they are and simply underperform. I'm not saying that all basketball players are prima donnas with an overinflated sense of themselves, but I am suggesting that guys who are top ten recruits in the nation understand full well that their lives are going to be very different than most recruits, and that in the case of Tyus Jones, for example, he could be a high NBA draft pick in two years, perhaps earning more on his rookie contract per year than his college coach. Who has the power then? Furthermore, I'm not sure Minnesota feels all that welcoming to guys coming from a basketball culture. I look at the Timberwolves as the best example of this. They have a hard time holding on to guys if money and winning are equal between options. It's hard to compete with places like Miami, or Chicago, or places where hoops are a part of the fabric of the city. We have hockey rinks here. That's what people in the broader public relate to, not basketball courts. It's something we have to overcome to get bigtime national recruits.
In many ways basketball is set of fiefdoms, with different guys recruiting players or executives or coaches to their fiefdom and giving out just enough power to keep the peace (and keep people in line). This is the milieu Teague comes out of. What has he learned so far? He's not alpha enough over Smart anymore to get him to come here. In fact, he couldn't win out over Hoiberg either. The whole Flip Saunders thing revealed the country club aspect of the U, which Teague rightfully drew a line against and then (and I can't keep what actually happened there straight) marched right over himself (potentially) by wanting to choose assistant coaches.
Without adequate facilities, Teague is dealing from a weak fiefdom, and he simply doesn't have the currency to establish the kind of basketball hierarchy he wants.
4) The Solution
Simple. Find the Jerry Kill of college basketball who would jump at the opportunity to compete in the Big Ten. A young guy who has a track record of winning, who'd be amazed by a $1.5 million a year salary, and who is just enthusiastic about the opportunity.
Next, fundraise like your job depends on it (because it does) and build the best damn football and basketball practice facilities you can afford, followed by a really sweet renovation of the Barn (say, improve seating and lighting and scoreboards so it feels like a swank loft or something, but not a wholesale overhaul of the Barn).
That's it. Kill will improve the football side, new guy will improve the basketball side, and the U athletic department should be flush with money in the coming years.
But until that happens, appreciate what you're seeing right now as it is showing the truth of where the U actually is in terms of competing at a national level in college athletics. There really is a lot of work to do, and we can either step up to the plate or continue to accept mediocrity.

If you've been to Bundick Lake in Beauregard Parish lately, you probably noticed -- it looks as though they've pulled the plug. "I wanna know, why they drained the lake?," asked Lillian Gaskins, a resident. She and her granddaughter want to know what happened to the water in the lake.In March 2012, there was flooding. The way it appears right now is a sharp contrast. Usually, the spillway is covered with white, rushing water. Now, the concrete is dry and it's next to a mud flat.
Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries asked for the drawdown in part at the request of property owners and it started in September.
Fisheries biologist, Eric Shanks, said it will help get rid of aquatic weeds such as the salvinia and improve fishing. Plus, officials plan to restock it. Residents all around the lake are making repairs and building. Resident Nathan Schexnider plans to get a lot done while the water is down, repairing docks and such. There's also maintenance on the gate structure and spillway. It's work residents hope will help flooding or even pave the way for future improvements. For now, residents say where there is water, fishing is good.
They expect to let the lake refill in January. After that, drawdowns are planned about every five years.
Following this story is the drawdown schedule from Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries.
Copyright 2013 KPLC. All rights reserved.
2013 DRAWDOWN SCHEDULE FOR BUNDICK LAKE1) Work to be accomplished prior to gate opening (Spring/Summer 2013)a. Conduct public hearing on proposed drawdown plans.b. Meet with BPPJ to discuss plans with them and get their written approvalc. Contact local DOTD personnel to discuss work needs.d. Add official 5 year drawdown schedule and relevant documentation to Bundick Lake management plan.2) Gate opening September 10, 2013a. Work with local DOTD personnel to maintain 91' MSL lake elevationb. Work with BPPJ and DOTD to repair spillway launch and conduct any other feasible maintenance items from (1c) above.3) Gate closure January 15, 2014
From Louisiana DOTD
At the request of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, DOTD began the process of lowering the water level of Bundick Lake on September 10. To lower the water, the gate structure was opened allowing water to flow through the bypass structure.
DOTD has taken advantage of the low water level to do maintenance work on the gate structure and spillway. Work on the spillway included cleaning and sealing a few joints with the concrete.
We anticipate closing the gate in January 2014.
For additional information regarding the drawdown at Bundick Lake, please contact Eric Shanks, with Wildlife and Fisheries, at 337-491-2577.

Children's centre is burgled
10:40am Friday 4th January 2013 in News
THIEVES broke into and ransacked a charity building which serves children from across Oxfordshire.
The raiders used heavy objects to smash four external doors and six internal doors at Thomley Activity Centre, a recreational centre for disabled children, in Worminghall.
They also broke into filing cabinets, causing several thousands of pounds of damage. An old laptop, a digital camera and around £50 in petty cash was snatched.
Staff discovered the break-in early on Saturday morning.
Director Claire Acworth, from Iffley, Oxford, could not understand why anybody could be so callous.
Miss Acworth, 42, said: "All of us were just shocked that anybody could be so heartless to break into a children's charity."
- People who wish to make a donation to the charity can do so via justgiving.com/thomley hall/Donate or email fundraising@thomley hall.org

If you seriously can't understand why they're so callous or heartless then you're truly very naive.
Theives don't care about you or anyone else regardless of the age of the immediate or indirect victims. As for why... well they got an old laptop worth very little, around £50 in petty cash and a digital camera. In all they might end up with £100 which means that they're £100 better off than they were beforehand, so that's why they did it.
They went with nothing and came out with something. That's the way these scumbags think. They don't care about the damage caused or the distress to any individual regardless of who they are.

I doubt that I will need a long time to convince most of you that the economy is still far less than robust; but in case you need reminding, here is a single tidbit to consider. According to an article in the Seattle Times, the city of Tacoma, Washington advertised a job opening for a parking meter-reader; they intended to hire one person. Fourteen hundred people applied for the job. Cabeesh?
The economic situation continues to deliver blunt instrument trauma to the sports world. You know about the Yankees and the Mets attendance shortfalls. Consider that the Yankees and the Mets play in an area where their ardent fans had – past tense – more than a little disposable income to spend on baseball tickets. This year, both teams are in new stadia and neither team is close to selling out the place. If that message remains subtle, then someone is not paying attention.
The effect of the economy on the NHL will be seen in living color as the business related to the bankruptcy and sale of the Phoenix Coyotes proceeds. Gary Bettman – like his mentor David Stern – loves to proclaim great progress and success in everything his league does. Notwithstanding his proclamations, Game 7 of the Caps/Penguins series featuring the two biggest young stars of the league going head-to-head, the TV audience for that game nationwide was estimated at just under 650,000. Meanwhile, on that same evening, also on cable TV – - not network TV – - Game 6 of the Lakers/Rockets series attracted an audience of just over 6 million.
Memo to Gary Bettman: Check the local ratings on that evening in Phoenix. How many fans watched basketball versus hockey in that city that night? Neither game had a local team involved. Those ratings might give you a clue about why your hockey franchise died on the vine.
However, lest you get the impression that the NBA is healthy, let me suggest ever so politely that it too is in deep yogurt – despite David Stern's dismissal of any suggestion that there is anything to be concerned about. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain… The rest of this rant will focus on NBA economic concerns.
Back in the first round of the NBA playoffs as the Cleveland Cavaliers were up two games to none on the Detroit Pistons in a series that produced exactly no drama or intrigue at all, the series was set to move north to Detroit. The Pistons could not sell out the place for the playoff game; in fact, they were not even close to selling out. So, the Pistons sent e-mail invitations to Cleveland Cavalier season ticket holders inviting them to come to Detroit (about a 3-hour drive) to see the playoff series continue there. Ladies and gentlemen, Detroit is a very good sports town; they support their teams very well even when the teams do not do very well. This is another bludgeon to the head for sports execs regarding the economic condition…
The NBA business model needs re-examination in the next collective bargaining agreement. There are several axioms of the NBA that may need to change and the first of them is the guaranteed contract. Nothing damages the product on the floor worse than a team signing a player to a large six-year contract only to have that player show up for games and give a nonchalant effort for the first five seasons. It kills the team; if the contract is a big one it can prevent the signing of other players; most of all, it annoys the fans. Other than that, it is just fine and dandy. Players need some degree of "protection" in their deals but a full guarantee of salary is no longer the answer. Review for just a moment the contract history of Stephon Marbury as an example of how a guaranteed contract just does not work.
The NBA is a league that lives on marketing its star players. There is nothing wrong with that – - so long as the star players are distributed around the league and each is surrounded by something other than rejects from the Washington Generals. Fans pay good money to see Kobe Bryant and LeBron James and Kevin Garnett and Chris Paul and etc. They do not pay good money to see "supporting cast players". Nevertheless, without competent "supporting casts", none of those stars would be nearly as exciting or as big a drawing card as they could be. So, perhaps there needs to be a formula derived regarding the distribution of salaries within a team salary structure?
The league and the union would do well to find a way to keep cohesive teams in place for more than a single season. NBA fans have been conditioned to identify with the star players and not the team jerseys; that is fine so long as the games are competitive and entertaining but when those conditions are not present, the fans need something to root for – or against. Teams that stay together over a period of several seasons are hardly the norm anymore. That does not help with fan interest and attention.
The league also needs to figure out how to reduce the season. This will reduce revenue and drive down whatever form of salary cap that the league has in place. That sounds like a bad idea but I do not think it is. Far too many NBA regular season games are "shoot-arounds" until the final 10 minutes when players begin to play hard. I do not read minds so I do not know if this is because the players are fatigued from the number of games and the travel arrangements or if this is because the players lose interest in an 82-game season. Or both.
Whatever the cause, a fan that pays anything near $100 a seat – assuming that fan knows anything at all about basketball – will not be happy to leave the arena realizing that he just watched 10 minutes of serious play and 38 minutes of "grab-ass". At least 50% of the regular-season NBA games could be classified as "passion deprived"; the translation for that would be "boring". I suspect that fewer games will make each game a better "entertainment value" and that is precisely what the NBA needs right now. Attendance is way down in several cities and down enough for other teams to notice. Part of that decline is due to the fact that people now are looking at how to spend discretionary income and some are deciding that regular season NBA games are not worth the money. In far too many instances, they are absolutely right.
I have to mention here something I have been in favor of for at least the past decade. The NBA needs to consider contraction. Recall, the league had to take out a loan of approximately $200M from the troubled US banking system to use as a way to infuse liquidity into various teams in the league who could not get loans from banks once credit tightened last year. There is no way that fact is a "good thing". There is also no way that the league or the individual teams are going to open their books to let the union or the public see which teams are in the most serious financial peril. Nevertheless, some are in bad shape and others are in worse shape. Even though it would mean reduced numbers of jobs for players and reduced revenue for the league, it may be time to contract the NBA. Here are 12 of the 30 franchises in the league (40% of the teams!) that might be in sufficient difficulty that it makes sense to "redistribute their assets" around the league:
Charlotte: This is college basketball country. The NBA did well here for about three or four years but the bloom is off the rose.
Sacramento: Unless the team is a threat to win it all, attendance is "limited".
LA Clippers: Any questions?
Memphis: This town did not work in the ABA; it is not working in the NBA.
OK City: Maybe this franchise will work out because there is no other pro sports team within a few hundred miles, but is that worth the gamble?
New Orleans: There are two pro franchises in town. The Hornets will always be #2. Always…
Atlanta: One of the two worst pro sports towns in the country.
Miami: The other of the two worst pro sports towns in the country. Love seeing those bright orange empty seats on TV for playoff games.
Indiana: There are reports that the team is losing $30M a year. If that is even close to correct, that cannot go on for long.
Washington: Like Sacramento, attendance drops like a rock when the team is not in contention. The biggest front-runner fans in the country…
New Jersey: Like New Orleans, the Nets will always be the #2 team in the NYC market. Always…
Philadelphia: The team has not drawn well for a while now; their announced attendance numbers should be filed under "F" for "Fictional".
From that list, the league could surely find a way to cut down to 24 teams at the most. I would cut all the way to 20; but that's just me…
Finally, here is a comment from Greg Cote of the Miami Herald regarding the intersection of the sports world and the economy:
"A 1909 Honus Wagner baseball card sold at auction for $1.62 million. Unless the card includes a secret code to the whereabouts of about $1.61 million in hidden treasure, I'm thinking the buyer overpaid."
But don't get me wrong, I love sports…

"What Gainey would offer in return is anyone's guess, but my take is that such a move would not test team chemistry. The prospects not going anywhere, anytime soon are Max Pacioretty, Yannick Weber, and Ryan McDonagh. Matt D' Agostini's name will come up, as will goalie Jaroslav Halak." Robert L Nov 2008
Looking familiar? A few months removed we are from this post from our beloved blogger, and I ponder does any of it stand true today? Obviously we are missing McDonagh, in a rare and bizarre twist of fate that Gainey believed necessary for the good of 09 Habs. We are all waiting to pass judgement on this move.
Halak is my biggest concern out of this group. He's a solid goaltender who will not forever feed off the left over minutes from a not yet proven superstar. And after the time spent on the bench during the 07 and 08 playoffs, there needs to be some re-adjustment to current practices. The reality is, when the day comes to re-sign Halak, and he's wondering about playing time, I do not believe this talented Czech goaltender will be accepting of "we'll see". This is the year to part ways with the idea that Price is going to play 60 games and fair a winning percentage of 700 and have two goalies fresh enough so that when the play offs start they can manage a win with either one. If Price is going again to have the lions share of time, he needs to pony up. I think the fair thing, and I know my idealist character does not fit well in the world of business or roster making, but fair in the sense of getting the best out of what we have, I think a 3 to 1 ratio for games would be a good way to go... at least to begin the season with. Should Halak out perform Price, so be it, he then gets the 2 to 1 in his favor. These guys have years to perfect their talent, but in the mean time should we be the ones to sit and watch while one of them gets ruined? And the idea of getting rid of him and watching him play the starring role on some other team sickens me as much as it did after I watched Vokoun play in Fredricton and then get shipped to Nashville for nothing. He wold have eased us out of the Thibault/Theodore/Hacket eras. But I digress. Here's to the Habs doing what is right to get us into Cup Contention in 09/10!!
As for what will happen for Pacioretty, I am confident he will far outplay Guillaume. I'm sorry but think La-tenderness is passe... so too is O'Byrne. La-tenderness has shown some flare and ability and a consistent bettering of stats for his first number of years. Give the guy credit where it is due. But what kinda role is he supposed to be playing here in Montreal? He's lean and big, but rarely gets the tough goals. He can skate but doesn't on a consistent basis. And if he's paired with other bangers... his o stats are going to go down the tube. We cannot play him on the top two lines because of who else we have, and we lose part of him when he's buried in the 3rd and 4th. So what exactly do we do with him?? Yes he's a francophone and will do well in the eyes of the media (take a look at the guys on La Presse, or Demers, or the crew on TQS.. he's loved and adored by them). But francophone or not..its time to put up the stats he's being asked to contribute, or... sadly move on.
And the young D... all I have to say about them is... IN DUE TIME.... we'll get to see them when the time is right. Looking forward to Subban's enthuiasm for the game... and can't wait for his canon to be released on the PP.
Lets hope for the entertainment value none of these guys disappear in trades. I feel with all of the changes, keeping some things together for another little while will be important.

Look, to be fair. I know most of you think I am one sided and very opinionated with regards to Haley and especially Matt Cassel. I understand that. But let's clear the air. I am VERY opionated, but I'm very flexible. My opinion is based on what I see. If I see horrible things on the field every Sunday, then my opionion will be based on what I see; horrible things.
But if that changes and I see good things, then my opinion will be based on what I see at that time; good things.
So yes I am opinionated but never set in stone. In a moment I will throw out a few stats that really impressed me. Especially given that these stats are from a team that is really no more than an old school expansion team. Given that the "new" rules actually give expansion teams a lot of advantages nowadays. And, also given the fact that our team is made up mostly, of what I consider to be next years's elite backups, these stats are very cool. Let's jump then we'll talk.
Let's face it. We do not have a high number of players starting for us this year that will be starters next year. I mean not many of them are good enough to start for any team in the NFL. But their starting here. And that's important to me. You see these guys have carried the load of a starter in the NFL, when most of them were probably expecting to be a backup for some team. I doubt many of them saw themselves ending up in KC and starting. So when Pioli does his draft magic and FA magic next year, which he better do and I mean that, and he gets us some high calibre starters, many of our starters this year will be demoted to 2nd team. So we should have the best backups in the NFL next year and I think that is going to play into our hand huge! Remember I said that and we will see if I'm right or not, but that's my thinking on that.
Ok how about this for good? We are 7th ranked in least amount of penalties. What? You got's tuh give Haley some love on that. Hey he has a real lack of talent to work with, but he's got them at least playing penalty free football, which is always credit to the coaching staff. That is undeniably a good check on the board for Haley. I feel that fact alone is all too ofent overlooked, way overlooked with our team. How impressive. With all the rag tag guys we've shuffled in and out of here, we are 7th. That's awesome.
Chiefs are 7th best in fewest int's per game. 7th folks. That's really good, especially considering the number of top quality QB's in the league this year.
Our turnover margin is 11th in the NFL. Better than Arizona, Dallas, the Giants and the suprisingly hot Cincinnati Bengals. All this from a team that has only been this team as it stands right now for two weeks. That's it. Two weeks with the current roster. As soon as Chambers made his mark Bowe got suspended. It's been one thing after another hasn't it?
We are number two in number of opponent penalties caused. TWO. The Chiefs being number two in any positive statitstic is a miracle in and of itself.
Look, the fact that Haley has this team not turning the ball over and not being penalized is to his credit. I believe that together with Pioli they decided to fix this team with a methodical one thing at at time approach. How so? I thought you would never ask.
Almost certainly Haley and Pioli would have realized that they were taking over a team that was a complete failure on every level. Knowing you can't possibly step in last minute and expect to fix every component on a team with this many issues, I'm sure they decided to pick one component at a time and make it awesome.
Lets lay out the most basic components of a team. They would be a) offense b) defense c) special teams d) fundamentals (penalties and turnovers). You just acquired the KC Chiefs, where would you start since you know you cannot possibly fix the whole thing in one season?
Do you try to build evenly? Do you pick one or two components and focus all your energy on them until they become awesome? Then you pick the next component and do the same thing until all the components are awesome? I myself would do the latter. I would not build evenly if I were Pioli. I would pick just one or two components and focus everything on making them awesome.
It seems to me the components they felt they could fix the quickest and have the biggest impact on right away were special teams and fundamentals. Maybe they said something like "Look, lets just take one thing and really make it awesome and just get it out of the way so we don't even have to think about it come next year's draft". You can't possible fix this offense and defense both in one season. No way. So I think they wanted to pick one part of the team and make it awesome immediately. Get it fixed and get it out of the way.
They have turned our special teams into a top ten into a top ten unit. With this team, that's saying a lot. I'm sure that next year, since they won't have to worry about special teams they will turn their attention to something else and make it really good as well. They will pick either the offense or defense and just make that their main priority. Then the following year they fix the whatever's left and we're on our way.
I actually saw our offense come out swinging against the Chargers. But we are still the Chiefs and it showed. But none the less we did look better than all year to that point on an opening drive. Yes I see improvement and I will give Haley his props for it. GO Chiefs.
I believe we have the potential to win the rest of our games if we played "A" game from beginning to end. We won't of course. But it's nice to finally see something good coming out of all this.

The Myth: The Protocols of the Elders of Zion are the records of 24 (or 27) meetings held in Basel at the time of the First Zionist Congress in 1897. They detail a secret conspiracy by Jews to subvert existing governments and take over the world. Sometimes Freemasons are included as allies of the Jews; liberalism and socialism are to be used as tools.
The Truth: While a text known as the Protocols of the Elders of Zion exists this is, in reality, an absolute, 100% fake.
The Great Fraud
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is one the greatest and most perniciously successful frauds in European and world history: in some regions the Protocols remain in print today, providing a false justification for anti-Semitism and conspiracy theories. Rather than originating with the First Zionist Conference, the Protocols were created at the end of the nineteenth century in Russia, by people who Neil MacMaster has called "proto-fascists." (MacMaster, Racism in Europe, p. 148). They were members of the Tsar's secret police, and used the Protocols to try and undermine liberal reformers and socialist agitators. They were printed in a Russian newspaper in 1903, and then edited by an agent of the Russian Tsar called Serge Nilus, and reprinted.
After the First World War ended and the Tsar's government had been swept away by the Bolshevik revolution, fears of uprisings were high in Europe, and the Protocols were spread in part to try and portray the Bolsheviks as part of a socialist-Jewish plot and rally opposition, and in part because they were seized upon by a major vein of anti-Semitism which ran through the continent at that time. Supposedly respectable newspapers printed stories based on them, the work was translated many times, certain Catholic priests promoted them, and the Protocols were adopted by many as evidence that their own nascent anti-Semitism was correct. Hitler believed them to be true and cited them when attacking Jews, and it has been argued there's a direct line from the Protocols through Hitler to the Holocaust. When the Protocols spread to America Henry Ford initially used them as evidence of a Jewish plot, although he later recanted.

Delmar, MD --- Saturday (Feb. 15) was a night of great celebration for the Maryland Standardbred industry as the Maryland Standardbred Breeders Association and the Cloverleaf SOA held their annual awards banquet dinner.
The Maryland breeding industry and Maryland Sires Stakes program has exploded with activity in 2014. Maryland now has 35 quality stallions registered for the Maryland Sires Stakes program and tremendous growth is expected.
This was a night, however, to honor and celebrate those breeders, owners and horsemen that bucked the trend to move their breeding and racing stock to surrounding states and kept their operations in Maryland. The numbers were small but the commitment was mighty from everyone that worked to keep the breeding industry alive.
The 2013 2-year-old colt/gelding pacer went to Spinout by Spunout who was bred by A. Daniel Myer and Gary Humphreys and owned by Gary Humphreys. The 2-year-old pacing filly went to Coming Out On Top a Cam's Rocket, bred and owned by Michael Hans. The 2-year-old colt/gelding trotter was awarded to Doc Banning's You Betcha who was bred by Thomas and Linda Winebrener and is owned by Sharon Roberts. The 2-year-old trotting filly was Ruby Rayne by Doggone Yankee, bred by William Long and owned by Dale Massey.
The 2013 3-year-old colt/gelding pacer went to Firecracker Freddy, a Cam's Rocket bred and owned by Roger Hans. Another Cam's Rocket was honored as Bonnie Ben Jammin received the 3-year-old pacing filly of 2013. She was bred and owned by Brian Emerson. Wrapping up the 3-year-old honors were Perfect Tententen by Straight Up Lindy, bred by Meadow Creek Stables, LLC and owned by Elam Petersheim, who received 3-year-old colt/gelding trotter.
Beeder John Tignor received the older pacer award for Southern Allie and Sound The Belle received the older trotter award for Nicholas Callahan.
Roger Hans and Thomas Cooke's Cam's Rocket, whose offspring captured three out of the five pacing awards given, was named Pacing Stallion of the Year, while Straight Up Lindy received the Trotting Stallion honors. He was owned by Jason Leid, when he stood in Maryland.
Special Achievement awards went to Racing Naked, bred by William Camp, Jr.
President Myer ended the evening by awarding Gina Maybee with a President's Award for all of her dedicated work to help the Maryland Standardbred Breeders Association rebuild.
The Maryland Standardbred Breeders Association is excited about the revitalization and opportunities that are happening in the Maryland breeding industry. The association has recently overhauled its website and began an advertising campaign throughout the industry, inviting people to breed in Maryland and expand its membership.
If you would like more information on breeding in Maryland you may go to the website at www.mdbreeders.org or contact President Dan Myer at 410.603.1585.

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - A new proposed ordinance could clear the air in Coronado.
The city council is meeting Tuesday to consider a secondhand smoke ordinance. It seeks to eliminate smoking on almost all public properties.
The proposal came to light after residents started complaining about secondhand smoke in outdoor dining areas and sidewalks where people gathered to smoke.
Similar ordinances are in place in Carlsbad, Chula Vista, Del Mar, National City and 64 other California cities.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Lawyers for a Louisiana man scheduled for execution next week are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to stop the plans.
The arguments filed Thursday with the high court mirror legal pleadings lodged in Baton Rouge-based federal court, seeking a stay of the Feb. 5 execution for Christopher Sepulvado.
Sepulvado's attorneys say there are questions about the lethal injection drugs, how the state will obtain them and whether the method violates Sepulvado's constitutional right against cruel and unusual punishment.
Louisiana's corrections department announced this week it was changing its execution process to a two-drug method used in Ohio, after trouble purchasing another lethal injection drug. Lawyers for Sepulvado say the two-drug combination increases the risk of painful and prolonged death.
Sepulvado was convicted of the 1992 murder of his 6-year-old stepson.

PIERRE -- A California man has been sentenced in federal court in South Dakota for his role in a conspiracy to distribute marijuana. U.S. Attorney Brendan Johnson says 29-year-old Brett McFarland, of Korbel, Calif., was sentenced to five years in prison to be followed by four years of supervised release. McFarland pleaded guilty last November to a drug distribution conspiracy charge. A money laundering conspiracy charge was dropped. Johnson says McFarland has agreed to forfeit to the government his interest in proceeds from the sale of property in Petrolia, Calif., that was bought with drug proceeds.

The West Country region
South Cornwall: between the river Tamar and river Fowey and south of Bodmin Moor is inland Cornwall at its most gentle and lovely: deep, wooded valleys (including on Bodmin Moor's southern edge) between sheep and cattle-grazed fields; tidal creeks (exceptionally pretty Lerryn is on one of them). Most of it is delightfully by-passed by main roads.
On the coast are long sandy beaches (Whitsand Bay), high headlands and sandy coves at the foot of cliffs (Lantic Bay) to walk to, two of Cornwall's loveliest cove villages (Kingsand, Cawsand) and a classic fishing village (Polperro). From Looe - river-mouth fishing village/resort with sandy beach - you can fish and sail. Round here Daphne du Maurier lived and wrote. A branch line railway chugs pleasantly from Liskeard to Looe. Don't miss the Musical Instrument Museum near St Keyne. Just to the west is Cornwall's star modern attraction, The Eden Project, worth a once-a-year visit into the future indefinite, and Lanhydrock, a very lovely National Trust house and garden. Beyond them begins the extraordinary and spectacular china clay country, good for a visit (excellent museum). You should go to Cotehele beside the Tamar, too, and Calstock for the 'messing about in boats' activity.
Kingsand and Cawsand: exquisite adjoining fishing villages in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty sheltered by a wooded headland; pebble-and-sand beaches, family pubs, cafés, essential shops. Watersports hire in Cawsand. Whitsand Bay, 1 mile; Mount Edgcumbe (800 acres for walking), and pedestrian ferry to Plymouth (city amenities, theatre, cinema), 2½ miles. Plymouth by car ferry, 8½ miles.

Former Lancaster play-by-play announcer Jeff Lasky isn't behind the JetHawks' microphone any more, but this weekend he will be part of the team's play-off chase. Lasky (@JeffLaskydotcom) tweeted that he will be calling a few games for the High Desert Mavericks this weekend when they take on Rancho Cucamonga. With nine days left in the first half of the season, High Desert leads the JetHawks in the South Division of the California League by one game. The division race promises to be a tight one as Lake Elsinore is also one game behind High Desert, Rancho Cucamonga trails by only two games with nine games to play.

Democrat Kathleen Vinehout is a Wisconsin state senator from Alma, in western Wisconsin. The former university professor and dairy farmer was elected to the Senate in 2006 and re-elected in 2010. She ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic nomination to run against Gov. Scott Walker in the gubernatorial recall election in 2012.
Recent statements involving Kathleen Vinehout
"If you make the average amount of people in Wisconsin, $50,000, you got $1.60 less a week in taxes" under the state income-tax cut, but "it didn't show up in your paycheck."
Gov. Scott Walker bought "80 new, brand-new vehicles" for the state that "we probably don't need."
Because of Gov. Scott Walker's budgeting, a greater percentage of general fund tax dollars is "going to pay off debt than ever before in our history."
Says 21,000 Wisconsin residents got jobs in 2011, but "18,000 of them" were in other states.
Recent stories featuring Kathleen Vinehout
Five key pieces from our Scott Walker file:
The bright lights of the national media often cast a favorable glow on Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker after the November 2013 release of his book, sowing speculation that he would be a contender for the Republican nomination for president in 2016.
A few months later, on Feb. 23, 2014, the lights might have made Walker feel like he was under the heat of an interrogation.
As Walker continues to stir national interest, we offer a primer on who he is, focusing on recent PolitiFact Wisconsin items on three key themes of his time as governor: jobs, taxes and fiscal responsibility.
Tax cuts, tax hikes? How much and when?:
Not that they're ever far from mind, but taxes have been all over the news in Wisconsin in recent days.
The High Five: Our most-clicked items for September:
Reader favorites last month dealt with the jobs picture, the state budget and a review of Truth-O-Meter items on Obamacare just days before the government shutdown.
We promise to remain open for business, no matter what happens in Washington.
Behind the rhetoric: The in-state, out-of-state campaign money debate:
Both sides say the other is relying on out-of-state contributions in the 2012 gubernatorial recall. We dig into the numbers in the third in our series of background stories on key questions in the race.
A round up of recall charges, counter-charges:
The pace of claims and counter-claims is accelerating as Wisconsin's recall election for governor sprints to its June 5, 2012 conclusion. The primary is May 8.
We've been tracking many of the statements, and will continue to do so in the coming weeks.
Here's a look at the some of the major emerging issues in the early campaign ads.
We want to hear your suggestions and comments. Email the Wisconsin Truth-O-Meter with feedback and with claims you'd like to see checked. If you send us a comment, we'll assume you don't mind us publishing it unless you tell us otherwise.

The awful black feelings, it should be pointed out at once, are only half of bipolar disorder, a condition which deals its blows by swinging between a depressed mood of hopelessness and its polar opposite (hence the name) – an elevated mood of euphoric grandiosity, energy, self-belief and sometimes an embarrassing loss of social or sexual inhibition. It is is easy to think that these upswings are a kind of compensatory bonus that allow manic depressives to be more creative and artistic than other people. While it may be true that certain celebrated writers, painters, composers, statesmen, warriors and inventors have appeared (inasmuch as such retrospective diagnosis can safely be believed) to have been manic depressives, anyone who lives with a seriously bipolar person can tell you that the manic elevated mood is in fact harder to cope with than the black depressed one and that "creative" is not a word one would often use of it. This is not even to mention the "mixed" or "transitional" states that often combine the worst aspects of both extremes.
Let no one be under any illusions. At its most serious, bipolar disorder can be a very very serious condition. Its morbidity rate is high, often because it can typically trace a descent from social norms and supportive structures into homelessness, friendlessness and all the disastrous effects on physical health that poverty, addiction, social rejection and loneliness bring in their train.
Those who think manic depression is a "celebrity disorder" made up by tabloid cuties to excuse their excesses, addictions and descents into bad behaviour, should look at mental health's most serious victims: the marginalised, the poor, the ethnically isolated, the lonely. They have no voice, save the jeers of stone and insult throwing louts, it is they who form the silent majority of sufferers.
Self Medication
It can be no surprise that so many with bipolar disorder, a condition over which they have no control, reach for something that can predictably lift or lower their mood at their bidding in their own time and under their own terms. Drugs and alcohol appear to offer at least that kind of relief. This is known in the trade as "self-medication" or amongst those without sympathy, imagination, sense or decency as "a feeble excuse for weakness" or "self-indulgent nonsense". But just imagine how tempting it is to reach for a bottle or narcotic powder: the intensity and misery can be numbed and life can seem more bearable. At a cost, naturally: a financial cost, a social cost, a physiological cost, a cost that can lead to ruin. As with all addictions progressively more of the stuff is needed to produce the same effect until inevitably the substance abuse becomes the problem, masking the mood disorder beneath.
Which is not to say that all alcoholics or drug addicts are bipolar or that all with bipolar disorder succumb to substance abuse. The uncomfortable, as well as the miraculous, fact about the human mind is how it varies from individual to individual. The process of treatment can therefore be long and complicated. Finding the right balance of drugs, whether lithium salts, anti-psychotics, SSRIs or other kinds of treatment can be a very hit or miss heuristic process requiring great patience and classy, caring doctoring. Some patients would rather reject the chemical path and look for ways of using diet, exercise and talk-therapy. For some the condition is so bad that ECT is indicated. One of my best friends regularly goes to a clinic for doses of electroconvulsive therapy, a treatment looked on by many as a kind of horrific torture that isn't even understood by those who administer it. This friend of mine is just about one of the most intelligent people I have ever met and she says, "I know. It ought to be wrong. But it works. It makes me feel better. I sometimes forget my own name, but it makes me happier. It's the only thing that works." For her. Lord knows, I'm not a doctor, and I don't understand the brain or the mind anything like enough to presume to judge or know better than any other semi-informed individual, but if it works for her…. well then, it works for her. Which is not to say that it will work for you, for me or for others.

Mexico is an attractive market to many medical device manufacturers. In 2008, medical devices imported into the country were valued at US $3.1 billion. Also, from 2006-2008 there was an annual increase (in dollars of imported medical devices) of approximately 11%, indicating an increasing demand for imported medical devices. Mexico also has a large population; according to recent estimates, the country's population ranks 12th in the world.
For some time now there have been delays in the reviews of medical device submissions in Mexico. This is due to the high volume of submissions as well as to a shortage in the number of staff reviewing medical device submissions. Also, a regulatory amendment that was published on January 2, 2008 requires that all existing medical device registrations older than five years must be renewed by 24 February 2010. This was to better align the registrations since, all new registrations since 2007 were included with the text that the registrations were only valid for a period of five years.
A new amendment that was published on 19 June might speed up the regulatory process. The amendment sets out strict rules on deadlines for reviewing regulatory submissions for imported devices. It will, at the very least, make clear the status of a medical device submission.
This article focuses on the registration process for medical devices in Mexico with a particular emphasis on imports.
In Mexico, medical devices fall under the purview of the Comisiόn Federal para la Protecciόn contra Riesgos Sanitarios (COFEPRIS), a division of the Ministry of Health (Salud or Secretaría de Salud).
COFEPRIS's mandate covers applying national health risk protection policy; improving and exercising the regulation, control, sanitary surveillance and evaluation of health risks from products, activities and establishments under its competence; and carrying out the Health Ministry's functions on the environmental impact on health, occupational health, hazardous residues, basic sanitation, accidents involving toxic, dangerous or radioactive substances and health protection in advertising. COFEPRIS, which was established in July 2001, comprises the following five integrated directorates: Medicinal Products and Health Technologies, Sanitary Control of Products and Services, Environmental and Occupational Health, Sanitary Control of Advertising, and the National Public Health Laboratory.
The legal framework for the medical device regulatory process in Mexico is the General Health Law (Ley General de Salud).The law grants the relevant ministries and agencies in Mexico the authority to establish regulations within their mandate to protect humans, animals, plant health and the environment. It also establishes the administrative procedures by which regulations are developed and promulgated.
Article 194 bis of the law defines health supplies that are the subject of the law. Articles 204 and 376 stipulate that certain health instruments or health supplies sold or supplied in Mexico require health authorisation and registration (registro sanitario). Article 262 describes the following six categories of medical device use: medical equipment; prosthesis, orthosis and functional aids; diagnostic agents (in vitro diagnostic devices); odontological supplies; surgical materials and wound care; and sanitary products.
An implementing regulation that provides greater context to the law is the Regulation of Health Supplies (Reglamento de Insumos para la Salud). The regulation grants COFEPRIS the power to act independently of the Mexican Ministry of Health. The regulation – specifically under the Second Title, Supplies, and within Chapter 9, Other Supplies, Article 82 – specifies that the six categories of products above (and other devices for medical use) require a sanitary registration if they are to be produced, sold or distributed in Mexico.
There is no formal definition of a medical device in the Ley General de Salud or in the Reglamento de Insumos para la Salud. A description of the products in the six categories of use is provided in Article 262 of the Ley General de Salud. The definition of a medical device is included in a general COFEPRIS guidance document on the requirements to register medical devices as well as in a COFEPRIS Frequently Asked Questions document on medical devices. The definition is as follows:
Substance, mixture of substances, material, apparatus or instrument (including the software for its appropriate use or application), used alone or in combination in the diagnosis, monitoring or prevention of illnesses in humans or in the processing of the same and of the disability, as well as employed in the replacement, correction, restoration or modification of the anatomy or human physiological processes.
Medical devices are divided into one of three classes according to their level of risk. Article 83 of the Reglamento de Insumos para la Salud delineates the three classes as follows:
The descriptions of the three classes are ambiguous as the terms "known in medical practice" as well as "new" and "recently accepted" are contentious. Download our free process chart for a more detailed on the COFEPRIS regulatory process for each type of device.
The ministry's health products technical committee (Comité Técnico de Insumos para la Salud) has posted classification guidelines for medical devices based on the level of risk. The guidelines consist of 20 rules. Rules 1 through to 18 are similar to the European medical device classification criteria described in Annex IX of the Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC. For example, the classification guidelines and Annex IX both contain the following: rules 1-4 describe noninvasive devices, rules 5-8 describe invasive devices, rules 9-12 describe active devices and rules 13-18 are special rules. Rules 19 and 20 of the guidelines assign the classification for IVDs.
The COFEPRIS website provides additional documents to facilitate product classification. It provides a catalogue of 941 medical devices classified according to risk classification and category of use13, a list of medical devices that would be classified as Class I14 and a list of products that are not considered medical devices. As an example of an entry from the catalogue, an expandable cervical dilator is classified as Class II and assigned to the medical equipment category of use.
Manufacturers that still have questions on classification should submit their inquiries simultaneously to COFEPRIS and to their customs broker (agente aduanal).
The customs broker refers to its customs books to assign a code or classification and determines whether a permit or registration is required for importation. Medical device registrations must be renewed every five years as ascribed by registrations obtained in 2007. Further, after all the older registrations have been renewed by 24 February 2010 (Amendment January 2, 2008), these registrations will be valid for only five years.
The requirements for medical device registration submissions to COFEPRIS are described in Articles 179 and 180 of the Reglamento de Insumos para la Salud. The list below outlines the documentary information that must be included in a registration submission (Formato de Solicitudes):
Further, if the manufacture of the device does not take place in Mexico, Article 180 stipulates that the following additional information is required:
For manufacturers not established in Mexico, the form for making a regulatory submission (Formato de Solicitudes) is COFEPRIS-04-001-B. There is a general form that has to be completed and there are guides and instructions to facilitate its completion. There is also a detailed description of the information (Annexes) that must be submitted with the medical device submission.
The Secretariat of Commerce and Industrial Promotion (Secretaría de Comercio y Fomento Industrial, SECOFI) is responsible for the standards system in Mexico. The system includes mandatory and voluntary standards. Official standards (Norma Oficial Mexicana; NOM) are published in the country's official journal (Diario Oficial de la Federación). Salud issues the NOMs relevant to medical devices (format: NOM-XXX-SSA1-YYYY). Forty seven official Mexican standards are currently posted on the COFEPRIS website. That said, 37 medical device NOMs ‒ 36 of which are currently listed on the COFEPRIS Web site ‒ were recently cancelled. The voluntary standards are known as NMXs. In Mexico, anyone can propose that a standard be created, revised, amended or cancelled.
One NOM that has not been cancelled specifies labelling requirements for medical devices. NOM-137-SSA1-2008 became effective on 12 February 2009, making NOM-137-SSA1-1995 obsolete (although the COFEPRIS website still references the 1995 version). NOM-137-SSA1-2008 is partially compliant with the European Norm EN 980:2008 − entitled Graphical Symbols for use in the Labeling of Medical Devices − and it introduces symbols in normative appendices A and B. Appendices A and B describe 17 and 9 symbols respectively.
The 2008 version, in common with the 1995 version of the NOM, specifies the information that is expected to appear in medical device labels. The minimum labelling requirements can be found in section 4.1.1 through to 4.1.2 of the NOM. The information specified on the label must be in Spanish and must be legible and understandable. The generic and specific names of the device, country of origin, sanitary registration number, expiration date, serial or lot number and contents must be on the label. The 2008 NOM also specifies that, if a medical device is manufactured by a third party for the sanitary registration holder, the name of the third party must be included on the label.
Medical device registration documentation must be submitted by an entity established in Mexico and registered with COFEPRIS. Typically, manufacturers use their distributors in Mexico as their Mexican registration holder. Mexican registration holders must also possess warehouse facilities that are inspected by COFEPRIS. A Mexican registration holder owns the medical device registration.
Once the medical device registration has been reviewed and approved by COFEPRIS, the Mexican registration holder or the manufacturer issues letters appointing other distributors to the registration. The process of transferring a medical device registration in Mexico is simple and discussed in Article 190 of Reglamento de Insumos para la Salud. There is an accompanying guidance on the topic. Once approved, the procedure grants permission for other distributors to approach COFEPRIS for an import licence for those specific medical devices.
The medical device submission includes a document that lists all the products to be registered with COFEPRIS and the corresponding catalogue numbers. While this serves as a guide for customs officials when they are reviewing importations, it is also a requirement that medical device manufacturers in Mexico to delineate all the salient catalog numbers associated with a registration. It is therefore imperative that all the products the manufacturer would like to sell in Mexico are included and delineated correctly in the listing provided. All additions or changes to the names or catalogue numbers require notification to COFEPRIS.
The customs officials also check the manufacturer's address; changes of address must be submitted to COFEPRIS. It is crucial in Mexico that foreign manufacturers possess authorisation to market the medical device in their country of origin. While there is no definition of manufacturer in any of the legal texts, manufacturer is described in NOM-137-SSA1-2008 as the owner of the medical device who is legally responsible for the manufacture of the device in Mexico or abroad. The information about the manufacturer should be explicit and should not be confused with a third party or assembler.
Articles 179 and 180 of Reglamento de Insumos para la Salud stipulate deadlines for COFEPRIS's review of the Formato de Solicitudes for imported devices (COFEPRIS-04-001-B). Under the requirements, Class I devices are to be reviewed within 30 days, Class II devices within 35 days and Class III devices within 60 days. Recent changes – for additional details, see below under "Amendments" – mean Class II and III devices will be considered rejected if COFEPRIS does NOT respond to the company at all within the specified timeframes.
Vigilance is mentioned in Reglamento de Insumos para la Salud in Articles 38 and 39. Adverse events that occur during the commercialisation of a medical device must be notified to Salud; these include adverse events that have occurred worldwide.
From time to time, amendments to the regulatory documents are published. The amendment requiring that all existing medical device registrations be renewed every five years and by 24 February 2010 is an example. (Beginning in 2007, all registrations were approved with a five year limit.) One of the most recent amendments was published on 19 June 2009.
This amendment was published partially in response to the country's National Development Plan 2007-2012 (Plan Nacional de Desarrollo 2007-2012), which has as an objective the improvement of the living conditions of Mexicans by making the economy more competitive, generating jobs and facilitating business development.
As part of this mandate, it was necessary for Salud to update the different formats, guides, instructions and required information that in future are to be submitted as annexes. Annex I of the amendment establishes those activities that require notice of operation (Aviso de Funcionamiento) or sanitary licence. Annexes II and III, while only initially referenced in the articles of the amendment, provide the formats, guidance documents and procedures for submitting a Formato de Solicitudes.
As stated above under "Approval timelines", the amendment covers deadlines relating to COFEPRIS's review of submissions for the registration of imported medical devices. The changes in the review times and in the acceptance or rejection of a submission are presented in tabular format, with a column for affirmative or negative. The new requirements are as follows:
Other amendments that affect the review time and the acceptance or rejection of administrative and technical modifications are as follows:
In both of the above circumstances, if there is no response from COFEPRIS within 22 working days, the request is considered approved.

On the heels of Connie Mack IV's announcement that he'll run for his father's old U.S. Senate seat, another politician has announced a run for Mack's current job.
Lee County Commissioner Tammy Hall tells NBC2 she'll run for Congress now that Mack is focused on current U.S. Senator Bill Nelson.
"I will become an official candidate in District 14," said Hall.
Hall will not have to give up her commission seat to run, since she's in the middle of her current term.
"I believe my local government experience and understanding, and being in this community for more than 30 years is representative of what Southwest Florida needs and is looking for," said Hall.
Hall, a republican, has served as Lee County Commissioner since 2004.
Three people are already seeking Mack's District 14 seat, including Republicans Joseph Asher Davidow and Timothy John Rossano, and Democrat James Lloyd Roach.
Roach says Mack's move towards the Senate is a way to level the playing field.
"It makes something that Southwest Florida can look at the candidates and finally see where they stand on the issues," said Roach.
Chauncey Goss, the son of former congressman and CIA director Porter Goss, is also seriously considering a run for the District 14 seat – the same seat the elder Goss held.
Chauncey Goss says he needs a few more weeks to decide.
"The reason I'd run is I don't like the direction the country is in right now and nothing has changed there. The country is on path that's unsustainable when it comes to fiscal policy," said Goss.
In February, Mack announced he would not run for U.S. Senate and instead run for re-election to the House.
Since then, the candidate he endorsed - Senate President Mike Haridopolos - dropped out and no one has emerged as a clear favorite in the Republican field.
Also hoping to challenge Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson are former state Rep. Adam Hasner, retired Army Col. Mike McCalister, former steakhouse chain CEO Craig Miller and former Sen. George LeMieux, who served the last 16 months of Sen. Mel Martinez' term.
