BF4 China Rising Dragon Pass Map Overwiew New Bomber
What do you think about this video?
MattTheMusketeer: Breaking NDA.
Plastic Planet Productions: Now I wish I owned BF4. This looks like it should be a fun map!
oAngrybird: NICE
formerdave94: Is it just me, or is the visuals in this map horrible?
DerHirni: How the hell do you switch weapons in the bomber?
Vitor Barbosa: Come on Youtuuuuube! Hurry up processing this!!! :) Thanks for posting footage of the new stuff shosho!
Komunist Izet: Damn, it looks good :D
andykiller90: WOW Nice video! ;)
Arno Deinum: looks like farcry 3
AssualtTrifle: Seems cool but quite empty.
schootsta: Looks very nice :)....playing dino mode on it would be awesome ;D
Exhicand: The shading looks ugly - definitly worse than in BF3
Patrik Krekula: That bomber is cool :-D
Wicked Gameess: 144p :c , ill wait for 720p , really want to see the preview/overwiew on this map <3
Siard Houtstra: I hasve to say, I played all maps, and they are all but Gilian Peaks,snipers heaven. Gilian Peaks makes it a bit harder, but with a good spot you can camp there all day long too. And no, I'm absolutely not a good sniper, nor a camper!
AirShark95: Is it just me, or would hardcore mode be even more intense without a GUI?
Christian Holzer: So it is "on rails". Well, what else did we expect! :-/
SgtTrollz: Downloading now, eeeeeepic!
FollowMeInfantry: It looks brownish as freak but still beautiful :)
Jsteri: How to shoot those cruise missiles in that bomber?
Brandon S: How do you get the cruise missile in the bomber? I just get the j-dam bombs
Brandon Carroll: Shosho...you the best man!!!
Trezzy MC: Can't wait to be running to an objective and just see the entire area get decimated by a cruise missile from the bomber.
doorwayman: Don't get me wrong it's cool, but the Bomber was underwhelming. I was expecting carpet bombing runs or something.
Sinkento: Just wondering is there any Quad bikes (ATVs) for this map? I always wanted to do a race between a Quad and Dirt bike.
Gerhardt Meyer: If it's Sniper's Heaven,it's Knifer's Paradise
DaSheCrays: 2 map packs in one month or what ?
Russell Lee: No levolution in new maps?
Leif Eriksen: 1) I see a B-1 Lancer bomber not the B-52 that I believe appeared as a shadow in the trailer which is both good and bad though it may be on other maps. 2) DICE seems to have done a good job balancing it though people may hate those cruise missiles. and 3) BF 1943 had something almost identical only difference being that it dropped about 10-20 bombs over an area instead of 8 JDAM's and 2 cruise missiles although if they put any kind of bomb run like that in this game people wouldn't be happy till the bomber carried a realistic bomb load (or screamed nerf till it did nothing) which would have leveled the map so smart move on their part with what they did.
summersolstice69: wow - that's beautiful
bendimate: wow just like in 1943
Ryan Pugh: What time does it come out in the UK ?
JasonSPD: It looks amazing. A bit like Bad Company 2 and Arma
Fischy: another op air vehicle .??? seriously? it's not like the jets aren't op enough...
Darcy C: Looks good, reminds me of BC2 Vietnam maps.
RazorBlade: hmm is this console footage?
Isak Johansson: i can't play china rising, i have redeemed my code but when i try to join a game it says that i have to get premium (xbox 360) :((
Malacovics: For freaks sake. I pre-ordered it yet I have to wait until 17th of December because of EA's freakery with premium. Money whoring picklewads.
mats lange gyberg: ?
Peter van Bruin: each JDAM should have the impact the cruise missile has, an dthe cruise missile should have a impact twice as big. Especially the jdams look really pathetic compared to pictures google is showing me.
Fallen: JDAMS are so freaking disappointing. The M27 frag has a bigger explosion than it.
ScoobyLube: dude, this is not 1080p
Miguel Merello: Levolution??
Dillios the Spartan: Reminds me of one of the BFBC2 Vietnam maps.
PissBucket Royale: What are are the stage fatalities?

ISO celtuce AKA asparagus lettuce or wosun
- h
- hyperbowler Aug 30, 2013 11:18 AM
Anyone spotted it recently, either in a market or restaurant? I've only noticed it in a produce market on Stockton in Chinatown, and their selection wasn't healthy looking. I haven't had luck in some of the bigger Asian supermarkets in SF.
Here's an external article with background: http://www.epicurious.com/articlesgui...
re: bigwheel042
Thanks! Before I realized it was something I'd eaten before outside the Bay Area, I had noticed it at a few more places. I hope the local season hasn't ended-- it's great stuff!
I saw it a few weeks ago in one of the smaller produce shops on Irving. Maybe around 22nd or 23rd Avenue.
I have not seen it recently at the farmers markets recently, though I haven't been paying super close attention.
Several months ago, maybe last year, we had it at South Legend Sichuan in Milpitas... Quite tasty.
I saw it today at one of the spill into the sidewalk produce markets in Oakland Chinatown. On 8th St. btw Harrison and Webster, south side of the street. $1.29/lb I've never used it before, so I don't know exactly how to assess quality. It looked a tad droopy, but the topknot of leaves was green if a bit wilty. The cut base was maybe 2" in diameter and looked freshly cut, neither dry nor crusty. Had I not been on the way to work, I'd have bought some to try cooking at home. What's the consensus, raw or cooked?
re: calny
Yay! Their appearance is good news and I'm glad you asked about how to gauge quality. I've started a thread on the Home Cooking board so that we may get more responses about choosing celtuse and how to prepare it: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/969170
Despite tons of high quality Asian greens, celtuce was not available at the Alemany Farmer's Market in SF this weekend. SF finds are desired.
re: hyperbowler
It's been at several places in Oakland Chinatown. The best I've seen/bought have been at Yet Sun Market. On weekends, they've been fat and even, and with fresh leaves at the end of the stalk.
Yet Sun Market
397 8th St
Oakland, CA 94607
b/t Franklin St & Webster St in Oakland Chinatown
The celtuse I've seen at big supermarkets (Lion in Newark and Marina Market in San Mateo) have been lousy.
re: hyperbowler
I bought some at Sunset Super the other day in SF. Not too thick, but firm and fresh. I think it was $1.20 per lb
Spotted this morning, fresh as can be for 99¢ per pound in SF Chinatown at New Louie's, 1213 Stockton St.

Today I have an A*M*A*Z*I*N*G shop to introduce you to!
Shop owner Amy creates gorgeous embellished clothing for Women, men and children!
I happen to be obsessed with her "Brilla" Hoodies and ruffle Cardigans. So far I own three.
Take a peek at how adorable her garments are........
"My name is Amy and I am a 34-year-old 4th grade public school teacher morphed into a stay at home mom to two beautiful babies, Jacob and Evelyn. I am married to the most amazing man in the world, Brandon, who is a full time Youth Pastor and youth motivational speaker.
How Evy's Tree came into my life is completely by accident; definitely what I would consider a God thing. When I decided to stay home with my first baby, Jacob, money was VERY tight. In October of 2009, I was inspired by many wonderful and creative stay at home moms who could whip up these beautiful items for their family with practically no money. I felt like I couldn't even take my kids hems up if I needed too, and that made me feel very inadequate as a mom, for some strange reason! It seemed like everyone I knew could sew. So I borrowed my mom's sewing machine and attempted to learn. In fact, I did a big post on my family blog regarding my feelings about being crafty right after I brought the machine home. The post is a bit of a joke now as I complained how I wasn't creative, and yet here I am- creating for a living! You can read about that here:
Anyway, I started sewing a little for myself and then I took on the task, with some help from some do it yourself blogs, of embellishing some hoodies from my closet for a trip to Disneyworld that my family was taking in December. I made three hoodies, The Love, The Hoot and The Rainbow {which are all semi- retired hoodies that now appear only occasionally}. I got gobs and gobs of compliments while in Florida, and my nieces begged me to make them some for Christmas. When I returned home I made them all The Hoot. My sister in law, whose nickname is Brilla, asked me to embellish her favorite hoodie for her and give it to her for Christmas. I made her the original Brilla, which is now my staple style. I took pictures of all the hoodies and put them on my blog after Christmas. Almost immediately I started receiving emails from people asking if they could purchase one. A couple of weeks later I put up a paypal link on my blog and sold 15 in 30 minutes. And my business was born…
I hope you enjoy my items in my shop! Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me and I look forward to seeing you wearing Evy's Tree in the future!"
I just love EVY'S TREE and am so glad I had an opportunity to share Amy's gorgeous shop with you all! Plus be on the look out because sometime in the coming weeks Amy is going to sponsor a giveaway right here on bouffe e bambini!!!! *SQUEEL*
Amy also has two blogs and a facebook page so if you like what you see and want to keep up with her and EVY'S TREE you can check out her shop blog {HERE} and her family blog {HERE}.
Her facebook page can be found {HERE}. I highly recommend becoming a fan on facebook because she offers giveaways quiet often:)
I hope you have enjoyed meeting Amy and EVY'S TREE! Hop on over there and do some shopping!! You won't be disappointed!

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - The lawyer for a Broward County teen accused of severely beating a 15-year-old says his client is remorseful.
Russell Williams said Tuesday after a court hearing that the 15-year-old suspect was "extremely concerned" about the girl's condition and was "devastated" over the March 17th assault at Deerfield Beach Middle School. Josie Lou Ratley remains in a medically induced coma.
Her attorney says he appreciates the words of goodwill from the suspect, though they might be difficult for Ratley's family to accept. Authorities say the suspect punched and stomped on Ratley with steel-toed boots. He's being held at a juvenile detention center on a charge of premeditated attempted murder.
Williams also withdrew a motion Tuesday asking for a gag order in the case.

I'm currently in the process of getting a new brand strategy/advertising agency up and running with @t_wise. We are two young-ish female entrepreneurs and have also been described as spit fires! We founded treetree authentic brand communications to help brands be more authentic in the marketplace. Authenticity is absolutely magnetic, whether you're dealing with people or companies. Finding those little pieces of insight that people can connect to and discovering why the mavens love the brand so much and how we can connect with others is at the heart of what we do. I live in a loft in downtown Columbus, which is now our "loffice." Ten random things about me: 1. When I'm trying to figure out a tough problem at work, I go for a drive. If it's summer I have the top down. And I'm a lead foot as well. 2. I love wearing high heels but currently have a fractured foot because of them. 3. I try the Sunday crossword almost every week. 4. I was a figure skater in high school. Spandex and all! I have some medals to prove it! 5. My favorite flavor at Jeni's is Salty Caramel. 6. I can't read anything without proofreading. I think this is because of my job and degree in journalism. As a result, I text in full sentences with proper grammar! 7. I was engaged once and called it off. I now wear a diamond and aquamarine ring on my right hand to remind me of my promise to never settle. 8. I have a baby grand piano stored in my spare walk-in. 9. I am the daughter of two horticulturists and can't keep plants alive. 10. I could live on pizza. For. My. Whole. Life.

November 27, 2014
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- The state Assembly is preparing for what's shaping up to be the last legislative debate on Republicans' polarizing mining legislation.
The Assembly's Republican leaders have scheduled debate to begin at 9 a.m. Thursday, a rare start time for the chamber. Republicans anticipate minority Democrats will try to delay the final vote and hope the early start will help them avoid an all-night session.
The bill would loosen the state's mining regulations to help Gogebic Taconite dig a huge open-pit iron mine just south of Lake Superior.
Republican supporters insist the mine will create thousands of jobs.
Opponents counter the bill would open the door to devastating pollution.
Assembly approval would send the bill to Gov. Scott Walker for his signature, the last step before it would become law.

Anthony Joshua MBE says sparring with Heavyweight king Wladimir Klitschko has him fired up for his clash with Konstantin Airich at the Phones 4u Arena in Manchester on Saturday, live on Sky Sports.
The London 2012 Olympic star spent ten days with the IBF, WBA, WBO, IBO and The Ring title holder and 1996 Olympic champion in Austria ahead of Klitschko's now-rearranged title defence against Kubrat Pulev.
Joshua has yet to go beyond two rounds in the paid ranks but German-based Kazakh Airich brings a wealth of experience to Lancashire this weekend with 17 KO wins and 153 rounds in the bank – so Joshua expects his time with Klitschko to be invaluable.

I have rave revues for the work of Assemblyman Charles Lavine. In all my dealings with him I have found him to be an honest, forthright and perceptive strategist and advocate for his constituency. There are too many examples to report in a short letter. I will provide one recent example of his outstanding work. I went to the Albany Legislature, along with other library supporters, to speak up for our beloved Sea Cliff Library and other local libraries.
Anna is 81 years old and lives alone since the death of her husband nine years ago. Her eyesight is failing from macular degeneration. Each weekday, Anna is brought to the Glen Cove Senior Center to enjoy a nutritious meal, stimulating activity and the company of friends. She would otherwise be housebound.
Thank you for putting an article in the Record Pilot highlighting the plight of Forest Bookstore. I have been a patron of the bookstore since long before Tracy Aledort took ownership. A constant desire to read and the occasional need for reference books (SAT prep, foreign language dictionaries etc.), plus the very close proximity to home makes it really easy to forego the trip to Manhasset, Westbury or Garden City to pick up a book.
This Saturday, July 24, our family will mark the fifth anniversary of our son's untimely death. Many things have been done in his memory including the annual Andreas Christopoulos 5K Run/Walk, the proceeds of which benefit scholarships to graduating Glen Cove High School seniors. My family and I would like to thank the following sponsors who made it possible for us to award two scholarships and to sustain the scholarship fund: Anton Community Newspapers; "A Bronx Friend;" Assemblyman Charles Lavine; D&L Painting; the Chris Spyropoulos Family; Annette Cirillo-Bergen; Glen Cove City Democratic Committee; Glen Cove PBA; Glen Optic; Gotham T-Shirts; Losee Signs; the Manzione Family; North Shore Farms; the Bocchino Family; Flora Petakas Marinelli; St. Catherine's Philoptochos Society; Basile Electric; the Bosworth Family; Charles of Glen Cove; Downtown Cafe; the Hatala Family; the McCarthy Family; Henry's Confectionary; Locust Valley Bagel; Page One Restaurant; the Poloway Family; Rita's of Glen Cove Italian Ices; and Sophia Niarchos. We would be remiss if we didn't thank all the volunteers and participants from our extended family including: Glen Cove Police Chief William Whitton; Judge Richard J. McCord; my 'sisters' in Glen Cove City Hall; Legislator Diane Yatauro and my colleagues in her office; Glen Cove City Councilman Tony Jimenez; the Glen Cove School District administrators and teaching staff; members of the Glen Cove High School Class of 2001, members of the Glen Cove High School Class of 2009; and our family at the Greek Orthodox Church of the Resurrection which includes our Greek Orthodox Youth Group; our St. Catherine's Philoptochos philanthropic organization and our Young Adult League (YAL). We appreciate being granted permission by Glen Cove Mayor Suozzi and the City Council to hold the run and we acknowledge the patience of our neighbors during the closing of the streets along the course of the run.
Mayor Suozzi, Francine Ferrante, Maureen Bastlavas, and all the members of the Chamber of Commerce, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful awards you gave to Luca and Max Marra in honor of their father, Mario.
Ten years ago, my husband Mario and I walked into the Old School Street deli and he looked at me and said, "You see this place? I am going to turn this place into my dream restaurant and I am going to have people eating dinner outside like they do in Italy."
It was interesting to read Mr. Meli's letter concerning the term limits issue before the Glen Cove City Council. All I can say is, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
This issue has been on and off the agenda for years; it certainly didn't resurrect itself out of nowhere! During my tenure as president of the Chamber of Commerce early in this decade, we had contacted and discussed with the heads of both political parties the idea of increasing the mayoral term. We went to great lengths to try to introduce it at a time when it would not apply to the mayor then in office. We believed that it was in the best interests of the businesses of this city to do so as it was our view that two years was too short a time for businesses to plan ahead. The possibility of a new administration with new or different ideas could change or affect any decisions they would make. In addition, we believed it took approximately one year for a mayor to get up to speed on the job, and then the following year to run again for office; not too efficient or productive for governing the city.
Recent coverage of the ceremonies surrounding the breaking of ground on both Glen Cove's $16 million ferry terminal and on the quarter mile "Esplanade Phase 2", should cause us to recall the failure of past projects, and question whether we are proceeding with appropriate, or promised, caution during these difficult economic times.
Indeed, a recent trip to Esplanade Phase 1, at the end of Garvies Point Road, revealed that a once similarly celebrated, multi-million dollar project is now a virtually abandoned, decaying and overgrown walkway, its fences collapsing, its wiring exposed, and its light posts broken and dark.
On Saturday evening, June 12, there was joy in the air at the Glen Cove Senior Center when the Glen Cove High School and Student Senate Clubs hosted their 25th Annual Intergenerational Ball for the senior citizens.
DECA Advisor Deborah Pearsall and Student Senate Advisor Ellen Lynch organized the Ball with the students and the delightful evening included the Glen Cove High School Jazz Ensemble playing a medley of familiar pieces for everyone's enjoyment….they are an extremely talented group of young people.
We must bring the Feast of St. Rocco's back to Glen Cove. The feast has been a much-respected part of our community's life. For me, the feast has been part of my life, and my family's life from the day in 1974 when Father Della Rosa came to me and many other parishioners asking if we could restart the original feast of St. Rocco. Well, he was a man of vision as can be attested by the 35 years of honoring St. Rocco, our patron saint.

What You Will Learn
Are you planning for the succession of the family business by using the latest techniques to preserve the value of the business and reduce estate taxes?
This annual advanced course of study, comprising 22 hours of instruction, provides a comprehensive overview of estate planning techniques for the family business owner. The course covers the life cycle of the closely held business, from choice of entity to estate administration, including the dynamics of dealing with the family, valuations, and getting the business ready to sell, with primary attention to tax and estate planning issues, but keeping in mind that there are significant non-tax questions that also require attention.
The course is intended for lawyers, accountants, and others who advise privately-owned business owners, as well as for the owners and financial officers of such businesses themselves. Specially featured in this course are optional breakfast workshops on Thursday and Friday. These well-received sessions allow registrants to discuss topics of concern with the faculty in informal small group settings.

Butler topples Purdue 67-65 in Close the Gap Crossroads Classic
INDIANAPOLIS — Little is the same this year about Butler, with the notable exception Saturday of the delirious postgame scrum.
The young and retooled and struggling Bulldogs again did some unlikely court-storming, 67-65 winners over Purdue on a nationally televised last-second tip-in followed by a familiar burst of emotion.
''We're doing police escorts every game, we're doing CBS every game,'' Butler coach Brad Stevens said.
The Bulldogs (5-6) overcame an 11-point halftime deficit — not to mention a nine-point deficit with less than nine minutes to play — to end a three-game losing streak in roof-rattling fashion to open the Crossroads Classic at Conseco Fieldhouse.
Butler notched its first lead on a Chase Stigall floater with 16 seconds left, then saw Purdue's Lewis Jackson hit a free throw with 10 seconds left for a 65-65 tie. Butler's Roosevelt Jones then drove after a handoff from center Andrew Smith — who then followed down the lane to clean up Jones' miss for the winning tip-in with one second left.
"We're obviously very excited about this game,'' said Smith, who tied for the team lead with 12 points. ''We've been struggling against teams from Indiana and that's personal for us. It was important for us to come out here and play well.''
It took a while. Purdue (9-3) shot 55.6 percent in the first half, building as much as a 15-point lead. Then the Boilermakers shot just 20.7 percent (6 of 29) after halftime, tallying just one point in the final 6 minutes 40 seconds.
Purdue's Jackson, Robbie Hummel and Ryne Smith combined for 36 first-half points — and just seven after intermission.
''I thought we were the better team,'' Boilermakers coach Matt Painter said. ''But it's a 40-minute game. And we're not finishing games. That's what Butler did.''
As for a season re-defining victory for a program that reached the last two NCCA tournament finals? Not yet.
''We won a game, our record is not that much better,'' Stevens said. ''What it does do, it gets all our young guys to believe a little bit."Copyright © 2014, Chicago Tribune

Former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Director Rajat Gupta, convicted of insider trading in a scheme masterminded by hedge fund billionaire Raj Rajaratnam, joined his co-conspirator in a Massachusetts federal prison to begin serving a two-year sentence.
Galleon Group LLC co-founder Raj Rajaratnam, for his trial last year on insider-trading charges, selected as his lawyer a combative ex-Marine who cursed at a cameraman after court one day.
Rajat Gupta , the former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. director accused of passing tips to Galleon Group LLC co-founder Raj Rajaratnam, will remain silent as his insider-trading trial enters its final week, his lawyer told the judge.
Rajat Gupta, the former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. director, will probably testify next week at his insider-trading trial, his lawyer told the judge after the prosecution rested and the defense began presenting its case.
Rajat Gupta "abused" his role as a director at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Procter & Gamble Co. by leaking secret tips to an associate, a prosecutor told the jury during closing arguments in Gupta's insider-trading trial.
Rajat Gupta, the ex-Goldman Sachs Group Inc. director accused of giving inside information to fund manager Raj Rajaratnam about that company and Procter & Gamble Co., may face additional allegations he passed tips, prosecutors said.
Rajat Gupta, who was a director at Goldman Sachs Group Inc., "threw away his duties" to the company when he tipped hedge-fund co-founder Raj Rajaratnam to news that the bank would get a $5 billion investment, a prosecutor told jurors.
Rajat Gupta, the former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. director convicted in a 2012 insider trading scheme tied to the Galleon Group LLC hedge fund, agreed to surrender to prison authorities on June 17 to begin a two-year sentence, a federal judge in Manhattan said.
The Jed-and-Gary show went on the road yesterday.
As a lawyer, Jed Rakoff once persuaded a judge to give probation to a client convicted at an insider-trading trial alongside former Wall Street Journal reporter R. Foster Winans. Now a federal judge himself, Rakoff must weigh Rajat Gupta's similar request to stay out of prison.
"The fall from grace that Mr. Gupta has suffered or experienced as a result of this matter is as steep as I have ever seen anyone in any case that I have ever seen."

Return Receipt Requested
Inspection ID: 1461340008
John P. Anderson, M.D.
Medical Director
West Anaheim Medical Center
3033 West Orange Avenue
Anaheim, CA 90602-3156
Dear Dr. Anderson:
On September 10, 2002, a representative of the State of California, acting on behalf of the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") inspected your facility. This inspection revealed serious problems involving the conduct of mammography at your facility. Under the Mammography Quality Standards Act of 1992 ("MQSA"), which is codified in Section 263b of Title 42 of the United States Code, your facility must meet specific requirements to practice mammography. These requirements help to protect the health of women by assuring that a facility can perform quality mammography.
The inspection revealed violations of the MQSA at your facility. These violations were noted on the MQSA Facility Inspection Report ("Important Information about your Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) Inspection that the inspector left at your facility at the close of the inspection on September 10% The report revealed two REPEAT Level 2 findings and one new Level 2 finding at your facility:
Level 2 - Failed to produce documents verifying that the radiologic technologist [redacted] met the continuing experience requirement of having performed 200 mammography examinations in 24 months. This is a REPEAT violation under Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 900.12(a)(2)(iv)(A).
Level 2 - Failed to produce documents verifying that the radiologic technologist [redacted] met the continuing experience requirement of having performed 200 mammography examinations in 24 months, This is a REPEAT violation under Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 900.12(a)(2)(iv)(A).
Level 2 - The facility has not specified adequate written procedures for collecting and resolving consumer complaints. Specifically, the letter to inform the patients/complainants where to address unresolved consumer complaints indicates, incorrectly, the American College of Radiology as your accrediting body. Your mammography facility?s accrediting body is the State of California. This is a violation of Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Sections 900.12(h)(1 ) through (4).
This inspection was a follow up to an earlier inspection on July 19, 2001. The follow up inspection indicated that problems that the inspector identified during the initial inspection were not adequately addressed and that additional problems were identified.
Because these violations may be symptomatic of serious underlying problems that could compromise the quality of mammography at your facility, FDA may take additional actions, including, but not limited to, the following:
- requiring your facility to undergo an Additional Mammography Review
- placing your facility under a Directed Plan of Correction
- charging your facility for the cost of on-site monitoring
- seeking civil money penalties of up to $10,000 for each failure to substantially comply with, or each day of failure to substantially comply with, MQSA standards
- seeking to suspend or revoke your facility?s FDA certificate
- seeking a court injunction against your facility.
See Title 42, United States Code, Sections 263b(h)-(j) and Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 900.12(j).
You should respond in writing to FDA within fifteen (15) working days from the date you received this letter. Your response should include:
1. the specific steps you have taken, or will take, to correct all of the violations noted in this letter, including projected timeframes for implementing those steps;
2. the specific steps you have taken, or will take, to prevent the recurrence of similar violations, including projected timeframes for implementation of those steps;
3. please provide sample records that demonstrate proper record keeping procedures.
Note: patient names, and other information that would likely reveal the patient?s identity should be deleted from any copies of records you submit.
We are concerned about the repeat violations. Your response should specifically address the repeat violations and explain why they were not corrected before the September 10, 2002, inspection. Please also identify who, by name an authority for implementing the corrections. [redacted] from your facility, wrote us a letter on July 24, 2001 (pertaining to the year 2001 inspection) stating in part, "Immediately following the inspection, we documented each mammographer?s experience. ***A log has been created and a section has been added to our QC Journal to keep future totals current." Please specifically explain why this "log" was not current and what revisions, if any, have been or will be implemented to prevent recurrence of these repeat violations. Please provide copies of the revised quality assurance and/or quality control procedures detailing how this log should be maintained and by whom. Finally, if the two mammography radiologic technologists have not been requalified under Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 900.12(a)(2)(iv)(B), please advise whether these two individuals are still performing mammography examinations at your facility.
Please submit your response to:Thomas L. Sawyer
Director, Compliance Branch
U.S. Food & Drug Administration
19900 MacArthur Blvd.; Suite #300
Irvine, CA 926 12-2445
Phone: (949) 798-7600
You should understand that there are many FDA requirements pertaining to mammography. This letter pertains only to findings of your inspection and does not necessarily address other obligations you have under the law. You may obtain general information about all of FDA?s requirements for mammography facilities by contacting the Mammography Quality Assurance Program, Food and Drug Administration, P.O. Box 6057, Columbia, MD 21045-6057 (telephone number: 1-800-838-7715) or through the Internet at http://www.fda.gov
If you have more specific questions about mammography facility requirements or about this letter, feel free to contact Scott Goff (the Compliance Officer assigned to this case) at telephone number 949-798-7644.

Aging baby boomers becoming roommate generation
NEW YORK – June 10, 2014 – Experts says it will soon be more common for older Baby Boomers to have roommates as they increasingly age in place.
Rachel Caraviello, vice president of Affordable Living for the Aging (ALA), says such arrangements are part of the "sharing economy" and typically pairs one house-rich but cash-poor roommate with another who has the opposite problem.
According to the ALA, cohabiters aged 50 or older with no familial or romantic relationship make up some 130,000 households across the country.
Some of these arrangements may involve one roommate helping the other with shopping, transportation, and cooking or serving as an informal caregiver, says Rodney Harris, a housing specialist at AARP's Public Policy Institute.

Canberra is hosting several exciting events to help celebrate World Environment Day on 5 June. A particular focus will be on raising much-needed funds and to become more informed about the dire situation bears and orangutans are facing. Saving bears and orangutans is reaching crisis point – orangutans could be extinct in the wild in the next ten years!
Orangutans won't have a forest home left due to rapidly expanding palm oil plantations and habitat loss in Borneo and Sumatra.
In Asia, bears are increasingly threatened by the activities of humans; trapped in crude wire snares, butchered for their body parts or caged for the extraction of their bile, they are one of the most highly sought-after species in an illegal trade that is decimating the region's wildlife.
Two international conservationists are leading the way. The President of Wildlife Asia and The Orangutan Project, Leif Cocks, and the CEO of Free the Bears, Matt Hunt, will be in Canberra conducting unique and exclusive events between 4 and 7 June. This includes:
Details and tickets from www.orangutan.org.au/upcoming-events

lakshmi Gopal Started The Discussion:
hi, Can LTA be added in the monthly salary and bills can be submitted once in a year? I would like to know how the other companies are handling LTA? Pl advise Thanks Lakshmi
manasvi - Member Since: Mar 2008
Yes, very much it can be given on monthly basis to the employees. This is one of the tool that many Comapny's are using to give the benefit to employee in terms of more monthly gross salary. LTA is a salary component, which is non taxable. Employee needs to show the supporting documents to get the benefit of it. If end of the year hs is not able to produce the document the LTA amount will be taxable for him and tax will be deducted for entire year. It goes with 3 year basis. Now running slab is 2006-2009.
I hope this will help.
lakshmi Gopal - Member Since: Sep 2007
Hi Mansavi,
Thanks for your reply. However my finance department is very particular that LTA should be paid annnual only since per Income Tax Act, LTA is paid on an annual basis. It cannot be paid monthly, since it is meant for meeting the travel expenses twice in a block of 4 years. In our opinion it cannot be paid monthly. The income tax can take the view that the same is taxable if they come to know the basis of payment.
Can you comment on this?
htdesai - Member Since: Nov 2007
Hi Laxmi,
Yes LTA should be paid only once in a year, In our company we show LTA in addition as well as deduction column in the monthly payslip. So at the end of the year people can claim LTA by filling up the LTA claim form, if they submit proper documents , it will be tax free, and if they wish to claim without any supporting then it becomes taxable. Also while paying we take care the LTA block and accordingly the LTA is paid.
p_kamini123 - Member Since: Dec 2007
Hi lakshmi LTA can be claimed only once in a year. Amount for LTA cannot be shown on monthly basis. It is tax exempted for every two years. Regards kamini
Rajeev Verma - Member Since: Apr 2008
Hi Laxmi,
LTA component is that part of the salary which is included in the CTC but paid on the Yearly basis. As LTA is governed by the INCOME TAX Rules. Under the INCOME TAX Rules an employee can claim the LTA twice in a block of 4 Year. In our company it is paid as per the ICOME TAX Rules means if any employee claims the LTA on yearly basis every year than his TWO LTA claims bound to be Income Taxed and he/she can get the Tax exemption in TWO.
I hope this will clear your doubts.
raajz_johnny - Member Since: Dec 2006
Dear Mansavi Greetings! We can't include LTA as a monthly component. Its a yearly component.

Hi, Why LTA cannot be a monthly component. It is the entitlement of an employee whether it is paid annual or monthly. If it is re-imbursed then it is not taxable, if paid monthly then it is taxable. Can anyone question why it is paid monthly, it is at the discretion of employee.Regards,Elancheran

Can we claim Medical Allowances for Entire year in September by providing supporting documents.
Can I ask My HR department to re-imburse the same on monthly basis and at the end of the year I will provide necessary documents.

In our company we are paying monthly and also yearly basis to employees as per they requested. If we paid monthly basis we are deducting the tax. Can we give any tax exemption to them? or Is it coming under FBT?
