Ferumoxytol Treatment Produced Significant Hemoglobin Increases In Adult Iron Deficiency Anemia Patients With Gastrointestinal Disease Who Had Failed Or Could Not Tolerate Oral Iron Therapy
LEXINGTON, Mass., May 21, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq:AMAG) announced that a new sub-group analysis from IDA-301, a phase III, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial, will be presented today at a poster session of the Digestive Disease Week 2013 (DDW) meeting in Orlando, Florida. In the full IDA-301 study, 608 adult patients with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) who had failed or could not tolerate oral iron were treated with ferumoxytol and 200 received placebo. The sub-group analysis being presented today at DDW is based on 231 patients in IDA-301 with gastrointestinal (GI) disease. Of these patients, 173 were randomized to the ferumoxytol treatment arm and 58 to the placebo arm.
IDA-301 was a multicenter trial designed to compare the safety and efficacy of a one gram course of ferumoxytol versus placebo in adult patients with IDA who had failed or could not tolerate oral iron treatment, regardless of the underlying cause. Ferumoxytol is an IV iron treatment currently approved in the United States for the treatment of IDA in adult chronic kidney disease patients. IDA-301 was one of two studies that formed the foundation for AMAG's supplemental new drug application (sNDA) in the United States, which was filed in December 2012. AMAG's sNDA seeks to expand the use of Feraheme® (ferumoxytol) for adult IDA patients who have failed or could not tolerate oral iron, including those patients with GI disease.
The primary efficacy endpoint of this study for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is the proportion of subjects who achieved a > 2.0 g/dL increase in hemoglobin at any time from baseline to week 5; the primary efficacy endpoint for European Union (EU) regulators is the mean change in hemoglobin from baseline to week 5. In the GI sub-group analysis, 82.1% of ferumoxytol-treated patients achieved an increase of > 2.0 g/dL in hemoglobin compared to 1.7% of patients who received placebo at week 5, meeting the protocol defined measure of superiority (p<0.0001). The mean change in hemoglobin in ferumoxytol-treated GI patients from baseline to week 5 was 2.8 g/dL, compared to no increase (-0.1 g/dL) in GI patients receiving placebo (p<0.0001). These results paralleled those in the total study population.As a pre-defined secondary endpoint in the IDA-301 study, patients were asked to report on measures of fatigue using the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) instrument. Patients in the GI sub-group treated with ferumoxytol demonstrated an 11.6 point improvement in self-reported fatigue compared to a 7.9 point improvement in those who received placebo (p=0.0335).

Coach Cornwell has messed the effiecincy and productivity of his traditional Wing-T attack with contemporary spread formations resulting in a potent set of plays.
By Paul Cornwell
Head Coach
Ayden-Grifton High School (NC)
Insiders Members: Click here to login to the Insiders and read the full-length version of this report including game film.
Editor's Note: Coach Cornwell is entering his 9th year as a head coach. His record during that time is 80-29 with his teams winning 5 conference championships. His 2011 squad finished the year as Regional Champions and State Runner-up. Coach Cornwell has been named regional Coach of the Year three times ('08, '10, and '11) and state Coach of the Year runner-up in 2011.
Ayden-Grifton High School is a small rural school in eastern North Carolina and we have been running the wing-T for about 20 years. We have ran primarily with 2 wings and a fullback with a TE and one SE. We have had our share of success over the years just running the base plays from under center and occasionally running a few plays from the gun just to make people spend a day preparing for it. 3 years ago I knew that I had a young QB that was a very good runner so I wanted to find a way to get him more involved in our offense. I started researching online and looked at several different offensive schemes. The main thing I was looking for was a way to spread out my opponent, utilize my QB more, and not change our identity on offense. After a long search, I found Coach Pat Murphy of Montana and he was very gracious to share with me what he was doing out of the gun while maintaining the integrity of the wing-t. Like most coaches, I needed to make sure that I could find something that we could hang our hat on. From under center we have always hung our hat on the buck sweep, fullback trap and the waggle. We decided we would build off of the same concept form the gun. We installed the Sweep, Cross and Bubble as our base package. The beauty of this package is that all three plays look exactly the same.
Our Base Formation in the Shot gun Wing-T is very similar to the 100 formation in the base wing-T except we have replaced a running back with a receiver. We still have a wing back and a TE to the strong side but the QB is in the place of the Full back and we have two receivers away from the TE. We use Compass directions for the names of our formations. Our base formations are East (Figure 1) and West. West is the same as East just flipped to the other side. We also use North and South. North (Shown in Figure 2) is just like East except the Z receiver is lined up on the same side of the TE to give us a TE trips look. We do this if we want to move the CB out away from the formation. South would be the opposite of North.
The sweep from the gun is pretty much the same play as the buck sweep from under center. We are still pulling two guards and sealing down with play side tackle, TE and Wing. We line the QB back at 5 yards off the ball and the HB at 4.5. We have a TE and wing to the strong side and twins away. The QB hands the ball off to the HB who follows the blocks of the guards. The QB will boot away faking the waggle after he hands off and the twin receivers show the bubble screen. Sweep Rules

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Lies, Damned Lies and Project Metrics (Part 3)
We've already covered the ideal qualities of metrics (informative and, preferably, predictive; objective; and automated), and why it's so hard to come up with useful metrics for IT management. Let's now talk about two concepts that may help you monitor and predict your IT project's course: instrumentation and heuristics.
My first job after graduating from college was with General Dynamics in San Diego. I worked on several projects there, but one of the most interesting involved tanks and trucks. At the time, the Soviets were putting plywood shells–shaped and painted to look like tanks–atop large numbers of trucks to confuse NATO attempts to track Soviet tank movements along the European/Soviet Union border via satellite photos.
This project's goal was to bounce side-looking radar signals off vehicles many miles away–that is, on the other side of the border─and determine if the vehicles had tracks (a tank) or wheels (a truck). Signal-processing techniques yielded 25 or so different characteristics in the returning radar signal; Bayesian analysis allowed us to use just three of those characteristics to distinguish accurately and rapidly between tanks and trucks.
The solution to IT project management metrics may be lie along the same lines, namely gathering as much information as possible and then finding which characteristics best identify or predict the state of the project.
In other words, instead of deciding ahead of time which metrics are likely relevant, you first want simply to gather as many metrics, or characteristics, of your IT project as you can, then process them to find which combination of metrics is most accurate for determining actual status and predicting completion.
This is where instrumentation comes in. Instrumentation simply means setting up your IT project so you can track as much information as possible about its different aspects and characteristics, preferably in an objective, automated manner. One place to start is your SCM (software-configuration management) system, which should be tracking, not just source-code changes, but changes and versions for all project deliverables (requirements, specifications, models, diagrams, test plans and results, and so on).
This means that your instrumentation will likely need to be able to (programmatically) go into your SCM system and extract that information. With this access, you want to extract characteristics, including size, changes, attributes and authorship, from various files and deliverables.
Next, you want to extract information from your defect-management system (you do have one, don't you?). You would gather information about the number of defects reported, closed to date, deferred, marked as duplicate, marked as enhancements and so on. You would track both total numbers and new reports for each unit of time (say, day or week), as well as the severity and priority of reported defects.
In conjunction with your SCM and defect-management systems, you also want to gather information about your change-control process, that is, the meetings you hold to prioritize defects and to approve or defer features. Another area to track is human information such as organizational structure, turnover, task assignments, background and qualifications of individuals, and meeting schedules. Again, as far as possible, this information-gathering should be objective and automated.
At this point, you're probably throwing up your hands and saying, "Wait! Stop! That's too much!"
My response to that is: We are willing to spend millions, tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of dollars on projects that fail, so why are we so reluctant to spend a tiny fraction of that to help those projects succeed? (The same short-sightedness applies to software quality assurance, but that's a subject for another column.)
Beyond that, the advantage of gathering so much information is that it makes it very difficult to fudge that information. A developer or manager might be able to do that with one or two particular characteristics but not with all the characteristics you're monitoring. What's more, there's a good chance that attempts to fudge a particular characteristic will show up due to inconsistencies with the other information being gathered.
Now that you have all this information, you start to work with it to develop heuristics (from the Greek heurisko, to find or discover–think eureka). Your goal is to find which combination of characteristics best predicts the current state, level of progress and ultimate completion of the IT project. Applying Henderson's Maxim─"Start out stupid and work up from there"─you want to try this first with a small project, gathering all the information about that project while monitoring the actual progress of that project, including problems and successes.
Use your best human and numerical analysis to figure out which combination of characteristics appears to predict most accurately the project's progress and completion. Note that when we started the radar project at General Dynamics, we didn't travel to Europe and collect radar signals from Soviet tanks and trucks, assuming we could even tell them apart; we went out to Camp Pendleton in San Diego and collected radar signals from known tanks and trucks. Likewise, you want to start out with a project where you clearly know the progress and results, independent of the information you're gathering.
Having done this initial calibration, repeat this process with several small and midsized projects, adjusting your heuristics, if necessary, based on your observations. Finally, you can start applying your instrumentation and heuristics to your large-scale projects. By this point, you should not only have a set of heuristics for tracking the status of your project, you should also be able to drill down and figure out where the problems and bottlenecks actually are.
OK, so much for metrics; come back next week when we'll tackle a new topic. Until then, I'll see you on the bitstream.

The advance of freedom is the calling of our time; it is the calling of our country. From the Fourteen Points to the Four Freedoms, to the Speech at Westminster, America has put our power at the service of principle. We believe that liberty is the design of nature; we believe that liberty is the direction of history. We believe that human fulfillment and excellence come in the responsible exercise of liberty. And we believe that freedom the freedom we prize is not for us alone, it is the right and the capacity of all mankind.George Walker Bush
Everybody favors free speech in the slack moments when no axes are being ground.Heywood Broun
Without free speech no search for Truth is possible; without free speech no discovery of Truth is useful; without free speech progress is checked, and the nations no longer march forward towards the nobler life which the future holds for man. Better a thousandfold abuse of free speech than denial of free speech. The abuse dies in a day; the denial slays the life of the people and entombs the hope of the race.Charles Bradlaugh
There is tonic in the things that men do not love to hear; and there is damnation in the things that wicked men love to hear. Free speech is to a great people what winds are to oceans and malarial regions, which waft away the elements of disease, and bring new elements of health. And where free speech is stopped miasma is bred, and death comes fast.Henry Ward Beecher
We hear about constitutional rights, free speech and the free press. Every time I hear those words I say to myself, That man is a Red, that man is a Communist. You never heard a real American talk in that manner.Hague, Frank
If we do not believe in freedom of speech for those we despise we do not believe in it at all.Noam Chomsky
There is tonic in the things that men do not love to hear. Free speech is to a great people what the winds are to oceans ... and where free speech is stopped miasma is bred, and death comes fast.Henry Ward Beecher
People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.Soren Kierkegaard
Criticism of government finds sanctuary in several portions of the 1st Amendment. It is part of the right of free speech. It embraces freedom of the press.Hugo Black
Fear of serious injury alone cannot justify oppression of free speech and assembly. Men feared witches and burnt women. It is the function of speech to free men from the bondage of irrational fears.Louis D. Brandeis

Nonpharmacologic Interventions for Treatment-Resistant Depression in Adults
Background: Electroconvulsive Therapy
ECT involves passing an electric current through the brain to produce a convulsion. This is achieved through bifrontal/bilateral or unilateral electrode placement that uses millicoulombs of charge. ECT includes administration of anesthetic and muscle relaxants. ECT is usually performed 2 or 3 times a week for 3 to 4 weeks. ECT is FDA approved for the treatment of TRD and is widely available throughout the United States.

WUP Sage-grouse Program Update:
This past year has been the "year of the sage-grouse" at our office! First, our partner the Sierra Club asked for our help in reviewing an Environmental Impact Statement that explored whether it is a good idea to allow coal mining outside the town of Alton Utah (north of Kanab). This would entail significantly expanding mining operations onto public BLM lands, away from the small private land parcel already leased for surface mining. If you live here in Utah you may have already heard that if the public land lease is granted, the town of Panguitch can expect one million coal haul trucks to rumble through day and night, over many decades. But you may not have heard about the Alton sage-grouse lek (breeding ground) that will be impacted. It so happens that the lek outside of the town of Alton is the southern-most documented lek of the Greater sage-grouse in North America. This is significant because the sage-grouse is a candidate for listing under the Endangered Species Act.
Unfortunately for this particular population of sage-grouse, private coal mining is already occurring less than a mile away from the lek and is affecting sage-grouse habitat. If we add to that the extensive, proposed public lands mining, there is almost no question that this population will be lost. So this past winter Wild Utah Project teamed up with the Sierra Club and its legal team to send over 25 pages of hard-hitting and scientifically-based comments to the BLM on the Environmental Impact Statement that would approve the lease expansion, and we are doing all we can to stop the mine expansion. And thanks to the BLM's new national strategy to conserve sage-grouse, we think we may have a fighting chance of succeeding!
Also, in the fall of 2011 the BLM announced a new national strategy for conserving sage-grouse across BLM lands throughout the West. This new strategy is in direct response to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's 2010 finding that the sage-grouse is warranted for listing under the Endangered Species Act. One of the chief reasons it is warranted is the "failure of regulatory mechanisms." What does this mean in plain English? The Service pointed the finger of blame squarely at the BLM's Resource Management Plans across the West and their failure to adequately ensure basic sage-grouse protections from destructive land uses like fossil fuel exploration and development, roads and fences, and livestock grazing.
Now the BLM is poised to amend 68 separate Resource Management Plans west-wide, including most of the Utah plans. This past winter the BLM had a public scoping period for the various Environmental Impact Statements guiding the process. Wild Utah Project worked with many of our other Utah partners to submit a "sage-grouse recovery alternative" during this comment period, based in the latest sage-grouse science. We will advocate that the BLM use this opportunity to make sure that the Resource Management Plan revisions offer the strongest possible sage-grouse protections.
Do we think the agency will accept our suggestions? In this case, we are hopeful because the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will likely have some significant influence over the BLM's decision. If the revised Resource Management Plans don't pass muster with the Service and they don't think the plans are strong enough on sage-grouse protections, there is every possibility that the Service will list the species when the final listing decision is due in 2015. Is this a risk the BLM thinks is worth taking? We hope not. Stay tuned. We will monitor the Resource Management Plan revisions closely and we'll let you know what happens.
And by the way, Wild Utah Project has been so involved in the sage-grouse issue in Utah over the past year that our media page is bursting with radio pieces and news clippings that feature Wild Utah Project's role in working for better protections for this species. Click here to go to our media page and scroll down to see all these sage-grouse stories, AND our special sage-grouse video we put together this past fall!

In compliance with the law of 13 March 2000 on electronic signatures, the online transmission of your card number and the final validation of your order serve as proof of the entire order and of the enforceability of the sums owed for the settlement of this order.
Only orders with invoicing and delivery addresses anywhere in the world other than in France, Germany, Belgium and Switzerland are accepted on the site www.cyrillus.com. For these countries, please visit the corresponding sites, see article 1 )

The parcel will be delivered to the delivery address indicated by you. The UPS agents will make three attempts to deliver your order. After three unsuccessful attempts, the UPS agents will try to contact you by telephone or e-mail. Should you not respond within 48 hours, the order will be automatically returned to the sender.
For each order, you are asked to provide an inclusive contribution to the costs for processing your order (postage, handling and packaging of the parcel), which is indicated in the "Basket" step when placing your order.

If an article does not suit you, you can exchange it or request a refund within 15 days after receiving your order (including special offers and sale items). To do so, simply fill out the section provided for this purpose in the invoice and return the item to us, unworn and in the original packaging (having completely filled out the corresponding section on the back of your invoice), to the following address:
You will be responsible for the return shipment cost using the postal services.
The refund will be provided onto your credit card or in the form of a credit note, depending on the payment method used at the time of your order.
Independently of the "Satisfaction or refund" guarantee described in article 7 below, you are also entitled to the legal conformity guarantee as well as the legal guarantee for hidden defects (see article 1 of the present terms of sale).
If you reside within the European Union, you will return your order by your own means and at your expense (in the absence of more favourable national provisions), while selecting the carrier of your choice (local postal services, UPS, DHL ...). Nevertheless, if you refuse the parcel at the time of its delivery (for example, if the parcel is damaged), it will be returned to CYRILLUS by UPS. In this case, you will not be responsible for the cost for returning the merchandise, and the price of your order will be refunded to you.
If you live outside of the European Union, you must pay the customs duties when receiving your parcel, as the merchandise is sent DDU (Delivery Duty Unpaid). Should you wish to return your order, you must visit the offices of the carrier of your choice (for example the local postal services) in order to fill out an export declaration. You will then be asked to indicate the country of origin of the merchandise (manufacturing country indicated on the item's "made in" label), the original amount and the selected INCOTERM. The latter will be DDU: Delivery Duty Unpaid.
You will then have to pay the return shipment cost, but will not have to pay the export duties.

CES 2012 in pictures: our 33 favorite concepts, booths and views from the show
As you read this, the DVICE crew has spread out onto trains, planes and automobiles for our ports of call. Here we say farewell to the nights huddling in hotel hallway corners hunting down the barest Wi-Fi signal, eating only once a day and digging up the craziest and most impressive concepts we physically could.
We'll have more thoughts on the show soon — and probably a few more concepts that are hiding out in the depths of our hard drives — but for now here's this sweet gallery while my in-flight Wi-Fi is behaving.
Posted on location at CES 2012 in Las Vegas. All photos for DVICE by Kevin Hall, Evan Ackerman and Raymond Wong as indicated.

About me
I am a researcher in the field of empirical ecology, grounded in theory, with a particular focus upon population dynamics and species interactions (including us, the humans, in the equation!).
My early fascination with ecology lead me to become an undergraduate research assistant in population ecology and afterwards in behavioural ecology in the University of Valencia (UV, Spain). These two experiences were complemented in the University of Barcelona (UB, Spain) by my Master's thesis on population dynamics of the European mink (Mustela lutreola). This work gave me the opportunity to gain invaluable insights from multidisciplinary research, underpinning the direction I gave to my subsequent PhD project focused on ecology and management of the American mink (Neovison vison).
In parallel to my thesis work, I have taken an active part in several projects undertaken by my colleagues at the University of Barcelona, as well as by colleagues based at the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC, USA), Università degli studi di Trieste (Italia), Estación Biológica de Doñana-CSIC (EBD, Spain) and with the European Mink Society (AVE, Spain) of which I am a founder member.

SALT LAKE CITY, May 17, 2013—Accountability is the watchword of President Obama, who loves to talk about it but seems confused about its meaning.
Regarding the developing IRS scandal, in which the federal taxing agency improperly targeted conservative groups for extra scrutiny, Obama expressed "outrage" several times. He added that those responsible "have to be held fully accountable."
SEE RELATED: Benghazi scandal is an affront to the American military ethos
If he is consistent with his understanding of the word accountability, then nobody at the IRS should have much to worry about.
The president, much like other politicians but to a greater degree, thinks accountability amounts to nothing more than verbal demands for accountability. It is similar to his penchant for taking responsibility by verbally asserting that he takes responsibility.
There is nothing more to it. A simple declaration forgives all sins.
Best-selling author Eric Metaxas's new book, Seven Men: And the Secret of their Greatness, is partly in response to what he calls a "crisis of manhood in the culture."
SEE RELATED: Obama's re-election appeal: Give me another chance
Honor, valor, and duty are values and virtues, Metaxas asserts, that have been forgotten by our political class. To accept responsibility in a meaningful way would require giving something up.
Sacrifice is something about which Barack Obama knows little.
On Monday the president declared that he "first learned about [the IRS scandal] from the same news reports that I think most of you learned about it."
Putting aside the difficulty in believing that the chief executive, the man with power to fire and hire IRS officials, knew nothing of the Inspector General's report, it is hard to take him seriously at all on the matter because of his manufactured outrage.
SEE RELATED: Why the Benghazi cover up is worse than the Iraq War
"If the IRS engaged in the practices that have been reported on…then that's outrageous," he proclaimed. That's a big if. It's also one that the IRS has conceded. So President Obama claims he heard about the scandal from the news reports, but he didn't even read the reports that laid out the basic fact of the scandal: that the IRS engaged in the practices that were illegal and unethical.
Nevertheless, if anybody did anything wrong, "they have to be held fully accountable."
Doesn't that go without saying?
Of course the acting IRS commissioner, Steve Miller, has resigned. Two weeks before his retirement, and effective not-so-immediately. There's your accountability.
This is nothing new. The same pattern played out months earlier, when the Benghazi affair erupted into scandal. The president at the time expressed outrage. When it came up during his debate with Mitt Romney, he took responsibility. He held himself accountable.
At least by Obama standards.
"I am ultimately responsible for what's taking place there because these are my folks," he said.
There you go. Four American died during a foreign affairs fiasco—one which may have been preventable, to a large degree—and the president claimed responsibility.
That was a day after then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took responsibility for the same debacle.
Would that it were that easy for the rest of us. If every time anyone made a mistake—committed a crime, lost money in a bad investment, offended a loved one—all he had had to do was say, "I take responsibility," and everything would go back to as before.
In the president's world he deserves extra accommodations.
"If I did anything wrong…hold me accountable."
Just don't expect him to do anything inconvenient.

The Food and Drug Administration Nov. 23 released a list of medical device
guidance documents that it expects to complete in the fiscal year that began
Oct. 1.
Higher-priority guidances on the agency's "A-list" include work on mobile
medical applications, pre-submission meetings with FDA staff, and the
refuse-to-accept policy for 510(k) or premarket notification applications,
according to a website
linked to a notice in the Nov. 26 Federal Register (77 Fed. Reg.
On the website, the agency said it has two lists: the guidance documents
"that the Agency fully intends to publish (the 'A-list'); and (2) a list of
guidance documents that the Agency intends to publish as resources permit (the
In addition, FDA said it invites comments on any or all of the guidance
documents on the lists to docket FDA-2012-N-1021. The comments may include draft
language on the proposed topics, suggestions for new or different guidance
documents, and/or the relative priority of guidance documents, the agency
In the notice, FDA explained that during negotiations over the Medical Device
User Fee Amendments of 2012 (MDUFA III), which is part of the FDA Safety and
Innovation Act that the president signed in July, the agency agreed, "in return
for additional funding from industry," to meet certain goals intended to help
get safe and effective medical devices to market more quickly. The commitments
include annually posting a list of prioritized device guidance documents.
On the agency website, the A-listed final guidance document topics for FY
2013 are:
• refuse-to-accept
(RTA) policy for 510(k) submissions, for which the agency recently completed a
comment period (6 MELR 634, 10/17/12);
• acceptance
and filing review for premarket approval (PMA) applications, also the subject of
a recent comment period (6 MELR 592, 10/3/12);
• investigational
device exemptions (IDE) for early feasibility device clinical studies, including
certain first in human (FIH) studies, released as a draft in the fall of 2011 (5
• in
vitro companion diagnostic devices, released as a draft in July 2011 (5 MELR
478, 7/27/11);
• design
considerations for pivotal clinical investigations for medical devices, released
in August 2011 as a draft (5 MELR 541, 8/24/11);
• the
de novo classification process, released as a draft in fall 2011 and subject of
a comment period ended in January (6 MELR 52, 1/25/12);
• evaluating
substantial equivalence in the 510(k) program, issued as a draft in late 2011 (6
MELR 9, 1/11/12), with comments due in April (6 MELR 325, 5/16/12);
• the
appeals process at the agency's Center for Devices and Radiological Health,
issued as a draft in late 2011 with its comment period ended in April (6 MELR
12, 1/11/12);
• device
classification product codes, the subject of a draft guidance from January (6
• mobile
medical applications, subject of a draft in July 2011 (5 MELR 476, 7/27/11);
• the
pre-submission program and meetings with FDA staff, the subject of a recent
comment period on a draft guidance (6 MELR 662, 10/31/12);
• the
"eCopy" or new electronic copy program for medical device submissions, the
subject of a recent draft (6 MELR 635, 10/17/12) with a comment period that
ended in mid-November (see related item); and
• 510(k)
submissions for devices that include antimicrobial agents, the subject of a
draft announced in 2007 (72 Fed. Reg. 39,630, July 19, 2007).
The agency also listed draft topics in its A and B lists.
FDA noted that it is not required to publish every guidance on either list
"if the resources needed would be to the detriment of meeting quantitative
review timelines and statutory obligations." The agency also said it "is not
precluded from issuing guidance documents that are not on either list."
FDA said it anticipates that feedback from stakeholders, including draft
language for guidance documents, will allow CDRH to better prioritize and more
efficiently draft guidances that will be useful to industry and other
The website is http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/Overview/MDUFAIII/ucm321367.htm.
Comments on the priorities should be sent to http://www.regulations.gov, and the
comments docket is FDA-2012-N-1021.

Union City Man Severs 6 Fingers in Industrial Accident at Eagle Recycling
01/01/2013 // WPB, FL, USA // Injury Lawyers News // Nicole Howley // (press release)
North Bergen, NJ — A Union City man severed six fingers in an industrial accident at Eagle Recycling on Dec. 19 is undergoing surgery to repair his hand. The workplace accident occurred around 6:24 p.m., when his hand became stuck inside a feeder at the recycling plant, NJ.com reports.
According to officials, the man, a 22-year-old Union City resident, was trying to grab a piece of cardboard that was jammed in a conveyor belt when his hands became stuck in the feeder and were severed.
West New York EMS rushed the man to Jersey City Medical Center for treatment. He is currently in stable condition and is undergoing several hours of surgery.
The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is investigating the workplace accident.
OSHA revealed that Eagle Recycling has had four inspections since 2009, which has resulted in 28 violations ranging from fire protection, electrical systems, sanitation, noise levels, and lack of personal protective equipment.
Investigations are underway.

Kenneth Cole Exploits Egypt to Hawk Shoes, Inspires Parody Twitter Account
- topic:
- Humor
- News / Politics
- Fashion
- Busted!
- Marketing
Fashion designer Kenneth Cole caught flack on Thursday for posting a tweet that makes light of the current situation in Egypt to promote his latest collection. The offending tweet read, "Millions are in uproar in #Cairo. Rumor is they heard our new spring collection is now available online at http://bit.ly/KCairo -KC."
It seems unlikely that many Egyptians were aware of Cole's spring line, considering that they've been without internet access for days, and they've been a little bit busy fighting their own police force and protecting the Library of Alexandria with a human shield. Cole was immediately called out by bloggers and media outlets for "hashtag abuse," because he exploited the understandably popular #cairo hashtag to score a bigger Twitter audience for his shoes.
Cole apologized for this violation of Twitter etiquette and good taste, but not before he'd garnered a scathing parody Twitter account, @kennethcolepr. It follows in the footsteps of the legendary @BPglobalPR, the fake Twitter account that skewered BP during the 2010 Gulf oil spill. So far, @kennethcolePR has amassed around 6,000 followers in one day of tweeting.

Important Message from Dr. Paul
Below is the latest message from C4L Chairman Ron Paul, discussing the need for liberty activists to draw a line in the sand in defense of our civil liberties.
As Americans' tears fell and our blood boiled as we watched the smoke billowing from the sites of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, few Americans could have foreseen the national security state Leviathan we live under today.
But ever since that fateful morning, the statists, using fear and mass hysteria, have pulled every trick in the book to expand government power and GUT many of our most sacred constitutional freedoms.
Now – after the recent tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut – establishment members of BOTH parties believe the timing is right to finally gut our Second Amendment freedoms, as well.
And should they succeed, you and I can only guess what will happen next.
C4L has created a special Liberty Protection Directive I'm counting on you to sign IMMEDIATELY to make your voice heard on this critical issue.
This fight is going to happen fast. The statists are determined to strike while anti-gun hysteria across the U.S. is at full-blast.
The Liberty Protection Directive makes it clear you're drawing a line in the sand.
No more assaults on our gun rights. No more assaults on our civil liberties.
No more standing by silently while the statists build up their prison walls all around us with outrageous schemes, including:
***Unmanned, armed drones flying overhead to spy on us;
***Department of Homeland Security-approved "Fusion Centers" issuing warnings about people who might have the "wrong" presidential candidate's bumper sticker on their car;
***Mandatory groping and naked body scans just to board an airplane;
***Warrantless wiretapping and snooping, enabling nameless, faceless bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. to listen to our phone calls and read our emails;
***Looking the other way while the President claims authority to assassinate American citizens on a whim;
***The NDAA's "indefinite detention" provision allowing our federal government to lock us up FOREVER without so much as a trial.
Of course, they tell you and me they're demolishing our constitutional liberties "for our own good."
They tell us we're so utterly powerless to protect ourselves against anything, we simply must depend on government overlords – who truly know what's best for all of us – to ensure our safety.
And now they're making the same laughable argument about our gun rights!
Studies show countries with high rates of civilian firearms ownership are the safest.
Countries where only those in power are armed – supposedly for the civilian population's "protection" – are cesspools of violence!
This should be no surprise.
The Founders included the Second Amendment in the U.S. Constitution as a bulwark against tyranny – as a check against evil men wielding the sword of government to bloody the American people into submission.
But now the Big Government crowd is going all-out to gut it.
There's no doubt – President Obama's anti-gun blueprint will serve as the basis for the statists' assault on our gun rights.
His outrageous desires to infringe on our liberties include the Feinstein Gun Ban – outlawing firearms that look "scary" – and a ban on magazines holding more than ten rounds.
But by far the worst is a thinly veiled national gun registration scheme hidden under the guise of mandatory background checks.
After all, you and I both know registration is the first step toward outright confiscation.
The establishment will do anything to ram these and other schemes through Congress, so there's no telling where this fight is headed.
And should they succeed on this issue, you and I are likely to see a mad rush of dozens of other outrageous plans designed to shred what remains of our constitutional liberties.
That's why it's critical you sign your Liberty Protection Directive to C4L IMMEDIATELY.
Your Liberty Protection Directive is a key part of the plan Campaign for Liberty President John Tate and I have put together to help fight back against the new attacks on our gun rights coming from Congress.
During my time in Congress, I did everything I could to stop radical assaults on our civil liberties and our Second Amendment rights.
And I have no intention of letting up on that fight now.
I've instructed C4L staff to pull out all the stops – including email, mail, op-eds, and blogs.
This type of program won't be cheap. But my hope is C4L will be able to raise the resources needed to fund hard-hitting radio, newspaper, Internet, and TV ads, as well.
Of course, none of this can happen without your help, so please agree to act today.
Seeing the statists' frantic rush to increase government power and further restrict our freedoms, I have to wonder if our gun rights are the last thread holding our republic together.
What might they do once they have nothing but disarmed victims in their sights?
World history brings to mind some horrific possibilities.
And I, for one, do not want to see that kind of madness happen here.
Instead, I want to do everything I can to guarantee ALL of our constitutional freedoms are protected – including our Second Amendment rights.
If you agree, please sign your Liberty Protection Directive today, and make your most generous contribution.
As I mentioned, there's no time to waste.
So please sign your Liberty Protection Directive to C4L IMMEDIATELY, and consider making a generous contribution today!
For Liberty,
Dr. Ron Paul

As I posted about last week, Netflix runs some pretty generous sign-up bonuses and they generally don't require contracts. That means, you can pay $8 for one month of service, get the bonus, and then cancel. Unlike some other purchases that I make just for miles (like buying cell phone screen wipes and wine openers for the US Airways Grand Slam Promotion), I actually use Netflix and find the service fast and reliable.
This offer, which gives 4,000 United miles for signing up for Netflix if you have a United credit card (2,000 if you don't have a United card), is pretty fantastic. Just like with the less lucrative 2,500 mile AA Netflix offer, if you already have Netflix, just use a new address and credit card and you should be fine. That is, unless you've signed up for a Mileage plus bonus in the past, in which case you probably won't get the miles.
If you don't have a United Mileageplus Visa, you can sign up for one here and get 25,000 miles after first purchase and an addition 5,000 for adding another user. Additionally, the $60 annual fee is waived for the first year and you'll get a $50 statement credit after your first purchase, a $25 travel certificate, and an upgrade certificate. However, since some people have been targeted to get 50,000 miles for signing up for a Mileageplus Visa, search your email before you sign up for this one.
Offer Terms and Conditions:
Offer is valid to new Netflix members only. Each Mileage Plus number is eligible for only one Mileage Plus mileage award. Current and previous Netflix members and their households are ineligible. Cannot be combined with any other offer, including a free trial. Purchase or redemption of Netflix gift subscription is not eligible to earn miles. Mileage Plus miles will be awarded for a new paid Netflix membership linked directly from this page. Valid payment method and a Mileage Plus number required. Please allow 8-10 weeks for mileage to post to your Mileage Plus account. A Netflix membership is a month-to-month subscription that you can cancel at any time. Click the "Your Account" link at the top of any page on the Netflix website for cancellation instructions. No refunds or credits for partial monthly subscription periods. The number of DVDs out at a time varies by plan. For example, the 1 DVD out-at-a-time (Unlimited) plan is $9.99 plus applicable tax. An additional monthly fee applies for Blu-ray access. Certain titles are available to watch instantly. Members may watch instantly only within the 50 United States and the District of Columbia. A device that streams from Netflix (manufactured and sold separately) and a broadband Internet connection are required to watch instantly on your TV. Xbox LIVE Gold membership is required to watch instantly via the Xbox 360. See www.netflix.com/TermsOfUse for complete terms and conditions of the Netflix service. (c) 2010 Netflix Inc.

Wes Gordon
At 25 most of us are still trying to figure out what we want to do with our life, in the case of designer Wes Gordon this couldn't be farther from the truth. Just to set the stage, Wes studied at Central Saint Martin in London and spent his summers with Oscar De La Renta and Tom Ford. So clearly it is no wonder why he has such strong work and innovative designs. What I think makes him such a strong designer is his ability to show his love for his clients in his designs. Currently his clothes are sold at Harrods London. He seems to be in tune with what women want. "Gordon says, "There's something amazing about meeting the woman who is buying your clothes and hearing her feedback about what she likes and does not like." My favorites of the NYFW collection were the high neck Rorschach-style print, coral silk dress, and python shorts. I could also see myself wearing the suit to work. The only accessory in the show was the "poppy field" painted nails on the models. Gordon models are wearing Manolo Blahnik shoes.
Gordon has a new collection with Bloomingdale's coming out in March 2012 with Jones New York, so mark your calendars ladies! I think his line is preppy and fun with an air of sophistication. Jones New York is known from being an older more established woman brand so I see there reasons for bringing on a relatively new designer to breathe new life into the brand. This could be the catalyst of change Jones New York needs in order to revive the image of the brand and bring in a whole new demographic of customers. Either way I think this young designer will be here to stay.
Check out what fashion trends are in 2012. This is a video of Gordon's show in New York Fashion Week 2011 illustrating designs for Spring Fashion 2012.

Defying both Phnom Penh's political leaders and his own Cambodian co-judge, UN-backed Swiss judge Laurent Kasper-Ansermet plows ahead with controversial investigations into five more Khmer Rouge suspects.
Robert Carmichael, Phnom Penh
It has been a long time coming, but this week brought the news that one of the two co-investigating judges at the Khmer Rouge tribunal has begun examining allegations against the tribunal's final five suspects.
Local media reported that Laurent Kasper-Ansermet, the Swiss co-investigating judge whose controversial predecessor quit in October, had started informing the five that they are formally under investigation by the United Nations-backed court.
The Cambodian government strenuously opposes the two cases, and most national staff at the hybrid court have refused to do any work on them.
Anne Heindel, a legal adviser with the genocide research organization DC-Cam, said news that Kasper-Ansermet had started his investigation into the two stalled cases was "critical for the court's legitimacy".
Heindel said court rules ensure that the Office of the Co-Investigating Judges – which is jointly headed by Kasper-Ansermet and his Cambodian counterpart You Bunleng – had "no choice" but to investigate.
Its previous failure to do so was in breach of its mandate.
"The court has not been following its own rules and procedures, and this is what the debate has been over these cases," she said.
"This is the first time that these sites are being visited, and people are being visited," Heindel said. "These are steps that have to be taken. And it's extremely important that he is notifying the accused of their rights."
Don't prosecute
The news will go down less well with Phnom Penh. Prime Minister Hun Sen and other senior officials have repeatedly said that trying the five suspects – who together constitute Cases 003 and 004 – was "not permitted", citing the risk of civil war.
Observers believe that is unlikely. Hun Sen's ruling Cambodian People's Party so thoroughly controls the levers of power that the idea that five elderly former revolutionaries could undermine the nation is remote.
Far more likely is that some influential politicians fear the longer the court investigates crimes of the Khmer Rouge period, the greater the chances that they could be exposed as potential war criminals.
"Just followed orders"
The tribunal says as many as 2.2 million people died during the Khmer Rouge's brutal 1975-79 rule.
The prosecution believes that the three suspects in Case 004 – all of whom were mid-ranking ex-Khmer Rouge – were cumulatively responsible for nearly 250,000 deaths.
One of the suspects in Case 004 told the Cambodia Daily newspaper she was not concerned at the prospect of a trial.
(The names of all five suspects have been widely published inside and outside Cambodia, but as those in Case 004 are under investigation, RNW has chosen not to name them.)
"I was just an underling who followed orders, not a head of state," said the 66-year-old former district chief.
"I don't need a court to judge me, and Prime Minister Hun Sen has already told the public that the tribunal is just for hearing cases 001 and 002," she said, referring to the court's first two trials.
Unrecognized, unperturbed
Complicating matters for Kasper-Ansermet is that the Cambodian government and You Bunleng have refused to recognize him, and have said that any work he does is invalid.
But the United Nations insists that the Swiss judge, whose appointment a year ago as reserve judge the government endorsed, is fully entitled to carry out his work because his ascent to the post of co-investigating judge followed automatically from the October resignation of his predecessor, Siegfried Blunk.
Blunk quit after months of accusations that he and You Bunleng deliberately scuppered the Case 003 investigation after they closed it without interviewing the suspects or most witnesses, and without visiting any of the crime sites. They were believed to be doing much the same in Case 004.
Diplomatic impasse
DC-Cam's Heindel said the rules of the court were not designed to cope with problems of this magnitude: the national co-investigating judge refusing to recognize his international counterpart; and the Pre-Trial Chamber – the body of five judges that rules on disputes on cases that have yet to go to trial – in serious disarray.
Heindel said the UN and the government needed to sit down and thrash out a solution or the process would simply get more tangled.
"Unless the diplomatic impasse is broken, the court will descend again into farce – and that's assuming it's moved out of farce," she said.
Funding remains the other critical problem. In recent weeks several donors have announced cash for the court, but their pledges have fallen short of what the Tribunal actually needs.
Meanwhile, the hearings in Case 002 will resume on Monday after a three-week break, with more evidence expected against the three surviving leaders of the Khmer Rouge: Nuon Chea, who is known as Brother Number Two and was the deputy to the movement's late leader Pol Pot; ex-head of state Khieu Samphan; and former foreign minister Ieng Sary.
The defendants, who are in their 80s, have been accused of responsibility in the deaths of up to 2.2 million people from execution, starvation, disease and overwork. They deny charges of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.

But since you ask, I want to share with you my first impression on your blog. I very much liked the entry with the header (which is so clear and light - almost reminds me of a beach and ocean and all that). But when scrolling down it becomes a little bit heavy on the right side while the left side stays white. And since you have a relatively broad right column the text is long and lets the pictures seem smaller.

I know this doesn't help, but I think it's the same with Layout as with everything: it depends on :) Sometimes I like it very much, when there is much going on on the page and you cannot capture everything at the first sight. But it has to be balanced in its different parts and it has to support and not overshadow the content. That is for photoblogs, as Deb also said, especially important. And that is where my problems begins, too :) At the moment I am also trying to adjust my blog to my taste and mood - first for myself, yes, but of course I also for people passing by in the hope they stay a while.

I don't like blogs with too much going on - my pet hate is adverts, when people have adverts between posts is the worst. I subscribe in a reader to the blogs I like to read, but I still like click through to the actual blog if I want to read the whole post (or comment, obviously). I think especially for photography blogs too much clutter can be really detrimental - we want to see the photographs.

I design my blog for myself, mostly - I think you have to please yourself before you can please anyone else, and if I like it it stands to reason someone else must like it too, it can't just be me! lol.

Your blog looks just dandy to me, but it is hard to not obsess over it, and I do change mine quite often as I'm never quite happy with it. xDebhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com

As many self-proclaimed Islamist groups - such as Isis in Iraq and Boko Haram in Nigeria - spark global outcry for their deadly uprisings in the name of sharia law, some have argued that these insurgents have nothing to do with Islam.
In order to break the myth that sharia law is Allah's law, sharia law expert Hassan Mahmud and Muslims Facing Tomorrow (MFT) – of which Mahmud is the general secretary - have launched the movement Radical Free Village.
"The backbone of radical Islam is Sharia law," Mahmud told IBTimes UK. "No matter how we approach the violence committed by Muslims in the name of Islam, it ultimately boils down to sharia law: a violent interpretation of Islamic scriptures that is a betrayal of the Koran and of human rights, especially women's rights."
In order to break the connection between sharia law and the Koran, MFT members have handed out copies of the book How Sharia Hijacked Islam in four villages in Bangladesh.
MFT has also made a movie, The Divine Stone, to be screened in the villages.
"The plot centres on a village where the people applied sharia law in the hope of ending crime, but by the end of the film so many disasters had befallen the villagers that they themselves rejected sharia law and came back to civil, secular law," Mahmud explained.
"Every time the movie was shown, audiences became eager to read the book to know more. Slowly, strong but peaceful public resistance grew against radical Islam, and the people proudly raised hand-made signboards in their villages – 'Radical Free Village' or 'Terrorism Free Village'".
According to MFT, the process of raising awareness against the dangers of sharia law is still arduous and protracted, however the results are promising.
"The movement has been picked up and reported in the national media. Some clergy and young radicals who originally resisted the movement have now joined," Mahmud said. "The unthinkable has happened...and this is just the beginning."
