Listen to Jazzheads on the Umm...Drop Podcast.
It's been nearly 10 years since Jazzheads played together, but when the quartet starts its two-night gig at Chris' Jazz Cafe this weekend, "It's just going to feel like an old pair of shoes," drummer Ari Hoenig says with a laugh. "You get into an old pair of shoes and it's like you never stopped wearing them."
It was about 14 years ago that Jazzheads first started playing together (though guitarist Tim Motzer cautions, "I'm not sure what the actual story is at this point") and Hoenig was playing a weekly gig at Ortlieb's Jazzhaus while Motzer was playing with King Britt's Back2Basics at Silk City. The two met and decided to collaborate. With the addition of saxophonist Chris Cuzme and bassist Ben Bocardo, they played extensively around Philadelphia and the region. They recorded their one and only album in 1998, Avant Wot Not , released on Motzer's 1K label.
The album's 10 tunes were an unexpected yet cohesive combination of acid jazz, drum and bass, funk, soul and straight-ahead jazz. "It was just like the band was one sound. It wasn't four guys playing together—it became one identifiable sound and I don't think it sounded like anything else," Motzer said.
Though the band slowly disbanded not long afterward, as 2008 rolled around, Hoenig—now an accomplished jazz drummer and band leader—was redesigning his website and wanted to include the Jazzheads album. Coincidentally, Motzer had already been thinking about rereleasing Avant Wot Not to celebrate its 10-year anniversary, and so the album was rereleased last year.
"It has somewhat of a timeless quality to me because the actual playing that went down was honest," Motzer explains. "We weren't trying to fit into a particular mold—we were just inspired by our particular surroundings at that time." ■
Fri., July 24 and Sat., July 25, 8pm and 10pm. $15-$20. Chris' Jazz Cafe, 1421 Sansom St. 215.568.3131. chrisjazzcafe.com
"Wow, there is nothing like unlimited live jazz. The evening was well spent at Chris Jazz Cafe. A friend of the family invited us out for drinks and I was blown away by the Jazz Heads. The feel was one body in motion, in control, out of control and then meeting back in the middle. I listen to the album for about 15 hour on my drive back to Florida."

12 CFR 250.405 - No exception granted a special or limited partner.
The Board has been asked on several occasions whether section 32 of the Banking Act of 1933 (12 U.S.C. 78) is applicable to a director, officer, or employee of a member bank who is a special or limited partner in a firm primarily engaged in the business described in that section.
Since the Board cannot issue an individual permit, it can exempt a limited or special partner only by amending part 218 (Regulation R). After the statute was amended in 1935 so as to make it applicable to a partner, the Board carefully considered the desirability of making such an exception. On several subsequent occasions it has reconsidered the question. In each instance the Board has decided that in view of a limited partner's interest in the underwriting and distributing business, it should not make the exception.

Sukumaran, K K and Neelakantan, B (1996) Relative growth and sexual maturity in the marine crabs, Portunus (Portunus) sanguinolentus (Herbst) and Portunus (Portunus) pelagicus (Linnaeus) along the southwest coast of India. Indian Journal of Fisheries, 43 (3). pp. 215-224.
| PDF 414Kb |
The relative growth of the secondary sexual characters like chela in male and abdomen in female of Portunus (Portunus) sanguinolentus and P.(P.) pelagicus was studied and the results presented. Morphological analysis revealed that transitions in the cheliped dimensions and abdominal widths of these crabs are related to prepubertal and postpubertal changes associated with gonadal development and onset of sexual maturity. The study indicated that the pubertal moult occurred in P. (P.) sanguinolentus and P. (P.) pelagicus at a carapace width of 85-90 mm in males and 80-90 mm in females as evident from sudden increase in morphological characterisitics. The allometric relations between the set of characters studied suggested that the relationships were positive and significant.

[POST-ROCK] When Volcano Choir released Unmap in 2009, few knew what to expect from America's newly minted sad-guy laureate. Upon releasing For Emma, Forever Ago,
Bon Iver's Justin Vernon employed lo-fi "dude with a tape deck"
production and a rustic backstory to craft a cathartic testament to the
power of solitude. He literally wandered out of the woods and into the
hearts of millions. So when Vernon teamed up with Wisconsin-based
experimental post-rock group Collections of Colonies of Bees,
disappointment was the knee-jerk reaction from most. "What the hell is
this?" I asked myself when I heard "Island, IS," one of Volcano Choir's
early songs, for the first time. "This sounds like it was made
by…computers." The lyrics made no sense, and sounded almost happy.
Still-cryptic ramblings aside, Volcano Choir's 2013 follow-up, Repave,
feels much more like a mission statement—not just guys getting baked
and emailing guitar loops back and forth, but a purposeful actualization
of Vernon and some good friends working together as a band. As tempting
as it is to call this "Bon Iver's dalliance with post-rock," it's a
shortsighted label that collapses under the sweep of tracks like
"Alaskans" and "Comrade." The cachet will surely get people in the
door—the show is sold out—but they'll marvel at something greater than
its parts when the lights go down.

PrepXtra Top 10 boys' teams

BRIEF: North East woman charged in computer theft in Erie

BRIEF: North East woman charged in computer theft in Erie
Nov 09, 2012 (Erie Times-News - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- Erie police have charged a North East woman with stealing a laptop computer from a person at a fast-food restaurant in September.
Megan Akerly, 18, of the 10600 block of Station Road, was arraigned today before Erie 4th Ward District Judge Tom Robie on charges of robbery and theft by unlawful taking.
Police accuse Akerly of grabbing a computer from a person who was using it at the McDonalds restaurant at 1115 Sassafras St. on the afternoon of Sept. 16, according to the criminal complaint filed in the case.
Police said video from the restaurant showed Akerly running out of the restaurant carrying the computer while being chased by the victim, according to the complaint.
Akerly was released on $5,000 unsecured bond.

In Michigan, it's easier to buy an assault rifle than a revolver.
Handguns are strictly regulated, and background checks are required for anyone who doesn't already have a license to carry a pistol.
But a person can buy an assault rifle from a private seller, like a semiautomatic version of an AK-47, and avoid a background check

Released: Jun 01st, 2006
Running Time: 155
Director: Thomas Zupko
Company: Excessive Entertainment
Distribution Companies: VCA Pictures
Anthony Rosano, Adrianna Nicole, Avy Scott, Marcos Leon, Hollie Stevens, Kris Slater, Jason Horne, Tony T., Barbara Summer, Chloe Dior
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
This five-scene boy/girl effort suffers from some lazy editing that includes statements and actions clearly not intended for the viewing audience left in the final cut. Additionally, Adrianna Nicole's scene, while decent, is incredibly drawn-out. Also, it's difficult to determine if Chloe Dior is genuinely disinterested in her shoot, or if she's just trying to act that way. Either way, the attitude doesn't work, and Dior is the only girl to refuse anal, which appears to be a surprise to director Thomas Zupko.
The flaws aside, this release that features all five blondes slurping cum out of a wine glass does provide a few strong anal scenes, most notably, the sexual collision between Avy Scott and Anthony Rosano. Scott gets her ass oiled up real good, and Rosano's cock pistons in and out of her rectum like butter. The entire session is kinky, frenetic, and the two generate great chemistry together.
Retailing: If raincoaters prefer blondes who do anal, stock it.

Read Jacob T. Levy's take on this issue here.
Political philosophers have taken in recent years to distinguishing between "ideal theory" and "nonideal theory." As I understand the distinction, the former has to do with the way we think that political institutions ought to be, were they to embody our preferred values perfectly. The latter pertains to the choices that we ought to make on specific issues of real-world political morality, given that our institutions are as they are—that is,

Developmental robotics is a collaborative and interdisciplinary approach to robotics that is directly inspired by the developmental principles and mechanisms observed in children's cognitive development. It builds on the idea that the robot, using a set of intrinsic developmental principles regulating the real-time interaction of its body, brain, and environment, can autonomously acquire an increasingly complex set of sensorimotor and mental capabilities.
This book offers a concise and accessible introduction to the emerging field of artificial cognitive systems. Cognition, both natural and artificial, is about anticipating the need for action and developing the capacity to predict the outcome of those actions. Drawing on artificial intelligence, developmental psychology, and cognitive neuroscience, the field of artificial cognitive systems has as its ultimate goal the creation of computer-based systems that can interact with humans and serve society in a variety of ways.
Evolutionary robotics (ER) aims to apply evolutionary computation techniques to the design of both real and simulated autonomous robots. The Horizons of Evolutionary Robotics offers an authoritative overview of this rapidly developing field, presenting state-of-the-art research by leading scholars. The result is a lively, expansive survey that will be of interest to computer scientists, robotics engineers, neuroscientists, and philosophers.
This book offers the definitive guide to the theory and practice of disaster robotics. It can serve as an introduction for researchers and technologists, a reference for emergency managers, and a textbook in field robotics. Written by a pioneering researcher in the field who has herself participated in fifteen deployments of robots in disaster response and recovery, the book covers theory and practice, the history of the field, and specific missions.
Robots today serve in many roles, from entertainer to educator to executioner. As robotics technology advances, ethical concerns become more pressing: Should robots be programmed to follow a code of ethics, if this is even possible? Are there risks in forming emotional bonds with robots? How might society--and ethics--change with robotics? This volume is the first book to bring together prominent scholars and experts from both science and the humanities to explore these and other questions in this emerging field.
This book proposes a transdisciplinary approach to investigating human motor control that synthesizes musculoskeletal biomechanics and neural control. The authors argue that this integrated approach—which uses the framework of robotics to understand sensorimotor control problems—offers a more complete and accurate description than either a purely neural computational approach or a purely biomechanical one.
Robotics: Science and Systems VIII spans a wide spectrum of robotics, bringing together contributions from researchers working on the mathematical foundations of robotics, robotics applications, and analysis of robotics systems. This volume presents the proceedings of the eighth annual Robotics: Science and Systems (RSS) conference, held in July 2012 at the University of Sydney.
With robots, we are inventing a new species that is part material and part digital. The ambition of modern robotics goes beyond copying humans, beyond the effort to make walking, talking androids that are indistinguishable from people. Future robots will have superhuman abilities in both the physical and digital realms. They will be embedded in our physical spaces, with the ability to go where we cannot, and will have minds of their own, thanks to artificial intelligence. They will be fully connected to the digital world, far better at carrying out online tasks than we are.
Robotics: Science and Systems VII spans a wide spectrum of robotics, bringing together researchers working on the algorithmic or mathematical foundations of robotics, robotics applications, and analysis of robotics systems. This volume presents the proceedings of the seventh annual Robotics: Science and Systems conference, held in 2011 at the University of Southern California.
One of the enduring concerns of moral philosophy is deciding who or what is deserving of ethical consideration. Much recent attention has been devoted to the "animal question"—consideration of the moral status of nonhuman animals. In this book, David Gunkel takes up the "machine question": whether and to what extent intelligent and autonomous machines of our own making can be considered to have legitimate moral responsibilities and any legitimate claim to moral consideration.

Call of Duty: Black Ops II
No Offense.. But BO2 killed Halo 4
- Back To:
- Board List

- Topic Archived
Halo knew they had to release before BO2 dropped otherwise their game would've completely flopped and that would've been the end of the Halo franchise as we knew it. GTA V delayed their release almost a full 6 months just to avoid being anywhere near BO2's release window. Face it COD has a stranglehold on the industry, notice how Rockstar tried to get cute and release their 2nd trailer when BO2 hit shelves to try and steal the spotlight from BO2? Oh you didn't notice that? That's because nobody cared, BO2 was already taking the world by storm. Besides, that GTA game just looks like a bunch of cutscenes anyway. GTA's cutscenes look cartoony, BO2's campaign cutscenes you actually see the facial expressions and detail, it pulls you into the story so much more than GTA's where I find myself skipping them because I get bored, not to mention the AI graphics just aren't as polished so I can't take the characters seriously like I do with COD games. Not only that, COD has the most loyal fanbase in gaming history, that is why they can never fail. You can't find another game that has more die hard fans. The haters just need to face it and deal with it. Come to terms do whatever you have to do, all your whining and complaining isn't going to stop, slow or even deter the COD franchise. They will continue pumping out classic after classic and if you don't like it, then too bad, you can get left behind because you're a straggler and don't matter in the grand scheme of things. | |
The lag compensation in BO2 makes it an infinitely more frustrating and bad experience so take your sales number, turn them sideways and stickem straight up your candy ass. --- http://i.imgur.com/34Fj8.jpg | |
That is because halo is the same as its been since halo 2 bro Its antiquated I owned Halo before BOPS2 came out And I had fun, a lot of fun But it does not compare to the fun I'm having in this game | |

Halloween photo overlay with The Letter 4
You know the feeling when you find a new blog (that has some great content built up) and you ask yourself "How have I not been here before?!" and spend way to much of the day getting lost in that blog? That's how I felt when I found The Letter 4. There are four fabulous ladies that call it home, but today I'm so excited to kick off the Halloween season with Jamie!
Hi I'm Jamie! Howdy howdy howdy. I blog over at
I'm not the only one you'll meet over there, I've also got my crazy awesome talented 3 other sisters over there with me. What I love about running a blog with my sisters is that we all have different talents so we pretty much cover everything in our blog!
I'm so glad I get the chance to do a quick guest post here at Mary Jane's and Galoshes! When I saw that name I knew it was going to be the cutest blog ever :)
We haven't done any Halloween posts over at our blog yet and I wanted to kick off one here today!
Behold the spider photo overlay. You can download this and lay it onto your photos in photoshop to give it that spooky feel I know your looking for it being October now and all!
(that is my daughter by the way, isn't she the sweetest?!)
click here to download black spider
I hope you have fun with this, I'm planning on offering a lot more doodle overlays coming soon!
Thank you so much Taylor for having us you are awesome!

Just to clarify in case it's confusing! There are two downloads, one for a black spider overaly and one for a white one! If you you have any problems with them please let me know (the white spider might look blank but it should work, *should hehe)
Thank you so much Taylor! You are so sweet and your blog is completely amazing!Oh! I just Love Halloween and all the fun things that go with it, especially the overlay. And you know I'm gonna be abnoxious & put it on basically every photo, not really (actually I probably will haha) Thanks for sharing Jamie & thank you Mary Janes & Goloshes, I love your blog & photos by the way:)

I am a user of Ruby on Rails framework and am thinking of giving back to it by contributing to the code. I understand that there is a need for thorough understanding of the Ruby language concept to contribute? Ive cloned the project, looked at the code, check out the tickets and have no clue how to begin? From what i see the Rails Framework utilizes metaprogramming alot? So what other aspect of Ruby do i have to master in order to start contributing? or to contribute is to know the ins and outs of Ruby? Thank you.!
It has been quite awhile since I ran across ruby code I didn't understand, but there are parts of rails that really push my understanding of ruby. That being said, even if you are at more of an intermediate level with the language, figuring out how rails works would probably be a great way to up your game. As for where to begin, I would start by writing plugins. Think of a cool plugin you could write that hasn't been done yet, or something that you think you could do better. Whatever it is you want to do, chances are you are going to need to hook into some sort of rails internals to do it, which will give you a good place to start. Once you have a bit of knowledge of a given area of the framework, see if there are any open bugs in that area you can fix. The barrier is quite high, since rails is a quite large and complex program written by people who have a high level of mastery with an incredibly flexible language. It is also a great challenge that will probably make you a better programmer in the end. :) Edit: to help out banister This is actually pretty interesting if it is a snippet designed to illustrate how class variables and singleton classes work, but there are much clearer ways to accomplish the same thing if it is "real" code. Singleton ClassIn ruby, every object has a parent class that it gets its methods from. This is pretty normal for OO languages. What isn't normal is ruby also has a concept called "object individuation, that means that objects can have methods that are only on a specific instance, but not on the parent class. here is a quick irb example
First, we assign a string to a variable. Next, we define a method on that instance. Calling the method works, but calling it on a new string does not work. Assigning a new string instance to our foo variable also does not have that foo method. To make object individuation possible, there needs to be something in between the instance, and the parent class. That thing is the singleton class, and every instance has one that is unique from all other object instances. When ruby is looking up a method, it will look at the singleton class before the parent class. Believe it or not, even if you have never heard of this before, you have probably already used it. If you want to add a "class method" to something, you usually do this
To start from the top, the statement Inside a class definition, self refers to the class, so saying If you find this stuff complex, it is because it is. I don't think there is anything more complected in ruby other then what happens during method lookups, and singleton classes are a big part of what makes it so complex. Class VariablesA class variable is prefixed by
First, we define Foo. Foo has a class variable that tracks how many instances were created. To do that, we increment that variable in the constructor, and lastly just define a quick getter. Bar just extends Foo. Now, to see it in action, we make a new foo, and check the count, which is 1. Next, we create a new bar, and check the count, we are now at 2. Just to make sure that both Foo and Bar share the same count, we check our foo instance again, and it is 2 now. Class variables are a very situational feature that you usually don't see outside of framework code. It is usually used when you want to keep track of all instances of a given class. Banisters Code
Your code is showing those two concepts in action. First, we open up the singleton class of a new object, and put a class variable on it. If it were anything other then a class variable, those first three lines would be the most useless ruby code in the world. But since it is a class variable, that becomes visible to the class, all instances of the class, all classes that inherit from the class, and all instances of all classes that inherit from the class. Since the class we are talking about is object, that means everything. So doing class_variable_get on String gives it to you, but you could access that variable from any class or instance you wanted to. I am sorryThis is horribly complected stuff that is very hard to explain clearly. These concepts took me about a week or so of fairly concerted effort to wrap my head around. If you have any questions about what I wrote, feel free to ask, but don't be discouraged if you don't "get it". |
RoR has a bunch of places you can start out but they may not be what you're looking at. The first place to start is probably documentation here. You'll need to know a ton of Ruby at a deeply personal level in order to contribute serious core patches, but you can get in on the discussions right now and you can improve documentation in a way that the core team really, really, really needs. Sorry, better link here |
The thought is really appreciated. I think you answer the question yourself. If you can't read and/or understand Rails code, then that is the bottle-neck. Without even looking at the code, I'll take a wild guess they use inheritance, mixins and meta-programming. You should definitely try to study those aspects regardless if you will contribute to Rails. They are essential concepts in Ruby, Rails and Ruby/Rails libraries. |
I think you answered a lot of your own questions: yes, you need to understand Ruby to contribute to a Ruby project. If you want to learn, you can pick up a ticket and start hacking on it: there's nothing quite like jumping in the deep end! However, I think you can only begin to contribute effectively to a project once you've used it enough for yourself to understand:
All of the above should come from real-world needs: otherwise you can't state your case for why some feature that you thought up needs to be added... |
To work on any framework you need to have a reasonable understanding of the language or if you know lots in one certain area but really get in touch with the people and just talk to them ask what there currently working on and if you feel you can help say and give them your ideas, etc.... i mean the dev community is very nice and the fact that they spend there time working on something to give to other people for free so there always happy to help and try and include and let you know if and how you can help. But mainly, a little more then the ins and outs and best if you know lots in a certain area |
In addition to the comment I left on your original question... Ryan Bates (of Railscasts) fame recently released 2 screencasts where he walks through the internals of the Rails 3 router. I found it to be a great & eye opening approach to reading and understanding framework code. If you get the opportunity, check them out:
Perhaps these 'casts may help you to be more comfortable in building your approach to getting down with the framework code. Hope this helps! |

Breaking News From Pimp Preacher.com

Other Pastors that have made the running for the Worst Pastor of 2010 is Rev Gerry James, Pastor Ed Young Jr., Bishop Anthony Jinwright, and Bishop Jim Swilley just to name a few. The winner of the Worst Pastor of 2010 will be announced on December 31, 2010 at 11 am (CST) on Church Folk Revolution Radio.

Thomson Dream Cruise Review by aegean456: Better than expected
Member Rating
Better than expected
Just completed our first cruise on the Dream. We did back to back Mediterranean cruises and had a fabulous holiday. We loved the ship and preferred it to the Celebration and the Spirit. Our cabin was an Outside plus on deck 6 which was spacious, comfortable and well equipped. The cabin steward, Joemar, kept it clean and in tip top condition.
The bars, Broadway theatre and lounges were excellent, tasteful and very comfortable. The Orion restaurant was wonderful with very good food, excellent presentation, service and a luxurious ambiance. We had lunch and dinner there. The Waiters were efficient but very friendly.
With antique furniture, paintings and artefacts liberally scattered around the public areas the ship had the feel of a luxury hotel.
We went on three excursions and found them well organised and reasonable value for money. The choice of ports of call were very good with a combination of major 'must do' destinations combined with quieter, charming More
Despite the ship being full we never had a problem finding a sunbed, our preference being to relax on the promenade decks.
The entertainment in the Broadway lounge was of a very high order and hugely enjoyable. The facility was first class and the performers were highly talented and worked extremely hard. I'm not a theatre goer but it's hard to imagine west end shows being any better than what we saw in the Broadway.
The entertainment team provide a full and imaginative programme of events throughout the day to cater for all tastes and abilities.
Our only negative was the Lido restaurant. For speed we used it for breakfast and because we do not attend the Captain's evening we had to dine there twice at night. It was disappointing that no tables had been laid with tablecloths or candles as happens on the Celebration and Spirit Lido restaurants in the evenings. With it's large, bare tables, it was worse than eating in a motorway service area. It is badly organised with one main serving area so queues quickly form. Also, there was only one hot drinks station and one hot water tap so it could get very chaotic in this area. The Lido simply is not good enough and stands out in sharp relief from the high standards of the rest of the ship.
One other small point is that WiFi packages were very expensive so we relied on Wifi zones in cafes when ashore.
These negatives did not impact at all on our huge enjoyment of this wonderful holiday. We were sorry to leave the ship on Saturday. Less

The Story
Something so simple, yet the results border on magic. For hands-on cooks, it's easy to rub away the odors from garlic, fish and other strong foods with this contoured stainless steel "soap bar." "Wash" your hands with water using the perpetual bar as "soap," and let natural chemistry neutralize those powerful scents.

Smoking marijuana for medical purposes should be allowed in the state of maine
N . Jackson Professor Class 26 August 2007 Medical Marijuana should be legalized in the United States The use of marijuana to alleviate symptoms of many chronic illnesses has been a hotly contested issue within the United States government and among private citizens . Most recently the debate has moved to the spotlight as several states have virtually ignored federal laws and enacted their own medical marijuana laws . It is my argument that every state in the nation should allow citizens with chronic or debilitating illnesses to smoke medical marijuana for
relief of symptoms . I will present evidence to support my claim as well as introduce arguments made by opponents of medical marijuana
The major opposition against the use of marijuana for medical purposes has come from the U .S . government , so for this argument I will use three major arguments used by the Drug Enforcement Agency in an effort to shed more light on the opposition . First , the DEA argues that marijuana has a high potential for abuse . Next they argue that it has no accepted medical use within the United States and finally , they argue that there is sound evidence that smoked marijuana is harmful (FDA 2006 . To support my own argument , in favor of the use of medical marijuana , I will draw from arguments made by patients who use marijuana for medical purposes as well as medical evidence that supports my claims
In a 2006 inter-agency advisory released by the United States Federal Drug Administration , the FDA asserted its claims that marijuana has no medicinal value based on its high potential for abuse . The National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA , which falls under the National Institute of Health (NIH ) listed hashish and marijuana among the most commonly abused drugs , which helps determine the criteria for a drug to be placed on the Controlled Substance Act (CSA . The claim , by NIDA and the DEA that marijuana has a high potential for abuse has virtually been in unsupported by concrete evidence and only supported by scare tactics and rhetoric . It is important to note that their `potential for abuse is linked with addiction and the study completed by NIDA states long-term marijuana use can lead to addiction for some people (NIDA 6 . While this is not indisputable evidence of marijuana 's addictiveness , this study and others that make the same claim are where the government gets their information to place marijuana on the CSA . To further add to this absurdity , NIDA cites a study involving twins where one twin uses marijuana recreationally and the other does not , to support their claims that marijuana use is a `gateway drug . Using unreliable subjects to draw concrete conclusions further lends credibility to those who argue in favor of medical marijuana use
Another common argument made by the DEA is that medical marijuana has no accepted medical use within the U .S . Even if we forget that prior to 1937 marijuana was legal in this country , the FDA contradicts its own arguments by allowing seven...

On Dec 2013, senior executives of Apple Inc. met with the United States Food and Drug Administration. What transpired during the meeting was kept confidential at that time.
On Monday, it was made public that the meeting was a discussion on a new product with sensors and glucometer and how the committee plans to regulate these new Apple features. This information was revealed by the Memorandum of Meeting obtained through Freedom of Information Act sought by Apple Toolbox.
The meeting was attended by Apple's executive - Jeff Williams, Senior Vice President of Operations Bud Tribble, MD-PhD, Vice President of Software Technology Cathy Novelli, Vice President of Worldwide Government Affairs Michael O'Reilly, MD MS, Vice President of Medical Technologies Tim Powderly, Director of Federal Government Affairs - and FDA officers - FDA: Margaret Hamburg, Sally Howard, Jeff Shuren, Bakul Patel, Jeff Shiffman.
The document revealed that Apple particularly sought information on how FDA will regulate a device with sensors and a glucometer. As suggested and reflected by various reports, the device in question could be the iWatch.
As per FDA regulation, the sensor per se will not undergo regulation but the software powering the sensor will be regulated. The software shall not render the device to function as a medical device.
"For instance, a glucometer would be considered diagnostic because it measures blood sugar; it would not be considered merely information although it "informs" the user of the blood sugar level. The display screen of the glucometer would not be regulated, as it only receives the data and shows it. The software that does the measuring is the part that is regulated," FDA upheld.
"... the glucometer may be unregulated if the intent is for a user to follow their blood sugar for the purposes of better nutrition. If the glucometer is marketed for diabetics, however, it would more likely be regulated as a medical device," FDA emphasised.
Incidentally, Apple was granted a patent for a weightlifting tracking system on Tuesday. The US Patent and Trademark Office gave Apple US Patent No. 8,749,380 which declares a that "Shoe wear-out sensor, body-bar sensing system, unitless activity assessment and associated methods," AppleInsider reports.
The tracking system was designed with a separate sensor to reflect data to a remote display. The remote display could possibly be the iWatch.

BEA to Express SOA View of the World
BEA is unveiling its service-oriented architecture at eWorld.
As the pace toward service-oriented architectures quickens, more developers are scrambling to explain the merits of their competing SOA implementations. At its eWorld conference in San Francisco this week, BEA Systems Inc. will lay out its SOA vision through a plan currently called Project Sierra. Comprising a set of educational and professional services, Project Sierra, which BEA began discussing earlier this year, is designed to give business users, rather than technical users, a reason to select BEA to implement their SOA. In addition, the plan will communicate best practices, patterns and a business case for implementing SOAs.Be sure to add our eWEEK.com developer and Web services news feed to your RSS newsreader or My Yahoo page
