Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Shipping Weight

It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

AFC East
1. New England — They still have as good a chance as any team of making it to the Super Bowl. Their schedule looks awfully favorable.
2. Buffalo — They are better than they were last season, but I think the playoff drought continues.
3. N.Y. Jets — Defense is still very good, but not impressed with the offense. I don't see them getting back to the postseason.
4. Miami — They are not strong enough in other areas to make up for their lack of firepower in the passing game.
AFC North
1. Pittsburgh — The Steelers won't make it look pretty most weeks, but the passing game and defense both could be among the league's best.
2. Baltimore — They are at worst a wild-card team. I don't see them finally breaking through and getting back to the Super Bowl, though.
3. Cincinnati — Still a decent-sized gap between the Bengals and the perennial powers in the division.
4. Cleveland — There might be some moderate improvement on offense, but they are not yet equipped to get out of the cellar in a tough division.
AFC South
1. Houston — One of a handful of AFC teams that are capable of dethroning the Patriots. This could be a special season for them.
2. Tennessee — Looks like a tough club that will battle hard and probably finish in the middle of the AFC pack.
3. Jacksonville — Should be better than last season, but it will not be enough improvement to put them in the conversation for a playoff spot.
4. Indianapolis — They will be in the running for the first overall pick once again as they struggle through a rebuilding year.
AFC West
1. Denver — I can't find more than nine games I expect them to win, but I think that will be enough to make them the champions of a division lacking a dominant club.
2. Kansas City — With several key players returning from injury, they should be improved enough to secure a wild-card spot.
3. San Diego — The mediocrity continues for the Chargers. I expect another .500 or so finish.
4. Oakland — If Darren McFadden stays healthy, they will have a shot to surprise. That is a huge "if" for a team that lacks quality depth in too many areas.
NFC East
1. N.Y. Giants — Didn't pick them to repeat, but it will be far from a surprise if they find a way to do it.
2. Philadelphia — Few teams can match their talent. I expect at worst a playoff berth as a wild-card team.
3. Dallas — A lot of good talent here. They just don't seem to be on the same level as Giants and Eagles.
4. Washington — I'm sleeping on the potential sleeper. They will make strides, but not the huge ones they need to surpass division rivals.
NFC North
1. Green Bay — As long as Aaron Rodgers is healthy, they have a chance to be dominant.
2. Chicago — Deeper and more potent on offense than they were a year ago. If Brian Urlacher is close to his usual self, they should be a wild-card team.
3. Detroit — Playoffs are a possibility again, but the pass rush has to be great to help conceal some of the secondary's flaws.
4. Minnesota — Clearly the worst team in a stacked division. They will be more competitive than some of the most pessimistic about their chances expect, though.
NFC South
1. New Orleans — The Saints are the NFC South's most talented team and I still consider them a title contender, despite Sean Payton's absence.
2. Atlanta — As much as I like the arsenal of skill-position players, their line play on offense and defense are two major concerns.
3. Carolina — There is not enough at wide receiver or on the defensive line/secondary. I like where they are headed, but I don't see a postseason bid for them this season.
4. Tampa Bay — This could be the most improved team in the division, but it's still the one with the most holes/question marks.
NFC West
1. San Francisco — With an intimidating defense and a good but not great offense, the 49ers should win the division comfortably.
2. Seattle — It seems like they leave me scratching my head more often than not. The Seahawks might be one of the league's most exciting 8-8 teams.
3. St. Louis — Wins for them could be few and far between, but there will be signs of improvement in Jeff Fisher's first year at the helm.
4. Arizona — Quarterback questions, offensive-line issues are the recipe for a long, disappointing season.
Offensive MVP — Saints QB Drew Brees
Defensive MVP — Cowboys OLB DeMarcus Ware
Super Bowl XLVII — Packers over Texans
- Super Bowl

What to do? What to see? How about ridiculously bad movies being ridiculed on stage? Or peruse all kinds of new bikes and gear to get ready for spring riding? Or see the choreography from West Side Story danced live? (Or see the original movie, with Rita Moreno, pictured above, if you prefer.) These and more cultural activities after the jump...FRIDAY: Cinematic Titanic
Cult films have a long history of attracting audiences to jeer at their bizarre scripts, horrible acting, and cheap sets. You can't explain why you enjoy them; you just do. Joel Hodgson and his late '80s show, Mystery Science Theater 3000, caught a ride on that inexplicable obsession (and the Satellite of Love) with a simple concept: watch movies and make fun of them. And we (geeks) watched and loved the cult program, launched on basic cable in Minnesota. It was life ridiculing bad art. After Hodgson's departure, the show continued until 1999. Now, he explained recently by phone from Los Angeles, he and several original writer-performers have regrouped to form Cinematic Titanic, a not-too-distant relative of MST3K. Of the new touring comedy troupe, which vends its spoofs via DVD and download from its Web site, says Hodgson, "Cinematic Titanic is like a boat on fire right now. Something is going on and I can't say what. But it has something to do with being in front of an audience." Robots Crow and Tom Servo, alas, are gone. But Hodgson is looking forward to his two Seattle shows (tonight and Saturday): "People are really into it." That, sir, is a monstrous understatement. King Cat Theater, 2130 Sixth Ave., 448-2829, www.kingcattheater.com. $42. 8 p.m. NEIL ESTEP
SATURDAY: Broadway Festival
In a field where there's already a high tolerance for repetition, Jerome Robbins still took it to extremes. Famously painstaking throughout his career on Broadway, in films, and in ballet, he wanted perfection from himself and his dancers. And he often came very, very close. Robbins' first encounter with West Side Story was as part of the team creating the 1957 Broadway show that altered the direction of musical theater, proving that dance was a dramatic tool rather than just a pretty sideshow. When it came to the 1961 movie version (see below), his insistence on multiple rehearsals put the project so far behind schedule that he was taken off the job before they filmed the "Dance at the Gym" number, but you can still see his mark throughout the film. His final version of West Side Story came close to the end of his life during his tenure with New York City Ballet. By making a suite of the dance numbers, he distilled both the story and his own craft. His work, along with that of George Balanchine, Susan Stroman, and Christopher Wheeldon, will be featured in PNB's Broadway Festival (through March 22). McCaw Hall, 321 Mercer St., 441-2424, www.pnb.org. $20-$155. 7:30 p.m. SANDRA KURTZ
Seattle International Bike Expo
What's so international? We have no idea, but your passports are likely not required for admittance. The range of new bikes and accessories, however, will probably run from Italy to China and back. Some 150 different vendors are expected, along with bikes on display for show, not sale. You can ride there via the Burke-Gilman Trail (bring your own lock), drive, or take Metro's Route 30. Free bike fittings are being promised (courtesy of sponsor Group Health), so you can ride home more comfortably than you arrived. On Friday at 8 p.m., with separate $20 tickets available in advance, Versus Netrowk commentator/goofball Bob Roll will deliver a talk sure to mention Lance Armstrong's comeback and chances at this year's Tour de France. The weekend event (through Sunday) effectively launches the spring cycling season. Even if you don't have much money to spend during our present recession, you'll probably pick up some inspiration to ride. And that, at least, is free. Magnuson Park, 7400 Sand Point Way N.E., 522-3222, www.cascade.org. $8 (cash only). 10 a.m.-4 p.m. BRIAN MILLER
SUNDAY: West Side Story
Maria! Maria! Maria! West Side Story is being screened in conjunction with PNB's Broadway Festival (see above). The 1961 take on Romeo and Juliet racked up 10 Oscars and remains a high-water mark for postwar American movie musicals. With a knockout book and score by Stephen Sondheim and Leonard Bernstein, the film boasts choreography by Jerome Robbins. (And, yes, you can see some of his same dances performed live next door.) We'll admit that Natalie Wood and Richard Beymer don't make the most dynamic or believable couple (while Rita Moreno is hot), but with the Sharks and Jets dancing madly around them--who cares? SIFF Cinema, 321 Mercer St. (McCaw Hall), 448-2186, www.siff.net. $7-$10. 2 and 6 p.m. BRIAN MILLER
George de Forest Brush
As a sidebar to the gargantuan new Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness show, 21 paintings of American Indians by George de Forest Brush occupy two smaller, lower galleries at SAM (also through May 24). A contemporary of Northwest photographer Edward S. Curtis, Brush (1855-1941) came later to the Indian theme, but displays the same romantic--and not always historically accurate--tendencies. His subjects occupy idealized patches of wilderness, hunting free in grasslands and lakes not yet despoiled by the white man. His serene canvases look backward, before the Indian wars and reservations. There is no Trail of Tears, and the influence of James Fenimore Cooper's The Last of the Mohicans is strongly felt. A Southerner who trained in Paris then returned to the U.S., Brush renders our continent's original residents (and owners) as noble savages. The images are dangerously close to van murals, but there's a strangeness that pulls them back from kitsch. Brush's nature scenes, often with Audubon-style birds in them, have an under-glass airlessness to them. They're specimens of something extinct, a way of life that disappeared during his own lifetime. Brush drew from life, as these paintings show. I prefer the smaller adjacent gallery of Indian heads and facial sketches--the preliminary portraiture before Brush inserted these figures into a landscape from which, in truth, they had already been removed. Seattle Art Museum, 1300 First Ave., 654-3121, www.seattleartmuseum.org. $9-$15. 10 a.m.-5 p.m. BRIAN MILLER


text: My court hearing was today and i ended up being a half hour late since i ended up going to three different buildings, not knowing where i was going..

ARGH.Ā I sent him a note on facebook, he's not on my friends list, but i found him and sent him a note telling him the situation, that they rescheduled.Ā Actually i had to take him off my block list, because he was going to harass me about going to court earlier.. so i unblocked him to tell him the new date and time.Ā Now he's sending me all these messages saying that im gonna lose my girls because of this stupid shit, that i shoulda called him if i needed anything, (but he never gave me his number) and he said that he had a lawyer with him going to serve me custody papers at the child support hearing. I wrote him back saying that its two different issues and they wont do both at the same time.Ā I know he's lying because i saw him leaving even though he didn't see me, there was no attorney with him.Ā I'm ignoring his messages on facebook for now on.Ā Should i block him again?Ā I dont get how he can go from wanting to sign over his rights a few months ago, to wanting full custody of my kids??? He hasnt seen them in 4 years.Ā Maybe once or twice for a few minutes.. never calls, never sends birthday cards or christmas presents.Ā He completely abandoned me and the girls and the reason why i never persued earlier because i was scared of what he'd do.Ā Now i am reminded of why i didnt file because of how he is acting.Ā Is the judge going to take my kids, that i have been raising alone, for 4 years and give them to him???

Dear Prudence,
My wife and I have two wonderful children, "Rebekah" and "Robbie." They have always been close and share many of the same friends. Both are living at home while attending a local college. Rebekah is very popular and has many platonic male friends, but she has developed a real crush on a young man in her class, "Jason." Recently, my wife and I returned home after a night out, and I went to check on Robbie who has a room in the basement. I was startled to find him and Jason lying on his bed, kissing and undressing each other. I was not seen and left quietly. My wife told me that Rebekah was asleep in her bedroom upstairs, and I muttered to my wife that Robbie was home. A few days later I returned home early to the sounds of two men having sex in the basement. I got into my car and took a long drive. When I got back, Rebekah had just arrived and she and Robbie and Jason were in the kitchen fixing a snack. I love my son and will always support him, but there are several issues. First, my wife will be unhappy to learn our son is gay. Robbie is an adult and it's not my place to tell her, but she will eventually find out. Also, we do not tolerate sexual activity in the house, regardless of sexual orientation, so there can't be a double standard with Robbie. I will have to tell him, and he will know that I know. Most important, I fear Rebekah will be hurt, and I don't want this development to damage the close relationship she and her brother have always had. What should I do?
—Confused Dad
Dear Confused,
How the world has changed when it's possible that Jason could one day be your son-in-law, despite his total lack of interest in your daughter. Anyone who's ever had both a basement and teenagers should know that the most innocent walk down those steps could mean stumbling upon scenes of naked writhing. I don't know what kind of marriage you have, but most husbands having seen their son in flagrante with another, male or female, would be moved to say to their fellow parent something like, "Honey, Robbie is home, and I have some news about how he's entertaining his guest." It is your place to tell your wife, and I think the two of you need to let Robbie know that you know. For help in dealing with all this, contact PFLAG, which gives invaluable support to parents with gay children. As for your decree that your college-age children not engage in sexual relations in your home, you're saving a boatload of money by not having them live at college. But if they were in a dorm, you would have no control over their sexual escapades. Your kids are actually young adults, and I think you need to rethink this rule. Finally, let's hope Rebekah is sturdy enough not to be crushed when she finds out why her crush never made a move, and that she will be accepting on discovering she's simply not his type. It's probably been quite confusing for her to see that Jason loves hanging out at her home, but all his lingering glances appear to be directed to Robbie. Alternately, perhaps Rebekah knows exactly what's up, and she's agreed to engage in a cover story to keep her parents from the truth.

Dear Prudence,
Over the holiday our family spent time with my husband's brother. My brother-in-law has long been known to have undiagnosed mental problems—he is paranoid and delusional. On this visit he cornered whomever he could to blather about why the apocalypse is coming, and about socialism and the Federal Reserve. He also constantly wore a fanny pack. I tried to keep our young children away from him. On our drive home, my husband told me that his brother has been given a permit to carry a concealed weapon. It turns out there was a handgun in his fanny pack, and he took the gun across many state lines. I am beside myself. He is exactly the man who shouldn't have a firearm. My husband said the church his family attends promotes paranoia and gun-toting. My husband did speak to his parents about this, explaining that his brother's carrying a loaded weapon was a recipe for disaster and that his paranoid tirades were a sign that his brother needed help. His mother defended him "exercising his rights." This scenario seems to be a tragic accident waiting to happen. We aren't going to see the brother-in-law again for a long time, but should we be contacting some public health officials?
—Gun Shy
Dear Gun Shy,
Whether one considers our lax gun laws insane or not, I wish everyone could agree that firearms and mental illness do not mix. Unfortunately, as this highly disturbing New York Times investigation shows, our laws concerning mental illness and gun ownership are an ineffectual morass that rarely results in permanent firearm confiscation. Studies show that the mentally ill who adhere to treatment are unlikely to be dangerous, but the same can't be said for the unmedicated and undiagnosed mentally ill, especially those suffering from paranoia. But your husband's whole family embraces a collective delusion that his ranting is an indication of his perspicuity. I agree with Washington Post columnist Ruth Marcus when she wrote that Adam Lanza's mother, his first victim, enabled his crimes by purchasing the arsenal for her disturbed son. I hope your husband uses what influence he has to get his brother to a doctor. Your husband could let the rest of your family know that he doesn't want his children around firearms, so that future visits may be in jeopardy if the brother continues to show up carrying a weapon. He can also make the case that with help his brother can lead a happier and more productive life. But in the absence of the brother coming to the attention of the criminal justice system, things will probably continue as they are. I think your husband should call the authorities in the state where his brother lives and explain why he thinks his brother should not have a concealed carry permit or even any firearms. Be prepared that nothing will change.

The knife-sharpening video which prompted Brandon Sheard of Farmstead Meatsmith to start slicing animal flesh was very informative. But it was "just horribly boring," recalls
The knife-sharpening video which prompted Brandon Sheard of Farmstead Meatsmith to start slicing animal flesh was very informative. But it was "just horribly boring," recalls Andrew Plotsky, who produced Sheard's first instructional online video, a 24-minute overview of whole hog butchery released this month.
"That was the inspiration to make ours beautiful," says Plotsky.
The first episode in a planned series intersperses captioned images of Sheard breaking down a pig - "knife on flesh, saw on bone," he counsels - with images of him preparing the cuts he's isolated. A hock is braised in milk, then served at a warmly-lit family dinner. The cleaving and cooking is accompanied by a musical soundtrack featuring Louis Armstrong and Animal Collective, among other artists.
"It was a new process for all of us, and I think the most exciting thing was trying to incorporate entertainment into education," Plotsky says. "It's the everlasting pursuit for all educators."
On The Anatomy Of Thrift: Side Butchery from farmrun on Vimeo.
So Sheard doesn't drone on about how farmers used to raise and slaughter their own animals, until supermarkets sanitized the process. Instead, there's an illustrated story about a Frenchman named Augustus.
"I was trying to make it as non-patriotic as possible," Plotsky says when asked why he located his narrative overseas.
The video, funded through Kickstarter, was viewed 2500 times in its first 48 hours.
"The response has been overwhelmingly positive," Plotsky says. "Everyone's been very happy. No furious PETA patrons yet."

I have a UINavigationController in which I am loading different view controllers. I want to know how can i access the elements (like labels etc) of my previous view. Here is an eg.
View A myLabel.text = @"first view";
(User moves to view B)
View B (user entered a message, that i need to display in View A) something like ViewA.myLabel.text = @"user entered message"
I tried many things but was not able to find anything very useful. Please help..
I am using Xcode 4 without ARC and without storyboard.
Thanks Sam
I want to update the property declared in viewController of View A and not the labels directly. My labels get updated using that property. Like while pushing the viewController we can pass the values as below.
ViewA *myView = [[ViewA alloc] init];
myView.title = @"View B" ;
myView.tableView.tag = 3;
myView.myTextView.text = @"Some Text";
[self.navigationController pushViewController:myView animated:YES];
[myView release];
Is there any way to pass these values to properties of ViewController of ViewA while popping ViewB and returning back to ViewA ?
The actual scenario is as follows: the user gets and option to write a message in textView or he can use the predefined templates. If he clicks on the templates button he is taken to a list of predefined templates where he can select any of the predefined message. Now I want that when the user click on any of the predefined message the view containing the list of predefined message gets popped of and the message he selected gets automatically populated in the textView of main view. what is the best approach to achieve this ?
TIA Sam

Botox, a short name for the process also known as Botulinum Type A, is used as an anti-aging treatment to block the nerve impulses that control the movement of the facial muscles. Botox is widely used today for treatment of nerve disorders, muscular spasms, facial lines, and even migraine (but in this case, higher doses are required). There is no recovery time needed after the procedure, but eyelid drooping is the only significant side effect one may experience in Botox procedure. Botox is administered through injections on the forehead for the removal of wrinkles and creases. Eyelid drooping may appear at one or both eyelids after Botox is injected into the muscles between or above your eyebrows. The drooping side effect will be visible 2 weeks after the injection and can last for months afterwards. Here are other facts to know about Botox and drooping eyelids.
Tip #1: Know more about where the Botox procedure came from.
Botox is an anti-aging treatment made from Botulinum Neurotoxin which is produced by Bacterium Clostridium Botulinum. It works by paralyzing the muscles through blocking the neurotransmitter contraction. And because of the capacity to paralyze muscles, Botulinum toxin is now being used widely to clinically treat neuromuscular disorders such as facial spasms, multiple sclerosis, and even vocal chord dysfunction. As early as the 1980's, cosmetic procedures using Botulinum neurotoxin A was already used to treat facial spasms. The use of this treatment relaxes areas by interrupting the contraction of the underlying facial muscle which causes a smoothing effect. Until now, it is still the leading cosmetic procedure preferred by men and women who wants to fight the sign of aging.
Tip #2: Establish side effects.
After the Botox has been injected on the forehead, some side effects have been observed. And the most significant is the drooping of the upper eyelids. The drooping of the eyelid will only appear after 3days to 2 weeks after the treatment. And one or both of the eyelids might be affected, and if the droop occurs only at one side it could raise concerns of facial nerve damage. The Botox procedure may worsen your condition if you already have droopy upper eyelids. It is so important to talk and ask from your doctor about the side effects before undergoing this kind of procedure. Sometimes because the side effect is rare, the doctors may not inform you about this anymore.
Tip #3: Know more about how Botox may affect or cause drooping eyelids.
Our body is made of large and small muscles. In the face, we have many small muscles and nerves that control the activity of the eyes, the eyelids, and the movement of the eyebrows. Naturally, one may experience upper eyelid drooping after the Botox injection between the eyebrows or directly above them. In some very rare cases, the Botox procedure has led to a numb sensation as far down the face as the upper lip.
Tip #4: Learn about treatments that may solve the problem of drooping eyelids from Botox.
To stimulate the upper eyelid muscle to contract and counteract the drooping, there are eye drop medicines which you could use. Eye drops such as Alphagan, Iopidine, Ipratropium, and Phenylephrine could be prescribed by doctors. Some who suffered eyelid drooping tried the non-medical approaches like using a daily facial tightening mask, daily steam sauna, or massaging the eyebrow. But no eye drops or any massage can eliminate the side effects. All you need to do is to wait.
If you want to try the Botox treatment to remove your wrinkles, just be sure that the one who will administer the procedure is a licensed doctor and one that is well experienced in this kind of field. That way, you can avoid problems such as drooping eyelids.

With the continuation of the 50 per cent. income tax rate, investment through the enterprise investment scheme ("EIS") continues to be an attractive proposition for high net worth individuals, bringing a growth in recent times in the launch of EIS funds in the market. However, EIS funds are unique in their structure and give rise to particular considerations for fund managers looking to establish a fund of this kind.
Investment in EIS qualifying companies provides a number of tax advantages to individual investors.
Investors may claim a reduction in their income tax liability for the tax year in which they make the investment of an amount equal to 30 per cent. of the amount invested in shares in EIS qualifying companies, provided that the shares in the qualifying company are held for at least three years. This is subject to an annual investment limit of £500,000, set to increase to £1 million from 6 April 2012.
Where an investor qualifies for income tax relief on shares held in EIS qualifying companies, the investor will also be entitled to exemption from capital gains tax on any gains realised on disposal of the shares provided income tax relief has not been withdrawn.
Additionally, an investor who has realised gains on other assets can defer the tax on those gains by re-investing the proceeds in shares in EIS qualifying companies.
There are a number of criteria that apply both to investors in qualifying companies and to the qualifying companies themselves in order to qualify for relief under the EIS, and care will need to be taken to ensure that all of the relevant requirements are met prior to any investment being made.
For shares issued on or after 6 April 2012 there will be an additional type of EIS relief known as Seed EIS. This will apply only to investments made in small companies within two years of incorporation and will entitle investors to a reduction in their income tax liability for the tax year in which they make the investment of an amount equal to 50 per cent. of the amount invested. The same capital gains tax exemption will apply as for EIS.
The qualifying conditions for a company will be broadly similar to EIS, although Seed EIS will apply only to companies with gross assets not exceeding £200,000 and with fewer than 25 employees. The annual investment limit for an individual will be £100,000.
Whilst EIS funds are termed such, an EIS fund is not a fund in the usual sense of a collective investment scheme, where the fund vehicle is the client of the manager, and a fund structure sits between the manager on the one hand and the underlying investor on the other. Rather, the fund operates as a series of discretionary investment management agreements between the manager and the respective investors in the fund.
Each individual investor's investment into the fund is pooled across investors and investments are made in EIS qualifying companies. However, investments are not held collectively, and each investor receives a separate parcel of shares in the EIS qualifying company in proportion to his or her investment in the fund, which are usually held by a nominee company on behalf of each investor. A custodian is usually appointed to hold the relevant investments and an administrator appointed to provide fund administration services. In order to qualify for EIS tax relief, shares in qualifying companies must be held for at least three years, after which the investments are usually exited and the fund wound up in due course.
Fund managers looking at establishing EIS funds will need to ensure that they have the correct regulatory permissions in place in order to do so. The scope of permissions required is likely to depend on the regulated activities undertaken by the manager as a whole, and the relevant management structure adopted in relation to the fund. However, the following are issues that are likely to arise in relation to the management of an EIS fund:
Regulated ActivitiesAs noted above, an EIS fund is structured as a series of discretionary investment management agreements between the manager and each individual investor in the fund. It is therefore likely that managers will be undertaking the regulated activities (amongst others) of managing investments and advising on investments as manager of the fund. Managers will therefore require to have these activities included within their regulatory permissions in order to act as manager on behalf of the fund. Managers should also ensure that their regulatory permissions do not include any limitations which may affect their ability to manage the fund; for example, a limitation to corporate advisory business only or in relation to investments which do not include shares.
Regulatory Status of the ClientThe absence of a fund structure in relation to an EIS fund means that the investor will be the direct client of the manager. As the EIS investment is only available to individual investors, managers will be required to treat investors as either retail clients or elective professional clients, provided certain conditions are met. Where management of the fund involves activities caught by the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (which will be the case in the context of an EIS fund), clients must meet an additional "qualitative test" in order to be treated as elective professional clients, which involves the client meeting two out of the following three criteria:
For this reason, and in order to maximise exposure of the fund to the widest possible group of potential investors, most managers will want the ability to treat investors as retail clients. Where not already obtained, managers will need to consider whether their regulatory permissions should include managing investments on behalf of retail clients and this may involve the manager and individuals within the management entity meeting additional regulatory requirements.

Biospecimen Retention: Samples Without DNA
Detailed Description:
The purpose of the research is to collect and examine spinal disc and ligament tissues to see if there are any biological markers that can be correlated with MRI images to help us learn more about causes of back pain. Spinal discs are the pillow-like cushions between the bones of the spine. They act as shock-absorbers for the spine. Spinal ligaments support the disc structure during movement.

Degenerative disc disease is the most prevalent indication for spine surgery and the major source of back pain in afflicted patients. Age related degeneration of the intervertebral discs is not the exception, but the rule. Degenerative changes are associated with weakening of the disc and hypertrophy of the ligamentum flavum in the spine. The aim of this study is to determine if there are any local or systemic biomarkers that correlate with the severity of degeneration as indicated by radiological examination. To date, Imaging (XRay, MRI, CT scans) are the most widely used diagnostic tools for identifying degenerated discs. Physical changes in the disc are also associated with increased secretion and expression of inflammatory mediators in the tissue. The investigators are interested in measuring both gene and protein level changes of inflammatory mediators in degenerated discs in order to correlate these levels with imaging based indicators of degeneration. Protein level changes in the disc and ligamentum flavum have yet to be correlated with MRI-derived disc modic changes classification system. The investigators hypothesize that as the image characteristics of advancing degenerative disease increase, a corresponding change will be present in the secretion (or expression) of specific markers related to inflammatory processes in the disc. Cytokines found to be upregulated in disc tissue or ligamentum flavum will also be measured in patient's serum levels to begin developing a systemic diagnostic method for detecting disc degeneration.
