PENTAX Validates Reprocessing Instructions for ED-3490TK Video Duodenoscopes: FDA Safety Communication
Date Issued: February 19, 2016
Audience: Users of the PENTAX Medical (PENTAX) ED-3490TK Video Duodenoscope and reprocessing facilities including:
- Gastroenterologists
- Gastrointestinal surgeons
- Endoscopy nurses
- Staff working in endoscopy reprocessing units in health care facilities
- Infection control practitioners
- Facility risk managers
Medical Specialties: Gastroenterology, Infection Control
Device: PENTAX ED-3490TK Video Duodenoscope model
PENTAX has issued updated, validated manual reprocessing instructions for the ED-3490TK Video Duodenoscope to replace those provided in the original device labeling. The FDA reviewed these updated reprocessing instructions and the validation data and recommends that facilities using PENTAX ED-3490TK Video Duodenoscopes train staff on the updated instructions and implement them as soon as possible.
Summary of Problem and Scope:
As noted in the FDA's February 2015 Safety Communication, the complex design of duodenoscopes may impede effective reprocessing. Reprocessing is a detailed, multistep process to clean and disinfect or sterilize reusable devices. If not properly reprocessed, residual body fluids and organic debris may remain in microscopic crevices of the device following an attempted cleaning and high level disinfection. If these residual fluids contain microbial contamination, subsequent patients may be exposed to serious infections. The FDA has been working with duodenoscope manufacturers as they modify and validate their reprocessing instructions to further enhance the safety margin of their devices and show with a high degree of assurance that their reprocessing instructions, when followed correctly, effectively clean and disinfect the duodenoscopes.
In February 2015, PENTAX began modifying its reprocessing protocol and, in May 2015, initiated testing to validate its updated reprocessing instructions. Between July and September 2015, PENTAX conducted additional testing to ensure its high-level disinfection protocols demonstrated an adequate safety margin. In October 2015, PENTAX submitted their cleaning, high-level disinfection and sterilization reports to the FDA. The Agency reviewed this data and requested additional cleaning tests, which PENTAX conducted. PENTAX submitted additional test data in January 2016, which the Agency reviewed and found to be adequate.
The updated reprocessing instructions for the ED-3490TK Video Duodenoscope include a more rigorous protocol for pre-cleaning, manual cleaning, high-level disinfection and liquid chemical sterilization procedures. In addition, updated instructions include additional text, figures, cautions and warnings intended to clarify the validated reprocessing procedure. The Agency believes that when followed, these updated, validated reprocessing instructions demonstrate consistent and reliable cleaning, high-level disinfection and sterilization of PENTAX's ED-3490TK's Video Duodenoscope.
PENTAX sent a letter dated February 19, 2016 to health care facilities and other users of the ED-3490TK Video Duodenoscope outlining the updated, validated reprocessing instructions. Updated Reprocessing Instructions for Use (IFU) and the Operation IFU accompanied the notification letter that PENTAX sent to its ED-3490TK customers.
Please note the key changes to the reprocessing procedure for PENTAX's ED-3490TK Video Duodenoscope:
- Additional detail regarding flushing of the elevator mechanism with detergent
Manual Cleaning:
- Additional detail regarding detergent solution preparation and use
- New steps detailing brushing with existing PENTAX Medical cleaning brushes (models CS-C9S and CS6021T) and flushing of the elevator mechanism
- Increased volumes of fluids for internal channels
- Additional detail regarding brushing of the instrument channel inlet
- Increased number of endoscope rinses after detergent immersion
- Additional warning regarding the potential for instrument channel obstruction
Manual High Level Disinfection (HLD):
- Additional detail regarding high level disinfectant preparation and use
- Additional detail regarding flushing of the elevator mechanism during HLD
- Increased volumes of fluids for internal channels
- Increased number of endoscope rinses after disinfectant immersion
- Removal of ethylene oxide as a sterilization method
- Addition of STERIS System 1E® as a liquid chemical sterilization method
In addition, the FDA has the following recommendations for facilities and staff that use and reprocess PENTAX's ED-3490TK Video Duodenoscope:
- Implement the updated manual cleaning and high level disinfection procedures for PENTAX's ED-3490TK Video Duodenoscope in accordance with the manufacturer's reprocessing instructions. Facilities that opt to sterilize the ED-3490TK Video Duodenoscope should also follow sterilization procedures in accordance with STERIS' instructions.
- Train appropriate staff on PENTAX's updated reprocessing instructions and implement them as soon as possible.
- Contact your PENTAX Medical sales representative to arrange for in-servicing and training regarding the updated duodenoscope reprocessing procedures. PENTAX will also follow up with customers to assess their in-servicing or training needs.
FDA's recommendations are based on currently available information. If new, important information becomes available, FDA will update its recommendations.
FDA Activities:
The FDA continues to closely evaluate the association between reprocessed endoscopes and the transmission of infectious agents by:
- Working closely with duodenoscope and Automated Endoscope Reprocessor (AER) manufacturers as they validate their reprocessing instructions to a level adequate to clean and disinfect their devices.
- Proactively communicating recommendations to health care providers and end users to help mitigate the risk associated with infection transmission and reusable medical devices.
- Working with the health care community, professional societies, international public health agencies, federal partners and state and local governments to investigate the association between reprocessed reusable medical devices and cases of bacterial infection in health care facilities.
Visit the Infections Associated with Reprocessed Duodenoscopes webpage for a complete listing of actions the Agency has taken on this issue. The Agency will continue to provide updates as appropriate.
Reporting Problems to the FDA:
Device manufacturers and user facilities must comply with the applicable Medical Device Reporting (MDR) regulations.
Health care personnel employed by facilities that are subject to the FDA's user facility reporting requirements should follow the reporting procedures established by their facilities.
Prompt reporting of adverse events can help the FDA identify and better understand the risks associated with medical devices. Health care providers should submit voluntary reports of the transmission of an infection due to an inadequately cleaned duodenoscope to the Agency via the Medical Device Reporting (MDR) process.
If a health care provider suspects bacterial contamination—either because of an increase in infections after ERCP, or because of the results of bacterial surveillance culturing of duodenoscopes—we encourage the health care provider to file a voluntary report through MedWatch, the FDA Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting program.
Contact Information:
If you have questions about this communication, please contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education (DICE) at email@example.com, 800-638-2041 or 301-796-7100.

Don't sweat it: Nicolas Sarkozy steps back into the Elysée Palace after a run. Photograph: AP/Christophe Ena.
Nicolas Sarkozy is facing criticism from that formidable quarter in French cultural life: the intellectual classes. But not (yet) for any plans to introduce privatisation, slash state spending, or cut subsidies to farmers.
No, it's much more serious than that. Nicolas Sarkozy, says the left bank crowd, goes running too much. Jogging is rightwing, philistine and fundamentally not French. Why not adopt a more contemplative and poetic recreation, such as walking, asks Alain Finkielkraut.
Behind this, perhaps, one might suspect that the practice of political leaders donning shorts and running shoes is regarded by some in France as altogether too "American" - since, certainly from the Clinton years, jogging has become virtually de rigueur for US presidents. At the same time, it is almost universal for those in the arts to feel somewhat suspicious of and hostile towards those whom they perceive as more interested in a cult of the body than the life of the mind.
What do you think? Can you be physically fit and still capable of maintaining intelligent conversation on an elevated plane? Or are the philosophes right and is jogging a signifier of philistinism?

The Red Snowshoe, British Columbia
A B&B with a difference: White Tail is a spacious prospector tent on a rural farm in the Kootenays. Sleeping just two guests, it offers all manner of creature comforts – Siberian goose-down pillows and duvet, plaid flannel bedding, a wood-burning stove... and Wi-Fi. There's a separate bathhouse and hearty breakfasts are served in the farmhouse. A nearby swimming hole beckons on hot summer days.
The Red Snowshoe, Slocan Valley Road West, Slocan Park, British Columbia (001 250 359 7001; theredsnowshoe.com). The tent starts at C$129 (£84), including breakfast.
Sundance Lodges, Alberta
This Rocky Mountains campsite grew from a single tepee, which owners Sheryl and Brian Green bought in the 1980s. With the aim of offering accommodation to either travellers without tents or the budget to stay in hotels, Sundance now comprises traditional Sioux tepees and trapper's tents that are decked out with wooden floors, beds, lanterns, a heater and outside space for cooking and campfires. Tent pitches and RV sites are also available.
Sundance Lodges, Kovatch, Kananaskis Country, Alberta (001 403 591 7122; sundancelodges.com). Tents sleeping four start at C$79 (£51), room only.
WildExodus, Ontario
Canada's Boreal forest covers almost two thirds of the country, reaching from Newfoundland across to the Yukon. In a section of Ontario's woodland, adventure specialist Wild Exodus offers a luxury camping experience in Wawaitin Falls Park. The camp of fully furnished tents is let out to one group of four to 12 guests for a week at a time. Arrive by canoe and spend the week swimming in the rivers and lakes, picking berries and discovering the local wildlife.
Wild Exodus, Wawaitin Falls Park, Boreal Forest, Ontario (001 705 266 1555; borealforest.travel). Tents sleeping two people start at C$521 (£338), full board; minimum seven-night stay.
Huttopia, Québec
The Huttopia concept was born in France 12 years ago, introducing campers to unspoilt wilderness via low-impact but comfortable timber huts, tents and roulottes (caravans). Now Huttopia's A-frame tents are available in Canada, with sites in 14 of Québec's national parks among wildlife and stunning scenery. Explore fjordal landscapes in Saguenay, lakes and forests in Frontenac, bay islands in Bic or mountains in Gaspesie or Mont Tremblant.
Huttopia, Québec (00 33 4 37 64 22 35; huttopia.com). Tents sleeping up to four people start at €84 (£74), room only.
Solstua West, British Columbia
This Discovery Islands campsite delivers "nature in comfort", with expansive, plump beds that look out on to the Calm Channel and the surrounding temperate rainforest from their sturdy tent surroundings. With few inhabitants at this end of the Strait of Georgia, the lure is the peace and solitude; most visitors come for salmon fishing and stunning fjordal views. Bear watching, kayaking, walking and sailing are other diversions.
Solstua West, Rendezvous Island, Calm Channel, British Columbia (no phone; solstuawest.com). Tents start at C$350 (£228) full board; two-night minimum stay.
Clayoquot Wilderness, British Columbia
The main concession to camping is the canvas that separates you from the outdoors. The prospector-inspired tents offer under-floor heating in ensuite bathrooms, antique furniture, "modern natural cuisine" in the restaurant and spa tents where you can unwind with holistic therapies. The biggest draw is the setting, at the mouth of a nine-mile fjord surrounded by a forest and hot springs.
Clayoquot Wilderness Resort, Bedwell River, Tofino, British Columbia (001 250 726 8235; wildretreat.com). Tents sleeping two people start at C$3,167 (£2,057), all-inclusive; minimum three-night stay.

Excellent 4.4 /5 from 80 reviews
Loved this place in Tel Aviv, The bar was an incredible experience!! Very comfortable and fun.
A nicely designed hotel with very small rooms. Comfortable beds make up for it. Great bar, very unique. Wish there was a place to sit outside a bit but there are plenty of other places to do so in the city. Wonderful location.
Very good location. Small and very supporting and friendly staff. The room was somehow small and there was not a suitcase stand. However, the room includes almost all we need and in very good condition.
Wonderful hotel. Great location. Room was small, as is typical of Tel Aviv, but nicely done and comfortable. The staff were all outstanding and friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. The bar on the first floor is one of the best in Tel Aviv. I have stayed in a number of boutique hotels in Tel Aviv, but this one is now at the top of my list.
Great location, friendly service, nice breakfast, plus a happy hour -- no complaints! Showed up bleary eyed ca. 9:00 a.m. after long flights, absolutely not expecting our room to be ready, and it wasn't -- but they took our bags, sent us to the breakfast buffet, and expedited the room prep, so had it ready by ca. 10:00 -- more than expected! The location is fantastic; not too far from the old city, neighborhood is pleasant, and there's a nice walk along the old train tracks to the First Station.

Well my flyball tournament has come and gone once again. I think it always goes too fast but Mom sometimes thinks it's too long. I'm the one running not her! She only has to catch me and not let me run again until it's my turn. What's so hard about that? I'm only 85 pounds of bursting energy - it shouldn't be that difficult! :-)
My Mom says I did real good at the tournament. I only had to rerun twice but it wasn't my fault. It was a combination of Mom and the other dog. Mom released me too early and the other dog didn't cross the start line fast enough before I did!!!
I think it's just about nap time. As much as I love those flyball tournaments, they do wear me out! Yap later!
I can't wait! I can't wait till tomorrow cause my Mom's taking me to a flyball tournament. Yeah!!! I just love flyball! I love to run and run and run. I have to admit, it does tire me out but I LOVE it. Well I better go and take a nap so I can rest up. Wish me luck! :)
Flyball? Let's go! What are we waiting for? As my Mom can tell you, I LOOOVE flyball. If it didn't wear me out so much, I would do it twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week!
Now...for those of you who don't know what flyball is, let me give you an explanation. Actually I'll just give you explanation that's on my flyball team's flyer...... "Flyball is a fast-pace, team sport for dogs that was invented in California in the late 1970's / early 1980's. Flyball relay reaces match two teams of four dogs (and 1-2 alternates) each, racing side-by-side over a 51 foot long course. The races begins on the judge's signal as the first dog crosses the start line, clears four hurdles (8" - 16" high) spaced ten feet apart, and steps on a spring-loaded box triggering the release of a tennis ball. The dog must retrieve the ball and run back over the four hurdles. Once the dog crosses the start line, the next dog is sent to run the same pattern until all four dogs have run. Since this is a team sport, not only does your dog have to fast and accurate, but so do the rest of the dogs on your team. It isn't all up to the dogs either, since the handlers need to time the release of their dog to coincide with the return of the previous dog. Early passes, dropped balls, and missed jumps are errors which are penalized by a rerun of the dog which costs the team time and usually the race. It isn't always the fastest team who wins, but often the most accurate team takes home the ribbons or trophies."
So that's the technicalities of flyball. All I know is that I love it and can't get enough of it. Mom brings me to practice every Sunday night and we go to several tournaments throughout the year. I would like to go to more but Mom can't afford it. Not only does she have to pay my entry fee but she also has to pay for transportation and the hotel room for me to stay in! So we go to the ones we can and I run my heart out.
All for now.

These are excellent quality bags, with multiple uses aside from sandwiches. They are strong and durable, and don't rip like cheaper bags. Well made, and priced affordable.
I certainly but other brand names of sandwich bags when these aren't on sale because they are quite expensive full price especially compared to other brands however, when they are on sale I tend to stock up because they are the best quality ( durable, size etc.)
I easily go through a box of these a month, if not more. They are the perfect size for lunch items, and I have never had an issue with them tearing or ripping. They close easily and stay closed. For some reason, they are usually on sale in my local grocery store even cheaper then the less-quality store brand - BONUS! I have also recently discovered that my teenage boys have been "relocating" them by the box to the shed, as they are tough enough and the right size to hold engine bolts/nuts/etc... when they are working on projects, so they are now a form of organization for the boys, as well.
These are always in my pantry, could not go by without them. Great for sandwichs, crackers, cheese and basically anything. I like to keep them in stock at home
buy these when on sale and stock up! i use coupons too when i have them.. they are not very expensive to begin with but more than other brands... they seal up great .. you can float them in water and everything inside stays dry .. great for sooo many things...i use them all the time
These are great for lunches and so much more. Great in your suitcase when travelling for items you don't want to leak over your items. Left overs when it's just a small amount is great! Great at the beach to bring home your seashells like I did last year. Handy to have in the cupboard just in case you need one. A great zipper on these not like the no brand bags from the dollar store. Sometimes it's better to pay the price!

... s Big Band show was lead by an 80 year old singer Lynn Roberts who could belt out a tune - she was amazing - in voice and looks. After the show I had to have a close inspection and tried to find some needle or stretch marks behind the ears. I think the band and Lynn were singing for the deaf, but overall I think it was one of the better shows - only I still can't get over Lynn's age.

Hah… see what I did there with the headline? That's a much fun as we're going to have here, people, as the DeMarcus Cousins saga continues its swirl down the toilet in Sacramento. I know a lot of you are openly lobbying for Cousins to join the C's. And on pure talent alone, he could be a massive help. But the guy you see in the video is comes with all that talent, and that's just too much for me. I'm not beyond adding a malcontent in hopes of Kevin Garnett helping them out. But Boogie has been a problem for coaches from high school to multiple incidents with the Kings. Too much of a problem for my tastes. The guy in this video? I don't want him. As much as I'm drawn to the 20-10 talent… I just don't like what he could do to the locker room. It's like taking steroids with a shared needle. The results could be great… but you're taking one f'ing hell of a chance with your overall health. I'm not willing to take that risk.

Body Disposal Patterns of Sexual Murderers: Implications for Offender Profiling

Offender profiling postulates that crime scene behavior should predict certain offender characteristics. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between offender characteristics, situational factors, and body disposal patterns. Sequential logistic regression analysis on a sample of 85 sexual murderers shows that those who were in a relationship at the time of the crime and who present organized psychological characteristics are more likely to move the victim's body after the homicide. However, when the victim is older and a conflict with the offender occurred prior to the crime, the body is more likely to be left at the crime scene. Implications for offender profiling are discussed in light of the results.

Chapter XXVII: To Safety and Beyond (11/14)Mature
The day had been a wonderful success, the leaving ceremony for the sixth form taking place, and the dining hall full of Draíochta lording their success over the other academies trying to eat. Carmen, Karn'el and Will headed back to the commonroom together, but he could sense that something had been bothering them for a few days. The auditions had been a chance to hopefully cheer them up, and though they had been distracted by the gaiety of the event, they now became solemn and distracted again.
They climbed up onto the rooftop that Tayna had given everybody access to, the ladder now metal and permanently placed in the Attic for anybody to use. It didn't seem to bother her now that they would be moving commonrooms in third form. 'Will,' Carmen said meekly as he turned to look at the spectacular view. He turned to listen. 'There's something we need to talk to you about.' He nodded for them to go on, already imagining the horrible things they were going to say.
'Carmen and I have been talking a lot,' said Karn'el, coming to his sister's side, 'and we've decided something, but we don't know how to tell you.'
'What is it?' he asked apprehensively,
Carmen took a brave breath and said, 'we're leaving the Sanctuary.'
Of all that he imagined, Will hadn't expected that. The first thing that came out from his mouth was not a word, but a laugh, filled with disbelief. 'What? You're not serious, are you?' he said, unconcerned by his mocking tone.
'We've tried, Will,' she said, 'we've really tried to go back to normal. But no matter how many lessons we go through, no matter how much we do what we did before we were taken, we can't forget what we heard. It changed us, and we can't go back.' Will rolled his eyes, this isn't happening. 'We heard what the soldiers were saying,' she continued, pleading for his understanding, 'they talked about what they were planning to do to the humans, it was sickening. We have to do something.'
'Don't you think we want to?' he snapped, 'I heard it too, and Paradam knows, he has contacts who can help, I even heard that more and more of the sixth formers have joined the public forces to help -,'
'But we need to do something,' said Karn'el, 'we can't just sit around and expect others to do it for us.' He turned to Carmen, who nodded for him to go on. 'We spoke to Principal Paradam about this, he wanted us to stay, of course, but in the end he - he arranged for us to go with friends.'
'They're freedom fighters, Will,' Carmen said, her face lightening with excitement, 'not just magi, humans and magi working together to fight against hatred. Don't you see? If it works in small groups, then it could work overall -,'
'So you're leaving to become martyrs?' he asked angrily. He couldn't believe that Paradam had agreed, why didn't he stop them? 'Are you both insane? You could be killed, we barely escaped with our lives and now you want to go charging back into danger?'
'We want you to support us.' Carmen looked upset that he hadn't hugged them and patted them on the back. 'We're doing this for the greater good, we'll be safe with them, we can help people. Please, we don't want to spend our last day fighting -,'
'Whoa, wait, last day?' Will exclaimed, 'you're leaving tomorrow? What about the holiday with Andrel and Arlamus? We were all going together. No, what about family? I thought you wanted us to stay together and now you're just leaving me?'
'We wish we could invite you to come too. But you don't belong with us. If we're going to become viceroys, representatives for the royal name, then we should be out there, spreading the word to magi that the royal family is back and ready to fight. Your place ishere, working to become a prince, and when you're ready, we'll join you, but until then...'
'You're insane,' Will said curtly, 'you're going to get yourself killed! And then you're going to be gone and I'll - I'll be alone all over again!' Carmen gasped, looking shocked. Will pushed past her, heading down the ladder. 'You're just as bad as Mum and Dad!' With that, he left, storming out of the commonroom full of emotions, immediately guilty for what he'd said, but too furious and upset to do anything about it.

"….As chair the key aspect is to put the right industry thought and topic leaders together so that we can develop strategies for effective integration of the business and technology, and to help the attendees grow in their understanding of the industry and to drive organizations forward…."
In your role as chair what are your five top challenges?
"….Being inspiring….Being innovative….Getting the right speakers….Getting on people's calendars….Delivering a platform and an opportunity for attendees to think about how to be innovative…."
How did the ISACA World Congress evolve?
"….ISACA has been in existence for 41 years and for many years we've had an international conference, a gathering of membership from all over the globe. We decided to evolve the international conference into an event that would be designed for both business and IT (where the technology meets IT) and to go outside the normal realm of risk assurance and security professionals and to help them elevate their craft and vocation to the next level…."
What are the themes for Insights 2012?
"….The future starts today….Keeping an eye on tomorrow….The risks of failing to innovate….Creating a culture of intentional innovation….Information as a business integrator….Solving crime and threats that are coming….Emerging regulations….COBIT lounge…."
Can you quickly profile COBIT and the value?
"….As it has evolved through its framework COBIT is now a business framework for enterprise governance of IT. We hope it will provide a framework for an organization to start with so that they can take their business goals and objectives and drive them into their IT goals and objectives, and ensure that their IT delivery is constantly meeting the business requirements from a process and a legal perspective, regulation, and what the organization requires from a culture perspective…."
How much overlap do you see then between COBIT and Enterprise Architecture?
"….COBIT actually aligns very well with Enterprise Architecture. One of the things that we've identified in COBIT is that Enterprise Architecture is a fundamental aspect of delivery of effective business enablement leveraging technology…."
There's a new kid on the block from the Innovation Value Institute (IVI) — the Capability Maturity Framework (CMF); is there any integration or some kind of synchronicity with IVI and the CMF?
"….With COBIT 5 we've moved to and adopted the ISO standard for process assessment models. What we've done is align each COBIT process with the ISO model so we have an assessable implementation of COBIT going forward….We are very synchronized and you will be able to align it quite well with those various frameworks that look at capabilities and maturity, and it won't really matter where those models come from…."
We've just had a series of questions and answers in terms of COBIT and that itself adds a lot of a value that's being delivered at Insight 2012. Let's broaden that: if you were to segment the attendees by their profiles and job roles, who should attend and what additional value will they receive by profiles and job roles?
"….Security professionals. Security is a hot topic at the moment and you would notice that topics like privacy and protection of information and leveraging effective use of our information are key and hot topics….Assurance professionals. We will be hosting a panel among a number of sessions where we will be talking about assurance topics and various aspects there….Risk professionals. They are going to have an opportunity to attend a number of sessions to discuss risk, risk profiles, mitigation or risk acceptance or how to leverage that….We do expect and we did last year have a sprinkling of C-level executives who are non-IT attend and we are going to show them a lot of the future. Mobility is absolutely exploding globally and attendees will have a great opportunity to discuss this with industry experts and leaders. Another area is operational practice and certain techniques as well….One of the key differentiators of this event is this ability to actually interact with the industry expert rather than be lectured at…."
What five measures will demonstrate success at INSIGHTS 2012?
"….That attendees gain valuable insight at the event…..Repeat attendance….That the attendance is high and at the right number. We are looking to target an appropriate number of industry leaders to come and meet us there….That people will be entertained….That people will walk away with key knowledge that they can take and use…."
What about the future for the World Congress?
"….One of the key things about the World Congress is that we get people from all over the world and different cultures blend together to give a different perspective of how technology is being used….The event is going to continue to move globally. The other future of Insights is that you are going to see more introduction of technology within sessions and more technology interaction going forward, but we don't want to forget that the audience will have direct access to the industry leaders who are available and that interaction is a key aspect…."
How will you measure success on ISACA's Strategic Advisory Council?
"….ISACA's Strategic Advisory Council provides insight, knowledge and research back to the board of directors to assist the board in making strategic decisions for ISACA moving forward….Hopefully we give good input and the outcome of that is successful industry standards, best practices and frameworks that the membership can ultimately use and are very effective. I think it's hard to put a series of measures on it but it's clearly about contributing and giving back to the industry, and one of the things I enjoy about ISACA in general is this opportunity to give back…."
In your past role of International Vice President of ISACA, what surprised you?
"….The interest in things like industry frameworks and standards….That we've seen governance grow as a practice and an area of interest….That at many organizations where I speak which are using the ISACA framework, but they are not aware of it….As I visit ISACA chapters, the acceptance and comradeship – I felt like I was part of a family wherever I travelled…."
Robert describes some of his roles with itSMF and some outcomes from serving in those roles.
"….These industry bodies allow us to give back to the industry so we can drive value to the organization, industry and to the profession…."
Can you detail your prior industry executive roles and some shareable lessons you learned from each role that the audience will find valuable?
"….One of the roles I had in the industry was being involved in security for some time. A key lesson I learned which has continued on is that effective education is a key, and you need to embrace technology that moves forward and not be scared of it, and then educate….An interesting role that I've had is in strategy and innovation. A key aspect is to really understand the business, the business need and the business opportunity for those areas where we can truly grow business opportunities….To be a good industry professional we really need to get back to basic relationships with the business….The other thing I've learned in my career – operations, security, innovation – you've really got to be prepared to change. You've got to be prepared to innovate, re-educate, re-learn, adjust your skillset…."
What are the top resources that you use?
"….The social networking environment….Tools like Bing or Google….Establishing a serious hypothesis and then running a path to a select group of individuals in the industry….Going to an event like Insight and taking the opportunity to actually converse with my peers….Reading blogs, websites, Harvard Business Review….Nothing beats sitting down at a roundtable of industry experts and luminaries…."
What are some disruptive technologies that you see on the horizon and how will they have impact?
"….This whole concept of mobility is so disruptive to the status quo of IT and we really haven't pushed the boundaries of it at all yet….The consumerization of IT….In the last year we've been talking about cloud computing as disruptive technology. Personally cloud computing for me is just another form of capability delivery….Another area of disruption is legislation and regulation. We've seen that recently in the discussion about privacy where you might have an app on your device and what information is being shared….Another disruptive technology is where embedded technology starts to communicate – more intelligence and more interconnected….These types of capabilities are going to change the way we act which will result in cultural changes…."
What specific challenges and opportunities should IT practitioners and businesses embrace today and in the future?
"….The key aspect is what does your organization structure look like so you are delivering the maximum value and that goes back to culture – organizational culture and organizational change….In the adoption of change we're going to be moving more to incremental change that happens more rapidly, it's smaller and easier to be consumed. We have to deliver capability in line with the human psyche and the human capability to learn….Another concept we're going to be seeing going forward is this concept of crowd-sourcing innovation…."
What innovations should we be watching for in the next five years?
"….Concerns about privacy….The ability for us to communicate in a language of choice and the person who is receiving the voice, text, email will actually read the data in their own language….Regulations….Devices that we use more eco-friendly…."
In all the areas in which you work are there two areas that you consider highly controversial?
"….The battle of do we give the business control to determine their own applications usage and systems or not….Consumer devices being brought in by IT….Another area of controversy right now is a cultural one of how do we deal with this new workforce that is coming about? I have a Y-Generation son and he will work just as hard as I but his work practices are different…."
What are your thoughts on computing as a recognized profession with demonstrated professional development, adherence to a code of ethics, and recognized non-licensing based credentials?
[See http://www.ipthree.org and the Global Industry Council, http://www.ipthree.org/about-ip3/global-advisory-council]
"….As a whole we need to ensure that the IT professionals have the appropriate skillset, have the appropriate certification, and more importantly have the appropriate knowledge, and that gets back to the issue that employers need to understand that in order to get the maximum value out of their employees, they need to ensure that their employees' skillsets are maintained and they are given the opportunity to do ongoing education and learning…."
Please share your deep insights – a candid discussion on emerging technologies and that is CIO versus CTO. Areas to consider would be: technology to grow revenue versus technology to increase efficiencies, the impact of business driving the technology decisions, technology perspectives from the customer's point of view, are CIOs becoming the Chief Innovation Officers. What are your thoughts on that?
"….I think we are going to be seeing clear definition or delineation between the CIO and CTO roles. Chief Technology Officer I believe is somebody who understands technology issues, but at the same time is going to have a skillset that is linked to understanding business needs and drivers, and effectively can mesh the business needs and drivers with technology capabilities available in the industry and then can give advice and direct how to execute on that….Chief Innovation Officer is looking to drive value back to the business. To look for innovative solutions and partner with the business in driving innovation….I think that going forward we will see both exist…."
This question is about governance and board insights and some of the discussions that could occur between board members. For example, what would be the Board's top concerns as it relates to the integration of technology and business, who do Board members rely on within the organization, what's the issue about deploying an IT governance program, innovation and its impact on the organization's future success, and preparing the work force for the future. What are your thoughts on board-level discussion on some of these issues?
"….You've got to separate governance from management. Management is about execution of the tasks that are being directed, continuation of control, to ensure effectiveness and efficiency of the systems that deliver capability….Governance is really about evaluating, directing and monitoring….The reality of it is as we move forward, I believe that boards are going to become more interested, and I think the boards are more looking for briefing from people like the Chief Innovation Officers and CTO's on technology capabilities, and become more conversant with opportunities that are out there for them to take advantage of…."

Made-for-TV pop act Girls Aloud continued to dominate the charts this week while their rival boy band dropped to number five.
The all-girl quintet, formed by the ITV1 show Popstars: The Rivals, are celebrating their third week at the top after landing the coveted Christmas number one spot just a month after being formed.
Despite accusations that they did not sing on their track, Sound of the Underground, Girls Aloud - Nicola Roberts, 17, Nadine Coyle, 17, Kimberly Walsh, 21, Sarah Harding, 21, and Cheryl Tweedy, 21 - scored an expected hit.
The boy band One True Voice with Sacred Trust continued their fall sinking to number five, while The Cheeky Girls' Cheeky Song (Touch My Bum) single clung to the number two spot for the second week.
The Transylvanian sisters were laughed out of Popstars: The Rivals when they attended the auditions for the show but landed a deal with Multiply Records.
Sir Elton John and Blue were pushed into sixth spot falling two places with Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word, while Eminem with Lose Yourself rose to third place.
Daniel Bedingfield also climbed two places to number four with If You're Not The One.
There was more movement in the album charts this week as Robbie Williams' Escapology was knocked off the top spot by Avril Lavigne's album Let Go.

The Canon PIXMA MA455 is an inkjet scanner-printer that's aggressively priced. It fits in a solid array of features too, including Wi-Fi, full duplex and the option of connecting to smartphones through an app.
A quick glance at Canon's PIXMA MX455 won't immediately distinguish it from any of the other machines in the company's range of SOHO all-in-ones. It has the same, big, black box appearance, with its Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) set into the chamfered top of its scanner lid.
When you look a bit more closely, though, you start to see the differences, such as the Canon PIXMA MX455's small, mono display with its two line by 16 character LCD and the Fast Front system of paper trays, which gives it a big footprint when open.
We can't really see why these trays are particularly fast as, before you start printing, you have to fold down the front cover, swivel out an extension and flip up a paper stop on the feed tray, before folding down an interior tray and pulling out another extension on the output one.
There are no memory card slots on the Canon PIXMA MX455 and just a single front-panel USB socket, through which you can download scans, but not upload files for printing. This seems like a wasted opportunity.
The control panel is well laid out with four mode buttons for copy, fax, scan and settings, a number pad for fax dialling and buttons for black and colour scan and copy jobs.
The Canon PIXMA MX445 can be connected via USB, but most people will probably go for its wireless capabilities, where it can be connected to a suitably equipped wireless router with a couple of button presses, calling in WPS setup.
Using Canon's Android or iOS apps, you can then print from most phones and tablets, direct to the printer, as well as from any networked PC or Mac. Canon provides its Image Garden and Easy Web Print applications too.
canon mx455 worse printer i've ever owned - should have returned it straight away. delayed printing or multiple printing. on one occasion duplicated a 30 page document over 10 times and only stopped when I realised - could have continued printing. photo quality not good. printing cartridges not cost effective as they expensive and run out so quickly, lines on page, tried all sorts of checks and head cleans - nothing works. tried genuine ink didn't work. so disappointed
I would like to know why they put the driver software for the MX450 in the box? I can no longer just print my docs I have to use the daft my image garden which is totally useless.. Argos may have a returned printer tomorrow as this is just no good working like this.. my pc keeps telling me my printer is offline yes the MX450 IS offline as it's not the printer I am using argghhhhh Cannon I used to think highly of your products.. this is disgusting
Totally agree with jemma, the Canon MX455 is the worse printer I have
ever owned, an absolute pile of crap. Had it three months and it is
finished. It has lost the ability to pick up paper (how difficult is
that feature to maintain?), and it has to be fed paper one sheet at a
time. Even then, it screws up every third sheet.
Tomorrow it goes into the garden to be smashed up with a hammer. And it is absolutely the last Canon item I will buy. Ever.

Meeting of SurvivorsMature
Jamie stood back up from the impact of hitting the hard ground. This armor of his might have felt light, but it was still heavy enough to cause him to slide down a
cable faster than he would have wanted. He looked up and found the person he
saved standing in front of him holding a strange looking animal with abnormally
large claws. Jamie immediately drew his M1911 and trained it on the creature's
head. "What is that thing, and who are you?"
"My name is Matt. And this little guy is a baby deathclaw. Don't worry, I'm sure he's harmless." The man said, petting the so-called deathclaw's head. "And you are?"
Jamie lowered his weapon and removed his helmet. A hissing noise sounded as the suit depressurized. "I am PFC Jamie Matson of the New York City Valkyrie Guards." He holstered the sidearm and held out his hand. "Well then, Matt, it's nice to meet you. It seems as if you will be needing a place to stay. You may stay with
me if you would like." Matt hesitated for a second before nodding. Jamie turned
and began walking. "It's a long walk from here, so I hope you can keep up."
"Welcome to Specialty Vault 162. Home of the Valkyrie Guards." Jamie said. "Before you get comfortable, I need your help with something."
"And that would be…what, exactly?" Matt asked
"Something went wrong with the radiation filters that were supposed to clear out any radiation that happened to get past the shielding. I have the parts, but after
what happened when I woke up today, I don't feel like going down to the
maintenance sub-level alone to fix the problem." Jamie went on to show Matt the
stasis tubes while continuing to explain problems from a simple rad filter to
the fact that the vault needed a new door after he'd blown it open to get out.
The two went into the armory and Jamie switched out his weapons for a semi-auto combat shotgun before handing one to Matt. But just as a precaution, he went and retrieved a radiation suit for him from the armor hold before leading him down
into the sub levels. The baby deathclaw followed behind them. There wasn't much
trouble at first, the place seemed just as clean as the day the bombs dropped.
But then the pair heard gurgling sounds and found a trio of those strange
zombie things. But with a few rounds of buckshot later, there were no more of
them "living" if they really could be called living. The zombie things had uniforms with name patches on them. Jamie read them: O'Brian, Calison, and Johns. Jamie sighed.
"What's wrong?" Matt asked.
"I knew these guys." Jamie replied. for the up to the day the bombs dropped, they were too sick to do their job at controlling the riots. We thought that they had
come down with New Plague. They must've gotten up to walk around and ended up
in here when they turned into whatever they are now."
"They're called ghouls." Matt said. Think of them as radiation-powered zombies. The ones you really need to watch out for are the Glowing Ones and the Reavers. The glowing ones, as their name suggests, glow; and the Reavers are damn near harder to kill than a full-grown deathclaw king. Both give off radiation in
measurable levels."
Jamie sighed. "We should do something with these bodies sometime after fixing the rad filters." Matt nodded. On their way, Jamie decided to ask his new friend things. "So what did you do before the Great War?"
Matt looked offended. "How old do you think I am!?"
"Maybe 35 years older than me." Jamie replied. "It's 2111 So, you're aging pretty good, because you look like you're in your twenties."
"No, it's October 16, 2177. It's almost a week before the one hundredth anniversary of the war." Matt said.
"Oh, well, let me update my Pip Boy then." He did so and started to laugh. "This thing is telling me to retire. Anyway, here's the radiation filtration system." Jamie kneeled down to the panel and removed it. He reached into the new hole and retrieved a cable, which he then stuck into his Pip Boy. A holographic panel appeared and information of the filtration system quickly began to scroll across the screen. Jamie frowned. "There's two problems with the system. One is the filters themselves, which I can fix right now. The other is the vault's power supply; it is almost depleted due to a damaged power coupling. Would your previous home have one we can scavenge?
"No. The Enclave destroyed the vault." Matt replied.
"Alrighty then." Jamie said with a huff as he stood back up. He started to think. "I bet that weird helicopter of theirs has some sort of power coupling. If we can get our hands on that, I'm sure I can jury rig it to work. We should go get it and then I'll fix both problems when we return. It won't do much good to replace the filters if the
system doesn't have any power. But before we go, we should get you fitted into
something a bit more protective."
The two made their way back up and into the armor hold. There, he fitted him into a set of reinforced leather armor. In the "normal" section of the armory, Matt grabbed an assault rifle and a few spare magazines for his 10mm pistol. Jamie went into the advanced section and grabbed his anti material rifle before returning to the normal section and grabbing his M1 Garand and M1911. "Well, we should get a move on."

What is the Best Anti Cellulite Treatment?
posted on
Many women who are struggling with cellulite look for an anti cellulite treatment solution that offers long-term results. The good news is, there are some treatments available that can reduce the appearance of cellulite and improve the skin tone. The bad news is that once cellulite has formed, it is almost impossible to get rid of it complete. Some cosmetic surgeons recommend Endermologie for cellulite while others recommend a mirco-liposculpture procedure that can help get rid of those fat cells for good.
If you are looking for the best anti cellulite treatment, set up a consultation with a cosmetic surgeon in your area. Your cosmetic surgeon can perform a complete body and skin consultation, and determine whether you are a good candidate for either a non-invasive cellulite reduction program or liposuction.
Endermologie as an Anti Cellulite Treatment
Many plastic and cosmetic surgeons agree that Endermologie is among the best anti cellulite treatment options available. Dr. Armando Soto, MD, an Orlando plastic surgeon states that Endermologie treatments incorporated with diet, exercise and drinking water will help to fight cellulite and promote the release of fat cells.
Dr. Edmond A. Zingaro, MD, a San Francisco Plastic Surgeon also recommends a series of Endermologie treatments in order to get rid of cellulite. He points out that this is not a painful treatment and consistently provides "excellent results". Most people need about 14 treatments once per week in order to see significant changes in the body.
Dr. David Hansen, MD, a Beverly Hills dermatologic surgeon, also recommends Endermologie for the temporary reductionof cellulite. However, he states that the best way to get rid of cellulite for good is with a microcanula liposculpture procedure. In this procedure, the fibrous bands that are pushing fat cells out into the skin are broken down completely so cellulite disappears for good.
Liposculpture as an Anti Cellulite Treatment
Liposculpture is not recommended for everyone but those who are have very stubborn patches of cellulite that have become resistant to diet, exercise and lipomassage may get better results with the microcanula liposculpture procedure. This procedure will get rid of fat cells that are causing cellulite permanently and the patient can undergo a body shaping treatment to achieve and maintain a sculpted and contoured appearance.
(Source: RealSelf.com)
Dietary Changes as an Anti Cellulite Treatment
Eating certain foods and taking certain types of supplements can help to reduce the appearance of cellulite or prevent it from form in the first place. Maintaining a healthy body weight can help to prevent fluid retention and skin problems that can cause cellulite. Some recommended supplements to reduce the appearance of cellulite include Vitamin C, magnesium, gamma linoleic acid and potassium. Read more about the recommended foods and supplements for reducing cellulite.
Getting rid of cellulite can be challenging but there are a few anti cellulite treatments that can help you achieve your goals. Talk to a cosmetic surgeon in your area to find out which of these anti cellulite treatment plans will be the best match for you.


text: Michael B. Smith, "Organic Chemistry: An Acid-Base Approach" English | ISBN: 1420079204 | 2011 | 1500 pages | PDF | 24 MB Based on the premise that many, if not most, reactions in organic chemistry can be explained by variations of fundamental acid-base concepts, provides a framework for understanding the subject that goes beyond mere memorization. The individual steps in many important mechanisms rely on acid-base reactions, and the ability to see these relationships makes understanding organic chemistry easier. Using several techniques to develop a relational understanding, this textbook helps students fully grasp the essential concepts at the root of organic chemistry. Providing a practical learning experience with numerous opportunities for self-testing, the book contains: Checklists of what students need to know before they begin to study a topic Checklists of concepts to be fully understood before moving to the next subject area Homework problems directly tied to each concept at the end of each chapter Embedded problems with answers throughout the material Experimental details and mechanisms for key reactions The reactions and mechanisms contained in the book describe the most fundamental concepts that are used in industry, biological chemistry and biochemistry, molecular biology, and pharmacy. The concepts presented constitute the fundamental basis of life processes, making them critical to the study of medicine. Reflecting this emphasis, most chapters end with a brief section that describes biological applications for each concept. This text provides students with the skills to proceed to the next level of study, offering a fundamental understanding of acids and bases applied to organic transformations and organic molecules.

My understanding is that they used to have HK USP 45's but were not happy about the customer support issue and S&W stepped in with their M&P with a promise of better service and WSP went for it.

I just took a couple trips out to the islands the other day and noticed that every single WA State Patrol working on the ferry routes all had S&W M&P's. I was curious if anyone knows if S&W won a contract for these guys. It was cool to see these guys do their jobs on high alert with sea fair going on and all the USN ships in the Puget Sound. Those dogs were working over time with all the cars that were going on the boats and how many they had to sniff a long the way!
Ccccccc what? Ccccccccccc Hawks!
My understanding is that they used to have HK USP 45's but were not happy about the customer support issue and S&W stepped in with their M&P with a promise of better service and WSP went for it.
HK - Because you suck and we hate you.
What does everyone have against HK? besides CS?
Glock 19
Kahr PM9
Mossberg 590
Shodan, Jujutsu
For those that don't know, Google search HK "You suck and we hate you".
Proven combat techniques may not be flashy and may require a bit more physical effort on the part of the shooter. Further, they may not win competition matches, but they will help ensure your survival in a shooting or gunfight on the street. ~Paul Howe
Ccccccc what? Ccccccccccc Hawks!
Sounds awesome. I've never been a fan of the USP, and prefer the M&P Compacts over any Glock.
I was told that our State Patrol carried USP .40s in both full size and Compact versions.
Going to M&Ps shows them to be a progressive minded force.
9 Compact.
I have owned 3 H&K full size and compact, the problem being I have short fat fingers and could never get a comfortable on them. To echo a previous post their CS is worse than PARA, send a firearm to them in the summer see it again for a Christmas present. I just purchased a M&P in 45 what a great fire arm, excellent trigger, soft recoil, a back-strap for every size hand, and most important very accurate. I have carried a Walther P99 for a long time, was a favorite gun, it has taken the backseat to the M&P. If my pants would hold the weight I would carry my S&W 645, 25 years old and one of the best handguns I have ever owned.
Ccccccc what? Ccccccccccc Hawks!
I've got nothing agains them - in fact you can tell from my username I like HK, I have a USP compact and love it! It always goes bang and I've never had a single hiccup with it, I wish it was a little thinner/lighter at times but it still carries well. The LEM trigger is an excellent trigger if you learn how to use it. I can agree with many people though that HK could bring their pricing in line with others a little more though - and I really love the USP Series, and I can't see why they can't redesign the USP series with a standard rail, other than going with the HK45 or P2000 and P30 series. Do a V2 USP series with a picatinny and NOBODY would complain about loosing the stupid proprietary rail. That being said I"m very impressed with the M&P - I"ve fondled a few and would really like to get one or two in the future, I really like both the compact and fullsize models - my only gripe about the M&P series is that I wish they had a little more positive reset in the trigger, just a little more "snap" or tactile feel that it has reset - otherwise a dang near perfect gun, I think I"m going to get at least 1 1911 first, maybe two though... thats the bummer when your wish list is bigger than your budget! Oh well - things to look forward to I guess - and I guess I could just not eat...
