Reinhardt Quelle, Operations Architect, Cisco WebEx
To support new applications and services more effectively, Cisco WebEx is embracing cloud computing and a more agile development process.
Since its founding in 1996, WebEx Communications Inc. has helped to pioneer on-demand applications delivered over the Internet with its Software as a Service (SaaS) products. In March 2007, WebEx was acquired by Cisco Systems and today offers a expanded portfolio of on-demand people centric collaboration applications that include web conferencing, instant messaging, enterprise social software, and hosted telepresence solutions. These services provide a rich set of cloud collaborative applications to enhance productivity, accelerate innovation and improve decision making for organizations of any size.
"WebEx is a business-critical service and we never turn it off. At 3:00 a.m. on a Saturday morning, our customers can start a WebEx meeting. There is never any downtime scheduled for WebEx," says Reinhardt Quelle, WebEx operations architect at Cisco.
To support the delivery of its applications and services, the WebEx infrastructure had become fragmented over the past 16 years, which made it necessary to support different practices and procedures to provision, configure, deploy, and maintain many different types of systems. In an effort to streamline both its operations and its infrastructure, Cisco has incrementally built a cloud platform for WebEx that would provide the agility, resiliency, and operational efficiencies needed to effectively provide the services customers will demand in the years ahead. And, in addition to putting an agile infrastructure in place, Cisco wanted to create a more agile development and operations team for WebEx.
"While we don't use the title 'DevOps' for what we're doing, it does accurately describe how we are tightly integrating the collaboration between our engineering and operations teams to reengineer the way we deploy and manage our infrastructure," Quelle says.
To build that cloud architecture, Quelle and his team knew the platform had to be open as well as API-driven. They needed all of the characteristics of an on-demand, infrastructure-as-a-service platform, so in late 2011 they began to consider all of the available leading cloud platforms with an especially close eye toward a platform that also would be agile, resilient, and highly available.
Initially, the cloud is intended to be a platform for new applications and services. The cloud architecture they chose also would have to be well suited for multi-datacenter, private cloud environments. "Running in the public cloud was never really an option for us. If one of our customers is ever having a problem with a meeting, we have to own that problem from end to end. We can't blame it on a public cloud provider," says Quelle.
Additionally, the WebEx services utilize IT services that are highly specialized for the complex delivery of voice, video, screen sharing, and collaboration that don't lend themselves easily to a public cloud environment. "We run in close to 20 locations around the world with multiple interconnects. They simply wouldn't function on a public cloud," he says.
A strong commercial ecosystem was also an important criterion for Quelle. "A large community means good, healthy competition with lots of support options. I didn't want to be tied to one vendor with licensing fees."
Because a central aspect of the WebEx cloud initiative was also was to put into place an agile development and operations environment, the quality of tools available to support the cloud was crucial. "Before we decided on the main platform, we also took a close look at what deployment automation tools and experts were available and capable of supporting the cloud," Quelle explains.
After careful consideration, the cloud platform that Cisco selected for WebEx was OpenStack. OpenStack is the fastest growing open cloud community, building software to power public and private clouds for a growing number of organizations like CERN, eBay, HP, Intel, MercadoLibre and Rackspace. The software controls and automates pools of compute, storage and networking resources to turn standard hardware into a powerful cloud computing environment.
"As we examined the various initiatives we'd have underway in our cloud, which would include the intermingling of physical and virtual loads as well as complex network configurations, we knew that the flexibility inherent in OpenStack would prove powerful enough to support our objectives," Quelle says. "With OpenStack we have the ability to customize the platform and maintain significant control over our destiny."
To ensure that the project would be completed on time and within budget, the WebEx team turned to Mountain View, California-based engineering services company Mirantis, one of the world's largest specialized OpenStack cloud systems integrators. Mirantis provided a team of engineers and architects who brought the OpenStack and cloud domain skills that would help the WebEx team plan and execute successfully.
The WebEx team deployed the OpenStack Essex release, while also selecting a handful of Folsom release components already appearing in trunk. Currently, the WebEx team has deployed OpenStack in two data centers with the objective to support an upcoming, yet unannounced new WebEx service. Mirantis and the WebEx team designed and deployed the OpenStack cloud to be highly available, including a highly-available pair of controller nodes fronted by a highly available proxy load balancer.
To help create an infrastructure that would support Quelle's goal of continuous deployment, Mirantis designed and deployed a set of Puppet toolsets to make possible the automated provisioning of OpenStack compute and storage services. The automation tools take into account the context of the WebEx environment, including a specific operating system, host configuration, network, and storage, as well as keeping monitoring and logging capabilities in place.
An aspect of the OpenStack platform that Quelle especially appreciates is its flexibility, including the ability to create custom schedulers. For example, to meet Cisco's requirements Mirantis extended the Nova scheduler to optimize the placement of persistent disk volumes to ensure diversity for fault tolerance while enabling compute instances to be located on the same host for maximum performance.
By all measures, the OpenStack cloud implementation has been a success. Today, there are numerous other product teams within Cisco that have witnessed the results and are interested in moving their groups to the OpenStack cloud.
"They're seeing how we complete multiple releases a day within an agile infrastructure, and they want the same capabilities and results," explains Quelle. "The biggest challenge for me now is trying to keep my finger in the dike to make sure that the platform is ready to support the large number of users who want to come aboard and use the cloud. We are very excited to have achieved this. The speed at which this new product team was able to get its product deployed and running on OpenStack was faster than we've ever been able to achieve previously. And we've been able to deploy this cloud just as if it were a public cloud, but with all of the controls and benefits of a private cloud," he says.

Ninth-Inning Rally Sinks Sounds In Road Trip Opener
Nashville Losing Streak Reaches Season-High Five Games
By Nashville Sounds | June 18, 2014 1:36 AM ET
LAS VEGAS, Nev. - The Las Vegas 51s plated a pair of runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to hang an 8-7 loss on the Nashville Sounds on Tuesday evening at Cashman Field in the opener of a four-game series.
The Las Vegas rally, which came against Sounds closer Donovan Hand, occurred after Hunter Morris had belted a go-ahead homer in the top of the ninth to stake the Sounds to a 7-6 advantage, the club's first lead in five games.
The heartbreaking defeat extended Nashville's losing streak to a season-high five games.
Las Vegas grabbed a 4-0 first-inning lead by belting a pair of home runs off Sounds starter Michael Blazek. Second baseman Daniel Muno put the home team on the board with a one-out solo homer, the infielder's eighth of the year, before Brandon Allen added a two-out, three-run shot to right.
The 51s tacked on another run in the second by taking advantage of a fielding error by Nashville second baseman Irving Falu. Muno singled home pitcher Joel Carreno, who had reached on the gaff.
Nashville jumped on the scoreboard in the fifth to snap a 13 2/3-inning scoreless stretch for the club. Robinzon Diaz (3-for-4) singled with one out against Carreno and raced home to score on Logan Schafer's two-out triple to center. Jeff Bianchi later added a two-run homer to left, his third of the year.
Las Vegas extended its lead to 6-3 in the home half of the fifth when Cory Vaughn delivered a two-out RBI single up the middle off Sounds reliever Brent Leach to bring home Allan Dyskstra, who was plunked to open the frame.
Carreno worked a quality start for the 51s, holding the Sounds to three runs while striking out eight batters over his six innings of action, but took a no-decision for his efforts.
After leaving a pair of runners in scoring position during a scoreless seventh, the Sounds broke through to tie the game with a three-run eighth inning against Ryan Reid.
Sean Halton led off with a single, moved to third on a Caleb Gindl single, and scored from third on a passed ball. After pinch-hitter Jeremy Hermida drew a walk and Hector Gomez moved the runners into scoring position with a groundout, Diaz leveled the contest at 6-6 with a two-run single up the middle that chased Reid from the contest.
Morris led off the ninth with his team-leading ninth home run of the year, a blast to right off Las Vegas reliever Buddy Carlyle.
The 51s didn't go down without a fight against Hand in the bottom of the ninth, however, rallying to hand Nashville its sixth last at-bat defeat of the year.
Kirk Nieuwenhuis led off with a single and was sacrificed to second. Travis d'Arnaud followed with a comebacker to Hand and the hurler had Nieuwenhuis caught in a rundown between second and third, but he delivered the ball late to second and both runners were safe on the fielder's choice. Cesar Puello followed with a game-tying RBI double and, three batters later following a groundout and an intentional walk to load the bases, Vaughn slapped a game-ending single to center.
The teams continue the series with another 9:05 p.m. CT matchup on Wednesday night. Right-hander Taylor Jungmann (2-3, 6.12) will make the start for the Sounds and face Las Vegas right-hander Logan Verrett (5-2, 4.79).

Fighting rocks Syria less than 24 hours to deadline
Syria's conflict spilled over into Turkey on Monday and government forces battled rebel fighters near the border in clashes that appeared to doom a ceasefire less than 24 hours before a U.N.-brokered deadline for a Syrian army pull-back.
Under a deal brokered by U.N.-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan, Syria is to begin withdrawing troops from around urban centres by Tuesday, paving the way for a truce to start 48 hours later.
But the prospect of a ceasefire looked increasingly dim, with no let-up in violence around the country where forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad have battled to crush a popular revolt against his rule for more than a year.
In a last-minute move, Assad has demanded written guarantees from opposition fighters that they put down their weapons, prompting Turkey's Deputy Foreign Minister Naci to say that the April 10 deadline was now effectively void.
April 10 has become void. After Kofi Annan's visit tomorrow (to Turkey) a new stage will start, state-run broadcaster TRT quoted Koru as saying on its website.
Less than 24 hours before the deadline, fierce fighting raged on the ground, with two Syrian refugees and a Turkish translator wounded by gunfire from Syria at a refugee camp on Turkish territory, according to Turkish officials.
It was not clear if the camp was deliberately targeted or hit by stray bullets.
In clashes inside Syria near the Turkish border, rebels killed at least six members of the Syrian security forces and customs officials, according to the opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
It said the fighting took place in the village of Salama, between the Syrian town of Azaz and the Turkish town of Kilis. Eight rebel gunmen were wounded in the fighting.

In Damascus province, four soldiers were killed in the bombing of a convoy as Syrian forces swept villages arresting opposition suspects. Two policemen were killed in clashes with gunmen in the city of Aleppo, the British-based Observatory said.
Colonel Qassem Saad al-Deen, spokesman for the Free Syrian Army in Syria, said on Sunday that at least 1,000 people had been killed during the past week, most of them civilians.
Western powers suspect Assad is using the time since he met Annan in Damascus a month ago to mount a military offensive aimed at clearing the country of rebel strongholds.
Since the outbreak of the uprising in March 2011, Syria has blamed the unrest on foreign-backed terrorists determined to use violence to destabilise the government. Assad, who has ruled for 10 years since succeeding his late father, Hafez al-Assad, has laid out his own reform programme but it has been dismissed by the opposition.
The severity of Assad's crackdown, in which the United Nations says 9,000 people have been killed, has triggered Western condemnation and sanctions, as the Syrian economy ground to a halt and its pound halved in value.
Under the U.N. plan, the Syrian government and opposition must stop fighting at 6 a.m. (0300 GMT) on April 12, if Damascus meets its deadline 48 hours earlier to pull back troops from cities and cease using heavy weapons.
Russia and China -- who have so far sided with Assad -- urged both sides to stop fighting and give Annan's peace plan a chance to work.
Reports from anti-Assad activists say the army is trying to seize back swathes of northwestern Idlib province from rebel control, using tanks and helicopters and driving terrified villagers north and west to the Turkish frontier.
The Observatory on Sunday reported shooting and shelling in a number of cities. At least 21 people were killed in Homs, Deraa, Idlib, Deir al-Zor and Hama province, and at least 12 government soldiers died in clashes, it said.
Syria has placed tight restrictions on media access, making it hard to verify witness accounts.
Russia, Assad's most important ally, stopped short of pressing him to rein in his army.
Attempts to force a solution on Syria from outside will lead only to an escalation of tension, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said. Everything must follow from respect for Syria's sovereignty, and violence must be stopped.
Syria on Sunday put up an obstacle to implementation of the truce on Sunday by saying it wanted written guarantees from opposition forces.
Syria has a plan for a military pullback already in place and being implemented, but completing and achieving the main goal would definitely require the guarantees from the other side and those supporting them to abide by the terms of calm, Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdissi said in a statement.
A rebel commander said this was just a smokescreen.
The regime will not implement this plan. This plan will fail, the Free Syrian Army (FSA) chief Colonel Riad al-Asaad told Reuters. We have given our word that if the regime commits to the plan then we will too.
We will never hand over our weapons, he added.

1. Re: Schema807817 Nov 14, 2012 4:02 PM (in response to 841474)Actually, when you have schema definitions on a master server which are not defined in the 99user.ldif file, these definitions will be replicated but they'll end up in the 99user.ldif in the target server.
Any user-defined schema ends up in that file on target servers. So, if you want to keep the things consistent and have the same schema files on each server you have 2 choices:
- add your own schema to 99user.ldif on the 1st master and let the directory server do the replication job.
- use your own schema files, and manually copy the files everywhere, which is not recommanded or even supported, possibly. Moreover, you may have pain to maintain
such a way to work.

THE boss of a York city centre restaurant has appeared in court on 13 food hygiene charges covering seven months.
Vincenzo Fuccio, 42, did not enter a plea to the allegations about La Vecchia Scuola, in Low Petergate.
The charges include claims that the kitchen staff did not take precautions against cross-contamination that could make food unfit for human consumption, that food was not kept at the appropriate temperature to prevent pathogens or harmful toxins growing, that the food preparation surfaces and cooking equipment used to prepare food were not kept clean and in good repair and that steps were not taken to ensure kitchen staff wore clean clothes and kept themselves clean.
The case was brought by City of York Council after food inspectors visited the restaurant.
One of the charges alleges the restaurant did not obey the instructions of a hygiene improvement notice served by the council on September 13, 2011.
Although Fuccio, of Shirley Drive, Hove, did not enter a plea, magistrates set matters in train for a trial on all 13 charges and adjourned the case to a case management hearing on November 29.
Seven of the charges refer to alleged offences on August 9, 2011, during an inspection.
Three more relate to October 18, including the hygiene improvement notice allegation, and three to March 27, 2012.
Fuccio described himself in court as the "man who paid the bills" and carried out "front of house" duties for the restaurant and said he had been in charge under a franchise arrangement before August 1, 2012, and "in charge" after that.
His solicitor, Jeremy Scott, said Fuccio was a company director.
The allegations refer to a company called La Scuola Limited in the charges for August 9 and October 18 and a company called Vincenzo (York) Limited for the charges on March 27.

ok i publish my buggy attemp at printing png. it just don't work and print some dots while using the old esc/p-2
- change pixel to dots conversion algorithm, actually do 16 pass for each color, while acrorip do 1 pass for each color.
i suspect the conversion simply calculate space between each dot color by average value of pixel color.
- only use the new raster command, we found the pdf for the r3000 raster command.
- figure out the correct setting for dpi. we only have the pdf for old printer using 360 dpi max.
- debug everything.
i use abdada method to copy the printing file to the shared printer locally. so you need to share your printer while under windows.
for linux i bet you simply change the last copy command to "cp file /dev/lp0", while using the correct path of your printer.
you need to install php cli, and enable gd2 extension in php config. or under linux install gd2 package

The world's investors may have had a three-year long love affair with Australian government bonds while local investors have generally shunned them, with good reason.
The bank's funding bind has meant that while foreign investors were accepting discounted yields to buy our high-yielding AAA debts, local investors could earn healthy premiums by sticking their money in a term-deposit account.
But after a dramatic day in the bond market, which comes as short-term rates are falling and deposit pressures are alleviating, does it now make sense for individuals to consider buying government bonds?
Foreign buyers piled into Aussie bonds purely based on their spread against comparably low United States and German bonds, not based on where local interest rates were heading.
That meant long-term rates were well below short-term rates where in most cases, investors get rewarded for accepting maturities further in the future.
Furthermore, Australia's banks, in a bid to shift their funding books towards deposits and away from wholesale, paid extremely healthy premiums.
As an example, in December 2011, the government bond rate hit what was then a low of 3.78 per cent but the RBA cash rate stood at 4.75 per cent and term deposits would have paid an additional premium of 1 per cent.
All in all, individuals have earned close to 2 per cent extra, give or take, from investing in cash, rather than long-term bonds.
In the US and most of Europe, however, where cash rates are near zero and the banks have not had to aggressively lure deposits, investors have been compelled to take more interest-rate risk to earn respectable yields.
But now, as those yields shoot higher, those offshore investors who rushed into bonds are taking some pain.
Exiting the carry trade
In Australia, investors have generally been spared the duration (interest rate risk) bloodbath because they've been able to earn sufficient yields on cash.
Sure, local government bonds offered some sort of a hedge against a severe market crash, but based on yields alone, the choice between a long-term government bond and a short-term deposit that was largely guaranteed by the government was a no-brainer.
After the havoc that occurred in the domestic bond market on Monday, it may be worth the while of cautious savers to consider government bonds.
Incredibly, Australian government bond yields have blown out as investors get stampeded in the rush to exit the carry trade.
The 10-year rate, which had fallen as low as 2.8 per cent in June 2012, has now shot up to more than 4 per cent.
This is now at a 1.25 per cent premium to the current 2.75 per cent cash rate – whereas for most of the last two years, foreign buying had pushed the 10-year yield well below the cash rate.
Now, that rising yield does not make Australian government bonds worthwhile.
There are two other important factors that could make government bonds a compelling option.
One is that a weaker domestic economy as Australia adjusts to the post-mining boom should force the Reserve Bank to cut interest rates.
A falling RBA cash rate is what economists were forecasting and what short-term rates traders had priced in, until they were caught on the wrong end of the market steam train.
If one takes the view that the RBA is going to cut another couple of times, the yield on short-term rates will fall to 2.25 per cent, that's 1.75 per cent below the 10-year rate.
If the RBA does cut rates, it should in normal conditions force government bond prices to rally.
Don't forget inflation
Another point to consider is that it is now much easier for individuals to buy government bonds now that they are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange with a range of maturities on offer.
The 2023 bond is yielding 4.004 per cent while the bond maturing in 2020 yields 3.63 per cent.
Now it's not a clear-cut decision to move to government by any stretch. Firstly, the carnage in bond markets could continue for a little while longer that could result in short-term paper losses.
Also, if an investor has a view that over a 10-year period interest rates will trend upwards, and that they will be able to earn about 4 per cent on average from investing in short-term debt over the next decade, then a government bond would be a neutral rather than an attractive investment.
If rates are expected to rise significantly above 4 per cent in the medium term, government bonds would be a loss-making investment if they were sold before maturity.
Considerations about inflation are also important as this will impact short-term interest rates and real bond returns.
What could also tip the scales away from bonds and towards cash is if the banks hit some funding difficulties and are forced to pay premiums well above the cash rate for deposit funding as they have done in the three years prior.
But if the gap between the rate banks are offering on deposits, and the yield on government bonds widens further, this bout of panicked selling could provide a great chance to lock in some long-term real yield that only months ago seemed as though it had disappeared.
At the very least, it's worth monitoring bond rates versus term deposit rates for opportunities that this market may throw up to lock in some safe long-term yield.

JERUSALEM (Mar. 21)
A visit to the fighting area this morning showed that the Israeli army had reverted to tactics of local strikes similar to the ones used before the June war. From a mountaintop north of Jericho, this correspondent clearly saw the fighting area. Few planes were seen overhead. In one hour, only two Israeli jet fighters passed above, one dropping its bombload.
This is in marked contrast to the Six-Day War, in which sorties flew overhead, wave after wave. The scene today could be classified as a skirmish rather than a war. Less than 20 miles from the heavy fighting area, sheep and goats were out grazing.
In Jericho, shops were open and some people were seen on streets but cafes were empty. Business was generally slow because Israelis and tourists, who make up the town's main shoppers, had been barred from entering this ancient town since yesterday. Outside Jericho, roads were lined with army supply trucks, some of them carrying ammunition. There was no attempt at camouflaging them.
None of the few planes Jordan still has took to the sky nor did Jordan attempt to shell Israeli-held towns or military bases in the West Bank as happened previously. However, it did use artillery against the Israeli troops who penetrated the East Bank behind Jordanian lines. Israeli planes went into action against these artillery bases.

Your inaccurate quote (source?) relies on pejorative terminology and fails to provide any legitimate governmental interest sufficient for harming others by refusing to treat them as you would yourself, under the law.
Use of the word "gay" by LGBT people to describe themselves predates the word "homosexual".
Anti-gay prejudice is observable in critical and hostile behavior such as legal discrimination, slurs, and violence on the basis of a perceived non-heterosexual orientation.

You are right, thinking is always changing. Many times it runs in cycles. But that is reality, and reality never changes.
The science is not 'in'. It is coming in, which brings up genetic epi-markers. It is now the most likely explanation for homosexuality. A epi-marker defectively left on the wrong gender. This explains the question of homosexuality and evolution, and one of the many simple, but clear questions of how a orientation could violate the design of the anus. Anal sex is inherently harmful, unhealthy and demeaning.
Before we judge discrimination, we must determine if a relationship equates to marriage.
The most basic essence of marriage is this; a cross cultural constraint on evolutionary mating behavior.
Out of all relationship types, gay couples are a direct defective failure of the primary purpose of evolution and mating behavior. Literally 'unmarriage'.
Under your definition, any relationship by any number of people can claim the rights and benefits of marriage.
I simply expressed the basic essence of marriage. No need to require procreation, it typically happens. Gay couples fail miserably at that very starting point. Hardly a denial of equality!
I never stated 'my beliefs' about anal sex. I simply stated the medical facts. Nor did I distinguish between orientations. Your problem is not with my beliefs, it is that I expose the distinction between natural sex and the primary form of gay sex.
Where heterosexual is the union of two designed to fit together, gay sex is a violent abuse of design, and lesbian sex, at the opposite extreme, has nothing to 'fit'.
Please stop whining and give some logical reasoned answers, or concede.

You still provide no legitimate governmental interest sufficient for denial of the fundamental right of marriage.
Straight couples gain nothing, and gay couples are harmed for no reason other than to support a traditional irrational prejudice.
It is you who should concede and stop offering irrational yet demonizing and dehumanizing excuses for harming others by denial of equal treatment as promised in the founding documents and required by the 5th and 14 amendments for all persons.

You not only have failed to equate gay couples to marriage, you have dumbed down marriage to a friendship that the government has no prevailing interest in supporting AND establish discrimination by limiting the friendship to two people.
You also make an unprovable and idiotic assertion that there will be no affect on society.
You conclude by asserting a gross violation of Constitutional intent.
Once again, before you take your straw man down any of these rabbit trails, you must establish that out of all relationships, gay couples equate to marriage.
Good luck.

"In the courts final analysis, the governments only basis for supporting DOMA comes down to an apparent belief that the moral views of the majority may properly be enacted as the law of the land in regard to state-sanctioned same-sex marriage in disregard of the personal status and living conditions of a significant segment of our pluralistic society. Such a view is not consistent with the evidence or the law as embodied in the Fifth Amendment with respect to the thoughts expressed in this decision. The court has no doubt about its conclusion:...

A clearly dishonest and prejudicial statement.
You still fail to establish a legitimate identity of equality as opposed to any other relationship.

No matter how often you repeat your beliefs, they remain irrelevant to the individual fundamental right of marriage.
If you are going to deny a fundamental right, you must demonstrate a compelling and legitimate governmental interest for doing so. Procreation ability, intent, or even desire has never been a requirement, yet gay people do raise children both biologically related or adopted. Your prejudice fails to qualify as a legitimate governmental interest sufficient for denial of equal treatment as required by the 5th and 14th amendments.
Denial of equal treatment provides nothing to opposite sex couples, while harming same sex couples needlessly.
These matters, involving the most intimate and personal choices a person may make in a lifetime, choices central to personal dignity and autonomy, are central to the liberty protected by the Fourteenth Amendment. At the heart of liberty is the right to define ones own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life.(SCOTUS)

Cofounder and CEO
Graftys, S.A.
Eiffel Park – Bat C
415 rue Claude Nicolas Ledoux
Aix En Provence, France
Dear Mr. Valet:
During an inspection of your firm located in Aix En Provence, France, on March 4, 2013, through March 7, 2013, an investigator from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) determined that your firm manufactures Class II Bone Void Fillers. Under section 201(h) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act), 21 U.S.C. § 321(h), these products are devices because they are intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, or to affect the structure or function of the body.
Our inspection revealed that the BCP Bone Void Filler and HBS Bone Void Filler devices are misbranded under section 502(t)(2) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 352(t)(2), in that your firm failed or refused to furnish material or information respecting the devices that is required by or under section 519 of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360i, and 21 CFR Part 803 - Medical Device Reporting. We received a response from your firm dated May 27, 2013, concerning our investigator's observations noted on the Form FDA 483 (FDA 483), List of Inspectional Observations, that was issued to your firm. We address this response below, in relation to each of the noted violations. These violations include, but are not limited to, the following:
Failure of your firm to adequately develop, maintain and implement written medical device reporting (MDR) procedures, as required by 21 CFR 803.17(a). For example, after reviewing your firm's MDR procedure titled, "EXIGENCES REGLEMENTAIRES USA APPLICABLES (USA Regulatory Requirements)," Version 1, dated February 27, 2008, the following issues were noted:
1. Your firm's MDR procedure does not establish internal systems that provide for a standardized review process to determine when an event meets the criteria for reporting under Part 803. For example:
a. There are no instructions for conducting a complete investigation of each event and evaluating the cause of the event.
b. There are no instructions for how your firm will evaluate information about an event to make MDR reportability determinations in a timely manner.
2. Your firm's MDR procedure does not establish internal systems that provide for timely transmission of complete medical device reports. Specifically, the following are not addressed:
a. Instructions for how to obtain and complete the FDA 3500A form.
b. How your firm will submit all information reasonably known to it for each event.
c. The address for where to submit MDR reports: FDA, CDRH, Medical Device Reporting, P.O. Box 3002, Rockville, MD 20847-3002.
We reviewed your firm's response and concluded that it is not adequate. Your firm's MDR procedure does not establish internal systems that provide for a standardized review process to determine when an event meets the criteria for reporting under Part 803. Your firm's MDR procedure does not establish internal systems that provide for timely transmission of complete medical device reports.
Your firm's MDR procedure references baseline reports and annual certifications. Baseline reports and Annual Certifications are no longer required and all references to a Baseline Report and Annual Certification should be removed from the firm's MDR procedure (see: 73 Federal Register Notice 53686, dated September 17, 2008, and Fourth Notice, Federal Register, dated March 20, 1997: Medical Device Reporting; Annual Certification; Final Rule).
If your firm wishes to submit MDR reports via electronic submission it can follow the directions stated at the following URL: http://www.fda.gov/ForIndustry/FDAeSubmitter/ucm107903.htm
If your firm wishes to discuss MDR reportability criteria or to schedule further communications, it may contact the MDR Policy Branch at 301-796-6670 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Federal agencies may be advised of the issuance of Warning Letters about devices so that they may take this information into account when considering the awarding of contracts.
Please notify this office in writing, within fifteen business days from the date you receive this letter, of the specific steps your firm has taken to correct the noted violations, including an explanation of how your firm plans to prevent these violations, or similar violations, from occurring again. Include documentation of the corrections and/or corrective action (including any systemic corrective actions) that your firm has taken. If your firm's planned corrections and/or corrective actions will occur over time, please include a timetable for implementation of those activities. If corrections and/or corrective actions cannot be completed within fifteen business days, state the reason for the delay and the time within which these activities will be completed. Please provide a translation of documentation not in English to facilitate our review.
In addition, FDA has noted nonconformances with regards to section 501(h) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 351(h), which are deficiencies within your firm's quality system pertaining to current good manufacturing practice requirements specified in the Quality System regulation found at 21 CFR Part 820. These nonconformances include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Failure to establish and maintain procedures for receiving, reviewing, and evaluating complaints by a formally designated unit, as required by 21 CFR 820.198(a). For example, your firm's complaint form does not specifically require an evaluation to determine whether the event is reportable to FDA under 21 CFR 803.
The adequacy of your response cannot be determined at this time. Your firm stated that its "Treatment of Complaints and Management of CAPA" procedure would be updated to include the requirement of documenting whether a complaint represents an MDR reportable event and a flowchart to facilitate the decision. However, your firm did not indicate that the complaint form would be updated to include MDR reporting requirements. Additionally, your firm did not provide any detailed description and evidence of correction and/or corrective action, which should include the review of all of its complaints to determine if they are MDR-reportable events.
2. Failure to establish and maintain procedures to ensure that sampling methods are adequate for their intended use and to ensure that, when changes occur, the sampling plans are reviewed, as required by 21 CFR 820.250(b). For example, your firm has not developed sampling plans based on a statistical rationale to ensure that sampling methods are adequate for its in-process and finished-product testing procedures, including its sterility sampling procedure.
The adequacy of your firm's response cannot be determined at this time. Your firm stated that it would review all sampling plans and justify the rationale for each. Your firm also stated that it would ensure that its sampling plan development would not be limited to in-process and finished products. However, your firm did not provide any detailed description and evidence of implementation of the corrections and/or corrective actions.
Your firm's response to this letter should be sent to: Food and Drug Administration, Center for Devices and Radiological Health, Office of Compliance, Field Operations Branch, White Oak Building 66, Rm 2609, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Silver Spring, MD 20993. Refer to CMS case # 396846 when replying. If you have any questions about the contents of this letter, please contact: Matthew C. Krueger, at 301-796-5585.
Finally, you should know that this letter is not intended to be an all-inclusive list of the violations at your firm's facility. It is your firm's responsibility to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations administered by FDA. The specific violations noted in this letter and in the FDA 483 may be symptomatic of serious problems in your firm's manufacturing and quality management systems.
Your firm should investigate and determine the causes of the violations, and take prompt actions to correct the violations and bring the products into compliance.
Sincerely yours,
Steven D. Silverman

some 250 years ago. (Well, some of it anyway.) And only a
few things were changed to protect the guilty: most of that
particular "almanack" appeared in 1753; it was actually his
twentieth, not tenth; and you can bet that good ol' Uncle
Ben never heard of any such thing as "spring break." So,

published an amazing observation. It has been discovered,
he believes, that there is a more-than-coincidental
correlation between breast cancer in women who wear bras
more often than those who don't.
By all means, please check this out:
It seems (and this is fairly logical, no?) that women have
evolved pretty much breast-cancer-free for thousands of
years AND they have mostly gone without brassieres. As it
now turns out, such continuing unfettered breast movement is
theorized to be NECESSARY for the freely flowing lymphatic
system whose malfunctioning, caused by such tight

Lady: How much is this?
Clerk: This, you mean?
Lady: Yes.
Clerk: THIS?
Lady: Yes, this. Just this. Not this over here, or this
additional part. Just this right here.
Clerk: Let's see. This over here would run you 38.50; but
with our Special Deterioration Allowance, it would bring you
down to 35-even. Now, with the additional School Levy and
Oil Spill Removal Insurance Tax, it would bring you back up
to 39.25. Add in your provincial, state, local, city,
county, municipal, village, and township taxes, and the
total goes way up over 52 dollars. And with your Cost
Avoidance Penalty for purchasing this item without that
additional part, your total would come to, let's see... yes,
56.89. But now your cost for the additional part alone will
subject you to the Premature Assembly Penalty, plus the
Quantum Cost Avoidance Surcharge, in addition to the
Regional Cost Adjustment for our franchising differential as
well as the Cost-of-Living Escalator for inflation. So,
let's see... that comes to 26.75 for this part alone. Of
course, if you buy them both together...
Lady: My goodness! Excuse me, sir, but just what are all
these charges? I've never heard of such things!
Clerk: You asked me how much, right?
Lady: But I never...
Clerk: Tell you what. Over here we have the same thing in
metric sizes. It's on sale.
Lady: I hesitate to ask.
Clerk: It'll base out at about 25.00, but with your
Business Use Energy Credit, Caucasian Depreciation
Allowance, and First-Time Buyer's Factory Rebate, it'll
bring you down to 24.59. But then you need to add back the
penalties for buying these parts separately, and then add
your leisure and luxury taxes, Husband-Motivator Surcharge,
and penalties for double-parking...
Lady: I am not double parked!
Clerk: I know. He is.
Lady: Who is?
Clerk: Your husband.
Lady: My husband?
Clerk: Sure is. Our radio-dispatched promotional bumper
sticker search team spotted his car an hour ago.
Lady: I beg to differ!
Clerk: That'll cost you extra, ma'am.
Lady: But I am no longer married!
Clerk: That'll be a savings.
Lady: That's none of your business!
Clerk: Let's see. With the Matrimonial Salvage Credit,
Night-Time Energy Savings, Decreased Bath Water Use
Allowance, Peace-of-Mind Benefit, and Tone-of-Voice
Reduction, your gross annual suburban life cost improvement
index should be right around 58 thousand. But then, you

Clerk: ...give or take.
Lady: Excuse me, sir.
Clerk: Yes?
Lady: In the first place, my personal life is of no

Clerk: You asked how much everything is, didn't you?
Lady: No, not everything. I specifically said, "Just
this." Not everything else with it. "Just this" period.
Clerk: That's cool.
Lady: Would you like me to tell you WHY I asked?
Clerk: Probably because of your upper middle class
compulsion for comparative shopping, continuing
cost-analysis needs, triplicate copy urges, or just plain
bargain hunting in general.
Lady: No.
Clerk: How 'bout your upwardly-mobile status climbing
Lady: No.
Clerk: Food stamps avoidance syndrome?
Lady: No.
Clerk: Low-income housing repulsion factor?
Lady: No, no, no! Not at all. No sir. Actually, my name
is Jo-Ann Hyphen-Salvage, and I'm from the state revenue
department. We are conducting an investigation here for the
following specific reasons: There are no prices marked
in this establishment; the Better Business Bureau has
received complaints about your numerous unrelated and
totally arbitrary pricing practices; you have shown a marked
propensity toward provincial, state, local, city, county,
municipal, village, and township tax avoidance--as well as
an increasing reduction of your cash register tax key
ringing compulsion. In short, you owe the state about 98
thousand in unpaid taxes; in addition to your 58 thousand in
overdue payments of employee paycheck withholdings--give or
take a few grand--and your three years' income tax return
filing avoidances with all the thereunto appertaining
penalties, surcharges, and accrued interest on your
disallowed exemptions, credits, and depreciation deductions.
You, sir, should have asked ME how much this costs! We
figure, adding each part individually: about
one-point-three-five million dollars!
Clerk: (pause) What if we include all the parts together?
Lady: Well, in that case, I might be able to qualify you
for a Quantum Surcharge Penalty Avoidance Reduction, or a
Gross Accounting Time Disappreciation Allowance, or a...

OK, M.I.R. (Middle Income Richard),
Just a quick note to let you know how much I enjoy your
ramblings and how I am constantly reminded that we have
strangely similar thought processes.
Follow the link below. I think you will find it to be of
interest to you as a runner, eco-minded citizen, and
aficionado of those strange little stories that pop up in
the media--you know you heard it; you aren't sure where or
when. I have found that the Internet has saved my sanity
through the use of search engines to ferret out these blurbs
of info often delivered by smirking "anchor persons" after
the usual depressing body-count news of the day. You were
on the right track with the "soap powered car" (by the way,
liquid borax could hardly be considered a "harmless"
by-product; that stuff will tan leather!) but you must go

[Editor's note: Gassed boots indeed! M.I. Richard did
in fact check this link and discover the origin of such
folly: newly capitalist Russia. Yes, some hungry professor
over there has supposedly invented two boots, each with a
gasoline engine, that for the well-balanced runner will
"achieve speeds of up to 40 km/h (25 mph)." His most
telling comment? "We aren't standing still. We're
improving the product." To what? Reach freeway speeds?
Try to imagine little old ladies and men upright on footwear
racing 65 miles per hour. Whoa Nellie!!! Of course, it's
engineering like this that keeps Russia backward. This
still doesn't solve the dependency on foreign oil problem.
What Russian inventors *ought* to be working on are boots
powered by borax. Eh, Boris?]
Enjoyed reading your latest publication. Very
enlightening!!!!! Such wisdom
for a mere $1.00 per--in the future. I will certainly try
to pre-empt a future billing, though, by sending a few
greenbacks via s-n-a-i-l-m-a-i-l. Thank you.
I had read about Tennessee's state parks closings in our
local "Gazette" and was outraged. I cannot imagine that
happening in my state. Such an easily remedied solution to
keeping the parks open for all to enjoy--why, it should
almost be a "birthright" for Tennesseeans (?) to enjoy that
beautiful wild nature. How very sad. I hate to think what
will happen if the developers DO get hold of it.
I have an annual pass for our Colorado state park system and
even the ever-increasing fees are well worth it. Money well

encouraging your kind words are to the publisher of this
foolishly optimistic wide-eyed "paperless" publication. And
your thoughts on fees for passes are well received. See
previous issues of "Middle Income Richard's" for the
continuing sad predicament of Tennessee's "budget cuts" and
that government's lamentable decision to close some 14 of
its state parks. We have written to a local state

Dear Mr. Limacher:
Thank you for your recent letter concerning the closing of
Frozen Head and other State Parks. I appreciate you taking
the time to contact me about this important issue.
Your arguments are well stated and valid, and I am in total
agreement with you. Governor Sundquist's closing of state
parks was a most unfortunate policy decision. However, I
and other members of the Tennessee General Assembly are
working to reopen the parks.
Again, thank you for your letter. Please feel free to

[Editor's final late-breaking note: The following
observations on Easter were publicly disseminated by an
Illinois colleague, Candace Herrick. "Spam"? Probably.
But it's kind of funny spam nevertheless. Think of it as
your treat for the Vernal Equinox.]
* * * * *
Three blondes died and are at the Pearly Gates of Heaven.
St. Peter tells them that they can enter the gates if they
can answer one simple question. He asks the first blonde,
"What is Easter?"
The blonde replies, "Oh, that's easy! It's the holiday in
November when everyone gets together, eats turkey, and are
"Wrong!" replies St. Peter, and proceeds to ask the second
blonde the same question. "What is Easter?"
The second blonde replies, "Easter is the holiday in
December when we put up a nice tree, exchange presents, and
celebrate the birth of Jesus."
St. Peter looks at the second blonde, shakes his head in
disbelief, tells her she's wrong, and then peers over his
glasses at the third blonde and asks, "What is Easter?"
The third blonde smiles confidently and looks St. Peter in
the eyes and says, "I know what Easter is."
"Oh?" says St. Peter doubtfully.
"Easter is the Christian holiday that coincides with the
Jewish celebration of Passover. Jesus and his disciples
were eating at the last supper and Jesus was later deceived
and turned over to the Romans by one of his disciples. The
Romans took him to be crucified and he
was stabbed in the side, made to wear a crown of thorns, and
was hanged on a cross with nails through his hands. He was
buried in a nearby cave which was sealed off by a large
St. Peter smiles broadly in delight.
She continues, "Every year the boulder is moved aside so
that Jesus can come out, and if he sees his shadow, there
will be six more weeks of winter."

Hurry! This happens THIS month!!
And now for all you racing enthusiasts
[non-motorized, that is, and non-wheeled neither]
here is something completely different
[or, at least not well known in *this* particular
e-publication]. It's the...
2nd Annual
50 Kilometers and 100 Kilometers
8:00 a.m., April 20, 2002
A Saturday in sunny and balmy Toronto,
Ontario, Canada, North America,
Western Hemisphere, Earth.
This course is very, very fast
[remember: this is a footrace, so speed here is
relative; that is, related to your own feet and how fast
you can move them] and ORA Class C certified.
[Not "certifiable," just *certified.* OK?]
Cutoff suggested at 14 hours for BOTH races
[no, this doesn't mean the severing of bodyparts;
it means you gotta be done running before
the clock strikes "14" else you turn into a pumpkin]
...but nobody gets pulled no matter what.
[Not even if the Wicked Witch turns them into taffy.]
The course is 5 kilometers out and then back along
a little-used asphalt bike path following the beautiful
Humber River with 4 small bridge crossings. Repeat
5 or 10 times as required. [No, not crossing the bridge.
Running the 5 kilometers!] Also, there are NO road
The Entry Fee is unbelievably cheap for Americans
due to the economic policy of our Canadian
Government [which allows as to how all Americans
enter cheap].
Oh, this also happens to be the very first
Ontario Ultra Series event of the year.
[The second one hasn't bothered to advertise in this e-rag.]
[But maybe someday, eh?]

crystal clear herewith. Send John an e-mail at

It's no secret that one of our most memorable ancestors, Ben
Franklin, got his first real "break" in the media by giving
up trying to pander to the tastes of the more traditional
publishers of his time--and just inventing that "break" on
his own. He published a simple one-page periodical called
"Poor Richard's Almanack" and sold it along the streets and
rivers of the colonies for a penny apiece. And it thrived
as a business for the next twenty-five years. So now, some
two-hundred and sixty-nine years later, you get "Middle
Income Richard's 3rd Millennium Almanack" selling along the
buy-ways and Java-streams of the Internet for a buck a copy.
At least, that's the plan.
For the moment, of course, this is free. That is, unless
you suddenly develop pangs of conscience, and for that you
might find immediate relief by snail-mailing a Yankee
greenback to Ben's most dubious distant cousin: C. C.
Writers at P.O. Box 963, Matteson, Illinois 60443 USA.
Thanks. And keep thinking "green" (i.e., saving the
environment by promoting paperless publishing)!!!

Guatemala Coup
A dictatorship led by General Jorge Ubico was overthrown in 1944 by a group of dissident military officers, students, and professionals. Juan Jose Arevalo, a civilian, was popularly elected in democratic elections, became president in 1945 and began an extensive program of liberal social reforms. These reforms were continued by his successor, Colonel Jacobo Arbenz, who took office in 1951 and also legalized the communist Guatemalan Labor Party. The Labor Party began to control labor unions, peasant organizations, and the governing political party. American firms in Guatemala such as the United Fruit Company became increasingly discontent with the Guatemalan government, especially after the Arbenz government passed a law expropriating large estates, a law which greatly affected the United Fruit Company's plantations. The United States itself also began to fear the increasingly communist nature of the Arbenz government and coupled with pressure from the United Fruit Company and other firms, the CIA supported a coup that invaded Guatemala from Honduras and quickly took control of the government, installing military dictator Colonel Carlos Castillo Armas. The coup and the resulting regime began an almost 50-year period of military dictators, fraudulent elections, and civil wars that claimed 200,000 lives, many of them civilians.
While it is a commonly accepted fact that the CIA was instrumental in the planning and the execution of the coup, it is unclear as to exactly how much involvement the CIA had in the coup. The operation, dubbed Operation PBSUCCESS, broadcast propaganda from Honduras on "Liberation Radio," distributed arms, and helped Armas plan and stage his coup. Some have also speculated that the CIA was also responsible for the military's failure to stop the advancing troops. Recently declassified documents from the CIA's archives have shed some light on the matter. They show that the Arevalo and Arbenz governments had long been a source of discontent for the US, with one memoranda referring to Arbenz's reforms as "an intensely nationalistic program of progress colored by the touchy, anti-foreign inferiority complex of the 'Banana Republic.'" There was an earlier attempt to overthrow the Guatemalan government under the Truman administration in 1952, which of course was not successful. There was also a list made that compiled the leaders and individuals that were to be assassinated or neutralized.
The legacy of the coup has been the source of considerable debate in both Guatemala and America. For many people in both countries, the coup epitomizes the CIA's and America's tactic of overthrowing unfriendly, if democratic regimes, in favor of regimes that were friendly, if dictatorial. There also those (both Americans and Guatemalans) who are unapologetic about the coup, believing that communism was a serious threat and that the policies of Arbenz was bringing Guatemala closer to the communist fold. While Guatemala did not pose a direct strategic threat to the United States, there were concerns that it would establish a communist beachhead in America's own backyard (one has to remember that the Arbenz government predated that of Castro's Cuba by about four years).

Addison Disease
What is Addison disease?
Addison disease is also called primary adrenal insufficiency. It is a condition where your adrenal glands do not make enough adrenal hormones. These hormones help your body deal with stress, keep blood pressure normal, and balance salt and fluids. They also control how your body uses sugars, fats, and proteins. Addison disease can lead to an adrenal crisis (Addisonian crisis) if your adrenal gland becomes badly damaged. This is life-threatening and needs immediate treatment.
What causes Addison disease?
- Autoimmune disorders: This is the most common cause of Addison disease. A problem with your immune system may make your body attack your adrenal glands.
- Cancer metastasis: Cancer cells from other organs can spread to your adrenal glands and cause damage.
- Genetic conditions: You may have been born with genes that cause damage to your adrenal glands. Ask your healthcare provider for more information about the genetic disorders that may cause the condition.
- Infections: These include fungal infections, tuberculosis, and infections that happen more often if you have a weak immune system. Ask your healthcare provider for information on other infections which may cause the condition.
- Surgery: Surgery done to remove one or both of your adrenal glands may cause Addison disease.
What are the signs and symptoms of Addison disease?
Signs and symptoms may show up slowly over months or years. You may have any of the following:
- Dizziness, weakness, and tiredness
- Nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite, and weight loss
- Depression or trouble thinking clearly
- Muscle, joint, and back pain
- Desire for certain foods such as licorice and salty things.
- Loss of hair or white patches of skin on your body
- Darkening of certain skin areas such as areas exposed to sun, nipples, genital area, and the inside your mouth
How is Addison disease diagnosed?
Your healthcare provider will ask you about your health and medical history. This may include information about what signs and symptoms you have and when they started. You may need any of the following:
- Blood tests: These tests tell your healthcare provider how high or low the levels of hormones are in your blood. Other blood tests may be done to give your healthcare providers more information about your health.
- Chemical stimulation tests: Your blood will be tested first. Then you will be given a shot of chemicals that cause your adrenal glands to make hormones. After several minutes, the hormone levels in your blood are tested again. Ask your healthcare provider for information about this test.
- Urine test: This test measures the amount of adrenal hormones in your urine.
How is Addison disease treated?
- Steroid medicine: Steroids are given to balance the steroid hormone levels your adrenal glands naturally make. You may need to take this medicine for the rest of your life. You may need to change how much medicine you take when you are ill or have increased stress. Do not stop taking this medicine without talking to your healthcare provider. You can trigger an adrenal crisis if you stop taking steroids suddenly.
What are the risks of Addison disease?
You may have an allergic response to the medicines used to treat you. The medicines may cause you to gain weight or bruise easily. You may have fast heartbeats and muscle weakness. Over time, your bones may become brittle and break easier. If you do not treat Addison's disease or stop taking your medicine, you to have changes in behavior and delusions (hear voices). You can have an adrenal crisis if you do not take your medicine or do not get treatment. An adrenal crisis can make you lose body fluid and lower your blood pressure too much. This may cause you to go into a coma and you may die.
When should I call my healthcare provider?
Call your healthcare provider if:
- You have a fever.
- You have diarrhea or constipation.
- You have nausea, vomiting, or stomach pain.
- You sweat or urinate more than usual.
- You have questions or concerns about your condition, treatment, or care.
When should I seek immediate help?
Seek care immediately or call 911 if:
- You always feel dizzy when you stand up from a sitting or lying position.
- You hear voices or see something that is not real.
- You have severe pain in your stomach, waist, or back.
- You have very dry skin, dry mouth and tongue, or feel more thirsty than normal.
- Your symptoms become worse, even after you take medicine.

Parents are attempting to make schools stop individual teachers from teaching or having any contact with their children.
This has even extended to parents demanding that teachers do not ever speak to their children, even to call the register when covering for an absent colleague.
This claim about aggressive parent power was made by a Dorset teacher at the annual conference of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers, as the union debated the growing problem of malicious allegations against staff.
Andy Speake said there were parents who were attempting to pick and choose who taught their children, motivated either by a belief that they could get a "better" teacher or because of "personality clashes" which made a teacher unacceptable.
Such attempts to block teachers were based on disagreements or dislikes of members of staff, rather than any particular claims against them, he suggested.
Such an attitude from parents would have been "unimaginable a generation ago", said Mr Speake.
The union also heard calls for teachers to be better protected from malicious allegations from pupils, with speakers describing how lives could be ruined by the stress of false accusations.
Climate of fear
And Mr Speake described the climate of distrust that could be created. In his own school, he says that he never interviews a pupil in his office without the door being fully open.
There were also arrangements so that teachers were not left alone with pupils in a way that might leave them vulnerable to accusations.
And he said that there were pupils who used the threat of making up an allegation against teachers as a way of intimidating staff.
The conference made another appeal for anonymity for staff accused of attacks on pupils, until the charges were proved.
And it called for legal redress - both to compensate the victims of false claims and to provide some sanction against pupils or families who had deliberately set out to damage a teacher with a malicious allegation.
Career ruined
Mr Speake highlighted a case, not at his current school, where a teacher had been cleared of assaulting a pupil.
Even though he was proved to be innocent, and even though there had been widespread scepticism among staff about the allegation, the accused teacher never returned to the school.
Suspended from his post during the 10 months before he was cleared, the teacher's health was badly affected by the publicity surrounding the case, and he was hospitalised and eventually retired on grounds of ill-health.
Mr Speake emphasised the threat this posed to teachers, where decades of an unblemished career could be ruined by a single groundless claim - even where the allegations appeared to have little substance.
"The authorities can be too quick to take the word of a student - they should weigh up the balance of probabilities."
There were claims made by pupils known to be deliberately disruptive and with long records of misbehaviour, he said, who knew they could have a teacher suspended by making allegations.
He also suggested that if teachers faced an automatic suspension when they were accused of an assault, it might be fairer if the accuser also had to be taught elsewhere.
Mr Speake also thought that the fear of becoming a victim of a malicious allegation could lead to more teachers refusing to teach pupils who have previously made such false claims.
