European Directives for Medical Devices
Obelis European Authorized Representative Center (O.E.A.R.C.)
European Directives for Medical Devices
The MDD 93/42/EEC Medical Device Directive, mandatory since June 14,1998 requires Non-European Medical Device Manufacturers to appoint a European Authorized Representative to sell their product in Europe .(MDD 93/42 Article 14 ) Obelis (O.E.A.R.C.) is the foremost Authorized Representative for your Medical Devices. The European Union Medical Technology industry is a market of about 55,2 € billion. Under the Medical Device Directive there are about 8,000 different types of product. Obelis wants to help you take advantage of the opportunity to enter such a large and lucrative market while navigating the difficult waters of MDD regulation.
Originally created July 12, 1993 and mandatory since June 14, 1998, the Directive requires that companies wishing to sell medical devices within the EU must meet the requirements under the directive. The regulations under this mandate can vary from member country to member country concerning translation of key documents to other regulatory laws specific to that region. These additions supplement the set of harmonized standards put in place by the European Commission. These harmonized standards serve to free the flow of goods from one market to another within the EU Medical Device industry.
Requirements under this mandate include, but are not limited to:
• Establishing an Authorized European Representative if manufacturer is located outside the EU
• Choosing and follow the appropriate assessment module
• Providing a technical file
• Selection of a Notified Body for certification (if required)
• EC Declaration of Conformity
How does this Directive effect a Non-European Manufacturer?
Manufacturers, as well as distributors, are now legally obligated to ensure that their products reside within the bounds of the Medical Device Directives and will be held responsible for not doing so. This includes informing the authorities about potentially dangerous supplies of your products, and can result in tracing your product to remove it from the market. The European market has the potential to be a very lucrative venue to sell your products; however, ignoring or failing to meet the regulations such as the Medical Device Directives can prevent the free-flow of your product or worse, remove your product from the market.
Obelis European Authorized Representative Center (O.E.A.R.C.)
is comprised of a team of regulatory experts who maintain the latest communication and changes regarding the MDD 93/42/EEC and other EU Directives that directly apply to your product. We maintain continual communication with the Competent Authorities and can keep you immediately informed of any information applicable to your product(s). We can assist you in introducing or maintaining your products' circulation within the EU and guide you through the regulatory maze of product safety and requirements.
Obelis (O.E.A.R.C.) is backed by 18 years, giving Commercial, Regulatory, Administration, and Market development services. Contact us today for specifics pertaining to your products.

'Wife Swap' brings new reality to King George family
There are 157 comments on the Hampton Roads Daily Press story from Apr 13, 2009, titled 'Wife Swap' brings new reality to King George family. In it, Hampton Roads Daily Press reports that:Generally, the sight of something furry in Steve Hickman's hen house would be cause for alarm.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at Hampton Roads Daily Press.
#2 Apr 17, 2009
The Burroughs are the most self-centered grotesque pair of people I've yet seen on this series. Bravo to the casting director. I wonder what surgeries Shannon Nicole will get with the 20k honorarium the show provides.
#3 Apr 17, 2009
If that broad is 33 now, I wonder what she'll look like at 40!
P.S. Worst person ever
#4 Apr 17, 2009
I think Shannon is a Moran and her lips are weird looking she looks like an alien
#5 Apr 17, 2009
There is no way that chick is 33. She looks like she is closer to 50 than 40. She is such a stereotype. Her skin is orange and her hair is stupid looking. And animal print is for old ladies. Her lips are ugly and she has a fat ass.
#6 Apr 17, 2009
I just watched this show. I currently live in New Jersey. That woman, the plastic one, makes me want to leave this state and never return.
#7 Apr 17, 2009
I cannot believe that people like Shannon really exist in the world. "cartoon character" is dead on -- she reminds you of cruella deville. ugh, what a mess that woman is. I feel bad those nice people had that wretched woman in their home. Why do trashy people think they're beautiful and have good taste. She's got tacky and clueless written all over her. Sad those animals had to die to be draped over such a vile piece of garbage. If there's any justice in the world one of her implants will get infected and she'll become disfigured. Her kids don't stand a chance of being decent human beings.
#8 Apr 17, 2009
Shannon needs to see a medical doctor, she is absolutely out of her mind. I feel sorry for her kids. Disgusting waste of a person. She looks like she was dipped in orange gel and then threw on tons of gawdy costume jewelry.
#9 Apr 17, 2009
Watching Shannon on the show was like watching a spoiled 16-year-old. It's all about her, her money, and her looks. Amazingly irresponsible, amazingly neurotic, amazingly vain. She assaulted Hickman with her plastic breasts...that says it all. One could actually wish that he gets laid-off and she's forced to cut up her credit cards. But he seems like a nice guy (after his initial temper-tantrum) that is starting to stand up to Little Miss Priss.
#10 Apr 17, 2009
Wealthy??? Maby by south Jersey standards. You can't even buy a 1 bedroom condo in North Jersey for the price of their house. She was so obnoxious and disrespectful to that man ...and in front of his children no less. 33?? a hard 33.
#11 Apr 17, 2009
She was a complete self-centered bitch! An embarrassment to New Jersey!
#12 Apr 17, 2009
What a f***in b**ch that Shannon was. I have ZERO tolerance for people like that. If someone dared talked to me like that, my fist would be in their face. She was a disgrace to both that show and her own family as she has absolutely ZERO respect for her own husband. I sure hope her kids DON'T become like her. Fat chance, huh! BTW, if I was Steve Hickman, I'd actually kick her a** out of my house, literally within the first minute.
#13 Apr 17, 2009
She was a naty, evil b****. I don't for one minute agree with the Hickman lifestyle but there is still something called showing respect. Shannon Nicole lacked couth and class. She openly and brazenly looked down on those people. I hope that she gets a lot of public backlash for that little stunt. What a crap human being she is.
#14 Apr 17, 2009
Well the husband could not get a dog to hump his leg! So of course he would let this winch run his life!
#15 Apr 17, 2009
I've been a long time watcher of wife swap; however, I think this episode went too far. To have a woman like Shannon Nicole on the show to degrade a family the way she did was appalling. I dont care how much or how little money a person has, does not make them better than the next. How dare you look down on someone else because of the lifestyle they chose!!! God has blessed you with the things you possess and he can certainly take it away. Wife Swap, I know you are looking for ratings, but to humiliate a family the way YOU did was a big turn off. The Hickmans deserve an apology from your show and from the Burroughs family. Do the right thing.
United States
#16 Apr 17, 2009
I think that wanna be Barbie doll, more like broke down Bratz doll is a self centered, mean spirited witch. I feel to diss Hickman's in puplic like that is just wrong. I like the Hickman's simple way of life and as long as they are healthy, there kids are in school and fed etc. and it works for them fine. Shannon Nicole is unrealistic and needs to get a refund for her plastic surgery she looks hidious since she likes to diss how bad the Hickman's look.And who is she to just push her shoulder into him and knock him down to the couch, that must be why her husband has no backbone, she slap him around.
Hinton, Canada
#17 Apr 17, 2009
I agree with all the comments thus far. Can someone clarify why the Burrough's both go by "Shannon"? It could happen...but....Are these truly their first names or is something weird going on? My first thought was that Mr. Burroughs modified his name at his wife's behest!
#18 Apr 18, 2009
I have seen better looking tranvestites.
#19 Apr 18, 2009
This is the only episode I've ever watched, and I was appalled. I can only hope that she will watch the episode and realize how her behavior is an embarrassment to herself and her family. I laughed pretty hard when the husband said, "Go ahead and spit on me," and she replied, "I'm too classy for that." Really? Really????
#20 Apr 18, 2009
It was disgraceful that shannon was allowed to belittle this man in front of his children. A producer should have yelled "cut". Shannon Nicole is certainly on UN classy broad.
Vancouver, Canada
#21 Apr 18, 2009
Shannon Burroughs would have been hillarious if not for her disgusting personality.
For a woman (allegedly) who places such a high regard on "class" and looks, she could easily pass for an old drag queen.

|Problems? Is your data what you think it is?
Re^5: IO::Lambda: call for participationby xdg (Monsignor)
|on Jan 05, 2009 at 21:03 UTC ( #734280=note: print w/replies, xml )
|Need Help??
You're welcome.
I have some follow-up thoughts, now that IO::Lambda has been rattling around in my head for a few hours. Mostly it relates to how I'd try to explain it to someone. Is this explanation correct:
That's my rough take on it. I think I'm being a little imprecise around the definition of "predicate" as you seem to indicate that lambda() is also a predicate. I remember enough of HOP to know why. In a way, predicates just define conditions under which callbacks are to be run. The lambda() function returns a lambda that can only be run explicitly with a method call. The other predicates use the context to provide sugar for automatically running the callback under certain conditions.
Also, explaining what gets returned from running a lambda really needs a lot more explanation and some examples. Otherwise, I'd be tempted to use a global to make sure each callback put its output in the right place so I didn't have to worry about what happens inside the black box.

ASME is built with the most modern web standards, which give you a better & more reliable experience.
October 2013
Providing clean and affordable energy to rural villages in developing countries is an engineering challenge that will persist for several decades. This challenge is not new, yet many development initiatives have failed and our current progress is negligible in the wake of population growth. Dr. Nathan Johnson, assistant professor, Arizona State University, suggests that to create sustainable and impactful energy solutions, our design strategies must focus on the energy system and not just the technology.

Even if he is a seasoned veteran and totally desensitized, there's always something out there nastier. I wonder if he looks away and thinks about the Golden Corral buffet going on without him or that he just can't wait to get out of work so he can go home and play computer games in his mom's basement.

Not having to worry about "what's for dinner?" has been a TOTAL blessing. Having that one extra task taken care of, makes my day run smoother and saves me SO much time! I LOVE that all I have to do, is pull out one of my prepared meals from the freezer to thaw, pop it in the oven, or throw it in the crockpot and cook as instructed – SO SIMPLE!! My family is LOVING that there is more variety to their meals on busy nights as opposed to eating a big pot of the same thing 🙂
This week we have enjoyed the "Louisiana Red Beans and Rice", my kids really liked it with a spoonful of sour cream and a little shredded cheese on top. The "Pumpkin Risotto" was also a big hit. I toasted some pumpkin seeds and sprinkled those on top to give the meal a little crunch. We had the "Loaded Veggie Quesadillas" one night with a bowl of soup. I placed the quesadillas on a baking pan and warmed them in the oven. I baked the "Winter Pizza" for some girlfriends and I for lunch one day. ABSOLUTELY my favorite so far – WOW this may actually be the BEST pizza I have ever had! Thinking it will be GREAT as an appetizer on Christmas Eve as well.
With only a week left before Christmas, and still having SO much to do, I know that the "Once A Month Meals" are going to help tremendously!!

By Mike McIntyre
WINNIPEG — A Winnipeg hockey dad has been convicted of attacking a rival parent and harassing two others in an embarrassing display following his 12-year-old son's game.
Paul Buchanan shook his head in disbelief Monday after being found guilty of assault, uttering threats to kill and criminal harassment for the December 2009 incident which has never been previously publicized.
"Am I facing jail time? All over a 12-year-old hockey game?" Buchanan said loudly in court following the verdict. "Thanks a lot," he added to nobody in particular.
Sentencing has been adjourned until early next year. Buchanan remains free on bail.
Both Crown and defence lawyers agreed on several facts of the case, including that Buchanan's son played for a Fort Garry minor hockey league team which had just won a league game against another team from the area. While the players were still in their dressing rooms, Buchanan got involved in a heated discussion with the father of a player on the losing team.
According to witnesses, Buchanan made a snide remark to the man about how poorly his losing team's defence had just played — a comment the other parent took personally since his son was a defenceman. The player in question had previously been on a team Buchanan coached, which prompted the boy's father to tell Buchanan he's glad his son was now on a different team.
The fight was now on. Witnesses claim Buchanan angrily shoved the man into a wall, shouting "I'm going to (expletive) kill you." Several other parents intervened, including a hockey mom who claimed Buchanan punched her in the breast.
Buchanan was escorted out of the arena but was waiting outside when the initial victim came outside. Another melee ensued, with Buchanan ending up at the bottom of the pile. Later that night, a drunk-sounding Buchanan emailed the other parent, saying "I'll hit you the next time, you weakling. I thought you were tough. Now I know. I'll be seeing you at your work very soon."
Buchanan also made more than a dozen phone calls to the woman who had intervened in the attack, despite the fact she repeatedly told him to stop calling. The woman and her partner eventually called police.
Buchanan testified in his own defence and admitted he may have overreacted with the phone calls, saying he suffers from "social anxiety" and consumed a 12-pack of beer later that night combined with some medication.
But he claimed he was simply "humiliated" by what happened and "wanted to make things right." He denied initiating the fight at the hockey rink, claiming he was just extending a friendly greeting when the other parent verbally and physically attacked him for no reason.
Judge Robert Heinrichs rejected his version of events Monday, saying it didn't ring true and was clearly self-serving in the face of overwhelming evidence.
"His behaviour spiralled out of control. His evidence on what happened that day is not accepted. The conduct was completely reckless on his part," said Judge Heinrichs.

India Approves Higher Gas Prices in Boost to Reliance, ONGC
India's cabinet agreed to increase the price of natural gas as it seeks to augment exploration of the clean-burning fuel. The decision will benefit Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL) and Oil & Natural Gas Corp. (ONGC)
The cabinet approved a pricing formula recommended in December by a panel led by Chakravarthy Rangarajan, chief of the prime minister's Economic Advisory Council, Oil Minister Veerappa Moily told reporters in New Delhi yesterday. Prices will double to $8.4 per million British thermal unit from $4.2 per million Btu starting April 2014, Press Trust of India reported, citing an official it didn't identify. A briefing on the decision and other steps endorsed by the cabinet will be held today.
Reliance, controlled by India's richest man Mukesh Ambani, and partner BP Plc (BP/) have been seeking higher prices of natural gas even as production from their field in India, the nation's biggest, has slumped in the past three years. The drop in output and aging ONGC fields has forced the country to import expensive gas that's contributed to a widening current account deficit and driving the rupee to a record low.
"This will encourage more investments in exploration and make smaller pools of gas economically viable to produce," said Neelabh Sharma, a Mumbai-based analyst at BOB Capital Markets Ltd. "Higher gas price will also increase cost of power generation and fertilizer production and the government will have to take care of that."
Reliance's shares climbed 3.3 percent to 830 rupees and ONGC gained 3.8 percent to 320.25 rupees in Mumbai yesterday. Oil India Ltd. (OINL), which also produces the fuel from fields in northeastern India, rose 1.9 percent to 572.15 rupees. The benchmark S&P BSE Sensex (SENSEX) advanced 1.8 percent.
Price Mix
Every $1 increase in the price of gas will make as much as 10 trillion cubic feet of natural gas economically viable to produce, Sharma said. India had 47 trillion cubic feet of proven gas reserves at the end of 2012, according to BP data.
Reliance has been selling gas from the KG-D6 block off India's east coast at $4.2 per million British thermal units since it started production in April 2009. The government more than doubled ONGC and Oil India's selling price to $4.2 per million Btu in May 2010.
A panel led by Rangarajan recommended rates in India should be an average of gas prices in the U.S., U.K. and import rates in Japan and India.
Output from the KG-D6 block slid more than 75 percent since 2010 as the reserves proved geologically difficult to recover. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is seeking to boost energy exploration and production and cut an import bill that widened the current account deficit to a record in the three months ended Dec. 31. The deficit narrowed to $18.1 billion in January through March, compared with $31.9 billion in the preceding three months, the Reserve Bank of India said yesterday.
Rupee Fall
The rupee has dropped 8.7 percent in 2013, the most after the Japanese yen among 11 major Asian currencies tracked by Bloomberg. It slumped to a record 60.7650 per dollar on June 26.
The government needs to allow higher selling prices to encourage explorers to produce more, said R.S. Sharma, chairman of the Federation of India Chambers of Commerce and Industry's Hydrocarbon Committee and a former chairman of ONGC.
State-run ONGC, which found reserves adjacent to Reliance's fields in the Bay of Bengal six years ago, has said deepwater drilling is not viable at current prices. Gujarat State Petroleum Corp. (GSPC), an explorer controlled by the Gujarat state government, is also developing a field in the area.

Noteworthy News and Research at the University of Miami
n an interview with The Miami Herald about hosting the first U.S. presidential debate of 2004, University President Donna E. Shalala said, "Our students will have the greatest bragging rights, when they go home for the holidays, of any students in the country." While it's true that "Bumping into [CNN anchor] Wolf Blitzer does something for you," quips sophomore business major Thomas Falconer, celebrity sightings are just one of the reasons September 30 was so momentous.
"We walked a lot taller the day after the most successful and historic event ever held on campus," says Alan Fish, vice president of Business Services, which coordinated food service; parking, transportation, and safety; furniture and equipment delivery; and other logistics. "That night 63 million people saw a seamless performance, and we are proud to have been a part of it."
More than 3,000 members of the media, the most ever credentialed for a presidential debate, set up shop at the Wellness Center, where they watched the showdown between President George W. Bush and Senator John Kerry at the Convocation Center and gained post-debate analysis from pundits in Spin Alley. More than 350,000 feet of newly laid cable in the Wellness and Convocation Centers enabled worldwide coverage via 50 network hubs.
"I never had a doubt we could do it," says Stewart Seruya, chief network officer of Information Technology's Department of Telecom-munications. "And it was on the heels of four hurricane threats and an extremely busy back-to-school period."
Inside the Convocation Center, 250 students—the most ever to watch a political debate live on a college campus—enjoyed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The ticket-holders were student leaders and debate essay contest winners. At the University Center, flanked by live broadcasts from MSNBC and CNN, the Debate Watch Party hosted 4,500 University students, faculty, and staff. Grammy winner Jill Scott and nominee Vanessa Carlton closed out the evening after midnight.
On television and in more than 350 daily papers the next day, the University received kudos for hosting a remarkable event, one that loomed nearly unfathomable less than a year prior. Upon being named a host by the Commission on Presidential Debates, the entire Univer-sity community rallied to create a rapid-fire itinerary themed "Celebrating American Democracy and Diversity."
The Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida was the primary underwriter of the event.
ust over a year ago, the University of Miami publicly launched its Momentum fundraising campaign at the $552 million mark. As of November 1, the University had reached more than $671 million toward its billion-dollar goal, logging some record-setting trends along the way.
Fiscal year 2004, which ended in May, brought in more than $125 million in private cash, gifts, and grants, an increase of 36 percent from the previous year. This includes a landmark $33 million gift from then-chairman of the Board of Trustees Phillip Frost and his wife Patricia, naming the Phillip and Patricia Frost School of Music. Following the Frosts' generous example, trustee annual participation reached 100 percent.
Contributions from 17,000-plus alumni last year boosted alumni giving by 35 percent, with gifts totaling more than $10 million.
Overall, 38,997 donors made 50,798 contributions last year to support the University's strategic priorities —scholarships for students, endowed chairs and professorships for world-class faculty, and state-of-the-art facilities for teaching, research, patient care, and student housing. One way the University recognizes the generosity of these individuals and organizations is in an Honor Roll listing, now available online.
Campaign fundraising this year received a jump start with a $10 million gift from Miguel (Mike) Fernandez, chairman and CEO of several Florida-based health care companies. The largest gift ever to the School of Business Administration, it supports construction of the Miguel B. Fernandez Family Entrepre-neurship Building, designed by architect Michael Graves.
University Listens to Students' Napster Needs
hen Shawn Fanning, reportedly nicknamed Napster as a reference to his hair, wrote the code for the most notorious Internet song-swapping program, he couldn't have anticipated the enormity of the two-year boom-bust cycle he would create. The freeware service went offline in 2001 after facing a copyright infringement lawsuit, but a new, legal version has been launched by Roxio, a digital media software company that purchased Napster last year. And through the diligent efforts of Student Government president Vance Aloupis, University of Miami students will have their Napster needs fulfilled.
"Napster will help promote concerts and attract musical artists to campus while also working with our student-run radio station, WVUM-FM, to make popular tracks available," says Aloupis, a political science major who persuaded the University administration to bring Napster to campus after he learned it was the students' top request.
Aloupis notes that the subscription-run service—which offers a 750,000-song catalog, commercial-free Internet radio stations, six decades of Billboard's historic chart information, and an online magazine—can be a valuable resource for music-related research and assignments. The University is not the first academic institution to sign on, but each institution's agreement for service is unique. Users can download an unlimited amount of music to their computer hard drives, but they must pay a fee if they want to transfer songs to a CD or MP3 player.
SPARE Yourself
"Almost half of all menopausal women in the United States at one point have tried using plant-derived estrogens, such as those found in soy products, but there have been no definitive long-term studies showing that these products work," says Silvina Levis, M.D., director of the Osteoporosis Center at the School of Medicine.
Levis is principal investigator of the SPARE Study, the longest, most extensive study of its kind on plant estrogens. SPARE, which stands for soy phytoestrogens as replacement estrogen, is a double-blind, placebo-controlled investigation of more than 300 women between the ages of 45 and 58 who are in their first five years of menopause. For two years participants will receive either tablets containing natural estrogens derived from soybeans or a pla-cebo pill. All women will receive a physical exam, yearly mammogram and bone density test, and monitoring of hormone, thyroid, and cholesterol levels. The Osteoporosis Center is recruiting participants for the study, which is sponsored by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases and the Office of Women's Health of the National Institutes of Health.

lamming your finger in a car door may cause nerve damage, not to mention a soliloquy of expletives from you. But with a little time, you're likely to regain full feeling and function in that finger. That's because peripheral nerves—those in your fingers, toes, and anywhere outside of your brain and spinal cord—are able to regenerate.
Paralysis, affecting more than 200,000 Americans a year, is caused by damage to the spinal cord, where nerves do not regenerate. In a landmark study at The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, scientists have used an innovative combination treatment to regrow nerve fibers in spinal cord-injured rats and restore up to 70 percent of their normal walking function. Researchers Mary Bartlett Bunge, Damien Pearse, and colleagues published the study in the June 2004 issue of Nature Medicine.
"To our knowledge, this is some of the best improvement we've seen," says W. Dalton Dietrich, scientific director of The Miami Project.
For more than 15 years at The Miami Project, Bunge, the Christine E. Lynn Distinguished Professor in Neuroscience, has been working with Schwann cells, which help peripheral nerves to grow. When transplanted into the central nervous system, Schwann cells build bridges that enable nerve fibers to grow across the area of injury. But in previous studies the fibers would always stop at the end of the bridge. Adding two agents—cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cyclic AMP) and Rolipram—enabled the fibers to con-tinue into and beyond the site of injury in the spinal cord. Cyclic AMP is a messenger molecule that encourages the nerve fiber growth, but it decreases significantly after spinal cord injury. Rolipram, an antidepressant that has been used to treat multiple sclerosis, prevents the breakdown of cyclic AMP. One week after bruising the spinal cord, the researchers injected two million Schwann cells into the injury site, then injected cyclic AMP above and below the injury site. Animals received Rolipram by subcutaneous infusion for two weeks, starting at the time of injury.
Twelve weeks after treatment, animals went "from taking an occasional step with the hind limbs to consistently stepping, developing coordination so the hind limbs knew what the forelimbs were doing, and being able to step on bars in a grid walk without the hind paws falling in between the bars," Bunge explains. Treated rats also showed 500 percent more nerve fibers in the injury area than control rats, though it is unclear which were regenerated versus protected by the treatment.
"It has been only since 1980 that scientists thought it was worth working on spinal cord injury. We have quite a bit of work to do before we can enter clinical trials," says Bunge, noting that further studies are needed to determine dosing regimen and safety, as well as to explore combinations with other experimental treatments such as steroids.
Another unanswered question is whether the three-pronged combination treatment would be effective for severed spinal cords; Bunge's and Pearse's study focused on contusion injuries.
ince the 1970s, micro-waves have revolutionized the way we pop our popcorn and heat our leftover pizza. Now pathologists at the School of Medicine are using microwaves to give patients their biopsy results in little more than an hour.
Azorides Morales, M.D., chairman of the Department of Pathology at the School of Medicine, and colleagues have invented rapid tissue processing, a system that uses specially designed microwaves to uniformly heat and prepare biopsy tissue for analysis. Traditional tissue processing requires a 14-step process that takes a minimum of 12 hours to complete and employs a large volume of toxic reagents, such as formalin, a known environmental toxin used in pathology since 1893. "Formalin also destroys RNA, precluding the use of tests required to meet the ever-increasing demands of nuclear medicine," Morales says. Rapid tissue processing takes 67 minutes and uses fewer and far less-toxic reagents.
"Imagine coming to the hospital and knowing your diagnosis and having a treatment plan before you go home," says Gary Margules, assistant provost and director of the Office of Technology Transfer.
Following seven years of development at the University of Miami and its Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, the system, called Tissue-Tek Xpress, is for sale to hospitals and labs around the country. Morales holds numerous patents on the process, alone and jointly with father-and-son Venezuelan colleagues Ervin Essenfeld, M.D., and Harold Essenfeld, M.D. Sakura Finetek USA, Inc., is the licensed manufacturer of Tissue-Tek Xpress, which Margules projects will boost the University into the top 14 percent of universities involved in technology transfer.
"This is a remarkable accomplishment," says Margules, "but the difference it will make in patients' lives is the greatest reward."
Honoring a Visionary
he White House recently honored 57 rising research stars with the Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE). The only Floridian standing among the recipients was Valery I. Shestopalov, assistant professor of ophthalmology at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute.
"This is a unique gathering of young people who started their research at the cutting-edge of science," Shestopalov says. "It was exciting to realize that I am part of this group."
The PECASE program, established in 1996 by President Bill Clinton, is the highest honor bestowed annually by the U.S. government on scientists and engineers who are in the early stages of establishing their careers. Nominated by the National Eye Institute of the National Institutes of Health, Shestopalov has discovered key details about the structure of the crystalline lens of the eye. Collaborating with Steven Bassnett at Washington University in St. Louis, Shestopalov learned that lens cells fuse together in a scaffold called a syncytium, which delivers a supply line of nutrients from surrounding eye fluids. Vision through the clear ocular lens is possible only because its cells lack the opaque organelles that provide nourishment in other types of cells. Recent experiments in Shestopalov's laboratory at the Evelyn F. and William L. McKnight Vision Research Center have suggested that disruption of the lens syncytium plays a role in cataract formation, a major cause of blindness.
arlos Llinas, junior political science major and president of the University's Model United Nations (MUN) club, remembers the thrill of being in the same room as UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan at a model UN conference at The Hague. He was attending high school at The American School of Madrid at the time. "It was like seeing Bon Jovi," Llinas describes. "People were throwing themselves to grab his hand. Security was going crazy."
This memory ranks second only to the thrill that Llinas and 13 of his MUN teammates experienced this April at the Great Hall of the United Nations in New York City, where they surpassed more than 200 international universities for one of six top Outstanding Delegation awards. Not bad for the University's third visit to the National Model United Nations conference, a competition that dates back to 1946, a year after the creation of the United Nations.
"We screamed so loud and started doing the 'Canes cheer while we were still in session," Llinas says. "You feel proud. You are in a chamber where you are showing the University of Miami to the rest of the world."
The University's 14 delegates represented the island state of Cyprus, a strategic choice for the team because as a divided nation applying for European Union status, it had been "a major UN topic," Llinas says. He explains that winning the competition requires becoming a leading voice in the general assembly and applying diplomacy behind the scenes to get resolutions passed. "You have to know your country and how to play the game. The real politics goes on in places we don't see on TV—in the hallways of the hotel or out to dinner with delegates. You'd talk about forming a coalition between your countries, then the conversation would switch to MTV."
To prepare, the team spent about 15 hours a week for more than six months researching policies and issues of Cyprus, learning parliamentary procedure, improving their public speaking skills, and practicing how to write resolutions and position papers. They received guidance from faculty advisor Pete Moore, assistant professor of political science in the School of Business Administration and an expert in Middle East politics, as well as guest speakers from political and academic organizations.
The University began sending a team of students to the national conference in 2002, but this was the first team derived from a student-driven MUN club at the University. Last November the club held the first campus-wide UN simulation, 'Canes Conference, which this year is open to students at ten Florida colleges and universities.
As president, Llinas is working to increase participation in MUN. "It's for those who really want to know what's going on in the world and who think their opinion means something."
n an island in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, two regimes are caught in a 30-year struggle over sovereignty. Tensions begin to ease, and the Green Line that has divided Cyprus for so long softens just enough for the Greek and Turkish sides to begin peaceful contact. Meeting in a buffer zone at the office of the Fulbright Commission, one of the first groups to make such strides was the nursing community.
"The Fulbright Association is particularly astute and very sensitive to the role that nursing can play," says Doris Ugarriza, M.S.N. '81, associate professor in the School of Nursing and Fulbright scholar in Cyprus from August 2003 to January 2004. "Nursing can transcend sociopolitical boundaries in a way that other disciplines can't."
A clinical specialist in adult psychiatric nursing, Ugarriza also has expertise in multicultural nursing. She answered a call from the Fulbright Commission for a senior scholar to teach nurses in Cyprus about the cultural differences of people that could impact delivery of health care.
"People have beliefs on what causes illness, and the biomedical model has a belief about what causes illness, and these beliefs change all the time," Ugarriza explains.
Ugarriza spoke to hundreds of nurses on both sides of the Green Line, aided by an interpreter on the Turkish side, about how to acknowledge their own beliefs and the beliefs of their patients, then to "broker" them with the biomedical and nursing models of care. Along the way she helped unite two nursing Ph.D. candidates: a Greek Cypriot commuting to Athens for her studies and a Turkish Cypriot commuting to Ankara for hers.
"I would like to say that I made a difference when I was there, but they really made a difference for me too. Fulbright is one of these critical organizations that really work to get us closer to world peace."

Atlanta Braves Trade Rumors: Team Could Make Playoffs Without Brian McCannJuly 30, 2013
The Atlanta Braves don't need Brian McCann to make the postseason this year.
Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports reports that the Texas Rangers called Atlanta about the team's starting catcher, but the Braves weren't interested in giving him up. While McCann has been solid behind the plate this season, it wouldn't be the end of the world if the team traded him, and it wouldn't impact their playoff hopes.
The Braves entered Monday riding a three-game winning streak, and also sit atop the NL East standings by 8.5 games. No one in the division is going to catch Atlanta the way the team has been playing recently—and this season. Even if the team suffered a long slump, the Braves would still likely win the division crown.
McCann has been a big part of the team's success. Through 62 games, he's hitting .284/.368/.517 with 13 home runs and 35 RBI. But while he's been good offensively and defensively, the Braves are going to have to find a spot for Evan Gattis once B.J. Upton comes off the disabled list.
Sure, Upton hasn't played well at all in 2013, but he's still going to be starting in left field once he's healthy. That doesn't leave a position for Gattis to play on a daily basis. And he's been too good to come off the bench. Through 64 games, he's hitting .259/.314/.537 with 15 homers and 39 RBI.
There's no reason why the Braves couldn't trade McCann to the Rangers and have Gattis catch each night. Gerald Laird is more than capable of backing him up, as he's been outstanding even though he hasn't played too often. He's only played in 28 games but is still batting .293/.384/.400 this season.
The Rangers could use an upgrade at the designated hitter position in the lineup and potentially at catcher as well. McCann and A.J. Pierzynski could split time behind the plate and being the designated hitter, as Lance Berkman is currently on the 15-day disabled list with hip inflammation. McCann would be an ideal fit for Texas.
A factor in all of this is that McCann's contract is set to expire at the end of the season. Rosenthal notes that he'll likely be out of the Braves' price range. It's fine to try to squeeze the last bit of juice out of him before he hits free agency, but why shouldn't Atlanta try to get something in return for him while it still can?
The Braves need to find a replacement for Tim Hudson in the starting rotation whether they want to admit it or not. The bullpen is taken care of now that the team acquired Scott Downs from the Angels, per the team's official Twitter account. So, here's the ideal scenario, which may be a pipe dream.
Atlanta should trade prospects to acquire one of the better starting pitchers on the market before Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET. If the Braves can pull that off, they can deal McCann to the Rangers to try to get some talent back in their minor league system . Completing one big deal with Texas won't work out.
Texas just traded for Matt Garza, as it needed some starting pitching as well. The Rangers don't have much pitching talent in the lower levels of their organization and it would seem unlikely they'd give up one of their current big league starters. A third team has to be involved in all of this.
In that scenario, the Braves get the pitcher they need and are still fine behind the plate. Gattis can take the team to the postseason and Atlanta likely wouldn't even notice that McCann was gone. The franchise may want to hang onto him for the rest of the year, but the team has to know that it doesn't really need him.

Disorders Of Consciousness
- Disorders of consciousness (KON-shus-nes) are conditions where the state of awareness or wakefulness is disturbed. Consciousness is normally controlled by different parts of the brain. These systems keep a person alert and aware of himself and his environment. Disorders of consciousness may include coma, vegetative state, minimally conscious state, akinetic mutism, and delirium. These may be caused by head trauma or conditions causing a decreased oxygen supply in the brain. Certain medicines, drugs, and alcohol may also have effects on the brain and may affect consciousness.
- Signs and symptoms will depend on how bad the patient's consciousness is affected. As time passes, the patient may shift from one state of consciousness to another. Other signs and symptoms may also be present pointing to the cause of the condition. A detailed health history of the patient and a complete physical exam is needed to diagnose a disorder of consciousness. Blood tests, urine tests, and different imaging tests may also be needed. Treatment will depend on the cause of the disorder of consciousness. This may include medicines and other measures to support the patient. With treatment and care, further problems may be prevented.
- Keep a written list of the medicines to take, the amounts, and when and why they are given. Bring the list of these medicines or the pill bottles when you see his caregivers. Do not give the patient any medicines, over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, herbs, or food supplements without first talking to his caregivers.
- Always give the medicine as directed by the patient's caregivers. Call his caregivers if you think the medicines are not helping or giving him side effects. Do not stop giving the medicines until you discuss it with the patient's caregiver.
Ask for information about where and when to go for follow-up visits:
For continuing care, treatments, or home services, ask for more information.
Respiratory care:
- Chest physiotherapy: This is also called CPT. It is used to loosen up the sputum (mucus) in the lungs and help the patient breathe easier. CPT is done by tapping over the patient's ribs (chest, back, and side). Once the fluid is loosened, the patient may need to cough it up. If he cannot cough it up, suction may be used to remove it.
- Deep breathing and coughing: If possible, have the patient breathe deeply and cough. Deep breathing opens the tubes going to the lungs. Coughing helps to bring up sputum from the lungs to be spit out. An incentive spirometer may be used to help the patient take deeper breaths.
- Suction: A small tube is used to help suck out the mucus in the patient's mouth, nose, and lungs. This tube will be inserted in the mouth or nose. Suction may need to be done more than once to make sure all of the mucus is out.
Skin care:
A special mattress called an egg crate or air mattress may be put on the patient's bed. The patient will need to be turned often if he cannot move by himself. Turning often will keep him from getting bed sores.
A physical therapist and an occupational therapist may exercise the patient's arms, legs, and hands. They may also teach new ways to do things around the house. A speech therapist may work with the patient to help him talk or swallow.
- The patient has a high body temperature.
- The patient develops new symptoms.
- You are having trouble with any of the patient's exercises.
- You see a pressure sore on the patient's skin.
- You have questions or concerns about the patient's condition, medicine, or care.
- The patient's blood pressure is higher than his caregiver suggests.
- The patient has trouble breathing.
- The patient is sweating a lot.
- The patient's lips or fingernails turn blue or white in color.

Nº 1 2013 > Cloud economics
The clouds economic clout
Personal data have huge commercial value, to the extent that they are now being talked about as the new oil.
The ability to transfer personal data internationally is a vital component of the globalized economy, like international flows of capital and international trade, and should receive the same attention.
According to ITU's latest report Trends in Telecommunication Reform 2013, "The challenge for policy-makers is to balance the commercial need and individual desire for free flow of information with informed knowledge and effective control by individuals of their personal information. Clear and consistent policies need to be developed based upon current and prospective technologies. The opportunities for growth and development should not be hindered by unnecessary regulatory barriers, administrative burdens or choice of law or applicable jurisdiction issues."
This article ( like the article https://itunews.itu.int/En/3412-Data-protection-and-privacy-in-the-cloudBR-Whose-cloud-is-it-anyway.note.aspx) is adapted from "The Cloud: Data Protection and Privacy — Whose cloud is it anyway?", a chapter authored by Stephanie Liston, Senior Counsel, Charles Russell LLP and the chapter on, "Demystifying Regulation in the Cloud: Opportunities and Challenges for Cloud Computing", by Professor Ian Walden, Queen Mary, University of London and Baker & McKenzie. Both are part of Trends in Telecommunication Reform 2013.
In this article, we highlight the cloud's economic importance. But first we consider some definitions of the cloud.
What is the cloud?
Fast and resilient communication networks have made it possible to shift applications and data from personal computers onto remote servers. This trend in networked computing is loosely called "cloud computing" — an umbrella term used to describe a range of different technologies and market offers.
Cloud computing (or, more simply, the cloud) has been defined in various ways. ITU, for example, describes it as "A model for enabling service users to have ubiquitous, convenient and on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service-provider interaction. Cloud computing enables cloud services."
Some people define the cloud as the use of virtual servers available on the Internet, others as anything consumed outside a firewall (including conventional outsourcing). And cloud computing has been compared to the supply of utilities such as gas and electricity. A definition that captures the essence of cloud computing is that it "provides flexible, location-independent access to computing resources that are quickly and seamlessly allocated or released in response to demand".
Services (especially infrastructure) are abstracted and typically virtualized, generally being allocated from a pool shared as a fungible resource with other customers. Charging is commonly on an access basis, often in proportion to the resources used.
Cloud service models
There are three primary types of cloud computing service models:
Infrastructure as a service (IaaS): A cloud-based virtual server providing networking and storage services and other infrastructure services. The customer does not manage or control the data centre but may have control over data or operating systems (for example, Amazon web service).
Platform as a service (PaaS): Where customers can use their own applications on the cloud service provider's infrastructure. The customer can control data, applications and part of the hosting environment.
Software as a service (SaaS): Customers access the cloud service provider's applications through the Internet. This is the most common form of cloud services, used by Facebook, webmail and other social-networking sites.
Existing service models have been described as private cloud, community cloud, public cloud or hybrid cloud.
Private cloud refers to infrastructure owned by or operated for the benefit of one (typically large) customer. It can be located on or off the customer's premises.
Community cloud refers to infrastructure owned by or operated for a number of organizations on a shared basis. It supports a limited group of users, such as governments, that have common interests.
Public cloud refers to infrastructure shared among a variety of users with no particular set of interests. It is sometimes described as "multi-tenanted". The infrastructure is owned by the organization selling cloud services.
Hybrid cloud refers to infrastructure and services that incorporate two or more of the above. An example would be a bank operating a private cloud for sensitive data and putting other data into the public cloud to lower costs and extend capacity.
The benefits
The demand for data storage is expanding dramatically with the exponential growth in data production, digital stores, digital libraries, digital archives, and usage and retention requirements. The use of cloud services by individuals (webmail, social networking sites, e‑commerce) is now part of everyday life in an increasing number of countries. Cloud services are used for wholesale or trade purposes, as well as for personal consumption.
In 2011, the market for IaaS was worth USD 1 billion, and is estimated to be worth about USD 7 billion in 2013. PaaS grew from USD 2 billion to around an estimated USD 8 billion, while SaaS was worth USD 15 billion and is estimated to reach USD 17.5 billion this year.
E-commerce brings people and businesses together internationally, and has the potential to drive economic growth. Governments can bring enormous social benefits to citizens through e‑learning and e‑health. Although there are infrastructure challenges in the developing world, such as lack of broadband access as well as power shortages and outages, the potential to use cloud services to increase educational opportunities and spread health benefits is vast.
Cloud computing is a technology "game changer". European Commission Vice-President, Neelie Kroes, recognized cloud services, along with e‑health and connected television, as offering huge benefits for citizens and businesses, and an overall boost to the European economy.
Cisco has produced a global cloud index. The company predicts that "Annual global cloud IP traffic will reach 1.6 zettabytes by the end of 2015" and that "Global cloud IP traffic will account for more than one-third (34 per cent) of total data centre traffic by 2015."
In terms of revenue, the global cloud computing market is forecast to grow 22 per cent annually to USD 241 billion by 2020.
The International Data Corporation (IDC) predicts that the amount of information and content created and stored digitally will grow from 1.8 zettabytes in 2011 to over 7 zettabytes by 2015. Cloud computing is just the latest technological development driven by this expansion.
The commercial advantages of cloud services include lower costs of providing information technology services, access to a wide range of applications (without having to download or install anything), availability of access anytime and anywhere, and flexibility to accommodate changing demand because customers only pay for the services they take.

How to cope with a break-up...change your hair
Michelle Williams debuts new shaved side hairstyle
There's nothing like a break-up to shake up your look. Michelle Williams recently split from boyfriend Jason Segel and decided to give herself a hair makeover to mark the occasion. The beautiful actress debuted her edgy new haircut in New York last night at the launch of the Kate Young for Target Launch held at St. Patrick's Old Cathedral.
The 32-year-old's undercut hairstyle included a sweeping side parting that pulled her blonde locks over to one side of her face. Michelle's blonde crop has become her signature look, but she recently joked that it can become "insufferable" when it's 'in between' lengths. She said that the phase can be "hard on your self-esteem."
"I'm happy to not have anything looming [work-wise]—I'm really working on growing my hair out. Michelle and Jason split in February after nearly two years together and are said to have given in to the demands of a long-distance relationship. Michelle lives in Brooklyn with her daughter Matilda, 7, while Jason is based in Los Angeles, where his sitcom How I Met Your Mother is filmed.
The A-list couple were said to be completely smitten with one another and Jason had begun to bond with Matilda, Michelle's daughter from her relationship with the late Heath Ledger. But when it came to the details of their romance, they were incredibly private.
Segel opened up slightly last year, simply saying: "I think we would just very much like to be happy. That's all I'm going to say about it."

Jesus said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho,
when he fell into the hands of robbers.
They stripped him of his clothes, beat him
and went away, leaving him half dead.
A priest happened to be going down the same road,
and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.
So too, a Levite [religious leader],
when he came to the place and saw him,
passed by on the other side.
But a Samaritan [Samaritans and Jews generally disliked
and were suspicious of each other] came where the man was;
and when he saw him, he took pity on him.
He went to him and bandaged his wounds ... and ...
took him to an inn and took care of him. ...
Jesus [said] "Go and do likewise."

Preventing Functions from Being Moved
When defining functions using the Quotes screen's Functions view, a user can prevent other users from moving the function to an alternative function space by using the Do Not Move flag. The Do Not Move Flag check box is cleared by default, which means that other users can typically move functions as required, subject to time and space availability.
The Do Not Move Flag check box is only enabled if the reserved primary function space is a specific space. If the booking is for a category, the Do Not Move Flag check box is read-only. If a user tries to change the Function Space value to a category after the Do Not Move check box has been selected, a message is displayed, asking for confirmation. If the user clicks OK, the Do Not Move Flag check box is cleared and the booking is changed to a category.
NOTE: The handling of bookings with the Do Not Move flag can vary depending on configuration carried out by the administrator. See Configuring the Do Not Move Flag for more information.
In the diary views, bookings that cannot be moved because of this flag are indicated with a padlock icon. Using query assistant, a search can be performed to locate bookings with the Do Not Move flag.

Since at least the 1960s, living life at height has enjoyed – or suffered – mixed reviews.
Post-war high-rises, originally meant to be "streets in the sky", all too often turned out to be upright slums.
And yet – as ever in the property world – location was everything; high buildings didn't have to mean low expectations.
In fact, then as now, if you build high in a sought-after area, with great views, you end up with some of the most desirable property in town. Just ask Donald Trump.
The epitome of high-class, high-rise living is the penthouse. Often with a separate lift, and with no-one above you, the penthouse has been a by-word for urban glamour ever since "living life at the top" was "invented" in 1920s New York.
In the Harrogate district, there are few high-rises – or "purpose-built apartment blocks" – and even fewer penthouses.
The following four properties are all at the top (or very nearly) of their respective buildings and crucially, all command superb views.
Number 121 Park Place is at the very top of one of the tallest buildings in Harrogate.
The 12th-floor Park Parade apartment has two bedrooms and has recently been refurbished throughout.
On the ground floor, it has a small lockable store and a single garage with remote-controlled door, as well as access to communal facilities such as the laundry and gardens.
To say it has fantastic Stray views is something of an understatement; from up here you can see right across the Vale of York to the Hambleton Hills.
In fact, you might also be able to wave to the owners of 7 Byron Court, on Beech Grove.
This two-bedroom flat is on the fifth floor of a six-floor building that stands in one of the best locations in town.
The centre of the apartment has been opened out to create a large living area (about 37' x 24'), which includes a lounge area overlooking West Park Stray and leading onto a good-sized balcony.
It also has a sophisticated lighting system, with downlighters controlled from a central console.
Outside, it has a large double garage and access to the communal gardens.
Number 16 Micklethwaite Steps is not a penthouse either, but it is on the upper floor of one of the most elevated buildings in Wetherby centre.
Perched high above the River Wharfe, it has enviable views across the weir and towards the bridge, bandstand and town centre.
It has two bedrooms, and its master bedroom has double doors opening onto a balcony overlooking the river.
Finally, 26 Esplanade Court, on St Mary's Walk in Harrogate, is a true penthouse apartment, with all the luxury the term implies.
The three-bedroom property has underfloor heating, full-height windows, sun deck, double garage and a bespoke spiral staircase leading to the upper levels.
Importantly, it also has stunning panoramic views of Low Harrogate, across the Stray and the Montpellier Quarter towards Bettys and the town centre.

By Brian Goodlander
The USSF has publications to guide referees in defining a trifling infraction (some know that as a no-call), a foul, a yellow card or cautionable offense and a red card or sending-off offense. I think of those as the ladder of misconduct. Players may climb the ladder one rung at a time or they may vault themselves to the top rung. Key words (trifling, careless, reckless and excessive force) define the rungs of the ladder.
On The ground (Trifling). The USSF Advice to Referees provides help on decision-making for fouls that you consider trifling. Advice states that you have the duty and responsibility to avoid needless stoppages for trifling fouls. For example, A9 has the ball and B2 throws out a leg in an unsuccessful attempt to trip A9. No contact is made and A9 need only vary the movements to completely avoid the awkward attempt. By definition, that is a foul (trip or attempting to trip) but it has no impact on the match. Acting on the Advice, referees should not stop play. B2 has figuratively stepped up to the ladder but has not yet scaled a single rung.
The lower rungs (Careless). Free kicks are given for 10 direct free kick or eight indirect free kick offenses. Six of the direct free kicks require contact that can be careless, reckless or use excessive force. The remaining four direct free kick offenses and all indirect free kicks are non-contact offenses. A careless foul is an unintentional or accidental foul resulting from a lack of skill. Those fouls are common in youth play, particularly younger groups. Using our above example, if B2 reaches out to try to reach the ball but, due to a lack of skill or experience, trips A9 to a point that A9 can no longer play the ball, the referee should stop play and award a direct free kick at the point of the foul for team A. This time, B2 has taken the first step up the ladder of misconduct.
The middle rungs (Reckless). For the six contact direct free kick fouls, escalating from careless to reckless pushes the player up to the middle rungs of the ladder. Reckless involves a deliberate intent to foul the player as an attempt to disrupt play. The referee must first determine if a foul has occurred — and then whether there was sufficient skill possessed by the player to avoid the foul. Reckless fouls warrant a caution (show a yellow card). At a minimum, the offenses deserve a public scolding for the misbehavior. Back to our example, A9 has beaten B2 and B2, realizing that the goal is now exposed, reaches out with a foot to trip A9, stopping A9 from progressing toward the goal.
The top rung (Excessive Force). The final rungs are reserved for players who perform a contact foul with excessive force. Those are especially heinous fouls that must be promptly and effectively punished with a send-off (show a red card). Excessive force involves not only a reckless attempt but also the player demonstrates a desire to harm or injure the opponent they are fouling. Excessive force often results from frustration, anger and retribution against players that have caused them embarrassment or injury. If our example, B2 has been beaten by A9 repeatedly, and is determined to stop A9 by any means. B2 vents his frustration by not only tripping A9 but also exposes his cleats and goes over the ball with intent to send a message or injure A9. B2 must be sent-off. B2 has risen to the top of the ladder and now must step off the field of play.
The slippery rungs (Advantage). Most decisions made by a referee involve gray areas. The proper application is a perfect tool for handling gray areas for fouls and misconduct. The Laws provide referees with chances to use advantage — yet still allows referees to return to the player who committed the foul and penalize misconduct, if warranted. Once again, A9 beats B2. B2 trips A9 in a reckless manner. A9 stumbles but manages to stay upright and maintain possession of the ball with open space ahead. The referee should elect to signal advantage and shout, "Play on!" The referee must also remember B2's number and return to B2 at the next stoppage to deliver a caution. Remember, referees may not administer the card if they allowed play to be restarted with their permission.
Soccer is a contact sport that involves considerable emotion and passion by players, coaches, fans and referees. Sometimes that emotion results in misconduct that referees must assess. USSF has provided language to guide you to the proper decision. You must determine where on the ladder of misconduct the offense is — and act accordingly.

UnNews, Internet - Secret recordings made of Iranians meeting secretly has secretly revealed that they've been secretly planning to secretly attack the interwebs -- starting with the main site for uncovering its wicked ways, UnNews
When asked for an interview, Iranian spokesmen Allah was evidently "Not available for infidels", according to Bahá'í death squad member, Sigmund Freud. After he raked the lobby at the offices at Iran's official PodCast, The Farsi Parser, with machine gun fire, Dr. Freud took to the streets of Tehran, searching for babies to kill and eat.
We were, however, able to secretly ask admins of Uncyclopedia Commons of what comments they had on this secret situation -- Keitei had this to say: "Blahblahblah". That's what I think of it."

Jay Z Nabs Nine Grammy Nominations With Timberlake Assist
Jay Z received nine Grammy nominations, the most of any artist, while "Get Lucky" performers Daft Punk and pop singer Taylor Swift will vie for album of the year.
Jay Z, born Shawn Carter, has 17 Grammy awards, the music industry's top honor. He was nominated yesterday for songwriting, solo performances and collaborations with wife Beyonce and Justin Timberlake, during a CBS telecast from Los Angeles.
The nominations, which featured live performances from Robin Thicke and tag-popping rappers Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, stoke interest ahead of the awards on Jan. 26, and lead to higher music sales, said David Bakula, a senior vice president at researcher Nielsen. Rapper LL Cool J hosted the event, which had remote performances from Katy Perry and Swift.
"There are so many people sitting at home who aren't record buyers 51 weeks out of the year," Bakula said. "Once people see those performances it energizes a lot of people to go out and buy some music."
Jay Z, 44, was nominated for best rap album for "Magna Carta...Holy Grail," and top rap song, for "Holy Grail." His duets with Timberlake, who received seven nominations, and Beyonce will compete for best rap/sung collaboration.
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, whose hit "Thrift Shop" celebrates second-hand bargains, rapper Kendrick Lamar and producer/rapper Pharrell Williams also received seven nominations each, including best new artist for Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and for Lamar.
'Random Memories'
The awards, handed out annually by the Santa Monica, California-based Recording Academy, will be telecast by CBS Corp. (CBS)'s network from L.A.'s Staples Center. LL Cool J used last night's show to pay tribute to former South African President Nelson Mandela, who died on Dec. 5.
In the Album of the Year category, Swift's "Red" and Daft Punk, with "Random Access Memories," are joined by singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles's "The Blessed Unrest," Lamar's "Good Kid, M.A.A.D City," and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis's "The Heist."
Thicke's "Blurred Lines" is the year's top-selling single with 6.3 million copies, Bakula said. "Thrift Shop" follows with 6.1 million copies and Imagine Dragons' "Radioactive" came in with 5.3 million units, Bakula said.
"Blurred Lines," "Get Lucky" and "Radioactive" are among those nominated for record of the year, which recognizes a track's artists, engineers and producers. Lorde's "Royals" and Bruno Mars' "Locked Out of Heaven" round out the category.
Timberlake Tour
Mars, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Lorde, Katy Perry and Pink will compete for song of the year, an award that is given for songwriting.
Timberlake, who leads album sales this year, released "The 20/20 Experience" ahead of a summer tour and a second album with the same name few months later.
"The way he released two albums that bookended his summer tour was very, very smart," Bakula said.
Lorde, a 17-year-old musician from New Zealand, broke through this year with the album "Royals," which gave a female artist the first No. 1 ranking on the rock charts since Tracy Bonham in 1997, Bakula said.
"Lorde's is an amazing story in a genre that hasn't been a place for female artists, let alone 17 a year old, for a very long time," Bakula said.
Dance Music
Riding a wave of popularity fueled by electronic dance music festivals, Daft Punk sold 840,000 copies of "Random Access Memories" in six months, Bakula said.
"Electronic dance music is this big and growing side of the business," Bakula said. "A lot of people brought into that genre of music were looking for something new just as Daft Punk released its album."
The industry is down to three major record companies. Vivendi SA (VIV)'s Universal Music Group acquired EMI's recorded music business last year. An investor group led by Sony Corp. (6758), owner of Sony Music Entertainment, acquired EMI's publishing business. In 2011, billionaire Len Blavatnik acquired Warner Music Group.
Artists who released albums between Oct. 1, 2012, and Sept. 30, 2013, are eligible for the 56th Annual Grammys. Ballots are due Jan. 8, when they will be tabulated ahead of the awards show, according to the Recording Academy.
NOMINEES IN TOP CATEGORIES: ALBUM OF THE YEAR: * "The Blessed Unrest" - Sara Bareilles * "Random Access Memories" - Daft Punk * "Good Kid, M.A.A.D City" - Kendrick Lamar * "The Heist" - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis * "Red" - Taylor Swift RECORD OF THE YEAR: * "Get Lucky" - Daft Punk & Pharrell Williams * "Radioactive" - Imagine Dragons * "Royals" - Lorde * "Locked Out of Heaven" - Bruno Mars * "Blurred Lines" - Robin Thicke featuring T.I. & Pharrell Williams SONG OF THE YEAR: * "Just Give Me A Reason" - Jeff Bhasker, Pink & Nate Ruess, songwriters (Pink featuring Nate Ruess) * "Locked Out of Heaven" - Philip Lawrence, Ari Levine & Bruno Mars, songwriters (Bruno Mars) * "Roar" - Lukasz Gottwald, Max Martin, Bonnie McKee, Katy Perry & Henry Walter, songwriters (Katy Perry) * "Royals" - Joel Little & Ella Yelich O'Connor, songwriters (Lorde) * "Same Love" - Ben Haggerty, Mary Lambert & Ryan Lewis, songwriters (Macklemore & Ryan Lewis featuring Mary Lambert) BEST NEW ARTIST: * James Blake * Kendrick Lamar * Macklemore & Ryan Lewis * Kacey Musgraves * Ed Sheeran
