Wow, no kidding, thanks for sharing this article...

Yes, indeed, long time! LOL

Yes, not missing something...
yes, they do and yes it's ok...

It depends on the context of sentence and what you are saying.

If spelling then palm faced outward. if number then inward. still ok if outward when not spelling for example some would sign "age two" with palm facing outward.

*bump*

Hi Michelle, Welcome to Deaf Online!

I don't recommend pasting the email addresses in the body of post, you are exposing to spammer which they will harvest. I have removed and I recommend that members contact you by sending email thru DOL by clicking on your name and go from there.

Redundant posts are not needed, just one topic would do and one section would do.

For your information, I have deleted one of your redundant topics and moved to proper section that is related to captioning.

Dana, no need to create redundant topics in different section. ONE topic one section is sufficient enough!

DOL members will click "View New Posts" above at top and see your topic so we don't need to see 4 topics about SAME thing. Thanks!

Today is the 7th year running of Deaf Online!

Thanks for your continued visits and lurking!

The update/upgrade hasn't begun yet but postponed to sometime this month.

Thanks to all for becoming member of DOL and really hope you will continue to stop by here again.

Cheers!

FDA Reaches Settlement with California Hearing Device Maker

FDA Reaches Settlement with California Hearing Device Maker

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has reached a settlement with California hearing device manufacturer Advanced Bionics LLC and its president and CEO Jeffrey Greiner over alleged violations of federal law. The alleged violations involved the failure to notify the FDA of a change of outside supplier or vendor, which may have exposed patients to unnecessary health risks, such as device failure and surgery.

Under the terms of the settlement, agreed to on July 14, 2008, Advanced Bionics will pay a civil money penalty of $1.1 million. Greiner will pay $75,000.

On July 7, 2003, Advanced Bionics received FDA approval to market the HiRes90k Implantable Cochlear Stimulator, an implant surgically placed under the skin behind the ear to treat profound hearing loss in some adults and children. The FDA regulates cochlear implants as Class III devices—the most stringent regulatory category for medical devices.

The FDA’s complaint against Advanced Bionics, filed November 2007 and amended July 7, 2008, alleges that Advanced Bionics shipped cochlear implants to customers in the United States without first filing appropriate supplemental information with the FDA, including notice of a change of a component supplier. The failure to submit supplemental information prevented the FDA from being able to evaluate the potential impact of the changes on the safety and effectiveness of the device.

As a result, the FDA considered those devices—shipped to health care providers across the country after the company changed suppliers—to be adulterated, as they were no longer covered by the agency’s original product approval, granted in 2003.

In March 2006, Advanced Bionics conducted a recall of the unimplanted devices containing components from the unapproved supplier, because of excessive moisture that could leak into the devices and cause device failure and possible surgery.

The FDA’s complaint also stated that two devices containing the component from the unapproved supplier were shipped by Advanced Bionics after the March 2006 recall and subsequently implanted in patients.

Advanced Bionics and Greiner agreed to settle the complaint without admitting liability, and must remit payment to the U.S. Treasury within 10 days of settlement.

Advanced Bionics LLC, is based in Sylmar, Calif.

Bicycling it isn’t always easy. Busy streets, honking horns, and inadequate city funding for bike lanes and paths can make bicycling an uphill battle. However, with green in the news, the economy in a slump, and summer on its way, it’s getting easier to find reasons why there are some 1.4 billion bicycles and only about 400 million cars in the world today.

Performance,

Please do not make redundant or duplicate threads on DOL. Once is good enough... Thank you! Other duplicates has been deleted.

Dear Friends of the documentary film, "Hear and Now":


"Hear and Now" is currently airing through June 22 on HBO.


Because of the popularity and critical acclaim of the film, dubious sellers
on the internet are claiming they can sell you a DVD of Hear and Now.
*Please note that any sale of the Hear and Now DVD currently on the internet
is a scam and you will not get the DVD you pay for. It is illegal to both
manufacture and purchase pirated DVDs. As a consumer, purchasing a DVD
through unlicensed vendors is not only against the law, it hurts films and
filmmakers.



The film will be released for institutional distribution (universities,
schools, research and medical centers) in June 2008 and released for Home
Video purchase and rental in early 2009. Please stay updated by visiting
the official Vermilion Films website to learn more about Hear and Now,
