CLEVELAND – LeBron James said it again. He told reporters how he`s not a scorer. Funny, from the man who is the NBA`s all-time leading playoff scorer and who on Monday passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the league`s all-time playoff leader in made field goals. James scored 44 points on 17-for-28 shooting as the Cavaliers defeated Boston 111-102 in Game 4 on Monday, tying the best-of-7 Eastern Conference finals at 2-all. He now has 2,368 made baskets in the playoffs, 12 more than Abdul-Jabbar and nearly 200 more than Michael Jordan. (We all know James has played more playoff games than Jordan – but not more than Abdul-Jabbar). [Listen, any time I'm in the same breath with the greats, I know you guys hear me say it over and over, it's just humbling," James said. He likes to say that, too, how much it`s an honor just to hear his name mentioned with Hall of Famers.

As you get more into track days and your pace starts to increase you will no doubt think about investing in various items to make your experiences on track easier and/or more enjoyable. One of the most popular first investments for track riders is motorcycle tyre warmers. Tyre warmers do exactly what they say on the tin – they warm tyres. They`re used to get some initial heat in both the tyre and the rim before heading out on track. This is beneficial for a number of reasons. The Benefits of Tyre Warmers While they won`t bring the tyres up to full operating temperature, having some heat built up deep in the carcass of the tyre will save time early on in a session because you won`t have to take as long building up your speed. This initial heat will also give you a sort of safety net and reduce the risk of having a cold tyre crash. Another benefit is the extra life they give your tyres. They do this by both reducing the extent and amount of heat cycles the tyres go through (assuming you put them on as soon as you come back in from a session), and by reducing the chance of unsavoury wear due to

Heating pads are very useful to put on all of your sore muscles-back of the neck, on your lower lumbar and all back areas, shoulders, hips, knees, legs, and feet. The best heating pads are very helpful for menstrual cramps and great for cold feet in the winter when socks don`t get you warm enough when you sit in your recliner watching a movie. A heating pad is simply becoming familiar with the different types in the marketplace and choosing the one that best suits you and your family`s needs. Most of the time they sit in the linen closet, but oh how wonderful it is to have it nearby when feeling achy and sore. They are better to use than painkillers with no side effects. Heating pads are a staple, just like having bath towels and peanut butter. How Heating Pads Work to Relieve Pain

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today announced new actions to enhance the safety of reusable medical devices and address the possible spread of infectious agents between uses. The new recommendations are outlined in a final industry guidance aimed at helping device manufacturers develop safer reusable devices, especially those devices that pose a greater risk of infection. Medical devices intended for repeated use are commonplace in health care settings. They are typically made of durable substances that can withstand reprocessing, a multi-step process designed to remove soil and contaminants by cleaning and to inactivate microorganisms by disinfection or sterilization. While the majority of reusable devices are successfully reprocessed in health care settings, the complex design of some devices makes it harder to remove contaminants. FDA`s guidance document, titled [Reprocessing Medical Devices in Health Care Settings: Validation Methods and Labeling" includes recommendations medical device manufacturers should follow pre-market and post-market for the safe and effective use of reprocessed devices. A device manufacturer`s reprocessing instructions are critical t

A private company taking a unique approach to treating inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis (RA) andCrohn's disease has attracted new financial support in the form of a $15 million extension to its Series C financing, bringing the total of the round to $43 million. Setpoint (Valencia, Calif.) said it will use the proceeds for clinical trials of itsbioelectronic therapy in RA and Crohn's, and to help advance the therapy toward commercialization. Setpoint's therapy uses an implanted device to stimulate the vagus nerve, activating the body's inflammatory reflex to provide an anti-inflammatory effect. The Series C1 round includes a new strategic investor, but the name of that company was not disclosed. Setpoint CEO Anthony Arnold told Medical Device Daily the company already had three major companies heavily invested in Setpoint, making the anonymous new investor the fourth company to show an interest in the therapy, a rare occurrence in the device industry. Setpoint's current investors include Morgenthaler Ventures, Foundation Medical Partners, Topspin Partners, Covidien Ventures, Action Potential Venture Capital Limited and Boston Scientific. "The investors really see a tremendous potential," Arnold said, noting that the market for inflammatory drugs is estimated at $30 bil
