When you make medical devices, every day and every decision can mean life or death for someone. You may not ever meet the people whose lives your product saves, but you know they're out there. And because medical devices are so critical to the health and well-being of the people who rely on them, medical device manufacturers are held to high standards and are closely regulated – not just for financial compliance but for compliance to good manufacturing practices as called out by CFR Part and other similar regulations.
Medical device companies are being pressed to introduce new products faster than ever before. Global consumers and medical professions are demanding more effective and precise diagnostic, monitoring and treatment equipment that is cost effective and meets stringent regulatory requirements. This has put pressure on manufacturers to utilize design talent wherever they find it – at hospitals, directly from physicians and educational institutions. The need for collaborative design tools, that align to other internal systems including quality and track and trace has skyrocketed – traditional methods of new product introduction are too slow, too costly and don't provide the visibility needed in today's medical device manufacturing environments. Manufacturers are grappling with:
You can't improve what you don't measure, and analytics and process measurements are basic to modern manufacturing methodologies such as six sigma or lean. Many people say the design process can't be measured – it's too creative. But effective design processes show up in many common business metrics:
If you don't know where you're going, how do you know when you get there? Planning provides the roadmap to manufacturing success. From high level sales and operations planning to ensure that the company's strategic objectives can be met, right down to production schedules for each day at each work center or cell, planning is the heart of manufacturing.
The one thing you can count on is that the real world rarely matches up to the plan. So it's important that you start with the best possible plan, and that you have visibility to react quickly when things go wrong. Materials are late or do not meet quality standards; tooling breaks, workers call in sick – the list of potential pitfalls is nearly endless.
The results of poor planning can show up in virtually every performance measure:
It's well understood that industry leading medical device companies have the most effective supply chains. In these companies, materials are intelligently sourced and key suppliers are treated like partners – integral parts of the design and delivery process. Suppliers are chosen based on a myriad of criteria, possibly including their proximity to the manufacturing facilities, the price of the item; trade terms, their delivery capabilities and most importantly quality reliability. Each supplier's performance is continuously measured and usually shared with the supplier.
Effective sourcing is a complex balancing act that involves weighing the relative merits of a host of complex details that may not always be fully quantifiable up-front. With limited time and data for analysis, buyers use their "best guesses" to estimate the impact of a particular factor in a sourcing decision. Coupled with the mandate on limiting the number of suppliers that so many companies enforce, it's no wonder many buyers skip the analysis and place orders with their tried and true vendors.
Not so long ago, the only metric applied to the purchasing department was purchase price variance (PPV). Today, manufacturers better understand the effect that sourcing decisions can have on every aspect of their business. For example:
Numerous studies have shown that better performing medical device companies have almost universally adopted a "modern" manufacturing methodology. The surprise is that it makes no difference whether it's Lean, Six Sigma, TQM or something else; what matters is the commitment to a methodology for continuous improvement. But when faced with the demands of day-to-day manufacturing, very often this commitment becomes secondary. Effective enterprise applications can help you to maintain this commitment by giving you the visibility you need to manage your manufacturing processes.
If everything went according to plan, manufacturing would be easy. Unfortunately, there are a nearly infinite number of things that can go wrong. Is the right quality built into the product and can you meet the regulatory reporting for quality on the plant floor. Perhaps your customer is responding to changes in their demand by changing order quantities or due dates. Machines break down. Almost every decision made in your organization affects your shop floor. How you respond to unforeseen events can make or break the company's profitability.
Almost everything that happens in an organization affects what eventually happens in manufacturing. The trick is in understanding the cumulative effects of all these decisions and achieving your goals despite unplanned events.
Every time you interact with your customers, it's an opportunity to cement your relationship – or not. Some research has shown that customers rate the ease of doing business with suppliers and the access provided to information about their orders as nearly as important as the actual products they buy. Your business processes and the enterprise systems that support them can make or break any customer engagement by making it seem effortlessly easy.
If you treat customers well, you'll be rewarded with repeat orders and word of mouth referrals. But treat them badly and watch your market share melt away. Beyond measuring calls to the complaint line, how can you be sure your systems and processes are not sending your customers straight to your competitors?
Even if you do everything right – you've got a great product, high quality, the price is on target – you may not achieve the market share you deserve. For medical device companies if you consistently miss promised delivery dates or if you short ship items or ship the wrong items than it is probable that you will quickly lose that customer. Fast, efficient, consistent and accurate are the hallmarks of great companies' delivery systems.
When the end-of-day or end-of-month crunch hits, your team wants to perform. They try their best to fill all orders quickly and perfectly, but system errors or cumbersome processes can get in their way. Drop shipments and direct deliveries to multiple addresses are challenges in themselves. Coupled with requirements for traceability knowing what went where is critical. Customers increasingly demand special packing or pallets, special labeling or even bar codes and RFID chips.
Even beyond the obvious – are orders going out on time without errors – there are clues that can help you streamline your business processes and improve profitability while delighting your customers with perfect orders. You need to measure your performance and then dig in to the underlying causes if you miss the mark.
When the inevitable happens and your product needs maintenance, it's a perfect opportunity to make your customer glad they chose to buy from you. Medical device equipment is used in life saving activities and are expensive to maintain back-up so getting in to fix quickly is critical. From the time the customer places the service call until the time the technician leaves their premises with the product back up and running, the clock is ticking. Most of us hate when things break down because of all the annoyances associated with service calls - even besides the fact that our equipment isn't working. Give your CSRs easy information access to your customers installed records so they can speak intelligently as soon as they answer. Dispatch the nearest technician with the right parts and the right skill set the first time, every time. Provide accurate estimates of arrival times.
It's costly to provide excellent service to products and equipment at customer sites, but it's REALLY costly to provide bad service. When the CSR has to annoy the customer by asking for information that should already be in your system, you're slowing down your call turnover time. That costs money through increased headcount. When you send out a technician who doesn't know how to fix the product the customer has, so you have to send another tech out for a repeat visit; it costs you time and money. If the tech brings the parts for an older or newer revision than the customer has, it costs you money. When the tech brings the wrong part, it costs you money. Even worse than the out-of-pocket costs is the gamble you take with losing that customer forever.
By treating your customers' goodwill like the valuable resource it is, you can cement that relationship and save money in the process. Good service can win you that customer for life. But how do you know you're needlessly spending money and squandering customer goodwill?
Modern manufacturing methods put as much stress on the financial systems as they do on the manufacturing side of traditional restrictive enterprise applications. Traditional cost accounting with its emphasis on work order variances and detailed material tracking and operation reporting doesn't cut it when you're back-flushing materials from open storage locations and replenishing by kanban rather than pre-pulling inventory by work order from closed secure stockrooms. For some medical device companies having to deal with retailers mean that they have to support traditional trade and promotions management processes. Electronic payments have largely replaced traditional paper checks, so accounts receivable has no hash totals to reconcile cash against. Mergers, acquisitions and intra-company supply and demand mean finance needs flexibility like never before. Consolidations and eliminations, multi-currency, and automatic allocations are just a few of the items on your accounting team's wish list.
Government compliance mandates have put strict new controls on the finance team, but the business requires streamlined processes to remain competitive. Finance teams struggle to find the right balance between controls and the business's emerging needs. New ideas like vendor managed inventory render traditional payables processes obsolete when the supplier processes both the receipts and the invoices. The global economy means international business is the new normal while frequent mergers and acquisitions make chart of accounts and general ledger flexibility mandatory. Varying compliance regulations require localizations; multi-currency transactions affect profitability; cash management is crucial; and reporting has to be quick and easy.
The finance team is used to metrics - much of accounting is designed to measure and report the business's performance. But compliance regulations means new measures, new reports and new controls need to be put in place or the company and its officers can be at risk. Finance often struggles to put the right checks and balances in place to allow the smooth running of the business and still ensure traceability and confidence in the numbers.
When shopping for new enterprise applications, savvy buyers don't just focus on long lists of detailed functionality. It's more important now than ever that the infrastructure and architecture of the system is flexible and adaptable so that the business can react to changes quickly.
Companies today run a mix of applications from multiple vendors and their ERP system is usually the core or backbone of it all. The infrastructure and architecture of the ERP system are crucial. Master Data Management capabilities are key to ensuring consistency of data among disparate systems. Quick implementations are required because the lean and mean manufacturers of today don't have the resources to do long involved implementation projects and lots of training. That means the systems have to be intuitive and easy to use. And since business processes are the real key differentiators among competitors in the age of rapid product introductions and short product life-cycles, the ability to hone these processes through cost-effective simple customization is essential.
Analytics and business intelligence are also important to enable all the measurements you need to run your business well.

Comments On Jun 06, 2014:A must when replacing your rear bearings on the XR600R. Just make sure to hold it firmly so that the little pegs don't chip off. Be nice and gentle when removing as the threads seem to be easily destroyed. Don't force when putting it back together or else you can accidentally re-thread.

To you and to me, glass is a window pane, a mirror, something to hold the claret. To scientists, however, glass is a liquid that has lost its mobility, yet keeps its memory of being a liquid.
Both liquids and glasses are disordered materials in which the atoms don't establish long-range patterns. Using neutron scattering to probe that disordered system at the atomic level researchers can learn how to make new and potentially better glasses for applications such as lasers and fiber optics, as well as gain a better understanding of geological materials.
To study liquids and glasses, a collaborating team from Materials Development Inc. in Arlington Heights, Illinois; Stony Brook University in New York; Argonne National Laboratory (ANL); and the Neutron Sciences Directorateat Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has developed a container-less sample environment, in which a drop of pure liquid literally "floats" on a jet of flowing gas.
This aerodynamic levitator sample environment has been installed on the Nanoscale-Ordered Materials Diffractometer (NOMAD) at the Spallation Neutron Sourceat ORNL. There, the research team is using it to study small drops of liquids such as calcium, magnesium, and aluminum silicates.
"We study liquids as they transform to glass," says Richard Weber, the principal investigator and the owner of Materials Development Inc. "That is important because many materials are processed as liquids at some stage in their life, such as silicon wafers that start as sand and then are converted into silicon by melting and processing. "We look at the liquid state, measure its structure, and see how it actually transforms into glass."
Research team (left to right): Lou Santodonato, Rick Weber, John Carruth, Jörg Neuefeind, Chris Benmore, Lawrie Skinner, Sonia Tumber, Danni Jin. Not pictured: Cory Fletcher, Bruce Hill, John Parise. Photo by Renee' Manning.
"Glass is a liquid that has lost all its mobility, but at the atomic level, unlike a crystal, it is still a disordered system," explains NOMAD's lead instrument scientist Jörg Neuefeind. "It has kept the memory of being a liquid, but it's not moving anymore. Window glass and fiber-optic glass are typical glasses. There are also metallic glasses, which look and behave like a metal but still are disordered."
"There is some structure, but no long-range periodic arrangements, such as we find in a crystal," Neuefeind continues. "In rock salt sodium chloride, the atoms are ordered over distances up to the macroscopic. In a glass, while there are building blocks that are held together by the atomic forces, this order disappears over much shorter length scales─over 10 to 100 angstroms (billionths of a meter)─these are very short distances. This lack of long-range order makes these materials interesting both fundamentally and for applications."
Neuefeind says NOMAD is specifically designed to look at the structure of such materials. "The principle is simple: You have a very powerful beam of neutrons that hits the sample, the sample scatters the neutrons, and you detect where the distribution of neutrons scatter from the sample. "It is a combination of a very powerful neutron beam with large detector coverage, which means that you can recover most of the neutrons that are scattered. "That tells you where the atoms are and what configurations they take."
The levitator has two components. There is a 400 watt carbon dioxide laser that is used to heat the sample as it floats on the gas flow. The laser is focused on the sample inside NOMAD, using various mirrors and lenses to control the size and shape of the beam.
The second component is the levitation system, a special nozzle designed to produce a smooth gas flow that can trap a drop of liquid about the size of lentil–about an eighth of an inch in diameter─above the gas.
"This is done so that it is not in contact with anything," Weber explains. "We want the sample to be very pure, not to be contaminated by or to interact with a surface that can cause it to crystallize. We heat it from above. Then we use various instruments to measure its temperature and configurations."
Weber has been working with these sample environments for several years. Materials Development Inc. optimized the method for the neutron beam line, working with Neuefeind and the sample environment team at ORNL to install it in NOMAD.
"It is designed specifically to work with a neutron beam line and is installed in the beam line so we can analyze the structure as it's in the process of transforming to glass," Weber says. "It is a perfect way to analyze what changes in the structure of the liquid as we heat it up and cool it down. This is sometimes called supercooling, when the liquid cools below its normal melting point."
"We take a sample at room temperature and heat it above its melting point, which can reach 2000 to 2500 degrees centigrade in about a minute. Then, as it cools," Weber says, "we take measurements with the neutrons. That gives insight into how to improve the quality of glasses. If you are turning a liquid to a glass, you learn what makes the glass, what is the backbone of the glass that holds it together, where you might be able to modify it, to get particular properties, such as strength or optical performance. It is important fundamentally. It's got applications, as well. It bridges those two areas. So it is very useful."
The research is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Basic Energy Sciences. In addition to Weber and Neuefeind, the research team includes Chris Benmore, ANL; Lawrie Skinner and John Parise, Stony Brook University; Sonia Tumber and Danni Jin, Materials Development, Inc.; and Lou Santodonato, John Carruth, Bruce Hill, and Cory Fletcher from ORNL.

Ginger garlic green chilli paste -1/2tsp
Salt-1tsp or to taste
Garam masala- 1tsp
Ghee to brush on parathas
Knead a soft and smooth dough with the wheat flour adding water. Use little oil the end while kneading to make the dough non sticky. Make lemon sized balls with the dough.
Cook the potatoes till soft in a pressure cooker. Heat little oil in a pan. Add the ginger garlic paste. Saute for a few seconds before adding the very tinily chopped carrot and capsicum into it. Cook for 5 minutes till they are soft yet crisp. Add the cooked and mashed potato in it followed by salt and garam masala. Combine everything together. You can also make the stuffing in a microwave. Make small balls of the stuffing.
Roll the dough to a thick circle. Place little stuffing in the center of the ball. Seal the ball completely and properly. Now again roll them into a big but thick circle.
Heat a tava or a girdle. Place the rolled circle on this and cook on both sides till you see brown spots appear on them. Brush some ghee on both sides while cooking.
Serve hot with some curds or pickle.

35 x 12.50" tire on 8" rim
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: The provided tire/wheel fitments are approximate.
Actual dimensions of a given tire size can vary considerably from one brand to another.
Manufacturers' wheel offset and backspacing measurement points are not always consistent.
Backspacing greatly impacts tire-to-fender clearance when turning.
Wheel width and backspacing influence whether the tires protrude past the fenders, and to what extent.
Considering these important factors, we recommend that you fit-check your tire/wheel selection prior to purchasing.
Carrier Bearing Shim Kit required for vehicles with two-piece drive shaft.
The coil sprung, solid axle Ram HD will always be a favorite of the Superlift Nation, and for good reason. The suspension platform is "lift friendly", the drivetrain durable, and the Cummins diesel provides more than adequate torque for large rubber.
Over the years, Superlift has established a reputation as the "go to" source for Ram HD suspension. How did we earn this? Our ideal engine-specific coil spring rates and shock valving have something to do with it. As does the superb steering mannerisms that are a result of ideal caster settings, and correct track bar/pitman arm phasing. Properly addressing things that generally go unaddressed by others, yet matter, like suspension compression travel control. It adds up. Let us show you just how satisfying your lifted HD experience can be.
The 4" lift begins with new engine specific pre-set coil springs. A dropped pitman arm for steering correction works in concert with our track bar relocation bracket. All new front axle-to-frame link arms restore factory alignment specifications. Specially designed, suspension compression travel bump-stops are also provided. Lift blocks raise the rear 2 inches to negate the factory nose-down stance.
The kit is packaged complete with Superide or Superide SS shocks by Bilstein.
Options include front upper and lower Rockrunner swivel-link arms, and dual steering stabilizer kits with Superide or Superide SS series cylinders by Bilstein.
NOTE: If equipped with a two-piece driveshaft, also order Carrier Bearing Drop Bracket, part number 4668.

About LIM College
Entrepreneurial Student Uses Mobile App to Turn Fashion Into Profit
Hannah Ouimet has been interviewed by the Wall Street Journal and Fox News about her success selling with the Poshmark app
When LIM College student Hannah Ouimet read an article last year about hot new fashion apps she never could have imagined that one of those apps would soon change her life.
Hannah, who transferred to LIM College from Columbia College in Chicago in the fall of 2012, has turned what was initially a desire to make a few bucks while cleaning out her closet into a lucrative business. By using the Poshmark app, Hannah has earned approximately $25,000 in the last year alone, as well as acquiring more than 800,000 online followers and garnering interviews with the Wall Street Journal and Fox News.
The Poshmark app lets users make their personal closets virtual, by selling items they no longer wear to other users of the app. Users who grow to like a specific person's listings can follow them and receive alerts when new items are posted.
Hannah started using Poshmark to sell clothes and jewelry from her own closet, then moved on to selling her friends' items for a share of the profits. Now she also buys designer apparel and accessories for a steep discount on the internet and resells them (still below retail) on Poshmark.
Hannah says that she's always been entrepreneurial. "Since the age of 10, I've had several of my own small businesses, including selling votive candles and making my own soap. Poshmark allowed me take that impulse to a whole new level."
With her ever-expanding inventory now taking over a whole section of her parents' home in Chatham, New Jersey, Hannah lives at LIM College's residence hall on the Upper East Side of Manhattan during the week and treks home on weekends to ship packages to customers.
Hannah reports that she had been considering pursuing a career in styling, and while she currently interns with a casting director, she's now headed in a whole new direction as an online entrepreneur. Her next step will be launching her own website, www.hannahbeury.com, sometime in March.

Women's tennis earns tournament titles at Elon Fall Invitational

Monday, October 11, 2010
ELON, N.C. (Oct. 9, 2010) - The ETSU women's tennis team came away with four titles on the final day of the Elon Fall Invitational, Sunday at Elon University's Jimmy Powell Tennis Center.
The Bucs started the day strong in doubles with two tournament titles. First, the doubles team of Giulia Andreazza (Balneario Camboriu, Brazil) and Andra Voinea (Brasov, Romania) defeated the Elon duo of Stavreva/Sessoms 8-6. Andreazza/Voinea went a perfect 3-0 on the weekend to earn the A-3 doubles flight title.
Just a bit later, the Bucs got another title as Paula Jaime (Madrid, Spain) and Karina Kedzo (Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela) defeated the Elon team of Berne/Johnston in a hard fought match, 9-7. Jaime/Kedzo also finished a perfect 3-0 on the weekend to win the A-1 flight doubles title. The A-1 flight was the highest ranked bracket at the event.
Soon after Voinea teamed with Andreazza to earn the doubles title, she defeated Sarah Moomah of Longwood 6-2, 6-1 in the finals of the A-3 singles flight. Voinea has now won two tournament titles this fall as she won the B flight singles bracket at the USC Upstate Fall Invitational just last month.
To cap off the strong weekend, Andreazza fought back from being a set down to down Nicky Schon of UNC Asheville 4-6, 7-6 (3), 6-4, in the finals of the B-1 singles flight. Andreazza, a freshman, won four consecutive matches in route to her first tournament titles.
The Bucs return to action on October 14 as they will participate in the ITA Regional in Knoxville.

Vancouver Island
August 10, 2004, 08:26:33 PM »
[font color=\'#000000\']Much of Vancouver Island is remote and inaccessible. It takes time, knowledge and a helicopter to get to the really good places. Avoid the area north of Campbell River for this reason. That said, there are many, many places that will exceed your expectations and aren't inaccessible at all.
The trip to Prince Rupert would cost you substantially in both time and money. The boat ride itself is good, a pleasant ride through endless green forested valleys that happen to have ocean for bottoms. Unfortunately, they all look the same. The real way to see the coast of BC (or Alaska) is by air. Charter a float plane out of Campbell River for two hours and you will be amazed. Probably the best money you'll spend in BC.
As for the Island, I'd suggest Tofino, about halfway up, on the west coast. If you don't live on an ocean coast, the experience there is worth however long it takes you to drive there. Tofino has ocean beaches to die for, including excellent offshore islands to add to the effect. It's a spectacular location with lots of tourism facilities.
In Tofino, the Mears Island walk is worth the trip if you've not seen a real rainforest. Tropical jungles don't compare. Ever seen a 300 foot tree? Eight feet through?
There are a many opportunities for wildlife photography in Tofino, including whales. Seals, Sea Lions, birds galore, forest dwellers. Note that some whale watching is seasonal. I'm not sure when they migrate past Tofino on their way back from the Bering Sea to Baja. Late fall, I believe.
Another excellent adventure is the ferry boat "Lady Rose". Google it. It's a great trip with good stuff at both ends.
Bamfield, on the west coast is a tiny version of Tofino. No sandy beaches, but you can visit the Broken Group, an archipelago of dozens of tiny, uninhabited islands seemingly laid out by Japanese gardeners. You'll need to pay for a tour there, but it's a world class location.
West of Victoria are Sooke, Jordan River and Port Renfrew, all not quite in Tofino's league, but easy to access. The drive is nice, but slow, windey. Victoria is an excellent little city to visit if you have a day or so to spare.
Travelling south from Campbell River, avoid the new "parkway" and find the old highway. Less traffic, better scenery. Qualicum Beach, for instance.
Have fun!

Thanks again

[font color=\'#000000\']My wife and I are planning a trip to Vancouver Island this September and we were hoping for some advice on planning our itinerary. Our only pre-booking is for 6 days at Knight Inlet Lodge with 7 days prior to this booking and 5 days after yet to be planned. As usual when trying to plan a trip we are suffering from information overload, all gleaned from the tour brochures and travel guides, and we were wondering if anyone with an interest in wildlife photography could offer any advice on the places to visit and tours to take.
We fly in and out of Campbell River and will obviously be hiring a car or 4x4. One suggestion we have had is to take the ferry up to Prince Rupert and spend some time there where we could be expected to see humpbacked whales and grizzly bears. This seems a very long trip and I wonder if we would see as much or more staying on Vancouver Island.[/font]

[font color=\'#000000\']I live just outside Parksville and can concur with Peter M's reply. Do you hike? Consider a drive up to the ski hill at Mount Washington, from there you can hike over well marked trails into strathcona park and avoid the long hike up hill from the Buttle lake side. you will go through paradise meadows, and may see wildlife if you are good and early. there are lots of lakes and the trails are easy and well marked for a day hike. You will see whiskey jacks for sure.
There is also a boat ride from Gold River and/or Tahis to Kyouquet (sp?), I have not done this but hear it is good and there are B&B's there.
As to whales I suggest a trip to Telegraph cove north of Campbell River where there is fair sized tourist industry catering to whale watchers. There are rubbing beaches utilized by the whales and with the salmon running you stand an excellent chance of seeing whales. Be sure to contract with an established guide outfit that adhears to the legal and ethical concerns about approaching the whales. google on that for a reference, bring a moderate telephoto and if you have IS that will help, Gee I really must do that myself sometime....
there are lots of tour operators and boats with skippers available to hire in Campbell River for wildlife viewing. Only if you are very short of time consider the Zodiac type tours they just burn up the channels and you just get to see the scenery fly by. Consider an overnight trip on a slower tour boat through the Broughten Archepeligo, two years ago I watched bears on a beach on Sonora island turning over huge bolders to feed on the critters beneath, bring a faster film for this type of shooting.
I lived for several years in Prince Rupert and can say that the drive from Rupert to Hazelton is one of the seven wonders of the world, on a good day... I have seen moose swiming in the estuary of the Kasiks river that flows into the Skeena about 2/3 of the way to terrace from rupert.
enjoy the trip

In Japan, KFC fried chicken is traditional Christmas dinner fare, with people lining up for blocks to order and pick up their chicken. This is mostly due to a 1970′s ad campaign suggesting that fried chicken is served at Christmas dinners in the United States.
However you celebrate, the Davenport Public Library would like to wish you a safe and happy holiday season. For your convenience holiday hours are listed below.

This story was corrected May 4, 2011. An explanation follows the story.
Seven years ago, at the height of the housing bubble, the state issued more than 24,000 permits for single-family homes and more than 30,000 for multifamily homes, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Post-burst, those numbers hovered around 8,000 and 12,000, respectively, as of 2011, as the homebuilding industry tries to claw its way out from the Great Recession.
But while builders are taking heart in an early spring market and a slowly rebounding customer confidence, many worry that constantly changing building requirements could hamstring a recovery.
�The housing industry is more important to the overall economy than most people realize,� said Anirban Basu, chairman and CEO of Sage Policy Group of Baltimore. �The recovery has been substandard because the housing industry is not participating.�
The industry is experiencing glimmers of hope, Basu said, as the market stabilizes and inventory drops to six months or less, especially in areas such as Montgomery County. While he would not describe these markets as primed for sellers, they set the foundation for a recovery.
�There will be a seller�s market in the next several years in part because the current product is from 2005,� Basu said. �We�re just not there yet since the crisis was so profound and there is still a lot of foreclosures and short-sale inventory to go through.�
Spring marketWinchester Homes in Bethesda built 300 homes last year, up 50 percent from 2010.
�There is a spring market. Better locations are still performing better, and a product has to be priced right and be compelling enough to convince people to secure that down payment,� said Steve Nardella, senior vice president of operations with Winchester. Business bottomed out in 2009, he said.
�Last year, people knew it was a great time to buy, but that growing confidence was slow to come,� Nardella said, emphasizing that a robust housing market goes hand-in-hand with a growing job market and rising incomes.
The Greater Washington metro market, where Winchester sells, saw home prices increase 3.5 percent last year, said Nardella, who also is president of the Maryland National Capital Building Industry Association. The association has more than 500 member companies.
He said the industry predicts both sales and prices to increase in 2012.
Nardella said sellers are seeing older buyers than in previous years with higher incomes, although they are not buying as much as they can afford. He said down payments remain a challenge for many buyers, as lenders have raised their requirements.
�Things are better now than two years ago,� said Lou Baker, president of Goodier Baker Homes in Lutherville. �We�re seeing decent news in the economy. People are moving through stages of life where they believe the prices have hit bottom and they need to live their life and stop waiting to buy.�
Goodier Baker has ongoing construction products in Howard County, including 16 homes — with nine sold — at Scott�s Glen in Columbia and 46 homes planned for Belle Haven Estates in Woodbine.
�There�s more likely never been a better time to buy a home. Affordability is at an all-time high,� Baker said.
In Frederick County, 133 new building permits were issued in January and February, compared with 72 for the same period last year, said Denise Jacoby, executive officer of the 255-member Frederick County Building Industry Association.
�We�d like to see a couple more months of these figures to be sure there�s a trend,� Jacoby said. �Prices remain an issue. It�s still difficult for people to qualify for financing, and younger folks are not ready to commit.�
She added that could change as rents rise, making homeownership more appealing.
But others say renting will remain the more popular option for many.
Apartment market fared better in recession
�The single-family home market will not return to the heyday of selling 30,000 units in the Washington market,� said Ken Rehfuss, president and owner of RKR Construction, an apartment remodeler in Bethesda. �You�re seeing more multifamily homes toward the mass transit areas.�
Overall, the apartment sector fared better than the single-family throughout the recession, as multifamily homes do not carry the threat of value depreciation, Rehfuss said. But the industry still must contend with difficulties in securing funding for projects, which can push projects to four years before anything comes to fruition.
The state government has been more helpful lately in providing financing for renovation projects, he said.
�The Washington apartment market is one of the top markets in the nation,� Rehfuss said.
Custom work is looking up
Custom homebuilders are more optimistic.
�Since November, there�s been a significant swing upward,� said Phyllis Michaels, owner and managing member of Crescendo Builders in Bethesda. She attributed the stronger market to buyers needing more choices and said Crescendo is to build six homes this year.
Michaels said Crescendo also is looking into speculative work again, as banks are lending more. Crescendo had cut back on speculative building during the recession.
David Niroo, whose Niroo Masterpieces in Bethesda constructs 33,000-square-foot mansions, said more people have been viewing his homes.
�You have to be careful,� Niroo said. �If you�re going to build, it has to be high quality, so it can be marketed.� Since the recession, quality has improved, with lesser-quality builders pushed out of business, he said.
Other custom builders, such as Design Alternatives of Hunt Valley, turned to more remodeling after the recession.
Rising fuel prices have made freight costs higher, so that lumber deliveries, once free, now either carry a flat fee or the cost is calculated into total lumber costs, said company President Mike Bowers.
Building suppliers also are enjoying some breathing room.
�Pre-2008 is not going to be here again for a long time, but it�s been getting better,� said Sandy Dyson, office manager of Dyson Building Center in Great Mills. �The early spring has certainly not hurt, either.�
Fuel price increases also are affecting her business, as prices rise for oil-related products such as plastics and copper, she said.
�Our contractors have not really been busy yet, so we�re relying on steady customers,� Dyson said.
TW Perry saw its year-over-year sales increase by almost half in the first quarter, said Mike Moore, vice president of materials management. The Gaithersburg company, which works mainly with remodelers, has grown to 321 employees from 285 a year ago.
He said the company is �cautiously optimistic,� but it is still difficult to handle upticks in product demand, as manufacturers are reluctant to ramp up their operations.
Restrictions and impact costs still loom
Despite the glimmers of recovery, builders still chafe at increasing government restrictions.
�County regulations have gone through the roof,� said Mark Stevens, vice president of Stevens Builders in Dayton.
�It now costs $47,000 for a permit and all its impact requirements, when it used to be $10,000,� Stevens said. �We�re close to spending $100,000 before even breaking ground.�
Bowers, at Design Alternatives, said fees to stay in business have also risen, with building licenses increasing to $50 from $17.
�Little by little, every single thing goes up,� he said.
�Montgomery County is always a challenge, continuously revising its code and making it much more difficult to build a house,� said Michaels at Cresendo Builders. �New homes are increasing the tax base in Montgomery County, so the building atmosphere should be conducive to that.�
She said restrictions have made it particularly challenging to build a garage on smaller lots, which means more cars on the streets.
�It�s a very complicated business. ... And the approval process never gets easier. It�s just becoming more and more complicated,� said Winchester Homes� Nardella. �Anything that creates uncertainty increases risks and makes us second-guess a project.�
He said buyers might be displeased to realize government fees can account for $40,000 of their home price.
Baker said builders also are paying attention to the stricter septic regulations passed in Baltimore, which could put more pressure on the industry.
Explanation: Winchester Homes built 300 homes in 2011, up 50 percent from 2010. The original version said it planned to build 300 homes this year, up 50 percent from 2011.

Lewis Hamilton feels that a "cover" has been removed and he is "fully exposed" following his move to Mercedes...
Lewis Hamilton feels that a "cover" has been removed and he is "fully exposed" following his move to Mercedes.
After spending most of his teenage years as well as his first six years in Formula One at McLaren, Hamilton decided to swap Woking for Brackley at the end of last year.
In the build-up to the season-opening Australian GP, the 28-year-old admitted that he enjoys the freedom he gets at Merc while was also impressed with the way the team focuses more on their drivers instead of sponsors.
In an exclusive Sky Sports F1 interview with 1996 World Champion Damon Hill, Hamilton added that he feels he has "left home" and is ready for any challenge.
Asked if he found life too constraining at McLaren, Hamilton replied: "Martin [Whitmarsh] was fantastic when I was at McLaren. He was very open and he was allowing me to be myself, but I definitely felt from the get-go I had this cover over me.
"It's very difficult to explain. It was great there and I had such a great period of time there. But I wanted to try something new and here there's just a different environment, there's a different feeling. I don't feel like I've got that cover on me now so I'm fully exposed.
"It's like when you leave home you get that step of independence and I feel like I've now left home in terms of racing and now I've got to really take on this challenge and it's that step of independence again."
Speaking to Sky F1, Hamilton says that he already felt vindicated in taking on the new challenge.
"I really couldn't be happier," he said.
"I'm really happy with the decision that I made and regardless of the comments all round, I really feel that I made the right decision for myself and I hope through the year people will begin to see that it was the right decision."

I learned a lot from this book. I learned different forms of law such as tort, criminal, civil, and property law.read more
The book was very helpful. I didn't like the book put a lot of important information deep within the subtext. A person can not skim the pages they must read.
The book was a general overview of the legal system in the United States. It made frequent use of real and hypothetical cases to illustrate important points.read more
Was how jury selection works. As it is one of the aspects of the legal system which has the most bearing on my life I was fascinated by the mechanics of how it works.
Overall the book was a very good resource for an introductory legal class.read more
Made things in law very easy to understand and was very informative.

Rejoice & Shout

Packed with evocative photos, rare audio recordings, stirring film appearances and TV performances, "Rejoice & Shout" covers the 200-year musical history of African-American Christianity. Culled from hundreds of hours of music, "Rejoice & Shout" features the crème de la crème of Gospel music.

|Blue Map is a Great Map of Burlington and VT
(c) 2006 Information Gallery
At our inn, we keep a supply of the Blue Map for our guests who are traveling to Burlington VT. It has a map of the greater Burlington area including such surrounding towns such as Essex Junction and Colchester. Best of all, it has a large section devoted to a helpful close-up of downtown Burlington and the Lake Champlain waterfront.
All the attractions in the Burlington area are shown including Shelburne Museum, Shelburne Farm, ECHO Aquarium, Lake Champlain Maritime Museum, cruise ship docks, and the car ferry to NY.
There are numerous advertisements but they are laid out in a similar size and style, and they are listed in a well designed format that makes them helpful instead of intrusive.
The multi-panel fold-out map brochure also has a very good map of most of Vermont and a little of upstate NY including Lake Placid.
You can see all of this online at the Blue Map website. When you are in Vermont, you can find the Blue Map at many information centers, attractions, and kiosks on the Burlington lake front near the ferry and cruise ship docks.

Overview Reviews Details Articles & Videos by Dave Bar If you like to work out hard, the Sennheiser/adidas PMX-680i headphones are built to go the distance with you. These tough-yet-comfortable earbuds are made for heavy movement thanks to their neckband and moisture-resistant design. The '680i also gives you an in-line remote for easy operation of your favorite Apple® device. You can control your music's volume, and pause, play, or skip through your songs. Plus, a built-in microphone lets you manage calls on your iPhone®, and provides voice control on select iPod® and iPhone models. So whether you're pouring it on at the gym or some unexpected weather is doing that for you, the music will keep on pumping. The '680i's bright yellow cord is reinforced with Kevlar® for extra durability, and the neckband is even reflective for added safety during those early-bird jogs. While the headphones keep the music coming, they're also made to let some ambient sound through so you can still hear the traffic or a fellow athlete looking to get in some reps on the weight machine. The included cable clip means less chance of yanking the 'phones out of your ears, and a convenient pouch gives it a good home until next time.

Pros: Remote and form fit for exercise Cons: They will die after a bit and you will want another Was this review helpful? Yes No Trustworthy Headset, Item is as described. Written By DJ Auralgasm, Billings, MT on Tuesday, December 04, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality This is a very well built headset. I trust the claim that states it is "sweat-proof" or "sweat-resistant" is accurate. I have been at the gym with them several times already, and when I am at the gym it is as if this headset has been submerged in sweat. The sound quality is as good as can be expected. Now that I have a headset that can outperform the output of my phone it's time to upgrade the later. For the cost I would highly recomend this headset. Pros: Sweat-proof or sweat-resistant, durability, sound quality, comfort, variety of uses from just listening to music up to making a call. Cons: Not wireless Was this review helpful? Yes No Lousy Written By Pete, Chicago, IL on Saturday, August 27, 2011 These headphones were OK for a grand total of 2 months. Then, the right headphone conked out completely. Even when both headphones worked, the sound quality and volume were poor. The only thing good about these headphones is the volume/control buttons, but, needless to say, I'd much rather have headphones that worked. And our friends at Sennheiser have made it virtually impossible to place a warranty claim in a practicable manner. This product just ain't worth the premium price; that's for sure.

This headphones are great for running they are out of the way & very confortable, I love the attached remote to skip, forward through your ipod/iphone. if I had to pick any flows the only one would be when working out laying on benches the neckband gets in the way but if you can live with that they are great. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No Superb Headphones Written By The dindin, Camp Marmal, Afghanistan on Tuesday, June 28, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Immaculate headphones! I sweat profusely when working out and needed a replacement set. The ones I replaced could not keep the sweat from going into my ears. Occasionally, the sweat would make it seem as though the music was breaking. At one point, I started to think my IPOD was going out. These headphones rock and sound pretty good and I am VERY content with my purchase. The sound is sweet and bass actually more pronounced. The fit on the head is pretty good as well.

The palm-sized device looks like any number of electronic gadgets, but it's not for playing music or making phone calls.
Instead, it allows a diabetic patient to share the results of a simple blood glucose test with doctors, parents or other caregivers in seconds.
"If you're the mom of a kid with diabetes, it used to be that you were spending your day calling the school nurse to find out if you're kid's okay," said Dr. Jonathan Javitt, CEO of Telcare, the Bethesda-based company that developed the monitor. "[Now], every time your child tests, there's the data in the form of a [text message]."
Diabetics commonly test their own glucose levels by pricking a finger and placing a drop of blood in a portable monitoring device.
Parents and patients who use the Telcare monitor also have access to various graphs and reports generated by the data from the Telcare monitors, and doctors have their own portal to access the patient's glucose readings, Javitt said. Having that data lets doctors see almost instantly how their diabetic patients are doing, which ones need more guidance on managing their glucose levels, and which ones might need immediate medical assistance, Javitt said.
The Telcare monitor has a list price of $150. It was developed through a partnership with Verizon's Open Development Initiative, through which Verizon works with other companies to incorporate wireless technology into their products, said Melanie Ortel, a spokeswoman for Verizon Wireless.
"We invite innovators to work with us on solutions to help many [fields], including education, health care, sustainability [and] energy management," Ortel said. Telcare worked with Verizon to develop the chip for the device, which works exclusively with Verizon, she said.
Patients can use free apps for their mobile phones or tablet computers to track their data. Each glucose reading is followed either by a recommendation or warning about the glucose levels, or a piece of advice about how patients can better manage their health — what Javitt calls a "fortune cookie."
So far, Telcare is the only company to have such a monitor approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration. The device recently received approval to be used in the European Union and parts of Asia, Javitt said.
Much of the interest in the United States has come from employers looking to save money on health insurance costs. If a business has 1,000 employees, 150 of them are likely to be diabetic, and the condition adds an average of $6,000 per year to a person's health care costs, Javitt said.
Seven out of 10 health-care dollars are spent on chronic illnesses, and diabetic patients are expected to be their own primary caregivers, he said.
"Yet the patient, historically, has not been connected to the health care system, except episodically," Javitt said. "The notion was, 'Let's invent a world where patients who have chronic illnesses are connected all of the time.'"

Georgia Southern tops Buccaneers, 87-83
Saturday, February 08, 2003STATESBORO, Ga. (Feb. 8, 2003) - Julius Jenkins nailed a three-pointer with 44 seconds left to put Georgia Southern ahead and propel the Eagles to an 87-83 win over East Tennessee State Saturday night at Hanner Fieldhouse. East Tennessee State (12-9, 6-4 Southern Conference) took their first lead since the 6:11 mark in the first half with 1:37 to go in the game when Zakee Wadood's trey gave the Buccaneers an 82-81 lead. Jenkins answered with the eventual game-winner to make the score 84-82. The Buccaneers had a chance to tie with 26 seconds left, but Kordel Gibson blocked Jerald Fields' jumper. Jenkins added two free throws with 16 seconds showing to put the Eagles up by four. After Tim Smith split a pair from the line for ETSU, Jean Francois hit the second of two free tosses to provide the final margin. Georgia Southern (12-9, 5-5 Southern Conference) fell behind by seven when James Anthony's basket made the score 27-20 with 8:21 to go in the half. The Eagles went on a 10-0 run over the next two minutes, and a Jenkins three gave GSU a 30-27 lead with 5:26 left in the stanza. Jenkins finished with a game-high 27 points, followed by Frank Bennett's 20. Francois and Terry Williams each added 15, while Gibson totaled a career-best six assists. ETSU was led by Smith, who scored a career-high 25 points, and Fields with 22. All five starters were in double-figures for the Bucs, and accounted for all 83 points. East Tennessee State hosts Western Carolina at the Memorial Center on Monday night at 7:30 p.m.

Midwest Living Review
Traverse Tall Ship Company offers two-hour and specialty cruises of Grand Traverse Bay aboard the tall ship Manitou, a beautiful 114-foot replica 1800s schooner. We found them in their new location in the Discovery Center Great Lakes, off M-22 in Traverse City. We purchased tickets for the noon sail ($37 adult, $19 child) and boarded the shuttle for a quick trip across the street to the dock, where a crew member greeted us and gave a short rundown about safety.
You can sit back and relax or channel your inner sailor and help set some of the 3,000 square feet of sails. Clueless, but not wanting to miss the opportunity, we joined a crew member who expertly (and good-naturedly) showed us the ropes, literally. It's all part of a fun and friendly competition with a group doing the same on the opposite side of the ship. We heaved and ho'd and watched as our sail rose high overhead. Our work done, we sat and watched as crew scampered up the mast (it's quite a sight) and climbed on rigging to set the other sails. Knowledgeable and friendly, Captain Dave McGinnis and his crew chat with guests and share the sailing experience; if conditions permit, you can try your hand at the wheel. Snacks and drinks are available to purchase; however, for the noon sail, you can also bring a light lunch (no coolers).
Three two-hour options include the noon sail, afternoon sail (which features Moomers ice cream) and evening sail. Specialty cruises include popular wine and microbrew tastings and overnight bed-and-breakfast sails. If you're looking for a quintessential Michigan moment out on the water, you'll definitely find it here.
