The potential of Baja California's strategic location, cost efficiency, skilled labor force and other factors have brought some of the best known Medical Device Companies to manufacture in Mexico. These company's processes lay in assembling and manufacturing surgical instruments and parts for other medical products, most of them located in Tijuana and Mexicali. According to the Global Trade Atlas, Mexico is the sixth largest exporter of Medical products, including being the largest exporter of medical devices to the US and Latin America. Due to this reach in the US and Latin American markets, more and more medical device companies are expanding into Mexico.
Mexico's Nearshore platform facilitates engineering, intellectual property protection, quality control and safety certification, especially for the manufacturing of sensitive products to U.S., Canada and European markets. Manufacturing medical devices in Mexico gives you the same quality and safety of manufacturing at home while taking advantage of a 40-60% savings in labor cost.
Top Medical Device Companies in Baja California and Mexico
We found that buildings were readily available, and business and labor costs were better than in Costa Rica. We [also] ruled out China because it was not a good fit. Beyond the political situation and rising labor and shipping costs, it was too far away for us to manage.
- Adam Prime, CEO, Phase 2 Medical
There are over 79 medical device companies in Baja California which represent more than half of the industry's presence in Mexico. Around 620,000 workers (over 50,000 in Tijuana) make the region the largest industry concentration in North America, a leading hub for medical device manufacturing and the headquarters for the public-private alliance: Medical Devices Clusters of the Californias. Mexico's medical device Industry will continue to grow thanks to the new companies that have started operations in Tijuana such as Össur and Fisher & Paykel Healthcare, and the expansions of many others.
Medical Device Manufacturing in Mexico Highlights
- Knowledge and technology transfer capabilities
- The products are FDA Class I, II and III
- Medical device products cluster integration
- R&D is oriented to improve product, processes and work methods
- Class 100 to 100,000 clean rooms
- Modern logistics infrastructure and communication development in the region
- Lower cost to market than Asia
- Immediate access to North American markets
- A world class manufacturing culture, with over 90% plants ISO certified
- Government pro-business culture focused on developing medical manufacturing
- Over 45 years of medical manufacturing experience and expertise
We considered a number of options, including the possibility of opening our own facility or utilizing a shelter company. We considered locations such as Mexicali, Ciudad Juarez, Rosarito, and Tijuana. We chose Tijuana for its proximity to our Irvine, California Headquarters, the quality of the workforce and the ability to work with CPI."
- John Hamilton VP of Strategic Initiatives and Special Projects, Aspen Medical Products
Cali-Baja Biotech Cluster
This important industry cluster represents over 800 companies and includes San Diego, Imperial Valley and Baja California. Tijuana is North America's leader with the largest concentration of employees in medical device manufacturing and medical device supply, while San Diego, Tijuana's northern neighbor, is the 4th largest Life Sciences technology hub in the US.
Low-Cost, Highly-Skilled Medical Device Workforce
Our medical device customers were telling us that the availability of off-shore, low-cost labor would be a criterion for vendor sourcing going forward. - Adam Prime, CEO, Phase 2
Regional governments have designed qualification courses for its workforce where they are required to complete extensive training courses which boost their productivity and allow them to learn about the industry's high standard requirements such as US FDA regulations. Countless technical schools have been established in the region where the workforce is trained according to the specifications of the medical device manufacturing industry. These collaborative efforts result in highly skilled and experienced workforce, with over 15,000 engineering students.

I fully agree with the previous comment about the original posting. The repairs mentioned were cheap repairs considering the mileage. The Taurus is a no frills reliable vehicle and it is unfortunate that it will be discontinued within a couple of years. I have a 2002 with 35,000 miles and follow Fords maintenance schedule. All service is done at the dealership. I haven't had any problems with mine other than a recall on the brake light switch which took about 1/2 hr. at the dealers to fix. So far it has been a great car.
16th Jul 2005, 12:45
The blower motor on my 2002 just went out. Did you replace yourself? If so, can you give a few pointers? The Haynes manuals only go up to 2001 on this model and the 2002 looks to be different.
According to the 2001 manual, the blower motor removal looked like 3 screws and you're done. On the 2002, it looks like the motor is buried pretty deep and I'd like to avoid removing a lot of unnecessary stuff.
BTW - Mine has 82,000 miles. It looks new and runs like a top. Handles well, drives nice, comfortable interior. I'm 6'4" and don't feel claustrophobic, which is unusual for a small car. Great car for a 30 mile one way commute. This is the first problem I've had with it.
26th Jul 2005, 11:24
The owners with rusty blowers should check with their dealers about a part called a "rain hat". In early production it was too small and allowed heavy rain to leak into the car in the passenger wheel well. I had this problem only once in 2-1/2 years of ownership. But when the dealer fixed it under the warranty, he also changed the blower motor because he said it would fail soon from the water. Tauruses with early blower failure may have the same problem, but no water leaking into the car.
15th Sep 2005, 13:18
I just had the same problem. I had no idea it was a common problem with the 2002 Taurus. My dealer replace the "rain hat" and weather strip, and silicone gap on piler. The repair ran about $180. Other than this issue, I love my Taurus, which has 84,000 miles.
24th Apr 2006, 17:02
Who said look at the mileage he got out of this Taurus...? In my book, 68,000 miles is still relatively new. My Accord has 396,000 miles on it and has never had any of these problems. On second thought... I guess 68k miles IS a lot for a FORD!!
10th Sep 2006, 06:44
I too have been having this problem. Once I did a little work to the outside components, I began to have many problems. At only 70,000 miles the cam sensor synchronizer now needs to be replaced among other things. I followed the recommended scheduled repairs, but apparently I forgot that it's a FORD. I wish I had never made this purchase. With far more mileage, my Chevy never gave me any problems like this.
1st Dec 2006, 15:56
"Cmon!! Never had problems like these? You guys NEVER had cars in the "50/60/70s have you?
23rd Dec 2006, 08:19
You want to talk over priced, step into a Toyota or Honda Showroom and take a look at what little you really get. Products as interesting as a washing machine and more plastic than what would be seen at a Tupperware party. We own a 01 Taurus and only 60K on it, but none of the problems listed on this site. I am a Mercedes Benz tech and if you want to REALLY talk Excessive repairs and over priced the MB is where you go not Ford Taurus with its $14,000.00 new car price. Americans and their hondas, no thanks. Honda, Had One Never Did Again!
17th Jan 2007, 13:30
I have a 2003 taurus. I just came back from the dealer. He wants 250 to replace the blower motor. I am pretty sure this is a little early to replace a part like that. I am going to look and see how hard a job it is.. The car has 56.000 miles.
25th Jan 2007, 09:12
We have a 2002 Ford Taurus SE and just repaired the fan blower motor along with the passenger side rain hat components. We only have 43,000 miles on it. When we asked the dealer if we could get any help from Ford as far as recalled parts, etc., he replied "Good Luck"; He commented that usually someone has to be seriously injured before any help usually comes from the manufacturer. We also were never notified about any of the recalls listed on the Ford recall web site. Real responsible manufacturer, they really care about their quality and reliability. We will never buy another Ford again.
28th Jan 2007, 10:14
Blower motor on Ford 2002 Taurus stopped working two days ago.
Mileage is approx. at 70k. The fuse and relay which are located in the passenger compartment fuse box are okay.
I was guessing that water got into the blower compartment sucked in as snow. Was about to try and pull the motor to look at it, so I did an online 'GOOGLE' search to see if there were any directions or diagrams to do it myself.
I clicked on this site and found it very informative and interesting... I am deciding now whether to call the dealer and inquire about the "rain hat" others have mentioned.
The comments on this site have increased my confidence in my assumption of a corroded blower motor due to moisture.
Oh yea, this is the 10th Taurus I have owned since the mid 80's. My wife and I both have driven a Taurus for close to 90k miles each. Have had very few troubles, It is / was a great vehicle for value and safety.
29th Jan 2007, 05:43
Blower motor working again. Removed plastic cover under the glove box area on instrument panel which is held up with two plastic push-pins. Removed three screws with 10mm hex socket and 6" socket extension. One electrical connector. Motor housing and motor are pressed together. Removed the squirrel cage fan via a push nut; the motor did not look excessively corroded. I sprayed light oil lubricant onto and into the end bearings. The back bearing is somewhat blind. Reinstalled the squirrel fan and push nut, turned it a couple of times by hand. Plugged it back in, and viola...it's working again, quiet and smooth.
Noticed that the motor was not made by Ford, but by Siemens.
Wonder when Ford stopped making their own from Rawsonville plant, now Visteon and outsourced to Siemens (maybe that's when the problems started occurring)? Murray's auto discount wanted $100.00 and special order (10 days) for a motor. I noticed JC Whitney sells replacement motors for $54.00 and in-stock... Motors from Whitney are Siemens, but only cover '86 to '93. Wonder if it would fit the 2002? Looks the same by picture? Also, wonder when Siemens started from a replacement service part to main supplier for Ford?
29th Jan 2007, 12:07
I just bought a 02 Taurus with 60,000 miles last week. It did not come with a owners manual. I just put gas in it yesterday and a few hours later the check engine light came on. I was reading other comments stating that if the gas cap is not put back on properly the check engine light will come on. So I made sure it was on tight. The check engine light is still on. Does it take awhile for it to go off? I'm hoping that there is not a further problem.
I also noticed that the power steering fluid was low. After reading all the comments about the rack and pinion, it make me a bit nervous. I hope and pray this car is not full of repairs as I have read.
Does anyone know how to reset the key-less entry door pad code on the outside of the car?

Global Blood Therapeutics (
Most important, the study's primary efficacy endpoint will measure the ability of GBT440 to increase levels of oxygen-carrying hemoglobin in sickle cell patients compared to a placebo, Global Blood said.
That's a potentially easier efficacy threshold for GBT440 to achieve in sickle cell disease compared to what's historically been required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Typically, FDA has mandated any drug aimed at treating sickle cell disease demonstrate a reduction in the frequency of painful and damaging sickle cell crises. These "vaso-occlusive crises" are caused by clumps of sickled red blood cells blocking blood vessels.
Global Blood says the FDA agreed on the design of the GBT440 phase III study, including the use of the hemoglobin primary endpoint. However, the agreement on study design and the data required for the drug's approval is not guaranteed in writing with a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA.)
"We did not pursue an SPA. Had we done it, we could have gotten one but it would have taken longer," said Global Blood CEO Ted Love, in a phone interview Monday afternoon.
Global Blood wants to start screening sickle cell disease patients for the phase III study in December with the hope of having top-line results in the first half of 2019.
"I don't think FDA felt we needed an SPA," Love added. "Our process with the FDA was...

Jonas Brothers pay tribute to Lennon
The young pop stars cite Lennon as their greatest musical influence and they shot the short clip to honour his memory on the special day.
The brothers, who are seated on a sofa together, talk about how the iconic musician inspired their own work and thank him for his contribution to music.
Nick Jonas says, "We grew up listening to the Beatles in our home, John Lennon specifically. And his words, and his lyrics, and his music spoke to many generations of people and continue to.
"It's his birthday, 70th birthday, so happy birthday, John. Thanks for the memories. Thanks for the music. And thanks for showing the world that it's time to come together and live in peace. You're the man."

Scarsdale Leads the Way in Food Scrap Recycling
- Shout it Out
- Published: Monday, 15 May 2017 12:06
On May 13, 2017, at Kensico Dam Plaza in Valhalla, Westchester County recognized the Village of Scarsdale with a 2017 Earth Day Award for introducing a food scrap recycling program for Scarsdale residents. The award was presented by Deputy County Executive Kevin Plunkett during a County Earth Day 2017 celebration event. On hand to receive the award were Mayor Dan Hochvert, Trustees Deb Pekarek and Jane Veron, and members of the Village Ad Hoc Committee on Food Scraps Recycling, residents Ron Schulhof and Michelle Sterling.
Trustee Deb Pekarek used the occasion to urge Deputy County Executive Plunkett to consider having the County re-start its food scraps recycling program. The County's program, which included the operation of County-owned food recycling machinery, has been suspended due in part to the lack of volume of collected food scraps. As residents' voluntary participation in food scraps recycling increases, it may eventually be possible to prompt the County to re-activate its program. Having a food scraps re-cycling facility in the County would increase the efficiency of the program by reducing the distance the contractor that picks up the food scraps from the Recycling Center has to travel to get to a composting facility.
Scarsdale's lead in food scrap recycling has been generating interest in other Westchester communities and a number of them have sent representatives to the Village Secor Road Recycling Center to observe the Village's program. In at least one case, the positive impact of such a visit has resulted in a prompt response. A week ago, Greenburgh Town Supervisor Paul Feiner and members of his staff visited the Secor Road Recycling Center and observed the Scarsdale food scraps program in operation. Yesterday Supervisor Feiner announced that the Town of Greenburgh "will be working with the Greenburgh Nature Center trying to come up with a plan to implement a similar program."
Village residents dropped off over four tons of food scraps at the Recycling Center last week. In the previous week, residents were able to pick up compost generated by the program for free. For information about the Village's program and future compost pick up days, go to this page on the Village web site.

Carl Arnold Westerdahl '59 of Williamstown, Mass., a leader in Wagner College's National Alumni Association, passed away at home on Wednesday, April 3, 2013, following a long illness.
"Carl was a gift to Wagner and to me," said President Richard Guarasci. "I treasured the moments with him. He brought so much intelligence and empathy to almost everything we discussed. He personified cosmopolitanism. I just loved being with him."
"I was saddened to hear of Carl's passing, but so very grateful to have had the opportunity to know him," said Trustee Aletta Diamond. "Carl brought so much to my Wagner experience. While on the National Alumni board, he brought new ideas and enthusiasm to the planning and execution of Reunion weekend. I believe his efforts increased attendance and the way alumnus reconnected to the college."
Son of Carl Arnold Westerdahl Sr. and Elizabeth Houck Westerdahl, he was born in Newark, N.J., Oct. 19, 1937, and reared in Gettysburg, Pa. After graduating from Wagner College in 1959, Carl served in the U.S. Army Reserve from 1961 to 1965. He had a 34-year career in higher education administration, holding executive positions at Washington College (Chestertown, Md.) and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (Troy, N.Y.), serving as admissions director, dean of men, dean of students and director of alumni and community relations.
Carl Westerdahl was a very active Wagner College alumnus, mobilizing the Class of 1959 as its 50th anniversary reunion approached and organizing "Wagner '59 and Friends," which raised the money that made possible the construction of the Class of 1959 Learning Commons in Horrmann Library, a suite of four high-tech group study rooms adjacent to the library's Great Room that were dedicated in 2011.
In his retirement, Carl co-authored histories of Rensselaer and the Albany Academy. As an active volunteer for the Glimmerglass Opera in Cooperstown, N.Y., he established the College of Opera Knowledge to enable a wide circle of friends to learn about and enjoy opera.
In Williamstown, Carl Westerdahl was an active member of the First Congregational Church, where he served as co-moderator, and the Williamstown Historical Museum, of which he was president. At various times he volunteered with the Clark Art Institute, A Better Chance, Northern Berkshire Community Coalition and the Williamstown Chamber of Commerce.
Energetic and enthusiastic, Carl had many interests, ranging from NASCAR to opera. He enjoyed American history, art, music, sports, sailing, dining and travel, including "blue road" travel in the U.S. to small cities. In October 2012, he celebrated his 75th birthday with more than 100 family members and friends.
Carl Westerdahl was predeceased in 2001 by his first wife, Mary Church Westerdahl, and in 2008 by his son, Eric Jon Westerdahl. He is survived by: his second wife, Susan Stetson Clarke; his brother and sister-in-law, Bruce and Nancy Westerdahl of Penn Yan, N.Y.; his daughter and son-in-law, Maura K. Westerdahl and Thomas Mattice of Juneau, Alaska; his son, Carl H. Westerdahl and fiancée Karen Larson of Seattle, Wash.; his granddaughter, Elizabeth Mary Westerdahl, and her mother, Martha A. Westerdahl, of Williamstown; and his nieces and nephews.

Beckham arrived, the Galaxy are still terrible, and people are getting frustrated.
Bigoted chants from Newcastle fans towards Ahmed Mido, an Egyptian striker playing for Middlesborough:
"I just think this was ridiculous. Maybe some of them were drunk," the 24-year old Mido said. "It made me want to score goals. I was very delighted to score once and wanted another."I saw Mido score for Tottenham against Middlesborough back in 2005, when my father and I went to White Heart Lane (we went because we couldn't get tickets to the Chelsea game). We had to sit in the away section because those were the only tickets we could get, and Middlesborough lost 2-0. Everyone around us was depressed and drunk, aside from some tourists like us (Chinese and clueless). I remember Mido's goal - he took a shot from the corner of the 18-yard box and slipped it under keeper Mark Schwarzer, who really should have stopped it. Jermaine Defoe scored an excellent goal that game, dribbling it on a counterattack and scoring from about 25 yards. I found the video of the two goals - between 30 seconds and 40 seconds in this video.
The Egypt striker ran toward the Newcastle fans after he scored, motioning toward them to be silent. He was yellow-carded for the celebration.

Americans gave soccer balls to Afghan kids. Problem - the soccer balls had flags of different countries on them, including the Saudi flag. The Saudi flag has the name of Allah on it. The perception was that Americans were telling Muslim children to kick Allah:
Afghan MP Mirwais Yasini said: "To have a verse of the Koran on something you kick with your foot would be an insult in any Muslim country around the world."Cultural ignorance - somebody didn't do their homework.

Antonio Puerta, a Sevilla midfielder, collapsed during a game and died shortly thereafter. When this happened I remembered Marc-Vivien Foe, the Cameroonian player who collapsed and died during the Confederations Cup in 2005. My dad sent me an article in the International Herald Tribune showing that this apparently is not an uncommon occurrence.

For over thirty years, Stephen King has been the dean of horror writers, and arguably, his biggest fan is Hans-Åke Lilja, the proprietor of the Lilja's Library website at http://www.liljas-library.com/. Mr. Lilja has collectd the information acquired over many years into a new book from Cemetery Dance called Lilja's Library: The World of Stephen King, available now, and illustrated by Glenn Chadbourne. It will stand as one of the great resources for information about Mr. King's life and work, and Mr. Lilja was kind enough to talk with us about the book and about himself.
Dead In The South - So, your book from Cemetery Dance is called Lilja's Library: The World of Stephen King. Tell us about it.
Hans-Åke Lilja - It's a collection of the reviews and interviews I had done for the site up till mid 2008 as well as some I did exclusively for the book. It's a version of the site that you can read in bed. It also has a very nice intro by Bev Vincent and an interview (also by Bev) with me about the site.
DITS - You are one of if not the biggest of all Stephen King fans. What is it about his work that speaks to you?
H-AL - The main thing is that he can tell a story really well. He makes you feel for the characters. He makes you care about them. He makes you feel like you know them. And on top of that he also has the ability to take something really ordinary and turn it into something scary, in a believable way.
DITS - How long have you been a Stephen King fan, and what got you started?
H-AL - I have been a fan since the mid 80's when I got a copy of Carrie for Christmas. I got hooked and read everything he had written after that.
DITS - Since you have knowledge of Mr. King's work I can only envy, what is your favorite or favorites among his many books and stories?
H-AL - Oh, that is the hard one! I can't pick just one. I really love The Long Walk which also shows King's ability to create great characters. Who else could write a book about people walking? I also love The Dark Tower, The Stand, IT and The Talisman. Of the shorter works I really like "Secret Garden, Secret Window" and "Survival Type".
|King and Lilja
DITS - Over the years, there have been many projects in connection with King announced that never saw the light of day, books that were never completed and movies that were never filmed. If you could wish just one of these projects into existence, what would it be?
H-AL - That's easy. I would love to see the animated movie version of Eyes of The Dragon that was planned some years ago. And if it were to be done today it would probably be even better since the technique is so much better.
DITS - Do you have any ambitions to write fiction yourself?
H-AL - No. Unfortunately I have no skills for writing stories.
DITS - Now that this monumental task is completed and the book is out, what is next up for Hans-Ake Lilja?
H-AL - I'm part of another book coming out next year called The Illustrated Stephen King Movie Trivia Book that I co-wrote with Brian Freeman and Kevin Quigley. It's a quiz book about almost every King movie done. It's also beautifully illustrated by Glenn Chadbourne.
After that I really don't know. I'd love to do another book about King but I need to find something that hasn't already been written about and that isn't as easy as one might thing… I will also keep the site going and I have some plans for it that I hope to be able to realize.

Sorry that I have neglected this thing for the most part of summer. (I'm apologizing to myself and maybe the two people that I know read this.) A lot has happened in the past few months. Last Wednesday I made the big move to Houston, well Pleak actually, let's not blur the lines. I'm sorry if you didn't know about this, and I really tried to let everyone know. I'm staying with my Aunt and Uncle, and they are kind enough to feed me and allow me to stay. I decided not to go to school this year, and I'm in the middle of figuring out where and what God wants from me. My hope is that I can be in a place where I can have the resources to use my full potential to serve the Kingdom.
In other news, the new CD is coming along, and I have started working on two new demos for the record. In the next few weeks I plan to hit it hard and see if I can write some more material. Another thing I've been hitting hard is working out. Blake Quimby, Michael Cash, and I have commited to 90 days of working out at 7:30am to P90X! It has been 3 days so far, and it's been intense. However I'm already feeling the effects of a healthier lifestyle with more energy, and plenty of sleep. Anyways, that's what I have been up to, be sure to engage in all that life has to offer. That's what I have been trying to do, and God is going to do some great things, I'm excited and I hope you are as well!

In a few days it will be the 100th anniversity of Amundsen of Norway reaching the South Pole for the first time. A lot of "tourists" are showing up at the pole for the occasion including the King of Norway. This is not him but one of my bosses Geordan McQuiston. He is seen here in the ice tunnels below the pole holding a thermometer which reads 65 degrees below 0. This is where all the water and sewage lines run and is forty feet below the surface. Geordan and a crew of three or four carpenters went there recently to put up a couple of RAC tents to serve as a gift shop/store and information center. If ya got tourists, ya gotta have a store.

One injured as CG opens fire on trawlers inside no-go zone
Kendrapara: A fisherman was injured as Coast Guard personnel opened fire at a group of trawlers which had sneaked into Gahirmatha marine sanctuary in Kendrapara district, the police said on Tuesday.
Kendrapara Superintendent of Police Satish Kumar Gajaviye said the injured person, Niranjan Mandal, was a crew member of a trawl which had intruded into prohibited seawaters.
He has been shifted to SCB Medical College and Hospital at Cuttack for treatment, the SP said.
The incident had occurred at about 9 PM last night in Gahirmatha coast when a Coast Guard ship on coastal security exercise spotted about 12 sea-worthy vessels, he said.
The Coast Guard personnel asked the crew of the vessels to surrender, but they didn't pay any heed to it and tried to flee, Gajaviye said.
Later the Coast Guard opened fire, resulting in the injury of the fisherman, the SP said quoting CG personnel.
While eight fishermen have been arrested for carrying out illegal fishing voyage in prohibited Gahirmatha marine sanctuary, the police were conducting separate investigation into the shootout incident, Gajaviye added.
The fishermen intruded into prohibited breeding zones of endangered olive ridley sea turtles and were arrested under legal provisions.

I am your target audience. I'm a 'Net-savvy 18-to-34-year-old male. I want information. I want it to look nice, and I want to have fun while I'm getting it.
As Advertising Age's Interactive Media & Marketing intern last summer I saw a lot of commercial Web sites. I saw a lot of good college tries and a lot of "professionally" done sites that aren't hitting the mark.
Take Rogaine (http://www.igroup.com/rogaine).
There is nothing here that isn't on the brand's TV spots or print ads. The copy even seems to read the same. Was there a need for this on the Web? Speaking as someone who, as both a 'Net-head and a balding-head, couldn't be more their target audience: I'm still not interested.
Ticketmaster plans to offer a service that many people would like to be able to do online: buy tickets for events (http://www.ticketmaster.com). It isn't yet available, but the site is still valuable for anyone who has ever bought a ticket.
Of course, they don't answer their e-mail, which is a problem.
I want a human to answer my mail. I don't want "Thank you for sending mail to customer-service.ticketmaster.com. A real person will read your message in due course."
Want more examples? The Saturn site (http://www.saturncars.com) has never sent me the paper pamphlet I asked for months ago. This is a brand targeted right at me, yet their idea of "Communicate with Saturn" is "You've probably already noticed that Saturn doesn't have an e-mail address-yet. We're working on it..."
This site has existed for months. There is no excuse for this.
Still want my advice? Here goes:
First, realize that the Web is an incredible and still developing new medium. If you're going to do it, do it right. Spend some time surfing, find what you like, find what works for you, then talk to some Web designers.
You're talkin' 'bout my generation, but talk with us too.M
Matt is a senior at Northwestern University. You can find his Web pages at http://charlotte.acns.nwu.edu/charm/, or you can e-mail him at [email protected] He checks his mail every two minutes and responds to it almost as often.

DEEP CREEK LAKE -- It's dark out here on Maryland's largest lake. The moon is obscured by patches of low drifting fog.
Fishing lights mounted on the gunwale of guide Bill Teeter's bassboat reveal a small rocky island nearby; elsewhere there are lights from shoreside summer homes, and the green, white and red blubs of other boats cutting the waves in all directions.
On summer nights, Deep Creek Lake is a busy place. There are joyriders and there are fishermen -- and some of the latter are scooting by in bag bassboats after a cast or two here 'n there. They are sampling waters for one of two bass tournaments that (( start in the morning.

The World According to Narayan
Posts Tagged power void
The importance and value of a backup stakeholder
Posted by Meenakshi Narayan in Business Related, IT Related on April 6, 2014
We have heard about the importance of a stakeholder to ensure the success of the project. Every article and white-paper written about the keys to the success of a project talk about the stakeholder- and the more influential the stakeholder, the better.
What is seldom talked about is the need for a back-up stakeholder. What do I mean? You identify the stakeholder @ the start of the project and leverage him/her to get the necessary support and backing from the larger organization. Even when there is a group of stakeholders, there is usually one person, who is the lead stakeholder with the most interest (and hopefully passion) in the successful completion and roll-out of the project.
However, we live in a constantly changing environment, with people moving out of their roles, and sometimes even changing jobs. When a key person leaves a company, it creates a power vacuum and someone else will step in to fill the void. Now, if the person leaving happened to be the biggest supporter of your project, you are suddenly exposed and you have no idea if the support for your project is going to continue. This is especially true in a very divided organization where individuals have strong likes and dislikes and opinions.
To mitigate this risk, it is a good practice to have a back-up stakeholder identified and prepped; you want to identify someone who is strong, is aligned with the project goals and objectives, and can potentially step up if and when the primary stakeholder leaves.
I have seen and heard of many projects fail because of a shift in the stakeholder- my guess would be that there was no secondary stakeholder identified and when the primary stakeholder left, there was nobody to back-up the project.

Video: Kayaking Iceland Part 2 - Dropping Aldeyjarfoss Falls
Aldeyjarfoss is the most famous waterfall in all of Iceland, dropping 20 meters (66 feet) into a deep pool below. In this video, we once again join pro kayakers Ben Brown and Anton Immler as they go in search of epic whitewater and major waterfalls in that country, with Ben stepping up to take on this big drop. What it does to his kayak is worth the view alone, but the clip continues on afterward, revealing more of the spectacular landscapes that they discovered on this trip.

MONROE, NC (WBTV) - WBTV is learning more about a new Monroe Dunkin' Donuts, accused of sickening a dozen of people with gastrointestinal illnesses.
The Dunkin' Donuts on West Roosevelt Boulevard opened the 31st of January and health officials are saying backed up sewage in the building's pipes on opening day caused the illnesses.
"We would walk over several times a day, maybe three times a week," said customer Jennifer Lingerfelt.
Lingerfelt works just a couple of doors down from the Dunkin' Donuts that Union County and State Health Officials say is responsible for sickening at least 12 people with gastrointestinal illnesses.
"I was a little shocked. I've been there several times," said customer Robin Helms.
Health Officials say of the 12 sick, six are employees and 6 are family members of those employees.
Officials say the illnesses started to occur back on February 10th.
The most common symptoms reported are diarrhea, abdominal cramping, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite.
"I noticed this morning that not many people are over there, but it is surprising they're still open during the investigation," said Lingerfelt.
Health officials say an anonymous caller informed them of the situation.
Other than a backed-up plumping system, officials haven't been able to identify exactly what is causing the outbreak.
So, why is the restaurant still open?
WBTV took that question to County health officials.
"They (Dunkin' Donuts) have taken all of the appropriate precautions to clean the place at this point. That's why they're still open, they've taken those steps," said Union County Human Services Executive Director Richard Matens.
Still, that doesn't mean peace of mind for some.
"Just not knowing, you know. I've eaten over there maybe 5 to 6 times and luckily nothing has happened to me," said Helms.
The investigation is still ongoing and in its early stages.
Health officials would not say if that anonymous caller was an employee or a customer.
Investigators say Dunkin' Donuts officials are cooperating, although there were some missteps on the company's behalf before Health Officials were notified.
A Dunkin' Donuts spokesperson tells WBTV they've hired an outside cleaning company to come in for extra sanitation.
People who became ill with gastrointestinal illness after visiting or consuming food or drink from the Dunkin Donuts in Monroe since January 31st, or ill close contacts of employees, should contact their medical provider and Union County Division of Public Health.

Exquisite novel by Humphreys (The Lost Garden, 2002, etc.) explores how humans are attracted to and fearful of the wildness they sense within themselves and those they love.
Alice is the center of six people who share a strong and troubled bond. They gather evenings on the edge of the woods, trying to call their dogs home. Alice is present because her out-of-work boyfriend took her dog to the woods to join the pack of wild dogs. Jamie's hated stepfather also brought his dog. Walter's dog was banished because he growled at Walter's grandchild. Lily's parents set her dog free to join the feral because they think she's not responsible enough to take care of her dog, due to brain damage suffered when she was a child (she accidentally set a fire, then was badly burned saving her baby brother's life). Malcolm's dog ran away while he was out of town (a neighbor was supposed to be looking after him). A biologist who studies wolf packs is there, too, calling for an adopted wolf that's gone back to the wild and is leader of the pack. Occasionally, the six actually do glimpse the dogs. Sharing memories of the walks they took with their dogs, they grow increasingly close. After a bad night with her boyfriend, Alice moves into an abandoned cabin on Malcolm's land, and soon the biologist becomes her lover. Her elegiac second-person description of their affair is the emotional anchor of the story. The dog pack lives on rodents and rabbits, occasionally a sheep, causing farmers to call for a hunt on them. As pressure builds, everyone seems headed for trouble. Lily disappears, Malcolm becomes jealous of Alice's lover, Jamie and some high-school mates rob a gas station, the biologist seems to cool toward Alice.
Mysterious, poetic, suspenseful, heartbreaking: magnificent fiction that evokes the complex connection between humans and the natural world in language that brings to mind Margaret Atwood's Surfacing.

"18 miles out"
The idea is take Randall out 18 miles from the farm and set him free. Why Randall is still alive is only logical in this mess of a series. I give up. What started hopefully with such drama has turned into a steaming pile of poorly done soap opera with zombies. Zombies whose capabilities stretch my imgination past its breaking point weekly.
On this road trip, we get the long anticipated showdown between Rick and Shane. Rick makes it plain that he knows everything. He knows about Otis, everything that went on with Lori and makes it clear that in order to go forward, Shane needs to accept some simple truths.
"That is my wife, my son and my unborn child."
Shane's balls shrink for some reason and he apologizes to Rick and they continue on down the road to drop their hostage off. That was boring. Back at the farm, Beth isn't all that appreciative they woke her from her coma. She openly discusses suicide as the only rational course with Lori. "I can't promise it will be all right in the end but we can make now a little better." is her reply. Such a comfort that Lori.
Rick drives past the 18 mile mark and comes upon a county public works building. Rick demonstrates the stupidest effing way possible to kill zombies. In the name of conserving ammo, he recommends using a knife. First, you cut yourself and lure them toward you with your blood through a chain link fence. Wait, what? These zombies who can tell a living human from a dead one easily enough to chase you around to begin with, need your fresh blood to come after you? F*ck you, writers. That's just f*cking stupid. And since zombie cooties are apparently transferrable by, oh I don't know, CONTACT WITH AN OPEN WOUND, the insanity was just too much for me.
After taking out the two guard zombies with knives to the head, Shane and Rick give a perfunctory search of the grounds and deem it safe enough for Randall. Rick's idea of compassion at this point is to leave Randall bound hand and foot in a county public works facility parking lot. When Randall screams and rightly points out "Why did you even save me?", Rick isn't moved.
But when he says he knows Maggie from school, Rick's inner wussie takes over. Shane is more than reasonable pointing out that since Randall knows how to get to the farm, killing him is the only option. Rick leaps onto his Moral High Horse to prevent Shane from shooting him. The donnybrook we expected earlier takes place and there is much banging and scuffling about. Some random gunfire too. Then Shane throws a wrench through the window behind Rick.
Zombies who were either sleeping very soundly or beamed in from the U.S.S. Zombieprise flow out of the building. The main building in the safe compound nobody decided to look inside of. The showrunners called the scene "Zombie Waterfall" and it's an apt description. It is ridiculously convenient and makes no sense even within the insane zombie physics of TWD and just insulting at this point. Rick is tackled by three zombies but doesn't get any zombie cooties because he's miraculously scratch and bite proof. Also manages not to get any cooties in his eyes or open mouth while he's blasting away at their heads while they lie on top of him.
Shane is chased by an even faster group and forced into a school bus without a gun. So he does the logical thing and cuts his hand open, smears blood on the door jamb and lures them in one at a time for the knife head kill. F*cking genius. They're already trying to get in. You have your chokepoint and your killzone. And now a big f*cking gash on your hand for what? Rick and Randall appear to save themselves while Shane looks on from inside the bus.
Of course Rick isn't leaving him. Randall drives the car while Rick blasts away at zombies and Shane scrambles aboard. Bro hugs and Randall is tossed back into the trunk. Rick admits he may have to kill Randall but just wanted to think about it. Considering Rick blew away Dave and Tony in the blink of an eye and his waffling almost got him and Shane killed, his admission reeks of stupidity, incompetence or both.
Meanwhile, Beth has passed Andrea's suicide test and...oh who am I kidding. Everything that happened on the farm was the bad soap opera I mentioned in the beginning. A lot of time spent with a character we barely know and Lori and Andrea, who I barely like. No Daryl, Glenn, Dale or T-Dog to be found. I'll probably stick with TWD until the end of this season but unless somebody shoots Rick in the face, I've given up hope on this show entertaining me.

Over three years of my life
Over 150 posts
Over 500 comments
Over 130,000 views.
Not bad for a guy sitting in his room in Kempton Park, South Africa, writing his little blog.
I say these stats with pride, because I worked hard at the blog, I tried to make it something different to what's out there, and I hope I achieved that in some small way.
I've shared EVERYTHING. Good and bad, tragic and triumphant. I've made enemies, I've lost friends, and I've gained respect and thanks. All because of the words I chose to use.
I've always said I was blogging before blogging was a word, which is partly the reason I have decided to call it a day as far as being a blogger is concerned. I have shared every aspect of my life with people, left no stone unturned, and this was bound to lead me to this point. Where I feel I have nothing left to write about. This is not a sudden decision, as the thought has been in my head for a while to end it. I think my birthday last week left me with a sense of its ok to let it go.
After each blog I was left more and more drained, and the pressure I put on myself to come up with something new to write about was immense, and it should never be that way.
I love being a writer. It's what I am. However, now I feel like it is time to let go of this blog and move onto other types of writing. More creative story telling I guess, I will certainly maintain my style in other projects I pursue, and will always look back fondly at this blog as something that added so much value to my life (and maybe yours).
I thank the loyal readers, I thank the haters, I thank everyone that took time to message me publically or privately with their thoughts, concerns, complaints or whatever emotion my blog brought out in you. That was always the intention.
And unlike the 5th season of 21 Jump Street, I will not stay around longer than I'm welcome; I will not get stuck in a mode of repetition. I will leave this blog with my head held high, with a feeling of I came, I saw, I conquered.
October has been a very telling month for me personally and I've decided to close a lot of chapters in my life, ironically November has the makings of being a game changer for me. I hope it leads to inspiration, confidence and a push in the right direction as the writer I am meant to be. I will continue to be inspired by an elite few, those who I love, those who I cannot be with, and those who I strive to prove wrong.
So thanks for being part of Burgs World…I hope you come back and revisit some of the many stories I have shared with you over the last three years or so, they will forever be part of my body of work, and if you'd like to follow what I do next…well, hopefully my work will find you.

Get out your calendars and a marker, folks, because the latest Teen Mom news needs to be marked down. Jenelle Evans is taking the responsible route!
The Teen Mom 2 star has been taking serious heat on Twitter because she's not currently enrolled in college -- even though co-stars Kailyn and Chelsea have both managed to juggle single motherhood with going back to school. But the way Jenelle tells it, she's got a pretty valid reason for putting off her degree. Any guesses?
She's broke!
Yup! Even working those three jobs, even with an MTV salary, Jenelle can't come up with the funds to pay for tuition, and she can't get financial aid either. Said Jenelle on Twitter:
"@KABKAR77: @PBandJenelley_1 how could u not?" Taxes, not qualified for the pell grant, bills, child support, etc.
Don't believe it? Well, consider this: a recent report on the Teen Moms' net worth claimed Jenelle is by far the poorest with a net worth of just about $10,000. And the money Jenelle is bringing in is all being claimed between rent, car insurance, and child support for Jace, plus some "debts" that the Teen Mom says she has to pay off to various people.
She didn't elaborate on whom she's indebted to, but this is a girl who has had to be bailed out of jail a few times. Her debts are sure to be many.
But so what? She's not the first person to rack up a pile of debt in this country. What's more important here is that she's doing something about it. She's working, and she's using the money to do something positive in her life.
More From The Stir: 'Teen Mom' Maci Bookout Takes 4-Year-Old Partying -- So What?
If she's actually paying people back for helping her out, Jenelle is finally taking the big step toward understanding that she is not the center of the universe. When other people step forward to help you out, you owe it to them to return the favor. And sometimes that means putting off what you want to accomplish until you've wiped the slate clean.
Jenelle has done plenty of shameful things in her life, but delaying college because she is being fiscally responsible is not one of them.
What do you think of Jenelle putting off college? Is this a sign of a new Jenelle?

A few days I switched back to Windows Phone 7.5 as my main smartphone operating system. Why? Well, because I can. I like to change things up every now and then, and blessed as I am with an iPhone 3GS (currently pulling duty at my best friend as her portable gaming device), Galaxy SII with CM9, and an HTC HD7, I have the luxury of doing so. Now that I'm back in the neat, tidy, and straight-lined arms of Windows Phone 7 - three long-standing issues really break the illusion, which all come from one source: the networking stack.

RE[2]: Correction
by sagum on Thu 3rd May 2012 11:48 UTC in reply to "RE: Correction"
My WP LG e900 has one of the smallest screens at 3.7" (i think..) and I have quite big hands, not fat just big. And the keypad on the Windows Phone is great, I was a bit unsure of it before with all the problems with autocorrection on iOS, but I find I'm getting more and more lazy with my spelling and aiming now because it feels like I'm just bashing my finger randomly and the Winodws Phone somehow knows what I'm trying to say.... Now I feel like an Chimp.

40: A Wonderful Series of Unexpected Events?
So, I was just in Seattle this weekend for my cousin's wedding. (I'm pretty sure that's all that needs to be said.)
…Just kidding.
However, this past weekend has most definitely been an adventure story worth describing in fine detail. I would have to say a good bit of this following story will be something anyone can relate to as well as a great comedy of family events.

While the website Venture Populist doesn't appear to be updated anymore, it contains a number of articles of interest to Angel Investors, not the least is this proposal to include a "put" option into Angel equity investment docs that "would require the company to repurchase their equity securities at fair market value" after some predetermined future time, and subject to a number of conditions.
One of the questions we at AFI often get is: how can you invest in small private firms that don't plan or expect to have an "exit". Here's yet another answer to that question.

Hiv/Aids - Poem by Cedil C. Booker
AIDS is the disease we now face
Since it's affecting the human race
Whether your color is white or black
Don't be misled, AIDS is a fact
Have the test done for HIV
Or rather say...no not me!
It's better to have the HIV Test
So your mind can be at rest
This disease is not for the good or bad
It just kills you and that's so sad
Diagnosed with AIDS is like an outcast
This attitude determines how long you'll last
People are scared to even touch you
And frightened to tie a lace on your shoe
Some would not call you on the phone
But instead leave you all alone
Families and friends do not draw near
This ignorance is because of fear
AIDS patients are dying with broken hearts
Added to the pains of their body parts
They cry...don't remove yourself from me
Because I'm diagnosed with HIV
For really it's a blood borne disease
So please give me a hug and a squeeze
I need to be loved more and more
Come into my room, don't stand at the door
Sit and talk or read me a book
Don't judge me by the way I look
Remember AIDS was not bought at the mall
Even thought it's affecting all
Inspite of AIDS, give them your love
You will be rewarded by God above

Ministerial Conference on Immunization in Africa
Africa has made tremendous gains over the last several years in increasing access to immunization. Expanded immunization coverage was largely responsible for a 55% reduction in child deaths across the continent from 1990 to 2012. Despite this remarkable progress, Africa is falling behind on meeting global immunization targets. One in five children in Africa still does not receive all the basic life-saving vaccines he or she needs, and fewer than 15 African countries fund more than 50% of their national immunization programs. The African continent is striving to reach every child with life-saving vaccines, but attaining this goal will require robust immunization systems, active community support and demand, and strong political will.

If you are a user of OpenOffice.org or LibreOffice you might be familiar with styles and formatting. These are pre-defined text formats that you can select from in order to change various aspects of your text. With both OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice you have the ability to create custom styles and formats that can be used, and re-used, easily. And best of all, this is all done without a single bit of scripting or coding. Thanks to the Styles and Formatting tool, you can become a LibreOffice power-user in no time.
The Tool vs The Drop-down
Most users select their document styles from the style drop-down (see Figure 1). From this drop-down you can select some of the more popular styles available. By selecting the text you want the style to apply to and then selecting the style from the drop-down, your text will automatically reformat according to your selection.
But what most users do not know is that there are numerous other styles available. If you were to click the "More..." entry in the drop-down the Styles and Formatting window will open up. The Styles and Formatting window is where the serious user does their formatting work.
As you can see (in Figure 2), with very little interaction, you have more styles to choose from. What you are seeing in this window, however, is only one category of style. The bottom drop-down of this window allows you to select from numerous categories for styles and formatting. There are twelve different categories in all to select from. One of those categories is "Custom" and this is where your own, user-created, styles and formats will live. Let's create our first style.
Creating a custom style
When creating a custom style you will have a lot of options available to you. Any type of formatting that can be applied to text in LibreOffice (font, size, color, alignment, tabs, numbering, drop caps, background, etc.), can be used in the creation of your custom style. So the combinations are seemingly limitless.
In order to begin the process of creating your own style you first want to right-click a blank area in the Styles and Formatting window and select "New." When the Paragraph Style window opens (see Figure 3) you can begin the process of creation. Of course there are particular areas you want to pay close attention to. Let's examine those areas.
The organizer tab allows you to configure the specifics of how the style will work within the Styles and Formatting window. In this tab you will want to be sure you give your style a unique name, select what style should be applied after your custom style (after you hit return when using your custom style), and what Category it should live in. Note: For Category, I would suggest "Custom."
You can also link a style to another style. This is useful if you are basing a style off of another. When you do this, if you make a change to one style that change is always reflected in all styles linked to that. Linking styles comes in handy if you are creating a number of similar styles with, maybe, one variation (like font size). Using Linked Styles ensures when you make a change that change is reflected across the board.
You might notice, as you go through the bulk of the tabs in the Paragraph Styles window, that the bulk of these configuration options are very straight-forward. That is because they are simply font/paragraph formatting that you have most likely used since you began using a word processing applications. The Paragraph Styles tabs are:
- Indents & Spacing: Configure such things as indenting for before text, after text, and first line. You can also configure paragraph and line spacing here.
- Alignment: Set up the alignment of your style. This also includes "Text-to-text" alignment which configures the horizontal alignment between your style and other styles (or non-formatted text).
- Text Flow: This tab allows you to configure hyphenation, breaks, and paragraph splits.
- Font: As you would expect, this tab allows you to configure the font (including size) of your style.
- Font Effects: In this tab you configure the font color, the relief of the text (embossed or raised), over-lining, strike-through, underlining, and shadow. Note that both the Font and Font Effects tab have a real-time preview of what your text will look like.
- Position: If you need Super/Sub script, Rotation, and non-default spacing of your text, this is the tab that handles those options.
- Condition: More on this in a moment.
- Borders: Does your style need a border? If so, this is where you can configure the spacing of the border, the style of the border, the color, and shadow of the border.
- Background: This tab allows you to create a background color for your style.
- Drop Caps: Some leading styles might call for drop caps. If so, this is where you can configure how drop caps are handled in your style.
- Tabs: Configure the type of tab, the fill character, and the position of tabs.
- Outline and numbering: This allows you to apply an outline numbering hierarchy for your style.
Conditional Styles
Conditional styles are very helpful as they work to format your text differently based on where they are applied in your text. The most obvious example is font color. Let's say you want to use a specific style of text with a font color of black. However, if that same formatting should be used within a style that contains a black filled background, that color of that text wold automatically turn to white. In other words: When typing in X use style 1, but if you are typing in Y use style 2. That is how Conditional Styles work.
To create conditions for your styles click on the Conditions tab (see Figure 4) and check the box marked "Conditional Style." Once that box is checked you can access the conditions. What you want to do is first select the context condition from the left pane and then select the conditional paragraph you want applied when associated with the selected context.
What will then happen is your new style will be formatted exactly as you have created it unless it happens to fall within the context you have selected in the conditional styling tab. Should the style fall within the selected context, the style will then be modified to match the paragraph style associated with the context.
Now, say you want the paragraph style associated with the context to be similar to your custom style with minimal exception. For that you might need to create a second custom style to match what is required for the context. When you have done that you can then select the new custom style (from the Paragraph styles) to associate with the context.
It might seem confusing at first, but once you've created your first conditional style you will understand how it works perfectly.
Save That Style
Now that you've created your custom style, click OK and it's ready to use. To access your custom style you will need to open the Styles and Formatting window, select the category you saved your style to, and select it for you. Congratulations, you have taken a huge step towards becoming a LibreOffice power user!

Dog to vet yesterday got an enema, tonight has bloody rectal discharge.
Yesterday we took our chihuahua Goldie to the vet to get checked because she hasnt made BM in 3 days and seems weak/yelps when we reposition her, she wasnt as active. X-rays at the vet showed clogged digestive tract sowe had an enema done on her. When we went to pick her up she looked fine, there was no discharge ont he way home, she started walking around when we brought her home and made liquidy poo, once on purpose I think, and one where she was just standing and it came out it looked like without her wanting it to. She's a house dog and sleeps in the bed with my mom in her own blanket. Well during the evening she was put in her blanket and layed there, she doesn't move much I thought just because she was recovering from the enema, but when I went to move her she was laying in some of her own fluids, It didnt smell like poo and it was a little bit bloody with red color but not as much, the surprising thing is she just layed there and didnt move while it was leaking out from her and she wasnt uncomfortable or is she so weak that she doesnt care to move anymore? She looks alert when i call her name or go to pet her but she isnt as active or moves alot as she usually does. She is laying next to me at the moment and every now and then I check and there is still seepage, its more reddish in color and kind of globular/ not fully liquidy blood. Im worried and scared for my dog right now but theres not much I can do I just spent 300$ at the vet today and have not much money right now. She's been with our family for abotu 10 years now we've had her since she was a puppy but 3 weeks ago she was active, jumping on beds and everything and recently she has been weak, doesnt seem to make the effort to get up and drink from her bowl if shes thirsty, and seems to just sit/lay instead of getting up to go pee/poo if she needs to. Usually she repositions herself to comfortable position when she lays down to go to sleep but now she just stays in the position we place her in and doesnt move much. =( the bloody seepage is scaring me, I've searched so many places for answers and there is not many clear answers I can find. I plan to call the vet as soon as they open and ask about this, right now it is 1AM where I live and im just scared for my dog who i love so much.
twelveday, I would be treating this as an emergency. If you haven't already, please get her into a vet on an emergency basis.
I hope Goldie is okay. Please keep us posted on how she's doing!

Ana and Fabiano's Cozy Canadian Home
Name: Ana and Fabiano
Location: Villeray Montreal, Canada
Size: 950 square feet
Years lived in: 1 year; Owned
It's been a little more than 1 year since my husband and I moved to this 950 square foot 2-bedroom apartment in the cozy neighbourhood of Villeray in Montreal. We chose this area because it's vibrant and multicultural.
We spend a lot of time decorating the space and we're really proud of our new home. I'm a Digital Marketer and my hubby is a graphic designer. We both love design, music, art, comic books, video games and cooking. Our place reflects our personalities and passions.
One of our favourite parts of the apartment is our entryway. It's inspired by our hometown, Brasilia. We tried to bring a little piece of where we came from to warm up our cold Montreal winters.
There you'll find some photographs of Brasilia's retro-futuristic architecture, a street sign of our old address and a panel with tile patterns designed by Brazilian artist Athos Bulcão.
Thanks, Ana & Fabiano!
