Brief Summary | The goal of the proposed study is to contrast the relative efficacy of closed-cell stents versus open-cell stents in preventing periprocedural cerebral embolization in high-risk patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic extracranial carotid stenosis undergoing carotid artery stenting (CAS). |
Detailed Description | Stroke is responsible for more than 10% of all deaths and much severe disability in developed countries. In the United States, approximately 600,000 new strokes are reported annually, of which 150,000 are fatal, and more than 4,000,000 surviving stroke victims are affected by significant disability. Seventy-five percent of strokes occur in the distribution of the carotid arteries and are considered of a thromboembolic etiology, most of which originate in carotid lesions. Carotid artery stenting (CAS) with cerebral embolic protection is currently the preferred treatment of carotid stenosis in high risk surgical patients, i.e., those with significant comorbidities or a hostile neck from previous surgical procedures or radiation. Although several predictors of adverse outcomes after CAS have been identified, the effects of device characteristics, including stent design, on neurologic adverse events have not been established. The proposed study will be a randomized prospective controlled trial designed to test the hypothesis that the implantation of closed-cell stents for carotid lesions in high-risk patients will be associated with a reduced perioperative cerebral microembolization, as detected by transcranial Doppler and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, and reduced 30-day stroke, myocardial infarction, and death rates when compared with the implantation of open-cell stents. |

More copies of this ISBNThe Imperial Cruise: A Secret History of Empire and Warby James Bradley
Synopses & ReviewsReview:"Theodore Roosevelt steers America onto the shoals of imperialism in this stridently disapproving study of early 20th-century U.S. policy in Asia. Bestselling author of Flags of Our Fathers, Bradley traces a 1905 voyage to Asia by Roosevelt's emissary William Howard Taft, who negotiated a secret agreement in which America and Japan recognized each other's conquests of the Philippines and Korea. (Roosevelt's flamboyant, pistol-packing daughter Alice went along to generate publicity, and Bradley highlights her antics.) Each port of call prompts a case study of American misdeeds: the brutal counterinsurgency in the Philippines; the takeover of Hawaii by American sugar barons; Roosevelt's betrayal of promises to protect Korea, which 'greenlighted' Japanese expansionism and thus makes him responsible for Pearl Harbor. Bradley explores the racist underpinnings of Roosevelt's policies and paradoxical embrace of the Japanese as 'Honorary Aryans.' Bradley's critique of Rooseveltian imperialism is compelling but unbalanced. He doesn't explain how Roosevelt could have evicted the Japanese from Korea, and insinuates that the Japanese imperial project was the brainstorm of American advisers. Ironically, his view of Asian history, like Roosevelt's, denies agency to the Asians themselves. Photos, maps. One-day laydown." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
Book News Annotation:In 1905, President Theodore Roosevelt dispatched a secret diplomatic mission led by Secretary of War William Howard Taft, who traveled across the Pacific to Hawaii, Japan, the Philippines, China, and Korea, and negotiated secret agreements that laid the foundation for America's Pacific engagement from World War II on. Bradley, the son of one of the flag raisers at Iwo Jima and the author of Flags of Our Fathers, tells the story of these events that affected World War II, communism in China, and the Korean War. He also describes what led up to the mission, including the previous US involvements in the Pacific. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Synopsis:In 1905 President Teddy Roosevelt dispatched Secretary of War William Howard Taft on the largest U.S. diplomatic mission in history to Hawaii, Japan, the Philippines, China, and Korea. Roosevelt's glamorous twenty-one year old daughter Alice served as mistress of the cruise, which included senators and congressmen. On this trip, Taft concluded secret agreements in Roosevelt's name.
In 2005, a century later, James Bradley traveled in the wake of Roosevelt's mission and discovered what had transpired in Honolulu, Tokyo, Manila, Beijing and Seoul. In 1905, Roosevelt was bully-confident and made secret agreements that he though would secure America's westward push into the Pacific. Instead, he lit the long fuse on the Asian firecrackers that would singe America's hands for a century.

Will Berkovitz, JFS's new CEO
For the first time in almost three decades, Jewish Family Service of Greater Seattle is set to bring on a new leader. Will Berkovitz, who will succeed long-time CEO Ken Weinberg, takes over the social-service agency at the beginning of July. "It is extremely exciting," Berkovitz said, but "I really find it immensely humbling." The humility comes, in large part, from the work Weinberg and his staff have done in building the organization from what served a much smaller Jewish community with fewer needs when he began in 1975 to an agency that now has nearly 200 employees and a $9 million budget that serves more than just Jews. JFS now serves clients across the region from multiple religious, socioeconomic and ethnic groups. "This community feels just a passion and sense of protectiveness to the agency. It's really special," Berkovitz said. Berkovitz, 44, is already well known within Seattle's Jewish community. He is an ordained rabbi who spent seven years at Hillel at the University of Washington, four of them as its executive director. The social justice and service work he infused into Hillel led him three years ago to the national Jewish social justice and service organization Repair the World, where he served as vice president of partnerships. His history will allow him to hit the ground running at JFS, he said. Still, "there's going to be an awesome learning curve." However, he added, "it's not completely foreign territory for me, and I'm hoping the professionals there will be teaching me and I'll be a student of theirs for a strong period of time." Berkovitz's career has taken him parallel to the Jewish Family Service world. Last year he was a keynote speaker at a national conference for the umbrella agency for Jewish Family Services across the country. He provides ongoing couples counseling, which he has done since his Hillel days. And his travels with young adults at Hillel to perform service trips in developing countries brought him in contact with indigenous populations similar to those served by JFS's immigrant and refugee resettlement program. Berkovitz will come into JFS with a vision for how he wants to run the agency, but he will need to put that into the context of what already exists. "It's going to be an interesting balancing act," said Eric LeVine, JFS's incoming board president. Berkovitz's vision begins with continuing what he did at both Hillel and Repair the World in measuring outcomes of program areas, which feeds into a revisiting of the agency's strategic plan, some of which had to be put on the backburner after the start of the 2008 recession. And the need for emergency services such as the food bank and rent assistance continues to grow. "Demand in a post-recession world still continues to be very high," LeVine said. "It's a great opportunity for us to take a step back and challenge the status quo a little bit and test our assumptions." Of course, revisiting the agency's strategy means growing the agency, which means finding new revenue streams. "A static agency is a dying agency, so I think we can't be static," Weinberg said. "We have to find ways of finding new leads, new projects, as well as those things that are already important to us." Even in the very near term, Berkovitz and his staff will face some heady obstacles. "I can see cuts from the federal government, cuts from the state government, and I think it's going to be enormously challenging to keep the agency going [and] keep the agency vital, to grow where we need to grow," Weinberg said. In the long term, Berkovitz can see expansion — and revenue — from small neighborhood service centers, much in the same way banks are opening corner branches, or using the Internet to reach people in outlying areas to provide services. In the near term, the implementation of the Affordable Care Act will affect both the agency's clientele and its administration, as JFS will be required to provide health insurance for its sizeable part-time staff. Similarly, as the Baby Boom generation approaches retirement age, the need for Medicare and other services will be unprecedented. "For the next 10 years we're going to see the largest increase of older adults in the history of the world," Weinberg said. "What are we going to do about it? And who will assist us? Who will be our partners in facing those challenges? "I will do my best to share with him my thinking on these, but he and his team here will have to come up with solutions," Weinberg said. As much as JFS supporters, and Berkovitz himself, acknowledge the big shoes he will need to fill following Weinberg's departure, Weinberg said Berkovitz needs to be judged on his own merits. "He is his own unique human being with his own strengths, and I think it's really important the community, the board, the workers, everyone pull for him, and sort of let go of Ken," Weinberg said. Berkovitz agreed. "I come from a rabbinic background, so I believe deeply in understanding the roots of the tradition that comes before you and not cutting yourself off from your roots," he said. "It's in my nature to move with that understanding." That reflective perspective was a big reason why Berkovitz rose above, as LeVine put it, the 20 candidates the agency vetted for the CEO position. "He brings a really outside-the-box creativity at how to look at some of the problems the agency's been looking at for decades," LeVine said. Michele Rosen, who with former Starbucks president Howard Behar led the CEO search committee, told JTNews that Berkovitz's ability to connect both with donors and the agency's clientele resonated with the search committee. "That was the first thing that people noticed, that he really had empathy for the people that come to JFS," she said. "I think that's critical." Berkovitz did not slide through the search process, Rosen emphasized. Her committee began searching in August, and continued until the May 3 announcement. "There were at least 20 candidates that…had long screening processes, so this was not a shoo-in at all," she said. "We had to do right by us and by him." Rosen, was a board member at Hillel UW during Berkovitz's tenure there, so she knew firsthand about his work on social justice issues and how he centered that mission around Judaism. But she said many members of the search committee learned only during the interview about that added dimension to how he can move JFS forward. "Will's ability to understand the role of Judaism…and say this service that we perform on behalf of others, the responsibility we feel to take care of people in need who can't take care of themselves at that moment, is in the very of DNA of what is in the Torah and other teachings," she said. "That's our responsibility." Berkovitz has long struggled with the idea of God and religion, and he said he has given a lot of thought into what the Jewish part of Jewish Family Service will mean in the future. "It's some of the work that's done in a secular space that actually allows for the possibility of serving the Jewish community as well," he said. "The balance of that is going to be something that is going to have be worked out deeply." It was only having the opportunity to work on a national scale that gave Berkovitz the realization he could be more effective at home. "The impact I want to make is on the local scale in our community," he said. "The degree to which that was important to me, that my kids could see [my wife] Lelach and I live out our values deeply like that, I don't think I could have understood it until I was in the thick of it."

Transgenic Mice
Transgenic mouse knockout system is commonly used transgenic technology can be divided into two categories:
Transgenic mice (transgenic mice) to genes microinjected recombinant DNA Direct then injected into mice, the original nucleus of the fertilized egg, is the production of transgenic mice, the highest success rate. Way, hundreds of large kb DNA fragment, this method can be used into the fertilized eggs. Typically, the number of duplicate genes will also want to implant into the same genomic position. These Inserted transgene can be combined by in situ hybridization (in situ hybridization) to confirm the position Home, because the location of transgene insertion and not be pre-measured. Therefore, the original source of each species Transgenic animals (founder animals) must establish its own independent transgenic base.
Strains of animals (transgenic line).
Since the first gene transfers into mice were successfully executed in 1980, transgenic mice have allowed researchers to observe experimentally the roles of genes in development, physiology and disease. Transgenic mice have become a real human pathology model and their use has dramatically increased for the past two decades. Medical devices companies have also succeeded in developing state-of-the-art miniature equipments adapted to mice enabling researchers to maximize their project study.
Transgenic Organism has provided the tools for exploring many biological questions and two methods of producing transgenic mice are widely used as follows:
- transforming embryonic stem cells (ES cells) growing in tissue culture with the desired DNA
- injecting the desired gene into the pronucleus of a fertilized mouse egg.
Normal mice cannot be infected with polio virus. They lack the cell-surface molecule that, in humans, serves as the receptor for the virus. So normal mice cannot serve as an inexpensive, easily-manipulated model for studying the disease. However, transgenic mice expressing the human gene for the polio virus receptor can be infected by polio virus and even.
However, with current transgenesis methods, as the additive transgenesis technology, less than 10% of the host embryos integrate the foreign DNA into their genome. This integration process occurs in a random fashion, lacking control of gene expression levels. Besides once the animal founder is born and matured, there is no assurance that the founder animal's offspring will inherit the foreign DNA. All these barriers slow down research developments.
Today, a new and innovative technology has revealed to overcome these barriers. A biotechnological company specialized in custom made transgenic mice, introduces the fastest and most powerful tool in transgenesis to boost research activities: from DNA to characterized founders in 2 months only.
The new Technology is an outstanding way for in vivo target validation, drug optimization and pre-clinical studies. It consolidates the enhanced lineage contribution of the powerful BPES cells with the advantages of targeted construct-copy insertion at the HPRT docking site. The unique technology allows the generation of predictable and reproducible models with high efficiency in a very short time that particularly fits with the demands of the research market (overexpression, gene humanisation, in vivo RNAi models).

Mariners are passing their mid-terms
Published on Wed, Jun 29, 2011 by

What if I would've told you back when the Major League baseball season started that the Seattle Mariners would be just a half game out of first place come June 19?
You would've put me down with a case of old-age-has-made-this-guy-mad.
Are the Mariners for real or are they just teasing us being 1½ games out of first place by June 27 after taking two of three against Florida when the Marlins were the visiting team at Safeco and that after dropping three one-run games in Washington?
Are they really in this pennant race for the long haul or is the American League West such a disaster that a team with a .500 record can be in contention?
Atlanta and San Diego this week are to wind up inter-league play and then go down to Oakland and the L.A. Angels of Anaheim to see what the Mariners really are made of.
Two of three against the Braves, a couple of wins against the Padres, then winning the Oakland and L.A. series would set up the Mariners real nice after the break.
How are they staying in the pennant chase? With great pitching, adequate defense and great pitching, from starters and relievers. Situational hitting and scoring with men on base has been a problem for Seattle, but that's also true, for that matter, for many baseball teams.
Seattle probably is leading the league in men left on base in scoring position. Take last Sunday night. They wasted a good effort by starting pitcher Doug Fister, but scored a run in the top of the 10th inning on a double, a flyout which moved a runner to third and a wild pitch when the Marlins were trying to walk a batter intentionally.
Let's look at the players:
When the season started, only Ichiro was a fixture and the right fielder continues in that pasture. He had a big slump in May but is coming out of it and may get his 200 hits after all.
Franklin Gutierrez was on the disabled list when the season opened and the team tried Michael Saunders in center, but he's back in Tacoma and Gutierrez is the almost-every-day center fielder as he still is recovering from the illness that robbed him of pounds and strength.
When he needs a rest, they plug in Greg Halman, the rookie. He also helps in left. Milton Bradley is long gone and they brought up Carlos Peguero and Mike Wilson, but Wilson is back in Tacoma. Mike Carp came up from the Rainiers but hasn't seen regular action. He can play outfield or first base but may be then next designated hitter.
Peguero has been a surprise and I like the way they are playing him and Halman. Looks like Gutierrez's at bats are getting better, so the Mariner outfield has speed, they can all hit and I'm happy.
Chone Figgins started the season at third and he's been the everyday fixture on the hot corner since, except for the past week. He's mired in a super batting slump and it's telling on his defense, so utility man Adam Kennedy was at third most of last week and hitting very well.
Brendon Ryan moved up to second in the batting order and the shortstop has been terrific in the field. Jack Wilson was the second sacker, having moved from shortstop, but now is the sub and mentoring the new rookie Dustin Ackley (more on him later).
Justin Smoak has been a real delight at first with his defense and he's among the tops in runs batted in. He will just get better.
I had doubts about Miguel Olivo, but not any more as he's proving to be a durable backstop, a great handler of pitchers and he's hitting for power and average. He has more home runs already than the entire catching corps had last year.
Chris Gimenez sees infrequent action, but is a great backup.
Adam Moore is on the DL for the rest of the season.
DH — Remember Jack Cust? I thought he was going to help, but Cust has not hit his weight, is not hitting for power or average and he will not be the regular designated hitter the rest of the way.
He might be traded at the end of July, but I don't know of any team who needs him.
In the meantime, Halman, Kennedy, Carp and Peguero are capable.
We knew going in that Felix Hernandez, Erik Bedard, Doug Fister and Jason Vargas were going to be solid, but little did we know that rookie Michael Pineda was going to be so good.
A bullpen of Jamey Wright, Chris Ray, David Pauley, Aaron Laffey, Shawn Kelley and Brandon League has contributed and been great … with a few exceptions. David Aardsma is eligible for reinstatement, but don't hold your breath on this one.
What's needed?
One more solid bat in the middle of the order would be great and maybe Ackley will be the guy.
Ackley was selected by the Mariners, then signed and has been groomed through the minors by the Mariners and was called up from Tacoma in June like everyone expected as a 2009 second overall draft choice.
Drafted as an outfielder, he has been transformed into a second baseman and, based on the first two weeks, he's not far away from being a top second sacker and it looks like manager Eric Wedge has told the young man to go out and play, you are the second baseman from here on in.
His bat is crisp and he hits ringing doubles, has a couple of triples already and a homer. He also has some patience at the plate and right now probably is the toughest two-strike hitter on the club.
The last top draft choice to play every day in a Seattle uniform was a kid named Alex Rodriguez and remember he struggled his first two years before his big breakout in 1996 when he became an all-star. It was too bad he had to move on when free agency beckoned.
Are they going to be able to stay in the race after the All-Star break? One would hope so. Law of averages says the hitting will get better.
MLB notes
I really like inter-league play but would suggest that when a National League team visits an American League park they play National rules and visa versa. That would enable the home fans to see what it's like in the other league.
The All-Star break is coming and I still like the fact that the winning team decides which league hosts the first game of the World Series.
The Mariners still are the only team in baseball that started with a five-man pitching rotation and hasn't deviated from the fab five.
Better hitting and all of those starters would be in the 8-10 win range.

Before appearing as a guest on the John Elway Show on 9NEWS KUSA-TV tonight, Head Coach John Fox met the Denver Broncos Quarterback Club, the official booster club of the Broncos.
The group has met every head coach in Broncos history, and tonight was the first meeting between the group and Fox.
On the show, Executive Vice President of Football Operations John Elway said that while the team would hope for a better record, it likes its standing at the halfway point of the season.
"Being a game out, we're excited to be in that position," Elway said. "Yesterday was our best football game of the year. The guys played with a bunch of passion and we made a bunch of big plays, which you have to do, especially on the road.
"To beat the Raiders in the black hole was also a very nice feeling."
Tomorrow — Tuesday — Elway will join Broncos TV's Chris Hall for another 'Elway Live' show at 2 p.m. MDT on DenverBroncos.com. Elway will discuss the team's 38-24 win in Oakland on the live, online-streamed audio broadcast. The show is 30 minutes long and features fan-submitted questions for Elway.
Questions are currently being taken via Twitter and will continue to be taken during the show. To submit your questions, tweet using the hashtag #ElwayLive.
After the show, the broadcast will be archived to DenverBroncos.com and will also be available as a podcast through iTunes.

Festival Website: http://www.ultramusicfestival.com
Festivalgoers braved the Miami afternoon sun all three days in line, only to be later graced by the warm, moderate nights Florida is famous for. While early afternoon Sunday started off a little cloudy, the weather held out long enough for one final day of madness in Bayfront Park.
Steve Aoki. Asian Jesus' set was certainly one of the most memorable events of the festival. Filled with Aoki's usual antics, including cake throwing, "whiteraverrafting" (crowd surfing in a giant inflatable raft) and pouring champagne all over his fans.
The energy on the Main Stage was palpable and though he danced around without doing too much manipulation, it was a daylight party that set the scene for a wild night to come.
Little Dragon. I wasn't quite sure what to expect going into Little Dragon, but was surprised at the attendance of their set, considering it was early in the day. Truly "live" music performed with real instruments and vocalists didn't make up a large part of Ultra's lineup, so this was a rarity.

Pretty Lights. Derek Vincent Smith, better known by his stage name, Pretty Lights, closed out the first night of Ultra with an awe-inspiring performance. Smith opened with an extended version of his hit "Hot Like Sauce," diving into his set with live remixing and a blinding light show.
Favoring more of the upbeat songs in his catalog, Pretty Lights kept the energy level high and the crowd moving – a decision that the thousands of fans in attendance certainly didn't object to.New, improved venue. Fellow festivalgoers praised Bayfront Park's delightful view of the water and surplus of concrete, organized areas for food, drinks and merchandise. This year's festival was much more structured and better maintained than in previous years, with a massive cleaning crew doing constant rounds throughout the park.
Diverse crowd. While there were still plenty Florida locals making up Ultra's massive crowd, many people I talked to had traveled from all over the world, including Holland, Switzerland and Portugal all to enjoy the Miami weather and the world's finest selection of electronic dance music.
Bassnectar's festival-closing performance. Bassnectar packed the Live Stage on the final night of Ultra, performing a setlist full of material from his newest album, "Divergent Spectrum," as well as some old favorites.
Many of the park's security guards could be seen moving to the beat as Bassnectar rounded out the final few songs of his set. He ended the night by releasing a mind-blowing amount of confetti into the air before wishing everyone a fond farewell – a perfect end to amazing three days.Extermination. Deadmau5 did not take part in this year's Ultra Music Festival, citing it's high ticket prices and strict contracts with artists as reasons he decided to opt out after many years as a headliner. VIP tickets were almost $600.00, so he had a point.
M83-minute delay. What appeared to be last-minute technical adjustment for the beginning of M83's first performance in Miami soon turned into a 45-minute frenzy by the stage crew and sound technicians.
As the minutes ticked by, an anxious crowd waited what seemed like an eternity until M83 finally took the stage long enough to perform just three songs. While the French group's first performance at Ultra surely wasn't their best, the band's determination and enormous amount of energy still made the performance worthwhile.
50-year-old (like a) virgin. Madonna made a surprise appearance at the start of Avicii's set at the Main Stage late Sunday night, confirming the rampant rumors about her traveling down to Miami to promote her new album. Her not-so-subtle reference to illegal substances was also a bit of a shocker and many (like Deadmau5 for example) blasted her the next day for it.
The pretty lights. Taking advantage of the new venue in downtown Miami, Ultra dazzled the crowd with massive light shows, using the surrounding skyscrapers as a canvas for an array of colorful patterns and designs.
On Friday, Ultra went out with a bang as the explosive noise of fireworks echoed through the downtown streets of Miami as the massive crowds dispersed into the city.Aside from the aforementioned Madonna appearance, Lil Jon made an appearance during Afrojack's set early Friday night and Steve Aoki's set Sunday afternoon, helping to hype the crowd. Timbaland also made a surprise appearance during Dev's performance.
This festival was absolute insanity, and the good weather and positive atmosphere created from the staff and other festivalgoers ensured everyone was in good spirits. With a lot of sitting areas as well as a variety of food, stages and genres to choose from, there was festival subculture for everyone to enjoy.

Ford Windstar Alternator and Battery Problems
vidir Posts: 5When i replaced with new battery and alternator the lamp still showed up always in the first start but in almoust all cases in the second start the charging light did not show.
i have been googleing around about the PCM (Car Computer) and engine light that is not going away when the car is fixed i found a solutions in another forum that after fixing your car you have to remove the battery minus cable for few minutes.
i suppose that is resetting the PCM´s failure logs or whateaver??
So i did actually that today, i started the car "two times" drowe around our village until i was 100% shure that the battery was fully charged (meshuren almoust 13 volts) the i removed the battery minus cable for 10 minutes and replacing it.
Well i have been starting the car in the last hour about 25 times withous seeing any charging light :-D
I realy hope this is the solution, resetting the PCM with removing only the cable.. ?
But if this is not working tomorrow or later i will let you all know :-D -
alshouse Posts: 3I have a 2002 ford windstar, It has had a charging, and battery problem just about sice we brought it. I have replace the battery 4 times, and the alternator 2 times. now it has a shut down problem. I did some research, and determined it was the pcm, but it repair the charging problem between the pcm, and the alternator, but did not cure the shut down problem. took it to the repair shop, now he is telling me that the alternator is producing an rf wave which is shutting down the the plusing of the fuel injectors, and stopping the firing of the plugs. reseach indicates that there is a/c voltage riding on the d/c voltage which is interfering with the pcm. it seems that the alternator is the problem. maybe a shield around the alternator or replacing the alternator untill we get a good one. I do not understand why ford has not fixed this problem.

fastener Posts: 1We have a 2002 Ford Windstar that experianced an issue like yours, where the vehicle would just shut down while driving it. You would then need to stop the vehicle, put in park, shut key off and then restart. There were no engine codes set and no issues starting and running until the next time. This happened several times so I brought it in to a Skalink Ford in Lake Orion to be diagnosed. They were not able to get the issue to happen for them. They did suggest having the intake cross over and egr cleaned and replaced $250. After I got it back, my wife used the vehicle to go to Tennessee for a weeks vacation with my young daughter. While on the way, she experienced this issue again. While in Nashville, she went to a good mechanic that I used when I lived there prior to 2006. They suggested that we change out the ignition coil and put on new wires and rotor. She drove it around for a while visiting friends and it happened again on the day that she was supposed to come home. I called Skalink Ford and complained that thier fix was not a fix and that my wife and daughter are stranded in TN with an issue they were supposed to fix. I told them that if the Ford dealer could not diagnose it, who could and reminded them that they were responsible for miss-diagnosing the issue. They recommended that we take the vehile to the authorized Ford dealer in Franklin TN. My wife contacted the Ford dealer and set-up an appointment for the next day (Saturday morning). The dealer there diagnosed it as a bad fuel pump and would replace it for $800, but had to wait until Monday because they did not have a replacement in stock. I called Skalink Ford back and after an argument, they agreed to put $250 towards the purchase of the new pump work. The Franklin Ford dealer had the new pump installed and my family was on thier way. They did not get out of Tennessee before the same issue happened again. She ended up limping it home, pulling off the road where she could and restarting and continuing home. I did not nor will I ever deal with Skalink Ford in Lake Orion again. We kept driving the car until the alternator went out and I replaced it as well as the battery. Since I did that, we have not had another issue. It is an ac noise issue riding on the DC that must be shutting down the ECM. Don't waste your money chasing a fuel or ECM issue and do not expect that the Ford dealer knows how to fix everything. They just take thier best guess which of course is subjective and use the process of elimination at your expence and still not correct the issue.
oyokidude1 Posts: 20This happened to me, but it would jerk before it would shut off, and usually in excess 70mph, it would act up. What I did, was replaced all the plugs with the original motorcraft plugs, they had been running champions. I also replaced the Coil Pack with a motorcraft ford replacement as well. Not to mention cleaning out the EGR ports. What may have been the culprit was a dirty MAF sensor which I also cleaned.
alshouse Posts: 3On my 2002 ford windstar, I had an alternator that was producing an r/f wave that was causing the van to stalling, changed the alternator, and the van run fine now. also found a communiction problem between the pcm, and alternator voltage regulator. changed the pcm. then had to reprogram the new pcm for the security system for my van. it solved most of the problems. now the battery light is flicking, what that means is it come on, and sometimes goes right off, and other times it want to just stay on, not sure what is causing this problem. hope this helps.
fmparks Posts: 1I have a 2002 Windstar, first both brake lights are on, most times the sliding doors wont work, now it wont hold a charge and it looks like I may need a new alternator. I have had Windstars since its conception and find that the 2002s has the most problems I purchased this one used with 122,000 miles, it ran perfectly for 2 months. the liftgate light is constantly on, and what is the liftgate?
k80chavez Posts: 1:lemon: This happened to us. my husband refused to drive it again after the first time that the battery went dead on him in the middle of the night. He had it towed to the house and let it sit until I came back from my business trip (a few days) he never attempted to restart it like y'all did. Now I'm wishing he would've. My dad replaced the battery, and it got 1 round trip to the mexican restaurant down the road before it started shutting itself down. I didn't drive it again, and a few days later my mom in law asked me to move it. I hesitantly started it, and that was fine. Then it sat for another month and a half without being started. I got a tow truck to take it to a shop, and the doors wouldn't even unlock. This leads me to believe that there is a short, and that somewhere in the vehicle it is leaking voltage constantly. this did not start until my husband hit a curb and blew out a tire. Maybe something moved around. The passenger side window have never rolled down and neither does the driver side rear vent/window. There are some electrical problems in this car. There are several recalls on it. I'm hoping to just R2 the alternator, limp it to a dealership and see what happens with the rear axle recall. Hopefully Ford will buy this hunk of junk back. I bought it not even a year ago, and I've already replaced the power steering pump. :lemon:
I took it to Firestone on NW 23rd and Penn in OKC. THEY wanted to charge me $$1700!!! to replace the entire A/C and the alternator, because they said that the A/C belt (which is in some way associated with the alternator) caused the A/C to jam up and they needed to replace the entire A/C system. They are potentially crooks. What do y'all think?!?!?!
I only paid 3300 for the stupid thing!! I'm not paying 1700 to fix the :sick: crap. -
vidir Posts: 5This i a weird car. i have been trying to fix the alternator battery problem since 2005.
Last year i changed both the alternator and the battery and the charging light has since then always after 20 secs turned on.
Have the same problems?
My only solution is to start the car and wait until the light comes up to then turn off the engine and then immediately start again. As long you are driving it never comes on again.
Im tired going to the workshops beacuse they can find anyting wrong with the PCM or the charging. I got the same answer from two diffrent car electricians, the car PCM dosent like your alernator charging volts whatever..
I do not care about these issues anymore, im satified that the car is working regardless starting two times each time. Im going to use the car until it dies :-D
The best thing with Ford Windstar is that they do not manufacture it anymore. -
mcscookiejar Posts: 1I have a 2002 Windstar for about 2 1/2 years now, got such a good deal I ignored the lights after I got it that stayed on (ABS and battery). Had no problems with it for all that time until a few weeks ago it wouldn't start up and it made the typical clicking noise of a low battery so I cleaned the contacts and jumped it off to go home. Checked the voltage while it was running and it read 12.3 volts so I figured it was the alternator. I charged up the battery and put on a new alternator drove to town and after a few stops it wouldn't start again. After charging the battery again I tested the voltage of the new alternator and it was around 12 volts again. Thinking that the new alternator may be bad I had it tested ( which I should have done with the original one) and it tested good. Upon further investigation I found that the control/ monitoring plug on the alternator has 3 pins 1 should be around 7 volts, 2 should be around 13 volts and 3 should be the output voltage of the alternator (or did I get that reversed) anyway pin 2 read 0.04 volts instead of the 13 volts it should have had. Made sure I had continuity from the computer harness and the plug. So could it be that because I have no voltage on pin 2 the alternator is not producing electricity and if that is the case do I have to replace the computer to fix it? I would appreciate any suggestions at this point, thanks.
vidir Posts: 5"do I have to replace the computer to fix it?"
I had my "computer" or PCM or whatever updated, it seemed to better in my case and i think that can solve it but im not sure in your case?
I tried to measure the volts before but the thing is the pcm is checking your system for volts and if it get "wrong" feedback it decides to not charge and so on.. and to update or change a pcm can be a good idea. -
kathiem1 Posts: 1I think our problem is similar to other problems listed here. We are looking for some advice.
Background....In December of 2010 we had to replace the alternator. Worked great, but sounded louder, until November 2011. Thankfully, it was still under warranty at the shop we got it done at. After replacing that alternator, with an after market part, it worked until December 2011 2 days before the warranty ran out. UHOH why does our alternator have to be replaced again? Will you extend our warranty please!!! Well, the shop that we use has been fair and said they are going to work with us on it. So this time they asked if we want to use the actual Ford part and pay a little extra, but maybe the after market parts are not working well with our van. 1 week later (the shortest time in between) it died again. Now I have to drive this van around with little kids in it so I am getting a little annoyed. They replaced the alternator and some modulator thing which they haven't charged us for until we know if this is going to fix it.
Fast forward 2 months later, about once a week I go out to my van in the morning and it doesn't start. It appears the battery is dead. I hook up my ever so useful battery charger, put it on jump start setting, and about 5 minutes later it starts. So far this has only happened while it is sitting in my garage in the morning. We live in Wisconsin, but it doesn't seem to pick the super cold days to not start, it is just random.
After starting it, I can drive it down the street, shut it off, and then it starts fine. This leads me to believe that it is not the battery, otherwise it wouldn't be charged enough to start back up. Also, everytime we have the battery tested it tests good. This is from 3 different sources.
The starter does not sound like it is slipping or grinding, so I don't think that is missing.
The alternator has been acting normal (I know the symptoms of a bad alternator pretty well at this point).
So now we think it is a short somewhere. Does anyone have an idea how to figure out where? Also, is there something else that it might be? Just looking for some help so we can quit hemorrhaging money on vehicles! -
whiskey3 Posts: 1I own a 2002 windstar that had all these problems. When my battery was going dead I found it was the brake pedal switch not working right. The brake lihgts would stay on sometimes. I don't recall exactly what I did but, I removed the switch and believe I took it apart to bend something so the plunger on the switch wasn't so sensitive to the pedal. Haven't had a problem in years. You could just change the switch i suppose.
srsenior Posts: 1It seems we all are having the same, or very similar problems; ABS, anti-lock brake, battery and numerous other lights coming on at different times, engine idle concerns and no real suggestions as to what the problem is. After reading these posts, all the way back to 2005, I've gotten some good ideas where to begin looking; wiring in the doors and lift gate, dimmer control, door electrical controls, and so on.
We bought out 2002 Windstar LS new in Streator, Illinois from the dealer there. The car we traded in broke down there and I'd had enough so we traded on the spot and drove the van back to Iowa. We have 185K miles on the van now and its been a good vehicle.
This problem first occurred last June while we were work camping in Missouri and only gotten worse. Replaced the battery, alternator tested everything I could, had mechanics look at it and nothing. Not even a suggestion other than to throw parts at it until they find the problem.
If anyone comes up with a definitive solution please share with the rest of us! -

neilsford Posts: 1Did you ever find out what the problem was. I'm having the same problem with my 1999 Windstar. It is definately random short. It can be parked for weeks with no problem. Move it to the other side of the drive way and the next morning the battery is dead. As long as it's driven every 4 or so hours, it doesn't drain the battery enough that it won't start. I've looked for lights staying on... I've gone to the extreme now of hooking a light switch between the battery and power, so that over night, I can cut the power. But this is very inconvenient. I have noticed that the air conditioning and fan will power up on start up and shut off instantly all by itself... but this may be the after effects of disconnecting the battery and reconnecting to start the motor.
I wonder if it's a module that is somehow staying powered up after I turned the van off. -
schmi1 Posts: 1I have the same problem with the charging light. It is exactly as you say, it takes about 20 seconds for it to come on, but after the first (sometimes second) restart it will not come on again ( I can drive hundreds of miles) until the engine is stopped for a while. If I ignore the charging light and do not restart, the car will eventually die for lack of electricity. I have noticed that outdoor temperature does affect how often the problem occurs.
Mechanics cannot define the problem. They have check wiring, grounds, replaced the battery and alternator and I refuse to spend any more until someone can describe exactly what the problem is and what it will cost to fix it.
Does anyone know? -
girlygirllol Posts: 1The issue is with the power going into the darn Alternator!
I have had this issue yearly, last year was the first time all the lights went out & the gas pedal didn't even want to work. It was in the day time so not as dangerous as tonight! The dash dimmed down, the blinkers wouldn't work, we were coming home as it was getting dark, no power when pressing the gas so I had to pump it all the way & coasted until we arrived home. Lucky we didn't run into traffic! Many miles from home with the battery almost dead.
Last year I replaced my 2002 alternator & got another new battery ( new one each year since 2003) it has been almost a year again and now tonight the [check charging system] light came on again... I knew the battery was almost dead when that happens.
I drove to a shop & they tested the battery very little power he said the Ford Windstars have had an issue with the power going into the alternator. He then wiggled the plug connected to the alternator & it started working.
I will be replacing the battery again with a new one tomorrow & I will go to the nearest Ford for the wiring for the alternator!! After years of issues I really hope this works! They don't sell the part at parts store. :mad: -
alberto1968 Posts: 1After reading what everyone had written about this problem, I was really concerned, though that my problem was going to be a huge nightmare, luckily it wasn't or it hasn't yet, after the alarm showed up on my van I thought, easy, take the alternator from my old van a 2001 that has mechanical problems and is on its way to the junk yard, I did and it worked for just a couple of days and then it did the exact same thing again, so I came here again looking for someone with a miracle answer, no luck, so I went to the auto parts to check the alternator I had previously taken off of my Windstar, it was no good, went to a different auto parts, same result, no good, priced it, 171 for the cheapest, had to have one, but since I drive a focus to work and my wife uses the van for errands, I wasn't in a hurry to buy the alternator, went to eBay, found one, brand new for 86 and free shipping, three days later it arrived, installed it and it has been a week, I am knocking on wood, no problem, hopefully it will be the end of it, so far it looks like my nightmare is over, I hope it is, I wish you all good luck.
vidir Posts: 5Hi!
If your windstar is working fine now, sell it!
i resolved this alternator issues about 14 times and that says that it did not last for long.
The alternator light is turning up soon...
It is a problem with the pcm that dosent work with aly alternator in the long run so do as i did and many other, sell that car and buy some other van models.
Ford Windstar 1999 - 2004 are damaged product.

Brain cupcakes. Chocolate eyeballs. Worms in dirt. These are the types of desserts I look forward to eating every Halloween. For this year's festivities, I wanted to create a treat that puts a Star Wars twist on those traditional spooky desserts. In my opinion, nothing says scary like The Great Pit of Carkoon and the deadly Sarlacc that inhabits it. Being digested over the course of a thousand years is what nightmares are made of!

Jedi Disney Princesses Cake!
Remember that awesome dad who photoshopped Ewoks into his family vacation photos so his kids could believe Ewoks were real? Now he's responsible for giving his daughter an adorkable birthday cake mixing the two things she loves most: Star Wars and Disney princesses!
If there was a Nobel Peace Prize for being an awesome dad, Anthony Herrera would get our vote!
Anthony Herrera writes:
My daughter really enjoys Star Wars. Like many other little five year old girls my daughter also likes Disney Princesses. As parents my wife and I like to encourage both. So when it came to planning a birthday we opted to try a little combination. Why not? Nothing says that a Disney Princess can't get along with a Jedi or a princess from a galaxy far, far away.
In steps our friend Trisha Patterson, a creative superstar when it comes to making cakes. We asked her to make our daughter a cake knowing what interests her most. This is what she came up with. Nothing beats the look of a little girls face when she sees two things she loves to put together on a cake made just for her.

Death Star Birthday Cake
I don't know how we missed blogging this awesome cake from last November, but here it is in all its Death Star glory. The attention to detail is most impressive!
The cake was made by Cakeadelic — a home-based cake making business in Berkshire, UK that specializes in wedding cakes & cupcakes. Cake Designer Fiona, created the first Death Star for her 4 year old son, and since displaying it on her website says that its more often 40-year-olds who ask for it!

Yoda Christmas Cake
Check out this awesome Force-tastic Star Wars Christmas cake made by Tara from Cloud Nine Confections in North Vancouver, BC.
My favorite thing about this cake is Yoda. In Star Wars, Yoda is always shown as being very old. I love the image of Yoda as a kid, standing by his Christmas Tree, waiting impatiently for Santa Claus. I almost feel sorry for Santa! He better give Yoda everything he asked for or Yoda has a present (aka his lightsaber) ready for Santa.

Clone Wars Cupcakes!
Check out these awesome Clone Wars cupcakes made by A Baked Creation blogger and baker Sylvia.
So, I learned something new this week. We were asked to make some Clone Wars cupcakes and really, this is what I knew about Star Wars beforehand:
There is a dark side and a not so dark side.
Having the force be with you is a good thing.
I knew that Luke's father is Darth Vader, psht! Come on!
Yoda kicks ass and is a wise green little fellow.
I like saying the word Padawan. Padawan! Padawan!
Stormtroopers are bad!
Lightsabers look cool.
All of this happens in a galaxy far, far away.
*Smiles*You can tell I pay a lot of attention when Howard talks about Star Wars. Which he tried to explain to me all over again when I was doing the dishes (I'm trapped!). Well, luckily he does know a thing or two about Star Wars and was a tremendous help on making these Clone Wars cupcakes with me.

(CE:2201a-2202a) TANBIDA (Maghaghah), monastery mentioned at the beginning of the thirteenth century. The church of the monastery was dedicated to Saint Tarnima, whose body was buried in the church. We cannot be certain whether it was the monastery or another church that was outside the town. The HISTORY OF THE PATRIARCHS OF THE EGYPTIAN CHURCH, under the patriarch CYRIL II (1078-1092), mentions the body of the martyr Apa Bima (Epima) in his monastery at Tanbida. A colophon in a Coptic manuscript of the twelfth century locates Tanbida in the nome of Pemje (van Lantschoot, 1929, no. 102, l. 15). AL-MAQRIZI (d. 1441) mentions a church of the Virgin outside Tanbida. One may consult E. Amélineau (p. 479) on Tanbida and its etymology. Tanbida should not be confused with its namesake in the Delta, in the markaz (district) of Shibin al-Kom. RENÉ-GEORGES COQUIN MAURICE MARTIN, S.J.

Senior Travel: Should Europe's latest 'crisis' deter you?
You've probably seen the general outlines of the problem. Several European countries have failed to live within the European Economic Community guidelines about balancing budgets, and a few of those have reached the point that they may be unable to meet their obligations. Greece is in the worst shape, but Ireland, Portugal, and Spain are also shaky.
The financial medicine prescribed by the money mavens -- and especially by West Germany, the continent's financial powerhouse -- is for those countries to trim their budgets into balance by cutting expenses. Certainly, expenses in those countries are beyond what they can afford, especially social expenses. And equally clearly, current practices are unsustainable: Nobody can make the numbers work out right for six-week vacations, retirement at 50 or 55, with full-salary pensions and free medical care.
The at-risk countries have already cut some expenses, but the results have not been enough to solve the problem. Meanwhile, those cuts have resulted in two seemingly intractable and contrary problems:
-- Ordinary citizens are increasingly unwilling to sacrifice any more of the traditional benefits.
-- Some economists are beginning to wonder if the austerity cure is worse than its bite. They now sense that the severe cutbacks curtail economic growth so drastically that the countries might never be able to pay their debts.
The net result is that Greece, especially faces defaulting on much of its national debt. If that happens, the Greeks may decide to get out of the euro and re-establish a highly devalued national currency. And that's what has the mavens confused. Some say the result will be catastrophic for the whole euro zone; others say Greece amounts to less than 3 percent of the euro zone economy and we can get along without it.
Whichever view you take, I see two probable effects on visitors:
-- More forced austerity could well result in resumed civil disobedience as local publics react against what they perceive as "losses." Greeks have already taken to the streets over the last few years, and although less likely, riots could break out elsewhere. Clearly, most of you don't want to visit a social powder keg.
-- A devalued currency situation would supposedly lower effective costs for visitors, making the affected countries great bargains. My take here, however, is that the real cost of big-ticket visitor expenditures -- airfare and accommodations -- would not change much. Instead, locals would quickly re-price their services to former effective levels, a natural and necessary move, given that many of the locals' costs are in Euros or dollars and would have to be repaid at those levels in any case.
In sum, I believe that whatever shape crisis actually takes, European prices will remain about as they are, in real terms. I would not expect any great bargains, but, again, I would not expect any higher prices either. For most of Europe, I'd plan on "the usual." I would, however, keep a close eye on potential civil disorder in Greece and any other country where the local population seems to be highly agitated. Maybe this is a good time to visit Germany, Britain, or Scandinavia, just in case.

Everyone who has ever heard of Andy Dick wants to punch him in the face. So when Jon Lovitz gave Dick a proper beat-down in 2007 at Hollywoods Laugh Factory, we all felt a twinge of jealousy. The incident bolstered peoples opinion of the Lovitz considerably, especially since his punch had purpose. Lovitz had been a colleague of Phil Hartmans from their early days in the Groundlings comedy troupe and their years together on Saturday Night Live, and many people close to the situation partly blame Dick for Hartmans 1998 murder at the hands of his cokehead wife (Dick had supplied her with drugs). Plus, Dick had reportedly threatened Lovitz by saying, I put the Phil Hartman hex on youyoure the next one to die, which is enough to piss anyone off. Months after the brawl, Lovitz opened a comedy club in San Diego to rave reviews, and the place remains a success today. Go watch this stand-up guy do some standup comedy this weekend in Brea.

See definition #4 here.
What does "tie" mean in the following context?
My favorite spot in the natural world, out of all the places I've been, is a tie between the Greek island Santorini (Plato's Atlantis) and my favorite perch on a hill overlooking the beautiful blue Pacific Ocean on the southwest corner of Maui. I'm convinced both locations have healing power.
Thank you.

Context is important. Please provide enough for us to be able to deal effectively with your question.
Your thread title should include all or part of the word/phrase being discussed.
If you just want to know the meaning of a word, try OneLook Dictionary Search first.
It's meaning noun 5 here.
It's another of your unnatural-sounding passages. Where did you find it?
A favourite spot can't be two different places.

Thank you all for the answer.
Yes. I know that meaning of "tie" (the equality in score), but I'm not sure why the author uses the word in the context.
Is the sentence just saying "my favorite spots are the island Santorini and my favorite perch on a hill..."? Is it saying the two places are equally beautiful? Is this what the word "tie" means here?
Yes. If it were a competition between those two places, he would not be able to pick a winner. It would be a tie.

Mann Attacks Fellow Warmist for Questioning Hockey Stick
Prominent global warming alarmist Michael Mann venomously attacked fellow warmist Rob Wilson after Wilson pointed out flaws in Mann's "hockey stick" reconstruction of historic temperatures.
Wilson, a paleoclimatologist who is a post-doctoral research fellow at Scotland's prestigious University of Edinburgh and an adjunct research fellow at Columbia University in the United States, delivered a two-hour lecture on climatology last week at Scotland's University of St. Andrews. While discussing historical climate, Wilson documented several major procedural and substantive flaws in Mann's hockey stick. Taking care to reassure people he is not part of the "skeptic" camp, Wilson nevertheless emphasized the importance of sound, unbiased science. Wilson concluded Mann's hockey stick was "ultimately a flawed study."
The thin-skinned and vitriolic Mann quickly took to his Twitter account to lash out at Wilson. When a Twitter follower asked Mann if he was really calling such a respected paleoclimate expert a "denier," Mann replied, "Not for criticizing my work, but for apparently regurgitating #denialist drivel by the likes of McIntyre etc."
Mann's attack on a fellow warmist follows on the heels of Center for American Progress climate front man Joe Romm attacking fellow warmist Naomi Klein after Klein pointed out how the renewable energy industry is harming the warmist cause by gaming the system to its enhance its profits. The Center for American Progress is funded by the renewable fuel industry, and Romm pulled no punches attacking Klein for her point of view.
"Klein is the queen of conflation and revisionism," Romm wrote about his fellow warmist on the Center for American Progress website.
Klein responded by saying Romm is motivated by prejudice and does not fact-check his assertions.
