San Diego, CA, April 27, 2005 - http://www.testedandproven.com - Scott Levy, Package Engineer at DDL Inc., a leading package, product and material testing laboratory, will be presenting “Demystifying Medical Device Package Validation” at the Medcon 2005 Conference, April 27–28, Del Mar Fairgrounds Activity Center, San Diego, CA.
Demystifying Medical Device Package Validation is intended to help medical device manufacturers understand complex package validation processes, along with what it takes to satisfy regulatory requirements regarding sterile medical device packaging.
“Many medical device manufacturers struggle on a daily basis with what they need to do to set up a shelf-life package validation,” said Levy. “Many are unaware of how to satisfy industry standards such as ISO 11607.”
According to the ISO 11607 standard, the manufacturer “must ensure the product and package system combine to create a total product which performs efficiently, safely, and effectively in the hands of the user.”
Levy will answer ten frequently asked questions regarding the medical device package validation process, including which industry standards the package should adhere to and what each manufacturer should do to ensure the satisfaction of these requirements.
Levy will also share how DDL is helping manufacturers comply with ISO 11607 (Clause 7) via its PackReview service.
St. Paul, MN, April 21, 2005 – The Allen Mortgage and Real Estate Group, http://www.The-AllenGroup.com/reg_class, a leading Minnesota Mortgage Broker today announced the launch of its First Time Homebuyers Boot Camp.
Deciphering mortgage rates and loan programs are just the beginning of what is most often an overwhelming home buying process for first time owners. A few of the top questions on the home buying checklist include “Should I choose a fixed or an adjustable rate? What are the advantages to working with a Broker vs. a Bank? How much can I afford without getting in over my head?”
“One of the more important things I learned during the first time homebuyers class was the importance of owning and the financial investment that goes along with it,” said Jon Canfield. “Another thing I learned was that the home buying process is complicated and very time and mind consuming. This was something that I was not aware of as a first time homebuyer. The class and the staff in place were very knowledgeable and easy to work with, making for a smooth and easy transition into buying my first home.”

Search Engine Smarts: What You Need To Know About SEO/SEM
Minneapolis, MN, April 7, 2005 — http://www.Cazarin.com - Cazarin Web Group, a website design and development agency, today released Cyber Caddy, an online golf management and communications tool to over 15,000 Golf facilities nationwide.
According to the National Golf Foundation (NGF), the average 18-hole daily fee golf course records 30,000 rounds per year and brings in about $992,000 in total revenues. With more than 15,000 nationwide facilities serving over 26 million golfers, the need to streamline communications among golf facility employees and members is crucial.
“Prior to launching Cyber Caddy, we created similar Intranet applications which are successfully gaining momentum within the real estate, mortgage and legal markets,” said Ricardo Ortizcazarin, Cazarin CEO. “When executives at major corporations began to show interest in memberships and Intranet applications we determined that Cyber Caddy could also answer an unmet communications need within the golfing industry.”
Only 22 percent of all golfers regularly shoot better than 90, on an 18-hole regulation course. Golf course members can now improve their game with Cyber Caddy. Cyber Caddy comes with an online forum for resident Pros and league members. The Golf Course members can ask questions like “I have a horrible slice when I tee off, how can I fix this?” to which the Golf Pro will be able to post a response on how to cure the slice. The member can then read answers online or ask additional questions.
