LAS VEGAS (WTAQ) - If you don't like the Packers, there's another Wisconsin-flavored national event you can watch Saturday night.
Kenosha's Laura Kaeppeler will pass on her crown to the next Miss America, in a pageant that starts at 7 p.m. on ABC.
The 24-year-old Kaeppeler is finishing her one-year reign, after spending 340 days meeting celebrities, helping charities, and representing all that Miss America stands for.
Kaeppeler is only the second Miss America from Wisconsin. Her father spent a year-and-a-half in prison for mail fraud when she was in high school – and her platform was to show support for youngsters like her.
She said the Miss America program taught her that people can accomplish anything they set their minds to, regardless of their past. Kaeppeler plans to go to law school and keep working with charities, including one she created – Circles of Support, a mentoring group for children of incarcerated parents.
During last year's pageant in Las Vegas, she professed her love for the Packers and asked Aaron Rodgers to call her. He didn't, but they met a few weeks later at a Milwaukee Bucks game. Kaeppeler said the spontaneous gesture still haunts her, and she thanked Rodgers for being a good sport.
She won't be able to watch the Packer game at the Las Vegas pageant – but during her moments off stage, she hopes to get the score and highlights on her laptop.
Wisconsin's new contestant in the pageant is UW-La Crosse graduate Kate Gorman. Her platform is attacking childhood hunger.

Culture of Dog Parks
A change is in order
Please note comments are moderated. After being approved your comment will appear below.
Submitted by abby | April 12 2013 | Permalink
I think your standards for a public dog park are a little high. Maybe good for a play date for your dog and his friends. To ask the general public to be more in tune with dog behavior is ludicrous. Most people at the dog park we go to can barely recognize breeds much less read their dogs body language. The park we go to is nice but there are too many young kids running around with no pate ts in sight. Somebody is going to get hurt as most of these notepads ts havent taught them about how to approach a dog.
Submitted by Nina | April 16 2013 | Permalink
How is it in anyway "ludicrous"to ask that dog owners learn a bare minimum about dog behaviour? It's incredibly irresponsible and selfish to have zero interest in understanding how your dog behaves and then forcing it on other people and their dogs. But yeah, let's keep pandering to the lowest common denominator who make dog parks generally unpleasant places to because they're too stupid and lazy to learn about their dogs.
Submitted by Kate | April 13 2013 | Permalink
I think this is great. I am always wary of going to the local dog park with my two dogs because of the people there and not the other dogs. More fights break out because people have no idea how to monitor their dogs or how to recognize the signs when their dog is getting anxious and stressed and is therefore more prone to attacking other dogs. People also are the ones who get offended when someone chooses to remove their own dog from a situation because they take it as a snub to their own dog (who more often than not is steadily increasing its anti-social behavior and their owner is clueless). Hopefully dog owners will continue to become better educated about canine body language and training in general so that dog parks can revolve around canine socialization and exercise rather than inappropriate altercations (both canine and human!)
Submitted by CJ | April 15 2013 | Permalink
I think that the list of expectations for dog park behavior for people and canines is right on the mark. I disagree that expecting the general public to be more in tune with dog behavior is unrealistic - just look at the viewing numbers for dog training shows on television. While people may not be getting correct behavioral information from most of those shows, to me it shows a definite curiosity by people who want to understand. Knowledge is power, so I believe that if more people had scientific info about what dogs are really saying to each other, it would be easier to change dog park culture (at least at the ones in my city, where it's a smaller number of people who are proactive about keeping their dog engaged and out of trouble).
Submitted by Ginny | April 16 2013 | Permalink
I agree with CJ. Education is key! It would be so great if every time a new dog park opened or every first Saturday of the month, a dog trainer and/or behaviorist would give lessons on "reading" dog behavior, training, and proper intervention. While there will always be people at the dog park who are clueless and uninterested, the more educated dog owners you have at the dog park, the better the dog park experience for everyone.
I also agree with this. How else are people to learn if they aren't going to these environments. That is exactly how I learned about general dog behavior, and even my own dogs. Now I know what is too much, or how my dog(s) will react to situations or other dogs, but I probably would never have known this had I not started visiting the park in the first place.
Submitted by Eden | April 24 2013 | Permalink
I think it's a bit optimistic to believe that the general public are watching these shows because they are interested in dog training and behaviour. Whilst some are genuinely interested in that, I would say most people watch for the drama factor and the miracle "before and after" effect.
Submitted by Petra | April 15 2013 | Permalink
I totally agree. I have two deaf Bull Arabs (very large dogs) and we are so careful to make sure they play well or if very small dogs arrive they are put on a lead (so they don't accidentally squash someone!), but so many people don't extend the same courtesy and allow their dogs to fly over to ours without having a minute to just introduce them. Makes me crazy. And the ones who bring their dogs then ignore them while they wreak havoc....don't get me started : -)
Submitted by Diana | April 15 2013 | Permalink
Given that many people don't even clean up after taking their dogs for a walk, I doubt that all people would follow such guidelines. Luckily where I live, there are several trails where dogs can be off-leash as long as the human is in control of the dog. I always carry a leash and if another dog is on a leash, I assume there's a reason and put mine on a leash too. However, I wish every community or group of smaller communities would create a large dog park. I am very impressed with the one Provincetown created on Cape Cod.
Submitted by Lisa | April 24 2013 | Permalink
Thank you for this. One of my dogs can be aggressive among other dogs and it bothers me to no end when I have him on a lead because of his behavior and another owner is walking with their dog off leash relatively close to us. I think the polite (and correct) thing to do is to also put their dog on a lead.
Submitted by ddezign | April 16 2013 | Permalink
This MUST become the norm for all off leash areas especially number 1.
When my dogs was a puppy (for 3 years!!!!!) the monitoring and correcting of behaviours was constant and intense and the interactions at dog parks and other friend's dogs allowed my puppy to be reprimanded properly by the older dogs and some of the training was done this way and very quickly because obviously the dogs know how to 'speak' and 'listen' to the older 'tutor.
There are two things that frustrate me and are extremely dangerous.
Great post Karen, thank you

I concur. If I had my way about it everyone would be required to show that they have at least a basic competency in understanding canine behaviour (not the two episode of the dog whisperer that they watched) and they would understand that dogs play in a variety of fashions. I've had to really cut back on how often we go to the dog park for my own mental health because they uneducated people are convinced that my mastiff will harm their medium sized dog without any reason to think so. In grad school I would talk with the behaviourists housed right across the street from my programme (animal science) about how they handled dog parks. They responded that they didn't. Dealing with people who refuse to educate themselves is just too much.

Another peeve that I have are people who bring their dog's toy, ball, whatever, to the park, and then get upset (sometimes very angry) when another dog takes it. Come on, it is a DOG park. Dogs don't know that this particular tennis ball is the precious property of your Fido. To them it is just a ball. If you don't want other dogs touching it, leave it at home.
Submitted by B. | April 24 2013 | Permalink
Thank you for this comment! May I add:
You should not expect others to leash up their dogs so you can play undisturbed with your dog.
If you don't want other dogs to play with your toys, then it's best to go to the dog park during the off peak hours. If you arrive on a sunny Saturday or after work hours, you're going to have to share or you have to leave the toys at home.
And if you have a dog who is toy possessive – then consider working this out with a professional dog trainer. It's important that the experience be fun for everyone, including your dog.
While I totally agree and understand the sharing of toys thing and that dogs don't get that they are taking your dogs toy, it is incredibly annoying when you come out to the park with 4 balls and there is one dog in particular whose owner finds you every time, that dog takes your dogs ball, is bigger then your dog so it can put as many as 3 of your dogs balls in it's mouth, the owner then gives you some of his balls, but that owner's dog just keeps coming back and stealing whichever ball you happen to throw and you spend the entire time retrieving so that you can try and play fetch with your dog - usually going home with balls that now don't squeak and you got no play time in with your dog. And the worst thing is when the owner just does not get it and insists on finding you every morning so the same thing can happen over and over again (is this groundhog day) it has become so annoying that I just don't go anymore I play fetch in the house!
Dogs want to PLAY at a dog park, and that includes playing with toys that their owners have purchased, just as might happen at a playground for children. Every dog owner should teach their dog the command, "Drop it" for this exact reason. I am not offended when a dog steals my dogs toy. I AM offended when an owner tells me that they cannot get it back from their dog. This is basic, basic, basic obedience.
Submitted by Karen London | April 27 2013 | Permalink
I completely agree that "drop it" is an essential and basic skill. I should have included it in the list of skills that dogs who go to the dog park should be able to perform on cue, and I thank you for kindly pointing out that it belongs there!

My favorite incident is when we were at a community park with our dog trainer and 2 dogs walking along the outside fence of the dog park area, and someone's small dog started to dig underneath the fence to get to us, albeit apparently playfully. It took me yelling out "Whose dog is this?" just as the little guy was about to go under the fence before its owner came over and picked it up only to put it down a few feet away and walked away again. He didn't even bother to repair the hole that his dog had begun to dig, so the dog came right back and it took me yelling "Hey! Get back here!" that he picked the dog up and left the park. I suggested to other owners there that someone push the dug up dirt back in the hole so theirs or other dogs don't escape again, then hurried up to catch up to the dog trainer and my dogs. I felt more responsible to those other dogs than some of their owners.

My beef is with people who don't have dogs yet bring children to sled at our dog park, then get upset when a dog runs up to their kids and licks their ears, and the kids cry because they are scared of dogs. This happens all the time in winter. There are numerous parks and places to sled in my town where dogs are not permitted - that's where the families with young children belong.

I have had the most positive experience at 2 local dog parks in New Milford and New Fairfield, CT. I do agree that the majority of problems at the parks are with the owners and not the dogs. That said, any problems I've experienced have been few and minor and for the most part the owners engage with and keep an eye on their dogs and are responsible for pickup. Owners are friendly and interact with each other, but I've never seen it become a gathering of friends who ignore their dogs.
My dog has become beautifully socialized from his experiences at the park and he romps with joy when he's with the other dogs. I get the gift of watching his joy and seeing his post-park sleepy bliss. On one occasion, I brought his favorite toy, a red Kong frisbee, into the park and every dog wanted it and he didn't want to give it up. At one point, 4 dogs had latched onto it and were in a tug of war which got a little out of hand, so the only time the frisbee comes into the park is when he's the only dog there.
I agree with all the points in the article and I think they all represent common sense and courtesy.

I agree with pretty much everything Karen London says here. Unfortunately for us, my dog Hobbes does sometimes have aggression issues. This was something we discovered over time, and now we never bring him to dog parks. It's sad, because he so loves playing with other dogs. I had hoped that I would be able to learn his signals and just prevent asocial behavior, but I found I was not able to always recognize his signals in time (he sometimes seemed to go from happy to fighting in an instant, while at other times I was able to recognize warning signs like a change in posture or raised hackles or the like). But, we have not figured out how to train him to avoid fights entirely, and we weren't always able to step in to prevent them, so we can't be good participants in these contexts. It's ok - we still go on lots of fun hikes.

Texting has added a new distraction at dog parks. At least when talking on the phone one can watch their dog, but the texting totally takes the owner's focus away from their dog. Of course I see parents doing this at playgrounds with their kids too. A bad habit.

Sadly, I am one of those owners with a dog that behaves badly at the dog park. It is horribly embarrassing. In fact, we no longer go to dog parks, and the very thought of returning causes me great anxiety. My dog has lost the priviledge of this type of socialization. The most frustrating part of the matter is that he was well socialized for years, active at the park without any problems, but over the course of three consecutive visits he was attacked by other less-socialized dogs each time, and that seemed to cause a change in his "dog park" behavior. The trust and training we had developed within the park evaporated almost immediately. It's like having a tenacious, disobedient toddler. I have no idea how he will react to other dogs now. I don't know how to fix the problem, so we stay away. I can work with my dog's behavioral issues, but I can't make a lick of difference with other people's pets and their unpredictable behavior. For me, dog park = stress.

I agree with most of this article that in a perfect world, people would know how to read a dog's energy or body language and prevent negative interactions between dogs. I spend a lot of time at the dog park as I own three very active golden retrievers and I feel that socialization with other dogs from a very young age is very important in giving dogs the confidence they need to meet any new dog. Two of my dogs are therapy dogs and this socialization is imperative to what we do as many times we will be in very close quarters with other dogs. By going to the dog park from the time my pups were 3 months old, they have learned to read other dogs and thus know what dogs to avoid at the dog park. Yes, I run into dog owners who think that when their dog growls when my dog goes up to greet their owner that their dog is being protective. Others consider humping just a part of play and get upset when I put a stop to it. (yes it is natural, even for fixed dogs but it is not a part of play and you can train your dog to not do it). Lastly, I give classes once a month at the dog park for people wanting to get into pet therapy and it is the perfect opportunity for me to teach pet owners about proper dog park etiquette. For a therapy dog, just being social with grandma and grandma's 10 yr old toy poodle is not enough.

This article should be posted by law at the entrance to all dog parks nationwide. Actually, it should be required reading/training/practice for all current dog owners and those about to adopt a dog. The items Dr. London lists here are, in my opinion, common courtesy, as well as best practices for dog ownership and our relationship with our pets. Unfortunately, it seems like humans aren't all that courteous a lot of the time.

So far my experiences at dog parks have been positive. We take our dogs to a variety of dog parks in southwestern OH. Our dogs belong to a private dog park, with a daily, seasonal or yearly fee, where the dogs are pre-screened to test for aggressive behavior. Exercise equipment and tennis balls are on site for everyone, and there are 2 spring-fed ponds, with a deck for diving. Daycare is an additional option at this park. You agree to be with your dog at all times, and children must adhere to strict rules of behavior while at the park. We have not been members for long, so I don't know what kind of human behavior I should expect during the upcoming, peak dog park season. There is a Jumbotron at the site and beverages are available, including beer. It remains to be seen if this is a bad mix. The few people I have seen with beverages have been seated in spots near to, or overlooking, the area where their dogs are playing and frolicking in the water. Park staff members are in the area, and people tend to be watching one another's dogs at play due to the group interactions. My husband and I tend to be near our dogs at all times because it's so much fun to watch them play. We also go to several area public dog parks, ranging from fenced in farm land, with thickets full of critters, a woods, trails, and natural ponds, complete with frogs and snakes and snakes eating frogs, to flat, fenced in fields with few amenities other than poop bags and trash cans. Overall, most dogs and people are well-behaved, and when they are not, they are "reeled" in by other regulars at the park. Another observation I have made when a dog park is very busy is that owners need to pay attention to all of the dogs at play. The moment they are distracted by gossiping with friends, the dogs plow into their knees and everyone goes down in a heap.

I agree in spirit with this post but find it kind of judgmental. The definition of "social" behavior is somewhat subjective, and no one is perfect. I have a medium-sized dog with a number of issues who refuses to go for walks. I also have a small yard. Thus, fetch and frisbee at the dog park are a major part of our exercise program. Sometimes, our herding-mix dog can be obnoxious, chasing and barking at other dogs. My husband and I monitor the situation at every trip; our dog has a strong recall, and if it seems like he is frightening or aggravating another dog, we leave. We have been through several obedience class levels and have had at-home sessions with a trainer. We go to agility class regularly. We are planning to see an animal behaviorist and even to buy a house with a bigger yard. Yet, I am keenly aware that our dog has special needs and we have not made the kind of progress I would have hoped for (we are not professionals). It is a constant challenge, and some sympathy and understanding are always appreciated.

I would also like it if dog owners would pick up their dog's poop and not leave it for someone else to either step in or have their dog step in.

I completely agree that people bringing their dog to a dog park MUST be engaged with their dogs. Too often dogs are brought in and their people walk away to congregate with other humans leaving their dog(s) unattended. It is really not fair to their dog who may be encountering "foul play" by other dogs and oftentimes not fair to other dogs if your dog can be aggressive in that environment. I found a GREAT iphone app called Dog Park Assistant that helps explain what to look for in dog behavior at the park and how to read your dogs and other dogs. Lots of good info. It's not all fun and games out there - trust me!

The suggestions are perfect but people aren't. This would be like expecting people to monitor their own driving. Dog parks are too often a social club for their owners; a place for dog walkers to exercise a group of dogs and or a place where well intentioned dog owners bring their dogs without a clue of what to watch for or what to do if there is a problem.

I agree. My favorite dog park has most of these qualities. It's an urban city park that is off-leash friendly. Since there are no fences, the dogs must have a reliable recall. That knocks out those people who have a pent-up untrained dog and are too lazy to exercise. Since it's a courtesy to have the dogs off leash, everyone is vigilant about picking up poo (yay!). We do gather and talk, but there's always an eye on their dog to make sure they stay in close range. The downside is that some people let their off-leash dog greet a dog on leash. Sometimes this causes defensive/fearful behavior or, in the case of leashed dog-aggressive dogs, a bite. Almost every time this happens, I see the off-leashed owner get their dog away when the leashed one is upset. (Still, don't like this happening.) But I couldn't agree more on the importance in having everyone be aware of what their dog is doing and where they are. I feel good that if my dog isn't comfortable around another, either they or I can just walk further away or recall our dogs. There's more courtesy in a public park than a typical fenced dog area. Do accidents still happen there? Yes, but I've seen much fewer dog-dog issues here than any other dog park we've been to.
I do agree with the body language, but misinformation (eg tail wag always mean happy) doesn't help the populace any. I'd like to post a graphic of dog body language poses and see if that helps.
On the flip side, one dog park I went to banned treats within the park. I refused to go there after reading that rule. My dog loves food and I want to be able to reward her. Plus if someone's dog is so bad that it can't be around a person with food, they shouldn't be at a dog park.

There is a beautiful dog park near me and I have taken all my Dobermans over the years there. I find that certain times of day pretty much dictates the type of owners that show up. Everything listed above has happened to me and my dog at one time or another. Then I discovered that if I take her early in the morning on either or both weekend days everyone there not only looks out for their dog but your dog, too, and vice versa. We even point out to an owner that may have turned their back for a moment that their dog just pooped. No one gets insulted or mad. Everyone says, "Oh, thank you. Where was she?" We know everyone's dog's name, but not all the owners names. And no one cares. We know who we mean jut by the dog's name. I never go after work. Too many weirdoes.

This article is SO TIMELY!. At my local dog park, I will admit that most of the pet parents (the regulars) are VERY observant of their furkids at all times. We engage in play with our pups. Big and small dogs play well together.
NOW what I despise most is when children/teens bring dogs to the park; or when walking through the park on the way to the dog park children are being pulled along by the dog. And it's getting worse! Today on my walk from the bus stop I pass by a teen hanging out with his friends and his pit puppy OFF LEASH. I prayed nothing happened while he was standing outside allowing his dog to parade around.
When I began my walk with my hyper two, we happened upon a nice teen who had his mini poodle off leash (with no tags, and no neutering!!!!!!!). Of course he had to chase the dog out of the street a couple of times.
Im sorry to rant and rave, but I take issue with children walking dogs in large urban areas without supervision - for safety reasons only. Yes I do know some teens are able to handle dogs better than some adults, but public safety is the concern and not convenience.

In addition. Playgrounds are for kids and dog parks are for dogs. Don't use the dog park as an opportunity to kill 2 birds with one stone in order to entertain Junior. Even kids who may have been taught proper dog ettiquite tend to interrupt the dogs natural pack instinct while playing. I can't take my dog to the playground, keep your kid out of my dog's playground.

I agree with your suggestions for a perfect dog park experience. Unfortunately, that's not reality which is why I don't like dog parks. I see them as "a fight waiting to happen." I work with dogs for a living and am a big proponent of training. I think that many people bring their high-energy dogs to dog parks because they don't have the time or interest in working with their dogs at home. I know that many wonderfully trained dogs come with their responsible owners, too, but it only takes one unruly dog to spoil the fun. Just not a chance I choose to take.

small dogs need to be separated or have different use times than large dogs. These standards mentioned are NOT high! Fun can easily turn into disaster in this arena.

I have been to Lakeshore East Dog Park twice, and will NEVER return. The people there are rude and do not welcome people and their dogs who do not live in one of the surrounding buildings. This is the nicest dog park in Chicago, we have been to others where the water source is broken, and another where the fence has rusty holes in it. Obviously Chicago handles their dog parks the way they do everything else, bow down to the wealthy & make sure they have the best! Just ignore the needs of every body else.

Shining a Digital Light on Chinese Shadow Play
Did you know in China, shadow play and other traditional art forms are disappearing from popular culture as modern forms of entertainment take over—threatening the country's historical identity? Three university students have demonstrated how Intel technology can help keep these art forms alive by merging them with the latest innovations.
The audience was captivated
It's not the kind of thing one usually sees at a student technology contest: Shadow puppets moving fluidly against a white screen as New Age music plays.
But the real showstopper came at the end when the screen came down, revealing that robots, not humans, were controlling the puppets and the music.
Inspired by folk art on the streets of Xi'an, China, three university students combined Intel technology with traditional Chinese art to create a robotically controlled shadow play. The production landed Wang Hoaran, Liu Xin, and Zhu Men top honors at the 2010 Intel Cup Undergraduate Electronic Design Contest in Shanghai.
Shadow play is an ancient form of storytelling that uses flat, articulated puppets to create the impression of moving humans and objects. The cut-outs are held between a light source and a translucent screen. It's an important cultural symbol of China's prosperous Tang and Yuan dynasties, and the student project blended the old with the new in order to preserve this unique part of China's past for a new generation. In recent decades, such art forms have faded in Chinese culture with influence of international pop culture.
"For modern Chinese, shadow play is a symbol of splendid Chinese history and cultural heritage that has been designated worthy of protection," Wang says. "We asked ourselves 'Can we inherit and protect the art of shadow play and its cultural heritage through innovative application of embedded technology?'"
Employing technology powered by Intel® Atom™ processors, they designed mechanical arms to move each puppet according to a series of action instructions, in addition to controlling the accompanying music and light source, thus creating an entirely new and exciting approach to this historical art form.
Eventually, Wang says, the technology could be used to create life-sized, electromechanically controlled marionettes equipped with speech recognition and artificial intelligence technology that could potentially be used at cultural exhibitions—enhancing the learning experience for those who are new to the art form.
Intel® Atom™ Processor
Wang Hoaran, Liu Xin, and Zhu Men used an Intel® Atom™ processor to control their puppets. The Intel® Atom™ processor powers a variety of devices such as tablets, smartphones, netbooks, hybrids, and consumer electronics.
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM)
Intel believes young people are the key to solving global challenges. A solid math and science foundation coupled with skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, and problem solving are crucial for their success.

By Andrea IsomFOX 2 NewsROYAL OAK, Mich. (WJBK) -- It was back in 2008 when voters in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties approved a millage to help fund the Detroit Zoo.But instead of giving that money to the zoo, some communities are keeping some of the money for themselves.Taylor is one city that's keeping a portion of the money. The city is using it to fund the Downtown Development Authority. The city's mayor says they have the right to do it. "Under the state statue created back in 1980, we have not only the authority to, but we have the responsibility to capture those taxes for those entities," says Mayor Jeffrey Lamarand."The Wayne County treasurer has not sent a letter out saying they're not supposed to capture it so I have sympathy for the plight of the mayor because property values are down, their revenue sharing has been cut from Lansing," said Oakland County Treasurer Andy Meisner. "So he has my sympathy, but I don't agree with his interpretation of the law. I think he's misinterpreting it and that money really needs to go to the zoo."Zoo officials say the cities are withholding about $750,000 meant for the zoo. Lamarand says he has to look out for his city's best interest first.

GENERIC NAME: metronidazole
BRAND NAME: Flagyl
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Metronidazole is an antibiotic effective against anaerobic bacteria and certain parasites. Anaerobic bacteria are single-celled, living organisms that thrive in environments in which there is little oxygen (anaerobic environments) and can cause disease in the abdomen (bacterial peritonitis), liver (liver abscess), and pelvis (abscess of the ovaries and the Fallopian tubes). Giardia lamblia and ameba are intestinal parasites that can cause abdominal pain and diarrhea in infected individuals. Trichomonas is a vaginal parasite that causes inflammation of the vagina (vaginitis). Metronidazole selectively blocks some of the functions within the bacterial cells and the parasites resulting in their death.
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
GENERIC AVAILABLE: Yes
STORAGE: Metronidazole should be stored at room temperature and protected from light.
PRESCRIBED FOR: Metronidazole is used to treat parasitic infections including Giardia infections of the small intestine, amebic liver abscess, and amebic dysentery (infection of the colon causing bloody diarrhea), bacterial vaginosis, trichomonas vaginal infections, and carriers of trichomonas (both sexual partners) who do not have symptoms of infection. Metronidazole is also used alone or in combination with other antibiotics in treating abscesses in the liver, pelvis, abdomen, and brain caused by susceptible anaerobic bacteria. Metronidazole is also used in treating infection of the colon caused by a bacterium called C. difficile. (Many commonly-used antibiotics can alter the type of bacteria that inhabit the colon. C. difficile is an anaerobic bacterium that can infect the colon when the normal types of bacteria in the colon are inhibited by common antibiotics. This leads to inflammation of the colon (pseudomembranous colitis) with severe diarrhea and abdominal pain.) Metronidazole also is used in combination with other drugs to treat Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) that causes stomach or intestinal ulcers. Metronidazole topical gel is used for treating acne rosacea, and the vaginal gel is used for treating bacterial vaginosis.
DOSING: Metronidazole may be taken orally with or without food. In the hospital, metronidazole can be administered intravenously to treat serious infections. The liver is primarily responsible for eliminating metronidazole from the body, and doses may need to be reduced in patients with liver disease and abnormal liver function.
Various metronidazole regimens are used. Some examples are listed below.

Product Overview
VideosInstruction Manual (pdf)
Introducing Calma: Designed exclusively for breastmilk feeding.
Switching from bottle back to breast has never been easier. Calma was developed using evidence-based research on babies' natural feeding behavior so mothers and babies can enjoy their breastfeeding bond longer.
With Calma, the milk will only flow if the baby works and creates vacuum to remove the milk. This enables the feeding behavior learned at the breast to be used with Calma.
Medela hosted a virtual roundtable to discuss breastfeeding in the U.S. and provide an inside look at Calma. Watch now for important research and insights

Works With
Works with the following products:
I had quite a bit of trouble establishing a milk supply and started supplementing around two months. I started out with a standard nipple and my baby started to prefer it over the breast. Once i used this nipple he transferred from breast to bottle and vice versa beautifully. I ordered two so I would generally have one clean. It is definitely worth a try also if you find other nipples have a flow that is too fast.
I had a really hard time nursing for the first month after my daughter was born. I really wanted to breast feed exclusively, but she lost weight and it was incredibly painful while she was learning how to latch. I was so grateful to the home health nurse who told me to nurse on one side and pump the other each day so that by breasts could heal. These nipples saved us. My daughter is almost a year old now, and we have been extremely successful with breast feeding. I believe part of our success is that she didn't get accustomed to nipples that dripped without her sucking. Thanks you Medela! Yet another amazing product to support moms and healthy babies!!
Been a fan of Medela pumps and bottles since my daughter was born in 2011. Calma didn't exist then. I noticed there was a bit of frustration when going from bottle to breast because she had to work for the milk -- almost like she'd get confused between the two and not understand why one would flow so easily and she'd have to work for the other. So when my son was born (July 2013) I got the Calma nipples to see how well they imitate nature. I LOVE THEM. There is no frustration when he goes back on the breast since the Calma won't release milk unless he does the work to create the vacuum suction. Plus, there is no fear of choking from the milk flowing too fast since he controls the flow with his suction. They ARE pricey, but the investment is worth it since the nipples are ALL STAGE, meaning you won't have to buy nipples for a stronger flow as baby grows. Baby controls the flow so you can use these nipples for as long as baby is on the bottle!
I started my breastfed baby on this bottle for the first time at 3 weeks because unlike with my first, I had to return to work right away :(. The first time, she took to it immediately and finished it, so I think the design is as close to natural as it gets for a bottle, which due to their research and breast-is best approach, is why I immediately went to Medela over other brands, even though the bottle is more expensive. The second time, a few days later, and again 2 weeks after that, she did not take to it so easily, but I don't think this can be attributed to the bottle itself. My sister-in-law and my mom were feeding her on those occasions, and she did take it when I came home, warmed up the milk (don't think it was warm enough the other 2 times), and did the following... I heat 3-4 oz. of my frozen milk in a breastmilk bag by filling up a medium sized stainless steel mixing bowl full of water from the tap, on all the way hot. I fill the bowl up twice (the second time after it has liquified). This only takes a total of about 6 minutes since it's a small amount, and not more than she will drink per feeding anyway. The nipple on the bottle is pretty long, so I find it most effective to start with about half to 2/3 of it in her mouth. That way, she figures out how to start sucking on it and get the milk flowing. Once it is flowing and her sucking reflex intensifies, she is more receptive to taking the rest of it in her mouth, and actually does so on her own (love nature!). She will gag if it just gets stuck into her mouth all the way right off the bat, which totally makes sense, if you think about it. I've had no trouble going back and forth between the breast and the bottle, so I really like it. It's a great bottle for any attentive, loving mother who considers her baby's experience, as every loving attentive mother does, and can communicate that to a caregiver if necessary. It isn't clear in the marketing, so I wanted to mention that although you can purchase a Calma bottle set, the nipple device does work with breastmilk storage bottles. Oh, and also, if you have leakage problems, check to make sure the silicone nipple wraps all the way over the rim of the yellow plastic flow device.
My nanny uses this with my baby to feed him breastmilk from a bottle when I am at work. He does great with it, and we have no difficulty breastfeeding once I get home. So glad to have this!
I had to go back to work full time, so we were trying to find a good option for easy back and forth transition. My son will suck down a 3 oz bottle in less than 15 minutes. We tried multiple bottles and nipple. we finally tried the Calma nipple and he did really well with it. He still eats very fast, but isn't choking like he did with the other bottles
My son was born 6 weeks early (Dec. 26, 2012). After finally being released from the NICU he came home at 4.9 lbs! I was just BF when we came home and I thought we were doing great, but we had a Dr. appt just 4 days later and he was down to 4.6 lb (not good for a preemie). So the Dr. recommended switching to formula (I was devistated!). We switched but every feeding he was choking due to the constant flow coming out, even with the slow flow nipples. I heard about the Calma so I purchased 1 to see if it would work with formula. Oh my goodness! It was amazing! He is now just over 6 lb!!!!!! I am always talking up Medela in general but am very excited about the Calma Nipple!!!!! Now we have 5 and I will be purchasing more soon! :-)
My daughter was breastfeeding and needed supplements, every other bottle nipple she leaked everywhere... level 1 nipples had to much flow! these nipples are amazing and she has been doing wonderful with them! I highly recommend them!
My daughter and I were having trouble with breastfeeding in the beginning. My milk didn't come in until day 6. She was starving and wanted instant results. I had purchased the Calma bottle prior to her birth. I had read reviews knowing she had to be in more of a seated position than leaning back with the bottle. We ended up using this bottle with formula and it ended up being the best transition between breast and bottle. She had to work to get the formula out as she would with nursing. I was worried if we had a regular nipple, she would prefer that to the breast. This nipple relieved most of my fears. I am so glad Medela has made Calma and will never use another type of bottle or nipple!!!
My daughter is BF but when we are out I want to use pumped milk so I was not try to find a place to feed her. And all the so called Breast milk bottles would cause her reflux to go wild because the flow was way to fast even with the slow flow nipples. So our pedi recommend the Calma and after a ton of research I took leap of faith and it was the best thing we ever did she will take a bottle no problem know it did take me priming the nipple for the first coulp of time but now she does not have any trouble. And her reflux has gotten better when she has a bottle. And we even got to demo the nipple for the lactation department.
When I first learned about the Calma bottle, I was so excited to try it. I was relieved that the bottle lived up to the hype! I first used the bottle when my baby girl was 7 weeks old. She is exclusively breastfed, but I needed her to be able to use a bottle when I was away 2 or 3 times a week. It took her several attempts to get the hang of it (just like breastfeeding did), but she is now drinking breastmilk from the Calma bottle easily and happily. The best part is that she transitions back to the breast without any trouble, which was a fear I had since it didn't go so well without Calma with my two-year old son. I won't use any other bottle again...EVER! I will definitely recommend this product to all of my nursing friends.
I first introduced this bottle to my son at 3 months - he was exclusively breastfed. After several attempts to find a bottle that he liked and a lot of money spent on empty bottles in my cabinet I found Calma when ordering supplies for my pump to go back to work. He took to the nipple with no problem and can switch back and forth with ease. I like that my son can control the flow so that he doesn't get frustrated. I could not be happier and it's probably the best $20 I have spent.....should have started at Medela first.
I have been so happy with the calma nipple. My son doesn't spit up like he did with the regular nipple. It has even helped him when he nurses to be more efficient. It does require some stronger sucking muscles but it was exactly what we needed. I'm so happy with this product & really all of the medela products I have used!
As a NICU nurse and lactation counselor I was excited to try the calma with my first baby. I was hoping not to have to use it for a while and exclusively breastfeed, but due to breastmilk jaundice had to change my son to formula / bottle fed for 48 hours at 1 week of age. I was affraid he wouldn't want to breastfeed again after the 48 hours but he transitioned back just fine, and has been able to go between breast and bottle without a problem ever since. The flow of the calma is not an issue for my son. I have always been impressed with Medela as a company through working with them in my lactation counselor role. As a mother I was equally impressed when I called the customer support line when the middle peice of the calma nipple got a hole in it. Medela customer support was great and sent another nipple out to me free of charge. Thanks Medela!
My son is 7-weeks-old and was exclusively breastfed for the first 6 weeks, until he caught a cold from my daughter that turned into a bad respiratory infection and caused him to be admitted to the hospital, because he would not eat and was dehydrated. They gave him saline and glucose via IV to rehydrate him and I pumped my milk until he was ready to eat again. The doctor wanted me to feed him through a bottle, so we could gauge how much milk he was getting. Well, I didn't want to use the regular rubber nipples they give at the hospital, because I was afraid he'd get nipple confusion. So, the first bottle I tried was the First Years Breastflow bottle which advertises that it mimics actual breastfeeding, however, he HATED the nipple and rejected it. Next, we tried the regular slow flow Medela nipple and he took it, but I didn't like it because it dripped even when he wasn't sucking and let out too much milk. So, I was surfing the Medela web site and saw the advertisement for the Calma Nipple. I went and purchased two, but only opened one, just in case he rejected it (so I could take the other back). He loved this nipple. He caught on right away. See, I have really large nipples, so the length of the Calma is not a problem for him. I also like the fact that he has to work for his milk, just like the breast. And since this nipple is more firm than the breast, he has to suck a little bit harder to get the milk. This has actually helped to improve his regular breastfeeding latch. Now, he transitions back and forth from breast to bottle like a pro. I love this nipple and would definitely recommend it to nursing moms!!!
Hen I first started using calms I noticed that yes the nipple was not at all an ideal feeling or looking nipple. My daughter at first spit it out, I then remembered that a nurse had told me in order for baby to get the suckling motion, you have to rub the nipple against the roof of the mouth. I did that and instantly she got the hang of it. I love it, she actually has to work to get her food. Unlike regular bottle she can just nibble on and milk comes spilling out. I love this bottle it was defiantly money well spent!
As I am getting ready to go back to work, I needed to introduce the bottle to my daughter. As I read the reviews I do agree that the milk comes out a little fast, but my daughter has adjusted just well. I do like that I have been able to go from bottle to breast with no problem throughout the day. The only downside to the price.
I only bought one because I didn't know if it would work, and now I need more!! For those saying it's too long, during the first minutes of feeding my baby would just suck the very tip of the Calma, but eventually he gets the whole nipple in his mouth.
I love this bottle. I first heard about it from a woman in my breast feeding support group and I have to say it was the best $20 I ever spent. My son doesn't prefer the bottle over the breast but he does not have a problem with switching back and forth. I was super hesitant on giving him a bottle but I introduced this bottle to him at 2 weeks old and he does great. I wish it was a little harder for him to get the milk out because he makes a bit of a mess when i feed him with the bottle but I just make sure to have a bib and soft towel in hand to clean up as he's a messy eater. I would definitely recommend this bottle to all breastfeeding and non breast feeding mothers. Great Product
My baby was admitted to hospital due to Jaundice (Day 4-6), and during that period of time, there was no choice but to put her on bottle. Was so afraid she will have nipple confusion and so we tried Calma (introduced to us at a Medela BF forum) ... When she came home, she was superb moving between breast and bottle. I believe her latching skills actually improved after using the bottle.
My baby is little over 5 weeks old and until now exclusivly BF. I was so affraid of her refusing to take a bottle and/or have nipple confusion. But we tried Calma and everything went super smooth! She did great. Just remember try this nipple before any other as recommended for best results. I am thrilled that Calma is finally in US!
My son (born Sept. 5 '12)was losing weight/not gaining for 3 weeks and fussy with reg. bottles after one week he has gained 3 ounces.
I look forward to try this one!! My son used the Breast Flow system, which worked, but the nipple kept collapsing on him. I've been patiently waiting for someone to come out with a new design that works. I'm blessed right now that my daughter, being diagnosed with a heart condition so bottle feeding has been a must to ensure she doesn't burn to many calories while feeding, easily switches from the current Medela nipples to breast. I'm so excited to try I look forward to having a our next bundle. Gotta wait a bit cause she's only 2 months.
I would love to review this!!! I have been wondering how long it would be until someone looked at how a baby naturally nurses and create a bottle that will work. I had a baby 3 years ago that I NEEDED this bottle to train him with until he got stronger. But I am having a baby in about 3 weeks and I would love to try this bottle!!
My daughter has been using the Medela Calma Nipple since she was about 3.5 weeks. It was extremely helpful in helping her work on her latch, as she had to work for the milk. I helped with her breast feeding. The bottle nipple does mimic the shape and length of a breast nipple during breast feeding. She is 7.5 months now and still enjoying using it. The air holes do get blocked and does not allow the milk to come out, so she would suck and get nothing. I use a needle now to ensure that the whole stays free and the flow has been great. The milk does come out of the nipple at times when we shake the formula. I bought one nipple that has a different ring that holds the cap better, however the 4 others I bought take some practice to click the cap on. I wish that you could buy a nipple with an 8oz bottle, as my daughter grew out of the 5 oz very quickly. I also wish that Medela had a 10+oz bottle. I bought Nuk bottles and the nipples fit well, however the Medela storage caps do not fully seal properly. So the Nuk bottle will leak if not stored straight up (e.g. in your diaper bag). I had some difficulty with one part of the Calma nipple, and Medela would not replace it and does not have replacement parts to buy for this nipple. So I kept the good parts just in case one of my other nipples breaks down. It is so expensive, I was not impressed that Medela would not be as helpful as other baby product companies. I have had friends that had free stroller replacements, and I just needed one part to make the nipple work.

How many people don't know the difference between sushi and sashimi?
More than you would believe.
Before contrasting the two yummy treats, let's make sure we define them properly.
Sushi, one of the most popular Japanese dishes outside of Japan, is technically anything served, rolled or wrapped with vinegar-treated rice. It's usually rice wine vinegar.
Does it have to be a fish? The answer is no. Is it usually...yes. But remember, you can also order vegetable rolls at some sushi restaurants.
There are different forms of sushi.
- Maki (or norimaki) rolls are usually what one thinks of when you say sushi. They come in both inside-out (rice on the outside) and with the nori sheet (seaweed) on the outside.
- Temaki are the cone-shaped hand rolls.
- Gunkan is a nori sheet shaped like a bowl, with a small bed of rice on the bottom and filled with roe, sea urchin or other things
- Nigiri is when you take the rice and shape it like a brick, then lay a slice of fish over the top of it.
In fact, Miller Park's ode to sushi is technically accurate, although I'm sure it doesn't sound too pleasing for traditionalists.
Now on to sashimi: Sashimi is raw fish. Just the fish, and nothing else but the fish.
In summation, all sashimi can be made into sushi, but not all sushi is sashimi.
Got it? Good.
If you're still confused, maybe you should just go out for pizza instead.

A lawmaker says a new smart phone apps that make it easier to spy on your loved ones should be banned because they can also help stalkers and abusers track their victims.
Manhattan Assemblyman Micah Kellner (D-Manhattan) is pushing for a ban on smartphone "spy" applications such as "Spy2Mobile" and "iTrack."
"This is stalking for the 21st century, the idea that you can be omnipresent in somebody's life -- It's an illegal wiretap," said Assemblyman Kellner.
Our cellphones have made it easier than ever before for people to find us, but now some say apps that actually allow our friends to track our every move could be going too far.
One app promises to give you full access to another person's texts and call log while another lets you tracks your friend with your phone.
They are just two of a growing number of applications and soft wares that let mobile users virtually spy on others and while they are marketed as just for fun – domestic violence advocates say they have serious consequences.
"For young people like day one's clients, who are victims of dating violence and DV, having people know your location without your knowledge can put your life at risk."
Stephanie Nilva runs Day One, a city organization that advocates on behalf of teen victims of dating violence. She is now among those supporting legislation drafted by Assemblyman Kellner to ban apps like Spy and Mobile, which can be downloaded onto a person's phone without their knowledge.
"It takes two minutes for it to download and then someone has access to everything you're doing. Where you are, who you're speaking with, who you're texting with, and an abuser can become omnipresent in a victims life," said Nilva, Day One Executive Director.
Kellener's legislation would make it illegal to sell or provide a program that automatically forwards texts or other messages without the users consent but while most agree it's well intentioned, not everyone is confident it would be effective.
"The sad thing is, this kind of ban has proven to be completely ineffective."
Tech expert Shelly Palmer says while the bill may take some of the apps off the market, others would likely continue to pop up.
"This is just an ineffective way to sensationalize a problem, but the good news is he has shined a light on something I think we should all be aware of, which is hey, people can look at your emails people can look at your location, do you want that to be happening?" said Palmer.
The assemblyman says he will hold hearings on the bill later this summer after writing to Google. He has already gotten feedback from the tech-giant promising to look into the issue.
