Can technology that is environmentally friendly be equally friendly to the bottom line? Bioengineering in Wald, Switzerland, believes it can.
The company has been making stainless steel fermentors since 1972, at which time no such equipment was available for most applications, according to professor Sebastian Niklaus, quality unit manager. "Product development meant just making what was needed. Today product development is a complex, interdisciplinary, and time-consuming process," he says.
"Our approach is efficiency with resources and consciousness concerning waste. That has always been a concern for the founders of Bioengineering. Switzerland is conscious of environmental issues, so green technology came naturally."
"Customer-specific, upgradable steel fermentors represent progress," adds Karin Koller, scientific assistant. "Sustainability means resourcefulness, as well as developing the innovation to ensure product quality, enhance product yields, and thus ensure economic success."
Dr. Niklaus notes that the current product line includes fermentors and equipment from the laboratory, pilot, and up to production scale for microbial, cell culture, and extremophile applications. "The emphasis, however, is on customized equipment and professional production applications."
The bioengineering division of the company designs and builds customized fermentation and cell-cultivation plants. The bioequipment division manufactures standard equipment for fermentation and cell cultivation from lab to pilot scale. Vessel sizes from 1 to 3,000 L facilitate the upscaling of newly developed processes in several steps up to the actual production scale.
Reactor types include airlift fermentors, photo bioreactors, enzyme membrane reactors, fluidized bed reactors, high-pressure/high-temperature fermentors, loop safety fermentors, NMR reactors, solid substrate fermentors, or cell culture reactors. Bioequipment also provides a full range of peripherals, fermentation accessories, probes and measuring systems, components, and spare parts.
Individual, process-oriented design of automation and control systems is the task of the biocontrol division, which designs fully automated high-tech plants equipped with high-precision measurement and control technology.
BioQS develops and complements the quality assurance manual, prepares the validation protocols, and monitors their application in practice.
The key to success, says Dr. Niklaus, has been stainless steel fermentors that have proven themselves over the years. The modular components make the fermentors easy to upgrade, thus improving production processes in a sustainable way. While some people argue that disposable fermentors require less cash outlay and installation time and eliminate cleaning requirements, Dr. Niklaus maintains that an integrated, modular stainless steel fermentation system has a number of advantages.

Five characteristics of an open source city
The five elements of an open source city
Which of these characteristics is most important to start a local open government movement?
How can you apply the concepts of open source to a living, breathing city? An open source city is a blend of open culture, open government policies, and economic development.
I derived these characteristics based on my experiences and while writing my book, The foundation for an open source city.
Characteristics such as collaboration, participation, transparency, rapid prototyping, and many others can be applied to any city that wants to create an open source culture. Let's take a look at these characteristics in more detail.
Five characteristics of an open source city
- Fostering a culture of citizen participation
- Having an effective open government policy
- Having an effective open data initiative
- Promoting open source user groups and conferences
- Being a hub for innovation and open source businesses
Citizen participation
Probably one of the most difficult components of an open source city is to foster a culture of citizen participation. Governments try a variety of tactics from public meetings to online forums, but if citizens aren't engaged or don't care, then that outreach and collaboration falls flat on its face. Having citizen champions around certain causes can really help boost citizen participation and engagement.
Open government policy and open data
Policy is another key component of an open source city. I've separated the open government policy from the open data initiative because they have different impacts and implications. These policies can go hand-in-hand, but sometimes governments will start with one policy and then as they feel more comfortable with the concepts of open source and open government, the other policy will follow. Take a look at this blueprint used to pass an open government resolution for the City of Raleigh.
User groups and conferences
Participation comes in another form with user groups and conferences—like-minded people gathering around their passions. Just go to meetup.com and you'll discover a variety of groups gathering on just as many topics. User conferences, or cons, gather different open source communities. Hosting these conferences and supporting user groups will boost your open source city credibility.
Economic development
Finally, having an economic development strategy that includes open source companies can help foster innovation and create jobs. More and more cities are also seeing the advantages of having an open data policy tied to their startup community. Cities that can combine their open data policy with their economic development strategy can give a real boost to startups and other businesses. Being a hub for open source companies and a catalyst for open source startups can have a positive impact on the city's bottom line. More importantly, this feeds back in to culture and participation.
In my book, I take a look at how these five principles are being actively applied in Raleigh, North Carolina. I also incorporate other experiences from my open government adventures such as CityCamps and my first Code for America Summit. Although Raleigh is the case study, the book is a guide for how cities across the country, and world, can implement the open source city brand.
What do you think about the five elements of an open source city? Do they resonate with you? Does your city have a good head start? Speak up in the comments.

I would recommend to the interested reader the book "The Voluntary City" by Beito, et al.
An excerpt:
This looks interesting. Thanks!
Personally I think the 5 elements combined are key to an open government movement. I'm not sure if smaller towns would be able to get groups and conferences (4) off the ground though. If I look at my own town (Lansingerland, Netherlands, Europe) I can see them applying the other 4. But maybe this is also a difference in Culture?
I also think, that if local governments acquire community management skills, they would have more and faster results. Community Management can be the 'glue' between those elements.
I need to finish Jason's book, the foundation for an open source city. Still looking to compare culture, statistics like number of citizens, and find pratical examples if such a movement could work for my own town.
Thanks for the reply Jason, especially about the groups and conferences. Helps put it in perspective. Once I've finished your book, I'll have another look at the culture comparison. And.... very curious what you are brewing on with both the community and Cognitive Surplus + culture mash up.
I've been reading the book and it's very refreshing. The definition is also novel. At least where I come from, it seems like the definition of an "open source foo" is passing law on it. I would love to hear about the impact that passing law (mandating open source, barring everything else, even mandating particular "types" of open source, behaviors and expectations) has had in the broader open source communities. When I take a look at the market share, contribution to broader projects, etc., of places where law has been passed, it is disheartening. See the focus being moved to open government, civism and knowledge sharing thru events is really refreshing. I think it's time for us as a community to step up and question the procurement law thingy where it hasn't been yielding results and come to a much necessary balance to move forward. Great job!
I think you'd both enjoy Commingled Code by Josh Lerner and Mark Schankerman. The research was funded by Microsoft, which is problematic, but it raises some interesting questions about open source mandates.

People Exclusive
The actress, 40, who plays Savi Davis, starts out a preview clip of the show seductively flirting with Brett Tucker's character, Harry Davis, who is presumably married to someone else.
But when the scene shifts to the bedroom, viewers come to find out that Savi and Harry are actually married, and their meet-up was only part of a roleplaying game to spice things up during their quest to get pregnant.
"I should probably be on top," Tucker, 40, says while the two are tossing around on the bed. "Since you're ovulating, we probably shouldn't waste the good stuff."
Explains Milano to PEOPLE: "Every woman trying to get pregnant knows the difference between 'trying' sex and regular sex. And if you've been trying for a long enough time, it gets more and more difficult to keep it fun and exciting. This scene is about Savi's attempt to keep her sex life with her husband alive using roleplaying. Unfortunately, Harry has his eye on the fertility prize and the mood gets kind of ruined."
Mistresses premieres June 3 (10 p.m. ET) on ABC.

The Top 8 'Oh Shit!' Moments from Mixed Martial Arts
Wrong type of shit. UFC 15: Mark Kerr vs. Ranger Stott
In Mixed Martial Arts, a fighter can be knocked out instantly, slowly beaten into a puddle, or submitted from out of the blue. As a sport, it is the leading generator of oh shit moments, which is any moment that makes you say that. Here are the top eight.
Due to the nature of expletives, this was a difficult list to put together. "Oh shit!" can mean so many things. I'm terrible at examples, but say you're at brunch, you might shout, "Oh shit, that brunch ghost has a knife!" Whereas someone else might be jumping out of a birthday cake going, "Ohhh, shit! Which one of you fellas is having a birthday party? Oh shit-- Grandpa?! Oh... shit, I bet your grandson leaping from a cake with his dick out is the kind of memory that comes with a Get Out of Alzheimer's Free card."
Because the expression has such varied usage, this will not be a simple Top Something list. Instead, I will list only the best MMA moment from eight separate uses of oh shit.
Oh shit!PRIDE Shockwave: Bob Sapp vs. Rodrigo NogueiraBob "The Beast" Sapp is 400 pounds, and if 300 pounds of it aren't pure steroids, then someone has got to be fucking kidding. Going into his fight with Nogueira, his MMA record was 2-0 against two Japanese fighters 1/3 his size. Both fights were identical: TKO via ape spaz, followed by a post-fight interview of, "Paant! Wheeeeze! Paaaant!"
Antonio Rodrigo Minotauro Nogueria is widely regarded as one of the best heavyweight submission experts ever. So this was not so much a matchup between top contenders as it was a field test of jiu jitsu against wild animals. So no one was ready for the oh shit! when Nogueria shot for a single leg and Bob Sapp gut-wrenched him up from the mat and fucking PILEDRIVED him. Nogueria is legally unkillable, so he shrugged it off, but the move was so awesome that Sapp wanted to relive the moment at all costs. This changed after three more failed, desperate piledriver attempts, when he mostly just wanted a nap. Nogueria won a few minutes later with a straight armbar.
To the Japanese, this was like beating Jesus in a fish-making contest. Bob Sapp was the center of Japan's media. He had a music video, endorsed hundreds of products, and their tiny people lined up for the honor of being eaten by him. He was the Japanese equivalent of the '85 Bears, Crocodile Dundee, Muhammad Ali, and the California Raisins all in one.
He was making so much money that he didn't give a fuck. He used to joke that he could corner the ass-wiping market tomorrow by putting his face on one brand of toilet paper. If there was a paycheck involved, he did whatever. He ate bananas and acted like a gorilla on Japanese TV, which in the black community is like beggin' whitey's pardon and askin' if a softshoe would be to his likin'. It was racist to a point that even Bryant Gumbel called him an Uncle Tom. And Bryant Gumbel is so white that he clutches his purse tighter when he passes by President Obama.
Oh, SHIT!Pride Critical Countdown 2004: Fedor Emelianenko vs. Kevin RandlemanFedor Emelianenko is a merciless knockout machine that emerged from the ruins of war torn Stalingrad to avenge the angry dead. Kevin Randleman is a wrestler whose body was kidnapped by science and mostly replaced with horse DNA. After an early takedown by Randleman, Fedor scrambled to his feet and gave Randleman his back. It is stupidly inadequate to say that what followed next was the greatest suplex in the suplexiverse.
Randleman brought Fedor up in a perfect arc, jumped off his feet, and trebuchet'ed the weight of both of them directly on the point of Fedor's head. It was like he was trying to make dinosaurs extinct again. When wheelchair salesmen watch it, their eyeballs turn to dollar signs.
But instead of bravely learning to walk again years later, Fedor swept him, got side control, punched him in the head 18 times, jumped to north-south, and locked in a kimura. All in the span of 45 seconds. For baseball fans, this is like getting your eye knocked out by a fastball, then hitting 16 home runs with one swing.
After the fight, a reporter asked Fedor how he was able to recover from such a devastating throw, and through a translator Fedor explained, "It didn't affect me. I train to fall great distances." Oh, shit.Watch the fight on Youtube.
Ohhh shit!UFC 4: Joe Son vs. Keith HackneyIn the early days of the UFC, there were no rules! Snarl! Except asterisk: you weren't allowed to bite people or drag them around by their eye or mouth holes. This lack of rules usually led to a wrestler throwing his opponent down and clumsily headbutting them until there was nothing but a bloody crater. But in UFC 4, Keith Hackney's fists painted a no-rules masterpiece on the canvas of Joe Son's balls.
After the fight went to the ground, Keith Hackney passed to side mount. Or as it was known back then, hey-get-up-and-do-karate-you-queers position. Joe Son confusedly held onto a kind-of guillotine headlock which left Keith's right arm free to do whatever it wanted. And it wanted to pound balls.
Keith's bareknuckled hand repeatedly and single-mindedly drove itself into Joe Son's inadequate cup. The fact that it took over six blows for Joe Son to tap out can mean only one thing: vagina.
Joe Son never quite recovered from this. Using his own Jo Son Do fighting system, which I think is just Korean for "rape," he lost every fight in his career, one of them while wearing a thong over his jockstrap. What a Fashion Don't! That's like your dick wearing socks with sandals.
And that wasn't his only fashion faux pas, girlfriend. Sometimes he came to the ring in dramatic 70's eyeshadow. He looked like a chubby alien girl trying to get Captain Kirk's attention. Captain's Log: Not enough space beers in the universe, homo. Captain's Secret Log: No one must know the terrible mistake I made after 15 space beers.
There's more to Joe Son than his caved-in balls and lady's makeup, though: his love of Christ, throwing a shoe at Austin Powers, and of course Joe Son Do. Which now according to the state of California, actually is rape. I think Keith Hackney might have been a time traveller who went back to preemptively destroy Joe Son's balls like you'd kill Hitler as a baby.
Watch the fight on Youtube, at least the ohhh shit! part.
Ohshit.Fight Festival 12: Gilbert Yvel vs. Atte BackmanOne of the greatest MMA knockouts is Gilbert Yvel high kicking Gary Goodridge unconscious in the only move of the fight. Atte Backman must have seen this too, because his fight strategy against Yvel was leaping onto him like a toy koala bear on a pencil.
While Gilbert struggled to get free of Atte's pointless death grip, the two of them almost toppled over the ropes in a Greco clinch. In cases like this, the referee breaks the fighters up and tries to reset them as close as possible to how they were. This was fine with Atte, who was here to hug, but Gilbert was here to punch faces. A comical argument ensued as the referee and Atte tried to get the perfect hug reinstated while Gilbert kept pushing them away and getting in a boxing stance.
Everyone involved had wills of iron.
"Hug me, Yvel!"
"Fuck you, Atte!"
"Hug him, Yvel!"
Fuck you, ref!"
Suddenly, Mr. Yvel thought of the perfect win-win situation to these guys getting in the way of his face punching: punching the referee in the face! Eureka, and knockout. And just to show that this wasn't some kind of accident, he kicks him when he's down.
It's situations like this that test a man. What would you do if you saw a trained fighter attacking a helpless man and you're the only one who can save him? Well, this is my favorite part: if you're Atte Backman, you immediately run for the ropes and get out of the ring! "You're on your own, ref! That motherfucker's crazy! You can kiss Atte's ass!"
Watch the "fight" on Youtube.Ohhh, shiiit!UFC 43: Marvin Eastman vs. Vitor BelfortVitor's first four fights in the UFC were all the same. He ran in, punched his opponent in the face 70,000 times in ten seconds, and then his corner would cheer "jiu jitsu! jiu jitsu!" in victory. I think it must be portuguese for "face doctor! face doctor!" But whatever it means, Marvin Eastman should have been ready and should have brought helmet.
One minute in, a gash opens up on Eastman's head so big that you could look in and see what he was thinking. Much like the virgin Mary appearing on a piece of toast, his forehead conjured the image of Joe Son's knuckle-beaten vagina. It was so wide it had time zones. The doctor stitching him up had to put the needle in one end, then take a boat to the other. Needless to say, they stopped the fight so someone could cover the awful thing with some panties.
This was another difficult category to pick, since I also said a similar ohhh, shiiit! during PRIDE FC 1, where dick kickboxer Branko Cikatic illegally booted Ralph White in the head when he was down. Ralph, victor by DQ, immediately grew a silly putty egg on his forehead that ballooned into a pantyhose egg before our very eyes. To make it stranger, his cornerman was Dave "Apollo" Cook, who played a douchebag in the documentary Choke, couldn't stop fucking with it. As the bump grew and grew, "Apollo" was poking, rubbing, and polishing it like a kid with a dead squirrel.
If I hadn't specified MMA moments, this spot on the list would have gone to the K-1 match of Jerome LeBanner vs. Cyril Abidi. Something... evil happened during the first round, and it caused LeBanner's forehead to swell to full elephant man. You wouldn't know by looking, but LeBanner spent the entire fight kicking Abidi's ass. Unfortunately, it takes exactly the same amount of time to kick a Frenchman's ass as it does to gestate a forehead pregnancy to full term. Watch this fight on Youtube.
Oh shit.UFC 2: Fred Ettish vs. Johnny RhodesUFC 2 was crazy. It was a sixteen man tournament, meaning you had to beat four guys in one night. And when you have sixteen men, who thinks to bring backups? This led to a problem when one fighter couldn't continue in the quarterfinals.
But there is no problem that can't be solved with Ettish. Fred Ettish was backstage, enjoyed karate, and never doesn't have a karate outfit with him. He emerged as a replacement fighter, still putting his gi on, while the announcer Rich "G-Man!" Goins struggled to read his fighting style from a card. "Shoren ee riimatsu... goren? Kenpo karate!"
He faced Johnny Rhodes, a doughy but tough kickboxer. The bell rings and Ettish strikes a pose. He throws a snap kick exactly like the picture in his Bruce Tegner karate book. It hits exactly where he threw it and he, Johnny Rhodes, and the people watching from home all say the same thing: oh shit. A guy who trains with nine year olds at the YMCA is in a real fight.
The fight was a perfect storm of catastrophe. Johnny was just clumsy enough that he couldn't finish Ettish off. He beat Ettish into a meatloaf while he curled into variations on the fetal position and tried to somehow pull it together long enough to personally invent how to fight. The referee thought he was only there to check people for ninja stars, so he had no idea it was his responsibility to save someone from this type of savagery. He was only there to enforce no rules! Mercifully, Johnny Rhodes stopped dropping fist bombs on Fred Ettish's head long enough to give it a hug, and Fred Ettish had a chance to tap out to the "choke."
Fred Ettish never appeared in the UFC again until minutes later when the bloody remains of his face popped up behind Johnny Rhodes during the post-fight interview. It was ignored by Rhodes himself, and the production crew.
Watch the legendary fight on Youtube.
Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit!PRIDE 21: Don Frye vs. Yoshihiro TakayamaDon Frye looks like an old west sheriff, and Takayama looks like Japan tried to make their own Hulk Hogan out of juiced grapes. When they faced off, the two of them somehow, without speaking, managed to come to some kind of gentleman's agreement. They decided the only move each of them would use is grabbing the opponent's head with one hand, and punching it over and over with the other.
Within seconds, it turned into a sublime combination of ultra violence and slapstick. As they pound, pound, pounded each other's skulls, you could see all the faces in the crowd light up with joy. Grown men, little girls-- they'd been waiting their whole lives for this one perfect moment! Your brain damage does not happen in vain, Frye and Takayama!
Watch this chess match unfold on Youtube.
Oh shit?PRIDE Bushido 7: Charles "Krazy Horse" Bennett vs. Yoshiro Maeda"Krazy Horse" isn't a cute nickname. Charles Bennett is a legitimate lunatic. And when he's not strangling people professionally and recreationally, he loves to do celebratory backflips off the ring ropes. Almost always with near-death results.
I... think that's what he had in mind when he knocked out Maeda. He cheered and ran straight for the ropes, but in his excitement, he forgot to run the idea through his head. Without cutting his momentum, he flew right over the ropes and into what I imagine is either oblivion or alligators. We'll never know. Once it's clear that Krazy Horse is falling to his death, the director cuts away to a shot of Bennett's downed opponent. We're left to assume that Charles Bennett... is lost forever.
Watch his leap of faith on Youtube.
Oh shi-- OH SHIT!TUF 4 Finale: Scott Smith vs. Pete Sell
Three minutes into the second round, Pete Sell hits Scott Smith with a huge left to the body. Most people reading have taken a body shot or had the wind knocked out of them. But what many people don't understand is what it's like to get hit in the liver. It's the liver's job to filter toxins out of your body. And when somebody's left hand or foot slams into it, it's like every cocktail you ever drank, every poisonous insect that crawled in your mouth while you slept... they're all released back into your body at the same time. The end result is a lot like getting knocked out, only you're awake for it. Your arms and legs stop working and you see an Indian with an extra horse beckoning you into the woods.
This happened to Scott Smith, and he doubled over like a cartoon. Pete Sell was stunned by his own bad assedness for a moment, then rushed in to finish his helpless opponent, purely as a technicality. But Scott! Smith! Was! Not! Done!!! He threw an overhand right into Sell's face that removed a year of elementary school from his brain. The two collapsed on each other Rocky II style, one unconscious and the other incapacitated. The ref declared it a knockout win for Smith, exactly zero seconds before he rolled onto his back and waited to join his brothers in Valhalla. Oh, shit!Watch this fight on Youtube.

While searching for a way to make my students feel special on the first day of class, I discovered the "Ledgerdomain Journal." As I began to visualize the course I preparing for, "Career Directions and Your Daily Bread," I thought about how perfect this would be for my students.I was drawn to the personalization feature to give them some pride and ownership. The whole idea of journaling is perfect for my undergraduate students because they are so digitally connected, I thought, this will give them something that will not vanish into a hard drive but be a record of the lessons learned during the class - something they will have years from now as they make the transition from college to career.With my role sheet in hand (actually on the screen) I purchased one for each student, complete with initials. It was exciting for me to write a personal note inside each journal them. All of this in preparation for the first class.Yes, they were excited (and very surprised) when I presented each student with their beautiful journal. I don't have to encourage them to take notes, they carry these with them everywhere! As I lecture I glance at their desks, each one with this journal in front of them, happily filling them up.Thanks Levenger! Professor David C. Pecoraro

I appreciate the Levenger 100% satisfaction policy that allows returns. I bought two of these journals when they were first introduced, hoping for an alternative to a more expensive book that I use for my journal. I use a fountain pen with a fine cursive italic nib and Waterman Blue-Black ink. And with these Ledgerdomain journals I experienced bleed-through and feathering. Levenger kindly accepted my return for full credit even though I had written on the first page in fountain pen ink. These journals just might be perfect for rollerballs or ballpoints (or pencils?!) but not for fountain pens.

Writing is more of a pleasure in this journal
By Fountainpenly
from Pleasanton, CA
Comments about Levenger Ledgerdomain Journal:
This is a beautiful book, from the border designs on the cover, to the gilt-edged pages, to the satin bookmark, and -- most importantly -- to the quality paper used. I prefer to write with a fountain pen, and this journal makes it smooth and easy, with no bleed-through on the opposite side of the page. The size is comfortable. I will be inspired to think in ink more often!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Poetry Journal
By Hope
from Sacramento, CA
This journal is beautiful and will hold my poetry. My poems are scattered all over the place and now that I'm retired, I'll have the time to gather and put them in one place. Not sure I will ever publish but just having them altogether in one book is special to me. I chose this journal specifically for the quality of paper, the construction, and the personalization. It encompasses every feature I was looking for.
On my 8th year using this journal!
By Amanda
from Maine/Florida
Love using this for my journal and hope it is available for years to come. Excellent paper quality (I use a fountain pen!) and rugged bonding. I often insert cards and pictures and the binding always remains intact. I have given several as gifts and would recommend this to anyone!

Just right
By Curator
from Cambridge MA
I've journaled in everything imaginable over the years, and this is one of my favorites. For me, fountain-pen friendly paper is essential as I often write with vintage, flexible nibs that lay down a fair amount of ink. This paper is lovely; the journal size is just right, and the binding and sewing allows one to write with equal ease on either side of the spine. The annotation border is useful but can be ignored. Its a winner-and I will probably buy more for use at the office.

Great Author's Journal
By Mycroft
from Mendham, NJ
I am a Thriller Writer and one of those who prefers to write creatively in longhand. The Ledgerdomain Journal has just the right dimensions and page count (~200) for my writing. Fill two of these in long hand and I've got got a first draft of my novel! I have used lined accounting journals before, but the Ledgerdomain is a little more upscale and just right.
Legacy quality
By Fxcicorice
from Undisclosed
Just what I was looking for. Look is elegant and construction is high quality assuring that the ledger will endure for generations. Wish the personalization were larger and more durable as mine is already fading with only 1 month use.
By elderly

exactly what I wanted as a gift for my journal keeping/author wife. thank you
Instant Heirloom
By CBurr
from Minneapolis, MN
Quality surrounds every facet of this journal. Simple and timeless, this journal gives the writer the experience of an era far removed from today.
Perfect Journal
By e7m3j6w
from Santa Rosa, CA
Compact. Neat. Inspiring. I anticipate the joy of reading the forthcoming short stories that the sturdy covers will hold. The recipient was delighted with this small, "right" gift!

3 Things Every Responsible Babysitter Should Know
Being a responsible sitter means being prepared. It's very unlikely that you'll face an emergency. But knowing you're capable of handling problems allows you to relax and focus on the kids.
So before the parents leave, be sure you know these three things:
1. How to get in touch with the parents
Check that you have the right phone numbers and contact information at the start of every job. You may have been babysitting the same kids for ages, but what if a parent got a new mobile number and forgot to tell you?
It also helps to get a backup number, like the number of a restaurant the parents will be at or a close neighbor's number, just in case their cell phone battery dies or there's no signal.
2. Where to find medical information and supplies (and how to use them)
Ask parents if they have a file with information on a child's health issues, allergies, prescription medications, etc. Or create a form of your own and fill in the blanks when you meet with the family. Ideally, you'll want to get this information in advance so you have time to go over it and know what to expect.
It's a good idea for parents of small kids to keep a first aid kit so items like alcohol wipes, Band-aids, and antibacterial cream are in the same place. Know where the first aid kit is, what's in there, and how to use it. If you use items from the kit, let the parents know so they can restock them.
You'll need to know which items from the first aid kit you can use on kids and which you can't. For example, even if a first aid kit is stocked with pain medications, it doesn't mean you should use them for kids. Always ask a parent what medicines you can give their child (different parents have different rules). And never give aspirin — or medicines with aspirin in them — to a child.
If parents want you to give a child medicine, ask them to show you how. Always check the expiration date of the medicine before you give it. Be sure to close the medicine bottle tightly after after you've measured out the correct dose.
Some kids have allergies to foods and other things that can lead to reactions severe enough to require injectable epinephrine. Know where the family keeps the auto-injector and how to use it (it's really easy once you know how!).
3. How to keep kids safe
Kids love to explore, and they can get into trouble fast. In fact, accidents are one of the leading reasons children end up in a doctor's office or emergency room. That's why supervision is key. Never leave young kids unattended, especially around water, heaters, appliances, and other hazards. And keep the medications mentioned above well out of the reach of kids.
When you're babysitting, avoid distractions like going online, texting, Snapchatting, etc. Kids need your full attention.
If parents want you to handle a task you haven't done before (like drive the kids someplace) ask them to go over all the steps. For example, when driving kids, you'll want to know which car seats they use and how to buckle them in properly. Ask the parents to do a demonstration of how to use their car seats correctly. Better still, find out if you can use the parents' car because it's safer and easier to use a car with the kids' car seats already installed.
Know where the family keeps safety and emergency equipment, like fire extinguishers, flashlights, and batteries. Emergencies are about more than having the right equipment, though: You need to know what to do, including when and how to use things like fire extinguishers.
Check with your local hospital or community center to see if they offer CPR or other emergency training, or take a babysitting course. It can give you the confidence to handle all sorts of situations, from a power outage to an emergency.

Let's continue to kill another generation of Russian male figure skaters (he already did one or two)....
Can you tell us how then managed to get out of the prison for killing?
Now serious, those generations of Russian male skaters had loads of opportunities to show what they can, as Plushenko was very seldom at worlds and when he was at euros he brought 3 places back for next year, so 2 places were for other, he didn't competed on 3 places at the same time .
This argument is one of the silliest i hear! If they cannot get over one skater (and also an aging skater) how they will get over loads of young skaters on the international scene?
Will be ever go away???? I can't imagine that is back is happy. He's going to end up crippled and in a wheel chair.
Guys, don't worry about his health. I'm sure Plush won't push himself too hard. I guess he'll only participate in Russian Nationals to get revenge on Kovtun.
I don't have any problem with him competing. I like the guy. If his health is okay, why not.
I don't consider his "skating" to be elite level these days.
But the judges will still give him "Elite PCS" for it... ...
At this point it feels like the guy is using competitions like his own personal Vogue runway. Maybe the judges will start scoring him accurately to give him a reality check.
wow, he keeps coming back like a boomerang. If his performances are quality ones, why not; but it's these retirements followed by return followed by another 'for real' retirement followed by yet another return, that I just don't care for.
This whole "one elite level skater kills the rest in the country" theory doesn't hold up to scrutiny. What about the days when Yagudin and Plushenko were at the top together? Or Michelle Kwan, and all the rivals she had over the years (Lipinski, Hughes, Cohen)?
What does he want to prove to us, exactly? Zhenya, you've got 4 Olympic medals and years of brilliance. Figure skating is only a moment in life. You're body's going to stay with you till the end. Now I kind of agree with what Yagudin said about him. He apparently doesn't know what else to do besides figure skating.
If he wants to compete again, sure, good for him. But I don't see what he's trying to prove at this point, and certainly don't think he has anything new to offer (I mean, his FS was literally a re-hash of his past programs, after all).
I don't disagree with anything in your post (for once ), but I'd just like to point out: I doubt he created that free skate because he was "running out of ideas." He created it because it was his final Olympics, in his home country, and that free skate was his final farewell. Seriously, why would you skate to your own greatest hits collection for any other reason? For these four years, Sochi has been his endgoal. He's fought and fought through injuries get there. I thought that free skate was the most fitting swan song. Unfortunately, he couldn't end his career the way he had always intended, so now he's back... maybe... we'll see...(I mean, his FS was literally a re-hash of his past programs, after all).

Dairy icon, Jim Cavanaugh, passes away
Dairy icon, Jim Cavanaugh, passes away
One of the most successful leaders of the purebred dairy cattle industry passed away April 6 just eight days shy of his 93rd birthday. James F. Cavanaugh joined the American Jersey Cattle Association in 1947 and went on to become the longest-serving executive secretary in Association history, heading the organization from 1956 to 1985. Under his leadership, Cavanaugh helped guide the 1953 purchase of the Jersey Journal, the 1957 formation of National All-Jersey, the 1967 creation of the AJCC Research Foundation, and the 1971 addition of the Jersey Marketing Service. Truly a pioneer, Cavanaugh pioneered the adoption of the USDA sire summary for recognition of bulls and was a vigorous campaigner against using minus bulls. Additionally, he was a vocal supporter of the multiple component pricing movement. There is no doubt that today's popularity of Jerseys can be traced directly to Jim Cavanaugh.
Born and raised on a Kansas farm, he graduated from Kansas State University. In 1939, he was selected by the Borden Company to work at the company's exhibit at the 1939 New York World's Fair where he cared for the famous "Elsie" the Borden cow. Cavanaugh is shown in the photo during a 2007 reunion of the Borden Boys in New York. During World War II, he flew 50 missions as a bomber pilot. Cavanaugh joined the Hoard's Dairyman editorial staff prior to entering military service and remained on the staff until 1947 when he joined the national Jersey association as assistant secretary. And it was Jim Cavanaugh who encouraged Eugene C. Meyer to join the Hoard's Dairyman editorial team when he left the Hoard's staff for his new position at Jersey.
Soon after Cavanaugh's retirement from the American Jersey Cattle Association, Cavanaugh was persuaded to accept an 18-month appointment as secretary-treasurer of the American Guernsey Association on January 1, 1986. Then Cavanaugh was named acting secretary of National DHIA in April 1987 and stayed on until March 1, 1988.
Cavanaugh served as President of National Dairy Shrine in 1962. In 1975, he received the Distinguished Service Award from the American Dairy Science Association, and, in 1977, was World Dairy Expo Industry Person of the Year. The very next year he was honored as the National Dairy Shrine Guest of Honor.
His wife, Virginia, preceded Jim in death. Visitation is at the Egan-Ryan East Chapel at 4019 East Livingston in Columbus, Ohio, on April 8, from 2 to 4 p.m., and from 6 to 8 p.m. The funeral will take place at St. Catharine Catholic Church on 500 South Gould Road in Columbus at 10 a.m., Friday April 9. At the request of the family, in lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to The J.F. Cavanaugh Fund of the AJCA Research Foundation, 6486 East Main Street, Reynoldsburg, Ohio, 43068-2362.

After an absence of nearly eight years, paint ball will triumphantly return to the Valley Isle this weekend.
Seasoned paint ballers and curious adventure seekers above the age of 10 can head over to Maui Paintball at 11 a.m. today. It is located between the Olowalu Refuse and Recycle Transfer Station and Olowalu General Store.
"Honestly it's a shock," said Maui Paintball founder and owner Clint Hansen. "I didn't expect it to take this long, so it's amazing."

The 31-year-old Hansen said bringing paint ball back to the island has been a long and arduous task, but one he was adamant about. When the Kula-based Darren and Donald Paintball (D&D) closed in 2005, players no longer had access to formal fields or games.
Hansen said he was disappointed, considering that he was introduced to the sport at the Kula paint-ball field on his 13th birthday.
"I loved it," he said. "Because D&D shut down here, there was nothing for kids to do. I took the time and effort to find a field, and that took about five years."
Hansen, a real estate agent, said it took several years to find a suitable location and receive approval on a special use permit from various governing bodies.
"You have to talk to multiple government, federal, state, county, environmental and cultural (groups)," he said. "I mean, there's dozens and dozens of studies that took an immense amount of time and effort . . . about two years."
It took another year for the permitting process, which included a fencing permit and a grading permit for the parking lot, Hansen said. He also needed letters of authorization for onsite storage buildings that also will serve as office space.
The 10-acre facility is complete with 4,500 square feet of tree forts, which required multiple letters from the county to allow construction. Hansen attended one of the county's permitting open houses and showed representatives the design of his tree forts.
"I don't have anything under the roof. I don't have any electricity in it, and I don't have any plumbing. So it's basically a walkway," he said. "I'm fortunate enough to be exempt from (standard building codes) because it's a play structure."
Aside from the tree forts, an old double-decker sugar cane bus serves as a strategic point within one of the three designated playing fields. The bus was abandoned in Kihei and transported to the facility, eventually being hauled into position with Hansen's tractor.
"It was a very fun process," he said.
Maui County planner Kathleen Aoki was assigned to the paint-ball facility and said she is excited to see the project coming to fruition.
"There was a lot of positive testimony for that project," she said of the Maui Planning Commission's approval of the facility in a hearing, two years ago. "It'll serve the community well, and I wish them all the luck in the world."
On Wednesday, around 35 Kapalua Adventures staff and family members participated in the first match at the facility. Hansen said he did not witness the game because he was busy making final preparations for formally opening the facility.
"I heard those guns go, and I was just, it was magical actually," he said. "It's silly to say, but it was."
Barbara "Buddy" Bradbury, 50, participated in the paint-ball games alongside her son, who works for the adventures company.
"I've never played paint ball before, but it is amazing," she said. "I mean I feel like I'm 10 again, I love it."
For the soft opening today, games will be played until sundown, with packages priced at $30 per person for a day of play and group packages starting at $200 for 10 people. Packages include a paint-ball gun, a protective mask, an optional chest protector, and a continuous supply of high-pressured air.
Players with their own paint-ball guns or other equipment pay only $20, but all guns are required to shoot under 280 feet per second.
Players are also required to use the facility's paint balls, due to safety and environmental concerns. The paint balls are biodegradable, made with gelatin capsules and food-grade dye.
Hansen said that Wednesday's match was a great success and projects that more than 50 people will be at the facility today.
"It's funny you're shooting at people, but at the end of the day it's like, 'I got you,' " he said. "As you can see by the smiles on their faces, they loved it."
Maui Paintball hopes to have its grand opening Feb. 2.

WHEATFIELD – A business owner who noticed a few things missing in a display case Sunday learned that $4,000 to $6,000 worth of jewelry had been taken, according to Niagara County sheriff's deputies.
Karen Warner, who operates as part of a collective of sellers in the Shawnee County Barn on Shawnee Road, said rings, bracelets, earrings and pendants were missing.
Employees told deputies that a suspicious man had been in the store on Saturday and brought numerous items to the counter several times, but then left after he said he forgot his wallet.

The Red Wings kryptonite is a relatively low skill team that....
- Skates hard the entire game
- Hits a Red Wing player EVERY chance they get
- Gives them NO space in all three zones
Forecheck and backcheck the hell out of this team and they turn to jello.
Nashville perfected it. Calgary and Columbus have embraced it.

"I can tell you of a land where they eat and drink out of golden vessels and gold is as cheap as iron."
Those words spoken to 16th century Spanish explorer, Balboa, produced the legend of El Dorado, a mythical city whose streets were said to be paved in gold and whose legend inflamed the imaginations of treasure seekers from the Spanish Conquistadores to Sir Walter Raleigh and, more recently, West Virginia state delegate Eric Householder - except that Householder's El Dorado goes by a different name. He calls it "South Carolina."
In Householder's mind, South Carolina is a place of burgeoning prosperity where unemployment and taxes are low, wages are high, government is small, and citizens are less dependent. And South Carolina isn't the only such place. According to Householder, seven other states - North Carolina, Georgia, Texas, Oklahoma, Florida, Tennessee and Virginia - are similarly flourishing because, as he argued in a recent "Householder's Happenings" column, they have "Right to Work" laws - a policy he wants West Virginia to adopt.
Right to Work laws are designed to counteract "big labor" and "forced unionism," the standard villains of conservative ideology. They, along with safety net programs that redistribute incomes, are held to be the causes of all economic misery. So, it's understandable that dogmatists such as Householder assume that states that have done the most to rid themselves of these bugaboos enjoy greater prosperity.
But, do they? Let's look at the measures Householder listed.
UNEMPLOYMENT - The Bureau of Labor Statistics July report ranks four of Householder's Right to Work states with unemployment rates below the national average - Oklahoma, Virginia, Texas and Florida. But, the other four - South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and North Carolina - have rates that are among the worst in the nation. Meanwhile, West Virginia has a lower unemployment rate than all but two, Oklahoma and Virgina. Taken togther, the unemployment rate in Householder's Right To Work states is no better than the national average and significantly worse than West Virginia's.
WAGES - Implying, as Householder does, that Right to Work laws raise wages is disingenuous since the way in which these laws theoretically make states "more competitive" is by driving wages down. So, it's not surprising that 2011 Economic Policy Institute data show that only one of Householder's Right to Work states Virginia - had a median wage higher than the national median. The other seven all had wage rates below the national median and five of them were lower than West Virginia's. Taken together wage levels in Householder's Right to Work States are significantly worse than in the nation as a whole.
TAXES - The Tax Foundation 2013 Business Tax Climate Index, which combines personal and corporate taxes, ranks three of Householder's states - No. 5 Florida, No. 9 Texas and No. 15 Tennessee - in the top half of all states. But, five are in the bottom half - No. 27 Virginia, No. 34 Georgia, No. 35 Oklahoma, No. 36 South Carolina and No. 44 North Carolina. West Virginia outperforms most of them, coming in at No. 23. Taken together Householder's Right to Work states have worse-than-average tax rates.
DEPENDENCY - Dependency can be looked at in two ways: rates of dependency among citizens and the dependency of each state on federal government spending. For dependency among citizens, we'll look at the percent of residents who participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as Food Stamps. Seven of Householder's Right To Work states rank in the top half of states for dependency on food stamps, including five of the top 15 - No. 5 Tennessee, No. 8 Georgia, No. 10 Florida, No. 11 South Carolina and No. 14 North Carolina. Only No. 39 Virginia is not in the top half. West Virginia ranks 12th. Taken together, Householder's Right to Work states are significantly more dependent on food stamps than the rest of the nation.
As for state dependency on the federal government, the Internal Revenue Service's summary of Federal Taxation and Spending shows that three of Householder's Right to Work states - Texas, North Carolina, and Georgia - contribute more in taxes than they receive in federal expenditures, but that five - Oklahoma, Florida, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Virginia - receive more than they contribute. To use Mitt Romney's formulation, Householder's Right to Work states are more likely to be takers than makers.
SIZE OF GOVERNMENT - This is the only category in which a majority of Householder's Right to Work states fulfilled his promise. According to the Tax Foundation, all eight states fell below national averages for per capita state spending and for growth in spending over the past decade. On the other hand, West Virginia's per capita spending is already about average for the eight states and our rate of growth in per capita spending is actually less than it is in any of Householder's states. So, there isn't much for West Virginia to emulate.
In summary, while the economies of Householder's Right to Work states grew faster than the nation's since the year 2000 - or at least they did until the 2008 economic crash - the growth failed to translate into prosperity for the people of those states. Why? For two decades nearly all economic gains have been allocated to the top five percent of income earners. Right to Work laws exacerbated that inequity. Now that you know the consequences, as Eric Householder evidently did not, you can judge whether it's a path West Virginia should take.
